This album leaves you the same feeling the ending of “Chinatown” leaves

Nico's album "'The Marble Index" is one of my all-time favorite albums. I consider it a classic. Every song is great, though deep and beautiful. I love it. I can't understand why some people say it is hard to listen to. The legend and her music will live on.

I love this song deeply, it has a lot of memories for me, but especially this video, the same old beautiful haunting video. Never delete, please!

what a haunting hommage to her son as if time stands still and the beautiful seashore with promise

Credit producer John Cale of the Velvet Underground for the unique and intriguing musical arrangements on The Marble Index.

RIP Christian Aaron Boulogne🕊 I am the little knight With the sky above my eyes I can't scare myself I am the little knight With the earth beneath my feet I will visit you I will visit you

RIP Ari 🖤🥀😔

Nico's solo work was always so much more interesting than Lou Reeds. Truely original. Amazing stuff.

nico.....truly a messenger from beyond....such despair....i hear death in alot of her songs

Nico was a Genius.

I've always loved this track from Marble Index. This one and Julius Caesar.

This video and music are just perfect.

this song is one of my all-time favourites.

Ce vidéo est en parfaite adéquation avec la chanson. Simple, singulier mais vrai.

Brano meraviglioso!

Rest in peace, Nico, trans-Siberian, trans-dimensional musician, and mother to a son. Born 1938; granted eternal life in 1988.

What do you mean trans-Siberian?

One of the musics of my life

Lou reed was so wrong in every way about nico because I feel his American mind could not understand her European sensibility. Reed was a great musician but Nico was an original and a deep thinker but because she was born female and was in a time where women took the back seat she has never got the acclaim she deserved. Her songs are magnificent and spellbinding. Reed 's are pop music. Superior yes but still pop music.

What you say is 100% true...except that Reed's songs are superior to Nico's. Reed's best output comes from the VU, but after that it is a bit shaky. Transformer was okay because of Bowie and Ronson. "Perfect day" sounds just like "Stephanie Says;" it is Ronson's brilliant string arrangements that make it worthwhile. "Berlin" is overstated and melodramatic and sounds a bit "put-on". Nico's lyrics and melodies are more compelling and honest in my opinion. The only problem with Nico is that she is not technically a good musician- a bit like Bowie who is not a great musician but comes up with incredible melodies.

Yes fair point. But it's not her technical skill that I love her for. It's that unique and haunting voice and the beautiful songs she wrote.she was an instinctive musician practically self taught which I think makes her achievements even more remarkable. .FROZEN WARNINGS is a chillingly evocative song and THE FALCONER is hewn from another time entirely to name just two. . To my mind she was a genius but lived such a. Nomadic dissolute life and so far from the mainstream that she has never been easily assimilated. You'll never hear Nico on an a tv car ad. And that's got to be a great thing.

Yes, I agree. I was in fact saying quite the opposite: that Reed's music isn't superior to Nico's even if he is more technically skilled.

Sir, Lou sold dope to schoolkids while a student at Boston College(?) while under the tutelage of one Delmore Schwartz, apoet, to be sure. He also has full-blown hepatitis from sharing dirty needles. Maybe he fired her under such influence of this affliction, non, mon ami?

i wished she had sung Venus in Furs on the lp. Lou`s best albums are New York/ Songs for Drella / Magic and Loss. These are far from pop songs. I totally agree with you Stephen, about his influences/sensibility being completely different from Nico`s, and John`s. It`s interesting to see/hear the terrain/soundscapes Cale was doing before Martin Hannett gave JD that icy detached sound. Imagine 60/40 on the banana lp with Moe pounding it...bliss.

This song is awesome and the video clip is well made. Nico was unique and I liked her voice.

I wish this song could last at least 60 mins..

she is my Muse.

nice!

I love here .

Raw pathos.

I cant believe that Lou Reed say in a Documentation Nico had not talent .I think he was so different in Character an meaning in to Lou and Nico

@Johnsoniscoolandya Apparently for months at a time, the only music sometimes Elliot Smith would listen to is The Marble Inde.

ARIS I lOVE YOU.

so haunting!!! beautyfull!! ;)))

paralyzing beauty

Locura eterna

It's even more sad knowing how Ari ended up... he sails away allright, on h.

Mine, too.

@JaackPat Nope, you're right. She did write the songs on this album. I confused this with Chelsea Girl. Glad to know because I prefer this album over Chelsea Girl. I do disagree that Nico's discography is more interesting than Lou Reed's, but of course it's just opinion.

Lindissima musica sobre seu filho Ari...

at first i disliked her strong german accent, but that gives her a distinctive expression. for native english-speaking people it might sound very hard.

the mother tongue

@nostalgiahistoria67 i cant understand how people diss on nico. she's my absolute favorite female singer

@departments2006 Another good thing: Nico died before she could collaborate with Metallica on adapting a play into an overlong and ridiculously profane musical.

@SaintSanic Uhm.... no she didn't. Look it up. You'll see that she didn't write those songs and that she even complained about having little contribution to some of her albums (Chelsea Girl being one). I stick by my statement.

yes

@vinciano I concur sir.

@vinciano Indeed sir.

paralyzing bauty

@JaackPat Interesting outlook sir.

Patrick Wolf does an amazing cover of this.

joplin.

n ICON, peARl

u evol ear

Wolf is like Celine Dion? What the hell was that? hahaha

haha Ari is my dogs name.

Speak for yourself.

personally I think Patrick Wolf's cover version of this is better than this the origional. Just my opinion, on the subject of the song. Yours is not only irrelevant as it has nothing to do with music but is also vulgar, and somewhat aggresive. They really need to ban people for comments like this, I'm sure they occasionally do but I still find them on almost every youtube video I watch. Why?

@departments2006 Too bad she didn't write any of it. I consider Nico a joke, sorry. She tries to act like Warhol and she has no creativity.

Britney Spears sing better
