... and let me tell me you about Phaedra - updated

-from Wikipedia

'"Some Velvet Morning" is a psychedelic pop song written by Lee Hazlewood and originally recorded by Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra in late 1967. It first appeared on Sinatra's album Movin' With Nancy. The song has been covered many times since, almost always as a duet. Although "Some Velvet Morning" is one of the more famous duets Hazlewood and Sinatra recorded together, it is considered a departure from their usual fare, as it is decidedly less influenced by country western music. The single peaked at number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1968.

As with many psychedelic songs, its overall meaning is somewhat obscure. The lyrics consist of the male part describing a mysterious, powerful woman named Phaedra, who educated the speaker in the ways of love. The male part alternates with the female part, who identifies herself as Phaedra and speaks over ethereal, twinkling music about beautiful nature imagery — "flowers growing on a hill / dragonflies and daffodils" — and about the secrets held by an unknown collective "we."

A possible explanation for the song is that the alternating male and female parts represent the differences between men and women, especially in regards to sex. The implication is that women know more of this subject and men must learn to respect women in order to understand this knowledge [emphasis added]. However, another view posits that the male and female parts represent humanity and nature, respectively. The female parts are evocative of a supernatural setting, perhaps one one might associate with the nymphs of Greek mythology. This interpretation seems especially valid, as Phaedra is a character from Greek lore, who, upon being scorned by her lover Hippolytus, commits suicide. Thus, the song may be imploring men to respect the women they love, lest they end up like the classical Phaedra.

The song has been covered most famously by Lydia Lunch and Rowland S. Howard on the album Honeymoon in Red, by psychedelic rock group Vanilla Fudge on the album Near the Beginning, by Primal Scream and Kate Moss on the album Evil Heat, by Slowdive on the american pressing of Souvlaki, and by the Webb Brothers on the Lee Hazlewood tribute album, Total Lee! It has also been recorded instrumentally by guitarist Gabor Szabo and his band. The death/doom metal band My Dying Bride recorded the song on a compilation album for their record label Peaceville Records.'
