The monologue is a true masterpiece. The song doesn't make as much sense without it. "I was in a winter of my life and the men I met along the road were my only summer"...Beautiful.
People who were surprised that she married a reserved aligator tour guide from Louisiana who has 3 kids never saw this video,THIS is so Lana 😅 and I'm happy for her. Whenever this song came up on my spotify, I always end up here to watch the video and listen to the full song. The poetry, the message about freedom, being yourself, chasing your dreams. My favourite Lana song ever really ♥️
Saved to liked videos my UA-cam list which I don't delete. So I visit this masterpiece every chance I have....I love this video/song so much it's Euphoric. Happy days 😊
Nothing can ever top this. No song, no artist, not even Lana herself with another track. This song was so epic, so raw, so dreamy that it made a whole generation appreciate life just a tiny bit more and get a glimpse of what true freedom feels like. Every time I come back to this song I realize that I need to do everything it takes to be able to say one day..."I'm fucking crazy,but I'm free" and mean it.
flower of peace finally someone was able to express the same exact way I feel. Not that Lana didn't do it herself in this song, but someone from the other side to explain it perfectly, simple; even.
I think the reason Lana is so loved is because she represents this freedom that we all want but yet this vulnerability of wanting to be loved and making mistakes . I love her because she says everything in one song that I've wanted to say my entire life. This is the song this is the piece of her soul that I fell in love with. A lot of today's music doesn't get a raw as this Edit : (Thank you all so much for the likes, i checked this a year later and it’s in the thousands and I feel so overwhelmed! it feels so great knowing I’m not the only one who’s deeply touched and In love with her music. You all make me feel less alone💕)
If you start listening to “Ride” by Lana Del Rey at exactly 11:58:31 on New Years Eve, you can sing along to "I am alone at midnight" at exactly midnight. Start your New Year honestly.
"I was born to be the other woman. I belonged to no one. I belonged to everyone. Who had nothing who wanted everything" These words hit me in my heart. I have felt this my whole life.
I am sorry for your experience. I'm a man, but I've been in that position my entire life as well, so I empathize. All the best to you and your life, and hope you have all the strength and hopefulness you need to see life as worth living despite the suffering.
Although ppl say her music is depressing, I think they make me want to live more. Like I feel so alive listening to her music and appreciate my existence. Anyone else feel the same?
My daughter just passed away. She loved your music and had a huge poster of you on her wall. This video is Beautiful! It was her message to me. God Bless You!
8 YEARS and I'm still not over this song, I never will. No words can describe the emotions it makes me feel. Maybe because I've always romanticized that "riding free" lifestyle as well, and fantasized about finding my people... people that I would really bond with and go on an open road adventure, having fun, feeling timeless, wild and free, and feeling home.
I’m your people and your mine. We were all meant to be each others maybe not on the exact note as one another but as a whole we could all be the beautiful symphony created specifically for the defining of each individual note and blending us all together into a sound so pure and perfect that even the angels in heaven cry. As a whole we are all perfect as single entities we are but a flute minus the breath. I don’t know if anyone will get my drift but I can only hope that one person needing to hear this will know that I am searching too, searching for my people. Just let go of the restrictions of society and give in to abandon and there we will find each other. Until then my friend....... live fast die young and be free..... xoxo
Cairo Duckett pretty much. But it’s not without purpose. It’s like wanting love so bad but not knowing how to get it so you exchange a part of yourself (body) to supplement the part of yourself (love fulfillment) that you really wish you had.
@@Mommahaiti it stops mattering when the part of yourself you want to exchange (body) has no subjective value to anyone who could fool you into believing you were obtaining the part of yourself (love fulfillment) that you really wish you had. So... around age 35-40?
The day Lana wins a Grammy is the day I take them seriously. Whether you like her music, message, lyric etc or not, you cannot deny she unarguably has one of the most beautiful voices of this generation. So under-appreciated and immensely unique and talented.
You may be right. All be it, some slip through the cracks and question the World around them, but most education systems now are structured to take away rather than give... Born to Die off the Race...
same. I got the "been tryin' hard not to get into trouble but I-, I got a war on my mind" tattooed on my rib. Honestly when I lost the love of my life, I just wanted quick love. It wasn't healthy but it felt good to just be wanted by someone. The healthy relationships I was in were not "him" or like "him" and I wasn't happy. This song just speaks to me and my early 20's. I traveled, camped in the desert, put myself in stupid situations. To me, this song is a reminder of a time that I was able to grow out of. All the lessons I learned. Sometimes when i'm feeling hurt even an episode of extreme manic feelings, I listen to this. I get my cry session over and live my best life.
Rose Gomez As English is not my first language, I have loved this song for years without really noticing its lyrics. I’m not being dramatic as well but when you point out that sentence from the lyrics, two seconds and I cried out
Whenever I have suicidal thoughts I always listen to Lana. She shows me how beautiful life truly is through her music. I’m forever grateful for this angel.
TØP Lannister don’t let your demons eat you. You’re stronger than that. Pain is temporary, life is the longest thing you’ll ever experience. Savour it. Make it last, make it mean something. There is no “end it all”. Ending isn’t beautiful it’s broken, it’s an abyss. Andige gets tough, but through it all, through everything, there is something to look for. Life is beautiful. And painful. And that’s why it’s so great. Don’t let your demons drown you. Learn to swim above them. I promise, nothing will ever be worth ending your life for.
I’ve met Lana after one of her concerts. I cannot describe the energy this woman gives. Her voice is soothing, her words are like velvet. Her smile can light up a whole room. Lana is a singer, a powerful one. She is a poet. Her music is art. There is no one, and I mean no one like her. Not even close. This song, this prologue and epilogue. This is a masterpiece. I just wished people would truly appreciate the greatness that Lana is.
Me too. This is the kind of life I want. I'm tired of not feeling anything and lord knows I'm tired pretending to be the kind, innocent, and goody-two-shoes child. I want to be able to feel these emotions and see these sights. I'd be crazy to throw away my life for this, but just one road trip through the summer might help me.
I remember the first time I saw this video was when I was 15 too (I'm 23 now) and I remember feeling the same way. and I can't explain it, but after seeing this video I changed and I really put it in on this video and Lana and how she is able to turn her sadness into power and her ability to not just accept life as it is, but to make it into something beautiful and is able to feel free in a society that likes to put labels on everyone. 2 years ago I saw Lana sing for the first time in real life and I wept the whole time because Lana and this song is the reason I am able to be the free person I am today. Sorry I know that was a-lot, but I remember when I was 15 and remember feeling as you do, and it is a beautiful feeling. xoxo.
technically, this song is so difficult to sing. despite her having a lower vocal register, she (perfectly) changes pitch from low to high and to do this so smoothly without voice cracks is difficult. Her vocal talents are rlly overlooked.
ITS A CONTRALTO THEY ARE MALES WHO HAVE BEEN CASTRATED WHEN VERY YOUNG , SHE IS A TRANSSEXUAL FULL SEX CHANGE , AND THAT NIS WHAT SHE MEANS , ABOUT A WAR IN HER MIND , ITS A REGRET AND PROBABLY NOT THE FAULT OF DEL RAY BUT THE PARENTS SHOULD BE SHOT FOR DOING SUCH A THING THATS THE TRUTH ITS A MAN YOUR LISTENING TO
A contralto is a type of classical female singing voice whose vocal range is the lowest female voice type. The contralto’s vocal range is fairly rare; similar to, but different from the alto, and almost identical to that of a countertenor. The contralto voice type is generally divided into the coloratura, lyric, and dramatic contralto.
Lana Del Rey is so unappreciated. She gets so much hate on her music because people accuse her of sending the wrong message to her young fans especially the girls, but really she's just a Women singing from her heart about how she feels. Being completely honest in her songs because it's probably the only time she can be. I just had a 40 minute break down over my own messy life and then I put this song on and I felt peace. That's something.
She's definitely not underappreciated ...but not everyone gets her music . I adore her. Saw her in person last month and she is perfectly happy with the amount of fame she has now. She likes to stay on the down low. She will always be appreciated by those of us who love her 🖤
Mooney//Magic i don’t think she‘s unappreciated actually there are more ppl who love her like crazy than hate. i dont think that there r ppl who hate her, the ppl who dont listen to her music just probably dont mind zho
