Many people believe that the symbolism of the song blue banisters is that her use of colors match the healing of a bruise. The banisters go from blue to green and grey, just like a bruise as it heals, which absolutely blew my mind.
i also thought the painting was the main metaphor, where a man came along and "painted" over her and her personality, and even when her friends try to help her heal from the aftermath, she still is blue underneath, and can never change that/the effect the relationship had on her
@@aidenalexander5243 I agree with Aiden
isnt that a reference to rain? blue is fading with time, due to rain it creates colors such grey and green.
@@ezrealxshsh5460 but it's not fading, it's being painted those colours by her 'sisters'
Lana is on another level
In ‘beautiful’ she’s actually referencing Picasso’s blue period and how without his depression there wouldn’t be the beautiful art that came out of his blue period. I literally am obsessed with that track. The more you listen to this album the more dots you start to connect and it becomes even better somehow.
Totally. The filler tracks are so in depth. Such a good record
Plus the blue period is not just a sad moment, but the real period of time when all of the Picasso art were overwhelmed by the color blue
@@luizfonseca7439 Yes, that is why it’s called his blue period. Most people already know that. But that’s not the point Lana is trying to make in this song. She’s focusing more on how without Picasso’s depression, his blue period wouldn’t even exist. To create the beautiful works in the blue period, Picasso needed to be who he was, a very sad person. “I can turn blue into something beautiful”
Its not rocket science hehe, she literally sayd that in the song, its not a metaphor. I actually thought that verse in beautiful is very cliche. Liked the piano in the song though.
@@robertomartinez4166 yeah, I didn’t say it was a metaphor? She’s just making a comparison. Idk what you’re getting at the these comments, like they’ve all been irrelevant.

THANK YOU
Thanks ✨🙌🛐
Thank you.
thx beautiful person ♡♡♡
please if you have time, dive into her discography!!! nfr and ultraviolence are my favs
I will especially after this 🙂
@@MichaelBeveraggi brilliant :) keep up the great vids they are also so fun to chill out to
@@MichaelBeveraggi ultraviolence is her second album and it’s very grunge, soft rock influenced. so so good!
Honeymoon, BTD, and NFR are my favorites 💙
nfr e chemtrails 😍🤩😍🤩
Her album "Honeymoon" is a whole vibe
It’s my favourite next to ultraviolence but some fans really hate it for whatever reason. Maybe it’s not poppy enough for some?
that album is my dealer >_>
@@anniem251 its a lil too weedy, very slowmo/astralprojectile vibe hahahahah
It's my favorite Lana's album 😍
This is probably the most intellectual reaction I’ve seen to music in a while
I was thinking the same! He picked up on nearly everything on a first listen
I KNOW you’re going to love NFR
Dude YES!!! incredible album
Happiness is a Butterfly… Cinnamon Girl.. BRO
This was the best reaction I’ve seen to this album! You picked up on so much lyrically and sonically at the same time in a first listen, it was impressive! Nectar of the Gods is about heroin, not weed. It’s about her always wanting to become a singer and make it in Hollywood, but there is a lot of darkness and addiction in that crowd. The famous LA people are the gods and the nectar is heroin. It also reminds me of one of her old songs Gods and Monsters thematically.
you got it right: sweet carolina is a song made for her little sister chuck (caroline), who had a baby recently and was dealing with postpartum depression (baby blues)
violets are something she’s known for as holding of high importance. her poetry book is literally called “violet bent backwards over the grass”. she associates it with her independence, and her individual persona. by saying that she was made to trade her violets for roses, (roses being a symbol of love), she nods toward her personality and independence she was forced to forego to be with her lover. and now she’s falling back in love with herself (and the streets), it’s like she’s reclaiming her violets.
absolutely love the reaction btw!!!
And, of course, violets are blue.
@@GreetingsFromBlackwoodFarm oh of course. a lana symbol would not be complete without reference to blue lmao
Violets are actually her favorite flowers
I saw someone comment on another video that violets grow in the wild and roses grow in gardens which is also a beautiful metaphor and it stuck with me a lot.
