Very, VERY strong cover for a masterpiece of a song. Odell's got a strong voice, the arrangements are clever, and the choir is wonderful. The last minute is exhilarating.
@@tommasosilvestro Well, he sings it in his own key for one thing. There is no orchestra, just a keyboard, and he has a group of backing vocalists. That's his arrangement of a great song. Hope this answers your question.
I know they are old comments but same. For me the first one would be Strange by Pasty sang by Alex Turner. It's so beautiful, it gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it.
DAMN! The "Backup Singers" sounded more like a group of solo singers singing in a choir manner! The guy on the left was so in the zone with his rhythmic hand-movements along with the deep resonating voice you hear when they do the hum. Great stuff:D
really no offense Imelda but i didnt even know you existed aha..in the first i was more doing the suggestion for Kc shuaipi since its the perosn that did the post aha
Kinda wish they gave the backup singers credit in the description, they always do such a good job and they really helped the atmosphere for this song 😍
Yesterday I saw Dave's 'Born To Die' rap cover ... I was struck by the graceful, respectful intensity of the musicians and the chorus singers, and Dave's quiet somber delivery ... and so too with the backing chorus singers here ... graceful, respectful intensity behind this very sincere lead vocalist ... there is something in Elizabeth Grant's songwriting that draws out the purity of soul ... beautiful ...
Swinging in the backyard Pull up in your fast car Whistling my name Open up a beer And you say, "Get over here And play a video game." I'm in his favorite sun dress Watching me get undressed Take that body downtown I say, "You the bestest." Lean in for a big kiss Put his favorite perfume on Go play a video game It's you, it's you, it's all for you Everything I do I tell you all the time Heaven is a place on earth with you Tell me all the things you wanna do I heard that you like the bad girls Honey, is that true? It's better than I ever even knew They say that the world was built for two Only worth living if somebody is loving you Baby, now you do Singing in the old bars Swinging with the old stars Living for the fame Kissing in the blue dark Playing pool and wild darts Video games He holds me in his big arms Drunk and I am seeing stars This is all I think of Watching all our friends fall In and out of Old Paul's This is my idea of fun Playing video games It's you, it's you, it's all for you Everything I do I tell you all the time Heaven is a place on earth with you Tell me all the things you wanna do I heard that you like the bad girls Honey, is that true?

definitely going to check this dude out. His other Live lounge was incredible, he turned a Taylor swift pop song into something with feeling. This man is a creative with a lot of soul. I'm gonna check him out right now. I love when this happens!
only just came across this and damn, it made me cry. Having the male voice (and an incredible, emotional one at that) sing it instead makes me feel like my boyfriend could be saying these words to me. Damnit feels *wipes tears*
Odell sings with such passion & emotion.Video games is a very hard song to sing & i appreciate his effort.He has come a very long way since he released his first singer & has improved so quickly.Amazing cover & thumbs up
beautiful, truly - such a monumental challenge singing Lana music as it's so magically moulded to her voice but Tom has risen to the challenge spectacularly.
I really like this cover of the song (even though some people spotted some innovations in the song). Tom Odell made this song special through his perfect piano play and the emotional voice. Also, the choir sang along incredibly. I'm truly amazed by Tom's talent! Good luck in the future and I will see you soon (and of course hear) during the upcoming concert in one of the city in the UK! 😊
I just hear it yesterday and can't stop listening now! Tommy you're so perfect really you can make the song sound better, there's nobody like you YOU'RE SO SPECIAL LOVE YOU! Mexico wants you now. xx
I love Tom Odell. I love another love and heal and recognize his talent but sometimes can't get into his other songs. I wish some of his other songs had that slower powerful passion. This is along the lines of what I love about him and some of his songs. (Maybe its because I'm a dance teacher and I seek out certain songs?)
the backing vocals + tom's voice make the harmonies sound euphoric. mesmerizing is the only word that springs to mind. so much better, so much more emotion fueled than lana's version 2behonest.
tom odell has one of the most emotionally raw voices in the world. He could make 'call me maybe' beautiful
you should listen to Ben Howard's version of call me maybe...it's amazing
i know, i love that one!
Very, VERY strong cover for a masterpiece of a song. Odell's got a strong voice, the arrangements are clever, and the choir is wonderful. The last minute is exhilarating.
Erm sorry what arrangements? He just played the same chords on a keyboard?
@@tommasosilvestro Well, he sings it in his own key for one thing. There is no orchestra, just a keyboard, and he has a group of backing vocalists. That's his arrangement of a great song. Hope this answers your question.
THAT last minuteeeeeeeeee! Gosh.
how is this a masterpiece 💀
the background singers really made this special
Like a chorus of angels
would like a version with just them aswell as this😁
One of the best covers i have ever heard...
You should listen to Ben Howard's cover, it's amazing!
I have it's fantastic!!!
Stereophonics have a great one :)
you've got to listen to conan gray's
I know they are old comments but same. For me the first one would be Strange by Pasty sang by Alex Turner. It's so beautiful, it gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it.
