@@dieguinho5100 they will lol, they’re just going in order 👌

[@evilliberalsatanist]

she writes almost all her music about her life experiences (hard drug addictions, alcohol addiction, being groomed by older men, abusive relationships, struggles with money), thats why i think i love it so much its not just lyrics she paid somone else to write for her its actually real for her

[@BestFriendsReact]

Yeah she is cool and you can tell she has lived the stories she tells... You can for sure tell when an artist believes what they are saying

[@fairydoom7311]

Obsessed with your Lana journey. ✌🏻

[@shammilanka2185]

Yup🎀

[@jupitersoda2326]

Most of the songs from ‘Born to Die’ fall into the “good girl meets bad boy” category, where her boyfriend is this extremely toxic or abusive figure yet she can’t help loving, praising, and longing for him like he’s the best thing she’s ever known. I mean, that’s a concept that spans the entirety of Lana’s discography, but ‘Born to Die’ plays with it the most, painting this really dark, almost hopeless story between a young, wide-eyed girl with all this love to give, and the bad boy, dragging her down to doom. This song is a good example of that; it is the title track after all. Anyways, love the videos, subscribed and can’t wait for more ! :)

[@BestFriendsReact]

thats a situation pretty much everyone has been in to some degree, its cool that she is able to capture that and make ppl feel it again.. Sometimes (a lot of times) i dont pay too much attention to lyrics themselves, but more to the feeling the song as a whole conveys, usually its about the same meaning but makes it more tailored to you

[@erincoyne6898]

Yes. But I’d also like to add that Lana herself, in various interviews, expressed that this particular song is about the moment when she realised her (and everyone else’s) mortality. The fact that we’re all going to die (a thought which scared/scares her) juxtaposed with those fleeting moments of happiness that she felt while being in love with this particular guy at the time, and could hold on to as a kind of hope or happy distraction from that real, unavoidable fate.

[@lizka8792]

She herself has said that although she gave up lot of her personal goals at the time etc, she really enjoyed and loved that time of her life, when life was simple, she was happy, in love with her boyfriend and just happy domestic life etc and cherishes and will cherish that time of her life for a long time(abt Video Games exactly). So its not all bad-bad.

[@momsspaghetti2246]

And a lot of relationships like that end with the man killing the woman... especially when she finally tries to leave.

[@tangerine4665]

You are right, Lana said that when she realized that she can write about herself, about real life, about real shit, is when she had sort of an epiphany. This is not a quote, just something along those lines. There's a lot of metaphors, irony and sarcasm in iher music, and her videos exaggerate to get the point across...but yes, you feel her music because you know the emotion is real.

[@nandezjl0211]

The storytelling and cinematography is literally masterful! This is one of my most favorite Lana songs and video. The juxtaposition of her look and aesthetic being heavily Americana Pop with the ability for her to convey this genuine romanticism and lush baroque-style orchestral background truly reminiscent of old hollywood is so emotional and breathtaking.

[@didididi1467]

You guys need to REACT TO RIDE by Lana del Rey ❤️❤️❤️

[@Kelleigh95]

I’m glad you guys are enjoying Lana! You’re gonna love Ride and Tropico.

[@BestFriendsReact]

im looking forward to them, they seem to be very loved videos

[@BurlapRat]

To think there are people out there who haven't heard Lana and had their life changed in a way only she can. Lucky guys.

[@kimacronym2521]

Great reaction ! Lana del Rey is in my opinion one of the most underrated songwriters, and possibly the best in the last decade. Her songs are pure poetry, mostly dark and melancholic, all coming from real places. As you say - she comes across 100% authentic. Together with the music, the tone of her voice and the visuals, it is a true piece of art. Very few records we buy these days, we revisit many years later. Hers are all timeless. Pure art.

[@sunsinmyeyess]

I am all here for this journey with you guys, your understanding of her work is a breath of fresh air I wish was more common. 🤙🏾👏🏾👋🏾 Happy experiencing!

[@BestFriendsReact]

Much appreciated!

[@arlesque]

Like she knew that relationship was not gonna last and they were born to die. She is showing how it killed her and damaged her in the video. It’s so artistic. There’s a lot to unpack

[@MIYUH-FROMDABLOCC]

I'm guessing you guys are going in the order of her vevo channel, so in that case, in 3 weeks Ride stans are about to *_WIN!!!!!_*

[@florenciaantonellagomez436]

When she said "the gates", she talks about "The Doors of Perception". Yes guys, she is a hybrid, half poet and half philosopher.

