when lana started creating the record, the label HATED it. they forced her to go to an adele produce to try and salvage it. she played it for him and he loved it. he said he wouldn’t change anything and all of a sudden the label loved it
What I don’t understand is why they didn’t like it in the first place. It’s easily marketable and super appealing, and can be enjoyed whether you relate to it or not
Fun fact: Pretty When You Cry was fully freestyled and recorded in one take! Also 90% of this album's vocals were recorded at once while the band were laying down the instrumentals. Absolutely incredible
Fun fact lana was supposed to sing brooklyn baby with Lou Reed and the morning they were supposed to record the track she took the plane and when she landed Lou Reed was dead which is so sad and this impacted her a lot. During the last chorus u can hear a male voice singing with her and it is Barrie james O'Neil her ex boyfriend and singer of the band Cassidy
I think West Coast is one of her best songs out of her whole discography, it just transports me every time I listen to it. So unique and full of interesting sounds and layers, it's so easy to get lost in
I get what youre saying. I once fully emerged in the song while standing in front of the ocean, watching and hearing the waves crashing into the rocks. I was transported to a world where i was the only one. P/s: its in my high playlist btw 😂
@@frankp6940 As someone who's never gotten high before, I've always felt that West Coast would be _amazing_ to listen to while high lol. It's definitely on my list if I ever take an edible or something
I always think of LA, but that's probably bc I live here. You can for sure tell which songs are meant to be in NY and which are talking about LA. Lana always said that LA was her home city away from home.
@@CrownedYeti fellow angeleno here! yeah this album def screams LA/NY. for the LA tracks tho you had to have grown up here, or visit here a lot to really understand the nuances of it
Dan is an amazing musician and perhaps even better producer and 2013/14 he was just unstoppable. A lot people were not really into Turn Blue, but I absolutely love this record from the first listen🎉
the songs, cruel world and pretty when you cry were made in one take with just lana and her guitarist. she made up the lyrics as she sang that’s exactly what we heard.
@@islessaywell452 its fine but nothing special, just like lust for life. theyre not rly wprth checking out aside a couple of songs. blue banisters was complete shit tho
This is by far her most underrated album. You guys need to listen to the deluxe version with “Black Beauty,” “Guns and Roses,” and “Florida Kilos.” “Florida Kilos” in particular is one of her best yet most overlooked songs.
The description of the setting of Brooklyn Baby is spot on. Summertime at night, hot and sticky, a dark apartment, wine and cigarettes, maybe throw in a jazz club. Love it!
I think i’m the only person who imagines a winter (but sunny) day when I listen to Brooklyn Baby, i imagine going on a walk and there’s snow everywhere but the sky is clear and blue, i think it’s because I listened to Brooklyn Baby a lot when i lived in Norway when i was 12 😅
Honeymoon is her true masterpiece, in my opinion. It's so cinematic, enthralling, and cohesive that it hardly feels like an album, more like a frighteningly spectacular, important piece of art. I think you guys would love it.
I saw Lana live at PNE in Vancouver in May 2014 just before this album came out. It was pouring rain out and my sister and I found this tree to sit under, protecting us from the rain. It was magical and the last concert I went to with my sister before she passed. Lana has always been and always will be so special to me.❤
After over 10 years of listening to this incredible woman and the masterpieces she releases, I saw her perform live last week. What an incredible show and an incredible performer. This video couldn’t have come at a better time. One of the best albums I’ve ever heard.
I just saw her a few days ago and it was the best night of my life!! We were all singing and screaming the lyrics together and everyone got along so well.
The way he appreciates all the small details in the background made me happy. This is the reason I love Lana’s music. The details of her music esp. her backing vocals and instrumentals are phenomenal! She will also put you in a situation you’ve never been and experience the pain and see through her perspective of love and abusive relationship. Thanks for this reaction video!
Just saw Lana live and can't believe she played two songs from this gem of an album, super nostalgic. I could watch you and your dad vibe to her all day
West coast is one of the most perfect songs I’ve ever heard. Vibe, production, lyrics/story telling, vocals, the switch up of the tempos throughout. I could go on and on. Lana is truly her own unique identity in an ocean full of carbon copy artists.
I'd love to see you guys do "Lust for Life"! That album gets looked over a lot but I think it's actually a really important, pivotal moment in her discography. You can see a lot of things change for her in that album and you can tell she's working out a lot of kinks both emotionally and sonically, gearing herself up to create Norman Rockwell. She kind of flips the script, tackling the idea of California once again but with optimism (can you imagine... Lana?!) I remember her saying that it was an album for her fans, which makes total sense. The album cover of her smiling also feels of something to note, because until then she had a very consistent run of being a "sad girl". There's also countless interesting features, you got The Weekend, ASAP Rocky, Stevie Nicks, Sean Lennon, etc. Lot's to explore here! Keep up the good work in the meantime.