Lana got criticised early on in her career because she was ahead of her time. Not everyone would understand the message and storytelling in this song but not everyone needs to. She creates art from ride to arcadia. It’s not something that’d go viral on tiktok and then be forgotten. Her art is timeless and it’ll be appreciated for decades to come.
No, she got criticised because some of her live shows went off key. She was flat and so radio shows were reluctant to have her for a while, for fear of a poor performance. Not hating, I love her songs, just stating the reason why she was criticised a lot back then.
honestly, i like the vibe of some of her songs, but i feel very sorry for the life she had and i don't think it should be seen in a chromatic or pretty way. Evidently, she was drugged, looking for relationships with several men and freedom at any cost, due to problems in her life that she couldn't solve. It's sad to see the direction her life has taken, as well as that of many... There's nothing so beautiful and poetic about it, just a girl who got lost.
I watched this for the first time when I was 16, nine years ago. It literally changed my life: it showed me that there were people that felt like me, that I wasn't alone. Lana has always reminded me that I am never alone.
She speaks to the emptiness we hide deep inside ourselves beneath all the layers of happiness and joy we show to the world. Its like lying on the bed at 3 am staring at the ceiling and a hot tear flows from the side of your eye on the pillow .then you take a deep breath and pull yourself back again and fake it all over...again.
I remember in my teen years crying to this song countless times . Boys breaking my heart .. years later I’m in love and having a baby with the man I want to spend the rest of my life with . This song no longer brings comfort to my sadness . This song brings comfort knowing my soul is at peace . Her music healed me in ways I never imagined
When I first heard this song years ago I didn’t* have any understanding of its depth. Maybe because I was young. But today I’m watching it after so many years and I sobbed so hard. Just then I read your comment. Beautiful!
Im 43 years old. A 20 year veteran and this song makes me weak. Its so powerful and moving. I lost my mom to cancer in 2018 while I was overseas doing combat support. We werent close but we were able to have one last phone call and I had a nervous breakdown from sleep dep when I got back to the United States. This song takes me through loss, love, and the enduring message of "its going to be ok" I hope you guys love it as much as I do. - Rob in San Diego.
THANK YOU for your service to our COUNTRY !!! I am 54 this song speaks to my soul on so many levels. So sorry about your Mom. :( IT IS going to be ok. Prayers for you!!
I used to watch this during my sleepless nights and cry because I was afraid of going to school the next day and this song would make me feel okay for just a moment. I was 14 when this was released and I’m 23 now, listening to this at midnight because I’m afraid of tomorrow and I just need a moment of peace again.
@@graciel1852 some days yes and others no but I’ll tell you this, I haven't ever felt as bad as I did when I was in high school. I just try to find the little things to comfort me now and this is one of them.
I got the words “just ride” tattooed on my arm last week. I couldn’t be more proud of it. This song means the world to me. It’s transcendental, makes me feel so free and happy to exist, despite all the tribulations I may face, knowing that a simple ride in my car, windows down, hand out in the wind can clear the mind and remind me that I am okay, that I am alive and well. It grounds me and brings me back to earth. This video and the opening and closing monologues are something else as well. I never would’ve thought a person’s music would becomes such an engrained part of my identity (now literally) and my life but I am so happy it is. I met Lana this year at her concert in Minneapolis and 9 months later had a quote of her own mind written on my body forever. I’m very happy with it. Thank you for being there, Lana, even though you don’t even realize how you’ve helped me and changed my life.
its about woman sleeping around mad head great song ...she say she belongs to no one but every one ... permiscus .. jsut ride kinmda clue... it mak e believe stars .... alos mentions open road might taking jouneny driving bike in summer
Every time I listen to 'Ride,' I'm transported to the dystopian world of CronoRevolution. Lana Del Rey's haunting voice perfectly capture the essence of the story's atmosphere. I can only dream of having this masterpiece as the soundtrack to the book one day. If you're into dystopian tales, I hope CronoRevolution will resonate with you as much as this song does with me. Love you, Lana.
She is so flawlessly artistic. Her whole being is a masterpiece. Her way with words, her way with music, her way of transporting you into another reality is beyond comprehension. She is one of the greatest artists of all time.
No one could ever top this. The monologue, the outro, the visuals, the way she sings this song, the way she tells this story. No one could ever have the ability to make me feel the way she does. Because ride isnt a song, it's a feeling, an idea.
Listening to her talk, her singing, her lyrics, the musical arrangement, the instruments, the drums, the orchestra, her vocals, the poetry she wrote for this, Seeing her ride, and her hair and make up and clothes, Las Vegas, the open road, the motorcycles, the gas stations, it helps me. I can't explain why to anyone, I can't express it fully.. it helps me.
When I first clicked on the video, I was like "why is it ten minutes?" And then i realised their was a monologue. At first I was going to skip the speaking, but then I heard her voice and I listened to it all. And thank god I did. I was so close to crying.
La canzone "Ride" di Lana Del Rey è un inno per chi è alla ricerca di stabilità e di uno scopo nella propria vita. La cantante evoca le immagini di una vita errante, senza una meta precisa, e di dover correre dei rischi per farcela. Il ritornello parla della solitudine della cantante e della sua lotta interiore, in quanto la sua mente è in guerra tra il fare ciò che è facile e ciò che è giusto. Alla fine, deve "cavalcare" e confidare che le cose andranno bene, anche se non ne conosce l'esito. Il tema generale della canzone dipinge un quadro vivido degli alti e bassi della vita e trasmette un messaggio di resilienza e speranza: non importa quanto possa essere dura la vita, abbiamo il potere di andare avanti.
This song is pure art... it’s a poem, script and song in one. She captures a certain feeling during depression in such a perfect way. Unless you are a certain type of person, someone who has lived through certain things, you will never really get this. Genius
Monologue: I was in the winter of my life And the men I met along the road were my only summer At night I fell asleep with visions of myself dancing and laughing and crying with them Three years down the line of being on an endless world tour and my memories of them were the only things that sustained me And my only real happy times I was a singer Not a very popular one I once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet But upon an unfortunate series of events saw those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky That I wished on over and over again, sparkling and broken But I didn’t really mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it to know what true freedom is When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing how I had been living, they asked me why, but there’s no use in talking to people who have a home They have no idea what its like to seek safety in other people For home to be wherever you lie your head I was always an unusual girl My mother told me that I had a chameleon soul No moral compass pointing due north No fixed personality Just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean And if I said I didn’t plan for it to turn out this way I’d be lying Because I was born to be the other woman Who belonged to no one Who belonged to everyone Who had nothing Who wanted everything With a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn’t even talk about it And pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me
After all these years, the monologue, the whole production of Ride in fact, speaks to me on a complete other level that no other artist has managed so far
Briana Ferreira absolutely! When I first heard Ride I was in awe (I still am to be honest) Her music in general is just on another level (to me at least) and I could never get bored of her or her artistry
Sheri Gina I think for me it’s just this innate sense of freedom the song makes me feel. It’s almost like the song allows me to be free from whatever it is that is holding me back at any given time. It weirdly also makes me feel nostalgic even though I’ve never remotely lived like she does in the video haha
“My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean.” I’ve loved Lana for what she’s written as a poet and the aspects of her story I see in myself, but this truly exemplifies how she puts to words to problems I feel that I see no one else describe.
I relate to her too because my dad as well called me a chameleon. I become whoever I feel the safest with and that’s who I am. I’m not a specific person, I change as does the ocean. Yes, I have interests, and yes I have a personality, but it is ever changing as is the ocean and every living day. I love Lana for the same reasons. We relate in that way. I love her music. It feels free, it feels like summer (where I’m most alone and most myself), and it feels like me.
