Always loved your vocals and they sound amazing on this, works so well with Tom's. It was great to hear your amazing voice again at the Rugby World Cup Final, Old Trafford, last November.

This song reminds me of when my daughter was born she died 3 days old each one of those days I spent with her was a perfect day

[@brewtal85]

Sorry for your loss, glad you got to spend that perfect day with her and you will never forgot that moment however fleeting it was.

[@robertr.shacklady7315]

You will see her again in heaven and every day will be perfect day x god bless you

[@jennieross5985]

Oh my luv your pain 💔💔❤️

[@hannahm3048]

This made me burst into tears. Bless you and your family , may all your days be perfect ❤

[@piaschulze4482]

I"m so sorry....i hope your alllright....!

[@sultanali1164]

Man I miss my childhood. There was a level of optimism back then which we never regained.

[@stoikes]

This song is about the misery of heroin addiction and becoming suicidal…. just saying

[@surgechecker18]

agreed about the optimism . I miss that.

[@RobDell-fu2rg]

yes i understand

[@jackgreenway4646]

That's called growing up my man

[@rachelbanks9871]

True.

[@richardevans2247]

BBC in the day and all it’s talent

[@alexminsky1]

My dad died in 1998. I was a confused teenager back then. My cousin gave me a CD with this music on it. I listened to it hundreds of times, crying, remembering memories of my dad and all the perfect days we had together. This song is so special to me 💔 If your father is still alive, go and tell them you love them. Tomorrow might be too late.

[@graemetalbot127]

You do your Dad proud. ❤️

[@maryharrison3713]

Beautiful ❤ sending love to you x

[@zosothezephead837]

"I thought I was someone else. Someone good". That one line says so much to me.

[@stoikes]

Hope not, Lou Reed wrote this about his depression from heroin addiction…..

[@stevejones2310]

​@@stoikesthat's why it's so poignant

[@TheGerkuman]

​@@stoikeslou said multiple times that it wasn't meant to just be about one thing. It was about a real relationship, as well as about his feelings about drugs.

[@TommyRaymond-dq2gb]

Sung by a master of pathos, class and charisma.

[@jamieduff1981]

Bloody hell this was 27 years ago, and look how many of these people are no longer with us... :(

[@sophierhodes3]

I adore this song reminds me of being a kid in the 90s and it still as beautiful now as it was then ❤

[@leeward5907]

90s kids unite!

[@EhsanMusic]

Here in Russia we heard this during the Christmas time. I miss the 90s. 90s kids forever.

[@YagaYooo]

Bowie smashes it out of the park

[@TommyRaymond-dq2gb]

I'd have loved it all to be sung by him.

[@dazh1295]

I have never experienced a song that gives me so much emotion, absolutely stunning and best version of this song. Whoever found the combination of vocal talents deserves a medal, even all these years later it never fails to give me chills and tears to my eyes.

[@Eevolved32]

100% my thoughts!

[@spbub]

You can thank the BBC, British Broadcasting Corporation ❤

[@olivergill2903]

BBC Advert

[@ivanabonacicdoric8537]

It is the BBC production

[@gaywest4298]

This is the best version, although I do like Duran Duran's version as well.

[@MICHELLEmooney-b6m]

This was the last record my lovely mum bought me. This is real treasure and will always love it xxx

Don’t be fooled , it is Western leaders misleading the masses.

[@danielsimpson1036]

Emmylou Harris on the "you just keep me hanging on" perfection

[@lisajean]

my fav bit 😍😍😍😍😍

[@stoikes]

Not that perfect, the line is Lou Reed essentially saying that the only thing stopping him from committing suicide was when he got his next hit of heroin…

[@auto2112]

@@stoikes They're not celebrating the meaning of the line, but its delivery. Bloody hell mate.

[@stoikes]

@@auto2112 Hmm, still, I am right.

[@MAGC88]

I've been asking people for years who sang that part. Thank you! Started listening to "Luxury Liner" after discovering her name. Amazing voice and Harris's delivery in this song has impressed me since the 90's

[@niallhogan1565]

Heather Small is just perfect with the perfect voice

[@KeithSkillen-pc5it]

True 😊😊😊

[@paulaskeete1243]

Normally, I don't like her voice, I find it harsh, but on this, she is great.

[@berylrichards665]

Unbelievable, it just takes my breath away.just perfect.🩷.