Wow...Wow...Wow! I've never heard of Lana Del Rey until watching this video after it popped up. When I saw the Ultraviolence, I thought it literally was an artist doing their version of Death Angels song The Ultraviolence. I was not expecting Lana to catch and hold my musical and musicians soul. I am a lover of multiple genres of music, but my fave genre is metal and progressive metal, her arrangements and vocal layering is incredible. The layers of sound with the instruments and her voice reminds me of how Devin Townsend layers his compositions with a "wall of sound" and make his music very ambient and ethereal. Lana is quite the gem that I discovered through you guys!!! Thanks a heap.
No matter how many times I have listened to ultraviolence it ALWAYS hits me really hard. I cry every single time. The play on "I can hear (police) sirens sirens violins violins" instead of 'violence' n how her mind changes the police sirens sound to violins to protect herself, and the "we can go back to the start when I don't know who you are" wish I had never even known you and the "I could have died right there in his arms b/ he was right beside me"- he could have literally killed me right there; "Jim taught me that loving him was never enough"- learning that no matter how much I loved it was never enough for you. ahhh I can go on n on, it always gets to me.
What a special way to explain what she intended with this song. It's a hard one but so beautiful, people who have the ability to turn pain into art will always get my praise.
I really apreciate when straight men reacts to Lana without prejudgments, with open ears and mind, and certanly aknowledging the size of artist that this woman is..I guess that we all gay ppl have a special sensibility and can get her inmediatly, but is really hard to make a straight guy to listen to her without consider her "boring" or just sexy.
All neurodivergent people can resonate with Lana’s music as they have an innate ability to empathize with others, based on how others have judged them their entire lives, they know first hand how terrible that is and don’t do it to others. When you reject seeing her a sex symbol and social expectations about men liking female artists as effeminate, you feel her beautiful soul through her art. You integrate her life experience into your own. When we feel genuine empathy, we treat others like human beings. You don’t have to be on LGBTQ spectrum to be neurodivergent, you can be on the autism spectrum, have ADHD or other divergent personality styles or can become divergent yourself based on life experience by rejecting neurotypical conformity.
As a straight man, I am a huge Lana fan. Loved her music since I first saw the video for National Anthem. I do think she’s sexy and there’s no reason that should be considered a negative but at the core, she is a true artist and I do appreciate her artistry. She is a great writer and her vocals, I love cause she has a distinct voice and doesn’t sound like other singers. I am a Lana stan and damn proud to be one cause in this era, she’s a true authentic artist and there’s not enough of it
This album means the world to me. My first girlfriend used to lose herself in Lana's music, and we were in a long-distance relationship. Whenever we used to meet up it was our soundtrack, and we used to just indulge in the moment. Such emotional nostalgia, and reminds me of what life is worth living for.
I can relate to you. It was the soundtrack of my life when I turned 30, and met the love of my life. It was a hot sexy steamy summer. We were sizzling like snails honey 🔥 still are 8 years later❤
Back in 2015 I listened to this album while tripping on 4 tabs of lsd. It was absolutely the most magical experience of my life. It sounded like she was 5 feet away from me singing directly to me
Holy shit I am THRILLED Please please do honeymoon as well! Ultraviolence, honeymoon & ocean Blvd are my fav albums of all time. With NFR coming in right behind them.
Mine too!! For me, I rank them as: 1. Honeymoon 2. DYKTATUOB 3. Ultraviolence But honestly, all 3 could easily tie first place with how good they are. Honeymoon just has such a special place in my heart though!
I’ll never forget listening to this album for the first time when I was like 12 or 13. I’m 21 now and looking back it was such a crazy thing to be listening to at such a young age. Forever my favorite tho
This album was one of the first I bought on CD back in 2013 when I was 13. Nothing hit as hard as this and it makes me so happy to see you and your dad bonding over it and appreciating the art behind this album. Every video you guys do is amazing, but the Lana videos are, undoubtedly, my favorite. Thanks for everything you guys do and keep going! I can’t wait to watch you guys listen to more!
"The Other Woman" (not to be confused with "Other Woman") is a song written by Jessie Mae Robinson which was originally recorded by Sarah Vaughan, but it was popularized by Nina Simone and covered by Lana Del Rey. -Lanapedia
born to die....nothing will compare to the nostalgia this album give me. it doesn't have the most vast sound but each song is sonically stunning with such unique imagery you can also see the personification of the lyrics in from of u
Fun fact, Old money 37:30 is a love letter to her parents which she was estranged with at the time. The lyrics are self-explanatory but you can also see it in the credits of the song, it's one of the few songs she signed Elisabeth Grant (her real name) (the others are Video Games, Summertime sadness and West Coast)
I have waited for this moment, and as usual, not disappointed. You guys always say the most smart, sensitive things and curious interpretations, i adore. This album is so strong and beautiful.
