Cool! We don't get Velvet Underground covers around here too often, especially from their third album.

Nice attention paid to the electric guitar arpeggios, which sound very much like the original. You've also added a cool bass line and piano - enjoyed them. Would like to hear the vocals mixed up a bit higher, but overall it all sounds pretty damn great!

wow this is a real slow burner Zoltan!   8)

It really builds a mood... the vocals yet again sound amazing... sure there is some really nice effect but don't we all sound better in the shower?  Yes, we do...

you are very cool... and this is proof yet again... I think you already know.. I am a big fan..
as great as your music always is and this one is stellar... all the small details... vocals are the star...

he first piano bass notes and the slow intro give this cover a really good hook

There should be more Velvet Underground covers on the site! Lou Reed wrote some great, classic tracks and this one is definitely one of his best! I really dig what you did here, turning it into almost more of an 80s ballad ala UB40. Wonderful intro, great vocals and wicked bass!

It's one of my favourite Lou Reed songs and it's great to hear you doing it. I must say I'm loving the guitar part. Blissed out now.

I wanna be in your band.

This is just marvelous, Zoltan.  The vocal is brilliant, the piano understated but just right.  I'm particularly fond of the guitar volume swells in the solo.

Not familiar with the song, but I really enjoyed this.
Nice syncopated drums and bass lines.
There are only three kinds of drummers. Those who can count, and those who can't.
