Perfect day -- lou reed

[warrenkertland]

The video part of this video is a real bummer. But the rest is golden.

[JP1234Productions]

Heres the name of the Andy Warhol factory member that is not credited. SUPERDUDE

Superdude is still alive and playing music at nearly 70. He is the person standing right behind Andy in the photo on sonicbids.

It would be nice for him to get some recognition.

[MegaMolenga]

che bel pezzo....

[djhailon]

Love the piano and strings section...

[elo333333333]

Lou was one the of the most original acts of the 70's, fuck off if you don't like him or think he copies Bowie.

[louisvillelamb]

NIce day here in Louisville, Kentucky. Ready for the big thaw!

[Clifcar]

I apologize for my earlier comment. classic song well sung.

[Marantzino]

Ok, it's a gloomy song but good!

[jbri1]

@Marantzino I don't think it's gloomy at all, I think it's glorious.

[khunt5000]

"Hey babe take a walk on the perfect day"lol.

[Syl0fad3]

"You made me forget myself."

[mucocele]

you make me forget my self i thought i was some else.. someone good.. "amazing"

[MrPieter1231000]

perfect not only on this day but every day\jp

[Clifcar]

Is Lou Reed a giant douche or a turd sandwich for not allowing Susan Boyle to sing his song at America's Got Talent. Please sign in and voice your opinion. Or you can write in your own description. Personally I think he is a smelly asshole.

[ZooropaTV]

@Clifcar He wrote the song, I say good on him. Those TV shows leech off the writing skills of quality artists solely so they can reap millions in profits from advertisers and the like. Why don't the people appearing on it write they're own songs, then they can be considered artists, rather than just professional Karaoke Singers

[Voltara]

@Clifcar Sir, Lou Reed can do anything he likes. I wish he could ban the whole show. As the song is about taking heroin a laughable creation of the mass market like susan boyle singing it would simply be an insult

[savannah1363]

@dtbails oh yea, totally

but then again if everything is meaningless then it all has meaning...

[dartmonkey1]

This song is so good.. It just keeps me hangin on :)

[ed2371996]

great song but i think y'all should check out a band called orange they do a cover of this and it is great. :D

[acadx]

@countpopeula91

what you said there is fucking really touching

i am so glad i read it

[ethermonkey222]

@countpopeula91 your comment helped me loads, as did Lou's song, thanks.

[paldengyatsosfriend]

clasic

[TheKaraTekir]

oh;, such a perfect day..

[Vernardow666]

In fact,this song doesnt talk about a Romantic-Cute-Date it talks about being high with cocaine... sorry : /

[sekhmetraptah]

@Vernardow666 double entendre devoted to those that cause us to run screaming into the night & beyond. consider black angel of death, a 60's take on russia, the ghost bloodied country; esp with the mention of g.t. miasnikov

[shanereel]

Jo I still miss you so much

[MrLosthighway09]

just a romantic day

[iphose]

Lou Reed haaaaaa Lou Reed... Vive le velvet underground <3 <3

[ZamoranoRafael]

Tenemos muchos por delante

[bigbadreddog]

What I want played at my funeral is Kylie's I should be so lucky LOL

[pinworms70]

@bigbadreddog I like this song, but as far as funerals go...I want AC/DC's Highway to Hell cranked loud. :D

[ramoneschick1]

Its a nice song!, very peaceful!

[SuperBozel]

Juste Géniale!!!

[MsHeartOnFire]

A great song!

[brood2010]

zo mooi!!

[Cordero787]

Que preciosa es esta cancion :)

[crilory123]

bello

[ivymercer]

classic thx lou

[ramsthepoet]

wonderful video

[VETOU15BIN09]

About heroin, I would like to say it's more about death and of course life that this text is speaking, and it is just great to be able to face your real friends, both of them, poetically and deeply like Lou does it with this song.

