Unreleased songs you want Lana to rework/release

[BlueAir 1]

I would love to hear 'Damn You', 'Never Let Me Go', 'Serial Killer' & 'Ghetto Baby' in that kind of epic-dark-orchestral-Born to Die-esque style.

[Leo 463]

My Best Days! The first 1:45 are pure magic, then the song just dies..

Whoa.

Guess you disagree then? Well I'm always in the mood for a good old disagreement, so feel free to elaborate if you've got the energy

 

Let me just point out that I don't mind the ending instrumentation (no idea if that's the correct term) at all, I just think that:

 

1. it ends too abruptly

and

2. it seems like a "shortcut" out of the song, like they lost interest in it and just wanted to finish it off as soon as possible

[mermadness 32]

damn you, for sure.

[Sitar 22,218]

Change the title of this thread, Billy.

 

Gotcha covered, Mo

 

 

I was thinking, I really want Us Against the World to be something that it's just...not. It seems so rough, empty...Maybe re-done in the style of Hundred Dollar Bill or something.

On Our Way

Paris

Backfire

Paradise

You Can Be The Boss

[drewby 9,249]

Live or Die would sound nice retouched

[Monicker 3,035]

You Can Be The Boss

 

Come on, hip hop with a thumb piano? Who in the world does that? And those effected guitar chords that sound like a freaking omnichord and the backwards synth. That is such a great backing track. And her vocals are perfect.

I love it, too. I just think it could use a sonic upgrade. What's the best quality mp3 you have? Mine ain't too hot. Either way I more just meant in a "more people should be aware of this song" way.

Mermaid Motel, Back to tha Basics, My Best Days, and Never Let Me Go.

Some of my favorite unreleaseds!

320. You need it?

 

Mermaid Motel

 

My heart and brain are bleeding.

[Chris Cuomo 3,324]

Maybe a star for nick or pawn shop blues.

It's easily one of the best of AKALG and one of my overall favs.

So what if I would like it to be reworked to see what she'd

do with it...?

It was reworked into Mermaid Hotel but it hasn't leaked

Nothing, i was just being playful. I wouldn't take me too seriously. I love that song (and arrangement, recording, performance, etc.). But, yeah, ultimately i wouldn't say no to anything being rerecorded. I really love the idea of multiple versions of songs, no matter how perfect it already was the first time around.

Pardon?

[Leo 463]

pawn shop blues

You and I would have to if we met right now.

[jazzmasters 158]

Yeah that'd be awesome. I'll PM you my email

I KNOW, I can't wait for that, Little Girls (reworked version), and Smartie

to leak. AKA Lizzy Grant is my favorite of her album because I believe its

lyrics are more telling than BTD and Paradise.

Sorry, I just love that song!

The final version of Mermaid Motel is Mermaid Hotel, no?

What is this about reworked/rerecorded versions of Mermaid Motel, Little Girls, and Smarty? This is news to me. Where are you getting this info from? Are you sure you're not just thinking of alternate registered titles or even possible demos? You're saying you have concrete evidence that after she finished the AKA album she went back and rerecorded those three songs?

A search on ASCAP's repertoire under Lizzy Grant reveals Mermaid Hotel and Mermaid Motel. If they were the same, only 1 would be registered and it would have the same work ID number. The exact same goes for Little Girls/Put Me In A Movie, Smarty/Smartie, and Gas Station/Queen of the Gas Station.

 

Different numbers means they were registered at different time, going off that...the AKA tracks all begin with a 4. All Born to Die tracks begin with an 8 including the reworked tracks off AKA. Therefore, I think that concludes they are not in fact the same.

 

Even the IPI numbers are different for the original companies they were published under.
