Seeking Milton's Paradise through Lana Del Rey's Tropico (Renaissance project/essay video)

(Click on this thumbnail to be directed to the video on YouTube)

This video is taking a dive into Lana Del Rey's 3-chapter story (Trilogy) of her Paradise edition of Born to Die, more or less we are going to be taking a look at the songs included in the short film Tropico: Body Electric, God's and Monsters, and Bel Air. 

This video serves as a commentary analysis so before diving into this video, I would suggest listening and watching at least the film "Tropico" (https://youtu.be/VwuHOQLSpEg?si=enZPE5mapnNV1oB2). This will enable you to get a more rounded idea of what perspective we are approaching in Del Rey's Paradise.

P.S. That also includes having read or having a general understanding of Milton's Paradise Lost.

Hope you enjoy my first official musical commentary analysis.
