Ditch the italian sausage and write songs about your aggressive manager Lizzy omfg take off your business suit sitting on your lap for my interviewwwww

I apologise in advance about how much fake deep and arrogant this is going to sound, which is a shame considering how dead serious I am, this is the realest talk ever for me and I'm genuine.
 
I've thought really deeply about this, I've had this thread in mind for days, and actually, I can count people that physically changed my life on the fingers of one hand and she's most definitely amongst them. I realised that in the 8 months that I known about her, I've wrote a twenty pages academic essay on her, I've read several books and watched countless movies when I dislike doing both just because of her, I have 5000 pictures of her on my computer meticulously classed, and I entirely based my first public exhibition of my career as an artist on her and the ghosts of her. My essay also is leading me directly to my thesis subject which hasn't been researched yet so she may be at the origin of my potential career success. And yes, on top of that, she changed my very tastes, she made me appreciate coffee when I despise it and I switched from Coca Cola to Pepsi, Diet Mountain Dew is now my favourite drink ever, she made me discover that I have kind of a daddy kink but for women and because of her intense femininity she made me realise I was definitely bisexual and she taught me to accept it by teaching me to unapologetically accept who I am. I've never, in my entire life, related to someone that much. This is for another thread but it blows my mind how different yet strikingly similar we are. The most ironical part for me is that I hated her with a passion back in 2012, I remember despising how cliché and plastic and "tumblr hipsterical grunge" she sounded and looked, but in December 2014 I was looking for a subject of research for my essay for my course at uni on fans and amateurs experts, and out of pure sheer genuine curiosity I decided out of the blue to do the experiment of "taking the place of a Lana Del Rey fan" and see how it would go, as for example I have an incredible, extreme fascination for the pictures of fans kneeling in front of the H&M adverts. Needless to say, about 30 pages into Lanalysis I was so hooked that I dreamt about her constantly. I remember, I think I became a fan the exact second she points the microphone at the crowd crying in the chorus in the Video Games Vicar Street video. It was like touching her soul. I started watching and listening to her music and interviews compulsively and was so taken aback by the quantity as well as quality of it, it made me respect her so much as a creative hard working person. I'm so glad I've been through this. She's too famous for me, she'll never know I exist and I probably will never go to a concert of hers because I couldn't bear the preparation emotionally, but it's cool, I prefer to keep the perfect idea of her I have in mind and for some reasons I honestly can't explain I'm extremely seriously in love with both her and the idea of her. I've never been a fan of any """famous popstar""" before. This is still so new for me, and so delightful, I think that one of the biggest things she changed is my acceptance towards my own tastes, like I'm *mostly* still ashamed to say I'm a fan of hers and I really don't look like a lipster at all for whatever that means, but I used to dislike pop and charts music by default just because it was mainstream and I facepalm at my old self every time I have the extreme pleasure of listening  to practically any of the around 500 songs of hers I now have in my library.
 
I'm a very lambda fan, really the basic fangirl, but I know for a crystal clear fact that without her I would never have had the balls to accept that it's not necessarily something to be ashamed of and that it can be turned into raw, pure creative and artistic energy. God, I'm so thankful for her existence 

I completely agree, she's more and more eloquent and less and less apologetic. And no worries

It's really one of the things I love the most about Lana, her obstinacy, her obsessive passion for what she does best. This is so extremely inspiring as a person wanting to succeed in my own craft. She's got absolute blind trust in what she's doing and she works her ass off. It may have took her ten years to get what she wanted and it might not have been what she expected, she still made it. And that's the biggest goals I can think about. She makes me believe in my dreams and I adore her for that and so many other reasons.

