You explain things to your dad extremely articulately, especially moments in social and pop culture! You guys are so endearing, I like this channel a lot.
Watching the older generations discover her for the first time is a singular joy. She is one of the very few whose aesthetic and sound transcend truly manage to transcend generations.
Lana's music lives in a space where one sensation, leads you into another sensation. Shades of Cool is one of my favorites because she details a failing relationship with someone who does nothing but hurt her and sonically it's sad, gorgeous and overwhelming. The song takes you through the stages of emotions including a full meltdown into a calm acceptance of it all.
Your dad was onto something with the Amy Winehouse reference. Lana cites her as an inspiration. What’s interesting about Lana is that she includes her musical points of reference in her lyrics via shout outs to artists…but incorporates it into the songwriting, so it never feels tacked on. I loved this reaction, and I would love to see you guys cover Mariner’s Apartment Complex or Let The Light In♥️
they both have that melancholic vibe going on that not many other artist can depict that beautiful. My uncle said the same when we were once talking about her music.
First time I heard Lana was when my husband gifted me a record player and a vinyl of her first album which was a random choice. Ended up listening to it for hours in the dark, hanging off the bed. Lol. Great video guys!
Bro, your dad seems like a really cool guy and all of his analysis of the song was really good. Video Games is her first big success and it's very good as listening nowadays, she's not at all generic or commercial.
It is her stage name. Her actual name is Elizabeth Grant. Lol I was hoping you’d mention it but it seems you didn’t know. Your dad was spot on about the name sounding like Californian towns. There’s a place in CA called Marina Del Rey. How she got the name though was because she spent a lot of time in Miami, speaking Spanish and was influenced by her Cuban friends. She’s also evidently influenced by California/ old Hollywood in general which is very blatant in her music/lyrics. 4:15 😇
Lana Del Rey said before she was a singer she was an alcoholic and she was going nowhere. And she said she picked up a microphone and started singing and stopped drinking. So Singing saved her life.
It’s funny so I have two daughters; Alana Rae and Amaya. We listened to Lana Del Rey quite a bit when my girls were maybe 5 and 6 and I had to lie to them and say some of the songs were by Lana Del Rey and some were by Maya Del Rey just to keep the peace.
It says so much that he wants to work through her music chronologically. He genuinely loves her. I love seeing people’s first reaction to her voice because there is truly nothing like it. It’s always the first time someone has felt something for the first time and it’s so special being able to witness it
Lana has come to be known as like a chronicler of California, or the American condition, without really making explicit statements on it. I def would love to see you dive into her discography!!!
Well this year I hardly listened to Lana at all, thanks for reminding me of how much I love her. I think your dad would love "Did you know there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd?" My favorite Lana song is Love Song.
My brother and I often share music with each other that we think the other might like. I remember when he sent me the link to this video and I became an instant fan of Lana. It was unlike anything I ever heard. Still am a huge fan. She has a great catalog and she has also done great songs for Movies.
Omg I’m so glad you mentioned Nancy Sinatra and bang bang! One of my all time favorite singers along with Lana. Never knew she compared herself with her, makes a lot of sense.
Thank you so much for giving him this moment. I would like to see him react to anything from Honeymoon or Ocean Blvd, like God knows I tried or kintsugi or white dress. Ugh I wish we were already deep into her discography cause if there’s any artist who can make him feel connected to his youth is Lana.
I adore you guys so much. Your relationship is seriously so beautiful. Dad is so sincere… he is so nurturing in a way you can only understand if you’re a parent… it’s hard to explain… like…you let your kid talk about a time/place/something special in their life without interrupting and making it about yourself… you let them have their moment, you validate them by truly listening to their experience. The way you guys so openly communicate and share is seriously so touching. Sorry for the rant 🤣 probs didn’t make sense.. but yeah love you guys!!
