No one asks for my playlist updates, but I'll post them anyway 

 

 

 

 

 

And this is the UV playlist I actually listen to:

 

 

It makes me happy. 

 

 

[Sitar 22,173]

Hey I went radical and removed Dayglo Reflection from my volumes I decided to reserve those just for unreleased songs...even though HBMP and Song of Myself don't count but shhh neither playlist could start any other way.

 

So here's what I'm doing with DR anyway

 

 

Was gonna do a catch-all EP for released and semi-released non-album things since it appears she has a few upcoming collaborations that wouldn't qualify as unreleased (Brian Wilson, Giorgio Moroder, maybe The Weeknd), but I like "Young & Beautiful" as it's own single, it feels appropriate. So I was thinking of a theme between these remaining four tracks and any future collaborations and DUH--muses! People she's inspired by, whether featured or covered. It's also a nice flow rn, "Summer Wine" doesn't stand out as horribly as it might when coming after the Disney ending of OUAD and when containing the Billie Holliday outro flowing into the voice sample of Dayglo Reflection. Do recommend!

What about Goodbye Kiss??

 

I have Y&B included in my version of this EP because I don't like the song enough to keep it a standalone single taking up artwork space. :^)

Once Upon a Dream

Goodbye Kiss

I had a fifteen hour flight and I made an "Ultimate Lana Del Rey" playlist, where I tried to sequence some sort of a narrative, whether lyrically, thematically, or sonically. I think it's super enjoyable and I really, really love listening to it. It has all of her officially released tracks as Lana Del Rey and two unreleased songs, but I've been meaning to add in a few unreleased/older songs but I'm not sure if I want to. If you have any suggestions, please help me out. Any switches/replacements in the playlist as well.

 

The story sort of goes from the West Coast to the East, starting with an epic opening with title tracks of her albums and moving on towards songs about the open road and California dreams, before going into this beautiful purgatory of her slower tracks, and the into a darker, more intense tracks, and finally into some playful ones before ending the playlist/story back in the West Coast/LA... at least that's what I wanted to do.

@@Rebel clutches pearls at Dark Paradise's placement. I think it looks really nice besides that. (Not the fact that it's there, just where you ended up putting it.) I'm also a fan of the transition from FK to WC Radio Mix.

 

If your playlist is about traveling from coast to coast I think you should add QOTGS and OOW but who knows if my two cents matter bc you hate some songs I love...Also I Don't Wanna Go and TVIB&W could easily fit in with this released-heavy playlist and sound nice.

Yeah I didn't know where to put Dark Paradise and Burning Desire and a few other songs, and at one point I realized I didn't even have OTTR in the playlist, lol... I wanna add finish-sounding tracks to it too so I might add I Don't Wanna Go and Starry Eyed, yeah. 

 

My favorite part is from West Coast to Young and Beautiful, it fits in together so perfectly.

Burning Desire always sounds perfect right after the Summertime Sadness extended radio mix, give it a try. And move DP before MDM imo

I'm gonna listen to it bc it looks pretty good but maybe you can explain the reasoning on your Kill Kill placement...It's surrounded by such bombastic songs. I feel like it should go by West Coast or The Other Woman somehow.

 

Also I already know Blue Jeans with the string intro will be great so i replaced it and you should too

I really didn't want to put the two AKA tracks next to each other and I thought it fit great after MDM and before Shades of Cool soooo I don't know what you're saying. I tried putting it QOTGS and TVINBW but I couldn't do it because they still felt super out of place next to the rest of the songs. Also yes listen to it it's pretty good especially during the "On The Road" sequence that slowly goes into the ~slow pretty songs~ part

 

Also bitch I got the video version of Blue Jeans too

[Rafael 3,512]

Finally sat down and created my very first cohesive playlist! Been wanting to create one for so long, but I've never had the time to do it. It's called... Sunset Twist!

 

Tracklist:

• Kill Kill
• Motel 6
• Hundred Dollar Bill
• Backfire
• TV in Black & White
• Hollywood
• Every Man Gets His Wish
• Daytona Meth
• Old Money
• On Our Way
• Without You
• The Other Woman
• Radio (Demo)
• Million Dollar Man (Demo)
• Angels Forever Forever Angels

Thoughts/LANALYSIS/Fanfic:

1. Kill Kill - Is such a great opener and really sets a tone and vibe to it all. Certainly a reason why it's the first on Lana Del Ray. Give me them beachy tunes~

2. Motel 6 - Goes very well hand in hand with "Kill Kill" and sort of has this attitude to it.

3. Hundred Dollar Bill - A continuation to "Motel 6". Badass chick looking for the #thrill and rush.

4. Backfire - Realizes she cannot live without him. She puts herself out there and opens up.

5. TV in Black & White - Reminiscing the old times they used to spend times together. A big sister to the "Kill Kill" beach feeling~

6. Hollywood - But she has other ways of spending her living. Glamour, gold and Hollywood. *white cali girl voice* lets go shopping!

7. Every Man Gets His Wish - "Hollywood" part 2. Whilst in paradise and Hollywood realizing the way it used to be... Missing him.

8. Daytona Meth - It's like a Hollywood movie. Realizing all of this among the opulence in Hollywood. Reminiscing á "TV in Black & White" but in a more mournful way. K dying. Suddenly realizing we're all gonna die.

9. Old Money - Polished "Daytona Meth". Remember those times? Those summer nights seem long ago

10. On Our Way - Gonna let the lyrics speak for themselves: You say we're gonna run away / I love you more with each and everyday / You say that we were meant to be / We'll be together finally / Life on the run has set me free, me free now

11. Without You - Title speaks for itself.

12. The Other Woman - I'll be the lonely girl. Is this my destiny? The other woman. The one who doesn't end up with true love after all~

13. Radio (Demo) - But you know what? You gotta make the best out of the situation. My songs are playing on the radio. I'm a successful artist. The loss of you almost made me lose myself. Boy I've been raised from the dead / No one even knows how hard life was.

14. Million Dollar Man (Demo) - A tribute. During the time I got to know you I dearly hope I made you feel like a million dollar man~ But why is my heart still broke?

15. Angels Forever Forever Angels - ...But I know someday we'll be united. ~The End~

 

 

Additional comment:

I'm sorry if this came across too fuzzy. I swear it was so much better in my head

But yeah I'm also struggling with the latter songs. I have two sort of endings to the album and it's either with a bittersweet way á "Million Dollar Man" So why is my heart broke? It's just such a heart wrenching way to end an album, but the concept lives on~

The other way is on a more spiritual note á "Angels Forever Forever Angels". That you and I were indeed born to die, but we'll be together soon. Thanks for bearing with me if you read all the way down here. This was so much fun. Let me know what you guys think. I might do another one!

Choke! You hittin me up for feedback and I'm giving it!

 

Seriously, put Kill Kill between WC and Ride, it sets the narrative for her traveling! Do you know I am going to leave you? Not to mention the sound blends flawlessly. That is the sonic section of the playlist for KK okay.

 

I might keep this playlist bc it was really good but maybe it's just my personal dislike towards Starry Eyed that makes it sound out of place...esp after Flipside. Would replace with TVIB&W for my own records. Then that gives you this fantastic section of huge vocal songs that's totally uninterrupted by a lowkey moment, from Dark Paradise to TOW.
