Femme Fatale de Lou Reed - Velvet Underground & Nico


Here she comes, you better watch your step
She's going to break your heart in two, its true
It's not hard to realize
Just look into her false colored eyes
She builds you up to just put you down, what a clown
cause everybody knows (she's a femme fatale)
The things she does to please (she's a femme fatale)
She's just a little tease (she's a femme fatale)
See the way she walks
Hear the way she talks
You're written in her book
You're number 37, have a look
She's going to smile to make you frown, what a clown
Little boy, she's from the street
Before you start, you're already beat
She's gonna play you for a fool, yes its true
cause everybody knows (she's a femme fatale)
The things she does to please (she's a femme fatale)
Shes just a little tease (she's a femme fatale)
See the way she walks
Hear the way she talks

Nova Iorque, 1967. Inseridos na entourage de Andy Warhol e incentivados por este, os Velvet Underground fizeram um album que é a raiz de quase tudo o que vale a pena ouvir no que ao rock'n roll diz respeito. A Lou Reed, John Cale, Maureen Tucker e Sterling Morrison juntou-se uma diva loira de voz sem grande extensão e sem vibrato nenhum, Nico.
Acho que nunca ouvi nenhuma voz tão friamente cortante e ao mesmo tempo capaz de provocar tanta emoção.
É um dos fundamentos, uma constituição.

Para ouvir sempre.
