The song and video are autobiographical. The scenes in the desert of Utah are inspired by her time in her late teens helping to build on the Navajo reservation after getting clean around 14 or so. After getting sober she moved to NYC to be closer to her uncle because her home life was abusive because of her mother. She survived being forcibly separated from her family and a suicide attempt. While in New York she said she would “walk the streets at night and just go with people”. When a reporter pointed out that wasn’t exactly safe she mentioned that she had never been hurt because she had a good read on people and went on to talk about how for a few years there she was “just lost … I didn’t even have a social security card”. Soon after or even during this period she joined a cult and would eventually write about it in her song “ultraviolence”. After a few years she eventually made her first album and used the money to move into a trailer park. You can actually watch the interview of her showing off her old trailer on RUclips! My fav part is when one of the reporters noticed a lot of crime scene tape on a trailer and nervously inquired about it and Lana insists “oh no- he’s really sweet”. This girl has lived the rock and roll lifestyle.
Can you give me sources for this, please? I would like to see Lana talk about this if there is something available. Up to the trailer park interview, I’ve seen that ❤
Lana is art. So glad you’re becoming a fan. This video was crazy when it came out. Like it was just so different. I think you’ll be really excited by her newer stuff because it really makes you think. But ya buckle up.
Lana del Rey is a worldwide phenomenon, an icon of modern music, and a highly gifted poet and songwriter. I see her work independent of one song, all her albums were a huge success, not the kind of Top 10 hits that come and go. Her work as a whole is a piece of art, for the music as well as for the lyrics. In the same way we look at authors which describe certain periods of American Life, her songs do just that. She is highly underrated in mainstream music, but she has millions of fans worldwide....including my 13 year old daughter (which surprised me initially). She can be a female role model, not in the way the song depicts, but in terms of freedom and power.
I think this song and video are a unity. It always astounds me how people are touched by it. So many different generations can relate to this song. Boomers, Gen X, Millenials, Gen Z - a true masterpiece.
It’s been a decade since .. the impact of this 10 minute masterpiece is responsible for all my choices, transgressions , conviction and my struggles … “I’m alone in midnight “ welp
Watching this video and going to her latest one Candy Necklace is like… SHE FINNALY DID… she succeeded… not about famous or money. Bout’ been here at this time being as she is… Other women died been someone else or with their own performance… Lana is an artist that just appear in history in a weird time of time. And keep her is soooo mesmerising… If U want the full context bout her personal journey… listen. Old money… swang song. Dark but just a game. Wildfire wildflower. And the 2 masterpieces of her AOTY album.” Kintsugi and fingertips”
A great song, artist and reaction, Sal. I really am curious of what you think of Lana Del Rey & Father John Misty covering his song "Buddy's Rendezvous."

another wild experience from lana is tropico! its a 27 minute short film with 3 of her songs from the same album ride is on.
Nothing more beautiful and heartwrenching than the human condition .
Thanks to your reaction videos I'm becoming a big Lana fan.
I think this song and video are a unity. It always astounds me how people are touched by it. So many different generations can relate to this song. Boomers, Gen X, Millenials, Gen Z - a true masterpiece.
Stunning masterpiece.

You need to react to the short film she made Tropico, it's a masterpiece.
This song will take you out of this universe. One of her best
I enjoy that you exquisitely explore the emotions of music.
She is artist!

Nope. Great voice, but her music just doesn't do a thing for me.
