It's subversive, submissive, surreal? I enjoy the unique aspect of her "subliminal message" billboards. I think it's an aesthetic preference of minimalism and allowing an image to capture people's attention (instead of brazenly promoting the album) with loud ass fonts and begging you to "BUY HONEYMOON!!!". Lana has obviously shot way more footage than we have access to (yet), so this may be an outtake she really liked and wants to use it simply because she likes certain details of the image. http://www.starlinetours.com does tours of celebrities homes in LA. After the message that HBTB video sent, this seems to be a cheeky, aha picture, cuz LOOK who's stalking the celebs now?? LANNNA up in that Starline Tours Truck. Also maybe she just wants traffic to come to a crash because all the shmeeple will be confused like "What is the message? what is it selling or telling me to think??? AH I can't think for myself!!"  *crashes*

"Like an Anonymous Lover~ The Camera Followed Her On Her Tours and Journeys, Weddings and Honeymoons"
I'm sad that these aren't the lyrics of Honeymoon tho   

The only reason I ever wanted unreleased stuff to get put on albums was so she'll sing it live (and better recordings for the handful of good LQ stuff). Now that she's singing them anyways I'm fine with all new songs on the albums, unless it is reworked way beyond what it originally was (i.e. Methamphetamines/Old Money).
 
 
 

Lol. Y'all don't know anything.
They may be on it. They may not. Nobody knows.  Knowing Lana one of the m could appear in a reworked version as a Deluxe track. Or it may just mean nothing and she won't perform them ever again.
Stop acting so condescendingly

Oh my god, those video snippets of Lana performing SK + YCBTB in Texas...
 

They are nice little things for the fans and the cover of Do Right will not be on HM (there will be a different cover)
 
I like that she includes more upbeat songs in her setlist now though, You Can Be The Boss, Off to the races, Us Against the World are more lively than any of the songs she regularly performed on her previous tour. If this is any indication of what she is into nowadays / what kind of songs she feels like singing, then maybe we can expect Honeymoon to be a more upbeat album too with faster songs. (can you even imagine? Songs in the vein of Florida Kilos/OTTR, it would be lovely )

Then how do you explain Leonard Cohen? Over 80 years old and hotter than ever. With NO hit singles, and in his entire life, one top 10 album.
He sells out Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall and only does it with his lyrics, which is poetry.
 
The vast majority of hit tours now are by artists who were from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s who have kept their entire fan base (those still living of course) and do so with zero new product, or when a new record comes
out, it does not sell well, except for the fan base.
What about Garth Brooks? He retired for 15 years, came back, radio won't touch his new stuff, but he is setting records in concerts left and right (and not only that, he is now free to be the liberal he always was, but had to hide
when he was in the mainstream country market going for #1s on the country chart. Garth actually is a good example- he forced people to find him, to listen to him only on country stations and refused to release singles to the Top40
stations, and people did.
 
Maybe a good example is Matraca Berg. Mainstream country, pop or rock did not play her songs. Yet she now is in the songwriters hall of fame and others have sung hundreds of her songs.
And Matraca also had the problem of being taken seriously because of her really good looks.
 
Yes, art exists. Not everyone is in it for the money, and Lana don't need a penny, so no need for money.
 
Lana found and got fame, on her own terms, not on the old boys network way of doing things. That alone is why the old boys network hates her. Because they can't mold her or shape her, and they can't control her.
(see:Prince for another artist they couldn't control)  For too long record companies have ripped artists off.
Lana is doing it her way, not anyone elses way.
Whatever she does or doesn't do is 100% great by me, because it's her life and she is doing as she pleases.
(Perhaps some here while debating minutia are actually forgetting it's her life and she is doing it on her own terms, and in her private life, she seems happier than ever. Maybe thinking otherwise is just thinking wrong.
 
The 27 narrative right before UV after all was the media picking up on a wrong fact. She was never 27 at the time, she was 28. But the media writes what they want, and ran with it.
Lana outsmarted them, and Lana outsmarted Sam Smith. Lana got the #1. Sam still hasn't gone higher than #2. I doubt anyone will remember Sam ten years from now, there will be 100 newer more relevant people than him.
 
But Lana will still be singing (perhaps as Elizabeth by then, perhaps still as Lana).
The one shame is, she didn't get the chance with Lou Reed. That would have been major.
 
and Lana is always one second away from releasing one of her many unreleased (and future unreleased) pure pop instantly catch and trendy songs that would instantly go to the top
but she doesn't. Because that doesn't fit with what she wants. But we all know them because we are lucky enough that Queen of Disaster and Pale Moonlight and the others were put out there so we can hear them.
Which is more important in the world? Writing a song or making a buck? The power is in writing and creating. The creations are there already.
A true artist creates, not sells.  (like most actual paint artists, they are not famous until decades later).
It is two different areas of being. 
 
Lana in her sleep could snore a song ten times better than the new Britney/Iggy song Pretty girls, is that really what anyone here would want Lana to become just to have a number 1 song?

i love lana

well this topic took a sharp turn

they won't if she keeps going like she is since UV. If she manages to step out and deliver proper eras, she has a great chance of having a very, very long and successful career.
It's up to her.

@@LittleFool -
John Lennon threw up before he performed, he had a fear of the stage, Carly Simon does too, especially in her hit making days.
Brian Wilson spent 2 decades away from the stage and preferred the studio.
 
I think other artists over time are going to have #1 hits with Lana's songs, and I also think Lana will get billing on some major hits that use her lyrics from her.
Now that Marvin Gaye's estate won their lawsuit and now that Bruno Mars/Mark Ronson's song recently without a lawsuit added 5 new songwriters to the credits, I think we are going to start seeing in the next five to ten years,
Lana winning a lot of awards as songwriter and eventually being in the Songwriter hall of fame, which includes not only recent people, but songwriters from every single era in music. While not as flashy as the Rock hall, in some ways just as or more important.
 