Ok but mad respect for the backup singers anyone? Tom's awesome and all but they MAKE the song!!!
shut up
Tom..why are you so perfect?
this perfomance is amazing, the choir was a very wise choice it got a different touch
i would LOVE to hear lana and him doing a duett together it would be heaven...
Amén.
Its Ally They would not match up at all.
that's such a good idea!!!!
Agree
This is hauntingly beautiful.
cincincincin was that a reference?
He's singing it like it was his song all along
Melissa B. But it isn't. he should back off
@@Paul-zw7or Can't he make covers or...?
@@lobstermix idk why I was so miserable 2 years ago lol sorry
@@Paul-zw7or XD same. When I find old comments I'm like wtf was that me?
@@Paul-zw7or But I agree terrible cover and the guy dissapeared soon after.
his voice gives me a sad and lonely feeling
yes this is exactly what i feel
chiri transforming lots of emltions just right through your heart :(
Let's give it up for the under-appreciated backup singers everywhere.
I love Lana but this....this is so beautiful! Amazing voice!
For me I think it is like Lana's orginal version is to listen to while being sad and Tom's one is to cry to.
@@Weronika-ev4gpright
one of my favorite male singers singing one of my favorite female singer's song
It's a mix of two of my favorite artists mixed together. Beautiful
I didn't mean to say 'mix' twice..
the song was already depressing and tom makes it even more so, i love it
He is the king
his voice is just so great i could listen to it till the end of the world without stoping
his voice has been literally sent from heaven
This track makes me cry every time I hear it. I'm a 30 year old man for christ sake!
+ryan dodson Sure it is a very beautiful one :)
i also cry every damn time. thank god i am not the only on :D
ryan dodson hahahahahh I loved you
DAMN! The "Backup Singers" sounded more like a group of solo singers singing in a choir manner! The guy on the left was so in the zone with his rhythmic hand-movements along with the deep resonating voice you hear when they do the hum. Great stuff:D
Probaly one the best covers ever done ...its unreal.
can like... you and lana make a song together already? please.
You should listen to ben howards cover!!
+Faith Pelletier-king i dont like Bens cover.
well guess what, bitch? thats your opinion
Valeriane Wtf is wrong with you woman,why the hell am I bitch,?no need for name calling ...
really no offense Imelda but i didnt even know you existed aha..in the first i was more doing the suggestion for Kc shuaipi since its the perosn that did the post aha
Most natural authentic voice out there! Very talented gentleman.
His voice is amazing
Tom and backup singers are sounding fabulous..So in harmony and simultaneously. Wonderful!
His voice is so incredible!
Kinda wish they gave the backup singers credit in the description, they always do such a good job and they really helped the atmosphere for this song 😍
I‘ve never heard a cover by Tom that didn’t make me think: “This is the most beautiful song ever!“
And just when I thought Tom Odell couldn't get any better... I find a cover of my favorite song
Lana is and always will be the queen of this song but this cover is beautiful
Love the choir. Great performance!
Tom odell has one of those voices which doesn't need music to be simple magical
Yesterday I saw Dave's 'Born To Die' rap cover ... I was struck by the graceful, respectful intensity of the musicians and the chorus singers, and Dave's quiet somber delivery ... and so too with the backing chorus singers here ... graceful, respectful intensity behind this very sincere lead vocalist ... there is something in Elizabeth Grant's songwriting that draws out the purity of soul ... beautiful ...
Swinging in the backyard
Pull up in your fast car
Whistling my name
Open up a beer
And you say, "Get over here
And play a video game."
I'm in his favorite sun dress
Watching me get undressed
Take that body downtown
I say, "You the bestest."
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on
Go play a video game
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby, now you do
Singing in the old bars
Swinging with the old stars
Living for the fame
Kissing in the blue dark
Playing pool and wild darts
Video games
He holds me in his big arms
Drunk and I am seeing stars
This is all I think of
Watching all our friends fall
In and out of Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun
Playing video games
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby, now you do
Now you do
Now you do
Now you do
Now, now you do
Now you do
Now you do
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby, now you do
Now, Now you do
Now you do
Now you do
(Now you do)
Now, Now you do
Now you do
Now you do
gave me chills especially the haunting background vocals
Three years later : still one of the best covers I've heard. The build-up is amazing.
I wish BBC Radio 1 credited the other singers in this cover, they're incredible too.
How am I just discovering this???? My favourite artist covering my favourite artist!?!??!? This is beautiful Tom.
I rly liked this, especially the parts when he sings loudly, that voice
its so beautiful to see how they connect with music, they live for it
He gives to every song he covers the beauty it deserves. Real talented man
Amazeballstastic as usual.
He makes everything sound so special and meaningful
definitely going to check this dude out. His other Live lounge was incredible, he turned a Taylor swift pop song into something with feeling. This man is a creative with a lot of soul. I'm gonna check him out right now. I love when this happens!