Anyway, talent is talent, and this song is great because behind the words anybody, everybody sees and understand what he wants, it is universal considering a real and passionned relationship with any....

[maidenaust]

Joe Beyolkupeterson did a sweeter job than this

[fart1001]

today i lost you

[snappyjoe90]

Jeremiah "if you seek me (the Lord) with all your heart you will surely find me" CS Lewis, the author of the Narnia Chronicles wrote - "if after having read what Jesus has to say about himself in the gospels, one has either to put him on an equal level to a man who says about himself he is a fried egg or alternatively bow down before him as Lord and Saviour and God - and that it is not really fair to his words just to say he was a good teacher and a good man.

[Voltara]

@snappyjoe90 listen you submoron, This is not about Jesus and your miniscule penis. I would rather see viagra spam than jesus spam. Get yourself a girlfriend and get over it.

[countpopeula91]

this is me.. drugs and even people arent much more than distractions from sorrow and meaningless emptiness.. when youre all alone theres no escape.. this song helps though.. thanks lou i know youve been there too

[ethermonkey222]

@countpopeula91 I stumbled on your comment, and thank you , it helps.

[ethermonkey222]

@countpopeula91

[sueskins]

@countpopeula91 gosh, you described this song perfectly

[papakipotamias]

great song, great artist!!!

[morrisribadeo2]

is about heroin

i ll never get tired of say it

[morrisribadeo2]

my best friend,a cigarrete

my girlfrienf,the needle

[morrisribadeo2]

IS ABOUT HEROIN

PERIOD

[DARKnDODGY]

how many songs do u know that are only about one thing...

[VETOU15BIN09]

None !

Like when reading, an infinite space opens its self, that just concerns you and nobody else- there are no subjects, just people, nature and art.

I agree with you.

[ivanthecuddly]

So much emptiness in this song,how he wishes his life never took that path,i love it!

[mrcannabis94]

how is this song not 5 stars?

[doggsshit]

Let's blame the Jonas brothers!

/Fail attempt at humor.

But a great song none the less.

[flyby7a]

@mrcannabis94 BECAUSE YOUTUBE REMOVED THE STAR RATING SYSTEM.. :O(

:O(:O(

[acupunk74]

One of the saddest songs ever...you'd never know it unless you listened...

[abuseforapie]

How is this a sad song?

[TheUndergrnd]

watch trainspotting, then relate the fact that lou reed and all them dudes were junkies. then maybe you can start to put together that no junkie ends up wanting to be a junkie. but gets trapped because heroin brings the only comfort left in life

[coldironhands1]

it's true, heroin is your life heroin is your wife

[sueskins]

i had a good perfect day today too -- my pom, Lola Belle, got to the Dr.'s and she is fine and all fixed up

[coldironhands1]

i want to fix up

[MrEmiXaM]

c trop dla merde!!! xDDDDDD

[nage83]

My day was perfect today!!!

[Hasjiesman]

Perfect night I,m glad I spent it with Ileana!

[julianocorleone]

Just a perfect SONG

[fcsdx]

master piece!

[lamoscanocturnalulu]

juast a perfect day ...

[Nathey15]

little bit depressing for a funeral haha

[BRUSHYSURFING]

barefoot is better!!

[aaronbygrace]

he not talking about a relationship with a person but with heroin. this is a song about being addicted to heroin hence youre going to reep just what you sow

[thesmogmankills]

it is one of his very best songs dark meanings but amazing song a pure classic

[BarEnFaroth]

Dude, he is actually singing about his drug addiction and overcoming it.

So .. no it's not just about a day. :P Look into it mate.

[MrGalippo]

meravigliosa canzone

[TheAngryengineer]

Depressing? Guess you never saw Nico?!

I think it's poignant rather than depressing.  Sort of sleepy and gentle.

[henw00d40]

depressing!!!??? wot are you lot on? this is one of his altermate hits. its actually for his loved one and its about 30 or 40 verses long, he is a frinkin poet man. only the most amazing man in musical history!!!

