Lyrics:
Staring at my picture book
She looks like Mary, Queen of Scots
She seemed very regal to me
Just goes to show how wrong you can be
I'm gonna stop wastin' my time
Somebody else would have broken both of her arms
Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song

In my opinion this is Lou Reed's masterpiece. Absolutely.
❤
There is many masterpieces of Lou Reed
❤
Yr opinion is gold
There is beauty in Melancholy
Didn't Joni Mitchell sing something like that?
One day this song will be remembered by the children of the future as one of the greatest of all time
No one like Lou. So spiritual, high and low, like looking back at life in a picture book. Good night.
Great album, sadly my husband of 40 years is't here anymore. We have more than 20 albums of lou and not a single one is bad. RIP ❤️Lasse and RIP ❤️Lou
Kirsten jakobsen Although my former partner is still alive we are no longer a couple and at first hearing Lou Reed and some other albums we'd grooved to was heart- breaking ,over time it got better and now I have to smile remembering the great times we had, some still make me cry but Lou can do that to me and it's always been the case. I hope you are/will be at the stage where the joy you remember heavily outweighs the sorrow. jules
I send you my love 💖
From Transformer to Berlin is the best one two punch in anyone's career. To think Lou was using alot of chemicals...the work still shines through...still the same man
Goosebumps and tears. Every time.
the Berlin album is amazing. It's one album that can make me smile one day, yet depress the hell out of me the next. Only great music can do that. Lou was incredible.
+Tom Maynard -- No kidding. I had listened to this album about 20 times, until one night I sat outside, with a bottle of bourbon, and listened through the whole album. By the end, I was having a nervous breakdown, bawling my head off, waking the family and neighbors. I almost went to a psych ward that night, but I didn't, and I was fine the next day. I can only wonder what making this album did to Lou Reed and producer Bob Ezrin. It sounds so complicated, stressful, and expensive.
check out Trout Mask Replica by Beefheart for a similar experience. But hide the razors first. Let me know.
try Smile
#moodstabilizers
This album cures me, as most of my depression consists on hiding from hard realities and not dealing with them, I walk without me and this album makes me a whole being, who I am, the same way that Sarabande by Ingmar Bergman does, based on Sarabande by Bach.
BERLIN! Easily one of the best records of the 70s
The best
Jings, it's one of the best albums of all time.
@@privatetartanarmy It is! Lou's magnum-opus! ♥
How did I just discover this one when I had all his other stuff? Amazing. Berlin is what I’d like to have listened to a while ago!💯🤙
😅j'ai decouvert ce disque en 1973, alors que je vivais dans une petite chambre de bonne à Paris. Cette oeuvre magistrale me plongeait dans une forme d'extase et de melancolie. Je l'écoute toujours avec le même ravissement.
the best lou reed album
I'm inclined to agree, certainly his best non commercial en devour.
Undecided between Berlin and Magic and Loss.
Soooo good
@@sanborns Endeavor not en devour.
Transformer ranks pretty high as well in my humble opinion:)
majestic. reed's masterpiece album.
This is beautiful... How can you not like this..awesme !! RIP Lou ... Love You
Berlin is a masterpiece!
Berlin is lou reeds masterpiece,the fact it tells such a disastrous story so beautifully is unbelievable.
As Martin Scorsese said, lou reed spoke the language of people with nothing.
He will be remembered for a long time
He will be remembered forever.
Berlin is a beautiful great album Lou Reed is vero great writing the word and the music of this concept album. He is the best n.1❤
The Berlin album is such a masterpiece. It helds me captive from start to finish. To me it always felt like a film and this particular track would be the one over which the credits would roll IF it was a film. The whole album builds up so much tension which is then released with this song. This is how I personally always experienced it.
you nailed it @ThreeWishesFairy
I can't get enough of this song
great song for a "Sad Song"
this shit makes me tear up late at night in my room just like it did when i was in fucking highschool, beautiful music is timeless. rest in peace Lou Reed he lives on through his music, like all great artists who have died
The melody announces the future
Masterpiece.
