OK ultraviolence got a lot of hate for her "romanticizing abuse" but i totally disagree, a victim should b able to express their trauma any way they need to, and I think she portrayed the cycle of abuse and toxic relationships perfectly which made these songs resonate with so many other victims :(.
Thank you. I was actually in an abusive relationship when this album came out (and I was the other woman on top of it) and this album was SO important to me because I felt seen. Like finally someone singing exactly how I'm feeling. Completely in love with and devoted to a man who was hurting me. It made me feel like I wasn't alone. People like to think that abuse victims are all terrified of their abusers and desperate to get out the second they have the opportunity, but I was deeply in love with him and made excuse after excuse and romanticized the situation I was in and I think that's the reality for a lot of women in similar situations. Lana is the only artist I've ever found that actually shows the reality of a relationship where you are emotionally and mentally bonded with someone who is hurting you and causing you pain.
Okay you gotta do Paradise EP before you move on to Honeymoon. Ride is such a good song and the video is wild. Also, Tropico the short film is perfection.
Also there’s a deluxe version of ultraviolence that has 5 songs technically Spotify has 3 of them Apple Music has the 4 ( is this happiness) and one song that is only released in Japan called “flipside”
Dude, you gotta check out the EP Paradise (including the music videos) and the short film Tropico. And also, Burning Desire, and Young and Beautiful. It's kind of a transition from Born To Die to Ultraviolence.
On the deluxe version on Ultraviolence there 3 more tracks which are Black Beauty, Guns and Roses, and Florida Kilos (my fav) and there are also 2 more tracks called Is This Happiness and Flipside but it’s only released in Japan
There’s a big theory that the older guy from Shades of Cool and West Coast is the same guy from Born To Die, Blue Jeans, and West Coast. Lana died in the Born To Die video and still haunts him throughout his life. I love this, cuz Lana’s presence feels very mesmerising. It makes sense.
Also, congrats on over 1000 subs Lou !! That's really awesome. 👏😊 You'll have a bunch of dedicated Lana listeners supporting your channel and keeping the engagement up all the time ! I'm not usually one who fangirls over an artist, however I'm not embarrassed to say how supportive i am of Lana and everything she's ever done. I wouldn't have traveled over 5 hours to her Pittsburgh show last October 3rd for anyone else. I'm so grateful to be able to say that not only are we existing at the same time as her, i am so incredibly grateful to say I've seen her live. And the fact that i dreamt that i seen her in concert a few months prior to having tickets gifted to me to her show. Like what ?? Tf ???? There's no way any of it could have been true, but it was ! With my best friend Adriane by my side, her boyfriend drove us to the venue ! Tell me I'm trippin 😅 what a great experience. That was also a premonition ?? So surreal 😂
A lot of people gave her shit in 2020 for ultraviolence because it’s was “romanticizing” abuse but no in the song it’s pretty easy to understand and the meaning is easy it’s just her experience dating an actual cult leader in New York and it’s her experience in the lyrics she dated someone who was a cult leader so he use to do things to her and she thought it was love but no it was toxic and yeah she left him.
Idk how anyone can say Ultraviolence was “romanticizing” abuse when it’s pretty clear that this song is coming from someone in the midst of an abusive relationship. Lemme guess was it Twitter?
@@LouMurk yes 2020 and 2021 was her cancelled era because of the “ride” music video from born to die paradise edition and ultraviolence and “burning bibles” she didn’t do that plus she references god and Jesus a lot and also the infamous “ question for the culture” instagram post and her wearing a mesh mask during a book signing for her poet book but it had a plastic covering underneath the mesh. So that’s why chemtrails over the country club is very underrated and also blue banister since people really didn’t like Lana but at the same time she blew up and gained a bunch of followers like she went from 19 million monthly listeners in 2019 to almost 60 million in 2024.
Also ik im commenting a lot but im glad that instead of not paying attention and not doing research about the song and the lyrics because god damn there was so many man who react to uv and think a lot of bad things and give this album shit but it’s so good so I’m glad that you did your research and actually payed attention.
omd i’m so excited for all of ur reactions, such a balance of reaction, editing, commentary, quirkiness and pure vibe especially knowing of what collapses her future albums have to offer, you’ll love the journey trust
She uses the name Jim usually as a reference to alcohol, (jim beam), sometimes other things 2, secondly SHADES OF COOL SUPREMACYY the guitar and vocals and bridge takes it to the next leve l fr. lana is herothy mother. can ya believe pretty when u cry was freestyled AND done in one take!!! Money Power Glory is like satire bc it was what the press and paparazzi would say that's all she desires in relationships (when its not lol) so its an ironic song, same with fucked my way up to the top lorde and her had beef (mimicking me is a bore bc lana came first) and i think thats who she's mocking (and the people who labled her as a whore) Lol she is a christian, but she uses a lot of christian imagery in her songs and mv's, haha the other woman is a cover but she does it justiceeee. There r three more deluxe tracksss u gotta listen to for this album, but before u do that plssss react to her paradise ep it's my fav, its part of born to die but basically an album!!!
You really are .. I just wrote out a pretty long comment and RUclips removed it, dunno why. I don't think I said any bad words or anything. Lame. Anyways. Your little ramblings are great ! We should stop calling it rambling because it's all perfection ! 😅 you're great at entertaining people that's for sure
@LouMurk that surprises me ! Your content is fire !! 🔥 I've only ever seen your Lana content, but it's still all fire, I'm sure !!! 😅 Either way, keep on keepin on my guy ! And get used to it !!! 👍😁👍
@@LouMurk yess also i love the way u interpret her music and try to understand what shes saying and break it apart because she really is a poet. cant wait for u to react to honeymoon, its def up there in my top three with uv and bb. blue banisters is such a good album and its so personal and underrated will u be reacting to it too?
@LouMurk makes me think of Lou Reed ! Who was meant to be Lana's first feature artist, however, he sadly passed away the day Lana was the record with him in the studio. He was meant to be the backing vocals that you hear at the end of Brooklyn Baby. It was never to be .. so sad .. and crazy ! What a story ..
@LouMurk oh no, I didn't mean it like that lol, it was just hilarious for me because this is actually pretty light for Lana. It's another sarcastic clap back song. Lana loves responding to her haters in her songs .

@@sparkleclover TY for this comment girl
I love how you make some jokes with your first impression but also actually take the time to seriously analyse the songs
Gotta bring the balance
Okay you gotta do Paradise EP before you move on to Honeymoon. Ride is such a good song and the video is wild. Also, Tropico the short film is perfection.
I love watching people losing their heads to the shades of cool chorus. you did not disappoint me
Also there’s a deluxe version of ultraviolence that has 5 songs technically Spotify has 3 of them Apple Music has the 4 ( is this happiness) and one song that is only released in Japan called “flipside”
If you liked the guitar in this album, check out The Black Keys. Their guitarist/vocalist Dan Auerbach worked with Lana on a good chunk of the album.
Might have to do that 😁

Ultraviolence is in my holy trinity of her albums along with NFR and Ocean Blvd!
On the deluxe version on Ultraviolence there 3 more tracks which are Black Beauty, Guns and Roses, and Florida Kilos (my fav) and there are also 2 more tracks called Is This Happiness and Flipside but it’s only released in Japan

pretty when you cry was freestyled and done in one take
