And something flickered for a minute and then it vanished and it was gone - you never flickered Lou - you burnt brightly and flamed out of this existence into the next! Thanks for many memories Lou!
I had the "New York "album in vinyl, How many times did i listen to it !!! It has been lost and i've got the c.d. now. This song is a "SuperLouReedSong" . thank you for posting this !
Thank you kindly. I guess if I still remember Julliette, there must be a little crack in that ice wall somewhere. Truth be told, she broke my heart so badly, I never did find all the pieces to put it back together and I'm sure I never will. I'm at peace with it and wish her well, where ever life took her.
I moved on, then again, and again and again... I'm dating a pretty sweet chick now, only time will tell what the future holds. She's definitely breaking some walls down. As far as pointing fingers go, neither of us was to blame, just time, growing apart and wanting different things. Sometimes you just outgrow each other.
gracias a Lou tuve una época donde me convertí en escritor y poeta clandestino, y me la creí, jajajajaja Soy pintor y no tan clandestino, gracias Lou, donde quieras que estés!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MUniEK
@tappacappa lucky girl that you are one of the few people who know about this genious music at the age of 15! it took me 22 years to discover it.... blame my parents!
Lou Reed is a cynical, cranky old man, with a jaundiced view of the world & his fellow man; he wants to be like a jazz-singer who doesn't repeat himself & ruins all his old songs when he sings them nowadays; & he never quite got over the fact that he wasn't a R&R poet/idol in the 60s like another Jewish, curly-haired musician who started out in New York like him, named Bob Dylan. Apart from that he's one of the best songwriters ever, an underrated guitarist, & the coolest icon, legend & genius..
This is such a great video....Lou really shows his skills here...and he's just so cool...may he ride eternal, all shiny and chrome...and thank you for posting
Poetry. "something flickered for a minute...then it vanished and was gone" A fantastic commentary on maybe how much crap floats abouts in clear water. Me i just listen to the bass and nod along. Genius.
Beautiful ! Soooo agreed !....NEW YORK (the album) gets somewhat forgotten out there,...and it slides into my 20 approx. of all time! Last Great American Whale, Hold On ! and basically it all !
There's a video version called "David Sanborn & Lou Reed Dirty Blvd", another great better live then on record version of his song Dirty Boulavard. Its footage from a concert put on for Lou Reed's B-day. Great sound if you've never seen it. Cheers!
heart broken. you've gone now and nothing good is coming to replace you. if I feel like this, lord knows how Laurie must be feeling. I listen to the velvet underground everyday. spent hour crying listening to sweet jane & candy says. Lou, thought you'd be here forever. Say hi to Nico & Andy for us all, please. Sleep well
Lou Reed stopped doing speed in the late 70s. He got into drinking. The first time that he was quite clean was when he did Growing Up In Public in 1980, and he put on a bit of weight. See videos from that year and check The Power Of Positive Drinking on Growing Up In Public or The Last Shot on Legendary Hearts (1983)...
I can't tell -- is the audio ahead of the video, or behind it? Or does it switch from shot to shot? Are they even doing the same song? . . Not that I'm complaining, mind you; I'm just shutting my eyes and listening to the brilliance....
I've listened to Lou Reed since I was a kid. I saw him live. Never knew he was a toothpick guy. The way he's got it tucked in his mouth makes me wonder if he had one in his mouth when I saw him. In my defense I was pretty trashed. I don't think he was.
@colleenboye THANK YOU, Thank You, Thank You!!! I always wondered what was written on the little NYPD decals on the cop cars---now I know!!! New York was Lou Reeds's finest Non VU LP. What is amazing is that he gave his sweet BRONX CHEER to NYC with only two guitars and a base!!! I qoute Lou Reed every chance I get "GIVE ME AN ISSUE and then GIVE ME A TISSUE and I WILL WIPE My ASS ON IT!!! Hey LOU, Chill out, Dude. What they do? Tow yer car AGAIN? Shoulda taken da subway!!!
Thanks, just looked it up, I can't believe I fell for a hoax that happened in 2001, lol, and haven't discovered the truth in the 12 years since. Well now I'm really excited at the prospect of still seeing Lou live somewhere if I'm lucky enough!!!

One of the wittiest songwriters of all time!
New York is one of my favorite Lou Reed albums. Love this song.
Lou Reed's lyrics are so dam real.
Always loved the guy very timely post I used to rock to it when it came out in New York in Boston in Ohio and at Tenkiller Lake rest in peace Lou

Hmm. On my second cassette tape copy. Yeah his very unique version of talk singing
ain't gettin' no cooler than lou - and the likes...
I lost my Julliette many moons ago, hope someday the ice wall around my heart melts and I can feel again...
Beautifully phrased I must say
Thank you kindly. I guess if I still remember Julliette, there must be a little crack in that ice wall somewhere. Truth be told, she broke my heart so badly, I never did find all the pieces to put it back together and I'm sure I never will. I'm at peace with it and wish her well, where ever life took her.
MurderSquad247
Well, good look with melting the ice away
If you keep romanticizing the girl that broke your heart you'll never get over her.
Point fingers and move on
I moved on, then again, and again and again... I'm dating a pretty sweet chick now, only time will tell what the future holds. She's definitely breaking some walls down.

