The final track on the final Velvet Underground album, this track reflects the somewhat more commercial orientation of the band. It was 1970, and the band’s reputation was virtually assured. Now, the record company wanted the band to produce a hit single, and apparently the band members agreed that some popular recognition would be nice.
(In fact, the record company had asked the band for an album “loaded with hits.” The band responded by titling the album “Loaded.” Godda love the wit.)
(Note 1: Lou had left the band by the time the “Loaded” album was released, so most of the music and vocals were performed by his replacement, Doug Yule. Still, this remains a Lou Reed song to its core.)
(Note 2: I could not find a copy of the original song on YouTube. Fortunately, there’s a great live version by Neil Young and a few others.)
Oh, Sweet Nuthin’, Neil Young and friends …
Lou Reed, Anthology of Memorable Lyrics.
Music is not just the food of love, it's also medicine to the wearied soul.
Well said, Mr Shakespeare!
It always amazes me how whenever I feel that I haven't had a particularly good day or I'm just feeling rather uninspired that it can all turn completely around in a wholey different, positive sort of way. By just truly listening to wonderful music performed by musicians who care tremendously for their craft.
Yes, and this vid is a prime example. I'd never seen or heard this cover until I researched for this post. Since I could not find a VU original, I kept looking, and came across this version. It is excellent, aint it?
yeah, it's excellent @majes.tytyty and a great mix of talent. Love MMJ and this song. Very close to the velvet's version.
A great song that can not be spoiled even by a disgusting video. I really like this genre of music. I call it a rock ballad.
The music is just despite a very conventional love and truely it touches the soul, well done mate and thank you for sharing this quality music with us.
Are you Lou Reed's Agent or just his biggest fan? :)
Anyway, I love him too so you have good taste in music.
Cheers
Just a long-time fan. And while compiling this series, I've realized he was even better than I had thought
