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

[Theodore]

Here's my quick review of A&W:

 

This is a diary entry. And she's continuing to prove to the world just why she earned the title of being the best American songwriter. 

 

And the transition into Jimmy is like one of those moments where you're analyzing where you are in life, and it's kinda fucked. But you know what, fuck it. We're gonna go out and shake some ass. Bc at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter

I just can’t get over Part 1  good old psychedelic folk

okay can now certain users stop with their "she will never do sth like btd, she will never do trap/hip hop song, she wants to do ballads, its time for u to unstan" cuz she clearly wants, she clearly can and she clearly will just because u treating her like shes a 60yo retirement home patient doesnt mean she is. Maybe its time for YOU to unstan if u think so low of her

I didn't like it at first either. But after reading the lyrics, it added a bit of context as to WHY she would mumble the lines. They're confessional and dark. Topics that some might feel too self conscious to talk about. Being 33 years old and still having to sneak around bc guys would rather keep you as a secret than to be seen with you in public. The fact that women sometimes arent believed when they are victims of abuse (especially after the johnny depp trial)

That's detrimental to one's mental health, and she's whispering it bc it hurts enough to almost break her. 

 

My gosh, I really just wish the utmost happiness and love for her. "When's it gonna be my turn" hits much harder after hearing this track

"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 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

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

I hope the album sounds WAY MORE like the first part and way less like the second part (except for peppers )

one of the craziest comparisons I've ever made but Lana is kinda giving Kreayshawn / MIA vibes at 6:23~   

I hear this too, it’s the melody of Gucci Gucci and Bad Girls at some parts!

we still love you, one of our best members 

[Ultraviolencequeen]

I’m so glad she released Aw early as a single Because if that was just casually in the album I would have died at first listen and not have been able to absorb any other tracks 

I wonder I’d she’ll do one more single? She honestly doesn’t even need to at this point that song was godly and so is ocean Blvd I’m just shook by this woman. I’ve said this before but wow it’s actually embrassing to be other female artists rn…

and also, I’ve always been a jack stan and now I’m prouder to admit it in this group. Told you girlies!
