Lana Del Rey Covers Leonard Cohen's "Chelsea Hotel No. 2"

[PinUpCartoonBaby 1,017]

OMG! I'm almost crying! This is so wonderful!

  

[CatchTheBreeze 1,681]

This is pretty lovely! What a nice surprise to hear something new from Lana.

[Mariann 254]

I love surprises and this one is just perfect.  

[Harlem 1,941]

This is so beautiful, jesus

I love this woman so much

Point 1: A covers album is absolutely essential. Just no "Wonderwall" xoxo

Yes, please.

 

If this is what 2013 Lana Del Rey stripped back is like...by all means, bring on the next album.

I love her voice with subtler arrangements. I've always felt all the Emile Haynie sample bullshit distracted quite a bit from just how lovely her voice is.

 

Point 4: Where is evil to point to all the links to early show information about covering Leonard Cohen? She did that, right? Ooh, what if was this song?

Yes, Lizzy performed a cover at a Leonard Cohen tribute night at Mr. Dennehy's Underground on November 5, 2008. I contacted the person who organized it and he told me she did a solo cover of "Dance Me to the End of Love":

 

 

 

He gave the impression that was the only song she covered, but didn't explicitly say so, so I'll ask.

She's so perfect how is this possible     

[Demian 197]

I love it and I was really surprised by this choice for a new video. 

 

Speaking of covers, I made one from original 'Ride' cover and the other one that was later edited, but I think that this font and color fits better with the picture.

I love it. I wish she would give more details about Cola tho.

[DaytonaMeth 426]

I thought her cover was better than the original     oops, but its a really pretty song. 

[candybun 239]

[elliesioux 92]

stop it lana

[Trash Magic 26,816]

This is something so special. I really prefer songs like this, it reminds me a lot of Ten Dollar Ring and Goodbye Kiss cover. 

I wonder if she'll perform this on tour 

[Major Tom 29]

im dying!

need in my iSomething now

[Jord 3,477]

I love it so, so much. Wonderful and beautiful and amazing.

[NamiraWilhelm 5,031]

Oh my goodness, I don't know what to say. Absolutely beautiful. And though I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, I wonder what this was released for!!! Just a treat? A sign of something to come? Gatsby? What about the last few things to wrap up paradise i.e. DP and Cola! Maybe she just has major ants in her pants and wants to move on to the next project a$ap.

 

Srsly Lana, put this on the album

[liam 557]

This is so beautiful! I'd love to hear her perform this live! 

[Poison Ivy 1,588]

 Lana you perfect human being. This is so beautiful, can't stop listening to it   I was just thinking that I'd love some new songs leaked or not and here she is, 'stripped down' and stunning.

[sonicalana 254]

YES. this is my favorite type of lana song/cover, very stripped down, basic, slow like disco and pawn shop blues. if the next album is like this i will be ecstatic