Masterpiece
Amen brother
I love Lou.
what an epic "Sad song" chorus
Amazing song. I'm always so disappointed when it ends! Why can't it go on a little bit longer!!
Staring at my picture book
She looks like Mary, Queen of Scots
She seemed very regal to me
Just goes to show how wrong you can be
I'm gonna stop wastin' my time
Somebody else would have broken both of her arms
Sad song, Sad song, Sad song, Sad song
My castle, kids and home
I thought she was Mary, Queen of Scots
I tried so very hard
Shows just how wrong you can be
I'm gonna stop wasting time
Somebody else would have broken both of her arms
Sad song, Sad song, Sad song, Sad song
O
call it as it is .. is always a relief
Sad (best) song.
great song, great album
I had to listen to the original again after watching the stream of the 2006 live version at St Ann's Warehouse that Julian Schnabel made into a movie - streaming live on RUclips until November 29th.
The original is a masterpiece, harrowing and wonderful at the same time.
I'd go so far as to say that Berlin will be remembered as opera, it's like a classical Greek tragedy, complete with chorus - Sad Song is monumental.
I think Berlin is in the top 3 of all time great albums.
The Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band of depression.
Sgt. Pepper ni si quiera se acerca en concepto, musica y estilo a Berlín.
El primero es una pomposidad, el segundo, la desnudez del alma frente al infierno.
@@noctourniquet_ that’s why Simon Jager said it was the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band “OF DEPRESSION”.
I belly laughed when I read your comment. I love Lou and this song, but I also loved your comment here.
Not a Beatles fan anymore. But I love Lou more every time I play an album, especially this one.
I will never listen to that horrible Beatles album again but I'll listen to sweet Lou's "Berlin" for the rest of my life
Berlin's 50th birthday is coming up and I would love to redo it with my take, but I would never know where to begin. It almost seems like it would be sacrilegious. There's only about 10 pieces of musical art that Goosebump me ... This is definitely at the top, I can barely get through the first 5 minutes watching the performance in New York without tearing up immediately. Lou's been along with me all my life and will be missed as well as so many other brilliant artists. Sad song.....
An Incredible song
This album changed my life-
Having been often in Berlin in the 80’s….this album has the exact atmosphere from how it once was over there, very special……
this just blows me away as it did at the time it came out, not fair to hear it out of context but. Lou always believed in this album, so did I
Not fair to hear it out of context is such a great remark. I came to these comments to hear people's perspectives on this tune in particular, but we need perspective of the album as a whole to appreciate how we got to this tone. Good man Lou
I heard lou reed play this song live. In amsterdam.
Sad Song mi fa venire la pelle d d'oca, Fantastica
The most important concept album ever made.make a work so pretentious and with this perfect result is something to admire.Reed was a genius artist
The twin guitars go so well with the orchestra on the crescendos. Lou’s greatest album, for my money.
Bed was so damn sad. I'm glad this song made up and ended on there's hope in the end kind of song to end the Berlin Album. Lou is a genius songwriter. Unbelievable talent he had.
A song about a couple he either knew or heard about. This song was a true story. Absolutely sad. Love this beautiful hope kind of song.
Beautiful song the whole record is beautiful yet dark in places 💙👌🏻
Sorry, Dark in most places. As is Berlin. Dark, disturbing and unsettling. A place where Communism was removed and Socialism is present. But nobody knows as all living there
have been robbed of initiative and don't know how to work. True story. So the LP does fit in.
we miss you lou.
GREAT SONG!!!!
Such beautiful music on this and so easilly, it seems, well written. Can't let it go and respect to all involved in the production. Regards L.R.
Absolutely magnificent x
this gracious song makes me really sad! wonderful song!
Those drums...
Bob Ezrin produced this and you can hear in the arpeggios the influence it had on his later work Pink Floyd's The Wall, particularly the track 'Comfortably Numb'
You can also hear the 'Bob Ezrin' effect on his work with Alice Cooper and Kiss' Destroyer here on this Lou Reed record.
