WC, SOC, UV, BB - your favorite single? [updated]

[Swan Song 289]

I went with West Coast. I like the other two, but I freaked out when West Coast was released.

[Nick 857]

Stan for it bb!

 

It's always the same thing that happens when people get to hear the live version first. See Body Electric...

 

I love Body Electric so much too. (Yes, even that dreaded studio version that everyone hates) 

[HONEYMOON 431]

I am really, really drawn toward West Coast the most just because of the experience that went along with hearing it for the first time. It was like 4am and I was on the beach listening to it on BBCR1. I remember just feeling very ethereal and almost having an out of body experience hearing the intro and the waves crash in the pitch black of night. It was one of my favorite moments of my lifetime, I felt very alive and very Lana-esque. Something about that song makes me melt, I think maybe it's the tempo changes and the sound effect during the last chorus.

That sounds beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

Tough one..

I have to pick Shades Of Cool, cause that one made me cry, cause I relate to it so much

After that I'd say Ultraviolence & West Coast

I don't know about the others who didn't like Ultraviolence, but that's not the reason for me at least. Out of everything she's released, Body Electric and Ultraviolence are my two least favorite songs, and that goes for the live versions too. They both somehow sound so unimaginative to me.

[Venice Jesus Whore 4,471]

West Coast. I remember I was amazed when I heard it the first time. The drums in it are so good and the chorus makes me feel high. I've never even been high before but that's what I expect it to be like. It's just so great. SOC is great too, I just like WC better. I just listened to Ultraviolence for the first time and I'm unsure. It's good but a little repetitive and I feel like it could be improved. Maybe I need to listen to it more to warm up to it, I'm just a little disappointed. 

 

Btw, I only listened to the live version once so in no way was I more used to the live version.

West Coast>Shades Of Cool>Ultraviolence

 

They're all good songs though.

[Wilde_child 490]

West Coast is my fave then Ultraviolence and Shades of Cool are tied in second.

[HausOfMark 85]

All 3. I cant decide!   

[YUNGATA 14,955]

tie between wc and uv for me~~

[lafleursauvage 324]

The experience of waking up at 5:00AM sharp JUST to hear West Coast for the first time was amazing for me. It felt like I was the only one awake at that time. I was alone, the sun wasn't even up yet, the air was so chill and beautiful. It was like being fully awake in a dream. And then I heard West Coast for the first time and tried so hard not to squeal. I fell in LOVE with the guitars and the way the beat accelerates and slows down in all the right moments. It's the experience that matters.

 

So 

West Coast > Ultraviolence > Shades of Cool 

[lavender-sunshine 79]

West Coast>Ultraviolence>Shades of Cool

 

SoC is arguably the best production, but I just don't dig the vibe of it like I do the other two.

Shades of Cool is the only one so far that's actually made me feel something.. it's such a stunning song

[neon palms sway 1,338]

Shades of Cool

[GangstaBoy 3,930]

People trying to drag Ultraviolence aka the strongest song from this era thus far...

 

LOL

 

It's a good song and it's okay if you love it but it's definitely not the strongest from this era thus far...

[Guest Dot]

LOL

 

It's a good song and it's okay if you love it but it's definitely not the strongest from this era thus far...

 

I suppose you voted for West Coast...

[GangstaBoy 3,930]

I suppose you voted for West Coast...

 

I voted for Shades Of Cool, I don't like WC that much...  only the chorus

[Arzi 1,982]

I don't know how I feel about Ultraviolence yet, I like it musically but it's seems lyrically wrong for me 

[HONEYMOON 431]

Same here. I think all three songs are brilliant but UV feels lyrically weak. I'm hoping it will grow on me.
