perfect day

To me this portrait conveys a strong sadness. I immediately thought of the song ‘Perfect Day’ by Lou Reed.

 

Darling Harbour, Sydney

Perfect Day - Lou Reed

 

Just a perfect day

Drink Sangria in the park

And then later

When it gets dark, we go home

 

Just a perfect day

Feed animals in the zoo

Then later

A movie, too, and then home

 

Oh, it's such a perfect day

I'm glad I spent it with you

Oh, such a perfect day

You just keep me hanging on

You just keep me hanging on

 

Just a perfect day

Problems all left alone

Weekenders on our own

It's such fun

 

Just a perfect day

You made me forget myself

I thought I was

Someone else, someone good

 

Oh, it's such a perfect day

I'm glad I spent it with you

Oh, such a perfect day

You just keep me hanging on

You just keep me hanging on

 

You're going to reap just what you sow

You're going to reap just what you sow

You're going to reap just what you sow

You're going to reap just what you sow

Done
