You seem underwhelmed. Totally legit but care to elaborate on what went on ik your heads? Indeed she's a poet and a storyteller. Truth gets sacrificed for good storytelling. Some people went too far and thought she was advocating doing coke and whoring yourself out. Like, read a fairytale sometime shiiit.

Don't mean you!! I love your honest reaction! I meant the sum of all the backlash Lana received over the past years from critics and fans.

@@GreetingsFromBlackwoodFarm i dont think we were underwhelmed, its a great song and story with a great video to go along with it. there are a lot of ways to interpret the song/video and i think they could and more than likely would be different if not viewed together the main take away i think both of us got from ride is a sense of being fortunate with our lives and life choices and balance of party survival and adventure. plus its not always a cut and dry choice that gets you to your point in life, things spiral fast. i also think if any artist is going to get backlash from fans or critics, they arent fans and fuck critics. you have to accept them as the ppl they are flaws and all. just like you enjoy their art and glad they explore, even if that means not every song is for you

I think she carries the essence of Taoism in this project, it’s her most misunderstood project to date in my opinion. The freedom she speaks of is one that challenges you to think outside of your perspective & any that you’d ever entertain without making sure the life/view of life you currently have is always in reach and you can retreat back to because it’s soo taboo especially in our modern society. She invites you to fully immerse into and feel your true nature, the multitudes of your self, stepping out of your comfort zone and just being and living, learning, loving, losing with an immense grasp of what having hope really means. She captures where she loses a lot of people in the line “ When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing how I had been living, they asked me why, but there’s no use talking to people who have a home..”, you could never teach that feeling /fully grasp that concept of lose/freedom only understand through particular life experiences. Also you could say her perspective of freedom challenges yours, of working until you achieve enough money and can do whatever you want but how many of us work until we die and never get to that point you know, you become a slave in pursuit of capitalism, when you live like this and believe in the kindness of strangers you don’t think “ where am I gonna eat next ..” in the way someone in society caught up in the rat race would, it’s a whole different perspective of life that can really be hard to understand by many in our society which is why I applaud her work because she doesn’t care how unusual she is/lives it’s all about a “fire for every experience” and knowing that there is more in reading in between the lines than you could ever fathom. This life she’s portraying in this era is just like you said the steps you have to take to achieve your peace she knew what she was doing “ And if I said I didn’t plan for it to turn out this way I’d be lying” it’s a untethered feeling from control but you’re in control always it’s weird to explain in text, she’s very young here all these experiences were collected from her life at 27 and younger, her growth from this era to her current state in Chemtrails is magnificent, and is soaked from wisdoms learned from the life experiences and perspectives she’s entertained on her journey. I enjoyed the reaction from you guys, as always! 👏🏾👏🏾🤙🏾

@@BestFriendsReact You set the bar to high with reaction to Summer time sadness 😁

@Emi Lady The girl they picked for Priscilla is pretty mediocre herself. How unfortunate.

she made a movie, called "Tropico"

You are soo right!

Bond girl.

I like it

I still find it thoroughly fascinating that a song can take you back to such a specific time and place

THIS!!!

i dont think she was homeless but she did like go out a lot and met people and drove around

her mind

there were sooooo many requests for this one, its obviously a favorite for a lot of people.... for good reason

Sean and Chris were definitely joking when they said nobody cares, because everyone has been requesting relentlessly (myself included lol) for them to react to Ride since their first Lana reaction video! It truly is one of her masterpieces for sure ☺️

It was sarcasm.

@@BestFriendsReact me not realising... oops

All good!

im excited to hear it!

that would be the optimistic outlook, i like that her songs make different ppl think differently about the same topic

@@BestFriendsReact Can I ask you an honest question. If it were a guy playing Lana's part in the video, would you be as concerned for him?

I would be less concerned with safety but just as concerned about choices and rationalizations

@@BestFriendsReact Well, Lana likes to exaggerate a bit, she'll be fine ;)

I would love to see her live, i bet she is amazing! And I miss concerts sooooo much lol... We did check out born to die! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eauIbJqCtN7DiHk.html

@@BestFriendsReact omg I knowww I miss them too!!! Thank you, I’ll check it out! Another favorite from her BTD album is “Radio” - no music video for it but that song is a dream and deserved to be a single. Totally recommend that one

she is very captivating

debating on doing it next or staying in order like we have been

It takes me a couple of secs to get back in the rhythm and make sure I don't miss anything

Fuuuck yes, my absolute favorite cover she’s ever done

Thank you!

i think we are going to stick to songs with a video element to it for the channel, but we both sincerely enjoy her and will listen to it all over time... thank you for the suggestion!

Thank you!

Thank you!

i can read it perfect! thank you!

we wont!

thats both awesome and awful, thank you for the link

i know a couple of x-japan songs including Endless Rain, because i really like band-maid and Saiki did a version of that song with Yoshiki... Great suggestion, thank you!

@@BestFriendsReact Thankyou!!😊

you are!

thanks, appreciate the criticism!

thats a great suggestion, thank you!

I appreciate the criticism. We don't purposely pause, we just do when something comes to mind. We have had comments saying too many pauses, too few of pauses, we talk to much or we don't talk enough lol... Can't win sometimes

I like how you say no offense but yet still try to talk shit before your point... I hope you have a happy life lmao