Violets represent her wild nature
not sure what the significance of "Dealer" is but she's actually extremely close to her father and if I'm not mistaken, he's plays piano on several of these songs. he definitely plays for "Baby Blues". but to my understanding, she isn't very close to her mother. one you listen to the rest of her discography, you'll see how with each album its as if she peels back another layer and Blue Banisters is definitely her most raw and real album. she keeps the same theme but executes it differently each time. This is honestly a masterpiece and im happy to hear you appreciate her art and all that she puts into it
she is close with her father rn but like years ago her father took her mothers side ….
She is close to her father now but that’s a very recent thing, like 2/3 years, before that they weren’t really close
Your interpretation of this album was so insightful and in parts made me consider certain songs differently, even if I’d listened to them on repeat countless times before. As a devoted Lana fan, I have to say her best albums are ultraviolence, honeymoon and this record. They sort of lift my spirit out of my body in an way that is incomparable to anything else
Hard agree on everything!
One thing I noticed Violets for Roses is that in "the girls are running around with their masks off and it makes me so happy", the mask reference most obviously points at the pandemic/present moment, but also seems like a double entendre for the metaphoric interpretation of a mask, such as "putting on" a mask that hides your true self, which makes sense given the theme of the song. Lyrical genius once again!
32:36 she has a song with stevie nicks in her album Lust for Life, i’m pretty sure you would love it. hope you listen to the whole album one day. Amazing interpretations, i loved the video
“Dealer” is supposedly a conversation between an addict and his lover or close one, he’s saying don’t reach out for me don’t call my dealer that u know I’m close to (cause he’s using a lot), then continuing to point what explains the downfall by mentioning his absent father
Then don’t call my doctor he can’t heal my spirit like, (therapy hasn’t help him that much) or like he’s beyond help now.
and Lana on the other hand is trying to help and even spill the dealer’s number closer to the end of the song which means she wants to reach out for him even though he’s given her a hard time
That’s my interpretation of the song so far, and it’s my favorite one of her in the recent albums
You are giving us soooo much variety with different artists, thank you for reaching Miss Lana too... you've got a new fan💞✨
I highly recommend you check out her other albums too (especially the masterpiece that is Norman F-ing Rockwell), I promise you'll love the experience
I appreciate you Hayley 💜💫 and I plan too!
Lana is the OG of the Bille, Lorde, Halsey just an inspiration. Lana is just pure art !
Lorde came almost the same year as Lana, The Love Club EP was released in 2012 the same year Lana released BTD. The EP includes Royals, the single was then reworked for Pure Heroine which was released the next year. So I don't think Lana inspired Lorde, they can be both categorized as Alternative tho.
@@paduanicoc.7019BTD was released in February and The Love Club in November. The same year, yes, but with a significant time gap.
@@rithond still they aren't sound the same, and the point here is Lorde and Lana came in the scene in the same time.
please do all her albums in order!!! she has many different sounds depending on the album & you can also see her growth
I can’t wait for you to explore her previous albums. I feel they’re all so different from each other but still amazing works.
lana is the queen of metaphors her songs can have 73939 different meanings and i love that so much
In beautiful the blue period is a time where picasso painted with a lot of blue after his friend committed suicide, so shes asking them to let her be sad and turn it into art
love that omg
living legend is about her friend jane, and cherry blossom is a song to lanas (future) daughter.
sweet carolina is about her sister:) it was written by lana, her father, and her sister. while her father plays the piano on the track. (her sister, chuck, also had a baby recently so “baby blues” could be talking about postpartum)
can’t wait to see you react to more of lana!!❤️
what cherry blossom is about Lizzy Grant, her old self
@@ihsmmiallt it’s about both, the majority of the song is about Lizzy Grant and her childhood and kinda wishing she had that comfort of mommy being there for her and having someone you can trust. The last verse is a direct message to a potential future daughter Lana might have and Lana will offer her the comfort she wish she had when she was a child
Cherry blossom is about miscarriage, she’s singing to a no born child
so excited to watch this!! been waiting for it haha. hope you do more lana reactions soon too!:))
Hahahah your reaction to Dealer was my reaction to it on first listen 😂 It was initially supposed to be on Chemtrails and she said it was just her "yelling her head off" and then it got cut from Chemtrails and added to this album. So going in, I knew a little of what to expect but it still absolutely shook me lol. I still don't know how the hell she screamed that chorus but did it so musically and beautifully?? Only Lana could pull that off haha. I'm sure someone else here has pointed it out, but the singer on the verses was Miles Kane from the band the Last Shadow Puppets with Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys). He cowrote Dealer with Lana and he AND Alex cowrote Thunder with her. Also, I'm a huge Lana fan and love all her albums, but honestly one of my fav things she's ever done is that badass one-two-punch of Dealer and Thunder so I'm so glad you liked both of them! 🙃
I LOVE watching your reaction videos, your feedback for each artist and how in depth you go, about what you like with each song is so intriguing and helpful to observe and have pointed out as an audience. Thank you for doing this :) big fan xxx
Lana fans come here just to see the reaction on DEALER.
