This Daniel Johnston cover will be in the short film. I don't know how many of you know this but Daniel Johnston & Gabriel Sunday had this film project on Kickstarter in 2013. One of the people that helped back the project, with $7,500., was Lana Del Rey. The prizes she received for backing the project was Daniel Johnston's Smurf blue Ukelele, some of his art, and her name in the credits of this film as an associate producer. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gabesunday/hi-how-are-you-a-short-film-starring-daniel-johnst/description
Since that time, I have been waiting for this short film to be released because I also backed the project, and it has taken over a year of the expected release date to finally get it. I received a message from Gabriel Sunday in the summertime saying that the film was finished and only waiting on some of the music to be finished. I am so glad Lana was brought onto this project in a more personal way. Well worth waiting for. I have forever been joking about Lana covering Daniel Johnston's music, and I always said she should cover (Something's Last a Long Time, The Story of An Artist, and Space Ducks). So this really is beautiful to finally hear. I am so excited to finally see this on 11.11.15. 

The intro of the song sounds so much like segments of the American Beauty soundtrack.
I wanted to say it was sampled, but I was just listening through the AB OST, and it's a very similar sound but not sampled from there directly.
 
I was listening to the recordings some ppl have made of the Honeymoon Hotline's extension recordings(?).
Listening to that led me to watch the Lawrence Krauss lecture on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cIbfbl8124 
(because the HH doesn't actually work when I call it), I enjoyed it and all, but during the lecture, Lawrence Krauss mentions a famous discovery in science:
 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_of_cosmic_microwave_background_radiation.
 
OKAY so the funny thing is that these lyrics:
 
"I put the radio on hold you tight in my mind
Isn't strange that you're not here with me
But I know the lights on in the television
Trying to transmit can you hear me"
 
instantly reminded me of that particular discovery in science because white noise on televisions are actually just picking up random signals from space that aren't being occupied by a channel's signal.
 
​I take the awkward lines of "I know the lights on in the television, trying to transmit (CAN YOU HEAR ME?)"
 
and I don't think this is all a reach because it's a common thought in science that we can be receiving information via cosmic layers of radiation/static noise
 
and you, good people, are talking about hearing a "sound" that I personally haven't experienced but it does seem to fit this train of thought, as far as what this song is about.
 
All in all, I found it peculiar that I arrived at the idea independently, not special, but I wonder if anyone else is thinking about it.
 
Also I have secretly always thought that Lana is (don't scoff) a Sopranos/James Gandolfini fan, because on so many occasions, even before she was famous, Lana has said, done, tweeted things that are quotes or inspiration from that show Sopranos, mostly stuff that the main character Tony says, but also a lot of Lana's "Daytona Meth" style can be seen as a reflection upon Adrina's character/style https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adriana_La_Cerva
 
My odd point with this is that "You are what you are." is a very poignant line delivered by James Gandolfini during an episode when he's in therapy discussing how he was born into a life of organized crime, and that lyric just instantly made me think of that line and what it meant within that context...

genetic predispostions /destiny written in stone
preordained life / free will
 
these philosophical ideals and questions raised in the scene are all metaphysical ones. I hope this isn't going beyond the "reach scope" of your minds it's just all snowballing for me...
 
I also want to say I like the song.     

break up with your GF, let me move in
 
I stole your GF's keys, kicked her out of your place
 
.. wasn't lana sleeping on her ex bf's couch around this time?..

Not exactly in the style of Stevie Nicks', but I took inspiration from it. I'm not as good w photos as I am with audio. so enjoy, and give feedback so if I know to post more or not

I'm totally not bawling right now.

Living for this 2014 American Tour vibes look She just keeps looking better & better. Love her. Makes me so excited to see her!

God is a woman

I guess she and Johnny Blue Eyes aren't fighting anymore

She does have the eyes for it tho

I remember this was going around twitter and ig saying it was her grandmother

None of these people look like Lana except Priscilla and Sarah
 
Just because someone has long brown hair and a pointy nose doesn't mean they're a Lana look a like lol

i don't think any of these people look like lana 
the biggest look alike will probably be this unknown model in vogue 1969
most likely just because of the similar and heavily stylized make up tho.
