    My head canon for A&W is that the first half is like the 'morning after' with a hangover, honestly reflecting on the mistakes she's made and the horrors she's endured, and then the second half is when the sun goes down and she's repeating the trauma-cycle by numbing the pain with substance abuse (hence the vocal effects fading out her voice when the 808 kicks in) as the upbeat electronic music drowns out her thoughts and replaces them with a dumb repetitive jingle.

     

    I have no basis for this, it just intuitive feels right and helps bind the two halves of the track into one cohesive work; there's the morning after comedown where the intrusive thoughts bleed in, and the numbing of these thoughts through sex/substance abuse and loud distracting music while she's in the club.

    We aren’t ready for The Grants, Patty gonna get buried in this one 

    I'm soooo curious what this track will sound like. Are we thinking a kind of MAC pop rock ballad? Or something closer to ocean blvd (seeing as it transitions straight into that track afterwards.) Also can't imagine how the lyrics "the grants" would work in a song without it sounding cringe but I know my girl can do it.

    inb4 the grants is about all the grants she's received in her youth to help fund her music

    Given that both insiders told us that the second half of the album is stronger than the first one and yet we’ve already been gagged by tracks 2 and 4, I think that we’re going to get a truly great record. :true:
     

    So many tracks have been highlighted by them: The Grants (full and gorgeous), Candy Necklace (massive), Kintsugi (best song of all-time according to our favourite insider), Fingertips (stunner), Paris, Texas (delicate highlight), Grandfather (BOZ’s favourite), Let The Light In (singled out by both insiders), Fishtail (the potential fan favourite of the album), Peppers (a slutty vibey bop apparently), Taco Truck (an outro for the books). Even Sweet is praised for its beautiful strings, Kintsugi thinks that Margaret is actually great, and BOZ adores the instrumentation on both interludes. :crying:
     

    This album is shaping up to be one of the most important works in Lana’s career.

    This was exciting to read. I must've missed when BoZ commented on the interludes, all I heard was something about them (or at least one of them) being a 5 minute low quality phone recording of a pastor yelling while muffled giggles can be heard over the top. I mean this sounds cool for an interlude but... 4.5minutes worth??? That's longer than most pop songs. Didn't think there was any instrumentation on it but glad to hear I'm wrong

    How is it humanly possible to be so excited about an album, I’ve never felt this way for a Lana album before:squidward:

    Every song sounds intriguing in its own way and unlike LFL the diverse sound doesn’t scare me at all. The title track and A&W are very different and yet they do sound like part of the same project. I genuinely believe that this will be her best work yet (sorry Honeymoon, my luv) and I am getting more convinced that it will top the critics’ ratings. 

     

     

    I think the fact they were all created in the same block of time, in the same headspace, means that even if the genre switches up, the overall tone will be consistent.

    what do people think The Grants will sound like?

     

    Also something clicked about ocean blv recently for me; when she says "when's it gonna be my turn", she's not saying "when are people going to let me have my turn" like most seem to think, but rather "when am I going to be forgotten like the tunnel?" implying that it's only a matter of time. Sorry if this is really obvious for everyone else but yeah I moved.

    there was a clip floating around twitter months ago with lyrics:

    Spoiler

    "because you put me through, a pain I never knew, push it down for you"

     

    Did anything come of that / did it turn out to be fake? no I'm not promoting leaks, I'd rather hear the full song when released in lossless audio, but I reeeeeally liked what I heard and hope it will actually be on the album

    the beginning of the song reminds me of a classic rock n roll song I can't pin point which one it is exactly, but it's SO her it's amazing. whatever it is she invented it now idc :trisha: 

    I'm getting Nirvana, and also a classic rock song I can't put my finger on... Also the whole thing feels very Trent Reznor
