Lana Del Rey - Chelsea Hotel No 2 (Lyrics)
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
You were talking so brave and so sweet
Giving me head on the unmade bed
While the limousines wait in the street
But those were the reasons and that was New York
We were running for the money and the flesh
And that was called love for the workers in song
Probably still is for those of them left
Ah, but you got away, didn't you baby?
You just turned your back on the crowd
You got away, I never once heard you say
I need you, I don't need you
I need you, I don't need you
And all of that jiving around
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
You were famous, your heart was a legend
You told me again you preferred handsome men
But for me you would make an exception
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty
You fixed yourself, you said, "Well, never mind
We are ugly, but we have the music."
Ah, but you got away, didn't you baby?
You just turned your back on the crowd
And you got away, I never once heard you say
I need you, I don't need you
I need you, I don't need you
And all of that jiving around
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
I can't keep track of each fallen robin
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
That's all, I don't even think of you that often - เพลง

We are ugly but we have the music
ozifest123 It's a lyric from this song lol
Wow, I read this in the exact same moment she was singing it ._.
Anyway, love that line
nono, this is perfect singing, the ideal song for Lana, no-one could do this better!
Rudolf Weiler except leonard cohen who fucking wrote it
... but couldn't sing it so well!
This masterpiece was released 9 years and it’s still not on spotify.
Came here 'cause I couldn't find it on spoty :(
IKR!!! 😢
Probably because the original Leonard Cohen version is already there and isn't a cover by a racist, white supremacist.
Fr
Yep 🥲
i was suicidal once like alone in a bathroom ready to go. This song was on repeat, smoehting about this melody made me pull out of. I am a drifter not some hotel trash. Some distant memory, i am a story teller. I spread love. Its about the moments we make. This song in particular struck a cord, is very important to me. I can sing/play both versions. I really think without this on repeat in the shower i dunno. I was scary. thank you for being Lana. We need you now more then ever. I would love this on vinyl. I wanna spin it now.
Thank God you’re still here. Your story touched me
I’m glad you’re still here 💓
Morras mecas
Lots of love over you 😜
Music can save a soul ❤️
The one word to describe her music: home. It’s home to me.
In this case, the song is Leonard Cohen's, and she handles it very well.
Same.
she’s home
It’s so comfortable
Lana del rey apartment🤍
For me this is Lana at her best. No remixes, no big instrumental, no big backgrownd voices and choirs...just her. So simple and beautiful. Her, her voice, a microphone, a guitar and those sad eyes. I'm a huge fan of Leonard Cohen and I could feel every word of this cover. This is beautiful. I'd love her to release more songs like this, like Yayo...just her voice. Her unique voice. So simple, so beautiful.
Abs
I couldn't have said it better
PalmurcioWorld I agree. And this reminds me so much of her May Jailer days. I wish she would officially release this and her old, simple, music for sale!
PalmurcioWorld I loved you comment!
***** I've just did it and I really liked it. I didn't know about that song, thank you very much! Lana has a very special and personal voice, that's the kind of songs I like of her, where I can hear her.
"we're ugly but we have music" sum up my whole life
you know it gurl😂😂
Leonard Cohen wrote it about Janis Joplin
"we're ugly but most of our family was killed by the Americans in WW2" sum up my life
Thalassa Fischer he just called her ugly oh well.
Janis Joplin said it. She was a plain woman. But beautiful. I don't know, I think she was fine but she wasn't Hollywood.
“that’s all, I don’t think of you that often” like if you felt that
Same! Thought it was just me lol
thom roe that line always hits me
That shit was like the thorn of a rose
I don’t think he meant it, his syllable count was off in that particular verse. He (Lenord Cohen) was (and still is) a master songwriter. I think he put that little bit extra in on purpose. The way we tell ourselves lost loves don’t haunt us. Or maybe he did mean it, but it’s hard to imagine such a heart-felt songwriter didn’t have big feelings about such a true and beautiful soul.
It touched all my vital organs.
"I don't even think of you... that often" - I didn't know this sentence could touch so deep in my heart and mean so much to me.
True... Leonard Cohen was a true genius... RIP
we are ugly, but we have Lana's music
ugly faces good tastes
Amen🤣
@@sonyafarida2283 EXACTLY🤣
hahaha... yes
@@WaboMotiki lmao
Lana's lower, more melancholic vocals trigger an instinctive reaction of sadness in me. It doesn't even matter what words she's singing. The soul is all in her voice.
