- I have a feeling this was requested so you could see me roll my eyes again! hahahah. Lana knows what she is doing with all the layering for different interpretations with this music video and I'm happy to facilitate the conversation around the "older man dating younger woman," LOL. If you have been around my channel for awhile, you will know that I openly admit that this is my "baggage" bc of personal experience (eye roll). It is not a judgment toward the man in the video, because I don't know him, and from Lana says he's a great person. It is just the role I am perceiving him as playing, NOT anything again him, that rubs me the wrong way. Art is provocative, right? Always impressed by Lana and these videos. Love you all!

Lana is the definition of someone who does things for the plot and I love her for it
Some people theorize that Lana is a ghost and that the guy in the music video is the boyfriend that killed her in the Born to Die video and that she’s still haunting him.
Oooooh that would be really cool if so!
damn that's deep af !
I think West Coast (the song) is primarily about her falling in love with California. This song is on Ultraviolence, her first Californian, west coast inspired album and I do think that in this song she's more in love with the west coast than she is with her lover.
I think the two tempos and two men archetypes represent both sides of Lana : young indie simple AND old sophisticated Hollywood
Exactly thats my take as well. In the chorus she says she is on a balcony and asks her baby to move so she can see the view of the city, in which she is much more in love
OMG YES.
You should react to Cola by Lana if you don't know this song. You'll love it 😁
I'M LIVING FOR THIS
don't lie to her, poor baby
ur evil
Omg 😂😂
this was one of my favorites for real.
If you want a trippy video from her, you should react to "Love"!
Yasss
100%
Freak >>>>>😍😍
and freak!
YES I love that mv
I think you're spot on about the Queens of Saigon line, like a queen of nothing, or an imagined queen. Love how knowledgable you are, you pick up on things that many others might skim over. (Also totally relate to the discomfort of seeing Lana with an old guy lol)
Love this reaction and and can’t wait for you to react to Summertime Sadness. It’s such a heavy music video, the visual are absolutely stunning but the fact Lana wrote it about her best friend and what happened to her over the summer is heartbreaking.
She’s probably gonna judge the gay relationship in there too…
@@Methswans Wtf? Shes a terapist, shes obviously open to all that.
@@Methswans what gay relationship lol?
@@turalhuseynov7830 the video portrays a gay couple rip local
@@Methswans I doubt that. It probably portrays a friendship. Even though Lana has never mentioned that, it can be about a friend who committed suicide or just passed away.
So, I've seen a few things about this music video, and if you kind of watch it in context of a few of the other ones, it tells a story. Starting with Born to Die, then Blue Jeans, then this one. I'm pretty sure that the young guy in the three is the same guy. If you look at the older guy, it looks like the young guy, just aged up. In BTD, he kills her at the end. In Blue Jeans, she's haunting him in the pool, singing about how she'll love him until the end of time. Like even death isn't enough to end her love for him. In this video, it's a duality. You see her joking and having fun with her 'baby' and her 'sweet boy.' When she goes under water, it seems to be a metaphor for her life on the West Coast now- like she's here for good, living the glamorous life, perpetually stuck in time as the Hollywood starlet that she 'died' as, as opposed to when she's with the younger version of him, laughing and having fun.
A few things to note. She says "I can see my sweet boy swaying, he's crazy y Cubano como yo my love, on the balcony and I'm singing 'move baby move baby, I'm in love'" like... swaying and move, saying keep on dancing, I'm in love with you. But also saying "move out of the way, I'm on the balcony and I want to see the city I'm in love with." I also like your take on Queens of Saigon, and I do think it could also be a metaphor for these women who move to Hollywood and have everything about them changed, like how Saigon was renamed. Apparently, if you go to Ho Chi Minh City now, if you call it Saigon, it's looked at as kind of an affectionate name that some locals still used. Saigon was seen as the Paris of the East. It was known to be so beautiful. It speaks of humanity's obsession with being beautiful, with changing yourself like they changed the city. And now you're beautiful, sure, but it's empty, because YOU don't exist anymore.
This is so good! Especially the water analysis 👌
Waouh that’s an excellent analysis. I love it.
You’re one of the only people I’ve seen put together the Saigon reference! You never miss!
Honestly west coast is one of my most favorite songs of all time the production of that chorus could kill.
I'm dying for you reacting to Brooklyn Baby!!
Definitley do Off to the Races! Underrated Lana song
Yeeeees
i think she has already
Yes!
we need a compilation of your eyes rolling...
