Digital FORT: Brian Fallon deftly covers Lana Del Rey’s “Happiness is a butterfly”

Brian Fallon and Lana Del Rey come from two different, semi-fictional Americas. Fallon’s is a hardscrabble New Jersey where Bruce Springsteen is constantly playing from the tinny speakers of every beat-up station wagon on the block; Del Rey’s is an Art Deco Hollywood populated by cocktail-drinking depressives who have grown tired of the constantly flashing lights. They have always shared a knack for dramatic balladry though, and Fallon’s deft, home-recorded piano cover of Del Rey’s Norman Fucking Rockwell standout “Happiness is a butterfly,” submitted exclusively for Digital FORT, is proof.

Digital FORT is a two-day event bringing together over 100 artists to help raise money for those hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. To find a full list of charities, funds, and resources we’re highlighting throughout FORT, click here.
