The Velvet Underground-Sunday Morning

[@Strangletusk]

Every Sunday morning I listen to this song as the first song of the day. Every week. And even when the rest of the day may not turn out so good, I always know it had one great moment, right at the very start. God I love The Velvet Underground.

[@reimonalbert]

Hell yeah!

[@MusicThumper]

Rest In Peace Lou Reed. A rock icon like no other.

[@evanmorrow3333]

An old girlfriend I had at one time turned me on to the Velvet Underground.... It changed my perceptions of music and other things.. Then she dumped me and took her album with her. I sure missed that album...........

[@pampamdnf3422]

Man, yes...

[@Waldenpunk]

I think the importance of the Velvets is that they were making sounds like no other band at the time & writing about topics (like heroin) that no other band would have dared in 1966 this song, to those of us who are fans, is a dreamy, trippy beautiful song. It IS a lullaby! Its punk before punk existed. its psychedelic & hypnotic & crawls inside your head and lodges there, as all great rock and roll should...

[@doctahwhooo5343]

Great song from a great band.......rest in peace lou......and thank you for the music

[@metaphyzikal1]

On of the highlights of my life was seeing Lou Reed perform live. RIP to a great muso and a true artist of the genre. You are gone but not forgotten.

[@cosmictrigger9]

I remember Lou & the Underground's open concerts in the late 60's - everything was seen & heard more clearly, even though we were often dazed. This band changed so many lives with their sound. Peace, Mr. Reed. Thank you for your blessed heart & thanks for the load, Katie..

[@Pinkspiderable]

Beautiful work, their music was a great celebration of true art. You could not be unaffected by the musical work of Lou Reed and still call yourself a musician or a writer. I can continue to live one more day and know there is still tomorrow..RIP Lou Reed

I got stuck with him in a broken elevator at Screen Gems back in the 70's. I was about 16 years old, and my Dad was head of Screen Gems / Columbia Music in Wells Street, London W1. We were stuck together, for an hour two, we rolled a spliff, and he started writing lyrics on a cigarette packet. I joined in. It wasn't until several hours later that I realised who he was... THANK YOU Dad (RIP) for having a shite elevator... Andrew Bonner-Walter xx - PS: And thank you for posting this

If I had a time machine, one of the first things I would do is see The Velvet Underground when John Cale was still in the band.

[@ekimrogregy2915]

I was three when this came out. No one bought it anyway. When I was 16 I had to order VU albums from my local record shop (such was life in a northern town in 1980). Fell in love with them - love Lou's voice, lyrics, guitar, way with a melody. "It's just the wasted years so close behind..." How true. RIP.

[@nickfromCO]

While bands like The Beatles were singing about Love, The Velvet Underground were singing about hardcore drug use, transsexualism, botched surgical operations, and sexual exploration. Lou and The Velvets helped make anything possible in Rock N Roll. Lou's influence on so many musicians/people cannot be understated. RIP to a legend.

[@MD-ex8xc]

by 1967, when velvet underground and nico was released, the beatles released sgt peppers and eleanor right was already a year old by that point. Not exactly just about love but I guess nothing as explicitly dark or sexual as the velvet.

[@md244-w6v]

@@MD-ex8xc haha both of us are MD, same initials? Also yeah the beatles had moved on from singing purely about love, not to take away from velvet singing about the wildest shit in the 1960s which is awesome but there were drug references & sex stuff in the beatles catalog around the late 60s even if it wasn’t as nearly as ‘dirty’ as the velvets stuff

Thank you, Lou Reed, for this song. I was but an 11 year old girl when this song came out & I remember it. I believe it was a turning point in my life when I realized 'bubblegum' music wasn't for me. Thanks for posting.

[@deVon30241]

When the reverb kicks in, i imagine a patient in a hospital walking down an endless hallway. She's the only one in the hospital, but everything is lit and still looks new. The "camera" or view is just of her knees down where her hospital gown twirls around her feet when she walks and spins around, prancing to this song in slow-motion. She's completely alone. And she couldn't be happier.

[@tonymaximoff]

This song is so relaxing, like waking up on a sunny sunday morning and go walking to a cloud and float on it while drinking a banana milkshake.

[@ninjabunnyhardcore]

I love waking up to this song...walking through the hallway with the sun in my eyes. Picking up my reflex, some nice shots, sipping ice tea and laying on the fresh grass. Such a trip. Such a dream.

[@thenobs123]

This song always puts me in a good mood. One of my favorites.

[@tristandevereaux4867]

This music changed my life. I never connected with anything musically so intensely before, and haven't since. I felt really heartbroken when I heard Lou Reed died. We are all so very lucky that the music survives and will continue to survive; enchanting for all time. An eternal gift.

[@edwardmalc1473]

I have so empathised with the sentiments of this song. Few could not, I'm sure. So many times I have walked through London streets when the clubs have closed or are emptying; with friends, acquaintances, extra special companions, and, of course, alone! Ripped, loaded, whatever, it is a strange period of the day, as the dawn approaches. Sometimes strangers will invite you to join them, in their homes, as you're passing. Have to be selective though wherever you may be. Maybe Lou's most insightful song.

[@hermygagala]

Trully makes me leave all my worries behind. This song is trully a psychedelic masterpiece. Can't go a day without listening to atleast one song from The Velvets. Along with my favorite band Nazareth and other favorites that I encounter daily: Wasp, Grateful Dead, Judas Priest, The Who. I seriously can't go a day without listening to them they are like a drug to me.

[@Metatron141]

First heard this when I was 17 or 18 living in North London. I was over at a friend's in Stamford Hill at the time. I had skipped A-Level classes that day and gone to do acid with a friend. The next day I was coming down off the cid and chilling when someone had put this CD on. The greatest mellowest transition song ever. Just brilliant. Thank you Velvets for all the music you made.

[@christopherjachulski1927]

I heard Lou Reed had passed away on Catholic Radio. They played "Jesus", a song I had never heard before. It was a sincere unvarnished plea for grace. The lesson I learned is: don't write anyone off. I offered a Mass and Communion for the repose of his soul. Jesus offers salvation to the very people Lou Reed was not afraid to write and sing about like Pedro in Dirty Boulevard.

The video is very interesting to say the least.

Can any music producer or audio engineer brainiacs explain how to get the "Sunday Morning" sound? The compressed, fuzzy, swirling music box sound. I know it was produced by the great Tom Wilson, but it sounds a lot more stripped down and, for lack of a better term, "indie" compared to other works he produced.

In retrospect the big mistake The Velvet Underground made was to form in the late 1960s. If they had waited til the mid 1990s to form then they would have found a far more receptive musical world for their music and would have been more successful. I do believe they were badly advised in this respect.
