| The Velvet Underground – Sweet Sister Ray Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I'd really like to hear this. These are honestly some of Lou Reed's most interesting lyrics, improvised though they may be. I've never heard him allude to his own electroshock treatment in a song before. | |

This song proves to me that proto-punk is in fact more interesting than punk. Heaver, too. I'm about half sure that John cale's keyboard break after the second verse (at around 2:18) is the most badass groove ever committed to record. Listing to Sister Ray is cathartic and sublime. I had the pleasure of writing a three page essay about this song for one of my art classes. You can read it here: http://call-me-yossarian.xanga.com/707770085/sister-ray/ |
