My First Time Hearing... LANA DEL REY - BORN TO DIE 

Yess all her albums are timeless masterpieces ❤️

palemoonlight96 not all lol

Exactly!

I am literally convinced I will forever love it

LoL yeah that's exactly what I was thinking.

Mermaidlagoonworld she’s too good for the Grammys

I was so pissed off when NFR didn't win AOTY

Remove this comment, I don’t like being reminded 😭😭

Los Grammys no hacen al artista, so

Right??? She’s the one that started that whole vintage nostalgia vibe. Came out with a unique style both in music and in video production. She’s inspired so many artists worldwide! Written pure, bold and edgy lyrics. A fucking icon and Grammys is so unfair but what’s new

you put it in words

same

I remember listening to this album for the first time, covered in goosebumps because of how beautiful each track was. I love watching reviews of this album bc it takes me to that place again. Wish I could experience the feeling again 😭

Yesssss this is why I really liked watching this video

so agree with your comment and responses haha. so many memories, this album is such a jem

Maybe that’s why they know us lana fans as gangsta, she knows her audience 😂😂

Göksu ne işin var burda 😂

Then they're even more gangsta 🤫🤤😍🤣

Everyone’s gangsta after listening to this album

🔥🔥🔥 Yesss, also “Ultraviolence” by Lana and Lorde’s “Pure Heroine” album, I would also put Billie Eilish’s “When we fall asleep where do we go” album too; *ITS GIVING when it shouldn’t been gave 💅🏻* 🔥🔥🔥

yes

💖

Nayef Nowsher YESS PLEASEEE

Yes!!! He has to listen to this album. In my opinion it’s her best

Beautiful album

exactly 💯

Agreed

Especially the first album. Who would’ve thought to combine trap beats and alternative indie vocals?? Like wtf 😂😂 but yeah, it’s hard to find music like hers. Early SZA (before CTRL Era) would be the closest but SZA early work definitely has a different sound than Lana’s.... it’s crazy to not find similar music but it has to be out there

@@micahcook2408 funny cause I don't really listen to female artist that much(sorry if doesn't sound right) but Lana if the first female I really dive into her music catalogue funny enough it was SZA who i really vibe a lot a few years later.

I mean, there are a ton of artists within Chamber Pop, Baroque Pop that are really popular to the genre. I mean, it’s interesting to see her go from explicitly Baroque Pop to something more striped back and guitar driven, but she is not an anomaly within the scene.. I mean, not anymore.

God bless you 🙇🏻‍♀️

You’re an angel sent from above

@@babygirlxo7591 u are welcome

lifesaver

Exactly what I’m looking for. Absolute legend, thank you!👑👑

You were lucky, I was 7 and my young ass thought it was too "sad" 💀

I was 15 and I felt so sophisticated while listening to her

Carmen was the first song I heard from lana and I immediately fell in love, still coping with my unhealthy obsession

listening to this album at the age of 12 is the origin story of my interest in daddies

@@dc9067 me too LOL now I’m a die hard BTD Stan 😂

lmaoo

never too late to enter the lana verse 🤣

amber lawlor true 😀

💀💀

I’m cackling 🤣 Lana has this nostalgia and melancholy in her voice and music that I’ve never felt before in music. Maaan! “Born To Die: Paradise Edition” is like my religion. ✨💯💫

Jennifer Cox one of my all time favs by her 💖😏

Yessssd it’s one of my favesssd

one of my fav songs by her. such a masterpiece 🥺

Was national anthem for me

I feel as though Off to the Races is pretty underrated amongst casual Lana listeners!

and if she would’ve submitted to them and not continued with music there literally would be no Olivia Rodrigo, Billie eilish, madison beer & many other new singers

Even Taylor Swift said some of her songs were highly influenced by Lana's music.@@zakikin6006

Born to die, though lyrically weaker than her other albums, is a true legacy album. Longest charting female debut in history - AND STILL CHARTING! This album’s soundscape was something completely revolutionary for a 2012 album and it’s only a decade later we can see , in retrospect, the influence this album can be felt. even right now! Billie eilish literally said her upcoming album is inspired partially by BTD. Not to mention it’s influence in the entire modern landscape of female pop music. The critics options TRULY doesn’t matter when it comes to this album. Not the slightest.

