As an abuse survivor, I can say that I genuinely don't understand the hate this song receives. "He hit me and it felt like a kiss" is also a song by The Crystals that expresses the same message as this song--victims aren't justifying abuse, but when it's happening to them, it's so easy to romanticize it because of the love they feel for their abuser. To me, this was just a gorgeous, powerful song, not some twisted justification for abuse.
Exactly. I have been listening to this non stop since I found it even though I left my emotionally abusive and toxic relationship last year. It brings back so many memories and feelings. He never hit me; but his actions and the lies, manipulation, and ways he made me feel 'crazy' for five fucking years were very abusive. Yet, we will always have a connection deep down and a love for eachother. The only way to escape him was to cut off all contact, I tried maintaining a friendship after I left him for someone "good", and all the friendship did was complicate things or bring me drama. Now that I cut all ties my life feels easier and happier, more fulfilling, yet there are many times I miss the chaos and pain I used to have in my life. It makes no sense but it is how the human mind can be.
I feel contempt towards him. It's more of any empty "I don't know this person anymore ", like a lingering ghost, then any kind of missing them or any true hatred or anger. I'm not angry or filled with a burning rage but there also isn't any real love leftover. I just don't know who he is anymore and it is because I don't have the shades pulled over my eyes now to believe in the lie of who I wanted to believe this person was. And the last time I spoke with him because I needed a favor only he could help with, he was so different(and he didnt help me), so it is the idea that we have both moved on so there is no longer that compelling need to bend over backwards to do things for that person anymore (regardless of relationship or not, even the friendship caused one sidedness of one or the other trying to do favors, help the other out, because of the feeling of we were always supposed to do that.) That connection is severed and I don't think it has any way of ever repairing itself, it's just too far gone. The whole thing. A true friendship, anything. Like I said, now it is just a ghost of the past that still lingers from time to time through painful memories, and some happy ones, but they almost feel unreal, like it never happened. It's a strange feeling. It's like I miss the time he represented in my life, a lot of the memories and places (we are drug addicts. I am now in recovery after I left him and have almost a year clean. As for him, I don't think he is ever going to be truly sober.), so much stuff, the chaos and destruction that happened while together, the familiarity, all of that, I miss sometimes, but I don't miss HIM because he is not who I wanted him to be or who I knew him to be. We have both changed. It's a very melancholy feeling.
turtlestan wtf? This song is a sad song if u have any emotions and in this she never said be like me. She says I went through a toxic relationship and it was terrible and it made me feel so depressed that I later came up with such deep sad album and you ask me why I stayed in that relationship for so long? Because I was in love and love had blinded me and all his violence and mean behaviors seemed like attention to me. She’s just describing a toxic relationship.
I think the reason why people don't like this album is cause it's not the regular catchy thing. If you listen, you can realize this is her best album yet. The songs are so much more deep, and meaningful.
Jagoda Wojcik me too bro haha, first time i was like wtf, so boring, no melody or punch like born to die. But this album is really good after 1 or 2 times. Specially Brooklyn baby, ultra-violence and old Money my favorites :3
@@yungcunt1717 ppl feel all different emotions when in an abusive situation, it isn’t glamorization to sing about how it can make a victim feel. Lana sings her personal experience, as well as other stories and how those victims felt
'He hurt me, but it felt like true love...' Seriously, use your brains, people! She is singing about the delusion that we can all experience when we're in love with someone. She is NOT saying that domestic violence is acceptable, at all. I swear some people just like to criticize Lana for the sake of criticizing her and causing a stir!