Of course Wagner and Hunter joined Cooper's band for Welcome to My Nightmare.
+Peter -- Of course, you're right. The string arpeggios are just different enough to avoid any plagarism case, but most likely, Bob Ezrin was merely plagarizing himself. Roger Waters and David Gilmour get the songwriting credits, and Michael Kamen is credited with the orchestral arrangements, but this is one case in which Bob Ezrin clearly had a hand in.
From what I've read, Ezrin works as hard as the artists he produces, and he's a very "hands-on" producer, who expects to be treated as equal to the artist. (He claims he "re-wrote" _The Wall_ overnight. Hmm.) You don't hire a guy like Ezrin just to add a lick and a polish.
Funny thing is, after Ezrin imitated "Sad Song" for "Comfortably Numb", Roger Waters and Michael Kamen imitated "Comfortably Numb" for the song "The Final Cut".
The orchestration on Alice Cooper's "Only women bleed" definitely came from this. Especially the guitar fills at the end.
@@kostasxrysogelos yes!
Absolutely and one of the greatest producers of all time if not the greatest
REED deserves an epiphone signature guitar
,perhaps transformer-berlin are the two most iconic photos with an epi guitar on the album cover
Happy 2020 everyone! Life goes on.
this didn’t aged well bro
An absolute masterpiece! You may not credit this, but my late Mom - march 1929/february 2016 - loved listening to Lou Reed!
credit this?
@@reverendayglow
Perfectly correct, if slightly archaic, English.
"Credit" as in "believe". (See "incredulous" and the translation of "believe" in at least Italian and French. See also Mark E Smith's lyrics to Glitter Freeze)
Lou Reed had never been to Berlin when he did this album.
so dark it is bright
too right
Yep
There is life affirmation in tragedy.
Brian • man I always took it the opposite way. Like, this is denial and refusing to acknowledge the narrators role in Caroline’s suicide.
What drove her to suicide, I mean. Like I have very little faith this dude is going to be better going forward. I still think the song is incredible and powerful.
It's Art.
Awesome..best ever song IMO
I can't listen to Lou Reed without thinking about my dad anymore. Born in the same month and passed in the same year. RIP to both my dad and Lou Reed. 2/14 marks four years since my dad's passing. I may just listen to Lou Reed that day. Fuck. Sorry. :(
Shakey Greene sorry for your loss. I think of my dad when I hear Lou Reed too. my dad passed away at 47 when I was 16 in jan '05. my dad loved Lou Reed. we got to see Lou put his hands into cement down in Hollywood for the hall of fame and watched him perform that day. I remember because I ended up with a bad headache through the concert but enjoyed the concert and didn't tell my dad about the headache because I knew he loved his music too much. on new year 2000 my dad decided we'd all play our favorite songs to celebrate new years and his #1 was egg cream! haha. my aunt left me with his cds so I have a bunch I haven't even listened to yet.
i love you, i hope things will be okay for you, hang in there please
Take care. Im sure smwer hes smilin and proud seeing u listenin to lou
It’s ok
Great album.
lou reed spoke the language of people with nothing. so true !
Thx Lou Reed been going thru it sense my mom passed 9 months ago much love to anyone feeling like there not worth it you are u are we are
2 years later, I bet it still hurts. Recent anniversary of my dad, 2020, from 26 years ago. It still hurts. Just occasionally & briefly nowadays.. Love to your mom. Love to you. I wish that ending could go on for hours. Sad Song. He said it. Hope you have found happiness, Landy.x
Beautiful.
the best lou ever! rip my love
Beautiful and magnificent x
a very rare album ! so great !
What a sad song
I've always found this song throw away and complex. Lou Reed is so conversational I find. Like having an intimate chat with a stranger at a bar. Was he influenced by Chuck Berry I always wonder? Berry had much the same technique..."Meanwhile I was thinking...". I listened to this song endlessly when I split up with my wife. He sets you up "I'm gonna stop wasting my time". And then "Somebody else would have broken both of her arms" is so grimly true and funny.
So very true. The conversational intimacy is the mark of a great writer.
