This song is POETRY 🥲 | First Time Listening to Lana Del Rey | Poetry Tips from Songs 

Pardon my sick self! (Not sick anymore, but I was when I filmed) And ohhh goodness this song was saaaaad 🙈 but beautiful. What's your favorite line from Kintsugi? Orrrr, do you have a favorite Lana Del Rey song?

I hope you never stop listening to Lana on this channel. Her music, but especially this album, is pure poetry. I think "Fingertips" could be your next Lana reaction, I think it's one of her saddest songs if not the saddest.

her song "fingertips" from the same album is her most impressive writing in my opinion, it really looks more like a poem than a song, theres not chorus or verses structured like a song, and the lyrics has soooo many thing to unpack!

It’s really shocking the discrepancy of views between Taylor videos and non-Taylor videos. But I admit, I only watch videos on my favorite artists. That said, Lana songs are a goldmine and I can’t wait to see more videos on her.

a lot of people are recommending “fingertips” as the next song because it gives you the most context on her life and what she’s been through (and recontextualizes other songs from her past album) but it’s very much free form writing, it’s a diary entry basically and it’s very unstructured. it’s good in the sense that it was very much needed in her discography, it put everything into perspective, but i’d love for you to react to some of her other songs. maybe ones that are very visual or play with the pop structure. “off to the races” feels like a movie, “ride” short film includes a 5 min monologue that’s pure poetry, “Gods & Monsters” is one of her darkest and most depressing songs but not too many people tend to grasp why. “Blue Banisters” and “Arcadia” are very lyrically interesting i think you’d enjoy breaking those down.

heey! great analysis of this lyric, "Kintsugi" kinda has a lot reference to death, family and loss (something that Lana talks about a lot both on Kintsugi and Fingertips, the next track). When she talks about the "turn of the mouth" or "depth of that chest cavity takes" she's directing to the void about the loss of someone close or relative. Family, as well, is a common theme in the whole album, for example when she says "Chuck was there" (Chuck is her sister, Caroline 'Chuck' Grant). I think she also references her Uncle David Grant Jr who died while she was on tour in 2016 and how she was not able to be with him. Also, Donoghue was her boyfriend at the time, Jack Donoghue.

listen to hope is a dangerous thing by lana!!

if you liked this song/poem you should look into Fingertips from her last album!

The clutch of the wrist line is indeed a little elusive but my interpretation was that someone was grieving with her at the funeral and he took her hand into his and sort of bit on it to suppress the tears, but then it wasn’t his hand after all. I think it’s meant to paint a picture of a distraught person who’s too into their grief that they can’t tell if it’s his hand or someone else’s. I also think the line about the songs from the 40s is meant to show how the traditions in her family runs deep and she feels as if she’s been missing out on so much of that because she’s busy with her career, she touches on that as well in Fingertips from the same album. It’s like, oh wow so all of these people know these songs even the 14 year old and they have this strong bond but all the people that knew the songs that I sang are now dead and I couldn’t be there for their funerals. It’s a devastating song. I also wanna tell you she wrote this song about 3 members of her family dying one of them is her uncle who died in the mountains, so that’s why she’s probably going back to that place that is tied with her uncle to ruminate on her own blurry processing of the whole situation. I love that you noticed a discrepancy when she said she’s running away and that’s how the light shines in, I think she’s trying to evoke the feeling of confusion and loss, because sometimes you talk to some friends about your grief and they tell you the only way out is through and others tell you just let it go and ignore it and have fun or whatever so maybe it’s supposed to show how uncertain and non-linear the process of grief is. These are just my thoughts and this song is so close to my heart. I’m glad you got to experience it.

react to fingertips by lana please !! I LOVED THIS REACTION

I more interpreted the lines around "Even the fourteen year old [...]" was about that she was now at the funeral and they were singing their old traditional family folk songs and she was impressed that everyone in her family knew those as well

You are so great! I love hearing you! I really hope your channel blows up, you deserve it.❤ Greetings from Argentina.

That line is "cough into his mouth", whichever website has those lyrics got them wrong. She explained that line in an interview: Lana Del Rey's great-uncle Dick was so dazed the night before he died that he accidentally grabbed the singer's wrist and coughed into her hand.

