The Untold Story of Lana Del Rey (Documentary)

Growing up in the 2010s and the era of tumblr, infinity scarves and flower crowns, it's hard to not remember the influence Lana del rey had on the world and the internet when she first popped onto the scene with her viral self edited song "video games''. With her following album, Born to Die becoming an immediate international success. Lana del Rey's melancholic, vintage, dreamy aesthetic was and is very engaging & immersive and helped to garner her cult status relatively quickly. To many, del rey has come to mean so much more than just a celebrity or artist, but someone who has an irresistible air of mystique within her persona and her music .Her music has been noted by critics for its stylized cinematic quality; its preoccupation with themes of tragic romance, glamour, and melancholia; and its references to pop culture, particularly 1950s and 1960s Americana. All these factors help Lana to truly make a name for herself in the music world and American pop culture.
-Today I wanted to talk a bit about Lanas background and success before also explaining why I feel like she resonates the way she does with her fans, including myself.
Lana del Rey was born Elizabeth Woolridge Grant on June 21st 1985 in Lake Placid New York to parents Rob and Patricia Grant. Lana had a pretty quiet early life because of her towns seclusion and very small population. Around the ages of 14-15 she began to develop an alcohol dependency and she was sent to Kent boarding school to help become sober.
Lana has said quote "That's really why I got sent to boarding school -to get sober."
Lana has said she had a early preoccupation with mortality and the idea of death saying in a 2012 uk telegraph interview: quote
"When I was very young I was sort of floored by the fact that my mother and my father and everyone I knew was going to die one day, and myself too. I had a sort of a philosophical crisis. I couldn't believe that we were mortal. For some reason that knowledge sort of overshadowed my experience. I was unhappy for some time. I got into a lot of trouble. I used to drink a lot. That was a hard time in my life"
- anyone who is hip to lanas unreleased canon can see the evidence of her rebellious and shock value tendencies like in the lyrics of the unreleased song Boarding school
When Lana left boarding school she eventually moved to Long island to live with her aunt and uncle while becoming a waitress. Lana eventually enrolled at Fordham University in the Bronx, where she majored in philosophy with a big interest in metaphysics. Shes quoted as saying in a Rolling stone interview , "I chose to study the subject because it "bridged the gap between God and science... I was interested in God and how technology could bring us closer to finding out where we came from and why."
Meanwhile, she lived with boyfriends, and crashed on couches. "I was writing, writing, for years," she says. "Trying to figure out what I really wanted to say and why I was consumed with this passion for writing, where it came from. It kept me up all night. So I was waiting to see why. That was a really whole separate world."

Wow… i just gotta say, i’ve been a die-hard fan of all things Lana Del Rey since she first came into my life during *the* tumblr days, and i am absolutely blown away with what you created by blending your experiences with factual and informative storytelling to deliver such a powerful love letter to Lana and her work. Paired with the quality of production, this video allowed me to fall in love with her all over again under a whole new light, and that to me is so special!🤍 i’ve watched this a few times now and unsurprisingly got increasingly more emotional and felt more chills with each watch. this is truly truly truly such a remarkable and beautiful documentary that in my book, fits perfectly into the LDR universe & and i believe it will age just as well. love love love the way this made me feel and everything it added to my fantasy ✨ Thank you so much!💐 💕🦋 i’m beyond captivated and moved by how refreshing i find not only this video, but both your channel and your point of view!😊 ✨🤍 very happy to have found you 🌹

on the subject of lana appealing to lgbtq people - as a femme lesbian, lana and her music really helped me realize and understand that being feminine and “delicate” and being a sort of hopeless romantic is okay. and that it’s not something you should feel ashamed of or try to hide. ❤

[@anamaria-db7pq]

exactly! That's what I also feel! She changed my life back in 2011 when I found someone making such beautiful art out of feelings that I always was ashamed of...

[@imky2441]

this!! Through the discovery of being a lesbian, trying to appeal more masculine to be validated as a lesbian is such a huge deal to so many people including myself. I, too, wanted to explore my feminine presenting side and feel delicate as well as strong and live those little movie moments that Lana sings about and we always see on screen but don’t feel like we can truly perform because of societal treatment and/or self-judgment/fear of “gayeing wrong.” It feels freeing to explore that side of myself while still being as much of a lesbian as ever!