So happy he loved west coast. The only positives of eventually getting old and loosing your memory is one day I’ll be so demented I can listen to this album for the first time again
It's almost impossible to rank them, but if I had to I would go 1. Ultraviolence 2. NFR 3. Ocean Blvd. All 3 are great, but I love the soft rock, jazz, psychedelic rock, and surf noir elements of Ultraviolence. I just love the musical composition of it. Wish Lana would go back to it, but her music is definitely driven by lyrics now. Ultraviolence also has great replay value, but so does NFR. Ocean Blvd is more focused on the lyrics and personal, but it's not a FULL replay album besides the last few songs).
Please do Honeymoon next !! It's the follow-up to UV, and it's an underrated masterpiece. The whole album is so cinematic, especially if you liked the james bond type sound. There is a lot of classical and jazzy elements in it, and the production is spectacular, and the vocals too, it's Lana at her best imo.
This is a her best of the best album she ever delivered. it's not a only album, it's a life changing album, it's a masterpiece, it's a cure of illness and depression.
Lana is SO AMAZING live. I saw her while she was touring during this album's cycle, and she was phenomenal. I highly encourage ya'll to see her when you can!!
I’ll never forget when West Coast came out and the album followed, I was living in Brooklyn and it blew my mind. The videos for West Coast and Shades of Cool play into each other too, personally my favourite era of Lana although I agree her songwriting has gotten even better. I’d love her to do another album with Dan from the Black Keys.
I love the way the dad talks about sounds and instruments. It opens your brain the listen for different things making the music even more compelling to hear
This is my all time favorite album. I found this album in the middle of the hardest year of my life and it’s very close to my heart. Her voice, the production, the instrumentals, everything about it is beautiful and it is her best album, hands down (in my opinion). It’s perfect in every way
Fun fact! Brooklyn Baby was written for and and intended to be performed with Lou Reed. Sadly Lana got the call that Lou passed just days before they were due to record together
Ultraviolence is so different from all of Lana's other albums. It's powerful, melancholic, sexy, and dreamy to the point it's transcendent. Absolutely my favorite album to this day.
That’s why i got tattoed ultraviolence and cruel world. This album is so crazy, it makes me scream with joy, sadness, madness. Forever my favorite since it came out back jn 2014
i'm ngl i think ultraviolence is my favourite album (though i love pretty much every other album i'm a big lana fan) because it sounds so visceral and raw to me. it might be because it's (like you put it perfectly) a somewhat fictional character, but the darkness and power and drama of the exaggerated narrative creates such intense, overwhelming emotions, the epitome of the word "consuming" if that makes sense - beautiful in an almost ugly way. in any case, love the album and love both of your reactions
I remember discovering both The Black Keys & Lana Del Rey in 2012 and never could I have imagined that this project would be the perfect mixture of both their sounds. To this day this will be the Lana project that I always come back to!
You need to do the deluxe version, black beauty is beautiful, florida kilos is awesome think there might be a few others missed off. But! I hope you do all her albums. Honeymoon is just pure beauty 🥰 your dad will love honeymoon
I’ve lived with this album for many years now. Some of the vocal layering and tiny hints of instrumentation throughout are completely ingrained into my brain. Lol. It is very personal to me; and my most absolute favorite album ever.
This album has my heart, truly.. Probably my favorite Lana album (yes, more than NFR). Shades of Cool gives me goosebumps, I connect with that album so much.
Need to listen to Born to Die, put her on the map and I still think it's my favourite yeah it was poppy but its good. This album was a cool change in sound while staying true to her unique style though. Video Games holds such a nostalgic feel for me, memories of my early 20s.
I was a heroin, fent and crack addict escorting out of hotels And motels. In 2016 I met a client who was in his late 50's and became my sugar daddy. I stopped "working", he gave me money and got me an apartment and furnished it for me. Then his wife found out and he moved in. We started dating bc although he was so much older than me I saw how much he cared about me. Aside from the money he gave and drugs he paid for there was way more to him and he learned there was more to me too. We've been together ever since (7 years) and have a beautiful 3.5 year old son and I have 4 years sober! I always felt like Lana wrote songs just for me and my life. I can't get enough. Pls introduce your dad to her early music too!
