New 'Ultraviolence' Song Title: "Cruel World"

[Just Cherry 3,785]

It's a cruel, cruel world.

 

It really is.

The song sounds pretty dark.

[chloetheunicorn 86]

Oooh, I can't wait to hear it. 

[Platinum Greenwich 13,848]

That progression seems so familiar.

[Chris Cuomo 3,320]

Sounds v promising. It gives me Without You vibes for some reason...

[Maxwell 7]

This is an intro for the shows or a part of a song that will be on UV?

[HEARTCORE 18,971]

I hope it's not like "it's a cruel world because you left me waaaaaaah" bc that got really repetitive on BtD and I hope she has evolved from that

[JhnMabius 175]

what a voice

 

 

Also Blue Jeans is very similar to Wicked Game, very similar chord progression (I think it's the same but in a different key), same change of vocal registers between the chorus and the verses, they both have videos in black and white but Chris's is set in a beach while Lana's it's in a pool. She clearly is inspired by him which is a good thing because his music is so good.

[ilovetati 15,299]

It's called 'Wicked Game' NOT 'Wicked Games'.

I've been listening to that song for years and I still say Wicked Games, lol.

It's true, there are a lot of mashups on youtube with both songs, my fav being: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMe8ZrF_gH0

 

It's funny because I find myself listening to the BJ instrumental and singing WG instead or singing the WG chorus instead of BJ's. It fits quite well I find Especially if you think of the BJ lyrics being the girl's perspective and WG being the guy's.

[LittleFool 1,912]

That progression seems so familiar.

It reminded me of Knockin' On Heaven's Door

Wow, now I kind of get Lana's obsession with him. lolzzz

[NamiraWilhelm 5,049]

Wow, now I kind of get Lana's obsession with him. lolzzz

 

Just thought the same! Om nom nom

 

 

 

Also remember Lana got shit over Blue Jeans being so similar to Wicked Game? The video included.

[TrailerParkDarling 5,697]

I wish they were called 'Down in the West Coast' and 'It's a Cruel World' ...lol more lizzy-esque titles

[Trash Magic 28,423]

Cruel World was defo written after her SNL performance 

[rdp 1,241]

It reminded me of Knockin' On Heaven's Door

Yeah it basically sounds like a mix of Knockin' On Heaven's Door and Wicked Game... for now, but it's a 15 second snippet so let's not over-analyze it.

[Creyk 11,699]

This is all so exciting, yay!

This album is gonna be amazing!   

[Sitar 22,214]

I have a feeling most of the songs are going to be two words...not that it's that important, just an observation. The way Paradise was full of one-word songs.

 

West Coast

Cruel World

Living Legend?

Black Beauty

Kill Kill

Trans Am

 

And she'd shorten AFFA to "Angels Forever"
