BABEEE WAKE UUUP ANOTHER LANA DEL REY'S DISCOGRAPHY REACTION SERIES IS ABOUT TO DROP 🗣🗣🗣🔊🔊📢📢🔥🔥🔥

[@artlover20.]

I'M AWAKE AND HEREEEE😂😂😂

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

You’re the best! 😂

[@GabrielBertel-su5dl]

HAHAHAHAAHHA ME

[@Elsuperico]

I live for these

[@wolfbird6613]

Aw dont worry, you could never let us down!! remember no one ever pleases everybody, but most people are really loving your videos cause youre a sensitive, insightful, thoughtful person!!

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

I needed to hear this! Thank you. I do still struggle with fear of being perceived and it’s been triggering that with me getting so many amazing views on these videos. Just 2 weeks ago I was happy getting 100 views and now thousands of people are seeing me. I’m so incredibly grateful, excited and happy…but the fear still creeps in!! So thanks for being supportive! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Ag8844]

also, i think this is just interesting to know before going into her discography, but lana has actually been sober since she was 16. she posted her 20 year chip recently!

[@gabrmoural]

What is a 20 year chip?? (Im not a native english speaker)

[@Ag8844]

@@gabrmoural it’s like a commemorative chip/coin that says 20 years, meaning 20 years sober. it’s something you earn as a celebration if you’re in an addiction recovery program

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

That is actually amazing info to know. Thank you! I knew she had struggled with addiction but I wasn’t sure on the timeline.

[@Blostblue]

Dark paradise was THE song that made me realize I was in love with her storytelling. Born to die, such a good album

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

I LOVE it!! So happy to be on this journey.

[@salvatore8792]

Also just wanna say that Dark paradise is about her ex that passed away, which is so heartbreaking

[@Blostblue]

@@salvatore8792 yup, Aaron.

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Yes, thank you. I did understand we were talking about a huge loss here but obviously didn’t know the direct details. 😢

[@dylancook8863]

Again, ALL OF THEM. 😅🫣😅

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Yes, there is not a bad track in there for me at all. But definitely have favs and tbh, they’ll probably change and grow into different favs. They will all probably have their time in the sun.

[@shanhatesyou2448]

i’m so happy you’re doing her albums her music is so cinematic i love her

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Had so much fun chatting with you today in the live chat. And I’m so happy this all happened. You guys have been so supportive and amazing and have made this journey already unforgettable! ❤️

[@LanaDelReySupremacy]

timeless album sounds like it was released today

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Totally! Man, I didn’t even think of that. It absolutely does not feel stuck in 2011/2013

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

Her storytelling on this record is just exquisite like all her further albums. I mean Off to the Races has more lyrics than some artists' entire album. It bewilders me that it took NFR for critics & industry people to realise her songwriting genius.

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Oh, I didn’t realize she didn’t quite get acclaim until NFR. That’s wild to me because this album is a freakin masterpiece imo. Too deep I guess. Critics needed years to understand I guess. lol ❤️

[@abcdeqwerty1047]

these critics and haters dont understand that for ppl whove suffered trauma hearing other ppls stories being so powerful about being candid for without a better word being weak, is important like you said how great art is honest to the human emotions and not trying to look good. It inspires strength not glorifies abuse and damn, back then hearing that constantly about her was so annoying ppl talking without experience. Making her seem like a weirdo

[@Goldun-nah]

Honestly is the best policy.

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Yep! I agree. And great art should always inspire dialogue. It’s okay for them to have those concerns. It means those discussions are being had and being normalized and that’s a good thing. I think she’s doing amazing work by telling her truth! ❤️

[@sasapejcin3568]

It's crazy how she can change her voice from baby sweet to really deep! Amazing singer!

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

I totally agree. An amazing vocalist. I’ve been super impressed so far. ❤️

[@htz90]

My absolute favorite live performances are: -Without you, at the Amoeba music and -National anthem, at the iTunes festival. They are very early live performances in her (mainstream) career and although they’re still flawed and amateur-ish there’s something about them, you can sense what she’s feeling while singing. -American, at Olympia in Paris feels Magic too

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Taking a screenshot of this comment so I can potentially do this for my visuals video! Thank you!! ❤️

[@hrctdelrey9540]

This is the best reaction and review of off to the races. YOU GOT THE WHOLE VIBE and MEANING and not many can understand the feelings she portrayed in that song

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Honestly, I wish I didn’t understand it! Haha. But thank you so much. I really do try to understand the emotions and feelings she is portraying. I don’t always get it on a first listen but it’s fun to try for sure. Welcome on in btw! ❤️

[@frankadrianramos6615]

I absolutely love your takes. Keep reacting please Queen Lana forever.

