why isnt anyone recommending "off to the races"? its a fuqing bop. one of her rare head banger songs edit: also, "this is what makes us girls" so good.
Also just FYI, she writes from a hyperbolic standpoint. She kind of embodies, but also satires the kind of things she writes about. Lana Del Rey is a character who is inspired by vintage aesthetics, Americana and feminine archetypes. So only some of her stuff is really about her real-life experiences, and that is heavily fictionalized/changed. So a lot of the stuff that's edgy, like wearing the headdress or some of the other historical pieces is meant to embody the aesthetic or character while also being self-aware or the connotations.
That is such a relief! UGH! Like I said, it comes across different now, especially the way I do the series where I don't have any context haha Thank you so much! That really helps! THANK YOU!!
please do a part 2, this was a bad first introduction and her biggest hits are definitely her at her worst. she's definitely an album artist not a singles artist. that being said, if you want music videos, react to: video games (her breakout hit), love, mariners apartment complex, west coast, young & beautiful. individual songs: terrence loves you, brooklyn baby, tomorrow never came (ft. sean ono lennon), doin' time (her most recent release) live performances: yayo (moscow, 2016) heart-shaped box (oslo, 2013) , million dollar man (hackney weekend)
Everyone says video games was her breakout song, but wasn't it Summertime Sadness?? That song was A L L O V E R the radio. I haven't heard video games played ONCE on the radio.
@@trishtiandailey577 summertime sadness brought her to mainstream attention but it was a remix. Video games was kind of her debut and brought her to the attention to a lot of indie fans
His reaction to blue jeans lmao wait till you get to ultraviolence Ride is my favorite. The song means so much and going into the music video without context may be jarring.
It definitely was jarring haha some of the comments i've read already have been wonderful help with the context, and like i said, it just hits differently now (especially going in blind like I do) Thank you so much! Definitely adding ultraviolence to the LDR list! Thank you so much!!
Lesley charissa Yes definitely x there is so much depth in her albums that lesser fans (or non fans) don't even know and would find out if they'd only listen to all of her music x
@@thethirdbill omg there's soo many, here's some that come to mind! Black Beauty 13 Beaches Change Terrence Loves you Salvatore God Bless America Woodstock in My Mind
Lesley Charissa i agree! but you should definitely listen and check out her unreleased songs from years ago! Because of You Yes to Heaven Chelsea Motel cover Back to the Basics and Serial Killer is you can!!
Also, getting stoned and listening to Lana Del Rey's entire discography in chronological order is highly recommended. It was emotional because she goes from "ride or die" to "I'm just going to high by the beach and do me. I don't have time for you." 9:36 yup
@@thethirdbill I tell myself it was years ago, but I have trouble putting it on my music video playlist lol. I was also watching a compilation of L"ana Del Rey cute moments" this morning. I recommend that, too.
The Blackest Day is probably my favorite Lana track too! But he needs to go in knowing that it's super sad and that's ok, the song is literally about feeling like a break up is the absolute worst day of your life. That's low-key Lana's aesthetic for a lot of her earlier work. As someone said in the comments her music progresses from being sad and hurt to not giving a fuck and doing what she loves regardless of a man.
I think its really important to listen to her in chronological order - 1) Born to Die 2)Born To Die The Paradise Edition ((Definitely listen and watch to the short film Tropico)) 3) Ultraviolence 4) Honeymoon 5 lust for life
@@thethirdbill A lot of them are under the title "Lana Del Rey unreleased" on TH-cam- people have made playlists too. I think Serial Killer and Queen of Disaster are some one of her most popular unreleased songs (she's even performed Serial Killer live), but tbh even I haven't heard all her unreleased songs yet. I don't think any of them are on her main channel because a lot of them were before she became Lana™ or they just didn't make on an album. She has a 2010 album- Lana Del Rey aka Lizzy Grant. One song- Yayo was remade for Born to Die.
@@thethirdbill My understanding is that her old stuff was pulled so she could "remake" herself. There were rumors about her authenticity when she was starting and growing th-cam.com/video/DMqd7GdBdkE/w-d-xo.html
i dont think you can really get a good census of lana just by watching different music videos over a span of years. the videos give a goodidea of her aesthetic and vibe but if you're really interested in her vocal acrobatics/song writing/story telling, i definitely recommend just listening to one of her albums.