@Jade Singer Can you explain this please as I'm a guy and I really like Lana because her lyrics are so interesting but I'm quite the opposite of how she functions so although it really intrigues me I can't seem to really understand how she processes things.
@@aconfusedshoe6240 I believe this song is somewhat an expression of what people in difficult (abusive/toxic) relationships go through, as the victim, in this song she's deeply in love with someone, so much in love that she has accepted the fact that she cannot have his love without his ultraviolence, his abuse, though she's sad and deep down wishes that things were different yet she's come to find pleasure even in the abuse that she receives, I think that's what's going on here
Kian Raz No. On BTD was used to make the album more comercial. On Ultraviolence,Dan Arubach(the producer and vocalist of The Black Keys) told that they dont fix her voice with autotune. This is her clean voice with overdub,to make that dark,melancolic atmosphere. Sorry about my bad english :D
Yeah and I believe each and every of singers we hear these days don't use Autotune! They are all true legit musicians having years of singing courses behind them!
"I can hear sirens, sirens..." is my favourite lyric in this because you can take it to mean two things - police car sirens or mythical Sirens who sung beautiful melodies that lured sailors to their deaths...
Her voice in this is just flawless, and after 2:39 it's just so much, it's so perfect, the acrobacies her voice does, makes me wanna cry, i can feel the tears coming out, Lana you are PERFECT!
i wouldnt really say this is her all time style of music as she's always done many different types of music genres, from pop to sadcore and more but if youre talking about originality that no one can do it, then that's definitely true
I think the worst part is still missing and loving the person even after realizing all the damage that has been done and how fucked up the relationship was.
@@celestecity2707 idk, in my personal experience, it felt great. I had never been so in love and everything was like a movie, you know?? I mean, if it wasnt almost magic no one would stay in a toxic relationship. It took a lot of strength to leave, even after realising and knowing how terrible it was, what a terrible person i was becoming and how we were basically killing each other
@@celestecity2707 you feel so good but at the same time you feel so manipulated by the person you love , you know it's bad and it's toxic but you love him and you don't want to lose him
My friend went back to him one time too many and lost her life at 25. Try not to let the "love" and "magic" convince any of you that this is acceptable. Seek help and lean into that help.
Lameeya Bandukwala i can understand if they don't like her music, but i can't understand why they hate her and feel the need to express it to people who like her
+Lameeya Bandukwala Personally i dont like her because i think shes a product of the industry, her father brought her career, she prettym much fucked her way to the top, young girls idolise her and copy her, which is unhealthy considering she sings about sex and fetishez older men, i have a long long list of why i dislike her but some of her music is okay
So Legit i have heard that she actually lived very poor because she didn't want her father's money/help... and she has said that she didn't actually f her way up to the top, she said she tried to (or something) but it didn't work
@@alexawilde1097 i think it's really good. I feel like the thing with some if not most of her songs is that you have to listen to them a few times before you start liking them.
Im a guy and Lana Del Reys voice is just pure magic. I can literally feel the magic around me. I am guy who listens to house and rap music. But Lana Del Rey simply brings the soul out of me.
Lana (Lizzie’s) music is deeply personal to me. I am also a man but neurodivergent. Her music has felt like an only friend with me in my darkest, most dangerous times, when nobody else was and the stakes were high. To the point where I am in a relationship with her through her music, it’s special. One chameleon soul to another, thank you.
haha it's so backwards for me, i loved west coast, couldn't get into shades of cool.. this one is ok but I'll probably have to listen a couple of times to get the vibe. excited for the album though!
Agreed with Friicky I couldnt get into shades of cool, but I really like both West Coast and now this... Looking forward to some of the reworks that are gonna come from these songs too :P
Her voice makes me think of old-fashioned things, I don't know why. That's the best way that I kind describe the feeling. I can imagine her performing at some club from like the 50's or something.
"He hurt me but it felt like true love. Jim taught me that loving him was never enough." These lyrics caught deep for those who have been in similar situations. This song should not be criticized but instead understood from a domestic violence survivors view. Such amazing lyrics, so full of emotion and really captures a wonderful message that violence DOES NOT equal love. ever.
I am in love with this song...this entire album. She has this coolness, yet elegance to her voice. It's like the finest brand of wine I've ever tasted. Her music is pure artistry, and I feel a lot people don't deserve to hear her music because they don't understand the intense emotion she puts in all her pieces. A lot of people are so hung up on this techno pop stage of music that they can't even appreciate the complexity of her music. Her music makes you think.....and sway slowly left to right with the mic in one hand and the cigarette in the other. Love you!
yeas girl!!!!!! :D She slays my life I knew her voice was lovely when I heard her older unreleased songs from her first album Lizzy Grant stuff. I was like wow it sounded better than her Video games album...... So now that she's merged the two styles her voice sound and song writing skills is even better now. And to think all those people were trying to drag her down in the beginning because she sucked at performing live. It was nerves though because she could clearly sing in her Lizzy Grant era. People don't understand how much effort it takes to build an artist. How much you have to grow as a person and as a performer to get to that level. She just needed to get used to the bigger audiences. But her talent was undeniable. I can't believe her first label shelved her album because they thought her music was too depressing.... back in 07. Seriously does everything have to be happy party music?? Nope!! Amy Winehouse made great emotional music but she didn't start out singing the blues. But in a way I'm glad she more time to grow and stay unknown because it just made Lana more driven and gave her time to mature before the fame. Her music is so lush.... *___* it's like starting at a beautiful sad painting.... except it's in your mind when you listen to her songs.
Very true! Especially when I talk to another with a friend of mine who claims to be a Lana fan but she never understands the power of the lyrics the way I do!
I cried like I ACTUALLY FUCKING CRIED GOOSEBUMPS EVERYWHERE EVERY FUCKING WHERE THIS SONG IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR FOR AGES OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD IT'S ULTRAVIOLENCE... ULTRAVIOLENCE.. OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD...
Lana Del Rey is one of the most under appreciate artist of our time... and i kinda like her that way. She has stayed gritty and delicious as an under ground treat that would spoil if it went too mainstream! #LOVELANA
Norbie Kamantigue I wou;don't care if she only sold 100 copies. As long as the quality is good, the quantity and popularity doesn't matter to me. I liked her before it was all about the numbers.
I've been dealing with a lot of mental issues lately and someone brought up that I may have been sexually abused when I was young. From what I've gathered, this song is about abuse but not specifically sexual abuse but it still hits close to home & makes me tear up even though I have no recollection of any abuse occurring at any point in my life. But that's what I love about Lana's music. You can still relate to her songs even if you haven't experienced all that she's experienced.
+natalie walsh Is the show good?? The first season was horrible, so I haven't watched any of the other seasons:) But I've seen a few scenes from the Freak Show, and it looks better
I know this song is suppose to be about lovers but right now in this moment of my life, it makes me think of my mother and I. Not everything in the song obviously but just what it's about. like idk how to describe, a relationship where loving the other can get hard, ugly and mean.
@@shadypenguinX well actually, i think some of the song is about cult leader Jim Jones, who would abuse his followers, 3:24 'and you're my cult leader' thats the theory i heard about this song. but i don't think we'll ever know what this song's about, either theories could be right and wrong
Came here after the disappointment of the Grammy's. If people can't appreciate how brilliantly talented Lana is, then surely she is above and beyond any musical award. Grammy's are officially trash.
I'm in love with her new music. I'm in love with her old music. I don't think there's anything this woman could do to stop making me love her even more.
Comparing this song with her past experience of alcohol abuse as a kid, I would assume that the "JIM" in her song is "JIM BEAM" whiskey. There are parts like "I could have died right there, Cause Jim was right beside me, Jim raised me up" or "Reminded me of when we were kids."
hehe i thought that perhaps she was talking about Jim Jones, the cult leader...since she mention ''cult leader'' in her song...but that doesnt make any sense xd
Alexis Agee Meggami as i said, I just assume that's the meaning of the song. i just hope people would stop thinking that she's glorifying domestic violence or any kind of violence. I hope she will clear up the meaning of the song in the near future.
