Lana Del Rey - Chelsea Hotel No 2



This is a really, really great cover of Leonard Cohen's Chelsea Hotel No 2. What's great is that I work in Chelsea. This hotel is real. A story was written about with an air of love surrounding it... and hundreds of people covered and re-sung this seemingly effortlessly gorgeous song of highly respectable proportions. Not to mention Lana Del Rey's voice is so reminiscent of Nancy Sinatra that I just feel like I'm in another era when listening to this. Songs are meant to provoke deep feelings and emotions within just a few minutes, well, this one accomplishes it. Lana, all jokes and failures aside, is an incredibly talented human being. I feel as if she fought her share of internal wars and now has fallen into the acceptable of her amazing life and finally getting the accomplishments she deserves.