Me lol
I love dealer so much. I seem to love anything from her that sounds messy / raw 😂
Yes!!
OMGGGG WHEN THE ALBUM CAME OUT AND I DEADASS THOUGHT TO MYSELF "I HOPE MICHAEL MAKES A VIDEO REACTING TO THIS" AND YOU DID :) anyways, had to comment before I watch, but I loooooooove your videos
I deadass got you ❤️❤️
@@MichaelBeveraggi you will def love these two albums: Lust for Life (IT HAS RAPPERS IN IT BTW) and NFR :)
I just wanna say this video made me happy. You made some very specific points about a few songs that nobody I know noticed at first and I love that. Thank you!
OMG I requested this!!!! Thank you so much. You just made my day 😭❤️
🤍🖤🤍
I just woke up and I'm so happy you listened to this. Will watch later after my class but Thanks 🖤 Have a good day
My favorite review/reaction so far, that I just couldn’t help but subscribe! Loved this, really looking forward to you listening to the rest of her work 🤍🙏🏼
Thank you Anna 💜💜
Love the setup! Great video ❤️❤️
Muahz
yesss i’ve been waiting for this reaction
Stayed the whole length of the video. Love your reaction so much. I was excited when I saw your video. Please do some more Lana. I appreciate how much you appreciate her songs and vocals. Other reaction videos that I saw from other youtubers were quite superficial. Looking forward for Normal F*cking Rockwell!
And I watched your video without skipping any part of it, including ads. Very beautiful. Thank you!
I like that you're listening to Lana, she's one of my favorite artists and I love your channel. You should check her Ultraviolence album!!
Aaaah I just noticed your CALM vinyl in the background 🥰🥰🥰 We love when people have taste!
Your reaction to Dealer and Sweet Carolina, it’s what I was asking for✨✨
Listened to the Album earlier today. Now watching this.. you have pretty much same reactions as I did to each track. Enjoyed watching
The outro in If you lie down with me is phenomenal. I liked that old jazz sounding and instantly thought that i need more Lana's songs in such a music style
Been waiting for you to react to her songs! She’s truly magical! Her album honeymoon was PERFECTION
You are so wholesome I love your interpetations!!!
Man...I. Love. So. HARD.
The way you just DIVE into anything you listen to, and how you perceive so many details into the songs. It's like therapy listening to you talking about them. Always a treasure anytime i spend with you.
Yasss! One of my absolute fave artists despite some controversies.
PLEASE GIVE US AN UPDATE IN A WEEK TO SEE IF ANYTHING’S CHANGED!! LOVED THIS REACTION SO MUVH
Thank you!! You're the first listener (that I've heard, at least) that was able to get the real, deeper meaning of Text Book. It's a song about her life in some aspects, yes, but it's also a statement on America and trying to rewrite the history of the bad parts. The biggest indicator is when she says, "And there you were with shining stars, standing blue with open arms" as she's literally talking to the "flag." Another interesting note is during the chorus when she says, "You've got a Thunderbird, my daddy had one, too" as her trying to connect the younger generations with the older ones to try and change this country. Text Book is probably the best written song on the album. It just works on so many different levels.
it would be great to see you do some of her earlier albums just to see the massive amounts of growth and how many genres she has successfully built herself up in
I love how you review it all specially not knowing her background, great job
Norman Fucking Rockwell is my favorite album of all time!!! The lyrics and melodies are absolutely unmatched.
Great reaction! Can't wait for the rest of her albums, especially Ultraviolence and Honeymoon, my favorite ones.
Love your reactions you get her lyrics so well you will love her other stuff
Start her discography from the beginning. BORN TO DIE - PARADISE - ULTRAVIOLENCE- HONEYMOON and etc. this 4 projects are my favs and I think best quartet of albums. u will see how she transformed ,how her music transformed and amazing variety her music has. there are HIP-HOP., ROCK, POP, INDIE, CLASSIC, COUNTRY...
