Does anyone else think that Lana is talking about herself when she sings about someone’s mom calling in the Jimmy part of A&W? I was just looking at the lyrics again and I noticed she followed the “Your mom called, I told her, you're fuckin' up big time” line with “But I don't care, baby, I already lost my mind” line. In this line, she’s using the first person pronoun so does that mean she’s referring to herself? Is it Jimmy telling her that her mother called and he was telling her that Lana is fucking up, I’m assuming her life, reputation, maybe career? I mean it would make sense because she’s referencing her estranged relationship with her mother in the beginning. 

 

Also, does anyone remember that interview she did years ago when she was asked about her parents’ reactions to that line in Cola and she said her father thought it was funny while her mother was upset about it?

Now when I think about it makes sense especially since Jack calls her Jimmy and the line about calling her mother now makes a lot of sense. What if all these  years Jim was just her alter ego and the way to project her own relationship with herself

we already know she changed Paris, Texas name already two times… Imagine how many versions of this record there are in some hard drive 

[sjatib 5,174]

More a thought on her post-NFR stuff than about the new album itself, but as it comes from listening to A&W, gonna post it here anyway.

 

I remember not being (still on that train actually) a big fan of NFR due its production, composition and cohesiveness issues.

 

Nevertheless, listening to the multiple samples/motifs of it on COTCC (How to dissapear, The Greatest, Hope, etc.) felt great as it sounded like the music itself was being rethought and relaunched in new and matured formats.

 

Felt the same listening to the older stuff being present on A&W -particularly NFR title track, but overall the whole piano/guitar textures that were already displayed on FIILY and DBJAG and set to their best expression yet on this new song- and got to think maybe I'm gonna end up genuinely loving what NFR meant as a whole even if for what its motifs ended up enabling later.

Driving down Culver in the pouring rain
Palm trees that line Ballona Creek are swaying
Subdued and sumptuous, soft sand and salt sweet air
Could be an illusion to me, but I don't care

 

Margaret Whiting's on the radio, time after time
I'm living for today and tomorrow, in the sublime

 

Salted margherita rims, carefree, baby
Sand up in between my toes, someday we'll be
Going to Colorado Springs, like next week? Maybe.
Don't care what I'm doing next, so call me crazy
I don't care, I don't care (I don't care, I don't care)
I'm having a fun time, I'm living my best life
(I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care)

 

On the pacific, psychotropic art
Bringing back color to my guarded heart
Crystalline structures protecting it, so tender
I was once hurt by man, but healed by nature

I'm having a fun time, I'm living my best life
(I don't give a fuck, I'm fresh out of fucks)

 

You heard my baby's back in town now
You should come, come over
We'll be hanging around now
You should come, come over

 

Park your car up on the side of the street
Bring a towel to our little retreat
Later on we'll get something to eat 
Taco truck, not too far, it's my treat

 

Margaret Whiting's on the radio, time after time
I'm living for today and tomorrow, in the sublime
Margaret Whiting's on the radio, time after time
I'm glad that you're here with me
I'm glad that you're mine

 

If you weren't mine, baby, if you weren't mine
If you weren't mine, I'd be jealous of your love

nope, but I remember before the tracklist was revealed and we only had the PT acronym BOZ said “oh yeah I forgot she changed the title again”

After listening to A&W over and over since it came out I still can't get over how dark this song is. It's truly chilling.

 

Also this puts the title track on a whole different perspective and really makes me understand what Lana meant when she said this album had no room for colour. It's VERY black, grey and white. 
 

As a long time fan (a decade...) it still feels unreal that we're getting closer and closer to her family/personal history this many years in. For God's sake, the intro to this album is titled "The Grants". And as someone said earlier in this thread, it feels like while Chemtrails was mostly leftovers tracks, the clear standout from that album "White Dress" is very much telling of this new direction in songwriting Lana had been tapping into. With Blue Banisters, I think she was just beggining to see the full potential of this new style and a lot of the new songs on that record seem superficial to me.  

 

Now, with this new album it really feels like we're going DEEP. And it's dark as hell, man.

 

this literally describes my exact feelings about ocean blvd so far

is there any chance that "sweet" on the tracklist is that "sugary sweet" LFL outtake? I remember reading that it was finished but what if she finished it for this album?

No outtakes or reworked old songs on the album.