I for one am happy for the chance 13 months later to see another tour, and a new album in the works.

Well, I don't care what you think about charting but I'm talking for my own experiences on artist I like and I DON'T want Lana to be mainstream. I'm happy to know she can make good quality Pop music but that's NOOOOT all I wanna hear, over and over during the same album. I know for sure she will chart with some of the Mark Robson tracks but I'm not expecting to hear the same song with another titles and different lyrics a during Honeymoon. I wanna hear something different while the rest of the world is listening to the charted track.
 
I'm aware she needs to promote herself but she doesn't need to be a promo-whore. Eventually she can play epic performances, acoustic versions or nice arranged songs like Ride or that Born To Die version on BBC Radio5. Of course being supported by a great video, with a nice theme. Im not happy with the UV iphone video, but thats her essence isn't? That's what she used to do when she wasn't famous.
 
I need to see the cover for this album. I hope she keeps the official font and the frontal picture of herself. The rest visual art, I don't care.
 
And fuck you to anyone who compares Lana to Taylor Swift, you should be fucked by something bigger than a whale and die…

Do we know if she has a mental illness though? Having several myself, I relate to some situations she has been in. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't excuse shitty behaviours at all, I probably would be immensely pissed if she cancelled on me without valid reason, but it at least explain. I recall her mentioning that doctors haven't been able to diagnose her or something like that. I always wonder what's the part of truth and the part of romance. Is she really sick, or does she like to think she is, for marketing or artistic reasons, etc? I know it's a question long debated, and I do believe she's genuine, but after reading the Rolling Stones interview on here Dublin's Video Games performance, and after hearing in the Versailles interview that she first and foremost does things for herself, I am strongly concerned with what direction she's heading. On one hand I immensely enjoy her music and would love her to make some until I die, and the other hand I lover her to death and want her happiness before everything. Unfortunately, I'm not quite sure these two notions are compatible these days. 

LMFAOOOO 
Yeah, she just didnt want to perform her music anywhere, she cancelled all her promo like lol. I mean i do think she's afraid of it and i understand but she's the one that wanted to be mainstream and went to a big label. 

Last year when there were rumours for another UV video and it turned to be the OUAD remix, her account was also updated but never had any UV video so I'm sure it's just the vevo playlists. 

That one time her acc was updated with another private video and it ended up being the SS remix

I met Lana yesterday at a gay bar and she told me we'll have to unlock Honeymoon. We have to get married with our sugar daddy and plan a L.A. honeymoon for summertime. Once a great number of #Lipsters do that we'll get to unlock Honeymoon. She also said that was the same method for us to get PWYC video but we weren't pretty enough while crying so she scrapped it

We also said this, but then remembered the Tropico trailer or the Paradise trailer were set to private (I don't remember which one).

This used to make all of us so excited pre-West Coast, but then we learned it says that any time playlists she is a part of are updated.

so I have this idea..and idk if anyone else has come up with it but.. i feel like the title "Honeymoon" may refer to the honeymoon period of not only a relationship or marraige but also perhaps, the honeymoon part of the abuse cycle. 
 
 Reconciliation/honeymoon[edit]The perpetrator may begin to feel remorse, guilty feelings, or fear that their partner will leave or call the police. The victim feels pain, fear, humiliation, disrespect, confusion, and may wrongly feel responsible.[5]
Characterized by affection, apology, or, alternatively, ignoring the incident. This phase marks an apparent end of violence, with assurances that it will never happen again, or that the abuser will do his or her best to change. During this stage the abuser feels overwhelming feelings of remorse and sadness, or at least pretends to. Some abusers walk away from the situation with little comment, but most will eventually shower the survivor with love and affection. The abuser may use self-harm or threats of suicide to gain sympathy and/or prevent the survivor from leaving the relationship. Abusers are frequently so convincing, and survivors so eager for the relationship to improve, that survivors who are often worn down and confused by longstanding abuse, stay in the relationship.[7][8]
 
i know this sounds like a reach.. but its at least notable that right after lana releases an album about an abusive situation, she releases one called honeymoon.. its also interesting how.. ever since the release of UV she hasnt exactly been the most outgoing to her fanbase.. she (or at least her management or record label) scraped multiple videos they already teased.. not to mention,although lanas album was an extremely solid album.. it was sort of a let down compared to the over the top beauty and dramaticness of btd/paradise. in a way lana is almost an abuser to us in this situation.. but now shes feels remorse or guilt for what she did.. im pretty sure she said in an interview that she sort of regretted some of the things she did on UV because it was misunderstood a bit.  
so now lana is trying to pull us back in by going back to the way things were in the beginning. bringing back that btd/paradise sound and shooting new videos. 
 
also it sort of highlights how she feels her life is.. things go to shit.. but it all comes around and life gives her enough love and affection to go through it all again. its like a cycle. 
 
i also found that some of the lyrics from dont let me be misunderstood sort of fit this idea.
 Ya know sometimes baby I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And then sometimes it seems again that all I have is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side
 
If I seem edgy
I want you to know
I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems
And I get more than my share
But that's one thing I never mean to do

Cause I love you
Oh baby
I'm just human
Don't you know I have faults like anyone?

Sometimes I find myself alone regretting
Some little foolish thing
Some simple thing that I've done

Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
 
Last album lana released west coast first to set the mood for the record.. and although she hasnt released her cover.. we already know the lyrics.. they show remorse.. she is apologizing for her other side.. anyways.. sorry this is so long ...and sorry if its a reach.. i just figured i ought to say something
