  • I really wish there was a MP3 out there of this version. It is so fucking beautiful, it makes me cry.

  • There is one entitled "The Falconer (demo version)" with pretty much the same arrangement on the 2nd disc of double-cd collection "The Frozen Borderline: 1968-1970". At the beginning of it Nico even says "This song is already in a movie. It's beautiful". Check it out!

  • @scarymouch after reading that one day I went straight on amazon and bought it

  • @abacazabaca She says: "I am so tired." Then I think she says: "I will not betray". Then she continues: "I cannot... cannot live." "I'm afraid... of everything, of nothing, of everything." "Yes. Yes, I would like to." "I am lost." At least that's how I make it out.

  • Unique!

  • That song was made by Nico for Andy Warhol!

    So, I believe that 'father' was Andy...

  • Nico wrote this song in response to Solanas' shooting of Warhol., However the chorus "Father , Child, Angels of the Night" betrays a more primal issue of Nico-she came from a generation without fathers and so in a sense this prayer like chorus was in essence revealing Nico's own abandonment. And no this is not the version on "Frozen Borderline" and I expect is owned by Philippe Garrrel. It's heartbreaking and beautiful.

  • Exactly! I think this is the best version!

  • It is not the same vocal arrangement as any other of The Falconer. This for me is the definitive version of the song which proves Nico's mastery of songwriting in the folk avant garde mode without the help of John Cale.

  • Can someone please translate the French language in this clip?I'll be yr best friend?

  • Thanx for posting this movie

  • I have that compilation, but I dunno...I guess I just specifically want this one. Thank you for the suggestion though!
