"did she date my ex" stoppp I laughed so hard 😂 The idea of having the responsibility to fix him or men she was with in a main thematic umbrella in the whole Ultraviolence album. She really shows the psychomachia of wanting to please but also wanting to make them better. Despite it all, she chooses to stay because she's not aware that she deserves better. That comes in more in Honeymoon when she sees that her need to please these men is just the honeymoon phase of a relationship and she actually comes to realize that it's time to walk away because it damages her wellbeing. It's part of her evolution. As the albums progress you'll see that more.
I read somewhere that these lyrics: "Oh what can I do? Nothing, my sparrow blue" were a real dialogue between her and her boyfriend. He answered her that she can't do anything and called her his sparrow. It makes this song even sadder. Thanks ❤
calling her his sparrow means something I'm not catching at first glance? english is not my native language so if there's some known meaning that I'm not aware about I would very much appreciate a reply :] thanks
@@frotahAs far as I know we haven't heard Lana explain that lyric. I think it's a term of endearment like Sweetheart, Honey and Babe. I'm sure it means something important to Lana. She's said she likes to add little things in her song that only she (and sometimes family or friends) will understand exactly what it's means. I think that's probably common for artists.
This song is so sad, and it's clearly about her relationship with barrie- james i always remember what she said when they broke up: "Probably the relationship I’ve been in for the last three years. Definitely demolished that through tons of depression and insecurity. Now it’s just an untenable relationship, impossible because of my emotional instability."
This song has made me curl up and weep before. Loving someone with depression is so hard. You'd do anything to take their pain from them. It physically hurts to see them unhappy. And as someone who has struggled severely with mental illness my whole life sometimes this song feels like I'm singing to myself. The instrumentals fit the theme perfectly too and capture that longing aching feeling of wanting happiness for yourself or someone else This is in my top 3 Lana songs
as a lana del rey stan who’s studying psychology in uni, i’m loving these reactions. also - today’s her birthday! by the way, i love the wallpaper in the background 🤩
She wrote this song and basically the whole Ultraviolence album about Barrie, he struggled with depression and that’s why they broke up 🥺 despite she tried to bring him up, like you said, it was not her job 😭
This is from her Ultraviolence album, where, as another commenter pointed out, the central themes surround the idea of wanting to simultaneously please/appeal to and change/fix the men she’s romantically involved with. Another song in the album that’s very similar to Black Beauty, but I think a bit more direct, is Shades of Cool. I’d really love to see your reaction/analysis of that one at some point! The chorus literally breaks out with “you are unfixable, I can’t break through your walls”
Your interpretations are so spot-on. As a die-hard Lana fan since 2011, these are some of the best reactions out there. I've been following your channel for a few months now, and thank you SOOO much, you make me feel like I'm listening to these songs for the very first time. Looking forward to more ❤
I think many people miss a lot of Lana’s humor or sarcasm in her lyrics. Not saying the song’s subject is humorous, but her singing “I paint the house black, and my wedding dress too,” is a rather funny image. Makes me think of the movie BeetleJuice. So many of her songs have a twisted humor to them, but because other lyrics are so heavy it gets overlooked. Love your reactions - they’re super insightful ✌️
What I associate this song to the most, in a purely subjective way, it's to this one time during my darkest phase, when I had suicidal idealizations and felt completely hopeless: I decided to go out for a run around a park at night, took my headphones and phone with me, put Lana's music on on shuffle, and this song came on. Despite the fact I was running, I couldn't take my mind off my negative thoughts and emotions, but when Dark Beauty came on, I really listened to the lyrics for the first time, and it was so soothing, I felt she was singing it to me. It gave me a sparkle of hope, thinking about how beautiful life can be, starting with the fact that such beautiful music and art exists and how it can brighten you up for a little while at least.
Yes! This proves music is so healing. Sometimes no amount of medication or therapy can help in the way one song can. So glad it supported you and you are here.
This song is dedicated to Lana's ex-boyfriend, who used to be one of her few men who wasn't that abusive to her (my personal impression and observation, cause Lana usually doesn’t talk much about her personal relationships). I guess they really loved each other, but because of his and her dark personalities, they were not able to make it. Barrie used to have depression at that time, sadly, Lana is also not the most optimistic person. She moved to London for some time to live with him. He is a singer too. At that time Lana kept getting popularity, so whenever you see some videos of that time when they both were caught in public or at some music related events, it is clear that all attention goes to Lana, while Barrie stays aside just observing. He wanted the recognition too I believe, so at those times, especially, taking to consideration he had depression and his career was not as successful as Lana’s(must admit he is a talented singer too), it was obvious he was jealous. At the same point I want to say he used to always protect her from her annoying or crazy fans in public. You can see he really loved her and cared for her. I think it was not a good time for two of them then. Maybe if they started dating later, when they were not as vulnerable as they were, they would have had a better ending, who knows..? I guess their story is really sad😞, their relationship was one of the longest from all Lana’s. It was sincere, but painful love… I believe they had much in common.. it was just not a right time for them.. You can tell, cause Lana still gives a positive feedback about him. Barrie does the same. They still keep in touch as friends :) You can check out their cover for a song “Summer Wine” on Lana’s channel. They sound great together! Very magnificent cover ☺️ watching the video to the cover now, gives me a feeling it is a dream, that was never supposed to become true… Thank you for your reaction!🥰 Looking forward to the next ones😁
I love how deep you dig into these songs, trying to interpret the works of art and deep emotion! One song by Lana, that's on the "Lust For Life' album, has always been beautifully challenging for me to understand. It's called "13 Beaches". The song has a haunting need to escape from the world with the sound of a cinematic ballad. Somehow it's relatable, but I'm not sure why.
Highly recommend listening to her song, Beautiful, on her album Blue Banisters. Its amazing song that discusses her going through depression herself. Highly recommend
this song is a bonus track from ultraviolence, arguably her darkest album (honeymoon is also a good candidate), about a very toxic relationship that ended up hurting everyone involved
Out of all of Lana's songs, this one definitely hit me the hardest, VERY close to home. I remember hearing it for the first time. Sure, vocally speaking, it is angelical, no doubt. Poetically/lyrically, it absolutely destroyed me to the point of causing me a breakdown. I interpreted the lyrics a little differently than what they possibly were meant to/for. It felt as if a younger version of myself was trying to speak to me. A version of myself that wants to fight/change, and do everything in his power to take my current version out of the depression I was feeling at the time. It made me rethink so many things and build enough courage to want to heal. This song is one of the reasons why I'm alive today.
