Lou Reed, Perfect Day Acoustic Demo

[@burntreynolds1068]

Sappy as it sounds, this brings me to tears every time I hear it. No lie.

[@burntreynolds1068]

No, not the tune. Never mind.

[@thefakedoctorphil]

Sorry... you've missed it.

[@jeroenpieter7603]

Just playing Transformer again. Old school Lou Reed on a pick-up, Vinyl and all mono... This was a perfect day! Thanks to Mr. Lou Reed. You will be missed..

[@craiglewis6145]

Just a perfect version of a perfect song.

[@giannianzil1069]

Maybe in a perfect day...

[@lucaslaino7292]

R.i.p. metal machine head we miss you terribly

[@latentfuss711]

I love his little scat at the end

[@landeny65]

latent fuss who doesn’t love a little scat?

[@thetriumphofthethrill2457]

Lovely. A gift of music from perhaps the greatest Rock songwriter of all time.

[@brianwells4891]

Definitely not. Top 10 though.

[@mrstokes6580]

you made me feel like someone else, someone good :')

[@dubchile]

Funny how I've found that all 'perfect' demos are exactly 3:33 minutes long. It's such a divine number. RIP Lou 💖

[@celestialdive2899]

What other demos

[@mike196212]

I eventually bought the anniversary album on cd and this is a nice addition along with the unintentionally funny,at least to me,promotional radio ad.

[@rupowell2821]

and then Mick Ronson turned it into a masterpiece loved the world over.

[@mikehigbee]

Without Mick Ronson, Transformer would not have been the masterpiece it is. Mick Ronson is one of the greatest of all time.

[@brianwells4891]

Without trainspotting it would have remained virtually unknown in the mainstream.

[@marcorobecchi4398]

Il suono puro e scarno che da vita a un mondo ... la musica ...

[@TheMrMojoRisin67]

I remember when I heard this on the expanded album the first time, the promo ad that pops in after a couple minutes of dead air scared the shit out of me. XD

[@ZackBlackMusic]

Haha! Same thing happened to me when I first heard it on the remastered CD.

[@cono4949]

You are of the grasa

[@koberaw8229]

It sounds like the intro guitar he used later for the song, “Ennui,” off of Sally Can’t Dance.

[@lt.finglefubledingler1972]

I like this version better than the full release tbh

[@art4life691]

Woow so wonderful...

[@thefakedoctorphil]

BRILLIANT!

[@herminioli77]

Musica con sentimiento! Gracias Luis Cañas (Lou Reed ;) )

[@nippegmt]

[@Goatchild90]

[@Rock-iw7ov]

[@avantgardenmusick]

Wow!

[@MerthyrSlob]

Love it! Thanks for sharing :)

[@astra3694]

Какая прекрасная версия!

[@alvesmonteiro5022]

Ate Sempre Lou

[@johnmuscia6304]

Damm that's good

[@wcohan]

i read that this is song is about his day with heroin, that heroin 'keeps him hangin on' and there is no person here he is spending the day with; not sure if that is true, but makes sense.

[@rupowell2821]

‘You made me forget myself..I thought I was someone else someone good’. Yes heroin indeed!

[@Danimal1577]

I thought I was someone else, someone good

[@vinimadruga1]

REST IN THE WILD SIDE

[@ephrat1]

RIP Lou :-(

[@giantmetfan06]

[@theillegalseagull6838]

[@lind721]

What album?

[@axlslash8793]

Transformer (Expanded Edition)

[@user-mm1bf2tb5x]

you can also find it on the 2002 cd release of Transformer

[@marguskiis7711]

He died today...

[@pg6917]

I NEED THE CHORDS RIGHT NOW WERE CAN I FIND THEM

[@vasekchalupa5654]

Have you tried the internet?

[@dubchile]

The 'Chordify' app. It's FAB for starters..

[@lt.finglefubledingler1972]

Such a beautiful song about heroin addiction

[@Rock-iw7ov]

I've heard from Lou it was literally about a Perfect Day

[@playlistmaster4163]

That’s a common misconception reed said the song was about a perfect day for the narrator of the song but he also Said he isn’t imposed to that interpretation

[@charlesbogle6544]

Yes it was about a perfect day in the park with his wife, feed the animals and then home 🏡 And the rest of his troubles make him a powerfully imperfect artist... His demons were too strong and he hurt her. She said that "fame makes fiends out of people"... That is just what we see with how easy it is to become 'famous' these days... Keep feeling fascination for learning the truth and following your dreams...

[@elliebee6537]

Anybody else here from Scott Pilgrim?

[@Goatchild90]

Moi

[@joelongsurname]

AshTT yup

[@timdc4972]
