"Here She Comes Now" is a song by the influential American rock band The Velvet Underground. It was included in their critically acclaimed second studio album, "White Light/White Heat," released in 1968. The song was written by the band's members, Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, and Maureen Tucker, and showcases the band's signature avant-garde style and lyrical approach.
"Here She Comes Now" is a relatively short and straightforward song compared to some of the band's more experimental tracks. It features a simple, repetitive guitar riff and sparse instrumentation, creating a hypnotic and atmospheric sound. The lyrics are cryptic and open to interpretation, a characteristic common in the Velvet Underground's songwriting.
The song has been praised for its minimalist approach and has become a fan favorite among Velvet Underground enthusiasts. While it didn't achieve significant commercial success upon its initial release, "Here She Comes Now" has since gained recognition as a standout track from "White Light/White Heat" and has been celebrated for influencing subsequent generations of musicians.
Notable cover versions of "Here She Comes Now" include renditions by alternative rock band Nirvana, which was included as a bonus track on their compilation album "Incesticide" in 1992, and by alternative rock band Galaxie 500, included on their 1990 album "This Is Our Music." These cover versions attest to the enduring appeal and influence of The Velvet Underground's music.
