Lana Del Rey covers Daniel Johnston’s ‘Some Things Last a Long Time’

Lana Del Rey has covered a Daniel Johnston song as part of a new short film - titled ‘Hi How Are You Daniel Johnston’ - based around the singer-songwriter’s career.

A crowd-funded project - which Lana and Mac DeMarco have contributed to - its trailer comes backed with a Lana Del Rey cover of ‘Some Things Last a Long Time’.

Director Gabriel Sunday had this to say about the film: “What ensued during shooting was beyond anything our crew could have hoped for. Daniel not only opened up and told stories none of us had ever heard, but embraced and relished the idea of speaking with his younger self, gifting advice and warnings from the future. That became the backbone of our script.”
