ULTRAVIOLENCE SCRAPPED VIDEO TEAS

Omg what does that mean? It's leaking???
 
Fuck my literal life

Flame so hot that they turn blue (mm-hm-mm),
Palms reflecting in your eyes, like an endless summer,
That's the way I feel for you,
If time stood still I'd take this moment,
Make it last forever,

Your head (?) full of fire,
I'm risin' up, risin up,
My heart loves full of fire,
Love's full of fire (adlib),

Baby if you wanna leave,
Come to California,
Be a Freak like me, too.

Thank God that the forum isn't down now

If Lana isn't doing the bond song I'll be so emo bc right now there's no other artist that could do it justice honestly

I had a bizarre theory about Honeymoon that I don't think anyone has brought up yet. Well, I feel as if Honeymoon has something to do with time. Honeymoon (the song) and Terrence Loves You use a lot of archaic vocabulary and phrases. For example, not many people use the phrase "neither fought nor found" but Lana does in the bridge of Honeymoon. Plus, she sings "never dare change thee" (which is simply an old word that was used to mean "you". Also note that my dictionary states that it should be "restricted to archaic or religious contexts", and obviously the song doesn't have a religious theme, so I feel like it's definitely supposed to be set in the past.) Lana's language in both Honeymoon and Terrence Loves You evoke a sense of formality that you don't usually hear in modern music. Also, from what has been described about Music To Watch Boys To (retro film noir) and God Knows I Tried (gospel song), it's quite possible to conclude the first portion of the album is set in the past, most likely in the Jazz Age in the 20's - seeing as both the songs at the start of the album have clear jazz influences. Gospel music also started to become quite popular just after the 20's, so it would make sense that it comes after the jazz-influenced songs.
 
As the album progresses, Lana has stated that it builds up to a lot of more mid-tempo and uptempo songs, which could symbolise the songs working towards a more present-day setting. High By The Beach sounds like it could be from the 60's. We then have Burnt Norton as an interlude, which, by the way, is a poem about time - how the past, present and future are all connected. This would make a lot of sense in relation to my theory of the album working with time. Lana also said in her interview with James Franco that the album then returns to its initial jazzy sound at the end, which probably means the songs slow down towards the end again (which could make sense considering there's a jazz cover to conclude). Also, 24 sounds like it could relate to this theme of time on the record.
 
Maybe the story is Lana looking into the future, "dreaming away" her life, and then around the interlude, she starts to return to reality. 
 
 
 

maybe lana is doing the bond theme, maybe the bond theme will be LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!

I'm dead. You're really the best covers maker. She should hire you your whole work is as iconic as she is in my mind, it's like indissociable.

A long stalled project because i'm bad at finalising things and compiling them. I think this album is so amazing and infinitely inspiring, what I really wanted to show was Lana Del Ray. The transition between Lizzy Grant to Lana Del Rey. I feel like the defining look of that is Lana in the short film Poolside. She looks insanely good there. All the images of Lana used in this packaging are screencaps from the short film which I have retouched and further edited to make look like official photographs and to improve the quality greatly for print. I used the official cover art as a main inspiration because I think even though it's very low-tech it still has a great atmosphere in it, so I wanted to create something similar. The atmosphere in this album to me is very noir-ish, so I chose to use all grayscale images in the booklet, an effect with sunken highlights which makes the images feel quite sultry.

Gatefold LP 12” Vinyl. 
The blue vinyl is the only striking colour here. It's a nod to Lana's homemade videos and her love for party store toy aquariums. It's the opposite to the yellow I featured prominently through the album design.
