Lana Del Rey - Reaction - Ride (Full 10 Minute Version) 

I’d give it a 10 because it would be disrespectful to rate a masterpiece any lower

8.3 is extremely low 😭 this song is a masterpiece and an institution on its own. Deserves nothing less than a 10

it only deserves 10/10 because it's not just a song, it's life.

- This song deserved a grammy.

this song is actually inspired by her own life. in the first monologue, she explains why she's been living like this without a home. the song is about her riding through her life and trying not to get into trouble while she's constantly at war in her mind. the ending monologue is about how she's somehow found happiness in this life with her kind of people and that she is free.

It's 100% autobiographical. Lana was born into an upper middle class family with an abusive mother. From childhood she struggled with thoughts of death and obsessive thoughts. She's talked about how when she was a child the day she learned that everyone eventually dies was one of the most troubling in her life. She said she would go around thinking "myself and everyone around me will one day be gone - I couldn't get over it." As a result she became a BAD alcoholic at a young age, when she was in high-school she went through rehab and got sent to a boarding school. In college she joined the Atlantic group which is an offshoot of AA. The group has been called a cult - members are required to dress a certain way, and the leader has been accused of sexually exploiting young women. Also important to note for her at this time - the Atlantic also forbids its members to take ANY any anti depressants or anti psychotic medication. Lana wrote a song about her relationship with the leader of her Atlantic called Ultraviolence (which has a video you should check out!) In an interview about it she said it was about someone who would take her apart and dominate /hurt her. After this she left for a summer to go build homes on a reservation in Utah- which is where the desert scenes are filmed. She described this time as the happiest in her life. Before leaving she had been in school majoring in metaphysics (she said she's interested in how humans build bridges to god), and singing in small venues like she shows here. She also said during this time in her life she was very lucky bc she used to just walk around at night and go with different people. She said she never got seriously hurt bc she's able to read people pretty well. She explored these autobiographical themes in her song Carmen off her previous record as well. So yes! Everything in the video is a representation of what she was living at the time.

This song is a 10 out of 10 in my books

You can't rate a MASTERPIECE 😭

These comments make my heart proud. We Lana fans are hardcore! And this is why I avoid reaction videos to Lana's work because it should not be judged. This isn't just music, it's a feeling. She curates an emotion. It almost feels unfair to judge and rate it.. which is why I think we're so protective of her because in essence we're protecting our hearts too. She speaks for a lot of us, those who get it, get it

most of lana’s music autobiographical in some way or another. she uses a lot of metaphors and stuff like that but from what i know she writes from her own experiences whether they are about herself or people she’s known. obviously she played around a lot with adding some fictional elements in her earlier music, but it all comes from some form of truth. like she said she dreamed of becoming a poet and i think that definitely shows in her lyrics and just the unique way she tells stories throughout each song.

Lana has had a huge impact in my life through her art

Ride mv is pure art, I'm getting these lines tattooed: "It takes everything you ever wanted and losing it, to know what true freedom really is" "Been trying hard not to get into trouble but I, I got a war in my mind" "I'm fucking crazy , bug I'm free"

2 lana videos today? I'm dreaming?

Lana writes about herself her experiences and life her music is an autobiography

that opening vocal might just be my favourite vocal EVER!! the chilssssss

You should definitely react to “Video Games” and “Young and Beautiful” next… and if you can, do an album reaction for Born to Die! 🔥 Then continue on to her Paradise EP era songs and music videos(which this song- “Ride”, is a part of) And then continue on to her Ultraviolence album area (which your last reaction, “Shades of Cool” is a part of) And so on for her other albums…would love to see you react to her music and eras in order so you can really see how her music and different themes/aesthetics evolve over time. I think you’ll be very impressed! 👌💯

I can’t express how much I love Lana. I cry everytime I watch this video and listen to this beautiful monologue and song.

I've lived this way since being abandoned by family at 16 after my older brothers sudden death. I was on my own, moved to LA with a suitcase. I got signed to a modeling agency. I traveled the world and lived in the moment. Sought safety in other people. I'm getting older now and yes, that kind of life is freedom but it also is a lot of loneliness. It's beautiful, immersive and freeing. But, like everything else, there is a downside. It is lonely and you don't have any roots. I can't say it's better, worse or equal to any other path. All I can say is, there is always a downside to whatever path you may choose in life. Be sure you are aware of that.