I feel like this song embodies what she was talking about when she made that post. The freedom to be the woman you are without the world attacking you. Lana has been speaking truths since day one. Her music hits topics that most people and woman don't want to talk about or ashamed of. We all have the right to go through our journey and learn our lesson anyway we really please. There are always consequences to the choices we make, good and bad, but it's our life. Women get chastised so much for how they live their life and Lana always talked about the hard unspoken parts.
But then she spoke as if she was the only one who experienced that when it’s a universal issue for women. It’s not exclusive to her. If that was her intention then I don’t see why she had to drag other women into her post as if they didn’t deserve their success cos they make different music to her
@@kay-leighlewis9322 she didn't drag.. She mentioned their achievement of having number one songs without being judged for on whatever topic they want to sing.(sorry for bad English it's not my 1st language)
11 years after this was released, I hear her saying "I just ride" while riding a man after she says men were her summer in the winter of her life....and just gained a new meaning of these lyrics. Mindblown.
She's so unique, there's no one else that sounds like her or creates imaginary in videos like her, I think we should all appreciate that in a world full of generics and people who copy one another. Her music is so romantic and melancholic it takes you to another place
Emotional Machine yes which is what I meant. We don't give the opportunity to people who have different creativity from the norm, everything is commercially genetic. It's a shame
Right? Like people are missing out on her greatness. It’s when she’s gone that people are gonna relies what were we thinking she was amazing way more than amazing
Lana Del Rey in 2012: “I once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet.” Lana Del Rey in 2020: She released her first poetry book “Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass”. We are proud of Lana❤️
I heard it’s bcuz you have to pay for them. Sadly.. it’s not about art anymore. And they intentionally keep her from winning Grammy’s bcuz she doesn’t fit the current “status quo” of artists in the industry.
yes omfg this song overwhelmed me ive always felt like i wanted to escape to run away to do things last second not plan anything jus see where i end up and god this song jus hit different tonight
*[Pre-Song]* I was in the winter of my life And the men I met along the road were my only summer At night I fell asleep with visions of myself dancing and laughing and crying with them Three years down the line of being on an endless world tour and my memories of them were the only things that sustained me And my only real happy times I was a singer Not a very popular one I once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet But upon an unfortunate series of events saw those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky That I wished on over and over again, sparkling and broken But I really didn’t mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it to know what true freedom is When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing how I had been living, they asked me why, but there’s no use in talking to people who have a home They have no idea what its like to seek safety in other people For home to be wherever you lie your head I was always an unusual girl My mother told me that I had a chameleon soul No moral compass pointing me due north No fixed personality Just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and wavering as the ocean And if I said I didn’t plan for it to turn out this way I’d be lying Because I was born to be the other woman Who belonged to no one Who belonged to everyone Who had nothing Who wanted everything With a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn’t even talk about it And pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me *[Song]* I've been out on that open road You can be my full time daddy, White and gold Singing blues has been getting old You can be my full time baby, Hot or cold Don't break me down I've been travelin' too long I've been trying too hard With one pretty song I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast, I am alone in midnight Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, But I, I've got a war in my mind So, I just ride, just ride, I just ride, just ride Dying young and I'm playing hard That's the way my father made his life an art Drink all day and we talk 'til dark That's the way the road dogs do it - ride 'til dark. Don't leave me now Don't say good bye Don't turn around Leave me high and dry I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast, I am alone in midnight Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, But I, I've got a war in my mind I just ride, just ride, I just ride, just ride I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy I'm tired of driving 'til I see stars in my eyes It's all I've got to keep myself sane, baby So I just ride, I just ride I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast, I am alone in midnight Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, But I, I've got a war in my mind I just ride, just ride, I just ride, I just ride. *[Post-Song]* Every night I used to pray that I’d find my people And finally I did On the open road We had nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired anymore Except to make our lives into a work of art Live fast Die young Be wild And have fun I believe in the country America used to be I believe in the person I want to become I believe in the freedom of the open road And my motto is the same as ever "I believe in the kindness of strangers" And when I'm at war with myself I ride I just ride Who are you? Are you in touch with all of your darkest fantasies? Have you created a life for yourself where you can experience them? I have I am fucking crazy *But I am free*
Im 57 and listen to this most days... i have no words to explain how i feel when i listen to this beautifull song ... i want to cry for something i never had .. touches my very soul .. thank you Lana xxx
@@lowrispooner2279 at 63 and disabled and retired and feeling trapped just keep willing myself in if i watch it enough. I love music - i have experienced a lot of music- She dwells in rare company to start and this song…best to those in Her shadow, the nice bit of that is the amazing souls so may become and learn to sing when their time comes due to Lana Blazing the way. Time to R… Peace
Junebug I was thinking the same.......the only mistake in the description is that it makes it seem that ‘Lust For Life’ came out in 2012, but it really was 2017.....
Dear Lana♡, I know my comment is gonna dissappear amongst hundreds of the comments but I just want to thank you Lana. You healed me. Your music calmed my soul when I was in a war with myself, when I was running from myself, you gave me solace, you gave me hope that I can do this, girls like me can do this. Your music helped me when I felt that I lost my mind and I would happy if I was dead but your music healed me. I started listening to you since Lust from Life was released. I was 13 then. Your voice seemed like a lullaby and I listened and just after I was 14 I started listeming to you more and more(thats y i k all the lyrics) and when my heart broke and i had to cry i had a song, your song. when i listen to you I felt everything was fine and sometimes the world was ending but I didnt care. Heaven i was in when i was hearing you sing. Thank you Lana. You have saved me, healed my traumas. You made me, me and right now, listening to u sing I am nth but happy. ♡
Ok why am i crying reading this I also started listening to her at 13 cuz i liked the music Then recenlty i got heartbroken and i fell in love with lana instead smetimes kt feels like shes holding me in her hands though her music while im crying i understand you sending love
Wow this music video was just...wow. I can't really begin to describe how beautiful this was. Everything, the monologue, the images, the lyrics, the music, Lana herself. I could feel everthing, listening to the song, I just wanted to leave the life that I'm living now and start a new one, somewhere far away where I would just ride until dawn. I love it when music does that to you, makes you feel this incredible feeling and takes you to a whole new place. I'm writing this with tears in my eyes, never have I been this affected by music before, I guess Lana has the power to do that to you. Absolutely incredible, one of the most beautiful things I've seen. A masterpiece
it literally makes me feel high.. all her music makes me zone out and I can feel everything shes put Into it.. She's the only person for me who can do that... that's why her fans are so hardcore (´･_･`)
I got alcohol poisoning in September 2013 I was 17 years old. I died in the life flight on the way to the bigger hospital. I was revived. I woke up still drunk off my ass. I asked the nurse if she minded if I sang a song. She didn’t mind. I sang Ride. This song is my all time favorite and has changed my life. I even sang it the first time I got alcohol poisoning. I sang it through a lot of periods of my life. Now it’s 12 years later and the meaning is different but still brings me back..
And it will still be a masterpiece 50 or more years from now. Like Born to run by Springsteen and on the road by Kerouac. As long as people rebel against establishment - even though for a short time in their youth.
The monologue is a true masterpiece. The song doesn't make as much sense without it. "I was in a winter of my life and the men I met along the road were my only summer"...Beautiful.