That’s exactly why I love her. The soul is there.
same , moonstone, same
me too it’s so dark
Pawn shop blues😢
Exact same thing with me.
been a leonard cohen fan longer than lana's been alive, i can't even begin to tell you how perfect this cover is. hits the mark.
Couldn't have put it better myself. Succinct !!!
Ditto... been listening for decades but this joins Rufus Wainwrights cover of Hallelujah as the best of the best...
Lana is for sure one the artists that gonna be remembered forever.
This song makes me feel better about being ugly
Barry Celtic we don’t have “the music” but at least we have people like Lana who do lol
LMAO!
I hope you’re joking tho...
You’re not ugly. I can take you out on a date if you want and prove to you that nobody is ugly, people can love a brain better than a body.
But you ain't ugly 🤔🤔
You're beautiful
smh my head you are a good person
she looks so beautiful from 00:00 to 03:39
OMG
ikrrr
omg sammee
i love ur name it gives me life like this song an her
i'm starting to find you again
the amount of times i’ve cried to this song has to be unhealthy
same sister
SAME GIRL, SAME ❤️
saaaaame
Yuht.
Same here😢😢
I’m so glad I listened to Lana Del Rey constantly at 15
Lana pick the right song. Leonard must be happy up there.
Agun Wiriadisasra rip🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿☮☮☮
Agun Wiriadisasra he was alive when this was released
Agun Wiriadisasra I hope so
he can still be happy
Who is Leonard?????
the ending is as abrupt as the endings of the essays i write at 3 in the morning due that same day
OH, THE ACCURACY
+Natassja Casillas let me love this comment.
ahaha TRUE
+Natassja Casillas
Actually doing so as I type.... lol
+Natassja Casillas Looool litterally this was so perfectly timed. Currently trying to finish up my own, it's around midnight here and I'm becoming more blunt by the minute
Leonard Cohen being sung by a woman with the beauty spoken about in his work is a pure bliss. The man, I consider the epitome of genuine masculinity, his words coming out of the mouth of the woman with the suave voice that will forever make me feel ageless in all the right places, its golden. I wish Lana would sing more of his songs. I wonder if there's more out there.
I wish she would too. Such an incredible cover.
you worded this so perfectly
Are you Brazilian?
Leonard Cohen wrote this song about Janis Joplin.
Really? :,) damn that’s sweet I hope that’s true
Right.. and Lana sung this song for Amy Winehouse 💔
@@warioinpersona wait... really?
@@warioinpersona I hope not
Leonard Cohen....fantastico
When she sang this last night in Charlotte I cried... She sounded like an angel.
I was there too! She sounded perfect
Dude i was there too! Damn, small world. This was truly amazing
I was there! it was perfect!!!!
Rami Kuseybi I wanted to cry at that concert :') she was ethereal
Rami Kuseybi i was there too!!!!!!!!!! omfg it was amazing
For three years I have avoided this song for unknown reasons and this is the first time I am listening to it. Why have I chosen to deprive myself of such beauty for so long?
Omg, same! I did cause I always cried when hearing this. But I should've know that the problem wasn't the song, but myself lol So beautiful! God.
So, so relatable .
Omg same I didnt hear it till now
Mackenzie Smith yessss
I did the same thing😂
“For the ones like us oppressed by the figures of beauty”
“I need you, I don’t need you” I don’t know why I love this part so much. She’s so talented 😭
Right
This is so beautiful, this, Pawn Shop Blues, Blue Velvet, the original version of Yayo, Black Beauty and Old Money will always be my favorites - they haunt me, and they define an era of my life that was memorable, to say the least. Oh, and the entire May Jailer album.
I love how every May Jailer song has the same notes and style but different lyrics, it's exactly what I needed.
When you say the original Yayo, do you mean the A.K.A Lizzy grant version or may jailers?
What do you mean by original version
*That moment when someone doesn't mention Leonard Cohen as the original songwriter and singer*
Adolphe Meuporg Oh I know he's the original! And he's amazing, of course. c: I was just saying I appreciate Lana's version too.
This is my favorite cover in the entire world
ITS A COVER! I thought she wrote it omg
It is indeed ! I love it too , waaw
fu Cake you should hear goodbye kiss it's covered by her
Anyone in 2024?
FS
yeah
One thing I love about Lana was she's comfortable covering a man song even though some lyrics are obviously for male singer, she never changes a thing to fit the lyrics to her gender.
