Album Notes & Community Reviews

A cinematic, deeply atmospheric ballad from 'Ultraviolence', produced by Dan Auerbach. The track features dramatic, James Bond-esque string arrangements and a blistering, psychedelic guitar solo that cuts through the song's midsection. Lana Del Rey's soaring falsetto highlights the tragic, unfixable nature of the song's romantic subject.
