she is a great story teller, a roller coaster.
You seem underwhelmed. Totally legit but care to elaborate on what went on ik your heads? Indeed she's a poet and a storyteller. Truth gets sacrificed for good storytelling. Some people went too far and thought she was advocating doing coke and whoring yourself out. Like, read a fairytale sometime shiiit.
Don't mean you!! I love your honest reaction! I meant the sum of all the backlash Lana received over the past years from critics and fans.
@@GreetingsFromBlackwoodFarm i dont think we were underwhelmed, its a great song and story with a great video to go along with it. there are a lot of ways to interpret the song/video and i think they could and more than likely would be different if not viewed together
the main take away i think both of us got from ride is a sense of being fortunate with our lives and life choices and balance of party survival and adventure. plus its not always a cut and dry choice that gets you to your point in life, things spiral fast.
i also think if any artist is going to get backlash from fans or critics, they arent fans and fuck critics. you have to accept them as the ppl they are flaws and all. just like you enjoy their art and glad they explore, even if that means not every song is for you
I think she carries the essence of Taoism in this project, it’s her most misunderstood project to date in my opinion. The freedom she speaks of is one that challenges you to think outside of your perspective & any that you’d ever entertain without making sure the life/view of life you currently have is always in reach and you can retreat back to because it’s soo taboo especially in our modern society. She invites you to fully immerse into and feel your true nature, the multitudes of your self, stepping out of your comfort zone and just being and living, learning, loving, losing with an immense grasp of what having hope really means. She captures where she loses a lot of people in the line “ When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing how I had been living, they asked me why, but there’s no use talking to people who have a home..”, you could never teach that feeling /fully grasp that concept of lose/freedom only understand through particular life experiences. Also you could say her perspective of freedom challenges yours, of working until you achieve enough money and can do whatever you want but how many of us work until we die and never get to that point you know, you become a slave in pursuit of capitalism, when you live like this and believe in the kindness of strangers you don’t think “ where am I gonna eat next ..” in the way someone in society caught up in the rat race would, it’s a whole different perspective of life that can really be hard to understand by many in our society which is why I applaud her work because she doesn’t care how unusual she is/lives it’s all about a “fire for every experience” and knowing that there is more in reading in between the lines than you could ever fathom. This life she’s portraying in this era is just like you said the steps you have to take to achieve your peace she knew what she was doing “ And if I said I didn’t plan for it to turn out this way I’d be lying” it’s a untethered feeling from control but you’re in control always it’s weird to explain in text, she’s very young here all these experiences were collected from her life at 27 and younger, her growth from this era to her current state in Chemtrails is magnificent, and is soaked from wisdoms learned from the life experiences and perspectives she’s entertained on her journey.
I enjoyed the reaction from you guys, as always! 👏🏾👏🏾🤙🏾
@@BestFriendsReact You set the bar to high with reaction to Summer time sadness 😁
I think Lana would make an incredible actress. She really needs to do a movie.
@Emi Lady The girl they picked for Priscilla is pretty mediocre herself. How unfortunate.
she made a movie, called "Tropico"
You are soo right!
Bond girl.
I confirm my conclusion, like the myth said about the beautiful voice of mermaids, Lana is like a mermaid, she attracts men from all ages and cultures; there's something so ethereal, beautiful, deep, emotional and nostalgic about her, you just fall in love with her.
Ride is such an important song to me now because it makes me reflect on my 18 year old depressed self. I sing it with so much gratitude on how her music has helped me feel my emotions fully. It’s the perfect music for people like me who get sad for no particular reason and don’t connect to love songs
I still find it thoroughly fascinating that a song can take you back to such a specific time and place
THIS!!!
My perception of this song is - there is a tribe everyone belongs to, its just a matter of time will you find your own.
I like it
To understand 'Ride', you have to have a notion of Lana's history, in fact as you advance in her music and her lyrics, you understand much more the structure of her art, her vision, her history.
On the video it is evident that it is about a girl who is really hurt with a very dark past and that now on stage she is not happier or less wild, she is a girl who finds herself traveling, she is wrong but she is comforted to feel free.
