Black Beauty from the Deluxe album is literally Heaven
Yessss and Florida kilos is such a bop
The best
Frrrrr
Real like black beauty is my life
NEVER CLICKED SOMETHING SO FAST
i have, on cornhub lol
Same
Lou Reed was supposed to feature on Brooklyn baby but he tragically passed away right before so she had her bf at that time sing the last few lines with her.
So sad. He passed away the same day they were supposed to record the song.. They gave her the news just when she landed.
@@lorenavasques8657yes truly tragic
Here are the tracks y’all missed ✨
Black Beauty
Guns and Roses
Florida Kilos
Is This Happiness
Flipside
Yeah that makes sense they missed it since that’s the deluxe version with them songs. If they were reacting to them they would call the video. “Ultraviolence deluxe reaction”
did you finish the video? because they talked about it at the end
@@Iluvvbooks yea but they only said the deluxe had 3 songs
@@evilhag420 are the last 2 on Spotify?
@@Iluvvbooksno is this happiness is an iTunes exclusive and flipside was released through fnac, target special edition, and Japanese iTunes deluxe edition. You can find both is this happiness and flipside on UA-cam though.
Honestly? SO FUCKING excited for Honeymoon!! that album has one of the most EXTENSIVE story telling.. it is her PEAK cinamatic piece... if you are able to, you'll be able to speculate how she even lured a man to his death lmaoo her story telling is insaaaneee! and ya'll shouldn't shy away from doing extensive research for her albums! you guys are literally awesome
my favorite album
In the end of ultraviolence she sings “ lay me down tonight in my linen and curls “ which ends up being sang again in FMWUTTT
And 'Riviera girls'
This album is dark perfection…. It’s a grower… I fell in love with it years later. And now I live for every single song…. NO SKIPS

'blue' is featured on every single album on multiple songs heavily throughout the years n takes on any and all the meanings of blue that we know!! like 'feeling blue' i.e. sad/depressed, blue flame being the hottest flame, 'talk till you're blue in the face' (blue=lack of oxygen/out of breath) all the phrases and meanings associated with blue you best believe Lana has incorporated them into her work! like she says '"it's my fav color and my fav tone of song"' i.e. she likes sad songs. she says "'singing blues" referring to the genre of music. she sees herself as a student and fan of jazz and blues music. so yeah blue is a heavily used concept throughout the years
Fun fact: Pretty When You Cry was done in take. So essentially it was done live!
I can’t wait until you guys react to the deluxe tracks. Don’t forget Is This Happiness? And Flipside, because those aren’t on most streaming services and forgotten. But they are official deluxe tracks from Lana
Fun fact: Pretty when you cry was actually free-styled by lana while she was on tour if I'm not mistaken
She recorded it in one go and the song we listen to was the first and only recording of the song. Love that song omg😍
No matter how many times I have listened to the song ultraviolence it ALWAYS hits me really hard. I cry every single time. The play on "I can hear (police) sirens sirens violins violins" instead of 'violence' n how her mind changes the police sirens sound to violins to protect herself, and the "we can go back to the start when I don't know who you are" - wish I had never even known you to begin with and the "I could have died right there in his arms b/ he was right beside me"- he could have literally killed me right there; "Jim taught me that loving him was never enough"- learning that no matter how much I loved it was never enough for you. ahhh I can go on n on, it always gets to me. I bawl.
This entire record is incredibly magical in the hardest way I cry a lot and I have listened to it hundreds of time!!! Highly recommend sitting with a lot of lyrics in this album. The things she isn't saying and reading between the lines brings a new experience every fking time!! No one was doing this at that time she was soo ahead and unfortunately paid the hefty price. I am so glad finally. now several decades later she is finally getting the recognition!
