[@eriklindgren5955]

One of the first times I had been high, I was riding in a car with a few of my friends. One of them played this song while we were driving towards the sunset and I'll never forget how it looked. The sky was golden around the sun. The rest of the sky was a beautiful, rich pink. It was one of the most breathtaking things I've ever seen. We all stopped talking and laughing, we just watched in silence, completely mesmerized by the sky. I can't think of another moment in my life where I've experienced such a strong feeling of pleasure. I'll always remember this song and that moment. Edit: I realized it sounds better if you focus in on the bass. Enjoy. Also, while I'm here: My Sweet Lord when you're high is a spiritual experience and I would highly recommend it (or any George Harrison really).

Got that spacy haunting pysch melody. Song is very characteristic of the 66-67 flower power hippy times.This might of been recorded early - late 66. I did hear it in spring of 67 , right before Monterey. Actually, it kind of sounds a little like the Mamas and Papas. My friends sister , a hippy by 65-66 had this record, or album, summer of 67. 67 summer of love. Sunday Morning was a befitting song for that time period. Heroin usage in 67 was ever imcreasing, evan amongst the hippies; it wasn't just acid, shrooms, and pot. Heroin, cocaine, and meth were making strong headway into society! 1967 things were getting interesting. It's all Vietnam era.

[@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms]

This is definitely one of there more relaxed songs off of with Nico. This whole album is very high strung because it's from when Warhol was actually involved in it so the high art thing is more present+some of the worst of Lou Reeds Heroin Problem. You might like Loaded better as a whole. Later albums ofc do not include Nico though although I suspect she did backing vocals on New Age (also off of Loaded). Self Titled is good too but it's less Psychedelic.

[@ForARide]

​​​@@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms The Velvets can be classified into two sections: the Cale era (the "banana" album and White Light/White Heat) and the post Cale era after 1968. Similar to Pink Floyd without Syd Barett or Joy Division without Ian Curtis (at least they had the decency changing their name to New Order) they lost their cutting edge, Reed wanted success and finaly become a rock star, whereas Cale was more interessted in pushing the musical boudaries furthermore. After being kicked out of the Velvets by Reed, Cale went on to record the first (proto-) goth lp in rock history by arranging and co-producing Nico's Marble Index.

[@kirarasmom4274]

Sunday Morning" is] about how you feel when you've been up all Saturday night and you're crawling home while people are going to church. The sun is up and you're like Dracula, hiding your eyes. According to Reed, the song's theme was suggested by Andy Warhol. "Andy said, 'Why don't you just make it a song about paranoia?' I thought that was great so I came up with 'Watch out, the world's behind you, there's always someone around you who will call... It's nothing at all' which I feel is the ultimate paranoid statement in that the world cares enough to watch you."

It's not really punk, but quite a few of the songs were incredibly influential on punk rock. Not all of them, but quite a few.

[@rashotcake6945]

Tran Hoang Hieu i mean the simple fact that they made raw gritty rock songs that were easy to play and had distortion in the 60s. Sunday morning is a bad example. Btw the Sex Pistols cited them as an influence so there’s that

[@mcguzzetti]

Because their songs are way simpler than the West coast psychedelic rock. They use 1 maybe 2 riffs per song, like many punk bands. They made more stripped down rock and roll without all the solos and shit common with so many other bands of the day. The fact that they make easier, more straightforward music is why they get called punk.

イントロとギターソロが泣けてきます

[@brerogers4311]

Working. I'm a nanny The baby is sleeping It's misty and gray It's Sunday morning Going to California next Saturday I feel so wonderful I'm so happy This song is so calming and beautiful I hope you guys have a great holiday and new year

[@TheJONMATADOR]

Bro, what a wonderful song, nothing more to say about this masterpiece.

[@marcosruiz1709]

This song and this album became absolute classics already in the early 70s, despite not having commercial success, more than a timid entry on the billboard 200, the influence they had on important musicians was enormous, and that is why it is He began to recognize this album, by 1974 it was considered one of the best and most influential albums in history, and by then Lou Reed already had a successful career as a soloist.

[@hazelwray4184]

Thanks, in no small part to Bowie.

[@shaney8317]

I love the sound of the song

[@paolomulo5935]

Brilliant. Brilliant in its simplicity. Forever

[@judyneville8800]

Timeless...the Velvets were so ahead of the game...and I love Nicos solo work

[@pabloescabarthird6870]

Love this. Trancey vibe. Lovely melody. I could wake up to that every Sunday morning. Nico died to young she was beautiful looking.

There IS ring-tone creators for your phone....so you cold.....

[@ProcessKilling]

I started listening to this song in 2010 and here I am still listening to it 14 years later on a sunny Sunday morning in Aotearoa. What a great album!

[@johnstewart2981]

I can’t help but feel a dark undertone to this song...

[@nationradical]

Me too!

[@ThomasLHanes]

It’s a little bit happy, a bit nostalgic, a bit foreboding ... a lot like life ...

[@hugbug4408]

It deals with dealing with heroin addiction back at a love flower power time. Psychedelia wasn't about hippies always. Punk/ garzge was the original start to pyschedelia!

[@reeda35]

amazing...

[@paolorugarli2168]

The birth of hope in a smashed heart.

[@AnyoneCanSee]

My teen years were in the 80s but I always loved the music of the 60s and the fact young people really believed they could create a more loving world. They were of course wrong because the human race is deeply flawed. But it must have been a great time to be young.

