Lana Del Rey - Summertime Sadness (REACTION) | Best Friends React

[@BestFriendsReact]

trainwreck of a reaction..... including a literal break for the train

[@sunsinmyeyess]

Almost all of her songs can be distinctly interpreted in many ways because she’s a beautiful poet, superb song builder, and has great teams that she works with to create visuals for her music. I have to admit though you hit the spot on the core meaning of what she was feeling creating this song/video, losing a great friend to suicide. Although its not that hard when you see the visuals, you’d be surprised how many still miss the point by miles, the suicide is just to distracting to a lot. You can always count on her to go to that place of darkness/deepness/light/hope coexisting always, its a hallmark of her art to take you there if you choose. As always you guys delivered a great upload for Lana, have a good one guys. 👏🏾🤙🏾

[@alexanderjcebulski]

Summertime Sadness was written about Lana's best friend who committed suicide. ... Girls especially show their love for their best friends in numerous ways, in this case she is kissing her best friend goodbye. She also wants to see her again so she can tell her how much she meant to her and how much she loved her.

[@subhamsen5200]

Her life is so tragic.. Her ex died due to drugs overdose and this.. No wonder there is always some sadness In her voice....

Your reaction is so touching. You grasped exactly what Lana was aiming for when she recorded this videoclipe. What happens to us when we aren't able to live without a loved one? Be it a lover, a relative or even a best friend.

[@suzg4928]

You two are amazing!! I so appreciate your open raw emotions. Don't feel bad or embarrassed, it is so important and beautiful. Don't ever hide that. Absolutely just became the best Lana reactors and reaction channel period. Incredible. Thank you for sharing your rawness with us all beautiful souls. 😘💞

[@BestFriendsReact]

Thank you for the support!

[@bhamgatsby]

Oh and I love how at the very end you can see kinda of a ghost of herself walking with her.... and how like loosing someone special can make you feel like falling with them or a ghost of your former self or how you were when they were around is no longer there.... just a ghost that walks with you. I lost my bf from high school years ago. We went to prom together. She died in a car crash. I still think of how she made me feel just knowing she was around or reachable......

[@aw-ldr8332]

I hope that’s after y’all finish reacting to Lana’s MV, y’all should start reacting to her album songs. Dark paradise for the same album as summer time sadness had me crying a river.

[@danielbitran2650]

Your soul was reacting to the message of the song about how the only thing that matters is the present moment and the sadness that comes with the realization that everything is passing...

[@christopherorzeszek4689]

this was so endearing to watch y’all get vulnerable with her 😭🙏🏼 she just does that

[@zeusescoven8266]

[@Tereza_K_]

I remember the first time listening to it, when it was released. It hit me the same way. Then I was listening to it every day for a few months. And it is still one of my favourite songs 💗 I can't wait for the Shades Of Cool reaction 💜 You two have done a great job! Keep it up!

[@zleem]

It is widely believed that Lana wrote this song about a very close friend of hers who died through suicide.

[@BestFriendsReact]

summertime sadness is in the air a song that plays here and there get high and feel this music slowly it's all limp and lucid

[@Diegodelrey66]

I can’t wait for y’all to react to love by Lana omg 😭😭😭

[@bhamgatsby]

This song does have such a sad undertone. With it being about a friend of hers dying it makes it even harder. It’s wild that this is her most popular song of her career.... even though she had so many masterpieces to follow. I can honestly say that I love love so many of her songs. It’s wild to think how she has so many at that level of greatness. The best Born to Die era song is Dark Paradise though. And the extra tracks on the deluxe edition are great also. Wait till u get to Young & Beautiful or Happiness is a Butterfly or Old Money... the TEARS!!!

[@ctln528hz]

This song hits so deep, it’s like an anthem for the kind of sadness that lingers in your bones. Summertime Sadness feels like a cry from the soul, capturing the weight of loss, the ache of missing someone, and the emptiness that follows. Every lyric echoes that pain of knowing you can never get them back, yet the memories haunt you like shadows. It’s more than just a song-it’s like Lana has put into words and music the feelings I can’t fully express. The line, ‘I just wanted you to know, that baby, you’re the best,’ is such a heartbreaking reminder of how we sometimes lose the people we love most, and all we’re left with are those memories. As I listen, I feel the heaviness in my chest, and it’s like I’m reliving my own sadness and loss through her voice. As they say, ‘Some scars are felt, not seen’… and this song is a reminder of the scars that stay with us forever.😔

[@Kelleigh95]

Omg when you started crying that was so cute. Boy you gonna be sobbing with Ride.

[@Leeoxyz]

My God I couldn't love you guys more! Excited for the next reactions! Also I would like to add something. Not to take away the emotion from the song, but many believe she wrote it because a friend of hers passed away. It is actually a fan-made story, or at least she has never said anything like that. In an interview, though, she said that she wrote this song at the end of the summer in Santa Monica, reflecting on her Sadness and all her emotions. She has a strong connection with summer: her birthday is on the 21st of June which is the first day of summer! As regards the video they said that they wanted to portray a story between two friends or lovers, whatever you want, where one can't live without the other. So I think that is what inspired the fan-made story that started circulating. However she knows too well the tragic loss of a loved one, in fact one of her ex boyfriends passed away due to a heroin overdose, and she wrote songs about him. I'm so sorry for her. I hope you guys are fine now, and you're always loved! ❤

[@chromaticaking]

This song, especially now, has such a deep meaning to me. I lost my older brother last year and it's insane because I never thought I would lose someone like him. I always would play him Lana and show him the songs I love by her and he always said this song made him sad and to not play it. And now listening to the lyrics of it, it's literally how I feel now that he's no longer her. "I'll miss you forever, like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky" "Even if you're gone I'm gonna ride"

[@BestFriendsReact]

im really sorry to hear this, its hard when a song makes you think of something difficult. but at least its a reminder of someone you love as hard as that might be. its crazy how fast a song can change your whole mood and take you to a place like that

Her most popular song. Even if you’ve never heard of Lana Del Rey, it’s still likely that you’ve heard this song. It was all over the radio when it came out, and so was a terribly annoying remix by Cedric Gervais. The remix was (oddly) nominated for a Grammy (“Best Remixed Recording (Non-Classical)”). Glad you really felt this one though, hope you’re having fun with this Lana journey

yes, the journey with Lana is truly one of the highlights of starting the channel a couple months ago

I am virtually giving you two a warm hug. Sending so much love and waiting anxiously for the next upload. 💖

thank you very much for the support, its sincerely appreciated. I love this LDR journey, i enjoy when an artist makes you feel something or think about something, music has helped me a lot in life and i know it does the same for others...

@@BestFriendsReact that’s not only the power of music, but it’s always a gift when we can share the same feelings across different times and parts of the world with complete strangers.

[@newworldastrology1102]

“Think I’ll miss you forever..” That like seemed to the line that made you feel the most. Just wanted to share, I lost my home and nearly my partner in a house fire. He went back in rescue our cat, miraculously he just made it out after the kitchen gas ignited but our cat never made it out. At the time, this song was popular and I always associated that line with the memory of our cat I had lived with for seven years. “Think I’ll miss you forever”. Very profound and the melody reflects it. Lana has a way as a Scorpio Rising Cancer with Leo Moon to really find those key emotional moments in life and magnify them for all to understand. Your reaction was genuine and I share your response to it.