I agree with Alexis Agee Lana's said that most all of her songs are about the same guy, besides This is What Makes Us Girls and Carmen and such, and Jimmy Gnecco and Lana were once in a relationship, and she has a song called Jimmy Gnecco, and he's opened for her, almost all, if not all, of Lana's songs are about personal experience or perception, so it would make sense that Jim is Jimmy Gnecco, probably shortened to Jim 'cus it's shorter and fits better with the flow of the song, possibly also to protect him in case people began accusing him as "Jimmy in Ultraviolence, who hit Lana when they were dating". She probably needed there to be possible alternatives besides Jimmy for people to consider Jim meaning, which was thoughtful of her, but it's most likely Gnecco. I wonder how he feels about this song...
i’m listening to this because i just recently got out of a very toxic relationship, he was my only source of love and confidence, i gave him everything i could and more yet it was never enough, he was using me for my body and it’s still very hard to comprehend, i’m deeply hurt yet i can’t help but love him Update- About a year later i’m healing but i’ve gotten so much better
i was reading the Rolling Stones review and how they said her album wasn't that good BUT since i have always liked her songs and have bought her other two albums (Born to Die and Paradise) i decided to buy it anyways and since her album hit number 1 in sales for the first week and i heard this song ultraviolence before buying her CD and i was sold from this song alone. let me just say Rolling Stone must only like that fast hype music like everyone else. i feel in love with Ultraviolence, money power glory, florida kilos, and basically her whole album. yes it is very stripped down from her previous album but i like it, it shows her emotions LOVE Lana Del Rey
She co wrote most of the songs.. I dont get why your so upset with the review. Yes, compared to top 40 music, Her new album is a masterpiece. Do you really want to go by that bar? Its a decent album. Their are some amazing songs on the record. Why attack everyone, that disagrees with you? You put your review, of a review. Did you even catch any of the references in the review? Lana fans are split. Deal with it.
she is not romanticizing abuse!! she is explaining it from the perspective of the abused, when you are in love with someone you are often blinded. you don’t realize how poisonous and toxic that person is for you because they are the image of love to you. especially with your first love, everything the other does you consider “love”. the person you love is fully capable of manipulating you since you are at a vulnerable state mentally and won’t mind (where lana was in this song). “he hit me but it felt like a kiss” (i know it’s not her line technically) perfectly encapsulates how as sick as whatever the person you love is putting you through, you will love them because, frankly, you love them. you will put yourself through insane hoops just to receive the kick of chemicals you indulge in whenever you are in their presence. it has a striking, if not exact, resemblance to drug abuse because you are addicted to that person.
As someone who barely listens to any sort of pop music I can say Lana's voice is just beautiful. It's like being in a trance or something. Fucking depressing and awe inspiring at the same time
What are you Lana, seriously? How can you make such perfect songs? I feel my soul warm listening to these. I'm so happy my summer holidays will be accompany by your album and your song. The tears...
I understand this song now in 2024, compared to in 2014 when I was 13. I'm now 23, and having been in an abuser coercive relationship with a Narcissist I can relate to the song-the Stockholm Syndrome/Trauma bond you have with a perpetrator of abuse-especially because if you have a parent who was also Narcissistic you continue in adulthood with the idea that this relationship is healthy but you find out the hard way through heartbreak and breaking the trauma bond. I developed to understand the song. I love you forever Lana Del Rey your music is timeless -Isaac
I read the Rolling Stones article and what Lana says is she writes not for anyone but herself this is her art and she likes to listen to it and if someone like me or anyone else out there likes it then she is happy with that... but she truly writes for herself. I think she is artistic and pretty amazing! Love it and thumbs up!
It’s the way she isn’t glamorizing it it really is just sometimes you love the person who hurts you and you can’t help she just is telling her story in a beautiful way and being vulnerably honest which is hard
Her best album ever. Together with honeymoon. I don't get why people don't like this pure masterpiece. Every song of this album is basically pure drugs. The stuff I get high with.
The chorus is sung in an almost outer worldly tone and is hypnotic. Lana I don't think my love for you can grow any stronger. I can't even barely listen to other songs on my phone besides your music. I'm obsessed. And this may be my newest second favorite song by you (summertime sadness is and will always be the penultimate song to coexist in this finite galaxy melodiously amongst other mediocre harmonies)
Not even out? Don't you know usually Lana's songs leak prior to the album? I somehow always find them. You just gotta dig. But if you knew Lana you wouldn't have made that comment.
Nice to see Lana is finally getting haters! Nowadays they represent how good an artist actually is, she's just so good that the jelous ones are starting to be in the comment section trying to expand the hate
I love this song, and cannot wait for the album! He used to call me DN That stood for deadly nightshade Cause I was filled with poison But blessed with beauty and rage Jim told me that He hit me and it felt like a kiss Jim brought me back Reminded me of when we were kids This is ultraviolence Ultraviolence Ultraviolence Ultraviolence I can hear sirens, sirens He hit me and it felt like a kiss I can hear violins, violins Give me all of that ultraviolence He used to call me poison Like I was poison ivy I could have died right there Cause he was right beside me Jim raised me up He hurt me but it felt like true love Jim taught me that Loving him was never enough This is ultraviolence Ultraviolence Ultraviolence Ultraviolence I can hear sirens, sirens He hit me and it felt like a kiss I can hear violins, violins Give me all of that ultraviolence We can go back to New York Loving you was really hard We can go back 'til it's dark Where they don't know who we are Heaven is on earth I will do anything for you, babe Blessed is this, this union Crying tears of gold, like lemonade I love you the first time I love you the last time Yo soy la princesa, comprende mis white lines Cause I'm your jazz singer And you're my cult leader I love you forever, I love you forever This is ultraviolence Ultraviolence Ultraviolence Ultraviolence I can hear sirens, sirens He hit me and it felt like a kiss I can hear violins, violins Give me all of that ultraviolence
everyone leaving nasty comments on the videos lately: lana doesn't really care much of what you guys think. i see so many insults to lana on the reg but she's been criticized her whole career because she's something that the human brain can't even comprehend. i remember seeing her in person, there were these drunk british guys (we were in boston, near fenway) calling her anal del rey and she just laughed, and went back to paying attention to her fans that actually cared. that's all she really cares about, is her REAL fans. i remember the chills i got when she first looked at me. i didn't know what to say, should i give her my shirt or take a photo? so i just simply told her how much her music means to me and how i have such beautiful, happy, and sad memories wrapped around her music and that her performance made me cry, she hugged me, and she was kinda happy that i cried and i hope i reminded her how powerful she is. she hugged me, and i thanked her for beautiful music. i was so lucky, yes i have a photo and an autograph but that conversation is the only reason i left truly happy. meeting her kind of ruined me, like i was taken through heaven just to go back to hell.. that's literally how that entire day felt. some people just won't ever understand. i love you lana del rey.
just like lana herself said, she doesn't read any negative feedback, she doesn't pay attention to it. the reason these people are so nasty is cause they're truly pissted. she made it when they wanted her to fail so dramatically. it makes me laugh. i would hate to see the karma they get in life from feeding off of others demise. now all i say is i told you so, she's amazing and you can't do anything about it. the people who connect with her such as myself will be with her for life.
and i cannot believe you have lived my dream. i know that one day i will meet her as you did, i will cry tears of happiness, sadness, and overall understanding. she sings how I feel. I will let her know that I truly would love to be friends with her. I know its probably not possible but I dream of it daily.
I don't think Lana is glamorizing this, I think she's telling a story of what happened to her. She's telling a personal story of falling in love with an abusive person but being blinded by it. She's not saying it's okay to hit your lover, she's not saying it's fun, she's saying she was blinded by it and she was in love, but realized the agony he was pulling her through
I think when she says "Give me that ultraviolence" she is implying that it's ok, and that she wants it, and that it's fun because it supposedly feels like true love and a kiss. I think you are blinded by your own biases. You're suffering from what we call experiential avoidance. In other words, screw what's clearly right in front of your face, this is how you "want" to believe and so that's how you'll believe. Wait until the wake-up call comes... :(
To be honest, I really don't know what Lana is saying, but I doubt she enjoyed being hit or saying it's okay to be hit. But, until we get a straight answer from her, we are allowed to our own opinions.

