Create an Unreleased Lana Album/Playlist

[keanefar 1,006]

So I think Lana's/Lizzy's best album is easily AKA, and I kinda wanted to re-imagine/enjoy it in a different way; It's nothing special, but I came up with 'Lana Del Ray AKA Lizzy Grant: Let My Hair Down' (longest title award?):

 

Cover and back cover made by the always great Beemo

 

 

1. Kill Kill

2. Queen of the Gas Station (Demo, not the acoustic one)

3. Oh Say Can You See

4. Gramma

5. Let My Hair Down

6. For K Part 2 (Demo)

7. Jump

8. Mermaid Motel

9. Raise Me Up (Early Mix)

10. Pawn Shop Blues

11. Brite Lites

12. Put Me In A Movie (Early Mix)

13. Smarty

14. Yayo (Acoustic Demo, the one featured on 'No Kung Fu')

 

Again, it's nothing special, but part of the re-imagining for me was also re-creating the titles. I also feel like Let My Hair Down could have come straight from AKA, and now that I think of it, HDB v1 (or whatever the less produced one is called) would have fit nicely too. And if you're a mixtape junkie like me, and like to print off covers/burn CDs, here's the tracklist (it's in the same order, but with alternate titles I came up with, or the demo titles):

 

 

Also, while I know it's possible that LMHD may be Dance Man, but is unlikely to be Dance Money, Dance Money is cooler than Dance Man so I went with it

 

Edit:

Well, I really wanted to add HDB to it, so I made a deluxe version and Beemo made a new back artwork.

Tracklist (continuing from previous list):

---
Hundred Dollar Bill v1/less produced version
Come When You Call Me v1
Television Heaven

 

 

Edit: Didn't know Pawn Shop Hunny was used by someone, sorry @@Hundred Dollar Bill

[I Was An Angel 340]

While I make playlists sometimes, I spend a lot more time making my own mixtapes out of Lana's endless discography. I have a handful made up, but only two of them are beautiful & finalized, so those are the ones I'll be sharing! I spend a lot of time rearranging the tracklist and stuff so that the songs sound well next to each other. I had to cut off the silence at the start/end of some of the songs so they'd flow together well. I'm really proud of these so I'd love to hear your opinions on them!

Are you thinking more 2005-2009 (acoustic rock like Fordham Road), or more 2009-2012 (soft pop like I Don't Wanna Go)? And when you say "relaxing," do lyrics matter? ("Disco" and "Get Drunk" are anything but relaxing IMO)

I was thinking like a mix of the stuff below!!

 

 

 

But yeah a lot of her earlier stuff was what I was thinking but also songs like I Don't Wanna Go and I find Disco super relaxing! The lyrics don't matter I was sort of thinking about the vibes of the songs 

 

I know some of my dates are wrong D: 

[lola 6,617]

Slightly off-topic but I seem to remember that Lana has said that she has a playlist with 50 songs that she plays every day and tortures her team with, but I'm not sure if that's something I've made up because I can't find a source for her saying it.

 

She did say in this interview (at around 11:20) that she has an 8 song playlist that she plays every morning but I'm sure she's also talked about the 50-song one. Three of the songs in the 8-one are Teen Idle, I'm on Fire and Hotel California (which I've put in the 50-one too). It kills me that I will never know all the songs or the order of them 

 

Anyways, these are the songs I've assumed she has in her 50-playlist and it's based on this and this interview:

Very laid-back type of playlist. I recommend for rainy days

[lola 6,617]

I made this a while ago, I called it "Now My Life Is Sweet Like Cinnamon" but I'm open to suggestions. I wanted to make a playlist of songs from 2010 and 2011 to kind of re-live the time when I was first discovering Lana but I wanted to give it some kind of rough storyline. It starts when Lana's still young being a little badass that was ~born bad~ and ends with her making it big.

1. Driving In Cars WIth Boys (Version 1)
2. Children of the Bad Revolution
3. Kinda Outta Luck

Opinions? Suggestions?

