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.

@wtfcanifindanamejeez 5 ай бұрын

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.

@hannahjean4301 5 ай бұрын

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 😇

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.

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!!

A whole essay could be written about the photos and time periods chosen and their placement within the video. Just fascinating!!

And maybe even react to the latest live from my very first ever concert experience when i traveled with my best friend October 3rd to her show out past Pittsburgh PA "pretty when you cry" still can't believe after all these years of healing through her artistry and work, i finally actually was able to experience her in person !!!
