Do people really not understand what the video is about? Like, seriously? The story is plain and simple. Even the lyrics of the song explain the video.

Am just waiting for a Gaga stan to come out with a comment like that.

I love it but I'm so sad she didn't make a real music video. This is my favorite song.

[Gui Blackout]

Love that she went back to that patchwork video aesthetic, the clips she always manage to capture the song's feeling. I'm not gonna lie, I was expecting a normally produced video, but since Carmen is not actually a single, I'm ok with it.

I hope she makes more of these videos for other songs in the album.

So beautiful, I love it.

Wow that was amazing. I don't get how people didn't get the "random" footage.

It showed drugs, sexuality, love, innocence, everything this song is about!

Yes. She said thats what she spends her money on, she puts it back into the music.

But I think she gets most of the clips from Youtube videos, and most of them are in public dominance.

Oh please Jonny. Anyone can throw in some random ass clips together and call it art. Would you still be able to decipher what it would mean?

Yes

I love it, Carmen is one of my favorite songs on Born To Die.

Not many of them, even on YouTube. She may have found them on there but chances are they legally belong to somebody - eg you couldn't legally use a clip of a music video just because someone uploaded it who didnt own it on youtube. But idk too much about that, I just remember her saying it.

Amazing video, she is fantastic, it makes me like the song slightly more

[iStanGaga]

This felt like some student made film. Was that the intention? I don't know, but I expected more. Not really impressed. I'm waiting for Dark Paradise anyways.

Didn't even finish the video. Is she still trying to get the indie cred?

Please, it's not time for this. At least she's doing something new that totally works with her art.

I love the fact that it wasn't just one girl as Carmen acting out a story. I mean that would've been nice too but this video showed that any girl could potentially play the role of Carmen within the world and society that we live in these days.

At least that's what I took from it. And also isn't Lana so pretty

... talking about Video Games. Lana herself confirmed everything in this video has a purpose. Now log out.

[Monster Boy]

It's already trending WORLDWIDE.

[sglatt]

were the clips of her with the guy just filmed or are they actual old footage?
either way, amazing video<333

[Haus]

It was good! I wish we would get a proper video because this is one of my favorite songs on the album, but it represented the song well.

But did she not do the video for this with Woodkid? I know that she edits these videos herself... maybe she's giving this just to hold us by? What happened to that supposed screen cap?

Does she have to pay royalties for any of the videos she borrows and edits? I'm curious to know.

No, I remember hearing her say something (maybe a tweet?) about how she loves looking for royalty-free videos to use for her video projects.
