her nickname is lizzy grant, which is the name she started with as well as lana del ray, which was her first name before del rey, only there was a mistake when placing the name of her first album and they put ray instead of rey.
Lana ALWAYS writes all of her songs (her real name is Elizabeth Grant). She says she's a poet first and singer second. The only ones she doesn't get credit for are the ones she covers of course :)
Fun fact- Pretty When You Cry was recorded live, freestyled, and was done in one take with the guitar and session drummer. Obviously they added melodies and stuff later but pretty impressive!
Ooohh haha well that makes me feel silly. Curious why she's listed as Lana on the others then instead of Elizabeth. Thanks for that anyway, I was like there is no way someone else wrote these so perfectly matched with her style!
@@EvolveSongwriting Someone can correct me if i'm wrong but i think it's because she wrote and copyrighted those songs when she was performing under her birth name - Lizzy Grant, but then she released those songs on the albums years later, under her new stage name Lana Del Rey.
@@faustnox1575 not sure about west coast, but old money was definitely a song she had been working on before she shifted into Lana Del Rey, it was originally called “methamphetamines”
black beauty in my opinion is one of the most stunning songs she’s ever written. Truly grand and beautiful, even if the subject of the song is heartbreaking. Chord progression, melodies, delivery, lyrical content make it such a masterpiece🥲
I'm mainly a metalhead, but damn, LDR is something special. Particularly this album, Chemtrails Over the Country Club, and the best one: Norman F**king Rockwell. Really haven't heard an indie/dreampop artist that can affect you like she does. Incredible.
lmao i have encountered a lot of guys listening mainly on metalheads who likes Lana particularly the Chemtrails saying it's one of their hard core songs. so is it true then?
Lana truly doesn’t get the credit she deserves for being so different from everyone else. She’s great at creating a picture in the mind’s eye and has lyrics that again, are very one of a kind.
There are also two additional songs on other versions of the album (is this happiness and flipside) you should definitely listen to, especially flipside!
She wrote "West Coast" and all her songs (besides covers) SHE IS Elizabeth 😭 But besides that, love your reactions! Please listen her last album "Blue Banisters"
Writing some comments as I watch your analysis: -She does have a song that was thought for a Bond movie, but it's on her next album Honeymoon, it's called '24'. -The male voice at the end of 'Brooklyn Baby' is Barry James O'Neill's, her boyfriend at the time. This line was originally planned to be recorded with Lou Reed himself (who's referenced in the song!) but he passed away the day that Lana flew in to NYC to record. -Ultraviolence might be her album with the most bits of guitar, she experiments with other sounds in her other albums. I'm really enjoying your Lana series, I hope we can see more of your reactions to the rest of her albums. :)
I’m so happy I found your channel. I love how thorough you are with picking up on so many elements of her music. I am in love with the way you play along with it as well and your knowledge of music. I feel like I learn something Everytime I see one of your videos! Honestly becoming a fav channel to watch ❤
You should definitely react to her whole discography. I love your reactions & analysis. And Lana is definitely the best artist today, in my opinion anyway. She's my 2nd fave of all time, behind only Pink Floyd. Thank you for bringing me back to when I first discovered her. My favorites on this album have to be Shades of Cool and Old Money, but it's one of my favorite albums of hers, along with NFR and Honeymoon.
I looooved your review!! You will really like Honeymoon next, it has that cinematic feel and magical lyrics you appreciated in here. And it’s okay, every Lana stan has its time recognizing that they are Elizabeth stans too
old money is actually an older song, i believe it was written around 2006 under the name “methamphetamines” .. there is a demo that can be found with different lyrics but same melody :)
Just found your channel and i’m absolutely happy i did! thank for such a detailed review of this masterpiece, hope you’ll check out more of Lana’s works :)
Old Money is one of my favorite songs because it’s melody is sampled from “What is a youth” from the original Romeo & Juliet film in 1968. That’s where Nino Rita comes in on the credits. She did an awesome job with it
Also in FMWUTP one of the producers was Emile Haynie, he also worked with Florence+The Machine on High As Hope, which I highly recommend for you to listen and analyze. And Florence music in general, there’s just so much going on with both vocals and production!
Love the videos! I like how you break down and play the chord progressions - very interesting takes. One thing I noticed that I realized I didn’t like about this album while relistening to it with you is how overly drenched her vocals are in reverb :/ I loved it in 2014 in high school, but I my likes have change over the years. That’s why I love Norman F Rockwell because Jack Antonoff made her vocals more clear.
interesting insight. i actually like it because it's kind of like she was overshadowed by the darkness created by the world where both her and her lover shared, which what the album suggests in its totality.
lmaooo I was so hoping for you to go “who’s this elizabeth grant chick that keeps coming up?” and googling her so we could see your reaction when you realized haha
i loved his reaction to the tempo change of west coast, i remember when i first heard it i was like wtf is happening and then when it went back i was like wow this is crazy, then at the end when it adds that west coast synth in the background intensifying against the super smooth chorus repeating again, it’s literally my favorite song of all time because it’s so unique!
Loving your Lana reactions! The Other Woman is a cover, she has them on a couple albums. So happy you did the deluxe version! Your face at the West Coast change up is all of us the first time we hear it lol I always look forward to everyone's reaction to it. Same with Cola which you'll hear on Paradise. There are compilation videos of people just reacting to the first line of Cola lol
i would have loved to see you reacting to is this happiness and flipside, which are two additional tracks that unfortunately are not on streaming services
Please do more Lana! Her older albums are the best imo and you're clearly the kind of guy who can appreciate them. Also random songs that aren't really part of any proper album and unreleased and underrated tracks (from her Lizzy Grant days), like Burning Desire, Wayamaya, Yes to Heaven, Beautiful Player, Heart-shaped Box (Nirvana cover), Angels Forever, Mermaid Motel, Fine China, Big Eyes, Kill Kill, Serial Killer, Smarty and I Don't Wanna Go are some of the best.
I think I have a specific fav album from Lana… but then I listen to another Lana album and then that becomes my fav lol. My fav Lana album is whatever album I’m listening to at the time. This album however has so much pain for me. It was during the end of a very long 12 year toxic relationship. So this album is burned into my mind on a COMPLETELY different level. Honeymoon album is also my fav. It really is so classy and sophisticated. I love how she took vintage orchestral and dark symphonies and really served us some very classy energy.
I just found your channel. Thanks for reminding me what a great fckn album this is. I listened to it over and over for probably a year after it first came out. It lined up very well with my messy era lol. Love it. Thanks.
Brooklyn Baby was supposed to be a featuring with Lou Read, but he died the day they were supposed to record the song. The male voice at the end it’s because of that
i wish i knew more about production as you, like when you mentioned at 55:53 about the vintage vibrato, i have no idea what you're talking about but it's amazing that you can catch small things of the sort :)
It sticks out like a sore thumb when you know what to listen for! The 'musical theatre' style vibrato has a much more exaggerated pitch variation versus staying on the same note and using just changing volume (which is really tremolo, not vibrato!)
One unreleased song that she dind't put on the album, which fits between UV and shades of cool is CULT LEADER , all in that song is a completely wonder
That's just not true. I don't know why y'all Lana stans always have to come up with the most stupid fun facts every time, you probably don't know the first thing about the recording process of music.
you have to listen to chemtrail. It has some interesting structures. Then her latest album Blue Banisters has more acoustic elements but it's also great.
Yeah , I mean lanas music has alot to talk about and it's not easy to get everything in first listen but I definitely want him to pay more attention to the lyrics 🌸

