This monolog and song bring me to tears every time I hear them. I'm 40 and I fought really hard to stay alive and have a stable life. But this reminds me of her. Her as in me. She kept me alive and I look back and miss myself. Life is stable but it will never feel as right as the streets did.
I was in the winter of my life And the men that 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 Substained me and my only real happy times. I was a singer, not a very popular one, Who one had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet - But upon an unfortunate series of events Saw those dreams dashed And divided like a millions 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 it's like to seek safety I In other people, For home to be wherever you lie your head. I was always an unusual girl, My mother told me I had a chameleon soul. No morall 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 that I didn't plan For it to turn out this was, I'd be lying - Because I was born to be the other woman. I belong 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 I couldn't even talk about - And pushed me to a nomatic point Of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me. 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 your darkest fantasies? Have you created a life for yourself where you're free to experience them? I have! I am fucking crazy, but I am free!
I’m a person who tries not to cry in front of people. I tend to cry alone when I’m going to sleep. And this beautifully thoughtful song. I can’t help but not cry every time I listen it.Because it is just so beautiful. This is a master piece. This is fucking art. This is actual fucking music. She is someone who should never be ignored when she pops up in your recommendations list. If you do scroll past her. You are for sure missing out. You are missing out on a fucking legend. Who surely knows what the true meaning of music really is. Who has the most beautiful voice you could ever imagine. She could be different from what you normally listen to. She sure was for me at first. But now she is all I listen to. She is the definition of beauty and pure talent.
im seriously crying im on the point of breaking down that how much my life sucks but this makes me so sad but it's soo beautiful, lana you know how to write a good song
She’s talking about truth freedom. Literally she’s like an angel ... in the wrong planet, dimension. She’s a more advanced type of human being. She has evolve great !! She wish we all could find freedom and live life as it is , and not the way we do... thank you Lana .

I love this song very much I miss being shirtless and being with friends or high asf I miss making $$$ back in the day riding bikes crashing in bushes haha
IDGAF if camila is copying (which she barely is) she bout to blow tf up again with her new singles coming out but don’t get me wrong I love Lana too🤷♀️
Her wedding vows will be out of this world.
P R I N C E S S man I agree
I mean she was married b4
here after her engagement lmao
yo shes engaged
Real
am I the only one out here that has this beautifully memorized by heart?
Haha what…I don't have it memorized 😅
I don’t...but I’m trying😅
I have to try!
i used to, i used this for a monologue presentation at school before 😅
These lines hit my mind more than marijuana ❤
I could listen to this monologue for the rest of my life, and I wouldn't get bored.
It's so beautiful.
welcome to 2023
are you still listening to it?
'Who belonged to no one
Who belonged to everyone
Who had nothing
Who wanted everything'
She's so real for that.
this monologue has entranced me from the first time I hear it on the first day this video came out in 2012.
she really needs to write a book or make a movie
Debra-Ann Walker technically she did make a movie: tropico, but it's only a half hour long
DaisyQueenOfFlowers that was the best half hour of my life honestly
She's writing a poetry book 💜
Her book of poetry is coming this year - it's called Violets Bent Backwards Over The Grass
Update 2020: 2 new poetry books coming!
This shaped me growing up and I resonate with these words deeply.
This monolog and song bring me to tears every time I hear them. I'm 40 and I fought really hard to stay alive and have a stable life. But this reminds me of her. Her as in me. She kept me alive and I look back and miss myself. Life is stable but it will never feel as right as the streets did.
So proud of you!!
I cry everytime I listen to this
citoyennedumonde0 me too 😢
Same.... ❤
this is my favourite bible verse
😭😭
😂
alright. let me just hit the replay button for the 689th time.
I was in the winter of my life
And the men that 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
Substained me and my only real happy times.
I was a singer, not a very popular one,
Who one had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet -
But upon an unfortunate series of events
Saw those dreams dashed
And divided like a millions 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 it's like to seek safety I
In other people,
For home to be wherever you lie your head.
I was always an unusual girl,
My mother told me I had a chameleon soul.
No morall 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 that I didn't plan
For it to turn out this was, I'd be lying -
Because I was born to be the other woman.
I belong 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 I couldn't even talk about -
And pushed me to a nomatic point
Of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me.
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 your darkest fantasies?
Have you created a life for yourself where you're free to experience them?
I have! I am fucking crazy, but I am free!
THANK YOU❤️

Excuse me while I die of perfectness! Thank you so much!
Love that she makes all our funeral logs for us.

Her voice ❤
Anyone else know this by heart?
Anyone thats been a runaway, or homeless knows that this is what its like. The words I mean. She captured the feeling.

Love it
Love Lana❤️🔥💐
I wish she was my mom -_-.

Beautiful but sad 😢
Camilla really tried it