That's a good point. I do videos to provide more visuals...maybe I should do an album instead. A lot of times I was sitting there not loving the video choices, but really enjoying the song. Thank you so much!
I really love this song. But after she said she didn’t like it and she found it too comercial something just don’t feel right anymore. It’s a bummer honestly.
With Lana especially I really recommend listening/reacting to a whole album of hers at once, I think it really helps to understand and love the music. (Also I think its best to listen in chronological order because I think theres a real flow/growth in the themes both musically and lyrically).
LMAO, I hope you do a part 2 and react to Ultraviolence that's going to be wild. Also if you want to see her vocal ability's listen to Off to the races, Million Dollar Man, Cola, West Coast, Pretty When You Cry, Sad Girl, 24, The Blackest Day, 13 Beaches.
OMG YES PLS DO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD! i'd recommend sweater weather, baby came home , let it go,a little death, rip to my youth, stuck with me.... okay so i love all of them but yeah
"I will love you till the end of time" She doesn't sing it in a happy way for sure. It's like when you go through abuse in relationships and acknowledge how the hurt, the memories stay anyways.
How could you skip Video Games?? It's the song that broke her through to the mainstream and still remains one of her absolute best. Really hoping for a part 2.
Please do a part 2 with videos: Video Games, Shades of Cool, Music to watch boys to, Love, Mariners apartment complex and heart shaped box (live from Oslo) ❤
She has a song that came out on Spotify in January of this year that has a lot of emotion in its delivery if you're interested. It's more of a ballad. The title is "hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have -- but i have it". yeah, long title.
@@thethirdbill OMG yes, ok How To Be A Heartbreaker Primadonna Oh No! Handmade Heaven Hollywood I Am Not A Robot these are all really good ones to jam out to
For her vocals, watch her performance of Without You!! It's beautiful :) You could listen and watch the music video for Carmen too, it has very deep and dark themes and is great. If you want to hear her acknowledge abusive relationships, Ultraviolence ! Love your videos :)
Your commentary is always so enthusiastic, but you still dig deep into the themes and try to understand everything on more than a surface level. I really appreciate the way you do your reactions as well, it makes watching every second of the video worth it
I was super into Lana Born To Die - Ultraviolence, and whilst I adored the subtle and melancholic beauty of Honeymoon, it didn't inspire the same kind of devotion, which is completely fine. The album was such a muted vibe that experiencing it was more personal than her previews projects (though a lot of fans simply called it 'boring' and 'sleep-inducing'). It'd be interesting to hear what you think of this project. Also, Lana Del Rey is very much a character, or a lens, that she writes through. She stated that her work is autobiographical, but I think (in her earlier works for sure) she recontextualised her experiences against these characters (very Americana, though she stated she was no longer going to use that sort of imagery after Trump got elected). More recently, she seems to write in a more direct/less metaphorical way, which I think comes with comfort and time spent in the industry, and no longer feeling she had to speak through this character or simply having said everything she wanted to in that way. (Also, I've said this before, but you should so try to stan Allie X, esp her live performances ('Science' digital concert prime example, or 'Downtown' unplugged) - she's musical theatre trained so her voice is incredible, and actually competed on the Canadian version of the show to cast Maria for Sound of Music years before she became Allie X). Completely randomly - it'd be interesting to hear what you think of Eurovision, like reacting to a compilation of all this years performances.
My favourite songs: *Without You *Dark Paradise California (released only a couple of days ago) Venice b*tch *Radio F*ck it I love you (also released a few days ago) Love 13 Beaches Looking for America *Old Money West Coast Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me but I have it Cinnamon girl *Lucky Ones The Blackest Day *Young and Beautiful ...y'know. Not too many. Out of the 64 I have downloaded *priority
You should also do a part where you react to some of her interviews, like her NME interview because her talking voice is so different from her singing voice and it’s nice to hear her talk about where she draws inspiration from
Give "Ride" another chance without worrying about the things like the headdress and all that. It's about freedom and doing what you want, being risky and impulsive sometimes can be freeing. That's the main message, BE YOURSELF. If you can, give it another chance because it's amazing and that video is actually how I fell in love with her. I am actually surprised and disappointed that you didn't like it. Look past those details that don't fit as much to the time we are in now, and look at the main message, that sometimes doing what the fuck you want when you want it is a good thing. I mean did you watch the WHOLE thing from start to finish or did you skip? Did you listen to what she was actually saying or did you only see the headdress? lol
Side note, her new album Norman Fucking Rockwell is amazing if you wanted to do a part 2. Her song "Hope is a dangerous thing for a girl like me to have" is amazing.
