Bottom lash mascara/makeup is giving Twiggy!!! You look soo good with the bangs, they truly make your eyes pop as a focal point!

I love how Lana always sings about heavy stuff, in such a beautiful way because it’s not about the bad perspective but from the one who is living it and how it feels at the moment. Sad, tragic and beautiful
For me, what was born to die is their relationship and the fact that he survived the accident represents that he was not as involved in the relationship as She who gives her life (metaphorically or not) for it and he can continue after this. Hi from Argentina, love your videos ❤
Omg. THIS!!
Wow, your comment finally helped me understand that part of the video after so many years 🎉🎉
I think a lot of the themes in this music video can linked back to one of Lana’s quotes, especially when she says “I was so confused as a little child… scared that I couldn’t find all the answers…”Here’s the quote from one of her interviews on the album:
“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.”
I was so confused as a middle child*
@@claualexis1737she’s the oldest so it’s little
@@claualexis1737no it's little
@@claualexis1737literally, no ♥️
I interpret a lot of her music as a portrayal/examination of women in intense, self-destructive relationships, and the mix of feelings and emotions that they are experiencing, but the songs or videos are by no means endorsing these relationships. It's kind of like if there was a movie about a woman in a relationship that had domestic violence, it would be telling her story, but not encouraging the violence itself. And in Lana's songs, just like in real life, there isn't always a fairytale ending to these relationships. She is a great storyteller, and I enjoy your reactions.
The sounds, the church, her make up, them kissing, this video is so iconic and means so much to me ❤ thanks for doing it
it’s a french castle not a church !
This album should have won 10 grammy awards😢
The way BTD was so disrespected by critics at the time is criminal... I was looking at Pitchfork's ratings for all her albums the other day and they gave BTD a 5.5 out of 10 😤 insanity
I think you'd absolutely fall in love with Buddy's Rendezvous!!! It's originally by Father John Misty but Lana covered and did so well. The lyrics are amazing and I'd be so interested in seeing your interpretation of it
SHE NEEDS TO DO THIS ONE
OHHHHHH YES TO BUDDY'S RENDEZVOUS! 🥺
Your bangs are giving 2015 Lana i love it
yes omg i was like mere is in her honeymoon era 😻
I think this song is brilliant cause she managed to merge together the trajectory of life with the trajectory of a relationship and kinda intertwined them. This song is very existential imo and makes sense since Lana graduated in metaphysical philosophy. I think she's making a strong statement here cause it's the opening song of her first album (as LDR at least). I think it's beautiful how she's able to express her fear of death and her existential questions that she's had since she was a little girl and relating them back to the fears and questions you can ask yourself when you're in a toxic relationship. It's also acknowledging that you know you're gonna die anyway when you're first born in the same way that you sometimes know a relationship isn't gonna last as soon as you get into it but it doesn't mean that the journey in between isn't worth it and beautiful anyway.
PS : The video was I think shot at the Fontainebleau Castle in France, near Paris and it was build in the 16th century I believe
OFF TO THE RACES PLEASE!!?
I would like to suggest "living legend" it's really a touching song from lana
Yes, one of my favorites!
definitely one of my favorite music videos ever!! please react to this is what makes us girls by lana
yesssss
Yep, I mentioned that song in my comment, as well as “Carmen.” Born To Die, to me personally, is her best album! I absolutely love her other albums and it’s tough to even make a choice, but if I had to, it would be this album.
They make a pact to commit suicide together. And they crash the car. But only she dies and he survives. This is the first part of a trilogy that continues with "Blue Jeans" where she shows the first part of their relationship and then with "Shades of Cool" where she's already dead and she haunts him when he's old through memories and visions. You should watch those videos in that order. And yes, she's all about romanticizing toxic relationships and offering herself as a willing victim to a destructive man. Her idea of romantic is to die together and find each other in the afterlife. She studied metaphysics at one point of her life and so she's obsessed with the idea of another realm of existence, and the afterlife, and in her mind nothing could be more romantic than that. You will find more clues in her song "Dark Paradise" (about love after death) and in her video for "Summertime Sadness" (about committing suicide and continue living in some kind of limbo). But most of all you will find clues about toxic relationships and offering herself as a willing victim in her song "Million Dollar Man" where she's like a dog at her master's feet (with lines like "if you're going crazy just grab me and take me, I'd follow you down down down, anywhere...") or in her song "Black Beauty" where she's willing to live a back and white life because her man hates colors. And finally, she's also obsessed with cult leaders and collective suicide. In her video "Freak" she portrays a cult, with a cult leader at the style of Charles Manson, surrounded by his girls followers, she being one of them.
I love how you basically just describs whats happening next during your analysis
you should totally react to tropico short film by lana del rey🤭🤭
This song is so iconic loved your reaction 💗💗
as lana once said meeting her favourite vloggers “bang on fleek”
Your bangs must stayyy they look soo good very 70's I think hah
Bangs giving me low key Florence Welch vibes 💖 Also, love your Lana reactions, I watch them every time. Sending you all my love and support.
i think she meant „born to die” not in a literal way, but in a metaphorical way, in which she is acknowledging that she knew from the start that their relationship was „born to die”. yes, she does use some more religious metaphors, but i truly have never saw the lyrics of this song as an existential song about all of us eventually dying, but us in toxic, unhealthy relationships, still staying, even though we know it is "killing us" and it was "born to die", but you just stay for the thrill or/and you are just mentally unwell/so dependent on that person that you are willing to take whatever time you can get with them. this can be (in my head, at least) allso applied to all kind of relationships (family, friends, friend groups, etc.)
