| The Velvet Underground – Heroin Lyrics

'Heroin' is probably my favorite song ever made. Never before and never again will a song make me want to cry and smile at the same time so much. Reed saying "heroin" is probably the most beautiful and goosebump inducing part of any Velvet Underground song. 'Heroin' is simply beautiful. |

Honestly one of the best songs on 'The Velvet Underground and Nico'. The song was originally written with Nico taking the lead vocals but I think Lou Reed sings the song beautifully with The Velvet Underground's signature deadpan delivery. Nico also provides the most goosebump inducing backup I've ever heard on any track ever. Too bad the rest of the tracks on 'The Velvet Underground and Nico' weren't as well produced as 'Sunday Morning'. |

@[drgonzothx:26492] I have to disagree with both of the claims that this song is an 'attack' or an 'emulation'. While the album Loaded was in conception, Lou Reed was told by Cotillion Records that he needed to take Loaded into the direction of having more radio friendly hits on it. Songs like 'Rock and Roll' and 'Sweet Jane' shined as highlights of this album while other songs like 'Who Loves The Sun' kind of fell below the radar. Lou Reed wasn't 'attacking' or 'emulating' anyone. He was just trying to write more folk inspired, radio friendly songs for Loaded. It does have similarities to George Harrison/The Beatles track 'Here Comes The Sun', but if anything it was something Reed was inspired by, not something he would attack or emulate. |
