I love this song. Recently lost my wife of forty years. She had blue eyes, but they were not pale. They were as blue as a beautiful sky on a cloudless day.

So much truth in his music. The "dirty" side of life, the pain... the pleasure. We all have it, we all feel it... but Lou put it out there, plain as day. No shame, just being human, just... being. Thank you Lou Reed & RIP

Yes, he did change the lyrics on purpose. He wasn't one for living in the past so if he was going to play his old songs, as classic as perfect as they are, he wanted to change them since he was an everchanging human being...Truly an artist and a poet in every sense - Lou, the best.

I fell in love with this song when I first heard it as a wounded teenager (weren't we all once?) - now I am closer to the age at which he died, and hearing this recording in his older, matured voice - the Lou Reed on the other side of Magic and Loss - just reaches a depth I can't even find words for. Beyond beautiful. Thank you, my old friend 💕🪄✨

some songs just perfectly capture the moment when you fall in love. I believe this is one of them. Mr. Reed more or less saved my life back in '75, He has always sung about love, in all it's different forms. I don't believe that in my lifetime , we will see another like him, or Mr. Leonard Cohen, or Mr David Bowie. Enjoy the music, y'all! God is good. thank you, gz

His voice, really beautiful, one might try but that voice is not imitable, the timing of the words, each one, is really perfect and meant by him to be the way they are. Can listen to this over and over, love the guitarist and the drummer and of course the bass player too. Wonderful that Lou has such an equal in the latter part of his life, an artist and intelligent and as kind as he was also, someone who cares about you for real, what is there better than that.

If you think Lou reed got the words wrong your clearly not a velvet underground fan. Lou is all about being raw and in the moment. Most of there songs you can find different versions of released on different albums of theirs. This is clearly is his version for that day with what feelings he had at that moment, a much less poppy version than the original, but ALL Lou

Lisa, Not starting an argument here, just stating the facts. You do realize that some of the lyrics (in addition to the melody) are slightly different than the album version. That is OK though, it is what makes live performances special. If all you wanted was how it was on the album, then throw the CD on and listen to that. Something special about Lou playing live is he always made it a unique performance.

I used to wonder why the Lou Reed and the Velvets were such an influence to so many others - for those of you who still do, listening to this song will cement any doubts... It is said that not many people bought Velvet records, but the ones that did, started bands... When I heard REM cover this song on Dead Letter Office, I almost pooped my pants at its beautiful sound - I picked up the electric guitar and never put it down. Thanks Lou, linger on.