i GASPED when i saw this im so glad you did this album, one of my favorites of all time!! its stunning and id love to see you explore more of her discography, like blue banisters or born to die
It’s interesting for your dad to go backward through her discography, cause when he reached The Other Woman he felt it wasn’t her style but Born To Die album kind of introduced her as this style. I hope you cover each album, I wish I could experience them for the first time again 😭☺️
1. Ocean blvd. Lana’s most personal and mature record to date. I could just lay there and melt listening to it. Heavenly. Masterpiece imo. 2. NFR! Let’s just say that when this record was released, I listened front to back in a loop for a like a year. It marked an artistic evolution for Lana into a much richer, more experimental sound. This and Ocean Blvd. interchange. 3. Ultraviolence This was my favorite record of hers until NFR. West Coast is still a top 2 song, and it’s not number 2. The record just doesn’t stand up to the god tier lyrics on Ocean and NFR.
you and ur dad’s relationship is beautiful btw!! i am super close to my dad and love him so much, but i wish we could listen to music together the way y’all do!! awesome.
Lol, Lana said that was the song that got her in touch with the producers of Spectre, which led to her writing a song for them and they rejected it, she just kept it for herself and put the record on Honeymoon. Best decision, it really flows with honeymoon and they didn't deserve lana anyway, they ended up choosing Sam.
My Lana Album order(she takes me to different places) 1. Ultraviolence I love the dark sound, makes me feel exactly how you described. Horny and high. I love the story she's portraying. Fav tracks- old money, cruel world 2. NFR The the vocals, the writing and production. Such a feel good, chill, beachy album. Favs- mariners apt complex, NFR 3. Honeymoon I feel like I'm in a movie. Every song is so cinematic. The word I think of is GLAMOUR. Favs- art deco, Salvatore, the blackest day 4. Born to die Iconic. The reason I'm such a fan to this day. The production, her stories. She made me feel sexy for the first time with blue jeans. (I was 12) hahah. Favs- radio, off to the races, national anthem 5. Paradise Same thing with btd, but I prefer the tracks on btd more. Favs- American, bel air 6. Lust for life Some tracks I really like then some I don't really care for. I like the hip hop sounds she has going on but it's not my style. Favs- in my feelings, cherry 7. Ocean Blvd I love how personal she is in the album but the sound is not so much me. As someone her has her poetry book I appreciate this album, but I don't consider it my favorites.(doesn't take me anywhere) Favs- the grants, ocean Blvd, Paris Texas 8. Chemtrails Dance until we die is one of my favorite Lana songs. I like a couple of tracks but I feel as if she went a bit more "folk" with her sound and it didn't stick with me as much as her highly produced music does. Favs- chemtrails, wild at heart, dance until we die 9. Blue banisters I just never grew on me, I think it's because Covid made me depressed and so was she. Favs- if you lie down with me, black bathing suit, blue banisters, Arcadia

From a guitar perspective, this is probably Lana’s most creative album. Of course it would be being produced by Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys
Dan is an amazing musician and perhaps even better producer and 2013/14 he was just unstoppable. A lot people were not really into Turn Blue, but I absolutely love this record from the first listen🎉
all thanks to Blake, her amazing guitarist
Wow I actually didn’t know that, I love that and it checks right out.
i'd say drums too, especially since she doesn't use them creatively at all in the last 3 albums
I had no clue Dan was a part of this, must be why this is my fav album of hers!!!
This album made me the woman I am today

Even more impressive. I seriously can’t believe how much people shit on this album. It’s one of her masterpieces.

Pretty when you cry is freestyled .
West coast has one of the best chorus transitions in music history, I've been listening to it for over 10 years and it never gets old.

The description of the setting of Brooklyn Baby is spot on. Summertime at night, hot and sticky, a dark apartment, wine and cigarettes, maybe throw in a jazz club. Love it!
I think i’m the only person who imagines a winter (but sunny) day when I listen to Brooklyn Baby, i imagine going on a walk and there’s snow everywhere but the sky is clear and blue, i think it’s because I listened to Brooklyn Baby a lot when i lived in Norway when i was 12 😅
brooklyn baby feels like a jazz club in new york with fog from the cigarette
I agree but for me brooklyn baby also feels like a fall afternoon
Honeymoon is her true masterpiece, in my opinion. It's so cinematic, enthralling, and cohesive that it hardly feels like an album, more like a frighteningly spectacular, important piece of art. I think you guys would love it.
That album is like Tim Burton meets Frank Sinatra. It’s my fav of all time.

Second this SO HARD! I need them to react.
Exactly, that what I feel too. Its so poetic its cinematic, and has this glamorous old Hollywood feel.