I can not stop listening. I'm addicted to Lana's voice !
Lana's voice or Autotune's voice!?
Kian Raz No. On BTD was used to make the album more comercial. On Ultraviolence,Dan Arubach(the producer and vocalist of The Black Keys) told that they dont fix her voice with autotune. This is her clean voice with overdub,to make that dark,melancolic atmosphere. Sorry about my bad english :D
Kian Raz NO! She's not an autotune person. In this song, her voice is layererd, not autotuned.
***** Oh! Glad to talk to her Sound Engineer then! Nice to meet you!
Yeah and I believe each and every of singers we hear these days don't use Autotune! They are all true legit musicians having years of singing courses behind them!
noone else sounds like her. thats why i like her.
Hope Sandoval sounds like her. Actually, Lana sounds like Hope Sandoval.
Ana M no
@@elio_fay yes
@@Ana-ls8rh no hope Sandoval sounds like lana
@@Ana-ls8rh no shut up lmao
"I can hear sirens, sirens..." is my favourite lyric in this because you can take it to mean two things - police car sirens or mythical Sirens who sung beautiful melodies that lured sailors to their deaths...
Riviera girls...
'Entendre'
OMG I thought I was the only one who noticed that
Congrats Einstein
"I can hear the violence, violence" could it also be violins?
Her voice in this is just flawless, and after 2:39 it's just so much, it's so perfect, the acrobacies her voice does, makes me wanna cry, i can feel the tears coming out, Lana you are PERFECT!
I agree. I am in love with the bridge in this song
Perfect!
This is her original style of music :) I love it!!
I wouldn't necessarily say this was her original style shes alwayd done pop or songs like this
i wouldnt really say this is her all time style of music as she's always done many different types of music genres, from pop to sadcore and more but if youre talking about originality that no one can do it, then that's definitely true
@@cryingtm7237 this is not POP.
Sexy, cold and depressing; overall addictive.
Right
Lmaooo
Yass, sis. Get into the Queen, Miss Lana.
Yep
Ok fake depressed teen
I think the worst part is still missing and loving the person even after realizing all the damage that has been done and how fucked up the relationship was.
I'm just curious but how does such an abusive and toxic relationship make you feel?
@@celestecity2707 idk, in my personal experience, it felt great. I had never been so in love and everything was like a movie, you know?? I mean, if it wasnt almost magic no one would stay in a toxic relationship. It took a lot of strength to leave, even after realising and knowing how terrible it was, what a terrible person i was becoming and how we were basically killing each other
@@celestecity2707 you feel so good but at the same time you feel so manipulated by the person you love , you know it's bad and it's toxic but you love him and you don't want to lose him
My friend went back to him one time too many and lost her life at 25. Try not to let the "love" and "magic" convince any of you that this is acceptable. Seek help and lean into that help.
" He said loving him was never enough " That's my favorite line !

