Lana Del Rey is NOT a conservative, but she’s also not a far-leftist. If you listen to her albums, she has zero interest in political correctness or feminism. She is more interested in telling stories that reveal both the beauty and the broken nature of humans in general. I LOVE her music. This song brings me to tears.

[@princesssupernova5300]

lana always said she's a centrist

[@hellomimibanana]

What a perfect description of her music. Every song I’ve listened to of hers, it has moved me in one way or another. I judged her way back in the day with video games, thought it was boring, refused to listen to any more of her music until two years ago. Obviously me being older now, I resonate so much more with her lyrics. I was very happy to hear she wasn’t a far leftist.

[@AnaCarolina-vl4cr]

I think this is about a woman's longing for the presence of a man, a true love. Her friends are great, there is nothing they couldn't do, except take away that empty space in her heart that wants love. That wants a good man. The diamond. The thing that takes away the pain... this song really captures a modern woman dilemma, the fact that they can have it all, but still have that part that wants to be a well loved woman in the arms of a strong man. Nice!

[@MorningClarity]

That's what I heard as well. 💞

[@Saddles_N_Sauvignon]

[@Kieran_OPC]

It's in a lot of her music about men. She doesn't ever aim at men badly she brings up our separate issues at times. iirc was it not born to die which was about how we can be both our worst enemies yet love each other? Been a whole since I listened to her music but I'm always blown away by her acoustics and vocals.. she's just incredible and one of the greatest artists to ever live imo.

[@austinrichards5643]

Not exactly. The song is about how the man promised to give her a family and what she wanted, and she’s painted blue by him, as bruises. And her sisters and friends are there for her and her banisters change from blue to green to grey, like bruises when they heal. It’s mostly about how her sisters are there and support her, and are what she cares about.

The editing of the music in the background here is well done, the cuts between Michael and continuing the music are 👌

[@vanessa-8375]

Oklahoma is a reference to her ex that lived there - police officer - they did 'normal things' and he sent her flowers. He promised her children - she is in her late 30's. They were together for 6 months and she was still depressed about the breakup. Jenny is Jenny Lewis - a respected songwriter. Nikki Lane is a country singer that collaborated with her on another breakup song "breaking up slowly". All her female friends tell her that her pain is like "heat lightning" - lightning flashes seen from a thunderstorm that is far away. Too far to do any damage or have any effect (rain). She seemingly still have feelings for him, but is starting to move on. Focusing on new beginnings (green) and her sadness (black) has been tempered by wisdom (white) (grey). Strange song

[@johnbarrett4846]

Been a fan of Lana's since 2012. She's primarily a poet/writer. That's why sometimes on stage she is shy because she's uncomfortable and not used to the limelight. I love her even more for that.She's a true artist, it's not about showing flesh for likes, she bares her soul through her lyrics. Yes she may be beautiful but what a voice. She had her issues when she was young and many of her songs deal with those.

Love your analysis on poetry. It reminds me of what G.K. Chesterton once said “Imagination does not breed insanity. Exactly what does breed insanity is reason. Poets do not go mad; but chess-players do. Poetry is sane because it floats easily in an infinite sea; reason seeks to cross the infinite sea, and to make it finite. The poet only desires exaltation and expansion, a world to stretch himself in. The poet only asks to get his head into the heavens…It is the logician who seeks to get the heavens into his head. And it is his head that splits.”

Lana Del Rey has a lot of range in her voice and she can hit deeper, more sultry tones too. I'd love it if she released an album of past classic songs like Peggy Lee's 'Fever', 'Why Don't You Do Right?', etc. as well as Lena Horne's 'Stormy Weather', etc. She could bring back a lot of those iconic 30's, 40's, and 50's torch songs with a new twist.

[@wallflower987]

It's so endearing to see Michael's misty eyes while lising to Lana. She knows how to convey that feeling of lost girlhood. I feel the nostalgia from my past. The gripping fear of the future on my heart and the longing for my girlfriends from my childhood. That time was so unique and wonderful! But now an entire generation of girls have to reckon with growing into a woman. In this fucked world that doesn't even know what a woman is means those those little girls we were in the past have to endure growth by trial and error. And most of us fall into error.

she was in love with a police officer from OK and they went their separate ways. According to the web search results, Lana Del Rey and Sean Larkin met on a dating app in 2021. They split their time between Los Angeles, where Del Rey lives, and Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he calls home. Del Rey even met his children, who Larkin admitted were "kind of blown away" by the relationship. They broke up in March 2020 due to their busy schedules. I have found myself in a similar situation with a man from Oklahoma, we also met on a dating app and he has kids from a previous relationship. I moved from LA to OKC to be with him but I need to return to LA soon. This song is so comforting due to the pure coincidence of the similarities. I grew up listening to Lana since high school so it's just heartwarming to be able to relate to this song so much still even now in my late twenties. Music connects us in the most beautiful ways.