👌

They wouldn’t be. Her lyrics are nothing special

@@Ona1000 ummm gtfo 🗿👎🏻

@@Ona1000 um shut up 🤣😬

@@Ona1000 lol coming from someone who only listens to cocomelon

Video Games is literally 10 years old. JEEZ!!!!

gurl nobody can :0

And it's one of only 3 female solo albums to be on Billboards Top 100 albums currently.

it’s crazy. we are all watching our lives flying by. it’s very emotional and music brings it out 😩

Indeed.. I was too late to love her

You dropped your crown 👑

f thank you love🥰

I love people like you

Lanatics are fucking proud rn

bless you, thx!

rivrox17 I think he was looking at the lyrics on Genius

I ruined 444 likes 😈

He didn't come up with that himself. He even said it

aging like a fine wine is better than not aging at all. I get your point, but you missed the brief. lol

⁠@@KANEEENAK I don’t think you did either lol, I meant the album hasn’t aged / feels dated / nor trapped in time, like a lot of 2010s pop music has become for example. The album could’ve come out today and it’ll still sound fresh. But when it inevitably “ages” over the next couple of decades since music changes so quickly, this album will be equivalent to fine wine. It won’t age badly like a lot of albums that got stuck in the decades they came out in.

Irem Yilmaz lol I read that on genius lyrics

Cinnamon is sweet. It's only bitter when you eat too much

Chanandler Bong guess she meant that life can be bittersweet sometimes, sort of a pleasure tinged with sadness and pain

Irem Yilmaz I was just laying in bed last night wondering why she was saying cinnamon was sweet 😂😂

Chanandler Bong uhm have you ever eaten cinnamon? It’s fucking biTTer

Her music is an entire immersive experience. The lyrics, tone, music, sound effects, the way she styles her voice, and the vibe/mood can't be dissected separately. Which is why I think some simply just don't "get" or know wtf the point is. Not that it's a complex thing to do. I don't think it's about intelligence. But it requires you to be willing to be vulnerable and connected to something within yourself that connects you to the rest of the world..... your soul and emotions type of shit (🥱😴 lol, I don't take offense if ppl roll their eyes & yawn to my words). And it requires you not to take one thing more seriously than the other. Ex) if you overthink and are too critical of the lyrics without putting the lyrics in context with the other elements, you might very well miss it, as in-not get it. Much of appreciating or disliking music lies with understanding the lyrics, and/or enjoying music (and beat). However, Lana requires you NOT to experience her music in dualities. Because "getting" the lyrics alone, or music alone isn't nearly as important as taking it in as musical form of introspection, retrospection and extrospection. It's not like eating a burger AND fries. Or steak AND potatoes. It's a plate of something created from familiar things but _MELDED_ together to form something we're not used to recognizing on a plate. You can't easily spot where the burger is differentiated from the fries. Because it's not about identifying the pieces of her music, it's about letting it plant and bloom into whatever experience it creates for you. She's a "Go for a ride and be okay not knowing where you're going" type of artist. And I know, I know,......that was the deepest comment anyone has *ever* said in this universe. And I'm like the smartest person of *all* time. And to that I say, you're welcome everyone.

yeaaa

4 year after this comment, this album is still breaking its own single-day streaming records. Only a few days ago it had its biggest streaming day EVER. The longevity of this album is remarkable. It even was in the top 10 most streamed albums on Spotify and the oldest album in the top 10 by far.

glad i’m not the only one 😃

LMAO OMG ME TOO

Same

Me tooo 😭😭

LMFAO SAME. WHEN HIS EYES WATER DURING 'OFF TO THE RACES' MY SOUL COMES ALIVE.

It's done now keep thy promise 😀

He needs to hear all of Lana Del Rey's albums

Luis Felipe Barea UV and NFR specifically. Lust for Life he might as well do even tho it’s her weakest album tbh

@@gregnuttall7421 Ultraviolence is a Bible.

Luis Felipe Barea trueee

Totally agree!

DO NOT forget about her masterful unreleased and amazing live performances!!! all deserve watching/listening to!

and a 100+ more unreleased songs :D

You can see her development from sad to not so sad.

Cecilia Phelps her billions of unreleased hits , I’ve been a Stan for years and still find new ones every month

Facts

Oh shit 👀😢

heroin especially. my fave ldr song of all time.

Omg Heroin is definitely one of my top 10 of hers

God yes

OW oh dear god he is not ready for heroin or imagine him watching the ride music video

LoganArnoldKicks all albums that i will listen to the death of meeee lmao

i do think Born To Die has more of a hip hop influence than Paradise. Paradise is more classic rock

And every single one of them is an artful masterpiece of their own ✨

Chemtrails: Folk Rock/Country/Indie

@@xavierdomenico Country folk but mostly folk

how do u explain this then 12:12

Wait until he reacts to Ultraviolence haha

Robust x literally what I said lmao

I think he did. That’s when the sunglasses came out. At least that’s what I’m gonna believe

When that hat went down, those tears were welling up. We can all relate!

very correct. most reactors overreact and don't give any feedback on what they feel or understand

Jon actually has things to say about the music and picks up some details that I never noticed. Usually not a fan of reaction channels but this is great.

