The Power of the Heart by Lou Reed

“Peter Gabriel wrote a really wonderful tribute on his FB page earlier and this is the song he covered on 'Scratch My Back'. The more trivial press keep citing the excess Lou lived and wrote about, but if you look you can find so much compassion & love on all of his albums. This was apparently written for Laurie Anderson, now sadly his widow.”

A sad day.....this is one of my favourites, Gabriel did an outstanding cover..........beautiful heart felt lyrics.... Still brings a tear if I'm honest. Wherever Lou is I'm sure he'll be playing a song......   2