The other women is her rendition of the song by Nina Simone. She is a massive admirer and student of jazz so she likes to do a cover of a famous jazz song in most of her albums.
the outfits for ultraviolence ICONICC
Oh my God yes 🤍🖤
When you compared her to princess aurora you weren’t wrong cuz she did a cover of ‘once upon a dream’ for the maleficent soundtrack ✨💜
So spot on wow
even if its just in your own time- you have to listen to Black Beauty. I am a Lana fan x10000 and i think black beauty is my favorite song from her which says a lot. it makes me fold into my mattress and weep
gurls gonna get obssessed with Florida Kilos more than they did with Brooklyn Baby 😶🌫
WHAT I THOUGHT
Brookly Baby, Florida Kilos, Sad Girl and dragon slayer all share the same guitar pluck
actually UV was not critically well received at its time at all. Critics heavily criticized her for being an "industry plant" way before the term and concept were even a thing. This criticism has followed her for her entire career. On her latest album she finally addresses it after decades saying "know they think that it took somebody else To make me beautiful, beautiful As they intended me to be
But they're wrong I know they think that it took thousands of people To put me together again like an experiment Some big man behind the scenes Sewing Frankenstein black dreams into my songs But they're wrong"
Lana said women would throw feminist books at her (whilst she would just be sitting at a cafe) because of the themes of DV. Everyone and their mom kept HEAVILY CRITICIZING her saying she was glamorizing abuse which was not the case whatsoever as it was her very very raw perception/experience of DV rather than anything else. Rolling Stones was doing a cover article on her for this album and the misogynist reporter asked her "aren't you too old to be a sad girl" and she said "well Beyonce just came out with who runs the world- girls" and he said "well that's different". So after that she never did magazine spreads or interviews till THIS year (interview magazine and Elle after decades of no PR). she stopped talking to press for over a decade because of this era.
But now we know better, now we don't re-victimize victims, now we don't ask them why they stayed etc so the cultural shift happened and upon re-review critics re-evaluated their scores and critiques (granted almost a decade later). Pitchfork even went back and re-adjusted their score very recently Even fking Fantano here on YT JUST this year re-visited and re-calibrated his opinions on this record.
thank you for writing this comment so I don't have to 😅 I especiall was thinking how this album is just now getting it's deserved reviews and it makes me want to cry because FINALLYYY - like, for me it was a love from the first listen, but also FINALLY because it means our society is changing, it is ok to depict the point o view of a victim, to BE a victim and talk about it, it's the abuser who should be ashamed. I remember at the time it was released the songs that were called feminist had to be empowering, but it almost screams toxic positivity to me and it narrows down the feminism, it excludes those who are still struggling, it erases the trauma and the process of healing.
@@iKate36 yes the whole girl boss era. I wrote another comment explaining the background to fked my way to the top and what the popular songs were at that time and how LDR didn't fit that mold. This album hits me everytime I listen to it and I have listened to it in its entirety hundreds if not thousands of times. The song uv is devastating I bawl. It's so raw, how can you not feel her pain
@@ninjaturtles12121 oh, I read that other comment and hit like, but didn't realise it was also you 😅 but same with the amount of listens I had of this album and the feelings I have towards it.
THE LONG AWAITED REACTION!!! IM SO GLAD WE CAN GO THROUGH THIS JOURNEY WITH YOU!!
This Jim is not Jack Antanoff. It can be Jim Jones, Jim Beam the liqour, or Jim Morrison. Cult leader, her alcohol addiction, living life like jim morrison (Gods and Monsters). I love the poetry of it all.
exacly, I was searching the comments to see if someone already said it! I feel like listeners too often think of "man" while listening to Lana's songs, while she writes aboute her RELATIONSHIP with addiction or fame or city
the heavy topics of DV on ultraviolence, were deliberately put in a way that showed the point of view of the victim of DV. It was already a very stigmatized topic where the women in the relationship were called out and encourage to leave the relationship in the first essence of DV in their partner. But it is NEVER easy, the survivors would be psychologically tortured in a way that they'd feel helpless and hopeless. They were made to believe that they deserve the ab*se. Lana saying 'he hit me and it felt like a kiss.' was a re-used lyric that EVEN AMY winehouse commented (on the same lyric from the original song, not Lana's) on saying, "people don't understand the depth of it.". It is a f*cked up world we live in where people hurt people and Lana was brave enough BACK IN 2014 to show the ugliness of the human psyche...in such a melancholic yet beautiful way... showing reality was never equated to 'glamourizing' as she was accused of doing back in the day...
