If Lana is doing a box set for HM I hope its kinda like the PD box set and not the UV kind. There's apart of me that prays Lana will do something special and different with the box sets/deluxe editions this time round...

I think HBTB is the worst Lead single choice Lana has made and Its also imo one of Lana's worst songs she's ever made to.It sounds to me like its a demo for a potentially great track. I always always find some redeeming quality in anything Lana has released or done so far in her career but the track is so bad and lazy I don't like the instrumental at all it just sounds so basic compared to what Lana and her team are capable of. I understand Lana has to evolve and hell I love it when artist do so as it keeps them and us interested but the beats are so generic... The lyrics are very vapid and empty. Apart from the cute Lizzy Grant nod and the rather good ending the rest are the usual Lana troupes that she's prone to using. I get why almost everyone likes it so much though. The fact the Lana is standing up for herself and saying a massive fuck you to the press/ex's whatever is a massive and important step forward.So I'm happy that way \par Now the video.Its not the mess that UV was but its not a masterpiece like BTD was either.It middle of the road like Y&B and Burning Desire.Its beautiful and there are some gorgeous shots aswell but in some parts it feels awkward. The highlight though is when Lana shoots down the Paparazzi-copter. Actually that's one of the highlights of my life tbh Its quite funny in some parts especially when she caught her dress on the rail

This x 1000 The new version is imo is awful. I much prefer LOD V1...

It like DMD had a joint.I honestly didn't think we'd hear this kind of track from Lana ever again tbh. This has HIT written all over it so I'm hoping it doesn't leak

All I hope for is that HM album cover will not be a photoshop mess like PD. I've grown to really appreciate UV cover for what it is tbh but i have to agree with @ that the inlay notes were truly awful. BTD has such an iconic cover that imo no matter how brilliant HM cover might be will never be topped. I also not very keen on the inlay for BTD... The perfect balance would be a mixture of gorgeous photography from Chuck/Neil and full lyrics.That would be gorgeous and we will have best of both worlds... -
I did have reservations about HBTB cover but now I love it to bits. It reminds me of those tacky but awesome covers you used to get on those romantic pulp fiction novels. It couldn't be more Lana tbh....

A little side-note but the cute little ornament that's on Lana's necklace is a mini version of a spyglass (Which sailors used a long time ago and often associated with the sea) Kinda like this - https://www.etsy.com/listing/62387904/miniature-spyglass-telescope-pendant I know it a bit off-topic but It's a very cute detail of Lana's none the less

I just realized that the boat is a model and that it's just resting on the ledge of the balcony. Thank god it wasn't some bad photo shopping but still it's very awkward looking tbh

I'm a really patient person not really but when it's for album/single releases I am but my god its been days with out any news . Please Lana give us anything,ANYTHING...... -
God the video couldn't be more English/Scottish if it tried . It is however so beautiful,understated and fits so well with the albums aesthetics overall. It would be very odd thinking about it if the video was this epic over the top feast like the ceremonial videos. It would be completely terrible honestly if that had happen and would've ruined the whole feel for HBHBHB all together.... Also I like to admit that I'm from England and struggled heavily to understand the Scottish hunk

Do you wish Lana was more active on social media?
Macintosh Manhattan replied to brooklynbaby91's topic in Lana Thoughts
Who knows tbh She might actually be on here as a lurker on something or been on here a couple of times in the past If I was famous my curiosity/ego would get the better.I'd love to see what my fans are saying about me on a board/site made in my honor Her management must be on here though occasionally... -

After listening to HM and now thinking about it clearly rather than having my fan girl googles on I can honestly say that HM is well okay.Its just a typical Lana track and its quite boring tbh Yeah the production and Lana's vocals are sumptuous.There's no doubt that Lana has definitely gone in the right direction there.Its just the lyrics and flow of the whole track that bothers me.Its verging on the point of parody sometimes.The -your a bad boy but I'll love you no matter - troupe is getting really old now but however I really hope that Lana dump some of the over used troupes this era. That leads to one of my theories that the reason why Lana has given us the track so early is because she's ending this version/persona of Lana Del Rey (Hollywood,Drugs,Bad Boys etc) with the Honeymoon track itself and the rest of the album will explore the new "Other" Lana's new jazzy,surrealist,futureretro persona... IDK I'm might be reaching tbh -