A piece of art
This is my perspective. Lana once said her music is 100 % autobiographical. But I thnik it’s important do distinguish between music (lyrics) she writes and videos. The videos are interesting beautiful, but imaginary stories, in her visuals she is creating a different reality, another dimension if you will.
i dont think she was homeless but she did like go out a lot and met people and drove around
her mind
Chemtrails Over The Country Club Album, White Dress video and now Ride (reaction by you guys) what a great day to be a Lana Stan (Called Gangsters too)
She should have won an Emmy just for her leaning over the video game.... her submission
“nobody cares about this song”
this is probably my favorite lana song :/
there were sooooo many requests for this one, its obviously a favorite for a lot of people.... for good reason
Sean and Chris were definitely joking when they said nobody cares, because everyone has been requesting relentlessly (myself included lol) for them to react to Ride since their first Lana reaction video! It truly is one of her masterpieces for sure ☺️
It was sarcasm.
@@BestFriendsReact me not realising... oops
All good!
YEEEESSSS!!! I WAS DYING TO WATCH YOUR REACTION TO THIS AMAZING PIECE OF ART!!! Thanks guys, you’re the bestest!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
I love how Lana leaves whoever listens to her speechless and hypnotized
I always felt like this song was a metaphor for “just keep going”. When your mind is not a peace, you feel that conflict even more so when you’re stagnant. You shut down, and get lost in the battles with the different demons and traumas from your past. Most people go for walks, or go work out, to “let off some steam”, but this song just paints the picture of finding that release on the road. Maybe a car ride may do it for some, but the rush of the wind, the feeling of flying is incomparable. The various men in the video are also seeking the same release, an escape from whatever torments them. A chance to feel uninhibited, and not alone; be it anonymously with a lover, or in a crowd of others who create the safe-space for them to do so. Her melancholy and loneliness ultimately follow her with every man, every situation she found herself in, but these moments were a surge of electricity for her. Momentary, maybe, but always looking for more. In constant danger of finding more trouble. Risky, but thrilling. Crazy. The dichotomy of freedom and being tethered to the fight within us. For her, freedom is in those moments. On that bike. With those men. With those road dogs. In the open air, her issues gone with the wind.
We all have our escapes, our releases. We all get tired of feeling fucking crazy. That’s why this song resonates. A reminder to just ride.
Finally finally finally!!! So excited for this reaction!!!! Also her 7th (!) studio album was released today and I know it’s going to take awhile to get through her discography but white dress is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard ever
im excited to hear it!
So happy you reacted to this!! My favorite song she’s ever done!! So amazing! I always got the sense that this was about enjoying the little things, and never giving up because in the end it all turns out all right!
that would be the optimistic outlook, i like that her songs make different ppl think differently about the same topic
@@BestFriendsReact Can I ask you an honest question. If it were a guy playing Lana's part in the video, would you be as concerned for him?
I would be less concerned with safety but just as concerned about choices and rationalizations
@@BestFriendsReact Well, Lana likes to
exaggerate a bit, she'll be fine ;)
Lana is the best songwriter of this generation. There I said it. This video and the monologue are so fucked up but so beautiful and raw. Masterpiece.
Lana has finally become that beautiful poet ❤️ this video is 2012(I think), she has gone a long road. I love your reactions!
Great reaction & breakdown guys!! Loved how you both started bobbing your heads when the first chorus hit. Wish I could listen to her again for the first time, especially this song! I saw her in concert a few years ago and she sounded amazing live. Look forward to more, check out Born to Die by her (the song) if you guys haven’t heard it already. That and Ride are some of my favorites by her.
I would love to see her live, i bet she is amazing! And I miss concerts sooooo much lol... We did check out born to die! th-cam.com/video/CEX97QOx_XE/w-d-xo.html
@@BestFriendsReact omg I knowww I miss them too!!! Thank you, I’ll check it out! Another favorite from her BTD album is “Radio” - no music video for it but that song is a dream and deserved to be a single. Totally recommend that one
Lana is why most of us here.. I atleast am crazy with her voice and words. Luv BFR 🌹
OH MY GOSH IM SO EARLY FOR THIS I LOVE IT IM FINNA WATCH IT AND EDIT THIS COMMENT W MY OPINION AFTER I FINISH THE VIDEO LOL IM EXCITED
Edit: as expected i loved the video, i love that you guys so curious about the storytelling, and btw lana is a poet too!!!
she is very captivating
For me this song is just heartbreaking I feel empathy for her because I feel like I've been battling my whole life with my own demons too. This song instantly became a classic for me for that reason and her vocals are insane.
