Masochism 15,400 Posted July 4, 2018 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" this is haunting af! it's sooo cool. sounds like a totally different song! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Say Yes to Heaven 27,435 Posted July 5, 2018 im pretty sure "lay me down tonight" is sampled from FMWUTTT He doesnt mean it's from HBTB, he was talking about a HBTB sample in 13B 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In any variation really, Dan Auerbach's, Rob Orton's, Dan Heath's, Rick Nowels's, every version SLAPS, what a song 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ivy 1,693 Posted August 5, 2019 I've been extremely obsessed with this song lately. It's so exceptionally well written if you think about it; it's full of verbs of motion (pushing, pulling, swinging, swaying) and sensory words which makes the song very vivid: you can easily picture what's going on. To me, this song seems to be about the struggle of alcohol abuse and abandoning the alcohol for something else. Down on the West Coast they got a sayin' "If you're not drinkin' then you're not playin'" But you've got the music, you've got the music in you Don't you? She doesn't have to drink, because she's got the music. Down on the West Coast I get this feeling like It all could happen that's why I'm leaving You for the music, you for the music, it's true It's true She's leaving the alcohol for the music. I push it hard, you pull away, I'm feeling hot and on fire I'm feelin' like there's no one else Who makes me higher than higher Te deseo, cariño, boy, it's you I desire Your love, your love, your love Vivid storytelling with the verbs of motion and description of her senses. There's a struggle going on. I think this is where she is literally pushing away the urge to drink and she's having withdrawal symptoms ("feeling hot to the touch"). Personifying the alcohol: "You say you'll miss me and I wanna say I miss you so much". (personification of alcohol is also present in Ultraviolence (song) --> "Jim (Beam) brought me back"). You pull me close, I push away I'm feelin' 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 and you say "Hush, baby, hush" Again, verbs of motion (pull, push) which indicate some sort of struggle and a description of how she's feeling "hot to the touch". These lyrics "Pull me close and you say 'hush, baby, hush'" give me goosebumps, honestly. I'm picturing someone who is trying to get her to do something (drink alcohol) and wants her to be surreptitious about it. As if that person is holding his index finger on his lips, saying "shh". I don't know how else to describe it, lol. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
13beachess 7,614 Posted February 13, 2020 I'm really starting to appreciate this song again. Haven't listened to West Coast this much as I have done the last three days since its release tbh. 0 Quote If I get a little prettier can I be your baby?

Pico Ocean Boulevard 41,023 Posted April 14, 2020 She did that!!!! That is what she did!! Happy Birthday, West Coast!! You are a fucking masterpiece! Can't believe that this bop is turning 6 years old... and this song is still not topped!! The tempo change....still iconic..she really did that!! 4 Quote "Swan Song. It’s on my album Honeymoon. It’s the antithesis of hopefulness. It’s about trying to find beauty in giving up. If I had my way, I would continue to persist in all areas of my life, but it can be quite challenging because I can be too trusting too soon." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BoardingSchool 2,916 Posted July 11, 2020 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 Since Pico is dead, does anyone have a new link with this part filtered so it's easier to hear? Honeymouns posted on IG that the "hidden" lyrics are: “And your rock and roll And your rock and roll Pop song of the summer boy (And your rock and roll) All the ways I want your loving boy (And your rock and roll) And your rock and roll” ...but I don't hear it. 0 Quote ‘Fucking God bless us all and let’s hope we make it through this.’ ~LDR, Flaunt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rorman Nockwell 56,493 Posted October 14, 2020 I don't think this has been discussed before, but @recklessdaughter and I were chatting ages ago and discussing how there are some similarities between Stevie Nicks' Edge of Seventeen and West Coast. One of the more obvious examples is that the "ooh, ooh, ooh" and "ooh baby ooh" parts (she starts singing @ approx 30 seconds) sounds very much like "move baby, move baby" in my extremely expert opinion. A possible nod to goddess Stevie? Anyway, when Reckless has time, she might be along with her insights because she pointed out lots of other interesting stuff. 8 Quote ur legit gonna look the same stop buying oil of Olay face cream Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, now do you've mentioned it I do spot some resemblances. Anyway, I'd totally kill for Lana to cover Landslide and maybe to throw some shapes a la Stevie too 2 Quote She's a gorgeous narcissist and she knows it.
