I was bored so while I was playing with the Soundcloud link I got the highest quality single cover
For people who stick to official (me) and original covers (me)

As someone who has been familiar with Daniel for decades now (I also once met him in Texas), already very familiar with this song.
Lana does a great job, and the great thing is, Lana is introducing who knows how many people to Daniel and his music. Which is what is so great about Lana.
Look how many people she has led people to- from Lou Reed and Nina Simone and Leonard Cohen and the hundreds of references in her songs to so many others.
To newer or obscure acts including Barrie.
Great cover, and the changing of the words from lifetime to long time in the last verse makes a lot of sense if one knows Daniel and his story and would not make much sense
with Lana.
Very proud of Lana for this.

"pink flamingos" from MTWBT and "being a bad bitch on the side" from Sad Girl suddenly sounds really similar, just a thought

The whole song sounds like Sad Girl. Honestly when I heard MTWBT the first I expected for her to say "PBiiiiieeeeeeing a mistress..." . The instrumental is so similar too.

Obviously no because there is an "n" sound after "kee" sound.. This is so weird Lana should make a lyric book real fucking soon

yourboy liked a post in a topic by VelvetNight in VelvetNight's Replica MTWBT Headphones- Tutorial
Hi everyone, I'm going to try to replicate Lana's MTWBT headphones for my Lana Del Rebirthday (commemorating the first time I saw Lana in concert October 19, 2014, which was when I started becoming completely obsessed with Lana). I probably won't make them in time for my rebirthday but I will try for Halloween.
http://instagram.com/p/7sqykPFnmg/
I figured I'll post a tutorial for anyone that would also like to be Lana on Halloween. I'm still waiting for the headphones to arrive from Amazon, so I'm going to update this main post as I go.
Materials
Headphones
Crayola Model Magic for making the frangipanis or you can order 4 foam frangipanis from ebay
6-8 Pink fabric/paper roses
Green ribbon or fake long grass/leaves
Pearl stickers or pearl beads
4 3D Star stickers or star beads
1 Bee charm
Glue
Blue Paint
Tools
Scissors Knife Pencil Small cup (I'm using an empty mini candle jar from Bath and Body Works) Paint brush Directions
Make the frangipanis (skip this if you have the foam ones). You can also watch Youtube tutorials by searching "make frangipani". You will need to make 4 flowers.
Make a teardrop shape stencil for the petals. Mine is cut from a foil wrapper. If you make if from paper, it will stick to the model magic, so use a thick plastic bag/foil packaging. Roll out the Model Magic. Trace your teardrop stencil on the Model Magic with a knife. Remove the stencil and cut the petal out. It's best to cut the petal out because it makes a nice smooth edge. Repeat 4 times to make a total of 5 petals. Pinch along the left side of each petal to make a raised edge. Smooth the outer edge with the side of a knife. Place the 5 petals in a semi circle. Pull the right side of the last petal under the left side of the first petal. Shape the petals to curve outwards. Place in a small cup to dry overnight. When dry, paint the middle of the flower blue. Glue a star into the middle of the flower. Wrap the head band of the headphones
Cut one piece of ribbon (we'll call this ribbon A) long enough to wrap around the headphone band from ear to ear. Cut another piece of ribbon (ribbon B) that is double the length of the headphone band plus an inch more. At the end of the left side of the headphone band glue ribbon B on the outside of the headphone band. Glue it more to the left so it's edge is along the edge of the headphone band. It should be in the direction parallel with the headphone band. At the left side of the headphone band, glue ribbon A on the inside of the headphone band so it's perpendicular to the headphone band. Wrap ribbon A around the headphone band until it reaches the right ear. Leave ribbon B outside of the wrapped headphone band. Glue the end of ribbon A onto the inside of the headphone band. On the loose end of ribbon B, wrap it with a bit of tape and cut the tape into an arrow. This will help you weave the ribbon. Weave ribbon B in and out of ribbon A. When you reach the right ear, start wrapping ribbon B back towards the left ear. Glue ribbon B down on the inside of the headphone band. Glue the flowers, pearls and bee onto the ears! (Almost done, yay!)
Position the front facing frangipani to your liking and glue it down. I wanted the red part of the headphones to be mostly covered. Glue the another frangipani facing the back. I put mine lower than the front facing flower so the top doesn't stick out behind the front facing flower. Glue the pink fabric roses in between the two frangipanis and cover the rest of the visible headphones with pearls and the bee on the left ear. Yay, now you can put on music to watch boys to! I will update with final product pictures once I'm done.

well said, exactly.
Exactly, so the privlidge often gets taken away. Its happened to so many artists over the years. Business is Music and vice versa..