Frog Prince. I'm with you here. Not surprisingly Lana has a sixth sense in how she operates. Try finding Stevie Nicks singing crashing into you. Explicit male song yet she did it anyway. Happy days!
@@seanbryant-smith5662 thank you for mentioning that song, I just listened to it and I love it at first listen. Thank you
@@frog_prince3505 Great stuff ! U took the time & found something new. Don't stop exploring. It's addictive for me since I started taking the time . Good times roll.
You mean 'sex'
The way Lana pronounces the word "baby" in her songs is probably the most important reason I love her...
I thought I was the only one. totally slays me
This is the type of song that you turn your music up loud, lay down and watch the blue, starry sky to while thinking about everything that matters and begin to shed that one unexpected tear and realize how far you've come and slowly close your eyes..starts to drift into the mind..
Wow this is deep I want to cry now
Thts what i was doing before i saw this comment :,(
00AssassinOfkings000 sorry to hear that
Yesss same like you could almost just drift away into sleep and forget about everything...
this is a truly beautiful description of Lana's music.
I think Lana is the only artist I listen to who can’t make a bad song. Like I can listen to anything she sings cause her voice is so soothing and calms me and I love her lyrics and the spin she puts on covers.
Right! Like she can fart on a microphone and I’ll still listen 2 it.
It's originally written and sung by cohen...
@@pranjal6593read the end of the comment again, they know its a cover
@@pranjal6593 Ok illiterate
who's here during coronavirus? everyone stay safe
♥️
💚🖤
❤️
WinterClover out here crying in the club lmao
By the club I mean my room
I still can't believe this is a cover! Lana owned it like it was her very own story.
I actually thought she wrote it OMG
Smh
a cover from who?
+eli ps this song is originally by Leonard Cohen. It was written for Janis Joplin
thank you!!
RIP Leonard Cohen :(
th-cam.com/video/vtJ90Uvdxh8/w-d-xo.html
you've got to be kidding me now wtf
He did the original version of this. RIP :(
You He wrote the bloody thing! Plus many other amazing songs.
ohmygod you're right yes! thank you for correcting me so nicely, i should've been gentler about it.
It’s 2069 and you’re binge watching Lana del rey’s videos after her passing. You realized how good life was for you and feel thankful you were alive at the same time as her. Life is good.
No no I refuse her death 💖
if anyone is immortal it's her
I do NOT claim the negative energy from this comment. How DARE you bring the idea of death and Lana into the same sentence!?!? Lana FOREVER!!!
so sad that 4/20 2069 is her death day :(
no cause god is inmortal
Her beauty is unreal.
@HSHSBHSSHSHHSHSHHSHS Who TF doesn't?
This song, a cigarette and a cup of coffee.
Yes
Whenever I feel down I find myself at the local park with a can of beers, a pack of ciggaretes, and music that reminds me of how my childhood and teen life was. I'm not addicted to drugs but sometimes you just gotta learn to let go of the things that are holding you down.
and shortness of breath
This song, a cigar and a glass of malt.
Beer and smokes.
This song is genuinely just so sad. Its about feeling something more after something seen as a one night stand, but there was a sophistication and mystery behind it. That’s why the ending is so abrupt. Its like when Leonard wrote it, he had to end it there before crying.
Also it was written about janis joplin
The song is actually about Janis Joplin 😁
It isnt really about feeling something more though? The last line is literally “I dont even think of you that often”.
@@memememe9543 well, he was speaking about a place in time. you can go by maybe not thinking of someone every day or all the time, but when thinking of that time or place, they are the brightest star in that flash of memory and it’s extremely intense. but at the same time, following the other lyrics, it almost sounds like it was an ironic line. like “oh, i love you, but don’t worry i give up, don’t feel bad about walking away” . either way it’s powerful (imo)
its kind of ironic, isnt it? @@memememe9543
Any nostalgic souls listening in 2020?
Present.
btch I'm here
Just a few days left..then our Queen will own 2021 💜💕💕💕
Wait til you get old enough that something 7 years old isn't nostalgic because it feels like last year 🙃
in 2021 too :')
This song is the pure definition of melancholy
could you tell me which album it belongs to or if it's a single song Thank you
@@Mrakra.j80 it's a cover and it's single
@@inesmell31 - OK
in the middle of the night watching this video in a dark room with headfones on.... guys I'm experiencing heavens!!!!
