I agree. There's such a strong pattern of picking the wrong men, of loss, perhaps of neglect and abuse. She claims she is singing the story of her life, and not for nobody but herself. I hope it works. A commenter on another song said she was worried about Lana and hoped that she, Lana, would be protected. She's a recovering alcoholic--as she's stated many times--and I know that puts her at risk. Music is a crazy business. She's worked so hard for so long and now she is famous, very successful, and BELOVED. Man--how do you manage all that and keep your head on straight? My prayers are with her.
I love how this song sounds happy at first, but afterall, the meaning is really sad. And it reminds me so much of my ,,sweet sixteen". Lana should one day write a biography, so we would know all the secrets of her life.
+Zuzana Ludačková print out the lyrics of all her songs. Staple them together. Put a cover on it with a pretty picture of her there. You have her autobiography.
This song really means a lot to me. When my best friend and I were in high school we were crazy and literally did everything this song talks about (besides like stealing police cars lol) and this song describes our lives back then perfectly. The day I found this song it immediately reminded me of us so I sent it to her. It was like our song from then on. Then one day when we were 16 my best friend's parents sent her off to a rehab boarding school after repetitively getting in trouble and I didn't see her or even hear from her for 2 years. The day I found out she was gone, while balling my eyes out, I re-listened to this song and this part hit me: "We got into trouble and when stuff got bad I got sent away, I was waving on the train platform crying cause I know I'm never coming back." Like damn, even that part came true. When I missed her I would listen to this song.. Now she's been back for a while and we're both clean. We've been best friends for 7 years now and she just transferred to my college and this is still my favorite song :)
I used to have friend , and were like BEST FRIENDS , and now she's not talking with me , and i'm really depressed because i love her so much(as friend of course) , and she says that she's talking with me , but she's not , not the way we used to....
I like this version a lot more, the lyrics sound like they were made for an upbeat jam that simultaneously makes you depressed. In the original it’s just sad vibes all around
I think what’s special about Lana is that she sings about what relates to us, as women, in a way that we all sort of just understand absolutely. Even if you don’t relate to what she is specifically singing about, somehow, it still resonates with you and you feel it in a way like you can’t even explain. When I listen to Lana, it’s like this little secret club where we all know each other’s feelings and everything suddenly makes sense. I can’t quit describe it, but it’s amazing. Maybe I make no sense, but that’s how Lana makes me feel.
I love this version way more than the studio version! It's the little extra lyrics and happier beat that makes this version more beautiful. However the studio version fits the lyrics more and is the one to listen to when you're feel a bit more down.
Roxanna Reyes᪥ she naturally had a nose like that , the only thing I think she got corrected was that her nose had a little bend in the middle , I think she got it removed
it's sad cause I love all her songs but i can't relate to any of them.... i'd just much rather stay home and play video games or something and she's all 'running in our black bikini tops from the cops'
That's the thing about Lana to me. You don't have to relate to her completely. Have ever done drugs? No. Have I ever drank alcohol? No. (Besides when I was like 7 joking around with my parents) But, somehow, I feel this connection to the crazy, dangerous things she's done. Maybe it's that she connects with the dark side everyone has inside. That's how I see Lana's songs.
Aww just realized this was uploaded 9 years ago today (September 30th). I just turned 20, I’ve been a fan since I was 17. I come back to this video all the time. I absolutely love this version! 💗💋🎀
one of her many talents is thinking up as many details as possible, niche details, details that others wouldnt have thunk to include, to mention, and weaving those beautiful little intricacies into RHYMING prose that tells a CAPTIVATING story, and transports you to the imagined life… she remembers the cops, she remembers the party favors, she remembers the sweet sixteens… shes very detail oriented and good with words… you can tell when shes writing the lyrics shes lived the experiences, values them enough to mention all their little details, and lives them vividly again in her head as she writes…