“Jim raised me up, he hurt me but it felt like true love. Jim taught me that loving him is never enough.”
I don't understand people who don't like lana
Lameeya Bandukwala i can understand if they don't like her music, but i can't understand why they hate her and feel the need to express it to people who like her
+Lameeya Bandukwala Personally i dont like her because i think shes a product of the industry, her father brought her career, she prettym much fucked her way to the top, young girls idolise her and copy her, which is unhealthy considering she sings about sex and fetishez older men, i have a long long list of why i dislike her but some of her music is okay
So Legit i have heard that she actually lived very poor because she didn't want her father's money/help... and she has said that she didn't actually f her way up to the top, she said she tried to (or something) but it didn't work
Meccarox Awesome, well if thats the case then i have nothing but respect for her
***** Nothing, as long as your old enough to vote lol then its none of my business

She cant make a bad song even if she tried.
Jackelyn sanchez you should listen to normAn fucking Rockwell , I’m disappointed
@@alexawilde1097 i think it's really good. I feel like the thing with some if not most of her songs is that you have to listen to them a few times before you start liking them.

Y’all do you notice at 3:32 the under progression and beat is from Fu**ed my way up to the top underneath ultra violence! I AM SHOOK IT SOUNDS SO GOOD

I had the chance to, and I promise you that you won't be any deceived
I've seen her and she was so wonderful
I love her very much , but she can't sing LIVE. She admit that many times.
Chris Angel yes she can, she sings so good, obviously in the album the songs are fixed
she NEVER disappoints. So proud.
Me too... So proud of her
support lana at all cost. love you queen
Haunting. The song, the album's aesthetic, Lana herself.

Im a guy and Lana Del Reys voice is just pure magic. I can literally feel the magic around me. I am guy who listens to house and rap music. But Lana Del Rey simply brings the soul out of me.
Lana (Lizzie’s) music is deeply personal to me. I am also a man but neurodivergent. Her music has felt like an only friend with me in my darkest, most dangerous times, when nobody else was and the stakes were high.
To the point where I am in a relationship with her through her music, it’s special. One chameleon soul to another, thank you.
@@excrono, Terrence Loves You, she’s signaling us…..
i wasn't so sure about this album when i heard West Coast. Then Shades of Cool came out, now this. I'm SO excited ffs
haha it's so backwards for me, i loved west coast, couldn't get into shades of cool.. this one is ok but I'll probably have to listen a couple of times to get the vibe. excited for the album though!
FriickyFresh101 same.
I've gotten into all of them! WOOOOOOOOOT
Agreed with Friicky I couldnt get into shades of cool, but I really like both West Coast and now this... Looking forward to some of the reworks that are gonna come from these songs too :P
but.. west coast is perfection! this song is good too
So dark, so beauty... This is Lana!🤧🖤
the guitar on all of her new album songs are on. point.
this is haunting, magnetic, and angelic all in one... her voice is just soothing, amazing... it gives me goosebumps.
Her voice makes me think of old-fashioned things, I don't know why. That's the best way that I kind describe the feeling. I can imagine her performing at some club from like the 50's or something.
Then she's done a good job because I'm pretty sure that's what she's going for! Amazing either way.
+Katie DeLong When i hear her voice, i wanne jump in my Lincoln mark 3 1972 and cruise all day :)
+Katie DeLong I'm thinking more of a late 60s early 70s vibe in her singing.
Personally i feel like sometimes shes got a 70's vibe but with some of her songs i feel like she should be a singer in a speakeasy during the 20's
"He hurt me
but it felt like true love.
Jim taught me that
loving him was never enough."
These lyrics caught deep for those who have been in similar situations. This song should not be criticized but instead understood from a domestic violence survivors view. Such amazing lyrics, so full of emotion and really captures a wonderful message that violence DOES NOT equal love. ever.
I am in love with this song...this entire album. She has this coolness, yet elegance to her voice. It's like the finest brand of wine I've ever tasted. Her music is pure artistry, and I feel a lot people don't deserve to hear her music because they don't understand the intense emotion she puts in all her pieces. A lot of people are so hung up on this techno pop stage of music that they can't even appreciate the complexity of her music. Her music makes you think.....and sway slowly left to right with the mic in one hand and the cigarette in the other. Love you!
YES OMG YES
yeas girl!!!!!! :D She slays my life I knew her voice was lovely when I heard her older unreleased songs from her first album Lizzy Grant stuff. I was like wow it sounded better than her Video games album...... So now that she's merged the two styles her voice sound and song writing skills is even better now. And to think all those people were trying to drag her down in the beginning because she sucked at performing live. It was nerves though because she could clearly sing in her Lizzy Grant era. People don't understand how much effort it takes to build an artist. How much you have to grow as a person and as a performer to get to that level. She just needed to get used to the bigger audiences. But her talent was undeniable. I can't believe her first label shelved her album because they thought her music was too depressing.... back in 07. Seriously does everything have to be happy party music?? Nope!! Amy Winehouse made great emotional music but she didn't start out singing the blues. But in a way I'm glad she more time to grow and stay unknown because it just made Lana more driven and gave her time to mature before the fame. Her music is so lush.... *___* it's like starting at a beautiful sad painting.... except it's in your mind when you listen to her songs.
Very true! Especially when I talk to another with a friend of mine who claims to be a Lana fan but she never understands the power of the lyrics the way I do!
Everything you said is all the stuff that I feel when I hear her music lol
***** I totally agree with you !