no CGI, no violence, no pop rhythm, just calmness, poetry and freedom. This is the best clip ever.
I cant tell if it’s sarcasm Wight he no violence
just a little bit of cultural appropriation!
Lana belongs in an art museum
J. D finally someone told it 👍🏻
J. D UR SO ART DECO
#reference
I could never agree more, let's start a petition
I do not think she belongs to the museum... she is very present
Heck yeah!! Ur totally right 😹🔥😎
I think that Lana isn't just a random person. She's an emotion like "How do you feel?" : "Oh, I'm kinda Lana Del Rey..."
Yasmeen fr though
A.K.A passionately melancholy

like 24/7 lana del rey

this isn’t a music video, this is an experience
This isn't a song. It's an artful representation of the human condition.

True
Period
When I’m lost I come here
“Ride feels like a confession of freedom that comes with loneliness, where the open road offers escape but never quite fills the emptiness inside.”
Definitely
If you start listening to “Ride” by Lana Del Rey at exactly 11:58:31 on New Years Eve, you can sing along to "I am alone at midnight" at exactly midnight. Start your New Year honestly.
Im doing this, its a ways away but im doing it
Alyssa Jaramillo 😂😂
Doing this this year
dude I did this and you arE RIGHT OH MY GOD
Illiterate...that what you are !!
"I was born to be the other woman. I belonged to no one. I belonged to everyone. Who had nothing who wanted everything"
These words hit me in my heart. I have felt this my whole life.
@Shivangi omg are you talking about euphoria? nooo stop dont bring it EVERYWHERE hahah
I am sorry for your experience. I'm a man, but I've been in that position my entire life as well, so I empathize. All the best to you and your life, and hope you have all the strength and hopefulness you need to see life as worth living despite the suffering.
Same
Well U thought she said she was the other woman n he belonged to no one lol
It's like having BPD.. I'm fucking crazy 🤪.. I love her
Lana makes me feel like everything's gonna be fine even when it's not
Why Not?
Dean Hawthorne me too
Sam Summers yeah Hailey
I keep seeing your comments on Lana's songs ^^
lol
The "im tired of feeling like im fu**ing crazy" part never fails to give me goosebumps!
Although ppl say her music is depressing, I think they make me want to live more. Like I feel so alive listening to her music and appreciate my existence. Anyone else feel the same?
perefectly said
OMG SAME
Same here
And I’ll never be able to explain it any better than this
100% agree
My daughter just passed away. She loved your music and had a huge poster of you on her wall. This video is Beautiful! It was her message to me. God Bless You!
Im so sorry for your loss, rip 🥺 god bless you
I am so sorry for your loss 🥺❤️