+ghostie7790 thank you! He is so amazing! Gotta new album coming out in spring as well!
I can’t believe this!😭
Tom and Lana are both one of my favorite singers and inspirations💘⭐️; this sounds amazing in Tom’s voice.
Probably the best thing I've ever watched
This is so good, I literally didn't want it to end.
Everytime Tom Odell sings, you can pretty much see a montage of your life...
My love. His voice is just wow. I love this version
I love Lana but his voice... it's magical. The best cover I've ever heard!
one of the most moving covers i have ever heard in my life, if not most
love this, suits tom's voice so much, and those bv's are smashing it!!
If there was someone who can sing this song more sentimental than Lana Del Rey, it can be only Tom Odell!
one of the best cover that i've heard so far of my queen Lana. Well done Tom Odell 💝
It's unreal how much I love Tom Odell! This cover is amazing, his voice is actually beautiful tbh.
Tom Is my fav artist like Lana..I even got a tattoo "Heaven is a place on earth with you". Im crying in the sweetest pain! 💚
It makes me cry, I love him so much. So perfect!
Such an amazing cover and hats off to those backing singers...enchanting!
His voice is such a beauty.
this is amazing omg 😫 his voice is angelic. this puts my cover of video games to shame hahahahah
Is anyone else listening to all of his Live Lounges and covers waiting for his Live Lounge of "The Sound" tonight? 😍 The 1975 + Tom Odell
I need this cover on Spotify 🖤
only just came across this and damn, it made me cry. Having the male voice (and an incredible, emotional one at that) sing it instead makes me feel like my boyfriend could be saying these words to me. Damnit feels *wipes tears*
That was amazing. The backing vocals and harmonies truly made this song. Great cover!
Odell sings with such passion & emotion.Video games is a very hard song to sing & i appreciate his effort.He has come a very long way since he released his first singer & has improved so quickly.Amazing cover & thumbs up
beautiful, truly - such a monumental challenge singing Lana music as it's so magically moulded to her voice but Tom has risen to the challenge spectacularly.
This song fits perfect with his voice.
Loooooove him so much!!
I was going to say the same!
Hahaha :D

Lara Ozansoy

I'm not trying to be funny... Just back off
vocals on point.
OH MY GOD TOM
I GOT 50 MILLION GOOSEBUMPS FROM THIS
I really like this cover of the song (even though some people spotted some innovations in the song). Tom Odell made this song special through his perfect piano play and the emotional voice. Also, the choir sang along incredibly.
I'm truly amazed by Tom's talent! Good luck in the future and I will see you soon (and of course hear) during the upcoming concert in one of the city in the UK! 😊
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL IM CRYING
I just hear it yesterday and can't stop listening now! Tommy you're so perfect really you can make the song sound better, there's nobody like you YOU'RE SO SPECIAL LOVE YOU!
Mexico wants you now. xx
I love Lana Del Rey but this cover is just... so beautiful♡
This sounds so much like 'Another love' when he performed live for The voice UK, just look it up to get the shivers
best cover ever. I love that he sings one of the songs of my queen Lana❤
i was missing tom atm and this showed up in my feed. i love you so dearly.
So well put together. What a crescendo of lead and support vocals.
i am in love with his singing style!
Took me awhile to get into this kid's voice but god I just love it now. This is insanely great.
amazinggggggg, wow tom's voice, the backup singers, everything was brilliant and mesmerizing. so powerful
I love Lana , but Tom, you are amazing ! I love your songs ♡
Oh lord have mercy this is beautiful
Wow, este cover es otro nivel, me encanta incluso mas que la versión original llevo escuchándolo años y seguiré sin aburrirme de él❤️
Holy fuck this is magic.
I'm choked up.. This is so beautiful
I love Tom Odell. I love another love and heal and recognize his talent but sometimes can't get into his other songs. I wish some of his other songs had that slower powerful passion. This is along the lines of what I love about him and some of his songs. (Maybe its because I'm a dance teacher and I seek out certain songs?)
Just perfect like everything he does
From Chi to massive shows, awards and amazing sets in the live lounge what the hell!! So good :)
the backing vocals + tom's voice make the harmonies sound euphoric.
mesmerizing is the only word that springs to mind.
so much better, so much more emotion fueled than lana's version 2behonest.
Wish this was available on Spotify.. One of My favourite songs
Can I just say how perfect Tom is!
clearly the best live lounge of all lounges to date. Spellbinding.
Tom Odell and Paolo Nutini should collab. I reckon it'd be amazing.
Oh my gods YES
Lana Del Rey ❤
Tom Odell❤
❤️❤️
i actually cried listening to this, its so beautiful
I love his voice so much 😍
THE BACKGROUND SINGER AND TOM ODELL AND PAINSO I LOVE THIS
literally my favourite live lounge, this is incredible!
I actually haven't heard of him until now. Glad I did, he's really good and he made an already melancholic song to sound even better
Just wow.. I love his voice. This song on repeat!