Ever since i've heard this song for the first time ,it has still remained my fav Lana song of all time and that is hard cuz all of her music is superior.
Hiii Mere, since Fleetwood Mac is one of ur fav ( and my personal fav band, and Stevie Nicks omg ), i think you'd love "Beautiful People With Beautiful Problems by Lana featuring Stevie Nicks herself lol, btw love your reactions 💖
Loved this reaction! I think you’d enjoy Shades of Cool. It’s one of my favorites from the Ultraviolence record and she’s talking about very similar themes.
Love your reactions! as a fan of Lana, I don’t always understand the meaning of her songs and it’s so interesting to listen to your opinion and really a lot starts to make sense I also like to look at your face when she sings, for example, about changing for a man😅Thanks a lot! take breaks, hope you don't get tired of doing reactions to her songs. Sending you so much love💕 you should go to her concert! at the moment she has many festival concerts
I think this song is about how is hard to be in a relationship when ur the only one who´s actually tryng to make things work out, i felt this one so deeply, one of my favorites of ultraviolence album🖤
I don’t think it’s about being “the only one actually trying,” I think it’s about her lovers sheer inability to put in the same effort she did. How despite her efforts there’s nothing much she or her lover can do.
Im really loving this channel! Lana's music is definitely a genre where you have to have been through some things to fully appreciate, rather than see it all as sad and depressing. And I see similar outtakes as you do on some of her songs. If you don't mind a request, I recommend doing her song "cherry" from her lust for life album. Thank you again. And keep up the OUTSTANDING vids❤😊
I've been binging your videos and you make such good points and annotations on her lyrics to the point that I am shocked, you are so good at analyzing her songs and I agree with 99.9% of the conclusions you get to!
I really love your channel, you bring such a new perspective to these songs with your insight! If you could, it'd be great to see you react to Beautiful People, both the demo and the released version. The difference in lyrics are... really something! I think you'd enjoy analyzing the evolution 👀
Their is a song called Riverside that is by Lana and the guy she sings about in this song. Its pretty good and only came out a few years ago even though they broke up a long while ago
Part of the backstory of this song is that lana has had 2 laptops stolen and hundreds of unreleased songs were leaked and posted this was her most popular unreleased song to the point people thought it was official so she remastered it and put it on her next album
@myopia2020 Yeah, i think it was after paradise was released because she put this song on ultraviolence. There are fanmade albums of their favorite songs on TH-cam and her first album that she made as "Lizzy Grant." Google said, "Say yes to heaven" leaked in 2014, so I guess that's when it was stolen.
@@wakatoo2588 Thanks for the info!😊 It's mind-boggling that someone who has 'trust no one ' tattooed on her hand has left stuff in her car 3x(?) to be broken into and stolen.
Can’t wait for more reactions! Whatever you react to I will love and enjoy because you have amazing analysis, but if I had to make a suggestion I think you’d really like Sportcruiser, it’s a poem from Lana’s poetry book/album Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass (an underrated masterpiece if u ask me) 🥰
I love your reactions. I feel you understand Lana in a very different and deep way. Thank you! I would love to see your reaction to Liability by Lorde! Kisses from Brazil ❤
Copied from other video: there's this beautiful and sad interview of hers back in 2017 i think where the interviwer asks her about this song and she just cries. she says its a very sad song about being in a relationship with a depressed person, wich was the case back in time when she did ultraviolence. it's about her former boyfriend barrie james o'neill. she said: "That's a sad song. In that song-[sings] I keep my lips red like cherries in the spring/Darling, you can't let everything seem so dark blue--that's a girl who is still seeing the blue sky and a putting on a pop of color just for herself. But this [other] person- it was all black for them. And my world became inky with those overtones. [At this, Lana begins to cry, and we pause for a moment.]"
Love this one, great break down as usual. I really got into this song when my dog was diagnosed with cancer. We tried everything to help him, but he succumbed to the disease. I was playing this song for myself so much. "oh, what can I do?" because there was nothing I could do. "Life is beautiful but you don't have a clue" and I knew that the world was full of beautiful things, and that year (2019) before he got sick, was going really well. But it just broke me. I had to feel my feelings of deep grief and there was no escaping it. And it's interesting you used the description of "unfixable" because in Shades of Cool, the chorus is literally "But you are unfixable, I can't break through your world, 'cause you live in shades of cool, your heart is unbreakable" This song also reminds me of my first boy-friend I had as an adult who was an alcoholic. I remember asking him, "why don't you spend the day sober?" and he responded with "Now, why would I do that?" It was a hard time and I was very naive. He also lived on a street that was named Belair, so that song reminds me of him too. I hope he's doing well today. He was very self-destructive. Anyway, I hope you're doing well, Mere. Bright and light colors look beautiful on you! 💜
"did she date my ex" stoppp I laughed so hard 😂
The idea of having the responsibility to fix him or men she was with in a main thematic umbrella in the whole Ultraviolence album. She really shows the psychomachia of wanting to please but also wanting to make them better. Despite it all, she chooses to stay because she's not aware that she deserves better. That comes in more in Honeymoon when she sees that her need to please these men is just the honeymoon phase of a relationship and she actually comes to realize that it's time to walk away because it damages her wellbeing. It's part of her evolution. As the albums progress you'll see that more.
She took me out with that one😂😂
😂❤
lana literally says "you are unfixable" in her song shades of cool!
@LouisianasQueenLuisaMorgadoperiodt
The first thing that came to my mind when she said that haha
I thought it was "invincible" because she put the lyrics in the describtion and it is "invincible"
Omg! Please do the entire Ultraviolence album. Shades of Cool next? 🥹
I LOVE THIS SONG
Keep on serving
i think you’ll love “Old Money”, one of the best songs of hers
Also beautiful
MY FAV BY HER
yes!! one of my favorites
YES
@LouisianasQueenLuisaMorgadoBlue banisters on top
I read somewhere that these lyrics:
"Oh what can I do?
Nothing, my sparrow blue"
were a real dialogue between her and her boyfriend. He answered her that she can't do anything and called her his sparrow. It makes this song even sadder.
Thanks ❤
really? where did you see that? that's sad but actually beautiful, like black beauty
calling her his sparrow means something I'm not catching at first glance? english is not my native language so if there's some known meaning that I'm not aware about I would very much appreciate a reply :] thanks