[@user-dd2lp7xg7j]

Wow, how beautiful is that?! I think you give voice to something so honest and real! Yet it's a voice none of us has ever heard before. Thank you for saying something. It would seem that masculinity where ever it emerges; is expressed as a dominant dark scar you can't scrub off; silencing all signs of light instead of being the agro earth regeneration it was entirely meant to be. In service to the life bringer and her spring of our becoming!

I still remember the feeling of being 16 and feeling like i discovered a whole new world of music with lana's songs. Everything about her seemed so dreamy. It's been 10 years and my love for her and her music only keeps growing ❤

[@TMeyer-ge5pj]

Omg I know. I have such good memories of listening to her in my first car and in college dorms. She was so unique at the time. So many people have a similar type of sound now, but I really think she changed pop music.

knowing that she was mostly performing for friends in those club shows makes a lot of sense when she talks about having stage fright, cause she wasn’t performing for a lot of people before going on SNL…if you look at her performances from before that time she was singing very strangely, kind of bluesy, kind of off the cuff changing the melodies and doing weird pronunciations….she wasn’t used to singing her songs for lots of people or singing in a ‘normal’ way

[@stxrrymxxn]

@@egirlTyrande it’s more about her pronunciation…like there’s a video of her high of c0ke singing and it has a similar vibe…she was just is doing her own thing but it makes her sound a little stupid i think 😂 it’s like when artists sing their songs live but change the melody it’s like why coz that should be an advertisement for them to go listen to your music and if you’re making the music seem weirder than it is then people are less likely to go check it out 🤷‍♀️ i’m just looking at it from the marketing perspective which is why she was there to begin with, although i’m not in love with that performance or anything i can see what she was doing

[@diochu2163]

Her music helps me romanticise literally every aspect of my life and makes me focus on and enjoy little things. She makes me feel in love and excited to live my life.

[@cutiexclub]

Being a teenager discovering Lana really changed my life. Her early songs romanticised being sad and getting validation from guys, doing f-ed up things and feeling really cool about it, which to be fair was what I was also doing and I really related to it. I eventually grew up and matured, so did she. Her recent music is more about looking inwards, discovering and loving herself. Her new music also explores taboos and polarising topics. Not to mention she explores a lot of genres of music, and is not afraid to try new things and you just can’t get bored of her. It’s like we grew together and learned so much about life. I really enjoy her music, her artistry, her lyrics, her growth. Simply put, her music is really poetry, voiced by one of the best voice of this century. Just my two cents as someone who isn’t from the Americas, I haven’t experienced the culture so I can’t comment on that aspect. You put this together very eloquently, in a very captivating and enjoyable way. Thank you.

[@Kallenxo]

I found her at 15. Felt like everything I was looking for was found. I needed her and I found her. She made me feel free. Even til this day when I listen to her music I feel free. I love her for what she has created for us.

[@karlatoriz391]

The moment I began to absolutely love Lana was when I first heard "Pretty when you cry" bc I am someone who cries A LOT, but this song romanticised it while it also felt like the thoughts one has when crying; sadness and frustration. Lana has helped me feel like those little aspects of my personality alongside delicate feminine traits are okay and can be very beautiful. I love Lana sm I swear, no song fails to deliver.

[@loltrol3920]

Beautiful documentary. As someone who moved countries several times throughout their childhood/ teenage years , the feeling of being stuck in a time or place that you can’t go back to extremely relatable to me. It caused me despair, and Lana made me feel so.. understood. Lana is truly a extraordinary artist.

[@cookeechoc8824]

Me too !! Thanks, I feel less alone now ❤️

[@hannahl5663]

This video was so good. I feel like her willingness to be so emotionally vulnerable in her songs and not always have to pretend to be stronger or a better person that makes her music incredibly relatable. Like some people claim she romanticizes abusive relationships, drugs and alcohol, and depression, but those are realities a lot of people have had to cope with and it feels good to be validated.

