LaMartine

soccer mom of my heart 

the guy could be her personal trainer, anyway she looks nice, her facial features remind me of when she was lizzy grant for some reason. 

she wanted the last word to be blue       (i knew that's how the record ends but A+ artistic choice) 

Nel blù dipinto di blu,

Felice di stare lassù, 

E volavo volavo felice più in alto del sole ed ancora più sù, 

Mentre il mondo pian piano spariva lontano laggiù

Una musica dolce suonava soltanto per me ... 

Cue to lana singing I can fly  

i now recall how 50s/60s to 90s popular italian songs have blue as a recurring theme which reminds me a bit of lana 

GODDESS 

i fucking love paradise  true understated beauty   

brooklyn baby audio has more views than the freak mv .... such a good song 

not that views matter but u catch my drift   

of course not gorl. click that bitch until your finger falls off

is there a problem if i can vote several times? 

this last episode was nice, can't wait for ally to digest the news 

 

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS

 

i was personally offended when i realized that by watching this video (i'll still try to snatch the vinyl discography this christmas). i'm not an expert so maybe that wasn't technically possible but hbtb/freak/art deco belonged together they were the trap trinity 

 

Get Free is one of the best songs in Lust For Life but:

I feel like the second verse could've been worded better Like my part was I, was not discerning, and you as we found out, were not in your right mind. The message of the lyrics is actually nice but it feels forced or gramatically incorrect (even though it's not). Unless that's the point or I'm missing something.

I have the same problem. I change the grammar in my head because I find that the original wording isn't flowing very well, it's a bit pedantic. (but who am i to criticise her wording LOL). I also hate "puts you in a trance" and prefer something like "sets you in a trance", i find some words too basic idk 

there's a similar problem, imho, in 13 beaches and (the first verse of) cherry 

Coming from a user who spams the LFL thread with unrelated drivel. The topic isn't discussing Honeymoon, it's about why the album is so disliked within the community, completely appropriate as a topic on its own.

 

I swear to God y'all

it's cool ... LRL wasn't being mean 

Thank you It's going pretty slow. Might not be done until in the morning. It's 6:20 pm rn.

Sending my thoughts for an easy labor       hoping for happy news to come soon 

OMFG this is low-key off topic but guys look. So I'm in gym and I'm listening to LFL. And then Change came on. And Right when Lana sang " there's a change gonna come, idk where or when" my mom (who's 9 month pregnant) text me and said she's going into labor....

I'M SHOOKETH. QUEEN OF FORESHADOWING MY LIFE

Such a legend, she's out there predicting our future and providing her fans A+ quality soundtracks for their lives 

I'm so happy for your mom, I send you my congratulations to you and your family, hope everything is fine!   

in terms of eras i suppose honeymoon was pretty underwhelming with minimalistic promo, recycled footage used for freak and also mtwbt, not giving the title track a proper mv, and perhaps the addition of the backup dancers for concerts but sonically it's amazing, i always listen to all of lana's music anyway

the only low point of hm is perhaps the nina simone cover and the vinyl discontinuity between freak/art deco. i'd hate to pick a favorite but i find honeymoon to be the blueprint of what i like in an album. to me - it's almost perfect 

i love every single song, and the admirable thing is that the album is very cohesive but also lana revisits (or at least acknowledges) different  styles of music from classic lounge, gospel,trap and jazz 

also something that is very specific to honeymoon is that every track is in the right place: she achieved to find the perfect opener/closer combo (i ignore nina - whom i love dearly- and pretend it ends with swan song even tho the cover is ok, and also appropriate, so no hard feelings on my part). the album starts with the perfect incipit that almost breaks the 4th  wall and nudges about lana's popularity and every other track in the middle is in its right place. And love that she has an interlude  

i also love how chill the album is, i like that lana has something like that in her repertoire. anyway this is all my opinion, i admit i have a negative bias against deluxe versions of albums and while UV sonically and lyrically might be more interesting there are like 4 different versions of the album (standard, deluxe, deluxe with an itunes song exclusive and a japanese deluxe version - i could be wrong) so it's kinda jarring. at least LFL has the perfect closer with GF. 

i'm also partial to the surreal themes of the songs and to the hermetic approach of her lyrics, which also brings some variety to her songwriting because that's a different style from BTD/UV where she seems like she's narrating a story, while in HM she seems addressing herself or the audience about her thoughts and feelings in a dialogue. I feel that we are more included in the narrative and lana's persona with this album. 

it might seem like lana hasn't taken any risks but compared to what the music industry is, the project was very risky. the tempo is too slow and not very youtube attractive. I could see the songs being played by a radio tbh but not becoming viral and eliciting lots of clicks which is something everyone attempts to do with drums, fast hooks and lush music videos (altho lana could use a better marketing strategy ...)

i'll stop before writing an essay, honeymoon is bomb. 

