Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about All Tomorrow's Parties (page 1/1) ------ performed by Velvet Underground sad? hmmm, | Reviewer: gno-wave | 11/10/2008 a very misunderstood song, its not a sad song at all, its about a girl getting the clown on sunday to make her weekly dresses, she cries behind the door to win his sympathy, he possibly being the guy from the night before debauichery... the stylising is wonderful indeed, and invokes a mystical medieval ball, and strange things afoot, in fact i think psychedelic folk bands like the incredible string band and the pentangle would have been proud to have bagged this one, but would they have been able to create the rustic abrasive almost painted tones of cale? very direct, very honest, and they simply allowed the fashionable chemicals of the time to speak thru their own playing, most musicians are too eager for acceptance to do that, the velvets appeared to relish it. i dont think seven those psycchedelic folk bands could have recreated this type of imagined folk style, like a folk tune from no particular culture, seeping thru the chemical haze, , they (pentangle,) would have been too prfessional, too anal, if you will,and that was another key to the success of the velvets, an almost "professional-amateur" approach if you will. very psychedelic for the velvets, who usually come across as speed/heroin heads yoh, they certainly have their pensions paid i should think all tomorrows reviews | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/7/2007 this song is a masterpiece. Its sadness and monotony go hand in hand with nicos beautyfull tired but serious vioce. it is like a sleepy butterfly in a hailstorm. Thanks nico! :-)))) Add Your New Review About The Song
