"I'll Be Your Mirror" track 4 on Clem Snide's American pressing of 'A Beautiful EP' released November 4, 2003.
It was released primarily to capitalize on the band's performance of the Christina Aguilera single "Beautiful" during live shows.
Two versions were released, one for the United States market on spinART Records, and a European version on Fargo Records with extra tracks.
"I'll Be Your Mirror" is a song by the Velvet Underground and Nico. It appeared on their 1967 debut album The Velvet Underground & Nico. It also surfaced as a single a year earlier with "All Tomorrow's Parties" in 1966.
Lou Reed wrote the song for Nico, who provides lead vocals. According to biographer Victor Bockris, inspiration for the song came about after Nico approached Reed after a show in 1965 saying, "Oh Lou, I'll be your mirror." The song was a favourite of Reed's and The Velvet Underground & Nico engineer, Norman Dolph.
Mark Deming of AllMusic described "I'll Be Your Mirror" as an "understated love song.
