Insanely Famous Songs About Drugs
They say that drugs, sex and rock n roll have always gone hand in hand. That is probably why we have some of the best songs about drugs as part of mainstream music. Music and drugs or rather musicians and drugs have a very weird connection. On one hand, we condemn drug abuse and on the hand hand, we hum on popular music tunes that most obviously glorify drugs. Life is like a strange series of contradictions.
Many famous songs about drugs have become like anthems for the youth. Even those who do not support drugs, are fans of these popular musical tunes.
Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds: Beatles
No matter how many times John Lennon says that 'Lucy' was a girl in his son's class, we all figured out the truth. 'Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds' comes up to being LSD which is commonly called 'acid' by junkies.
Comfortably Numb: Pink Floyd
Well there aren't too many ways to become comfortably 'numb' in the world. This is the most obvious songs about drugs that was written by Pink Floyd.
Under The Bridge: Red Hot Chilli Peppers
This song was written by Anthony Kiedis when he was struggling with heroin addiction. He described the feeling of being lonely despite being in a musical band. He was literally 'under the bridge'.
I Feel Like Dying: Lil Wayne
When famous romantic poet John Keats talked about the romantic death wish in his poems, the whole world was mesmerised. But Lil Wayne's wish to die in a haze of prescription drugs and alcohol emphasises the unique relationship between drugs and music.
Cocaine: Eric Clapton
You can hardly get more direct than that. Eric Clapton actually did a cover version of this song written by J J Cale. But being one of the best guitarists in the world, it is his version that we all still remember it as a famous song about drugs.
Heroin: Velvet Underground
Velvet Underground was a band famous for writing songs about all kinds of controversial activities. On one hand they had 'shiny boots of leather' that glorified BDMS and on there, they openly proclaimed the healing powers of 'heroin'.
Sweet Leaf: Black Sabbath
You may not have guessed that the seemingly harmless term 'sweet leaf' actually talks about a rather forbidden leaf. This song by Black Sabbath is about marijuana.