[@Matthew-ij3zm]

Really surprised and happy with your interpretation of the song "Lolita". Most people unfortunately think almost exclusively of the book (and movie adaptation) and miss the point she's actually trying to make. It's more about owning your sexuality and your sex appeal, so to speak, rather than being a victim. It's no wonder that, regardless of the song being somewhat controversial, she kept performing it on her tours for years and years, blessing us with some of her sexiest performances.

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Yeah, it’s definitely an interesting one, especially now since learning more about the Lolita content. It’s uncomfortable, but I think it’s supposed to be. More on that in my discussion video tho! 🙂

[@supreme1572]

I remember being in high school being excited by new music by this new artist no one knew except my hipster friend group on SoundCloud and then the video on KZbin for Video Games came out soo iconic. 🥰 I love Lana so much.

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

@@supreme1572 omg! This is amazing. You e been there from the beginning. I’m kicking myself. I SO would’ve been there if I just gave it a chance back then. But 🤷‍♀️, at least I get to experience it now with all of you. ❤️

[@supreme1572]

I was 14 when this came out. Lana was there for alot of my formative years. Every time I see you cry in these reactions I just want to hold you tight! I felt all these emotions too the first time.

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

@@supreme1572 that has made my night. This is why I share it. It would also be wonderful to just listen to on my own and have a personal relationship to the music, but man…it’s so satisfying to connect with souls such as yourself. 💙

[@camilahn_]

girlllll you're amazing. just wanted to say that there's live versions of million dollar man and I think you would love it!! she emphasizes her vocal work and you'd probably like it! there's also a great music video for national anthem where you'd get the concept better, so if you want to, it's an unforgettable experience. have a good time, your videos are great!

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

You are so sweet! Thanks so much for your kind words. And yes, I’m filming a music video and live performances video today actually. So excited!! ❤️

[@lucasdcam]

37?? Girl, you don’t look a day over 27…I’m shook hahah love your reactions, keep it up queen

[@00blades_123]

I was shocked too I thought she was in her early 20’s!?

[@htz90]

There’s something about us millennials 😂 we don’t look nor feel the age we’re supposed to be

[@lucasdcam]

@@htz90 and we love that for us!! Hahah

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

You are too sweet! But I have to say, you see me trying to get off the couch and you’ll know I’m in my late 30’s! Hahaha ❤️

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Definitely don’t feel 37 in my head. Body disagrees tho!! Lol

[@SwampBrat19]

What’s interesting is Lana has said all her music is autobiographical. She sometimes leaves things somewhat vague in some songs and not until albums later another line might make it click what she was referring to or referencing before. It’s one of the reasons listening in order makes the most sense and is the most rewarding. I’ve been a fan of Lana since 2011 and I’m so excited to see your journey 💖

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Oh I love that! I’m already seeing that a bit but I’m sure I’ll see that more and more as I go through them. I’m so happy this all happened and I’m doing this. ❤️

[@alexsalas2137]

We need more of LANA

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

You’ll get it! I’m committed now! ❤️

[@blackwhiteblackgrey]

@@PassionDumpofanAutist OMG !!

[@youarefire123]

this was truly SUCH a fun reaction video to watch :))) i loved your thoughts and takes on the album... I discovered Born To Die when i was 9 or 10 and i was always amazed and mesmerised by Lana's voice .. so iconic

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Oh I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I’m having such a good time discovering this music that I’ve clearly been depriving myself of for too long. ❤️

[@supreme1572]

I don't know how much you've read of Lana's backstory. When she was 16 she had a mental breakdown because she couldnt come to terms with the fact that we are all destined to die so she ran away from home to Manhattan to get high and meet older men and eventually her parents got her back and sent her to a private school. Born to Die is essentially this experience of hers in song and album form.

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

@@supreme1572 Yes! So I’m actually going through one album at a time (currently on Honeymoon). I always go into the reaction without researching (because I want to experience the music and how it resonates with me first). But then I go through the mv’s and live performances as well as research and then a wrap-up at the end. So yes, diving deep into the interviews and such to understand her as much as possible.