2:30 is the best part
This might be the best song she's ever done. I feel like a proud parent.

Lana Del Rey is one of the most under appreciate artist of our time... and i kinda like her that way. She has stayed gritty and delicious as an under ground treat that would spoil if it went too mainstream! #LOVELANA
7 million copies of Born to Die sold worldwide. Sneaky bitch. Lol
I bought her CD at target by the check out... Pretty sure she's mainstream lol :)
Almost a million views in less than a day? Come on!
Norbie Kamantigue I wou;don't care if she only sold 100 copies. As long as the quality is good, the quantity and popularity doesn't matter to me. I liked her before it was all about the numbers.
10 years later, how do you feel?

@@davyjooj eu me sinto todo dia
@@davyjoojPior que eu tô
I've been dealing with a lot of mental issues lately and someone brought up that I may have been sexually abused when I was young. From what I've gathered, this song is about abuse but not specifically sexual abuse but it still hits close to home & makes me tear up even though I have no recollection of any abuse occurring at any point in my life. But that's what I love about Lana's music. You can still relate to her songs even if you haven't experienced all that she's experienced.
I don't relate to any of her experiences but I like her songs
this song is about alcoholism
+Júnior Alves or the Jamestown mass suicide, hence the name Jim "Jim Jones"

I love Lana and Lorde.. And Lorde said her music is irrelevant to HER. she said its amazing she just doesn't relate to it.

+L Videos YES!! Check out season 3. It's my favorite
I know this song is suppose to be about lovers but right now in this moment of my life, it makes me think of my mother and I. Not everything in the song obviously but just what it's about. like idk how to describe, a relationship where loving the other can get hard, ugly and mean.
lana songs have many senses
It’s actually about her and her alcohol abuse she used to drink Jim Bean.
@@shadypenguinX well actually, i think some of the song is about cult leader Jim Jones, who would abuse his followers, 3:24 'and you're my cult leader' thats the theory i heard about this song. but i don't think we'll ever know what this song's about, either theories could be right and wrong
me too! I had an abusive mother
I'm crying
You are not alone T-T.
You are not alone guys... *hug*
Newton Vitas i hope your joking : ) its normal to have emotions lol
Your a Lana fangirl too? I GOT YOU!

Lana using spanish in her songs, is just orgasmic !!!
YAAAAAAAAS
Yaaap
If you decide to play this song, you can't stop hitting the replay button. There's something soothing and addictive in this song.
Comparing this song with her past experience of alcohol abuse as a kid, I would assume that the "JIM" in her song is "JIM BEAM" whiskey. There are parts like "I could have died right there, Cause Jim was right beside me, Jim raised me up" or "Reminded me of when we were kids."
I thought it was for Jimmy Gnecco?
hehe i thought that perhaps she was talking about Jim Jones, the cult leader...since she mention ''cult leader'' in her song...but that doesnt make any sense xd
Alexis Agee Meggami as i said, I just assume that's the meaning of the song. i just hope people would stop thinking that she's glorifying domestic violence or any kind of violence. I hope she will clear up the meaning of the song in the near future.
I agree with Alexis Agee Lana's said that most all of her songs are about the same guy, besides This is What Makes Us Girls and Carmen and such, and Jimmy Gnecco and Lana were once in a relationship, and she has a song called Jimmy Gnecco, and he's opened for her, almost all, if not all, of Lana's songs are about personal experience or perception, so it would make sense that Jim is Jimmy Gnecco, probably shortened to Jim 'cus it's shorter and fits better with the flow of the song, possibly also to protect him in case people began accusing him as "Jimmy in Ultraviolence, who hit Lana when they were dating". She probably needed there to be possible alternatives besides Jimmy for people to consider Jim meaning, which was thoughtful of her, but it's most likely Gnecco. I wonder how he feels about this song...
it could be jim for jim beam because she did state that she was an alcoholic when she was a teenager so like idk
This song is a masterpiece, just read the lyrics, one of her best songs
Alx Ramz and album
Her album comes out on my birthday omg yes. This is perfect!
And your gift is her album
Mine too! :)
i’m listening to this because i just recently got out of a very toxic relationship, he was my only source of love and confidence, i gave him everything i could and more yet it was never enough, he was using me for my body and it’s still very hard to comprehend, i’m deeply hurt yet i can’t help but love him
Update- About a year later i’m healing but i’ve gotten so much better
Head up, sis don’t forget who you are and who you want to be☺️