maybe try to react to her albums? Like start with born to die and then her other albums in chronological order. I think it’s the best way to listen to her. Or maybe react to a bunch of songs from each of her albums and let us choose which one to listen to. Those are her most popular songs and I think they’re a bit overrated, so you could dive a bit deeper
That's definitely the vibe I've gotten in the comments so far haha Any suggestions? I do songs by popular vote, and part 1 usually I have to look up hits too. haha
thethirdbill here are my favorites from each album born to die: off to the races million dollar man lucky ones this is what makes us girls without you born to die paradise edition: gods and monsters cola american ultraviolence: ultraviolence shades of cool west coast black beauty the other woman pretty when you cry old money honeymoon: music to watch boys to freak art deco salvatore 24 swan song terrence loves you the blackest day lust for life: love beautiful people beautiful problems tomorrow never came heroin change there you go king
Yess!!! Queen Lana Del Rey!!! I literally subscribed to you because of this video!!! She has so many more songs, music videos and live performances you should check out!!!! Definitely do a part 2!!!! She writes her own music and a lot of it is very storytelling based which I love!!!! Her aesthetic has always been vintage, very unique don’t see a lot of that. But yea so glad you giving Lana a chance, she’s definitely got a distinctive style of music so refreshing to hear!!!!!!♥️♥️♥️
@@thethirdbill any song from her second album, Ultraviolence. Ultraviolence, West Coast, Shades of Cool. Or you can go a bit more recent, with Freak, a song from the same album as High By The Beach.
For one whole vid, watch Tropico. It’s a short film abt a half an hour long made by her. The whole video is beautiful and meaningful and it includes three of her songs.
ik this video is old but ultraviolence is lanas best album hands down, I think its the most thought-through album and the aesthetic and style is worked into every track and it really works. cruel world is honestly her best song, especially when it hits the final chorus its gets me. also the title track is beautiful, and sad girl, pretty when you cry etc. the vibe is very much "candy + heroin, bible + gun" and also a bit 60s psychedelic vibe woven in there. its her darkest, moodiest album for sure and I think it really suits her. also Salvatore and freak from honeymoon are great.
Ohhh the ride MV is fantastic, a true masterpiece. I agree that the headpiece is problematic but Lana said that she wouldn't use these symbols anymore as well as the American Flag. Other than that it's not so much about sexuality but more about the journey to yourself which can be quite lonely and also mental health. If you find the time check out her unreleased slngs, Girl That Got Away, Serial Killer, Rahab etc. etc. ... you'll love them they bang so hard Btw when you are looking for Lana doing that high high note: Cola!
Amazing video.. and there's a lot to explore from lana! West coast , love, videogames, heart shaped box (live), Young and beautiful, shades of cool and Ultraviolence (this one will totally mess u up )
More Trying To Stan Lana Del Rey videos please! I believe Lana Del Rey is not the kind of artist that you can understand from first impressions, she has a whole discography that embodies the evolution of a character she created in her debut album "Born To Die", she delivers way more than just the "Ride or Die" persona.
“On your zune” 🤣💀 I’ve seen your videos a couple of times, and just subbed in the hopes you’ll do more Lana.... maybe Trópico? West Coast cause that switch up makes me moist? also maybe Kali Uchis next???
and Born to Die is said to not only be about a toxic relationship but also her battle with alcoholism - hope this makes sense, for me it gave a whole new meaning to the lyrics
React to Cherry, Heroin and Terrence Loves You by her. There's a real good channel called "Just Some Videos" or something like that, they kinda made some videos for the songs which did not have any video and they made from these three songs. It fit's perfectly...
To add to your thoughts on blue jeans, having the words be so loving and the visuals be so dooming could also act as a reflection itself; knowing people who have been/ are still struggling i see how they listen to the voice that tells them to go back and that its all good even when they themselved can see that if it escalates they could very well end up dead one day. Because of that id say the song is still a healthy message, but as a Lana fan i don't think I've ever seen the video and i had a very different message from the song.
