About Stephanie Says

"Stephanie Says" is a song by The Velvet Underground, originally recorded in 1968. Although available on various bootlegs, the song was not released officially until 1985 when a remixed version appeared on the album VU, and subsequently on the 1995 box set Peel Slowly and See. The original 1968 mix of "Stephanie Says" was included on the 2005 Velvet Underground compilation album Gold. Lou Reed rewrote the lyrics and renamed it "Caroline Says (II)" for his 1973 solo album Berlin. While vastly different in tone, it retained the refrain "It's so cold in Alaska". more »

Stephanie says 
That she wants to know
Why she's given half her life, 
To people she hates now

Stephanie says 
When answering the phone
What country shall I say 
Is calling from across the world

But she's not afraid to die, 
The people all call her Alaska
Between worlds so the people ask her 
Cause it's all in her mind
It's all in her mind

Stephanie says 
That she wants to know
Why it is though she's the door 
She can't be the room

Stephanie says 
But doesn't hang up the phone
What sea shell she is calling 
From across the world

But she's not afraid to die, 
The people all cal her Alaska
Between worlds so the people ask her 
Cause it's all in her mind
It's all in her mind

They're asking 
Is it good or bad
It's such an icy feeling 
It's so cold in Alaska,
It's so cold in Alaska, 
It's so cold in Alaska

The Velvet Underground

The Velvet Underground was an American rock band formed in New York City. First active from 1964 to 1973, their best-known members were Lou Reed and John Cale, who both went on to find success as solo artists. Although experiencing little commercial success while together, the band is often cited by many critics as one of the most important and influential groups of the 1960s. An often-repeated statement, made by Brian Eno in a 1982 interview, is that while the first Velvet Underground album may have sold only 30,000 copies in its early years, "everyone who bought one of those 30,000 copies started a band." more »
