The story behind the song

This song delves into the poignant feeling of "the worst kind of jealousy," as described by Lou Reed himself. It tells the story of a man watching a satellite launch on television, his mind drifting to thoughts of his unfaithful girlfriend. Composed in 1970 while Reed was still with the Velvet Underground, the song captures a deeply personal and melancholic reflection on love and longing. It’s a track that balances cosmic wonder with earthly heartbreak.
