"All Tomorrow's Parties" is a song by The Velvet Underground, written by Lou Reed and released on the group's 1967 debut album, ''The Velvet Underground & Nico''. Inspiration for the song came from Reed's observation of the Warhol clique; according to Reed, the song is "a very apt description of certain people at the Factory at the time. ... I watched Andy. I watched Andy watching everybody. I would hear people say the most astonishing things, the craziest things, the funniest things, the saddest things."〔Fricke, David (1995). ''Peel Slowly and See'' liner notes, p.22〕 In a 2006 interview Reed's bandmate John Cale stated: "The song was about a girl called Darryl, a beautiful petite blonde with three kids, two of whom were taken away from her."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Uncut: John Cale on The Velvet Underground & Nico )〕 The song was Andy Warhol's favorite by The Velvet Underground. The song has notably lent its name to a music festival, a William Gibson novel, and a Yu Lik-wai film. The song also appears prominently in the horror film ''The Lords of Salem''. ==Recording== The song was recorded at Scepter Studios in Manhattan during April 1966. It features a piano motif played by Cale (initially written as an exercise) based largely on tone clusters. It was one of the first pop songs to make use of prepared piano〔Mitchell, Tim ''Sedition and Alchemy : A Biography of John Cale'', 2003, ISBN 0-7206-1132-6〕 (a chain of paper clips were intertwined with the piano strings to change their sounds). The song also features the ostrich guitar tuning by Reed, by which all of the guitar strings were tuned to D.〔 Drummer Maureen Tucker plays tambourine and bass drum while guitarist Sterling Morrison plays bass, a chore that he hated, despite his ability on the instrument.〔 According to the website, the quote is from John Cale’s autobiography, ''What’s Welsh for Zen'' (NY: St. Martin’s Press (2000).〕 Nico provides lead vocals. The song was originally recorded with only one track of her vocals; they were later double-tracked for the final album version. Most versions of the album use this version of the song, though the initial 1987 CD release uses the original mix without the double-tracking. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「All Tomorrow's Parties」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
