Rebelliously listening to this on a Wednesday morning
try it on a monday
Woah... What a rebel. I'm only watching this on a Sunday afternoon and I still feel like a law breaker.
Same here
Defiantly listening to this on a Thursday afternoon
My God...the alpha energy
Remember, this is over 50 years old.
You could’ve convinced me that this came out yesterday
You could have convinced me that this came out last Sunday morning
@@SicklyHeavyHeart it's really timeless, isn't it?
ok
I will take that into account. First time listener
My neighbours are fighting on a sunday morning so I decided to play this out loud to calm them down. It didn't work and in fact they're ever madder now over the music, but what a glorious song isn't it.
🤣 that’s funny and sad at the same time
@Don K Lmao good one
Did you ever go past the radio edit and talk to them? If you can hear them, maybe you can help.
it's okay😂
lmao at least you tried
It's the 10th anniversary of Lou Reed's death.
He, ironically, died on a Sunday Morning. May he rest in peace.
😢😮
Maybe he wanted to? ;)
wdym?
VU was one of the most influential bands after the Beatles
Discovering this album at 18 is a life-changing experience.
@Samuel Powell no
Try some Iggy Pop as well. You might like that.
Try some heroin, you might like that
Absolutely.
@Samuel Powell Would you like some eggs with your spam, mate?
This song always perfectly captured the feeling of trying to enjoy the last bit of the weekend with the looming dread of Monday in mind.
listening to this on a Sunday at 3 am (technically Monday) lol
More like hugging something dear to you before the incoming icbms’s fallout Annihilate you
@Hunter Vonnegut be careful not to engage in an art crime
yea a song about friday and saturday night what costume will the poor girl wear and hide behind the door
i agree. but now i love monday because my job is fun. the best part of my life. that sounds depressing, but ill keep hanging on with a little help from papaver somniferum
The Velvet Underground stole its sound from every band that came later.
*every band that came later stole its sound from the velvet underground
@@justanotherfishinbikinibot6060 Oh, thanks for the info. I thought the Velvet Underground time-traveled to the future to hear what people were playing, learned it, then time-traveled back and fooled everyone into thinking they were musical geniuses.
@@russellbeckley368 now that you've explained it, i think it does make sense
@@justanotherfishinbikinibot6060 bruhh... you..
Im stealin that
Nico's voice lends a masterful somber air to this melody.
I was just listening to a 1967 lp review that claimed that LouReed is actually singing this song, in a brilliant effort to copy Nico...
It this true?!?
i was today years old when i found out people think it's nico singing here
@@fredkrissman6527 It's Lou. Is he copying Nico? IDK, but its the type of song he'd give to Doug; the register is too high for Lou and especially Nico.
Nico is hiding in the background 🔦🎤👱🏼♀
My 8th grade Language Arts teacher was OBSESSED with this song. RIP, Ms. Witiuk, you were a real one. ❤
Ms. Witiuk was a wonderful person to share this with you. We can never forget our great teachers.
Thanks for sharing that! This is one of the few school-appropriate songs from that album. Very cool.
This album has a song for like everything man. Pushers, prostitutes, heroin, love, girls.
The definition of a rock n roll album.
This is very inspiring.
Listening to this song at 4 am.
Was having one of the worst day of my life. But there's something about this song that makes me feel, calm.
So.. soothing
what happing
It's more just depressing than anything. Kinda though yeah.
listening at 3:30 am lol
how are you?
BUT were you guys listenin on Sunday Morning??
I love the way Lou Reed sings this song. It's so delicate.
Nico sings this song. Not Lou Reed :)
@@Revealingstorm. that's definitely Lou Reed
@@danielserpe6710 itr is Doug Yule who sings here
@@madiggy77 Doug wasn't in the band yet. It's Lou who sings this. Sounds like varispeed
@@danielserpe6710Nico does backing vocals on this one.
One of the first times I had been high, I was riding in a car with a few of my friends. One of them played this song while we were driving towards the sunset and I'll never forget how it looked. The sky was golden around the sun. The rest of the sky was a beautiful, rich pink. It was one of the most breathtaking things I've ever seen. We all stopped talking and laughing, we just watched in silence, completely mesmerized by the sky. I can't think of another moment in my life where I've experienced such a strong feeling of pleasure. I'll always remember this song and that moment.
Edit: I realized it sounds better if you focus in on the bass. Enjoy.