Hi Mere! This videos goes on with Born to Die, Blue Jeans and Shades of Cool. The fast parts are about when they were together, memories. The slow parts, in the car, is just this man that is old now, imagining her beside him and how things would've been if she still there. The last part, with the fire, seems she's on hell. The last image is her in the water, so it's all connected. 😉
Yessa
i would love to see your reaction to either "sweet" or "sweet carolina" - theyre rlly heartwarming songs of hers that could be palette cleansers for the reasons lana songs youve listened to
I think she has a video reacting to “Sweet”
I think queen of Saigon is a play on Saigon (cinnamon). Cinnamon is a slang term for cocaine. Lana references cinnamin as a drug metaphor many times in her discography.
That's not what she means when she says queen of Saigon
I always thought of west coast being Lana reflecting on her past relationship.
When she was younger things were fun and she could be wild and go mess around the beach with her boyfriend.
Now she’s older, richer, she’s more glamorous.. but she misses that fun she once had and she’s torn between those two world
Just my theory 😅
The way Mere will gonna lose it when she listen to Cola 🤭🤭
Love this reaction 🤣😭! Also live your bangs!
There definitely is a lot to unpack in her music videos and songs. As a newer Lana listener, I am getting a feeling that I need to listen intentionally to an album to see how it comprehensively speaks. I know Taylor’s albums are like that. I want find all the pieces of the puzzle Lana is giving us! Thanks for sharing this video so I could see it for the first time! Hope you’re feeling good vibes and feeling all the love you’re being sent! 🌼💛
I really love your videos reacting to Lana del Rey. ❤️ Please react to "Is this happiness" or "honeymoon" by Lana. ❣️
I think the “hands are up” might mean he’s surrenders and he’s not resisting her love
She is reflecting on how he looked when she saw him.
I loved the video! I know it seems very different from Lana, but it would be cool to hear your analysis of some Bjork songs. The recent albums have a lot of inspiration from difficult phases she went through, like divorce (Vulnicura), mourning (Fossora), and others are more pluralistic. I particularly like the first albums, especially Homogenic. A hug from Brazil!
Wow, I love Bjork. All is full of love will forever be my fave from her.
I'm dying at your faces 😂😂 hahaahah
sameee xd
The song expresses the difference between passionate and fiery love with a young man and settled love with a mature man.
She tells him that he has music that will stay with him after she leaves him.
Love for the young guy is more passionate, but it won't last. He is surrounded by admirers and cannot devote himself only to her and she understand that.
I would love to see your reaction to some Ethel Cain songs she’s amazing 😁
oh god I will not be ready for those but yes 😭
Watch her short film, Tropico!!
please react to "this is what makes us girls" one of my favs from lana!
you REALLY should do TROPICO!!! Quite long but worth it ❤
Some other artists you should definitely react to are Melanie Martinez and Marina. Their music also has a lot of symbolism, deep meanings and strong feelings
heavyy on marina!!!!! Also Lorde is just amazing
SUMMERTIME SADNESS PLEASE
Old guy is same as the Shades of Cool video. Phil Spector kind of character who shot her. Now her ghost haunts him...
Great reaction ❤️ 🌊
Please do Cola and Off To The Races
High by the beach!
Parliaments are referring to the brand of parliament cigarettes
Please react to Freak by Lana.
PS: you're really pretty
God i loved this and please do consider doing off to the races or tracks from Paradise! Cola is so good and i d love your thoughts about it
The bangs look great queenie
regarding the e-cigarette, the age of smokers are getting younger comparing to the traditional ones because there are so many flavours and so many cute and cool designs. now they can also mix drugs in it. you smoke you ruin your life and people who breathe your smoke. i mean when we go outside and we breathe AQI of, say, 72 (pm2.5), it's already like we smoke 2-3 cigarettes. so don't smoke. anyway, thanks for a great reaction.
I love that she smokes in her videos, and she's not ashamed. Society judges those who smoke harshly, but smoking is part of the old Hollywood starlet persona, it's integral. I smoke as well and seeing her do it makes me feel nor so alone .
I Love your reactions. Thank you!
Do “Florida Kilos” pleaseee😊
please react Carmen music video!!!!
It looks like she's talking about two men, as we can see in the music video. But the way I see in the first part, she's talking about the West Coast to someone she cares back home, and in the second part, we can see the appeal to califonia. So I think the old man represents california, Hollywood and old money, and that's what she means when she says she's in love. "On the balcony and I'm saying, move baby, move baby I'm in love", to this person get out of the way so she can see the view. Of course it can be both things, the two men and West and East cost.
React to Carmen by Lana Del Rey please.!!🖤
you should definitely react to carmen and love if you haven’t already! i think they both have mvs so that would be interesting to see ❤
Love your bangs!!
I’d love to see you react to some songs by Halsey and Billie Eilish 💗