[@julesy3372]

I cant waiittt for ultraviolence, definitely my favorite album very emotional kinda dark but very beautiful

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Very excited about that one!! ❤️

[@giovannibufalari9229]

Just to put u in the Lore, Lana had problems with alcool when was a teenager, and her mother kind of sent her away bc of that, they didnt had much of a health relationship. So her love for her father is beautiful, but she has a lot of trauma, and her music shows. Also, she constantly sings about finding one love that doesnt leave her. She want someone who just stays.

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

That’s amazing! Thanks so much for giving me more of a back story. I definitely like to listen first and kinda see how I resonate with the music first but then I do like to hear the actual lore and truth from the artist after, so I appreciate it!

[@Ch0uka26]

I love your reaction ! Can't wait to see the futurs ones, also you'll see that each lana album have differents genres influences, for example born to die is pretty influenced by hip hop, whereas ultraviolence is very rock coded or blue banisters is really a jazz/blues album. Personally my two favorites are blue banisters and ultraviolence but it hasnt always be like that, lana's music grow a lot on you with time ! Hope this informations will help you to understand a little more her music ! (Btw sorry if i made some languages mistakes i'm french)

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

You did amazing! And man, where were you when I was listening to Carmen? I needed your translations!! Lol Thanks for that info though. That is really exciting to me as someone who is such a fan of many different genres. I think I’m going to love going through each one. ❤️

[@dylancook8863]

​@@PassionDumpofanAutist the translation for that part of Carmen is "my love, I know you love me too. You need me, you need me in your life. You can not live without me, and I'd die without you. I would kill for you." 💓😅

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

@@dylancook8863 oh…talking about alcohol. Okay, thanks Dylan for typing that. I meant to look that up. ❤️

i’d really never skip a second of you blabbering lol. you make the videos more entertaining and im always looking forward to your thoughts and comments. thank you for being you!!!!!!!

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

That means the world to me. I’m still a bit self conscious to unleash my blabbering onto the world so I really appreciate you saying that. ❤️

[@vrsonnn]

It's really interesting to see you react to this album after the NFR, cuz NFR is such an important moment in her career, it was the first time she took control of the situation with men and put herself as the main character. After NFR everything changed, we as fans got a lot of important information about her, her personal life, her family, her fears and hopes, it got deeper and deeper, until we got the Ocean Blvd album (wich I can't wait for you to react to). Be prepared for Did You Know That There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, this one is really deep and emotional

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

I can’t wait to see all of that play out in her music and see that growth and progression! I relate to a lot of what she writes about and I’ve been on my own self discovery journey the last few years and it’s so cool to have this music to help me process things. ❤️

[@MrBluemoons73]

This was a perfect reaction 👏👏👏 I see you have dropped Ultraviolence. I will check it out tomorrow 👍

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Yay! So glad you enjoyed! I have a playlist of about 15 Lana videos so far. We are at Honeymoon right now! Glad you’ve joined in. 💙

[@mjb78]

Another great Lana reaction! Love your interpretations for the lyrics. I even caught a few things I missed over the years lol. Glad you're watching the music videos, because every video from this era is amazing. The Born to Die video alone sealed the deal for me. Just my opinion, but I think fans do love this album. Her sound evolves over the years, and she has so many stellar albums to choose from, but Born to Die is a classic ✌

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Thanks! So glad you’re enjoying the journey along with me. And yes, I can’t wait to do the music videos. Part of me wants to rush down to the basement now to do it, but I wait until I’m in a Lana mood I’m calling it. Lol, I have to have emotional energy! Lol. She drains me a bit (in a good way) 😂

[@RonneWesley]

This album changed music and a whole generation forever

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

I freakin believe it. And here I was in 2012 under a rock! lol.

[@Goldun-nah]

I havnt cried listening to this album since the year it came out… but you got me a whole ass mess right now 💙😭😭 it’s good though. I’ve been pretty comfortably numb lately and it was nice to feel something, even if it was sadness. Summertime sadness was about her friend who committed suicide.. which is why I relate to that the most. It’s what made me have a deep cry. In 2009 my best friend took his life… so that song just punches me… but I’m glad to have felt it. Miss him and havnt thought of him in a little while. Honestly brings some smiles too traveling down memory lane. This album is the dark side of the human experience and it’s very relatable for those who grew up with trauma. I often feel I trauma bonded with Lana. Donno if that’s a good thing… but I fkn love her.

