My father hates Lou Reed...He just can't get behind his voice. Despite my best efforts, it's just not his thing. But "The Bed" is the one song he likes. I'm glad. This is probably Lou's secret masterpiece. People laud Transformer up and down and the title track from Street Hassle is arguably his artistic peak, but Berlin is his best album post-VU. Harshly criticized in its time but justifiably beloved in hindsight. The whole album is filled with fantastic songs, but there's just something so innately personal and perfect about this particular track. Lou really understood the deepest, hardest parts of the human condition, and he could express this empathy with simple, quiet guitar. He was a genius.

Perfectly put. I agree wholeheartedly....Those haunted ghost like vocals at the end are.....terrifying! P.S. 'Street hassle' - Absolutely brilliant. Featuring Bruce Springsteen - it took me years to investigate that - and it dawned on me that it sounded very much like him....!

Berlin is a special album, arguably one of the most depressing records ever made, along with Leonard Cohen's Songs of Love and Hate (also great). Berlin will always be my favorite Lou Reed solo record, along with The Blue Mask.

One of my Desert Island Records. Keeps it Real. Pain and Beauty . Lou Reed's Perfect followup to Transformer. A Curveball the Record Company Didn't see coming. The Sinker was Metal Machine Music. LOU REED was Real as it gets.

@SimonRobeyns Жыл бұрын

that outro can easily be seen as a pure goth rock pioneering moment almost 10 years before even the likes of joy division. It's crazy. What an absolutely crazy record. Like youre in the imagination of a drug addict going through the extreme lows and like in the song that follows a little bit of a high and then another extreme low absolute rollercoaster of an album

Lou Reed's voice is great. It's between a baritone and tenor I think. Has a velvet feel to it.

@Colonsigmoide 5 жыл бұрын

More like a bass/baritone. Absolutely not a tenor.

@Brian-sh5ne 4 жыл бұрын

Juan Perez baritone and tenors are voice ranges. Baritone spans the lower pitches of the human vocal range (tending to sound masculine) and tenor is higher but certainly not the highest (I’m not exactly sure where tenor falls on a piano). And all you need to know about Lou Reed is in the music. All you have to do is listen.

I remember the Rolling Stone review of this record when it first came out. They HATED it. It was such a scathing review that I cut it out and taped it to the record cover as a joke because I thought it was his best album.

This is the place where she lay her head When she went to bed at night And this is the place our children were conceived Candles lit the room at night And this is the place where she cut her wrists That odd and fateful night And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling This is the place where we used to live I paid for it with love and blood And these are the boxes that she kept on the shelf Filled with her poetry and stuff And this is the room where she took the razor And cut her wrists that strange and fateful night And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling I never would have started if I'd known That it'd end this way But funny thing I'm not at all sad That it stopped this way Stopped this way