That's a great way to look at it! After the crocodile/alligator imagery, I totally agree. Videos definitely can change the vibe of a song, and I hope it helped your experience! Thank you so much for watching!!
I would absolutely love if this also became a multiple video series where you went through some of her discography chronologically so you can see her growth. I'm personally a sucker for the melodramatic thing she has in "Born to Die" but I think you'll appreciate her change in attitude for the "Lust for Life" album. Biggest song recommendations include "Young and Beautiful", "Music to Watch Boys to", "West Coast", "Shades of Cool", "13 Beaches" and the final three songs from "Lust for Life"
Thank you so much! I think I need to sample her growth, too haha! I really appreciate your consideration in your song suggestions! Definitely adding to the LDR list! Thank you so much!!
Please try to stan Little Mix, to know them better I recommend you first acapella Queens, Little mix friendship, their rihanna's love on the brain cover and maybe Little mix 13 performances that show how professional they are and Best live vocals
Young and Beautiful is so emotional... it's the song that first got me into Lana. There's just something so sincere about it, imo and I hope that if you do a part 2 you include it
Some of my favourite tracks from her you should check out: The Blackest Day. Religion. Money Power Glory (this one is written from irony, and that's why i love it) Pretty When You Cry.
PLEASEE READ THIS if you want more vocal fancy stuff from lana please watch her lives!!! almost all of them are better than the original, these especially: Born To Die (2018), Body Electric (any year tbfh), COLA (!!!!), Without You (Ameoba live), LIKE PLEASEEEEEE REACT TO THESE LIVES ILYSM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey! thanks for doing this :) if youre going to release a second part or third (hopefully!) then I’ll recommend you some very good live performances 1. Video Games- Hackney Weekend BBC Radio 1 2. Million Dillar Man-Hackney Weekend BBC Radio 1 3. Cola- Olympia, Paris 4. Heart Shaped Box- Spektrum, Oslo (not tecnically her song but her rendition of it is amazing) Thats what I can say from the top of my head for now, I hope you can do a part 2! and btw listen to the song itself first before the live ✨
Omggg the septum suits sooo well and you too cute 😍 however have fun for the next like month with the pain. I got mine a month ago and for weeks after it felt like I got punched in the face lol.
Yo when you mentioned the 60s show vibe in Lust for Life it reminded me of a music video by The Regrettes (which is amazing) - completely unrelated but you'd probably really enjoy their music and videos too!
I know you said you watch the music videos to make the videos more visual but I promise that album reactions that pay attention to lyrics do really well on youtube! Her singles are usually the type of songs that reach out to a wider audience. Her albums tell stories of a fictional character she invented called Lana Del Rey. Comments on this video have explained it better but I definitely recommend listening to albums in chronological order. Each album has a different sound, aesthetic and feel to it.
@@thethirdbill woah that's awesome! i'd suggest you start with her recent songs like Runaway, Running with the wolves, I went too far, Lucky (in my faves), Home (like all time top 3 of mine from her), Under the water and Through the eyes of a child ( i think you'd really like that one). That would be a nice first stan entry :P
You should react to Ultraviolence, Brooklyn baby, Honeyoon, shades of cool, Mariners apartment complex, venice bitch, hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but I have it, and the video for video games... that's a lot but she has too much stuff
I feel like he should have listened to the songs alone because the songs are beautiful but the videos were distracting him too much and straying him from the actual music
why isnt anyone recommending "off to the races"? its a fuqing bop. one of her rare head banger songs
edit: also, "this is what makes us girls" so good.
Adding them to my LDR list! Thank you so much!!
two of my all time faves by her....mmmmm
I just recently listened to off to the races for the first time even tho I’ve been a fan since I was little, it’s SUCH a good song
@@paralyzedvampyre8351 yaaassss
OTTR YESSS!!!!! The best stable Lana song 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Summertime Sadness was about her friend that committed suicide, so you were v right about it not being a break up song

The album was such a muted vibe that experiencing it was more personal than her previews projects (though a lot of fans simply called it 'boring' and 'sleep-inducing'). It'd be interesting to hear what you think of this project. Also, Lana Del Rey is very much a character, or a lens, that she writes through. She stated that her work is autobiographical, but I think (in her earlier works for sure) she recontextualised her experiences against these characters (very Americana, though she stated she was no longer going to use that sort of imagery after Trump got elected). More recently, she seems to write in a more direct/less metaphorical way, which I think comes with comfort and time spent in the industry, and no longer feeling she had to speak through this character or simply having said everything she wanted to in that way. (Also, I've said this before, but you should so try to stan Allie X, esp her live performances ('Science' digital concert prime example, or 'Downtown' unplugged) - she's musical theatre trained so her voice is incredible, and actually competed on the Canadian version of the show to cast Maria for Sound of Music years before she became Allie X). Completely randomly - it'd be interesting to hear what you think of Eurovision, like reacting to a compilation of all this years performances.