LFL is most enjoyable when listened to while surrounded by nature.

Ex: Beaches (Black Ones ) , A Butterfly Garden, While Camping, On a Picnic. Omg i could go on forever but y'all get the gist

absolutely 

this is all trivial but the first time i listened to the digital album after buying it was outside (i still stream it), i was sitting at this bench with a lovely soft wind in the air and heroin started i was in love, it was perfect 

the whole album sounds better when outside, especially next to water 

Lol, my housemate just put something in the microwave and the beeping when it's done was in the exact same rythm as the piano in BPBP that I'm listening to at the moment.

 

I bet nobody cares, but I thought it was funny and wanted to share it.

i once listened to wtwwaw sitting by the river and i heard an airplane behind me while the song was beginning and it complemented the drone sound, i was like  

wrap you up in my daisy chains is such a great sexy line     

If Lana closes her concert with this song, after she walks off, the entire arena will begin to levitate slightly in their seats as the arena lifts off of earth and flies to the moon, where Lana is there waiting in the foreground of a sky full of stars and rainbows 

morte de rire 

this should be the end of a halloween simpsons episode 

I'M NOT IGNORING IT 

She sounds like a superhero 

 

Or Karl Marx 

tbh when i try to sing along to some of these songs i want to tear up a bit, not really from sadness but from being emotional 

especially 13 beaches (and those strings literally pull my heart and when the drums come after, well that's magical) and heroin (the"oh my god" and "oh oh oh oh" really really get me, they remind me of some folcloric moroccan music one of my friends listens to) 

I think she's alluring to her childhood days were she dreamed about candies instead of heroin. You know, " it's innocence lost". But this may be a reach lmao

Altho I hear marzipan I thought she was saying another word world for some medical drug that I can't spell and marzipan was me mishearing ... but i like the innocence lost interpretation tbh, marzipan is also present in kids' fairy tales (grimm brothers) 

The fuck is marzipan?

i thought she was quoting some drug not marzipan 

I could hardly watch the videos, this is so sickening and all my thoughts and sincere condolences are with those who were there who have been victims of the shooting or had to witness these kind of attacks 

it is really hard to get the courage of continuing to live life like you did before, unless people come together and encourage and empower each other to not succumb to terror. i'm always torn between being paranoidly afraid of going anywhere and pretending to be brave and go outside and have fun and do all the things terrorists (and the like) want to make you afraid of. and las vegas *is* a (or maybe THE) place for having fun and letting go, i pray for the people to heal, and that in the future, governments might show to be more willing to protect its citizens with the right legislation 

3 years ago, i was with my friends drinking hot wine in paper goblets until a truck driver crashed into the christmas market in front of us and run over 11 people and it took us a moment to go up some stairs to a store, and some hours later we were supposed to get to a bus to go to belgium and enjoy a lighthearted weekend before the real shit began at prep school. i'm glad we went with our plans and stuck together and i don't know if it counts as fighting against terrorism but despite all my fears i didn't want to stop living because of people like these  

Well shit I hope this isn't true...

 

http://gagadaily.com/forums/topic/247635-lana-del-rey-allegedly-faking-signatures/

i'm good at faking signatures, i used to do that for my classmates but i can't even sign my name the same way every time i need to. i just do how i feel and it's different, i'm afraid to get shit for that actually. also there's a 2 years gap between the two albums but it'd be tragic if any artist would fake their signature  

catalonia's (like in belgium and northern italy) decision to be independent was also fueled by the difference in revenue from the rest of spain, something that apparently madrid takes advantage of without the catalans perceiving an appropriate trade off from the government. 

it's so disgraceful that the tensions have blown into proper violence, this could have been avoided and i can't see people not wanting to be independent now even though i don't really approve of the sentiment
