‘You Forget to Answer’: Nico sings about her former lover Jim Morrison
In 1974, somewhere between a divination and a voicemail left too late, Nico recorded one of the strangest, coldest, and most quietly devastating songs ever aimed at a dead lover.
She didn’t name him, didn’t raise her voice, didn’t cry. But everyone knew who it was for. The track was called ‘You Forget to Answer’ – as blunt and cruel as a dial tone – and it was her way of talking to Jim Morrison from the other side.
“I thought of Jim Morrison as my brother. So we would grow together. We still do because he is my soul brother. We exchanged blood. I carry his blood inside me.”