so sorry, sending u all my love 💗💗

"i belive in the person i want to become" that WILL be my senior quote mark my words ill come back in 4 years
8 YEARS and I'm still not over this song, I never will. No words can describe the emotions it makes me feel. Maybe because I've always romanticized that "riding free" lifestyle as well, and fantasized about finding my people... people that I would really bond with and go on an open road adventure, having fun, feeling timeless, wild and free, and feeling home.
Same here girl!!
Same here i Really just wana live and seek adventures. Try things out. Not caring what other people say
Her videos are incredible.
I’m your people and your mine. We were all meant to be each others maybe not on the exact note as one another but as a whole we could all be the beautiful symphony created specifically for the defining of each individual note and blending us all together into a sound so pure and perfect that even the angels in heaven cry. As a whole we are all perfect as single entities we are but a flute minus the breath. I don’t know if anyone will get my drift but I can only hope that one person needing to hear this will know that I am searching too, searching for my people. Just let go of the restrictions of society and give in to abandon and there we will find each other. Until then my friend....... live fast die young and be free..... xoxo
@@candiscastro7824 🥂 Cheers to that !
“Who belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone” that one hit me hardddddd
Complex hoeing
Cairo Duckett pretty much. But it’s not without purpose. It’s like wanting love so bad but not knowing how to get it so you exchange a part of yourself (body) to supplement the part of yourself (love fulfillment) that you really wish you had.
Lil Durk when does it become pointless tho cus finding love that way almost never works
Cairo Duckett we and Lana understand that. That’s the whole point of her quote
@@Mommahaiti it stops mattering when the part of yourself you want to exchange (body) has no subjective value to anyone who could fool you into believing you were obtaining the part of yourself (love fulfillment) that you really wish you had. So... around age 35-40?
Lana Del Rey really wrote that, I can’t wait for the poetry books
She writes almost everything she puts out.
@@tomo0086 almost??
eikwjw k Yeah, she does covers too. Doin time, The other woman, blue velvet, don’t let me be misunderstood, etc
Y'all having a coming out party on Lana's page.
ITS COMING
Lana gives me hope that through all my trauma and with all my eccentricities that I can be understood.
The day Lana wins a Grammy is the day I take them seriously. Whether you like her music, message, lyric etc or not, you cannot deny she unarguably has one of the most beautiful voices of this generation. So under-appreciated and immensely unique and talented.
😭😭hell yeah
Seriously very very underrated
lana’s born to die era will never be topped by any other, this, Born To Die, Off To The Races, National Anthem are pure art
You may be right. All be it, some slip through the cracks and question the World around them, but most education systems now are structured to take away rather than give... Born to Die off the Race...
This was not the Born To Die era.
honestly
Not to be dramatic or anything but this song changed my life
same. I got the "been tryin' hard not to get into trouble but I-, I got a war on my mind" tattooed on my rib. Honestly when I lost the love of my life, I just wanted quick love. It wasn't healthy but it felt good to just be wanted by someone. The healthy relationships I was in were not "him" or like "him" and I wasn't happy. This song just speaks to me and my early 20's. I traveled, camped in the desert, put myself in stupid situations. To me, this song is a reminder of a time that I was able to grow out of. All the lessons I learned. Sometimes when i'm feeling hurt even an episode of extreme manic feelings, I listen to this. I get my cry session over and live my best life.
Same!
No, you aren't dramatic.😂❤
Rose Gomez As English is not my first language, I have loved this song for years without really noticing its lyrics. I’m not being dramatic as well but when you point out that sentence from the lyrics, two seconds and I cried out
Girl, same!
This song will, eternally, be the American West for me. Thank you, Lana.
Whenever I have suicidal thoughts I always listen to Lana. She shows me how beautiful life truly is through her music. I’m forever grateful for this angel.
There is always hope stay strong
same her :)
same here, always remember you’re not alone. There’s always hope ✨
TØP Lannister don’t let your demons eat you. You’re stronger than that. Pain is temporary, life is the longest thing you’ll ever experience. Savour it. Make it last, make it mean something. There is no “end it all”. Ending isn’t beautiful it’s broken, it’s an abyss. Andige gets tough, but through it all, through everything, there is something to look for. Life is beautiful. And painful. And that’s why it’s so great. Don’t let your demons drown you. Learn to swim above them. I promise, nothing will ever be worth ending your life for.
you are STRONG. you are WORTHY. always remember that ❤️
I’ve met Lana after one of her concerts. I cannot describe the energy this woman gives. Her voice is soothing, her words are like velvet. Her smile can light up a whole room. Lana is a singer, a powerful one. She is a poet. Her music is art. There is no one, and I mean no one like her. Not even close. This song, this prologue and epilogue. This is a masterpiece. I just wished people would truly appreciate the greatness that Lana is.
She is the best 🥰
She is the epitome of introvert charisma, she is very inspiring
You're a lucky person. I've always wanted to meet her. I've always wanted to share a space with her quiet but powerful energy. What an experience.
Facts no one not even Beyoncé can compete
@@delulux1p💯🎯👏👏👏 agreed!!!
It's impossible to skip this monologue. Even though you come just for the music, you become addicted to the story.

The monologue is such a big part of this musical experience ❤❤❤❤
They don’t make music videos like this anymore. Without a doubt one of her best work🥹✨
💯
Me a 15 year old who hasn’t done anything crazy or spontaneous finds this relatable... her power
ME
Me too. This is the kind of life I want. I'm tired of not feeling anything and lord knows I'm tired pretending to be the kind, innocent, and goody-two-shoes child. I want to be able to feel these emotions and see these sights. I'd be crazy to throw away my life for this, but just one road trip through the summer might help me.
Rae Smith i felt you, we're in this together!! We can do this
I remember the first time I saw this video was when I was 15 too (I'm 23 now) and I remember feeling the same way. and I can't explain it, but after seeing this video I changed and I really put it in on this video and Lana and how she is able to turn her sadness into power and her ability to not just accept life as it is, but to make it into something beautiful and is able to feel free in a society that likes to put labels on everyone. 2 years ago I saw Lana sing for the first time in real life and I wept the whole time because Lana and this song is the reason I am able to be the free person I am today. Sorry I know that was a-lot, but I remember when I was 15 and remember feeling as you do, and it is a beautiful feeling. xoxo.
samee
technically, this song is so difficult to sing. despite her having a lower vocal register, she (perfectly) changes pitch from low to high and to do this so smoothly without voice cracks is difficult. Her vocal talents are rlly overlooked.
ITS A CONTRALTO THEY ARE MALES WHO HAVE BEEN CASTRATED WHEN VERY YOUNG , SHE IS A TRANSSEXUAL FULL SEX CHANGE , AND THAT NIS WHAT SHE MEANS , ABOUT A WAR IN HER MIND , ITS A REGRET AND PROBABLY NOT THE FAULT OF DEL RAY BUT THE PARENTS SHOULD BE SHOT FOR DOING SUCH A THING THATS THE TRUTH ITS A MAN YOUR LISTENING TO
@@tonycostanzo4276 say sike right now.
tony costanzo ....what
A contralto is a type of classical female singing voice whose vocal range is the lowest female voice type. The contralto’s vocal range is fairly rare; similar to, but different from the alto, and almost identical to that of a countertenor. The contralto voice type is generally divided into the coloratura, lyric, and dramatic contralto.
tony costanzo i- there's baby pictures of lana what
Lana Del Rey is so unappreciated. She gets so much hate on her music because people accuse her of sending the wrong message to her young fans especially the girls, but really she's just a Women singing from her heart about how she feels. Being completely honest in her songs because it's probably the only time she can be.
I just had a 40 minute break down over my own messy life and then I put this song on and I felt peace. That's something.
Same here🖤
That's not true. Her songs help me get through my depressive episodes.
She's definitely not underappreciated ...but not everyone gets her music . I adore her. Saw her in person last month and she is perfectly happy with the amount of fame she has now. She likes to stay on the down low. She will always be appreciated by those of us who love her 🖤
Mooney//Magic i don’t think she‘s unappreciated actually there are more ppl who love her like crazy than hate. i dont think that there r ppl who hate her, the ppl who dont listen to her music just probably dont mind zho
What, who hates her? And how is she unappreciated? 106 milion of views, dude XD
Cried (not out of sadness) . What a masterpiece.
That Lanachella entrance was the most Lana thing I’ve ever seen . 🏍️ 🍒 😎🥺
Yessss❤❤
She keeps on riding ❤
She's so real and so iconic!
just iconic Lana, mother of everything!
Yes but she is a Hollywood elite and wouldn't dare wave the American flag anymore she sold out now😢
Lana got criticised early on in her career because she was ahead of her time. Not everyone would understand the message and storytelling in this song but not everyone needs to. She creates art from ride to arcadia. It’s not something that’d go viral on tiktok and then be forgotten. Her art is timeless and it’ll be appreciated for decades to come.
Yeahh , so accurate
No, she got criticised because some of her live shows went off key. She was flat and so radio shows were reluctant to have her for a while, for fear of a poor performance. Not hating, I love her songs, just stating the reason why she was criticised a lot back then.
honestly, i like the vibe of some of her songs, but i feel very sorry for the life she had and i don't think it should be seen in a chromatic or pretty way. Evidently, she was drugged, looking for relationships with several men and freedom at any cost, due to problems in her life that she couldn't solve. It's sad to see the direction her life has taken, as well as that of many... There's nothing so beautiful and poetic about it, just a girl who got lost.
Arcadia is so timeless and captivating and makes me feel so much
OMG PREAHHHHHHHHH THANKyou! im screenshoting this

