FEATURE “Just a simple touch and it can set you free” is my favorite line from The Weeknd’s single, I Feel It Coming. It’s amazing how a stranger can make you feel emotions you haven’t felt for a long time. Nostalgic as it may seem, we always have our hesitations.

Stargirl Interlude is a filler track for The Weeknd’s album Starboy. Here, we can hear the featured artist, Lana Del Rey, as she tells her vision. Personally, the imagery in the song is more sensual than sexual. It is beautiful as it is complex. It drives a person mad.

The feelings, the wanting, the need to be with her lover. Because when you get to be in that moment, you never want it to stop.

But visions are tricky things. In the end, it can let you down because in reality, it is all the word means: a vision. It leaves us feeling lost and paranoid, but we always have to come through.

I just wanna see you shine ‘cause I know you are a Stargirl.
