Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd - Pre-Release Thread: OUT March 24th, 2023

[Bonita 11,781]

pretty sure the j is for jim

[the ocean 67,621]

i think the j is "jesus" since a. the interlude afterwards and b. she could be comparing mary (either the mom or mary magdalene) to the "american whore" and maybe even throwing herself in there comparing herself to both things

[Make me your Dream Life 83,220]

J is for georgia

[bluechemtrails 22,996]

I'm a little confused that A&W and AW&J are synonyms. If AW in AW&J is American Whore, why do we have A&W as American & Whore?

I think these might be names like Amy&Whitney or Amy, Whitney & J....

j is for china.palace

Maybe A&W abbreviation gives other deeper meanings to the song. We don’t know much about it expect for a line but for example if it’s about experience of being a woman or famous woman, it can also stand for Amy & Whitney etc.

didn’t he say it’s more like A&W&J

Maybe it is another famous woman who had a similar fate. Jayne Mansfield maybe?

[SummerDrummer 191]

When A&W stands for Amy and Whitney and she samples get free cause now she's reworked Malibu cause she's ready to share the personal lyrics>>>>

What about Judy Garland?

I feel that something will come soon. This week or maybe next week. 

[taco truck 28,775]

What is everyone's guesses on the sample? I really feel like it isn't something post-2019 because people wouldn't be surprised by it. My guess is something from AKA.

[Rico25 7,181]

She's going to sample Cinnamon Girl's outro, mark my words, your p-words aren't ready

He said it's an absolute fan favorite so it is something 2019 onwards - he didn't say we would be surprised by the sample; just that he wanted to keep the sample a surprise for us to hear given that he already spoiled so much

 

The only song from AKA that is an "absolute fan favorite" is Pawn Shop Blues, and that can't possibly be it because other people have writing credits on that song

Yes!! I knew there was another J name celebrity with an untimely death

[honeybadger 40,620]

can't wait for the sample to be "spin me round, kiss me in your chevrolet"

He said he was surprised, and I don't think it rules out something Lana wrote herself pre-2019. Though if it is 100% 2019 onwards my guess is Cinnamon Girl

[hotshot2am 17,969]

Yes, they said they were "shocked and surprised" upon hearing it for the first time

idk, I think him saying absolute fan favorite rules something pre-2019 out because most of the fan favorite unreleased tracks were written with Rick or other writers. The only people credited on that last track for songwriting are her and Jack, so that means it's either an unreleased track she wrote completely on her own (I mean, if there's an unreleased Lana track that is completely self written that is also a fan favorite that I'm missing, please tell me) or it's automatically NFR onwards 

[kraljicabenzinske 11,122]

Kintsugi: she sampled a fan favorite

 

yall: Brite Lites! ☺️

Kintsugi: no..an asbolute fan favorite

yall: Gramma🙈

Spoiler

“This is the experience of being an American Whore and Jesus.”

doesn’t make sense and if she’s continuing the line after &J, I don’t think BOZ would say the song should be titled AW&J, because surely he would just think it should be titled AW. 
 

The only way I think it works as AW&J is if the J is another descriptor or the end of a line. Like:

Spoiler

This is the experience of being an American Whore & Jezebel.

Unless the A&W is actually something other than American Whore but I’m going to assume that it is for now.
