this song is getting even better with age.oh, and magic and loss is one of the best albums ever made.

[ShawnMcClearn-Yinzer-At-Heart]

This is the sound of a man wrestling with his own grief. The fact that somebody who lived so nihilistically stopped and reconsidered things due to the deaths of two friend makes this song so hard hitting.

Such strange music, strange beautiful music. His music sounds like beat poetry drafted over rock and roll. I love it.

Lou didn't sing his lyrics. He spoke them. Brilliant.

What a songwriter. I love this song. Lou will always be a hero to me. “Life’s like Sanskrit read to a pony, I see you in my mind’s eye strangling on your tongue” 👏👏👏 “Magic and Loss” is a masterpiece.

It tickles the absolute mess outta me that other people appreciate this album as much as I do. 🖤

[jeffharper]

Magic and Loss is special. It's straightforward but somehow manages to remind each of us of someone they knew.

[jonathancarter]

New York was a fantastic album full of absolute gems, a classic but this album even surpasses that, it's magnificent. This is the very best offering from Lou Reed.

A few months after my mother died, I saw a review of this album, featuring the lyrics of this song. I bought it just for the promise of "weirdness." Instead I got so much healing. I tend to recommend this album for anyone in mourning.

[kevindearmond]

What a talent! He did this kind of thing so well

[Evertnr]

[abelundercity]

The album Magic and Loss was written as a tribute to a friend of Reed's who had died of cancer. I listen to it when I lose someone important in my life. It helps.

[saravos]

My best friend died from cancer, now i have only these songs to comfort me

[ShawnMcClearn-Yinzer-At-Heart]

The song is made me think about my dad since 1995. I still miss you everyday.
