Whoopiedoo

I think Y&B is about K, the one who is apparently dead/in jail.
What gives it away you ask?
 
Whoever this K guy is, isn't getting out of jail tomorrow, it's going to be awhile, and when it happens Lana will have aged and won't look like her young self (as in looking young and beautiful)
(FYI, K getting out of jail is interchangeable with him already being dead and Lana waiting to get to heaven to meet him there. K died young, Lana dies as an old wrinkly woman. Will he still love her in the afterlife if she is no longer youthfully beautiful?)
 
This becomes more apparent in the bridge.
Lana is begging god to bring K to heaven instead of hell. Even though he has committed a crime and has sinned, he still has a good heart and makes Lana feel good inside. If not, Lana will be forever lonely and depressed.
 
With the line "had my cake now," Lana is relating life to desserts. A dessert (the cake) is the final dish to a full course meal. It's the happy ending; ones last meal before bed. Lana has lived a prosperous and eventful life and is ready to move onto the afterlife and be with her one true love.
 
Funny that she mentions Bel Air, if I were to analyze that song (Bel Air), I would decode it as Bel Air being heaven and Lana waiting to meet her one true love (K) there, much like this song.
 
The first verse of Y&B reminds me very much of Carey Mulligans character in Gatsby, but the second verse is very typical of Lana, which makes me think Lana went back and made adjustments lyrically to the song to fit the movie. I also get an "American" vibe whenever I listen to the song. Again, there's also similarities lyrically, which makes me think American may have once been intended to be for Gatsby. After all, Gatsby's skin is golden brown,

I think it's pretty evident that Cola is about Barrie, and not about any of her past lovers. What gives it away is, "don't treat me ruff, treat me really nice-ies." A bulk of her old songs, she sings about wanting to be treated badly and roughly. In reality, Lana wants a real relationship. While she may have matured, her pussy will always taste like pepsi cola, as in, all the elements of her past that make up the Lana Del Rey DNA (american flags, white trash, motels, streamers, fake nails, american kitsch) will always be part of her.

I hope she plays with her pussy on this record!

I hope she plays with her pussy on this record!

Me too!

Me too!

Hmmm. Like a 5% improvement than the cover we got.

I hope she plays with her pussy on this record!

I still think what was released is amazing! Prob one of her best.
 
I'm curious, what all has leaked from this original album?

Didn't Lana also say she re-shot the artwork for the album once the direction changed, or am I making that up? Or was this for a different album?

They sound horrible though! If you want it just for the packaging, I see no harm in that, but the sound quality on the vinyl is awful. Get the European pressing on black vinyl. The sound is perfect!

I have a playlist called "Miss America" that uses the songs/demos between AKA and BTD that Lana made videos for. (plus trash magic)
 
01) Kinda Outta Luck
02) Lolyta
03) Diet Mountain Dew
04) National Anthem
05) Hundred Dollar Bill
06) Million Dollar Man
07) On Our Way
08) Trash Magic
09) Carmen

Oh my did I really say that?

Thank you sweetie!

Thank you sweetie!

Is it true that one of the songs samples Ray of Light?

Do we know the status of this album? Is it attached to a label? Does Lana own the master?

Oh my did I really say that?

It’s not a hate thread. It’s putting a spotlight on something beautiful in this world

I’m an album guy. I enjoy the aspect of listening to a record from beginning to end. My gripes with Honeymoon is just my opinion of filler. There’s songs like Art Deco and Salvatore that I feel like ruin the flow because they are the weakest songs on the album. I find Ultraviolence to be flawless album.

btw I haven’t posted here since maybe the release of Mariner’s Apartment Complex? Lol
i wanted to see what the consensus was on this album here. I was surprised to see not only so many positive reviews from the press, but also the fans! I remember being shocked once when I found out that Homeymoon was such a fan favorit, when at that time I ranked it pretty low with her discography.
My fav would be split between Ultraviolence and BTD, with Norman following behind it.
 
I just can’t seem to get into this album. I’ve given it 2 listens so far. Thunder being my only fav so far.
But…, it is….
