a great cover shows off the brilliant songwriting of the original and what makes the artist covering it so good. this is the band who made āno rainā covering the velvet underground - took me by surprise when my best friend showed it to me, and it changed my life for the better.

this is one of the most famous songs ever, so excuse my obvious-posting. And being late to the game. This is actually the song that got me into VU this past year. Sure, āVenus In Fursā is pretty sexy and grimy. I was shocked that the same band that made that song made this song. Gave me pause!
if I have kids this will be my lullaby for them. I sing it to my cat while sheās falling asleep- āsadie says/ that im really sleepy/ and a little hungry tooā.
I canāt get over how beautifully observed the lyrics are. Each verse really cuts into something so humanā¦ āI hate the quiet places/the cut the smallest taste/of what will beā. Felt. That.
anyway enjoy.

There arenāt many bands or songs out there you can point to and say āthis changed my lifeā but this band and song did.
It contains one of the dirtiest guitar licks ever recorded, an earworm of melody and noise.
They helped me discover the Velvet Underground š(and kick-started the so-called Paisley Underground movement that gave birth to the Bangles among others).
My band could even play this song and it sounded BOSS (not every cover did, ha). So simple anyone could play it; but only THEY could write it.
I wrote about the PaIsley Underground years later for Magnet: https://magnetmagazine.com/2001/05/18/one-nation-underground-the-story-of-the-paisley-underground/
God bless Steve Wynn and Co š¶ this one's still a keeper many decades later.

my parents convinced me it was a bad thing but they are WRONG. this is how you find new music, this is how you learn history, this is how you go deeper into the internet. it takes a curious mind to go down a youtube rabbit hole. right now, mine is DJ tutorials and demos. iām learning so much!!!!
