The Velvet Underground - Venus In Furs download

Probably the most erotic song of all times.The rythm is incredible.

the first time I heard this...I was 12, and I knew then I wanted to grow up to be homeless.

I predict a very big future for this young and upcoming band.

Possibly the most threatening song in history until punk and metal came along. Still holds up.

John Cale slowed down the original tempo and added the drone to this song, opening up a whole new musical universe. His musical genius has been generally overlooked considering his enormous musical contribution not only to the Velvets, but also arranging Nico´s Marble Index & Desertshore, also producing the latter and the debuts by The Stooges, Patti Smith and The Modern Lovers, all of them milestones. Can´t think of anybody else who had such a musical impact of what later was to become Punk and Alternative Music.

The most underrated band in history. I don't think it's possible to measure how much they influenced music and musicians in the decades that followed.

if heroin had a sound, it'd be this one.

In 1982, Brian Eno said that while the album (The Velvet Underground & Nico) sold only 30,000 copies in its early years, "everyone who bought one of those 30,000 copies started a band."

The Velvet Underground, there will be no band like them. Ever.

Im convinced Lou Reed is a time traveler who played post punk music in the early 80s and traveled back to the 60s to form a post punk band in the 60s

rock and poetry

I love the syrupy leather scented vibrations of this song. Haunted erotica.

can't believe this is 60's. the whole album is at least 20 years ahead of it's time. what a band!

"Venus in furs" is a novel by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. The term "masochist" was named after Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. "Severin" is the male hero of the novel (written by Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch). FYI the term “Sadism” is derived from the name of Marquis de Sade. "Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather Whiplash girlchild in the dark Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart. Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather Shiny leather in the dark Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart . I am tired, I am weary I could sleep for a thousand years A thousand dreams that would awake me Different colors made of tears ." Listening to the song while reading the novel is a unique experience.