[@chromaticaking]

i have a crush on black hat guy. good reaction!!

[@FeelsSadgeMan]

loving the reactions guys keep em comin

[@harleyjackson3008]

Love this journey you’re on! I’ve listened to Lana since I was 15 when this album came out

[@SuzanneDeniseB]

This is why I adore Lana. Even though she tears my heart out. ❤️

[@yair9165]

Love your lana del rey reactions ❤️

[@manfrevanderland9333]

I love how they just go speechless hahahahaha loved every reaction to lana by you guys so far!!

[@BestFriendsReact]

I kinda feel bad that we dont say much during Lana's songs, but i dont want to force anything or talk just to talk...and with her you get sucked in and next thing you know 4 minutes is gone in an instant

[@michellengoart2466]

Agh, I'm loving this! Watching reaction videos to people discovering LDR has been my favorite thing, and your reactions are so thoughtful and funny! AND can we appreciate that you both went on to react to not JUST Chemtrails Over the Country Club but also to Fuck It I Love You/The Greatest (which is SO underrated, ESPECIALLY The Greatest), and now Born to Die which makes me re-live discovering those songs all over again! I'd also say her other masterpiece is Ride, from her second album. The music video alone for it is so beautifully shot. Anyway, thanks for these LDR reaction vids! I laughed and teared up along with you guys.💓👏✨

[@BestFriendsReact]

Im thankful to have you along with us, this journey although short so far, has been a roller coaster.. you laugh, you cry, you feel, you get mad about things in your past that she didnt even bring up but somehow you are now thinking about and boom you are in that space now... im on board

[@tangerine4665]

I wish you post these more often, they really make my week better :)

[@BestFriendsReact]

While i want to just go through and spam out her discography, its nice to take it in small bits and give song the time it deserves.... i have a bad habit of just spamming out discographies when i first like an artist... the channel has made me change that and i kinda like.. lets me get to know it all a lot better, and i dont get burnt out. We do post everyday, might check out other songs, im sure we like more than just one of the same artists!

[@tangerine4665]

@@BestFriendsReact I understand, and admire your self-control :)

[@flhxalexx]

I was waiting for more Lana reactions! 🥺 Lana is a great story teller and the is very honest towards how she felt when those things were happening to her ( toxic relationships etc ). Also theres a line that the curtain behind you guys do it makes you look like u two are in different places since one side is more clear and the other is purple lol anyways just an observation

[@BestFriendsReact]

Lol we have noticed that too, we are looking into getting some different lighting and stuff to make my house feel more chill on camera... Between the curtain and rug, it does look like we are in diff rooms lol

[@marcojacinto824]

My reaction the first time I heard it. Then I replayed it some 15 times over because I didn't want it to end.

[@noura4092]

You should react to her album ultraviolence it is the best

[@hectortorres4216]

You need to react to the shades of cool music video!!!

[@jupitersoda2326]

I think they’re gonna go through her discography in order, so they’ll get to Shades of Cool eventually ! :)

[@BestFriendsReact]

Correct!! Tbh, with the channel this is the first time ive gotten to know an artist 1 song at a time... i usually find an artist then just spam out a discography over a few days because i crave to hear it all. While thats nice, its also really cool to take it slow and absorb it more and give each song the time it deserves... Its been a weird yet awesome unforeseen side effect of starting the channel

[@hectortorres4216]

@@BestFriendsReact you’re totally right! I love watching you guys, keep it going!

This is coronation of her throne as Queen Mother. Lol..

PLSS react to This is what makes us girls by Lana, there isn't a music video for it unfortunately but its one of my favourite songs by her.

[@itsgagababy]

You guys should react to the albums as albums

[@BestFriendsReact]

i would love to do that, but album reactions are a copyright strike nightmare... and we only get the chance to hangout once a week, so we try to get a variety of stuff to listen to.... But, we do plan on listening to the albums as we get the MVs done for each album, so we get to grow with her

[@yiuqwfj]

There's an ultra-ultra-ultra-ultra-huge talent on the rise now, a 15 year old girl called Angelina Jordan, you might have heard of her, she left a huge impression in AGT the champions once. If you think Lana Del Rey is gifted, Angelina sang "born to die" at home as a 12 year old and it sounds even better than Lana Del Rey kzbin.info/www/bejne/en-4XnuZgdqClas , believe it or not. I highly recommend to give Angelina Jordan a listen, it would be fun to react to that mega-talent. Example: "Something's got a hold on me" kzbin.info/www/bejne/inTGZYygp85mpsU (Angelina at 11 years old)
