This week’s cover song: ‘The Fairest of the Seasons’ by Nico. This song is the opening track to her 1967 album ‘Chelsea Girl’; her first solo album. The song was written by Jackson Browne who was an important part of the album. I find it interesting that Nico famously didn’t like the production of the album, saying in a 1981 interview that she couldn’t listen to the album as she hated the strings and flutes that are present throughout. Although I like the production, I think it’s so sad when a musician is dissatisfied with their own projects because of the decisions of other people. Regardless, she remains one of the most influential singers of the 60s and famously worked with the Velvet Underground and Andy Warhol. She was considered a ‘Warhol Superstar’ for her part in the clique of New York personalities of the 60s who were promoted by Warhol. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my cover!

Lyrics:
Now that it's time
Now that the hour hand has landed at the end
Now that it's real
Now that the dreams have given all they had to lend
I want to know do I stay or do I go
And maybe try another time
And do I really have a hand in my forgetting?
Now that I've tried
Now that I've finally found that this is not the way
Now that I turn
Now that I feel it's time to spend the night away
I want to know do I stay or do I go
And maybe finally split the rhyme
And do I really understand the undernetting?
Yes and the morning has me
Looking in your eyes
And seeing mine warning me
To read the signs carefully
Now that it's light
Now that the candle's falling smaller in my mind
Now that it's here
Now that I'm almost not so very far behind
I want to know do I stay or do I go
And maybe follow another sign
And do I really have a song that I can ride on?
Now that I can
Now that it's easy, ever easy all around
Now that I'm here
Now that I'm falling to the sunlights and a song
I want to know do I stay or do I go
And do I have to do just one
And can I choose again if I should lose the reason?
Yes, and the morning
Has me looking in your eyes
And seeing mine warning me
To read the signs more carefully
Now that I smile
Now that I'm laughing even deeper inside
Now that I see
Now that I finally found the one thing I denied
It's now I know do I stay or do I go
And it is finally I decide
That I'll be leaving
In the fairest of the seasons

Thank you for taking the time to watch this video and I hope you have a wonderful day!