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Comments like these are why I’m doing this. It’s so beautiful that we can all kind of heal together with Lana. I’m so sorry for your loss and I’m glad that you’ve been able to go down memory lane. Also, this gives me more context into the song. I had the general feeling but that context makes it hit that much harder. Thanks for sharing! Sending love and light to you. ❤️❤️❤️

[@spongesa27]

Wow thanks for adding captions! Especially for this album, so demure and accessible of you I appreciated it :)

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Yes, I finally learned what I need to do so unless I have technical issues should be on all videos going forward. It’s important to me! ❤️

[@Stacey197-q9m]

Lana's songs always make me emotional haha

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Apparently me too!! Haha 😂 😭

[@mitchellroberts9984]

This is my absolute favorite album of hers. This has stayed in rotation ever since it came out. Paradise is a banger too! You’re gonna like it just as much.

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

I think you’re probably right from what everyone keeps telling me. Paradise this week!!! Whooo! 🤗

[@franfi1754]

It's amazing how this album changed music FOREVER. New subscriber here! Loved your reaction

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

I can’t freakin wait!!! Gonna do the BTD videos this week before I put out Paradise I think. 🤗

[@artlover20.]

Yesss I'm so happy you understand the other side of the lana criticism. Particularly Ultraviolence she was criticised a lot but many of those tracks are satirical about what the media thought she was. Love all of your interpretations and happy to be on this lana journey! ❤

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Totally. Any good art brings up thoughtful discussions so I think it’s okay to criticize the themes and things being brought up while still appreciating the art and understanding the beauty of portraying real human feelings, reactions and patterns.

[@00blades_123]

I loved your reaction!!

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Thanks! I’m so glad! ❤️

[@MM-eg3vi]

Personally BTD is my favorite album! The production is unmatched and her voice is so different compared to the other albums. I feel like you’re going to love Honeymoon! Also i’m interested in your reaction to Ultraviolence now 😅

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Oh finally! Yes! BTD is amazing. I was so surprised when I wasn’t getting many people with this as their fav. You’re not the first one to say they think I’ll like Honeymoon. Excited!😆

[@bruhkittycat]

yaay, excited for a new video 🥳 What Lana means by Born to Die is the relationship itself was doomed to end because of how destructive it was.

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

I realized this after listening to it again but I think I was taking things super literally in my first listen and it just didn’t click because 💡that makes so much sense!! Thanks for sharing that!! ❤️

[@bruhkittycat]

@PassionDumpofanAutist No problem 💖 Love the video and can't wait to see the entire journey! You'll love Blue Banisters & Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd because lyrically it's her best work.

[@wolfbird6613]

your perspective at the end of the video, about enjoying this album more cause it feels more familiar now compared to your first listen to lana, is really interesting to me!! it might even be related to autism, im autistic and tend to enjoy familiar experiences way more than new ones! ill love to listen to the same artist cause their music and their writing is familiar, but when im recommended something new it takes me ages to get to it, or songs or artists that I dont know literally annoy me sometimes lmao. this is a small example with music but it goes for basically everything in life (except for traveling to new places because I love exploring and experiencing new places, does that make any sense with the rest of my personality? absolutely not)

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

@@wolfbird6613 ahh, I didn’t even flag that. You could be absolutely right about that. There’s most definitely a reason why I hyperfixate on Taylor and sleep on amazing artists like Lana! Lol. Or only want to watch Buffy over and over again and get annoyed when people want to recommend something else to me. I think you’re onto something there. I think I’ll probably enjoy it more as I go on potentially because of this. Because I am starting to feel the makings of a new hyperfixation (if not special interest). Lol

[@MrScheisse10]

I've been a Lana fan ever since I listened to Videogames back in 2011 on tumblr. I'm still listening to everything she has put out there for us, even the Unreleased songs. IT IS A JOURNEY, so I'm seated for your reactions. And be ready to laugh, cry, and maybe get angry. ❤

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Yes! Ready for all of that. So happy to share this journey with you. 🤗

[@kaidendelrey]

of course I think you have to watch the blue jeans & national anthem music video and the hackney weekend performance of million dollar man but an underrated gem from this era is the live video games performance of jools holland. the snl performance of blue jeans also was the beginning of her career and despite it being "bad" it does give good insight as to her start

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Ahh!! That’s a cool interpretation too!! Makes sense. ❤️

Yeah, it's this ^. You're no good for me........but I want you (just like soda, unhealthy but you CRAVE it). LOL

[@coreydeckard5313]

Fyi when you were talking about the similarities between Carmen & Mirrorball, you are definitely not wrong, they pull inspiration from each other! Lana and Taylor have been close friends for years and share the same producer Jack Antonoff. Anyway. Thought I’d share that tidbit with ya.

