Janetlee from Panama City, FlNow Susan Boyle has recorded it.And you knew it would lead to this, but just wanted to hit that vein so bad. The understanding that the sowing (shooting up) will lead to the reaping (full-blown addiction, possible incarceration, mental hospitalization, death of relationships, loss of employment, self-degradation, loss of integrity, possible actual death from overdose) is here. You get clean for a little while and then you go back. An addict who has somewhat put his life back together and then relapses comes to believe that it’s never gonna stop. (You’re goin to reap just what you sow.) Although the day was perfect, the realization of what you’ve done is now here. It’s “Perfect” to be able to get right and not at this moment do or care about anything.
It truly is perfect to be holding and not dope sick. As an addict myself, “Perfect Day” is much more symbolic of the life of an addict than the song “Heroin.” It is mellow reflection of how a “fixed” user feels when able to score.
I feel it is a person who is trying to “kick” but finally gives in and relapses.
Craig from PittsburghMy honest opinion after research is that Lou wrote this song about heroin but didn’t want to admit it after the negative vibe he related to the actual song “Heroin.” He had said numerous times that people would come up to him and say “I shot up to Heroin” or “ODed to Heroin.”. This song is really neither, which makes it all the more beautiful. All his previous most popular songs (the entire first 2 Velvet Underground records, and to a lesser extent the third) had been either sad or debauched. Yeah, you can say it's a drug song, but I always thought it was sort of a demonstration of his versatility. Hickory Mccay from Portland, OrI always thought this song was especially pretty because it was a contradiction of all the darkness that Lou Reed was known for. Versions with just the male vocalists and just the female vocalists are included on the single. Released as a single, it went to #1 in the UK for three weeks and earned over £2,100,000 for the charity. This is only possible thanks to the unique way the BBC is paid for by you." The effort was organized by the BBC, which put together a video for the song tagged with a message promoting their diverse music coverage: "Whatever your musical taste, it is catered for by BBC radio and television. Also appearing is Laurie Anderson, Reed's girlfriend at the time whom he later married. John, Evan Dando, Brett Anderson of Suede, Burning Spear, Heather Small, Ian Broudie, Huey of Fun Loving Criminals, Joan Armatrading, Lesley Garrett, Robert Cray, Tom Jones, Ian Broudie of The Laughing Seeds, Skye Edwards, Thomas Allen all singing lines, with jazz saxophonist Courtney Pine providing an instrumental break. 
Reed sings at the beginning and end of the song, with Bono, David Bowie, Suzanne Vega, Elton John, Boyzone, Emmylou Harris, Tammy Wynette, Shane McGowan, Gabrielle, Dr. In 1997, a host of well-known singers and performers contributed to a new version of this song that was released as a single to benefit the Children In Need charity.