This and the Marina video both need sequels!!!!!! I've subscribed hoping you do them in the future!!!
thats definitely happening haha promise

You should also do a part where you react to some of her interviews, like her NME interview because her talking voice is so different from her singing voice and it’s nice to hear her talk about where she draws inspiration from
Give "Ride" another chance without worrying about the things like the headdress and all that. It's about freedom and doing what you want, being risky and impulsive sometimes can be freeing. That's the main message, BE YOURSELF. If you can, give it another chance because it's amazing and that video is actually how I fell in love with her. I am actually surprised and disappointed that you didn't like it. Look past those details that don't fit as much to the time we are in now, and look at the main message, that sometimes doing what the fuck you want when you want it is a good thing. I mean did you watch the WHOLE thing from start to finish or did you skip? Did you listen to what she was actually saying or did you only see the headdress? lol
You should react to the albums in order. That way you get a clear understanding of who Lana is & how great she is as an artist.
Side note, her new album Norman Fucking Rockwell is amazing if you wanted to do a part 2. Her song "Hope is a dangerous thing for a girl like me to have" is amazing.
maybe try to react to her albums? Like start with born to die and then her other albums in chronological order. I think it’s the best way to listen to her. Or maybe react to a bunch of songs from each of her albums and let us choose which one to listen to. Those are her most popular songs and I think they’re a bit overrated, so you could dive a bit deeper
That's definitely the vibe I've gotten in the comments so far haha Any suggestions? I do songs by popular vote, and part 1 usually I have to look up hits too. haha

Adding to the LDR list! Thank you so much!
I clicked this immediately. I love Lana Del Rey. Blue Jeans was my first song by her and it never gets old for me.
Try to react to Lana's "Tropico" video even though it's long af plsssssss
will you upload a new part of "trying to stan gaga" series? i hope you do! so excited.❤ *paws up*
Definitely! Trying to expand on more artists while I wait in a corner for LG6 news! haha! PAWSUUP!
Yess!!! Queen Lana Del Rey!!! I literally subscribed to you because of this video!!! She has so many more songs, music videos and live performances you should check out!!!! Definitely do a part 2!!!! She writes her own music and a lot of it is very storytelling based which I love!!!! Her aesthetic has always been vintage, very unique don’t see a lot of that. But yea so glad you giving Lana a chance, she’s definitely got a distinctive style of music so refreshing to hear!!!!!!♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much!!! Any suggestions for a pt 2?
@@thethirdbill any song from her second album, Ultraviolence. Ultraviolence, West Coast, Shades of Cool. Or you can go a bit more recent, with Freak, a song from the same album as High By The Beach.
For one whole vid, watch Tropico. It’s a short film abt a half an hour long made by her. The whole video is beautiful and meaningful and it includes three of her songs.
definitely on my LDR list! Thank you so much for watching!
thethirdbill no problem! You’re real good at what you’re doing, I subbed and everything. Keep up the good work 😁
If you wanna see her playing around with her voice, then react to her best live vocals. She's amaaazing!
ik this video is old but ultraviolence is lanas best album hands down, I think its the most thought-through album and the aesthetic and style is worked into every track and it really works. cruel world is honestly her best song, especially when it hits the final chorus its gets me. also the title track is beautiful, and sad girl, pretty when you cry etc. the vibe is very much "candy + heroin, bible + gun" and also a bit 60s psychedelic vibe woven in there. its her darkest, moodiest album for sure and I think it really suits her. also Salvatore and freak from honeymoon are great.
Ohhh the ride MV is fantastic, a true masterpiece. I agree that the headpiece is problematic but Lana said that she wouldn't use these symbols anymore as well as the American Flag. Other than that it's not so much about sexuality but more about the journey to yourself which can be quite lonely and also mental health. If you find the time check out her unreleased slngs, Girl That Got Away, Serial Killer, Rahab etc. etc. ... you'll love them they bang so hard
Btw when you are looking for Lana doing that high high note: Cola!