[keanefar 1,006]

IDK I was bored and wanted to make a make-belief album in between AKA and BTD, pretending she was singing as Lana Rey Del Mar (not saying that's an accurate date to use the name, as I have no idea when she used that name, nor the dates of the songs ) and, yea. I kinda wanted AKA vibes and I would like some suggestions *summons @@PrettyBaby   *

 

TRASH or Trash (Miss America)

 

 

 

 

I kinda wanted surfish vibes, cause that's my fav kinda Lizzy. I'm open to suggestions (for both adding and removing tracks, and order) but it must start with Trash and must have all of Princess Superstar's tracks. Summer Of Sam sticks out, but I wasn't sure how to end the album. BCD is also kinda weird but it's my answer to the crazyness of Smarty . And YGLM and YBIATR are there in lieu of OSCYS and PSB [i was thinking 1949 instead of YGLM? I chose YGLM to follow up the "every time that you walk out on me..." of Maha Maha with "...you're gonna love me, I'm gonna make you..." ]. I want it to somewhat mirror LDRAKALG. Diet Mountain Dew is there to support the theme that this was here before BTD, hence the demo pick.

 

Suggestions plz (especially how to end the album). Cover by Beemo

[PrettyBaby 2,213]

Hmm... going to take this on later today. I had a playlist with surf noir vibes I can consult. (And Florida Dark is my mirror playlist for AKA.)

 

I definitely love the concept!

1. Trash -- love it

2. Diet Mtn Dew demo -- have you considered Lolita demo 1? It's one of the (3:51) demos; I'd describe it as "soft surf noir."

3. YBIATR - I can see this standing in for OSCYS, but it seems more country than surf. What about You & Me?

4. Hawaiian Tropic -- a must-have for the playlist, but I wonder if it would work best as the album closer? Could use Heavy Hitter here.

5. Boarding School -- despite the "South Beach Swing" line, and the noir vibes, it still doesn't feel surf to me. Maybe consider Party Girl.

6. Catch & Release -- Really weird, but I think it could work as a stand-in for Jump. Paradise (the song) is happier tho, and you could use C&R later as a stand-in for Raise Me Up.

7. Maha Maha -- love it!

8. YGLM -- I love this as a stand-in for PSB!

9. You could put Catch & Release here as a stand-in for Raise Me Up

10. Motel 6 -- I like it. (Does it represent RMU or Brite Lites? Either way, I like it.)

11. Moi Je Joie -- love it!

12. Pin Up Galore -- love it!

13. Behind Closed Doors -- Yes! Perfect answer to Smarty

14. Television Heaven -- Not sure why it's here, but I like it

15. Summer of Sam -- This song is so N.Y.C. I think you could close here with Hawaiian Tropic. Unless you want to end on a happier note? Then maybe Summer Wine or Driving in Cars. I also think On Our Way is a great closer; even tho it's not surfish, it could be like, driving away from the coast or something...

 

I haven't had time yet to check the flow of anything, so yours might be better; but these are the suggestions I thought of.

NOOO I had a whole response typed up and lost it all ... I'll type it up again. Anyways, when you get a chance to listen, let me know how you like this Explanation after the jump

 

TRASH

Well I don't feel like typing all that again So I'll make it brief.

 

Thanks so much for your help!

 

So I LOVE Lolita (Demo 1) there, didn't know how awesome it was. I think with YBIATR, I'll replace it with Fordham Road. I think it calms the playlist nicely in-between Lolita and Heavy Hitter, and answers OSCYS nicely. Then I used your suggestion for Heavy Hitter, and took Hawaiian Tropic to the end and swapped it with SOS. Ends way nicer now.

 

I think I really like Boarding School there. Oh, and Motel 6 is for Raise Me Up (not necessarily fitting, but in terms of a faster song, ya know?) and Moi Je Joue is for Brite Lites. I changed the order so YGLM could follow up Maha Maha, like I mentioned before.

 

Let me know how you like it and thanks so much Oh and Television Heaven & Golden Grill are there because I love 'em for a Lizzy album No. 2, and thought they fit
