As a heroin addict, "Walkin' With Jesus" by Spacemen 3 is my favorite song about the drug. Also my favorite band -- all of their material, this album especially, are great to listen to while on dope/pills.

Like half of Elliott smith's discography can be interpreted that way, I think most of his songs are pretty broad and not about any one thing in particular though.

Yeah sure and they never wrote a song about LSD either. If I was massively famous and wrote a song about heroin I wouldn't admit it to the press either.

>>49340414
Well sure, heroin is a really broad topic when you're an addict. You can sing about how happy it makes you, how miserable you feel to kick, the romance of hanging out with a girl doing heroin together, feeling like a scumbag doing heroin in a public toilet but enjoying the social role, getting back on heroin after being clean for awhile, going through the hassle of buying heroin from scummy dealers, the cognitive dissonance you feel when you're a successful musician with lots of money and feeling distant from street addicts...it's a limitless well of emotions and I recommend heroin to all creatives.

I don't believe for a second that synesthesia can produce the perceived effect of heroin equal to actually using heroin. No way no how. I know you're kidding anyway...
>>
>>49340876
I mean broad like, they aren't about anything specifically....they are vague on subject matter, but specific emotionally. I don't think it's fair to assume because he was a heroin addict he was always writing about heroin.
>>
>>49340876
>I recommend heroin to all creatives
Okay lol
>>
>>49341023
Well, then, you're autistic.
>>
>>49340864
If the song is about heroin and his dad died of an overdose there's a good chance there's something about him in it.

anon, can't we just get along and do heroin together?

>>49341033
Eh, depends on what you count. It's not like any song has one and only one topic, lyrics and the music itself is inspired by lots of subtle factors. If you hate yourself because you feel hopelessly addicted and you write a song about self hatred does that count? Anyways he has lots of songs that explicitly reference heroin use but yeah it's not literally every other song.

>>49341239
>smoking heroin

i lurk /opi/ a lot and according to them it's to hard to get a good pull of oxy, with all the filler they put in the pills, basically swallowing is the only way to assure getting over 90% of the oxy in your system.

no rush of course though
>>
>>49342201
this. if you're doing it for the rush okay, but oral is better as far as how much you get in yo self
>>
>>49341824
Pretty much all of the songs on their first two albums are about or refer to heroin.
>>
>>49339953
this.

also if you listen closely you'll realize basically every modern rap song is about oxy

>>49340313
glamour profession is a good song. steely dan love <3
>>
>>49342201

Oxycontin or like 5mg pills are worthless, but blues are great for shooting imo. I'm really addicted to the pin though, I love the rush, the ritual, everything about it.