Also, while I'm here: My Sweet Lord when you're high is a spiritual experience and I would highly recommend it (or any George Harrison really).
Erik Lindgren I want this experience in my life too
Aleksandra Kietlicz-Wojnacka
take two hits of 120mcg tabs and you'll see sights well beyond description
high on mushrooms? or pot?
looking forward to having such an experience :')
Lol can't believe I'm first to point out you were listening to a song sitting in silence
I had a math test today and didn't sleep the whole night . having an awful headache but this is so soothing to listen to
Sapna Solanki boards eh
what about math test?
I literally read 'meth' test.
im going on math test today hahaha, also chillin before the test
@@DAGAZProject Me too!
This entire album is such a work of art it is astounding to say the least. That jaded city vibe with that rugged addict aura. Mind you this was 1967 they made this!... NOTHING was as raw and brazen as this group putting these songs out at a time where that taboo nature and drugs were completely hush hush. These guys were pure geniuses. I am convinced they were one of the ones who started punk rock and allot of other genre’s
The original psych!
It was so funny how society still feigned innocence in the mid-60's , (I was 4 in 67'). When "The Underground" was just telling uncomfortable truth's about peoples private failings. Oooo it was sooo bad coming these from hipsters, when you could hear the same themes covered in a little brick Church on... yes...Sunday Morning...
@@mosriteminioncause7741 perfectly said. No group did it better!...
I couldn’t have said it better myself! Totally agree!
LOS SAICOS DE PERU COMENZARON PUNK ROCK WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DMEOLICION~~~!!!!!!!!!
The Velvet Underground were such pioneers in so many genres. Here's some dream pop . . .
I’ve listened to rock and roll music for about 60 years now, & I thought I heard it all. But I never heard of this band until lately. I don’t know how I didn’t hear of them? This album is phenomenal! So many songs that I never heard before, & love them. How did I not hear these songs back in the 60’s? I can’t stop listening to them now. ❤😊
You're lying right sorry but I grew up near NYC and my dad took me to see lou reed when I was young how does anyone not know them until recently
@@LeahDyson-kq4bd I wasn’t lying, I really did not hear of them.🤷♂️
I love this video. It's kinda Van Gogh mixed with Klimt.
Wellaspleen ? when you search thru tumblr for 10
mins
1:18 Klimt and Van Gogh side by side
Wellaspleen ? I thought of James R. Eads.
I don't want to be unkind, but that's what we Limey's call "a load of old ballocks". It's "Sunday Morning", a beautiful song, one of VU's best, song by a sadly short-lived woman.
You have to enjoy what it is, not what it isn't.
Or it's a mix of lsd, alcohol, heroin...
Every Beach House song owes a lot to Sunday Morning.
Hello again
haha it's true
apt.
How they never became the greatest band of all I'll never know. So creative and magical
they did, just like.. way after they disbanded..
I bought this album in 1967 and still have it, One of the greats from a time missed for many!
Doug McMullin
Douglas McMullin yes, Douglas McMullin.
Just out of curiosity when in 67 did you by it? Not bieng sarcastic but curious.
Got that spacy haunting pysch melody. Song is very characteristic of the 66-67 flower power hippy times.This might of been recorded early - late 66. I did hear it in spring of 67 , right before Monterey. Actually, it kind of sounds a little like the Mamas and Papas.
My friends sister , a hippy by 65-66 had this record, or album, summer of 67. 67 summer of love.
Sunday Morning was a befitting song for that time period. Heroin usage in 67 was ever imcreasing, evan amongst the hippies; it wasn't just acid, shrooms, and pot. Heroin, cocaine, and meth were making strong headway into society!
1967 things were getting interesting. It's all Vietnam era.
Yo! Bought in 1967! Worth some moola dude.WOW! Not telling you to sell it! Keep as a hard to get classic!
@@hugbug4408 Perhaps if it was still in the shrink wrap. lol
THIS WAS SO UNEXCPECTED, I HAVE NEVER CLICKED FASTER ON A VIDEO THAN ON THIS SUNDAY MORNING
Sounds like a millennial travesty. However did you come out of it? Oh that's right, you never will.
seriously
PodunkPunk is John cale, JJ Cale?
Rusty Leisure No. two different Mr Cale's
Ask about the Cale because on the song Cocaine, it says JJ Cale. Not this song. Question was are JJ & JOHN the same Cales.. BECAUSE I SEEN THAT JJ CALE WROTE COCAINE. WANTED TO KNOW IF HE WAS THE SAME CALE.
