Whitey - Waves of Fear (Lou Reed cover)

[@voolted6498]

What a great cover. I dig it better than the original actually.

[@ayemchunt1714]

I bought this from NJW on Bandcamp back in 2013 shortly after it was released. It was recorded by Whitey in his studio in Hastings to honour his close friend Lou Reed. In 2017 my hard drive gave up the ghost and I lost everything on it including this track. When I tried to re-download from Whitey's Bandcamp page he had removed it. It's an awesome track and, dare I say, better than Lou's original 'The Blue Mask' version. Thankyou so much for posting this, you've made me ecstatically happy.

wait, Whitey actually knew Lou Reed personally??

[@ayemchunt1714]

@@victorwright5358 Yes, they were close friends. When Whitey released this song on Bandcamp he donated all the proceeds to Lou's family. I paid £25 for it because of this. I can't remember what the actual price was now. If I remember correctly, Whitey said it was recorded during a thunder storm.

Lyrics from genius Verse 1] Waves of fear, attack in the night Waves of revulsion, sickening sights My heart's nearly bursting, my chest's choking tight Waves of fear Waves of fear, squat on the floor Looking for some pill, the liquor is gone Blood drips from my nose, I can barely breathe Waves of fear [Verse 2] Waves of fear, attack in the night Waves of revulsion, sickening sights My heart's nearly bursting, my chest's choking tight Waves of fear Waves of fear, squat on the floor Looking for some pill, the liquor is gone Blood drips from my nose, I can barely breathe Waves of fear [Bridge] Waves of fear Waves of fear Waves of fear Waves of fear I'm too afraid to use the phone I'm afraid to put the light on I'm too afraid I've lost control I'm suffocating without a word Without a word [Verse 3] Crazy with sweat, spittle on my jaw What's that funny noise, what's that on the floor Waves of fear, pulsing with death I curse at my tremors, I jump at my own step I cringe at my terror, I hate my own smell I know where I must be, I must be in hell I cringe at my terror, I hate my own smell I know where I must be, I must be in hell [Bridge] I'm afraid to put the light on I'm afraid I've lost control I'm afraid to put the light on I'm afraid I've lost control [Outro] I'm afraid to put the light on I'm afraid I've lost control I'm afraid to put the light on I'm afraid I've lost control

Great. You are the first one who published this on KZbin since 2013. Fortunately, i decided to make lyrics for this track on Genius and there is a track.

Do you have any of the original bandcamp mp3s for the other deleted tracks? (civilizashun, in the end, no more wrong or right, pick up your shadow, the other way)

[@9tnine]
