Hm well Serial Killer was registered right before the Endless Summer Tour when she performed it and the LA to the Moon Tour is super soon what if she's planning to perform Elvis

I don't dislike it, but I wouldn't really care if I never heard it again

I saw that too. Never Let Me Go was also registered around the time the LFL album trailer was released, so I personally don't think anything of it, but who knows? 

I don't like the song, but this analysis is great!

Either bringing it forward like she did Yayo for the EP or it's one of the songs she's doing on tour orrrr the unreleased album. iirc wasn't she listening to the song somewhat recently?

Woke up 6 hours late and just listened, i think y'all are overreacting (but whats new )
 
It's a cute little song, I DO wish Lana had the bridge to herself because the melody kinda unravels but overall it's a cute song. I won't deny the transition from verse -> chorus is a bit rushed but lbr that's easily fixed, and then with Lana's contribution; it is a børns song, it's not like Summer Bummer in which there's features but at the end of the day it's still HER song and she owns most of it. Y'all need to listen to more genre's bc a feature still a feature (hey Playboi Carti!)
 
The song is a smooth bop with a much bigger chorus than I thought ngl, and my expectations, while not blown away- my vision for when the song will be a nice drive was right. Palmy n breezy n cloudy n sunny days in May WILL demand for this song, and so will rainy days.
 
Also not every song neeeds to have purposeful lyrics on the dot, have y'all not read some of the lyrics on Lana's old unreleased acoustic songs? Some are literally just words that relate to her aesthetic and that's it...also I know this probably a moot point but it's not like old pop songs from previous years weren't word soups themselves, if y'all want to see a mindfuck pop song go listen to (and read the lyrics of) Blinded By The Light
 
e: ok I reread the lyrics on Genius and idk bout y'all but I'm seeing a very clear story. The first verse is them driving through the night, they're tired but hopeful and happy to see the sunrise. He doesn't want to stop driving because he's excited for this new day. The second verse is the supposed 'couple' driving in the day, they're "baptized" in these blue skies, it's like when you're in a foreign country or state and you reach out and feel the brand new air, the wind, the warmth- it's something you have to take it with every sense you have. 
 
The chorus tells us they're constantly on warm pavement and by the coast (it's obviously California), the 3rd verse is telling us WHY they're here, metaphorically they were kicked out from their previous 'Paradise' and lost total support. With this lack of something to lose, they say fuck it and start driving- they're full of life and don't care. 
 
The bridge is just him hoping God protects and keeps pure all the good things, while they might've been a lost cause from coexisting with their previous life they don't want this gorgeous one to whittle down. Same with the refrain of "God Save, God Save Our Young Blood", they don't want to lose this spark, curiosity, and excitement. 
 
It's basically girl or guy probably lost all support from old home, and their partner and them take every risk and decide to drive out to California for a new life, and by the time they're across the border and they see the sunrise- they're hopeful. God save their young blood n protect them 

i love everyone that is in this thread speaking the truth #magnumopus #weluvHM

I decided that HM is my fave Lana album. It's so calm and soft.
And the DARK BLUE

I listened to the entirety of Honeymoon last night with surround sound, noise cancelling ear-muff style headphones and I actually heard so many things that I forgot about when I would normally listen to it on vinyl or standard earbuds. 
 
The production is so articulate and truly her best, there are some hidden details that you will miss if you're listening with earbuds. Her vocals are absolutely phenomenal.
I just love Honeymoon so much, it truly is, in my opinion, her best work. 

I feel like Honeymoon was the record that really allowed Lana to be herself and was a platform through which she could communicate her internal struggle of the whole persona of Lana Del Rey versus Elizabeth Woolridge Grant. The lyrical parallels in some songs (HBTB and PMIAM from AKA) and themes from songs like GKIT and Swan Song really show this struggle I feel. 
 
The whole record deals with themes of escapism and voyeurism, feeling like you're being watched, and living out fantasies of your own downtime and freedom. The visuals for this era also convey this, what with the whole Starline tours bus - showing Lana, a star herself, literally surrounded in a world of stars, but the obvious factor is that these kinds of Hollywood tours are for the average person, which I think subtly but brilliantly shows the way in which Lana both objectively and personally views herself. 
 
I think out of all her discography, Honeymoon is THE record that she probably let the most go with; she really seemed like she was having a lot of fun with the whole process of creating it and the lyrics are more a tool for imagery rather than narrative, which paints a beautiful picture for the listener. It truly is a shame that it is so under-appreciated by her fanbase.
 
I think the main encompassing feeling and vibe throughout the record is Lana's interpretation of jazz and timelessness, and what the definition of timelessness is, sonically speaking. 
 
It's so soft and lush too. Someone else said it in another thread, and I completely agree with them - there are so many layers to it, you're definitely going to continue to discover different sounds and instruments the more you listen to the songs and even the instrumentals. 
 
I just love Honeymoon so much - it's my favourite Lana album. 

Honeymoon is my favourite album of all time. It's so soft, and ethereal, and I find it her most carefree project. 
It reminds me of the nostalgic glamour of the sea...so pure. 

Lol everybody here was excited about the song and finally we started 2018 with a flop

I've started to get into editing recently and I just wanted to share!
My first edit is what I hope Lana's aesthetic for LDR6 is like. Very surf-rock, tropical inspired. Hope you like it!
 
 
 

I ended with Get Free and started with Love. I feel like Get Free represents how I want 2018 to be for me, and Love is a good omen to start it off.
I see that many others thought the same!  

Party Monster didn't have this "Featuring Lana Del Rey" so it was unexpected... Only a pleasant surprise to hear her voice.
It seems like BORNS put that tag just to outsell using her name which was annoying.. We got something else from what we all expected.
Anyways, it IS a BORNS song so I personally don't really care tbh.. I find this situation funny and kinda forgettable.

We still have that collab Lana is supposed to be doing with that indie guy. I'd rather focus on that rn
It's okay, I'll wait for it to come on spotify. I'm not too hyped about the song anyway lol

"Maybe my contribution could be as small as backing vocals"

The song is the definition of "heard it before". The whole production is already old and boring. And I don't think it would have been considered interesting or creative at any point in time. Plus it's obvious that Lana's just there to provide the "featuring Lana Del Rey". She's not having an impact on the track at all.
Can she please work with real musicians again, like Bobby Womack? This is ugly and an insult to anyone with a bit of taste.