I get the Adele reference because she has a lot of Jazz and blues like Amy Winehouse, but Lana is different she does 50s and is inspired by Nina Simone, Billie Holidays. She also does a lot of Marilyn baby voice of the women in the 50s who her character is mostly influenced by.
This was such a respectful, loving discussion dedicated to one of the best modern musicians 💛 this is the attention she deserves! Since you mentioned LDR referring to herself as a "gangster Nancy Sinatra", you should listen to her cover of Summer Wine! She sang the duet with Barrie-James, her ex
I'm a die-hard hip-hop head, but Lana is my favorite artist of all time. If you get the chance, you gotta show your dad the title track off her third album Honeymoon. Her harmonizing and vocal control on that track is absolutely jaw-dropping.
Oh yeah, i been waiting for this! Considering your dad comentary about chronologic order, i think the next one HAS to be BORN TO DIE! Kisses from Brazil 🇧🇷
2011 I was a sophomore in HS… Absolutely blew me and my friends minds away. Still a Lana Stan still this day. Seeing her for the second time at Coachella this year 😭🩷🩷🩷
I recently discovered you channel and have been enjoying every video very much. I glad you see you are still making videos and I will be watching newer videos of yours but Lana Del Rey is one of my favorites and I am so happy your dad loved it. One point about her voice intensifying, like your dad mentions, could be also her love is intensifying throughout the song.
Lana Del Rey is so good. This was a great choice, love this song so much! ❤ Dad is being introduced to so much because of the channel & thats so cool but also Kai is too with Dads prog rock from his youth which is awesome 😎❤
Lana Del Rey is Awesome!…The 1st Time I was Introduced to her was in 2012, She was Already Huge & was Considered a Prodigy of the 2010’s!…But her Music Blew My Mind!…She was to Me what Most People thought about Amy Winehouse!…Amy was Dope but I ONLY Vibed with a Handful of her Songs (Including Nas’ Work)!…But Lana is Dope!…Another Great Choice!…
Great content! Loving all the reactions! Would definitely like to see a ‘summertime sadness’ reaction! & when are we gonna get a reaction to Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool??
SS and Born to die are obvious OGs of that era, but would love to hear about Off to races, National Anthem (esp with the video concept) or maybe Ride? Also, would be pretty exciting to see you touch on Ultraviolence in the future. Speaking of old references, have you ever heard her cover of Nancy's Summer wine? absolutely ADORE her version of it
Such a good choice to share. I hope you also share the song and video for "National Anthem"...her poem/monologue at the end about Jackie O. gives me shivers every time.
I just came upon your channel and have subscribed. I love that you can share your love of music with your Dad - or vice versa that he shared it with you growing up. I find her voice to be mesmerizing. Also, from what I read, she created this video herself. It’s definitely a time warp and each individual photo needs to be dissected on its own merits. A whole essay could be written about the photos and time periods chosen and their placement within the video. Just fascinating!!
would be nice to react now to "Did you know there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd" to see a 2023 Lana writing and voice - compared to her debut with video games
It still trips me out when I hear people saying they've grown up with her music. Video Games came out when I was 19 and she's been the soundtrack to my entire adult life. Really beautiful video, I appreciate the thoughtfulness and consideration you both treat the music with.
My first slow dance with my girlfriend was to this song at our 8th grade promotion dance. Didn’t know that song at all when we were dancing and course my girlfriend did. Now anytime I hear this song I get emotional with nostalgia of that moment
I absolutely love Lana’s songs from back in the day 2011. She gave the quality back to music that we lost from the party 2010s Amy whinehouse passed in 2011 and I think she was someone to fit in her shoes
Haven't listened to this song since my teens; what a voice and impressive artistry with her instrument. Sorry to say to your dad, I was also a massive fan of Skrillex.
What a lovely conversation. I’m often told by people that I look like Lana, so I thought I’d dive into her music… hence, finding your channel. New sub ❤
I’m so glad you introduce your dad to Lana Del Rey, her whole discography is amazing
I agree. I’ve loved her for the last decade.❤️ I really want her to win one of her Grammy awards…. But whatever happens she deserves it.👍🏾
she doesn’t have one single bad song it’s crazy