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Yes, it’s really interesting to hear it. As a massive Swiftie from 2009, it’s just really neat to see this perspective. And see how artists inspire each other. So cool! 🤗

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Thanks so much! It’s kind of at the stage I’m in on my autism journey. I’m newly diagnosed at 37 years old so it’s a massive part of my identity (especially right now) and something I’m so proud to talk about.

[@llLuthor]

These are my recommendations for performances from the Born to Die era: Video Games live on Letterman, Without You live on Amoeba, Million Dollar Man iTunes festival (I think this one is really emotional, it looks like she's going to break down and cry, she recently revealed that she wasn't feeling very well at that show, now you can see why she seemed so emotional the whole show). Of all Lana's albums, for me, the one with the heaviest lyrics is her most recent Ocean Blvd, in which she was very open about some things she went through that we didn't know about, I think what makes people fall so in love with Lana is that she's not afraid to show who she really is, even with all her imperfections and wounds. I'm loving this saga of yours through Lana's work, you really try to understand what she means instead of making a superficial interpretation. ♥️

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Oh thanks! I’m filming my visuals video today so I’ll take a look and see if I can incorporate some of these. And I’m so glad you’re enjoying my reactions. I certainly want to take her work seriously and really get to the bottom of the meanings. But I find I’m able to find out more with each listen. The first reaction is purely just first instincts. ❤️

[@christiandellipaoli2991]

by the way, some lore: she fell into alcoholism at just 14 because she couldnt accept the fact that everyone would die one day, and that led her into a sort of depression. basically, she couldnt accept the fact that we are BORN TO DIE

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Oh, that helps, thank you! I had been told about her early alcoholism but I didn’t realize this was the reason. Thanks for sharing! ❤️

[@imaginist96]

A lot of her early work, especially like 90% of this album, is about the same guy. I believe she was deeply in love with this guy named Aaron, and they had a lot of time apart due to her mom sending her away to boarding school, and a few years later Aaron died in a car accident. I also think he wasn't involved in a very good crowd...it seems like they never got to pick up where they left off. I think he was her soulmate. It's so sad.

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Oh! That’s a good background. Thanks for that. Definitely helps to put things into context. ❤️

@@PassionDumpofanAutist for sure! Once I pieced it all together, I never listened to this album the same way again.

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

I haven't heard a more radical, auteur artist from this generation than Lana Del Rey. It was evident from the get-go, the first time after hearing Born to die, that she was her to cultivate an artistry & legacy & not to secure awards or smash sales records. I'm glad she ended up becoming a global superstar (despite releasing music, which is so anti pop) and influencing an entire generation of artists. She's one of a kind, an artist, even though isn't receiving her flowers right now, will be remembered by time & space & will go down the same legacy path as The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Carole King etc. Fun Fact: BTD is the longest charting debut album in the history of British & American music charts, is the second longest charting album by a woman in the US (sixth overall) & 12 years after it's release is still charting in the top 50 of Billboard 200

Yeah, I guess before listening I didn’t quite understand her artistry. I was absolutely shocked when I first heard NFR because I don’t know what was expecting, but it wasn’t that. And every new song I hear I’m even more impressed and it’s opening up a whole world that she’s created. She’s phenomenal. I’m a massive Carol King, Joni Mitchell fan (also the Beatles but the other 2 resonate more with me) so I loved seeing that comparison. ❤️

[@ishtar7785]

Lana is my favourite i’m happy to see you discovering her music she saved me in dark times and still saving me and inspiring me till this day.