not to be dramatic, but this monologue has changed my entire life since the first time I heard it, I just live like it
I watched this for the first time when I was 16, nine years ago. It literally changed my life: it showed me that there were people that felt like me, that I wasn't alone. Lana has always reminded me that I am never alone.

Be strong baby girl… resolve whatever it is bcuz in the blink of an eye it’s over
Xoxo ❤️🕊️❤️
She speaks to the emptiness we hide deep inside ourselves beneath all the layers of happiness and joy we show to the world. Its like lying on the bed at 3 am staring at the ceiling and a hot tear flows from the side of your eye on the pillow .then you take a deep breath and pull yourself back again and fake it all over...again.
I feel the same..
That sounds quite miserable. I lived many years in sadness and depression. I never hid it . But now it’s so freeing to be happy and appreciate life .
I fake every day..... Every single day. I fake my feelings and emotions.
I love your words! We are empathes.
It seems you're excellent at writing crux of Lana's mellifluous arts!
I remember in my teen years crying to this song countless times . Boys breaking my heart .. years later I’m in love and having a baby with the man I want to spend the rest of my life with . This song no longer brings comfort to my sadness . This song brings comfort knowing my soul is at peace . Her music healed me in ways I never imagined
You are so strong! Don't let anything stop you from be the best mother ever!
Benjamín Blanco Di Russo thank you so much !
When I first heard this song years ago I didn’t* have any understanding of its depth. Maybe because I was young. But today I’m watching it after so many years and I sobbed so hard. Just then I read your comment. Beautiful!
So happy for you ❤️ you deserve it
that is the ultimate love story 😍 congrats, baby girl!
Im 43 years old. A 20 year veteran and this song makes me weak. Its so powerful and moving. I lost my mom to cancer in 2018 while I was overseas doing combat support. We werent close but we were able to have one last phone call and I had a nervous breakdown from sleep dep when I got back to the United States.

@@hey-zel that’s nice to hear thank you ❤️ I hope everything goes well for you
I got the words “just ride” tattooed on my arm last week. I couldn’t be more proud of it. This song means the world to me. It’s transcendental, makes me feel so free and happy to exist, despite all the tribulations I may face, knowing that a simple ride in my car, windows down, hand out in the wind can clear the mind and remind me that I am okay, that I am alive and well. It grounds me and brings me back to earth. This video and the opening and closing monologues are something else as well. I never would’ve thought a person’s music would becomes such an engrained part of my identity (now literally) and my life but I am so happy it is. I met Lana this year at her concert in Minneapolis and 9 months later had a quote of her own mind written on my body forever. I’m very happy with it. Thank you for being there, Lana, even though you don’t even realize how you’ve helped me and changed my life.

She is so flawlessly artistic. Her whole being is a masterpiece. Her way with words, her way with music, her way of transporting you into another reality is beyond comprehension. She is one of the greatest artists of all time.
A masterpiece that set the culture on fire in 2012.
Not talked about enough
No one could ever top this. The monologue, the outro, the visuals, the way she sings this song, the way she tells this story. No one could ever have the ability to make me feel the way she does. Because ride isnt a song, it's a feeling, an idea.
This song plus the monologue has such a beautiful message it's so sad yet it gives you a strange sense of fulfilment

