  • THANK YOU for posting this. My feeling is that this has got to be the greatest Nico cover ever because John Cale is himself as profound a musician as Nico was a composer of obscure and deeply haunting lyric.

  • Fantastic interpretation of a beautiful song.  This left me gobsmacked when I saw the documentary--I replayed it several times. Thanks so much for posting.

  • Thanks so much for posting this. I had it on favorites playlist and it was deleted by the member. I remember palying this section of Nico Icon over and over so many times!

  • 1,000 cycles, 1,000 cycles to come, 1,000 ways to win 1,000 ways to run the world in a similar reply. Pretty much sums it up. Love the performance by John Cale.

  • Frozen Warnings has a story dating back to when Nico during the bombings of Berlin went with her mother to her grandfather's house; he was a station master in the countryside and there little Nico saw the trains bringing the jews to the concentration camps and they waved to her from the loopholes smiling, not knowing their future and there was snow everywhere : this is the origin of the song.

  • I've just finished watching NICO ICON, and I'm reduced to tears. This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. Even if I never knew her, I love Nico, and I wish I could have done something for her. And I'm sure I will, one day.

  • John & Nico brought something very unique to the Velvet Underground that helped distinguish them from their contemporaries. It was the old-European, classical tradition and musical sensibility. At a time when a lot of European bands were modeling their sound after American acts like Elvis and Chuck Berry, here you had American rockers Reed and Morrison collaborating with these artists rooted in European classical music. And what a unique, bizarre, and wonderful sound it was.

  • A wonderful example of great musicianship, one of the most haunting songs iv e ever heard,only Cale could deliver such a superb version. To me,the dark days of nazism rips out of this song.

  • Sorry obscure Music,Nico? Idont think

  • its wonderful .
