Temptation Inside Of Your Heart

Last week Thurston Moore released a cover of Velvet Underground's Temptation Inside Of Your Heart in honor of the birthday of Sterling Morrison, former guitarist of VU. The song is from VU lost album from 1969, released decades after these songs were recorded. Moore grabs the song and makes it one of his own. His incomparable guitar playing is a perfect match for this sadly forgotten song. It is well known that Moore enjoys playing, but rarely has he been seen in such good spirits. Perhaps this is what the Velvets would sound like today.

In the original, Morrison and Tucker chat in the background before they start singing the backing vocals. Also one of the better songs from their later work and break-up in the original.
