Lou Reed Lyrics-54 – It’s called “growing” (from “Interview”) (Now Playing Week 23)

in #nowplaying6 years ago


In certain ways, Lou Reed was seen as the classic rock star, living a life of decadence and debauchery, creating avant-garde art, and even having a Top-40 hit.  

Living, experiencing, creating ... everyday  

But in many other ways, he was much more than that. A poet, a writer, an artist living his life and experiencing his world, and creating fine art to capture (and present to us) the magnificent experience of life in the world.   

It’s called “growing” 

All the while, he was primarily a human being, experiencing existence and doing what all living beings do, and what all sentient beings can do with even grander results. “Growing.”   

Quote during interview,  Lou Reed   (@ 1:40) …

Coincidentally, just a few months ago, a fellow Steemer (the talented and creative @hanggggbeeee) had expressed a similar thought.

In her short but excellent bilingual post, she concluded with the pithy and pointed statement“It is called growth.”     You can read her timeless wisdom here. Lou Reed, Anthology of Memorable Lyrics. Images sourced from Google Images

He was once the lead guitarist, singer and primary songwriter for the rock band the Velvet Underground and also had a solo career that spanned five decades. The Velvet Underground done little commercial success for the duration of their existence, but at the moment are regarded as one of the crucial influential bands in the history of underground and alternative rock tune.
Thanks @majes.tytyty for sharing this one

Lou Reed is sure a real talent. When you see someone with so much gift that drives inspiration out of someone. When i see poets and artists i see them as professional dreamers, for they take us to a land we have never been

if i am right that lou reed was no only a singer but he had performed in many other fileds with te same passion as in singing like poetry, writer and other fields ..
He was a multitalented guy giving 100% in every field and getting even better results...

Absolutely.. We experience different things with each passing day... It is not the same... There is modified version of ours... It is called growth..

Through your post I came to know he was a great man.
