Therapist Reacts To: Blue Jeans by LDR *I'm NOT okay - watch until the end bc I give a warning* 

I’m loving watching your reactions because people who are not fans of Lana usually say that she doesn’t sing, that she only murmurs and whines and all the songs are sad… And it’s not just about that… and you talk about the thoughts that the songs awaken in us, in a sincere and gentle way even in the criticisms.

A&W was also about how 'she was asking it' It's so great to remember all Lana videos scene by scene, and see how fast you get it, calling it before you see it in the video. So good you see her videos as warnings, because she's been judged for glamorizing abuse so much over the years.

One day a long time ago, I saw a theory about the video of Shades Of Cool, the theory said "The old man who appear in the video of "shades of cool" is the guy who appear in the videos of blue jeans and "born to die" already aged, and the lana who appears between the colors and pictures kinda psychedelic is the lana on heaven and the lana who appears close to the man is the spirit of her haunting the life of that old men, making him regret of kill her

you gotta react to “Carmen” and “Put me in a movie” by her !!!

Do Off to the races!! It's so good

That last scene reminds me of her song "Million Dollar Man" when she sings "if you're going crazy just grab me and take me, I'd follow you down down down, anywhere..." This is the second part of the trilogy that started with Born to Die. The next part is "Shades of Cool" when she's already dead and he's old and she haunts him through memories and visions.

Set your boundaries and MEAN them! You’re so right about that! Abso-f*ing-lutely! Now, on to the video…The guy in this video is a model/DJ named Bradley Soileau. As you already know, he’s also in the “BTD” video. In 2014, he also starred in the video for the song “West Coast.” (Great song, btw!) He was cast as her love interest in all these videos because he reminded her of her 1st true romantic love. Somehow, “Video Games” also ties into a trilogy about this 1st love, along with the songs “BTD” & “Blue Jeans”. “Video Games” is the song that put her on the radar. Another cool fact: Although the concepts for both song videos came from Lana, this video, as well as the “BTD” video were directed by Yoann Lemoine, who also directed Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream” video annnddd TayTay’s video for “Back to December”. Lyrics are very much her focus as a musician, much like Taylor. For example, in the first lyrics you mentioned: “You’re so fresh to death/And sick as can-cancer.” Let’s take the word “fresh.” Our minds tend to automatically go to “clean” or “pure.” She’s using the slang phrase, “Fresh to death” in the song as meaning someone who is very stylish, or who may have qualities that are so complex it makes that person indescribable. The catch is he’s ACTUALLY fresh “to death.” Which, speaks for itself. He drowns her… Also, “…And sick as can-cancer.” She’s going back to a slang word here, so you’re totally right! It’s not his Sign, and he’s not physically ill. In American slang, the word “sick” means “cool” and “impressive.” To her, he’s the best of the best! Yet, again, the play on words is he’s truly sick. However, I think I pointed this out in “BTD,” he’s not the only one who’s sick in this relationship. She is too in these songs/videos. I’m not gonna go through a list of why, because I’m not going to diagnose her and hear flack about it; but, Mere, you know as a therapist the sorts of issues she has going on from these songs and videos. I would REALLY LOVE if you would do reactions to two more songs on BTD album. It’s my fav. album of Lana’s, hands down! “This Is What Makes Us Girls” & “Carmen”. Lana says the whole BTD album is extremely autobiographical, but that these are her favorite songs because they are the songs she relates to the absolute MOST. “This Is What Makes Us Girls” is her reminiscing about a small group of girlfriends she had as a teen before her Mom sent her away. It’s about all their shenanigans. All true, according to her. “Carmen,”…Whew…It’s deep!!! It’s about teenage drinking, drug use, & prostitution. It would be a cool time to react to these because the last couple have been from the BTD album too. Plus, these are just absolute MUST HAVE listens and reactions! Love you BIG! ❤🦋✨

your new vibe is so cool. I see you transforming before our eyes, I know you're still going through it-- but I see a new woman emerging. Your energy is strong! Thank you for reacting to one of my FAVORITE lana videos

I need “Therapist Reacts to: freak music video” (and lyrics) This song has a cult feel, like Manson's Family or even the cult Lana belonged to. (sorry for the poorly written comment, I don't speak English fluently, but i Love your reactions) 🤍

Thank you Mere for sharing this reaction. I am so grateful to have Lana in our lives. Thanks for showing me how to learn from this song. Lana is a great teacher if you know how to listen. 🤗

when you talked about her looking at him and not the other way around it made me think of "Music to watch boys to"! You should react to that one even though it's not so deep, but it has a video. These videos make me fall in love with your intelligence while interpreting everything and with her artistry and power

