Therapist Reacts To: Young & Beautiful by Lana Del Rey *Fears Around Aging & Dating*

[@kimrcatubig]

I love how we all smiled when Lana smiled 😂

[@nishthagupta1357]

Ikr

[@DirtCheapFU]

I don't smile. More like, melt alittle bit...

[@mr.daytonameth]

@@DirtCheapFU same! i remember when this MV came out and i was just melting by how gorgeous she is

[@justamelia]

lana saying "actually i don’t want to bring him anymore" after the lyrics "dear lord, when i get to heaven please let me bring my man" was my highlight of 23! 😌✨

[@mendwithmere]

HA! That’s amazing

[@EvanthiaFalaga]

Which live performance was it, please?

[@justamelia]

@@EvanthiaFalaga glastonbury festival 2023 :))

[@videoconnoisseur]

I remember that! And, did you notice the lyric change in Unchained Melody from I hunger to I hungerED for your touch. Lana being mindful appeals to my logical brain.

[@nishthagupta1357]

Yes😂😂

[@patriciahess8994]

This song is from The Great Gatsby soundtrack written from the perspective of Daisy. I find it interesting that Lana has the 2 teardrops since Daisy caused the deaths of 2 people.

[@pele_the_phoenix]

Hey Mere! So, Lana wrote the song in 2013 and she actually wrote it from Daisy’s perspective.

[@djscarlet169]

LOVED THE BANGS, it's giving florence welch

[@nahuelconstantine]

She looks like her indeed ❤

[@nahuelconstantine]

Ive been requesting a flo reaction for ages lol i hope she will ❤❤❤

[@thytuz]

This song was for The Great Gatsby reboot, from 2013. So it's close to the Ultraviolence era. It actually relates so much to this album. Thank you for another amazing reaction, and I'm asking once again for Sportcruiser, from her poetry book.

[@thytuz]

Two Lana videos in a row. I'm here for this.

[@mendwithmere]

🤍 u

[@mrovvka6882]

You look amazing with bangs, reminds me of Florence Welch. It would be cool if u reacted to her song "The end of love" I love this one so much

[@irismikaela]

So true, I too thought that she reminds me of Florence Welch with her new bangs! Love it when spontaneously cutting bangs actually works out and looks good on someone, couldn't be me haha

[@witcherye]

she looks beautiful

[@campbellsoup-gt8xw]

a reaction to old money from ultraviolence would be cool :) it has a few similarities to young and beautiful’s themes.. the second verse from old money is my favorite part!

[@FrenchRedHawk2011]

“Old Money” would be awesome for her to do. It is one of my favorite Lana songs.

[@Unknown-bz8tr]

Mere is the definition of beauty with brains, periodt 💅

[@RicardoChavez-iz4nx]

i love how Mere's mind always fly to something dark and twisted like murder when watching something simple like two drawn tear drops, because girl, same here hahahah

[@Yairushvlogz]

My fav part is that you share your stories and how you relate to the songs. Keep it up! Love u xoxo

[@nowhere1782]

Her reaction to music, her point of view, and all those little details of her personal experience fascinate me. I'm currently practising my empathy for my journaling journey, and this type of videos really helps me explore those other perspectives. She does a great job and I wish she knew that I am really thankful for her videos; thank you, if you ever come to see this comment

[@soph260]

Feeling super lucky with 2 uploads back to back! I just wanted to leave a comment showing my appreciation for you as I've been here a while now and just adore you & your interpretations/reactions so much. Hope 2024 treats you well Mere :)

[@mendwithmere]

Thank you for leaving the comment and being with me for such a long time! It means so much and sending you 🤍

[@rebecadefreitasdamas1737]

This is my favorite Lana song, it is so relatable and I used to listen to it on my phone coming back home from high school looking out of the bus window. I feel like this is one of girls biggest insecurities, we are treated like dolls and judged by our looks since kids and as we grow we fear loosing this attention, this femininity even... I love your video, and yes, she is very distracting. 😂❤

[@MickReynoldsAug7]

Thanks for reacting to this video. I love it! 🥰 Btw your bangs look great. You are beautiful!

