The Kennedy's?? Or?? | Lana Del Rey - Reaction - National Anthem

[@dashapestova6684]

This video portrays JFK assassination, you’re right. And at the beginning she is performing the song by Marilyn Monroe “Happy Birthday Mr.President”. Love your reaction🧡

[@Clara-kf5jd]

The word you're looking for is motorcade lol. I think you were on the right track about the song being the tale of someone who gets involved with a powerful man and is intoxicated by what being with him brings, and Lana uses the Kennedys as a narrative device to tell that story. They were the closest thing to a beloved royal family the US has ever had, and JFK is the model of an all-powerful, handsome, magnetic, toxic man (given his infamous infidelity). This fits very well in the overall story Born to Die (the album) tells, of a doomed romance between Lana and a man who is awful to her, but who she can't help but desperately love, to the point she ignores all the bad he does to her and feels like she's died once they're no longer together. After you're done with the videos from BTD, it would be really nice if you reacted to the whole album, so you can see how the songs you've listened serve to tell this overarching story. I do believe Lana is one of, if not the best (and most influential) lyricist in modern pop music, and this album reflects that.

[@SuffiReax]

Yes! Motorcade! Lol thank you

[@usamakhan3553]

I love how in the first verse it says "I don't know how yet" to "I'm already coolest" in the second.

[@SuffiReax]

Ohh yes yes. She has learned and adapted to the new way of life and instead of being unsure how to act, she is now the coolest. Love it

[@pantyhoes-r9e]

She often gets accusations of romanticizing the controversial old America when I don't think that's the case. What she does is she creates a fictional America where there is justice for everyone. But the end is sort of bittersweet. Regardless of how comfortable we think we are, and no matter how much partying and happiness there is there will always be hurt. Also every music video for Born to Die incorporates death in some way. Whether it be her own death, or her partner's death. We see her friend deal with her death in Summertime Sadness.

[@TrustyPromise]

It's not a friend in summertime sadness, she said its a lesbian couple and its her girlfriend

I heard somewhere that the dialog at the end is from letters that Jackie wrote after JFK was killed 💔 Lana is a true artist, no doubts about that.

DARK PARADISE is another amazing song from this album

[@goldusttwoman]

My God, the obsession i used to have with that song was not healthy AT ALL

[@mlancholia3920]

dark paradise is such a beautifully depressing song. the chokehold it had on my previous depressed self was insane 😭

[@sebablast]

“Money is the anthem of success” and “Tell me I’m your national anthem” feels like she wants him to feel successful because she has her

[@hrctdelrey9540]

Love your Lana and Taylor reactions the most. They both are top tier musicians. They have written ALL of their songs. So you know it's personal. there are emotions. You can connect well. Always waiting for next reaction ❤ There are SOOOO many masterpiece lana songs. I can't wait for you to check them out.

It's her absolute best work in my opinion, especially the deluxe edition. I don't hate any of her other work, but imo people that swear NFR is her best album are crazy lol.

I love Carmen ❤

[@leovillaverde7547]

She's fascinated by him and the life he has. She wants to hold him like a python and never leave him. It's like the guy is rich, the sex is great and he also loves her.

The best way to describe Lana Del Rey’s music is simply “Cinematic”

[@claualexis1737]

You want Lana describing her life? No worries, RIDE IS COMING 🔥🔥🔥

[@0485dlp]

Motorcade! I think that's the word you were looking for, the presidential car ride thing. I couldn't think of it either while watching along but it finally came to me

[@SuffiReax]

Lol yes! That is the one. Thank you

[@questionxtheculture]

Born to Die era was ICONIC

[@vencebarnes4663]

Please listen to Video Games next... That song is so melancholic as fuck.

[@rikimaru1007]

The jools holland version is brilliant.

[@loslibrosdecarangi]

Dude I'm loving this series of videos. It's been a while since I've found a reactor that was really analizing and taking a deep dive into Lana the way that you are doing. This is great, keep uo the good work! :)

[@Ultraviolence14]

We need full album reaction -

[@kerimiko1541]

Lana in this video is both Jacqueline and Marilyn

[@marissaleimone9270]

I loved hearing your initial perspective on this! I always knew this song was like a retelling of the Kennedy assassination but it could also definitely relate to someone dating someone of very high status, awesome job!

