Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track is rated in the top 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 88.8/100, a mean average of 87.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.1.

Dunno why, but the song feels so... sad!
Apparently written about Edie Sedgwick, this song perfectly depicts that girl you will never get!

I absolutely love the songs with Nico on here and this is my favorite of all them, absolutely love the singing and the lyrics. Probably my favorite on this album, either this, Sunday Morning, or Venus in Furs all for very different reasons.
What a clon.

Nico nails to vocals perfectly.
Darn good

Holy hell! What an unbelievable song. It totally envelopes me!
The song does have a good atmosphere, but it's too short. For me it was like snap-of-fingers quick.

I'm not a big fan of the chorus, but the atmosphere of this song is gorgeous!
Splendid song, one of my album favs.