Show me a church that will sing this song on Sunday morning and I will go to it.
Here's a song recorded 56 year ago, better than any done today. Long before synthesizer, just John Cale playing viola the bass leading the way and that toy piano. The Velvet Underground was such a great band.
the vocals are weak though.Sounds like he's trying to be breathy to sound dreamy but to me he just sounds like he can barely hold the note but sure
@@chriswoods1955 this is like one of the best vocals.... hauntingly beautiful
In this lou reed actually sounds like he's singing instead of talking like in many of this songs
@@andriyyurchyna8195 yes, I thought that was the idea - he's supposed to sound a bit drowsy - sleepy and lethargic, half awake
synthesizers were very much a thing in 1967 though they weren't in very popular usage
This video came out on a Sunday morning
the piper gates of a dawn
Evan Dickerson "WHERE THE FUCK DID MONDAY GO?!
Evan Dickerson here I am again on a Sunday Morning !
Lou Reed died on a Sunday morning
Andrew G really???
To be honest, I've never been a fan of the album, but there's no denying that this is one of the greatest openers of all time. It's just so perfect.
I used to feel that way, but it grew on me eventually. I love Nico's songs, this one, and There She Goes Again, their were at their best a great "pop" group too which isn't recognized enough.
With viola drone and celesta melody, John Cale gives me that dreamy feeling that shoegaze and dream pop bands spend their entire career trying to replicate
This bassline is addicting. Greatest band of all time.
addictive
Their guitar player, Sterling Morrison played bass on this song.
It's the celeste that does it for me
Lou Reed's vocals compliment the music and vice versa so beautifully.
Vocals by Nico, not Lou!
@@mokhidakhodjibekova1031 ruclips.net/video/0Bc8wZqOE2Y/видео.htmlsi=2PpHCfX2VnrHJgoS you sure?
A truly beautiful song. Thank you Lou Reed and the VU.
It’s crazy to think this song is 56 years old
It is so perfect to listen to this on a Sunday morning while drinking a cup of coffee in the kitchen..
Sunday morning
Praise the dawning
It's just a restless feeling
By my side
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's all the wasted years
So close behind
Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all
Sunday morning
And I'm falling
I've got a feeling
I don't want to know
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's all the streets you've crossed
Not so long ago
Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all
Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all
Sunday morning
hey thanks!
@Irene CAMARGO MACEDO no
Thanks 🙏
Sunday morning, brings the dawn in*
@Hunter Vonnegut that sounds like it's going to be nothing like them
This album completely revolutionized everything I thought I knew about music. I will always treasure this song and album.
ruclips.net/video/MPAcvN_mdI0/видео.html
this will always be my comfort song
A perfect song from a perfect band.
It will all be fine.
This song is my treasure. I've shared all of my favorite songs with my friends but this. It feels like saving a corner of my soul to me only.
Just48boying,
I feel the same way exactly. I happened to find this quite by accident when googling Sandy Dennis Tribute. She was an actress who was fascinating to watch.
Anyhow, I'm certainly happy I stumbled upon it.
Thinking of this, I picture a young person waking up in the morning after a night of pure hedonistic action. They feel all of their wasted time catching up to them and a deep sadness sits in their gut like a rock, a longing for something better. The ultimate feeling of a bleak morning come-down.
Happy song to start my Sunday ☀️☕🌹🎶❤️
Suterday night and Sunday morning. Beautiful!
This was the song i used to listen to after those long nights full of stories and substances... It always calmed me down and let me enjoy the sunrise, a wee break from everything leaving your system. Thanks Lou, we miss you
I was 18 in Detroit, Michigan in my first apartment in 1968. Wore the grooves off the vinyl record of this with my "hippie " boyfriend while the city outside imploded with blacks against whites trying to kill each other. Never used the stuff, but the cut Heroin greatly intrigued me
This could be the perfect film intro and Oh! Sweet Nuthin' as the ending theme.
Their first song, and their last song. What a discography
You are right..it is used in Halston, Netflix.
White light/wwves of fear
The first time I heard this song it was in an old Italian advert on tv about 16 years ago. By now, every time I hear this song I always burst into tears. I don't even know why, I just can't help it.
Its because its heartbreakingly beautiful.
