After Hours
(The Velvet Underground)
One, two, three
If you close the door, the night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out and say hello to never
All the people are dancing and they´re having such fun
I wish it could happen to me
But if you close the door, I´d never have to see the day again
If you close the door, the night could last forever
Leave the wine glass out and drink a toast to never
Oh, someday I know someone will look into my eyes
And say hello you´re my very especial one
But if you close the door I´d never have to see the day again
Dark party bars
Shiny Cadillac cars
And the people on the subways and trains
Looking gray in the rain
As they stand disarrayed
Oh but people look well in the dark
And if you close the door the night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out and say hello to never
All the people are dancing and they´re having such fun
I wish it could happen to me
`Cause if you close the door I´d never have to see the day again, once more,
I´d never have to see the day again

The group hug at 2:28 is so wholesome, I love them

[@InfinitelyQurious]

My favorite band of all time, I only got to see them live once, in Seattle. At the end of the show, Michael Stipe ran across the stage and jumped into Peter Buck's arms. Somehow Peter managed to carry him off, cradled like a baby. It was hilarious-- and remarkable how strong Peter was.

Seeing this when it came out on VHS was a musical turning point. SUCH a beautifully produced concert film. Finally, the end of the Green tour, which sent (certainly) Stipe and other half round the bend for a while. The relief is palpable with this ramshackle (and also sexy) performance of a VU classic, which is then illustrated with the huge hug they all have. God they were a fun band. A band of brothers. I miss them. But I hope they never break the spell, and re-form.
