What a bunch of fucking liars

inb4 we start hearing scat porn from them

Time present and time past are both perhaps present in time future, and time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present then we are still in 2011 right now with VG smh   

They're playing the David Letterman version aren't they

lmao are they really playing a live performance from years ago?? or did she record this for the radio? i'm 99% sure i've heard this performance before...

I want the acoustic session  

Are you guys sure she's really gonna sing...?

get that late late promo

Replaced with the Extra Reverb Session

Why do they even censor it, it's not like most French people will get it anyway

did she just come to play songs off of her phone smh

Q: Your third album Honeymoon comes out today, you have revealed the records drop by drop these last few months. We thought everything was under control but 2 days before, the album leaked on the internet. What happened?
 
A: Well it only got leaked in the last eight days, right? That's pretty good! I know the Weekend's album leaked like 2 and a half weeks before. And oh uh it's impossible, you know it happens. Finale goes to the factory so it's manufactured 3 months before. So usually someone takes it.
 
Q: And how do you live it as an artist?
A: If it's a week away, I don't mind. But if it was like 3 months or 6 months I would like wanna die, it's terrible. Because, everybody consumes things so quickly so if they will hear it 6 months before it's out they won't buy it.
 
Q : And it also imposes the concern about control, Lana Del Rey, it's impossible to control everything nowadays. Are you into controlling (stuff)?
A : I, yeah kind of but nothing ever worked. It doesn't matter if I try really hard or if I surrender. It's the chaos ... ridiculous.
 
Q : In the music video High By The Beach, you bring out a huge gun and explode a helicopter. What happened there(in your mind)? You lost control then!
A : Yeah, I blew up a paparazzi.
 
Q : This summer the singer Miley Cyrus said that showing guns in a video is worse than showing her breasts.
A : Well she has very nice breasts so it's very easy for her to say.
 
Q : It's true that on an album called Honeymoon you're not expecting a kalashnikov! It's a pretty singular conception about the "couple"(=pair, relationship)
A : i know, I have good intentions and then what ends up happening is the opposite.
 
Q : Maybe after all there is a real misunderstanding about you Lana. Behind the melancholic ghost, a little washed out, there is a real rebel.
A : Yeah, maybe I'm like a violent demon.
 
Q : Against what are you rebelling, for what would you like to rebel nowadays?
A : I think I rebelled a lot for good reasons ... against a lot of standards especially musically. But now I just want peace and any (?coughs) and I think that's where I got the idea for Video Games.

I highly disliked Ultraviolence except for FMWUTTP but Honeymoon is ....     

So did you, I was just reading what you wrote, and it's basically the same thing. So you can trust our work, people !  haha

I don't feel like it's either tbh, it's more like a mix of the two than a continuation of either.

It's Honeymoon 1.0.

I immediately saw that Tennyson's poem is a retelling of the Gnostic Sophia-myth, as some others have divined:
 
http://www.sarastroblake.com/lady.htm
 
 
http://armageddonconspiracy.co.uk/The-Hero-Program(1685768).htm
 
 
The spiritual path of the individual mirrors the cosmic Gnostic creation mythos; in the first, "I'm in love with a dying man" as she plunges into "The Ocean" of the unconscious; in the second, Sophia (the Lady of Shalott) gazes down from the Pleroma into the reflected Kenoma below, and thus projects herself into it, a fate repeated in the career of the individual soul. The Ray being the individual who becomes Rey when she encounters her brunette alter-ego in the World-Soul. This is Eve with the apple in Tropico, the "creaturely Sophia" (Achamoth) who detaches herself from the heavenly Sophia (the red below and the white above) and falls into the land of Gods and Monsters.

getting Ghetto Baby vibes

oh god this made me laugh so hard. so sweet and endearing <3 

This is not a hate post against you or your opinion at all, and I am very satisfied with HM as an album, but I also don't get people who throw crap at BTD all the time and say that just because it's her first official album somehow it's also her worst.
 
I don't get why would someone NOT want her to write about honoring long lost love and a glamorous lifestyle, when that world is so captivating, it just draws you in.
I don't get why would someone NOT want more videos on the level of these:

I don't get why would someone not want her to do photoshoots this amazing again, who, why would you not want her to look this good again?

 
Born To Die was not only an album, it was an experience. What she does now does not compare. But I also understand that it is not supposed to, as making BTD was her main goal in life.
Now, HM is a wonderful album and I sincerely love all songs. But I can't help but feel that BTD is on a whole other level.

If you are going to use a trash magic cover for Vulgar Darling it should be this imo! @@SitarHero 
 

i have no idea how this video is going to go from underwater cult nymphs to neon signs ect........

Personally I imagine a latin Carmen/Lolita character in a movie
