Lou Reed (March 2, 1942 - October 27, 2013) was an American rock artist originally from Brooklyn, New York, USA. Especially while a member of the The Velvet Underground in the 1960s, Reed broke new ground for the rock genre in several important dimensions, introducing more mature and intellectual themes to what was then considered a largely simplistic genre of music.
In 1964 Reed moved to New York City and began working as an in-house songwriter for Pickwick Records.

sung by John Cale =============================
Train entering the city I lost myself and never came back Took a trip 'round the world and never came back Black silhouettes, crisscrossed tracks, never came back
Forever changed Forever changed
You might think I'm frivolous, uncaring and cold You might think I'm empty, depends on your point of view Society Andy who paints and records them The high and the low, never turn back
Got to get to the city, get a job Got to get some work to see me through My old life's behind, I see it receding My life's disappearing, disappearing from view
Hong Kong and I was changed Burma, Thailand and I was changed A few good friends to see me through Henry and Brigid to see me through Only art to see me through Only heart to see me through My old life's disappearing, disappearing from view
Forever changed Forever changed I was forever changed