[@marktoleman5909]

1155pm and I've just had an almost perfect day, don't get many. Appreciate them when they come along folks.

[@JohnW8223]

Got laid?

[@richardkeeley9777]

I remember the bbc using this for the 75 years of broadcasting promotion in 1997 and raised loads of cash for Children in Need appeal that year

[@suzannezoubeck5216]

Didn't know this existed, so glad I found it (a positive thing from the recent death of Shane McGowan). Lovely version of a wonderful song. Missing Bowie, Dr. John, Lou Reed (of course) and Shane McGowan. ❤☮🌎

[@annieroche22]

You've the best taste in music. Grieving for shane mcgowen here

[@chesterdonnelly1212]

His line is my absolute favourite. "It's such fun" sung totally deadpan.

[@stoikes]

The song is by Lou Reed writing about becoming suicidal from heroin addiction, it’s not really that positive…..

[@sqwalker13]

Heather Small's voice gives me chills a perfect song all fabulous voices

[@amirbayat4845]

I miss these days... but I'm glad I got to experience them... bittersweet... ❤

[@eltonlovell9898]

Heather's line is the most pitch perfect! She rocks..

[@leeroy25024941]

She has the most fantastic voice!

[@gerainechambers1463]

Best bloody thing the BBC ever put out period! I was 12 when this come out, and lol what the dross you receive for TV licence now - bloody joke, but nice to reminisce, excellent ensemble this should be re-released!!! ❤️👏🏾

[@aberobinson1]

The BBC has lost its way

[@markknight5700]

Can't believe this not on Spotify

[@stoikes]

The BBC removed it when they realised it is about heroin and suicidal thoughts. Lou Reed wrote it when he was in the depths of heroin addiction…..

[@basvandetas]

@@stoikesThey should just put it back on there because it’s a song that shouldn’t be missing on spotify

[@stoikes]

@@basvandetas It’s a song about being suicidal and heroin addiction? How should it not be missing unless the context is actually acknowledged?

[@soup_pigeon]

It’s shit just listen to the original

[@aberobinson1]

I remember listening to this song when I was deployed. When I came back stateside I couldn't find it anywhere. Nobody knew what I was talking about.

[@anothercomment]

Takes me back to Christmas 1997.

[@leeadams4087]

This song deserved so many more deserved artists, especially as it was a production of the late great Lou Reed x

[@stoikes]

Not really, it’s about suicidal thoughts and heroin addiction

[@lukedaniel4563]

A song that reminds me of when times were good

[@samRoberts-vo8hz]

Had just given birth to my Nicu Bubba, god this still makes me cry now. She is now 27 with her own 2 Bubbas ❤❤

[@jasonsaunders820]

Primary school vibes! So glad I grew up in the 90’s

[@farhanakhan278]

The artists chosen are PERFECT, but i just love the bit when Bono comes in. Maybe just me, but they all complete this song PERFECTLY.

[@martintroy371]

I like the bit where Bowie sings “You made me forget myself “ but yes, the whole thing is glorious!!!

[@lesleylow7899]

Love when Evan Dando comes in, his pose, his look, his voice.

[@geoffainsworth69]

Bowie is the king of cool in this video

[@TommyRaymond-dq2gb]

Bowie is the king of cool

[@kieranmonk4646]

Take me back to the 90s 😢

[@donjunior]

This is probably one of the best collaborations ever. Freaking amazing. Other than that I just can think of "We are the world".

[@richb6196]

When heather small comes In Wow you won’t ever hear this again 😢

[@randomvideos6783]

I was 13/14 in 97 when I heard this. Had the cassette and I went to England because my grandma was dying so this reminds me of that time. My last day with her was a perfect day too.

[@richb6196]

I don’t care who you are these artists won’t ever be repeated. 20,40,60 years later.. thankyou I was brought up with this ✌️

[@smurfette6499]

Brings back so many memories of being a kid in the 90s

This song December 1994

[@krisstopher8259]

I finally found this song after 27 years. I saw it on MTV when i was young

[@katesmith1534]

Tom Jones does - gospel - yeah man! What a 'perfect' song ..... xx

They should re-collaborate this song for 2024

[@JimmyIreland-f3u]

All greats of the music industry. But Heather Small woww that voice is so powerful so beautiful 💕

Have been, on and off, listening to this since it first appeared. Still summons up the same emotions. Thank you, whoever put it together: the world is forever grateful.