Yes you guys posted, I love your Lana reviews
Great reaction and thankfully you let the song play ,
one of the best mv of the decade
thanks for the video, happy to see you! SO EXCITED FOR THE TROPICO!!!❤️✨
Oh my gosh thank you guys! You're finally the first men I've seen react to this video that actually brings up the fact that she's a sex worker. Most of the men I see react to this don't seem to get it and are like "oh she's living her life so free and does want she wants" lol. And I'm just doing a face palm. I'm so glad you picked up on the theme here and talked about how she isn't likely living this lifestyle by choice but out of need for survival.
She just writes in metaphors and this is one of those coming of ages and into your own kind of songs. Like finding freedom. I love how she expresses emotions she’s felt into cinematic stories that are a fictional representation of her experiences that left her with the same lessons and emotions.
I like that everytime you guys pause, you go fews seconds back and then play the video.
It takes me a couple of secs to get back in the rhythm and make sure I don't miss anything
I was waiting for this reaction. No one gets me in my feelings like Lana. I think we all question our sanity at some point in our lives. It's such a lonely feeling.....yet we all have felt, feel or will feel it at some point in our lives. I personally don't see it as she's an addict or prostitute and what comes along with it. I think it's everyone's story and struggle to find who they are and what they are meant to be in life. Transcends, background, age, ethnicity, sex etc. It's just the human struggle...as simple yet highly complex as that.
Love your reactions, dont forgot to react to: Chelsea Hotel and Young and Beautiful mv
Gods and monsters!!
I like the last few lines of this song when she says "Are you in touch with your darkest fantasies and have you created a life for yourself where you get to experience them? I have, I am fucking crazy....but I am free" and they feel to me like the key to the cypher that is Lana del Rey, becauase it feels like each and every of her songs are these windows into the life of these tortured, sad or ecstatic characters and she - as an artist - gets to live through them her own wildest fantasies. It's almost as books are to the reader, you get to be Captain Ahab one day and chase whales, and then you get to be a writer on the road during the beat era the next day, and then you get to be Anna Karenina and suffer and commit su***de out of love and so on. She has created her perfect life which lets her create all these beautiful worlds and beautiful people. And the fact that she's never telling us for sure that these are or aren't her own experiences allows us to live all these stories along with her and imagine her as the character. It's brilliant. She has created this imagined world which some might call crazy, but in her world she is free to be whatever and whomever she wants and to live for her art. BTW not to say she didn't go through stuff, I mean all that inspiration must come from real life, but maybe it din't happen exactly like in the stories. After all, that's what a good storyteller does, tells even the sadest or most basic story in a wat that makes you think or feel, in a way that moves you.
YESS!!! ive been waiting for you guys to react to it!!!!
so "Tropico" next week?? yessss
no a la escuela estoy tan al pendiente como de estas Reacciones 😍🤚🏼😂
This music video is so inspiring for me, a photographer and aspiring film maker, thank you for doing this!
You guys are amazing 🙌🏽
I love Lana , is dream , it is poetry,
Beatiful react ^_^
For Chelsea Hotel do the live at Radio Music Hall duet with Adam Cohen as a tribute to Leonard Cohen.
Fuuuck yes, my absolute favorite cover she’s ever done
We live for the Lana del Rey reactions 😳😳😳 can you react to off to the races audio, there’s no video but it’s a cool song
i think we are going to stick to songs with a video element to it for the channel, but we both sincerely enjoy her and will listen to it all over time... thank you for the suggestion!
Great reaction guya 😍😍😍
You should react to her whole latest album, it is a folk masterpiece!! love all of your reactions and I love that you react to a lot of different genres!!!
Love your Lana reacts! Y’all should check FKA Twigs too. Start with Cellophane. So incredible!
Thank you!
