It's 5am. The sun is barely rising. Your on holiday for the summer in crema Italy. Your laying on your bed with your window open. The mesh, white curtains are flowing with the warm breeze. You can hear distant birds tweeting and the sounds of grasshoppers jumping around. You have zero worries, zero school, life is good.
"I'm so ugly , but that's ok , cuz so are you. . .". Kurt Cobain . . . its the same intention . . . she's not putting her boyfriend down . . . she's actually being cute in a way . . . ^^
Feelin nostalgic? miss the past? thats alright. That means you had a beautiful past and nobody can take that away from you, smile. be positive. you matter. in the future you will look back and this will become your nostalgia :)
In a few years I’ll have double the nostalgia and that’s so overwhelming cause Im constantly thinking about nostalgia and it’s not only about my own life it’s about old generations or films or books etc. And it just means I’ll have more nostalgia to think about which I have a love-hate relationship with
this song sounds like what it feels like to watch your hippie, rockstar boyfriend play at coachella while watching him sing in awe with flowers in your hair.
It feels like a new emotion to hear this? Because it’s so different from how I’ve heard it all these years, but it’s more beautiful, more nostalgic and sweet.
I think the train never slowing down shows how life just goes on. I had severe depression and I felt I was seeing all those years pass from a window. Life never slowed down but I stood there, like the girl is. I just stood there and nothing slowed down for me.
Same happened to me You gotta run to catch the train and through this time in my life I couldn’t I was just glued to the floor I’m still going to therapy bit it’s getting better you have ups and downs but you’re eventually going to catch it
i wish i have a boyfriend so that i can caption a picture of both of us "yeah my boyfriend's pretty cool, but he's not as cool as me" but yeah a boy can dream huh
It's 4am in the summer and everyone's asleep, I was studying for my exam and took a break , but suddenly I found myself dancing to this song with light steps "so as not to wake the others", and when the song ended I went back to study, i feel crazy ngl .
Her voice makes me feel pretty, and alive and thankful to be alive. This is my favourite song by her because I relate and I was introduced to this song 3 years ago
There's a scene that lives rent free in my mind : 1800s, England, you're a girl form a middle class family, many sisters, you've seen them all get married to rich men and you're just living your life because you'd never marry someone for no other reason than love. Right now it's dawn, you haven't slept all night, you're in the middle of a field and you watch as the dark blue sky turns a cool light blue and then the sun comes up from behind the mountains. You breathe in the cool morning air and at the other side of the field you see your secret lover, another middle class young man whom love with your whole heart and he loves you just as deeply. You're both expected to marry people from rich families but you've found your way to one another and you're just there, looking at each other, walking towards each other and hugging, while having that beautiful unexplainable feeling in your chest. And you sit under a tree, just talking about your goals and dreams while not knowing where you'll be the next day.
this is the sweetest comment section i've seen in a long time. it's so interesting how this music sparks the same kinda feelings and stories in different people
@@biancaiota4505 i actually sometimes read the live chats on those lofi streams. it's beautiful, people all over the world talking about the same deep/painful human stuff.
@@biancaiota4505 definitely, it's so cool. i also relate to a lot of stuff they talk about, since i suffer from depression and anxiety it's nice how openly everyone talks about mental health, with no judgement. makes some people feel less alone in the world.
two years ago i had art classes on friday afternoons, and every single one of those classes, i would listen to this video with my earphones on. i was in my old class at the time, the same one i had been in since 1st grade. life was much simpler and i, more emotional, innocent and alive back then. i miss those times so much. my friends are tired of hearing me talk about it all the time but now i don't even get enough time to hang out with them, yet the four of us and the rest of our classmates back then had so much fun in that class and spent way more time together. i just miss it so much and genuinely wish i could just, go back.
