A conflicted Lana del Ray wrote your new post-Coachella anthem for Trump's America
When you're busy convincing witches to cast a spell on Donald Trump while also completing a new album, it's safe to say you might need a little vacation at some point.
Lana del Rey found herself in Coachella last weekend for the first round of the festival, dancing along with the rest of the world. But while frolicking in the desert seems like a great way to unwind, Lana apparently had a lot on her mind—enough to cause her to stop her travels to write a new tune and share it with us all.
"I'm not gonna lie—I had complex feelings about spending the weekend dancing whilst watching tensions w[ith] North Korea mount," Lana wrote on Instagram.
"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," she continued. "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'd trade it all for a stairway to heaven," she sings in the short video. "I'd give it all away if you give me just one day to answer one question."
Despite the super brief song, Lana had high goals in sharing the clip.
"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," she said.
Who knows if the song will make the cut for her forthcoming album Lust for Life, all we can do is say one thing: Amen.
