Lana Del Rey - God Knows I Tried (Demo)

[@johnkim2822]

This is a masterpiece. Imagining how much more dramatic the album could’ve been is arousing. Honeymoon will forever be Lana’s greatest masterpiece

[@OfficialDarkSoulMusic]

More dramatic? Not possible. Honeymoon is already flawless and I don’t know if she’ll ever be able to top it

[@battl6724]

​@@OfficialDarkSoulMusicLust for life is way better than honeymoon

God Knows I Tried (Demo) Lyrics
[Intro]
Hmmm-mm
Hmmm-mm
[Verse 1]
Sometimes, I wake up in the morning
To red, blue, and yellow skies
It's so crazy, I could drink it like tequila sunrise
Put on that Hotel California
Dance around like I'm insane
I feel free when I see no one
And nobody knows my name
[Chorus]
God knows I lived, God knows I died
God knows I begged
Begged, borrowed, and cried
God knows I loved, God knows I lied
God knows I lost, God gave me life
And God knows I tried
God knows I tried, God knows I tried, God knows I tried
[Verse 2]
Sometimes, I wake up in the morning
To red, blue, and yellow lights
On Monday, they destroyed me
But by Friday, I'm revived
Put on that Hotel California
Wear my blinders in the rain
I've got nothing much to live for
Ever since I found my fame
[Chorus]
God knows I lived, God knows I died
God knows I loved, God knows I lied
God knows I begged
Begged, borrowed, and cried
God knows I lost, God gave me life
And God knows I tried
God knows I tried, God knows I tried, God knows I tried
[Bridge]
So let there be light
Let there be light
Light up my life, light up my life
Let there be light, let there be light
Light up my life, light up my life
[Outro]
God knows I tried, God knows I tried, God knows I tried
God knows I tried, God knows I tried, God knows I tried
God knows I tried, God knows I tried

THIS IS SO GOOD WHATT

[@Trisha_23]

I really love this version

[@mermanMotel]

HOW?! am I just now finding this...

[@PrOpoRa8r1Br0]

I like this, but keeping just the guitar and Lana's vocals on the original track was the right decision

[@davidcarr9772]

This is way better

[@neuwah]

it wasn’t.

[@MMll167]

I have to disagree

[@RitaMidwest]

hell yes.

[@RitaMidwest]

personally, I feel the whole second verse should have had some kind of beat but its still amazing

[@littlebrainlittleheart]

Omg same

[@thepianopeep2227]

this but slower would be the best version

[@nightowlbrandon2728]

im turning up

[@juanpablohenao7619]

I LOVEEEE IT but the original is better 💕💕

[@aclosedperson]

This version is much better. It's unfortunate that she chose a different version on the album (

[@TrippyUnderMoonlight]

Has someone a source that this is really a demo made by Lana and not just fanmade?

[@CarmenNevada]

Honeymoon has several demos (God Knows, The Blackest Day and Freak Like Me) produced by someone named Stint who had also remixed West Coast (it was officially released by Lana's label. This is one of those demos, and if you listen to Freak Like Me (I'm sure it's on RUclips) you can hear there's a completely new bridge that was never heard before. That one also has a similar live drum/percussion throughout done by Stint.

[@livai_lpb8952]

it's better.

[@EvanHill01]

This version is so much better than the released one

[@Watcharin_N]

The released version is better
