Close to tears over the news of Lou Reed's death. This recording of Pale Blue Eyes, from 1995, is just sublime. RIP Lou. No-one could ever be as cool as you:
"Thought of you as my mountain top,
Thought of you as my peak.
Thought of you as everything,
I've had but couldn't keep.
I've had but couldn't keep.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
If I could make the world as pure and strange as what I see,
I'd put you in the mirror,
I put in front of me.
I put in front of me.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes."
-- Lou Reed (1942 - 2013)
So wonderful, thank you.
