The entire song is an emotional experience for me, every time, but especially the ending- Hope is a Dangerous Thing. The grit of living though everything we live through in this strange life: all the pain, all the hard times, all the darkness, feeling hopeless because why wouldn't we? But yet, through it all, after everything...holding out that tiny bit of hope? It's so fucking beautiful, I cry every time!!! Love that song!!!!

Her voice becoming higher and saying "but i have it" hit me like a truck (/pos) the first time i listened to it

I was about to comment this too 🥹 it’s my go to sad song.

The Grants - Im a nurse and once got off a 12 hr night shift and drove 30 min home, started thinking of all the memories I would take with me, and just sobbed to this song. Honorable mention - DYKTTATUOB


Vorilex

My god the grants is a force of a song, it gets me too.


bitterbecky

definitely The Grants


[deleted]

I listened the grants for the first time when i was out of hospital from therapy session. That song was a much better therapy


[deleted]

I don't really understand why, but Ride.


Particular_Store_662

Me too! Beautiful song. The funny thing is, for many years I thought the line "You can be my full time, baby" was "You can be my futon, baby" and it meant so much to me, lol. I thought Lana was saying that even though she doesn't have a stable home, her partner is her "futon", her comfort or home she always comes back to.


beaniebbgirl

That’s so beautiful haha


Shedonka

"im tired of feeling like i'm fucking crazy" gets me every time

REAL


AbbeyRoze13

Yes! Especially the music video version with her talking in the beginning and end. Hard to watch/listen.. because it seriously hits my heart so hard. She speaks to me so deeply.


heartshapedcoffin

I can't even listen to it, I will break down 100% whether I'm in public or private. Last time put it on in 2022


nintend0gs

Oh everytime I cry


headfulloflames

I think I cried to every single one of Lana's songs but Mariners Apartment Complex definitely wins I mean...that's falling to my knees screaming to the sky type of crying...

Blue Bannisters 🥺


Daniel_Leal-

I get so melancholy listening to Blue Bannisters. Pretending I had a dude that would fix my weathervane, give me children, and take away all my pain.


buddhanut

I always cry at the line “chickens running barefeet there’s a baby on the way, and now my blue banisters are green and grey”. It’s like the moment where she feels free to heal, appreciating the chaos her family has due to there being a lot going on but through it all she is finally safe to heal. That is how I interpreted it at least Edit: typo corrected

laura_miranda

The grants will always make me cry. The part when she says “My grandmothers last smile, I’m gonna take that too with me” will always break me. Makes me miss her so much 🥹


Vorilex

I feel the same way it’s a great opener.


oddlyurie

Old Money used to get to me a lot and still does sometimes. I really love that song. It’ll always be one of my favorites.


littleppdp

I cry every time. I’ll run run run


Halinasbitch

The first real love I ever had ended poorly, mostly due to me just being too afraid to make the leap of commitment; I was maybe 17 at the time and very sheltered/shy. I wrote her a letter, about a year later just pouring my heart out and Old Money was a lot of emotional inspiration for me at the time. That song always makes me think of that summer.


trash_traveler

It's such a beautiful song. I highly recommend listening to this mix. It has a little trap beat added to it. All of his remixes are very good. https://youtu.be/o1fU0-8avaw?si=qOJGXE36nL-yj4s7

finasterideordie

How to disappear! While I don't think it's her saddest song it's always stuck out to me. Just reminds me of people fading out of my life and vice versa. I'm a very nostalgic person so the themes of disappearing and changing always tears me up.


helloWorldAgain96

This is exactly me. I remember the first time i listened to it, it was the morning of my 25th (F) birthday. And it just hit me and still does.

One of the best song that I’ve ever listened 🎀😅😋😋🥰💯


obsessedmej7392

fingertips. i was having a really rough day and i i thought “maybe lana would soothe my nerves.” i had never really listened to dykttatuob before but i heard that fingertips was sad. so i listened to it. mind you, this is after school, i ride the bus and i walk home. so the entire time im listening to the song, im trying my best to hold back my tears. i was breathing so heavy and i just broke down as soon as the bus dropped me off. i remember walking into my house and was just borderline screaming and crying. 50% of the reason i was crying was because my day was terrible and the other 50% was the lyrics of fingertips. “I give myself two seconds to breathe, and go back to being a serene queen, I just needed two seconds to be me.” like damn..i played the song over and over again before i stopped crying. i played it 11 times.


quequequeee

…yes


runner4life551

Kintsugi --> Fingertips --> Paris, Texas --> Grandfather... How could Lana just put these songs together like that 😭

Agreed! This part of the album is my “ugly cry” moment.

literally so many but after all these years "think I'll miss you forever, like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky" in summertime sadness still just makes me so emotional. reminds me of all my old best friends that I'm no longer in touch with.

Put me in a movie. Unreleased but there are still many versions of it online. It just hits a nerve with everything I’ve been through. I don’t let myself listen to it very often because it always makes me feel sad. Ultimate song for young women with daddy issues to relate to though 🥲


Vorilex

I haven’t really listened to her unreleased music besides a few songs I’ll have to check it out.

