I love her energy at 2:50 and how she laughs and compliments the people shes singing too. What a treasure. Just found her music, but i literally love 90% of all her songs
Matthew McDermit I agree I hated that music/lyrics back in the 60s and 70s when it was used to destroy from with in. I just look at the girl her talent and what a class act she may become is she leaves that behind. Most of us do with age. I can't see the make up of the folks she's playing to but it could influence what she performs with. Alison Krause's wobbles my knees and curl's my toes. In time she might but not yet😋
Oh man, this remembers me of the summer of 2019. I was 18 years old, solo backpacking in central europe for 3 weeks. I visited Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava and Zagreb. Every day was an adventure... different cultures, new experiences, good food, good beer, hot sun, always great people and my first summer romance. That was freedom. That was life. We should not forget to keep living.
Dude! You made me remember my experience during the summer of 2018. I had the chance and privilege to do a 4-week intensive German course in Berlin. Best month of my life so far. I can totally relate with the "everyday was an adventure" line, it truly was. New experiences, new culture, new people, good beer by the river at sunset... and I was totally living in the present, everyday. Not even planning for the next few days, nothing. It's a crazy feeling, and so amazing... Beautiful memories. Indeed, that was freedom, that was life! It's nice to read someone that has felt something similar than you. Thanks for your comment!
@@RodHammett95 living in the present and adventure... yes! I think that’s an important lesson from travelling. One should try to be a little more adventurous and try to live in the present at home, too. For me it helps to do long walks and self talks to remind me of that. And of course listening to this song :)
Every now & again (probably every 5 months) I find my way back to this video. I breathe in & out, listen, smile and then remember everything is okay. This is one of those performances that heals a different spot in your body over, and over, and over again.
Yes, it did the same to me as it is so bad it took my complete attention. Indeed this is a mind boggling shameless bastardization of the original song. I'm afraid this will haunt me via my nightmares.
She went to my school (Abbott's College Cape Town) and was taught by my drama teacher- I am so proud to see where she is now, always knew she would be famous one day.
In these very difficult times. You can always rely on a random comment or stranger to make u laugh. Like a really proper belly laugh. Lom thank you as ive sharted laughing so hard ❤️🙏😂😂
She has so much light inside her, she's a sun. Looks like a child with and old soul. Nice light and framing in the video to appreciate her, thanks for showing us.
i do this too. good song to pick. It is my form of brainwashing / meditation. Repetive listening of certain songs. I listened to a grateful; dead library a friend gave me once exclusively.. It was two weeks long, all dead, nothing but.
I come back to this video a few times a year as the energy I feel from Alice captivates me every time, this time I shed some happy tears whilst singing and laughing along with the dododoos, thank you miss Alice Phoebe Lou for bringing me such joyful emotion every time I return here 💚
We all miss those kind of moments. Blue sky, fresh air, sweet wong, nice people, good beer in a field with a sweet wind carressing our faces. God damn. I'm behind my desk in Belgium... at work... reallity is a hard shit to deal with...
something about her performance made me give up all my money and things to others who are sad and unhappy...but now of all that I have I am now those people who I helped such a paradox life is
I’m not loving it. It’s interesting that other people who like the original, do like it though. Her voice is great, I’ll say that. But I always thought Lou Reed’s songs suited his voice. They were uneasy tales told from the edge of life. And Lou’s voice, low and deep, slightly off key and peculiar timing, was the kind of voice you’d imagine to be telling these stories. Angelic voices don’t pair well with the song’s story. I think other poet musicians: Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, PJ Harvey, Gareth Liddiard, they are similar. It makes the songs hard to cover. You can’t just grab a guitar & start singing. But that’s just my opinion. I’m a massive Lou Reed fan so maybe I just can’t accept cover versions.