Thisssssss
Lana used to open with Cruel World on tour, it was unreal. The most insane opening song. This is her best album by far.
one of the best shows ive ever been to
I bet that sounds amazing in concert 🙏🙏
I can only imagine what that should had been😢
I saw her twice in 2 weeks in 2017, both times she opened with Cruel World.. absolutely unreal
NFR, Ocean Blvd and UV is what makes her such a one of a kind artist for me.
I saw Lana live at PNE in Vancouver in May 2014 just before this album came out. It was pouring rain out and my sister and I found this tree to sit under, protecting us from the rain. It was magical and the last concert I went to with my sister before she passed. Lana has always been and always will be so special to me.❤
After over 10 years of listening to this incredible woman and the masterpieces she releases, I saw her perform live last week. What an incredible show and an incredible performer. This video couldn’t have come at a better time. One of the best albums I’ve ever heard.
Can't wait to see her in her (hopefully) upcoming tour for the first time.
I just saw her a few days ago and it was the best night of my life!! We were all singing and screaming the lyrics together and everyone got along so well.
manifesting this for myself ✨✨✨
The way he appreciates all the small details in the background made me happy. This is the reason I love Lana’s music. The details of her music esp. her backing vocals and instrumentals are phenomenal! She will also put you in a situation you’ve never been and experience the pain and see through her perspective of love and abusive relationship. Thanks for this reaction video!
This album in particular needs more attention!
The way Lana would date your dad.

exactly what i was thinking😭
Heck, can you blame her?

I'd love to see you guys do "Lust for Life"! That album gets looked over a lot but I think it's actually a really important, pivotal moment in her discography. You can see a lot of things change for her in that album and you can tell she's working out a lot of kinks both emotionally and sonically, gearing herself up to create Norman Rockwell. She kind of flips the script, tackling the idea of California once again but with optimism (can you imagine... Lana?!) I remember her saying that it was an album for her fans, which makes total sense. The album cover of her smiling also feels of something to note, because until then she had a very consistent run of being a "sad girl". There's also countless interesting features, you got The Weekend, ASAP Rocky, Stevie Nicks, Sean Lennon, etc. Lot's to explore here! Keep up the good work in the meantime.

Lust for life is so underrated
it's definitely the older sister of NFR
Tomorrow Never Came, BPBP, WTWWAWWKD are some of my favourite songs
thank you for this comment lust for life is amazing
Wow...Wow...Wow! I've never heard of Lana Del Rey until watching this video after it popped up. When I saw the Ultraviolence, I thought it literally was an artist doing their version of Death Angels song The Ultraviolence. I was not expecting Lana to catch and hold my musical and musicians soul. I am a lover of multiple genres of music, but my fave genre is metal and progressive metal, her arrangements and vocal layering is incredible. The layers of sound with the instruments and her voice reminds me of how Devin Townsend layers his compositions with a "wall of sound" and make his music very ambient and ethereal. Lana is quite the gem that I discovered through you guys!!! Thanks a heap.
If you really want to blow your dads mind, show him the shades of cool music video
He would LOVE it
lmaoo
he need to react to it
Lol this
"mind"
This video has exploded my heart. This album always hits so hard every time, and it was so fun watching you guys absolutely love it too.
when a man listens to lana del rey without intendin to draw attention, u should respect him
how about he just listens to it and enjoys it and we don't have to do anything about it?
Fr like what 💀
Exacto @@TheSweeeet1234
No matter how many times I have listened to ultraviolence it ALWAYS hits me really hard. I cry every single time. The play on "I can hear (police) sirens sirens violins violins" instead of 'violence' n how her mind changes the police sirens sound to violins to protect herself, and the "we can go back to the start when I don't know who you are" wish I had never even known you and the "I could have died right there in his arms b/ he was right beside me"- he could have literally killed me right there; "Jim taught me that loving him was never enough"- learning that no matter how much I loved it was never enough for you. ahhh I can go on n on, it always gets to me.
What a special way to explain what she intended with this song. It's a hard one but so beautiful, people who have the ability to turn pain into art will always get my praise.
Her very best album! Still gives me chills. Can't understate the effect Dan Auerbach brought to her sound.
her best album. where the instrumentals are immaculate, her vocals are at peak, lyricism and world building is solid, concept is strong!
I really apreciate when straight men reacts to Lana without prejudgments, with open ears and mind, and certanly aknowledging the size of artist that this woman is..I guess that we all gay ppl have a special sensibility and can get her inmediatly, but is really hard to make a straight guy to listen to her without consider her "boring" or just sexy.
Liar.
All neurodivergent people can resonate with Lana’s music as they have an innate ability to empathize with others, based on how others have judged them their entire lives, they know first hand how terrible that is and don’t do it to others. When you reject seeing her a sex symbol and social expectations about men liking female artists as effeminate, you feel her beautiful soul through her art. You integrate her life experience into your own.
