The Falconer

"The Falconer" is the second track on side one of Desertshore, the album Nico released on Reprise on December 20, 1970. She wrote every song on the record. It was recorded in London at Sound Techniques in 1970, produced by John Cale and Joe Boyd, with Nico singing and playing harmonium and Cale playing every other instrument except the trumpet; Cale and Adam Miller add harmony vocals on the album. The album runs 5:39 for the song in its Wikipedia listing and 5:43 in MusicBrainz.

Other recordings exist: a demo on The Frozen Borderline (2007), a live version from Reims Cathedral on December 13, 1974, and another from the Nationalgalerie in Berlin on May 10, 1974 with John Cale and Brian Eno. The upload in the hypersongs web is the studio recording from Desertshore, carried on the label's own channel.