I am well aware now that Elizabeth Grant is Lana's real name, my apologies 😅
oh man 😂
Boy almost got witchcrafted 😂
stopp this is so funny LOL i'm glad you're aware now i was tryna tell you through my screen "Elizabeth Grant IS Lana!" hhahahahaha!
her nickname is lizzy grant, which is the name she started with as well as lana del ray, which was her first name before del rey, only there was a mistake when placing the name of her first album and they put ray instead of rey.
@@MatiasCabrera22334she’s Elizabeth Grant it’s not just nickname
Elizabeth Grant is so talented. She should become a singer!
Lmao 🤣
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH LMAOOOOOO, BTW TRUE. U made me laugh ty
Lmaooo
I CRIEDDD
BYE
Lana ALWAYS writes all of her songs (her real name is Elizabeth Grant). She says she's a poet first and singer second. The only ones she doesn't get credit for are the ones she covers of course :)
the only song she didn’t write on the album is “The Other Woman” which is a cover, Elizabeth Grant is her real name! ;)
i died when he thought it wasn't her
she didn’t write brooklyn baby either
@@kimmmyyyy76 yes she did she has writing credits
@@kimmmyyyy76 yes, she did.
@@kimmmyyyy76 she did
Elizabeth grant is Lana del Rey’s real name. She written 100% of all her songs
shes done a few covers like the other woman on ultraviolence
she does covers like doin time and the other woman
With Ultraviolence she defined her career, she was against everyone expected from her at that time, iconic.
Fun fact- Pretty When You Cry was recorded live, freestyled, and was done in one take with the guitar and session drummer. Obviously they added melodies and stuff later but pretty impressive!
she said she always does songs in one take too! rly impressive
Thought she did it for the whole album 😳🙈
i've been a fan since before ultra violence and i just found this out lol
…and she used a $10 microphone!
You CANNOT stop these lana del rey reactions. You HAVE to react to her whole discography now that you’ve started😩🫵/hj
On West Coast and Old Money - Elizabeth Grant is Lana Del Rey's real name ;)
Ooohh haha well that makes me feel silly. Curious why she's listed as Lana on the others then instead of Elizabeth. Thanks for that anyway, I was like there is no way someone else wrote these so perfectly matched with her style!