I admire the relationship you have with your dad.
@PatrickS.Tomlinsondl? Down low?
youre disgusting@@LSD77777
"Blue Jeans", "Born To Die" and "Ride" are all-time favorites, as well. The whole album is just perfect from front to back though.
Agree with all of those 100%, along with Summertime Sadness
really need to see a reaction to ride! i’d do anything to be able to listen to the song w the entrance monologue for the first time all over again 🥲
Lizzy Grant is better than Lana
Yes, RIDE
@@x-LINX-x theyre the same person dawg
I would love to see you and your dad explore Lana’s discography in chronological order!! That would be such a magical journey for him to react to!
startin from where? When she was lizzy grant or just the fake fan stuff?
@@x-LINX-xyou are so annoying lol. Get over youself😅
@@jossfuckingrockwell lmao, i was just livin my girls energy; am what u call a 'fake fan' with cheat codes aha

That whole album is my favourite, like it’s just too good and I can’t handle it. I hope she revisits some of the sounds from it in future!
Shades of Cool my hands down favorite.

First time I heard Lana was when my husband gifted me a record player and a vinyl of her first album which was a random choice. Ended up listening to it for hours in the dark, hanging off the bed. Lol. Great video guys!
Wow what a beautiful moment
Aww that's actually so cute! 🥰
I have a feeling your dad is going to love Lana! I can tell he'll appreciate her vintage/retro Americana vibes.
Bro, your dad seems like a really cool guy and all of his analysis of the song was really good. Video Games is her first big success and it's very good as listening nowadays, she's not at all generic or commercial.
Lana's lower register is a thing of beauty 💓

listening to lana del rey in elementary is nuts
I know what you mean, but I've been listening to The Beatles all of my life so you can find great music young 😂
I was listening to slipknot, Metalica, Korn, and tool when I was 8 LMAO @@ADAMdinho1
i started listening to her in the 3rd grade😭
How did an 11 year old even find Lana Del Rey in 2011?
@@natemekis3959 probably tumblr or something

I tie her with Nate Dogg as the most west coast artist of all time. Ironically my two favorite artists who also heavily represent Long Beach
Well this year I hardly listened to Lana at all, thanks for reminding me of how much I love her. I think your dad would love "Did you know there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd?" My favorite Lana song is Love Song.
Your dad is awesome 😊. You're so lucky having him.

Can’t wait to see your dad discover Lana’s work ❤
Omg I’m so glad you mentioned Nancy Sinatra and bang bang! One of my all time favorite singers along with Lana. Never knew she compared herself with her, makes a lot of sense.
Lanas last album maybe is the best way to introduce your dad into her world, is more soft and personal, i think hes gonna like it a lot
You articulated everything so well at the beginning. I don't even listen to much of her music, but it's so memorable and creates a big atmosphere.
Yeah I always heard the Nancy Sinatra comparison too. A really interesting style of music that cuts deep with the melancholic sound.
Thank you so much for giving him this moment. I would like to see him react to anything from Honeymoon or Ocean Blvd, like God knows I tried or kintsugi or white dress. Ugh I wish we were already deep into her discography cause if there’s any artist who can make him feel connected to his youth is Lana.
I feel like Born To Die is a must but would love to see Blue Jeans and Summertime Sadness. Very cool to see Lana added to the mix!
Melancholic, grand, and soft are definitely Lana’s staples. It’s so atmospheric. You should listen to Young and Beautiful or Money Power Glory.
I adore you guys so much. Your relationship is seriously so beautiful. Dad is so sincere… he is so nurturing in a way you can only understand if you’re a parent… it’s hard to explain… like…you let your kid talk about a time/place/something special in their life without interrupting and making it about yourself… you let them have their moment, you validate them by truly listening to their experience.

