The lyrics and the production in general are not great.

I like White Mustang, but to me it's what your average music listener would make if they were told "make a Lana Del Rey song"

Get Free is Lana's best closer yet. It feels like the end of something old and the start of something new and fresh.

the strings are so dramatic and heavy and lush and loud
it's like the antithesis to Honeymoon's strings
also this just rekindled my desire for that summertime sadness alt version god fucking damnit i eased myself off of that
SS is in my middle section for songs i love off of BtD but that version would easily be top 4
afaik think of it as one of the pieces to an instrumental, there's many stems so like for BtD theoretically you have her voice, the backing vocals, the strings, the drums, etc. all of those pieced together would be the full song- the stems are the individual pieces that make it up (iirc dont murder me but thts prob right)

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.

I don't get the point though, why Ben posting it would mean it has to do with her music ?

So I realized the nerdiest shit ever here we go
in Get Free, when Lana sings "I'm crossing the threshold from the ordinary world to the reveal of my heart", she's literally referring to the character arch of a heroic character in literature/fantasy as written by joseph campbell
Joseph Campbell was one of the forefathers and most influential writers during the Golden Age of Science Fiction, working with authors such as Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein as chief editor of Astounding Science Fiction magazine.
Which leads to a very nerdy proposition as to how Lana really got her name
Yeah, that's right. Only the biggest science fiction publication company of the 20th century.

It says "Friends at work". And she looks all done up.
Could this be 2018 Spring Gucci campaign starring Jared Leto + LDR !?!?!?!

Kinda off topic but I think Lana should start the tour with Heroin, because:
1) the verse “I’m flying to the moon again” fits perfectly with the name of the tour
2) it’s her favorite from the album
3) it would be a great great great opener
Hihihi
