    I don't agree that lana is necessarily too self absorbed to really think about politics or science, or whatever. I always thought her Lizzy Grant songs had this political element - like criminals run the world and children of the bad revolution. There's also the fact that she tweeted a video of Father John Misty performing Bored in The USA on the night of the American congressional elections last year. And then tweeted "so fitting"

    It happened in her Malibu house but it could have happened in Schwimmer House, it's ridiculously easy to find the address and there's a video showing the entire house interiors on YouTube, it's weird to explain bc I'm not in my normal state at all rn so I apologize in advance but it feels like on one hand she's getting paranoid, after reading the Billboard interview and stuff, but on the other she's... flaunting it for a lack of a better word? Using it in her work? In her very art? I mean that's what I'm starting to talk about in my thesis, songs like God Knows I Tried, and she's actively talking about paranoia and stuff not just mentioning it but putting it in spotlight? And I don't understand that? Like I wonder if I'm the one to blame here for having looked at the address when the house name was just mentioned, in this case her paranoia would be definitely legitimate, but the fact that she's using it IN HER WORK, and I'm particularly interested w HBTB being about fame, is making me wonder if it's just not that deep or if there's something behind, I'm interested in who's to blame here

     

    Did you listen to the interview, I think it was the Minneapolis radio station, where she said that one of the major themes of the videos she's done for Honeymoon is the fear of being watched in your own home? Actually this interview was so great for me because she explained that the beginning of the Honeymoon video was her sitting on a hill and the starlight tours van just happened to drive by on the road below, and Lana got so nervous and that just happened to be captured on the video. It made me so happy because somewhere on Lanaboards I guessed that the car that drives by was a starlight tours van and that's the connection to the album cover!

    All that we're trying to say is that Lana really should take SOME level of responsibility for all of this happening. She did show her entire house in a video so it is partly her fault... considering how obsessive her fanbase can be, surely she anticipated something like this would happen.

     

    Nobody would have known what house the HBTB video was filmed in, or even that it was actually her own house, if TMZ had not released the information about her buying a house in Malibu with pictures. On the other hand, even if she hadn't filmed the music video in that house, the information released by TMZ would still be out there for anybody to find.

    I think religion gets a little repetitive by the end, but when she sings "it never was about the money or the drugs, for you there's only love," it makes me feel so sad i could cry. I guess I would say that maybe the songs on Honeymoon aren't as easy to listen to as her previous songs, they are, in some way i can't exactly put my finger on, so much more emotionally affecting. that's why i find it so weird that so many reviewers described honeymoon as an album about emotional numbness. that's just not the feeling i get from listening to it at all.

     The fact that she only heard of DJ through Barrie is interesting.

     

    Something got lost in translation when they said she first heard of Daniel Johnston when she watched the documentary in 2005 with Barrie - either she watched the documentary in 2005 or she watched it with Barrie. Maybe she watched it with whoever was her boyfriend in 2005. I felt like the entire article was like that - manipulating things people said to make Lana look bad. Hard to tell the context the director told that story in either - did he say it lovingly, as a joke? The reporter made it sound like she basically stalked/paid her way into the film project.

    I love the lyrics on Honeymoon, I would always describe Lana's lyrical style as deceptively simple and that's one of the things I love about her. It's not just about the lyrics but the way she sings them, for example in Music to Watch Boys To, "I live to love you and I love to love you and I live to love you Boy" might sound kind of cliched, but the way she sings it gives the impression that she's faking it, she doesn't mean what she says but is just playing along, for whatever reason.