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

I’m so glad I’ve found this music. It’s already been such a ride and I’m only at the beginning! ❤️

[@ishtar7785]

@@PassionDumpofanAutist i can promise you tears and healing by the time you hear lust for life and did you knows there’s a tunnel under ocean boulevard. and i hope you enjoy it to the fullest i would also recommend cigarettes after sex music if you hear any song from them while you close your eyes you will feel like floating in the air. I always dreamed about opening a cafe with romantic library while these two music plays in the background. 💕🥰

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

@@ishtar7785 I believe it! And I’m taking a screenshot so I can remember this band name. Sounds so interesting!! ❤️

[@SummerDelReyboy]

Discovered you with the Norman rockwell reaction ‘ you are so sweet ! Loved this one too, I can’t wait for you to react lana’s discography !

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Aww! Yay! Glad to be sharing this journey. It’s already been so full and I can’t even comprehend once I’ve done all these albums. ❤️

[@melodykoolhof4603]

you should definitely check out her million dollar man live performances!

[@coryb7404]

Honeymoon is my favorite Lana album of all time

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

You’re not the first person to say that! I’m excited for that one. ❤️

[@dylancook8863]

You're me, I'm you, we're that guy. LOL

[@sasapejcin3568]

Your Lana's reactions are amazing and you are cute as heck!

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Thanks so much! 😊 So glad you’re enjoying so far. ❤️

[@thevoidbender]

Now listening to dark paradise I just connect it and imagine that scene from Multiverse of Madness with Wanda dreaming of her dead kids living a happy life with her and her waking up to utter silence, totally devastated that it was a dream.

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Oh wow! I’ve never heard of that but it sounds absolutely devastating and certainly appropriate for connecting to this song. I’ll have to check what that’s about. Thanks for sharing that! ❤️

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Oh wow…I really did fall off the Marvel train eh? lol, that sounds really cool. I’ll have to actually go back and watch that. Tbh, I did quite like the first Doctor Strange movie. For the last few years I got a bit tired of Marvel in general so I’ve been under a rock with that stuff.

[@Kntsugi]

if you want the whole btd experience you should react to any million dollar man 2012 performance, the one with the red dress is my fav hehe, but i love all btd

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Yes, definitely filming the music videos and some live performances. I’ll make sure to include Million Dollar Man. ❤️

[@haendellmagalhaes6112]

omg riiiiight!!!!!???? shes just REAL. im on the point of the video where you talk about how you can see where the criticism of her "glorifying abuse" comes from BUT its not like that, shes just keeping it real and making art about her life, good or not!! you get it. get ready for ultraviolence because is gets worse. but once again, this is just her telling her (tragic) history. greatest artist alive imo

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

I mean, imo good art certainly forces you to pause and have discussion so I don’t mind that people are discussing and criticizing. I think most great art is and should be dissected. But I love how real and raw she is. It can be very healing for people who have gone through similar things.

[@yassinraouf8536]

48:33 in this part of the song, or the song in general Radio, Lana often uses cinnamon in a deep way, when she said sweet like cinnamon she doesnt necessarily mean sweet, Cinnamon smells sweet but when u have it, its bitter, so what shes implying is that her life is bittersweet now that shes famous. same thing on Cinnamon girl (cinnamon in my teeth from ur kiss) which she means its bittersweet from his kiss

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

YES!! I love her use of cinnamon. Took me a second to get this but it clicked after a few times of listening. I’m always so mad watching back these first reactions because it’s a lot to take in and I miss so much. But makes it fun to keep listening and piecing everything together. 🤗

[@yassinraouf8536]

@@PassionDumpofanAutist I KNOWWW IT LITERALLY IS, ive been a lana stan for like atleast 6 years now AND TILL NOW I KEEP ON CONNECTING STUFF, shes quite literally an amazing lyricist and writer cant wait for u to go into her discography

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

It’s been so fun so far and man, I feel like I’ll be a changed person once I get this finished…like for real. 😭

[@yassinraouf8536]

@@PassionDumpofanAutist trust you will HAHA, its gonna be a fun ride, alot of ups and downs but youll love it im sure of it, ALSO THERES LIKE AN EP/ALBUM DELUXE THATS RIGHT AFTER BORN TO DIE, its called paradise or born to die paradise edition , dont forget to listen to that, ur gonna have to skip the songs that are from BTD tho, ultraviolence afterwards!!

we need albums in order ma'am !! ill keep an eye

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Yes! That’s the plan. ❤️

[@_natanbarreto]

this is what maked us girls is about the backstory of lana, who was sent to a intern school in spain and left there by her mother. and she misses her friends from teenage years

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Yes! I love learning more of the back story after I’ve done my initial reaction! Really gives some nice context. ❤️

[@andreguilherme_]

Bro, this album is one of the best entries into the music industry in recent years 👍

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

I believe it! It’s a fascinating album. ❤️

[@FFrozenCJ]

Loved the reaction !! Looking forward for AURORA!

