ALBUM REACTION: Lust For Life - Lana Del Rey 

The fact that this album is consistently considered her weakest just shows the quality of her writing and discography. What a stunning piece of work

glossary for watching this video

This is probably one of Lana’s strangest albums, it’s 1/3 love/break up album, 1/3 socio-political statements, and 1/3 life manifesto. Such a strange mix of topics and I’ve really grown to love it over last years anniversary!

If you guys noticed, in the 2nd verse, she says “For * and for *”. In a live performance, she actually says, “For Amy and for Whitney, and all my birds of paradise.”

Get Free is literally the welcome to Norman F***ing Rockwell! That's why she's leaving the black (the darkness of her other art projects -as she said in the begining, her manifesto- like born to die, ultraviolence and honeymoon) and moving to the blues, the sound of the beach, Venice-California, the water (the color blue is an important theme in the first track of NFR as well). It isn't curious she used lyrics from "Ride", her own song on Paradise, and decided to say goodbye to that "Old Lana" using the same methaphore, but with a change in it. And that's important detail, Change and Heroin are two songs that make Get Free with a sense, she's not the same cause she really changed, and the conection with drugs is perfect because in the last track she sang "for _ and for _", and that people are Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston, who couldn't have the time for change their lives, so Lana did it for them. That's why I really love Get Free and Lust For Life as an album, is an underrated gem but probably the most important record on her discography, Lana is a new woman since LFL and the album cover is a proof of that cause is the first one where she's smiling, also is the first where she's diving into a politic sight (NFR and Blue Banisters do that too, so blue is definitely her color I guess) 💙

3 lanas albuns? HEAVEN GIRLS, SO EXCITED

abel and lana always make MAGIC together, his “stargirl interlude” featuring her is really good too!! you guys should fathom

Its never been confirmed but a lot of fans think she sang ‘white mustang’ so it also sounds like she’s saying ‘why am i staying?’ !! x another amazing reaction, cant wait for more and breakdowns of all the albums eventually!

Honeymoon is such an underrated album. I'm so excited for you to check it out. "Terence loves you" is one of my favourite Lana songs ever.

She is releasing a country album called "Lasso" this year!

I’m so sorry I’m going to keep saying it again for the people in the back but we neeeeeed a Preacher’s Daughter reaction loves. Whenever you’re ready of course! It’s a f*cked up album

I´ve never clicked this fast on a video before! So excited for more Lana reactions! LFL is such a comfort album for me. Really hoping for Ultraviolence soon!

Did you know that 12 years ago, on September 26th The Weeknd discovered Lana Del Rey through tumblr, and was the first one to ask BBC Radio 1 to put 'Video Games' on their playlist. In fact in an interview Abel admits that when he met Lana, he felt that he had found the girl who was writing in her songs, that is, I found her muse for her songs. The Weeknd and Lana met in 2010, the year in which the Weeknd launched "Trilogy", and it is seen that they became very good friends, so much so that the voice of a woman who sounds in "Lonely Star" is inspired by Lana del Rey and it should be clarified that Lana helped a producer the album, "BBTM".On the surface, The Weeknd and Del Rey might seem like very different artists. After all, The Weeknd’s music hip hop and soul sound feels more in line with someone like Ariana Grande. Meanwhile, Del Rey’s career lives much more in line with rock-infused pop. However, the two artists are much more similar than the genres of their music might reveal.For instance, The Weeknd and Del Rey both often capture a dream-like quality in their songs. In addition, their lyrical content dips into dark territory, such as their preoccupation with drug references. So it makes sense they would work well together. And so they have. Beginning with The Weeknd’s 2015 single “Prisoner,” they’ve worked together on five songs.Although the Grammy Awards have yet to bestow a trophy to Del Rey, her work certainly makes a huge impact on The Weeknd. In fact, the “Blinding Lights” singer once revealed just how vital she is to his own music. In a 2015 interview with Pitchfork, The Weeknd explained the interconnected nature of Del Rey’s music and his own. “Me and Lana have been friends for a long time. I’ve inspired her. She’s inspired me. I feel like we’ve always been talking to each other through our music. She is the girl in my music, and I am the guy in her music. It’s just this ghostly collaboration that feels the most natural on the whole [Beauty Behind the Madness] album. Even the whole monologue intro on “Lonely Star” from [my 2011 mixtape] Thursday - I just realized now that that’s Lana. That’s Lana’s voice. I mean, it’s my voice pitched up, but it’s her. It’s who she is. She was definitely the first feature that I wanted to bring on this album.” The Weeknd and Del Rey are more than just collaborators, it seems. The pair’s music - according to The Weeknd - is spiritually linked. Perhaps this revelation puts into context not only the collaborations between these two but their respective catalogs as well. As great collaborations he has Prisoner, Party Monster where Lana makes Background vocals, Stargirl Interlude, Lust for Life and Money Power and Glory an unreleased remix by The weeknd for the album kissland but the original is from Lana's album Ultraviolence.Anyway, long life to this wonderful collaboration. Abelana Forever 🥰🥰. September 26 Abelana Anniversary. 12 years ago The Weeknd discovered Lana on Tumblr and they became friends ❤❤❤