[@Uhoriah]

omgggg I love your bangs! they looks so good! And I feel like they will only get better as they grow.

[@-chenlanying5818]

She wrote it for The Great Gatsby from Daisy Buchanan's perspective

[@melliecara]

Honestly I don’t know how she does that. She has the gift to make you remember something you had, or, and this is wherever it gets to the Woah level, remember something you have never done nor seen. But you think you have, bc the lyrics go so deep. This happens a-lot with Lana’s music. But really makes you think back to the days of being forever wild, hit summer nights… it always gets me. And I can’t decide if it’s good or bad 😅 Thanks for the video Mere! Greetings from 🇫🇮

[@PhillipedeSousaSilva]

Loved the reaction Mere! I think tou would really love "Wild at heart" it's a song from Chemtrails Over the Country Club. It's about Lana being unapologetically herself, and understanding that people love her for who she is.

[@NotTheVibe]

off topic. you're so pretty and have the most soothing voice and I love your lana reactions and your advice!

[@FrenchRedHawk2011]

My favorite part of this awesome review is you saying how you yourself should make yourself shine and feel good on your own. Also, I agree with the whole concept of not wanting to feel a deficit in the absence of the other. Please do “Old Money” at some point. I connect these two songs.

[@Harrock]

The great Gatsby is just such a timeless book ... 100 years old ! And still so relatable

[@Ally-pf7wi]

I love your new hair cut, you actully look like Lana del rey in her Honeymoon era, and thats my favorite Lana del rey era, you are so beutiful ❤️

[@ogeleazar]

We need you to react to Summertime Sadness the theme is so dark and disturbing since it was based on Lana’s best friend

[@josepinzon1515]

I don't know what you did to me in this video but at the end of the song my eyes watered and I have been listening to Lana's early work at work all week and I have been just fine. Your reaction and this song together pulled my heart strings, thank you

[@Pure-Jealousy]

Love the bangs! I impulsively cut mine a few months ago 😬 and I'm now loving them!!!! ❤️

[@Freezerbride5]

This song is so iconic and beautiful 😭😭

[@janepar715]

Ok but the bangs are everything!

[@malaysiavasquez2207]

I love watching your videos and hearing your interpretations! It's like I can feel your kindness radiating I don't know how to describe it❤

[@iliterallylovedior]

Hi Mere! I love your videos and im reading your book rn!! To answer your question, the song was written and recorded some time in 2012 by Lana and Rick Nowels. It was intended to be used on her studio album/ep "Paradise". In June 2012, when asked what music would be on her new album/ep, on a Spanish radio station, Lana sang the chorus acapella. The song was referred to as "Will You Still Love Me When I'm No Longer Young and Beautiful". The song was reworked/rewrote for The Great Gatsby in 2013 and was released as a single on April 23 2013. The song is between "Paradise" and "Ultraviolence"

[@mendwithmere]

Oh wow. I can totally see how it was during this time. THANK YOU FOR READING MY BOOK!! Thank you for letting me know and sending you 🤍

[@mentiwow]

I love your reactions so much, been waiting for this one ahhh❤

[@HeyItsSilvye]

Hey Mere :) I truly appreciate your videos. I've been watching them for quite some time now, and I admire the personal way you analyze music. It amazes me how deeply music can evoke emotions in people. I appreciate your sincerity and the authenticity you bring to all your videos. It feels like you genuinely enjoy the music rather than just providing a review. It's more like you're conveying a message you've captured from it.

[@Itsme3487]

Love your reaction cause after years of being a fan and watching this video a 1000 times I still get shocked by Lana’s beauty😂

[@bantorio6525]

... I loved your reaction ... and ... you're young and beautiful ... !!! ... ... ... gracias ... !!! ... 💙

[@cerde4392]

if you want to see more of her smiling, you should check out her song “Love”!

[@jocif-uj5ox]

the haircut looks great! it's giving daisy jones and the six :)

[@abdullahtv3167]

we love you so much Meredith!!!❤️

[@JR_Cargile]

Oh my God your hair is everything!! Absolutely beautiful! 🤍✨

[@brsixtn]

Love the song and your reaction, thank you as always🩷

[@bassfaerie8204]

Your bangs look stunning! Really accentuates your face shape 😊

[@dswiftie7719]

I was about 35 when my ex cheated on me. Like you I was thrown for a loop. devastated. I had 3 kids. I trusted him totally. You will find someone. You are healing. Allow yourself time. You will be fine. I love you.

