But this guy's vision of a perfect day was the girl, sangria in the park, and then you go home a perfect day, real simple. I don't object to that, particularly.whatever you think is perfect. You're talking to the writer, the person who wrote it. In an interview in 2000, Reed stated, "No. However, this interpretation, according to Reed himself, is "laughable". This popular understanding of the song as an ode to addiction led to its inclusion in the soundtrack for Trainspotting, a film about the lives of heroin addicts. Some commentators have further seen the lyrical subtext as displaying Reed's romanticized attitude towards a period of his own addiction to heroin. The lyric is often considered to suggest simple, conventional romantic devotion, possibly alluding to Reed's relationship with Bettye Kronstad and Reed's own conflicts with his sexuality, drug use and ego. The song was written after Reed and his then fiancée (later his first wife), Bettye Kronstad, spent a day in Central Park. The song has a sombre vocal delivery and a slow, piano-based instrumental backing. The original recording, as with the rest of the Transformer album, was produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson (who also wrote the string arrangement and played piano on the track).