Great post LynnLana
and to add-
Lana has now made 2 albums in a row that should be given Grammy's for
Best album of year
Best producer of year
Best song of year
Best record of year
Best video of year
Best alternative record of the year
Best artist of the year
that Ultraviolence didn't, well, that is not her fault
She should have won the Oscar for
Young and Beautiful from Gatsby
and been nominated for
Big Eyes (although perhaps I can fly would have been better)
If the Oscars had a best adaptation of a song like they do for screenplay
Once upon a dream should have won
Lana should have won Best new artist back in 2012
Lana has been nominated for two grammys in the past (including Album of year for Paradise)
She owes nobody anything and she cannot in the least be called lazy.
Her family history alone, she is the prime caretaker for years of her two sibblings (not her parents, she is). That is a big responsiblity
Lana has even in this album continually stated she loves music and the creation of music, the studio, the production, the mixing
That is what an artiste does
Lana also has had addiction problems, and being out of ones home or hometown, the temptation to fall back is so much greater than without ones support family right there.
(I know when I myself go away like a few weeks ago when I went to Canada, it was 30 meals out, and 30 meals I overate, gaining like 10 pounds in 10 days that I have to work off and I am already working off other LOL)
Lana also has stated she likes the "collective artist" environment, a close bunch of people, writers, studio people, her band that she can always do something with.
Perhaps in the future she will hit upon a place where she can play spur of the moment if she chose and people can come and see her in an informal setting.
or keep doing club dates
As she loves to be with the fans during the show in the front, a club situation is really a lot better than say Madison Square Garden where one isn't even seeing her, but watching the big screen.
She could always tweet that she is on the beach by the pier in Santa monica or at some coffee house in two hours and everyone in range can come and have an informal singalong or something
From all one reads, Lana looked very at ease talking to her fans in the meet and greets.
or she could just sit in her house and get high by the beach (which doesn't mean getting high by addictives either, it could as easily mean high on life, an affirmative saying
It's her life to do as she wishes.

Thanks to both anyways
I don't know if I have fat ears but I can't feel the aggressive sound
Maybe because I really always prefer the raw version

‚Honeymoon‘ doesn’t remind me of anything but Lana. Don’t waste my time with comparing it to other artist’s songs or even to Lana’s former stuff. ‘Honeymoon’ is fantastic and unique.

[Verse 1]
Give me all, got my blue nailpolish on
It's my favorite color and my favorite tone of song
I don't really wanna break up, we got it going on
That's what you gathered from our talk but you were wrong
[bridge]
It's not easy for me to talk about
I have heavy heartstrings
I'm not simple, it's trigonometry
It's hard to express, I can't explain
[Chorus]
Ever since my baby went away,
It's been the blackest day, it's been the blackest day
All I hear is Billie Holiday
It's all that I play
It's all that I play
[Hook]
Because I'm going deeper and deeper
Harder and harder
Getting darker and darker
Looking for love
In all the wrong places
Oh my God
In all the wrong places
Oh my God
[Verse 2]
Carry me home, got my new car and my gun
Wind in my hair, holding your hand, listen to a song
Carry me on, I don't wanna talk about the things to come
Just put your hands up in the air, the radio on
[bridge]
Cause there is nothing for us to talk about
like the future and those things
Cause there is nothing for me to think about
Now that he's gone I can feel nothing
[Chorus]
Ever since my baby went away
It's been the blackest day, it's been the blackest day
All I hear is Billie Holiday
It's all that I play
It's all that I play
[Hook]
Because I'm going deeper and deeper
Harder and harder
Getting darker and darker
Looking for love
In all the wrong places
Oh my God
In all the wrong places
Oh my God
[Verse 3]
You should've known better
than to have to let her
get you under her spell of the weather
I got you where I want you
You're deader than ever
and falling for forever
I'm playing head games with you
Got you where I want you
I got you, I got you,
I got you where I want you now
[Chorus]
Ever since my baby went away
It's been the blackest day, it's been the blackest day
All I hear is Billie Holiday
It's all that I play
It's all that I play
[Outro]
It's not one of those phases I'm going through
Or just a song, it's not one of them
I'm on my own
On my own
On my own again
I'm on my own again
I'm on my own again
I'm on my own again
I'm on my own again