La canzone "Ride" di Lana Del Rey è un inno per chi è alla ricerca di stabilità e di uno scopo nella propria vita. La cantante evoca le immagini di una vita errante, senza una meta precisa, e di dover correre dei rischi per farcela. Il ritornello parla della solitudine della cantante e della sua lotta interiore, in quanto la sua mente è in guerra tra il fare ciò che è facile e ciò che è giusto. Alla fine, deve "cavalcare" e confidare che le cose andranno bene, anche se non ne conosce l'esito. Il tema generale della canzone dipinge un quadro vivido degli alti e bassi della vita e trasmette un messaggio di resilienza e speranza: non importa quanto possa essere dura la vita, abbiamo il potere di andare avanti.
This song is pure art... it’s a poem, script and song in one. She captures a certain feeling during depression in such a perfect way. Unless you are a certain type of person, someone who has lived through certain things, you will never really get this. Genius
Monologue:
I was in the winter of my life
And the men I met along the road were my only summer
At night I fell asleep with visions of myself dancing and laughing and crying with them
Three years down the line of being on an endless world tour and my memories of them were the only things that sustained me
And my only real happy times
I was a singer
Not a very popular one
I once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet
But upon an unfortunate series of events saw those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky
That I wished on over and over again, sparkling and broken
But I didn’t really mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it to know what true freedom is
When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing how I had been living, they asked me why, but there’s no use in talking to people who have a home
They have no idea what its like to seek safety in other people
For home to be wherever you lie your head
I was always an unusual girl
My mother told me that I had a chameleon soul
No moral compass pointing due north
No fixed personality
Just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean
And if I said I didn’t plan for it to turn out this way I’d be lying
Because I was born to be the other woman
Who belonged to no one
Who belonged to everyone
Who had nothing
Who wanted everything
With a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn’t even talk about it
And pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me
Thank you!
this is one of the most intriguing master pieces that explaint the plight of the nomadic lifestyle.truly dazzled
Thank youuuu! 🇧🇷💛
thank you for this text. Now I like the monologue even more
@@MagicNk same 😅 I come everyday and read it with Lana lmao.
After all these years, the monologue, the whole production of Ride in fact, speaks to me on a complete other level that no other artist has managed so far
Agreed I can't fully wrap my hear and heart and soul around it, but it's life changing
Max I can't describe how this song makes me feel, words don't come close to it tbh.
Briana Ferreira absolutely! When I first heard Ride I was in awe (I still am to be honest)
Her music in general is just on another level (to me at least) and I could never get bored of her or her artistry
Sheri Gina I think for me it’s just this innate sense of freedom the song makes me feel. It’s almost like the song allows me to be free from whatever it is that is holding me back at any given time. It weirdly also makes me feel nostalgic even though I’ve never remotely lived like she does in the video haha
Sheri , I can't describe how this song makes me FREE
THIS CLEARED MY ACNE, RAISED MY GPA, BROUGHT BACK MY LONG LOST DOG, AND CURED MY DEPRESSION
“My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean.”
I’ve loved Lana for what she’s written as a poet and the aspects of her story I see in myself, but this truly exemplifies how she puts to words to problems I feel that I see no one else describe.
I relate to her too because my dad as well called me a chameleon. I become whoever I feel the safest with and that’s who I am. I’m not a specific person, I change as does the ocean. Yes, I have interests, and yes I have a personality, but it is ever changing as is the ocean and every living day. I love Lana for the same reasons. We relate in that way. I love her music. It feels free, it feels like summer (where I’m most alone and most myself), and it feels like me.
me too
We quoted the same verse ! How weird is that in such a big universe
Xo ❤️🕊️❤️
My mother said the same..I’m in AA meetings and been told I look like her…
Not to be dramatic though...
I feel like this song embodies what she was talking about when she made that post. The freedom to be the woman you are without the world attacking you. Lana has been speaking truths since day one. Her music hits topics that most people and woman don't want to talk about or ashamed of. We all have the right to go through our journey and learn our lesson anyway we really please. There are always consequences to the choices we make, good and bad, but it's our life. Women get chastised so much for how they live their life and Lana always talked about the hard unspoken parts.
JayDee6974 so true.
Yes!!!
Yess!! All the ppl on internet talking she's racist really blind they couldn't even read and understand what she was talking about!!
But then she spoke as if she was the only one who experienced that when it’s a universal issue for women. It’s not exclusive to her.
If that was her intention then I don’t see why she had to drag other women into her post as if they didn’t deserve their success cos they make different music to her
@@kay-leighlewis9322 she didn't drag.. She mentioned their achievement of having number one songs without being judged for on whatever topic they want to sing.(sorry for bad English it's not my 1st language)
this song is timeless
I love your channel ❤
Maya Terhoeven 💕thank youu ☺☺
Shamsa Shakir 1000's like:)
The Clique Crybaby I didn't know this had so many likes 🌼💫
Shamsa Shakir this song is truly delicious, Lana is wonderful!🙆
11 years after this was released, I hear her saying "I just ride" while riding a man after she says men were her summer in the winter of her life....and just gained a new meaning of these lyrics. Mindblown.
She's so unique, there's no one else that sounds like her or creates imaginary in videos like her, I think we should all appreciate that in a world full of generics and people who copy one another. Her music is so romantic and melancholic it takes you to another place
Mania28 Of course there’s more people who makes music like this, they’re just underrated and you don’t know them.
Emotional Machine yes which is what I meant. We don't give the opportunity to people who have different creativity from the norm, everything is commercially genetic. It's a shame
Mania28 Agreed
Right? Like people are missing out on her greatness. It’s when she’s gone that people are gonna relies what were we thinking she was amazing way more than amazing
Yes thank goodness for her production team. ❤
Lana Del Rey in 2012: “I once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet.”
Lana Del Rey in 2020: She released her first poetry book “Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass”.
We are proud of Lana❤️
violet was released in 2020, but yes we are very proud of her ❤️
@@Javii1 she just said that 🤡
@@tharealgeminiprincess5858 they edited it. it said 2021 before...
She is a poet..
@@Javii1 oh well stfu it don’t matter
How she has not won a single Grammy is one of the greatest mysteries in the universe.
It’s OK
Have the same question
I heard it’s bcuz you have to pay for them. Sadly.. it’s not about art anymore. And they intentionally keep her from winning Grammy’s bcuz she doesn’t fit the current “status quo” of artists in the industry.
that system is so fucked
She doesn’t belong to that shit
I discovered Lana in 2013. The beginning monologue described my life exactly from 2012 to 2017 ❤🙌
❤❤❤😢
That was the best ten minutes ever
First Name Last Name I agree
So prick!!!
the monologue gives so much context to the song, everytime i listen again it just makes more and more sense
When you have a free spirit, strict parents and anxiety this makes you cry
How have you been rn?
yes omfg this song overwhelmed me ive always felt like i wanted to escape to run away to do things last second not plan anything jus see where i end up and god this song jus hit different tonight
Every time I listen I can't help but cry
*crying* yes
yes.
Anyone in October 2024?
Hey
@@ameerarf9044 hi

