Part 1 and 2 combined of Lana Del Rey/Lizzy Grant's Index magazine interview with Brea Tremblay from November 2008. Thank you to the original uploader HoneyDelGrant! / channel
She wrote old money to reminisce about her times in this trailer park. When people accused her of lying about not having money when she truly had nothing because she was trying to gain independence from her parents. It’s not that she didn’t have a good relationship with them, she mentions her fathers love being strong and her mom being an inspiration to her yet she still “felt alone”, so she carved her own path and left them behind. But coming from “old money” was like a curse and it followed her around making it almost impossible to find this freedom she always seeked. In the song she also mentions the blue hydrangea, the white sunshine meaning the sun that shined over the white trailers, the small children, and most importantly, Jim. The fact that this interview shows all of that truly shows how authentic Lana is to her music. She’s not putting up an act, it’s not a character, it’s literally her life. And that’s why her songs hit so strong in the heart, because we’re experiencing someone’s life through melodies
@@rubyluisa1756 you’re not paying attention. She comes from money, her parents had money. I’m saying she never wanted that money or rep, she wanted to carve a path of her own and make her own wealth through her art. But the term old money always haunted her bc she can’t escape her family’s wealth and name. Especially when she first started, the tabloids wouldn’t let her move past that
@@rubyluisa1756 i meant the song, not the actual phrase, as in lana reminiscing about her time at the trailer park and having not a lot of money, but people accusing her of lying because she grew up wealthy {old money}
Ela Nebula she always sings about Jim and people assume she’s being fictitious or singing about Jim Morrison but maybe she was singing about an actual Jim
Aline Khoury lol, of course. Lana was just a sweetheart. No wonder they called her the sweetest girl in town, gosh she was something special. Feminine icon.
interesting character. she seems like a sweet damsel from a classy 1930s family, somehow in a trailer park in 2008. slightly away with the fairies but also very with it. innocent yet clearly there's a thrill -seeking streak. a ray of sunshine with a hint of melancholy. measured but free.
Bee then I’m wondering why the fuck you’re even here. She hasn’t changed a bit, you’re just reaching because you find it unbelievable how someone could be the way that she is for some reason.
Bee if you listen to her old unreleased songs from Lana Del RAy(not Rey) aka Lizzy Grant, “May Jailer”(albums) etc, you could hear the same theme going through her lyrics, she isnt fabricated by someone, she documented her life.
Bee - don’t be jealous just cuz ur not as interesting. It’s called being influenced by people you’ve admired, who bring out parts of yourself that would’ve otherwise remained hidden.
This video has an interesting background story. Brea tremblay the then young reporter was very nervous interviewing our soon-to-be famous Lana. Both looking cute.
“Its the closest trailer park to Manhattan” I can’t put into words how much I feel her strive for fame and trying to be a artist. She has such a kind and fun heart.
It's so amazing how far she's come, paying $525 for rent in a trailer park to climbing up the H of the Hollywood sign:) still has the same adorable attitude i love her so much
@@ko-nr2ty lol... no... they sent her to an exclusive and very expensive boarding school as a teenager that her uncle worked at. That was them “kicking her out” haha
Lana has this quality where she seems like she's flirting with everyone. Like she's such a straight girl but I swear she's flirting with this interviewer lol. She has this natural seductive sweetness about her
everyone commenting ‘she could fall back unto money’ and it’s her ‘choice to be poor’ clearly have no idea what a toxic relationship with your parents can be like.
@@shawnbay2211 I would say that Amy Winehouse was significantly wilder than Lana Del Rey was/is. Amy's dark days of crack addiction, heavy drinking, bulimia and self-mutilation are well-documented in the book 'My Amy: The Life We Shared' by her best friend, Tyler James. Very, very dark and so SAD. ;-(
3:27 she says "I'm so happy you guys are here!" and the interviewer sounds like she sarcastically responds that "I'm very happy to be here". The way Lana giggled after and then got so serious :( all shy asses relate to that format of laughter lol.
she's so sweet and kind. To think people would be so harsh towards someone so sunny and sweet. Her smile and innocent butterfly like personality is such a joy. Her outfit is so cute, with that blue ribbon headband, and little fluffy shorts but nothings cuter than her face. Also aside her references to future music, you can hear her talking about the "cult"
4:09 is weird when she told she wants to work with David Linch, the interviewer seems to say” right” sarcastically, like she doesnt believe her/is laughing at her. also she touches her nose at this moment which is psychological fact that the person is lying. so she doesnt believe her, little did she know that it is actually reality now lol.
