LMAO DKASKDAKDAK not y'all gagging me! well, anyways happy holidays!

Y'all after watching the MV a few times I've thought about how if you read the lyrics, it's obviously about someone only wanting to sleep with Melanie (idk if I can say the word on here). But the concept of the music video leads me to believe that the song could also be about someone or a group of people (her label or her fans or both) or people in general who only want Melanie to act a certain way or they want her to look a certain way. It was a video game where Melanie isn't in control. Someone else is. If y'all have anything to add please do bc I'm going to need more time to think about this. I just LOVE the concept.

On October 23rd, 2023, Lana Del Rey was photographed by Collier Schorr in Los Angeles, California for Harper's Bazaar December 2023/January 2024 Art Issue.

 
 
Behind the Scenes:
 

From neil’s tumblr

Shameless promo but edited it to have the same kinda background as future starts now.
 

It's not her standing up to the BS rumors that bothers me, but the fact that she's pretty much only been showing up and speaking as herself lately when she's checking fans on social media, or on the radio in full costume with some awful voice filter.
 
It doesn't feel like we're really getting Melanie Martinez anymore, or even getting her full "vision" for Portals because she's insisting on waiting until her film gets greenlit(which may never happen) to give us the full context for the album. What's the point? This whole era and new persona of hers is just so far removed from all of the things that made her past work so special, IMO.

Y’all Americans are SO annoying “she’s not coming to my state” WHO CARES Lana hasn’t been to Australia in 6 years I would travel across the country and even to New Zealand to see her SHUT UP. This goes to all y’all West Europeans too. “I Hope she announces more dates for *some place she just went*”PLEASE you just saw her and are already thirsty for more I’m PARCHED
 

DEATH ("interlude") ???

Hope performance 😭 
 the ending where they take her away… it reminded me of Fingertips where she says “what kind of mother was she to say I'd end up in institutions?” I think she’s representing her past (the AA meetings when she sings the Bowery bums part) but also the dramatic future her mother had imagined for her when she was a teen… cause she probably told her she was “crazy” 

so far for 8/3 we have:
- upside down phone for anti-hero and vigilante shit (track 3 and 8) 
- Speak Now social media layout was taken down 83 days after the announcement 
- “Exile” was released as a single 8/3/2020; and in the bejeweled MV it says “exile ends” 
- Selena Gomez giving out tickets to the 8/3 Eras Show 

I don’t think I missed anything?

Over the weekend, Lana Del Rey had a recording session at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Sheffield, Alabama.

If Living Legend, Nectar of the Gods and Cherry Blossom had never leaked, she couldn't have put them on the album as she downloaded them from YouTube.

hyde park!!!!!
 
i have a special song for y'all!!!...
 
..ah... ah.. a-ah-ah...
...... ah.... ah.... ah..
 
...... walking is an art.... so is my body.....
 

i love that she incorporates her old lizzy videos into her shows…sometimes it felt like she didn’t acknowledge/was embarrassed of her some of her older shit so seeing her put it on the big screen is cute

ok so the photos r actually outrageously blurry (like rlly bad) you’d think i was taking them on a nintendo ds and i look like i’ve been dragged through hell.
she was the sweetest, she came up to my friend and i and said “you two dollies” and held our hands (never recovering). i have three videos of our interaction which i’ll share once i have more brain power :))

The crazy thing is she upset more people for changing the lyric than she would’ve if she kept it. Anyways, I hope the rest of the rerecordings are good and aren’t just inferior versions like on Red TV. Mainly excited for the vault tracks.

what’s the point of changing the lyrics to a rerecorded song…like don’t you want people to stream the rerecorded versions only instead of the old one? it just doesn’t make sense especially since NO ONE cares about that btr lyric, every fucking month i see the same “hehe i’ll give up feminism for this song” joke like people love the song. no one is complaining.  
edit: it’s inevitable that some annoying sjw might complain but that is the extreme minority and will not affect her sales/reputation in any way. 

OMG baby Phoenix will perform too! 

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”
