This is a naked vocal over a simple piano refrain. No autotune garbage here. Just pure talent! Now that doesn't mean everyone has to like it but I appreciate this. I think she could sing opera if she wanted to. She has an incredible vocal range. Beautiful!
Mm... I'm not so sure on her range, but she has a good strong alto here. I prefer this version to - well, frankly, to anything else she's done. Not a big fan of her as a person, she comes out with some right rubbish sometimes, but talent she has. That I admit.
Actually, She did in fact write this song. She said at a interview "I was sitting at the table trying to write a song and looked at him and just started crying because I love him so much." She did write it ppl that think she didn't.
This is by far the best version of this piece and one of her finest accomplishments. The album version is over-produced and likely not her original vision. Masterful.

I can't stand haters that say Lana can't sing well live. LISTEN TO THIS, and a lot of her other performances! She's a really good singer. All singers sometimes have bad moments, but it doesn't mean they are bad. LANA DEL REY IS GORGEOUS WHEN SHE SINGS TOO!!!!!!!!!
Brady Freestone All singers have their bad moments. Unfortunately for Lana, hers was in the beginning of her career (as Lana Del Rey). Fortunately, there's a lot of her live performances on TH-cam which prove all haters wrong!
@@Nanaelyy Well, perhaps not so much now as during her obsessive "27 club" phase. Remember I made that comment 4 years ago! She does seem to be developing a little more common sense when it comes to how problematic it is to glorify abusive relationships the way she's done from time to time.
***** yeah I love Gaga & Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera has a fucking great voice too! Lana is different, she has something dark in herself and her art which I really love and she has a special voice!
i honestly love the fact that every song is sung differently whenever she gets on stage. She tries new things with her voice as opposed to singing the same thing youd hear on the album.
It's just sad and the songs have a lonely vibe. As If Lana Is very lonely. I can't really explain.. It's just lonely in many ways. Maybe Lana is lonely.
Lana Del Rey may not always give the perfect vocal performance, but is that all this is really about now a days? When I listen to her music I feel like im in the 1950's, her voice and presence is so hauntingly beautiful who cares if theres a couple voice cracks. This is the stuff I fucking live for, magnificent purity. her voice is so pure.
Wow. No. Music should be about the music, first and foremost and always. That said, I don't hear any cracks in this recording. Very brief melisma, yes.
The ONLY reason people say she can't sing live is because pop singers usually have a very polished voice; perfect. Lana has a very raw, melancholy voice that not many pop fans are used to.
I remember this was the first thing i heard of her in 2011 when I was eleven. Then I didn't start listening to her again until 2015, she's stayed with me ever since 💙
Lana is not a natural performer and her true fans know that (-: she has said it many times before.. She doesn't do well in front of big crowds.... This is a perfect example how well she does in front of smaller audiences ((-:
My dear Lana when you start singing a song, I close my eyes and enter another world, maybe in my dreams, but whatever it is, it is very good. Your voice separates my soul from my body. You can not imagine how much I love you and you are the best singer I have ever known and will know . LOVE YOU ELAHE
i just- it's 2: 43 am and im just now listening to lana del rey..... and it's like she's touched my soul. she's just so intriguing, her voice is a perfect mixture of sensual, sad, and mysterious to make it perfect. the way she executes her live performances and music videos, how they're so simplistic yet jam packed with visuals and references to various things, it's all so beautiful. i seriously don't know how to describe her in any word other than beautiful.
She is so so underrated she deserves much much more attention and aprication. The only good thing about her being underrated is that there aren't as many fake fans. Slay my queen!!!
+Breanna Parker she's just shy and sing better in small audience when there's only few people or when it's her fan. but on tv or stuff like this she's just shy .... but good too
This is the first thing i ever saw about Lana del Rey. Less than two years ago, i was up in the middle of the night watching an music channel in boredom, and then this video started. I just got amazed by her hypnotic voice for the whole video. So simple and beautiful. Only needing a piano company and her voice to do a masterpiece, in these days when music is so filled with extravagances. I had heard speaking of Born to Die and her but i really hadn't give much thought on it. But after that i just went to listen and got addicted to her songs. The lyrics, the voice, the melodies, all of them are just breathtaking, released or not. Thank you Lana.
Why so many people hate her?..2.8k haters.Are you people deaf?..Lana Del Rey is a Legend.Glad am living the same time she’s living.Overwhelmed.Helping me to get through.Thank you Bae.
I saw her a couple weeks ago and she absolutely killed this song. It must've felt incredible being up there with 40,000 people singing along with you, that's what I think is beautiful.
Que tristeza la gente que no sabe apreciar su voz, la que dice que su voz es para ''dormir''. Es hipnótica, me da tanta paz escucharla, es tan simple, y tiene tanto talento! Te amo lanita, superas a cualquier otro artista.
Absolutely beautiful! I think this is the BEST vocal performance by Lana on this song. And her with just the piano is MAGICAL. She has STYLE and a FANTASTIC image, not to mention a deep artistic soul, period. If people today cannot understand that, we've lost all our sense of art, entertainment, style and creative expression. This video is when I first heard Lana and I was "mesmerized". This retro / hollywood style was beyond intriguing. I had heard about the infamous "SNL" incident and all the criticism, so I had to see and hear for myself who this person was. I loved it so much that I took my PC upstairs to my mom's apartment to get her opinion (mom was top-notch on judging artists, and a verrrrrryyyyy picky person, extremely hard to satisfy, and pretty dismissive on most of the new artists, now she's passed away). Well, she stood there in TOTAL silence throughout the whole video. At the end, she turned and said to me "play it again". That meant she LOVED it. We're talking someone who lived through all the decades up until now of great movies, music, singers, dancers, composers, etc. And she and I were always in agreement in our opinions. People, if you don't like Lana, free to do so, but keep your criticisms of her artistry to yourselves, that means you don't understand anything. Wake up!
She may not realize this herself as she sang live but she rips my heart. Really. Little by little. And sometimes, I love the way that feels because it does hurt but its a hurt I want. I don't make sense. But I love her. Bye.
Izis Styles you're not stupid honey, I do too and I'm a man's man. The combination of that look and that sound and that creative ability- Damn! She's too much. There's nothing new under the sun- except Lana!
+Kal08 In born to die her songs were more variated and she wrote more 'free' lyrics (hard to explain ugh) I think her other albums are also truly amazing, but I like Born To Die more
hey lana we are here, we will be there for you, you will always be your fan, you are eternal with your art in all of our hearts, until you are old, you will still be a woman who has accompanied youth, thank you
.. god.. this was so beautiful.. and she lags such sad eyes... I am truly mesmerised by her voice her gestures, her beauty... this made me cry and I never cry when i listen to music... so thank you Lana for making me feel something ..
Loving her since 2012… Since the very first time I heard this song I felt something in my heart. I knew I was going to love her music forever 💞 She is an old soul.