Period
my top song
Elizabeth W. Grant is such an icon & amazing lyricist. I wonder if she’s making new music for Lana Banana💗
😂

‘Its a shame she didnt write it (west coast)’ boiled my brain😭😭😭 Elizabeth grant is lana’s real name😭😭
Ultraviolence transports me to another world, idk how to explain it🔥
yesss
Lana truly doesn’t get the credit she deserves for being so different from everyone else. She’s great at creating a picture in the mind’s eye and has lyrics that again, are very one of a kind.

yes, react to them PLEASE
PLEASE
I can’t find flip side anywhere??
@@salxvv it’s a Japan exclusive so you can only find it on TH-cam or SoundCloud
She wrote "West Coast" and all her songs (besides covers) SHE IS Elizabeth 😭
But besides that, love your reactions! Please listen her last album "Blue Banisters"
excited to see the rest of her albums!!
Do you think they’ll be uploaded by tomorrow ??? 😁🫶🏻
OMG, this is a perfect album, no skips at all, an absolute masterpiece

The male voice on Brooklyn Baby is credited to Seth Kaufman.

Wow thank you so much!
wish i could listen to this album for the first time again 🥺 such a heavenly experience ✨

One of Lana's best albums. I wish she wrote her new album using the same tones, vibes and stylistic
She was supposed to release a rock-influenced Ultraviolence type album called Rock Candy Sweet, but it was cancelled :(
Don't get so hard on yourself for not knowing Elizabeth Grant is Lana lol. Now you know. Love to see an appreciation for Florida Kilos, finally:p
old money is actually an older song, i believe it was written around 2006 under the name “methamphetamines” .. there is a demo that can be found with different lyrics but same melody :)
This melody was in an old Romeo and Juliet film
Elizabeth Grant is Lana, so she did write west coast!
ultraviolence is one of my all-time favorites albums
loved your reaction! i dont know if you pointed it out, but Pretty When You Cry was freestyled and this makes me love it even more
Definitely one of her best albums
Your reactions to Lana's albums are the best.
a masterpiece.
loved the reaction!! maybe react to her album honeymoon or lust for life next!
Respectfully, those are her two worst albums 😭
@@shortsontap99 respectfully my ass 💀 honeymoon is pure cinematic excellence 😭 you need to be in the right mindset to experience and appreciate it 😌
@@shortsontap99 lol wtf no…Honeymoon is her best album. Lust For Life is very good as well. Blue Banisters & BTD are her worst.
I'd say Chemtrails and Blue Banisters are even tho I have songs I still listen to religiously off both
All the Lana fans yelling at the screen... Elizabeth is Lana!!!! Give her credit!!!😅😅😅
Kinda big oopsie...😢
@@EvolveSongwriting Well, now you know 😄
28:53 I knew you would get crazy with West Coast 😍😍😍👌
Just found your channel and i’m absolutely happy i did! thank for such a detailed review of this masterpiece, hope you’ll check out more of Lana’s works :)
really hoping for honeymoon reaction btw!
I love how she can paint a picture with her voice
And words, I should add!
I Lana Stan since 2011 and I feel so good knowing that I Stan the best singer songwriter producer poet performant of the century .
Old Money is one of my favorite songs because it’s melody is sampled from “What is a youth” from the original Romeo & Juliet film in 1968. That’s where Nino Rita comes in on the credits. She did an awesome job with it
Also in FMWUTP one of the producers was Emile Haynie, he also worked with Florence+The Machine on High As Hope, which I highly recommend for you to listen and analyze. And Florence music in general, there’s just so much going on with both vocals and production!
Nobody was ready for this album in 2014. She was so far ahead of her time that people were confused when this album first came out
Love the videos! I like how you break down and play the chord progressions - very interesting takes.
One thing I noticed that I realized I didn’t like about this album while relistening to it with you is how overly drenched her vocals are in reverb :/ I loved it in 2014 in high school, but I my likes have change over the years.

