I don't get the hate for "Terrence loves you". I love that song. It's probably the best (promotional?) single of this era she released yet imo. I mean, it's not catchy as "High by the beach", but it's definitely amazing after a few listens.

After listening to HM and now thinking about it clearly rather than having my fan girl googles on I can honestly say that HM is well okay.Its just a typical Lana track and its quite boring tbh
Yeah the production and Lana's vocals are sumptuous.There's no doubt that Lana has definitely gone in the right direction there.Its just the lyrics and flow of the whole track that bothers me.Its verging on the point of parody sometimes.The -your a bad boy but I'll love you no matter - troupe is getting really old now but however I really hope that Lana dump some of the over used troupes this era.
That leads to one of my theories that the reason why Lana has given us the track so early is because she's ending this version/persona of Lana Del Rey (Hollywood,Drugs,Bad Boys etc) with the Honeymoon track itself and the rest of the album will explore the new "Other" Lana's new jazzy,surrealist,futureretro persona...
IDK I'm might be reaching tbh

Burnt Norton makes me very interested. I hope she included this part in the song.
It's so nice.

I hope it's sooner but I think it will be mid-August then the album mid-September.
MTWBT better have the same impact as West Coast/Ride then I'll be happy lol

Jesus fuck I'm so hyped. The poem is beautiful. I love discovering her cultural inspirations and I love when she uses them in her own work. Can't wait to see what she's going to do with it. I'm feeling this era so hard

no they are really not. It is FACT that H*lsey (stupid fucking name by the way) is completely unoriginal and had repurposed and plagiarised from other artists. It was only opinion that lana was "fake" mainly because of her lips

I don't feel that HM is a repeat of the BTD-Paradise sound. The production is stripped back and the emphasis is on her voice. Yes, there are strings but the music is way sadder, it makes my soul weep. The song requires some patience to really enjoy it so I kind of understand the people who don't like it. This is closer to clasical music than anyting she put out yet. I really like the jazz infusions. The lyrics became secondary to the somber vibe of the music and is a good thing for me because I wasn't a fan of the lyrics (if the lyrics would match the sound HM would resemble some of the Swans songs).
I think that the way that she released the song, on her YT account without a professional lyric video, suggests that there will not be any promo this time besides the videos that she shot already. I don't expect any interviews since she's constantly informing us on her instagram about her process of making the album. She seems to isolate herself from the press as she did it during her tour. Maybe she's finally getting fed up with them and I'm with her on that. She doesn't care about her commercial viability and she clearly choose to step back from mainstream exposure. I don't even fancy her being played on the radio or singing on late-night shows. (imagine her singing HM after a brouhaha with some idiot talk show host who will ask her about SNL or why she named a song about DMD)
What is interesting that I didn't found any mentioning on her YT account that the song it's released under the licence of her label Interscope or Polydor. I think that this era will be a turning point in her career as it seems like she is forcing things to happen in a certain way. She seems totally in control of the release and this means little or no label support, just Lana and us and I'm here for it

It's so Lynchian and I love it so much. I love the idea of this bring the opening track and the rest of the album sounding like that hauntingly beautiful outro. Lana has somehow outdone herself again

Seriously, I cannot die without that intro's studio version leaking or something, it's so good

Hope I'm not messing up the conversation too much by posting this, but I made a compilation of the 2 snippets that Lana shared with us, put them in the same pitch range, and bridged them together for easier listening

I already told @@GangstaBoy this, but I think Honeymoon will sound a bit like this:
The vocal harmonies and psychedelic pop sound of the snippets remind me of that.

OK but I would KILL for AFFA to be on honeymoon tbh. Paradise we got yayo, UV we got black beauty, its not that far off tbh. But imo AFFA fits the aesthetic of the album(judging for the HM lyrics and snippets) and I would love for it to be a bonus track (mostly because I NEED it on vinyl) [also I don't want it to be re-done its perfect already].

This song is giving me serious Mulholland Dr score vibes
Now I see what she meant with the surrealist, film noir references

You have a right to live your life
Like no one else does, like no one else might
If you have visions, come on and live them out
All you need is some peace while you are here
Just let go until you are home, dear.
I had a dream when I was young
I dreamt our lives were going to be fun
We were always waiting to live
All you need is some peace while you are here
Just let go of it all, dear
You have a choice to hear the noise
Or hear the sweet sound of your sweet voice.
I know I've heard it, I heard it in my sleep
All you need is some peace while you are here
Just let go, don't say no, dear
Wake up each night at the same time
Roll up the blind and look outside
And in the orange light, the fog is rising
This is life, this tonight, peace in the quiet
Happiness is the sky

HOW THE FUCK CAN U TELL THE SONG IS FILLER MATERIAL JUST BY LISTENING TO A LIVE ACAPELA SNIPPET???
I mean honestly...a live acapela snippet!? Think of your favorite song as a live acapela snippet! Can you even judge? Gosh...
The way she described this record makes it feel as if she has put special effort to it and I don't know...this time I have the feeling it's going to be different. We'll see though!

I am excited it is most likely going to be a 5+ minute long song (hopefully), as the first verse and the chorus alone were a minute and fifty seconds long, so when we add up the others, the bridge, and the instrumentation I can definitely see it as a long one
I'm all in for 5 minute songs with beautiful instrumentals
