'Black Beauty' continues on with the underlying angst and conflict found in the rest of вЂUltraviolenceвЂ™, as LanaвЂ™s persona continues to love a man that simply doesnвЂ™t treat her with the respect and love she shows him. 'I paint the house black, my wedding dress black leather too, you have no room for light, love is lost in you.'Д«eginning with LanaвЂ™s velvet vocals backed by a piano, the chorus comes in heavily as nothing short of angelic comparable with (I can only imagine) the gates of heaven being merely opened. Written about loving a man who doesnвЂ™t appreciate any of lifeвЂ™s beauties, LanaвЂ™s persona is seemingly lost, continually trying to please him despite his lack of love for life and maybe even her.

One of LanaвЂ™s greatest hidden gems, 'Black Beauty' is a bonus track from 2014 album, вЂUltraviolenceвЂ™. 'I need you, I breathe you, I'll never leave you! They would rue the day I was alone without you.'ДЄlmost the polar opposite to tracks on later albums, Lana uses a rapping technique in front of a hip-hop beat and elongated strings, all while jumping from octave to octave with a frequented rising intonation. With the lyrics depicting a wild, obsessive romance, the track was written while Del Rey was in an exciting, yet chaotic relationship as she travelled between Los Angeles and Las Vegas and her love interest gambled. With references to NabokovвЂ™s Lolita ('light of my life, fire of my loins') as well as drugs, partying, romance, gambling, and even Las Vegas, the track expertly encapsulates the sleazy Americana vibe thatвЂ™s ever-so prominent throughout LanaвЂ™s extensive discography. (Sahar Ghadirian)ДЄ renowned femme fatale masterpiece, 'Off To The Races' is the perfect musical embodiment of 2012 Lana Del Rey. вЂVenice BitchвЂ™ has an addictive quality that makes even a 10 minute song feel too short. With reference to the albumвЂ™s title track, the song is glittered with incredible lines, one of the most intimate being 'if you werenвЂ™t mine / IвЂ™d be jealous of your love', echoed in the outro. Lana creates a soft-rock track that gives listeners the happy highlights of her relationship - coveted moments that she also craves to experience again. The singer signs off вЂbang bang, kiss kissвЂ™ as the melody is delicately drenched with the fuzzy shredding of the electric guitar. Released in 2018, the song is an early introduction into what would be LanaвЂ™s sixth studio album вЂNorman Fucking Rockwell!вЂ™ Beginning like a love letter, it is folky and warm, modestly transforming into a psychedelic masterpiece as we enter the final half of the song. ItвЂ™s wistful and glistens with the yearning of a timeless love song. Lana sings вЂLennon and Yoko we would play all day long / Isn't life crazy?вЂќ I said now that IвЂ™m singing with SeanвЂ™ and you canвЂ™t help but feel drawn into the story the two have created. The grabbing, self-referential bridge paints a pastoral picture of rose gardens and colour, what seemed like the pinnacle of love between the protagonists. The past is emphasised with the trackвЂ™s reference to a variety of classic songs such as вЂTiny DancerвЂ™, вЂTomorrow Never KnowsвЂ™ and вЂEveryday Is Like A SundayвЂ™. Together, the pair compliment each other with their elongated and ethereal harmonies that mark a time long gone. Recounting a crumbling and unrequited romance, the delicate acoustic backdrop is tinged with melancholy.