I'm doing the same. 😊
Same
It's always the best way to enjoy good music!
literally me rn... couldn't be happier
Definitely you were! I'm having this same feeling at this moment. Heaven really exists! ;-}
Lana Del Rey is undoubtedly the most important musician in the mainstream music scene right now. She is teaching the masses to appreciate true music. And for that I have infinite respect for her.
yeah
+Luca Pelo the only mainstream voice I really love , and I listen to megadeth , metallica and that kind of stuff , that dont have nothing to do with lana , but she is trully awesome
Pedro Stock

She'd be even more respectable if she credited the person this song actually belongs to instead of letting most of her followers believe that it's hers. But it's whatever.
this song not being on spotify is my villain origin story
insane how lanas sound has changed so much over the years yet stayed so the same
I want this song to play at my funeral
same
I too want a song about janis joplin giving Leonard Cohen head in the chelsea hotel to be played at my funeral
+Maynor Castillo fo shizz
ikr
This is a happy song...
This is the best cover ever. She got a golden soul that you can hear from her voice! I always cry when she sings 'We are ugly but we have the music'
Check out Janis Joplin. This song is about her. And I'd say the title of greatest cover imo belongs to her "Ball and Chain", version posted on youtube by RockWithBlues if I remember correctly
Black Beauty that part always makes me laugh
Kira Andergrant I didn't know it was about Janis... Thank you so much!
Rufus Wainwright did a beautiful live cover of this too, he captures the spirit of it as well. Also gorgeous, Antony and The Johnsons cover of If It Be Your Will (also Leonard Cohen, it was a tribute show some years back). Antony's voice is.... otherworldly.
@@aleqz680 Yeah, Cohen wished that he hadn't told the world that it was about an encounter with Joplin, but it does of course make the song even more interesting, when you think about it.
The way Lana sings is so haunting and beautiful to listen to like she sings so ghostly I love it
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
You were talking so brave and so sweet
Giving me head on the unmade bed
While the limousines wait in the street
But those were the reasons and that was New York
We were running for the money and the flesh
And that was called love for the workers in zone
Probably still is for those of them left
Ah, but you got away, didn't you, baby?
You just turned your back on the crowd
You got away, I never once heard you say
I need you, I don't need you
I need you, I don't need you
And all of that jiving around
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
You were famous, your heart was a legend
You told me, again, you preferred handsome men
But for me you would make an exception
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty
You fixed yourself
You said, "Well, never mind
We are ugly, but we have the music"
Oh, but you got away, didn't you, baby?
You just turned your back on the crowd
And you got away, I never once heard you say
I need you, I don't need you
I need you, I don't need ya
And all of that jiving around
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
I can't keep track of each fallen robin
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
That's all, I don't even think of you that often
*sigh* If only Lana's version of this was on Spotify.
its on Soundcloud tho
tash palvin Thanks so much! :D
oh my God same, why do you do this Spotify WHYY
Vic I feel you
Yes! I was looking for it on Spotify too 😞
So Amazing. She said Leonard Cohen was one of the only people that spoke her language! RIP L. C.
Brian Burtis hi from NZ 17 11 16,my name s leonard rip LEONARD.
Immortal 1 so much beauty, Leonard Cohen poetry, Lana her voice.
the fact that she made this cover is so cool.. and she sang it so purely :3 Imagine the two of them singing together, how beautiful would it have been...
Just got back here after watching Lana sang along with Adam Cohen at Jones Beach on IG
Uhhh you mean Adam Cohen
Skodwarde He/she means at Jones Beach. It’s where her concert was
I was there tooo 💕💕
I was there! It was amazing live!
Norman Ultraviolence yes
Can we just have an album by Lana with a guitar...
RIP
Sirens under her "May Jailer" pseudonym
agreed,, check out her album called sirens. and also her ep called young like me
Andrew Traynor Sirens
After year, you got what you wished.
Suliman Mohammed. I came just to say this exact thing. We are fully blessed
"And clenching your fist for the ones like us who are oppressed by the figures of beauty" I love this part!
+Vany Murphyne Thank Leonard Cohen.
+Vany Murphyne Me too
+Vany Murphyne we are ugly but we have the music!
Lana's way of delivering her emotion and disclosing her heart to the public using music is what truly makes her a great story teller.
This is the most romantic thing I’ve ever heard
Wow she really is like a modern day, female, version of Johnny Cash.
Her dark but glamorous soul, her lyrical depths, and the hard life behind it.
it's not her song
Zarina Yakubjanova Oh I figured. I've heard the song before. But some of her others I meant.
