European Son | The Velvet Underground & Nico | 4K Music Video

Описание: "European Son", also known as "European Son", is a song written and performed by the American experimental rock band The Velvet Underground. It appears as the final track on their 1967 debut album The Velvet Underground & Nico. It is also the album's longest track at more than seven and a half minutes.

The song could be seen as a precursor to the band's next album White Light/White Heat and to the song "Sister Ray", a seventeen-minute-long rock improvisation.

"European Son" is dedicated to poet Delmore Schwartz, who had been Lou Reed's advisor at Syracuse University. Wanting to dedicate a song to Schwartz, "European Son" was chosen because it had the fewest lyrics, as Schwartz made his distaste for rock lyrics clear. The first pressing of The Velvet Underground & Nico referred to the song as "European Son (to Delmore Schwartz)".

The song was recorded in April 1966; Schwartz died alone in Manhattan three months later, on July 14. According to musicologist Richard Witts, the song "reads like little more than a song of loathing" to Schwartz, who refused to see Reed while living out his last days in seclusion in Midtown Manhattan. Witts highlighted obscure personal details in lyrics such as "You made your wallpapers green", and found the "Dylanesque" "hey, hey, bye bye bye" refrain "a malicious farewell to its subject".
