It doesn’t matter, this straight king right here loves it (peep the Lizzy Grant LP in the background)

I think that the Spotify playlists are updated on Fridays. Hopefully Wednesday and Thursday’s streams will be strong enough so that her team decide to push/promote the song even more on Friday. 

Iirc Ocean got playlisted the day after it was released.  On a Thursday .

 

😀 hopefully Benny is competent this time around with the promotion

cant believe it was jack who gave the us what mike dean thought he was giving 

[GeminiLanaFan 48,871]

After a day with A&W, here are my thoughts on it:

- I was first surprised how « quiet » the first part of the song was. I expected the production to be a bit bigger (probably VB tainting my expectations of it). But I could already hear it was a incredible track, with its transitions and many subtle production elements. The piano is simply haunting. We all are « I don’t want to play with you anymore » towards BB, at the moment, but we are probably loving A&w so much already because she gave us songs like TextBook and Black Bathing Suit, which are subtlety produced but are complex in their structure. 
- the title could have been American Whore but A&W also makes sense, with its Americana reference but also referencing the images we collectively have of hookers in diners, between johns. 
- the lyrics are dark AF. It’s really not doing wonders for my seasonal depression but I don’t really care haha. But it really is a gem in her discography. She is just an incredible singer songwriter. And we are digging deeper into the « angry, wordy lyrics » of the album with this one. 
- fave part: the echoey transition to Jimmy / shimmy coco puff (whatever it is), where she repeats « This is the experience of being an American whore »

Exactly! I find it a bit unfortunate that she met with Mike Dean while making BB; maybe for another project we would have had something that has more his signature than WFWF (again, not a bad song at all, but the best production of the song comes very late in the game and, well, it could have been produced by her LFL team). 

[bluechemtrails 26,509]

A&W is the extended version of "Getting high on my own in my Los Angeles home"

[Venice Peach 54,289]

My favorite listens to new Lana songs/albums are the morning after release and oh my god I'm floored.

Still can't believe how good this song is and I've realized I lowkey don't care about any album campaign/MVs/trailer etc cause the music is being soooo good that's all I care about  (even though I'd of course welcome any extra content with open arms ).

 

If the other songs are as half as good as the two singles we got this is going straight to the top of Lana albums

heres the whole

Spoiler

"Mom called
She was screaming as usual"
I was born into a world of
broken dreams
Where the price for a better life
can't be redeemed
I've been searching for a way
out of this broken place
But I feel like I'm stuck living in
the space between
This is the experience of being
an American Whore
It's a life that I never even really
asked for
It's a blessing, it's a curse, it's a
life that I can't afford
This is the experience of being
an American Whore
It's a life that I never even really
asked for
I'm just trying to make it out
alive
I'm just staying alive, much less
trying to thrive
I've been walking through the
darkness, searching for a light
But it feels like I'm going
nowhere in my fight
I'm trying to make my way in a
world that doesn't care
But I can't seem to find the
strength to make it there
This is the experience of being
an American Whore
It's a life that I never even really
asked for
It's a blessing, it's a curse, it's a
life that I can't afford
This is the experience of being
an American Whore
It's a life that I never even really
asked for
I'm just trying to make it out
alive
I'm just staying alive, much less
trying to thrive
I can hear them talking, the
whispers in the press
Shaking my ass off and showing
off my chest
To them I'm a body, to me I'm
soul
Making them mad by, quote,
getting out of control
I'm just trying to make it out
alive
But I haven't seen my mother in
a really long time
Could really use a wise woman
to help me with my mess
I'm just trying to make it out
alive
How'd my mother make it out of
her prime?
I'm just trying to make it out
alive, out alive, out alive
Just trying to make it out alive
Time to kick it in overdrive
Psychedelic trip, half moon bay
For Jim I'll stay, for him I'll stay
Sitting on his lap, building up
my reputation
Getting ready for the culture's
condemnation
Sing about the abuse, the
glamor
Think it's time that I drop the
hammer
This is the experience of being
an American Whore
It's a life that | never even really
asked for
It's a blessing, it's a curse, it's a
life that I can't afford
This is the experience of being
an American Whore
It's a life that I never even really
asked for
I'm just trying to make it out
alive
I'm just staying alive, much less
trying to thrive
Just trying to make it out alive
Time to kick it in overdrive
Psychedelic trip, half moon bay
For Jim I'll stay, for him I'll stay
For Jim I'll stay, he makes me
stay
He makes me sway, for Jim, I
sway
Psychedelic trip, half moon bay
For Jim I'll stay, for him I'll stay

tbh i wouldnt be surprised if its a l*aked lyrics..

Kinda legendary that those made up lyrics someone uploaded to Musixmatch last week have made it to all these platforms.

are some fake lyrics that some idiot posted on Musixmatch (Spotify's linked platform for song lyrics) before the track was released.

we must report it to be removed.

as far as I know they come from musixmatch, but seems to be corrected now:

https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/Lana-Del-Rey/A-W

so with the next update they should be also correct in spotify

[sadness is a butterfly 5,795]

This guy does some pretty good guitar covers of Lana music, he did A&W already yesterday.
