I personally think the lyric in the studio version is “Bonnie,” echoing @Frangipani’s connection of it to Sad Girl’s lyrics (Lana also likened Shades of Cool and Sad Girl here). “I’m one of many Bonnies blue” may also be a play-on-words of the Bonnie Blue Flag, which makes sense as a reference for Lana, given its roots in American war history. I think she just pronounces it rather sultry in the song, so that’s why it’s difficult to discern. In the live version, she definitely switches it up to say “ponies” — but Lana always does that with lyrics, as others have pointed out.

I’ve been loving this record a lot lately. It’s got a mix of everything to love about Lana, and listening to it five years down the line feels like coming home, oddly. It makes life feel rosier in its hue

I wouldn’t rule out August! Everything for Honeymoon happened really suddenly that month, what with High By the Beach, Terrence Loves You, the album’s tracklist + pre-order, and the Honeymoon Hotline. And then of course, Fuck It I Love You / The Greatest, Looking for America, Season of the Witch, and the entirety of NFR came out that month. You never know!

Lust for Life is an incredible album. The production is layered, rich, and dynamic with so many little idiosyncrasies to discover upon listening to the instrumentals. Lana’s vocals are just so dreamy and languorous, I really think her vocals were at a peak when recording Honeymoon and Lust for Life back-to-back. It puts me in a great mood and is so summery and spacey. Not to mention, the era was so fun to experience in real time and the visuals were everything! 🪐🕊💫🍒

OMG I am so dumb, I didn’t even read the thread title Sorry! Thank you for reminding me and answering anyways <333 I will offer a new question: When was the last time you made your favourite food?

Three days ago - I listened to NFR! in its entirety as I was driving! Perfect commuting + summer album What is your favourite season and why?

For what it’s worth, the case files were posted directly by TMZ and the Daily Mail, where this news broke in the first place — https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11050505/amp/Lana-Del-Rey-granted-temporary-restraining-order-against-alleged-stalker-stole-car.html https://amp.tmz.com/2022/07/26/lana-del-rey-temporary-restraining-order-stolen-car-stalker/

That is horrible. I’m so glad her TRO has been granted, but it’s insane that this has happened time and time again over the last 8 years…

Gorgeous! The July sun has been treating her well I bet she made those fans’ lives (as fans and small business owners)!

Re: karmic lineage, I really think she was implying that past generations of her family have historically wronged black and Indigenous folk by participating in racist and colonial systems at the time (obviously preceding her lifetime and her relatives that we know of). That seems to be why she has felt this natural inclination to make reparations to the Navajo community through Violet. Especially with her platform, influence, and resources to do so. I also think the story she tells on Blue Banisters contains experiences that reveal to her a need to heal and not uphold her distant family’s karmic lineage. Text Book’s references to Sean and BLM + Black Bathing Suit’s references to the public’s reaction to QFTC illustrate experiences in her real life that perhaps served as mirrors to that family history, and catalytic events for Lana to forge a new path for her lineage.

I had a dream where Lana was interviewed and was asked about the release date of the album. She said it was October 30 (which is a Sunday). In the spirit of being utterly delusional, let’s do with that what we will!

We actually just got it. From…the mall, so…yeah!

AW LOL I try!! You are the best

She didn’t say that in a print interview, but in her Apple Music / Beats Radio 1 interview with Zane Lowe on July 12, 2017! Jump to 4:16

Prison don’t mean nothin’ to me if you’ll be by my side… They look great together!

Her outfit is so spring/summer 2016. Always love seeing her with Nikki <3

I think we can safely say that piano and strings are going to make up the instrumentation of this record. I hope it’s in the vein of this, as it marries the sonic landscape of Blue Banisters and Honeymoon while bringing in the characteristic embellishments of Violet —

Off to the Races vs. Florida Kilos

Honeymoon vs. Fine China

I know at this point I’ll love anything she puts out because it’s been that way with every record, but I really would love a return of a rich, cinematic, orchestral sound. I just love the glamour she would bring into the music, and it seems that she’s feeling inspired by that vein of sound again, what with her mentions of Drew’s “charting” and her recent appearances. I find that these days, I personally am gravitating towards all things glamour and opulence, so it’d be beautiful if she returned to that (with, of course, a vintage flair — i.e: big hair!)

When the emojis posted aren’t an acronym for anything and are just hinting at a “bombastic” track

If this is the photo, it’s from July 5, 2021 (last year). The fan just seems to have posted it a year later.

So difficult! But I’d have to go with.. Honeymoon vs. Ultraviolence
