Reminded by @vermontaigne:
Walk On The Wild Side
Well, you have to be in the right mental state for this song. It’s got to be about 2 AM or so; you sit by the window in a stark-lit room and listen to it while the wind rustles the leaves outside. So, it has to be a nice night out, see? November and you end up shivering. It’s a good song late at night; with it you end up halfway between thinking and brooding, and the melancholy’s just there to give a touch of flavor to the reminiscing. Just you, your thoughts, Lou Reed, and a cigarette…
(pause)
Oh, hell.
*I don’t pretend to like all of his stuff, by the way.
I’ll be up all night writing. I was wondering what the soundtrack of my night would be; thanks for the perfect suggestion.
And, yes, my window is open.
