Story Behind The Song

A long time fan of Lana Del Rey, I first started playing around with the cover in 2019. Curious to do a cover with a softer, more sensual appeal to make it unique to me. The new bridge of mine would switch keys which I wasn't sure if it was going to work well, but it blended so nicely in and out of that section that even I was surprised.

Lyrics

I got my red dress on tonight
Dancin' in the dark in the pale moonlight
Done my hair up real big, beauty queen style
High heels off, I'm feelin' alive

Oh my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above
Are sizzlin' like a snare
Honey I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothin' scares me anymore
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby, you the best

I got that summertime, summertime sadness
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness oh oh
I got that summertime
I got that summertime
I got that summertime, I got that summertime summertime sadness
I got that summertime
I got that summertime
I got that summertime, summertime summertime sadness

I'm feelin' electric tonight
Cruisin' down the coast, goin' about 99
Got my bad baby by my heavenly side
I know if I go, I'll die happy tonight

Oh my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above
Are sizzlin' like a snare
Honey I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothin' scares me anymore

Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby, you the best
I got that summertime, summertime sadness
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness oh oh

I think I'll miss you forever
like the stars miss the sun
and the morning sky
laters better than never
even if your gone
I'm gonna drive

I got that summertime
I got that summertime summertime summertime sadness
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness oh oh

Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby, you the best
I got that summertime, summertime sadness
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness oh oh
