I'm probably reaching here but I was watching this video of Pamela Courson and I noticed a vague similarity to the video of Lana we see in the Honeymoon audio video

Plus the photo of Lana and Neil that was recently posted reminded me of some of the photos of Pamela and Jim, for example this one

Lana obviously draws a lot of inspiration from the past but I feel like she often only does that because she likes its aesthetics. As a person who has loved the 20th century for years before I even discovered Lana, I cannot help but be put off by her just taking stuff from the past and applying it to her as it fits her. Although I can see that she genuinely likes some musicians of the past, e.g. Nina Simone.

Lana can't win first we were all like "pls stop posting random people and give us a song"
and she gave us a song and now we're all like "okay but where are the random people??"

Since Lana apparently stopped drinking I'd love for her to cover 'Twist In My Sobriety', one of my fave 80's songs. Has anyone heard it before? The mood and guitars would be perfect tbh

Honeymoon's a nice song, but it certainly doesn't seem like a step forward or "huge evolution" for Lana. It seems like more of the same persona she's actively cultivated since BTD - slow songs, lyrics about a bad boy, "cinematic." Sometimes I wish VG weren't the song that made Lana famous because it really locked her into that image. Most of the BTD demos weren't slow - just compare the incredible DP demo to the toned down final version. Unfortunately, I get the feeling that that's all Lana's gonna do from now on. It's gotten to the point where fans hoping for more upbeat songs are told off because Lana's "a sad person" and her music is "always gonna be slow." Brite Lites? Raise Me Up? Smarty? Queen of the Gas Station? Most of the BTD demos? Lana excels at doing upbeat music. The original VG demo was faster than the final version - Robopop were the ones who slowed it down to "a dirge" (their words). Lana's slow songs aren't more "authentic" or "her" - they're just what've made her popular. She has great uptempo and midtempo songs too, and wanting more of those doesn't make you a bad fan.
 
I also feel like a lot of people confuse the appearance of depth with the actual thing. Like Lana is a deeper artist because she writes slow songs and because she talks about metaphysics in her interviews. But if you listen to the lyrics... she's not writing about metaphysics. She's writing about love, bad boys, America, nostalgia, daddy, awkward drug references, sex, little red party dresses, the pale moonlight. That's not to say I think her lyrics are trash, because she manages to write about the same topic over and over and still make it pleasant to listen to. But I don't think she's more "intellectual" than her mainstream peers. She could go in that direction if she really wanted to, I think - Pawn Shop Blues is the song that really gives me that impression - but she seems pretty content where she is.
 
Big Bad Wolf isn't that bad. I mean, it's bad, but it's not worse than Delicious.
 
@ Her May Jailer stuff is so important because it's her before she tried to cultivate any sort of image, before she had any sort of fame, international or local. Lyrically and musically it's very distinct from the rest of her stuff. I think it's very honest stuff. She's not singing low to be "taken more seriously", she's not yet started writing about America and cocaine, and her production isn't overwhelming her. It's her and her guitar (and I think it is her playing on that record - she makes a mistake on one of the songs and she stops singing to catch up with it, which would be harder to do with a backup guitarist), without having to worry about being judged by the world.

you're fucked up. stop perpetuating this idea that unless she's borderline scrawny she's chubby. if you saw her walking down the street as an average person you would not think 'that is a chubby girl' and if you DID you're an even bigger asshole because her weight right now is totally fine. get a grip seriously. putting on 5-10 lbs does not make her go from skinny to "so chubby" you giant baby.

I finally figured out which Twin Peaks song a part of Honeymoon reminds me of
 
0:19 here

For example at 2:40 in Honeymoon

I'd say the two songs are mood-wise similar too

Some of the underlying music reminds me of an instrumental from Twin Peaks but I can't put my finger on it

anyone else think of jfk and the jfk assasination during the bridge though? 
 
"there are violets in your eyes"which kind of makes me think of how eyes may look after someone is dead
"there are guns that blaze around you".. well u know the part when he was shot.
"there are roses in between my thighs" Jackie Kennedy had a bouquet of roses on her lap when JFK was killed. i remember some interview where she talked about all the roses people had.
"its no wonder every man in town had neither fought nor found you" sort of has the same message of these lyrics "He was the king of the town with a crown that would never fall" ,"One in a million, inimitable song" 
 
maybe I'm reaching but i just thought i would share