It deals with the truth of that time ehen drug use was becoming rampant. Heroin was the real reality of drugs being used by 67. It wasn't just psychedelics, but opiates were also gaining in drug use.
It's sad but beautifull tune. Just like smack! It makes a person feel heavenly until the withdrawal symptoms start; then it's hell!
@@yagots2feelit Song came out mid april 1967 ! Psychedelic song for sure .
My friends hippy sister had this album , or 45 , way back then . Sad that his brother was sent to Vietnam much later that year !
Sunday has now become my favorite day of the week because of this song.
What an amazing album of amazing songs. It’s in a different league than all my other favorite debuts.
Rebelliously listening to this on Tuesday morning
Rebelliously listening to this on Thursday night.
This song is such a strange beauty! I love it so much!
Nothing comes close nowdays.
波をつくる人は至るところに🌊🎵
聴けば聴くほどハマりこむ不思議な世界！
Velvet大好き🎵
Beautiful song. I can't explain the beauty of it It is just magical to me. I have listened to this for thirty years and I always love it. When I am in trouble with my own memories the song helps.
Whoever listens to this song and knows what day of the week it is, is externally determined.
The message is, every day should feel like a Sunday morning.
Love this album .. especially Heroin. A Masterpiece.
@Samuel Powell Would you like some eggs with your spam, mate?
It's weird to think that this is so old that some members of the band have died of old age, and it sounds like it was made in the 90s or 2000s
Yes, we're all dying off, some sooner than others! Many died at the time - suicides and overdoses ...
The alternative rock genre basically stole everything from the Velvets!
Hailey Shannon “Steal” isn’t really the right word. That’s like saying Metallica stole from Black Sabbath, or the Clash stole from The Who, or the Beatles stole from the Everly Brothers. They were influenced, and for good reason. The Velvets pioneered alternative rock, set an amazing explain for people to follow.
Sterling Morrison most definitely did not die of old age though. The poor guy was only 53 when he passed away in '95 from cancer.
@@Ryan-on5on sterling :(
My ex showed me this song when we first met, so ironic, nostalgic and sad now.
Hope you're feeling better now and can enjoy the music for the sake of the music and not connect it to painful memories
I listened to this in a 2021 Valentine's Day.
A Sunday Morning.
Listening to it on a sunny Sunday morning. I have always loved this song. Wonderful Lou Reed.
This is the song from the first album that I'd say that was ahead of its time the most. It still sounds fresh to this day.
I started listening to this song in 2010 and here I am still listening to it 14 years later on a sunny Sunday morning in Aotearoa. What a great album!
Timeless...the Velvets were so ahead of the game...and I love Nicos solo work
It gets more distant around the minute mark - so good.
Man this is amazing. RIP Lou Reed.
Just brilliant. Especially the way the song lyrically shifts from first person to second person seamlessly.
The birth of hope in a smashed heart.
I can’t help but feel a dark undertone to this song...
Me too!
It’s a little bit happy, a bit nostalgic, a bit foreboding ... a lot like life ...
It deals with dealing with heroin addiction back at a love flower power time. Psychedelia wasn't about hippies always. Punk/ garzge was the original start to pyschedelia!
Brilliant. Brilliant in its simplicity. Forever
This is the perfect lullaby - soothing and scaremongering
Nico and Lou and Velvet will be the only ONES FOREVER ... after all these years it's such a beautiful and incredible song, beauty! This is song for EVERY morning ! I love them twenty years....and still.
Lovely song, great album. Bought my copy last summer, terrific for walks in the woods.
The album as a whole is so ahead of its time. I couldn't believe it was made in the 60s when I first listened to it.
When was that?
イントロとギターソロが泣けてきます
Sunday Morning" is] about how you feel when you've been up all Saturday night and you're crawling home while people are going to church. The sun is up and you're like Dracula, hiding your eyes.
According to Reed, the song's theme was suggested by Andy Warhol. "Andy said, 'Why don't you just make it a song about paranoia?' I thought that was great so I came up with 'Watch out, the world's behind you, there's always someone around you who will call... It's nothing at all' which I feel is the ultimate paranoid statement in that the world cares enough to watch you."
Think Brian Eno said it best about VUs first seminal release, this wasn't a commercial release, it sold maybe 30k it's first few years, but everyone one of these went out and started a band. When something gives you the onus to go do something and it did for so many, it's influence is inexorable.
Bro, what a wonderful song, nothing more to say about this masterpiece.
