Pale blue eyes - Velvet Underground - Lyrics

[herfergom]

Marisa Monte's version is the best of.

[felicia7097]

happy.times..

[Xiethetuber]

i'd put you in a mirror i put in front of me

[BaileyEllisPhotos]

I wish I had blue eyes so I could feel like it's about me :)

[dunkinking]

this is the type of song that you have to listen to it multiple times in a row... once just doesn't do it justice... "thought of you as my mountain top, thought of you as my peak, thought of you as everything i've had but couldn't keep"

[OhMyItsAnAlbertan]

The Velvet Underground were way before their time. If they had appeared several years after they originally did, they would have hit it way bigger.

[happybanana23]

what the hell is adventureland?

[pobalex]

@happybanana23 A very good movie. This song was in its soundtrack.

[happybanana23]

@pobalex oh. thank you. i'll have to check it out.

[DestroZartan]

[chirotrel]

Favourite velvets...cheers and thanks!

[Openbaarmaker]

20 Dislikes? Must be because of that 'adventureland' thing. For those 20 souls, please go and dislike adventureland.... and of course; Linger oooooooooooonnn...

[Theblueberrymoon]

HELPPP!! I CAN'T STOP LISTENING! I'M ADDICTED!

[musicboy10000]

I like to hear this song with my girl while watching at her pale blue eyes, admiring her beauty, it is the best feeling i had have in my life :D

[RamboGambo100]

How could you dislike this????

[Rosalindxxxxxx]

doesn't matter if people are here 'cause of Adventureland or not. We should behere to enjoy the song, not to discuss about where from we know this song/band.

[N0PityForYou]

[tahuynhhuy]

[myrjer]

If you haven't heard the beautiful version yet put this song in the search with Emmy Lou Harris and Sheryl Crow. I can't stop playing it .

[eutwits]

[pepijnn7]

[LuizaXXI]

[okiram15]

thank you Fringe for introducing me to this beautiful song :) Ah Polivia :)

[homeboycid]

who the fuck disliked this song? why?

[bunup888]

girl I like a school told me this song reminded her of me because i have blue eyes and that i should check this song out but as I listen to this song now every fucking lyric reminds me of her this song is painfully beautiful and now I cant stop listening to it fml

[frutilie]

*-* ai ai

[vegetasrevenge]

To me it's just a beautiful song full of melancholy.

[shrutirouge13]

WTH is Miley Cyrus in the suggestions???



[WhenLinkAttacks]

The top comment disgusted me, why not just say its refreshing to hear non-gender specific love songs? no one cares if your gay or straight stop messing up society you people always ask to be normal then fit in, we don't go crazy about being straight so what gives you the right just because your gay ? we all accept you, but you don't need to tell the world.

[Amt2451]

@WhenLinkAttacks If "no one cares" then why did you flip out when you saw they were gay? Why did you say that gays are "messing up society"? Seems like you care a bit more than you think you do.

[popgunparadise]

@WhenLinkAttacks lemme guess you love the lord with all your heart? now your being a dick to some person u never met? rot in hell you basterd :)

[WhenLinkAttacks]

@popgunparadise stop living in fairytale land, if there was a heaven or a hell then there would be a god to answer are prayers but no one's really listening, i bet your the type to think the Egyptians built the pyramids loooool mug.

[TheBeatlesgirl66]

@WhenLinkAttacks Intolerance is messing up society, not people announcing that they're gay. Please be respectful. You must be balls deep in homophobia.

[WhenLinkAttacks]

@TheBeatlesgirl66 thats funny because im balls deep in your mother

[TheBeatlesgirl66]

@WhenLinkAttacks Considering my mother is a whore, it wouldn't surprise me. However, if you're going to be fucking my mom please get tested.

[xperezx7]

such a depressing song and yet i listen to it everyday

[hippiefaced]

i love this song but i sadly dont know whats it about...does anyone know?

[SirBalk13]

This is just... So... Orgasmic... So peacefull... So Velvet Underground...

[Alejochallange]

15 persons are colorblind :)

[Enzeroable]

i have a weird taste in music i like Nirvana, The Doors, The Animals, Bob Dylan, And The Velvet Underground........Like WTF..

[dunkinking]

@Enzeroable yeah i read this comment on a beatles song earlier... and thats not a weird taste in music... its a good taste... no negative energy please... and no one wants to hear you gloat that you listen to bands that are still above ground,... seriously... thanks for listening... but shut up... no one cares... just listen

[melenik53]

sometimes i feel so....

[melenik53]

some time a feel so...!!! 

