No luck so far...

I have been tweeting Bastille a lot these past couple of weeks, and have had no response. As a result of this, I have decided to change my song choice. I have decided to use Bastille's cover of Lana Del Rey's song "Blue Jeans", as I have always been a massive fan of the original and I believe Bastille's cover does the song justice and creates a whole new tone/meaning to the song.

They change the original lyrics, so that the song is no longer from a woman's perspective as the lead singer is male. I have highlighted the lyric changes in bold:

Blue jeans, white shirt
Walked into the room you know I made my eyes burn
I was like James Dean, for sure
I'm so fresh to death and sick as ca-ca-cancer
I was sorta punk rock, you grew up on hip hop
But I fit you better than your favorite sweater, and I know
That love is mean, and love hurts
But I still remember that day we met in December, oh baby!

I will love you till the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears?
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember oh baby ooh
I will love you till the end of time

Big dreams, gangster
Said I had to leave to start my life over
You were like: "No please, stay here,"
We don't need no money we can make it all work."
But I headed out on Sunday, said I'd come home Monday
You stayed up waitin', anticipatin' and pacin' but I was
Chasing paper
"Caught up in the game" that was the last you heard

I will love you till the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears?
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember oh baby ooh
I will love you till the end of time

I will love you till the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that your mine
Baby can you see through the tears?
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember oh baby ooh
I will love you till the end of time

The cover song "Requiem For Blue Jeans" by Bastille was released as part of a free mix-tape called "Other People's Heartache" that the band promoted on their website and other social media sites. As the song is part of a free download, and I have no intention of using it to sell, I believe I will be able to use it for my video.

Here is a link to the song on the band's SoundCloud page:
