It’s no wonder the album was critically slandered upon release, suffering from low sales, a ban from various record stores, and little to no radio play.
However, a decade later, the album found the success it so deserved, countless amounts of praise from music critics suddenly showering the album and acknowledging its legendary status. The album’s strong influence gave rise to a new wave of experimental sensibilities in music, with Colin Larkin describing it as a “Powerful Collection” that “Introduced Reed’s decidedly urban infatuations, a fascination for street culture and amorality bordering on voyeurism.”
Today, the album stands at “No. 13 on The Rolling Stone’s "500 Greatest Albums of all Time”, No. 1 on The Observers “Top 50 Albums That Changed Music”, and has racked up an impressive number of 10/10 scores from revered music publications.
It’s no wonder the album is so widely celebrated today, and its well-deserved legendary status only continues to grow as time goes on

Sunday Morning
The Velvet Underground Lyrics
Sunday morning
Brings the dawn in
It's just a restless feeling
By my side
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's just the wasted years
So close behind
Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all
Sunday morning
And I'm falling
I've got a feeling
I don't want to know
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's all the streets you've crossed
Not so long ago
Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all
Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Sunday morning

Sunday morning
Praise the dawning
It's just a restless feeling
By my side
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's all the wasted years
So close behind
Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all
Sunday morning
And I'm falling
I've got a feeling
I don't want to know
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's all the streets you've crossed
Not so long ago
Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all
Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all
Sunday morning
비정한세상
Sunday morning
Praise the dawning
It's just a restless feeling
By my side
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's all the wasted years
So close behind
Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all
Sunday morning
And I'm falling
I've got a feeling
I don't want to know
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's all the streets you've crossed
Not so long ago
Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all
Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call
It's nothing at all
Sunday morning

Working. I'm a nanny
The baby is sleeping
It's misty and gray
It's Sunday morning
Going to California next Saturday
I feel so wonderful
I'm so happy
This song is so calming and beautiful
I hope you guys have a great holiday and new year

Rebelliously listening to this on a Wednesday morning

@Zane Goodeker Heroin was much abused throughout the 50s and 60s , and as much as hallucinagenics of the mid to late 60s. But, alcohol beats them all for abuse throughout history!

@rheathesecond I surprised kids are listening to this fabulous wat ahead of its time tune that was written , and I think recorded, in early 1966!
It was released in early spring 1967, before The Beatles " Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band " albumn.
This song is a great psych song, and I didn't realize Lou Reed went that far back to Mid - to late 60s.
The young ones of this time of the 2020s, are finding,or knowing , about some of these 1960s gems is astonishing . It's amazing ! They're regretting in amazement how they were not around those days , and how much the pop /psych , and psych itself of yesteryear pertains , and is very much befitting of today's world!

Currently listening this on Wednesday afternoon lol

@Zane Goodeker Some of the band members were known to mess with smack(heroin).
Heroin was most widely abused than LSD back in the 60s, and evan50s.

One of the first times I had been high, I was riding in a car with a few of my friends. One of them played this song while we were driving towards the sunset and I'll never forget how it looked. The sky was golden around the sun. The rest of the sky was a beautiful, rich pink. It was one of the most breathtaking things I've ever seen. We all stopped talking and laughing, we just watched in silence, completely mesmerized by the sky. I can't think of another moment in my life where I've experienced such a strong feeling of pleasure. I'll always remember this song and that moment.
Edit: I realized it sounds better if you focus in on the bass. Enjoy.
Also, while I'm here: My Sweet Lord when you're high is a spiritual experience and I would highly recommend it (or any George Harrison really).

@Javier Polo Obviously LSD. Such a small quantity of any other substance would have barely any effect

No need for drugs when you listen to great tunes like this.
