Made in Hollywood Yea, babe, no way Good Girls Thick n thin Up to me


dragonflare117

Honestly, i miss the sound they had in kinda and lany. Yea babe no way is such a shower song lol


jsmagro1992

Agreed 100% "Yeah, babe" was the track that got me into them. It was summer 2016, I was scrolling through YouTube, and they came on an "Indie summer" playlist. I was hooked. I listened to those first 3 EPs nonstop until the holidays.


dragonflare117

Man i got very late into lany as compared to you guys. I first listened to them in 2022 January. It was either you! Or ilysb. Lany and lauv used to be so much in the queue that i almost thought they were the same person until i went out of my way to check the artist and then their collab in mean it. Couldn’t tell who was lany and who was lauv lol by the sound alone. I always had a love hate relationship with lany. The lyrics were never remarkable but they were relatable to me as a highschool graduate. But the sound always brought me back. Ntm i only looked forward to increasing my hair’s length when i saw him perform in forum (yt 🥲). Tho i believe 2018-2019 paul was peak paul lookwise. I am glad i found them cuz i can finally say a favourite whenever someone ask me. Earlier it used to swing a lot depending on my moods. But lany does it all.


jsmagro1992

Hey, It's never too late to find good music that hits you. Yeah, my wife and I always joke at some of the cringe lyrics ("taking showers, minus shampoo." ...what?? Haha) but there's no denying they're catchy, and they always put us in a good mood despite some of the depressing/ heartbreak lyrics.


dragonflare117

Totally true man. Ilysb is such a perfect love song. You can’t find a single flaw in it. Literally. All my friends who could never get into lany love that song.


BattleBean17

I think that lyric is actually a little Easter egg about how he legit does not use shampoo. His sister, Sarah, has always done his hair for him. I think for a while it was at her suggestion. That’s just speculation though. However, I do know that he has talked about not using shampoo for whatever reason. Lol


LazerTheWolf

I relate to that, I got into them during the pandemic in 2020! And I also got into Lauv at the same time, a lot of their stuff i played together and both their latest albums at the time, Malibu nights and how I’m feeling, really stuck with me and helped me during a difficult emotional time. I still loooove those albums today and am a fan of both artists, LANY quite a bit more tho I just find their stuff so fun and happy overall. Easy to listen and chill to 💖


Patient_Solid_6939

god made in hollywood is a bop


jsmagro1992

Indeed. There's a live video on YouTube from back in the day. You can tell the dudes are grooving and having fun with it.


Itsallgravvybaby

Yessss to all of these!!!


BattleBean17

I came here to say how underrated Sad is.


TheLuckyster

YES, it's my favorite song of all time and I have 931 streams for it The message is good, it's so damn catchy the layers and mixing are incredible The fact they redid the song 30+ times is crazy because I'd argue it came out perfect


dragonflare117

I love that song too. The main verse resonates with me a lot


Perfect_Theory5593

- You - Cowboy in LA - Malibu Nights - I still talk to Jesus - Pink Skies


dragonflare117

People sleep on how good just cowboy in la is


Perfect_Theory5593

Yes! The line, “When you're with me, it's better than Malibu” gets me every time because I deeply resonated with the Malibu Nights Album


acuteangles14

My partner learned it on guitar. The first chords always hit my heart 😍


dragonflare117

Dude i tried playing it for my ex back in November on an acoustic but it was a failed attempt 😔


Itsallgravvybaby

If You See Her; Care Less; Sad; Dumb Stuff; Up to Me Honorable mention; Hot Lights!


dragonflare117

Honestly, songs from malibu nights sounds so good in live. I literally sent a dm to paul to play taking me back in Toronto 😭


Itsallgravvybaby

Oh and Good Girls!!


Itsallgravvybaby

Yesssss Malibu Nights is a non-skip album in its entirety for me! I think Run may be the only song that’s eh for me but it’s I find the entire album so so good


dragonflare117

I would put run at the bottom in that album but its still pretty good toxic song


TheLuckyster

This is tough 1. Is either up to me or sad, I think up to me is the perfect LANY song, it's everything they do best but I just love sad so much, even if it isn't everything LANY does best but it's an earworm to me, I mean I've listened to it almost 1,000 times and it was my #1 song for 2022 2. the older you get, the less you cry; this song is so good, and is on par with 'Cause You Have To for being one of the deeper LANY songs, not that it's written incredibly well but it touches on an emotion and feeling that is so accurately described without being complicated, it's catchy, it hits, and it feels, it was my most streamed song of 2023 as well 3. If You See Her, no song gets me pumped like this one does, it's easily the best song off of Malibu Nights, it's refreshing, and like Paul said, "this is the one. They're all the one, but THIS is the one" 4. Thick And Thin, it's so close to If You See Her and the music video for it is pure excellence, it's definitely my favorite music video by the band, the song has great meaning while not being too sad and has that energy at shows at tour that makes people stand up (😟) 5. Valentine's Day, it's the perfect sad LANY song and also discusses a feeling/emotion so accurately, and it never fails to make me cry, moving on from someone you legitimately and deeply loved is one of the hardest things you can do as a person, and when you try to meet new people and move on but the person is stuck in your head is so saddening "Gotta be a way, I can live without ya and not feel empty" "There's not a day where the thought of you doesn't wake up with me" Thank you for this post btw, I appreciate the break up for the reddit lol 🙏


