I don't know why, but I feel like all the other times I listened to this song I wasn't paying close enough attention to the lyrics. But when I listened to your version the lyrics really hit me. It's powerful
It's a story of a woman who couldn't marry the love of her life because her Dad died before he could ask for her hand in marriage and she was too heartbroken to marry him without her Father's approval and she spent the rest of her life wondering what if. It's a true story and a terribly sad one.
@@TheEedjit hahaha that was me in January, life in the city made me cry because I thought I had no chance of achieving a dream of mine...but now I've got quite a bit more hope and there songs got me to overcome some things 💕 so forever grateful for them
It has been a good, long time before I saw someone on yt with a voice so crystal clear and polished. your vocal control and composition for this cover are professional, but your voice is stunning!
I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress With my father in a casket, I had no plans, yeah And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet And it hardened like my heart did when you left town But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters But that's all in the past now, gone with the wind Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom It's a bed and a bathroom And a place for the end I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
Sarah you’re phenomenal you’ve made this awesome song even more awesome playing beautifully and sing incredibly well. Will now listen to this version on repeat endlessly because it is that epic
Cleopatra immediately became one of my favourite songs by The Lumineers. Great cover!
mine, too. And, Ophelia :"3
Love that guitar!

You totally captured the emotion and tone of the song! Well done.
i found someone else with an unhealthy obsession with the lumineers finally 😊😂
Me too heyy, theres something about their songs that's so real and hits you deep!!!!
Yep just discovered them a few days ago. 58 times i listened to the song yesterday.. 32 in a row.. 🤦♂️
I need a life in lockdown. 😂

I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress
When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand
But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress
With my father in a casket, I had no plans, yeah
And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet
And it hardened like my heart did when you left town
But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant
Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me
Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true
So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me
From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce
But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part
I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters
But that's all in the past now, gone with the wind
Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom
It's a bed and a bathroom
And a place for the end
I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
when you've listened to this song probs over 100 times and know all the words 😂 sksksks
They are one of my fav bands toooo