Lust for life is very underrated as a Lana album in my opinion. It’s also a great transition between honeymoon to NFR

I love how Lana ended this album on a beach, and then she released NFR next. And i love that when she is performing the same song live, on the pre-chorus when she sings about this beeing her modern manifesto and she says that she is doing it for all of us, she adds to the live version: For Amy (Winehouse and for Withney (Houston) who never got to fly at night bcs they were cought up in the dance of a cruel romance

I LITERALLY NEED THAT ULTRAVIOLENCE REACTION

i am gonna miss this place but so excited to see the new view !!!!!!

Get Free is also such a great way to transition into NFR as it ends with the seagulls and waves and NFR also has a lot of the beach/sea aesthetic and visuals.

you two not living together anymore is something i can not wrap my head around... the end of an era...

13 beaches has always been one of my fav Lana songs, I'm so so so so excited about your reaction (okay I'll keep watching now)

Omg as a long time Lana stan, watching you two hear these songs for the first time is like experiencing them all over again. Especially 13 Beaches, imo one of her top 5 tracks

Tomorrow Never Came is the equivalent of Coney Island for Lana, and I stand by that

lana del rey stans 👇

the best video with the best album, with the best two people?!?!? literally love the reaction! Good luck with the new houses!

Lust For Life, Honeymoon, and Ultraviolence are my favorite Lana albums!!!

you girls arent ready for the superiority of honeymoon 😂❤❤

For Amy and for Whitney.. and all my birds of paradise

The hair. The outfits. You guys look so pretty in this goodbye video of your house! We'll all miss this house, but you'll make so many happy memories in your new space. I'm sure of it❤ Ps: OMG, I feel like the orchestral intro of 13 beaches IS the music playing in the ballroom of her mind!!!!

the lust for life music video is truly magestic, its so so beautiful literally you should really take a look at it, even tho if i dont record it like a reaction video, im sure u gonna love it

I’m so happy you reacted to this! I can’t wait to see Honeymoon and Ultraviolence too, you’re in for a real treat!

One cool thing to fathom about this album and that makes it really interesting is that it closes the first part of Lana's discography. She said at that time that LFL was an album made for the fans, and to me it really closes the arc of the Lana Del Rey character on a positive note as she goes on about familiar topics but with a positive view on the future, while reflecting about the hopes for her greatest muse: America. To me, "Get Free" marks the death of Lana del Rey (as a character and the whole universe of sounds, motifs and aesthetics that she created and developed since Born to Die). Now she commits to a new future of self-reflecting and pursue of happiness, going out of the black and into the blue: the waves of Venice Beach and the whole universe of NFR. The way the album closes with the beach sounds is so great to lead us into her new phase. To me, NFR is the beginning of a deeply poetic and more personal stage, where the artist now is an Elizabeth Grant doing A LOT of self work, leaving LA to the midwest to get to a place where she can face her own traumas, explore her family dynamics, get to know what's really important to her (her family and her poetry), and eventually go back to Venice really knowing who she is and what she wants (hence Ocean Blv ending with VB and symbolizing the ending of another stage of her work). I'm really excited about her next work and to discover what the third phase of her artistic journey will look like! And can't wait for you guys to react and fathom Ultraviolence and Honeymoon, some of her best works to date! ✨

Get Free is one of my fav songs of all time. I see it as the sequel to Ride where she had a war in her mind in that song too (she even references Ride) but she was so depressed in that song and Get Free is the hopeful ending to that mindset she was once in. I love it so much and it has such an emotional meaning to it for her (and any fan who was loved Ride and struggled with depression) its the perfect closer to this album

YASSS MY FAV LANA ALBUM OF ALL TIME!! heroin is by far my fav song of her, something about it is just ethereal to me, insuperable

the fact the new taylor album has come at a time when you're taking this channel to new spaces is just beyond iconic to me. like taylor releasing folklore out of nowhere when this channel started and then surprise dropping paris as a song in midnights when you were in paris and now this !!! i can call a soulmate situation when i see one. aaaaaaa so excited for the new vibe but will miss this superior background. love you both so much❤❤❤❤

lust for life is my favourite lana album!!! so glad people are finally appreciating it

Bonny looking around her house for the last time for the last reaction ever during the outro to Change is something out of a movie 🥹so many memories and now a change is gonna come :)

This was my favorite reaction by far. Your appreciation for this album is so wonderful to see! Especially the acknowledgement that change is special

i’m so glad someone loved ‘tomorrow never came’ 🙏🏽 i love the beatles with my entire heart & it’s so nice to see you appreciating sean & lana’s collaboration! the john lennon/beatles essence is really there 💞

Rocky and Lana also have an unreleased song called Riding, sounds a lot like a Born To Die outtake

2 months waiting for honeymoon 😪

I am SO keen for Ultraviolence and Honeymoon reactions now!!

