Lyrics:
"My heart is empty
But the songs I sing
Are filled with love for you"
A man said that to me
That's how I know
Sometimes love it does not show
Sometimes it does not even know
There is no witness to my anger
When it stabs until he dies
I am looking for the strangler
To help me, help me with my crime
Show me the way to warning
Warning for the morning light
I will stab it with a knife
The blinding sun
The heartbeat for the time to come
The honesty
That lies to you
My heart is empty
But the songs I sing
Are filled with love for you

Nico (born Christa Päffgen, 16 October 1938 - 18 July 1988) - fashion model, actress, and Warhol Superstar renowned for both her tenure in The Velvet Underground and for her work as a solo artist. Her signature instrument was the harmonium.
Exploding Plastic Inevitable
In 1965, Nico met The Rolling Stones' guitarist, Brian Jones, and recorded her first single, "I'm Not Sayin'" for Andrew Loog Oldham's Immediate label.
Actor Ben Carruthers introduced her to Bob Dylan in Paris that summer. Dylan wrote the song "I'll Keep It With Mine" for her shortly afterwards.
Nico began working with Andy Warhol and Paul Morrissey on their experimental films, including Chelsea Girls, The Closet, Sunset, and Imitation of Christ after being introduced by Bob Dylan.

Her debut album, 1967, Chelsea Girl, Nico recorded songs by, among others, Bob Dylan, Tim Hardin, Jackson Browne and Velvet Underground members Lou Reed, John Cale and Sterling Morrison, co-writing with Reed and Cale one song; It Was a Pleasure Then. The album included A Eulogy for Lenny Bruce.
JACKSON BROWNE - These Days
BOB DYLAN - I'll Keep It With Mine
Chelsea Girl is a folk album, with strings and flute arrangements superimposed.
The Marble Index, released in 1969, Nico herself wrote the lyrics and the bare bones of the music. The arrangements were by John Cale, who fleshed out Nico's songs with an array of classical instruments.
Nico released two solo albums in the 1970s: Desertshore (1970, again produced by John Cale) and The End (1974, co-produced by Cale and Joe Boyd). Cale played most of the instruments on these records. Nico wrote the music, sang, and played the harmonium. The End also featured Brian Eno on the synthesizer, who also performed on the live album June 1, 1974 with Nico, Cale and Kevin Ayers.
On 13 December 1974, Nico was the support act at Tangerine Dream's infamous concert at Reims Cathedral in Reims, France. The Roman Catholic Church ordered the rededication of the cathedral and banned future performances on church property.
Nico returned to New York in late 1979 where her concert at CBGB in early 1980 was glowingly reviewed in the New York Times. She began playing regularly at the Mudd Club and other venues with Jim Tisdall accompanying her.
Nico recorded Drama of Exile, in 1981 with John Cale and featured a mixture of rock and Middle Eastern arrangements. She recorded Camera Obscura in 1985 with John Cale as producer with The Faction; James Young and Graham Dids. That featured Nico's version of the Richard Rodgers/Lorenz Hart song, "My Funny Valentine".
A number of Nico's performances towards the end of her life were recorded and released; 1982's Heroine, 1986's Behind the Iron Curtain and Live In Tokyo, and her final concert, Fata Morgana, recorded on 6 June 1988, extracts were also released on Hanging Gardens.
Nico was buried in her mother's plot in Grunewald Forest Cemetery in Berlin.

Tout simplement subjugant d'hypnotisme... Une musique de l'ailleurs, de l'étrange et de la possession.