[@hugbug4408]

When this tune came out I was 10 years old . Was in 4th grade ready to enter 5th in Sept. Of 67! My friends hippy sister of about 15 had this album, maybe 45, it's been 54 years ago. She was singing to this after she had some funny tobacky. Crazy but fun times and alot of extraordinary music. Motown, Beachboys in Pet Sounds, Beattles Sgt. Peppers and before that Revolver(best one), Rolling Stones, Byrds, Buffalo Spring field, Mamas and Papas, Spanky and Our Gang, Grass roots, Youngbloods, Zombies, Doors, Capt. Beef Heart, Cream,Buckinghams, Paul Revere and The Raiders, lou Reed and Velvet Underground, Chambers Brothers, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Lemon Pipers, The Young Rascals, Mitch Rider ad The Detroit Demoition, Linda Ronstadt, Gary Pucket and The Union Gap, and so many more.

[@jackmeeellleee4896]

I think there is no particular era when it was generally great to be young. The specific context of the young individual whether in the hippie era or today or whenever is what determines how great a time it is to be young. It has nothing to do with the period of time but everything to do with how the young persons world is put together. But at least in the eighties you did not have to worry about being sent to fight in Vietnam against your will.

[@hugbug4408]

@@jackmeeellleee4896 I think your right , but the music back I can relare more than of a youth with in the past 40 years! The music of 2 day is adequate for the youth , or whoever , is listening to it. To me it reminiscent of a time that was interestingly crazy, the 60s were ! Some kids I had got them to listen to The Beattles , Rolling Stones , Animals , Yard birds , Human Expression , Castaways , Hay Market Riot , the Tides In , We the People , Byrds , Chocolate Watch Band , The Krels , The Ides , Lou Reed , Jimmy Hendrix , Jefferson Airplane , Standels , The Who , Led Zepplin , Cream , James Brown , Beach Boys , Motown, etc.

[@AnyoneCanSee]

@@jackmeeellleee4896 - I understand what you mean and partly agree it is up to the individual to make the most of their youth. However, you then contradict your own point by saying in the 80s young people didn't have to worry about Vietnam. Well, it is then also true that the spirit of the time, the music and the creative feeling in the youth can make it a more inspirational time to be young. The 1960s was a time remembered for incredible music, incredible fashions, art and sexual liberation. I picked up on the fact many young people felt they could change the world and simply said it must have been interesting to experience that. Actually, I travelled across eastern Europe and Russia after the Berlin Wall fell, so did sort of experience that optimism for change in a different way.

[@jackmeeellleee4896]

@@AnyoneCanSee My point is that the individual young person will experience the world based on the specific circumstances of that young person's life. There may be general tendencies in society in addition to a lot of distorted or exaggerated public relations and media portrayals of a time period, social trend or group of people. Many people grew up in the sixties and seventies and experienced oppression and prejudice, poverty, homophobia and a lack of understanding and support. Addiction and abusive situations were also a problem in those days. I know I am older and remember the times. The music and the hippie values were ideals that were often not lived up to. I do not look at the sixties with rose colored glasses. It was not easy back then there was violence and strife and a lot more prejudice of all kinds.

[@cuddlejuice]

never thought I would see an upload :")

[@User-xw6kd]

This is great! They should upload other tracks with such accompanying videos as well, for tracks such as "Femme Fatale" and "Heroin".

[@TheFlappening]

Shammo Hamid or just upload the damn songs in general

[@therealpotpol4027]

I see you in comment section of every radiohead video

[@lastnamefirst4035]

Ah yes. Heroin a cheerful little tune

[@graemekornicki6810]

Hard to believe this is the same band that did venus in furs.

[@unknownhorse9830]

All velvet underground & nico.

[@dk60ish]

First heard this in Rock Poetry Class, their most melodic song & it should have been a hit, but definitely ahead of it's time, & Nico's alto is unique in itself!

[@jupiter-8405]

It gets more distant around the minute mark - so good.

[@PulseInterstellar]

This is the perfect lullaby - soothing and scaremongering

[@starcellars1873]

Man this is amazing. RIP Lou Reed.

[@gdub999tub.]

Somehow was ignorant/unaware of this my entire life. First listen = kinda cool. Second listen = Wow this is great. Third listen = OK music doesn't get much better. 4th+ listen = on mental autoplay for the rest of the day.

[@GroundhogRoy]

This masterpiece badly needs remastering.

[@michaelharrington75]

Would be nice if the same demixing technology used on Beatles early recordings was used to separate everything into individual tracks and given a new mix. Background noise could easily be removed too. Some albums deserve to be conserved, and this is one of them.

[@gabrielm6431]

tenho apenas 18 anos e me orgulho de gostar de tantas musicas boas da decada de 60 , Velvet underground é uma grande banda

[@ViolaM13]

Love this song since my youth, always sth special to listen it

[@joycecereto8822]

I bought this album when I was 15. The Banana on the album cover actually peeled to reveal a pink banana!! Truth!

[@scp-2348]

Happy New Year, People of the World! Sending love to you all from the Philippines on a Monday Morning.

[@plasteredbastard]

Think Brian Eno said it best about VUs first seminal release, this wasn't a commercial release, it sold maybe 30k it's first few years, but everyone one of these went out and started a band. When something gives you the onus to go do something and it did for so many, it's influence is inexorable.

[@matthiasgugelmann8516]

How has this wonderful piece of music managed to fly past my ears to this day???

[@sandrakenney567]

Matthias Gugelmann. Have a listen to Pale Blue Eyes By lou Reid After He Wrote Sunday morning He Wrote it about this girl Who he loved And She Broke his Heart .The words are Beautiful 👍

[@The_Beautifully_insane]

To feel like even for a moment, that you, or the one you love most, if only for a moment. Is worryless, and at peace. For me, I see it as to have peace the the girl I love most in my life. Your just fine, by my side.