Her smile and laughing at the end of the song made this totally worth watching! Alice brightened my shitty day. I haven’t felt this way listening to a live song in a long time😊
Yes indeed!. She is genuinely cute, and i really love that she does'nt use massive amounts of makeup, or even use makeup to cover those small cute eyebags/puffy eyes :D.. Gives her a genuinely Human and slightly worn/tired look. Love it
Terrific, lovely voice. Very creative with phrasing, rhythm and dynamics. Powerful, playful and soulful. Playing to her internal muse. We are lucky she does. Vocal balm for the soul. More to come, I am sure. Thanks, Alice Phoebe Lou.
This is a song about decadence and depravity in the darker corners of the city. Originally sung by a dark-haired man dressed in black, wearing sunglasses, probably in some darkened club. But here, this sweet young blonde takes it out into the sunlight of a clear day, surrounded by blue skies and cotton clouds, and gives us a bright and almost "cheerful" version of the same song. A truly wonderful version!
Thank you Alice for your heartwarming performance in the park! Thank you my dear who sent me here right now to cherish this wonderful music and remember other times in the park with exactly this light and tender feeling, just for being and do photosynthesis.... ❤
I'm glad I discovered Alice a few days ago but also sad it takes me so long... she's a light in the dark, a star in the night, a blessing for humankind. I can't enough of her, she's wonderfull
Every once in a while you get to see wonderful things in life. The light spirit of this being as she sings and laughs is fenomenal. That's what life is about. Everything else is time wasting
She's so beautiful inside and out. A light with so much lightness. I love laughing when she starts laughing ~ it's like medicine. One of my favorite videos for sure. Thank you for posting this.
I met Alice 15 years ago... Trust me, that voice is even more captivating in person. She can render your legs useless and stop your soul in its tracks Congratulations Alice! From little South Africa to the world! You legend!
@@Dwazedas , covering a song is not about improvement, not really, in my book. More so about interpretation. Re-interpretation. Especially enjoyable when someone who we love reinterprets a song we love, is it not? Also, there is the "got used to (a version)" thing, so when we hear a new version it is literally foreign -- and what do we do with/to foreign, unknown things? We fear them in some form or other, don't we? I'd also love it if more artist would do random new versions of their own songs once in a while. Rewrite a part here, add an instrument there, etc.... =D da fu*k not? (Got reminded of this Lincoln quote too, in the process: "I don't like that man. I need to get to know him better.")
@@mkteku That's not how the average human brain functions: People will choose a song based on recognition, because they are naturally attracted to the least challenging option. Lou Reed's "Walk on the wild side" is a song that you can't "improve" on: You can't "dumb it down" any further.
I see a young lady with the world at her feet and enjoying life. I do wish our young people to be able to ride out any problems with an infectious personality Alice shows.
If anyone's interested, the song is about three NYC transvestites from the 70s who used to hang out with Andy Warhol..Holly Woodlawn, Candy Darling, and Jackie Curtis...
mykeydrive super interesting trivia.. i keep a snapshot of the apollo theatre sign in the page of my lyrics book ,by my walk on the wildside lyrics many dont see the relevance till they hear me refer to it
Trans women** at the time transvestite would've been the right language but today is considered a slur by many. Jus tryin to leave a friendly reminder not anythin more
She reminds me of the teenage girl from jurassic park. edit: three years later and I’m back to this video for a listen. I had no idea that my comment got so many likes ❤
Holly came from Miami F.L.A. hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A. Plucked her eyebrows on the way shaved her leg and then he was a she She says, hey babe take a walk on the wild side said, hey babe take a walk on the wild side Candy came from out on the island in the backroom she was everybody’s darling But she never lost her head even when she was givin’ head She says, hey babe take a walk on the wild side said, hey babe take a walk on the wild side Little Joe never once gave it away everybody had to pay and pay A hustle here and a hustle there New York City is the place where they said Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side I said, hey babe take a walk on the wild side and the coloured girls go Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets lookin’ for soul food and a place to eat Went to the Apollo you should have seen him go-go-go They said, hey Sugar take a walk on the wild side I said, hey babe take a walk on the wild side all right, huh Jackie is just speeding away thought she was James Dean for a day Then I guess she had to crash valium would have helped that bash She said, hey babe take a walk on the wild side I said, hey babe take a walk on the wild side and the coloured girls go Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Thank you so much for sharing these terrific recordings of Alice Phoebe Lou's performances. I grew up to these songs and sometimes become possessive of the originals. But, Miss Alice Phoebe Lou is a true talent. Her version of this is absolutely her own. It is lovely. And so is she. Thanks again!😽💖🎶
A very talented beautiful young lady enjoying and sharing her craft with us. You can see it in her happy child-like soul bearing laughter at the end! Awesome!