Lana is the one when it comes to poetry! 😌 He even has a book of poetry called "Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass" you can check it out if you want. 😊

Fingertips pleaseeeeeee❤

Hope is a dangerous thing by lana pleasee

Yeesaah more lana pleaseee could you do more from this album? Maybe the title track or fingertips

she has a whole book of poetry as well!! violet bent backwards over the grass!

So excited to see u breaking down Lana!!! Do Sweet next! Also really ADORE Love Song from Norman Fucking Rockwell.

React to finger tips and A&w both are extremely confessional and A&W is an insane trip

Ooh please keep exploring Lana's music!! Fingertups is a great, natural follow-up. ❤

Amazing video, you will love Lana.. there really isn’t an artist that is dealing with such complex emotions with such layered lyrics album after album, and taking most of them from her own trauma/life.. She is a generational talent, and you have a decade of albums to eat into !

This is my favorite song ever, thank you for reacting.

I need you to analize all her discography and poetry book now!!!

Yayyy. Lana and Taylor are my favorite songwriters 💜

some artists whose writing i find poetic are gracie abrams (especially her) and maisie peters, i think you would enjoy analyzing graci immensely

More Lana please!!!! ❤

Oh Lana is a Goldmine when it comes to her lyrics( besides her music) she also has a poetry book which is also very good ( in my opinion)

The clutch of the wrist is abt him crying and sobbing on her arm

pleaseeeee more LANAAAAA, pleaseeee,

Can you do more with Lana’s music please..😊

I loved it. You should do FINGERTIPS 🙌🏻

Great explanation !! You should also checkout Ellie Goulding's abum Brightest Blue, it is just so poetry.

You should check out Fingertips i feel like its just as good if not better. Its a bit like free verse poem that kind of asks the BIG questions: how did i get here? And where am i going? Who do I owe myself to? Who am i? Only important context (bc lana has become very autobiographical) is that charlie and Caroline are her siblings and caroline just had a baby. Also that lana eas a teen alcoholic and was institutionalized by her mother.

Oh the lyric, he thought mine was his to COUGH into his mouth, not carve. The lyrics haven’t been released officially so most lyric sites have errors or disagreement on them.

I think the song is about her seeing all her elders dying and seeing she's next in line. "There's a certain point the body can't come back from", "i don't know anyone left to know songs that i sing"

a bit of context with the “thought mine was his to carve into his mouth” she said in an interview recently that she was sitting with her relative who was dying and he grabbed her hand to cough into because he thought it was his own hand

Please react to Fingertips or The Grants by Lana please❤

fingertips next please

Lana the poet lauret of 21st century

I would love you to react to The Blackest Day by Lana Del Rey

REACT TO FINGERTIPS TOO, it has a similar structure to kintsugi. Lana describes the two songs like "meditative writing"

OK before I go any further I saw the song title and didn't know Lana del Ray had done a song called Kintsugi, I am far more used to the song of the same title by English singer-songwriter Gabrielle Aplin ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-edK_j7w3_5E.html from 2020. It's well worth a listen.

I’m pretty sure the lyrics online for this song are wrong. She says “cough into his mouth” not “carve,” at least that’s what it sounds like. So to me that paints an image of someone on their deathbed being confused, and grabbing her wrist to cough into, thinking it was his own wrist

Please listen to “No body, No crime” from Taylor Swift. I know you are going to love it

YOU NEED TO REACT TO THE ALBUM NORMAN FUCKING ROCKWELL

Sorry, I don't know where to ask so I'm gonna try here, do you think you could react someday to some BTS songs? They have many lyrically beautiful songs like "Fake Love" or "Black Swan" and it would be great to hear your opinion! (the translations are right on the official videos)

Listen to fingertips by Lana del Rey

react to Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have, but i have it

React to vampire by Olivia rodrigo!!!

I believe the lyrics are “to cough into his mouth” instead of to carve

Fingers tips

Go more abstract with Lana.

react to more lana plis

u really have to listen to “my tears ricochet” by Taylor Swift