Your reaction to another old man LOL 😂
West coast video is sooo random lol lana is do random, she's at the beach with young guys, and then in a car with a old man, and than in a red dress with flames, and suddenly laying on the waves, like, what.
Hi there! I was wondering if you could do videos on the surprise songs Taylor has been doing in her tour ever since announcing her new album ttpd, specially the ones when she announced alternative covers and bonus tracks. They seem to be very related to her breakup and I want to hear your thoughts 😊
Thank you!
u should listen to french restaurant! it's an unreleased song from the born to die sessions that gives a duality to the story she gives in this song
please please please react to thunder, my favorite song by her, it’s so beautiful
I do really like the way you intrepret Lana del rey song, perhaps this song of lana del rey can have other meaning for me, since it was released, i have been listening to this song which is my favorit, and wondering what's the meaning behind every word until i relised that lana may talk about alcahool, since she said I am a lush, a lush means a heavy drinker, and in such a way you can realize she may singing about it and bout herself when she drunk and her love to that
Lana del rey inspired an entire generation of millennials who had no idea what she was talking about. Because Lana’s depiction of the patriarchy, of femininity, of the male gaze and of whiteness is actually pretty profound. Her entire discography and everything involved was designed to portray feminine delusion. She’s basically expressing how girlhood and womanhood through a patriarchal lens, makes you wanna d!e. All of her themes about living fast and dying young and romanticizing mundanity is all just a commentary on the actual existential crisis that it is to be a woman-because within a patriarchal lens, life as a woman is short, your life as a woman will end about 75% sooner than any man.
And thats why she has never veered away from her vintage Americana aesthetic. It represents the fact that we’re stuck, we’re stuck in time.
The main things that lana del rey gets criticized for is that she romanticizes mental illness and that she’s just writing sad music for white women. But if thats the case then white women should listen to her because shes also narrating the attachment to the patriarchy and the addiction to her victimhood and to her misery. There is a reason why lana only uses black men and mediocre white men who are sometimes even three times her age in her music videos. Because i think the point of Lana’s art is that you’re supposed to walk away from it kind of disgusted. I could be wrong but i think lana has always been incredibly self aware about what it is exactly that she is portraying. I had no idea how much this woman had influenced me but when i started to snap out of it and come to and start to recognize my experience and my environment, I was MAD at Lana Del Rey. And it makes sense that i was mad at LDR because she was literally depicting the enemy of my life of every womans life. And she had started to add a little bit of commentary like the last video she did with Jon Batiste was pretty insightful. Anyway i do think that in this environment of modern feminism Lana Del Rey will come back in a big way. I think the reason why she was so misunderstood is that she was just a little bit too ahead of her time.
You're way off! Just so wrong
Tired of commenting that I Love your hair 😭🫶
How i feel smoking while watching this😂
she needs to react to Cola and Carmen
I think if you would like Lana you should also react to Ethel cain songs from her album “ preachers daughter” 👀
you NEED to react to tropico I BEG YOU
mere you should check out if you lie down with me from the blue banisters album. its my favorite and i would love to hear what you think about it
Lana intimated about the move, being with one boyfriend, while fantasizing about another more mature love interest in Hollywood . . . Being in one situation, while looking forward to another . . . It could have analogies OUTSIDE romance . . . I think it is her Carly Simon's Anticipation . . . being in one situation while your mind is in a fantasy.
watercolor eyes reaction please
Do “Cola” and “Carmen” please.
❤❤❤
With Lana, it's all fun and games...until she boinks your "dad"!😆
Can you do a rection to "Thunder" from Blue Banisters
i think that's the last video with an old man in it, you're free now lol please react to carmen! 🫶🏻
you need react to beautiful by lana
Please react to “paradise is very fragile” by lana
Thank you for talking about the vapes they are soooo bad and more addictive than cigarettes
Please do Brooklyn baby🙏

