A Proper Happy New Year's Day

Please have a perfect day (thanks, Lou Reed) but you MUST watch this:



Just A Perfect Day,
Drink Sangria In The Park,
And Then Later, When It Gets Dark, 
We Go Home.
Just A Perfect Day,
Feed Animals In The Zoo
Then Later, A Movie, Too,
And Then Home.

Oh It's Such A Perfect Day, 
I'm Glad I Spent It With You.
Oh Such A Perfect Day,
You Just Keep Me Hanging On,
You Just Keep Me Hanging On.

Just A Perfect Day,
Problems All Left Alone,
Weekenders On Our Own.
It's Such Fun.
Just A Perfect Day,
You Made Me Forget Myself.
I Thought I Was Someone Else,
Someone Good.

Oh It's Such A Perfect Day, 
I'm Glad I Spent It With You.
Oh Such A Perfect Day,
You Just Keep Me Hanging On,
You Just Keep Me Hanging On.

You're Going To Reap Just What You Sow,
You're Going To Reap Just What You Sow,
You're Going To Reap Just What You Sow,
You're Going To Reap Just What You Sow...


happy new year!

    I have goosebumps all over listening to this, Elizabeth. Thanks, it's just perfect - all these brilliant voices, instruments and identities coming together care of Lou Reed, I take it. Just perfect.

    I've never been a fan of Lou Reed since I read a Rolling Stone article in the late 60's about him eating poop and bologna from a glass coffee table. I have to say, however, this was fantastic. I'm sending it to my oldest who is a huge Lou reed fan. Doo dee doo dee doo dee dooooo.

    Thank you so, so much. This just stopped me. I was going through a stack of mail I just picked up from the post office, pushed the play button and just stood here with my hands full of mail, watching, listening. I'm downloading so I can look & listen some more.

    And how about that Tom Jones? He can still have a pair of my flung underwear any day.
