PatentLeatherDoOver 25,780 Posted November 29, 2022 Ultraviolence is possibly my favorite record sonically but probably my least favorite lyrically….. edit: I’m scared of posting this but it’s too late 6 Quote “…and this is all I looked for all my life – to be able to give of my love, my spontaneous joy, unreservedly, with no fear of…misuse, betrayal.” Sylvia Plath Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because UV is very heavy and sad and sort of chaotic and nowadays, I'm rarely in the mood for that, thankfully. 8 Quote Honey, you make me feel I'm invincible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't want to listen to her slow songs when I'm doing something that requires energy like doing chores, rushing somewhere or similar. I also avoid them when I'm feeling remotely sleepy because songs like Honeymoon can send me to an Italian town for 2 mins instead of keeping me awake. 4 Quote I'm fucking crazy, but I'm free Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamboy 1,574 Posted November 30, 2022 My unpopular opinion is that Million Dollar Man is absolutely one of her best songs ever and probably one of my favorites ever. It has aged like the most fine wine and it truly deserved to be a single and have a beautiful music video. It's a shame she doesn't sing it live anymore and the general public seems to never talk about it. Also I used to cry a lot listening to it when I was a freshman in high school. I fell deeply in love with a senior, but we never even were friends, it was just a platonic thing that consumed me for, like, 2 years lol. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
13beachess 7,614 Posted November 30, 2022 dont kill me for this but... I don't think Dealer is that good. It is good! But overrated imo. I do listen to it quite regularly tho The first time I listened to it I was actually.... underwhelmed. I thought, based on the way you guys described it that it would be like 20 times MORE screamy and angry (not like death metal kind of screamy but ya know), and when the song ended I thought "that was it?"💀 7 Quote If I get a little prettier can I be your baby?

Venice Peach 54,289 Posted November 30, 2022 Ride is the worst song from Paradise Like I love it when I listen to it and I rarely skip it but I never have the urge to play that one unless I put the whole album on... and I don't know why cause I truly enjoy it when it plays 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