When we feel genuine empathy, we treat others like human beings.
You don’t have to be on LGBTQ spectrum to be neurodivergent, you can be on the autism spectrum, have ADHD or other divergent personality styles or can become divergent yourself based on life experience by rejecting neurotypical conformity.
Not that deep lil bro
As a straight man, I am a huge Lana fan. Loved her music since I first saw the video for National Anthem. I do think she’s sexy and there’s no reason that should be considered a negative but at the core, she is a true artist and I do appreciate her artistry. She is a great writer and her vocals, I love cause she has a distinct voice and doesn’t sound like other singers. I am a Lana stan and damn proud to be one cause in this era, she’s a true authentic artist and there’s not enough of it
dad is always looking scrumptious
This album means the world to me. My first girlfriend used to lose herself in Lana's music, and we were in a long-distance relationship. Whenever we used to meet up it was our soundtrack, and we used to just indulge in the moment. Such emotional nostalgia, and reminds me of what life is worth living for.
tryna be that for himm 😻
I can relate to you. It was the soundtrack of my life when I turned 30, and met the love of my life. It was a hot sexy steamy summer. We were sizzling like snails honey 🔥 still are 8 years later❤
Back in 2015 I listened to this album while tripping on 4 tabs of lsd. It was absolutely the most magical experience of my life. It sounded like she was 5 feet away from me singing directly to me
Holy shit I am THRILLED
Please please do honeymoon as well!
Ultraviolence, honeymoon & ocean Blvd are my fav albums of all time.
With NFR coming in right behind them.
Mine too!! For me, I rank them as:
1. Honeymoon
2. DYKTATUOB
3. Ultraviolence
But honestly, all 3 could easily tie first place with how good they are. Honeymoon just has such a special place in my heart though!
I realy love honeymoon, it's criminally underrated.
@@tshypooooolfl , uv, bb for me :)
@@tshypooooomine is
1. NFR
2. Ultraviolence
3. Honeymoon
4. Tunnel under ocean Boulevard
:)
she is AMAZING live. one of the best concerts i’ve ever been to
I’ll never forget listening to this album for the first time when I was like 12 or 13. I’m 21 now and looking back it was such a crazy thing to be listening to at such a young age. Forever my favorite tho
same bought it when I was 14 (now 23) and I was blown away when I heard it for the first time. She’ll always be in my heart
omg me too!! :’)) im planning my wedding and will be playing lana. it’s like we grew together!
@@kimdracvla wait what songs are you having in wedding, im so curious!
@@lexplayssoccer i’m thinking of either bel air or video games but i’m leaning more towards bel air! :)
@@vintressI was 14 as well when I got this album! It literally shaped me to who I am today.
Cruel World is my absolute favorite and your Dad describing it in the way he did was so spot on 😂😂
This album was one of the first I bought on CD back in 2013 when I was 13. Nothing hit as hard as this and it makes me so happy to see you and your dad bonding over it and appreciating the art behind this album. Every video you guys do is amazing, but the Lana videos are, undoubtedly, my favorite. Thanks for everything you guys do and keep going! I can’t wait to watch you guys listen to more!
"The Other Woman" (not to be confused with "Other Woman") is a song written by Jessie Mae Robinson which was originally recorded by Sarah Vaughan, but it was popularized by Nina Simone and covered by Lana Del Rey.
-Lanapedia
one of my favorite covers by Lana ❤
born to die....nothing will compare to the nostalgia this album give me. it doesn't have the most vast sound but each song is sonically stunning with such unique imagery you can also see the personification of the lyrics in from of u
i knew your father was goin to love this album. is crazy how you can know the musical tastes of strangers in internet.
Fun fact, Old money 37:30 is a love letter to her parents which she was estranged with at the time. The lyrics are self-explanatory but you can also see it in the credits of the song, it's one of the few songs she signed Elisabeth Grant (her real name) (the others are Video Games, Summertime sadness and West Coast)
I have waited for this moment, and as usual, not disappointed. You guys always say the most smart, sensitive things and curious interpretations, i adore. This album is so strong and beautiful.
So happy he loved west coast. The only positives of eventually getting old and loosing your memory is one day I’ll be so demented I can listen to this album for the first time again
It's almost impossible to rank them, but if I had to I would go 1. Ultraviolence 2. NFR 3. Ocean Blvd. All 3 are great, but I love the soft rock, jazz, psychedelic rock, and surf noir elements of Ultraviolence. I just love the musical composition of it. Wish Lana would go back to it, but her music is definitely driven by lyrics now. Ultraviolence also has great replay value, but so does NFR. Ocean Blvd is more focused on the lyrics and personal, but it's not a FULL replay album besides the last few songs).
