    I personally think that the songs on HM weren't meant for UV, but she probably started writing a lot of them while she was mixing UV with Dan. 
    Maybe she intended to use the songs for that re-release for UV, and she even mentioned MWTBT as a potential album title, but thematically, a lot of the songs on HM (other than the title track and The Blackest Day maybe) don't sound like something that would go on UV, or even a re-release.
     
    That's just my opinion, though

    Yes they were so pretty and summer-y. Her paradise dresses will always be my favorite, but I don't think that look will fit you know. The 2016 dresses are perfect.

    To me Honeymoon and Lust For Life go together, and I'm really hoping the la to the moon tour is 90% honeymoon and lust for life songs. Could you imangine Lana wearing white dresses in her beachy set up singing Honeymoon or Get Free. I can dream

    I recall Lana talking about how time was a central theme throughout the record. That feeling of timelessness and what one's interpretation of timelessness reveals about their own self is what I personally view as an overarching theme throughout the record. 
     
    The whole record contains this feeling of time, both moving backwards and forwards. Both melodically and sonically. Burnt Norton in particular illustrates this lyrical idea of certain events and mindsets of different times coexisting in the past, present, and future. I feel like this was included as the interlude of the record because it almost serves as a metaphor for that gap between who Lizzy was/is and who Lana Del Rey is calculated to be. There are parts of Lizzy that exist within Lana and there are parts of Lana that were part of Lizzy even before Lana was calculated. What also leads me to believe this is something Lana said from the Billboard 2015 interview: Lana referred to herself as "her" rather than "I," saying that she's "protective of her - Lana..." Lana also stated this year that she did view "Lana Del Rey" as more of a persona than herself.  Also, in early 2015, Lana changed her Instagram icon to a picture of Lizzy. In terms of the sonic aspect, there is a lot of recycling of various sounds and the inverting of various instrumental sequences throughout songs. For example, the drums at the end of Religion slow down into nothingness, which almost sounds like time stopping. In HBTB, the last "high" sequences are later used for the Swan Song intro. Salvatore features a laugh that sounds both played forward and in reverse (it is more prominent in the instrumental rather than the actual album track). I feel like time is a metaphor for Lana versus Lizzy, and timelessness refers to parts of Elizabeth Woolridge Grant that exist in all versions of herself. 
     
     
    Of course, there are also some songs that deal with Lana versus Lizzy, like Swan Song, where she asks both her man and herself if everything they're doing is really worth it, perhaps the theme of freedom in the song is letting go of who Lana Del Rey is ("I will never sing again" is quite open to interpretation but definitely fits this). God Knows I Tried also deals with escaping fame and feeling free. In fact, the whole record is called Honeymoon. A honeymoon is something that is to be enjoyed without any stress, and it is meant to be done in a fashion that ensures the privacy and relaxation of one. The privacy aspect is key to Lana versus Lizzy, because Lana is probably not the coolly detached, stiletto-nailed, false-eyelash batting Lana Del Rey when she's on her own time, at least not at the time of the journeys chronicled in Honeymoon. Honeymoon is the bridge between that persona of Lana from Born to Die, Paradise, and Ultraviolence, to the more grounded, aware of the real world Lana that is present in Lust for Life.
     
    I could go on, but I would take forever. Honeymoon is an album that has a lot beyond it's surface and I have so much to say about it. I don't know if what I wrote was what you were looking for, but I hope it was!

    Love - 10/10 - In my opinion, this is the perfect way to start the record, and I love the message and global feeling it has. 
     
    Lust for Life (feat. The Weeknd) - 8/10 - the sentiment is very cute, and I like how Shangri-La's inspired it is. It sounds a lot like young, starry love, which I think is a reflection of the themes discussed in the track before it. 
     
    13 Beaches - 9/10 - This song has so much imagery within it, as well as cool satellite effects and an overall pensive/classic Lana vibe. Reminds me of TLY with more drums.
     
    Cherry - 10/10 - This song is classic Lana - it's a bop and sonically, the chaotic atmosphere of it conveys the lyrics. 
     
    White Mustang - 7/10 - I like this song, it's very short however, but still ultimately sweet, despite it's repetitiveness. 
     
    Summer Bummer (feat. A$AP Rocky and Playboi Carti) - 8/10 - I like this song.
     
    Groupie Love - 10/10 - This track feels so right, it's so hazy and dreamy, and Lana's vocals sound absolutely pristine on it. 
     
    In My Feelings - 8/10 - Very "current" and "trendy" in sound, but still feels like Lana. 
     
    Coachella - Woodstock in My Mind - 9/10 - A very important song within the record, in my opinion. It bridges the gap between classic Lana bops and the new, socially aware, politically charged, self-aware, pensive Lana tracks that sound folky and smoky. I love the lyrics and the sentiment, and the bridge is amazing. 
     
    God Bless America - And All the Beautiful Women in It - 7/10 - I like the song, especially the bridge and pre-choruses. 
     
    When the World Was at War We Kept Dancing - 8/10 -a masterpiece. I think the song could sound a lot more moving without the use of trap beats but I like the cool effect they give. Lyrically, it's very reminiscent of WWII, and I like how the main message is centred around how hope is not all lost. 
     
    Beautiful People Beautiful Problems (feat. Stevie Nicks) - 9/10 - Great track, love the vibe and the reference to blue-collared workers. It's a more subtly political track, but Lana + Stevie = bliss. 
     
    ​Tomorrow Never Came (feat. Sean Ono Lennon) - 10/10 - I love how folky it is, I think that's one of the genres Lana knows how to do best. The lyrics represent a cute love story, and the Beatles vibe is done quite well, while retaining Lana's aesthetic. 
     
    Heroin - 10/10 - My favourite song on the whole record. No words can be said to describe how much this song really resonates with a listener, it's definitely one of Lana's most personal/introspective songs.
     
    Change - 10/10 - Another song that has a similar role within the album and impact as Heroin. It's very chilling and barebones, and it's both somewhere Lana has gone before, and something new. 
     
    Get Free - 10/10-  One of the most important songs on the record - it's basically a summary of what Lust for Life as an album symbolizes for Lana, and ties the whole record together. 
     
    Album average score: 89.375/100
