Coachella - Woodstock In My Mind

[My Sparrow Blue 689]

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

It was woodstock in my mind

In the next morning / they put out the warning

Tensions were rising over country lines

I turned off the music / tried to sit and use it--All of the love I saw that night

Cause what about all these children?

And what about all their parents?

What about all their crowns they wear / and hair so long like mine

And what about all their wishes?

Wrapped up like garland roses

Around their little heads, I say a prayer for a third time

I'd trade it all for a stairway to heaven (A stairway) (A stairway)

I'd take my time for the climb up to the top of it

I'd trade the fame and the fortune and the legend (A stairway) (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

I was at Coachella / Leaning on your shoulder

Watching your husband swing and shine

I'd say it was hella / cool to win them over

Critics can be so mean sometimes

He was on his knees and / I thought he was breakin them down

With his words and his voice divine

Doesn't take a genius to know what you've got going

and to not want to lose it cause they've lost their minds

Cause 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

I'd trade it all for a stairway to heaven (A stairway) (A stairway)

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) (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

Na na na ( A stairway / A stairway to heaven)

Na na na na na na ( A stairway)

Got a million things I wanna say

We'll put some walls up, it'll be ok

We'll put some walls up

A stairway

A stairway to heaven

A stairway

A Stairway / A stairway to heaven

A Stairway

I can't believe Lana would namedrop Joan Baez as an inspiration for the album and then come up with these lyrics. And i can't believe she would namedrop The Shangri-Las and then release a song with production that sounds this cheap.

THIS IS THE INSTAGRAM A CAPELLA VIDEO. MY WEAVE IS GONE????

 

I NEED TO HEAR AN ACOUSTIC VERSION OF THIS.

[WaitForLife 5,236]

For me it sounds like "Stairway to hell"

[Starsx 1,849]

I can't believe that this song is a single. I thought that record companies picked the best songs from the album to release or at least decent ones. I don't understand what the strategy is. All I know is that Lana hasn't been the same music quality wise since Ultraviolence. I guess she really won't top her previous work.

 

Coachella - Woodstock In My Mind is a cringe title

Got a million things I wanna say
Like what's it all for, will it be ok?

Million things I wanna say
Like what's it all for?
A stairway

This song makes me want to grow my hair so long. I might actually legit do it

Glad she was praying for the mess at Coachella #lel

Lyrics are amazing, best from LDR5 yet imo. She literally sings that she is worried about her vintage kids, with their flower crowns, in the world that we're all living in at the very moment. She has seen the crowds of beautiful and happy people at Coachella and started to think what would happen with their future, families if the war suddenly started.

 

Got a million things I wanna say
We'll put some walls up, it'll be ok

 

These words, in my opinion mean that Lana herself, as many people on the world, has her own thoughts about certain things but is afraid to shout them out loud. The walls could be a metaphor of growing stronger in mind, not being afraid to speak up to make a difference. Maybe that's why she is posting so much stuff about protests and public marches.

 

:candy:

Don't mind me, just overthinking stuff..

Holy fucking shit these lyrics... love this legend

[Sugar Venom 9,658]

I mean the kids she's singing about I feel like are the Korean poor kiddos not her twink fans

Other than that I love the walls symbolism you came up with that's a brilliant interpretation

I understand the song might not be up to yall's expectations but I honestly wonder why some of you have to show it in such an overly aggresive way :/

[strange weather 1,953]

i love it. 

[Lucas B. 1,459]

Love the way she's talking about politics on the lyrics.

The queen's really afraid of the future and hopes the best for us. You guys should stop criticizing so much, stop all this hate.

[Sugar Venom 9,658]

i know lana said she likes to be really involved in the mixing which i appreciate so much the more i listen to it the more i notice little things in the production, it's definitely a grower but once you love you LOVE it i think it's absolutely wonderful, im so glad it turned out this way. the more you appreciate the song and lana and it just makes you feel so good, i'm so happy rn lol. it's perfect

[C0neyIslandKing 2,206]

I love the lyrics! She had a lovely time at Coachella and felt happy and loved and she wants us all to feel that way even though she knows that she and a lot of people around the world are scared of the future and the things going on in the world right now, such a beautiful sentiment! 

 

The line about her words become birds and the birds bringing her thoughts of loving and being loved to us is perhaps one of my favourite Lana lines tbh, it sounds beautiful and the meaning behind it is so cute! 

 

This song really continues what she said after Love was released? 'don't worry, all you need is love' 

[strange weather 1,953]

the ending is so magical
