First Time Listening to Lana Del Rey's 'Paradise' in 2024 - Full EP reaction

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

A lot of comments about me not being able to “handle” Ultraviolence. I believe these are all in good fun (I hope) but I do want to remind everyone that I am a 37 year old woman who has been through a lot in my life. And with that has continued to walk through life with an open heart and being in touch with my emotions. Let me remind you that having emotions and being open to sharing them does not equal being “weak”. It’s a bit infantilizing to assume a grown woman won’t be able to handle a piece of art because it may be dark, deep or controversial. Again, I really don’t believe any of these comments were made maliciously, but remember that even a joke puts out a narrative that I certainly don’t want being portrayed on my page. I’ve deleted any that made me uncomfortable, so any that are still on here I’m not talking about. Thanks! With love! ❤❤❤

[@AlejandroJoelSanfiel-il1xn]

@@PassionDumpofanAutist was a way to say that it's going to hurt a lot. Bit I'm strongly agreed with all you've said

[@Blostblue]

@@PassionDumpofanAutist ow I just read this,I’m so sorry. Just to put out some perspective of my comment, I love being vulnerable and Lana del Rey is all about finding the strength and courage to be vulnerable, so you’re totally right, you don’t seem weak or anything like that at all, I wish and I do hope everyone is just trying to put some warning about it, but it’s been really great to go through this Lana Journey with you

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

All good! I promise, I also know it comes from genuine concern! It was the way one of the comments was worded that wasn’t my favourite (again, I really don’t believe it was being mean) so just wanted to put my perspective on it early because we’re in for a LONG journey with Lana! Lol

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Thank you but definitely no need to be sorry! I took your comment as genuinely being concerned and I appreciate that! I truly do. We’ve got a long journey ahead and it’s good to know a bit of the tone ahead so I can mentally prepare. Apologies if this came off like I was mad at anyone. I just wanted to put a disclaimer of my thoughts on consuming dark pieces of art. ❤️

Hey, hey, you should do Young and Beautiful before Ultraviolence. It was destined to "The Great Gatsby" soundtrack, but it was originally intended for Paradise. It was nominated for the Grammy's Song for Visual Media (lost to Adele's Skyfall) and was not nominated for the Oscars because of a fake rumour. It's one of the best songs from old Lana.

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Not sure I can fit it in right now in the schedule I have but after all the albums if I’m still wanting more Lana I may go back and do some singles and unreleased stuff for fun! ❤️

[@wolfbird6613]

oh that would be so fun! You could ask for recs and make a list of them later

[@Ch0uka26]

You're clearly not ready for some of ultraviolence's lyrics 😂

[@dylancook8863]

She WILL be ! There's time before we're in Ultraviolence haha

[@xxShadowOfTheWolfxx]

just going to leave some love here as well. your videos are quickly becoming something to look forward to and spend a nice evenings with. thank you for being so open and vulnerable with us. the topics you spoke about really hit me deeply and i'm sorry that you feel that way about your sexuality. really hope that was healing experience like you mentioned. definitely felt like a therapy session for a moment, hah. sending the biggest hugs your way. well, you can hug your dogs for me then, hope you feel some love that way

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

I’m so glad you were there today at the premiere! You are always so warm and kind and makes it so much easier to share these emotional reactions. Yes! I keep getting distracted from more Charli stuff but I think I’m going to take a look at the Brat videos this week and do the remixes on Oct 11. Then we can see where we get to from there. ❤️❤️❤️

[@xxShadowOfTheWolfxx]

@PassionDumpofanAutist there are three extra songs on the deluxe that aren't part of the remix album that you could check out alongside the videos if you want

[@wolfbird6613]

I really, really appreciate how vulnerable you let yourself be in this video! I find it truly precious that Lana's music can do that to people! When you talked about feeling "seen" it really clicked to me, that this is what Lana's music does to a lot of us in so many ways. I have felt seen or even discovered so much of my personality through her, and her music has even helped me deal with hard times in life because it just makes you go into your own head yet be in sync with everything and everyone around you, even when the song is about difficult topics it feels so peaceful, in a way? she makes me feel like I will be okay no matter what, without having to rub that in my face with toxic positivity the way some others do, because some of us just dont relate to that. Feeling "seen" by Lana's music is really what it comes down to, what the fandom often finds itself saying to outsiders or haters is "you just don't get it", cause really, it's that, some people will never get that feeling, that realness and that vulnerability, and there's no way to explain that connection. you just have to get it. And I really appreciate your videos, because you get it!!! You just get it!

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Oh wow! What a beautiful connection you made there. Yeah, from the start I just could see how real and honest she was and unapologetic. It certainly hits harder for those of us who have felt like outsiders for sure. It’s so nice to connect with you and the rest of the community like this on all these songs. So special!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@yassinraouf8536]

Now that you have listed to this album, you have to watch the Ride music video! 👌

[@caps07]

U should react to the whole iTunes festival of Lana in born to die era. One of her best performances

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

I might have to do that when I’m done with all the albums! I have my schedule laid out already so I can’t add in anything right now but definitely open to it later! ❤️

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Okay, writing down for when I’m choosing the live performances!! Thank you!