Sorry for the rant 🤣 probs didn’t make sense.. but yeah love you guys!!
I remember when my dad showed me his music from the 80s in germany and I showed him back the music I was into at that time.
I get the Adele reference because she has a lot of Jazz and blues like Amy Winehouse, but Lana is different she does 50s and is inspired by Nina Simone, Billie Holidays. She also does a lot of Marilyn baby voice of the women in the 50s who her character is mostly influenced by.
i will never forget being an 11 year old girl in 2014 and discovering lana. you truly just had to be there.
This was such a respectful, loving discussion dedicated to one of the best modern musicians 💛 this is the attention she deserves!
Since you mentioned LDR referring to herself as a "gangster Nancy Sinatra", you should listen to her cover of Summer Wine! She sang the duet with Barrie-James, her ex
oh finally you guys need to do more of her!!
Petition for a full Born To Die album reaction!!! Such a perfectly done album and I really think he would enjoy.
this was so nice to watch. Now you have to do a deep dive into her music. something tells me ur dads gonna get hooked a lot like we all did with Lana
I'm a die-hard hip-hop head, but Lana is my favorite artist of all time. If you get the chance, you gotta show your dad the title track off her third album Honeymoon. Her harmonizing and vocal control on that track is absolutely jaw-dropping.
the Dad wouldn't handle Young and Beautiful, Say Yes to Heaven, Love and every LDR songs. Not mentioning the unreleased
your dad looks so kind 🥰 thanks for your reaction, it was her first song I've heard and I was really shocked
There is no other song such as this one. It is simple and beautiful. From the tempo to the instruments. And then she begins to sing. Paradise.
Oh yeah, i been waiting for this! Considering your dad comentary about chronologic order, i think the next one HAS to be BORN TO DIE! Kisses from Brazil 🇧🇷
Thank you for reacting to Lana Del Rey. Some more of her songs, please.
Y’all’s background d and holiday decor looks so hygge, I love it!
Thanks, and Happy Holidays! - Kai’s dad
2011 I was a sophomore in HS… Absolutely blew me and my friends minds away. Still a Lana Stan still this day. Seeing her for the second time at Coachella this year 😭🩷🩷🩷
Forget the video, this is a healthy relationship. I envy it to a degree
If you were willing, would be nice to see a full album reaction. You could start with born to die and follow her discography ❤️
Dad will cry if he listens to her New album
Bro is such a respectful son
My day started unusually bad, but seeing this got me super hyped lmaoo
Nice!
@@frontroom it was a dope reaction as usual, and I think he'll really end up loving her albums should you choose to do them
This Dad-Son Relationship gives me Call My By Your Name in the best way

btw I just love how you smile while talking about Lana. You are a real fan! I love it!
Oh boy I hope you show your dad MORE!!! Especially songs like “Shades Of Cool” or “Thunder”… or “Norman F Rockwell!” OR “LET THE LIGHT IN”!!!
Yes yes yes all of this lol
This is amazing! And I love how you gave your father a rundown of her as a human/ artist : )
Lana Del Rey is so good. This was a great choice, love this song so much! ❤ Dad is being introduced to so much because of the channel & thats so cool but also Kai is too with Dads prog rock from his youth which is awesome 😎❤

As we did when we first saw/heard this
everytime i hear this song its like hearing it again for the first time, thank you guys for listening to lana !!!
Please do more Lana. I’d love to see a deep dive. I’ll be here
Such a good choice to share. I hope you also share the song and video for "National Anthem"...her poem/monologue at the end about Jackie O. gives me shivers every time.
I love Lana del Rey she's awesome! I listen to her music every day.
More Lana!!
Your dads insight is so great! Please do more LDR ❤
Her first albums are my favorites ❤️
Please do a chronological LDR series! I'd love to hear you twos opinions on my favorite artist ever =)
is so cute that he was excited about it and wanted to know the artist that you used to mention a lot.
Always a great choice to check out her albums, even though it's a long journey
Diet Mountain Dew and Off to the Races are good ones to check around this phase in Lana's music.
yesss we need more Lana

A good followup might be the french montana song which samples video games in the chorus "all for you"?
one of the best reactions I ever seen, please bring more lana
Please do “Brooklyn baby” I think he would love it. Something about that one that just hits different
Thanks for putting words on music i love! Video Games is still her best song.
Just love hearing you explain Lanas lore to your pa! It’s really cute
I really liked your reaction and I have only one request: Please, please, continue reacting Lanas songs. This really was enjoyable to watch.
beautiful insight as always - cruel world, shades of cool & west coast from ultraviolence are my favourites once you get there! ☆
Lana would work in any era for any generation. Unrivaled
would be nice to react now to "Did you know there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd" to see a 2023 Lana writing and voice - compared to her debut with video games
This is so interesting. I’ve never been around or seen a father son relationship like this
She commands your attention. How true! Loved this. Hope you do more reactions.
8:55 Dad is concerned about Lana’s taste in men, Ride has entered the chat
One of a kind voice and artist!
If your dad wants chronologically then Born to Die is where to start! 💖
why have you not be showing on my algorithm. love u guys
Merry Christmas