People that say they like this version better then the original, don't forget that Lana was aiming for sad songs. While I like this version too, the original (sad version) is the best for me.
lana wasn't 'going for' sad songs.. it just happens that most of them are, the album is based on how fame isn't all its cracked up to be, the tempos and sounds to her songs are all changing, the song is just as 'sad regardless of the beat or backtrack, its about the lyrics.
+Tyler Dunn Actually, the songs are about her life and most of the men she dated and people she knew. [Shades Of Blue, Black Beauty, Terrence Loves You.] Also, this version of the song isn't even on the Born To Die Album, maybe you should listen to the original before saying this song is on the album.
shsl britney obi its not on the album.. its just the demo (the version created before being edited for the album).. read the argument before you go and bud in
This makes me think of a friend I had in high school. She was the complete opposite of me, she was trouble. Drugs and all kinds of mischief but I adored her and we were close. Listening to this song, I see us sitting on the sidewalk sharing headphones and listening to whatever metal band she wanted me to hear, sharing glitter makeup and her putting lilac blush on me, her giving me her jacket when I was cold, threatening to beat up stupid boys who messed with me, cute nicknames she had for me, the kitten she found and brought to school, how she'd kiss my cheek whenever I hear this song. We went our separate ways when I heard from another person that she paid a crush I had to pretend to like me, and I don't know if it's true or not. I would hope it was just a cruel comment and that she wouldn't do something like that, because she seemed so protective of me and threatened to beat up a guy who SA'd me... well, that one SA'd me too. I saw her in the hallway again at community college the short time I was there, and I almost forgot it happened. I wanted to hug her, but instead I got emotional and walked away without saying hi. Sometimes I wish I did. I miss her and I'd like to talk to her again, but I don't think I can reach out because of what I remember that hurt me. I think I miss the moments I had with her and feeling like I had a connection, but it's sad that what happened had to color it. I hope she's doing okay and sending her love in spite of it all. This is for you, D. I miss you. ❤
So I used to despise Lana because I hated Born To Die and I thought her voice was weird. Tonight I just decided to look at more of her songs. After listening to Summertime Sadness, I love her. Her lyrics are beautiful and she puts effort into her music videos. Her voice is unique and she's an amazing woman to say the least. I regret my poor judgment prior to listening to some of her other songs.

had to move to a foreign country because of uni recently, left place I’ve spent 6 years in, left best friendships behind. Always coming back to this masterpiece, somehow makes me feel better
I have searched far and wide for a catchty remix.... all i can say is AMAZING! i have never heard a remix where the ARTIST puts effort into it! Like Skrillex or DJs did all the work! Nothing compares! Love her voice
the hip hop beat on this song works well with her vocals. Much better than the original. I guess its true that unreleased originals are better than the edited version actually released for the album

IK ITS SO MUCH SLOWER
Aha
Same, but I prefer the earlier released demo
at first i was like no way, the album version is better....
but this grew on me over time! now i cant go back
the fact that Gordon Freeman takes his time to listen to this song is amazing ahahaha
The more you listen to her songs,the more you wonder about the things that Lana had gone through
I agree. There's such a strong pattern of picking the wrong men, of loss, perhaps of neglect and abuse. She claims she is singing the story of her life, and not for nobody but herself. I hope it works. A commenter on another song said she was worried about Lana and hoped that she, Lana, would be protected. She's a recovering alcoholic--as she's stated many times--and I know that puts her at risk. Music is a crazy business.

I would die!!! That'd be legendary!!

I love how this song sounds happy at first, but afterall, the meaning is really sad. And it reminds me so much of my ,,sweet sixteen". Lana should one day write a biography, so we would know all the secrets of her life.
Yesssss

is that u and your best friend in your profile picture
+niya wise that's actually another one of my friends
Your story is moving. There's a sadness to this song even though it's upbeat tempo. Song gives me chills.
I love that

I love this version over the finalized version, this beat arrangement fits the lyrics better.
+Solomon Dow Exactly what I thought!!
+Tayla Nicole they have market and trends... and they also have a main concept for born to die, so yeah... they had to make it into an album
Solomon Dow I disagree, the finalized version matches the lyrics much more
@@taylaholate but I feel like it would’ve sounded out of place on the album if it still sounded like this
I heard the studio version prior to this demo but I clicked on the wrong video and fell in love with this version.
Me too.
haha me too
Me too :(
jay ! I did the opposite and it took me SOOO long to get used to the slow one
Same
This version has an edge to it and is more uplifting. The studio album version is sadder and cynical.
Farah W I feel like the album matches the lyrics.
Same this version reigns superior
Yup
Yes I love this version so much more!
I like this version a lot more, the lyrics sound like they were made for an upbeat jam that simultaneously makes you depressed. In the original it’s just sad vibes all around

lol problem?

True dat...:')
JM Cooper We don't know her situation but I do know music has saved a lotta folks from implosion
I think what’s special about Lana is that she sings about what relates to us, as women, in a way that we all sort of just understand absolutely.