[@toadtv4389]

Hi! I recently discovered your channel and i think your reactions are great! I was thinking if you'd be interested in reacting to anything from a singer Grimes? She's very unique, her two first albums definitely fall into more experimental side of things, but albums like "Visions" or "Art Angels" are amazing pop experiences! However, i'll still watch your reactions regardless what you chose to react to :)

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Yay!! So glad you’re enjoying my reactions. I’ve been having fun. And thanks so much for your recommendations! I have quite a long list of reactions to get through but I’ll definitely see if it’s something I’d vibe with. ❤

[@michaelk3934]

Those are both excellent albums!

[@aymanchakir6556]

yayo was also a song from her unreleased album "lana del ray aka liyyz grant" in 2008 youcan check the original or her lives back then singing it sobeautifull

[@llLuthor]

Do you also intend to see Lana's unreleased songs? Lana has the best unreleased songs, some of which she talks about her time at boarding school, satirizing situations she saw...There are a lot of interesting things to dissect.

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

You know what?!! I might do a series after I’ve gotten through all the albums of some of the unreleased stuff! I’ll probably be wanting more and that would be a good time to do it! ❤️

[@nintendogs-_-]

@@PassionDumpofanAutist i advise to at least listen to her Lizzy Grant AKA Lana del Ray album once you've finished ! its was pretty much her first album under her other name and label i believe, it capsules well her essence, its more raw... most of her unreleased before 2012 are like that.

[@greywisteria8201]

Lana does indeed still have her father~ She just got married like days ago and he walked her down the aisle

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

I found that out later! I don’t look up the lore or actual facts until after my initial reaction on purpose because I like to make my own conclusions about the art first. ❤️

[@sprklejumpropedoll]

Great reaction 🎉loving this album journey

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Yay! Thanks! So excited to be in this journey, especially with all the amazing support. ❤️❤️❤️

[@SwampBrat19]

I think it’s important for you to also know beforehand that Lana wears a native headdress in one section of the Ride video which she has since apologized for and donated the proceeds from her poetry book to the Navajo nation. The Ride video is amazing though and gives real insight into her thinking but those moments unexpectedly could be somewhat jarring to see especially with what we know now vs 2012 about cultural appropriation.

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

You have no idea how much I appreciate knowing this beforehand. I think it would’ve thrown me for a loop for sure and from the sounds of it I don’t think it’s meant to be something “shocking” so that may have tainted the experience for me instead of focusing on what she is trying to do in the piece. Thank you, Thank you! 🙏 ❤️❤️❤️

[@lorenavasques8657]

Lana used to volunteer in the Navajo village since she was very young. That headdress was a gift they gave her and she was so proud of it she decided to wear it in the vid. She apologized to the society for misunderstanding her intentions, but not an apology to the Navajo at all, cause she've been doing a lot for them through the years! 😊

[@SwampBrat19]

@@lorenavasques8657 I didn’t know that part. Thank you for letting me know. Lana has always had such a giving spirit even recently during her last tour she donated the money from ticket sales back to the cities she performed in.

Oh, that’s made my day! You are so sweet! I’m definitely getting mentally prepared for Ultraviolence and excited to share that in a few weeks! I still have a few Born to Die videos left to wrap that up!

[@guitarherops31]

I hope you’re able to find Blue Velvet’s video because it was actually a commercial for her H&M campaign but I believe it was taken off KZbin. She looks so beautiful there, though.

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Oh man! May have to try to do this when I go into unreleased and deep cut stuff after the albums! Sounds so cool! 💙

[@luisfernandofelixrodriguez2335]

For me this is where Lana's dark stage begins but when the albums come out as time goes by, you can see how Lana changes and her music changes too and it is definitely watching Lana grow. (I'm sorry if it's written wrong, I had to use a translator)

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

I understood perfectly! And I’m so excited to see the changes and growth in her and her music! ❤️❤️❤️

[@OnimNjuki]

@Dylan Cook u became amod

[@Goldun-nah]

Why would anyone want you to experience Lana for the first time with all the foreknowledge none of us had when we listened to Lana for our first time? Your own interpretation is more important than the lore in the first go round. Maybe a suggestion is to listen to the song fully to feel the song as if you were to naturally listen to her music, and then break it down to intellectualize it after. Just because no one listens to music that way for their first time. Only bc imo it causes breaks in a continuous stream of emotions that leads into further lyrics that will clarify much of lyrics your contemplating/questioning a bit later in the song. But however you go about it I’m down for the ride! I thoroughly enjoy your sincere and thoughtful and emotional reactions regardless. Just my lil meaningless 2 cents lol also… 17:17 emotional damage lol and yes… yes you can cry through this entire thing. I know I have before. Become a river if you feel the need. We will be crying right there with ya! 💙

