Third side of the moon is about Sam Jayne

I have this head-cannon based around the lyric “a few days later they found you frozen in your car”. It’s rare that people are found dead like that without the cause being suicide and the lyrics don’t really imply suicide, they convey shock. Which is probably what he felt when Sam died because it was so out of nowhere and the cause was unknown medical conditions. Wonder if anyone else had this thought?

Edit: Cool that everyone seemed to notice this or agree I wasn’t sure and never like to make assumptions on who an artist is specifically writing about or if it’s even from their perspective but this all definitely adds more layers of meaning to that song and makes me more excited to hear the rest of the album

Is the nothing song it was a pleasure then before it was finished?

I was listening to the valleydale concert and couldn’t help but notice the similarities, it sounds like Nico is almost singing the same lyrics at parts

I kinda wish VU went on without Lou, he is obviously the velvet underground but I would’ve seen them live and even today I’d go see a geriatric Doug, John and Moe show if it were possible