*[Pre-Song]*
I was in the winter of my life
And the men I met along the road were my only summer
At night I fell asleep with visions of myself dancing and laughing and crying with them
Three years down the line of being on an endless world tour and my memories of them were the only things that sustained me
And my only real happy times
I was a singer
Not a very popular one
I once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet
But upon an unfortunate series of events saw those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky
That I wished on over and over again, sparkling and broken
But I really didn’t mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it to know what true freedom is
When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing how I had been living, they asked me why, but there’s no use in talking to people who have a home
They have no idea what its like to seek safety in other people
For home to be wherever you lie your head
I was always an unusual girl
My mother told me that I had a chameleon soul
No moral compass pointing me due north
No fixed personality
Just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and wavering as the ocean
And if I said I didn’t plan for it to turn out this way I’d be lying
Because I was born to be the other woman
Who belonged to no one
Who belonged to everyone
Who had nothing
Who wanted everything
With a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn’t even talk about it
And pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me
*[Song]*
I've been out on that open road
You can be my full time daddy,
White and gold
Singing blues has been getting old
You can be my full time baby,
Hot or cold
Don't break me down
I've been travelin' too long
I've been trying too hard
With one pretty song
I hear the birds on the summer breeze,
I drive fast, I am alone in midnight
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble,
But I, I've got a war in my mind
So, I just ride, just ride,
I just ride, just ride
Dying young and I'm playing hard
That's the way my father made his life an art
Drink all day and we talk 'til dark
That's the way the road dogs do it - ride 'til dark.
Don't leave me now
Don't say good bye
Don't turn around
Leave me high and dry
I hear the birds on the summer breeze,
I drive fast, I am alone in midnight
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble,
But I, I've got a war in my mind
I just ride, just ride,
I just ride, just ride
I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy
I'm tired of driving 'til I see stars in my eyes
It's all I've got to keep myself sane, baby
So I just ride, I just ride
I hear the birds on the summer breeze,
I drive fast, I am alone in midnight
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble,
But I, I've got a war in my mind
I just ride, just ride,
I just ride, I just ride.
*[Post-Song]*
Every night I used to pray that I’d find my people
And finally I did
On the open road
We had nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired anymore
Except to make our lives into a work of art
Live fast
Die young
Be wild
And have fun
I believe in the country America used to be
I believe in the person I want to become
I believe in the freedom of the open road
And my motto is the same as ever
"I believe in the kindness of strangers"
And when I'm at war with myself
I ride
I just ride
Who are you?
Are you in touch with all of your darkest fantasies?
Have you created a life for yourself where you can experience them?
I have
I am fucking crazy
*But I am free*
Samer thank you so much
Thanks!👍
Samer thanks
Samer thanks
No problem guys :)
Im 57 and listen to this most days... i have no words to explain how i feel when i listen to this beautifull song ... i want to cry for something i never had .. touches my very soul .. thank you Lana xxx
have you listened to Born To Die album?
It’s never too late. You can have the life you want. 😊
@@lowrispooner2279 at 63 and disabled and retired and feeling trapped just keep willing myself in if i watch it enough.
I love music - i have experienced a lot of music- She dwells in rare company to start and this song…best to those in Her shadow, the nice bit of that is the amazing souls so may become and learn to sing when their time comes due to Lana Blazing the way. Time to R…
Peace
10 minutes of pure art.
Pure cringe*

Yeah when u watching idubbbz not this shit she does look good tho

I remember watching this when I was 11 and now I’m 21 watching this for the 500th time. some things will never change
I can't believe it's been 7 years. Holy shit.
Junebug I was thinking the same.......the only mistake in the description is that it makes it seem that ‘Lust For Life’ came out in 2012, but it really was 2017.....
Junebug right holy shit 🥺🥺

Dear Lana♡,
I know my comment is gonna dissappear amongst hundreds of the comments but I just want to thank you Lana. You healed me. Your music calmed my soul when I was in a war with myself, when I was running from myself, you gave me solace, you gave me hope that I can do this, girls like me can do this.
Your music helped me when I felt that I lost my mind and I would happy if I was dead but your music healed me. I started listening to you since Lust from Life was released. I was 13 then. Your voice seemed like a lullaby and I listened and just after I was 14 I started listeming to you more and more(thats y i k all the lyrics) and when my heart broke and i had to cry i had a song, your song. when i listen to you I felt everything was fine and sometimes the world was ending but I didnt care. Heaven i was in when i was hearing you sing.
Thank you Lana. You have saved me, healed my traumas. You made me, me and right now, listening to u sing I am nth but happy. ♡
😢💔 same I was 13 and she been my every thing I Am 20 now I listen to her almost everyday
Ok why am i crying reading this
I also started listening to her at 13 cuz i liked the music
Then recenlty i got heartbroken and i fell in love with lana instead
smetimes kt feels like shes holding me in her hands though her music while im crying
i understand you
sending love
@@wiamben4986 awww sending u lots of love. ❤❤
@@yep.polina8350 i can totalllyy relatee she is just everything. ❣❣❣
So beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ hope everything is going fine, u deserve heaven queen never forget that
Her videos are incredible.
Totally agree! That past decades aesthetics is unique! The best possible escort for her deep feminin voice ...
Yeah..
Sensação liberdade...
We need a 2 hour movie with her based on this video... Damn
ı don't understand exactly ı wish there is a subtitle
There wasn’t a recording artist that could touch Lana at this level in her career.
This triggers my depression yet makes me so happy
we tend to feel better when at looking at sad things versus happy things during depression.
+Pablo Ortega agreed💯
+nilo 1.2 yea I am the same way , I drive to Lana and it helps me cope I guess funny how things work
Same here
+Rayna Lorena just glad we have Lana
Lana Del Rey will go down as a legend. Her music is so timeless.
Wow this music video was just...wow. I can't really begin to describe how beautiful this was. Everything, the monologue, the images, the lyrics, the music, Lana herself. I could feel everthing, listening to the song, I just wanted to leave the life that I'm living now and start a new one, somewhere far away where I would just ride until dawn. I love it when music does that to you, makes you feel this incredible feeling and takes you to a whole new place. I'm writing this with tears in my eyes, never have I been this affected by music before, I guess Lana has the power to do that to you. Absolutely incredible, one of the most beautiful things I've seen. A masterpiece
❤
i know exactly what you mean. lana is the only artist that does that to me and that is why I love her and her music so much.
it literally makes me feel high.. all her music makes me zone out and I can feel everything shes put Into it.. She's the only person for me who can do that... that's why her fans are so hardcore (´･_･`)
Wow, your comment is written and communicated wonderfully! It is my honor to read it. Thank you.
your channel is lit 🔥
I got alcohol poisoning in September 2013 I was 17 years old. I died in the life flight on the way to the bigger hospital. I was revived. I woke up still drunk off my ass. I asked the nurse if she minded if I sang a song. She didn’t mind. I sang Ride. This song is my all time favorite and has changed my life. I even sang it the first time I got alcohol poisoning. I sang it through a lot of periods of my life. Now it’s 12 years later and the meaning is different but still brings me back..
10 years of this masterpiece. 10 years been coming back here for more. impressive how this song never gets old
😅

And it will still be a masterpiece 50 or more years from now. Like Born to run by Springsteen and on the road by Kerouac. As long as people rebel against establishment - even though for a short time in their youth.
It's 10 years old
it mean part of you didn't get old
If you're here, you have good taste in music
Don't say it arbitrarily..................but is true here
I’m always here, hello, welcome to my home
i’m here like everyday if you wanna talk 🤠
I'm here and this is her second worst song ever.
rob slade you have horrible taste in music, rob.