This is quite possibly my favorite song of all time. Just so stunning.

Patiently waiting for West Coast, Gods and Monsters and Venice Bitch

I’d give the writing 10 cause that’s a given with any Lana song & her story telling. The theme a 9. And the song a 10. This is just one of her best tracks so hard not to

Michael Moore said "The purpose of art actually is, in many cases, to make you feel quite uncomfortable" Watching Ride music video for the first time It made me uncomfortable bcs we know The life she is living is not good for her but yet the idea of freedom is not so bad.the She knows this herself as well. We feel sad for her yet we understand her mindset. I LOVEEE THIS MUSIC VIDEO SO MUCH. IT'S TRULY ART.

i can’t help but cry whenever i watch this music video

One of my all time favorite songs and videos. I love watching people experience it for the first time. Usually everyone starts out talking and questioning things… then end up sitting and watching in silence.

You should definitely listen to her albums (in order)

You should react to her album in order ;) - Born to die - Paradise EP - Ultraviolence - Honeymoon - Lust for life - Norman fucking rockwell - Chemtrails over the country club - Bleu bannister It is suite a journey :)

I love when people reacts to Lana Del Rey

Would love to see a reaction to Ultraviolence, the whole album 🖤 I don't think we'll ever have an album like that again...

tysm for so many lana videos , you’re the best. definitely subscribing!

Please listen to her albums in order they all each tell a story!!!!

yes you’re completely right! lana del rey is a character but her music still has a lot of truth to her life, she’s always said she’s just writing about her life.

this song is a masterpiece, It deserves a 10 in my opinion😩

Really enjoyed the intelligence and thoughtfulness of your reactions and analysis. That said...this song IS a 10. I love Lana, but my judgment is independent of that. "Ride" is an American anthem. It's an actual masterpiece--with or without the remarkable video. I love it when she says, "I am fucking crazy. I am free." I've known people like her, women like her. It's a very real character, straight out of vintage American culture, Easy Rider with a strong infusion of film noir. I'm utterly unlike her, but I totally get her and I too am kind of envious of her. It's not a lifestyle or a mindset you can fake.

To me the imagery is very reminiscent of the film Easy Rider. In that film two guys go on a tour across america on their motorcycles, and at one point one of the guys says something like " Man this is amazing, we made it, we are so free" but the other guy feels the complete opposite because to him this freedom has led to nothing but chaos and crime. It's like how you were saying that some people would be terrified to be that free, but other people crave that. I guess it really depends on your perspective of what freedom is. Anyway, you should watch it and lana is the queen and this song is 10/10

For me it's a big 10. For sure. I get the same emotion every time I listen to it.

Rating Lower than 99.99% is an insult to this masterpiece

MY ALL TIME FAV SONG

i just love ur reactions to lana keep doing them i will be waiting for the next ones so excited !!!

If you like her storytelling and are intrigued by the character she is portraying, you will enjoy Tropico. I say character because I agree with you that it’s an embelished story with bits and pieces of her life. Her newest Blue bannisters album seem a bit more personal.

I’m crying once again and I’ve watched this video over 100x 😭😭😭

it is a 10/10. people should study this

She is Absolutely amazing. Love this.

The introdution itself it's a solid 10/10 to me

When I watched this music video. I knew I'm gonna love this woman till the end of time. ❤

This is ART!

Two words, bro : Anthony Mandler. He also directed Tropico. You should definitely check it out.

8.3 is so absurd. Ride is 10/10 as for me.

Just one word MASTERPIECE

Been enjoying your Lana Del Rey reactions and your interpretations of her songs and videos, you have to react to Brooklyn Baby, West Coast and Young and Beautiful next!

10 accross the board !!! ❤️❤️‍🔥❤️

Definitely suggest you react to “young and beautiful” by Lana Del Rey it’s a song she did for “The Great Gatsby” soundtrack and its a masterpiece on another level!

Damn I love your reactions soo authentically deep! ❤

Lana is everything 🤍

If you’re going in order, i CANT WAIT for you to watch her TROPICO short film. It’s perfect

Everyone in the Lana cult knows this song is a 10/10.