Yup true most reactors nowadays just agree and say they like every song just for the views and such, this was a great reaction 👌🏽

Lost in Vegas are cool and do the same. Funny they’re kind of the inverse of Jon in that they started as hip hop only listeners and are now on a rock/metal marathon. They do a good job of promoting small artists too

miss anthropocene I thought I was on drugs when I heard her for the first time 8 years ago lmao

Adriana Murrillo same

The fact that you like grimes too speaks for your impeccable taste in music and artistry

@@rivrox17 girl staahp im blushing lol But yeah grimes music slaps so much

same, good old tumblr days

!!!!!!!

Yesss

Get this to the top 🤩😂 i NEED that reaction video in my life

I also love the monologue at the end of National Anthem it was written by John F Kennedy's wife and it always brings me to tears

Someone get this to top comment please I will buy you Dinner for a month

3 years after this comment, born to die is still earning its biggest streaming days ever! Only a few days ago it got over 7.3 million streams in a day and was the oldest album in the top 10 most streamed that day. Not to mention it’s still the longest charging debut of all time

"Jim raised me uuuppp""❤🔥

@@amandlela9466 excited for his Ultraviolence react.

Love this comment 😭

Best comment

Jim imma dedicate this whole album to you

Goody Ik multiple grammy nominations, multiple winning awards, the queen of indie, the queen of disaster (tiktok), the queen of summertime, well she IS not underrated btw :)

rar. Even though she has had all that, she still doesn't get enough recognition and credit. A lot of people didn't know who Lana was until her collab with Ariana Grande back in November. Lana is really on recognized for her popular songs off BTD and her Lust For Life collabs. High By the Beach is also an honorable mention. Her music isn't necessarily radio friendly nor what people want to play on the radio because it doesn't align with modern pop and production so she is severely underrated in that stance.

rar. not indie!! but very much alternative

I know!! I hope he does Ultraviolence. It will change his life.

born to die is a classic but i think ultraviolence and norman fucking rockwell! are her best so far, can’t wait for his reaction!!

YES ULTRAVIOLENCE IS THE GREATEST

I don't know if he'd love Ultraviolence if he's expecting a followup of Born to Die. I think before going into UV, he must be reminded that he's going into deeper and darker territories. Personally, I love UV the most

The chronological order of the records show us the growing of Lana, her thoughts, her mind. Like a fan (since 2012) I have to say NFR! is her best album for the moment. Is honest, sincere and mature. Her voice is clear and the instrumental is wonderfull. After so many years I didn't think she was going to surprise me with something better, but she shut my mouth and blow my head. My top three: 1 - Norman Fucking Rockwell! 2 - Ultraviolence 3 - Born to Die

lol

I really hope he does. I’m looking forward for it already.

Yes I agree. Listening to the albums in order one will get the full affect.

no proof that she graduated from Fordham...but you are correct that she studied metaphysics

The remix is a hit. I personally think they butchered it

Jackie Elizabeth i agree, the original is so much better and intense. lanas original melody matches the lyrics so much better!! it lets us feel it since it’s a pretty dark song lyrically

ALICE GRILLO such a banger

Jackie Elizabeth I love both versions

I like both for different reasons

when is it coming :0 ?

Lana szn is the summer (at least i think that’s what he means 🤗) california, beaches etc

YESSSSS

yes tea. Grammy is shit

Tristan Mendoza Scammyyyy

The Grammy's don't deserve lana

6 actually

she is now

There's a fan made mv of this song that uses the joker and Harley Quinn scenes for it.....I was so excited when he said that

Same vibey

A D sameee thats why i like watch reactions haha

same! nothing will ever compare to the first time of listening

Literally why I like watching his reactions

Maria C I love Lana

Exactly

Lust for Life and Honeymoon have hip hop influences in certain tracks

I love that her sounds change up from album to album! It seems like she fits every sort of sound with her storytelling & poetry. She’s so talented. 💗

Each album has its own majesty, distinct but cohesive with each other, listening to her albums needs you to be in different moods also

430 or something now. A masterpiece

The first time I heard ldr off to the races was playing at a store and I wrote it down the lyrics so I could go home and figure out who it was lol

@@elizabethbednar6338based asf lol. Would’ve done the same tbh

!!!!

Same dude😂

I knew about her and listened to a couple of her songs but one of my friends showed me her music videos while we were smoking and that shit hit way different lol

@@Guti_o9 was it shades of cool?

Christian Gutierrez yeh man I watched ride about 5 times that night hahah

That's probably the best way to be introduced to her music 😂

Do you know who the guy was?

