Lou Reed - Coney Island Baby (Official Audio)

[@chardwickpaq3979]

i first heard this song when i was 14ish. i'm female. I never wanted to play football for the coach. I was hurdler. And I too wanted the approval and acceptance and win for my coach. I never had any girl on girl crushes or same on same on, never in my wheel house.............but the desolateness, the wanting, of this song,,,,,,,,,to belong...........for approval..............it was the first song that really spoke to me...........when your all alone and lonely in your midnight hour and you find that your soul has been up for sale and you begin to think that all the things that you done and you begin to hate just about everything.....that was me in 10th grade. And God Lou was real. RIP . The longing of belonging for who you are, the longing for unconditional love....yeah i was abused by my step father......and everything was a muck mess. Lou and this song saved me. The Glory of Love......Rachel, i'd give the whole thing up for you. I never had a Rachel, but i have 2 daughters Stefanie and Andrea, and 2 sons, David and Jonathon............and after all these years, I'd give the whole thing up for them. Unconditional love is without condition. Thank you Lou.

What a beautiful reply to this song by anyone I have ever heard. I have performed this song as a giging musician, both as a solo with just an acoustic guitar and in a small combo with an attempt to replicate the incredible and subtle lead guitar work. Few lead players can cop the the needed feel of the original piece. Even if they do the only people who really respond to it can respond this kind of naked, haunting beautiful depth of exposure to our fragile vulnerability. You are one of them and it's so wonderful to see and hear about. Thank you Lou one my all-time heros with a rocky weird life that can deliver this and people like you who get it and can express it. Thank you and may you stay "Forever Young" (Bob Dylan) . . .

My voices in the background..Lou wanted that doo op Brooklyn street singing sound. I was just the right person to give it to him. It was my second album doing back up vocals for him; “Sally Can’t Dance” was the first. We always got along..one night in the studio he taught me how to drink Scotch😆 Media sound..for my money, at that time the best studio in NYC. The whole album was a gas.. but the title track was absolute magic. One of the reasons is that guitarist extraordinaire Bob Kulick, who had played on a bunch of my records was on board. He was one of the most versatile and intuitive players of all time. I felt there was something missing at the end of the title track..I had an Idea and suggested that he finish with the sort dedication we had heard on the radio growing up. He didn’t skip a beat, knew exactly what I was saying, and in one take ended the tune touchingly and perfectly. Fittingly that was the last bit of recording. I was sitting at the recording console the next day with Godfrey Diamond the engineer when Lou popped in and said he was going away for a few weeks and that he wanted us to mix the album while he was gone. We looked at each other thunder struck but that’s how it went down. Unforgettable music unforgettable experience. Thanks Lou for the trust. Mike Wendroff 31/October/22. Tucson AZ.

[@starsailor_words]

Wow Mike! I must have listened to this album a hundred times until I realized what I love most about it: the choir! Because your voice(s) make Lou‘s lyrics feelable, especially in dreamy whispered tunes like „Crazy Feeling“ and „A Gift“. Thank you so much for your singing Mike. I‘m a Coney Island Baby now. ❤

[@vnrjn8]

First time I heard this song was driving back home from the beach in Southern California. I'd just gotten on the freeway, turned the radio on and caught the song just as it was starting. It was dusk. It must have caught me in just the right mood because the lyrics seemed so clear, almost as if Reed was speaking to me. And I thought about old friends, people I'd grown up with and hadn't seen for years, my old neighborhood. So I'm driving along and suddenly I was engulfed by a sense of grief and loss, and I started weeping openly, surprised that I'd made such an instant connection to it. And as the song plays on I'm thinking I have to know the name of it because I'm going to go buy this right away. And when the song ended the DJ says that was Coney Island Baby by the great Lou Reed. Turns out the radio station had apparently been playing nothing but Lou Reed songs that afternoon because he had just died. And when I got home I played Perfect Day and Walk on the Wild Side and Sweet Jane over and over and over again.

Albums like VU/Nico and White Light/White Heat painted him as someone who didn't want popular recognition, but this song makes me cry every time. Like so many people, he just wanted to be accepted regardless of his sexuality. I can't help but cry.. Damn, I love you, Lou.

A beautiful song that so many people fail to understand. This isn't necessarily his specific dream of playing football for the coach. It's partly the flip side of take a walk on the wild side. Neither story is exactly him, he's just telling stories about how people see their world.

[@silversnail1413]

I think "play football for the coach" is just a metaphor for fitting in, doing what's expected of you. Lou was an outsider and a misfit for much of his life because of his drug use, his complex sexuality and his stubborn adherence to his own bold artistic approach, so this song is his own tacit admission that part of him did just want to conform and be like everyone else. But the glory of love saw him through and allowed him to be himself.
