The way my boyfriend began the process of getting an engagement ring yesterday and we want Say Yes to Heaven to be our first dance and this picture disc randomly comes out today.  The stars really are aligning for us!

Yup….YUP!!!

West Coast vs. A&W

Last night, Lana Del Rey stopped to meet Elle while shopping at Dillard’s in Huntsville, Alabama.
(yes, im aware there’s already a thread for this outing, but let me have my moment. & yes, I added a ton of the built-in IG filters to our selfie bc I had literally been sleeping in the car shortly before this and hadn’t touched up my makeup because I did NOT expect this to happen.)

“For Tunnel, I did not edit myself“
 
then why did you blur the word ‘mother’ on fingertips elizabeth 

I always loved this live rendition of Honeymoon. The bridge and outro are so good 
 
 
The sound felt like a continuation of Ultraviolence. I wonder if the early versions of the song sounded like this. I wonder if we ever had a studio version sounding similar to this.
 
Maybe leakers can do something special for Honeymoon's anniversary 
 

some people here should compete in this contest to honour Honeymoons birthday 😝 

The acoustic start, the reverb, the building beat, the tapping on the second verse, the acceptance of her worshipping this man, the strings…I have and will always say Religion is top 3

My favorite Lana album

On a more personal note, 2015 was a very transformative year for me. That's when I kind of started to define my personality, and the things I like, etc. Many contemplative / self-reflective albums came out that year, including Honeymoon, so it holds a very special place in my heart.
 
Also, Religion - Salvatore - The Blackest Day is her best 1-2-3 punch ever.

I have to admit that I'm not listening to this album much because I really have to be in very specific mood for this one. The intro of the title track is out of this universe.... I love honeymoon era so much  The richest production she has ever had for sure.

Happy Birthday Honeymoon  Forever one of my top Lana albums...
 
This is Lana's best-produced album so far. The creativity displayed in each song is insane. How they played with dream pop and ambient music and mixed them with progressive folk, PBR&B, electronic, trip hop, jazz and lounge music... and even trap. The amount of instruments through the whole project, it's all so rich and lush. It's abstract and artistic. It was grand yet minimalistic and detailed. Her vocals shine; I feel like Honeymoon was our first taste of Lana's more operatic singing, a technique we didn't fully get until Blue Banisters and Ocean Blvd.
 
I love every single song except Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood, which I still believe she didn't do it enough justice. With a different production (and no paper filter on the microphone), it could've been an incredible closer. Classic Lana stan opinion, but Swan Song should've been the closer track. When the album came out I wasn't a big fan of Swan Song and it stayed that way for many years, but in recent years I started to appreaciate it more and now it's one of my favorites. Simultaneously, I used to love Art Deco and now it's usually a skip for me.
 
In case you haven't seen it before, I wrote this for Honeymoon's fourth anniversary and I still stand by it:
 
 
HONEYMOON IS ALIVE AND BREATHING
 

 

Happy birthday to Lana's best album. Has been and still is my favorite Lana album, no new release has been able to test that. The album has aged like the finest wine and took the top seat with ease. I used to say HM was at the same level as my other favorite albums but overtime it has risen even higher than the others (and thats crazy power cause I'm a indecisive mother fuck) Every track is essential and beautifully crafted, its one of those rare albums where not a thing is misplaced. She really channeled magic during its creation. Even every outtake is nearly flawless and if finished could've easily been as strong as the final cuts. The production is perfection, I'll always worship daddy Rick u'll always be famous The level of intricacy and details woven throughout the album is unmatched. Her heavy involvement in the production is very evident and makes me wish she could evoke that same fire again in her newer releases. But this was also her vanity album, she truly made this album for herself with no one else in mind and it resulted in some of her best work yet.
 
And not to play favorites cause I don't pick favorites, I don't do that, I love all my children equally and its not a competition. But Religion is my favorite- I would list out my other favorites too but I could easily just list out the rest of the tracklist so it feels kinda redundant ?? Swan Song and Art Deco you'll always be famous, TLY Honeymoon and MTWBT as well !!  And I'll be that bitch who says it but the standard cover art is BEAUTIFUL.. It is simplistic yet captures the energy in a effective way. The visuals in general are iconic too with that big ass red hat and those fuck ass bangs. Baby channeled 60s fashion david bowie signaling thru 18 giant satellite dishes in the san augustin plains calling from the other side, Terrence? hello?? Also this is an unpopular opinion but Art Deco-Burnt Norton-Religion is still my favorite 1-2-3 in Lana's discography, just so stunningly beautiful. I hope one day Lana can create something as ethereal as Honeymoon again. Anyways happy b-day babygirl♡ 

No repress today unfortunately  Whatever happened with the NFR repress also caused this one to get delayed or canceled.
 
Last month Universal Music told some of their customers that a repress is coming so plans for this definitely existed.

Personal but 2015 was a very formative year for me. 
 
I turned 18 years old in January. In March I traveled and got on a plane for the the very time.  In May I moved out on my own away from my family for the first time. In June I saw Lana live.
Honeymoon was released in September & then in October my grandmother who id lived with from 11 years old up until that year, passed away unexpectedly due to a car accident. 

this album along with ultraviolence is so incredibly special to me. The whole year is one of the biggest blurry nightmares of my entire life while simultaneously being one of the most fun and interesting. It’s a strange feeling. The music captures what I felt at that age so perfectly but has also aged with me like fine wine. I understand her now more than ever, we are in sync more than ever. I am so deeply thankful that these two albums exist and I will never stop shoving them down people’s throats and explaining why they are definitely going down as two very important parts of music history. 
 
Honeymoon, you are criminally underrated and forgotten. But I love you & I think about you everyday (and listen) and I’m so thankful you exist. Happy birthday 💙
