Lana Del Rey - Some Things Last A Long Time Lyrics

Was this released or leaked?

I came here after watching the short DJ short film. I balled like a baby watching it. Lol. And i don't cry to anything. So it makes it that much more special. R.I.P. Dan, and good job Lana!

december 17th, the love of my life is moving away permanently. im going to miss you aurora... true love finds you in the end...

This song is very very deep and sad

i still think about you

But nothing lasts forever.

nothing like DANIEL

Love it so much, damn this version should be on spotify =(

Terrible cover, she changed all the fucking Sense of the song. More respect for Daniel p l e a s e

Daniel is so much better in the Refrain ... Lana is Mainstream ... Daniel was outta this world...

A TOMAR POR CULO QUE ES ESTO

Loved this song since I was 12 y/o when I heard my older cousin listening to it. Just now found this Lana cover. Tears in my eyes, feeling joy an pain at the same time. Always think of my brother that took his own life. And smile ❤❤

This is beautiful, thanks Daniel.

Such a haunting cover.. so beautiful...so melancholic. I cannot imagine any other artist covering this phenomenal song... love you Lana!!

Some say the most beautiful song ever written.

This is the Daniel Johnston short film i first heard her sing this tune. Haunted, ethereal, beautiful.....

This is beautiful 😪 love Daniel and Lana.

Beautiful cover. R.I.P. Daniel :(

...but not forever

RIP Daniel <3

Great cover. RIP Daniel gone much too soon.

Rip daniel Johnston

You are loved by humans you never knew

RIP Daniel Johnston.

@Ronnie Felix I was really shocked at first thinking 58 was much too young to die. But then I realised sadly with bipolar and schizophrenia it's actuallynot an unusual lifespan at all.

:-( rip Daniel Johnston

I listened to a lot of music today but this is the only song that matters

Sucka de cock
Is a disgrace
For even attempting this
It was only to diversify her audience
She’s still a duck faced slut

Her red is strong
Her conch is ewww

nice song i wanna die 😍

I love lana wow can’t believe other artists like beach house have covered her song

Alex DeLarge not her song was originally by Daniel Johnston

there are better covers out there than this.

sunshaped it’s still a very good cover

I'm not familiar with Lana del Rey's works, but kudos for keeping the legacy of Daniel Johnston.

WHAT?!?!?!

I love Lana and I love love love Daniel Johnston. But for some reason this cover was a major turn off for me.

Im a big Daniel Johnston fan and have never listened to lana del rey but i really like this

thomas wow! You've actually never heard Lana??? That's crazy, she's got some bigs hit you might know of if played for you. I really appreciate her and the experience of her music, but same goes for Johnston-- and I can't help but feel that this song isnt hers to cover. I know music can relate to anyone, and that's the beauty of music, but I don't like that someone of her status is singing such s raw, emotionally entrenched song. It feels almost like capitalism to me, and I'm not about it. I've been jamming to her cover of "Doing Time" by Sublime, i love it!! But this one? Nah, I only wanna hear Daniel sing this tbh.

I remember when it was released I didn’t really like, but I came across it like a year later and I absolutely loved it

now that i fully understand the lyrics this makes me cry everytime, the relationship didnt last, but the picture of her has lasted a long time

Thank Daniel man

Accidentally discovered this song just after watching Brokeback Mountain. The lyrics really hit me right in the feels :(

Алёна, АЛЬОНА!

I like the Beach House version way more!

Everytime i listen to this that brokeback mountain's last scene hits me hard ...

Lana del rey is my religion, and no one can change my mind

always makes me so emotional.

Cover makes sense

[ I love you Danny...]

Algunas cosas duran mucho tiempo...

Your picture
Is still
On my wall
On my wall

The colors
Are bright
Bright
As ever

The red is strong
The blue is pure
Some things last a long time
Some things last a long time

Your picture
Is still
On my wall
On my wall

I think
About you
Often
Often

I won't forget
All the things we did
Some things last a long time
Some things last a long time

It's funny
But it's true
And it's true
But it's not funny

Time comes and goes
But all the while
I still think of you
Some things last a long time

Your picture
Is still
On my wall
On my wall

The colors
Are bright
Bright
As ever

The things we did
I can't forget
Some things last a lifetime
Some things last a lifetime
Some things last a lifetime
Some things last a lifetime

i wrote a song for lana, check it out on my channel https://youtu.be/rbV57I0e_DY

God the little change in the way she sings some things laaaaast a. Long time. Gets me every time and to me captured what Daniel Johnston was capturing first. Beautiful stuff. One word

This song brings me a Life is Strange feeling 😢💔🦋

Found this totally on accident...I adore Lana. And of course the original is great. But if you want to hear another amazing version of this song, check out the one by Beach House. A-ma-zing

I feel a connection @1:48 “I think of you often” to Lana’s cover of Chelsea Hotel no.2 “I don’t even think of you that often”. Maybe it’s a bit far fetched but I’d like to believe it.

this is shit

Some things last a long time

lovely, but Beach House version is sublime

Mi reina😍

She ruined the song

I hate Lana but this is pretty good.

