I have been thinking about how intelligent the Honeymoon cover + photoshoot is lately, and I just wanted to reshare something I wrote about it 4 years ago. This record is just so amazing and continues to amaze me –
 

I’ve been thinking about this record so much lately, and how its entire composition would be so important in the years to come. Lyrically, God Knows I Tried and Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood are, in a way, alternative responses of some of the tracks on Blue Banisters that address public relations. That sentiment is portrayed so implicitly but powerfully on Honeymoon. 
 
It’s truly her in album form and is very much a portrait that is diaristic as it is stylized. Forever my favourite <3

I’ll never forget where I was when I heard Terrence Loves You for the first time — I was staying at one of those lonely hotel inns for the night in the stretch between the city and the sea during a road trip along the west coast. It was the perfect setting to take in such a thoughtful, contemplative song. That was a surreal moment, and one of my favourite memories of experiencing the music in real time.
 
I love the idea of beautifying your life and doing things that make it feel pretty — experiencing that song’s release the way I did was one of those instances where I felt like life romanticized itself on its own, and this entire record definitely encouraged me to create moments like that from then on. 

I love how any drug reference from Lana Del Rey in 2022 feels self-referential 

Earlier today, Lana Del Rey met a fan while out and about in the Highland Park area of Los Angeles, California.
The fan, named Margo May, stated that Lana gave her a hug and had a chat for a few minutes.

My Father Told Me If I Went Slowly, I’d Be Safe  - But He Was Wrong.
 
Lana herself revealed this title to Rolling Stone Germany in March 2021!

One of my favourite episodes. Zendaya’s performance was amazing…

this episode definitely lived up to the hype, probably the best episode since the carnival episode. so glad rue finally clocked jules even tho she was just doing it to deflect.
 
only thing is i wish maddy found out about nate and cassie a different way, cause their relationship is pretty much the biggest storyline this season and the revelation to maddy felt brushed over cause the episode was so focused on rue.

This site Dream by Wombo works well! Here's some I've done with it -

our honeymoon
   
 

I can’t see any song being on any album other than the one it belongs to.
 
The only exceptions you could argue are TNBAR and Yosemite, as they fit the soundscape of the earlier LFL tracks (Heroin, Get Free, 13 Beaches, Love), but even LFL in its final form was a record that evolved into something a bit different than those two tracks. And I guess the songs from TLSP sessions sound perfect for that full record, but we haven’t heard it in full obviously (and the songs that did end up being released sound great on NFR and BB). 
 
Every song contains even the tiniest of idiosyncrasies or the most subtle of stylistic production elements that make it fitting for the record it ended up on and only that record, in my opinion. Lana’s catalog is very specific in that way. 

This makes me even more excited for their joint record   I love the melody — it’s so showtunes-y, jazzy, and Lana’s voice sounds so good singing these kinds of melodic patterns <3

Whoever is making these please dont stop

The way she says “you used to say that I was beautiful like Cleopatra, but you the king, too, so I would say, back atcha” always got me. It’s so sweet 
I always thought the same! So many of Lana’s unreleased songs from 2010 remind me of 90s/2000s teen romcoms. Like, I immediately think of Cher Horowitz when I hear songs like this one, Meet Me in the Pale Moonlight, Backfire, Playground, etc. 

More polaroids! With the fan who took the ones posted above 
 

More polaroids! I swear — everything just looks so much cooler on film. The nostalgia in these is real <3