[mark1952able]

you had to be there!..................the end.

[slugsucker]

Thanks for this with the lyrics.

[Rosalindxxxxxx]

i love this song

[PoeticCrayon89]

My Nana died this year and we played this at her funeral. She was the coolest Nana ever. She introduced me to Lou Reed, Bowie, Nina Simone, Hendrix.... I think the best part of the funeral was when the priest said "Ashes to ashes" and I spied quite a few people mouth "funk to funky."

[evilCookiez]

@PoeticCrayon89

man, that makes me want to cry from happy

[liveurlif12]

@PoeticCrayon89 we all know major tom's a junky...:)

[MrBackdoorman88]

@liveurlif12 lol wrong song, love bowie though.

[wolvez2]

@PoeticCrayon89 That's so sweet. R.I.P your Nana :) <3

[TheKrystalLake]

@PoeticCrayon89 Wow.. this is truly beautiful, and your name is very appropriate. I see why you have so many votes!

[justwonerds]

@TheKrystalLake now i gave him one

[justwonerds]

@PoeticCrayon89 this is so beautiful... yes, it is bummer song.. but sometimes makes me happy..

[ilikesqueegy]

@controlthebladder

nah bol

[Tordar95]

I find it annoying that Miley Cyrus is one of the suggestions...

[Eska0609]

@Tordar95 its annoying theres 200 million views...



[nithun4]

@Tordar95 The suggestions are based upon what type and genre you listen to... so you either listen to miley cyrus of similar material, me for example, I don't have MC as a suggestion.

[nulliification]

by Reed and dedicated to the now lost first love Shelley, may be a taste of what will be the solo career of singer-songwriter in New York

[misfits12o]

The band that inspired The Strokes!

[AnthonyTotheRescue]

@misfits12o They did, indeed! :) The Strokes are my favorite band, but I got to this song from Adventureland.

[WillieSlaterM]

Cold Case ... The Brush Man Anyone?

[TheLazything]

what a joke... miley cyrus is no1 in the suggestions bar.. wow

[MoikeOI]

when love fails, music succeeds.... pick up a guitar people....

[wistoncap]

This song was most helpful while trying to get over the demise of my first marriage.

[fockingclassy]

Abby

[MorderDM92]

ADVENTURELAND BROUGHT ME HERE!!!

[StirCrazyCalmness]

@ControlTheBladder listen to Sweet talk - Dear and The Headlights. Its a great non-gender specific song.

[troyst93]

lou reed <3

[Gamig822]

uploaded on my birthday.... that's so fuckin cool...

[usagold11]

thanks good song vu forever

[U2JoshuaTree1987]

well done!

[ArthurPudey]

Could someone explain the 4th verse? I don't understand it at all. "Skip a life completely..."

[imfrancesferret]

@ArthurPudey its saying how people often take a lot of things in life for granted, and when Lou broke up with the girl this song is about he said that he took her for granted, even though she was his whole life. Thus, he 'skipped a life completely" because he took her for granted.

[ArthurPudey]

@imfrancesferret Ok thanks. But I still can't get the 4th verse. Know all the words but still can't get it. Can you please rephrase or something?:) In particular what means "money is like us in time it lies but can't stand up."

[CharlesDangerfield]

Nice! This video has 333,333 views if I had OCD is be sooo pumped right now

[KingCarlAmari]

@CharlesDangerfield

Now it has 333,999. I have OCD am I am very pumped. :)

[blazermxc1]

[twi1parawhore00]

i got this from adventureland :]

[MariaNNaBoBos]

@twi1parawhore00 Same ;)

[blazermxc1]

lol caxxandra is right

[jons2575]

this is an old song, right?

[PlanTonto]

Thumbs up if your soul brought you here.

[blackrosewaterfall]

@PlanTonto Love is what brought me here, brother.

[mcallaci23]

this isn't a song you can just write, you need to experience something and it comes to you

[mmCait]

i've always known of this band but haven't really listened to them and im sooo glad i decided toooo cuz there amazing

[toddsmitts]

Thumbs up if you heard this at the end of a "Cold Case" episode.

[caxxandra2]

this is not a love song.

[xxxdavidshumakerxxx]

@caxxandra2 After just making music, I realized after playing a song for someone, or someone hearing it. It's not the same song to them as it is to you. So, yeah it isn't a love song. But i can see a love song. It's about a girl.

[airbag97]

Ma è così strettamente necessario menzionare quel cazzo di Bieber anche nei video dei Velvet Underground? Preoccupante. Perché mentre lo fanno pensano pure di essere i paladini della giustizia. Intanto non sono in grado di lasciare un commento prettamente musicale o al limite personale. Come me del resto, che in silenzio non pocco che limitarmi ad un inchino.