[@DirtCheapFU]

Song in a similar theme (A Good One) I Will You Follow In the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie. Then there's Trapeze Swinger(Live...) by Iron and Wine. They explore a similar journey between a couple and being nostalgic of their time to together.

[@terence3095]

You should definitely listen to "Old Money". Probably my favorite Lana's song. It continues Y&B lyrically, but in a more dark way. There is something extremely sad about "Old Money" and I still don't really understand what.

[@mmontague4937]

Mere you look great with bangs! I can’t wait for you to do the born to die album!

[@venomside]

This song references "Lolita", another song by Lana. In this song she says she wants her cake, she doesn't have relationships with boys because she has a man, but she's actually too young for him. Young And Beautiful makes clear her fear of losing this man because now she's had her cake (this could mean she had a birthday, probably 30) and now she's scared of losing this man because she knows he only likes of young girls. Hope this helps. Love your channel 🖤

[@cordycepsinfection]

you look amazing! 🩵🥰 awesome video as usual btw!

[@jefiinho]

Mend with Mere in your era HONEYMOON (the hair) ❤️

[@madilol378]

girl i love the bangs

[@DJKRIMES]

2:44 melt with mere

[@raiarthur7873]

You look beautiful with your hair!! It reminds me of Florence and the Machine

[@thebaffman4898]

Funny how this is the very first video I watched on your channel and instinctively I thought you always had bangs as soon as I saw you. Anyway, I think that when you truly love someone you always see them as beautiful, no matter what. At least, that how it's been for me.

[@emanueledearaujo4263]

Conheci você recentemente lá no instagram e já corri pro youtube pra ver suas reações as músicas da Lana

[@welkin7321]

hi mere! lovely video as always, but don’t be worried about “talking too much from your own perspective” - people love hearing others analysis because we WANT to hear how it viscerally effects you! also wanted to say that because of you, i am making the commitment this year to be a more thoughtful person. you will continue to inspire me to get better with your content and i’m sure you’ll inspire plenty of other people! best wishes xx

[@lynnecamp3268]

The bangs/fringe looks really good. 👍

[@jeidyandres7607]

Mere always stopping videos after listening the first two lines of the song hahaha ❤

[@emilyb.8219]

I so relate to getting distracted by Lana's beauty in her music videos, she's mesmerizing 😍

[@ellah-613]

lana’s songs are always amazing! i always love your breakdowns to these beautiful songs. if you haven’t already heard it, i would recommend the song “family line” by conan gray. it’s such a beautiful, heartbreaking and vulnerable song, especially the bridge! also, he’s really really close friends with olivia rodrigo, and i know you loved her song that you listened to.

[@thytuz]

By the first seconds on the video I really though I was watching Florence Welch, you are really looking just like her. (Both so beautiful queens

[@mendwithmere]

Wow, thank you!

[@Oscar-xh7nf]

I think that when she sings "play with me like a child" she wanna say that her partner does funny things with her and that nobody of them take care about the consequences. Just like children do. In fact, it shows the complicity that exists between lovers.

[@Colors2608]

Hi Mere! I would love for you to analyse "Dark but just a game" from Lana. It's a very deep song and I think you may like it.

[@pawankumar-rl2ic]

Tqx for reacting ✨️

[@sparksflyyy0112]

Listening to Lana always make me feel suspense and nostalgia of something i haven't experienced yet. I don't know. She enjoys giving me goosebumps all the time.

[@MiguelMikeLopez]

Beautiful song. Lana always nails it. I like your hairstyle 💇 ❤

[@ruinswithin]

Please react to Beautiful (Blue Banisters). I would love to hear your opinion, and it's not(necessarily) as dark as the others.

