i remember helping teach/conduct a class she took in college, Writing For The Stage, which students would have to submit One-Act plays every week which the whole class would act out. she was so charged up, vivacious and exuberant-- just a wonderful student/participant. she would write such hilarious scripts and her acting was also marvelous and off the proverbial hook. i knew she was destined for greatness and yet she was always humble, graceful, and so down to earth. Amanda it was a pue joy. ty
The fact that she's doing this in bondage. I am dying.
Now show me the link where lana answers the challenge by doing an amanda palmer song.
Her Shibari bound wrists, dress, and that beautiful haunting voice. Oh Amanda... I love you. Thank you so much for sharing!
Though some see this as Amanda poking fun at Lana Del Rey, I think she really likes the song and did it justice.
Corey Linstrom I agree. If you read any of Amanda's social media she loves a lot of modern popular artists non-ironically. I remember her old blog she cited an Avril Lavigne album as one of her inspirations for her music :P
I love how she puts her heart into everything she does.
If you watched Lana Del Ray's interview, she explained this song and the lyrics. At the time when she wrote it, her career was going nowhere and she decided to live in the moment with the person she was in relationship with, this song wasn't meant to be sad. I guess it only comes off as sad because of the style it is sung and because that relationship didn't work. It's sort of a melancholy of the past.
I think its beautiful how she played the piano with her hands tiet
AAAAAAHHHHH! My two favorite artists have come together (directly/indirectly) XD
im fucking crying why is amanda palmer a GODDESS
The for and against folks...perhaps she did this version for *gasp* fun!? I love to sing songs and change them up a bit. Amanda looks like she's just enjoying herself singing and playing. I personally enjoyed this version and enjoy Del Rey's version as well.
you da boss! ( wink) ---> fun
Everyone is trash talking Lana, what? She's got such a somber voice. I love it! Amanda is great too. I enjoy them both. :)
Two of my favorite artists and aesthetics being blended together! I literally squealed with happiness when I saw this in my suggestions bar.
I love Amanda Palmer...There's just something about her that's so captivating
Anyone who knows Amanda knows she would never ever do something like this to diminish or mock any other artist

such an honest voice ....thank you for music this has just been so heart warming!
WOW. Thanks for the goosebumps, Amanda.
Love seeing my #1 favorite goddess singing another one of my favorite goddesses songs with her hands tied. :) My heart melts.
Fantastic! You are incredible ♥
Ahh my one favorite person singing my other favorite persons song. Musicgasm.
my favorite song of lana, love so much this cover, love amanda, big big artist
I think this is beautiful.
Amanda Palmer. Wow.
amazing track and came to me when I was thinking profoundly about someone I cant believe it
I just love it..
QUE BONITA
(✪ ✪)
Holy holy.
I thought I had gotten everything out of this song I could ever get from it.
Dang near moved me to tears.
Actually mesmerising, hypnotic and beautiful. Plus AFP has really gorgeous hands. Great video, great heartfelt, soulfelt music.
beautiful
I get this.
Divina !@_@
this song is tragic no matter who's singing it. and gorgeous. both Lana and Amanda are amazing.
more lana covers i love this miz of 2 of my fav singers
Amazing cover, you make it so much more deep and meaningful. Love you.
+ wonderful room!
great!
...My girlfriend and I consider a mark of the health of our relationship that, if we were to leave each other today, we'd both be better, tomorrow, for having known each other. "True" love is whole people choosing to tangle their lives up--not because they need each other, but because they *want* each other. It's not true love anymore if one person loses the ability to be a person in their own right--that's incredibly unhealthy.
SHUTUP PRATT
Playing the piano with wrists bound is a definite talent!
😊
SAME!
She's so beautiful
Wow!! 3
Why do people think this is mocking? Do you really think she'd bring such emotion into the song and symbolism into her look if she was trying to mock another artist? Obviously not, she likes the song and Lana.
Me gusta.
Flawless fucking human being.
Good interpretation, I imagine it can be used for practice as well.
Well, she already did this with "Guitar Hero" as any fan knows
I dunno. There's also the interpretation of real love and devotion, and willing subservience--there's something to be said for that overwhelming love that makes you willing to do anything for someone. It doesn't necessarily indicate total self-sacrifice.
This really is a beautiful song. Leave it to Amanda to sprinkle the diamond dust over gold. 3
That's Amanda Fucking Palmer.
Neil's a little too good w/ those knots :)
TAN SIMPLE....COMO EL QUE BONITA
No, Amanda's not a snob. She's had songs with less complicated piano parts in it... Also I do believe that Lana Del Rey is the best thing in mainstream pop music for a long time!
