The mixing is amazing but i feel like it doesnt go as well with the melody when she starts singing.

[@costcofreezers]

lana’s demos are unworldly 😭 so damn good

[@edwardmartin2262]

The demo had a bit of a late 60s vibe! While the album version sounded modern and somber. I like both versions, but i prefer this one.

[@igorantunescoutinho6867]

Nossa, fico feliz que alguém tenha a mesma opinião que eu. As duas são perfeitas ao mesmo tempo em que são diferentes.

[@phanielopes]

This version is too much of a pastiche. I think the album versions less corny/on the nose

[@rifkirismalhuda098]

Me to bro

[@yusufakdemir5636]

i miss this thunder, produced by last shadow puppets, british-rock vibes

[@aleksandram981]

Lana scrapped all the work from them as I think she was at a period where there was going to be a big shift for her. I think she was ready to leave behind the huge, massive production, start walking away from the 20 something year old seductive vintage look with siren vocals layered and had a comfortable view of who she was and was really starting to find herself. I mean as soon as this was scrapped a few months later she started on NFR and look at the huge change! As each album comes out she distances herself from her old image more and more.

[@shabunishebuni9499]

I guess Lana really wants to capture the essence or the theme of the song which is sadness and for me the released track really did a great job on making the song more emotional and really meaningful

[@ldrlover3]

This version has Alex Turner written all over it😭😍🔥

[@JesusGomez-ob2qt]

Funny because Alex wasn't even in the studio during the recording session of thunder lol. He was there for California and the others though

[@dammnyou]

As far as I know, the music for this version was written by the session musicians of Alex Turner and Miles Kane's band The Last Shadow Puppets. It explains why it resembles Alex's music so much.

[@JesusGomez-ob2qt]

@@dammnyou that's true for the session as a whole but Alex wasn't present during the making of thunder or during the creation of dealer.

[@dammnyou]

@@JesusGomez-ob2qt yes, i know. I didn't say that Alex was involved in writing Thunder or that he was in the studio with Lana. I just mentioned TLSP session musicians who were part of the process and that is the reason why Thunder in particular sounds so much like something that Alex could have written :)

[@JesusGomez-ob2qt]

@@dammnyou no I was talking about like him as in playing instruments, they didn't help lana write lyrics with any the songs except for dealer ofc. During the exact session thunder was made Alex wasn't there to play

[@amirleo2051]

[@hilmir]

There is something so bittersweet about this version, because it is obviously a sad song but making it groovy and melodic makes it more tragic and also like a lullaby that she used to makes herself be okay.

[@andreasaccardi5109]

I don't know I think this is cool but the sad version is so sad and melancholic and I just love it

[@conniehemmings3170]

I love this version so much especially the intro…. Feels so magical

[@Cinnamongirl4life]

ofc love the studio but this version just hits diff. i remember when i first found it. it was summer i was spending days in the sun by the waterfront and smoking obscene amounts at night so i woke up at noon with a sore throat. i had this childish crush with some dipshit who smoked way too much and made me laugh. when my moods changed and i’d get mad at him i’d listen to this. i’d go to the river with friends and make bonfires. i learned how to ride a bike and made bracelets for everybody i loved and started collecting hoards of rocks id paint and leave under bushes. i began to buy crystals and read tarot cards. i remember this every time i hear this song. it’s bittersweet 🍬

