Formation

Big updates! LPX and Alex are coming back together (and independent of a label) for one more release before formally disbanding. Bittersweet that the hiatus is ending only for them to go their seperate ways fully, but I'm glad they're giving us a little goodbye gift

This exit looked better in Chicago as she slowly disappeared into darkness. Also they executed it much better. Lana was pushing with her legs too, giving an illusion that she’s struggling to escape. I thought the whole performance was gonna be tacky but it was absolutely not. I really enjoyed the theatrical aspect. In fact, it left me so heartbroken. It was such a sad way to end the show but she is Lana. I really felt like I was having a look into her own world. When she turned around and looked at us saying “Except for the stage, which I also call home” she was kinda breaking the 4th wall. I don’t know, the whole performance was so personal in my opinion.

I just got back from watching Barbie and now I get fed these, I am eating so much today holy
 
Protect Me From What I Want is definitely the best out of these. With the exception of 'Who Do You Love', why do I feel like these are sort of glimpses of what DL3 could pan out to be? Maybe I'm delulu but I can't help but hear hyperpopisms in the other two tracks (PMFWIW & DWFM). With Danny L Harle supposedly being her lead producer on her new record, I feel like it's plausible. I can't get over the chorus on PMFWIW, her vocals were serving - they all sort of sound less finished that some of the earlier FN outtakes that leaked but damn with some better mixing and more additional elements PMFWIW could have been such a standout for me on FN. It's disappointing seeing so many good tracks shelved presumably forever, especially due to some of the tracks on FN and especially TME being easily replaceable, but I suppose they wouldn't have flowed as well as the original album did - here's hoping for an anniversary edition in 10 years time

that rockabye snippet sounds so much better than Anne Maries

A trio of Future Nostalgia outtakes l-worded today:
Who Do You Love?  - produced by Cirkut & Jason Evigan (2018) [dare I say the best FN outtake so far?]

Protect Me (From What I Want) - produced by Jason Evigan & Justin Tranter (2019)

Still in utter bliss from seeing her for two nights in Chicago. Both nights I was on the floor, but on Sunday I got Club Renaissance and basically at barricade. Seeing her so close was such a dream come true. When I saw her in 2016 I was blown away by the aura of power she gives off but this time I couldn’t believe the JOY she radiates. When she talks about being grateful you don’t just hear it but you feel it when she’s performing. It’s incredible. I’m so so so happy

Tiny thing but I feel like Jack's March 20th entry is isn't referring to the studio per se but rather LA. Obviously he is still saying that he's happy to come back to LA as much as needed for them to keep working together, but my sense is he's more so talking about her refusal to leave the city despite his feelings that its "never too easy here"

Just like previous TV’s, some are improvements while some leave me wanting to go back to the OG’s. The Vault tracks are cute! Cant wait for 1989 now

The blonde is slowly making a comeback

I’m currently making a writing/recording timeline for Honeymoon! if anyone comes across any information please let me know.
This is what I have so far
 
March 2014 - Sessions for Ultraviolence end
 
 
May-June, 2014: In an interview for Complex magazine, Lana notes: "I actually started conceptually thinking about having a supplement, an addition to this record ('Ultraviolence') that could come very easily. That hasn't happened in a very long time. Not since I wrote the "Paradise" to "Born to Die" that I really liked". Thus, it is likely that Lana's fourth project originally started as an accompanying ep to "Ultraviolence", which probably would have consisted of "Ultraviolence" outtakes and some new songs that were recorded in June-July 2014. But by September 2014, it was clear that the project would develop more, when the first sessions for "Honeymoon" started.
 
June 2014 - She records Music To Watch Boys To (Also titled Pink Flamingos)
Interviewer: Are You Going To Record Something Tonight? Do You Know What It Is, Or? Lana: I do, yes I do, I have an idea for a record called 'Music to Watch Boys To', so, yeah, I'm just thinking about it and what it will mean  
Lana began writing music for the soundtrack to "Big Eyes," which includes:
1. An “I Can Fly” rework
2. “Big Eyes."
3. “Beautiful People”
4. “The Good Life” Cover.
 
