With regard to Lou Reed, I like some of what he did with VU but a lot of his solo work is overhyped because of who he is. His recent performance on "Later" was dismal.
I always thought it strange that such an amazing album went straight to the bargain bins when it was first released. I've loved it since it was first released and it is still in my top ten albums of all time. If you find it hard to listen to then go back to X-Factor and manufactured pop music. Popular isn't necessarily good, and good isn't necessarily popular.
One of my favourite songs by Nico! It evokes many things for me and I love the lyrics- "now you see that only dreams will send you where you want to be..." that is so true. Great job with the video too; it was a very good idea, I like the clouds drifting by, it fits the mood very well!
There's so much raw, organic power in this entire album...one of those that so many people label "difficult", usually because they *hear* but don't *listen*.
Nico's album "'The Marble Index" is one of my all-time favorite albums. I consider it a classic. Every song is great, though deep and beautiful. I love it. I can't understand why some people say it is hard to listen to. The legend and her music will live on.
Nico's music was more beautiful, darker and sublime that the exceedingly overrated Lou Reed and Velvet Underground. Personally I prefer the harmonium version of this track that appears on "Frozen Borderline".
@SaintSanic Uhm.... no she didn't. Look it up. You'll see that she didn't write those songs and that she even complained about having little contribution to some of her albums (Chelsea Girl being one). I stick by my statement.
@JaackPat Nope, you're right. She did write the songs on this album. I confused this with Chelsea Girl. Glad to know because I prefer this album over Chelsea Girl. I do disagree that Nico's discography is more interesting than Lou Reed's, but of course it's just opinion.
at first i disliked her strong german accent, but that gives her a distinctive expression. for native english-speaking people it might sound very hard.
personally I think Patrick Wolf's cover version of this is better than this the origional. Just my opinion, on the subject of the song.
Yours is not only irrelevant as it has nothing to do with music but is also vulgar, and somewhat aggresive. They really need to ban people for comments like this, I'm sure they occasionally do but I still find them on almost every youtube video I watch. Why?
I kind of thought the comment explained that? Well, if it didn't this is what I want: For people to not make comments like 'patrick wolf can such my cock' I mean come on, if you don't like him or his music can't you express your opinion constructivly? Anyway I will stop posting now because it's filling this videos comments up with random nonsense really, when they should be about the video.
???????????? Nico is the best ! Don't you know the music ! P. Wolf is like Celine Dion, you cannot listen ? You are a stupid person, it's not serious ! Basta !

Born 1938; granted eternal life in 1988.