This is hella poppin. Lana should have made this the main version.
This is 20 times better than the album version.
DJ Dolly Incapax You said it!
Very late but I totally agree
the album version sound sad i love both tho
My least favourite of her songs turned into a decent one. (Comes from a huge fan)
@@mariast1002 LEAST? It’s my second fav of hers lol
I love this version way more than the studio version! It's the little extra lyrics and happier beat that makes this version more beautiful. However the studio version fits the lyrics more and is the one to listen to when you're feel a bit more down.
Gypsy Z true
Couldn’t have said it better myself. 👏✨
WHY ARE DEMO VERSIONS OF SONGS *ALWAYS* THE BEST VERSION ??? ?
Help I can't stop listening to this song
they call me gothique zombie but i'm a crybaby also
The way she says heaven is an art form
Omg usually I prefer studio versions a bit more, but this is way better! But i do like the back ground voices and the pabts blue ribbon on ice part
I'm obsessed with the outro at 3:08, why was it removed from the album version?
That is what I said!
She has the most beautiful nose I have ever seen. She is like the classic beauty of 1940s
ohyeahmeow surgery I’m sure she has done it to make it look like that but it’s fine with me 😊
Roxanna Reyes᪥ she naturally had a nose like that , the only thing I think she got corrected was that her nose had a little bend in the middle , I think she got it removed
@@krishna-dp1hd still surgery 😌
@@roxanne_ u sound bitter lol
i think i just died and went to heaven
cinnamon is sleepy did you say “yes to heaven”
this is just fabulous
yessss! i love lana and this song is amazing and i just had to say, as a makeup geek, her liner is beyond perfection in this picture
As an 11 year old guy thats a fan of Lana Del Rey, i feel like a dangerous and independent woman while listening to this.
made my day
perd queen
PURRRR
You’re too cute 🥰
youre amazing
idk why but this version makes me dancing xD c'mon with me dance !!!
chair-dancing with You :DDD woooo
it's sad cause I love all her songs but i can't relate to any of them....
i'd just much rather stay home and play video games or something and she's all 'running in our black bikini tops from the cops'
Lmfao
YOU'RE RIGHT she did write a song about video games! Never again will I doubt you assassins creed
That's the thing about Lana to me. You don't have to relate to her completely.
Have ever done drugs? No. Have I ever drank alcohol? No. (Besides when I was like 7 joking around with my parents) But, somehow, I feel this connection to the crazy, dangerous things she's done. Maybe it's that she connects with the dark side everyone has inside. That's how I see Lana's songs.
Pretty Little Liars EXACTLY! I think she makes us see the beautiful of it.. of our "dark sides"
I can relate to all her songs. Sad but true.

I fucking love this to death
The vibes music can give off are incredible

This song IS summer :)
only lana ca make having a bee on your face sensual
UGH I LOVE THISSSS VERSION
By far one of the best songs she's ever done. Love it!
one of her many talents is thinking up as many details as possible, niche details, details that others wouldnt have thunk to include, to mention, and weaving those beautiful little intricacies into RHYMING prose that tells a CAPTIVATING story, and transports you to the imagined life… she remembers the cops, she remembers the party favors, she remembers the sweet sixteens… shes very detail oriented and good with words… you can tell when shes writing the lyrics shes lived the experiences, values them enough to mention all their little details, and lives them vividly again in her head as she writes…
I never thought that I would listen to a Lana Del Rey song all day!!!! I'm in love with this song!!!!!!!!!!!
I've never heard this version, but like all Lana's music, I absolutely adore it
This version is superior and i still regularly enjoy it.
Remember how we used to party up all night
Sneaking out and looking for a taste of real life
Drinking in the small town firelight
(Pabst Blue Ribbon on ice)
Sweet sixteen and we had arrived
Walking down the street as they whistle, hi, hi
Stealin' police cars with the senior guys
Teachers said we'd never make it out alive
There she was my new best friend
High heels in her hands, swayin' in the wind
While she starts to cry, mascara runnin' down her little Bambi eyes
Lana, how I hate those guys
This is what makes us girls
We don't look for heaven and we put our love first
Somethin' that we'd die for it's a curse
Don't cry about it, don't cry about it
This is what makes us girls
We don't stick together 'cause we put our love first
Don't cry about him, don't cry about him
It's all gonna happen
And that's where the beginning of the end begun
Everybody knew that we had too much fun
We were skippin' school and drinkin' on the job
(With the boss)
Sweet sixteen and we had arrived
Baby's table dancin' at the local dive
Cheerin our names in the pink spotlight
Drinkin' cherry schnapps in the velvet night
Know we used to go break in
To the hotel pool, glittering we'd swim
Runnin' from the cops in our black bikini tops
Screaming, get us while we're hot
We don't give a what
This is what makes us girls
We don't look for heaven and we put our love first
Somethin' that we'd die for it's a curse
Don't cry about it, don't cry about it
This is what makes us girls
We don't stick together 'cause we put our love first
Don't cry about him, don't cry about him
It's all gonna happen
The prettiest crowd that you had ever seen
Ribbons in our hair and our eyes gleamed mean
A freshmen generation of degenerate beauty queens
And you know something?
They were the only friends I ever had
We got into trouble and when stuff got bad
I got sent away, I was waving on the train platform
Crying 'cause I know I'm never comin' back
This is what makes us girls
We don't look for heaven and we put our love first
Somethin' that we'd die for it's a curse
Don't cry about it, don't cry about it
This is what makes us girls
Darlin' little queens do you know what you're worth?
I'll tell you everyday till you get it, girl
It's all gonna happen
This is what makes us girls now, baby
This is why we rule the world now, baby
This is what makes us girls now, baby
Why we rule the world now, baby, oh
This is what makes us girls now, baby
This is why we rule the world now, baby
This is what makes us girls now, baby
Why we rule the world now, baby, oh

Is it bad that I relate to this song so much... and I'm a dude?