as a lana del rey stan who’s studying psychology in uni, i’m loving these reactions. also - today’s her birthday!
by the way, i love the wallpaper in the background 🤩
I see Lana, I click
Happy birthday Lana Del Rey!!! She’s 38 now!!
I laughed so hard when you asked "she dated my ex?" 🤣🤣
3:07 “he’s unfixable” listen to Shades Of Cool she says this exact line :) it’s in the same album too! 💗
She wrote this song and basically the whole Ultraviolence album about Barrie, he struggled with depression and that’s why they broke up 🥺 despite she tried to bring him up, like you said, it was not her job 😭
4:48-7:45 This whole dialogue 😢
This is one of my favorite songs by her.
The entire Ultraviolence album is incredible.
“I think she might’ve dated my ex” SENT ME😭 I think this is why we all love her so much, there’s such a relatability ❤️
Black Bathing Suit it’s also a great song that tells a little bit more of Lana
I LOVE BLACK BEAUTY SO MUCH!! This is my favorite song of all the time 🫶🏼✨
"He's unfixable", Lana says "You're unfixable" in her song Shades of Cool from the same album Black Beauty is from, Ultraviolence.
This is from her Ultraviolence album, where, as another commenter pointed out, the central themes surround the idea of wanting to simultaneously please/appeal to and change/fix the men she’s romantically involved with.