[@MickReynoldsAug7]

I love this song. The piano+her voice😌. Heavenly

[@Cherrydacherry]

That song truly is beautiful! 🥹

[@JimHugg]

A dude in prison told me that an unshaded in teardrop represents the loss of a loved one, a shaded teardrop means just what you think he killed someone.

[@pamelapiano3904]

You look super cute with bangs! Either way! ❤

[@ethanlee3557]

Hi Mere! Just wondering if you could react to “Tusla Jesus Freak” soon! It’s amazing I love it so much thank you for this amazing video too!!❤

[@turtles9048]

I love the hair!

[@shilohgoes5544]

Your hair looks amazing

[@LanaStanxoxo]

YOU LOOK AMAZING QUEEN🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@LanaStanxoxo]

Also please react to selby wall by Ethel Cain it’s amazing and very interesting ❤❤❤❤

[@mendwithmere]

Thank you!!

[@shaniazimmerman3922]

I always thought the line “he’s my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds” meant he makes her feel bright when his attention is on her and she feels expensive and rare, like a million bucks.

[@christafijo4608]

I love the reaction!!

[@joanazorro3318]

You should react to “born to die” music video! I really wanted to hear your take on it

[@giulia382]

Hi beautiful, as always your videos are very interesting and you bring quality thoughts. I suggest some songs that you can react to: God Knows I Tried, 24, Ave Maria, Cult Leader, JFK, Trash Magic, Backfire, Golden Grill.

[@jonathangramajo738]

Hair is giving honeymoon album ❤

[@DreaminAbHer0in]

Always love your reviews 🫶 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REACT TO PRETTY WHEN YOU CRY OR CRUEL WORLD 🙏🙏🙏

[@thruthemotions]

Love this reaction. Lana del rey is the queeeen❤has anyone told you that You look like my favorite singer Florence Welch? Please check her music out if you haven't already. My favs by her are 'Cosmic love' , 'shake it off',, 'no light no light', and 'never let me go' her stage name is Florence and the machine.

[@BeckyLStoutWriter]

Don't worry, Lana. If he really loves you, you'll always be beautiful to him. 😊 Why, yes, I AM a hopeless romantic! It's just how I roll. Plus, I had grandparents who were married over 50 years and that's how it was with them. 🥰

[@miapom6170]

Hi, thanks for reacting to this song !! I recomand listening to "suburban house" by Holy Mave ft Lana del rey its a pretty recent song and lana touches on the subjects you mentioned here

[@kennedymontoya9962]

I always thought the two teardrops represented Gatsbys and Myrtle's death.

[@imarandomgirl.]

3:04 relatable😂

[@Kendrickyonce]

Ilysm

[@agatharedriver668]

I really enjoy your reactions to Lana! Been following for a while from Spain 😊 Could I request you to react to Wildflower wildfire? Thank you ❤

[@Freezerbride5]

I’d love to see your reaction to cellophane music video by fka twigs 😄

[@growellyrowelly]

I always took the teardrops to symbolize Myrtle and Jay

[@Cami_2006.]

Please do Hollywood Bowl!

[@CubaSingz]

Review “RADIO” next by Lana Del Rey! It’s amazing!!!! PLEASE?!?! 🙏

[@RaraAviss]

Those bangs suit you so well I have no words. Would definitely turn my head if I saw you on a street. I know It’s uncomfortable and this is the reason why I never did it but it looks worth it on you

[@Virmar]

Mere please react to Arcadia, with the original video, which is superb 💕💋

[@Alexellis738]

I love young and beautiful!

[@_arsenicum_]

Hi Mere! Another beautiful reaction and interpretation, you're so sweet and gorgeous as always, I love so much watching your reactions especially to Lana's songs❤ If I'm right, you didn't do a reaction on "Heroin" by LDR, couldn't find it. It's such a special song, one of my favourites of her, so I hope you'll listen to it one day if you would like to UPD: found it, I hope you liked it

[@davidgrubbs4480]

I love Lana and your reaction! I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on Kasey Chambers ' take on Eminem 's Lose Yourself. It's extremely emotional and passionate.

[@Gh0sT_PATRIOT11]

I mean this respectfully, you're amazing. Anyone would be lucky to call you their partner

[@Yairushvlogz]
