    I love the outtakes like Architecture and Yosemite and I'm very sure that Poetry In Motion and Everything I Do and Silverlake sound amazing too but I wouldn't replace any song from LFL. I love all the songs so much although I have hard time connecting with Groupie Love. But I really can't imagine the tracklist being different. It all makes sense for me. All the songs there have some kind of point (I posted about it in LFL's post-release thread). I mean I understand people who hate hip hop songs like the Rocky songs but still

    I think that NFR is an amazing masterpiece but I'm not like blaming you that you prefer and love something else instead of NFR. The thing is that Jack's production is not your cup of tea and I accept that. Although the "slander" tiny bit hurt me

    I don't know if any of you care about this or have seen this but I think it's a fitting thread to post this. It's the composite screen of Lust For Life title track with its 129 mixes/stems. Her mixers Kieron Menzies and Dean Reid shared this photo in an interview where they discussed about LFL album in general.

    What?! But California, Thunder and Dealer are some of the best songs she's released in her later career!

    Has he ever said how many songs were created for The Last Puppet Show collab album? I’m guessing maybe 15 to 25

    Also, people tend to forget that the version of TNBAR that was in NFR was already intended to be on the final version of LFL because in an interview in 2017, Lana said that TNBAR is about Topanga and such.

    Definitely under 100 because BOZ said that Lana never created over 100 songs during an era but LFL era sessions have the biggest amount of songs though.
    I realised that we need Mighty Mike outtakes because he was the additional producer for 13 Beaches and Heroin!

    I could’ve sworn it was a few months ago. I remember it being pretty vague too, didn’t really give many details (which doesn’t help us unfortunately)

    It was probably one of his 😍🚀❤ hype strategies

    This makes so much more sense, she still recorded it herself but Zach provided the instrumental

    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, Black Magic Stars, 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
     
    Fun Fact: 24 was originally recorded for the movie Spectre, but was ultimately rejected
     
    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 ")
     
    She also had this to say on the early process of making the record 
     
    “I wrote the biggest part of the record during fall, winter and spring, and it was a beautiful process because I did it with one of my best friends, Rick. My daily activities consisted on swimming on the beach and writing. The album started very easily and fun with songs like Music to Watch Boys To, Honeymoon and Terrence Loves You, and finally, it went through more modern and sexy songs like Freak and Art Deco. But the line that goes through the record has a lot of jazz influence.”
     
    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”
    - "Freak";
    - "Art Deco."

    - "Sawn Song." 
    - "California"
    - "Crazy for You”
    - "Paradise"
    - "Come with Me"
    - "Dead to Me".
    - "If I Die Young"
    - “Cry Kill Die”
    - “Black Magic Stars”

    September 2015: She records the first demo of “Lust For Life”
     
    September 18, 2015: Honeymoon comes out
     
    Somewhere in 2015: She records Gucci

    The way she  & Rick created such an amazing body of work,  a literal masterpiece with perfect production in such a short amount of time is insane