it took years and years for critics to FINALLY understand the brilliance of Lana's lyricism that even pitchfork had to re evaluate the ratings after almost a decade! This just shows how ahead of time Lana was
Omg u guys having sponsors, so happy and proud of you!!
Bro, this is my favorite Lana album. It's dark, well produced, with great vocals, good lyrics and aesthetically it's my favorite too. I'm new to the channel and your reaction with an analysis of each song was really cool!
Please don't stop doing these videos you're analyses are soooo good
I’ve been commenting on a lot ultraviolence reactions videos and I don’t mind to add another one - pretty when you cry was completely freestyled and recorded in one take!!
I LOVE how they barely have cuts in-between the songs. Just the raw and full reaction!!
love how you disect the lyrics and appreciate them not alot of people pay attention to the songwriting
This is SOOOO GOOD I just binge watched all your Lana reactions and I can't stop!!!!! It's so pure and fun and entertaining, please never stop!!!!
Ultraviolence and Brooklyn Baby taking my soul to another universe every time i hear them. Already 10 years and nothing has changed
Ok, this is (relatively) important: there's one more song included in a deluxe edition that is a fan favorite and Lana has even performed live. It's called "Flipside", please look it up and consider reacting to it with the other 3 bonus song, preeetty pretty please? Also, there's a pretty song from hers called "I Talk To Jesus" that sort of adds to the lore of "Money Power Glory". I'm not asking you to react to it (it's not an UV song) but check it out if you're ever curious about this aspect of hers. Great video as always, girls, thanks for posting!
No there’s 2 more. Is this happiness is an iTunes exclusive that’s a part of ultraviolence and flipside.
@@jenniferg452 well, I wanted to bring up Flipside for the reasons I mentioned, but I know there's more songs. I'm sure they'll see what songs are in what special editions now that they're aware that there's multiple ones anyway.
@@Matthew-ij3zm yea the only other songs that aren’t included on the regular ultraviolence that are still a part of ultraviolence is:
Guns and roses
Black beauty
Florida kilos
Is this happiness
Flipside
so her debut album is called 'Lana Del Ray a.k.a. Lizzy Grant' but its not on officially released bc of issues w her first label but Born To Die is seen as her debut major album but its her 2nd album :) paradise is an ep she released as like a transition from btd to ultraviolence , ending the btd era.
I just sprained my NECK turning back to make sure I actually saw what I saw !! EEEEEEEEEEE I'm so excited !!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOUUUU
Siii estuve esperando este video por semanas, que emocionante y aún mejor que hablaron en español! Las quiero mucho desde Argentina 🇦🇷✨
Ultraviolence and NFR are masterpieces!
So excited for Norman fucking Rockwell and lust for life
omg i was waiting for this so bad thanks girlies
Can't wait to see your reactions to Honeymoon. Its my fave album of Lana's. It has a similar vibe to ultraviolence in a way but more old Hollywood feel I'd say. love your guy's reactions!!
Loved this reaction, I’m so happy that u guys liked it, I do agree that having TTPD probably helped on this one cuz although these are very different albums they both are heavy in lyrics and a slower pace. It’s definitely a grower, can not wait for the deluxe tracks cause I love 2 of them so much
I do believe Lana said she's been working on Old Money at least 5 years before UV came out which means this song was probably first written around 2009-2010.