This is Leonard Cohen originally. :) Anyone who likes this style should check out his other stuff.
She does remind me of Johnny Cash. I love the sadness in her voice.
Agreed.
Leonard was a master poet, and Lana knew that. He was making music till he passed, and had a long life. May he rest in peace.
This song was written by Leonard Cohen, and I blush to tell you the real story of it. It involves Janis Joplin and elevators and broken promises. I want to say Lana pulled it off
This is the first time I see a 25 million listens and the "watched minutes" graph so stable, from start to finish. People can't drop listening to this song.
As a music lover and someone who sings a lot (not good tho), I always listen to a lot of music but when I start playing Lana there's no way i will change it to something.
I consider Lana as a music genre.
True , her music is a whole genre.
People can imitate the style but can never come close to it !
True she is so unique
Black Coffee. I listen to huge amounts of music. See Lana as unique. Captivating and stand out from mainstream. Love your take on Lana. Succinct !! Genre of her own. Yep very cool.
"I remember you well in the Tipton Hotel"
lmaooo 😂😂
Said every sweet life of Zack and Cody fan 😂😂
Lol, the Chelsea is well known as the murder hotel. Tons of serial killers lived there and people have died mysteriously there. It's so bad the hotel has had to change it's name multiple times XD Funny!!
No singing in my lobby!
+Kazim Jafar OMFG IM CRYING 😂😂😂
She should just make an acoustic album, songs like this. Don't get me wrong, I love all her other songs. But something about her, just her raw voice and the guitar... It's just something magical.
her last two albums!
Agree
A lot of her early lizzy grant eps have that style of music. I have a playlist with those songs on it along with my other favorite unreleased songs of hers if u wanna check it out :) under my channel “Jennifer G” playlist named “Best Unreleased Lana”
RIP Janis Joplin ; L.Cohen dedicated this song for her
I’m never going to outgrow her poetry it’s true art to me and I love it.
I know this is a cover I’m just talking about her
Underrated. She is full of such beauty and essence, in her personality, appearance and music.
I keep thinking that she's holding beer
saaaame
me too
I think it would be right if she was holding a beer hahaha sorry for my english
White Sand omg i thought it was beer and i was like drink or put it down:(
Oh isn’t she?
this is the most incredible cover i have ever heard
just saw this live at the hollywood bowl last night and i’m still not over it, it was so beautiful live.i love u lana!
"I never once heard you say I need you...I don't need you." 😢 I can relate too much.
Same
:( The heartbreak is real
I love Leonard Cohen. I really like Lana Del Rey.
I'm very happy here.
I love this cover. "You told me again you preferred handsome men But for me you would make an exception"- Whether she's singing about a man or a woman, somebody is moving up or down the Kinsey Scale.
its not her song, its leonard cohen‘s. But yes, i love that line too!

+Etienne Lopa AAAAAAAAAA HAHAHA

I was prepared to hate this, but Lana sang Cohen's song admirably.
Beauty ofc
This is hands down the best cover I've ever heard outside of Thurston Moore doing the Carpenters Superstar.
I know exactly what you mean! I too am pleasantly surprised.
This was Lana at her best. She's the queen of haunting, sultry ballads.
It doesn't feel real that this came out 10 years ago, I love you Lana.
The last bit of this song makes me cry,
"I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best,
I can't keep track of each fallen robin.
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
that's all, I don't even think of you that often."
It has so much more meaning now that my true love had other plans.
Sam Ampora Let's cry together ToT buaaa buaaa buaaa *snif
I haven't stopped crying since he broke up with me. He got away and he is just a fallen robin to me now. I love him still. I really do.
Oh darling don't worry, every heartbreak is lonely since his or her couple got away but you have to understand that the world doesn't ends. You're beautiful and I guess that you're smart. Don't waste time. Smile. Eat a coockie. And get over it ;)
I am sorry for your pain....
Who loves you less than you need
Is not one whom you need
'Though it may not seem so right now.
okay who's cutting onions
not onions just my wrist
I see I'm not the only killjoy who likes Lana :)

@@tropico8399 HUH
Lana Del Rey is one of few pop artists today who can get away with singing a Leonard Cohen song, and she does so wonderfully. This song was obvioisly written about a man's love, or infatuation, of a woman. Yet she pulls it off great.
