This song is proof that Nico is equally effective without John Cale's arrangments and just her and the harmonium alone, not that his embelleshments are worthless, because I love them just as much.
I also like Nico's vocal delivery here, because it shuts the mouths of all who say that she just drones along. Her voice is very strong here and there is, as some have already said, a very theatrical edge to this song and in fact, a lot of Nico's work because it is so timeless.
