Lana Del Rey Discusses Honeymoon Album, Rick Nowels & More In 2015 With The Current (Interview) Lana Del Rey discusses the Honeymoon album, working with Rick Nowels and her tribute to Nina Simone in this 2015 interview with David Safar.
@@LanaDelReyInterviewsArchive I guess from the little I heard she didn’t put that much conscious thought behind this album… perhaps she didn’t talk about it as much because she didn’t understand her own inspiration? She just let her muses take over
"glamorized paranoia" is such a great description for the Honeymoon album! (my fave Lana album...) It's so gorgeous and lush but there's something so dark and creepy behind the curtains. Also, I love how almost all of the tracks have such slow tempos... she really committed to the mood on this album.
This record spawned some of the most exquisite, intricately crafted songs of all time - "the Blackest Day", " Terence Loves You" being two if them. The quality of the writing & the vocals just blow me away. Agree with the comments referencing literature, I always associate Walt Whitman with Lana & recently she mentioned Samuel Barbers "Agnus Dei" which is a personal fave of mine. It's completely spine tingling. 💯♥️
100% agree that the album has some of her most well crafted songs in her discography. God Knows I Tried being one of them for me. As well as 24, Blackest Day and Religion. Not to mention its also cohesive sonically and tone wise. And anytime i think of Walt Whitman i think Lana too.
I feel like honeymoon was such a pivotal point in her career, beforehand releasing BTD was berry alt Pop and very rhythmic and with UV was obviously so soft rock but behind it was so much sadness and I think when she finally stood away from the sadness she carried in BTD and UV she felt very free and sweet which is why the title honeymoon title is so fitting for the era.
It only really works like this. You write the songs And I make the silly comments. You are the composer And I am the critic. I am afraid that if we ever did meet, It would be a huge anti-climax. It only really works like this! ❤
I don't like extreme heat or extreme cold. When I first arrived in New York in late June 1977 the temperature was just touching100 F and as humid as hell! I don't like New York. I am just a country boy!
