VU: 'Diddling' to 'Booker T.' to 'The Gift'

The Velvet Underground - The Gift ("Booker T." Instrumental)

"The Gift", taken from the White Light White Heat album (not the original master, but the other one). Given the vocals and the instrumentals are completely separate from each other in either speaker, I took the instrumentals from the right speaker and isolated them, turning the sound Mono and stand-alone in both speakers. The instrumental by itself is called "The Booker T." The song itself was performed as an instrumental improvisation live, just months before the recording of the album.

WAV lossless quality. Using Goldwave, I reduced the instrumentals in the right speaker and then made the song into Mono-sound. The result is the song with John Cale's monologue pretty apparent in the mix, with the instrumentals serving as a back-drop underneath them.


EF: "The music for "The Gift" was developed from the "Booker T" jam the band did live."

"Booker T" by The Velvet Underground

JM: "The music from The Gift was stolen from Bo Diddley's Diddling. Lou even admitted it to Quine, Bo had two tunes called Diddling, this one is from Bo's A Lover..."

Mott the Hoople covered it, maybe I should too...



Darkness, Darkness
Be my pillow
Take my head
And let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your deep

Darkness, Darkness
Hide my yearning
For the things I cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Toward the things I cannot see now
Things I cannot see now
Things I cannot see

Darkness, darkness,
Long and lonesome,
Is the day that brings me here
I have felt the edge of sadness,
I have known the depth of fear.
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away, take away the pain of knowing,
Fill the emptiness of right now,
Emptiness of right now, now, now
Emptiness of ri-ight now.

Darkness, darkness, be my pillow,
Take my hand, and let me sleep.
In the coolness of your shadow,
In the silence, the silence of your deep.
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away, take away the pain of knowing
Fill the emptiness of right now,
Emptiness of right now now now
Emptiness of right....
Oh yeah Oh yeah
Emptiness, emptiness
Oh yeah