Omg, i didn't expect to see you without the beard! :)

This song is ART ❤️❤️❤️😍

Will make it short here .. For the 1st time i did complete a whole reaction video just because of u dude. I love ur analysis and translating the song of everything u understand. Thank you for this and looking forward for ur upcoming videos. Liked and Subscribed Hell yeah !! ^_^

Patiently waiting for your reaction to Tropico

Ranking God with a 8.3, is a sin!

this video makes me cry every time lol i want to be free like that so bad

2 videos from Lana? Nice love it. Im waiting for Gods and Monsters and Venice Bitch.

This song makes me emotional 🥺 I've lived the life she's describing in the song It's not so much about living free as it is about looking for a place where you feel like you're wanted Freedom in excess can feel like a prison Everybody wants to find a place where they feel like they belonh

Te amo Lana Del Rey ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I subscribed even though you low balled the rating. I decided to give your channel a chance and kept in mind this was your first time listening 😂

5:56 THIS. IS. ART.

I'm a new follower and loving your reactions and insight on these songs! Love Lana Del Rey, Silk Sonic. You should react to 5 seconds of summers new video, complete mess :)

10 is the only right answer !

Masterpiece. What else is to be said?

10s across the board!!!! 🤷🏿‍♂️🤦🏿🔟🔟🔟

I love this ranking system man! You should have done it a long time ago with some amazing songs you have reacted to! And just for the previous video, don't worry,you don't have to say in the end that you don't want to make us believe that you don't like the songs,or whatever,it is your opinion! I don't agree so far with any of the rankings,but this is okay! 😂 Also,start reacting to Justin Timberlake please! If you want,start with Mirrors and Suit and Tie, they are amazing songs!!!

Lana's best song.

Also I think now that we are done with born to die's singles. Maybe you should do BTD album reaction before moving on to other albums. But we don't mind singles from Ultraviolence, L4l, NFR, Honeymoon album.

10’s baby.

“Does she kill one of them?”😂

beautiful song beautiful girl beautiful heart

OH I WAS WAITING FOR THIS ONE ☝🏼 her best this song changed the way I view my life tbh 😂

1000/10 lana is legend 😍❤️❤️

This song IS the best ever

the opening monologue & your thoughts on it remind me of the book The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.

I can tell that you are her type😅 that makes it more enjoyable to watch ur reactions to her lmao

This is one of her best lol. But for lyrics her newer albums are 10s Tropico better be a 10 lol

I think if you’re gonna do a ranking system you gotta have the lyrics pulled up as well the whole time

I would love to watch a movie of the character she creates here

If I could give it an 11/10 I would

I saw him fell in love with her right there and then ❤

Its not a character , thats her story, she had a Wild past

Pleeease react to The Lumineers - The Ballad Of Cleopatra (it includes 5 songs, Ophelia, Sleep On The Floor, Angela, Cleopatra and My Eyes). I think you will enjoy both lyrics and music video!!

This song is 100.99 , it's not a song, it's a poem. so c'om, please...8.3??really?? this song is a work of art, like she says, and it's so beautiful there's no words, other than that she say that could explain much more better this sense of loneliness, freedom, and how cold this freedom could you make you feel lost at the same time, but with the freedom you colud find your path and chasing your real inner dreams. that my opinion. but even I'm not agree with your vote, I really like your interpretation, and reaction, so thank you.

There was beard in the thumbnail, I wasn't expecting baby face in the actual video, I've been bamboozled

Ela tem a voz de um anjo

10/10 for me !

ride is Autobiographical but not all of it

+ tropico ( it’s with gods and monsters)

Dvorak New World Symphony influence for sure. Still great.

11/10

Idk if I’ll sound ridiculous but this girl found her true north through music. It’s called sublimation

Do you mind to do a reaction to Still Life by Bigbang? Just found your channel and I like the way you breakdown the lyrics and talk about the singers voice. Was hoping to see what you think about it.

Hey Bud, would to see you cover FIRST TIME HEARING LP - Lost On You [Live Session] REACTION

Suffi don't forget to react to TROPICO...