A lot of people think this song could be about her parents and especially her mom when she sent her away to boarding school ("If you send for me you know I'll come"). It's also interesting in that regard to notice that she associates her dad with feelings and love ("My father's love was always strong") but associates her mom with materialistic things, like something superficial ("My mother's glamour lives on and on"). And I personally think that "Yet still inside I felt alone for reasons unknown to me" is a reference to her childhood and how she felt alone due to her existential questioning and her fear of death.
I love this song it's so emotional and yet so beautiful.
i love how u much u guys understand each other & interpret music, u def change my perspective on things i never noticed before
You have to do the deluxe tracks. Including Is This Happiness & Flipside ! It was exclusives on iTunes & the Japan version of Ultraviolence.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE. I LOVE YALL
This album is so damn good it should’ve gotten all the Grammys
It's been 84 years 🖤😅🖤
fked my way up to the top is her being ironic not literal. Her peers like Lorde were criticizing her HEAVILY for her so called "anti girl power anti feminist" approach. (at this time "girl power" the term was it, with Beyonce's who run the world and Lorde's debut, and Katy Perry's kissed a girl n liked it etc era, it was the whole girl bossing era. This feminism era failed to include women like LDR who don't fit the "strong" women box. LDR has said true feminism is inclusive and should make room for women like her too and not just the strong female empowerment types)
And here comes LDR not fitting that mold. Her peers and critics (Lorde etc) were like "she must have just fked her way up" dismissing her art n success whilst also copying her new non mainstream alt style so this was an ironic "so what if I slept my way to the top (not literal) who cares and what are you going to do abt it other than mimicking my style- psst fk off whilst I go lay down in my diamonds n pearls" kinda vibes.
I personally think that it's more a response to powerful people in the music industry, especially record labels. The song feels like a struggle between Lana and someone that she resents but needs at the same time.She has to assert her power, her skills, her dominance but they also offer fundamental support, money wise. Also I think the dragon and whore are a reference to the book of revelations, on the bible. The whore is a powerful ruler but is overthrown e eaten by a monster created by the dragon, a fallen creature. They both are on the same side, narratively, but the dragon is the original e more powerful one.
Amazing reaction, thank you.
Always loved your reactions with Lana. Hope you do more xx
im so excited for the next vids abt lana to be honeymoon, lust for life, and nfr ive been waiting for this lineup
girls you took me back when i first listened to this album ♥ please keep reacting to her albums ♥
fun fact: pretty when you cry was recoded in one go at the studio so if you listen to it with headphones it feels like they are in the room with you as it's the exact live studio recording in one go!!
Omg other UA-camrs should do their ads like you guys! Showing off the skills was 🔥🔥🔥
Okay, so it was after midnight when I saw this on my subscriptions and obviously I had to forgo sleep for the girls listening to Ultraviolence for the first time! Are you kidding? I’ve been very interested to know your thoughts on this one as it’s such a huge departure from Born to Die. I’m so happy you enjoyed it. It’s such an amazing album. I don’t listen to full album all the way through very often, and I always forget how well it flows. First off, Brooklyn Baby is my number 1 off this album and I love that you loved it. I love that you caught rhat Pretty When You Cry isn’t actually said in the song. I’ve always felt like that was something he either said, “you’re even pretty when you cry”, or maybe he called her pretty while she was crying and the idea stuck. And forgive me if this has been mentioned, but that entire song was improvised. They started playing the music and she just started singing off the top of her head. Like what do you mean? Who does that? Also, you were spot on when you said Fucked My Way Up to the Top is Lana’s Blank Space. It’s a satire of a character that media and others thought she was. And this is a direct quote, “You know, I have slept with a lot of guys in the industry, but none of them helped me get my record deals. Which is annoying.” I’m pretty sure she was joking at the end, but yeah this song is all about her just saying I don’t care what you think of me. Believe this or don’t. And like you said, the ones that get it get it.