You need to react to the National Anthem music video, its AMAZING

Mere, I am on the last chapter of your book and I really want to say thank you. I really felt seen and understood in a situation that has really paralyzed my thoughts and, feelings. Also so refreshing to laugh along at the stupid and crazy situations we find ourselves in when loving an addict and feel my feels. Excited to finish it and fill out the pages!

okay but can we talk about your hair? you're so elegant! oh my god-

Hi Mere!❤ You were absolutely right about predatory and animalistic things from the very beginning - when this guy keeps his eyes only over the surface of the water it is the exact allusion to an alligator or a crocodile, they observe like that while swimming

I felt like I watched this music video for the very first time here with you. Even though I've watched it for a million times, it's like I actually truly seen and felt it today. Thanks Mere 💜

I love the message of then of the video, I never thought that the video of blue jeans could be a warning to those kind of relationships. Love your reactions to Lana ❤️. And talking of Born to die, you should react to National Anthem music video 🙏🏼

Ty so much for actually understanding most of her stuff comes from a hurt place instead of just "complaining" or only viewing it as depressing music instead of emotional music. I love your reactions as somebody who really resonates with the stories she tells.

I love this music video by Lana, Blue jeans is one of my favorites of hers, second only to Get free which lives in my heart. An interesting thing to notice in this clip is that when he spins her in the water, it is doing the famous "death spin" that crocodiles use to disorient their prey and dismember its flesh so they can eat it. Which adds even more depth to this scene because right after this slow turn they sink together in the water, which suggests that she is already gone. Again I love this music video, Lana is amazing.

omg! you are SO GOOD at interpreting the songs/music videos, you say something and it gets confirmed right after! I watched this at the time it was released, so I’ve never really paid attention to it. loved that you are bringing these reactions

A Gods and Monsters video reaction would be great. Honestly Lana's videos are #Perfection

I love your reaction videos so much! I would love to see a reaction video for Carmen, as it's one of my favorite songs by Lana. :)

Thank you so much for the video Mere, you really do it even if sometimes is hard for you, so we really appreciate that. So happy you did this mv after born to die, now you have the 3rd one that is Shades of Cool to end the trilogy and know what happened years latter. ❤️

This video makes me cry. Thank you for going over this.

you have always been so pretty but you’re glowing lately! i cannot stop watching you the whole video you’re just so beautiful😭 your eyes and makeup and hair and just your whole attitude is just SO MOTHER

Lana is not just music, but feeling and poetry! I am more and more in love with your videos, continue with this amazing work! A kiss from Brazil.

Hi Mere! You should definitely check now her music video "West Coast". The love interest is the same guy here and you ll see the connections between Born to Die, Blue Jeans and Shades of Cool! Hope you will react to it soon! ❤ Have an amazing day! You're strong and beautiful.

That image of him holding her dead body at the end of born to die seems to be referencing the famous painting of POPOCATEPETL and IZTACCIHUATL

I really love how you just understand Lana's lyrics and are able to read between the lines because so many people don't even try to dig under the surface level and they just don't get it ! Lana sharing her experiences and writing from the victim pov isn't romanticizing toxic relationships she's just learning as everyone does and writing about it for you to not make the same mistakes. If you just watch any livestream of hers or interactions she's had with fans she's always giving advice and sharing her wisdom. Also since you mentioned Ultraviolence I feel like this song is so beautiful but the lyrics are so messed up so you're torn whether you wanna keep listening or not and I feel like that's the point it's the same when you're in toxic relationships you wanna leave but also you still love them so with Ultraviolence she's really putting you in that situation it seems, for you to understand how she feels.

I love your videos... and Ultraviolence really is an album that talks about this death of love... please listen and see more of Lana's videos! I love you

you look fantastic!!

This absolutely is a lot! I am enjoying seeing the visuals she puts to the lyrics as you share the videos. Water is so beautiful and can represent and be used in so many ways-including mysterious ones. I definitely feel her songs deeply but never am truly ready for the depth that hits upon watching the accompanying video. It’s unsettling but beautiful, putting you right where she is/wants you to be to truly understand her “story”. Heavy, beautiful, disheartening, and maybe hopeful for the message it brings to not end up staying on such a path. ❤ Your channel is a blessing! Have a wonderful day!

Love your reactions especially Lana reactions ❤️❤️

I'm also someone who was semi-"traumatized" by Lana's works & I stopped when I realized how toxic some of the songs were. What you're saying is so true & well said

I feel you on water....I love water too & I'm a Pisces ❤✨💦🏊🏽‍♀️🌧️🌞✨ (New to your channel)❤

can you react to Carmen or off to the races next please, I love your reactions , you really gets her

Water is an unstoppable force. I live in the area prone to cyclones and floods here in Australia. When the water is flowing there's nothing you can do about it except for making sure you and your property are safe. It is so easy for us in this day and age to believe that we're in control of everything and then THE Nature comes and shows you who's in charge. It is beautiful and humbling.

