First Time Listening to Lana Del Rey - Born to Die (Reaction/Review)

[@JayCluess]

Before I upload my next Lana reaction, I am thinking about reacting to Billie Eillish- Hit Me Hard And Soft. Would this be something y’all would watch?

[@jessiehong4838]

yes yes yes! that album is pure artistry.

[@PerfectxStranger1]

yeeesss!! Just found you and omg I'm so ready to watch you react to more Lana. Billie's newest album is her BEST imo.

[@JayCluess]

You all asked for more Lana Del Rey and a longer video, so make sure you all show love :) (More Lana reactions to come in the future!!!!)

[@dylancook8863]

I really appreciate the time and energy you're putting into these Lana reactions. You seem to get Lana's genius, early on. So many times she's just glazed over and not appreciated like she deserves to be. You are picking up on all the things that a lot of people miss, which is really cool. Plus you're appreciating all the tiny choices she's included in the production. She's always so involved with her production, everything always sounds SO Lana, no matter which type of song she creates. It's always different, yet always so uniquely Lana !!!! 💙💙💙

[@claualexis1737]

Bring it !!! You takes on her artistry are really interesting. Keep it up, her discography is one of the most interesting out there.

46:03 well she writes all of her songs by herself then she brings the poems to the studio and then the producer and her make some changes in it accornding to the melody ,beat and stuff . But's always her . If u don't see LANA DEL REY ,you'll probably see Elizabeth Grant which is Lana 's real name ❤

[@typicalltony]

I love how you're really listening to the music and what she's saying. 35:12 The fact that you're picking up reoccuring themes in her music means you're paying attention

[@sskjdfjje]

ultraviolence is gas bro cant wait for you to see it

[@TanyaPhilipose]

yesssir im so ready, r u ready for my long ass comment?? cultural resetttt album. born to die is all ab themes of escapism to cope with issues, finding consolation/happiness within other people, and living for freedom. this is still the most relatable album for me, along w ultraviolence. born to die is like "yolo" but also that her relationship was toxic and doomed to fail from the start of it, it was literally "born to die". off to the races is myy all time fav lana song, the voice inflections, the storytelling, beat, flow, the BRIDGE!! ty for appreciating it to the fullest. u should def do another video where u react to the music videos! they r as cinematic as the songs!! video games is a timeless love song, it blew her up along with summertime sadness and it has neverr gotten old no matter how much i listen to it. the national anthem mv is my fav from this album, asap rocky is in it ! dark paradise is v sad actually, about an ex who died and she's longing for him, wants to be with him on the other side. its good u mentioned the weeknd, bc they have been close friends for a long time and they've both agreed that their discography has lots of similarities. she loves LA and cali, she talks ab the american dream a lot which is what she envisions LA as. she uses cinnamon a lot and says "sweet like cinnamon" which is interesting bc cinnamon isn't sweet but actually quite bitter, so it's like an alternate meaning. carmen is ab Lana's own alcohol addiction from a young age, which is also very sad, she got sent to a boarding school during her childhood due to these issues, shes been sober now for over a decade though!! its french in the bridge haha. her million dollar live performances r a must seee hope u can react to those too, in her live performances she changes up the way she sings everytime, which keeps it rlly interesting. i always loved the line "this is what makes us girls, we don't stick together cuz we put love first" in this is what makes us girls, its so true and so sad. i cannot wait for paradise reaction and ultraviolence reaction!!!

[@Graceful.l3x1]

It’s crazy how many modern artists have thanked Lana for this album, she has inspired MANY new artists, even ones people wouldn’t expect!

[@phantomrenegade-f9p]

32:15 Lana Del Rey is in my opinion, one the greatest Artists ever. Each of her albums have a different genre..

[@dylancook8863]

My guy ! You're all the way correct ! So far, you've been really doing this journey justice. You're picking up on a lot of things first time listeners easily miss. Very impressive to be quite honest. And the fact that you're picking up on all the small nuances and things, I'm really enjoying this one !! Oh, and now you don't have to look up the translation; here ya go lol Lana Del Rey, “Carmen," Born to Die translation: ”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.“ 😊

[@trentt5310]

Idk how you only have this many subscribers, you’re an incredible reactor with an amazing ear and appreciation for music. Guarantee you’re gonna grow very fast 🙏🏻

[@JayCluess]

@@trentt5310 thank you so much, that means a lot :)

[@kevinxbui]

I would categorize her music as cinematic alternative music because she literally makes me feel like im in a movie

[@xtldc]

I list all of my Lana music files under a genre I like to call Dark Alternative Pop. It’s been a very useful descriptor to help categorize several artists I have in my music collection like Allie X, Ashnikko, MOTHICA, Phantogram, Poppy, Royal & the Serpent, Slayyyter, The Weeknd, etc.