[@bryancarson5908]

Love National Anthem but lord knows so I’m ready for ride 😂😂

[@leovillaverde7547]

The spoken word in the last part of the video is a letter Jackie wrote after JFK's assassination. Lana portrayed both Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy.

[@keshaalbusaidy2929]

That's been proven false

[@tangerine4665]

It’s not.

[@miriemabbekka5803]

No, it's not true. She wrote it herself.

[@tinesess3521]

I always looked at this as her playing both roles, both wife and other woman....(Jackie and Marilyn) Also when u got stuck on the python lyric I was 😏😆

Please react to RIDE by Lana, btw it is incredible how you can get everything she meant in the song the first time you listen to it! Best reaction ever.

[@christid5838]

Wearing the famous powder blue dress(-s) of Jacquie Kennedy during the motorcade part. I don’t know, because when she stood/crawled over his dead body I think she was wearing pink. But it obviously portrays his flings too… She’s really brilliant.

[@aianio4932]

This music video is top tier 👌🏻

[@smithereens7105]

She's both Marilyn and Jackie in this. It starts with Marilyn serenading him while he's on top of the world and ends with a letter Jackie wrote about him. She truly loved him.

[@SarahRichardsGraba]

Just discovered your videos from your reaction to Blue Jeans. I hope you just start listening to each album in order... I honestly think it's the best way to experience her work. Her music videos are also amazing, but I feel like getting the "story" from the albums and then getting the various visuals from the music videos (which often add layers) help a lot, instead of trying to catch all of it at once. Plus, I can just tell that you will love her albums, so I hope you get to enjoy them in full!

[@xBlackShadowx9]

I CANT WAIT FOR TROPICO !!!!!!!!! PLEASE DONT SKIP THAT

[@aldwindiaz]

you should definitely react to ‘Young and Beautiful’! it’s amazing!

[@isaacvaldez8330]

RIDE is coming....

[@bhamgatsby]

I think she is portraying the role of Marylyn Monroe as the other woman that married the president instead and so the song talks about going higher and standard and status and it’s a fantasy world where what if she would’ve been the first lady instead….

[@Manurth]

full album reaction would be nice >3

[@silentfreak8933]

OMG I've been waiting for your Lana Reaction lmao and Coldplay too

[@LanaDelReySupremacy]

the “president “ is asap rocky lmao

[@joseusa9027]

The song is about the love story between John and Jackie Kennedy, she starts at the beginning replicating the time Marilyn Monroe Sang Happy Birthday mr president to JFK, then through the whole song she describes what their love story would be like at the top echelon of the elite, ends with his assassination.

[@bussygaloredotcom]

watch the tropico short film please

[@jamesgoodman4457]

I second this fully!

[@heyswan9864]

I think she’s telling her own story while mixing Jackie’s story in it as well

[@allynemeireles4707]

The point is: The guy Lana fall in love was so carismatic and powerfull that in the lyrics she compares him to the President. She went to his life as a normal person ("he says to be cool but I dont know how yet"), not very cool and then became the First lady, "the coolest", as she said. They lived those excesses together: partys, money, drugs... but they felt confort in each other. The chorus says that she wanted to be like the National Anthem for him, the major symbol of national devotion - or the person he loves the most.

[@homeiswhereukeepurdealdoe]

oh boy i wish u went back to the beginning and reacted to it all again after u got what the video was about ♥

[@ALMyoutube]

OMG sb's reaction to this video on 2022, love it! And yes, it is about JFK and Jackie and Lana looks like Jackie + Priscilla Presley in this MV

Hoo lana I’m dying for u ❤️‍🔥

[@lookup1675]

Lana is describing three women: Manroe, Priscilla Presley and JFK's wife, i think the only common thing between the three women is that they got betrayed by the blurred lines between the real and the fake, like their lives were something and in another moment it get turned to another life, the three women loved their men so much, as Lana is telling the story of one Mistress and two good wives and maybe she wanted the JFK character to be black to describe the ultimate American dream and the equality..