I’d love to see your reaction to summertime sadness. Lana wrote it about her best friends mental health and how it impacted her. It’s genuinely such a sad song about a friend of hers.

Your bangs and makeup are to die for!!!!

Love you Pls, Off to the races next ❤🇧🇷

Omg just saw this post and I’m watching it on my way to school 😄😄

I'm excited to jump into this video of yours, Mere !! 16 minutes of therapy that i haven't been able to get elsewhere ! After this I'd say would be the perfect time to jump into those lives I've mentioned ! From 2012, 2015, and 2018 ! From her Amoeba appearance in Hollywood, her endless summer tour, and Austin Texas shows, respectfully. They're SUCH good lives of hers, although i say that about ALL of her lives ! 😅❤ thank you dear !!!! Be well, Mere ! ❤❤

Nooo, she is the alegator, and he is the prey, she wasn't scared walking into the pool, she was walking in slowly so he would not be scared away, but in the end he ran away scared. He wasn't as gangster as she thought he was

I really like Lana Del Rey. She's beautiful and she has a wonderful sound. Her voice is so soothing and relaxing, and it makes my heart melt. She's one of the finest performers of our time.

YOU NEED TO DO SHADES OF COOL THE MUSIC VIDEO IS ETHERIAL 😭😭

she’s using sick as a compliment like saying he’s cool or he’s dope. he’s sick as cancer = cool asf

enjoyed it! subscribed 💯

Thank you so much for this. I feel like I am watching and listening to this for the very first time with your reaction. Very perceptive analysis of this great track. Lana has a unique way of bringing you into a song from the beginning and just completely mesmerizing you from start to finish with her unique vocal style and lyrics. Add in the instrumentation and you are in absolute musical heaven. Frequently comparisons are drawn between artists who may have similar musical styles. But with Lana there is absolutely no one to compare her to. She stands alone and is a one of a kind original. Plus she frequently makes me cry. This verse breaks me emotionally every time I hear it to this day: I will love you till the end of time I would wait a million years Promise you'll remember that you're mine Baby, can you see through the tears? Love you more than those bitches before Say you'll remember, oh baby Say you'll remember, oh baby, ooh I will love you till the end of time

I really love your interpretations. I just broke up with my ex a few days ago because I screamed at in my face because I told him he was too drunk to drive and then proceeds to bring home another person to sleep with an hour later while I was left alone at a bar waiting for an Uber. Sighs. You are correct. I don’t have to put up with anything, especially this toxic behavior. I’m glad it ended when it did because I believe it would’ve killed me (emotionally/physically).

hi Mere, there’s a homemade original mv of Blue Jeans (made by Lana!) and I’d recommend checking it out. it captures the vibes much better in my opinion. love your videos ❤

PLEASE YOU NEED TO REACT TO "I TALK TO JESUS" BY LANA. IT'S SUCH A DARK SONG

i also laugh during scenes like this, i think it’s a coping mechanism too. i absolutely love how you we both think the same about the meanings

I love your videossssss help 😭😭😭💗💗💗💗 I'm a Brazilian subscriber and I love your observations during the videos. A suggestion for the next react, could you react to Lana del Rey's "Salvatore"? I saw it and you still haven't reacted to this precious thing! Ty 💗

He didn't kill her, she was ride or die for him, she was willing to drown with him, but he ran away. She was the predator, and he was the prey who ran away

Ok totally off topic but your bangs look so good!

You should react to 13 beaches!!! The lyrics its sooo goddam deep

i just love so much ur channel, like literally is one of the best contents in RU-vid, is educative, and ALWAYS has music of my favorites artists. and i have SO MANY songs that im dying to see you reacting to, i REALLY would love to see some tupac (especially his song keep your head up) melanie martinez, yungblud, sza... i think u would like alot their music (i really would love to see ur analysis on their music). Again i just love your videos thank u so much to share all your knowledge with us. Sending lots of love❤

Mere, you look so gorgeous! The hair, the make-up, that maroon blouse!! I'm loving it. On another note, I love how this video is so subtle yet so powerful. I want to know who "they" are. She says "then they took you away, stole you out of my life" and I want to know if it is like, the cops or a gang or a group or something. I didn't think about it being drugs or alcohol. If her man was chasing paper, I always imagined he was a drug dealer and got caught. I hope you feel better after this experience, as always

Hi mere I personally love your work and I think you absolutely give a great explanation of music you really get me to think about the music I listen too and you also help me find songs that I end up really loving you help me understand the meaning behind the lyrics or just your opinion which really helps anyway thank you for all your videos really do appreciate them I do recommend you “this is what makes us girls “ by Lana del Rey ❤

i think you should react to more mitski songs, in my opinion her lyricism is very beautiful and touching in a way. i love your videos 💕

yesss another Lana reaction

You NEED "to react to letter to my 13 year old self" by Laufey pleaseee

Lanaaaaa why you keep on dying😂😭

Love your reactions, i would love if you reacted to the tropico short film she made.

