West Coast

[Rayse 658]

We'll probably have two West Coast lyrics for the different versions because in the original she says I'm feeling hot to the touch in the first verse and in the summer one (thx @@Rebel) she says I'm feeling hot to the touch in the second verse and new lyrics are peppered throughout the 1:30 preview

[Rebel 3,177]

I noticed the missing verse too. Do we have the track lenght for this radio mix?

 

I can't really hear "you pull me close" on the original version released

 

It's 3:47, so I'm really confused about the missing verse.

[prostitutestare 142]

If you change They're to Their...

 

Down on the west coast, they love their movies,

Their golden dozen, rock and roll groupies

 

It also makes sense, grammatically (well... as close to grammatically correct as lyrics can get lol)

 

However, if you change it to:

 

Down on the west coast, they love their movies,

Their golden gods and rock and roll groupies

 

it also makes just as much sense. To be honest, I've sang along with the song both ways and when I sing "golden dozen" I hear her sing the hard D of Go"d"s and when I sing it "Golden Gods and" I hear her sing the Z sound of do"z"en. So I'm torn between lyrics atm.

 

 

**stumbles**

 

I hear you.

[getdrunk 410]

she clearly says

he's crazy and Cubano como yo, la la

and not 'my love'. You can see that in the video and also when she sings it live.

Lyrics for the alternate version/radio edit/what I call the "Summer Version" (correct me pls)

 

Down on the West Coast, they got a sayin'

If you're not drinkin, then you're not playing

But you got the music, you got the music in you, don't you?

 

Down on the West Coast, I get this feeling like

It all could happen like

That's why I'm leaving you for the music, you for the music

It's true, it's true

 

I push it hard, you pull it away

I'm feeling hot and on fire

I'm feeling like there's no one else that brings me higher and higher

Te deseo cariño

Boy, it's you I desire, your love, your love, your love

 

I can see my baby swinging, his Parliament's on fire and his hands are up

On the balcony and I'm singing, ooh baby, ooh baby, I'm in love
I can see my sweet boy swinging, he's crazy and Cubano como yo, la la
On the balcony and I'm saying, move baby, move baby, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love,

 

(I'm in love, I'm in love)

 

Down on the West Coast, they got their icons

Their silver starlets, their queens of Saigons

But you've got the music, you got the music in you, don't you?

 

You pull me close I push away

I'm feeling hot to the touch

You say you miss me and I wanna say I miss you so much

But something keeps me really quiet, I'm alive I'm a-lush

Pull me close, you say "Hush, baby hush"

 

I can see my baby swinging, his Parliament's on fire and his hands are up
On the balcony and I'm singing, ooh baby, ooh baby, I'm in love
I can see my sweet boy swinging, he's crazy and Cubano como yo, la la
On the balcony and I'm saying, move baby, move baby, I'm in love

 

I can see my baby swinging, his Parliament's on fire and his hands are up
On the balcony and I'm singing, ooh baby, ooh baby, I'm in love
I can see my sweet boy swinging, he's crazy and Cubano como yo, la la
On the balcony and I'm saying, move baby, move baby, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

I only heard the preview which is 1:31 in length, where did you hear the whole thing?

It's out, not officially but it's somehow out, we have a thread for it!

that's what I hear 

[YouCanBeTheBoss 71]

Agreed with @@getdrunk. I also hear "You say you'll miss me and I wanna say I'll miss you so much" and "Hold me close and you say 'Hush, baby hush'" (though I could be wrong).

[MotelHoney 306]

she clearly says

he's crazy and Cubano como yo, la la

and not 'my love'. You can see that in the video and also when she sings it live.

 

Yeah but what on earth does la la mean? Sometimes when she sings 'love' it sounds like la.

[Mind Melt 10,095]

I finally used Pandora for the first time in forever and the West Coast lyrics they have are ridiculously wrong (I'm sure someone else has said this already though)

[HEARTCORE 18,971]

I just realised; all the single covers, apart from WC, have been in black and white but the videos have been in colour, apart from WC, which is (mostly) black and white. How cohesive.

[smoledman 200]

One of my favorite LDR songs. I love the whole southern California feel of it. You almost think that Lana is some re-incarnated 1960s starlet who drowned in a swimming pool while smoking Parliaments.

[fork2 90]

I love this song. I wrote in the color synthesia or w/e thread about it and here's the feeling I get from it:

It's the middle of the night on a steamy hot Florida beach (YES I KNOW THIS IS CALLED WEST COAST, NOT EAST COAST, leave me alone) and then you stumble over the rocks and you get to a tropical forest. The dirt is cool beneath your feet. You smell cigarette smoke behind you and you see that gorgeous guy from the bar you were just at. You trip over your long dress and he laughs and helps you back up, you just start dancing randomly until the sunrise.

Yeah.

[Solar Fields 4,163]

I finally decided to look at the lyrics of this and wow I've been wrong for a while, but now I have a newfound love for this song

[Say Yes to Heaven 27,514]

Major thanks to Honeymouns for the acapella, but was able to filter the background vocals at the end of the song perfectly and found out Lana actually says "and your rock and roll". It's pitched way down at the beginning alongside "mic check (something "rock and roll")"

 

 

http://picosong.com/w9TM9

 

0:02 First pitched down "and your rock and roll"

0:19 "Mic check, rock and roll"

0:24 (?) Unsure. "And all the queens and rock and roll?"

0:26 Normal pitch "And your rock and roll"

 

[Say Yes to Heaven 27,514]

Ok hear me out, but was just discussing with a friend and it's not totally unimaginable that those background vocals are from the original song's bridge. They did completely rework the song and you can totally hear new lyrics in that, though its in the pitched down vocals.

 

"Pop song of the summer, boy

All the queens want your loving, boy" 

 

+ the "your rock and roll" vocals are totally random and made to not be heard so clear!!

where's the "pop song of the summer, boy" part?

[Amadeus 11,334]

what if they're from another scrapped song like "lay me down tonight" or the hbtb sample

[Say Yes to Heaven 27,514]

where's the "pop song of the summer, boy" part?

Probably not exact lyrics but here, I cropped the part.

 I know for sure it's Lana since you can hear the unpitched vocals in the reverb behind those pitched vocals.
