Lou Reed directs Boyle video
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 8 November 2010
After that confusing rumble during which Susan Boyle was banned from performing Lou Reed’s ‘Perfect Day’ on an edition of ‘America’s Got Talent’, resulting in tears before bedtime, now Reed himself has stepped up to direct the pop promo for her version of the song, which appears on her new album ‘The Gift’.
According to Scotland’s Sunday Mail, it was Reed who called Boyle to ask if he could get involved in her version of his song. He told the paper: “I wanted to create a beautiful and intimate piece shot in Susan’s native Scotland and she quickly agreed”.
Boyle herself told the tab: “I loved that Lou understood how much it meant to me to film in Scotland. I didn’t mind how much it rained or blew a gale – I enjoyed every minute”.
The video is here should you wish to see it.
