Reseña

La discografía de Lou Reed nos regala la melancolía nostálgica de "Coney Island Baby", un álbum que, de inmediato, se percibe como un regreso a una sensibilidad más personal y emotiva. Además, este disco explora temas de amor, aceptación y la búsqueda de identidad con una honestidad desarmante, conectando con el oyente a un nivel profundo. Por consiguiente, el álbum se siente como una confesión, un diario íntimo transformado en música.

Las guitarras suenan más suaves y melódicas, mientras que las letras de Lou Reed se vuelven más introspectivas y vulnerables. Así pues, la canción homónima "Coney Island Baby" o "Claim to Fame" son ejemplos de su habilidad para crear baladas que llegan al alma. Por otra parte, la producción es más orgánica y menos experimental que en trabajos anteriores, lo que realza la calidez y la intimidad de las composiciones. En consecuencia, el álbum suena reconfortante y sincero, una joya para los amantes de las letras con significado.

"Coney Island Baby" consolidó la reputación de Lou Reed como un maestro de la narrativa, capaz de transformar sus experiencias personales en arte universal. Asimismo, su impacto radica en su capacidad para evocar emociones complejas con una aparente sencillez, fortaleciendo su legado. Por lo tanto, para los amantes del rock con alma y las letras que invitan a la reflexión sobre la vida, este disco es una adquisición imprescindible. En definitiva, es una prueba irrefutable de que la vulnerabilidad también puede ser una fuente de inmensa fuerza artística.

letra de Crazy Feeling
You're the kind of person that I've been dreaming of

You're the kind of person that I always wanted to love

And when I first seen you walk right through that bar door

And I seen those suit and tie johns buy you one drink

and then buy you some more, I had a

I know you had that crazy feeling

now, now, now, you're got that crazy feeling

You know that I've had that crazy feeling, too

I can see it in your

You got that crazy feeling

now, now, now, now, now, you got that crazy feeling

I've had that crazy feeling, too

Now everybody knows that business ends at three

And everybody knows that after hours love is free

And you, you really are a queen

oh, such a queen, such a queen

And I know, 'cause I made the same scene

I know just what you mean, because

You got that crazy feeling

now, now, now, you're got that crazy feeling

You got that crazy feeling deep inside

now, I can see it in your eyes

You got that crazy feeling

now, now, now, you're got that crazy feeling

And you got that crazy feeling, too

I feel just like, feel just like you

(Crazy feeling, crazy feeling)

I'm just a gift to the women of this world

I'm just a gift to the women of this world

Responsibility sits so hard on my shoulder

Like a good wine, I'm better as I grow older, and now -

- I'm just a gift to the women of this world

I'm just a gift to the women of this world

I'm just a gift to the women of this world

It's hard to settle for second best

After you've had me, you know that you've had the best

And now you know that -

- I'm just a gift to the women of this world

(I'm just a gift to the women of this world)

(I'm just a gift to the women of this world)

Responsibility sits hard on my shoulder

Like a good wine, I'm better as I get older, and now -

- I'm just a gift to the women of this world

You know that I'm just a gift to the women of this world

Just a gift now

(I'm just a gift to the women of this world)

(I'm just a gift to the women of this world)

(I'm just a gift to the women of this world)

(I'm just a gift to the women of this world, just now)

(I'm just a gift to the women of this world, just a gift)

(I'm just a gift to the women of this world)

I'm just a gift to the women of this world

I'm just a gift to the women of this world

You're the kind of girl that

everybody's warned me about

You're the kind of person that

everybody's here staring at

But now you are a topless dancer

working out of a bar on Times Spuare

And everybody wishes you were back down in some corner

only Baby know, you make me go

Ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby

ooohhh-ooohhh-ooohhh

Ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby

ooohhh-ooohhh-ooohhh

Your old man was the best P and E man

down on the streets

And all the guy in the precinct

always was watching for him on the beat

But when he ripped off Seymour

he was really not a doing so fine

And everything is knots, well except -

- his hands and legs and maybe even mime

he see they just make them strip off, they say

Ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby, ooohhh

ooohhh baby, ooohhh

Ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby, ooohhh

hey, baby, ooohhh-ooohhh

It's very funny asking me

why they keep the lights on down so low

Well, yesterday's chase's today's competition

or didn't you know

And all the fluorescent lighting make so your wrinkles

they don't show

And it's very funny the way that

20 bucks an hour cannot go

if you don't make 'em go, now, now, now

Ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby, ooohhh

ooohhh baby, ooohhh

Ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby

ooohhh-ooohhh-ooohhh

Everybody wondered 'bout you when you was seen

in drinking some beer

You got here from Ohio and your mother said

you hooked her in the real near

that's the way it goes now

Ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby

ooohhh-ooohhh-ooohhh

hey, shake your bones now, mama

Ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby, ah

hey, ooohhh baby, ooohhh

walk it, now

(Ooohhh baby, ooohhh, ooohhh baby, ooohhh) Get down

(ooohhh baby, ooohhh, ooohhh baby, ooohhh)