[@LanaDelReySupremacy]

this album is known to be the album that changed how music sounds today and you can see it echoed still in music today also subscriber number 172 haha

@@liamscanlan4655 :)

[@l.awilkerson7493]

I’ve always felt she references cinnamon bc it’s bittersweet, it’s not conventionally sweet and has some spice/kick back to it basically a metaphor for her life. You’ll notice in other albums she sometimes resents becoming famous, therefore all of this fame and fortune is bittersweet

[@Bjr11243]

I’m so excited for Blue Banisters and Chemtrails. They really solidify a lot of fans true dedication for her

[@liamscanlan4655]

[@jessiehong4838]

I know you've already got a lot on your plate in terms of Lana reactions, but I divert you to check out her music videos, especially National Anthem, Ride, and Tropico - the short film (both from Paradise). You mentioned the cinematic elements, and her music videos are probably some of the best... ever! Love the reactions. Keep it up!

[@jessiehong4838]

also, if you want to get any background info on the songs, you can have a read of the descriptions on Genius - they're quite insightful.

[@dylancook8863]

Came back to say congratulations on reaching over a thousand subs !!! That's amazing how quickly you grew ! 😊

[@fernandobatresarias]

Bro the million dollar live performance are so amazing thats when she would play with her voice live making it deep asf to really high pitched and a lot of people liked it but back then people didnt like it and cause of them not liking it they didnt start taking her seriously and a great example in the snl performance which wasn’t even bad but cause of that many people dont take her seriously and say she cant sing live cause of her voice or cause she used to smoke or cause she vapes but she can sing she can sing her high notes and low notes like arcadia live is beautiful but you should react to million dollar man live performance and the bbc live performance of summer time sadness amazing asf.

[@antonhylewis80]

Or the one in iTunes , she slayd there . And also Lana is a hell of a clever vocalist she can do so much things with her voice in such a way u wont see no one doing . Sometimes she just got bad days and he anxiety hits hard with her stage fright so she can't sing as she can . She's just a human being ( tho She's a godess 🤭).

Btw Paradise is an extension of Born To Die. The production becomes less overproduced, but it remains cinematic. Edit: Oh you love the feeling of summer? Oh you're gonna love Honeymoon. That album is injected with summer

[@JayCluess]

@@Oni_1 paradise will be my next reaction

[@dylancook8863]

​@JayCluess after paradise, before you jump into Ultraviolence, you need to react to Tropico !! It'll really pull everything together for you. Her music videos are always the most gorgeous videos too. They really go so well with the music 🎶 🎵

[@graceconley9869]

thanks for ur reactions, cant wait for paradise and ultraviolence :)

[@fernandobatresarias]

Born to die and the paradise editions is very hip-hop inspired sound wise,Ultraviolence has a lot of guitar and drums, Honeymoon is very much jazz and a very cinematic james bond sound, lust for life we go back to the hip hop pop style from born to die, NFR is just a very experimental sound piano guitar almost everything, chemtrails over the country club lyrics wise very ultraviolence but sound its like NFR but kinda folky country ish, Blue banisters is very jazz, folk but also very personal the lyrics are personal asf it feels like shes talking/singing to you personally and ocean blvd its is full on personal to her but very relatable we go back to her fear in born to die being forgotten and her fear of death a lot of ballads lanas voice is so raw in this album and starts off sad asf but ends up happy and in a way nostalgic cause of the last track.

[@inycollas]

yassssss

[@iKate36]

Some facts, that might be interesting if you're new to her music: she writes all of her songs (except from covers obviously), on older albus she's either named "lana del rey" or "elisabeth grant" (which is her real name), she wanted to be a poet when she was younger and she still thinks about herself as a poet first, then as a singer, she even published her poetry book, she graduated with a metaphysics degree, she's (just) 39 but her biography is already so full! Like, she lived through so much, e.g. she suffered from an alcohol addiction, she was sent abroad to boarding school after her friend/boyfriend commmited s*icide - she sings about some of this both on this album (Dark Paradise) and on her newest album Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, when she became famous she was accused by media and critics that she's just the fake product of her label and that her father bought her a career and only since NFR she actually started to get the deserved universal recognition. So many artists mentioned her as their inspiration (including Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Carli XCX, Olivia Rodrigo), because she reall has changed the industry.
