I was literally thinking the same thing after listening to the album all the way through! I think the sadder songs (Terrence, GKIT etc.) are about Barrie, while the happier/dreamier songs are about her meeting and then eventually dating Francesco and thus the album is a story.

guyssss could the title honeymoon come from the deep relationship she had with barrie and then as soon as she cut him out of her life she started seeing fransisco. doing stuff like that is very dream like. having a dark relationship and then moving into something fun and sweet. i think she's singing about her time with barrie and her new life with fransisco and how it feels like some kind of honeymoon? 

Yeah I agree! I definitely got suicide vibes from the song! And I think "put your white tennis shoes on and follow me" becomes so chilling if you think of it in context of a suicide?

Yes! She looks like well-groomed, beautiful, radiating sicilian matron or dominatrix, maybe unbridled mafioso widow ready for new criminal excitements, even juicier and prettier version of Monica Belucci, bathed and baked in hot mediterranean sun scattered with crickets.

Food for thought: "That's the way I feel for you" makes me want to suck dick.  

Just a random thought, but- does anyone else ever think about what it would be like if Lana had reached this level of success as Lizzy Grant? I wonder if she would look the same as the trailer park days and still make bops. Would you stan?

I like how she's treating Honeymoon as though it were a living entity. The 'Honeymoon is alive and breathing' and yesterday 'Happy Birthday Honeymoon' and now 'Honeymoon is 1 day old'. It's like her child and it's apparent Lana is super proud of this album

lafleursavage and addicted-
 
actually that  is reminiscent of the Leonard Cohen Hallelujah song. It is a song about an orgasm and glorious sex using methaphors and not religious at all. But most of the hundreds who copied the song didn't realize it (and most don't copy
all the verses.
 
great songwriters and singers think alike.

Shit this record is really growing on me
 
I'm really creeped out by that sample of the man laughing in Salvatore

I HAD THE EXACT SAME THOUGHT! EVERY SINGLE TIME I LISTEN!

me all the time... I'm always like "i can't believe...im practically in love with a 30 yr old woman who I've never met" its weird ...thinking were literally one in a sea of faces that are almost constantly watching her... o.o

who is macmiller?

There are gaps between the first 4 songs. God Knows I Tried through Art Deco are all connected. Then there is a gap between that and Burnt Norton. Burnt Norton through Salvatore are connected. The last 4 tracks all have gaps.

Lol I think we're all like this. Some days I love Lana more than my boyfriend and it worries me.

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

Now I don't feel bad for stealing her promotional poster last year thank god

Picked up her V issue and a CD today. Really love this album tbh.
 
Also remember when I suggested people steal Honeymoon copies that were on shelves but couldn't be purchased...

Someone else agrees!!! It reminded me so much of old Hollywood movies in Little Italy. 

K so I'm coming back home, I'm strongly apologize bc I'm writing this getting incredibly hammered, basically she arrived 30mins late and stayed 2H LONGER. THIS GURL. SO GENEROUS. ANd she spent like not much time at all w me bc I was extremely stressed and I arrived and gave her the flowers and asked how she was doing and she said I'm excited! and her mascara was on point and I was hypnotised by her tattoos and hearing her laugh made me fucking pass out and she asked me where I was from n I said Paris and she said oooooh and then she asked my name and I had to show that I had written it on my arm bc I can't spell and SHE MISPELLED IT HAHAHA. I don't mind at all it's so cute she wrote Anne-Daphine instead of Anne-Dauphine. n these security fuckers were pressing us as f and so I only had the time to ask her for a kiss and I think she thought she wanted me to get a pic of it and I could only get one pic (but motherfuckers got at least 10...............................) so she took my ipod and took the pic but took it like one millisecond before.... THIS BINCH...... and so many people had so many more stuff, I HATE MYSELF for not bringing my UV and BTD vinyls, at least she got my letter and the drawing from boywonder, I wish I had more time, I wish I had another pic, I wish I didn't freaked out, but, whatever, and then I waited 3h with the lovely @@Degenerate and we saw her go away in her car and she's the sweetest and most beautiful woman on earth, she gave a lil girl who gave her a drawing a vinyl to sign it and said she paid for it
 
I'm 9656897% more in love with her than I was before, she's the first girl I asked and she didn't rejected me and I swear to God that made the Earth that I will never unstan, I love her for real, full homo, full love as fuck, full I'd die for you if you only blinked, full I'm dedicating my entire life to you now, full you're the only reason I didn't killed myself because I heard Next To Me and it changed my mind

the black and white was lana's idea..i'd bet 1/3 of my savings that lana went behind kinga's back to the editor and had some of the clips put in b&w.. and kinga didn't even know till lana leaked her own vid on youtube

Take me in your fast car, Mercedes
Kissing on your neck while you drive
He-he doesn't care, I'm always on my Blackberry
All the time, all the time, buying into every line
I'm a flashy little lush but he thinks I'm really fine
Notorious and wild, takes me where I'm gonna shine
Where the bad boys roll hard, dressing like James Dean
And the vixen starlets feel so good to be...