well said
Totalmente de acuerdo. La voz de Lana es sensual pero a la vez melancólica y nostálgica.
omg yeah, exactly like that!
lana's music is not only to be listened but it is meant to be felt, to be savoured .

Now thats one hell of a comment 😊
what a comment!

that is deeep👻☁
If you cry listening Lana Del Rey, we can be friends.
It's settled then.

I was just crying a while ago
yes i cry
I'm crying :/
I love the way she says honey

Lana Del Rey is a completely different genre. Only she can sing and portray songs like this.
This is art.
Heaven is a place on earth with you...
She is just an angel in this fucking world
Nada mas preciso
Yessssss
I stop breathing while listening to Lana, just to be sure she's the only thing that I'm hearing.
It's so true...
Damn your ears are as big as a rabbit's then?
she has that classic oldies vibe that died out a long time ago.
i luv this
It's been 8 years how are you
this still reigns true 8 years later
@@jhenellbinns9080 ded maybe😅
that microphone one lucky bastard..

tricky omg😂😂😂
The microphone needs a cigarette!
She looks so innocent but then you listen to her voice and you just think like heaven literal heaven
Thank you for everything, Lana
So true.. U gonna make me cry..
She is calm here, and totally comfortable with the situation. Her voice sounds pure and magic.
@Lesah YOUR OPINION = 19th century
SNL is the best performance for me ❤
I'm so fucking in love with this woman
This is by far the best version of this piece and one of her finest accomplishments. The album version is over-produced and likely not her original vision. Masterful.
The way she says honey makes me feel some type of way, she's so talented.
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."

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

she is stunning, especially when she smiles, fucking beautiful.
She's the most beautiful singer in the world

A sublime manifestation of beauty, good taste, good music

@@Nanaelyy Well, perhaps not so much now as during her obsessive "27 club" phase. Remember I made that comment 4 years ago! She does seem to be developing a little more common sense when it comes to how problematic it is to glorify abusive relationships the way she's done from time to time.

***** hahaha! You're funny and you're right. And Lana is amazing
***** yeah I love Gaga & Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera has a fucking great voice too! Lana is different, she has something dark in herself and her art which I really love and she has a special voice!
She can sing live, it's just that's she gets so nervous that she starts doing all of these weird things
They must be deaf
People say that cuz most of her songs are slow paste and low voiced. I'm sure she can pull it off no problem if she wanted to do more live events.
i honestly love the fact that every song is sung differently whenever she gets on stage. She tries new things with her voice as opposed to singing the same thing youd hear on the album.
This is just beauty at its purest. Her voice, her face, the way she moves along with her perfect song.
an angel has landed on earth !!!
She seems like the loneliest woman in the music business.
I know, it's sad really. She is amazing.
From judging the songs on her first and latest album, I agree.
lonely, in what form?
It's just sad and the songs have a lonely vibe. As If Lana Is very lonely. I can't really explain.. It's just lonely in many ways. Maybe Lana is lonely.
I agree but she is good friends with James Franco tho and she's dating Francesco
Beautiful as always

Oh my... Oh my...
That smile...
(1:17)
The transition between the deeper, glamorous and temptress voice and the lovesick, submissive voice is heavenly.
oh my gosh why have I never seen this? I feel a bit more complete 😍
She literally is Gods gift to earth lol
WHY HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS OMG!!
FAV!
this is the first live performance I saw of Lana & I fell in love with her. I still love her 8 years later
The ONLY reason people say she can't sing live is because pop singers usually have a very polished voice; perfect. Lana has a very raw, melancholy voice that not many pop fans are used to.
I feel so much pain in her "smile" at 3:39... who else is here in 2017? I can't stop watching this ever..
I'm here in 2024
Do you hear that??? That is the sound of me faintly crying because this is the most beautiful thing ever
Omg, it's been 5 years already

Lol
How is this dark? Lana even said that her song "video games" is a happy song, but non understanding fans think its dark and sad...
This is the best performance of this song.
I much prefer this version of Video Games to the album version, this is heaven