There are compilation videos of people just reacting to the first line of Cola lol
Commenting for the algorithm
Please continue reacting to her , I really enjoy watching your analyzes about chords and melodies.
loved watching this as someone obsessed with this album
west coast and guns and roses are my 2 favs of this album
Cass reacts has the best insight into Lana's lyrics. I really understand her soul now.
i would have loved to see you reacting to is this happiness and flipside, which are two additional tracks that unfortunately are not on streaming services
Is this happiness is on Apple Music
Please do more Lana! Her older albums are the best imo and you're clearly the kind of guy who can appreciate them. Also random songs that aren't really part of any proper album and unreleased and underrated tracks (from her Lizzy Grant days), like Burning Desire, Wayamaya, Yes to Heaven, Beautiful Player, Heart-shaped Box (Nirvana cover), Angels Forever, Mermaid Motel, Fine China, Big Eyes, Kill Kill, Serial Killer, Smarty and I Don't Wanna Go are some of the best.

I hope you do all Lana's albums. If you accept any recs, mine is Hozier. He's fantastic.
Love this kind of reactions 😍😍😍 great work 👌👌
Can't wait to hear you do the rest of her discography!!!!
Lana's real name is Elizabeth Grant. She writes all her music. :)
Elizabeth Grant is such a good writer, so glad Lana was able to sing one of her written songs
Amazing reaction! blue banisters or honeymoon next please!
grettings from mexico!
This is up there with 'Nevermind' for me. Banger after banger!
I just found your channel. Thanks for reminding me what a great fckn album this is. I listened to it over and over for probably a year after it first came out. It lined up very well with my messy era lol. Love it. Thanks.

React to her Paradise album!
Elizabeth Grant is her real name :)
YOOOOOO excited to watch this
lana writes all of her music! elizabeth grant is her real name
Fun Fact : ALL the songs are recorded in ONE take...
That's just not true. I don't know why y'all Lana stans always have to come up with the most stupid fun facts every time, you probably don't know the first thing about the recording process of music.
If you think shades of cool sounds like a james bond type on song wait till you hear 24
Every time you said she didn’t write a song we all got irrationally angry
you have to listen to chemtrail. It has some interesting structures. Then her latest album Blue Banisters has more acoustic elements but it's also great.
Elizabeth Grant is Lana Del Rey
why is he commenting on the production and vocals more than the lyrics?😭
Yeah , I mean lanas music has alot to talk about and it's not easy to get everything in first listen but I definitely want him to pay more attention to the lyrics 🌸
he's more of a production type of guy.
Ultraviolence is my holy bible.
Thank you 🙏
FINALLY
Auerbach is super underrated as a producer. Love him in the Black Keys but he needs to produce more imo.
Fav Lana record
Elizabeth Grant is Lana:)
Please, you shoult check and lister her least album: did you that there's a tunnel under ocean blvd. It's a gem!!
She's the best.
we love a whole album gang!
12:30 the fact that this are 2 different words 🤣 (violins and violence)
LOVE IT
can't wait til you do Blue Banisters!!!!
Did he already react to Honeymoon? 😍
There's two extra songs in the deluxe version of Japan exclusive of ITunes, The names are Is This Hapiness? and Flipside
elizabeth grant in the credits is actually lana's real name haha
Thanks for the reaction :)
I just wanted to let you know that Elizabeth Grant IS Lana del Rey. They are one and the same.
There are also bonus tracks
So crazy to see him like "Elisabeth grant, such a shame it's not lana writing" lol
Lana’s real name is Elizabeth Grant 😭 The whole album is written by her except the other woman
Lana's real name is Elizabeth Grant
U should react to Born to die, paradise too 🥺💕
