The video is pretty and the concept is cool but the way it was executed is far too chaotic and all-over-the-place 

Yeah the problem isn't the lenght but the way it's edited with all those instrumetal interludes. It's beautiful but annoying at the same time

i thought it was a director's cut without the dialogue in between sessions like girl what do you expect for a 10 minutes loop of candy necklaces the base want Let the Light In, Peppers, A&W, Paris Texas, etc

Does the views number get higher if you press play again? I think K-pop stans (and they usually know how everything works to a microscopic level) used to say (still say?) that you need to refresh the page, keep the volume up/not muted and clear your cookies for a view to be counted. there’s so much work behind it, I don’t know where they get the energy from, it’s worse than when I was a fan in like 2011 lol

 

No idea. At least I supposed so - but also if it works as you described, people might do this more likely with a short track than a long mv. 

 

I guess on Spotify etc loops contribute? As I read about how songs became shorter because of this. I just supposed that's how it works on YouTube, too.

maybe this full mv in movie quality is just too good for youtube. she should have offered it on dvd or via paid streams and maybe only a cut version on youtube.

I like the song. But it was her most bizarre choice of song to get the MV treatment since... she started her career 😂  In a way, she's lucky it didn't accumulate 7 views with how depressing the song is

 

AW

OB

And

Let the light in shoulda got MVs. Although I would have trimmed AW down to 4 minutes to guarantee success.

AW could have been a hot cinematic video with her vaping and sleeping with all these different men in hotels and then murdering them, tongue n cheek. Woulda made such a powerful statement after all her masochistic content

 

OB coulda been a simple Burning Desire video with her singing in a lounge bar, intercut with clips of the ocean and Ocean Boulevard.

 

And Let the Light in could have been a cinematic love story with her and FJM.

 

We coulda got so much content

Are y'all actually upset about some random accounts rude comment or just using the occasion to distinguish yourself as the real fans

Actually, I don't think she did it primarily to have  "success" or to push the album, but more to show us her visions (also because the song seems to mean a lot to her) and to give something special to her fans.

[SoftwareUpgrade 19,349]

Okay, just watched it WHILE paying attention, loved it

 

.....candy necklaces.....

 

I LOVED seeing the bts shots, the black and white was lovely. It takes a village to make a video! The part where one man was simulating the car shaking, and another was moving a detached windshield whiper was cool to see. I wish she could've had a theater premier for it

We're just angry that there are people who actually have time to write such mean selfish shit. Some people like that guy who commented forget that she's actually a fucking human with fucking feelings.

I'm replying to your comment to distinguish myself as a real fan 

Now I can sleep soundly instead of waking up in the middle of the night, worried that I have not distinguished myself as a real fan to user Thunder Revenant

I agree with you. But then why would she make you pay for an alternative version of the video?

umm okay...  I merely don't want her to see stupid mean shit in her comment section. Apart from it being awful for her to read, I also don't want anything to potentially make her deactivate again. 

[WhiteHot4ever 636]

The video is amazing, the song is just a expensive wine we don’t care about views we want that Lana tbh

We're about to have a plague of homemade music videos by Chuck

I mean yeah it's rude and unnecessary, but its just one random post in an instagram feed with 16 comments. There are always haters and I do not think Lana really cares. Especially not for comments like that particular one

She could at least have made a footage of her while doing the interview photo shoot to make a music video for A&W out of it. Would have loved this so much.

it wasn't just one.. there were quite a few comments very similar to the one posted here.
Also we've seen time and time again that she unfortunately tends to noticed the one negative comment in a plethora of positive ones. She clearly cares.