That's really good to know! Thank you so much for clarifying! Cola is definitely on my LDR list!
How can someone NOT enjoy the absolute masterpiece visuals on born to die????
It's one of her most beautiful videos ever
Amazing video.. and there's a lot to explore from lana!
West coast , love, videogames, heart shaped box (live), Young and beautiful, shades of cool and Ultraviolence (this one will totally mess u up )
Thank you so much!! Definitely adding these to my LDR list!!
More Trying To Stan Lana Del Rey videos please! I believe Lana Del Rey is not the kind of artist that you can understand from first impressions, she has a whole discography that embodies the evolution of a character she created in her debut album "Born To Die", she delivers way more than just the "Ride or Die" persona.
I definitely want to! I'm starting to get the impression I would like later Lana Del Rey (Later Del Rey!) haha! Any suggestions for songs?
@@thethirdbill Haha! I'd suggest you check out Love / Change / Young and Beautiful and West Coast, you won't be dissapointed!
Adding to the list! Thank you so much!!
"is a velvet yesss" sounds like what she wants loooooool
but u should do more parts to this and of florence
Definitely!! TO BOTH!! Thank you so much!!!
“On your zune” 🤣💀
I’ve seen your videos a couple of times, and just subbed in the hopes you’ll do more Lana.... maybe Trópico? West Coast cause that switch up makes me moist?
also maybe Kali Uchis next???
and Born to Die is said to not only be about a toxic relationship but also her battle with alcoholism - hope this makes sense, for me it gave a whole new meaning to the lyrics
I lost it at "hot topic jared leto"
*watches Born To Die*
"Not my favourite video...“
*unsubscribe*
Omg dont let twitter see the headpiece
React to Cherry, Heroin and Terrence Loves You by her.
There's a real good channel called "Just Some Videos" or something like that, they kinda made some videos for the songs which did not have any video and they made from these three songs. It fit's perfectly...
To add to your thoughts on blue jeans, having the words be so loving and the visuals be so dooming could also act as a reflection itself; knowing people who have been/ are still struggling i see how they listen to the voice that tells them to go back and that its all good even when they themselved can see that if it escalates they could very well end up dead one day. Because of that id say the song is still a healthy message, but as a Lana fan i don't think I've ever seen the video and i had a very different message from the song.
That's a great way to look at it! After the crocodile/alligator imagery, I totally agree. Videos definitely can change the vibe of a song, and I hope it helped your experience! Thank you so much for watching!!
React to Lolita and Brooklyn Baby. There’s no music video for them but they’re rlly good.
I would absolutely love if this also became a multiple video series where you went through some of her discography chronologically so you can see her growth. I'm personally a sucker for the melodramatic thing she has in "Born to Die" but I think you'll appreciate her change in attitude for the "Lust for Life" album.
Biggest song recommendations include "Young and Beautiful", "Music to Watch Boys to", "West Coast", "Shades of Cool", "13 Beaches" and the final three songs from "Lust for Life"
Thank you so much! I think I need to sample her growth, too haha! I really appreciate your consideration in your song suggestions! Definitely adding to the LDR list! Thank you so much!!
Lana has a unreleased song called Rehab, it’s a beautiful song I highly recommend it
Adding to the LDR list! Thank you so much!
thethirdbill Awesome! Yw!
thethirdbill oh yeah! I completely forgot, Art Deco and Brooklyn Baby are really good songs from her as well, some of my favorites
Please try to stan Little Mix, to know them better I recommend you first acapella Queens, Little mix friendship, their rihanna's love on the brain cover and maybe Little mix 13 performances that show how professional they are and Best live vocals
HIGH ON THE BEACH IS LANA'S BEST SONG. DON'T @ ME.
also can't wait so see more new artists and you to grow with these artists
Cruel World exists
Thank you so much! I loved High on the Beach!
Young and Beautiful is so emotional... it's the song that first got me into Lana. There's just something so sincere about it, imo and I hope that if you do a part 2 you include it
Trying to stan TWENTY ONE PILOTS next!!!
Some of my favourite tracks from her you should check out:
The Blackest Day.
Religion.
Money Power Glory (this one is written from irony, and that's why i love it)
Pretty When You Cry.
