What it was like, what happened, what’s it like now?

If you were to make a Lana album out of this concept, using her entire discography, what would it look like?

 

I’m imagining a 12 track album with each section representing a different point in time that shows Lana’s journey from the beginning to now. Using her lyrics and the stories she tells, how would you lay them out to be like a timeline in album form?

What it was like:

1: Boarding School

2: This Is What Makes Us Girls/Driving in Cars with Boys

3: Queen of the Gas Station

4: Ride

 

What happened:

5: In the Land of Gods and Monsters

6: Dealer

7: Ultraviolence

8: Fine China

 

What it’s like now:

9: 13 Beaches

10: Chemtrails over the Country Club

11: Violets for Roses

12: Sweet Carolina

 

I’m curious to see how you guys might interpret this! Share your album tracklist below

 

(This was actually harder than I thought)

(I don't like my track list, I'll have to try it again another day)

i love this! was just listening to 'driving in cars with boys' and these lyrics fit the concept so well: 

 

used to talk about where we'd be and where we'd go / now we know, baby, now we know

This is an awesome idea! Definitely going to work on this later.
