"Pale Blue Eyes" is a song by American rock band the Velvet Underground, written and sung by Lou Reed.
[5] "Pale Blue Eyes" has been covered by a number of artists[6] in addition to Lou Reed and Maureen Tucker from Velvet Underground: An instrumental version of the song was used in Julian Schnabel's 2007 film The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.
The song drives the plot in the 1997 South Korean romance film The Contact, in which a radio DJ receives an anonymous package containing the album The Velvet Underground and plays "Pale Blue Eyes," hoping to reconnect with his former lover.
The original song was featured during the final scenes of the January 25, 2009 episode of Cold Case (CBS) entitled "The Brush Man".
The Killers paid tribute to Lou Reed on the day of his death by performing this song at the inaugural Life Is Beautiful Music & Art Festival in Las Vegas.