Love your Lana content, will be rewatching this one many times ♥️

OMG I'm so happy you're back with another Lana! 🤍 Some of my thoughts about this record: I always believed that in "Change" Lana refers to the song "Wind of Change" by Scorpions which is about the political changes in the Soviet Union at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, which contributed to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the dissolution of the Eastern Bloc, which resulted in the end of the Cold War. It was my first association, because I'm from Poland, which was in the "Eastern Bloc" and this song is well known here and I think it suits the political topics Lana reffered to in this album. Another thing - when she sings "Topanga's hot tonight" and later: winter in the city Somethin' 'bout this weather made these kids go crazy (It's hot) even for February Somethin' 'bout this sun has made these kids get scary - I believe she's talking about the climate change And the last one, in "Get Free" she's singing "For AMY and for WHITNEY" but it was muted on the album, she sings it live, they are those "birds of paradise" who never got to fly at night 'Cause they were caught up in the dance 💔(she has their names tattooed across the top of her chest: "Whitney" and "Amy" on the right, and "Nina" and "Billie" on the left. They stand for Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse, Nina Simone and Billie Holiday.)

I’m so happy you’re reacting to this! My favorite album and most streamed :)

I have been patiently waiting for this day and I Love Love Love everything about this video reaction! the album came out around the time I started college but it wasnt until a year after the pandemic I truly fathomed this album. It will forever be my fav Lana album and the background soundtrack to my 2021/2022 (and life tbh) bc i listened to it on repeat numerous times and still do to this day. I'm so glad you both welcomed it and pictured the imagery the same way as i did and cant wait for the other two Lana albums!!

YESSSS. also need an ocean blvd breakdown from you girls expeditiously

SO SO happy you guys are breaking down Lana. I am an OG stan. & Wait - "Heroin" is a total character based song! She is speaking from the perspective of one of the Manson Family women. It is one of my favorite songs since I am a HUGE true crime fan. There are SO many references to the Mansons in this song. Fun Fact: Topanga is where the Manson family lived :)

you MUST watch her perform CHERRY in ANTWERP, it's her best vocal showcase EVER! Also the house is so bittersweet! it's now iconic.

in white Mustang, you can also hear her say "why am i staying" instead of "white mustang"

the vocals on this album are just STUNNING. especially “Love” 🤩🤩

YESS I was rooting for this to be your next Lana reaction!! I had lost hope once I saw Ultraviolence being the top choice on your Instagram poll (not that it's a bad album, it was just really exciting to think both of you could possibly be reacting to Lfl and well... here we are!!!!!) thank you so much :))

This is so much fun! 💖 It's like listening to L4L for the first time again. It always brings me back to the summer of 2017, when I was in the gap between school and sixth form and would take the bus to my part time job. Whenever I hear these songs I'm immediately reminded of sitting alone on the top deck of the bus, gazing out at the sunny countryside.

Girls I've missed you so much. Genuinely!! You both make me so happy with your love for music and I'm so happy this video is here!!

I love this record so much, im so excited to see your reaction 🥺

I'm so happy with these reactions, you have very nice vibes. I cant wait for Honeymoon ✨

girls, you NEED to listen to the weeknds EP My Dear Melancholy, it's incredible

Change is my fav Lana song of all time so thank you for reacting to this album! I'm going to miss this space, but I am so happy to see where this channel goes and what you react to next ❤

Amazing reaction, it made me so happy! 🥺🥺🥺 I hope all the changes that will happen to you, all be good! Wish you all the best, Bonny and Emily! 💙(Also looking forward for future Lana's albums reactions 🥰)

IM SO EXCITED I LOVE WATCHING YOU GUYS REACTIN TO LANA CAUSE YOURE SO PURE DURING IT😭😭 also i have to tell you that this album is made for fans😭😭look how its the only album cover where she smiles, she's smiling to us!!! she wants to give hope and show every person that everybody is beautiful and their's problems too. really cant wait to see you reacting to others albums, pleeease

the girlies have been waiting for this one 🫶🏻🫶🏻

just listened to this in full for the first time this week so consuming all reactions i can ahhh love this

YESS FINALLY!!! So excited for the continuation of you lana journey❤

"for ____ and for ____" in get free is for amy winehouse and whitney houston but she decided to take the names out out of respect. she sings it live, though. it references women who have been taken from the music industry because of their big hearts, addictions and vulnerability.

Cherry was my most listened to song in 2023, and is easily one of my most favourite Lana songs of all time.
