ngl i thought about putting something like this in my original post bc it's simply the truth

I honestly don't get the hate for the PD version. It's one of Lana's best tracks imo. The atmosphere is unmatched. A vintage slutty depressing near death experience black motorcycle tunnel light champagne post nut clarity jazz masterpiece.

it's just a hollow shell of the aka version, in my opinion, and i don't think yayo is meant to be glamorous & luxurious, i think it best suits the seedy, vulnerable, & gloomy trailer park vibes, but that's just how i feel!

[Neon Palmmm]

1. PD version
2. AKA version
3. Laptop demo

4. Rich Whores rehearsal
5. NKF version

I like this interpretation. AKA is the 80s trailer park Christmas lights unmade bed heroin version and Paradise is the millionaire cocaine red wine necrophilia suicide one

dont get me wrong i love the aka version, i think it's the vocals that sell it.. yeah but yayo paradise version is superior.  mhm.  the broken piano, the breathing sound looped throughout and the horror movie strings omg perfection. only unnecessary part is the stupid loon. when you listen to the instrumental you can really grasp how it sells the story. when everything strips back and it's just the piano during the bridge i get chills. that is like what isolation and hopelessness feels like. 

[Veinsineon]

What do y’all consider the YouTube channel version? That’s my fav and thats how ive always known it 

 

[Trash Magic]

This is actually my favourite

 

total magic

[White Hot]

I know most people shit on it but the Paradise version is really special I think it's my favorite.

[takeitdoen]

They're all good . . .

1. AKA ("Dark NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT")

2. No Kung Fu

3. Paradise

4. Rich Whores (bordering on hard to listen to, but slaps) 

5. Laptop demo (considering the quality)

This is the version I've been listening for many years as well and it has to be my favorite . Also I love the picture they chose

One of her best songs. It encapsulates so well that specific period of her life
