hard to believe it came out 55 years ago? you really think people 55 years ago were primitive monkeys or something? You definitely haven't heard anything from the '60s other than The Beatles and the songs that have become a stupid tiktok trend if you think like that. please 10s zoomer kids stop calling tvu indie and comparing the legendary band to today's indie bullshit and billie eilish because today's indie music and billie eilish is shit and you dont know about culture and music.

If people are to be interested in the culture and music of the 1960s, I love that and I encourage my friends to familiarize themselves with old psychedelic music, if zoomers are to comment on a topic they have no idea about, I dont get that and people shouldn't comparing them.

@@lamestudiosinc418 I know, and Nico was never a member of the Velvet Underground, she was a guest singer with them as part of Warhol's The Exploding Plastic Inevitable show and sang three songs on their debut album. The band was not happy about Warhol making them perform with her. She was a bit of a primadonna, often making them get onstage late for performances and going off key, though that was probably because she was partially deaf. Still, I must admit I attended 6 of the 15 or so concerts the Velvet Underground did at the Boston Tea Party between '67 and '70, and the full Exploding Plastic Inevitable show at the Savoy Theater in Boston, and I did like Nico's performances. To me she brought something of a mysterious and surreal quality to the songs she did.

The use of this song in Royal Tenenbaums is absolutely sublime.

Here from the "Eric" series on Netflix

I remember a week before we moved from my hometown I took a walk. And as soon as I passed my elementary school this song played. I still remember the way the clouds looked and the sun on my face. Thank you Nico for giving my such a beautiful moment 🕊️

She was definitively NOT just a pretty face for the VU.

This song was written by Jackson Browne when he was just 16!

This song makes me remember the good times i passed with friends before i lost them, i miss my friends, i really miss times and times from 2022, 2023 times got hard and 2024 got even worse. I'll wait for the better times because i know it's for some reason, but for me I just need a honest hug from someone who loves me, I don't feel loved. Love is hard, makes us blind and sad. Want to cry but i remember these good times i had.
