The Velvet Underground - After Hours

[@razsztern1766]

Fun fact: Lou Reed wrote this song, but felt like he couldn’t sing this song for being to innocent and pure for him. He let the drummer, Maureen Tucker, sing it, despite not being a singer at all. The result: a timeless masterpiece

[@Wischmopp95]

Innocent and pure? Huh, I always thought that song was about suicide, or at least about withdrawing yourself from life. But now that I think about it, it's probably just about wanting the night, and therefore the party, to last forever - maybe as a form of escapism from everyday life, but not, like, peacing out from life altogether.

[@semnomesemnomesemnome5215]

@@Wischmopp95 he wants a innocent voice to give a cynical look to the lyrics, he's talking bout suicide and depression, but he wants it to sound "pure" only to mock the morality, a "pure" voice singing such an unholy thing (for the Church suicide is unholy) Well, at least That's what I interpreted

It's funny to think the woman singing this (Moe Tucker, who was also the drummer for VU) went to work for Wal-Mart for like 10 years in the 1980s before touring with Half-Japanese, an artpunk band. She became a tea party conservative in the 2000's, meaning she was likely always conservative to some degree, which I find interesting given her musical associations (VU had been managed by Andy Warhol and had a strong association with that world of people generally).

[@fenixman2]

It's such an interesting song, especially when you look at how people feel about it in the comment section who thinks it's about being introverted.

I mean the line "I wish it could happen to me" definitely implies that the singer isn't really having that great of a time.

[@noraasinktaw3573]

I could close the door and listen to this song on repeat for eternity

[@renayasar3500]

this song feels like its talking about anxiety

[@dylanholmes5411]

It’s talking about isolation, not being good enough, and ultimately hedonism through drug use.

[@JasonSteel-hk2tx]

Velvet Underground was genuinely 50 years ahead of the times. Fucking masterpiece of a band.

Her features are comforting to me, its a familiar look... I don't know why.

[@gulagol7730]

Molly Butterfield who is she?

[@UkuleleBobbyKemp]

‘Elfin’ (pointy and symetrical). From Audrey Hepburn, thru Mia Farrow to Kiera Knightley - this is *one* of the definitions of beauty... 🙏

How can I forget this iconic song when my first love was the one who recommended this to me and was used as our theme song, back then. Still hoping that one day, in God's will, we'll meet again.

[@Abigart69]

you should move on. be someones love and be the one to introduce them to this song but this time make sure to stay

[@clemzthedreamer]

I missed this song so much, it's been long years since the last time I heard of it, and yes, I finally moved on. But still this song remained special to me, always.

[@agothicuser1736]

[Intro] 1-2-3 [Verse 1] If you close the door, the night could last forever Leave the sunshine out and say hello to never All the people are dancing and they're having such fun I wish it could happen to me But if you close the door I'd never have to see the day again [Verse 2] If you close the door, the night could last forever Leave the wineglass out and drink a toast to never Oh, someday I know someone will look into my eyes And say hello -- you're my very special one-- But if you close the door I'd never have to see the day again [Bridge] Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars And the people on subways and trains Looking gray in the rain as they stand disarrayed Oh, but people look well in the dark [Verse 1] And If you close the door, the night could last forever Leave the sunshine out and say hello to never All the people are dancing and they're having such fun I wish it could happen to me 'Cause if you close the door I'd never have to see the day again [Outro] I'd never have to see the day again, once more I'd never have to see the day again

I cannot hear this song without hearing Michael Stipe making the door slam sound 1:03 when they perform it at the end of Tourfilm from 1989. I love that this video basically shows EVERYTHING about the influence of this song. Like without it, no Wes Anderson for starters.
