To think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written?

[bootolou]

I mentioned my name change to a friend who completely accepts it.
If any of you don't know, i've changed it to Lou
She said 'Oh, like Lou Reed? I love him.'
After asking, she sent me this song...

Aibu to think it is one of the most loveliest songs i've ever heard? I almost cried

Definitely. Was it the first time you’d ever heard it? Better later than never!

Yes i'm in my thirties and have never heard of this Lou Reed!!! Is he fairly popular?

I must admit, I hate the Nico tracks on that album.

I'm Waiting for the Man, Heroin and There She Goes Again are truly brilliant, but the Nico tracks are dreadful.

Ooh I like this one!! He had a lovely voice

Pale Blue Eyes is my favourite Velvet Underground song

OP - are you saying this is your first ever encounter with Lou Reed?

Coldilox Pale Blue Eyes one of my faves. Not sure it's the very very fave.

Pale Blue Eyes. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

I believe he has a few fans

I know we can't all have heard of everyone but Lou Reed has been a worldwide known artist for decades

That blue eyes song is LOVELY

Andy Warhol is a brilliant album. I especially love Femme Fatale and Venus in Furs. Sunday Morning was my hangover song in uni.

bootolou innit!

Have you heard Lou Reeds original version of Perfect Day? You'll love it too, also heroin related

Sick Of You is my favourite Lou Reed song.

Big influence on David Bowie, back in the (my ) day. Ah, the 70s.....

Doesn't do it for me - found it boring and a bit vapid, but you'd probably hate my musical tastes

I like Vicious brilliant song!

you hit me with a flower.....

Perfect Day is Lou Reed's song. He wrote it in 1972.

Never been a great fan on this song sorry no where near most beautiful for me

Love Velvet Underground.

'Femme Fatale' was supposedly a swipe at Edie Sedgwick, and I think 'All Tomorrow's Parties' was too.

Meh.

Get Transformer OP such a great album. Surely you have heard of the song Walk On the Wild Side? Or even the phrase?!
By the way any Pixies fans?
"I wanna be a singer like Lou Reed
I like Lou Reed she said sticking her tongue in my ear..."

@bootolou
Heard of this?