@@michaelacaleb7919 I was reading a lot about that, but all of it are just theories. I believe she is singing abou the same guy in born to die, ultraviolence and honeymoon. In born to die she is singing about how he hurt her and that she will always love him - ultraviolence is much more darker, as she goes into details of that relationship (she describes him as cult leader and a depressed person). some fans believe his name is jim, as she mentions that name in a lot of songs, even the unrealeased ones (maybe it's jimmy gnecco, as she wrote a song about him and it was leaked). well what i know for sure is that her song In my feelings is about G-Eazy fucking her over Halsey and I believe Mariners Apartment Compplex is about Barrie James O'neill

Megi Rosic I believe the Jim she references is actually Jim Bean (because she said her first love was alcohol and her choice of drink was whiskey when she was an alcoholic), Jim Jones (because of the guru she followed in NYC), and Jim Morrison because she explicitly uses his name. Jimmy Gnecco is a musician who actually opened for lana on one of her tours, and they met in 2014, but he said on instagram that he’s not the one. i don’t believe she’s singing about jimmy gnecco because the time periods of when they met and when she wrote the songs do not really coincide (plus she reuses/repurposes lyrics a lot, so my personal theory is that she used the name jim once and if stuck because it’s pretty versatile and can have a lot of interpretations) i think jim might not be the actual name of the person but just a pseudonym

@@jdun1316 yeah that actually makes sense, thanks👍😄

I never thought about it that way tbh and it just further proves how genius Lana is. Her lyrics can be interpreted in so many ways and it can be looked at from many points of view 😍

It references Lolita directly a lot tho, another interesting viewpoint

There’s an edit of the song to hq and joker you can search it on yt it’s amazing!!

Not at all. The joker didnt love or care for harley. The lolita story is about a man who loves a young girl.

uhhhhhh

G C hands down

Elliot Cortese I mean.. I think I agree with “uhhhhh.” This album has a lot of problems and tbh I don’t think she really hit her stride until Honeymoon. Love parts of this album to death, but this album doesn’t survive outside of the cult appreciation and the then novelty of mixing classical motifs with Hip-Hop styled production.

Iam Gay lana is my top 3 i love her but this album just im my opinion in meh. it does have some bangers tho

during million dollar man he was like *🤓🥺😫🤩*

😭😭♥️♥️♥️🖤🖤🖤

same

True. I could hear this song in a Bond movie.

She performed this at iTunes festival truly mesmerizing! The best version

I didn't realise how hard it was until I tried to sing it haha

You obviously have heard her song “the man I love” it sounds like it would be perfect for a burlesque show 🥵🥵😍❤️

Sorry but burning desire is number 1 for me

yeah we got that. but it's also a double entendre. like scared that when she wakes up he won't be on the other side of the bed.

Way better than Abel lmao

@@elivincent3795 art is not a competition.

eli vincent nah nothing comes close to trilogy

yes

eli vincent Both are equally great. My two favorite male and female pop stars, by far.

Welcome to the darkness !

@@jennyB07 More like to the Light

You just stepped into the rose garden

I was young when this album was released so I just recently got around to listening to her :)

Ikr!!!!

Hope they get well soon ❤❤❤

Guillermo Aguirre RIGHTT

I have heard of her before from when summertime sadness got popular but that was it... until I started listening her in last last year to some of her unreleased stuff. And since lockdown I listened to a lot of her stuff and got hook. She is just so addicting and her music just slaps 😂

oh wow I didn't know that. Where did you learn this?

@@anastasiah8683 he said this in his early interviews. I believe it was on Reddit where he did questions and answers too.

THE UNRELEASED ARE INCREDIBLE

I miss BTD era. Even though I love Honeymoon and NFR... BTD was goold

Yesssss

Watch Ajay’s she literally cries within two seconds of NFR starting lol

ikrrr it's like reliving your own first listening experience

right! it’s a constant state of frisson for me

same here sister :)))))

YES!!! I kept tearing up for some reason. I couldn't stop smiling! I just love how you can tell he is really feeling it 🥰

man same i love her so much, not alot of ppl appreciate her :( especially her older music under lizzy grant

Uh no that song SLAPS. It's so fucking good.

Same tbh it's so fucking underrated

It was my first Lana song and still one of my faves. The needle drop also listed it as his favourite track on Born to Die. It’s very under appreciated

Nope I love it

I’m glad you guys feel the same ❤️ Lana is queen

Shit, he needs to react to that video from 9 or i think 11 years ago, that was hand down the best live off to the races she ever did

Wow its exactly the same for me

"Prolly" OMFG

Word
