the raspy sound in his higher register is so beautiful and really adds to the emotion. this is one of my my new covers ever!

I'm actually doing a cover of 'Young And Beautiful' next.... :)

You're the only one who can do a Lana cover with the respect and dignity that woman deserves.

Holy freaking mother of Jesus this guy has pipes

Heard this on the Grammys and I have to say this is amazing.

This song was showed in the grammy awards. So great!! Hope to see you on someday performs on grammy awards.

Omg.. I almost started crying at how beautiful this was sang.. And especialy when his voice goes, like, double? I die.

i love the way he says ride with the rough r it sounds so good and the way the voice shakes in 'fucking' is fantastic

Your voice made me emotional

So i'm watching the grammy awards when suddenly: "Hey! I know this guy, OMG, thats Eli Lieb, the youtube cover man!!!". So glad for you, realy. Congratz from brazilian fans

I'm glad grammys brought me here

Eli, I feel like you should know that I am single

Honestly when I have nothing to do I listen to this all the time, because it's the best cover I've heard of this song

Yes! Exactly! When you're covering a Lana Del Rey song, its not about the technicality of the notes and how appealing your voice is, its about passion. Lana is the kind of the singer who sings from the depths of her soul. This cover is so amazing.

I was enamored with Lana's original, but I love your's even more, your inflections are so heartfelt, and it was a nice touch not to have looked directly into the camera, I felt I was witnessing something very personal.

Years later, I still come back to listen to this cover, truly the best KZfaq singer for Lana del Rey songs. Miss your covers, Eli!😗

It's not the same if you don't say DADDY

5 years later .... still my favorite cover of this song. 👌🏾👌🏾👏🏽👏🏽

2019 and I still come back to listen to this.

ive been listening to this song in the whole summer omg i cant get over it it touchs me deep inside..you're perfect

Boy you've given me goosebumps, you're amazing. X

My favourite Lana's song reinvented into perfection. Yep...can't find a single fault.

God! The first moment you went 'i hear the birds on the summer breeze' after that pause, my heart skipped a beat and melted. This cover is stunning!!!

this is literally the most beautiful thing I have ever heard

I'm living with your voice these days! Your voice gives me hope to continue! Just please never stop singing! :)

Congrats you, Eli. I saw your video on Grammy this morning. Your talent is recognized. Hope you win Grammy Awards soon. Love from Viet Nam.

I' m die hard lana but this cover is pure magic. eli you blend in such a depth of emotion and power. Its like we all rediscover ride all over again

I never usually never say any cover is better than the original, but this one sure comes close....

thats amazing imagine him siging it with lana

I really like this song,the way you sing it.actually, i watched this viedo hundreds of times. Lol.

Eli your voice sounds deeply intelligent and it obeys you and fills your head to toes, it shows and sounds. You would deserve a place among the top artists and I believe a voice like this can change the world. You touched me at the deepest of my soul.

the amount of times I've heard this cover is unaccountable. i love this cover so much 💖 my #1 lana cover

I know what I would like to Ride 😮👬😍

AMAZING VOICE!!!!! I am a big fan of Lana Del Rey! I LOVE depressing songs! ps now I am a fan of yours!

your voice cries out to the soul, its so warm and emotional with a lot of thought put into the vocals

I'm having a hard time believing I love a cover more than the original... holy fuck. This is beautiful and I seriously want to cry when you belt out and hold those beautiful notes. Seriously holy Hell this is amazing. Marry me? LOL

[Music video spoken introduction:] I was in the winter of my life, and the men I met along the road were my only summer. At night I fell asleep with visions of myself, dancing and laughing and crying with them. Three years down the line of being on an endless world tour, and my memories of them were the only things that sustained me, and my only real happy times. I was a singer - not a very popular one, I once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet, but upon an unfortunate series of events saw those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky that I wished on over and over again, sparkling and broken. But I didn't really mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted, and then losing it to know what true freedom is. When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing, how I'd been living, they asked me why - but there's no use in talking to people who have home. They have no idea what it's like to seek safety in other people - for home to be wherever you lay your head. I was always an unusual girl. My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean... And if I said I didn't plan for it to turn out this way I'd be lying... Because I was born to be the other woman. Who belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone. Who had nothing, who wanted everything, with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn't even talk about it, and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me. I've been out on that open road You can be my full time daddy, White and gold Singing blues has been getting old You can be my full time baby, Hot or cold Don't break me down I've been travelin' too long I've been trying too hard With one pretty song I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast, I am alone in midnight Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, But I, I've got a war in my mind So, I just ride, just ride, I just ride, just ride Dying young and I'm playing hard That's the way my father made his life an art Drink all day and we talk 'til dark That's the way the road dogs do it - ride 'til dark. Don't leave me now Don't say good bye Don't turn around Leave me high and dry I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast, I am alone in midnight Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, But I, I've got a war in my mind I just ride, just ride, I just ride, just ride I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy I'm tired of driving 'til I see stars in my eyes It's all I've got to keep myself sane, baby So I just ride, I just ride I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast, I am alone in midnight Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, But I, I've got a war in my mind I just ride, just ride, I just ride, I just ride

i love that sound when you shout "ride"

I've said this before, I know you're an independent artist and all, but you seriously deserve a record deal. You're what this music industry needs. You're voice is a gift from God. Perfect.