What can one say. She made it her own. The important thing is that someone from her generation even thought/chose to cover such an iconic classic. She's consciously keeping Rock alive. Albeit, with a distinctly youthful flair. Good on her! 😁👍
I love this peice of youtube out of all of hers,just cause you can see how much truthfull this is just hear this laugh how much she's enjoying what she's doing...
This could very well be the first reinterpretation of a hit that I ever liked. She sings it so effortlessly where most others try too hard to make it different, squeezing whatever talents they have beyond breaking point. Impressive.
so ive visited berlin for another time and usually i dont stand by seeing street musicians even though i love the fact there are so many. and then i crossed this lovely woman and there is just something magical about her. so i stood there for a while just watching her and i couldnt look somewhere else for like forever. i cant tell you how long it was because i forgot about time. and thats how i fell in love with her.
i just keep on coming back to this video every now and then, beuatifull voice, stunning appearance, top preformance and a out of this world laugh thnx Alice Phoebe Lou.
This cover is absolutely magical. I could listen to this every day and her laugh and voice would still transport me to a place of nostalgia for my past crazy days, and hope for future adventures. Truly a work of art
My girlfriend discovered Alice 6 years ago and we went to see her in SF as soon as we could after we discovered her…. Our relationship just ended after 6 years and I decided to go back and check out this version again. Just brought back chills and tears and such great memories. An absolute incredible, humble and gorgeous artist!

I see a young lady with the world at her feet and enjoying life. I do wish our young people to be able to ride out any problems with an infectious personality Alice shows.
The bliss of being alive and the pain of being alone
So poetic of you to say this.
The strength, character, and soulfulness of her voice at 3 minutes and 17 seconds is mindbendingly beautiful. She owns the song !
If anyone's interested, the song is about three NYC transvestites from the 70s who used to hang out with Andy Warhol..Holly Woodlawn, Candy Darling, and Jackie Curtis...
mykeydrive super interesting trivia.. i keep a snapshot of the apollo theatre sign in the page of my lyrics book ,by my walk on the wildside lyrics many dont see the relevance till they hear me refer to it
Still a great song..love lou reed
Also Joe "Little Joe" Allessandro.
Trans women** at the time transvestite would've been the right language but today is considered a slur by many. Jus tryin to leave a friendly reminder not anythin more
@jack cuddy yes jack!!
She reminds me of the teenage girl from jurassic park.
edit: three years later and I’m back to this video for a listen. I had no idea that my comment got so many likes ❤
Gavin Rutter yea I see that !!!
Really a dichotomy of a sweet young blond singing this gritty, underworldly song
Shit yeah! However she's prettier than the Jurassic girl :-)
Lmao
I don t remember I smoked too much
Heck yes
Holly came from Miami F.L.A.
hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
shaved her leg and then he was a she
She says, hey babe
take a walk on the wild side
said, hey babe
take a walk on the wild side
Candy came from out on the island
in the backroom she was everybody’s darling
But she never lost her head
even when she was givin’ head
She says, hey babe
take a walk on the wild side
said, hey babe
take a walk on the wild side
Little Joe never once gave it away
everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City is the place where they said
Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey babe
take a walk on the wild side
and the coloured girls go
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
lookin’ for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
you should have seen him go-go-go
They said, hey Sugar
take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey babe
take a walk on the wild side
all right, huh
Jackie is just speeding away
thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
valium would have helped that bash
She said, hey babe
take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey babe
take a walk on the wild side
and the coloured girls go
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
I knew someone commented the lyrics, and I was not dissapointed! Thank you very much!!!
thank you
rip Lou.
i can’t even verbally express how perfect this is
Lou Reeds version was perfect, just the way it was. Always will be.
