This sense of connection is especially pronounced on the single she released last night, “Coachella - Woodstock in My Mind.” It’s right there in the title: Del Rey narrates her synoptic vision of the two music festivals. How cultures in the present make sense of their past is the question at the heart of her work. I'd trade it all for a stairway to heaven ( a stairway, stairway to heaven) / I'd take my time for the climb up to the top of it ( a stairway) / I'd trade the fame and the fortune and the legend ( a stairway) / I'd give it all away if you give me just one day to ask him one question / I'd give it all away if you give me just one day to ask him one question / OutroĪ stairway, stairway to heaven / A stairway / Got a million things I wanna say / Like what's it all for? Will it be okay? / Million things I wanna say / Like what's it all for? / Stairway, stairway to heaven / Stairway / Stairway, stairway to heaven / Stairway / You can listen to “Coachella – Woodstock in My Mind” below.Lana Del Rey has always been drawn to history, and what interests her the most is how history is drawn. What about all these children and all their children's children / And why am I even wondering that today? / Maybe my contribution could be as small as hoping / That words could turn to birds and birds would send my thoughts your way / Chorus I was at Coachella, leaning on your shoulder / Watching your husband swing and shine / I'd say he was hella cool to win them over / Critics can be so mean sometimes / He was on his knees and I thought he was breaking 'em down / With his words and his voice divine / Doesn't take a genius to know what you've got going / And to not wanna lose it 'cause they lost their minds / Pre-Chorus 2

All in all, it’s the perfect song to set the mood for pre-summer. Plus, it alludes to the famous Led Zeppelin song “Stairway to Heaven” and flower hairbands. It touches on themes such as world peace and fame. It has a rhythmic, melancholic vibe, which, as we all know is characteristic of the singer.

Lana Del Rey released the track “Coachella – Woodstock in My Mind” on her 2017 album, Lust for Life, and we LOVE it. Whether you’re out in Indio right now enjoying California’s biggest music fiesta or you’re just daydreaming about your upcoming festival weekend in Chicago or San Francisco or Las Vegas, we’ve got a song for you. This year has already started with a bang (I mean, come on, we have the Walmart yodeling boy on the festival circuit), and we can’t wait to see what happens next. Break out your flower crowns, because Coachella is here! And music festival season has officially begun.