…your issues with older men are becoming annoying, people have different taste…YOU ARE A THERAPIST…your clients probably watch your videos too…what if they like older men or women? They are gonna assume that u judge them….if you don’t get it then try to understand it or stay quiet…and anyway here Lana does it for the plot, the video tells the “what if” story of the blue jeans/born to die music videos…((maybe ad this n the description “inferiority complex”))
do you think you could react to a Melanie Martinez song?
Please, react to Lady Gaga’s song someday… Songs like 911, replay, dope and many others have amazing lyrics to be analyzed!

It would mean the world to me if you reacted to or even just listened to “bigger” by Beyoncé. The lyrics are incredibly wise. It’s almost as if the song is one musical affirmation spell. Genius hasn’t dissected the lyrics so I came to you lols ☺️
Please, react to "Carmen" by LDR!!!
Please do a lyric video reaction to ‘1000 Doves’ by Lady Gaga. It’s such a powerful song and I’d love to hear your thoughts on it. There is a piano version with alternate lyrics.

she already did!
Men you are really disgusted by this man to the point that you can't separate fiction from reality. Even knowing that he's a super cool guy and that Lana loves him, you can't even see him.
I wonder how you would react if one of your clients/patients told you that they like older man or woman?!?! What would you say? would you behave this way? Would you feel disgusted just by the fact that that attraction exists?!
I just think you have to work on that because the rejection is almost uncontrollable even knowing that this is fiction.
That’s exactly what I commented too….like this is so inappropriate…she has no respect for people’s preferences, I guess because of some personal issues with the topic¿ I mean that behavior 3:04 is unacceptable -girl has issues
@@Methswans yeah maybe something happen. I hope not.
Typically, a therapist's job is not to judge you, but help you understand the choices you make

Pls react to Nicki minaj the pinkpirnt movie
Didn't Lana, way back in the beginning, have some sort of relationship with Harvey Weinstein? I know. I know. Maybe this is the older man figure she is representing here? She is one way with the older man and more free and expressive with the younger man. This video is especially creepy with the older guy, I think she knows the fixation is not a good one, hence the "fire" she's in at the end. She has a desire for men she knows are not good for her. "He hit me and it felt like a kiss." Maybe this is why she dies so often at the end of the videos. They kill her literally and figuratively. I don't know, but I love her!
Yes. It’s a theme in a lot of her songs.
The old man provides comfort, Hollywood access, money and the good life.
The young man provides passion and love.
But ultimately Lana wants to sing. So West Coast it is.

she vapes and smokes cigarettes now 😅😂
