Lou Reed Lyrics-27 – The glory of love might see you through (from “Coney Island Baby”) (Now Playing Week 10)

in #nowplaying7 years ago

This pensive song is the title track of the eponymous album, which has been called “perhaps the most romantic album of Reed’s career.”  The entire album was apparently a love song to Lou’s girlfriend at the time. Similar to the Velvet’s third album, “Coney Island Baby”  has a more folksy sound than Lou’s other songs.

Higher friendship ...

The album also includes a version of the Velvet Underground track “She’s My Best Friend.” As expressed in various other tracks, the ideal love for Lou is friendship – albeit friendship of a higher order than we might normally think.   

... and the glory of love will see you through

It’s a friendship where “the glory of love” shines through, where “the glory of love” casts a better light on the “funny … circus or sewer” of the city, and where “the glory of love might see you through.” He’s certain that love will see you through any bad times that you might face.


Coney Island Baby, Lou Reed …

Nice tune, quite rare... Thanks for sharing @majes.tytyty...

I also did a small post featuring Lou Reed. Peace!

I'm glad you appreciate it. I'll check out your post now, and will definitely follow you ... and any other true Lou fan.

Also, I love the graphic in your comment. Is it yours? Can I "borrow" it? My Velvet posts are already finished, but I could use it if I make a new anthology of the entire series.

Sure @majes.tytyty just put a source link back to my blog and give credit! Put:

Sure, I've saved it in my Lou file, complete with the credit. And will use it when appropriate. Thanks!

Also, here's a link to my Lou "Waiting for the Man" post. Unfortunately, the vid has been removed from YouTube. But I guess you know the tune. https://steemit.com/music/@majes.tytyty/lou-reed-lyrics-8-white-boy-what-you-doin-uptown-from-i-m-waiting-for-the-man

Thanks for entering this week's #nowplaying!

AH! I didn't know this one. I will listen to it when I finish to work :)

I highly recommend taking a short break from work and listening to it now.

Or, just tell the boss that you have to go home now, cuz you have to read and listen to the great post about Lou Reed lyrics that @majes.tytyty just uploaded.

Tell him it's art, culture, literature, poetry. Tell him it can't wait.

Finally, now, I can listen to it.

Amazing lyrics😍

Amazing lyricist! Amazing musician! Amazing poet!

These are few of my favourite songs as well, and I thank you fo sharing it. It gives me flashbacks ♡

Hope this song also helps you to move beyond the flashback, and move "forward."
Cheers!