And this is a quote about Pretty When You Cry: “The way you heard it recorded is the way I freestyled it. I made it up on the spot with my guitar player and left it as it was with that session drummer, and just called it a day on that song. Like the vocal inflection has its own narrative, it's not all lyric drive, it's just kind of moments in time that are meaningful to me left as they were, kind of untouched. The fact that i didn't go back and try to sing it better is really the story of that song, because that's sort of me revealing to you a facet of myself: I don't care that it's not perfect. That's why that song is more important in that way than what I'm actually saying.”
Jim is a like a placeholder name throughout her discography and Jim and He are one and the same on uv lol... Jim's nickname for lana was DN setting the tone for how their relationship was- aka NOT good
def check out west coast mv it will make it very clear!! she has 2 lovers. she's leaving the first young one for a moment to be with her "daddy" lover driving under the glamorous palm trees smoking cigarettes. it's fking iconic!!
FINALLY !!! I love yalls reaction to her music ! ❤
YESS HONEYMOON IS NEXT FINALLY
she says Jim brought me back, back to when she used to get hit as a kid that's why she says jim brought me back, reminded me of like when we were kids, with his ultraviolence
Yall gotta look up Barrie James O’Neill! He’s the one singing at the end of Brooklyn Baby, they dated for a while (I wish they stuck together). They have a beautiful cover together of a song called Summer Wine!
wow i'm so early, this album is honestly one of my top 3!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS OMG
Same. Been waiting a long time for this. Now it has arrived at last. 😁
Omg yesssss. I can’t wait for the honeymoon reaction. ❤
Same ❤
shades of cool alwaysss reminded me of aurora from sleeping beauty!!!! i’m so glad someone else hears that
cant remember what year exactly but definitely before 2009, Lana is also listed as Elizabeth Grant in “Old Money” simply because it is a revamp of a laptop song concept titled “Methamphetamines”
I’m dying to see you guys react to NFR! Her magnum opus. You got a ways to go if you go in order but… I can’t wait for NFR. It’s magic.
YAY!!! I really enjoyed your reaction 😍 and Ultraviolence is my faourite album of Lana ❤🔥 I get emotional, because it's been around 10 years since it was released and I still remember my first listen in my living room and how it seald my love for her ❤About the "Jim", I feel like listeners too often think of "man" while listening to Lana's songs, while she frequently writes about her RELATIONSHIP with addiction or fame or city (or it can be both, haing a double meaning). So Jim is probably the alcohol and her addiction (Jim Beam) I heard some interpretations that also points to cult leader Jim Jones who lived around 50s - 60s, since it suits the period Ultraviolence sound seems inspired by and since Lana said this in an interview➡ :"“Ultraviolence” looks back on my time in New York. I was, for a while, part of a sloping underground scene, which was dominated by a guru. He believed in the concept of destroying his followers first and then rebuilding them. I fell for him because at that time, I longed for security".
Also, I wrote this in response to somebody else's comment, but this album is JUST NOW getting it's deserved reviews and it makes me want to cry because FINALLYYY - like, for me it was a love from the first listen, but also FINALLY because it means our society is changing, it is ok to depict the point o view of a victim, to BE a victim and talk about it, it's the abuser who should be ashamed. I remember at the time it was released the songs that were called feminist had to be empowering, but it almost screams toxic positivity to me and it narrows down the feminism, it excludes those who are still struggling, it erases the trauma and the process of healing.