Essa música acaba comigo

Original is my favorite but this is a very sweet cover I love it, thank you lana

Fun fact when Daniel was first told of this cover he wasn't even interested in listening to it.

shit pure

I love this song so much its makes me cry

such a shitty cover wtf

Tomorrow Never Came reminds me of this!!!!

the most odiously terrible desecration of a song ever wrought
anyone who covers Daniel Johnston does not understand what made the original great

Oh, but now I remember that I've listened to this already:)

That moment when you realize you will never know all of Lana's songs because new unreleased songs seem to appear constantly.:)♥

Someone help. I need more songs like this. I've been listening to this on repeat for days now! (P.s. I'm already familiar with all of Daniel Johnston's stuff and all of Lana Del Rey's stuff)

I know some tunes that you may like:
The ballad of day by day - Clement Snide.
Promise - Ben Howard.
Tuesdays - Jaye Bartell.

Awesome, thank you ser!

William Cole I have most of lana Del rey's unreleased songs on a playlist on my account and also have her albums ( just the instrumentals )

William Cole Try some Perishers, I think you'll like them :)

MY HEART.

she really did nail this cover

>3 chords
>too much reverb
>0 emotion
>made daniel want to kill himself

"Yeah guys! Awesome cover, I love Lana! So talented!"

Neil D Did he actually want to kill himself after it was put out?

Neil lmao hardly her fault if it made him want to kill himself

@Neil excuse me. She nailed this cover. I would love to see your amazing beautiful cover here sweetie :)

Kalyan Ram the idea of “you couldn’t do better” is completely childish and makes no sense at all. If we didn’t critique the things that people claim to specialize in, there’d be no quality control. People love to criticize world leaders but could never run a nation if they were put in the situation. I’m not saying that Lana is not talented, she’s absolutely nothing if not talented, but this song in particular just feels like a bastardization of the original.

One day when we meet I will tell you how much I love your cover of this song.

Her vibrato is beautiful

Just when I think she can't get more cool, she goes and covers Daniel Johnston...

Beautiful

I love you

daniel jhonston covrr

he actually threaten to kill himself off this cover and it sent him into bad mental health because her felt it was commercialized and insincere

But since he is severely mentally ill, suicide is a usual part of the package and can be triggered by anything because the view on reality is skewed. Mental illness is the scariest thing that can befall a person.

Music is a product and must be bought. So for every cover, there is a price paid and has nothing to do with the writer of the music but the legalities involved and copyright limits etc.

this whole songs screams mental illness. This poor bloke was obsessed with a girl called Laura or Laurie and he was singing about her picture a decade later. If you listen to it from her POV then its a really creepy song.

+Mark Humphrey she forgave him.ease up

Love this!

I record Grunge-Blues-Psychedelia in my room, on a little 4-track.
Have a listen on my channel :)

Not a bad cover but I don't want this bringing tons of fake fans to Daniel Johnston. hes such a good artist

James Mendenhall I would have never listened to Daniel without Built To Spill's influence. I came to the party later than some, but holy shit I get it and love him.

Carli Ihde Well said.

Yann C go back 2 tumblr fake fan

Carli Ihde big respect

Bringing attention to his work isn’t a bad thing

YES.... YES! THIS IS THE BEST THING TO HAVE EVER EXISTED.

Sorry for some reason I got her mixed up with Carly Rae Jepsen. Forgive me. Lana Del Rey isn't bad😁

Mattheudamus Boneparte Carly's new was good breh

personificação de Deus na terra.

love love love

i can't more :'(

Damn good cover

Ayy, como hay gente que puede arruinar tanto una canción solo por cantarla

This cover and song is so beautiful. It's simplicity and lyrics really get to me, especially the one lyric where it says "I still think about you." It's personal, but I guess thats what makes the song so emotional. Amazing, I love you Lana and thank you to whoever wrote the song.

daniel johnston.. his version is better

+blake bartee subjective... lanas voice is a million times better

@Ronnie Felix true but I think that the artistry and beauty of the song and lyrics are in his voice not hers.

Ronnie Felix wrong

Daniel Johnston wrote the song. He died at 58 on 9/11/2019. He was a unique & intensely honest songwriter & performer. Lana Del Ray does an exquisite version of his song (not saying better, but beautiful all the same). All the better that more people hear his work. 🎶

I like how this features in the new film about Daniel Johnson... he obviously sanctioned this version and probably hand-picked her to cover it...?

In case you didn't know Barrie-James O'Neill produced this and also is playing the quitar.

lol how sad is this

Do you even know what produce even mean? Not wrote the song. HE produced this version

Man On The Moon are you really that stupid... they’re obviously talking about lana’s version not daniel’s version 🙄

Man On The Moon
Daniel didn’t even produce HIS version of the song, it was done by Jad Fair from Half Japanese.

Barrie-J O' Neill Fan Pag

I just had my little dog stolen..this song reminds me of it.. (Just crying) love you Lana!

brilliant [email protected] johnston

Blue is true

This song is my 21'st birthday night song

Fuck me! she's so beautiful.

She and Beach House have the best versions.

listen to the version by Fuxa and Britta Phillips.

I can't find this song on I tunes help someone !! Please

Voz fantástica!

It sucks that some people can't simply appreciate the work and start with this how does it better bullshit, I am not a Daniel Johnston fan, I have known this song for awhile through other artists like Beach House, that also covered this song. I am a Lana Del Rey fan and I am grateful to hear this song that I like, with her voice that I love, thank you Daniel and thank you Lana.

chills
omg
♥♥♥

I WISH I CAN MEET HER SOMEDAY IN THIS WORLD OR ANOTHER WORLD 😢😢

i love you Lana .....you are my QUEEN

Wow! a mix of my two favorites artists... I couldn't imagine that such a thing could happen. I prefer Dan's version but I would enjoy if she cover more daniel's song :D