[tyciolstraight]

@airbag97 free

[kyla1394]

This is mine and my boyfriends song.<3



[Rain11November]

if I could make the world as pure and strange as what I see,

I;d put you in the mirror

I put in front of me......

[ESEMOSKOE]

i love this song

[TheCoverHeaven]

The song was inspired by Lou Reed's college sweetheart and muse, Shelly Albin, who indeed had pale blue eyes.

[batchie20002]

I heard this song was about anal sex.

[funnycarrot]

ADVENTURELAND!

[Kaaaaaattiiee]

@funnycarrot love the soundtrack on that movie :)

[tyciolstraight]

DUDE GT88 WORK.....CAN U PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO WITH THE MOVIE CLIPS OF GIRL NEXT DOOR AND THE SONG FROM SCORPIONS OBSESSION

[FungusMossGnosis]

@sabbath55767

Talking about The Biebs on a good music page is as relevant as talking about Harry Pooter. Give it a rest....

[TheCoverHeaven]

check a great cover by Paul Quinn And Edwyn Collins here: watch?v=sXksUX90BuM

[shannisfan]

peter and olivia <3

[PeteKillsBats]

@shannisfan Who the fuck are they?

[AliensexKitten000]

This song puts me in mind of him and his pale blue eyes, How very haunting they are to me.... and through out all our bullshit , How very in love Iam with him.

[B1llf]

Beautiful, beautiful song

[robbiep1331]

beautiful tune....

[s0uthernComf0rt]

he didnt have pale blue eyes, but i'll still always associate this song with that guy.

'it was good what we did yesterday, and i'd do it once again... '

[ControlTheBladder]

i'm gay, and it's refreshing to hear non-gender specific love songs. :}

[ChrisnSnoop]

@ControlTheBladder

No doubt. The story is, though, that Lou wrote this song for another man--I think a guy he'd met in Amsterdam (if I recall correctly). Just a tidbit.

[FuttBucker667]

@ChrisnSnoop No, the song's about his girlfriend from college. Her name was Shelly Albin I think. I don't know why everyone thinks it's about a guy. But I guess people can think that, it isn't specific.

[ChrisnSnoop]

@FuttBucker667

You sure about that? Hmm... Cool, thanks for the info.

[deewhyelayin]

@ControlTheBladder gay



[deewhyelayin]

@ControlTheBladder gay, i mean u ...not the song

[TheRebelOfTyrus]

@ControlTheBladder im straight, and its refreshing to hear non-gender specific love songs.

[tonyteb]

@ControlTheBladder WELL SORRY TO BREAK IT TO YOU BUT IT IS A GENDER SONG HELLO READ THE LYRICS LOL

[TheBeatlesgirl66]

@tonyteb Lou never says anything that would seem like he's talking to a chick or a dude. So, how is is not gender neutral. Did I or ControlTheBladder miss something?If it's the marriage thing at the end he could be talking to a guy that they are still best friends even though he is married and is starting a new life. Or he could be talking to a chick. I really don't see gender specific. Please enlighten me.

[tonyteb]

@TheBeatlesgirl66 marrige to a man back then umm i dont think so not very common (she said money is like us in time)

[TheBeatlesgirl66]

@tonyteb Okay, you're kinda stupid. Lou is singing to someone....why would he say "she" if he was singing to that person. He might be talking about his best friend, or his brother, about how they found someone to marry and "she said money is like us in time." That could be a woman entering their lives. This song isn't gender specific. I never said anything about the men getting married to each other. I said that Lou's friend could be getting married.

[ControlTheBladder]

@tonyteb Well, sorry to break it to you but using cap locks makes you look dumber than you already. 'She' is mentioned only once at

"She said, Money is like us in time,

It lies, but can't stand up.

Down for you is up."

That's not being gender specific. The most prominent pronoun is 'you' not 'he' or 'she'.

[sebastian189]

@ControlTheBladder you and 59 other fags just ruined this for me

[TheBeatlesgirl66]

@sebastian189 So much hate, how is it it's the year 2011 and intolerance is still around.

[TheBeatlesgirl66]

@ControlTheBladder I'm with you on that my fine friend. Oh, and unlike the others on here I don't give a flying fuck if you are gay. You seem like a nice person, and that's good enough for me.

[roberth1990]

14 people havent seen a pretty girl with pale blue eyes

[SexualKangaroo]

Always loved this song, always will. <3