Please react to Thunder! It is my favorite song from Lana and it is so deep,i love your reactions❤

Watching this is like watching my more mature (and wiser) healthy self watching my younger, naive and codependent self in horror!

Masterpiece

i NEEDDDD an ultraviolence reaction

kinda offtop but you look georgeos! that eyeliner just wow!🤩

14:17 yesssss!!!!!

I wish English was my mother tongue so I could express everything that I think about this video 😭. But anyway, amazing reaction as usual. Love you ♥️ Take care

these are my favorite reactions because at the end MERE SAID NO HES BAD lol

I love these music video reactions because they are so insightful and truly shed light on the metaphors and messages throughout. Also, your bangs are so beautiful!!

In the end, when the boy drags Lana into the water, it means that the boy drags Lana into the dark and gangster world and Lana, out of love, simply lets herself be carried away by what will bring her death.

Chemtrails over the country club video! Please where??

I hate when guys put their fingers in my mouth. I only had it happen twice when I was younger but it really gives me a creepy, unsettling feeling.

I think i need to see an interview with you and lana, and also i need to book therapy with you, you ´re so amazing, i am always waiting, when you upload a new video 😅🫶🏼

I was analyzing how much I like some songs like these about “loving you forever even if you’re trouble” especially after listening to western night from ethel cain and I realized that… I actually like it because is kinda of what I wanted to recieve, you know? I mean, I’m very self aware and I have my problems with BPD and everything so I always think “is someone gonna be able to love me if I’m like this?” (which is why I connect so much with peace by taylor) so basically me giving this love is because I want it back. For example when she says “i’m a ride or die whether you fail or fly, well shit at least you tried”, meaning you don’t need to be rich, successful or perfect to be loved! Obviously, I’m well aware of the differences between a toxic and dangerous relationship like she portrayed and a non conditional love like I described, I just guess that’s why I resonate with it since I always felt like I had to be good and perfect to be loved even by my family, so it says something… I feel like in many ways I became the one I needed and wanted in my life, I’m my own person now (it’s great to be strong and independent but also kinda lonely ngl), but I’m open to be like that and teach others how to do that too, you know? To love better, I mean. (somehow this ended up under the wrong video, i think my yt is bugging???)

Could u do carmen and the music video? That is art

I love your reactions! I would love for you to analyze "The Devil Within" by Diggital daggers

Dizem que no clipe de Shades of Cool quando ela aparece no vidro da sala daquele homem nadando na verdade ela já está morta e que ele inclusive faz o sinal da cruz quando ela aparece. Dizem que é o Espírito da Lana atormentando o velho...pode ser que aquele velho é esse homem quando era jovem em Born to Die e Blue Jeans

Love you❤

im sorry y’all but this video is ICONIC

Those scenes make me uncomfortable too. Thank you for being honest, I always feel so weird for it. Also you look like Taylor with bangs!

Hi mere I really appreciate and enjoyed this video I recommend (paper bag) by Fiona apple because I remember you saying that you were interested in doing something of Fiona's ❤

Are you gonna do “Radio” by Lana? Also her “tropico” film is something I want your opinion on as well. Especially the 7minute mark, about womanhood. ❤❤❤❤

She's a cancer sun Leo moon Scorpio rising I think me too so never thought about the water thing as a water sign but a very important aspect personality part of me like can instantly tell when run into a fire sign for example.. it's weird that's a whole other topic lol

Hi Mer! Any plans to react to Arcadia soon?

please react to tropico i need to know your thoughts about this short film!

Water is emotional on tarot or also witchcraft. Water is the deep emotionals💙

i'd really like to see your reaction on put me in a movie (also ily your reactions and you definitely feel like a safe place to me😭)

Mere, could you PLEASEEE react to either “Florida Kilos” “Carmen” or “Black Beauty” these are such lovely songs of Lana’s

Are you from socal San Diego?

The guy in the video, is part of the story she tells over the course of her sophomore release.

Perfect 🎉

Can you do yayo pls?

You should react to AURORA, her music is like therapy

This song reminds me of the story of the snake in the garden of eden.

You have to know that the music video starts with born to die, blue jeans ( when he killed her, the relationship, soul) and then in west coast and shades of cool ( ultraviolence) she’s haunting him when he’s old !

i am a huge fan of Lana Del Rey and i love your reactions 🫰🏽 please do “White Flag” by Dido
