Lou Reed的歌有许多都是叙事体，内容对听者而言十分重要，既有内心反省、社会叙事的作品，也有以性爱、药物为内容的歌曲。曲目编排越后音乐起伏越大，听者也随之进入“Ecstasy”之境；不需亲自体验，也能进入“Heroin”的世界。
Lou Reed作为当今摇滚界首屈一指的元老级人物之一，其音乐历程从六十年代至今横跨接近半个世纪，见证了当代音乐文化的万千气象。在离开地下丝绒乐队后，Lou Reed的单飞生涯在三十多年内几起几落，最终修成正果，成为全球亿万乐迷顶礼膜拜的教父式人物。
歌词：
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…
