context for cola: the man Lana was dating at the time was Scottish and he told Lana “You American girls walk around as if your pussy tasted like Coca-Cola, as if you’d wrap yourself into American flags to sleep.” So, I think this song is a very satirical response to that, and mostly just her having fun with stereotypes that were placed on her
The song Cola is a satirical song about the American dream, consumerism, and the pursuit of stardom. It’s about the things a young woman might have to do if she wants a career in Hollywood, and how that might change a person. How you will always know you traded on your youth/beauty/soul in order to “make it”.
I think Cola is one of Lana's few songs that are almost "full-on" satire, really supposed to be camp, sound fun, and that's basically it. It's not super deep and personal, and she doesn't relate too much because it's more like an extreme caricature. I'm really enjoying your reactions, Felisha. I like how you try to get her and even when she's being rather... peculiar, you don't really judge her too much - maybe because you know she's grown, and that there's different people with different tastes, going through different phases and different experiences in the world. You might say "well, not sure about that" and things like that but I think most people giving these albums a first listen these days tend to be harsher and that takes away the fun entirely (from listening to the album and from watching a reaction to it).
Great reaction! You’re so intuitive with Lana’s music, and I appreciate how closely you look at the lyrics. Most people need a few listens to come to a satisfactory analysis, but you’re picking up the themes so quickly! I think you’re really going to enjoy Ultraviolence. It’s a bit more rock-based, and it’s a huge step for Lana in terms of experimenting with different sonic landscapes.
i love how you analyse the songs! ❤ i also find it interesting how her singing style has changed over the years, in a few interviews shes said that in her early career she often got told that to differentiate herself from other pop singers she should sing in her lower range as its more unique. I love her music now and then but her deeper voice is so nostalgic
she changed Harvey to “oh, hes in the sky” and she eventually said because of what came out she didn’t want to preform it live anymore. which i understand but the high note is so iconic, it will be missed ❤️
My thoughts on Body Electric: I think you’re absolutely right about the pain she still carries over the boyfriend she lost, but I believe it’s only a component. It’s also about her pain and fears in general, and her coping mechanisms being her influences/dancing to distract or self-soothe. There are also allusions to Lana seeing a pattern laid out: you’re young, beautiful, famous; fame changes you, you become something you hate; taking your life because you can’t deal. Marilyn Monroe and Elvis died young. Heaven is her baby(desired destination), suicide is her father(the way you get there), opulence is the end(once you have everything, there’s nothing more to live for, especially if fame turns you into a damaged person). Lana was writing a lot about her new-found fame, and her fears surrounding who she could become. She saw herself becoming jaded, damaged by Hollywood, and she was confronting this possibility in the music.
lanas father is actually coming out with an album! He called himself the first nepo dad lmao. It seems like from the snippets we've seen his heavily mirrors Lana's album nfr
Really loving the in-depth reactions you give! If you decide to dive into her music videos at any point, I highly recommend doing the Ride music video as well as her short film Tropico. Tropico includes 3 songs: body electric, gods and monsters, & bel air and it is SO cinematic. Ride includes some poetry from her as well that really adds to the meaning of the song.
yayo is actually a song from her aka Lizzy Grant album (2008/10) with different vocals and production, both versions are great but i think i prefer the aka version .. i’ve always wondered why she chose this song specifically to redo, it’s the only one to have this treatment pre-LDR
Es increíble el esfuerzo que tu pones para darle significado a las letras. Es asombroso, ver a alguien reaccionar, no solo al sonido o la melodía, sino, a lo que el artista quiso decir, o expresar. Gracias por esto ❤ Saludos desde Nicaragua 🇳🇮
I am just so excited for you to go through her discography! It's so fun to listen to your analyses and interpretations - you're really smart! Every album is so different and beautiful in its own way and I can't wait to see which one ends up being your favorite ♥
Oh please, don't compare those songs. Gods & Monsters is miles, MILES away. It is some of her best lyrics ever and has an incredible hedonistic and self-destructive sound to it. A&W is nowhere near.
The way I interpret “if I get a little prettier can I be your baby, you tell me life isn’t that hard” It’s a very pongient statement, if you step back.. because we usually can’t just get prettier but that’s the only thing that will make her good enough to be his, it just gives defeatist vibes, hopelessness vibes… the sadness of reality. And then when he notices that’s how she feels he says “life isn’t that hard” telling her to cheer up… he just doesn’t see it the way she does
I'm always down for a Lana reaction, great job! Also, I like to see the song Bel Air as if she is making amends with God and finding redemption, not like she's speaking to some person in particular.
You definitely have to do the video to ride it’s like a movie and takes the song to a whole new level with added poetic monologues into her personal life
the way we all used to think that she has the biggest daddy issues until 2021 when we discovered that the real enemy are her mommy isuess
For reassl, she trick us for a long time
I think she really has daddy issues because I think Rob was very absent when she was very young
@@Ivan-hc4kkyeah but now she have mommy issues
Thisssss
Every reaction to Cola sends me to an orbit 😭

