Belated Honeymoon anniversary post incoming...,.

 

The title track and Terrence Loves You are two of her most beautiful songs. My life was so fucking crazy and bad when Honeymoon was coming out but the gorgeous piano, synths, vocals and songwriting rly ended up overwriting and defining that period of my life. I also think it really solidified a lot of her artistry with the whole sultry mysterious songwriter thing, and also as a beautiful vocalist and talented lyricist. It was less well-received than the last two albums but really confirmed her as an artist that wasn't just necessarily doing what was palatable & chart-worthy.

 

Bonus thoughts: Honeymoon sounds best on the hottest days of the year. This album's bridges are some of the best in her career. The demos are fkn immaculate, Freak demo bridge forever, marry me marry me etc. I miss her Nina Simone covers as album closers so bad. BRING BACK UO EXCLUSIVE VINYL. And we literally both know it's not fashionable to love me like omfg

TERRENCE LOVES YOU IS STILL THAT SONG FOREVER AND EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[Pico Ocean Boulevard 41,442]

Omg I just saw that Music To Watch Boys To had its biggest streaming day ever with 143K streams yesterday

It deserved and it deserves much more streams

It's one of my faves on the album since Honeymoons release and one of my fave Lana songs to listen to in warmer weather , I was so obsessed with the song and the music video back in 2015 

MTWBT is the perfect sunbathing anthem and I just love the production and melody so much. I do think we haven't talked about the drums in the bridge enough, obsessed with them, reminding me of something tropical !!

Glad to see it finally gets more recognition

Ben used Salvatore in his post about the Vogue Italia shoot, we love some recognition

I don't know if anyone has noticed this but I'll post it here anyway. This seems to be the Japanese Universal Music promo CD version of Honeymoon, I found it from Discogs. Four people claim to have it. It also might be fake but it seems to have all the tags that it belongs to Universal Music label, who knows. It's nice to see that this photo was used as an alternate cover but nothing beats the original for me. The only suspicious thing is that it shows the release date as September 25th, 2015 but I saw from Wikipedia (with a reference) that the CD version was released in Japan on that date (major label American or European albums tend to be released much later in Japan).
