MTV awards are nothing but a popularity contest, it isn't a reflection of anything genuine, who cares.

I totally agree! I mean, at least a decade ago they were still ~somewhat~ relevant but....who really gives a shit about these anymore. Stale as fuck

[latothemoon 11,846]

I wish Lana would release a studio version of the Love acoustic that she's been performing live

[Flowerbomb 65,595]

I really hope Lana is working on an EP in the future...I need to hear RBFY

[Cloudbusting 5,382]

Yosemite, Best American Record, Roses Bloom For You, Wild One (maybe this one doesn't even exist lol) I need them all omg. 

[latothemoon 11,846]

Probably no one cares but Y&B is now her most streamed song on Spotify with 238+ million streams, the damn Summertime Sadness remix has been dethroned

[DominicMars 1,764]

Yosemite, Best American Record, Roses Bloom For You, Wild One (maybe this one doesn't even exist lol) I need them all omg.

Wild One definitely exists, it was registered with Beautiful People and written with Justin Parker.

 

Wild Side is an unofficial remix/sample project or something along the lines of that

 

I'm dying to hear it though! I love her work with JP + I love the title haha

[Future Jazz 9,237]

I'm dying to hear Wild One, especially since it was written alongside with Beautiful People, my favorite song on the record. However I don't think she would include a 2015 song if she actually released an EP later this year of in 2018. Not even sure she would put Roses Bloom For You on it, it seems to be such a secondary song for her.

 

By the way, for LDR6, I have three different ideas in my mind about what I would like her to do:

- something really acoustic, in the Pawn Shop Blues style. Very light productions with mainly classic guitar, and sometimes touches of other instruments, to create something soothing, beautiful and calm that would put the priority on her voice. I would like her to get rid of the beats she put in way too many songs on LFL - When The World was literally ruined by it.

- something that would be inspired by grunge rock, with a 1990's vibe; something rawer and more genuine, less modern, less sophisticated and hi-fi than Ultraviolence was. Maybe even with some psychedelic elements sometimes, like Cruel World meets Nirvana.

- something that is more likely: just sad songs with layered vocals, powerful and beautiful melodies, and depressing productions - in the Fine China / Yes To Heaven style.

There may be more similarities in the songs. These are the ones that stood out to me

[Terrence Loves Me 72,876]

I feel like GBA needs to have more violins in the chorus. I think it's lacking certain instrumentation

[American Bottom 16,229]

I feel like GBA needs to have more violins in the chorus. I think it's lacking certain instrumentation

I think she should remove the filter on her voice for the chorus. And sing it in a higher pitch. Similar to how she sings in WTWWAWWKD

[HunterSThompson 4,646]

Still sad that WTWWAWWKD was ruined by that terrible production in the chorus. The guitar in the verses were beautiful and they just had to do...... that to the other parts of the song 

[Lanas honey pot 1,370]

[Veinsineon 77,705]

so are we ever getting the WM video or...

 

i have to admit im losing touch with lana this era more than i did with any of the previous and i'm starting to be saddened by it 

[Future Jazz 9,237]

THIS

 

It ended up being one of the worst songs on the record when it had so much potential and such cool verses

[Cloudbusting 5,382]

The snippets showed the best parts of the songs in some cases like in Groupie Love, In My Feelings, GBA and WTWWAWWKD. So yeah, I gotta admit that I was a little disappointed by the World At War's chorus (except the fact that her singing is so high, that's cool). I mean, when she explained that this song was produced with dark vibes, and that it didn't lead to a happy place, I had so much hope for this song The other thing that bothered me is that she said in another interview (or in the same I don't remember) that the song asked if it was the end of an era or the end of America - I didn't expect that to be an actual lyric spoiler, I thought the song would deal with these themes in a more "subtle" way, if that makes sense. (The same thing happened with Yosemite, lol). Even though I've ranted a lot about this song, I still like it (only because of the verses and the bridge).

[Future Jazz 9,237]

I just thought that after we discovered the tracklist, we all assumed that Lana had scrapped 2 songs from the record since she had said in an interview that there was 18 songs on it. However, she hadn't done Change at the time, because Change was done the day before they sent the record to the label.

 

That means that 3 songs were ultimately scrapped from Lust For Life what was the girl thinking

I remember her saying somewhere she said she scrapped like 3 more political songs that had the vein of GBA & WTWWAW. So if we include those, RBFY, BAR/Architecture, Yosemite, + that unknown song. We have anywhere from 6-7 album outtakes

[wittycatchphrase 1,399]

When The World etc., et al. is like, painful and unlistenable. It makes me wince throughout. The acoustic parts are ok but it goes to shit so quickly. It's more potential than it is fully realized, bummer.
