This song tells the story of a girl named Jenny whose life was saved by rock and roll music. It's a deeply personal reflection from Lou Reed, who wrote that if he hadn't heard rock and roll on the radio, he would have had no idea there was life beyond his own experience, finding movies and TV insufficient to provide that sense of connection. The song appeared on The Velvet Underground's 1970 album Loaded, with Reed continuing to perform it live as a solo artist. At its heart, it plays like an anthem to the transformative power of music.