@outsideliesmagic agreed
Lou Reed is smiling with you.
I doubt it
You must know nothing about Lou, lol
Lou would probably sue her.
Lou would shut you up. Immediately! Geez
No he's not lmfao, probably smirking at the most but with cynical intent
I get happy squirms when I watch this. EVERY SINGLE TIME. Love it, thank you 💛
Thank you so much for sharing these terrific recordings of Alice Phoebe Lou's performances. I grew up to these songs and sometimes become possessive of the originals. But, Miss Alice Phoebe Lou is a true talent. Her version of this is absolutely her own. It is lovely. And so is she. Thanks again!😽💖🎶
A very talented beautiful young lady enjoying and sharing her craft with us. You can see it in her happy child-like soul bearing laughter at the end! Awesome!
Damn some people just got talent dripping
I’m about to cry,Lou Reed is especially important for me and I truly love this video
Me too ...
My favorite version ever. So unique and creative. Absolutely amazing!🔥
Lou Reed can rest in peace, succession is assured. Beautiful version of that song !
Her voice doesn't even sound real! Amazing
She may be the most adorable human I've ever laid eyes on
One of my favourite songs with a wonderful rendition. What a powerful voice.
What can one say.
She made it her own. The important thing is that someone from her generation even thought/chose to cover such an iconic classic.
She's consciously keeping Rock alive.
Albeit, with a distinctly youthful flair.
Good on her! 😁👍
I love this peice of youtube out of all of hers,just cause you can see how much truthfull this is just hear this laugh how much she's enjoying what she's doing...
Hey girl, you touch my soul when you sing! Thanks a bunch for share your gift
What a beautiful voice! She brought new life to one of my favorite Lou Reed songs.
She is Asian
This could very well be the first reinterpretation of a hit that I ever liked. She sings it so effortlessly where most others try too hard to make it different, squeezing whatever talents they have beyond breaking point.
Impressive.
Lou Reed is smiling with you.
Thank God this was in my recommended
The cover is so beautiful that there's no words to explain it's magnificence.
Holy-smoke, what an amazing performance. 😊❤😊
Such an amazing voice.
Oh yeah, she is beautiful too.
She sings so honestly with real joy, unabashed, though she’s sung it a thousand times probly.
so ive visited berlin for another time and usually i dont stand by seeing street musicians even though i love the fact there are so many.
and then i crossed this lovely woman and there is just something magical about her. so i stood there for a while just watching her
and i couldnt look somewhere else for like forever. i cant tell you how long it was because i forgot about time. and thats how i fell in love with her.
i just keep on coming back to this video every now and then, beuatifull voice, stunning appearance, top preformance and a out of this world laugh thnx Alice Phoebe Lou.
This cover is absolutely magical. I could listen to this every day and her laugh and voice would still transport me to a place of nostalgia for my past crazy days, and hope for future adventures. Truly a work of art
excellent rendition of a true classic, Lou would like it I'm very sure, RIP Lou Reed...
This video makes me so happy. What a beautiful voice!💗🌼
What is the year? Am I at Woodstock already?
Hahaha i was thinking the same thing my dude...miss those times.. im just an old cat now
if we can time travel just once in our life´s i definitely would go there :D
Me too! My biggest dream is to live something like Woodstock and the summer of love! Let's build a time machine hahaha
eyeswatermaker thats what i was thinking as well
Why build a time machine? Let's have a woodstock now!
My girlfriend discovered Alice 6 years ago and we went to see her in SF as soon as we could after we discovered her….
Our relationship just ended after 6 years and I decided to go back and check out this version again. Just brought back chills and tears and such great memories.
An absolute incredible, humble and gorgeous artist!