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Aww, thank you so much for the encouragement! I always feel bad that I get so emotional so many times. And yes, I totally agree with you about listening to the song the whole way through and that definitely is how I would do it at home. The only issue for me is I know my AuDHD brain and because it works so fast and has thousands of thoughts going on in a minute, it’s easier for me when I’m trying to talk about things that come up if I do it right at the moment. If I waited, the thought would be gone because I would be overwhelmed. So it’s certainly not a perfect formula, but I try my best to get out what I can. The real magic unfortunately happens off camera in my 2nd and 3rd reactions!! But sometimes I do let it play. I really just try to go with my gut on these things. This particular one had a ton of stops that was making me cringe when I was editing. lol, but we do what we have to do! ❤️

[@Goldun-nah]

@@PassionDumpofanAutist Never feel like showing your raw emotions as a bad thing. I love it! The vast majority of us are this way too and I think it’s a major part of what attracts us to Lana! And it’s a big reason why you’re my fav person to watch your reactions to. Aurora is another artist I am ABSOLUTELY sure you would fall in love with. Her music is deep, unique, and full of all the human emotions. Hope you’ll react to her too one day. Much love! ❤️❤️❤️

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

@@Goldun-nahI have “What Happened to the Heart” filmed and in the editing process as we speak. Already love her with this first listen. ❤

[@aymanchakir6556]

look up her unrleased too it explains a lot songs since she was young under the name may jailer l,lizzy grant , sparkle jumprope queen , the rich whörs , you can also chech her album "lana del ray aka lizzy grant" and " sirens " under the name may jailer , i suggest pawnshop blues , queen of the gas station and bording school to explane more of her backgrund and how she romanticized life as it was even the most simple things as a method of escapism

[@PassionDumpofanAutist]

Yes! I think once I’m done all the main albums I’ll go back and do some of the unreleased and older stuff! I know I’ll be itching for more Lana!! ❤️

[@MarcHatePage]

[@BOO_JAINA]

Fun fact, back in 2019 Lana wrote a controversial post called "question for the culture" its about how she gets hate for creating music with immoral/taboo content while other artist get a past, she mentions a few name such as ariana, doja, cardi, nicki, beyonce and more. Thats one of the moment where she got cancelled and one of the hardest days for Lana stans... People also called the post as "prophecy" bacause the artist she named get cancelled one by one (in chronological order too as far as i know), the last on the list is Beyonce and just last week the prophecy catch up to Beyonce as bey was mentioned to be associated with P. Diddy parties and she's currently being cancelled, completing and ending the so called "prophecy". Lana also got married the same week the prophecy ended which is insane 😭.

[@youarefire123]

i love your reactions so much!!! you touch on so many subjects and your insights are so well worded 🥰 keep it up and your channel will definitely grow a lot) love your dedication

[@TanyaPhilipose]

Incoming my long ass comment: can't wait for the ride music video reaction. It's genuinely my favourite music video ive ever watched in my whole life. Ride is classic Lana, the epitome of everything she is. When u see the mv, the themes revolve around her longing for freedom, her reliance on others for happiness, and her use of escapism to get away from her issues, soo relatable. no Lana's dad is alive still and she's always been close with him, her mother on the other hand has NOT been a good mother to Lana. I think u def connect to Lana the way I do too, i also feel the same ab my childhood being taken away from me, i appreciate u getting into that topic :(. She sees American as being free, the american dream and the possibilities and opportunities. i rlly like how she spins the patriotism americans have as an admirable thing, when we usually see it being a bit toxic a lot of the time. btw she wrote cola and was referencing guys LIKE harvey weinstein (rich powerful influential) but stopped performing cola live after his allegations came out. gods and monsters is yes about LA/hollywood, and the toxicity and darkness that is apart of that whole industry. yayo is extremely underrated imo, it's so euphoric and i think it was meant to be, to show how addicting love and drugs are, comparing them both and symbolizing how good they both feel to her. burning desire was just for a car commercial but it's so hot i love it and her breathing in the background. She's talked ab how paradise relates to heaven in her mind, but i think u hit the nail on the head with the whole theme of escapism, these things she uses to escape feel like heaven to her, drugs, freedom, love. This album is the most relatable to me, along w ultraviolence.

[@whenthepawn1999]

you have to see her perform yayo around the time she wrote it live at the living room in nyc 12/16/2008. idk if the quality of the video is high enough to include in your mv/performances video but even on your own time it really portrays that lounge singer feel you mention in these videos ❤️

[@Blostblue]

Im a little worried for Ultraviolence, just keep in mind that it’s a really dark place to be in. For example, even tho I have been listening UV for years since it first came out, if I’m not careful enough, it can take me to a really dark place. Not that I dont enjoy it because I love love that album, but damn it’s heavy.

Hey. New sub here. I like the way you dissect some of her songs. Enjoy the journey through the albums! Her music is absolutely spectacular and unique and she is a true artist, not just a singer. Her collaboration with Jon Batiste I think is super underrated and I just found it by happenstance a few days ago. It is called Life Lesson.

I'm loving following you as you get to know Lana's discography. And the coolest thing is that you ask questions that Lana herself answers in her next albums. Lana is an artist who is not afraid to talk about her feelings in her songs, she is very visceral. And at the end of it all, you can understand who Lana was and who Lana became. leaving black and going to blue ❤️
