Not sure if this thread is still about discussing Honeymoon, but I met Emile today after he did a little talk at an Apple Store in Soho about his music and life and process-- he didn't talk much about Lana, but he talked about how when they work sometimes he'd play her a little chord or something he really liked and she would say "That fucking sucks" in her giggly Lana way, but he said that it really pushes him and how they work and argue all the time and it's what makes the music really great. When I met him after I asked him to sign my vinyl & my friend and I asked if he was working on Honeymoon and he said yes! Not sure if that means currently working on or worked on-- so don't make the statement more than what it is.

can u imagine if that was an actual track.. or just 'Rave'... ft. lyrics like "Lana del rave" incorporated.. this sounds like the potential for an actual bop.. my heart hurts knowing this isn't going to happen omg

If she doesn't come back to Europe anytime soon I'm gonna cry

i don't understand how people can still think the honeymoon account can be fake.... like... it's a rare username, too. obviously her label bought the name off Instagram/asked for it so that they could use it to promote the new era.
think: what are the chances that someone had the username "/Honeymoon" and just so happened to be a big Lana fan and decided to use the account to fuck with the fanbase and ended up getting followed by Lana herself? honestly

why are people so quick to shoot down fan theories and stuff like damn... chill. @ everyone stop taking everything so seriously, it's just harmless fun. it's like you're all just purposely trying to start drama. 
to be fair though what else can i expect on a forum filled with gay teen twinks

I knew Glass Doll seemed familiar..
 
 
 
I'm so glad Lana's doing a Nicki Minaj cover of The Crying Game

I recall reading on this forum that there is a title track for Paradise, but it's unreleased and unleaked (the Paradise we have is apparently older).
 
Also I can't believe I missed the fun  Small Ears and Ugly When You Smile...

I tried to ignite productive conversation. I really did. 

This week, Lana Del Rey's first major release, Born to Die, turns 3. Definitely the fans' favorite era, the album was promoted with eight singles, a big amount of beautiful videos that went incredibly viral on Tumblr, two tours, interviews, a re-release/EP, a short film and more. The album sold more than 5 million copies and it's still charting all around the world. It was met with mixed reviews from critics, but half of them were paying attention to Del Rey's personal life instead of the album itself. Now that we're in 2015, Born to Die is among Billboard's best albums of the decade (so far) and it is waiting for more magazines and half-decade lists to praise it just like it deserves.   "Born to Die", the album's second single is the perfect opener – sonically and thematically. You can hear the beautiful violins and loud trip hop beats while she's singing about a young girl fantasizing and trying to survive in a world of dangerous, drug addict men. The song peaked at No. 9 in the UK and its iconic video was an internet sensation. The first promo single and fan-favorite "Off to the Races" is a masterpiece in terms of production and lyrics. While the title track is slow and depressive, "Off to the Races" is a violent alt-hip hop song about an "old bad man" and her sick relationship with him. The lyrics are more than romantic or sexual – they express how maddening love can be. The story-teller "Blue Jeans" features one of the most interesting lyrics from the album. This aggressive trip hop/soft rock song was released as the third single, accompanied by two videos. The first one is a home-made vintage film while the second is a beautifully directed, black and white work of art with a deep meaning. "Blue Jeans" became a Top 40 hit in some Europe countries and it is, without a doubt, one of Lana's most memorable songs/videos. We need to take a moment to think about the perfection of "Video Games", the album's lead single. The mystery behind it and its iconic video. The Top 10 hit was the beginning of a worldwide star, the creation of something important. It was just a simple yet intriguing video, but the whole Internet was talking about it. The majestic melody, romantic lyrics and powerful chorus make "Video Games" her best ballad. Going back to the trip hop/alternative hip hop sound, "Diet Mountain Dew" is a sexy retro song about a pretty girl wondering if her love for this bad man will last forever. The fifth single, "National Anthem", was a commercial failure due its lack of airplay and performances. Its lyrics are clever and open to a big amount of interpretations. In the controversial, high-budget video, Lana plays Marilyn Monroe and Jacqueline Kennedy, while American rapper ASAP Rocky is JFK. It was named one of the best music videos of the decade. "Dark Paradise" was released as the sixth single in order to promote the album, its re-release and the Paradise Tour. Just like the rest of the album, "Dark Paradise" has a very melancholic and dramatic melody. Its music video never saw the light of the day. "Radio" is probably the only optimistic song on Born to Die. The lyrics discusses themes such as hard-working, fame and overcoming. With "Carmen", the second promo single, the album goes back to its dark sound – but this one is definitely the darkest. Del Rey sings about this 17-year old girl Carmen that everybody loves with soft and gloomy trip hop beats in the background. "You said I was the most exotic flower," is the opening line of the jazzy "Million Dollar Man". The fans love when Lana performs this song live – it's an even jazzier version and her vocals are almost always on point (and sometimes they're just funny). The worldwide hit, "Summertime Sadness" is the eleventh song on Born to Die, and the second co-written by the amazing Rick Nowels. The indie pop/trip hop/shoegazing ballad was a hit in Europe in 2012 – it reached the No. 1 spot in Poland and became the 21st best-selling single in the UK that year. In 2013, French DJ Cedric Gervais had his breakthrough with his first single; a Grammy-winning progressive house remix of Lana's "Summertime Sadness". Both the original version and the remix were Top 10 hits in North America, Oceania, South America and Europe. The last song on the standard edition of Born to Die is the rebellious "This Is What Makes Us Girls". The outro of the song is just an epic way to end this incredible album. The deluxe version includes the ballads "Without You" and "Lucky Ones" and the sexy "Lolita".

I still remember the morning it came out. I downloaded it on iTunes (I bought the physical copy later, I always buy the cheaper digital version when it comes to an album that I'm not sure how much I'll like it) while getting ready for school. Like most students, I wasn't exactly keen on the classes ahead of me. After getting ready there were about 5 minutes left until I had to leave the house so I decided to listen to just the first song off the album, nothing more. I instantly fell in love when I heard the strings, then the beat and finally her voice. I couldn't wait to leave school that day!
 
 
Now that some people mentioned it, I remember that when I heard / saw her the first time with Video Games I really did not like her. I'm glad I didn't trust that first impression

Ok, now STFU. Thanks

Can we all stop throwing around stan/fan/real fan/fake fan accusations every time someone makes a point you don't agree with? Think people need to get off their high horses. What gives anyone the right to declare someone else's fan status for them? At the end of the day, we all signed up to this forum with a shared interest in either Lana or her music. Getting tired of the same self-righteous elite issuing fan labels to others on here. 
 
Me, well I might not know Lana's full back catalogue of music lyric for lyric or in chronological order of time, day and date of recording prior to Video Games but hey, I have bought her albums and paid to see her live. Oh yeah and that's right, the girl on the left in my avatar - it happens to be me, and I'm not a cartoon or a figment of someone's imagination, so yeah - perfectly 'real' fan over here!