Yes! Don't forget the AKA Lizzy Grant album 😊
This album is just incredible. great at first listen and even better over time!
Always love your reactions! The other voice on Dealer is Miles Kane, who co-wrote both Dealer and Thunder. It’s kind of annoying that she hasn’t listed him as a feature, I’ve watched a few reactions now and nobody knows who it is so he isn’t getting the credit that he should be
you're gonna LOVE norman fucking rockwell! it's so dreamy & cinematic with lots of strings and truly has that feel of a timeless record. okay to be honest all her music feels timeless, but NFR has something special and i'm sure many people would agree! and cinnamon girl (track 7) is one of my fav lana songs ever! can't wait for you to react :))
I just discovered you today (and stayed up to watch your reaction despite me having class in 5 hours lol) but I hope you react to her older work, they all have their own specific sound but nonetheless all sound great IMO.
no i literally need you to react to born to die-the paradise edition & ultraviolence. that era of lana is such a staple in my life and the music is untouchable
This is one of my favorite reaction of yours!! NFR is a must 🤍
I like how you are excited to listen to cherry blossom again when editing. It is my favourite and I wish to play this song in my wedding.
PLEASE react to her whole discography! Can't wait till you react to my fav album 'Honeymoon' . And I recommend you to start from her beginnings to up to date, you'll understand more about her
You have a new subscriber btw
Sweet Carolina is for her little sister Caroline who's also the "Chucky" she references on Blue Banisters. Caroline just had her first child, a daughter named Phoenix, a little while ago and she was afraid she'd struggle with postpartum depression (baby blues). So Lana wrote this song with her and their dad and a friend named Alana (who's in the Blue Banisters music video with Lana and Chuck). This damn song made me bawl my eyes out on first listen cuz it's so sweet 😭💙 Also, I saw someone somewhere say she went full Joni Mitchell in it vocally and I totally agree! Especially since she's been so open about her admiration for Joni and referenced her in Dance Till We Die and covered For Free for Chemtrails.
You're my favourite reaction of this album! Blue Banisters is a very genius song, by the way. I think she means that the man who always came to her would make her blue (paint her banisters blue), but she's done doing that, thus she is now painting them green and grey with her friends, trying not to think about this guy. It was probably a long distance thing, coming every may, or every time it was summer and sunny, for vacation or something. Or maybe it was simply an on and off relationship where the guy made promises but she always kept being sad even though she loved him. She had to understand that even though she was his 'muse', and the love was intense, it was more important to be happy, even if she had no intensity (black Russian poetry). I LOVE Lana's lyrics. She is the best lyricist of this era, in my opinion. And Blue Banisters is one of the best she's written.
I would love to see your reactions to her other work.
I personally enjoy Born to Die - The Paradise Edition: Special version (I know those are also separate albums, but I originally purchased them as a one whole album so that’s how I enjoy listening to it - since Spotify also has them paired that way ) and Norman Fucking Rockwell!
First introduction to your reaction, and it is growing on me. 11:35 priceless!
norman f*cking rockwell is such a masterpiece, you def should react to it. from lyricism to production the album is incredible!
Amazing.Thank yu for that
Lana’s strength is her passion to continue exploring Americana and remaining as honest about these unrequited feelings that I’m sure are painful to relive. It makes me happy to see the wide range of music you cover so no everyone feels left out of the mix. I would love to see you react/ review Snoh Aalegra’s or James Blake’s’ discography.
YOU NEED TO GET INTO HER DISCOGRAPHY
Such a good review can’t wait for you to review her previous records !
one think about the "f you, kevin" line is that throught the song she tells her sister that this song will outlive them both, so that is basically also an "f you, kevin" that's going to outlive them.
since you liked the interlude, "born to die" and "lust for life" have a lot of hip hop upbeat influence in them plus the poetry.
