    It's kinda dumb how they used the song for the trailer and never release it, but I think they intended it that way. If you see the movie poster with the credits on it, Lana wasn't mentioned like Big Eyes and Hi How Are You Daniel Johnston. I still don't really understand why they wanna do that, but I figured maybe Lana's voice in the trailer will help them to gain more audience to watch the movie? Possible.

    Lana Del Rey, please stop doing this to us like Life's Beautiful. Btw, is Lana starting to make a new album again? I still want my Life's Beautiful and I hope this song will get release too.

    The more I read about and seen videos about how Lana treats her fans remind me of Amy Winehouse a lot. A very talented and tormented artist that been through hell, but yet so loving and humble. It's never about making money like most artists, but mainly doing it for the sake of art and music. I love artists who are like this, sadly, there isn't many. I really hope she'll release Life is Beautiful online. I mean with songs she covered on Youtube like Summer Wine and Chelsea Hotel No. 2, any artist would've take the chance and make money off it if they're doing it. So it's refreshing when an artist comes along and just does her own thing breaking away from the conventional artist and their doing too. Having said that, I wish Amy Winehouse is still around. It would be interesting to know what she thinks of Lana, I think she'll love her too.

    Let's be frank, I really doubt Lana will win any Grammy at all. Grammy is rubbish in my opinion, like 90% of the artists who won Grammy anyway. You don't need Grammy for approval. Lana is one of those artists that deserves more than any award out there. I'm happy for her if she'll win any, but I couldn't care less. Grammy's opinion is rubbish anyway!
     
    P.S. I think Lana should move to Island rather than this stupid record label. It's stupid!

    Okay, I've really enjoyed just lurking in this and pre-release threads (latter was lots of fun and got me through several days of unpleasant illness). But here is where I can't stay silent, I'm afraid. I mean no personal attacks or arguments because I perfectly understand frustration. You really like/love someone's art and they prefer to go in hiding rather than share more of it with the world. I've been there. Really irritating, I know. 
    But about that last sentence. I heard it before. I had a conversation with a middle-aged lady who really meant well. When she asked me whether I plan to have kids and I said "No," she basically answered with the same words. Being able to become a parent is such a precious opportunity, and many people would kill to have it but they can't have children for medical or financial or other reasons. And I "throw it away." I really do because I don't want to use it. Guess for some people it's the same with career/artistic opportunities. 
    Does Lana effectively use all the opportunities she has? No. But who of us really do? After all, using opportunities is not an obligation, it's a choice. Talented people aren't obligated to use their talent to maximum just like fertile people aren't obligated to procreate. So while I understand and - to a degree - share frustration with Lana releasing an album with lots of potential and abandoning it when it could possibly grow into more interesting things and attract more people, I don't think even dedicated fans are in position to tell what Lana needs. We can only speculate about what we'd like her to do and how. Only Lana know what Lana needs and why she handles her career the way she does. 
    Again, I'm not against criticism or pointing out obvious facts (like, lack of promotion hurts sales), but sometimes it almost sounds like some people believe that an artist has some sort of obligation to them or to the world in general. Since when? If they want to waste their talent, that's their choice and it's completely okay. 
     
    On topic: though her releasing new album so soon after the last one made me have some doubt about its quality, and though nothing can replace UV as my favorite Lana's record, in the end I'm quite happy with Honeymoon. Despite having numerous flaws that were pointed out here several times already, it does offer something new, it's just as atmospheric as previous Lana's material, and for me it's strong enough to stand on its own, without any additional stuff like music videos. It's lush, it's heartfelt, it's unlike any other stuff being released nowadays, it even has some (intentionally or not) funny moments (seriously, I laughed several times during first listen).

    I think Lana is still finding herself in making music. Hence, you see her growth in every album. And she's maturing nicely. I mean I don't doubt that she knows what she wants though, but making music is a whole different thing, I think.