June 2014: She records Beautiful People (Demo 1)
 
July 30, 2014: She records her cover of “The Good Life”

August 2014 - A demo of Big Eyes is recorded

September 14, 2014 - Sessions for the album begin
 
Sep/November: She records Salvatore/Soft Ice Cream and Swan Song? (They were both recorded at Electric Lady Studios and she was seen on New York on those months)
 
Sep-Dec 2014: Dark City, Crazy For You, California, Honeymoon, 24/24 Hours, Dead To Me, Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood, Freak/Freak Like Me, The Balckest Day and a reworked version of I Can Fly are recorded
 
Latter half of 2014: A new version of Say Yes To Heaven produced by STINT is made, but was scrapped by being "too overwhelming"
 
 
Initially, "Honeymoon" developed more as a pop record, with a return to the "Born to Die" sound. This is indicated by several facts, namely the leaked demos of the tracks "The Blackest Day" and "Freak" (made by the same producer, STINT [Ajay Bhattacharyya]), further, in an October interview for "L'Uomo Vogue," Lana expressed her desire to work with producer Giorgio Moroder, who is considered the father of synth disco and electronic dance music, also one of the mixer/engineers said that the "Honeymoon" demos sounded like the 80s. At the same time, Lana was still searching for a sound: "I'm still looking for something different, with majestic choruses, beautiful orchestrations, '50s-inspired with a little touch of soft grunge." And at some point in the making of the album in 2014, Lana told Rick Nowels, one of the album's two producers, that she wanted to make a jazz album. That's how the tracks "Honeymoon" and "Terrence Loves You" came about, which Rick says are not pure jazz, but her "versions" of jazz tracks (the original title of "Terrence Loves You" was "Jazz and Blues ")
 
Early 2015: Demos of “Say Yes To Heaven” produced by Stephen Kozmeniuk and Tom Neville are made for the album because of a potential Hugo Boss campaign.
Ultimately the song was dropped from Honeymoon because of the campaign and neither version of the song was approved by Hugo Boss.
 
 
January 6 2015: She says she has written 9 songs, “four of which “the production is perfect; I’m looking for a few more songs to tie everything together” and I’m doing a cover of “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood.” She also reveals the tile of the album
 
January 13, 2015: Lana records Paradise
 
Jan-Feb 2015: Art Deco, Burnt Norton, Terrence Loves You, Come With Me, If I Die Young, Religion, God Knows I Tried/God Knows are recorded 
 
January 28: She is seen entering a recording studio with Mr. Brainwash
 
Jan - February 2015: Lana writes “High By The Beach”, “This was probably one of the last ones on the record”
 
Sometime in 2015: Lana sends a list of songs that need additional production, they were
Crazy For You
Freak
High By The Beach/Get High
God Knows I Tried/God Knows
Honeymoon
Salvatore/Ice Cream
Music To Watch Boys To/Pink Flamingos
Religion
Say Yes To Heaven
Swan Song
 
This means that Crazy For You and Say Yes To Heaven were serious contenders for the album

 

February 16, 2015: Lana says to a fan that she was done with Honeymoon
 
March 31, 2015: On an interview with Mark Ronson he states “I’m going to do some recording with Lana Del Rey today and tomorrow. I found this cool old studio out here.” “She has some songs and I said I had some demo ideas, and if they are any good, then maybe she’ll like them and we’ll go from there.” Later in a Reddit AMA he said “we did an early version of Terrence Loves You which i still love.”
 
June 24, 2015 - She posts a photo on honeymoon with the caption “So tired in the studio”
June 2015: She records Cry Kill Die and all additional songs are completed

In an interview, Lana revealed that she had written about sixteen songs for "Honeymoon," which turned out to be:
- "Honeymoon"; 
- "Music to Watch Boys To"; 
- "Terrence Loves You."
- "God Knows I Tried"; 
- "High by the Beach”
- "Freak";
- "Art Deco."
- "Religion." 
- "Salvatore." 
- "The Blackes Day"; 
- "24";
- "Sawn Song." 
- "California"
- "Crazy for You”
- "Paradise"
- "Come with Me"
- "Dead to Me".
- "If I Die Young"
- “Cry Kill Die”

September 2015: She records the first demo of “Lust For Life”
 
September 18, 2015: Honeymoon comes out
 
Somewhere in 2015: She records Gucci

I will not stand seeing GBA slander. Don't know what y'all doing if it's not Top 5

What melody does she self-sample at the end of each line of the verses? 

Sweet Carolina I think
I hear some of Life Is Beautiful too

"The first time I was on the cover of US Rolling Stone, I couldn’t believe it but what’s more unbelievable is 11 years later to be on the cover of UK Rolling Stone. That’s unfathomable. I can’t actually even register it. It’s wild.” I love this woman so much  so proud of her

3 years since Future Nostalgia came out. What a magical release for pop music. In celebration, someone should leak "Who Do You Love?"
