Velvet Underground, The - I'll Be Your Mirror Lyrics






I'll be your mirror
Reflect what you are, in case you don't know
I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset
The light on your door to show that you're home
When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
'Cause I see you
I find it hard to believe you don't know
The beauty that you are
But if you don't let me be your eyes
A hand in your darkness, so you won't be afraid
When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
'Cause I see you
I'll be your mirror

  5. K.... G....

    Amazing how it is, my daughter came home from a trip to London and she had bought a t-shirt representing the Velvet Underground, I wasn't shocked; with my playing of music, ( I make no apologies) for some years I may have instigated an intrusion on her developing mind. I firmly believe that Dad has a responsibility, to know that his princess knows the game xxx

    "Two albums stood out in 1967, that turbulent year half a century ago. One came from the British side of the Atlantic – the Beatles’ Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band – and the other from its American shore – The Velvet Underground & Nico. Between them, they changed the sound of sound."

  25. S.... t....

    Ah. Bebop

  26. 5.... ....

    I remember a few songs from when I was thirteen, and I really remember this one. I don’t know why, but it changed my whole life.

  27. F.... P....

    Everything from the plucky guitars in the background to the weird way Nico annunciates, this song is awesome.

  28. S.... B....

    What a tune!

  29. s.... p....

    Sound is so pure and clear

  30. J.... 3....

    Few songs are able to capture this much emotion in just two minutes.

  31. D.... S....

    Los Nikis - Yo soy tu sombra

  32. t.... l....

    It remember me, when I drove on the indina's road with my wife. <3<3

  33. A.... R....

    La primera vez que vi a Nico fue en un anuncio de un coñac español, montada a caballo.

  34. K.... ....

    I'll be your mirror
    Reflect what you are, in case you don't know
    I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset
    The light on your door to show that you're home

    When you think the night has seen your mind
    That inside you're twisted and unkind
    Let me stand to show that you are blind
    Please put down your hands
    'Cause I see you

    I find it hard to believe you don't know
    The beauty you are
    But if you don't let me be your eyes
    A hand to your darkness, so you won't be afraid

    When you think the night has seen your mind
    That inside you're twisted and unkind
    Let me stand to show that you are blind
    Please put down your hands
    'Cause I see you

    I'll be your mirror
    I'll be your mirror
    I'll be your mirror
    I'll be your mirror
    I'll be your mirror

    K.... ....

    KIM (reflect what you are)

    K.... ....

    Thank you

  35. W.... a....

    Thank God for Lou and Nico. (and the rest of the gang)

  36. S.... ....

    I'll be your mirror
    Reflect what you are, in case you don't know
    I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset
    The light on your door to show that you're home

    When you think the night has seen your mind
    That inside you're twisted and unkind
    Let me stand to show that you are blind
    Please put down your hands
    'Cause I see you

    I find it hard to believe you don't know
    The beauty you are
    But if you don't let me be your eyes
    A hand to your darkness, so you won't be afraid

    When you…

  37. d.... ....

    dedicated to my love....

  38. A.... ....

    1:00 Si eso no es el Cielo no sé qué es..

  39. M.... S....

    i hate mirrors

    M.... S....

    @marsh sherrif damn. You dont like what they show you or you dont like what you see in them? Or you just kidding?

    M.... S....

    left and right is ok. but why not up and down?

  40. J.... B....

    Still don't know.

    J.... B....

    @janet bernath But you should. Just look into a mirror.

  41. B.... ....

    Just about this whole album really sucks, their later stuff was much better, this tune is a junkie singing a pretty but very saccharine song totally devoid of emotion.

  42. A.... M....

    Ate Sempre Nico

  43. M.... L....

    Need this song to be at least 10 min long!

  44. r.... ....

    This remind me of the song "through the tulips"

  45. J.... G....

    I don't think anyone would come up with this very subjective interpretation but to me this is a song about God's relationship with his children. I doubt there might be a Christian here but if you also came up with this interpretation let me know!

    J.... G....

    @jonathan gil santillan never looked it that way,but you are right. And you dont have to be a christian to have a god,just saying......😉👍

  46. N.... N....

    That outro makes my eyes a' water

  47. b.... ....

    Is this psychedelic rock?

    b.... ....

    @blackmonolith its just a love song. Rest of the album is 60s experimental,i guess.Or just lou reeds genius

  48. s.... ....

    This was played on my dads funeral to show the love he and my mother shared. He passed away too young at 62 <3

  49. w.... ....

    This song makes love to you. It is crazy.

  50. M.... S....

    Beautiful

    @rinchenSherab66 👍😀

  52. G.... C....

    Compositionally and lyrically so simplistic yet incredibly powerful. The external world is merely a blueprint for our inner world, its a mirror. Therefore, there are no victims...only creators. A timely reminder for most of us in this holographic reality.

    G.... C....

    This a great comment

  53. T.... ....

    Literally wearing their Jacket HAHAHA

  54. D.... M....

    How the fuck are you going to complain about Nico's vocals and pretend as if any other version of this song would sound as good?

  55. Y.... Y....

    Forever love this song

  56. i.... ....

    35 plus years ago I dj'ed for a college radio station. A number of my fellow dj's had this album. Never had the opportunity to give this song a listen. Fast forward to the present. This song was featured in an episode of the CBS crime drama show "Cold Case." I have fallen in love with this song and the other ones on this album.

  57. A.... ....

    Bellissima canzone di uno degli album più belli della storia della musica

  58. A.... R....

    My boyfriend sent me this song after a fight. I cant stop crying.💓💓💓💓💓💓🙌

  70. G.... M....

    Just nice to hear ...and an amazing voice

  71. C.... L....

    This was the song we chose to walk down the aisle and exchange our vowels.

    C.... L....

    omg that is so sweet! I'm melting from hearing that.

    C.... L....

    I hope you didn't forget about the consonants...

  73. O.... ....

    Always makes me think of Rumi's lines "You would rather throw stones at a mirror? I am your mirror, and here are the stones".

  74. A.... L....

    I used to sing this song to my baby - 45 years ago - I'd sing it myself or sometimes I would put the song on "repeat" on the
    record player. Worked EVERY time. She still loves it - one of her favorite songs.

  75. J.... T....

    The sound of Love

    I love VU, but I never heard this song until I heard Mazzy Star's nod to it in their song "Blue Flower"

  79. D.... H....

    Rip lou

  80. B.... A....

    Beautiful 💙

  81. A.... F....

    One of the most romantic and touching songs ever written.

  82. N.... P....

    Who’s the voice behind this? Lou reed?

  83. T.... M....

    The Good Doctor brought me here

  84. D.... P....

    Nico was amazing.

  85. j.... ....

    One of the most transcendentally beautiful songs in the history of "popular" music. It can make me cry after all the decades that have passed. Nico is perfect, the band brilliant. Still have the original LP with the "peel and see", a classic.

  86. t.... ....

    I heard a cover of this by Clem ? somebody that sounded pretty good. I love the song "Heroin" by TVU. It reminds me of a Supernatural episode where Crowley was addicted to human blood. Sorry, I kind of went off topic here. LOL! This song is a great song and a good find. 😎

  87. J.... D....

    i loooove her voice sooo much <3

    I want to hug whoever sung this song!

    Don't listen to Nico or Lou Reed when going trough a break up

  91. c.... h....

    Still waiting for some strange beautiful stranger to sing this song to me.

  92. J.... M....

    This must be the most beautiful song ever written

  93. M.... L....

    Beautiful, exquisite. As Jim Morrison would say: Stoned. Immaculate.