? omg, whatever you're on cut the dose.
"Somebody else would have broken both her arms"
It's a sad song indeed.
After first discovering Lou and the Velvets I was left with solo Lou to pursue in the early mid-Seventies. This was the one album of his I played over and over, and it still sounds superb all these decades later. I have never found it depressing in spite of its content, for me it's just too rich for that.
It always cheers me up tbh. I guess it's the catharsis and black humor as well as the gorgeous music.
LOVE
lou reed the complete artist
Complete A*****e !!
Emotional album what make me in deep
I do love the fact that he thinks anyone else would have broken BOTH of her arms.
Probably my favourite song about domestic violence. From an album with a couple of contenders..
It’s SO dark. From the POV of an abuser both wistfully remembering and making excuses for himself at the same time, delivery that becomes more and more emotionless and backed by almost triumphant music. It’s one of a kind.
Man up. I was lucky enough to see it in live. In Tallinn, Berlin Tour, Linnahall (Tenet place).
Masterpiece!
O what beautiful
None of his solo albums come even close to this....none.
genious
Lou ironically name checking Mary Queen Of Scots. I wonder if he knew the parallels with his Berlin to her own in this dramatic story? Guess so. Genius.
maybe the best reed solo song,is an epic progression and arrangements the shape of the loop is awesome.i said to lou that i heard this song 200 times in a row(in gran rex theatre-argentina)
Lou, You're still with us et Berlin est bien le meilleur album
bellissima
This is the album I've had to buy the most. Had people borrow it and never got it back. Buy again. Preach to someone else. Borrow. Not get it back, rinse and repeat. Although annoying it's also admirable as they blatantly either lie about not being able to find it or just vanish from your life with a treasured possession. One guy was extolling the virtues of Roger Waters concept albums, it's like a story... I knew if he borrowed it I wouldn't get it back but fuck it I thought... a story... This is a film for the ears... and it's Fucked up and beautiful... put your Roger Waters in the bin you ain't gonna need them no more and you will see what story albums truly are. Don't know what you will garner from reading this? Either don't lend Berlin out or lend it out and save a soul for the price of it or jesus why have I read this bloody comment? Fin
It's as capable of changing someones life as listening to Beethoven or standing in front of a Matisse or a Rothko - art from the soul that enters the soul. Berlin manages to be raw without being rough - it really is a modern version of a classical tragedy.
When you gift a work like this to someone, it will change them if they are open to it. I introduced Berlin to a good friend, and he ended up changing his surname to Alaska!
Just brilliance x
an all time favorite. i take pleasure in knowing that one day people will discover the beauty in Berlin
Sorry, Dark in most places and not beautiful. Dark, disturbing and unsettling. A place where Communism was removed and Socialism is present. But nobody knows as all living there
have been robbed of initiative and don't know how to work. Public transportation is a mess. You wait for an hour for a menu at a restaurant while the waitresses smoke cigarettes and look uninterested. Citizens are non-responsive until you give them something extra...True story. So the LP does fit in.
Very Beautiful album, the best of Lou Reed.
great song
Listening to this song makes me feel like I'm in the end of the fucking world.
"its just the way i smile" he said
Ho passato,i migliori anni della mia esistenza,assieme; alla soavità, della musica di Lou..ma anke Berlin è un capolavoro
..luigi.b
❤️ R.i.p. grande Lou!!!
It is a wonderful experience.
I love this and vu's version
Awesome. Think that covers it all.
outstanding
Art
Berlin et Rock'n'roll Animal sont mes albums préférés de Lou ❤
I'm having a collapse of self and identity. Lou aligns
To be honest, and as a kid in the 1970s I’d give anything a listen -
Maybe one of the weirdest albums.
I mean, I’m just responding to the comment one of the best albums.
I did come around to enjoying it - still very weird.
"I'm gonna stop wasting my time
Somebody else would have broken both of her arms.."
Lou somehow makes this into a poignant love song
The most ELO-sounding Lou's music got.
yes yes
sad song which sounds happy...
i CRY
