Del Rey, Lana - 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
Those were the reasons and that was New York
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
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 love 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

Del Rey, Lana Chelsea Hotel No. 2 Comments
Leonard Cohen never won a Grammy for his own work until after he died. Lana is still yet to win a Grammy. Why is it that great storytellers are ignored by the Grammys?

Siamo brutti ma abbiamo la musica... splendida coover...
Gosh. That didn't work out so well. That one's a little over her pay grade.
For those who don't know, this is a Leonard Cohen cover. I recommend listening to that version as well (was written about his relationship with Janis Joplin). I would love to here your opinions on which version you guys like best....just curious.
Makes me miss smoking in the morning by myself in the cold outside my farm truck ....so spiritual for some reason knowing it’s killing me and I’m ok with that
She looks gorgeous 😍❤️❤️
Lana sua cadela, bota essa música no Spotify
The best to ever ever ever exist! Magic! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Chelsea Hotel No 2:
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 flash
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, yeah, 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
This has been one of my favorites of hers for years.
I like how everyone is here because of their sad past and I'm here crying that i can't play my gacha game ;-;
How am I now just finding out about this song?!?
This song was written by Leonard cohen. A beautiful man, poet and songwriter. He wrote it about Janis Joplin. Check them out you be on a great journey.
Jan jones thanks! I for sure will
Love Lana so much. Her voice is so timeless.
If anyone is LF some more incredible music and is open to hearing a brand new artist check Mariel out, I found her recently
https://youtu.be/PNQeCM0W0cg
Lana saying my name it’s like a dream come true😍
I really love this cover, and I hope she writes some songs similar to this. Instrumentally and melodically, that is, with simple instrumentation and arrangement. Her super extra electra pop pieces kind of take away from her voice, but she has a voice of gold so I hope she'll try to capitalize more on that in the future. No shade to Summertime Sadness or This is What Makes us Girls and all of that jazz, but I'd just like to see her write some songs that are more stripped down.
I feel like you may haven't heard a lot of her songs maybe? She does this similar structure kind of a lot.
the amount of times i’ve cried to this song has to be unhealthy
where are the throamies at??
LottiLizzi Overrr hereeee
serious mood and beauty by lana del ray and bob dylan - i’m in awe
december of 2019
“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
3:27 But I do.. I think about you almost everyday & how you’ll never love me back 💔
Man...Jeff Buckley stole Hallelujah, and (to me at least) Lana stole this song from Leonard Cohen...This stays the main version in my mind, and Leonard's version is just 2nd...amazing tune!
Courtney Cox never sounded or looked so great.
Sharphet P. Hornblower wtf?
dear Lana I love you, but I would love to see that botox evaporate from your face, some facial expressions would be nice.
NFR vibes
Can’t decide if I like this or Regina Spektor’s version better. Both kind of distantly sad.
I always come to this song/cover when I feel stressed :( so beautiful
This song is about Janis Joplin. It’s brilliant.
she's just that good
Don’t like this cover at all. I don’t care much for the original either though. My favorite version is Regina Spektor’s.
“I don’t even think of you that often” 🥺😞
SHE NEEDS TO NEVER COVER SONGS OUT OF HER LEAGUE. IM SO GROSSED OUT. #STAYINYOURLANEBASIC
Lana por favor coloca essa música no próximo álbum, ela é perfeita demais
Only Leonard Cohen could perform this song
This makes me cry my eyes out every time
I will say it again HAUNTING I was there pre 911 to see where did vicious kill Nancy nguys I was with was trying to go to a club tunnel needless to say got onto bell hops dj list they didn't know back story the desk clerk was a dick
This has me feelings I thought I left with summertime sadness. 😭😭😭😭 aka I'm Chelsea so ayoooooo
This was Leonard Cohen's song 💖
Her voice is so fucking soft and velvety. I’m in love 😍
this is her best cover ever PERIODTT
Room 708, I miss your skin
THROAM brought me here
This song needs to be released. 😫
Trivago created 3.6k accounts
Its ok but Sorority Noise version is absolutely no. 1
this is a lullaby fr
my Fav Leonard Cohen songs and Lana does it great justice. x

So they made a song about my hell work place...
WHY ISNT THIS ON APPLE MUSIC 😓😓😓
UGH she’s perfect! I wish this song was in Apple Music... :’(
I wish this was on Spotify :/
This is a really weird cover it’s very driven by her vocals... I kinda like it
This would be Perfect in Norman Fucking Rockwell
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!
3.6k dislikes wow who are these stupid humans ???
Sourav Bhattacharya trivago
I feel this song in my bones, in my soul😭
Did anyone else die when she sang "giving me head?" No? Just me. Ok.
2019???
❤❤❤
This is kinda like asmr with headphones lol
That last couple of lines, tho. wtf?
First listen prior to knowing Leonard Cohen's context--- *me* ohhh pretty song... great cover
Listening to this after watching the Janis Joplin documentaries-- *me* This is phenomenal as is Cohen's song ;(
Its so good to watch them
Who’s here after seeing her recent Instagram posts ?
Just saw her perform this with Sean Lennon at Jones beach ❤ so beautiful
when she sang this at jones beach tonight i cried🖤
was i the only one that didn't think the microphone was beer?
I walked past the Chelsea Hote, when I was in New York, it looks so pretty 🥺
I never forget this
Why tf is this not on Spotify?
I remember balling my eyes out to this
Vine a recordar <3
Such a soft, beautiful, melancholy song
Thank you
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 💕💕
came here from igtv lana
nour lailey samee
lana del rey la subió en instagram <3 me hizo recordar bellos momentos con esta canción! la amo
once again here in 2019
R.I.P Leonard Cohen, and R.IP Janis Joplin, the person who this song is about, and an amazing blues/rock singer
Is she ever gonna take a sip?
It's gotta be sooooo warm by now....
listening to this song at midnight alone with light turned off >>>>>>>>>>>
this one is on different level
The lyrics are so deeply sincere and relatable I can't even. This is how love feels folks.
Well done for taking Leonard Cohen's song on, he's hard to match up to! Brilliant job as always, beautiful song! Of course he sang this for Janice J but can be applied to any desperate performer on the streets to get themselves somewhere and to achieve their dreams then once there they're still there but not..heartbreaking really cos it's like no one cares really...whatever position you're in..
I can't believe some people try to twerk to this version of the song. Such a travesty! Lana is so beautiful and her voice is timeless.
MUST visit the youtube channel:cronin621 to view Chelsea Hotel song by The Future
sorry leonard, but this cover is playing at my wedding
Song by Leonard Cohen, written posthumously to Janis Joplin...
As far as covers go, Rufus Wainright's is number one for me, but this one is a sweet second
I'm gay but for Lana I can make an exception, shes so sweet, talented, beaitiful argh 😭❤
Leonard's words tear my heart apart
