Honeymoon - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll
Dark Angel replied to annedauphine's topic in Post-Release Threads
i have no idea, i don't even know if i was a fan yet in september of 2015, if i was, i was a new fan and not well-versed with the fandom lol, if you can't find it after an hour of searching for it, it's likely deleted -
Honeymoon - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll
Dark Angel replied to annedauphine's topic in Post-Release Threads
i'm guessing this gif is from it? i find it so crazy how people hated honeymoon when it first came out now it's considered one of her best, at least it is here, i'm glad we've come around because it's a fantastic album and honestly lana at her best -
love that for you reese's peanut butter cups

from what i know, valley of the dolls is related to the album she did with the last shadow puppets, and it was actually sent to jack antonoff, interestingly

not necessarily a project, but lizzy and steven mertens made some fantastic stuff together, and it would be cool if they worked together more and there was a more solidified mertens' AKA, we don't have steven mertens versions of oh say can you see, for k, pt. 2, raise me up (mississippi south), pawn shop blues, or yayo, although there's definitely a chance more stuff produced by steven mertens exists and are out there i definitely agree with tropico, some of her work from that period of time is her best although i'm certainly not a lust for life hater, and the fandom in general has warmed up to it, i feel like the original lust for life concept that was more atmospheric would've been a better follow-up to honeymoon, lust for life demo 1, yosemite, poetry in motion, best american record... also, i'm really glad her management didn't allow her to add any extra tracks on AKA before it was released because it's perfect the way it is however, i prefer the current tracklisting over the original one that began with for k, pt. 2 and ended with mermaid motel, the official tracklisting is just so perfect, it's hard to imagine it used to be so different

my new favorite <3

i think they're a bit too ambiguous to say exactly what they mean, but i don't really get a transphobic vibe from them, it doesn't seem like they're necessarily judging her regardless, we can't expect a song from the 1970s to be as politically progressive as a song from today usually will be, i don't think it's wrong to listen to songs that might have an outdated message/viewpoint, but it's best we're aware of it and recognize that it might not be kind or correct

born to die vs. last girl on earth

it's a reference to put the radio on "i love you lots, polka dots of desire in your thoughts"

kurt cobain's dance for money

we'll never have another artist like her... it's basically a poem, and it mentions methamphetamines, flamingos, coney island, jersey shore, and a lot of mentions of "blue" that undeniably add to the song's beautifully melancholic feel, blue fifty's queen, blue oyster cove, blue fifty's song it's so lizzy grant, not to mention it's lo-fi quality, and the random soundbytes of elvis i will cherish her for all eternity... and the fact it morphed into old money.... imagine a laptop demo of old money similar to sweetheart and connection, it would be such a monumental moment

maybe you can cut out just lana and make some sort of collage? or maybe you could add some to a scrapbook/photobook if you have anything like that also, no, i don't think it's weird at all, i have a corkboard covered with mostly photos of lizzy grant, toppled off with fake hibiscuses and kitschy keychains

Earthquakes - Lana Del Rey

or, maybe, she can keep making awesome songs like candy necklace, ocean boulevard, buddy's rendezvous, and let the light in... and not let herself be overshadowed by billie eilish and phoebe bridgers also... i don't know what you mean by boomer music... a lot of great music came out of the 50s, 60s, and 70s... maybe you're just automatically associating old with boring

jump vs. raise me up (mississippi south)
-
fun fact... during the lizzy grant era, somebody (i don't remember if it was somebody reviewing her music/live show, or somebody who knew her) described her as a mix between leonard cohen and marilyn monroe

definitely planning on discovering his discography one day! one of the many classic, iconic artists i need to get into

i don't wanna go vs. lost at sea