IS NO ONE GOING TO MENTION HOW HOT IT WAS WHEN HE CURSED? I legitimately replayed that line like 7 times because his gorgeous enunciation of "I'm tired of feeling like I'm f*cking crazy" (oh and that little quiver when he sang "fucking." SLAY QUEEN)

What a beautiful rendition of this song

cant beat the original but you can definitely keep up. nice

I love both Lana's original version and this cover, Eli you have an amazing voice, you hit those high notes in the exact moments when you say "I just ride" 👏👏👏

you're an amazing singer, your voice gives me chills and almost made me cry no joke !!

Amazing!!!! Grammys brought me here!!!

amazing music with amazing voice

the slight warble+grittiness in your voice struck me out, i am breathless and so upset that i'm only just now seeing this. you are incredible.

Grammys used an excerpt for Lana Del Rey nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album. So deserved!

Beautiful .. listen too Your voice .. You got such harmony in the song .. ☺👍

PERFECT VOICE!! AMAZING

Thank you so much for doing justice to this song. I have been scrolling down covers of Lana and this is what i find the best. 😃

I almost screamed when I saw this on the Grammys!!! :D

Vc e sua voz = combinação perfeita :))))

Essa versão é linda demais, coloquei como trilha sonora do meu Livro Só o tempo.

love love love!!!...everytime he sings "ride" I get goose bumps

Oh Eli Lieb I'm a fan!!!! I love when a artist bring their all and make a song their own. Excellent!!!!

Your voice is soulful... and beautiful!

You sing really nice, congratulations! I really loved it, and although that I'm kinda late (4 years) I hope you can see this :)

Your vocal range is very high omg. That husk and rasp is very orgasmic. I'm single btw

This song is beautiful and it really suits your voice!!!! Dont EVER stop singing!!!!

Eli Lieb, realmente espectacular, maravillosa voz. R*R..

You just won a Brazilian fan!

This is my fav song by Lana, I started listening and was like Yeah that's nice then the chorus came and I was just amazed! Wonderful voice you rock!

I am a huge Lana Del Rey fan, but I am in love with Eli's voice especially in this song. I dont even want to say how many times I've listened to it this week. I think Eli and Lana should do a duet, although I'm not sure I could handle beauty that would create.

You have beutiful voice. Greetings from Poland :)

Can you cover summer time sadness? It would be awesome.

for 5 days i'm just listening to this !!!!!!!!!!!! amazing voice, and lana's songs seems to be perfect for your voice

I honestly don't understand why you aren't bigger. You are by far one of my favourite singers right now. Just brilliant

very excellent cover, of such a great, great song

grammys!!

I am a massive fan of Lana and this is my favourite song of alltime,if i say you have done it justice then that would be a huge compliment....well done.

Amazing emotion, great power. I'm loving these covers.

You should try out for The Voice!!!

The whole aura is changed, simply from Lana's "not really care anymore and still strive to live" to his "striving hard to get back something leaving". Both are awesome, but in terms of the original lyrics, obviously his style is not that appropriate and applicable.

yup this is my favorite lana cover.

Your voice is amazing. When you sang "Just Riiiiide" I seriously got goosebumps. Amazing.

What does it matter what he sexual orientation is??!!? Seriously people should not be defined only by their sexual orientation. who care what he is. He is a very talented musician, and can sing.

Eli can u please do "God knows I tried " by Lana

I absolutely love Lana and her voice is incredibly unique, but you just gave me goosebumps...wow. Amazing!

This is still my favourite cover of this song, five years on

He kinda sounds like Florence & the Machine at some points

Please cover heart shaped box by nirvana

The greatest cover I've ever heard by 'Ride' so far

Why people like you don't enter any singing competitions will forever baffle me! You'd win!

Este cover es tan KSJKJKJSDKAHJKSDHS

Kinda irrelevant now, but would you cover Katy Perry's "Thinking of you"? That would make my life.

You know, It's Lana's song but this guy can show us how the songs she sings sound when you can actually do it. Well done...

I just can't stop watching/listening to this. SO GOOD.

I don't like that he changed daddy to baby in the first verse

this song symbolizes Clary Fray and Jace Wayland;(

And I thought Lana was the only singer that could make me cry.. you are amazing! xx

Great cover. Been watching all your LDR covers and I can’t express how really good your covers are. Such a powerful voice bro! 👍🏻👏🏻

Is he single/ straight because damn🔥

The comments section is so thirsty xD

THIS IS AMAZING I CANT HOW DID I GO SO LONG WITHOUT THIS I AM SO LOST NOW

Truly amazing!! why did I only just found this cover now?! So good!!

better than the original

Amazing cover and I would of hit the like button but didn't because he ruined the whole fucking thing by changing daddy to baby. Don't care if you're a man, woman, gay, straight or a fucking ostrich- don't change the words to a song for fucks sake. That daddy line is so iconic and true to Lana, fucked it all up ;-; (I probably care too much about stupid stuff lol)

I didn't know he covered this. I absolutely love this song,and his cover is superb.

i love your contemporary adjustments to the song