I hope she never becomes mainstream..
She is mainstream..
1,666,890 views. Hello? She already IS mainstream...
Alex Zuno
7 billion people in the world and 2 million views (which can come from multiple sources and undoubtedly has) makes you mainstream. Okay.
or the fact that summertime sadness has 157 billion views
Not really, she's really not that well known, like if you run into somebody and ask them about Lana Del Rey that probably haven't heard of her.
i was reading the Rolling Stones review and how they said her album wasn't that good BUT since i have always liked her songs and have bought her other two albums (Born to Die and Paradise) i decided to buy it anyways and since her album hit number 1 in sales for the first week and i heard this song ultraviolence before buying her CD and i was sold from this song alone. let me just say Rolling Stone must only like that fast hype music like everyone else. i feel in love with Ultraviolence, money power glory, florida kilos, and basically her whole album. yes it is very stripped down from her previous album but i like it, it shows her emotions LOVE Lana Del Rey
Yeah, Lana Del Rey is like anything good from the 80's (I'm ancient.) minus the bad (There was lots of bad.). This album is wonderful. I was floored.
Joe Williamson yeah i love her voice
Yeah, her music is so eclectic and imperfect. I think that's what makes it so beautiful.
FluffyPurpleKitty and the fact that she actually writes her own songs instead of a son writer writing her songs like other singers
She co wrote most of the songs.. I dont get why your so upset with the review. Yes, compared to top 40 music, Her new album is a masterpiece. Do you really want to go by that bar? Its a decent album. Their are some amazing songs on the record. Why attack everyone, that disagrees with you? You put your review, of a review. Did you even catch any of the references in the review? Lana fans are split. Deal with it.
she is not romanticizing abuse!! she is explaining it from the perspective of the abused, when you are in love with someone you are often blinded. you don’t realize how poisonous and toxic that person is for you because they are the image of love to you. especially with your first love, everything the other does you consider “love”. the person you love is fully capable of manipulating you since you are at a vulnerable state mentally and won’t mind (where lana was in this song). “he hit me but it felt like a kiss” (i know it’s not her line technically) perfectly encapsulates how as sick as whatever the person you love is putting you through, you will love them because, frankly, you love them. you will put yourself through insane hoops just to receive the kick of chemicals you indulge in whenever you are in their presence. it has a striking, if not exact, resemblance to drug abuse because you are addicted to that person.
As someone who barely listens to any sort of pop music I can say Lana's voice is just beautiful. It's like being in a trance or something. Fucking depressing and awe inspiring at the same time
I WANT THIS ALBUM NOW!
I WANT LANA NOW!
We Want " Ultraviolence " now ... I can't wait for her new album
What are you Lana, seriously? How can you make such perfect songs? I feel my soul warm listening to these.
I'm so happy my summer holidays will be accompany by your album and your song.
The tears...
I understand this song now in 2024, compared to in 2014 when I was 13. I'm now 23, and having been in an abuser coercive relationship with a Narcissist I can relate to the song-the Stockholm Syndrome/Trauma bond you have with a perpetrator of abuse-especially because if you have a parent who was also Narcissistic you continue in adulthood with the idea that this relationship is healthy but you find out the hard way through heartbreak and breaking the trauma bond.
I developed to understand the song. I love you forever Lana Del Rey your music is timeless -Isaac
I CAN'T STOP LISTENING
Still cant stop listening? Even after 8 years?
I read the Rolling Stones article and what Lana says is she writes not for anyone but herself this is her art and she likes to listen to it and if someone like me or anyone else out there likes it then she is happy with that... but she truly writes for herself. I think she is artistic and pretty amazing! Love it and thumbs up!
Lana's best song to date
It’s the way she isn’t glamorizing it it really is just sometimes you love the person who hurts you and you can’t help she just is telling her story in a beautiful way and being vulnerably honest which is hard
"Heaven is on earth" I love how she recycles a few of her classic one liners it's like a signature
SHE SLAYED ALL OF US.
this awakens your emotions just close your eyes and don't think