I've loved this song since forever. I truly love how this animation captures and expresses the emotions of the song. Thank you to James Eads and Chris McDaniel for a stellar video representation of a song that is entirely existent on an emotional level. That's a hard thing to pull off Well done.
What a fantastic band the Velvets were. The prettiness of this on one hand and Heroin and Waiting for the Man on the other.
This masterpiece badly needs remastering.
Would be nice if the same demixing technology used on Beatles early recordings was used to separate everything into individual tracks and given a new mix. Background noise could easily be removed too. Some albums deserve to be conserved, and this is one of them.
Lou Reed’s vocals are hauntingly beautiful here.
It aint lou haha
@@beestonpoet Yes, it is. Nico sang it on live performances, but when this studio version was recorded, Lou was on lead vocals, while Nico was put on backing vocals.
@@jacobcormier5532 doug yule is singing
@@madiggy77 Yule hadn’t even joined the band yet.
I think i'm in love with this band. So innocent and pure heart. Soothing voice, lyric and sound.
This song and this album became absolute classics already in the early 70s, despite not having commercial success, more than a timid entry on the billboard 200, the influence they had on important musicians was enormous, and that is why it is He began to recognize this album, by 1974 it was considered one of the best and most influential albums in history, and by then Lou Reed already had a successful career as a soloist.
Thanks, in no small part to Bowie.
THE JOY IN MY HEART RIGHT NOW
Love this. Trancey vibe. Lovely melody. I could wake up to that every Sunday morning. Nico died to young she was beautiful looking.
There IS ring-tone creators for your phone....so you cold.....
Wonderful music , made by people who were happy just to make it - never grows old ! The best band..........EVER....for ever !!!
I love this song 🎶 from 1967 R.I.P the late great Nico😀👍🏿😞🙏🏿🎶🎸
My favorite song from this amazing album. So relaxing to listen to.
This is definitely one of there more relaxed songs off of with Nico. This whole album is very high strung because it's from when Warhol was actually involved in it so the high art thing is more present+some of the worst of Lou Reeds Heroin Problem. You might like Loaded better as a whole. Later albums ofc do not include Nico though although I suspect she did backing vocals on New Age (also off of Loaded). Self Titled is good too but it's less Psychedelic.
@@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms The Velvets can be classified into two sections: the Cale era (the "banana" album and White Light/White Heat) and the post Cale era after 1968. Similar to Pink Floyd without Syd Barett or Joy Division without Ian Curtis (at least they had the decency changing their name to New Order) they lost their cutting edge, Reed wanted success and finaly become a rock star, whereas Cale was more interessted in pushing the musical boudaries furthermore. After being kicked out of the Velvets by Reed, Cale went on to record the first (proto-) goth lp in rock history by arranging and co-producing Nico's Marble Index.
one of the best album of 60th rock
Close to my favorite song on close to my favorite album
First heard this in Rock Poetry Class, their most melodic song & it should have been a hit, but definitely ahead of it's time, & Nico's alto is unique in itself!
Love this song since my youth, always sth special to listen it
I bought this album when I was 15. The Banana on the album cover actually peeled to reveal a pink banana!! Truth!
great 50 years
one of the greatest songs
got this album and Freak Out by Zappa for my first albums when I was 7 years old lol, back in 1970
This - Ladies and Gentelman - is the 60's in one song. The pure sound of a legacy ... 52 years ago. I was a kid at that time.
amazing...
I LOVE THE VELVET UNDERGROUND,
Da!
ME TO
I´ts Sunday afternoon and I just realised that I have been listening to this album for fifty years (18-68)
Glorious.
"i've got a feeling i dont want to know" beautiful
Strange. Perfect
The video reflects those times more than the band, it's so thoughtful tho, and such a sweet and at the same time kinda dark song, a classic, i love it!
mhm
Ciclopea2 The song has a very sinister feel.
Can you explain your thoughts on the darkness? Because I feel it too,yet I can't explain it
Jesus Christ I dont feel it :(, just happiness and innocence
Yes it's quite dark.
It's about a young man that likes going out at night , to drink and take drugs , but after a while he understands that he has thrown away the best days of his life.
Tune!!!!!! Makes you feel so chilled out, nice one Lou Reed 💖
TUVEVO this is incredible. James Eads whoever you are your artwork and video for this beautiful haunting iconic song is pure audiovisual alchemy. I am in awe.
Discovered this song on a sunday morning. Soul warming
