Song of the Day: The Velvet Underground - After Hours

The Velvet Underground - After Hours
from the album The Velvet Underground

I know that I recently did a Velvet's song, but this has been on my mind...I've been playing it at home...and there's something about Maureen "Moe" Tucker's voice that is so haunting - and it seems to fit my mood this week.

I found an interesting little site that discusses song lyric meanings that has this song up for discussion. Although several have made good points, I always thought the song was about a girl that wants to commit suicide, and is trying to get the person to leave. A few others touched upon that interpretation; most said "Oh, it's about an After Hours bar."

Uh, okay.