Her voice is mesmerizing.
I can't even tell how much I love her voice, songs and personality. God she is like queen of everything...
I don't know if I'm ready for this album. It seems so emotional.
***** Um, thanks.
***** Says the man named Jesus.
***** Well guys he IS just being honest... It's in his name!
Once you start listening Lana's songs you cant stop listening them.
This woman pulls strings in my soul I didn’t even know existed.
Her best album ever. Together with honeymoon. I don't get why people don't like this pure masterpiece. Every song of this album is basically pure drugs. The stuff I get high with.
Can you tell me albums similar to honeymoon and ultraviolence from other artists?I love both of these albums so much
The chorus is sung in an almost outer worldly tone and is hypnotic. Lana I don't think my love for you can grow any stronger. I can't even barely listen to other songs on my phone besides your music. I'm obsessed. And this may be my newest second favorite song by you (summertime sadness is and will always be the penultimate song to coexist in this finite galaxy melodiously amongst other mediocre harmonies)
Thanks now I know my not the only one
i disagree about summertime sadness but you're right besides that
Lana needed guitars for sure, this album is gonna be epic as fuck.
Im still curious about "fucked my way up to the top" don't know why lol.
***** what about cola from born to die lol
I'm curious about Cruel World and Power Money Glore
***** Loved that song hahaha :D.
Happy 7 years to this masterpiece of a track!!!
Im dying right now! I think I violated the replay button.
I don't think there's even a replay button left since I destroyed the shit out of it
Lana is too ethereal..
Best song of the album..♥
It's not even out lol.
anotherplanet000 I know right! LOL
Not even out? Don't you know usually Lana's songs leak prior to the album? I somehow always find them. You just gotta dig. But if you knew Lana you wouldn't have made that comment.
Chad Thomas None of the songs were out or had leaked at the time I made that comment. Only the ones she had released.

He used to call me DN
That stood for deadly nightshade
Cause I was filled with poison
But blessed with beauty and rage
Jim told me that
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
Jim brought me back
Reminded me of when we were kids
This is ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
I can hear sirens, sirens
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
I can hear violins, violins
Give me all of that ultraviolence
He used to call me poison
Like I was poison ivy
I could have died right there
Cause he was right beside me
Jim raised me up
He hurt me but it felt like true love
Jim taught me that
Loving him was never enough
This is ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
I can hear sirens, sirens
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
I can hear violins, violins
Give me all of that ultraviolence
We can go back to New York
Loving you was really hard
We can go back 'til it's dark
Where they don't know who we are
Heaven is on earth
I will do anything for you, babe
Blessed is this, this union
Crying tears of gold, like lemonade
I love you the first time
I love you the last time
Yo soy la princesa, comprende mis white lines
Cause I'm your jazz singer
And you're my cult leader
I love you forever,
I love you forever
This is ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
I can hear sirens, sirens
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
I can hear violins, violins
Give me all of that ultraviolence
Amazing!
AMAZING LANA AS ALWAYS
everything that makes this woman is perfect
she is a queen
一聽這便迷上了，還在期待她的下一張專輯。Love her
this album is going to be so amazing im crying
everyone leaving nasty comments on the videos lately: lana doesn't really care much of what you guys think. i see so many insults to lana on the reg but she's been criticized her whole career because she's something that the human brain can't even comprehend. i remember seeing her in person, there were these drunk british guys (we were in boston, near fenway) calling her anal del rey and she just laughed, and went back to paying attention to her fans that actually cared. that's all she really cares about, is her REAL fans. i remember the chills i got when she first looked at me. i didn't know what to say, should i give her my shirt or take a photo? so i just simply told her how much her music means to me and how i have such beautiful, happy, and sad memories wrapped around her music and that her performance made me cry, she hugged me, and she was kinda happy that i cried and i hope i reminded her how powerful she is. she hugged me, and i thanked her for beautiful music. i was so lucky, yes i have a photo and an autograph but that conversation is the only reason i left truly happy. meeting her kind of ruined me, like i was taken through heaven just to go back to hell.. that's literally how that entire day felt. some people just won't ever understand. i love you lana del rey.
OH MY GOD, PREACH!!! YOU JUST READ MY MIND I LOVE YOU!!!!❤
Hope one day meet her, she is so humble with her fan, you're lucky and Lana Del Rey is amazing.
just like lana herself said, she doesn't read any negative feedback, she doesn't pay attention to it. the reason these people are so nasty is cause they're truly pissted. she made it when they wanted her to fail so dramatically. it makes me laugh. i would hate to see the karma they get in life from feeding off of others demise. now all i say is i told you so, she's amazing and you can't do anything about it. the people who connect with her such as myself will be with her for life.
and i cannot believe you have lived my dream. i know that one day i will meet her as you did, i will cry tears of happiness, sadness, and overall understanding. she sings how I feel. I will let her know that I truly would love to be friends with her. I know its probably not possible but I dream of it daily.
damn nigga wrote more than his hw lmfao
I don't think Lana is glamorizing this, I think she's telling a story of what happened to her. She's telling a personal story of falling in love with an abusive person but being blinded by it. She's not saying it's okay to hit your lover, she's not saying it's fun, she's saying she was blinded by it and she was in love, but realized the agony he was pulling her through
exactly.
i agree with you
I think when she says "Give me that ultraviolence" she is implying that it's ok, and that she wants it, and that it's fun because it supposedly feels like true love and a kiss. I think you are blinded by your own biases. You're suffering from what we call experiential avoidance. In other words, screw what's clearly right in front of your face, this is how you "want" to believe and so that's how you'll believe. Wait until the wake-up call comes... :(
To be honest, I really don't know what Lana is saying, but I doubt she enjoyed being hit or saying it's okay to be hit. But, until we get a straight answer from her, we are allowed to our own opinions.