MERE DID THIS FOR LANA'S BIRTHDAY
"Oh, what can i do?"
Wait 4 Mend with Mere to post, that's what! Thank you for the DEDICATION, we love every reaction, interpretation and advice! ^^
I found myself obsessed with your reactions to Lana 🩷
I think many people miss a lot of Lana’s humor or sarcasm in her lyrics.

So agree with this 100%.
Happy birthday Lana! She's playing here in the UK this weekend at Glastonbury. Keep on doing what you are doing Mere. Love the analysis

Thank you for your reaction!🥰 Looking forward to the next ones😁
No he wasn’t jealous of her at all! Barrie didn’t want fame he just sings and plays guitar because he loves doing it
her songs with or about barrie are the best 😭
Wow that’s so sad omg
the part you say they could meet themselves later is the main ideia of Flipside (song).
@@heavenboulevard Do you know what other of her songs are believed to be about him?
Another one in such a short time 😍 and on Lana's birthday❤

this song is a bonus track from ultraviolence, arguably her darkest album (honeymoon is also a good candidate), about a very toxic relationship that ended up hurting everyone involved

lana’s catalogue is full of controversial themes that somehow we can all relate in a way, it’s just as painful as it is beautiful
Lana's celebrating 38th birthday today! I love your reactions!
By minute 4 of this video I was already crying, damn. Thank you for doing this song, it's one of my favorite ones by Lana 🖤

Their is a song called Riverside that is by Lana and the guy she sings about in this song. Its pretty good and only came out a few years ago even though they broke up a long while ago
00:12 Ultraviolence! Also my fav song from Ultraviolence😂😂
I get so excited when you post a new Lana video!! You're the best. Ty!!
Rewatching every single one of your Lana reactions just to say that you are amazing and I love you
Part of the backstory of this song is that lana has had 2 laptops stolen and hundreds of unreleased songs were leaked and posted this was her most popular unreleased song to the point people thought it was official so she remastered it and put it on her next album
I'm still a relative newbie. Are you saying Lana had laptops stolen around 10 years ago and not just the one that was stolen from her car last year?
@myopia2020 Yeah, i think it was after paradise was released because she put this song on ultraviolence. There are fanmade albums of their favorite songs on TH-cam and her first album that she made as "Lizzy Grant." Google said, "Say yes to heaven" leaked in 2014, so I guess that's when it was stolen.

one of the songs that got me hooked onto her, so good 🖤🖤🖤
I can’t remember if you did Violet For Roses already, but it’s a great song, it’s the opposite of Black Beauty
Ultraviolence is her darkest album imo. But it's my favorite one
that song is so amazing
Lol @4:07🤣 The unreleased "Life Is Beautiful" would a great one to react to.
i clicked so fast when i saw you uploaded
Thank you for giving us these ♥
My pleasure! 🤍
this song is so unbelievably painful for me, you explained it all so beautifully. thank you
Terrance loves you next please
Do ‘old money’ next! One of her saddest songs. It’s also off of the album ultraviolence
Your videos had become my favourite videos
Arcadia next please😢❤
i love your videos sm
❤ great reaction.
Tysm for the reaction, btw black beauty is a deluxe track from ultraviolence
Shades of cool and cruel world next please!!!!
Its a really deep song for Lana, she was crying while explaining what its about
do cruel world or shades of cool next
Love this one, great break down as usual. I really got into this song when my dog was diagnosed with cancer. We tried everything to help him, but he succumbed to the disease. I was playing this song for myself so much. "oh, what can I do?" because there was nothing I could do. "Life is beautiful but you don't have a clue" and I knew that the world was full of beautiful things, and that year (2019) before he got sick, was going really well. But it just broke me. I had to feel my feelings of deep grief and there was no escaping it.
And it's interesting you used the description of "unfixable" because in Shades of Cool, the chorus is literally "But you are unfixable, I can't break through your world, 'cause you live in shades of cool, your heart is unbreakable" This song also reminds me of my first boy-friend I had as an adult who was an alcoholic. I remember asking him, "why don't you spend the day sober?" and he responded with "Now, why would I do that?" It was a hard time and I was very naive. He also lived on a street that was named Belair, so that song reminds me of him too. I hope he's doing well today. He was very self-destructive. Anyway, I hope you're doing well, Mere. Bright and light colors look beautiful on you! 💜
This made me cry bc my dog isn’t doing too well at the moment and this comment changes how I see the song. Thank you so much for sharing 🤍
