Cover of they Day: Patrick Wolf – Born to Die (Lana Del Rey cover)

Remember Lana Del Rey?

While she might have left our collective mind over the course of the last nine months (mostly due to her tragic SNL performance), it’s hard to forget that period between October to December 2011, when the New Jersey youtube singer was the hottest ticket in town. Patrick Wolf sure didn’t, and as such, has released a cover of “Born to Die.” You might recall this song from the tigers that are in the music video.

Simplifying the original song, Patrick augments his vocals with a simple string section and this track sounds good. Check it out.