lyrics:
You roll like thunder
When you come crashin' in
Town ain't been the same
Since you left with all your friends
You roll like thunder
When you come crashing in
Regattas in the wind
That's why you're visiting
You act like fucking Mr. Brightside
When you're with all your friends
But I know what you're like
When the party ends
Just do it
Just do it, don't wait
Just do it
Just do it, don't wait
You roll like thunder
Pourin' all your drinks
The party's lit and you, my friend
Half-cut when it begins
You roll like thunder
You're tryna catch that wind
That lightning in the bottle
That moonbeam in your hand
And you try to see the bright side
When each new day begins
But you're not satisfied
At the rainbow's end
Just do it
Just do it, don't wait
I don't wanna wait
Just do it
Just do it, don't wait
'Cause if you're on fire, you're on fire (just do it)
Just keep burnin', till rain (just do it, don't wait)
Baby, keep me ablaze
Honey, if you're on fire, you're on fire (just do it)
Just keep burning, keep me alive (just do it, don't wait)
Spare your blade
Just do it
Just do it, don't wait
If hello just means goodbye then, honey, better walk away
Just do it
Just do it, don't wait
If hello just means goodbye then, baby, better walk away
Just do it
Just do it, don't wait
'Cause I don't wanna wait
Just do it
Just do it, don't wait
(Just do it)
(Just do it, don't wait)
If you're on fire
(Just do it) you're on fire
You should just keep burning (just do it, don't wait)
(Just do it)
(Just do it, don't wait)

[@ambika1379]

the original compared to the demo has quieter instrumentals that don't overpower her voice. although this version is way catchier

[@aleksandram981]

Yes and I think that’s the reason why she decided to leave behind the huge production. What happened was after LFL she was in sessions with the last shadow puppets and they made tons of songs together with the huge production and then she randomly pulled the pin on it and started on NFR which is way different and that’s when the production started to be stripped back. She’s evolving as she matures into her late 30’s. I guess she wasn’t really into this dramatic, huge production anymore and just wanted to tone it down. Proof is with water color eyes. There’s a euphoria version and then the single she put out. The euphoria version has much stronger instrumental but she ditched it for a more simple direction instrumental wise. I think the next album will be even more stripped back.

[@user-qf5kl6cv2y]

​@@aleksandram981Did You Know That There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Boulevard is both, stripped back, but has tracks with loads of production (E.g for stripped back: Margaret, Kintsugi, Fingertips, Candy Necklace, Title Track (Did you know that there's a tunnel under ocean boulevard), The Grants (Kind of a mix of both). E.g for lots: A&W (Though there are 2 halves, 1 with stripped back production and the other with a lot of it), Fishtail, Taco Truck x VB, Peppers, both interludes and perhaps Grandfather Please Stand on the Shoulders of my Father while he's Deep-Sea Fishing (though it is like a mixture of both)

[@Angel-ts8rc]

[@heikkuturkia]

No

[@maryli2049]

so did I

[@grace_from_dogville]

It's almost similar. But still, the album version is better.

[@aleksandram981]

2 different Lana’s. This was recorded at a much different time in her life. Her production was still huge when this was recorded and she was still stick thin and suffering from an eating disorder oh and she also was dealing with a crippling opioid addiction although she has remained sober from alcohol for a very long time. Now she’s in her late 30’s, has a new producer who has gave her a more mature stripped back production, has kicked the addiction, has kicked the eating disorder and is more comfortable in herself and the decisions she makes. She seemed her most unsure during lfl when she ruined beautiful songs by having many producers on some as she clearly was second guessing her own work. She also sings differently these days also. (And when I say COMPLETELY different I MEAN it, I think some songs are more so for the fans on her newer crafts and she still samples her old production at times but her old production never comes first) for example dealer may be a personal song mixed with the influence of her past persona many stans still love. I think she’s really happy these days and really looks it so for her to say “I don’t wanna live” is strange to me when she’s a very honest woman when it comes to that side of thing so I’m sure she’d be more vocal about her depression if it was like that. She seems happy and free! Performing at country fairs as a nobody with her friends, going to carnivals, healthy weight, ditched her Hollywood glamour image which I think was more so her trying to “fit in” in the best way she could with an artistic spin as she’s noted in earlier interviews she never fit in. I think it stems from that.

[@sashagarcia8932]

both are truly masterpieces. I can't put one on top of the other. I say it because of the instrumental, the elements that make it up

[@alanstuart2942]
