Original Album Titles

[Say Yes to Heaven 27,515]

I was thinking just now about the original album titles, and noticed we don't have a thread comprising of them... So here it is

 

LANA DEL RAY

1. Nevada
2. God Bless America

 

BORN TO DIE

1. G. B. A. (God Bless America)
2. The Best of Lana Del Rey
3. The Revenge of Lana Del Rey
4. The World is Ours
5. Do You Luv Me Yet?
6. Born 2 Die

 

ULTRAVIOLENCE

• Lana said Ultraviolence was always the title, but I wonder what the original UV album was called

 

HONEYMOON

1. Music To Watch Boys To

 

LUST FOR LIFE

1. (The Next) Best American Record

ULTRAVIOLENCE

 

1. Black Beauty
2. Melancholia

[Say Yes to Heaven 27,515]

 

ULTRAVIOLENCE

 

1. Black Beauty
2. theres also another one but i can remember exactly. i think it started with an E or something

 

Where did she say Black Beauty was an album title?? 

[expandableclitoris 9,091]

Where did she say Black Beauty was an album title?? 

 

dont know if i'm correct but i remember her saying something like that. even Trash magic (sam) made a cover at that time, i remember that.

ULTRAVIOLENCE

 

1. Black Beauty
2. Melancholia

 

oh yes, I considered Melancholia too but it seemed like she didn't really think of the song as a title track until after reworking it into UV

[Mind Melt 10,095]

Black Beauty was never a confirmed album title

 

Melancholia was just the original version of Ultraviolence the song, it may not have been the album title

[expandableclitoris 9,091]

1. Born 2 Die
2. Lust 4 Life

[Mind Melt 10,095]

also unconfirmed, but i wonder if lost for life was considered for a title at one point or if it has some other meaning

[expandableclitoris 9,091]

also didnt Eclipse said that BAR was never a title track? and it was also renamed into Architecture

[Say Yes to Heaven 27,515]

also unconfirmed, but i wonder if lost for life was considered for a title at one point or if it has some other meaning

I think that was just a lil joke for the post, but that would be a really nice title. I also wonder at what point did Lana truly think of LFL as the title instead of BAR

also didnt Eclipse said that BAR was never a title track? and it was also renamed into Architecture

He never said either. After he learned that BAR was changed, then he said it's not the title. But he never said that it wasnt ever the title at a point

[salvatore 21,769]

omg I love the album name for 'Nevada'

 

i never really thought about it but every song legitimately sounds like Nevada

[DinahLee 6,216]

ugh I swear to god there was an alternative title for ultraviolence that I saw few days ago but I can't remember 

[Beauty King 1,705]

"Music to Watch Boys To" was never confirmed as an album title. She said "I've got an idea for a record called Music to Watch Boys To", but she uses the word "record" interchangeably as a synonym for "song" and "LP album".

[Brooklyn Baby 1,974]

also didnt Eclipse said that BAR was never a title track? and it was also renamed into Architecture

 

I still don't think Architecture was ever a thing, Lana even called it The Next Best American Record in her stream

this thread is going into a black hole i can feel it

[Cloudbusting 5,382]

Yeah I think UV was always UV, but Black Beauty was like the "center" or the "essence" of that album originally, I don't remember where I read that though.

 

 

 

 

BORN TO DIE

1. G. B. A. (God Bless America)
2. The Best of Lana Del Rey
3. The Revenge of Lana Del Rey
4. The World is Ours
5. Do You Luv Me Yet?

 

 

 

Where are these titles from?

I'd like to think that record is more of an album thing for her, I haven't really seen her use record in terms of a song a lot. I think if she was meaning song then she'd say track or just song as to not confuse everyone. Music To Watch Boys To also fits better as an album name than a song name  but thats just my opinion

Yeah I think UV was always UV, but Black Beauty was like the "center" or the "essence" of that album originally, I don't remember where I read that though.

 

 

 

Where are these titles from?

She said it in an interview in November 2011

[Cloudbusting 5,382]

this thread is going into a black hole i can feel it

It's an interesting one though.  Is there one where I can see alternate song titles?

[Beauty King 1,705]

I think if she was meaning song then she'd say track or just song as to not confuse everyone.

 

 

I think you're giving her a little too much credit. This is the same woman who said "I wish I was dead already" to a journalist and then expected him not to print it. I don't think she was thinking much before words came out of her mouth, around that time.

Possibly Trans-Am for Ultraviolence, it was written in one of her notes