I'd die for you to listen to her discography!! It's truly incredible
it's the way she makes her distorted voice sound like a guitar instrumental 🥺
I haven't even listened to the album yet, but I'm watching this haha
ok you should react to her entire discography
I love this reaction, you really went into this album open minded. 👌
She is for us the leaving legend! And you know guys she is out of this world she is an angel💕💕💖💖💖
my favorite album reaction. I loved this album so much and it only gets better every listen. check ultraviolence and honeymoon
if you lie down with me is so perfect
Please go through her whole discography trust me… you will enjoy it and also you for sure will gain so many new followers
27:31 In Dealer Lana sings with Miles Kane. And Thunder was co-produced by The Last Shadow Puppets, the band of Miles with Alex Turner. I love both songs!
I don't know if you take recommendations, but I think you should check out The Happy Fits. They are one of my favorite bands ever! Some good songs are Dirty Imbecile and Hold Me Down
I cant believe you've only heard Chemtrails 😢 Please go through every album + unreleased songs 🤞😂
This album is so beautiful and genius !
Beautiful reaction!! I would love for you to listen to either of Hozier's albums (there are 2). They are phenomenal and I think you'd love them :)
I love this album as well.
Do Norman next, please!!!!
the interlude is disgustingly good, that was my exact expression when i first heard and when i heard it for the 30th time today
Blue Banisters is about an unfulfilled promise a man made to her but then her sisters came and painted banisters for her and every-time a man leaves her, her sisters come to paint them.
“Everytime it turns to may, all my sisters fly to me, to paint”
(Notice how her album cover shows unpainted banisters? That’s why. The promise is unfulfilled. He never came back to paint them)
Black Bathing Suit is referencing how media’s backlash works in her favour in the end and also making sure we know it’s all karmic lineage. She has been unfairly cancelled and she is just setting the record straight.
Also, she’s not close to her mother but she loves her dad.
Living Legend is about her friend (maybe mentor) Jane!
Sweet Carolina: it’s about her sister who just had a baby. She wrote it with her dad and sister actually.
Note: Lana debuted before Lorde. Lana’s style is the signature.
In the end, it seems like she is left longing for a boyfriend and love and her banisters are still unpainted. This is the jest I get after listening and analyzing. The album is predominantly about heartbreak, her perception in the media and her love for her family.
"Note: Lana debuted before Lorde. Lana’s style is the signature." Something is going on which makes me happy Blue Banisters is the first album by Lana which I bought.
The one who plays the piano on last song, SWEET CAROLINA, is Lana's father; Rob Grant. And what's amazing about SWEET CAROLINA record is: It's only ONE take! And that 1 take is the final result ❤️❤️
Please continue to dive into her discography. Her lyrics and the evolution of her songs and productions is pretty amazing, bless thy ears! Also Lana, Lorde and Taylor Swift work with the same producer and song writer, Jack. That's the reason some their songs have similarities.
Please listen to some of her earlier work, Lust for life and Born to Die for that hip hop element and Norman F---- Rockwell is my favorite project from her.
We are dying to watch your NFR reaction
Lana takes you to an alternatively another world
That one dislike didn’t drink coffee today and opened YT just because they can
Everyone’s reaction to Lana on Dealer is so fkin perfect hahah
YOU GOTTA DO NORMAN. And Ultraviolence. Honestly. Two of my favorites, and NFR is probably my top 3 favorite full albums of any artist ever.
Funny you mention Stevie: she's featured on a track on Lust for Life (her most hip hop influenced album). The album polarizes the fanbase for sure.
I won't lie I only subscribed because I want you to dive in all of Lana's albums, each one has a different vibe and style and she's just criminally underrated and misjudged. So I hope you give it a chance.
the real and my favorite bb reaction
No one is noticing that the black bathing suit IS physically meant in some contexts. In the first prechorus she says her heart is a temple too, and it’s quarantine and she’s alone, so she did eat some feelings up. And i love that and think it’s so beautiful and relatable
React to her best and first album Born to die
Lol this is the second reaction I've seen where someone referenced Breaking Bad to point out that lilies of the valley aren't exactly ideal 😅 For real though, I LOVE Violets for Roses! I love the fact that she correlated the end of lockdown with the end of this relationship. The song has the general meaning that the dude made her change but I think more specifically there might be a connection to "roses are red, violets are blue" since blue is the color of sadness and red is typically the color of love and passion. Coming right after Beautiful, it's like her saying that the guy eventually wore her down and made her change some of her intrinsic sadness (violets) in order to obtain a relationship with him (roses). That's my interpretation anyway lol.