Make sure y’all react to white dress Lana’s new music video
debating on doing it next or staying in order like we have been
I got a hunch about why the Indian headdress, cause as she sung “I’m crazy”
great reactions, you guys should watch some of her live performances. it1s pretty cool. keep it up!
young and beautiful next
You absolutely have to react to Freak by Lana too! The music video is so good
Tropico is epic!
Left guy: “i don’t think this lifestyle is desirable”
Lana: “Im crazy… but Im free”
Left guy: “i think its because of perspective”
But she literally explained it was the happiest time of her life...
She's basically the female version of Johnny Cash. Hard life with drama? Sure. But who doesn't have drama. She at least lived life on her terms.
I think the roads and bikers are just metaphors ... Maybe they represent her career and her life as an artist struggling her way to fame in Hollywood? That one rich guy in white shirt looked like a producer, almost a mirror image of the powerful and free bikers on the open road - both being people who don't exactly abide by the rules of an honest (and restricted) lifestyle.
EPIC. A woman can understand this in a way that men cannot.
Yayyy I clicked so fast lol
Loved your reaction ❤ please react to "off to the races"
Hey guys 😉 I like her voice 😁
Whish you a good song hunt this weekend 😜🏹🏹🏹🎯
See you tomorrow 😉❤️
Thank you!
Today was released white dress video, I hope you can see soon and react since is a new video and it could recieve more attention (my first lenguaje is not english so I dont know if I write correctly but I try and I am too lazy to use traductor)

West Coast next pleasee ❤❤
Lana Young and Beautiful Please 😍
Just her eyes and her smile could make any straight man fall in love.
She just released a new music video you have to check it
Hi guys the next video you should to react is not Bel Air solo video, I think is better the Trópico Short film, with 3 songs. Body Electric, God's and Monsters and Bel Air, combined in a one story of the EP Born to Die, the Paradise Edition
Best video. But from Paradise EP, after songs from Tropico, check out
1) American
2) Cola.
Gonna worth your while and get some laughs lol
Thank you!
Guy on the left is so damn cute!
Can you react to gods and monsters? It’s for me the best lana’s song
don’t forget about burning desire, it’s from the same album as ride but i don’t think it’s linked to her playlists
we wont!
It’s all true, really. Here’s a little clip from a 2014 interview where she talks about it, it’s like 2 minutes:
th-cam.com/video/1CoucJU04DI/w-d-xo.html
thats both awesome and awful, thank you for the link
amazing........reaction................do check out the young and beautiful
Young and beautiful react pleaseeee
It sounds dumb but I don’t do drugs much… did shrooms once though, first time, and listened to this and I swear it was one of the craziest experiences of my life. Can’t even describe it like I was the music, could Individually hear every instrument, it was wild
React to Tropico, please 🥺

Listen to 13 year old Angelina Jordan’s version. It will blow your minds!
I wanna be friends with yous so bad
you are!
You on the right mumble a lot, I don't think you mean it but it feels like you don't care and that you're annoyed. It would also help if you talked to the camera just a bit. Otherwise we don't feel connected to you guys.
Just some constructive criticism, hope you get it
thanks, appreciate the criticism!
i beg to differ on you saying how you said it was not a freedom to survive each day. Isn't that what everyone is doing each day going to work? even though you may have money in your account and savings yet you are stuck in this cycle of repetitiveness. you are working for this so called country called "America" where privilege is only given to those who are of a certain color, gender and class. I am Native American and access to a job but no access to clean water or electricity i get it. We called our home where ever we laid our head down because this land is our home but our home was taken, so living free is not idolizing towards these western cultures that signified that the "white man" was correct to colonize our life.
please do Amy Winehouse - You know I'm No Good
thats a great suggestion, thank you!
Too many pauses. Just enjoy the show man.
I appreciate the criticism. We don't purposely pause, we just do when something comes to mind. We have had comments saying too many pauses, too few of pauses, we talk to much or we don't talk enough lol... Can't win sometimes
no offense but you guys have no idea, i wouldn't expect men who try and match their inside hats to their shirt to cover their hairline, people do seek this life because they want to. Big thing in Australia.
I like how you say no offense but yet still try to talk shit before your point... I hope you have a happy life lmao
♥️
