In His Own Words
About Him
In Lou Reed´s remarkable song "Perfect Day" he writes in diary form about the events that combine to make a "Perfect Day". It's a day that resonates with the beauty of love, where he and his lover sit in the park and drink Sangria, feed animals in the zoo, go to a movie etc., but it's the lines in the third verse, "I thought I was someone else, someone good" that transforms this otherwise sentimental song into the masterpiece of melancholia that it is.
Not only do these lines ache with failure and shame, but they remind us in more general terms of the transient nature of love itself – that he will have his day "in the park" but, like Cinderella, who must return at midnight to the soot and ash of her disenchanted world, so must he return to his old self, his bad self. It is out of this void that the song springs, clothed in loss and longing.
About His Ideal Match
We all experience within us what the Portugese call 'Saudade', which translates as an inexplicable sense of longing, an unnamed and enigmatic yearning of the soul and it is this feeling that lives in the realms of imagination and inspiration and is the breeding ground for the need of another. I believe that reflection is the light of God, deep down, blasting through our wounds.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.
