Reminding us all of her until now latent spiritual side-spurred on no doubt by being a philosophy major at Fordham-Lana attempts a sort of folksy meets Christian country motif with her insistence, “I’d give it all away if you’d give me just one day to ask Him one question.” Yes, what if God was one of us? In spite of it coming across as a bit hokey, the thing to note about “Coachella-Woodstock In My Mind” is that it is the most overtly religious Del Rey has ever gotten with her work-just as, formerly, politics had never really been a topic she chose to broach. I find it’s a tight rope between being vigilantly observant of everything going on in the world and also having enough time to appreciate God’s good earth the way it was intended to be appreciated.” At the time, she commented, “I’m not gonna lie, I had complex feelings about spending the weekend dancing whilst watching tensions in North Korea mount. And yet, let’s be honest, there are far too many distinctions between the rich pussies that go to Coachella now versus the grimy, free-lovin’ hippies of Woodstock- more prone to fuck than Instagram. This is precisely why when she sings, “What about all these children and what about all their parents?” one wishes she might have put in as a parenthetical “that paid their way to this expensive ass music festival.” As for “their wishes wrapped up like garland roses,” well, those mostly consist of getting a job that lets them work remotely and a sexual partner that isn’t cushioning, as opposed to the civil and women’s rights that drove the desire for change on the part of many Woodstockians.īut LDR remains committed to her analogy of drawing parallels between now and then (at least political upheaval-wise) by adding, “Then the next mornin’ they put out the warnin’/Tensions were risin’ over country lines.” In case you’re not a devotee of Lana, this refers to the day she drove back from the festival and felt inclined to sing a freshly created a cappella song for her followers inspired by the fear in the air-prompted by Trumpio’s escalating contention with North Korea. But other than showing that she must have been smoking the good shit when she performed that weekend back in mid-April, it also reveals a certain faith in humanity that she’s been very candid about in her recent work (“Love” being the most akin in its regard for youths of America). This is the only true theory.“I was at Coachella leaning on your shoulder, watching your husband swing in time/I guess I was in it ‘cause baby for a minute I thought it was Woodstock in my mind.” So go the opening lyrics to Lana Del Rey’s latest politically-tinged single, “Coachella-Woodstock In My Mind” (which sounds faintly like an airport name). She's climbing the stairway to heaven (because the Galactic AC is tall) to "ask him one question", which is " How can the net amount of entropy of the universe be massively decreased?" This era is about reversing entropy to avoid the heat death of the universe.
"Doesn't take a genius to know what they've got going (universe not destroyed by entropy)Īnd not wanna lose it cause they lost their mind (trying to reverse entropy)" In Lana's new song, she was chilling at Coachella when she turned on the TV and saw a science channel special about the heat death of the universe, and she was like. There's a short story called The Last Question about this computer that can answer any question in the universe except one- whether or not entropy can be reversed to avoid the heat death of the universe. Guys okay so I have a theory as to what Coachella (I'm shortening it ok) is about.
