i'm living for this fiesty, angry side of you!  
 
edit: now it's even better  

Just saw the video.  How I love Lana's voice. Seeing her relaxed and smiling warms my heart.  And the dog! Should've got more screen time. 

I am a fan of the way it's filmed. This one and the second Arcadia video are finally something that is homemade but not just random clips. I like the style and it's really getting me into the vibe of how she wants this album to feel. 
 
That look that she gives at the end of the video is the best part and definitely speaks of broken promises. 

It looks like she has found peace with herself. That is very good!

I knew you were the one to ask!! Thank you queen 
 
I love how she planned all this out so perfectly! The video, while simple, is so absolutely gorgeous 

I'm crying. Real crying. This is so good, and fits the song so perfectly. I normally hate literal music clips, but this mixes it up enough to keep it interesting, and the way it's once again completely focused on women hanging out together and supporting each other is great.

This is probably one of my favorite MV's she has ever made. The cinematic yet simplicity of it all makes this one really special. She looks so happy and fulfilled throughout the entire MV, until the end when she looks back with sadness in her eyes when she's reminded of him once again. I'M CRYING 
 

That the entire album is a concept based upon a memory, text book is the most recent song that correlates to her life in terms of lyrics. Blue banisters is set in the present until jenny asks her how the hell she got on a john deere, when she starts reminiscing on her past and the rest of the lyrics in blue banisters are just a memory. Then the album goes on and it’s all set in the past and she’s reliving every song as it goes on. Then, by the time we get to Cherry Blossom, we’re back up to the present. And while she was reminiscing the whole time, time passed and now Sweet Carolina is the present. 
 
This theory makes sense to me considering she said this album is what happened, why it happened, and how it is now….. it just took some piecing together 

crying  she's so cute! i love that she shared these thoughts with us

Wow I really needed to hear this extremely beautiful message

She posted a clip of the new video on Honeymoon with the caption: 
“Shining alone👌🌟
I’ve always loved a video with no real story line. The things that people do naturally without even thinking about it have always been the most interesting moments to capture.
I loved shooting Arcadia and blue Banisters without having a concept and just having my brother and Chris filming me dancing chilling, drinking coffee being stupid, having fun. It’s the little things.
 I always say I do the least promotion of anyone I know but the most work in my backyard. When your inner world flourishes- at some point the outer world will always reflect that back to you what’s really in your heart. Do what you love, 
I think some of the wisest people have taught me that sometimes doing nothing and just listening to your inner voice which at it’s clearest is as near to what God’s voice would advise is the best thing to do. 
Dreaming, staying peaceful, being a good friend, a good mother to animals and friends, making big changes, taking risks that no one else understands, all of this has helped me to continue to follow my true life’s dharma. It can be a winding and lonely road at times- full of adversity- but it’s so worth it. 
All my Love

The video fits the story well. It's like a faded memory of beautiful days with her sisters ...  I like the beginning best, when the camera zooms into the picture on the table and it comes to life.

Her singing on the tractor gave me Lizzy vibes. I like when she includes things like that in her videos, it's just so... her. Idk how to describe it. But it's such a pretty video, very intimate. The scene with the three of them looking off into the distance against the wind was very cinematic. So far this and the alternate Arcadia video have been my fav videos from her in a long time. 

I love how long her hair is. The shots of it flowing in the wind were so pretty 

to be fair, the video was "directed by nobody" lol
there's no director there to help her out like in her early music videos