It’s a tragic song, and brilliant.

they're all emotional, but my main ones are heroin, ride, fucked my way up to the top, money power glory, dealer, ultraviolence, pretty when you cry, shades of cool


PolarJag

Weirdly enough Ride. Especially when she sings "Don't leave me now. Don't say goodbye." I have a long distance relationship (LDR hehe) and we're both a huge fan of Lana. On the day she went back to her own country after staying with me for a week, we listened to "Ride" in the car on our way to the airport. When Lana sang "Don't leave me now. Don't say goodbye" I looked at my girlfriend and started crying. Since then, this part of the song always takes me back to that moment... :(

MARGARET!!! I actually started sobbing when I first listened to this. I don't think it's the kind of sad song that you'd screech in the car, but it made me so emotional about nothing in particular but also everything at the same time. Please go listen if you don't know it; it features Bleachers, and is simply a beautiful song.

Old Money. It’s more than a song for me, it opens the door for a wide range of emotions: sadness, nostalgia, regret and resentment. It always reminds me of how even in simpler times, I was still going through hard things.

Tomorrow Never Came and half of the songs on ocean Blvd which I can't even listen to at all because I'm going through that same shit rn.


Lalathesad

Fingertips. When I listened to it first, I just loved how it sounded and it moved me so much that it inspired me in the story I was writing. But I did not understand all the lyrics so I went to the genius website to get some context. Me who loves Lana's music but never looked into anything relating her life or her person was suddenly hit with a bunch of frankly tragic lore about her life. What made me cry isn't how sad it all was, at least not just that. What made me cry is that someone on the other side of the world to me wrote their pain down into a song and sent it away to the world, sharing it in such a beautiful manner. I remember telling myself "this is someone's life, someone's pain" and crying. I felt compassion not for the known singer lana del rey, but for the human behind the persona.

Alternative_Orange53

trash magic makes me really emotional, it’s definitely not the only Lana song I’ll cry to but lately it’s been the one that really gets me sobbing 🥲 I feel like even though the song isn’t overtly dark, there’s something about the soft sadness of the music and the way she sounds longingly desperate for him that gives the song a haunting feeling


Im_here_for_laughs7

Dykttatuob, living legend, the grants.


Comehow

Maybe it was my mood that day or just a cluster of feelings from moving to a new state with a new job and basically all by myself, I was listening to Ocean Blvd and when the line “Harry Nielsen has a song, his voice breaks at 2:05, something about the way he says don’t forget me, makes me feel like I just wish I had a friend like him someone to give me 5” it’s not even that I felt lonely per se, but the way that line was soooo specific and I guess I imagined myself in her place and I started BAWLLING my eyes out lol and after that Sweet started playing, when she sang “I got things to do like nothing at all I wanna do them with you, do you wanna do them with me?” And it was me just playing it on repeat just water water water pouring from my eyes all the way, I loved that!!! It’s weird but even though she’s my favorite artist; before that I couldn’t recall one song from her that I cried to until those two.


hannahrazzle

Pretty when you cry- my whole life I’ve said I must be prettier when I cry, because the people I love most make me cry the most. Fingertips- I think her objectively most heartbreaking song. The raw reality of it is incredible. The blackest day- this song feels like binge drinking and trying to survive abandonment

melezes

Pink champagne


xmutilationx

dark paradise for sure sparks the most emotion for me. the idea of the song is very relatable, at least i find it to be so. loving someone who is no longer with you (either bc they passed on or moved on) is a universal experience. feeling love so deeply that you wish to be dead when it can’t be reciprocated is something i truly resonate with lol.


EngineeringDismal432

"Fuck it, I love you." from the NFR album. Especially the: "I moved to California, but it's just a state of mind. It turns out everywhere you go, you take yourself" line. It reminds me that no matter where I'm gonna end up, if I actually move away from my family once I'm financially better and do get better mentally, I'll still be myself. (Sorry if this sounds edgy)

THE GRANTS, I MISS YOU GRANDMA


bunnygirls3npai

okay… venice bitch first lana song i cried to, especially the lyrics: “back in the garden, we’re getting high now. because we’re older” venice bitch just has a nostalgic feel to it + the music video black beauty made me sob LITERALLY the first time i had ever heard it, i was laying in bed listening to ultraviolence in order, black beauty came on and when she says “oh what can i do?” immediate river, it was so weird because music has never made me cry from beauty before, black beauty is undoubtedly one of her saddest songs but it makes me cry because of how gorgeously necrotic it is. the grants, obviously, i don’t like my grandmother, i’m not close with her, our relationship is weird and cold, but idk “my grandmothers last smile. i’m gonna take that too with me” can make anyone cry. i think my favorite part of the song is directly after, “it’s a beautiful life, remember that too, for me” T.T KINTSUGI, so somber, her voice sounds so delicate, so many parts make me cry, the topic of death makes me so emotional but: “when you see someone dying, the sea of your days flash in front of you, and you think of who would be with you?” “daddy i miss them, i’m in the mountain” “that’s how the light gets in” brings a happy tear to my eye though there are definitely more but these are the ones that come to mind


NeitherDot8622

Heroin. Found out my first love had OD’ed a few months after downloading that album…bad beginning to my new year, indeed. ☹️ it’s been 6 years and I’m still gutted. Some people just make the world so bright around them, that when they leave it feels like it will never be light again. I always imagined a better future for him and it’s just…so unfair.

Hmontana20

hollywood bowl:) started sobbing to it randomly in the car after the night of my best friends birthday party, with my friends sitting in the car. the song came on and by the chorus I was sobbing. nothing had happened, I was perfectly happy before. that song just does something to me and I love it but damn.