I love how her music now sounds like this
No it doesn't her new music's awful
@@anthonyx8216 this is just a phase you’ll grow out of it when you mature and grow up don’t worry…. (Unless you never mature)
@@anthonyx8216 no but tbh idk how to respond to you about this other than you need to expand your taste and mature up a little in order to enjoy her new music. It didn’t click for me at first but I for sure never thought it was awful. And yeah it does sound like this. It’s softer and slower and calmer in comparison to the collage of sounds she made back then. But I’m just saying she got nominated grow AOTY and a lot of praise from critics that once hated her for a reason on Nfr + her newer albums especially her recent one as well. Grow up and maybe you’ll get it
I am so sad Leonard died... May he rest in peace and I give him thanks for this song. When I saw her live, this song made me loose it.
hauntingly beautiful.. Leonard would be proud. it's refreshing to hear a female pop vocalist who isn't trying to impress with vocal range or vocal control -- we unwaveringly believe her when she sings this, and that's what makes it such an amazing performance
+jmilesweb97 I'm honestly so happy that she exists
this is her best cover ever PERIODTT
Agree
This is why Juliard has a class dedicated to her. She has her own Lana Del Ray class for her sound and how she changed the industry. ❤
Lana simply has a majestic voice, she doesn't even need instrumental background. This is true talent. It is rare and strange to hear or see. Powerful.
Her voice. Damn.
This is the best lana's cover
I would give anything for Lana’s famous low register vocals juxtaposed which her iconic high register vocals. I hate that she was bullied out of doing what made her such a legend.
It breaks my heart to know Lana has lost a love of hers. And its strange because what she feels for her role models, that she thinks those few are the only ones who can speak to her and understand her, is what exactly I feel towards Lana. I never really knew him, but any role model of Lana's is a friend of mine, because those who she looked up to is what shaped her, and I absolutely love her. Rest In Peace Leonard Cohen. 11.11.2016. Thank you for inspiring so many. Lana loves you and so do others beyond measure.
Animal finatic this is beautiful.
Animal finatic I feel the exact same way. I can't stop listening to this, knowing that she found a soul like hers and I have a found a soul like mine within her.
Kasey Lynn
don't make me cry now
Leonard wrote this about Janis Joplin, who’s also a role model for Lana. That’s why she picked this song I guess. Because it’s related to two of her idols.

One of her more iconic looks. Just flawless.
"we're ugly but we have the music" 😢
"That's all, I don't even think of you that often." Cold
It's extremely ironic, though in that the song proves he has remembered her in detail.
This would have totally fit on Chemtrails 🥺
Only Lana can touch those masterpiece

bc this is just a cover but the original version is also amazing darling
I just had to come back here cause it’s STILL not on iTunes
Written on the back of a napkin, Chelsea Hotel No. 2 is Cohen's description of a sexual encounter with Janis Joplin.
"I used to bump into her in the elevator, about three in the morning," he once told an audience in Paris. "She wasn't looking for me. I think she was looking for Kris Kristofferson, somebody taller than me. I was looking for Brigitte Bardot. Anyway, we fell into each other's arms, through some process of elimination."
His depiction of their tryst is unflattering ("You told me again, you preferred handsome men / But for me you would make an exception"), but that makes it perfect fodder for Lana Del Rey, whose languid vocals drawl over the song's seedier details.
(From the BBC)
I do not like the part where the song is called 'fodder' due to its 'seedy' details. I know it sounds silly, but I have been following Lana for a long time and I feel like she would cover this song not because of the seedy sexy details. The crux of the poetry is love and sex and emotions and losing contact. And not to mention, the poetry is gorgeous. It is so well written! There are a million 'seedy' (GOD I HATE THE WORD, its like slyly suggesting the blowjob described in the first para). In short, I think she appreciates the poetry for its nonchalance towards the romance, its details about the individuals and their preferences, lost love (which is a very common theme in Lana's own music), and several other beautiful details in the song. I think BBC is reductive, that's all.
He actually sadi he deeply regretted having been so indiscreet and graphic . He said he never liked the kiss and tell approach and to name drop women he had been intimate with . He said he was deeply sorry and apologized to her memory for that . I respected him for that . Although the lyrics are perfect that part kinda made me cringe and I am glad he thought the same .
perfect fodder. f*** of this was amazing an freaking perfect. i dont cry for anything. this made me weep like a child.
Damn it's been 6 years since the last time I've heard this song, I'm honestly glad I stumbled across this once again. thanks lana for the great music
Her voice echoes into your soul