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Oh yay! So glad you enjoyed! Yes, that one is secretly one I’m the MOST excited about in my lineup of reactions I’m doing.

[@jessmusic1720]

Excelente reacción Algo que amo de Lana es su evolución como persona y artista album tras álbum, sigue Paradise Ep, ojalá pueda reacción a 'Young & Beautiful' con Paradise, no está en ningún album Pero es de sus canciones más iconicas. Mis canciones fav de BTD son Dark Paradise Born to Die Million dollar man.

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Yes! That’s what I’m starting to really see and I’m so excited to go through each album to see that growth. I’ve taken a screenshot to see if I can add that song as well. Thank you! And great fav choices. I think those are all in my top as well. ❤️

[@LorenaVasquesxx]

It'll be way easier to understand and like here music along the way of her discography , following all the journey of her growth, specially as a person. It's a journey everyone goes through, specially people who trigged with mental health and divergent brains (as you, and me - diagnosed with ADHD at 30 and now bipolarity at 33). So, you'll enjoy a lot all the experience and will relate a lot of things. MV that are a must after Born to Die and Paradise: Ride & Tropico. They'll explain everything

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Yes! I actually started with NFR on a whim because I didn’t even know if I’d connect with her music. But now going through BTD I already just understand so much more. And yeah, I really relate to a lot of the mental health struggles for sure. ❤️

[@peter.mlnr.]

OOOOh music videos are must watch for born to die era! Just sayin' 🤩😍

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Yes! Filming today actually!! 🤗

[@ZEVEZMUI]

Thank uou🎉

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Blostblue]

Oh I know this is a second comment ahaha but I just wanted to share, Ultraviolence is my favorite, then Ocean Blvd is pretty much close, but I don’t think she has a “best album” because each one has its own world and are so different and unique that it’s quite impossible to compare them

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Oh that’s so cool! I’ve heard similar things from others and it makes me all that more excited to really go through each one and give each of them their time and space to sit with me.

[@Blostblue]

@@PassionDumpofanAutist yess by the way, what you said about Lana being a mermaid, that’s exactly what Lana intended, so you’re really good on catching and reading between the lines. Can’t wait to see more!

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

@@Blostblue oh wow! That’s so interesting to hear. I thought maybe I was way off with that one but I always just express what is coming up for me in the moment whether it’s “right” or “wrong” and I guess it worked for me in this case. That’s really cool. Thanks for letting me know that. ❤️

[@davidportillo5149]

I love it this so much react to ultraviolence her master piece, saludos desde argentina

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Yes! We’re doing the whole catalog so that one is soon!! 🤗

[@wolfbird6613]

"oh blue jeans! hopefully this one will be a little lighter!" oh man.... xD

[@wolfbird6613]

but for real I thought you might have had trouble understanding that song cause you didnt pay attention to the second verse? I have no idea though cause it was cropped out so im just assuming from what you said!

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

I certainly did not get everything from my first listen, I can tell you that. After listening for 4 times now these songs have definitely taken on new life.

[@LorenaVasquesxx]

New subscriber here! I'm loving tou Lana reacts! Some facts: Lana herself said that all her songs are autobiographicals. She David she've Belén telling us all her story through her lyrics and she's not letting anyone tell It, especially to Tell lies about her. Carmen = drugs/alcohol. Lana had alcohol problems at an early age and her mom sent her away to a boarding School to Ger sorber. At 16 she las sent straight to Spain to live with a family any was not allowed to never come back home. You'll know more about that through here music. Dark paradise: it could be about Aaron Greene, a boyfriend who died to a car crash (also Summertime sadness). Or it could be about K, she has an unreleased song "For K part 1" where she explains he committed a crime and was sent to jail for years. They finally released him and he committed homicide, so was sent to death row. Both stories so sad.

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Oh this is so helpful for context!! Thanks so much. And welcome on in! I’m so happy you’re enjoying the videos so far and I’m so excited to share this journey. ❤️