[@julianarose9324]

Very well explained, I learned things I never knew about her. I got goosebumps when you played her songs in order by the years, awesome video!!! I’m gonna listen to all her songs now on repeat lol. She is definitely my favorite artist. So unique.

Ive known of lana for ages but just recently got into her after a very depressive phase where i listened to a lot of mitski. Once i got better i didnt find mitskis lyrics to put me in a good place thats when i jumped to lana. Lana gives this feeling of romanticization of melancholy without actually being sad at all. Its incredible

[@falynneblackwell1008]

Alot of people I think under estimate Lana(Lizzy) because of her looks, aesthetic and stage presence. She's portrayed by critics as this "bimbo" type but beneath the surface she's a thinker. Just watching this video and reading articles about her you can tell her mind is a powerful thing. She's poetic and philosophical. It's a tragedy that great women thinkers are overlooked and underestimated due to the same reasons great male thinkers are praised. In association with drinking and sex men are viewed as lively and well lived whereas women are viewed as cheap and worthless.

[@estelle6884]

I related a little too much to her philosophical crisis and have always felt so alone because of it, it’s so comforting that she experienced it too because she’s one of my inspirations

[@EliMardirossian]

Lana was to music in the early 2010s what Kate Bush was to it in the late 70s and early 80s... Like the latter, she birthed a whole generation of new musicians to whom she showed there's an alternative way of making music... she changed the entire landscape and even established and mainstream pop stars borrowed elements from her (you know when Lady Gaga fans make those 'pop stars before gaga and pop stars after gaga' collages? Lana sort of did the same... in a way she de-gag-ified the landscape lmao). And just like Kate, she was controversial without trying. Both are introverted and a bit reclusive yet inherently provocative by just being themselves... Such global cultural treasures that we should never cease to cherish

I love your take on her relatability to middle and low class, and all other music being about unattainable materialistic things everyone desires.

I love her songwriting, her voice, everything. :)

[@gabrielmarchena1755]

As a foreing I love the way Lana cares and represent American Culture. I sure many American never realize how their aesthetic had an strong influent under other culture. Something about Lana feels like an Old Hollywood star Like Elizabeth Taylor Eva Gardner or Audrey Kathleen you know Glamoruous Elegant and Beauty. Songs like National athem, West cost, Florida kilos, Ride, etc makes me felt a strange nostalgic feeling for something I've never live. even the way she mades cameos to American pop personalities Like Elvis and Marilyn or even female poets like Silvia Plath just made her sounds a lil bit more more especial And I sure Lana Del rey will rember as one of the biggest American pop culture Icons.

[@Cat-tg8nk]

this was an excellent watch. As a non-latin american i never noticed that specific aspects of her music speak to the experiences of latin americans rather than solely anglo americans like herself. it seems she understands the american experience from different perspectives and incorportes that into her work beautifully. thanks for the video.

I first heard Born to Die when I was in nursing school. I was astounded by the quality of her music and the beauty and melancholy she was able to convey to me while giving me a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time. Despite the dark lyrics and undertone I was hooked. I quickly listened to her other songs in the Born to Die album and loved them all. Lana Del Rey sounded like a gangster Nancy Sinatra and quickly became a favorite of mine. She is unique, very poetic, relatable and sounds like no one else in the music industry. Oh, and her song Shades of Cool should have been a theme song for a James Bond film.

I started listening to her when I was 12... am 24 now n I can't forget my stupid azz for thinking she was a singer from the Golden age XD I was shocked when I found out she was born in 1985, but hey again I was 12 sooo lol, Love Lana n her music is legendary, thanks for making this video x

I’m obsessed with this! I only have two tattoos, one of them being for Lana. It’s hard to explain to people why I love her so much when they ask why I have it. I think I’d point them to this video to sum it all up. Words can’t explain how enticing and comforting she is to her fans. You did an amazing job at giving a glimpse of that along with her music and backstory. I think people who aren’t fans will understand how revolutionary and talented she is through this video. And fans like me will fall in love with her even more.

As a fellow Cuban, i relate to this vid 100%. It’s kind of cool how much of our culture impacted and inspired Lana with her song writing ~