(Ooohhh baby, ooohhh, ooohhh baby, ooohhh)

(ooohhh baby, ooohhh, ooohhh baby, ooohhh)

(Ooohhh baby, ooohhh, ooohhh baby, ooohhh)

(ooohhh baby, ooohhh, ooohhh baby, ooohhh)

(Ooohhh baby, ooohhh, ooohhh baby, ooohhh)

(ooohhh baby, ooohhh, ooohhh baby, ooohhh)

You know, man, when I was a young man in high school

You believe in or not, that I wanted to play football for the coach

All those older guys, they said he was mean and cruel

But you know, I wanted to play football, for the coach

They said I was to little too light weight to play line-back

So I say I'm playing right-in

Wanted to play football for the coach

Cause, you know some day, man, you gotta stand up straight

Unless you're gonna fall

Then you're gonna die

And the straightest dude I ever knew

Was standing right for me, all the time

So I had to play football for the coach

And I wanted to play football for the coach

When you're all alone and lonely in your midnight hour

And you find that your soul, it has been up for sale

And you getting to think about, all the things you done

And you getting to hate just about everything

But remember the princess who lived on the hill

Who loved you even though she knew you was wrong

And right now she just might come shining through

and the glory of love, glory of love

Glory of love, just might come through

And all your two-bit friends have gone and ripped you off

They're talking behind your back saying, man

you are never going to be a human being

And you start thinking again

About all those things that you've done

And who it was and who it was

And all the different things you made every different scene

Ah, but remember that the city is a funny place

Something like a circus or a sewer

And just remember, different people have peculiar tastes

And the Glory of love, the glory of love

The glory of love, might see you through

Yeah, but now, now

Glory of love, the glory of love

The glory of love, might see you through

Glory of love, ah, huh, huh, the glory of love

Glory of love, glory of love

Glory of love, now, glory of love, now

Glory of love, now, now, now, glory of love

Glory of love, give it to me now, glory of love see you through

Oh, my Coney Island baby, now

(I'm a Coney Island baby, now)

I'd like to send this one out for Lou and Rachel

And the Lord appeared and he has one made of two

Coney Island baby

Man, I swear, I'd give the whole thing up for you

Somebody's got to help me

this girl's drivin' me insane

Cause some they likes it hot, and some they likes it cold

and some they just don't like it at, like it at all now

Somebody's got to help me

Now somebody she's got to help me

It makes me feel like, ah, that I'm nowhere at all

It makes me feel like I'm nowhere at all

Somebody's got to help me

Cause some they likes it hot, and some they likes it cold

and some they just don't like it at, like it at all now

Picking up pieces of information

Down on the docks

Picking up pieces of information about you

And how to pick locks

Scouting around on the Lower East Side and matresses in the rain

Those uptown ladies with their uptown coats

Come down here to get laid

It's a boring macho trip

And I'm the type that fascinates

Hey, Mrs Pamela Brown, how's the Dakota?

You're twenty eight years old and your face has been lifted

But you still look so much older

You been desoiled and your linen is drab,

You've got the crabs

The things they sell you

Your credit cards

I love you for it

I love you for it

Sell your sugar

I'm a humanitarian

I give it all to myself

That way you're clean

And I stay out of debt

And psychologically you know

Hey, psychologically it's better that I think that I'm dirt

Psychologically it's better that I think that I'm dirt

Don't you know it's better to think I'm dirt

Don't you like to have some dirt

That all it's worth it's just dirt

Cheap

Cheap damn dirt

Hey Pam, dirt

Cheap dirt

Dirt

Uptown dirt

oh-oh, hey, give it to my baby

Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me alone

Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me alone

They're the kind of people that'll always let you down

I know you, too, you don't ever give it a frown

oh, do it, do it, now, do it, do it

Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me alone

They can't tell the floor from the ceiling or the top

And there're other types, they always make you wait

And they're always the first to say, the state you come from

Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me alone

Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me alone

Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me forever

Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me forever

Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me alone, oh
