Lana Del Rey wants to ask God a question on her new track “Coachella-Woodstock In My Mind.”

I’m not gonna lie- I had complex feelings about spending the weekend dancing whilst watching tensions w North Korea mount. I find It’s a tightrope between being vigilantly observant of everything going on in the world and also having enough space and time to appreciate God’s good earth the way it was intended to be appreciated. On my way home I found myself compelled to visit an old favorite place of mine at the rim of the world highway where I took a moment to sit down by the sequoia grove and write a little song. I just wanted to share this in hopes that one individual’s hope and prayer for peace might contribute to the possibility of it in the long run. Hope everyone has a nice day, with love from California

The songstress uses the positivity she felt and “all the love she saw that night” at Coachella as inspiration for the new track, which reflects on attending the festival while poliical tensions mount worldwide. In the chorus to the dreamy ballad, Del Rey sings, “What about all these children?/ And what about all their parents?/ And what about all their crowns they wear in hair so long like mine?”

The track follows the release of “Love” and “Lust For Life” featuring The Weeknd. It’s unclear whether or not the track will be included on her upcoming Lust For Life album, which will also reportedly feature a collaboration with Fleetwood Mac frontwoman Stevie Nicks. Del Rey is also the cover star of ELLE UK‘s June issue, where she speaks about love, happiness, and of course, her new music.