Vonne Weaver running from the cop in your black bikini top screaming "get us while we're hot" huh? ;) hahaha
***** shut up douche :O!
***** You are so fucking stupid.
Vonne Weaver No, some parts of the song are actually non-conforming to gender
So I used to despise Lana because I hated Born To Die and I thought her voice was weird. Tonight I just decided to look at more of her songs. After listening to Summertime Sadness, I love her. Her lyrics are beautiful and she puts effort into her music videos. Her voice is unique and she's an amazing woman to say the least. I regret my poor judgment prior to listening to some of her other songs.
I love that tinkling melody in the beginning and ending. It's hypnotical.
Verse 1]
Remember how we used to party up all night?
Sneaking out and looking for a taste of real life
Drinking in the small town firelight
(Pabst Blue Ribbon on ice)
Sweet sixteen, and we had arrived
Walking down the streets as they whistle, "Hi, hi!"
Stealin' police cars with the senior guys
Teachers said we'd never make it out alive
[Pre-Chorus 1]
There she was, my new best friend
High heels in her hand, swayin' in the wind
While she starts to cry
Mascara running down her little Bambi eyes
"Lana, how I hate those guys"
[Chorus]
This is what makes us girls
We all look for heaven and we put love first
Something that we'd die for, it's our curse
Don't cry about it, don't cry about it
This is what makes us girls
We don’t stick together 'cause we put love first
Don't cry about him, don't cry about him
It's all gonna happen
[Verse 2]
And that's where the beginning of the end begun
Everybody knew that we had too much fun
We were skipping school and drinking on the job
With the boss
Sweet sixteen, and we had arrived
Baby's table dancing at the local dive
Cheering our names in the pink spotlight
Drinking cherry schnapps in the velvet night
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Yo, we used to go break into the hotel
Glimmering, we’d swim
Running from the cops in our black bikini tops
Screaming, "Get us while we're hot, get us while we're hot"
(C'mon, take a shot)
[Chorus]
This is what makes us girls
We all look for heaven and we put love first
Something that we'd die for, it's our curse
Don't cry about it, don't cry about it
This is what makes us girls
We don’t stick together 'cause we put love first
Don't cry about him, don't cry about him
It's all gonna happen
[Bridge]
The prettiest in-crowd that you had ever seen
Ribbons in our hair, and our eyes gleamed dream
A freshmen generation of degenerate beauty queens
And you know something?
They were the only friends I ever had
When I got into trouble, and when stuff got bad
I got sent away, I was waving on the train platform
Crying 'cause I know I'm never coming back
[Chorus]
This is what makes us girls
We all look for heaven and we put love first
Something' that we'd die for, it's our curse
Don't cry about it, don't cry about it
This is what makes us girls
We don’t stick together 'cause we put love first
Don't cry about him, don't cry about him
It's all gonna happen, oh

best remix for sure - love the electronic synth effects
I love this version, better than original studio version.
had to move to a foreign country because of uni recently, left place I’ve spent 6 years in, left best friendships behind. Always coming back to this masterpiece, somehow makes me feel better
This is such as good version of this song
I love this version! Thank you!
This version has the youthful playfulness that's in the story of lyrics
i love this song so much!
Thing song screams 'Pretty Little Liars'.
yaaaassss

I have searched far and wide for a catchty remix.... all i can say is AMAZING! i have never heard a remix where the ARTIST puts effort into it! Like Skrillex or DJs did all the work!
Nothing compares! Love her voice

YASSSS ORCHESTRA AND A BOMB BEAT!!!
YESSSSSS

Its why we rule the world baby ohhhhhhh
This is on repeat I can’t get it out of my head!! I’m so in love with her 😍
the hip hop beat on this song works well with her vocals. Much better than the original. I guess its true that unreleased originals are better than the edited version actually released for the album
I cant handle this perfection
this is way better than the studio version
yep this is one of my favorite songs ever it's my life
the album version is good, but this just has that extra thing, don't know what it is, but it's really great :)
I LOVE THIS VERSION!!!! SO AWESOME!!!!