I'm violently bawling this is a God sent thank you so much for sharing

I'm really surprised it wasn't released yesterday tbh, so I think it's just coming tomorrow by the bbc like it was supposed to to avoid leaks

I can but there's already a thread specially for that? So idk? But I totally can

Tbh if it's not what she implied I'm gonna be really astonished. This and "dying by the hand of a foreign man happily" this whole album is incredibly evocative in the best possible way

I thought that I'd be done with her for a while but the more time passes the more I love her. It's been several days since I first heard the songs and I still am not over them which is surprising considering how easily bored I get and how much I replayed the UO recordings. I know I did a review already but I'm not saying this album is my favourite for nothing. Even if I set aside the fact that I'm desperately madly in love with her own person in the most down-to-earth meaning, in terms of music, I strongly think it's the best album I've heard yet. I don't really like to watch movies, I think that I'm getting more emotion with music, but Honeymoon is extremely visual so it's the best of both worlds. Each song is even more pictural and atmospheric than in UV. Her vocals are flawless, the bit I have right now in mind is TBD's bridge for instance. I can't talk about each song individually like some do for some reasons, as I consider HM to be really like a movie with some chapters. I'm extremely thankful for the images and inspiration it brings me. I have fantasies of exactly what she described of what she recalled of making the album. Late night car drives, long beach walks drinking from the bottle, passing the night in a modest motel, stopping for a coffee in early mornings and buying fresh flowers, really this kind of typical american beat dream but in today's world, mixed with exotic recollections of summer holidays in the wildest parts of Italy, I don't even know, each song is a like a cohesive part of a puzzle representing Lana's soul and mine by extension. I hate how being a Lana stan is considered hipster or ~tumblr because it's actually enormously deep and beautiful, not just a white girl aesthetic or something. I love everything that makes her, I love the fact that she loves jazz even though I don't like it myself, I don't know how some people can even care about if she's fake or not, I'm myself so blatantly true and I can recognize when someone is too, I love how so much things in her are coherent and how happy and proud she is of this album because I have the intimate conviction it's her most personal sonically, even if it doesn't have the disarming rawness of UV, I remember I already had this feeling when she started to show everyone on instagram, it feels more herself than the others because it's like each part that helped her make it is itself a part of Lana, it's not just work, they are her friends and she was very involved. I don't mind the cheesiness of the lyrics. I feel like the production choices, the melodies, how much the vocals are improved, and how much it seems to mirror Lana, are what makes Honeymoon the album with the best overall quality that I have personally ever came across.
 
I think it's fair in order to appreciate this album a maximum to also talk about what could have been even better, as anyway I'm not Lana so there will of course be some things I respectfully disagree with. For example as always her favourite songs are the ones I appreciate the less and Terrence Loves You makes me emotional in an uncomfortable way, so does Honeymoon. I also disagree with the fact that honeymoon is the best title for this album, even though I must admit that it represents the record well in its entirety. I love Chuck's photography, but I do not think that the cover represents the album the best. It's not that I have something better in mind, I just never thought Lana's covers were the most powerful ones.

I've found some HM promo completely by chance while going to find her a florist to give her blue hydrangeas for tomorrow!!!! It's a giant screen so I couldn't take good photos but I'm so motherfucking hyped I can't even swallow I'm DYING of stress!!! I'm so glad she's doing promo!! 
 


Btw I went to Rough Trade again to see if they're starting to prepare things up but nah. I looked on the events poster and Lana is NOT listed. So I'm thinking it's a last minute move from her just out of promo and love for the fans. Fml. I adore her.

I'm really surprised it wasn't released yesterday tbh, so I think it's just coming tomorrow by the bbc like it was supposed to to avoid leaks

Honeymoon tbh but I can't believe I'm saying that UV is godly

I'm violently bawling this is a God sent thank you so much for sharing

ALL IVE BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST DAY IS VOMIT BUTTERFLIES AND SCREAM THAT I ADORE HER I JUST CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE IDK WHY I LOVE HER THIS MUCH BUT ID DO ANYTHING FOR HER FOR REAL ANYTHING IM SO THANKFUL FOR HER EXISTENCE I CANT BELIEVE IM STILL ALIVE BECAUSE OF HER I LOVE HER SO MMMMMMMMMMMMMUCH