You know what else is even weirder? She asks her whether there's been a crime at 10:55 and then Lana touches her nose when she responds "no" (which, as you said it yourself is a psychological fact that someone is lying) ☠️
it’s crazy to see that this trailer park inspired her so much throughout her career and one of her hit songs 'old money' really describes her trailer park life in melodic music and how she could turn something quite unfortunate to something so dazzling and haunting is truly a talent!
Isha Khalid courtney love brought it up when she interviewed her for dazed, lana said she thought she was rockabilly back then and wished she never told anyone about the trailer park
I think people forget about the fact that during this segment of her life she didn't have any contact with either of her parents, she even proceeded to confirm this in an interview (same interview she mentioned how she wanted to end her life) and that she built her own empire from her own bare hands, not from the help of her father like everyone accuses her of :/ she rlly is the queen of trailer parks and her legacy will forever live on
Omg there is so much song references in this video 👇👇👇 She grew blue hydrangea (old money) trailer park(yayo and other songs i dont remember names )she mentioned the beach boys in (the greatest) she was living in the New Jersey by that time she mentioned it in (100 dollar bill "i am the New Jersey dance queen" ) she mentioned Bill in (trash magic) and Jim in (Ultraviolence) 7eleven ( diet mountain dew)
she’s so sweet. 🥺 especially here, you can tell that she’s been through a lot of hardships and she’s such a humble and down to earth person. i love her sm and always will 🥺
If I am not Mistaken, this is Manhattan Trailer in North Bergen, New Jersey. She moved there around 2007 I Think, she said last October so maybe Oct. 2007.
Am I picking up a slight mean girls vibe up from the camera lady and interviewer? I'm so happy that Lana made it big and silenced so many of her critics. She always comes across as a little sweetheart, a very talented and beautiful sweetheart. Good for you Lana! Thankyou for your music and art. 😘 xx
quinn diamandis idk being born to a very rich family I think it's not even like her parents helped her, they just got money 😆 I do not think it helped her to become famous tho. It's all her art and charm 🍷
all people would have to do to prove her authenticity is watch this. i don't know of any artist more real and consistent than lana even if the way she presents herself has changed with age, everything she sings about is her experience and that of the things she loves
It’s quite intriguing that Lana is going to channel this era again, according her recent interview “White Dress” is going to be about her experiences throughout this time and some have even said that it’s going to be one of her most sentimental songs of all time, and now it’s understandable that she’s bringing this era into reference because she has been in the industry for approximately 10 years and I have the assumption that Lana always resonated with Lizzy but she just didn’t know how to involve her in her current music, but now she’s not only incorporating Lizzy’s sound but also her aesthetics. Gathering from The White Dress snippet I have the expectation that this song is just a visualization of her Lizzy days, which we all are acknowledged of that it was not her most prosperous times and she has had encountered a lot of disadvantages within those times, so I just can’t wait to see what her current interpretation of Lizzy is going to be like and I’m still astonished that she has referenced this interview in her latest Instagram post, considering that she has never really been confessional about Lizzy and her occurrences during that time, just from that alone I can tell that this era is going to be very distinctive from NFR. Not saying that Norman wasn’t sentimental or vulnerable, but I have a feeling that we are going to witness another side of Lana that we have never encountered before and not just surrounding her Lizzy persona but also the fact that she said that the album is going to be about her friends and family. So just think the album is going to be an embodiment of what her current live is settled.
@@art3mis837 Thank you so much! I really appreciate it, also can’t wait for White Dress to finally emerge to see how this narrative is going to be illustrated!
I like how she talks like a little girl who’s just completely out of it and off in the clouds or something. Kinda reminds me of me lol. People made fun of me all the time too but those who appreciated and loved me said I was like a vulnerable dark disney princess. That’s what she reminds me of too, like cinderella. But ironically a reverse one since she went from riches to rags here
She's said when she was living here she was doing drugs. Whether or not that's true, it could give you some insight into why she's acting like that lmao
That's exactly how i feel... people used to make me hate who i am, but I've found strength in the fact that i am an artist and an empath. It's pretty cool, in a sea of people who see only what the see with their eyes.
The interviewer is not very good. Lana is way more interested in the videographer. She's got glasses on (big no-no!), and she's not offering any emotional mirroring to encourage Lana to feel comfortable enough to open up. She must've just thought she was another ditz.
That winter smell of gas/grease trailer kitchens in upstate New York. Parked oilburning vehicles in driveways, hot coffee from Stewart's shop and the cold that keeps you moving.
