Lou Reed Lyrics-33 – To me, it all looks the same (from “Gimme Some Good Times”) (Now Playing Week 12)
Poet as mystic ...
More words of wisdom from our guru.
As ever, Lou’s view is objective, impassive, an honest. Whether good or evil, happy or sad, dark or light, it makes no difference. All he wants to do is continue to experience life. Whether beauty or beast, pleasure or pain, it does not matter to the poet / the mystic.
... Looking at life
To him,“It all looks the same.” It all looks like life.
Gimme Some Good Times, Lou Reed …
Thanks for entering this week's #nowplaying!
My pleasure! And I hope a few others can get a bit of pleasure from this, too.
Thanks for the "now playing" campaign.
A genius.
Indeed. A poet, an artist, a master of his craft, a rock'n'roll animal, and a genius.
Personally I think that rock in general owes much more Lou Reed than people believe, that sensitivity and courage to write those lyrics as honest as devastating, are part of the soundtrack of my life
So True! Have you read the "Anthology" (link at bottom of all Lyrics posts.)
This is what I wrote at the end of it ... (Note: I had listened to Lou since the mid 1970s, and, understandably, thought of him as a great rock’n’roll artist. After his death, I started to compile the following selection of some of his great lyrics. It soon became clear that Lou Reed was not only a superbly gifted singer / songwriter, he was also a master wordsmith and a true poet. Of the highest order.)
First and foremost, Lou was creating great art / literature. It just happened that he did so in the field of rock'n'roll.
Everyone is equal, hence it all look the same.
Very intelligence mindset.
Intelligent indeed!
I pity the fool who doesn't know Lou Reed - B.A. Barrackus.
Nice. Maybe this series of posts will enlighten a few of the "foolish" people around the world. ☺
You know, you brought me to listen so much Lou Reed more than everybody else, just through your posts.