Adding to my LDR list! Thank you so much!!
PLEASEE READ THIS if you want more vocal fancy stuff from lana please watch her lives!!! almost all of them are better than the original, these especially: Born To Die (2018), Body Electric (any year tbfh), COLA (!!!!), Without You (Ameoba live), LIKE PLEASEEEEEE REACT TO THESE LIVES ILYSM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's a really good idea! Thank you so much! Adding these to the LDR list for sure!!
hey! thanks for doing this :)
if youre going to release a second part or third (hopefully!) then I’ll recommend you some very good live performances
1. Video Games- Hackney Weekend BBC Radio 1
2. Million Dillar Man-Hackney Weekend BBC Radio 1
3. Cola- Olympia, Paris
4. Heart Shaped Box- Spektrum, Oslo (not tecnically her song but her rendition of it is amazing)
Thats what I can say from the top of my head for now, I hope you can do a part 2! and btw listen to the song itself first before the live ✨
You need to do a TRYING TO STAN: Melanie Martinez
Summertime sadness was about her friend who committed suicide in the summer.
I’ve never been more early to something in my life
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoyed the video!!
You did a great job with the way of your words and got us like you wanted
Thank you so much!!
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE
I love that you addressed the headdress being warn.
Omg react to her song COLA you’ll be shook
You need to listen to some songs from her Ultraviolence album/era. West Coast, Shades of Blue, Ultraviolence & Florida Kilos are all really amazing!
Definitely adding to my LDR list! Ya'll love Ultraviolence and I wanna check it out!
@@thethirdbill please update us with what you thought of it!
try cola and florida kilos! two of my favorites
Adding to the LDR list! Thank you so much!!
YES
petition for an NFR reaction? i think it’s a pretty different sound from lana
TRYING TO STAN MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS
Omggg the septum suits sooo well and you too cute 😍 however have fun for the next like month with the pain. I got mine a month ago and for weeks after it felt like I got punched in the face lol.
Thank you so much!! Yeah, it's still rough getting used to. I flipped it up so I will stop messing with it in my sleep haha! IT HURTS!!!
ok but video games cinnamon girl and happiness is a butterfly tho react to thoseeee
Ooh Lana too. Really have to open your mind with her music, she's very creative, unique with a classic twist :D
Yessss😍
Yo when you mentioned the 60s show vibe in Lust for Life it reminded me of a music video by The Regrettes (which is amazing) - completely unrelated but you'd probably really enjoy their music and videos too!
And please watch the live performances of million dollar man
I know you said you watch the music videos to make the videos more visual but I promise that album reactions that pay attention to lyrics do really well on youtube! Her singles are usually the type of songs that reach out to a wider audience. Her albums tell stories of a fictional character she invented called Lana Del Rey. Comments on this video have explained it better but I definitely recommend listening to albums in chronological order. Each album has a different sound, aesthetic and feel to it.
you should react to AURORA
Definitely 10000% on my list! Any song suggestions for a good starter kit?
@@thethirdbill woah that's awesome! i'd suggest you start with her recent songs like Runaway, Running with the wolves, I went too far, Lucky (in my faves), Home (like all time top 3 of mine from her), Under the water and Through the eyes of a child ( i think you'd really like that one). That would be a nice first stan entry :P
Awesome! Thank you so much!!
@@thethirdbill and thank you😁 looking forward to it
You should react to Ultraviolence, Brooklyn baby, Honeyoon, shades of cool, Mariners apartment complex, venice bitch, hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but I have it, and the video for video games... that's a lot but she has too much stuff
Definitely adding these to my LDR list! Thank you so much!!
react to her version of Summer Wine!
Part 2. I think u’ll like Ultraviolence
I feel like he should have listened to the songs alone because the songs are beautiful but the videos were distracting him too much and straying him from the actual music
The one I've been waiting for!!
Thank you so much for waiting! I hope you enjoyed it! Any suggestions for a pt 2?
@@thethirdbill I'll have a think for you :)
:D!
@@thethirdbill God bless America and all the beautiful women in it, gods and monsters, love, Salvatore and young and beautiful
Love, in my feelings, Florida kilos, GODS & MONSTERS and OFF TO THE RACES plzz 😄
Ahhh I wish he did young and beautiful! That is one of my favorites by her and I think bill would like it
