Summertime (The Gershwin Version)

[Elle 121,758]

(George Gershwin cover)

 

Summertime
& the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
& the cotton, the cotton is high

Oh, your daddy, he's rich
& your ma, she's good lookin'
So hush, little baby
Don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
You gonna spread your wings
& take, and take to the sky
Until that morning
Ain't nothing can harm you
With daddy and mammy standing by

Standing by
Standing by, little baby
Standing by

[WhiteHydrangea 4,216]

I love how she pronunces with daddy and mammy' she puts on a funny accent

her vocals are so perfect

[Three White Butterflies 27,484]

the way people slander this cover and it's actually beautiful. i love the way lana uses her voice in this and of course, it wouldn't be the same without those INCREDIBLE back up singers! 

[Super Movie 51,765]

I actually really like this cover. It's not my favorite one she's ever done, but I think she sounds great on it. And the video is so sweet

I think this is one of the weaker things she ever done, but glad we got a cute video. I just find her singing weirdly flat and corny and am confused as to why she didn’t use her gorgeous jazz vocals a la honeymoon & the other woman/the good life instead…

Tbh same, I don't get the hate. I mean, I'd get it if you don't necessarily love it, but hating on it?

Omg well to each their own, it’s one of my favs she’s ever done but I know a fair amount of ppl don’t care for it

The biggest turn off for me is how it opens. It's such an ugly start to a song. And then later in the song the vocals sound unpolished unlike the rest of the album.
