What are your favorite albums?

Recommended Posts

smh @ Drama of Exile being above Desertshore or The Marble Index 

 

 

Hahaha, yeah I know that that's an unpopular opinion among Nico fans, and i agree that Desertshore and The Marble Index are definitely the better albums, but for some reason Drama Of Exile holds a special place in my heart, perhaps because it reminds of some really amazing times. :)

Really? I always preferred the 1981 version. Perhaps because I really like the Saeta/Vegas single as much as everyone else seems to do. Purple Lips has always been my favorite.

I fucking love Purple Lips!! And yes, I really don't like the 1981 for some reason. We all have our weird connections to songs but I just think it sounds better in general. . I love Saeta as well. Not that big of a fan of Drama of Exile just bc I feel it  was really rushed and had such a bad release history.

Yeah the release history confuses me as well. But one of the things i really love about it is how personal it seems. I mean, lyrics like:

 

 

 

                                                                                                  It is for granted hear their saying

We are all enchanted staying

Focussing on running down the drain

When those tears are carved inside your brain

New York Lower East Side fame

In a golden circle game

New York Lower East Side frame

 

 

                                                                                                 
Orly flight

Madrid tonight

Close the door

On the last floor

Close the flight

Prepare your sight

As if you'd never

Seen the light

Understand

The fortune spent

Conceal your pain

Conceal your pride

 

 

And also Waiting For The Man is obviously really relevant to her life in that period.
