Music Video Premiere: "Love"

[Masochism 15,401]

just wow, i can't believe how good this vide is. i was so used to random lq music videos that this one was a revelation. it's simply iconic, she looks amazing and all the young vintage kids are adorable. and i love the special effects. QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNN

[FredRed 4,857]

I LOVE seeing her smile. Some people have a natural radiant smile and Lana is one of them.

The more I listen to the song, and now with the video, the more I think this is one of her finest achievements since Ride. Also her most 'likeable' (to the general public) and may well 're-brand' the old image many people have of her.

There's a lightness and airiness and joy about this era already that is like an antidote to the ugliness of 2016 and the feelings of unease and disgust that the rise of Trump and the alt-right have stirred up.

 

Also, listening to the song while high is like a religious experience

How could she have just had an interview and no one said anything tf

[Venice Jesus Whore 4,471]

I really love the space and desert aesthetic. Seriously beautiful. Video was gorgeous. Kinda wish she was in it more and more of the main focus, but I understand why she's not. Also, does anyone think it seems overly happy? It's so weird to see her smile so much and be so upbeat and hopeful. What if this is representing her being overly hopeful and naive, and then it all comes crashing down and the rest of the album is super dark?

I just wish the video had some lgbt couples

Actually I'd like that... (But I doubt it will happen)

[Summersault 824]

To be honest the song still hasn't grown on me too much. I like it but it's not blowing my mind. 

 

But the video: WOW. It's so beautiful, especially the space scenarios. 

During the first minute or so I thought it erred on the side of unintentional self-parody because the whole "young people seen through a vintage/nostalgia/super 8-aesthethic" has become somewhat trite, but then she threw me for a space loop and made everything interesting again.

 

Queen of innovation and keeping her aesthethic fresh. This is why Instagram hipsters all over the world copy: She's always a step ahead 

[Ultraviolencexo 570]

I've only just been able to watch the video and I love it! She looks so happy and beautiful, I'm so excited for what's next

This is what I said about it on Facebook:

 

This music video is so good! I might even say it's perfect. One thing I love about Lana Del Rey is that she can make it sound like she's singing right into your ear. In terms of the "amount" of character her voice has, I would put her in the same category as, say, Leonard Cohen or Stevie Nicks, so I love that her voice is so less processed in this song than in many of her other recent tracks. I love the idea that music and/or being In Love can metaphorically transport you to outer space. In general, I love her over-the-top earnestness and her iconic imagery. There's a reason her fans (me included) call her "Queen."

[MinigunsNRoses 17]

Yeah. I agree with a lot of what you said here, but I felt like listening to it sober was a religious experience ;D

 

Yeah, I talked about the space imagery. That's definitely how it felt to see her live. <3___<3

Totally agree. I was thinking this morning (listening for the umpteenth time) that what sets her apart from her assumed 'contemporaries' (Taylor, Katy, Gaga etc) is the masterful way she uses her voice - she's not scared of restraint, at a time when so many female pop voices are really forceful and aggressive, like they're straining for you to pay attention. Lana has this incredible control and flexibility in her voice that creates the story in between the lyrics.

I dunno if that makes sense, but I'm just so happy with 'Love' 

[californianfreak 3,484]

Every time I see her smile in the MV my heart just melts 

 

HAPPY LANA = THE BEST LANA

 

     

[BlueJeans 2,608]

Is the girl with curly hair the same from the Freak MV ?

[renaissance 8,330]

SHE'S SO HAPPY IT'S SO CUTE

[Ultraviolencexo 570]

Tbh when I first heard the video had space theme I was so worried I thought it was going to be terrible. I thought we was going to get a really tacky looking video with awful CGI, but I'm so suprised at how beautiful it all looked. The colours and the vintage feel was so pretty! I feel like the visuals are so aesthetically pleasing!

[bounce 1,420]

sad that there were no lgbt couples as i'm sure we make up 80% of her fanbase

The CGI didn't look extremely fake right, I think the vid was very high budget

Most of her fanbase ar straight females tho, at least judging from the demographics of the shows I've been to

And it would've made conservatives angry