also in the end of the music video (him holding her, while she is dead) - the final death of a person possibly being abused and used enough in that toxic relationship that they are far too gone now/dead
alsooo, one last thing, i see „you like your girls insane” as saying „you like having someone who is easy to manipulate and control”
I just want to say thank you
In the song Fingertips she talks about how Aaron end up dead and not her, and watchin Born To Die now it makes me think if it's not a reference to that, to his death!
Awww I love this woman… and I’m talking about Mend With Mere ❤ (ofc I’m a Lana fan haha) btw, this lady deserves more subs! 😊
React to *Honeymoon* by LDR❤️
I would love if you reacted to the summertime sadness music video, it’s so sad and tragic but at the same time so beautiful❤️ I love your videos so much
came here to second this!
I recommend pretty when I cry
thanks for dropping this video queen i'm about to have lunch and i love watching u while eating
What a hypnotic, captivating voice Lana has combined with themes that are all encompassing of love, death, and everything in between. Additionally, there is very strong imagery of Americana circa 1950s and 60s, as well as the present day. Rather similar to some of her other efforts on that front such as 'Video Games', which I am not sure if you have previously covered being new to your channel.
From a personal standpoint, the title of this track hits harder than ever before with the deaths of both of my parents over the last several years. Dad in 12/19 and Mom in 9/22. Mortality is something I am more cognizant of than ever before. And it is something we really have no control over insofar as when and how it will happen. But it will happen to all of us. Death is undefeated.
All you can really do is live your life day to day. And just try to be the best person you can be. I don't have the exact quote, but I can remember George Harrison once saying something along the lines of 'all we really have is the here and now. We can learn from the past, but we can't relive it. And we can only plan for the future so much because we don't know how much of one we will have'. Ominous words, but true nonetheless.
i love your lana reactions so much! whenever i see it on my feed i get so excited
THE BANGS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL MERE, OMGGG LOVE ITT
This is some of my favorite content. I really appreciate your interpretations. Such a painful expression of the tragic and often existential corners of life.
You should really react to "In my feelings" by Lana!! There’s a lot to talk about.
recently i have become your fan. can you please make a video on west coast?
Yes!!!! Please. That’s would be great
It would blow her mind!!!! She definitely should
oh my god u have to do the blue jeans music video next
it’s like a trilogy
or sum
I love your reaction, your amazing to feel all the good and bad things in Lana’s songs, thank you for this reaction was cool.
Greetings from Ecuador ❤
I love your haircut. It´s always good to know your thoughts about music and lyrics. I really appreciate your opinion and your wisdom in a lot of areas. Also, psychology is something that I have always been interested in.
Another two songs I think it might be really interesting to react to are 'Freak' and '24' !! both my favs off the honeymoon album, and idk why but some lyrics in freak paired with the MV give off majorrrr cult vibes and I'm here for the dark meaning + beautiful instrumentals.
Love you so much Mere!🩶
I love the bangs they’re very lana during honeymoon!
I really love this hair on you a lot/ sending u nothing but love!
React to summertime sadness it’s an iconic Lana song
Can you do Carmen please 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤍
you're a genius. i love your reactions
I’m dying to hear your reaction on “13 Beaches” by her album Lust For Life, pleeeeeease
You should listen to the grants
You should definitely do the last time by Taylor :)
I love your content so so much and I’ve subscribed btww! I have your post notifications onn!
Also I’m loving the bangs! You should keep them! You’re rocking themmm so so much ! Proud of youu!
“The Last Time” by Taylor and Gary Lightbody (who is actually the lead singer of Snow Patrol, which you probably already knew 😊, but I love little tidbits like that, and it’s cool to pass them on, just in case…) is such a great song! So underrated!
I’ve enjoyed listening to this song on my Lana deep dive but this really makes me pay attention. Out loud by myself I said “No…”, when he had her lifeless in his arms. I almost feel this video is to say, there is a chance for so much in this life and don’t waste it by doing the “cool” thing or being who others want you to be; if you do, before you know it, you could’ve wasted your life. Lana looks beautiful and royal. I, too, see a parallel to the heavens and spirits within us. I did not know this video existed! I’ll watch her videos as you put them out because I want to see them all! Your bangs are lovely. Your heart is lovely. Have a wonderful day, Mere!
mother you’re glowinggg ✨
You need to react to God Bless America - And All the Beautiful Women in It.
Greetings from Brazil🇧🇷❤️
In my most humble opinion the bangs make you look even more beautiful.
You are an extremely attractive woman.
I love your reactions, especially Lana's. She is my Favorite female artist and your insights are quite enjoyable and sometimes quite enlightening.
Keep the New look, everyone needs a little change and sometimes change that makes one question the decision.
Again one man's unsolicited option. 😊
Have you ever listened to Elysian fields, they have very haunting vocals not so literal lyrics but "cities will fall" has very interesting lyrics.
The castle is in Fontainebleau, really close to Paris, some French royalty lived there. Been there, it’s such a delightful place
De todos os videoclipes dela, esse é o que acho mais bem produzido e impactante.
Seus vídeos são ótimos 🇧🇷💕
Love these videos. Would you react to Thunder？
Makeup and hair i love
Well well so much to say about this song and it’s meaning, it could be about a dying relationship, it could be about literally dying or both of them one leading to the other ( sorry i’m french my english is so bad). Loved your interpretation and most of all, you looked fabulous, you’re always pretty but the hair, the eyes, you killed it ! Wish u the best
Greatest debut from all time.
Thank you I really enjoyed this I recommend pretty when I cry or FREAK or fucked my way up to the top