We're children of the bad revolution
And partying's the only solution
In our minds there ain't any confusion
About who we are and what we're gonna be
We're gonna get free
Free (x6)
Get free

Baby, we are chancers on the scene
Glamour in the gutters only so arty
Sick graffiti artists and tabloid queen
Mix it up, mix it up, every duel you ever seen
We're acting really tough, like the world belongs to us
'Cause it does, yeah it must, what we do creates the buzz
Where the bad boys blow smoke, just like they're James Dean
And the it girls blow kisses just like Marilyn

We're children of the bad revolution
And partying's the only solution
In our minds there ain't any confusion
About who we are and what we're gonna be
We're gonna get free
Free (x6)
Get free

We run for our lives, break out of our chains
So cutting edge, create our own games
DJs, rockstars, posers, we are the new politicians, the celebrity editions
And it's so pornographic and it's tragic that the magic makes us free
To be all we wanna be, wanna be

We're children of the bad revolution
And partying's our only solution
And I'm not seeing any confusion
About who we are and what we're gonna be

We're children of the bad revolution
And partying's the only solution
In our minds there ain't any confusion
About who we are and what we're gonna be
We're gonna get free
Free (x6)
Get free
We're gonna get free

Kinga Burza has dreamed up this picturesque video for Lana Del Rey's Music To Watch Boys To, with visuals that fit with the pop star's leisurely, dream-like aesthetic. The video exudes an unhurried sensuality, with shots of beautiful underwater lovers, slowmo b-ball and Lana lounging like an old movie star in a bygone world of classic cinema.
 
As the Burza describes below, the video was a true collaboration between artist and director, as Lana came to the project with visuals in mind, leaving Burza to "fill in the blanks," and put her own spin on Del Rey's initial vision.
 
 
 
FROM THE DIRECTOR
 
KINGA BURZA:
 
"Earlier this year I gave birth to my first baby and a few short months later, between burp cloths and milk-stained sheets of Mummy bliss, I received an unexpected invitation to break my so-called 'maternity leave' (which. let's face it, no one really takes seriously when you're freelance!). It was a request from Semera Khan to chat to Lana Del Rey to work on her upcoming video - an offer I really couldn't refuse.
 
"This was obviously a long term career fantasy of mine - ever since I saw her self-released video of Video Games, and that tiny gig I saw her play at Nouveau Casino in Paris back in October in 2011. Of course I was not the only one! She was on every director's dream list, and the videos she has since put out were always ones I admired wholeheartedly."
 
"Lana was also very involved right until the last moment with an eye that offers a lot of attention to detail, which I must say, was very admirable."
 
"So fast forward to a few years later, and with a baby on my breast I jump on a call. Lana is lovely, and I get excited that we share admiration for a lot of references. In one way she's open and mysterious but in another way she is very clear about she's envisioning.
 
"This is new to me. I'm so used to working with artists who often have no idea of what they want and need someone to fully take control of the reigns. But here I am, in a position which suddenly requires me to collaborate with an already existing series of particular images Lana had envisioned on certain lyrics and for certain set-ups of the track, but asked to fill in the blanks, put my spin on it plus make it make sense of it all - and fast! The label needed a treatment overnight because the video needed to be shot before Lana went on tour - meaning in like 10 days.
 

 
"Next, Partizan actually put me, my baby and my husband (who luckily happened to be on holiday during my pre-pro) on a plane before sign-off, the timing was just too tight. Not even five working days later we shoot the video - I have great memories of spending my adrenaline-high weekend rummaging through craft supply stores for flowers for Lana's headphones and vintage flea markets for her costumes with her wardrobe stylist Johnny Blue Eyes.
 
"The shoot is a blur - with so much to do, so little time. But it's an enjoyable day nonetheless, thanks to Lana's British glam team who are a delight to work with, Rob Witt who lensed our cast beautifully and Alex Delgado who created the dreamiest set just as I had imagined it.
 
"Post-production was really relaxed- unlike the insane pre-pro, we had a lot of time to fiddle and try things out. So Julia Knight my editor, and the post house District Digital the may never want to work with me again!
 
"Lana was also very involved right until the last moment with an eye that offers a lot of attention to detail, which I must say, was very admirable. For someone who I imagine must be so busy with the everyday duties of being who she is, Lana has a lot of time for all aspects involving her artistry and the image she puts out."

To me, this looks like truck driver Lizzy on the road for too long without having a good, relaxed smoke somewhere in the middle of Texas while blaring Bruce Springsteen on the radio and looking for her place in life. 

That looks like us waiting in line all night long before her concert, chain smoking and sleeping on the concrete while cars were passing by. Replace the puffy red coat for mom's old yellow mustard sleeping bag from the 70s and you get the picture.
 
Lana, how does it feels to lay on the concrete? Not so bad heh? Well, you didn't wait 20 hours at 50°F at night and 90°F at noon.
 
Still, it was worth it