The problem with much of modern music is that it either glorifies a hedonistic lifestyle without mentioning the hole in a person's soul that sort of life creates (modern pop music) or it fails to examine why hedonism is so captivating in the first place (modern christian music). Lana (who is very likely not conservative by the way) is fantastic at capturing both the allure of the hedonism (giving the devil his due) and then brilliantly shining a light on the dark emptiness one feels after living a hedonistic life. She does this nearly perfectly in her most recent album which Knowles should definitely react to. She (and all good art) does the same thing good liturgy does, it understands all aspect of the human psyche, not just the good or bad. This is why Catholics start every Mass with the penitential rite (Lord have mercy). We acknowledge we're all hedonists in some capacity but we want more and we're striving to fill the hole with the good.

[@danyellesibert6724]

I’m not a pop culture fan either as I’ve gotten older, but her music always touches me literally every song I hear

[@mangounchained]

I love Lana and her music. Her voice is beautiful and she is one of the best female writers of her generation, if not the best.

[@INTERNETSOPHI]

PLEASE DO MORE LANA REACTIONS I am begging Michael this was so great. She has MANY thought provoking songs that i feel are better than 99% of pop music out there. Lana is saving the culture without being cringe.

[@vovagogafpfif7788]

Please do more that kind of reaction. I could watch it over and over again❤😂

[@dylancook8863]

Pleasantly surprised by this one ! Lana's been my one and only artist that i have appreciated and been obsessed with ever since first hearing her back in 2012 .. Gods and Monsters was the first of many that i just couldn't stop listening to even if i tried. I had it on repeat for weeks. Walking around the streets of Long Beach Calif. blasting it all day lol lol she's brilliant and so genius with her work. It's phenomenal every single second of it.

[@nicolascostello7276]

she's a wonderful lyricist, and deep in the lyrical tradition. i can't remember which song or album it is, but the interlude where Lana is reciting the words from one of T.S. Eliot Four Quartets - "time present and time past....." - she's a wonderful lyricist

[@Rie44One]

Burnt Norton interlude from Honeymoon album.

[@bhoogvliet]

Love lana del rey music. Very good artist.

[@monio.9444]

Do more Lana songs please. Make a series. Her lyrics paint such an interesting picture.

[@graceo6039]

Please, producers, keep this up! I love hearing other's thoughts on Lana Del Rey!!!

[@bytchesagainstbullshyt3696]

Ive never heard of her and looking through the comments im a bit embarrssed and wondering where I have been 😂 She has a pretty voice and message

[@feliciab5019]

Lana is not conservative but she’s also not a leftist. She’s just a great music artist with a uniquely lovely voice. ❤ I’ve always loved her music and still do. 😊 On an added note, I do wish a lot of us would stop throwing the “conservative” label to anyone who just happens to not be interested in towing the leftist line. This is why we are having issues with the current red pill(which is not conservative whatsoever) as well as a few other micro factions. That said, I hope everyone is having a Blessed day. 💙🙏🏻

[@hycynth82828]

Exactly what I needed to see

[@bigguy16]

I couldn't imagine ever listening to her music, but i have to admit she's gorgeous.

[@sserangel]

Lana is NOT a conservative. If you will react to her, please do so out of curiosity or for another motive, not because you assume she shares the same views as you. 💝

[@ethanwork764]

Lana and Michael, two of my favorite people ever!!!

[@tosin8885]

Michael reacting to Lana wasn't something I thought I'd see 😭😭💗

[@josemanueldetemmer4495]

It's the kind of song I want to hear on the radio when I come back home from work and I just want to be with my family and find some understanding

[@angelofdeath095]

Are we finally getting a song that doesn't feel like it has any hint of "isms" or "phobia"s ?? This is great. Finally a song that has a nice tune without getting political.

[@Anita..]

I love Lana ❤

[@jo5678]

Loved this album ❤️

[@Domschwalb]

Excuse me Mr.Knowles I need more of this content.

[@thebarbecutioner6977]

Very minimalist style. Nice! Lyrics, not tune focused. Haunting voice.

[@poundcake681]

Honestly not expecting this but I welcome it fully

[@aftonp.4547]

this is the video mix-up i didn’t know i wanted to watch !! 😂

[@liamscanlan4655]

PLEASE DO MORE OF THIS!!!!!!