Blue jeans music video please😭🙏
I’m just watching all of your videos right now bc I loved them sm!! You should definitely check Waiting room by Phoebe Bridges, Thumbs by lucy dacus and Letter to an old poet by boygenius❤️
I said it once and I’ll say it again this song alone was such a pivotal pop culture moment
The way that I interpret it is that she would put herself in these wreckless situations where she can very well die and she does it so that she can experience this love that she seeks, but somewhere in the back of her mind she is perfectly aware that this is not the love she is seeking, and she just lets the back of her mind sit there in its throne watching her be wreckless just to see if some unexpected outcome reveals itself, before their relationship dies
React to "get free", please!! I Love your analysis ❤ Watching from Braziiil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I recently listened to Lana and got recommend Born To Die and I love it. It was my favourite song (out of the 8 I've heard)
the castle is in France !

Heyyy I love your channel

YAAAAAAAAY!!! Now Blue Jeans!!!
This is just what I needed ❤ Please check out "Looking for America" by Lana, I know it's not the most popular wish but I'm sure there's sooooo much for you to say about it
Heey Mere!! Please do more Ethel Cain debut album songs reactions!! There are very deep lyrics there, and I can’t wait to hear your opinions and thoughts about it. I beg you! Love ♥
The whole scene might be set up with angel Lana narrating a story about how she lost her life by being in a toxic, abusive, and careless relationship. The relationship that was purely based on hook ups and adultery, which left her alone even when she was with someone tells about the moments of realisation she had in between, but in search of love (which she never got as a child, so as she says "I was confused as a little child, tryanna take what I would get, scared that I wouldn't find--as in love which she never received and desperately wanted)
The last signifies her entry in the heaven in the white gown and as she opened the door to the heaven, she reach to her higher powers.
Every time I listen to this song I have to go and listen to Lou Reed's "Walk On The Wild Side" 😭
can you do a video on the higher self thing?
Please react to Blue jeans!! I love your analysis
Omg I love your reactions so much please can you react to “First Love/Late Spring” by Mitski ❤❤
Loved every second of it. You should check out black Friday by tom Odell
She’s dressed as high priestess in tarot
I clicked so fast-
Compare the visual to the Burney Relief.
I love Lana Del Rey! Thanks for this reaction and analysis!
Btw, if you do more Hozier reactions, I would be interested to hear your thoughts on Sedated 👀
THAT INTRO IS THE MOST ICONIC THING OF THE INDUSTRY.

You should definitely listen to more mitski her song writing is insane. Try my love mine all mine it’s from her new album and it’s been very popular recently and i think you’d enjoy it
