See you in a few months when it’s your fave and you have found the light. @@Wynwood can confirm this

[Creyk 11,699]

this album has really stood the test of time, I go back to it constantly. I like that it's more somber than Lust For Life. Terrence Loves You's bridge still gives me all the feels. deserved a video

omg im trying to quote and repond to cashcomesquick but LB wont let me

Who is thinking that Swan Song is trash, fight with me.

[daytonadeath 3,596]

I feel like Honeymoon was the record that really allowed Lana to be herself and was a platform through which she could communicate her internal struggle of the whole persona of Lana Del Rey versus Elizabeth Woolridge Grant. The lyrical parallels in some songs (HBTB and PMIAM from AKA) and themes from songs like GKIT and Swan Song really show this struggle I feel. 

 

The whole record deals with themes of escapism and voyeurism, feeling like you're being watched, and living out fantasies of your own downtime and freedom. The visuals for this era also convey this, what with the whole Starline tours bus - showing Lana, a star herself, literally surrounded in a world of stars, but the obvious factor is that these kinds of Hollywood tours are for the average person, which I think subtly but brilliantly shows the way in which Lana both objectively and personally views herself. 

 

I think out of all her discography, Honeymoon is THE record that she probably let the most go with; she really seemed like she was having a lot of fun with the whole process of creating it and the lyrics are more a tool for imagery rather than narrative, which paints a beautiful picture for the listener. It truly is a shame that it is so under-appreciated by her fanbase.

 

I think the main encompassing feeling and vibe throughout the record is Lana's interpretation of jazz and timelessness, and what the definition of timelessness is, sonically speaking. 

 

It's so soft and lush too. Someone else said it in another thread, and I completely agree with them - there are so many layers to it, you're definitely going to continue to discover different sounds and instruments the more you listen to the songs and even the instrumentals. 

 

I just love Honeymoon so much - it's my favourite Lana album. 

Bitch that's one of the best analysys I've ever seen

Lana has called Honeymoon a “vanity project“

[theviolence 5,837]

This album is just 14 songs of lana indulging in herself and her atmosphere; it's separate from any world but its own which is what makes it so timeless

ART.

Can she make some more   **** the fans

[WaitForLife 5,238]

I need outtakes from the shoot and from the album

[cashcomesquick 5,381]

Can Honeymoon get a fucking hallelujah for being her magnum opus

[IanadeIrey 62,021]

I listened to the entirety of Honeymoon last night with surround sound, noise cancelling ear-muff style headphones and I actually heard so many things that I forgot about when I would normally listen to it on vinyl or standard earbuds. 

 

The production is so articulate and truly her best, there are some hidden details that you will miss if you're listening with earbuds. Her vocals are absolutely phenomenal.

I just love Honeymoon so much, it truly is, in my opinion, her best work.

deserved #1 over Drake & Future's collab project

[Mista Midnight 346]

Imagine Lana performing Terrance Loves You while playing the Piano on stage

 

On top of it being the first time the song has ever been performed on tour.
