"New York" is probably one of my most-played albums, "Perfect Day" a most played song.
Loved his music.

RIP Lou.
Magician, magician
Take me upon your wings, and
Gently roll the clouds awayI'm sorry, so sorry
I have no incantations
Only words to help sweep me awayI want some magic to sweep me away
I want some magic to sweep me away
I want to count to five
Turn around and find myself gone
Fly through the storm
And wake up in the calmRelease me from this body
From this bulk that moves beside me
Let me leave this body far awayI'm sick of looking at me
I hate this painful body
That disease has slowly worm awayMagician take my spirit
Inside I'm young and vital
Inside I'm alive, please take me awaySo many things to do, it's too early
For my life to be ending
For this body, to simply rot awayI want some magic to keep me alive
I want a miracle, I don't want to die
I'm afraid that if I go to sleep I'll never wake
I'll no longer exist
I'll close my eyes and disappear
And float into the mistSomebody, please hear me
My hand can't hold a cup of coffee
My fingers are weak, things just fall awayInside I'm young and pretty
Too many things unfinished
My very breath taken awayDoctor you're no magician
And I am no believer
I need more than faith can give me nowI want to believe in miracles
Not just belief in numbers
I need some magic to take me awayI want some magic to sweep me away
I want some magic to sweep me away
Visit on this starlit night
Replace the stars the moon the light, the sun's gone
Fly me through this storm
And wake up in the calm
I fly right through this storm
And I wake, up, in, the, calmRead more: Lou Reed - Magician - Internally Lyrics | MetroLyrics

One of my first room mates was a huge Lou Reed fan. She knew off by heart every single track from the classic Transformer vinyl album. To see her intoning "Walk on the Wild Side" was magic. I had never before heard such intriguingly weird music. And this was in set-in-its-way, back waters New Zealand!
Thanks Lou - through you I became switched on to David Bowie - an artist I adored through thick and thin as the 70s wore on and on. Eat your heart out, Ziggy Stardust.
