    OK, mischievous tweets from "Dad" with false release dates aside (hey they made me giggle with all the fuss that ones caused)...

    Its got to be very, very, very soon now hasn't it? I would say smart money is on her playing it at the concert on the 11th and then the full video released afterwards, but this is Lana. As I said on my first post on this thread ANYTHING can happen. Hell its probably been released as I've written this.

    Either way I reckon the web will be buckling under the strain of Lana fans checking to see if the videos on You-Tube yet!

    And that poster for the album looks fantastic. I'm presuming that's what the album cover will be and I love it. The black and white photo of her face shining out of the darkness just has an earnest, confessional look about the image whilst still looking femme fatale badass smoking on that cigarette. Just the perfect way of saying I'm back and now I'm singing the next part of my story.

    Er no, it would appear no fresh release rumours or fresh instances of Lana's dad dropping red hearings on Twitter.

    So yes Friday concert it is then. Bet the fans are going to be screaming for that song now, screaming for it.

    She'll debut it at the festival, then it will likely be available on iTunes a day or two afterwards

    eurghhh, I can't believe people would actually go to the bother of photoshopping false information together about the release date:(

    Ah no it wasn't a photoshop, the first link rbautz posted was indeed real Lana twitter approved info. If you tuned in today on Radio 1 (as I did constantly sneaking away from work, heheh) I discovered that Fearne was off work for some reason and they had another DJ covering for her. So I would presume this seems to have caused them to abort the plan to play it and therefore delay it till Monday.

    This news item gives the details:
    http://www.gigwise.com/news/90118/lana-del-reys-west-coast-to-be-premiered-on-radio-1-on-monday

    If you hadn't have already guessed my initial reaction to this was:
    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO:cry::cry::cry:!!!!

    Indeed I almost wanted to collapse and like Lana does in her Tropico video pray words along the lines of "Dear Lana forgive me my sins, dear Lana forgive me my sins, please play West Coast a.s.a.p..."

    However, when I was feeling a bit more rational (always a good way to be) I realised:
    1: As we've been expecting all along who's to say it wont still get played live version style with her wonderful stage band at the gigs she's playing over the weekend? And
    2: If it gets played and (possibly) officially released to buy on itunes the same day wont that be way, way better for its chances of actually charting and guaranteeing further airplay? Makes more sense surely.

    So you know, maybe its all good its turned out that way in the end;-)?

    I'm excited for this album beyond words. I am a HUGE fan of Lana. I can't wait to hear West Coast, and see the video.

    Lana sang two verses of West Coast in Vegas

    http://instagram.com/p/mrU_ttQwNX/

    down on the west coast
    they got a sayin'
    if your not drinkin'
    then your not playin'

    but you've got the music
    you've got the music in you
    don't you?
    Down on the west coast
    I get this feeling that
    It won't be like that
    That's why I'm leaving you for the moment
    You for the moment
    Boy you, yeah you

    Wonderful acapella goodness! Oh my god even from just that snippet West Coast sounds that it will smoking red hot level good:o! Honestly not just saying that as a fan, its got something special about it has this one.

    Thank-you Lana for answering our prayers and finding a cunning way of pleasing fans and presumably still honouring contractual agreements with certain radio stations about them playing the whole thing first:).

    The Countdown

    http://lanadelreynews.com/simplebyte/index_1.html




    This time I sense an even more anticipation for her in the US than in Europe bar the UK.

    Now you know Lana's made it when she gets a countdown. Not so long now...

    Wonder if we might get another snippet of the tune at Coachella today? She's on at 8:15-9:05pm according to their set times list:

    Also: Think you're right about the US being totally fired up for this album. There's a feeling of Lana's coming home with this record.

    Fearne said that she'll play it again after midday. I'll need to hear it again before I can make a judgement on it tbh.

    Lyrics

    West Coast
    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?

    Down on the West Coast I get this feeling like
    It all could happen that's why im leaving
    you for the moment
    you for the moment boy blue, yeah you

    You fought hard (???) I'm feeling hot to the touch
    You say you'll miss me alot I say i'll miss you so much
    Something keeps me really high I'm alive, I'm alush
    your love, your love, your love

    [Chorus 1]
    I can see my baby swinging
    His Parliaments on fire and his hands are up
    On the balcony and I'm singing
    Ooh baby, Ooh baby, I'm in love

    [Chorus 2]
    I can see my sweet boy swayin'
    He's crazy (something in french?)
    On the balcony and I'm saying
    Move baby, move baby, I'm in love

    I'm in love, I'm in love

    Down on the West Coast, they got their icons
    Their silver starlights, their Queens of Saigon
    But you've got the music
    you've got the music in you, don't you?

    Down on the West Coast they love their movies
    Their golden dozen, Rock n' Roll groupies
    But you've got the music
    you've got the music in you, don't you?

    You push it hard I pull away, I'm feeling hot and on fire
    I guess no one ever really made me feel that much higher
    They say you got it all, boy it's you I desire
    Your love, your love, your love

    [Chorus 1] (x2)

    [Chorus 2] (x2)