Oh she's a pretty princess, I like it
I love that her hands are bound! Superb psycho tripping!!
I think it always was ;)
.....
I don´t like original version of this song, I don´t like Lana Del Rey .. but Amanda it´s just amazing! Her voice is so pretty, I can no stop listening every cover that she does, is impossible not to adore her .. Amanada is the best
aka 1950's Concerto for two hands tied. (shibari voce)
"yes, I can do it with my tied hands"
Me encanta más con Amanada...
Es hermosa! :')
Agree this is better than the LDL original. But then I preferred the Dresden Doll's live version of 2 headed boy to the (still fab) original by Neutral Milk Hotel :)
If you are talking about Amand Fucking Palmer then I recall reading in some blog-like post of hers on her site that ever since she first heard Lana Del Ray sing it she thought of doing a cover of it with her hands tied. So, more or less on a whim, she did it.
Or something like that. I can't be arsed to google the post to give you a word-by-word version. But basically what's with her is that she's as FAR from awkward as anyone can ever be - awkward is when you're ashamed toots :)
Parker*
Why are people tripping over themselves to proclaim their allegiance to Amanda's version over Lana? I love both of them and I wish people would stop pitting women against each other, particularly in the music industry. Understandable in this instance since it's a cover, but it gets tiresome in general. I would appreciate seeing both of these ladies at the same show!
And I get the impression that Amanda's actually giving a nod to Lana. Not a "fuck you" lol. We could all take note
Why does she always make playing an instrument harder
I dont really like that dress neither the makeup, but, as usual, her voice and piano are perfect =)
When it comes to Lana Del Rey covers I've heard I much prefer Tiamat's version of Born To Die
Why are her hands bound?
Who?
it took me three times viewing this to realize her hands were tied together.
i was about to say that.. she looks a bit weird but, i liked it :)
why you tied up?
So is nobody going question why her hands are tied together, or...?
My theory is that it just adds to the tragedy of the lyrics... or she just wanted to try playing it like that :P
This is much better than Lana Del Ray, personally I believe she only got so far based on the way she looks, not talent. Amanda has shown so much more talent and has done everything herself. I bet LDR didn't even write that song!
well she is 10 years older...
anyway, the merit of this song goes to whoever composed it, and those were Lana and Justin Park
with money we can do stuff we are not able to.
u sick
why are your hands tied together ????
but that is what love do to you, if it's true. It's fucking mean... -.-'
Isn't that the truth.
Lana del Rey can sing live well too
I figure its the difference between being a good singer and being a good aritst.
Obviously lana had to give her permission or something to use her song it is not exactly happy birthday she has to get permission to use it she is not like an ordinary fan and can get away with stealing other peoples songs lana would sue her ass.
you can legally cover people's songs its fine
Except Amanda has been doing this since '89, so not really.
Has Amanda just turned this into a song about stockholm syndrome??
Those are qualities that most singers better have..lol.
Um...yes she can. Otherwise if she never could sing, then how would it be possible for Amanda to cover her song hmm? ;)
Lana del Ray? I can outplay her with my hands tied
+Be Mine or maybe, just maybe, my auto correct doesn't recognize her name and I didn't realize it
or maybe since amanda was a performer in the arts she is wearing the wedding dress with her hands tied to symbolize how the woman in the song feels trapped by this love...
+Tina Kuklinski dude it was a joke...
actually, the tied hands are less of a tell than the horrid fake eye-lashes..
My goodness! And her hands are tied!...
What the fugg is that supposed to mean? (Rhetorical!!)
eh why is her hands tied?
"Lana Del Ray? Pfft, I can outplay her with my hands tied together."
If you listen to the lyrics, Lana is quite submissive to her man. It's quite deep and meaningful, that her hands are tied together, actually!
oneillkza
lmfao thank you for existing that is the best answer i have ever seen hahaha
because its amanda fucking palmer ;)
+Evelina V. Why are yours not?
better than Lana for me..
I thought this was totally obvious..?
Creepy.
I guess I don't get the bound wrists. Or any of it, really.
hahahaha sorry I wanted to write "I smell hipster" but I clicked the enter button by accident xD
I'm guessing she's satirizing the lyrics of the song... It's a beautiful song for sure, and I like Lana's version too, but the lyrics are really disturbing! A woman defining herself completely in terms of a man, measuring the entire worth of her life by her relationship, and desperately doing anything the man wants to cling to his love? The woman in the song has really imprisoned herself in a miserable existence, like Amanda with her bound wrists and depressed, blank expression.
She sounds better than Lana.
wassup w the awkward bondage girl