Thanks Uncle Lou for so many magic moments
gracias a Lou tuve una época donde me convertí en escritor y poeta clandestino, y me la creí, jajajajaja

MUniEK
cambió nuestras vidas
That bass...il basso che dondola..boing boing boing...wow. The way verses are delivered, guitar. All perfect
Oh hey
Thats me
Hi former me
His brutal honesty brings tears to my eyes.
La mejor versión que he oído de esta canción maravillosa......Un ritmo y una cadencia geniales......
Wish Lou was round to help me with my Romeo and Juliet essay due in tomorrow. He's always come round and help me out, back when.
And he'll do it again
I swear
(:
❤
Our Lou has a way with words, it's magic. Once you hear this, you never forget it.
Beautiful Song Great Album
Simple and catchy rhythm, poetic lyrics, late 80's hair. Triple threat.
i adore this version and remember when when this was aired on VH1. i was 20 then!
@tappacappa

Aside from Dirty Blvd. and New York Telephone Conversation, this is mt favorite Lou Reed song! Great melody!
Remember Great American Whale. Then that ocean guy was seen off New England Coast sometime ago this year
Toothpick in the mouth. Yep, that's Lou. Keep rockin' NY man!
Pretentious.
'Something flicked for a minute, oh then it vanished and was gone' beautiful last line.
pretty sure it flickered man ....but yes great line
Best live version
This is such a great video....Lou really shows his skills here...and he's just so cool...may he ride eternal, all shiny and chrome...and thank you for posting
Thnx 4 all that music dear man. He, he, he...a toothpick in his mouth on this performance.
Sentirei muita saudades desse cara. Um abraço e vai com Deus, Lou!!!
I have always appreciated Lou Reed.❤❤❤ Still do!❤
Como amo este tema que grande fuiste Lou❤❤🌷🎼🎼🎼
Whenever I feel really depressed, I put Berlin on, and it cheers me right up. :)
New York is an awesome album and Lou is the man
Oh Lou... we love you.. you cool NY cat!
Wow, as big a fan as I am reaching back to Transformer I like being able to see something new by him. Romeo had Juliet.
Der Song ist einfach nur cool! SUPER!!!

I swear, new york is the best cd for you car radio.
I was just listening to a record called “songs in the key of life” what life is that? This sounds more like life to me.
Song in the key of life is a song/album by Stevie Wonder. Good stuff too.
@@fauxtaux You mean good music, well compose and executed, etc. I mean ,this sounds more like real life.
keeps me sane...thanx
doesnt get much better than this- - Louuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!
Great album...
Indeed!
thanks for putting this up. I love this song.
I'm hear waaay too often lol.... I'll be back, .. soon.

Legend, rip Lou. I love this version.
one of my favorite Loo Reed songs
a bloody impudent genius
There's a video version called "David Sanborn & Lou Reed Dirty Blvd", another great better live then on record version of his song Dirty Boulavard. Its footage from a concert put on for Lou Reed's B-day. Great sound if you've never seen it. Cheers!
ONLY Louuuuu!!!!
With love!!
i love this song too !!
love lou reed, always will. ged from loyal.
there really is such a thing as the coolest song in the world, and this is really it. no, really. lou reed is the julius caesar of punk.
Lou Reed looks so uninterested, I love it
heart broken. you've gone now and nothing good is coming to replace you. if I feel like this, lord knows how Laurie must be feeling. I listen to the velvet underground everyday. spent hour crying listening to sweet jane & candy says. Lou, thought you'd be here forever. Say hi to Nico & Andy for us all, please. Sleep well
nice ... you are welcome back any time :)
such a style !!!
how awesome can a rock song get? wow!
"That cop who died in Harlem, I hope they get the warning, I was laughing when I saw his brains roll out in the street." FTP
Hell yeah....a good cop is a dead cop.
Great Lou
RIP LOU love you
love it xx lou
fantastic tunes
THX for the music
My favorite song!!! I
This is Lou at his poetic post. Exceeds Dylan's later work.
that bass tone is amazing
The toothstick too
This is just beautiful. Does anyone what kind of pick-ups are in Lou's guitar?
Diggin that mullet
The original NYC rocker
legend
thankyou very much.
Yes, you can see it written out in the spoken-word version (it's in my channel).
as far as I'm concerned, Lou Reed is God.
And Iggy Pop is Jesus
Never understood how, if Lou could come up with a masterpiece like New York, he had produced such unadulterated shit for the rest of the Eighties.
Superstar Lou
Just me again, nostalgic ol' fool....
Vai ficar a lembrança...

RIP my imaginary husband.
Same.
You don't wanna mess with lou reed
Love Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground ....
STREET POET! NOBODY TOUCHES LOU REED!

said little joey diaz.
great song.

@Ammeba01 they're quite different both lyrically and musically, but i too like 'em both
@renaldomoonespecial The album is New York. If you think he ruins his own songs when he performs them, check out his covers. OH GOD.
GREAT GREAT GREAT
her voice it was like a bell
Is there the full show somewhere?
god is lou