Ocen has the most replay, along ultra to me. Not all songs, but ocean, paris, the ligth are so replayable
Ocean is the most replayed one lol Ultraviolence still #1 for me but ocean superpassed NFR for me
Please do Honeymoon next !! It's the follow-up to UV, and it's an underrated masterpiece. The whole album is so cinematic, especially if you liked the james bond type sound. There is a lot of classical and jazzy elements in it, and the production is spectacular, and the vocals too, it's Lana at her best imo.
i’ve never clicked so fast in my life
Same
Literally same
SAME PAHAHAHAHA
Fr
ME TOO HAHWHW
This is a her best of the best album she ever delivered. it's not a only album, it's a life changing album, it's a masterpiece, it's a cure of illness and depression.
Lana is SO AMAZING live. I saw her while she was touring during this album's cycle, and she was phenomenal. I highly encourage ya'll to see her when you can!!
I’ll never forget when West Coast came out and the album followed, I was living in Brooklyn and it blew my mind. The videos for West Coast and Shades of Cool play into each other too, personally my favourite era of Lana although I agree her songwriting has gotten even better. I’d love her to do another album with Dan from the Black Keys.
this is THE best lana album. heard it for the first time in 5th grade and I’m now 20 and it’s still my favorite lana album.
SAME like I shouldn’t have listened to it at that age but its now a really important part of my personality
I love the way the dad talks about sounds and instruments. It opens your brain the listen for different things making the music even more compelling to hear
How your dad started describing how Lana’s music sounds at 28:24 was so accurate thats literally her music video for ride
YOURE DAD IS SO HANDSOME HE DEF HAS A CHANCE W LANA
the ultra violence tour was amazing! probs my fav lana era to experience and she IS AMAZING LIVE
This is my all time favorite album. I found this album in the middle of the hardest year of my life and it’s very close to my heart. Her voice, the production, the instrumentals, everything about it is beautiful and it is her best album, hands down (in my opinion). It’s perfect in every way
the other woman is actually a cover from the original song played by Nina Simone, released in 1959
Fun fact! Brooklyn Baby was written for and and intended to be performed with Lou Reed. Sadly Lana got the call that Lou passed just days before they were due to record together
I feel like Black Beauty should have been on the base album, it's SO GOOD! Still, this reaction was amazing
Exactly omg
me too!!
My favourite album by Lana. So glad you guys did this! 🥹
Wow! The album that I heard in 2014 that changed me completely. Endless love to Lana 🤍
Ultraviolence is so different from all of Lana's other albums. It's powerful, melancholic, sexy, and dreamy to the point it's transcendent. Absolutely my favorite album to this day.
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG OH MY GOD 😭💞
i rlly feel like i’m hanging out w y’all listening to my fav albums, talking abt them passionately. so beautiful and one of my fav channels
That’s why i got tattoed ultraviolence and cruel world. This album is so crazy, it makes me scream with joy, sadness, madness. Forever my favorite since it came out back jn 2014
i'm ngl i think ultraviolence is my favourite album (though i love pretty much every other album i'm a big lana fan) because it sounds so visceral and raw to me. it might be because it's (like you put it perfectly) a somewhat fictional character, but the darkness and power and drama of the exaggerated narrative creates such intense, overwhelming emotions, the epitome of the word "consuming" if that makes sense - beautiful in an almost ugly way. in any case, love the album and love both of your reactions
I remember discovering both The Black Keys & Lana Del Rey in 2012 and never could I have imagined that this project would be the perfect mixture of both their sounds. To this day this will be the Lana project that I always come back to!
Highly recommend Ethel Cain's album "Preacher's Daughter", it's written in such a cool way and Ethel is insanely talented!!
YES
I would beg on my hands and knees for this reaction haha
You need to do the deluxe version, black beauty is beautiful, florida kilos is awesome think there might be a few others missed off. But! I hope you do all her albums. Honeymoon is just pure beauty 🥰 your dad will love honeymoon
as SOON as i saw this on my feed all my anxiety went away. pls do more lana 🥺 love y’all
I’ve lived with this album for many years now. Some of the vocal layering and tiny hints of instrumentation throughout are completely ingrained into my brain. Lol. It is very personal to me; and my most absolute favorite album ever.
This album has my heart, truly.. Probably my favorite Lana album (yes, more than NFR). Shades of Cool gives me goosebumps, I connect with that album so much.
I saw Lana back in like 2014ish and Shades of Cool was an absolutely magical song live✨✨✨ the drums, guitar, and her ethereal voice was chefs kiss 💋
Her live is amazing! Went to see her at the house of blues in 2017 and it was soooooooooo good!