[thesmogmankills]

if you knew anything about MR Reed you would know its about his heroine addiction which he freely admitted not about love he tells all about it in many interviews that thats what this song is about not love

[nobulusP]

It's just a nice tune right up there with Fly me to the moon and Heartbreak Hotel

[magpieeye]

It;s about Love, his love for the heroin!

[CatFlashBlue]

wow this is a really depressing song. is that what he was going for, you think?

[levelate]

i think he was going for the feeling of drug addiction, its a perfect day, because you got your drugs,however, drug addiction is a problem that should not be celibrated......thats just my 10 cents

[watereyesbutterfly]

such a peace and quite day could be only after h... and then problems left alone...

I find this song terribly truth and sad because this next day after such a perfect day is always the worse day in your life

[CatFlashBlue]

I say where we have drugs right now is good. Against the law, but still attainable. So people can choose for themselves and decide if it was a mistake or not...

[barbh1]

Nice pictures of people walking. I like it!

[soccerboy617]

this song is so good it BLOWS MY MIND

[froglovesnoone]

oh its such a perfect day, I'm glad I spent it with you

[dcnola]

this song always reminds me of Trainspotting.

[twinPeaksable]

Me too...one of my favourite songs, one of my favourite movies.

[spammachine]

Was going to type similar myself...

[specialska47]

Love that movie. It's a great book too

[tamelanj]

lou reed's music has been an important part of my life since i was in my teens, and i have the highest level of respect for his art, and especially for his bravery. this song is one of the most moving, melancholy, and yet joyous things i've ever heard. i love you, lou.

[iamjesusphish]

as a fellow recovering heroin addict... wow... this song describes it perfectly... word

[jasonithompson]

I'd listen to this after a shot, to parapharse a famous book "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times" WORD "STAY OFF THE GEAR" keep it up iamjesusphish(fuck those demons)

[TheUrbantribal]

perfect song

[ThatMiserableCat]

Yes, you're so right, with 2 words. The Brevity and Sincerity. Well put!

Love,

Your Pal,

Fluffy

[freegadflyathome]

amazing, I love the video too

[yesterday120988]

my favourite song, makes me forget myself...

perfect song oh such a perfect song just keeps me hanging on

[babybrendathebest]

just a perfect day, just a perfect song.

[tydaug]

remember Trainspotting?

[fierymrjingles]

the favourite film of my childhood , put it this way it kept me off smack. but what a story and song.

[fesse235]

merci mllecam je ne me souvenais plus dans quelle film j'avai pu enntendre cette chanson

[mllecam]

La chanson du film "le dernier jour du reste de ta vie" quand Robert Duval meurt... Très émouvant...Perfect song!

[ae83jv25]

So, so, ......... dont know.......Lou reed

[shatanico]

Just a perfect song.

[germanalien]

song not some.

[germanalien]

This some is about heroin... beautiful, but actually incredibly sad.

[kronik191]

this song is a story about a trip mst probably

swnds pre awesome

[s0olid]

I love this song, and I love the fact that most of the people doesn't know what it's about.

[Paneuropax]

share your wisdom though ;)

[magpieeye]

yeah i know...

[dfariq]

i thought it was about taking smack

[998poggy]

a beautiful song- i found it very moving. there's a deep yearning in his voice - a bittersweet wistfulness. the song has a whole new meaning for me now and i'll forever associate it with you.

[enagyb]

I love you...

[rotkrullen]

In celebration of all the perfect days we have had and all the many more to come.

[Surfanimal1990s]

what a genius Lou is,just gotta dig his stuff.

[bubbsoldschool]

this song was written about a trip Lou made to Edinburgh.He was staying in London and just hopped on a train and got off at the end of the line which just happened to be Edinburgh.He wrote it in Holyrood park which is where the Queen stays when she is in Scotland.

