Perfect Day (Lou Reed song)

"Perfect Day" is a song written by Lou Reed in 1972, originally featured on ''Transformer'', Reed's second post-Velvet Underground solo album, and as the B-side of his major hit, "Walk on the Wild Side". Its fame was given a boost in the 1990s when it was featured in the 1996 film ''Trainspotting'', and after a star-studded version was released as a BBC charity single in 1997, which became the UK's number one single for three weeks. Reed re-recorded the song for his 2003 album ''The Raven''.
A version by Duran Duran reached number 28 on the UK Singles Chart in 1995.
==Recording and composition==
The original recording, like the rest of the ''Transformer'' album, was produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson (who also wrote the string arrangement and played piano on the track).
The song has a sombre vocal delivery and slow, piano-based instrumental backing balancing tones of sweet nostalgia ("it's such a perfect day, I'm glad I spent it with you"). It was written after Reed and his then fiancée (later his first wife), Bettye Kronstad, spent a day in Central Park.
The song's lyrics are often considered to suggest simple, conventional romantic devotion, possibly alluding to Reed's relationship with Bettye Kronstad and Reed's own conflicts with his sexuality, drug use, and ego.〔Bockris, Victor (1995-08-01). ''Transformer: The Lou Reed Story''. Simon & Schuster, August 1, 1995. (ISBN 978-0684803661)〕
Some commentators have further seen the lyrical subtext as displaying Reed's romanticized attitude towards a period of his own addiction to heroin; this popular understanding of the song as an ode to addiction led to its inclusion in the soundtrack for ''Trainspotting'', a film about the lives of heroin addicts.〔Walker, Nick (1997-10-13).
