Nico, was underrated.This just shows it. Morrissey put her on his Desert Island disc list. A wonderful song, a lament for Morrisson. So sad, as they are both gone.

So gorgeous... no voice like hers ever graced music again. Now we have Miley Cyrus... I wasn't even alive when this song came out, but boy do I miss those days...

One of my most favourite Nico songs.. So *sweet* she did this for Jim Morrison, RIP to both of them ♥

she's so beautiful isn't she?!

Groundbreaking, melodic, dark, avant-garde, haunting.

This is fron the album The End. John Cale (piano,bass,xylophone,acc. guitar,synthesizer, organ, marimba,triangles,cabasa,glockenspiel,percussion,piano & electric piano), Brian Eno (synthesizers) & Phil Manzanera (electric guitar) are the musicians participating here.

a dark soul and a brilliant voice.

This is truly beautiful. Thanks for posting. I saw more new images of Nico than I ever knew existed. As for the comment that Nico never smiled, well, so what? I saw her in concert and I can assure you that she not only smiles, she is extremely humorous. Her delivery is dead pan and dry as all hell, but funny. Very much so. Saw her in Chicago in 1981. One of the best shows ever.

She beautiful, too beautiful for this world, a TRUE artist! xx :)

I think its such a tragedy for a young musician to die at such a early age. In Nico's case not only was she a beautiful woman who modeled, but had a voice that was very dark and beautiful at the same-time. After years of doing drugs her looks faded away, its sad to see her die from that.... Nico will always have her place in the music world...

great album - great artist

MASTERPIECE!

I think this one is for Jim Morrisson, Some strings sounds like the "albinioni adagio" Which was jimbo favourite song. Some people are leaving, dying without giving explanation, i think the song is about the living who stays with sad questions and ghosts...

Bravo. Well done. Thanks very much for this beautiful work.

grand montage of imagery to go along with this song perfectly. absolutely beautiful and deep. thanks for posting!

very very nice tks for posting...Nico sure did carry on for a long time...not long enough of course...the most haunting and sweet voice i ever heard...

she has a powerful voice. but it can be so gentle at times... good music

there are so many photos pf her where she just looks so sad =[ but when she smiles... she looks beautiful

Nico's music is amazing! It has so much power and energy, There's nothing really like it to me. It's way ahead of it's time!

Haunting

Superb and hauting piece of music!

COOL person!! Her whole crowd were fantastic!

One of my favorite Nico songs! Plaintive and melancholy, her voice suits it perfectly. Why some criticize her voice I have no idea; she is completely in tune and has an an authentic and raw quality that no voice training can fake. Wish I could go back and re-experience her performance I saw in the early 80's. Is this meant for someone, Lou Reed, or maybe Alain Delon? (I checked - Jim Morrison who had just died) Brilliant "Deutschland Uber Alles" on the album but as a satirical depressing dirge.

The only other singer/songwriter who evokes such sadness, introspection and truth in their music is Peter Hammill. One wonders what a collboration between Nico & Hammill would have been like. Nico did work with Kevin Ayers, Eno and again with her old Velvets cohort John Cale, on the album: "June 1, 1974".

¡Johlé! fuerte y bella.

Thank you intergalaxy for this one - nice slide show with the song.

I forgot how good this was.Eno,Phil and Cale...Spooky.

Music ; a way of expressing that depression ... an outlet . . . a way of by-passing ' suicide ' . . .

oh Nico ! I listened to you so long ago .. oh Nico ! to see you agian

After she met Paul Morrissey at The Factory he told her never to smile in photos, I believe.

thank you! this music invokes many memories ... and the photos: priceless! my copy of this lp long-gone, along with my favorite, Marble Index lp; but I still have an orig tape of Nico solo perf in NYC, made by a friend in club: harmonium and voice... must transfer to cd before it fades, etc... anyway, thanks again for this. sda

WOW

i envy you! lucky i love nico

@yoochoobb this is really progressive for back then! Like a lot of her stuff. "The Marble Index" is mind blowingly futuristic sounding even now.

distrunner06...Nico did not die from drugs,she was clean when she died,she was thrown while riding a horse .

she invented today.

Nico rulez

@yoochoobb I think she did this song in the memory of Jim Morrison.

think he lives in paris - he was interviewed in the film-bio - nico-icon

i have this album for about 15 years ! i dare to listren to it only every one year. because its so scary ! but when i listen to it . mmmm so unusual and uncompremising

Yeah - Nico woulda been a millionaire today...sad but true...

I absolutely love the photo at 3:13, may I ask where you got it? Or we could trade rare Nico photos? I have quite a few.

hahaha i was saying the same thing

besides her voice discussion.. what cant be discussed and is awesome is her afination!! shes the most afinated woman i´ve ever listened to! (does the word afination exist? or is it tune or sth like that? sorry, my english does its best but.. you know..)

so you think she would have fitted into today?

she kinda looks like kate moss

where are the photos from?

Haunting.... sort of like death do us part from pet semetary... yet it is sweet....

Die at such a early age? She was 49.

didn't you think this is some information I needed to know?

beutiful but terrifying!

@Baddaamman some of that photos were made in 60's when Nico was a model. check out this fansite smironne. free. fr/NICO/

I know her son in law

4:45 isn't warhol is it?

Whose son in law?

I Love Nico..but she never had a smile.. not one..