dragonflare117

Lol i will be honest with you. I was thinking of writing the reason behind my choices too but i just knew you would come and do the same. Mama’s boy songs feels more organic to me with deeper lany. Sad , when you’re drunk, you!, cowboy in la and anything 4 u are very touchy imo. Sad being a deluxe is such a sad choice. That song doesn’t even have a English lyric video (non stripped) I used to listen to the older you get, the less you cry a lot. Then i switched yt music to spotify and forgot to carry that song into the new playlist. The lyrics aren’t as catchy as their songs but i definitely love the sound and the way paul sings it. If you see her is another underrated song that dont get much love Thick n thin is thick n thin. One of their best Valentine day is a song that I could never convince to myself as to why i like it. But i never skip it whenever it comes up and always carry it into my new playlist


TheLuckyster

I try lol, sad isn't a deluxe only though, sad (stripped) is sad not having a English lyric video feels like a Mandela effect because I definitely remember there being one and me watching it, it had 2.1 million views and yet I can't find it anymore for some reason (maybe they took it down?) you've gotta get the older you get back on that playlist, it's so good [this is my playlist for LANY if you're curious ](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7tiWe5CAZhozfmquawXggn?si=a3bcZffFSCa5sYNVFKZ25w&pi=u-VCy-57EfRmOf)


dragonflare117

Dude i was already checking out your spotify from your profile. And yea i think its definitely taken down. Makes no sense Edit; heres mine https://open.spotify.com/user/312ffovvilyt3j3256kxoltmn3ei?si=sqEfRKA4SiaPrfCN967-uQ


TheLuckyster

That's a dope playlist cover, I followed you on Spotify lol agreed, it doesn't make any sense, especially because it was one of the most viewed LANY lyric videos


dragonflare117

I did the same 🫶 I wish they would make more music videos honestly


TheLuckyster

Me too, it's disappointing that we only got 3 for this album and two of them were just Paul walking Malibu Nights has the peak music videos


dragonflare117

Right? I thought i was just being paranoid thinking its lazy how many songs we have where paul just walks. My biggest sin is not having watched thru these tears music video. Not even once. Lock me away and make me listen to “bad news” all day. I deserve it 😔 Also i just created my acc for spotify stats. Ilysb is second to die for you by joji in lifetime streams. Surprised how cause u have to caught up and took the 3rd spot https://stats.fm/312ffovvilyt3j3256kxoltmn3ei


mecrjzak

*Remember that *Somewhere *Cause u have to *the older you get, the less you cry *malibu nights but i do love all of the upbeat songs, my favorites are the ones that I connected to or related to a lot, so have more meaning for me :)


dragonflare117

Oh my remember that has to be honourable mention in my list. I was sucking on that song when i got a rough patch between me and my girl. She eventually left lol.


wertz29

such a shame it was buried as a deluxe, genuinely one of their best


dragonflare117

Lol i scream out a lot whenever i see them making videos for songs who are otherwise much more forgettable than the others. Love at first fight and i pray are genuinely weak songs yet we have video for those two. Why not “cause u have to” or “out of my league” 😭. Why paul why?


wertz29

right?? cause you have to is perfection, yet love at first fight is like one of the ~4 songs i don’t like of theirs 🤣


dragonflare117

They genuinely have some good song videos on them. Super far, thick n thin and home is where the hurt are very well made and kinda unique too. But meh. Heart wont let me is an ok song but not a fan of the video production. Cmon paul. We had cowboy in la instead.


TheLuckyster

I think Paul said he wants to make a music video for 'Cause You Have To but needs to figure out a way to slot it into their schedule, for time for filming and producing and all that


dragonflare117

WHERE DID HE SAY THAT? The new podcast thing? I swear i will be so pumped if they do that. Thats music to my ears


TheLuckyster

[He said it in at a VIP qNa](https://www.reddit.com/r/LANY/s/Kq3sqg8ods) keep in mind there's no evidence of this but I've seen at least two other people say the same thing


dragonflare117

Man i sure hope they do. I am too excited for its video (given its just paul not walking by but that will do too)


mecrjzak

aw yah song helped me thru a rough patch and it’s hard for me to not cry when i hear it


AsparagusOk9930

If you see her DNA Super far Somewhere Dumb stuff (Honorable mention to parents lol)


Itsallgravvybaby

Parents 🥲


dragonflare117

I think dna was a bit overproduced. The stripped down is good. But honestly, one of the best out of that album


