Unreleased songs you want Lana to rework/release

[Hundred Dollar Bill 21,460]

We've all got our favorite unreleased Lana songs, but I've noticed that not many people talk about wanting her to rework them. It's been on my mind more a lot lately since she redid Yayo, and I kind of subconsciously expect her to do more because my favorite band has been releasing a few remastered versions of old demos with their new official releases over the past few years. Lana has also talked about wanting to rework Kill Kill and Mermaid Motel because they're her favorite songs (most personal?) from AKA and she didn't like the way the production turned out. So why haven't we made a thread for this already?!? Let's discuss it guys! What songs would you like to hear remastered the most (don't say all of them ) and why? Personally, I'd love to hear You're Gonna Love Me and Mermaid Motel remastered. I also want to hear the BTD version of Hundred Dollar Bill if it exists, since it was on the original tracklist.

hundred dollar bill definitely, come when you call me america & playing dangerous.

[teethclick 895]

Remaster and redo isn't the same though, is it?

Anyways, Mermaid Motel, Driving In Cars With Boys aaaand maybe Disco.

[Baby V Alex 2,858]

Summer of Sam

Hit & Run

Go Go Dancer

Damn You

remaster ≠ rerecording ≠ remaster

 

I'm surprised that you, of all people, Bill, would perpetuate this.

 

The sequence and all of its individual components:

 

-compose

-arrange (could be done by someone other than the writer and/or producer)

-engineer (record)

-produce (although this happens simultaneously with the previous step, and sometimes with the next step as well)

-mix (sometimes there's a mix engineer outside of the session engineer)

-master (done by mastering engineer; seldom done by engineer of the recording)

-remaster (if need be, and typically done many years after the original mastering; also, if something was never mastered [as is the case with most demos] then it can't be remastered)

 

To (somewhat) answer the original question: I'd like to hear AKA and Paradise remixed. Also, a few parts of Paradise rerecorded, as well as a few changes being made to the arrangements. Never going to happen.

Driving in Cars, Live or Die & Velvet Crowbar

I actually couldn't remember the right term, so I used a bunch of different words ha. I was hoping you'd come in here and shed some light on it though!

[YUNGATA 14,944]

Rerecord an acoustic version of Live or Die aw yis.

[Just Cherry 3,717]

Pawn Shop Blues,

Jump,

Out With A Bang,

Trash Magic.

 

For some reason, I feel like a BTD version of Butterflies would be stunningly amazing, along with a BTD version of On Our Way.

[Monicker 3,030]

Trash Magic.

 

Hell no. The mood captured in that recording is so, so perfect and tantalizing. That song is done, finito, close the book on it, it's as good as it could ever be recorded and performed. That's the song (and recording) that i think really made me fall in love with our Lizzy. When i heard that i knew i was going down a rabbit hole and that it was a done deal.

Of course, don't get me wrong, I do love it, but I think she could do something interesting with it if she ever tried to.

[Honey 43]

agree about You're Gonna Love Me! though I'd probably be just as happy to have a complete version of the demo, it's so lovely as is. also would like to hear Dum Dum rerecorded.

[Madrigal 2,612]

would like to hear Dum Dum rerecorded.

I agree! Though we do have three versions, which is more than we could've even hoped for a year ago, all of them still feel very unfinished to my ears. It's a great song, and I think it has more potential than the vast majority of other leaks. :3

[YouMakeMeWild 161]

She's Not Me, Come When You Call Me America and Daddy Issues.

 

I've always really liked She's Not Me but the chorus ruins the song. If only the chorus was different.

Totally agree about the chorus

 

It's way to overpowering and loud eeek

[JhnMabius 175]

Hundred Dollar Bill could be so epic, and it makes me sad that it kinda fits perfectly in Born To Die or Paradise, I hope she puts it into her next album but probably she has better songs, if she does it she should keep that dark, creepy but fun National Anthem feel, otherwise I think it wouldn't be so epic.

 

Also You're gonna love me, she sounds like a cute in the chorus.

[DOPE 33]

Ooh Baby and Summer of Sam definitely.

Both had some potential but were put under terrible production that made me think she didn't give two fucks about the songs.

[PrettyBaby 2,213]

I wish she'd redo Afraid. I love the lyrics but I don't know what's going on with that instrumental.
