What's funny in a sense about this song is that it may actually be the least depressing song on Desertshore, which is so unremittingly grim I can't stand to listen to it for more than a couple tracks.
For a band full of geniuses, the greatest may have been Nico, who was consistently underrated largely because she was a beautiful woman. I believe she may at least in part have deliberately destroyed her looks out of self-loathing because of this.
Unlike most of the tracks on Desertshore, this is actually somewhat accessible. I'd probably recommend this track to anyone unfamiliar with the album.
(I'd also recommend anyone attempting to listen to the entire album straight through put away any loaded guns or razor blades.)