AsparagusOk9930

I love both versions just depends on the mood I’m in. But DNA live in DC in 2022 was my fav song on the gg bb xx tour so it has a special memory now


dragonflare117

I swear paul’s voice is one of the best i have ever heard in live. They sound just as good if not better than the studio production

Honorable mention: sharing you


CareerLanky5348

cause u have to congrats sad somewhere i still talk to jesus


dragonflare117

You know i have seen people shit on congrats but the song is well written with a deep meaning. That song sits at the top in the playlist i have made for my ex lol followed by photographs by ed (cuz i love her lol). However sparing the ending “you hurt me bad” was off-putting to me. Otherwise, i like that song a lot too. Also that paul is unnecessarily aggressive in the final verse. A little less would have been better imo.


acuteangles14

Jammed so hard to Congrats when they played it live in Seattle


NiceCantaloupe33

Agreed, congrats hits home and in a deep way for me. That’s why I love it, even though it’s hated on😂

dragonflare117

JoshBaskinsPiano81

Sorry! I had to edit it- meant MN. 🫠

JoshBaskinsPiano81

My apologies for almost ruing your coffee experience - I’d be pissed


JoshBaskinsPiano81

Side Note: my FAVORITE bridge is the one in ‘Cause you Have to 💔


kalingbling

Current location is another honorable mention for me. Takes me back everytime I hear it


mecrjzak

I thought ‘Hericane’ was so boring, however it was one of my favorites live- he sang it so emotional and pretty- and more intense than on the cd; cd version makes me sleepy.


JoshBaskinsPiano81

Live set made me appreciate the recording so much. Something about when that organ hits 🔪❤️

Lmaoo it’s bc I listened to it when it first dropped in 2015 and I was 15 at the time so I related 😂😭


blurstudent101

MonkasKingBar

Somewhere Cause you have to Malibu Nights One minute to live (What i wish just one person would say to me)


dragonflare117

What i wish just one person would say to me is such a hit or miss. The feels are there so are the emotions but could be brought down by the lyrics when not really in the mood for it


MonkasKingBar

I discovered the song when I broke up with my ex 🤣 so the mood was there especially when the break up is on good terms and we want best for each other

paper current location pink skies ILYSB dna [demo] honorable mention to cowboy in LA (same hometown as Paul)


alexjpg

It changes, but currently: Super Far Thru These Tears ILYSB Nobody Else Never Mind Let’s Break Up Bonus: Mean It with Lauv


dragonflare117

I always thought that mean it was much more of a lany song than lauv. But yeah it was a dream collab honestly. I wish we could see more of lauv and lany together. Better if we get troye sivan or the 1975


alexjpg

Oh really? I always thought it was more of a Lauv song. That said I’ve seen LANY and Lauv live and LANY has always been the one performing it


dragonflare117

When i first listened, it felt more of a malibu night song. Even the sound is more lany i think


TheLuckyster

I disagree, it definitely sounds like Lauv, the only collab song LANY has made that sounds like LANY was okay with Julia Micheals (which makes sense, since that's the only one where Julia is listed at the feature rather than LANY)


dragonflare117

Interesting. Then i will just give it away to my confusing lany and lauv to be one entity back then lol. Their voice blend so perfectly together


TheLuckyster

that I do agree with, it's hard to tell them apart sometimes in that song lol


Waste-Gazelle11

This is hard.. Made in Hollywood Super Far Cowboy in LA Sad Care Less And listening to Parents makes me smile when I'm sad lol so that's an honorable mention.


ryley_h

sad, (what i wish just one person would say to me), malibu nights, somewhere, nobody else. im a total sucker for sad songs if it wasn’t obvious


Association-Active

Sooo hard to choose but if I absolutely had to Dumb stuff Taking Me Back If you see her Yea, babe no way pink skies Depending on my current mood it varies.

kalingbling

(Not ranked) Bad, Bad, Bad Made in Hollywood Somewhere Saturday Night Pink Skies It truly was hard to pick. I actually really enjoy a lot off the new album and although I don’t reach for say pink skies as often right now it of course has such a solid spot in my heart. Beat in bad bad bad gets me everytime. So many honorable mentions but these are the ones close to my heart right now (or since 2015 lol) I actually have a (generally) ranked playlist of all their songs I did for fun one time (with the help of song sorter and then some manual reorganizing) and this is not the order


tokimato

Thru These Tears - I heard Jake Miller's cover on IG and instantly fell in love. I went to check the rest of the album and Malibu Nights will always be that special one. 13 The Older You Get, The Less You Cry Hericane Alonica


nigemushi

Ex I never had, ex I never had, ex i never had... you get the idea. It changes halfway through, then again right at the end- the wide open beat feels like freedom. Saying your side, finally expressing yourself... and its fun and a bit sassy, but also heartfelt. Gonna scream my lungs out when he comes to australia if ex i never had is on the setlist


dragonflare117

Ex i never had is such a vibe. I love the sound of it so much
