"People romantize the idea of 'when you know you know'"...  girl I can't wait for you to listen to Ocean Boulevard 😂😂😂

Norman is all about escapism. Each song talks about different ways to escape from reality and problems. The cover features a burning America, a painted sky, and Lana sailing away with a man on a boat. This is literally the cover of escapism. Lana does not want to see the new America, because she knows that it will end in fire, and instead of these worries she decides to run away to sea
, presenting America as illusory, drawn by an artist. THIS IS JUST GENIUS

"Why wait for the best when I could have you?"....when she sang that line in concert she'd go "Actually, fuck that" afterward.  :)

“is it safe to just be who we are?” regardless of how many times i’ve listened to this lyrics, it still gets me every time it’s so sad 😢

I had no clue music could sound so good till I was introduced to this album

Girl, don’t take any pressure of these people here in the comments. Do your reactions in your own time, and take all the time you need to enjoy the music. Enjoy the process in your own way♥️

Chemtrails came out in March of 2021 and Blue Banisters came out in October of 2021. So if you want to keep reacting to the albums in order of release I would go with Chemtrails.

This album, simply put in Lana's words, is "sad girl shit." In all seriousness, she is the most romantic and sensitive soul there has ever been. This kind of music will never be replicated.

Excited for Ocean Boulevard now. It's on top with Norman and it has been nominated for album of the year too at the Grammys.

I've been a fan of Lana for many years, so I know all the songs you're reacting to. But you still manage to find new things and meanings from the songs even on your first listen! I'm not a native english speaker so some metaphors just fly over my head. That's why I love your reactions to the songs because you can interpret the songs so well! Also I love how watching these reactions just feels like we're friends and hanging out listening to Lana. You're doing such a good job on these videos and I can't wait for your reaction to the last three albums 🫶🏼

So California was written about Barrie James O'Neil, one of Lana's exes from around 2011. The songs Black Beauty, Flipside, Thunder and more were about him.
Barrie struggles with depression which is one of the reasons they broke up. I just find there love for eachother to be something else, even to this day they care so much about eachother. He even privately messaged another reactor who does Lana to thank him for appreciating her music which is just adorable i cried when the guy said Barrie had messaged him. He's an artist too and helped make a lot of her earlier songs, and even to this day he still does lives on instagram covering her songs. Barrie is Scottish so thats why she says 'if you come back to America'. He's also the guy who gave her the line 'pussy tastes like pepsi cola' lol

I hate that the lyrics are wrong, she actually sings "I'm the BOLT, the lightning, the thunder" and that's so fucking powerful

Hi, Cass! Love your reactions of Lana's albums. One fun fact about Venice B*tch is that Lana showed up with the song for her managers like "I think this is my next single" and they told her "are you kidding me? It's called Venice Bitch and it last 10 minutes? Why can't you make a 3 minutes normal pop song?", but she told them "it's end of summer and some people just wanna drive around for 10 minutes and get lost in some electric guitar"

She really knows what we need, and it's my very favorite song of hers.💙

The links to alcoholism in her songs, in how to disappear specifically, is referencing her past. Lana struggled with alcoholism and drugs during her teenage years so she was sent to a boarding school which is also referenced in ‘this is what makes us girls’. She decided to pursue music and went through many stage names (may jailer, sparkle jump-rope queen, Lizzy grant) before finally deciding on the name Lana Del Rey. Also, her given name is Elizabeth Grant which you may noticed on the song credits, she doesn’t have any children currently, but talks about the name clementine (dance till we die - chemtrails over the country club) and Angelina (cherry blossom - blue bannisters). It you want to know more about her past I would recommend listening to her audio book and her most recent album, dykttatuob. Love your reactions btw.

Nothing can convince me that NFR is overhyped. It’s perfect from start to finish chef’s kiss

I actually like that you take your time in between albums, that means that you actually take your time fully enjoy and understand an album. And that makes your reactions so much organic and enjoyable to me knowing that you are becoming a true Lana fan, not just listening to the albums for the sake of pleasing people o more youtube views. Keep doing you♥️✨

girl, like fr i really missed your Lana reactions😭😭

Oh, when she said "and people usually romanticize this stupid idea of when you know you know" I was like, girl.... did you know that there's is a tunnel under ocean Blvd?

I'm so excited for the next 3 albums because she really deep dives into her past. The last song of the album is like a teaser
