Don 199 Posted July 27, 2015 If we don't get any news or a at least the Honeymoon artwork by Friday, I will consider this dead to me, Christ Lana step up your promo game. 4 Yo soy él, cegado por tu inocencia, y esperando el día en el que me veas, aunque parece tardar más que la promesa de felicidad.

ilovetati 15,297 Posted July 27, 2015 I have a feeling this will be Lana's most critically acclaimed era considering HM is just an album opener and got so much acclaim from contemporary critics. Idk, I'm sort of thinking the opposite. A lot of critics seemed bothered to have to give her good reviews for UV, often feeling the need to sneak in little digs in good reviews. If the lyrics for the rest of the album still regurgitate the bad boy trope, I could see it getting pretty mixed reviews talking about how she needs to explore new themes. I can't say I disagree either. I like the HM lyrics and I think it's one of her better songs about being in love with a bad boy, but it's just so redundant at this point. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amadeus 11,333 Posted July 27, 2015 Someone had to shoot it for it. Lana can just put Dreamland instead. :/ They had a camera team at those Hollywood Cemetery Shows and also one at the London date for the paradise tour and we only got 3 random videos from o2 so far (@someone just please leak the whole concert) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
American Money 681 Posted July 27, 2015 I find most critically acclaimed albums to be boring, don't get me wrong I want Honeymoon to be well-received but I liked Born To Die and Ultraviolence because of their "flaws" too, not just what was considered great about them 3 Nothing scares me anymore.

Thunder Revenant 20,936 Posted July 27, 2015 Having feelings about an album when the ONLY thing we have is one song .. no promo art. no further tracks, no music video, no snippets ... 4 Just do it. Just do it - don't wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I kind of disagree about the part where you say it's one of the better bad guy songs. I mean, when you are with a bad guy, make the song dangerous, exciting. I really had to force myself last week to listen to Honeymoon again. It's pretty much BE-ICF-WFL-territory. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
analwinterofmylife 2,644 Posted July 27, 2015 ... if she likes bad boys.. she likes bad boys.. she is gonna write about what she knows and her life. she's gonna write about liking bad boys because she likes bad boys lol ? u can't just say "wow you still like bad boys? you need to explore new themes" bc .. she can't just go out and decided that she is into clergymen or something i really just don't understand plus... honeymoon lyrics got such a "wow she's talking about bad boys again" attitude when really.. she only said one or two things that alluded to him being a bad boy.. the most outstanding one being " we both know the history of violence that surrounds you" which i think is a very important line in the song because it says "i know he can be violent sometimes but i don't care.." which is sort of how the honeymoon phase goes. 7 Instagram: pxpi_gringo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't say I disagree either. I like the HM lyrics and I think it's one of her better songs about being in love with a bad boy, but it's just so redundant at this point. I think we underestimated HIM lyrics because of the whole "I'm in love/obsessed with a bad boy" but it definitely adds a new narrative to the story she created so far. She said before her lyrics are either about her past or how she wished things were. On HM she finally let her past go and she's "dreaming her life away" with this guy ( she's saying to him all things they could do together, ex: they "could cruise to the blues") which is different because usually her songs are about her "past" ( ex: "he used call me DN" and so on) Honeymoon could be an "after story" or the final chapter of the Lana Del Rey character before she releases something completely new. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still I doubt her life is not all around men, all the time. Especially not about bad boys, neither Barrie nor Francesco really fit the image. 2 Just do it. Just do it - don't wait!

thatsomason 1,201 Posted July 27, 2015 The way that you guys are saying the song is the "final chapter" of LDR sounds like how people say Happy is Marina's goodbye to Electra Heart 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naachoboy 7,993 Posted July 27, 2015 Tbh we'll probably get Honeymoon's full video this week, a single announcement next week for a nearby release date followed by a music video 2 weeks later or something, the track list reveal with album cover and then the album. Or something like that girl idk GIRL NO 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SarcasticBeauty 1,540 Posted July 27, 2015 I dont know why you guys are so bent over about Lana writing about Bad boys. Its what she's into. And the shit is interesting. She messed with all men who had disorders, and who were into some bad shit--so she's writing about that. I think it's fun, personally. For the me the problem with Honeymoon isnt the lyrics, those are fine. Its the sound. The melody is boring, the background is boring, the sound is boring. Video Games, for example was a slow song at first, yet she speeded it up at the chorus and that was all we needed to keep interested. Its a great song. I personally think blues isnt her route unless its like Million Dollar Man; but from the cover songs she's did, and Honeymoon, the sound seems to be too slow and like you could play it in the background of a horror movie(and not in a good way). This is just MY OPINION. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PrettyLies 31 Posted July 27, 2015 and Honeymoon, the sound seems to be too slow and like you could play it in the background of a horror movie(and not in a good way). From the lifetime movie, "Honeymoon Gone Wrong" soundtrack I still think it's beautiful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PARADIXO 32,925 Posted July 27, 2015 [...] You're right... she feels confortable writing about bad guys but I don't think she's thinking about it all the time. I mean, the woman studied philosphy/metaphysics or some shit like that... she could write about that stuff. She also can write about how she feels being famous, or something dedicated to her family. Writing about bad guys is okay and sometimes cool but it feels super lazy of her. I wish she'd change just a BIT... look at Black Beauty.. it is not exactly about a bad guy, but more like a depressed boyfriend (Barrie) and she wants to make him happy. Ad Black Beauty is one of her best lyrics. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
