Lana Del Rey: Summertime Sadness (2012 Music Video) User Reviews

Epic

[APWhite9 · 10 April 2015]

I'll get this part out of the way first... This song and video has already established itself as a legendary work of art. Summertime Sadness is a historic song. I remember it playing on the radio every single day and night multiple times for a long time. This song owned the summer of 2012 music. Teens and young adults of this time will never forget the song. Del Rey really blew up in popularity with this song and it made her a super star. Currently, I am anticipating her next album and think it will be better. She still sounds very young on Shade of Cool, although matured a little; she's still growing. I hope Del Rey sticks around for at least a couple more decades because I think her best is yet to come.

Its Lana so you already know that the video is gonna be old school classic. It kind of makes me want to dress up as Priscilla Presley and take polaroid pictures.

Lana Del Rey is sad in summer

"Summertime Sadness" is a short film (or I should say music video) from almost five years ago. The artist here is Lana Del Rey. I personally did not enjoy the watch this time. The filmmaker was clearly ambitious here, but the outcome shows how he is pretty limited. This is certainly a case of style over substance as the lack of action is not compensated through an artistic achievement by any means. Apart from that, I did not like Del Rey's voice either and I felt nothing listening to her allegedly sad feelings. Is there anything positive here really? I don't think so, maybe only that it was over fairly quickly and that it's almost impossible to get worse. I highly recommend not the watch. The lyrics were also very uninspired.