Also a love song for harvey weinstein. Just a note :)
Elizabeth Grant has mumma issues not Daddy issues;-)
Bel Air is sooo underrated. Probably in her top 10 most cinematic songs

Yeah! I mean, she is singing about L.A and Harvey was kinda god by that time.
Also wasn't he weird to her *TOO* ?
@@nectaroftheswansobviously not if she wrote a love song for him

With all that rock albums in the backround i feel like you will love the next record, Ultraviolence.
I really love your Lana Del Rey reactions. Keep going! You'll LOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEEE her next-next-next album ♥ !!
oooo can't wait for Ultraviolence! you will definitely ascend and be shocked at the same time 😅

PLEASE REACT TO RIDE MUSIC VIDEO. 😭 IT HAS A MONOLOGUE AS INTRO AND OUTRO. ❤ JUST AMAZING 🥺
GREAT reaction! Cant wait to ultraviolence!!! Is a masterpiece and a side of her that you dont know yet.
I am just so excited for you to go through her discography! It's so fun to listen to your analyses and interpretations - you're really smart! Every album is so different and beautiful in its own way and I can't wait to see which one ends up being your favorite ♥
This EP is Americana at her best. Gods and Monsters is her precursor song of A&W. Most songs on this album are great.
Oh please, don't compare those songs. Gods & Monsters is miles, MILES away. It is some of her best lyrics ever and has an incredible hedonistic and self-destructive sound to it. A&W is nowhere near.
@@adriensk7702says you
@@adriensk7702 sorry that you don't get A&W I guess
YESSSS I love your reactions to Lana's music :D
"jesus is my bestest friend" that's a choice
Yayo is a full on metaphor for cocaine, she's personalizing it. 😂
Crystal Method is an American electronic duo, but I can see where you thought of the drug🤭
The way I interpret “if I get a little prettier can I be your baby, you tell me life isn’t that hard”
It’s a very pongient statement, if you step back.. because we usually can’t just get prettier but that’s the only thing that will make her good enough to be his, it just gives defeatist vibes, hopelessness vibes… the sadness of reality. And then when he notices that’s how she feels he says “life isn’t that hard” telling her to cheer up… he just doesn’t see it the way she does
Excited for nfr reaction
The diamonds on skid row was just a reference to being fearless lol
Yeah, Americanism is def a Lana theme in all albums
Whitman and Nabakov are her favourite writers and she has a tattoo of their names.
“I sing the body electric” is a poem by Walt Whitman
the music video has a really good intro/outro with added poetry relating to the song that i think you’d enjoy!! ❤️
Can’t wait for ultraviolence !!
Pls react to Ultraviolence is a different vibe
I'm always down for a Lana reaction, great job! Also, I like to see the song Bel Air as if she is making amends with God and finding redemption, not like she's speaking to some person in particular.
Next album ultraviolence 🙏🙏
You definitely have to do the video to ride it’s like a movie and takes the song to a whole new level with added poetic monologues into her personal life