[leedsmanc]

Just hopping on a train to Edinburgh would have cost him around £100, after being on a train for eight hours he would have spent most of the day trapped in a small carriage in uncomfortable seats before ending up surrounded by Scottish people. The title of the song should have been "WTF did I do that for?"

[Paneuropax]

Thx m8 for making me laugh loudly before I have to spent another day not drinking sangria in a park with a laid back hippie chick but working.

[holmsatlarge]

the trains have walkwaysgoing from end to end.you aren`t exactly tied to your seat.you can visit the club car en route.

[idk3451]

i agree. doesnt matter whatever age you are, its a good song end of

[Bilsabob]

stop ruining a perfectly swell song about heroin with your whiny voices

[availabilityzag]

you knob!! this aint bout smak you bin watchin train spotin. he did a song bout heroin an guess what? he call'd it heroine!!!! this song is what it is....

[Bilsabob]

yea i have seen train spotting. however i have also read a few books in my life and if you care to look it up you will find it is about heroin and Lou reeds song about Heroin is actually called Heroin. This song is what it is, and it IS a song about why because of heroin he will ruin his relation ships (you make me forget my self etc) Now calm down and look it up friend

[MlaJak]

Lou Reed never concealed his drug use, he made many songs where he says about his addiction. This song is about a woman. You can interprete song whatever you want, thats the beauty of poetry, but if you read a few books you would know that relation ship is not wriiten like that and

This song is what it is, and it IS a song about why because of heroin he will ruin his relation ships

read once more what you wrote and tell me if it has any meaning (about why because????)

[Bilsabob]

eat my balls and read a book you noob

[rammsteinforlife]

Go watch Trainspotting a 'lil more pls ^^

[etpamo]

I am an Illuminati and I will ruin your life, deagla. Be carefull about what you say. Some things must be kept hide.

[DaniloLazio1900]

Perfect day Ka'

Lol....

[katerinaCQ]

Yeah, it was a perfect day ! I hope it will be again...

[neo23dco60]

just fine tune..................

[AnubisEvalyna]

This is the proof, shows how many kids are on youtube. They all know this song from Trainspotting.

All they do is listen to one type of music and then get to know some culture from a movie.

Don't get me wrong, I like both the song and the movie.

I just don't like kids belonging to groups. The world is free, explore everything and don't be uptight. Get to know different types of music, cultures, countries, ...

[muquinhas]

kids cant do it by themselves. People who have the power to teach them are the ones who are childish and stupid.

[HartelozeKlootzak]

what a whiny son of a bitch, just listen to the fucking song, and watch the movie and shut the hell up.

[iwantwatermellon]

I'm 15, do I count? I know a lot of "kids" my age, well a good few, who like this type of music. I have to half agree and half disagree with you. It sure would be a lot easier to do so if WEA or whatever stopped taking down all original videos. :P Plus, I don't think the man wants us exploring. What if a whole generation never learned how to explore? Yikes.

His voice reminds me of David Bowie.

:)

Nice feeling.

[guarani527]

oh good. a 15 year old that has the world figured out.

[HartelozeKlootzak]

that means theres more you don't know, than things you do know.

[Missinggo]

Hahaha, I believe it's "Oh good, another 15 year old that has the world 'figured' out."

[stamatis53]

You know Lou Reed and David Bowie worked together for some time?

[iwantwatermellon]

I didn't but  their music sometimes reminds me of the other. They're both cool :)

[merryberry21]

vocally he delivers this amazingly

with true power and beuty

[LeM0njui3c3]

this song came out in trainspotting

HAHAHAHA xD yeah!!

[Jnitoo]

yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a perfect day

[loveyoutodeathbut2]

This song chills you right out, you notice?

[yuriyaoilove13]

isn't this song about drugs??

[jo4nny]

aren't they ALL about drugs?

[0987765432A]

[teuvothebest]

[remusa105]
