Legendary Hearts, 1983
Written by Lou Reed
This song addresses conflicts between an idealized world of love and fidelity (the "good" Lou Reed), and the reality of struggling with weaknesses like drugs, rage, and selfishness (the Lou Reed of the albums). It's a pretty and stately tune built around Fernando Saunders' bass, with a slow, almost country sound. The narrator tells us that one must fight for love, fight for what's right. "No legendary love is coming from above / It's in this room right now."