The nostalgic yet hauntly feeling that this sets on my soul, is making me sad.. but, for some type of way, i am also feeling well, comforted and understood. This has become my new little corner to come when i am feeling down... 🥀
This song reminds me of those July days, enlightened, happy and bright, those giggles, gossips and trips, am crying while listening to this as a July reminder
i used to smoke weed and play this in my apartment all alone sad about my dead end job....now i play this at my parents house while i pay off student loans....hopefully one day i'll play this in my own house with my wife ♥️
it’s from a movie! “when marnie was there” it’s a studio ghilibli movie, yanno the ones who made my neighbor totoro? yeah the same people. watch it it’s worth it
All of Lana Del Rey's songs make me feel extremely nostalgic, like I was born in the early 40s, and the prime of my life was in the 60s-70s. Humor me and read how I feel when I listen to this. Feel free to do so while listening along yourself. ♡ I'm a depressed, angsty but 'strikingly beautiful' model in Los Angeles. I'm originally from New York City, but I had no one there after my Daddy passed away, and needed a change of pace. I was a singer, but not a very popular one, until a handsome biker musician I met off Route 66 while thumbing across said that he knew some people in Hollywood, he gave me a card for modeling. I'll never forget him saying, "You have it in you, you deserve the world." Life moved quickly, and seemingly in a blur. One day I smoked a cigarette with Sharon Tate and Priscilla Presley in Hollywood, the next I smoked weed at Woodstock, with my new biker musician boyfriend who's pretty cool, but not as cool as me. I'd always recite the conversation I had with Marilyn on the Fox Studio lot six days before she took her life as I drive past Benedict Canyon, on Mulholland Dr in my white Mustang convertible. My sugar daddy Jim gave it to me for my 25th birthday, always calling it Little Bullet. I'd then stroll the trails of the Hollywood Hills in twilight and read poetry, to find some serenity and sense of it all. Andy Warhol was a social friend of mine, and we'd talk about boys together at his gallery showings in New York while buzzed on weed and cocaine. Sometimes I'd wonder why he liked me around so much, but never let me get so close. I'd host swinger parties at my penthouse in Hollywood, for people of all races and sexual orientations, mandatory Non-Disclosure Agreements per entry. It's the end of Hollywood's Golden Age and the beginning of its Drug Age, while still being glamorous. It's a truly beautiful sight, with a twinge of deceit and summertime sadness. So many lost feelings, so many people that were in my life are now gone, my biker musician boyfriend left me long ago when he realized I wasn't young or beautiful enough for him. He died in the 80s of a heroin overdose and left me his Daddy's fortune I didn't know he had. He always said I'd be his favorite because I was the first he ever did, and said "I deserved it and the world", quoted in his will. I took the old money and invested well, found a "good" man but ran when I got pregnant with my two boys, just like every other foolish man in my life. I raised them well, and taught them to love; not fight. I now sit on the balcony of my beach house in Malibu, lines deeply marking my face, kids living happy lives yet far away from me, watching the sunset with a glass of Cherry Coke in one hand and a blunt in the other, as I have for the past 25 years of my life. It's now 2010, and I find myself reminiscing much more nowadays. While I yearn to experience my prime again, I'm so dearly happy I'm sitting here today and made it out alive. Most didn't. Maybe, just maybe, I'll write out my life into poetry, and send them to a certain girl I know named Lizzie Grant. She's a beautiful and talented girl, starting fresh here in Los Angeles from New York, just like I had 50 years ago. She has such a cunning ear for music. I met her last Tuesday in my favorite coffee shop in Topanga. We talked for hours, and eventually we retreated to my home. She lives in my first apartment building on Wilshire Blvd, right across the street from The Wiltern, in the middle of the muck of Hollywood. We plan to meet at my home again next Tuesday, to write together. All I can think of is hopefully, my life will live on in the hearts of those listening forever and ever, and once I have drifted away to The Rose Garden she'll start molding her own destinies to sing so beautifully- like a honeygold canary flying high above the country club, Alamitos Beach, and Ocean Blvd. ✧
I’m reminiscing about my 20s when I stood there beside the train waiting for my love to meet one more time before he left forever for a better world. The summer was beautiful. Him and I met in the early 80s. I remember it so strongly. The sky was in the perfect blue color with a hint of grey. You were right there surfing with your boys as I was with my girls making plates for each other. We caught each other’s eye and felt a way I still can’t explain. I’m more than glad you came up to me and talked to me. We spent a lot of time together before you left to your city. My heart was attached to you even if the meeting was short. You said our first goodbye as we held each others hand and looked at the night sky. The last goodbye was our train meeting. Where your last words were, “I am getting married to someone else. I hope you get what you’re looking for.” Edit: Thank you for reading this! You guys are so sweet. Have a great day beautiful ladies and gents ☘️
Shruti Mehta hey bbg, i haven’t experienced this. But for some reason, I felt so nostalgic to the song and the video that my mind captured the moment I shared in this comment!
I know exactly what you mean when I traveling I took a train form switerland to Paris and It I felt the strangest feeling like I was falling in a tunnel with flashing lights
I listened to this on a cruise ship at sunset before covid, I've just revisited it. The feelings I felt when I first listened to it at the front of a giant ship were indescribable
i come back to this song every time. the first time i listened was while reading the first book that i ever fell in love with. this song always brings me back and it’s perfect
NEVER EVER getting tired of this version, especially the last line it just takes me to another dimension every single time and I can tell you I've been listening this version like since it came out 😭
everybodys saying their love stories and here i am smoking alone and wishing it would be warmer since it’s may and i’m almost freezing, how interesting my life is
This gives me a feeling of when I was a child playing. In the playground infront of our house and I had to go back inside and I see this white 80s car driving slowly and keep going around her house the girl driving with ice bleached hair smoking a cigarettes she had tears. I looked at her for so long such beauty smoking crying. it was heartbreaking just looked so sad until she wipes her tears. rolled the tinted windows up, got her car in the garage she use to live next door I asked my mom what happen. She said her mother died of a heart attack, I wish her the best.