ALSO! I haven't seen anyone saying this in the comments yet, but during the time of releasing this album there was a drama with label: "Auerbach openly criticized her label's role on the creative output of the record. He stated the label threatened with not extending the recording session for Ultraviolence any longer unless they heard something from the record.[7] After they sent them [the label] the rough mix of what they had at the moment they were unhappy about the results. They even threatened Lana the record wasn't going to be out unless she worked with "the Adele producer", who most fans speculate to be Paul Epworth, long time producer on Adele records, who also reworked previously leaked demo of "Black Beauty" to fit in more with the sound of the record. According to Auerbach, after Epworth listened to the same rough mix he loved it and stated the album was amazing and that he wouldn't do anything to change it. His words may have influenced the label's own opinions as they changed their mind suddenly and let Lana release the record"
Plus in Rolling Stone interview Auerbach emphasized that "she sang live with a seven-piece band. That's the whole record - a seven-piece band with her singing live. It was crazy"
I love so mutch your reacts, especial when comes to Lana. If you guys will do the deluxe tracks i recommend for you put the tracks that don’t have no the Spotify like This is Happines and Flipside (one of my favs Lana song) please. ❤
cant wait for honeymoon!
“He hit me and it felt like a kiss but Jim brought me back reminded me of when we were kids” she’s talking about being abused now in her adult life and comparing it to get physical not so great childhood
Oh gurls. Do not make only the three songs on the deluxe from Spotify. There are two more also in other editions called Flipside and Is This Happiness.
You need to add it to the bonus track video. Those 5 songs are soooo needed.
Loving your reactions, btw. 🫶🏻✨
Cant wait for Honeymoon
Also fucked my way to the top is a diss to lorde bc lorde used to talk so much shit about Lana and then ended copying her style
How did she copy her style?
47:20 i love the interpretation of brooklyn baby & west coast
I CANNOT wait for y’all to get to Blue Banisters it’s gonna be insaneeee
SAME I LOVE THAT ALBUM WITH MY WHOLE HEART
Please react to the bonus tracks!! Black beauty and Florida Kilos are 2 of her best songs!!
7:50 as u go through lanas discography u will notice her regular mentioning the chance of her retiring
Oh no I’m gonna have to put the Hit me hard and soft reactions videos on pause for an hour and a half ❤
Old Money was written by Lana Del Rey, Daniel Heath & Robbie Fitzsimmons ( it’s on the digital booklet). But it’s sampled from a song in the 1968 film version of Romeo and Juliet.
Omgggg this was the best surprise
F*cked my way to the top is actually a response to the media and also to Lorde. Lorde made a few comments about Lana’s music. Also in Lorde recent album she straight copy one of lana songs from norman f*cking rockwell which is very ironic considering the comments she made about her. But im not sure if they’re still beefing.
What song is it that lorde is copying I’m intrigued to listen lol
lmao i thought it was about the infamous beef with Gaga not lorde..idk
@@taylormoran3505”Stoned at the Nail Salon”
lorde is trash fr
@@not_even_mikageno it’s about lorde not Gaga. Art deco is about Gaga
This was SO FUN to watch
OH MY GOD IVE WAITED SO LONG
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
YESSSSSS IVE BEEN WAITINGGGGGGGG
FINALLY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
I’m so excited for Honeymoon
NEVER SHOUTED LIKE THIS BEFORE SEEING THE NOTIFICATION.😭😭
omg I am so early!!! I love you guys
Immediately into Honeymoon! Pleeeeease!
THE DAY HAS COMETH !!!!!
THIS IS IT❤
Every time Bonnie is mentioned, the first thing I think of is Bonnie and Clyde.
Maybe she thinks of her relationship with him as Bonnie and Clyde, like a ride or die type of relationship.
Love your reaction. Love you ladies. ❤
I love this album.
Interesting, I always think of the Scottish folk song "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean"
@@emilyb.8219 thanks. 😎 👍

i cant wait for honeymoon
yall need to listen to the deluxe !!
aka by lizzy grant is mindset and a plot for born to die I love that album so much
This and honeymoon are my favorites
I was going to tell u omg but why not doing the deluxe version of the album ! But it’s ok, this is perfect, love your reaction girls… this is my favorite album of her and I’m so glad you have reacted to it so well

i love all the theories and conclusions they get to while reading the lyrics KFHSKDJDLKS
i always thought “bonnie on the side” was a reference to bonnie and clyde
