Thunder Revenant

So I saw that 'cold cash divine, cashmere, cologne and white sunshine' UV promo poster on tumblr and couldn't find it anywhere in hq so I made this bc it's just so gorgeous and ultraviolent.
 

Those lyrics "cold cash, divine, cashmere, cologne and white sunshine" remind me of 1949 or Every Man Gets His Wish. They even kinda rhyme with "We gonna party like it's 1949, We in the Pontiac/Chevrolet from July to July". Inb4 we'll get a UV version of those songs.

Well, even if it may sound weird, I really want songs like this on the album. I mean, it's called Ultraviolence, so it shouldn't bee all fun and games and just about "failed relationships" or something. UV itself .. yeah, it fits the theme, but I want more songs with "ultraviolent" topics, so Lana shows us she's not always the flower-crown-wearing girl with lovesongs.

Imagine if she samples this on one of the tracks on Ultraviolence:
 

 
Or use it as an intro for the album and/or tour

You can buy Burning Desire on its own without buying the whole album, hopefully it will be the same for Is This Happiness.

On Wikipédia, it says the Japanese Edition contains 14 tracks + 2 bonus tracks (16 tracks).
The bonus are Flipside and Is This Happiness.

Count on me for sharing it in PM when I will have it !

Well, atleast ONE other video would make sense. I mean, there are 2 more settings we've seen, which feature the boys hanging out and some more red-dress scenes. All other scenes are infact outtakes from WC. So maybe there will be one video featuring the same settings, could imagine this for something like Brooklyn Baby.
I hope Ultraviolence gets it's own music video, as it really tells a story.

When I think about it, Pretty When You Cry could easily be slightly sappy, or something really dark. I almost imagine it along the lines of Ultraviolence ("he hit me and it felt like a kiss") where there could be explicit abuse and someone is getting physical (or verbal) and telling her she's prettier when she's crying. I dunno. But I think it could potentially be monstrously fucked up.

wtf?! No offense, but Japanese fellow members, but I AM jealous.
 
But if any of y'all wanna help a Brutha out when it's released, though

Lana fans are literally the most over-thinking bunch of people. lol I personally love the sound of Brooklyn Baby, the lyrics are fine. I wasnt expecting every song to be written at the highest level, but I dont think these lyrics are too bad. Maybe this song wasnt meant to be a lyrical song, but more of a just listen to the sound and feel it, type of song. Idk.

Black Beauty could be BBY too lol jk

Ok so I haven't really been a member of this site for too long but I think it's fair to say that this is the exact same reaction you had to the paradise snippets, right?
 
"Like an American, oh ooh oh oh oh oh ooh oh oooh, like an American"
 

 
"My pussy tastes like pepsi cola, my eyes are wide like cherry pies"
 

 
" I sing the body electric, I'm on fire sing that body electric"
 

 
"I was an angel, looking to get fucked hard... Fuck yeah, give it to me"
 

 
I don't know... Bel Air and Yayo are pretty flawless lyrically so I'll stop there. My point being the chorus usually sounds pretty dumb and repetitive on it's own, for any respectable singer. Maybe this won't change your mind but if you do hate uv in it's entirety well then, ok, see ya'!
 

 
But please, if you do dislike it, then just don't talk about it here, or at the very least constructive critisism only, I don't want each thread filled with ex-fans saying "ughh I hate Lana now, her lyrics aren't insightful and her production isn't "whimsical" enough"
 
That being said I will agree Lana has definitly made an odd evolution as an artist, most likely because she's listening to much to the critics and trying to impress them rather than her fans. If this era produces music you'd rather not listen to then I'd understand your dissapointment but it just seems selfish to try to bum the rest of us out when we're getting all hyped and trying to diminish our opinions by saying "no your wrong, this is shit"
 
M'kay? ... M'kay then.
 

So .. they actually recorded a lot more scenes, like the one in the room with the boys, her being  at the beach at night and her sitting around in the smoke while waring the red dress?
And then they just chose to make the West Coast Video to consist of a few beach and one million daddy-in-the-car scenes with a few "red dress"-parts?
 
Although I'm more into her darker tracks, I really like Brooklyn Baby, despite it being  a very sugary song as it seems. It fits the name of the song and seems to have a great atmosphere, And maybe the lyrics won't be so sugary in the full version, you know like she's the sweet brooklyn baby and then something really bad happens, while she continues to sing in this sweet-girly way. I would realyl like to see that happen.

Like with most of the other official Remices (except for example Dan Heath's Orchestral Remix) this one remixes the Radio Mix of the song, which has rerecorded vocals. "Mice check" is from the studio version though.

Though I would like to hear one ... You know, like 
.

Brooklyn Baby sounds like the love child of Summertime Sadness and Diet Mountain Dew.

No but really I'll sell my body for a HQ version of the pic of her laying in flowers smoking

I guess the moral is: "don't copy my tattoos"
 
 
 

I guess al songs mentioning a "Jimmy" are about a fictional character, who has his roots in a former lover of Lana. Most likely there is a lot she makes up, so the songs are interesting.
I think all the Jim-songs are indeed about the same Jimmy, bu well - it's kind of a fictional character she likes to use cause his "gangster"-style fits into the stories she wants to tell.

I don't think I am going to listen to this album until I have all of the bonus tracks all downloaded as well. It needs to be a complete listening experience!

Anyone else notice how the tracklists sort of coincide? This might be reaching, but...
 
1. Cruel World/ Born to Die
Great opening
 
2. Ultraviolence/ Off to the Races
My jam
 
3. Shades of Cool/ Blue Jeans
Amazinggg & haunting & feeeels!
 
4. Brooklyn Baby/ Video Games
Probably sweet, maybe iconic. But can get old sometimes
 
5. West Coast/ Diet Mtn Dew
What Lana calls fluff, or was unsure about.
 
6. Sad Girl/ National Anthem
I feel like this would be a good General Public song.
 
7. Pretty When You Cry/ Dark Paradise

8. Money Power Glory/ Radio
Good beats & for the radio.
 
9. FMWUTTT/ Carmen

10. Old Money/ Million Dollar Man

12. Black Beauty/ TIWMUG
Lana is unhappy about the production/ or leak of these songs.
 
13. Guns and Roses/ Without You
Could be a sweet & sad song
 
14. Florida Kilos/ Lolita