Need to listen to Born to Die, put her on the map and I still think it's my favourite yeah it was poppy but its good. This album was a cool change in sound while staying true to her unique style though. Video Games holds such a nostalgic feel for me, memories of my early 20s.
best lana del rey album

I was a heroin, fent and crack addict escorting out of hotels And motels. In 2016 I met a client who was in his late 50's and became my sugar daddy. I stopped "working", he gave me money and got me an apartment and furnished it for me. Then his wife found out and he moved in. We started dating bc although he was so much older than me I saw how much he cared about me. Aside from the money he gave and drugs he paid for there was way more to him and he learned there was more to me too. We've been together ever since (7 years) and have a beautiful 3.5 year old son and I have 4 years sober! I always felt like Lana wrote songs just for me and my life. I can't get enough. Pls introduce your dad to her early music too!
Omg u truly lived the Lana experience, u very much reminds me of ride💕💕
NO WAYYY!!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS OMGGGG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
I live for these vids. I grew up listening to music/albums with my dad late at night when everyone else was asleep 🥹❤️
i GASPED when i saw this im so glad you did this album, one of my favorites of all time!! its stunning and id love to see you explore more of her discography, like blue banisters or born to die
for real
what a moment to listen lana’s albuns for the first time. what a feeling! i’m addict to videos like this. this excitement.. i miss that
I would 100% recommend giving Honeymoon a listen together, I think it’s her other best work apart from the ones you’ve reacted to already
It’s interesting for your dad to go backward through her discography, cause when he reached The Other Woman he felt it wasn’t her style but Born To Die album kind of introduced her as this style. I hope you cover each album, I wish I could experience them for the first time again 😭☺️
1. Ocean blvd. Lana’s most personal and mature record to date. I could just lay there and melt listening to it. Heavenly. Masterpiece imo.
2. NFR! Let’s just say that when this record was released, I listened front to back in a loop for a like a year. It marked an artistic evolution for Lana into a much richer, more experimental sound. This and Ocean Blvd. interchange.
3. Ultraviolence This was my favorite record of hers until NFR. West Coast is still a top 2 song, and it’s not number 2. The record just doesn’t stand up to the god tier lyrics on Ocean and NFR.
Fully agreed
I think the production and melodies and production make up for the lyrics.
@@lucasb9285 but the production and melodies are also better in Ocean and NFR. The melodies of both title tracks wash Ultraviolence respectfully.
Honeymoon? Better than ultraviolence
@@pawnblue Respectfully, no. Honeymoon is B-tier.
you and ur dad’s relationship is beautiful btw!! i am super close to my dad and love him so much, but i wish we could listen to music together the way y’all do!! awesome.
Yes! I've always thought shades of cool sounds like a Bond song it really could have been
One of her very best. One of my top 5 by her
Lol, Lana said that was the song that got her in touch with the producers of Spectre, which led to her writing a song for them and they rejected it, she just kept it for herself and put the record on Honeymoon. Best decision, it really flows with honeymoon and they didn't deserve lana anyway, they ended up choosing Sam.
My Lana Album order(she takes me to different places)
1. Ultraviolence
I love the dark sound, makes me feel exactly how you described. Horny and high. I love the story she's portraying.
Fav tracks- old money, cruel world
2. NFR
The the vocals, the writing and production. Such a feel good, chill, beachy album.
Favs- mariners apt complex, NFR
3. Honeymoon
I feel like I'm in a movie. Every song is so cinematic. The word I think of is GLAMOUR.
Favs- art deco, Salvatore, the blackest day
4. Born to die
Iconic. The reason I'm such a fan to this day. The production, her stories. She made me feel sexy for the first time with blue jeans. (I was 12) hahah.
Favs- radio, off to the races, national anthem
5. Paradise
Same thing with btd, but I prefer the tracks on btd more.
Favs- American, bel air
6. Lust for life
Some tracks I really like then some I don't really care for. I like the hip hop sounds she has going on but it's not my style.
Favs- in my feelings, cherry
7. Ocean Blvd
I love how personal she is in the album but the sound is not so much me. As someone her has her poetry book I appreciate this album, but I don't consider it my favorites.(doesn't take me anywhere)
Favs- the grants, ocean Blvd, Paris Texas
8. Chemtrails
Dance until we die is one of my favorite Lana songs. I like a couple of tracks but I feel as if she went a bit more "folk" with her sound and it didn't stick with me as much as her highly produced music does.
Favs- chemtrails, wild at heart, dance until we die
9. Blue banisters
I just never grew on me, I think it's because Covid made me depressed and so was she.
Favs- if you lie down with me, black bathing suit, blue banisters, Arcadia
West coast is a timeless masterpiece
