Thank you, Duke Francis, for posting this great rendition of a powerful Lou Reed song. Dr. Higgason put the proper wording below in comments. If you have no objections, am attaching the lyrics for all of us to enjoy. Lyrics: I'll be your mirror, reflect what you are In case you don't know, I'll be the wind The rain and the sunset The light on your door to show that you're home When you think the night has seen your mind That inside you're twisted and unkind Let me stand to show that you are blind Please put down your hands 'cause I see you I find it hard to believe You don't know the beauty that you are But if you don't let me be your eyes A hand in your darkness, so you won't be afraid When you think the night has seen your mind That inside you're twisted and unkind Let me stand to show that you are blind Please put down your hands 'cause I see you I'll be your mirror
I love the way this live song warms up at the end the part when enters the drums and the guitar build up that finger style arpeggio very similar to the "heroin" one (in fact those are the same two chords)
Nunca vi una expresión tan maravillosa como la que tenía Lou cuando murió. Sus manos estaban haciendo la forma 21 del tai chi. Sus ojos estaban abiertos. Yo estaba abrazando a la persona que más amaba en el mundo, y le hablaba mientras moría. Su corazón se detuvo. El no tenía miedo. La vida- tan hermosa, tan dolorosa y sorprendente- no se pone mejor que eso. ¿Y la muerte? Creo que el propósito de la muerte es la liberación del amor. Laurie Anderson.
I'm sorry for your loss. It's hard to understand the unique manner in which we see our beautiful mothers. I hope your Mother at least felt very loved, even if she couldn't appreciate herself as her child(ren) do. Death cannot kill love.
My brother committed suicide last weekend by overdosing on something. He was found with headphones on, presumably listening to something. This is his youtube account. He made a playlist containing 6 songs that was edited the day he passed. This is one of the 6 songs. With the method he used, he was dead after about 30 minutes, probably unconscious around 12 minutes. I like to think that it was peaceful for him with his music on. I love you Myles, I'll miss you everyday for the rest of my life....
Kind of fitting this is a fake comment in a twisted way. On the surface I imagine Lou and the band would have wanted someone to fake a comment like this to prove how horrible and cold the world can be. But deep down it would probably brake there hearts. Congrats for faking me though
Every time I hear this, wow. Lou is like an old friend telling me he believes in me. LOL
Me too. I'm a fool for it. It's delightful, and I'm not going to wreck it by thinking too hard about it. :-)
Exactly. 🤲💗
Lou Reed were the first two intelligible words my son said! thanks for posting this :)

Lyrics:
I'll be your mirror, reflect what you are
In case you don't know, I'll be the wind
The rain and the sunset
The light on your door to show that you're home
When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands 'cause I see you
I find it hard to believe
You don't know the beauty that you are
But if you don't let me be your eyes
A hand in your darkness, so you won't be afraid
When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands 'cause I see you
I'll be your mirror
Great songwriter Great guy
Lou Reeds Great tribute to Nico

for me one of the best
Good Bye Lou...

The description says this a cover? Lou wrote this song.
goodbye :(
❤️🌹

that's a pity that is too short and morbid addictive
Lou is addictive. What are we junkies going to do when we run out of him?
RIP.

Con todo respeto y como fan de la banda creo que la versión con Nico es mucho mejor.
ma perchè mettono questa che lui proprio non sopportava?
They sang this song in that movie Georgia which I liked better than this version
Sorry, I don’t get it, sounds awful.
would be a better video without that racist Nico all in it. she's not singing in this one. and it's not dedicated to her either.
