13 Beaches -

"Ballroom of my mind" could possibly refer to Five To One by The Doors - "Your ballroom days are over, baby." + Lana posted a photo of Jim Morrison & Pam Courson on her honeymoon account a few months ago.

"Underneath the pines" could possibly refer to Nirvana's cover of Where Did You Sleep Last Night - "In the pines, in the pines."

 

Cherry -
I Fall To Pieces by Patsy Cline- I remember Lana uploaded a video of herself in the woods while Patsy was playing sometime last year.

 

White Mustang -

I was thinking maybe the whistling near the end was inspired by Jealous Guy by John Lennon since she was listening to that song while doing her makeup. Could be a stretch though.

Tomorrow Never Came -
Ask Me Why by The Beatles
Tomorrow Never Knows by The Beatles
Tomorrow Never Comes by Elvis Presley
Tomorrow May Never Come by Yoko Ono

 

Change -

A Change Is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke

Get Free -
Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black) by Neil Young - a line from this song was also included in Kurt Cobain's suicide note.
My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue) by Neil Young

the beginning of God Bless America reminds me of the beginning of Chiquitita by ABBA  :hdu: it's almost identical  :defeated:

 


i go through all this / before you wake up / so i can feel happier / to be safe up here with you

Not sure if we're taking into account the production, but at 3:12 in "13 Beaches", there is a sound that is scattered all across "High By The Beach" (see, 1:50 for example - it's easier to hear in the instrumental version of the song)

 

The last few seconds of "Heroin" are also almost identical to the last few seconds of "Cruel World"... go have a listen, you'll be amazed! You have to turn up the volume a bit to hear it though.

 

The last few seconds of "Tomorrow Never Came" are also the same as the last few seconds in Lana's cover of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", the instrument and notes are exactly the same.

 

Also, I've noted in the post-release thread already, but the melodies throughout "White Mustang" and "Heroin" are extremely similar... the latter is almost like a continuation or a reprise of the former.

 

And of course, the "Get Free" chorus is quite reminiscent of "Back to the Basics", one of Lana's unreleased.
