Best "Opiate" Songs

[Pharcyde]

"The flowers are dead" meaning opium poppy.

What?

 

[immanuel can]

i like putting on sigur rós, specifically "illgresi" and "fljótavík," velvet underground's self titled album, and mostly anything by team sleep or múm.

I Feel Like Dieing - Lil Wayne

Pillmatic - Gym Class Heroes

Oxycontin - Lil Wyte (I dont like the artist but the songs all about pharms)

Fire and Rain - James Taylor (Very good song especially when going thru W/D)

Deftones - Passenger

To me it perfectly represents the progression from sickness, to rush/nodding, to mellow high, and back to sickness. Also nice to listen to while high.

Ugh, almost too perfect. A little eerie to listen to.

I thought this thread was about Tool's wonderful EP...my favorite track off of that is the title track.

I like stuff like Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai, This Will Destroy You, Russian Circles on opiates.

I like your style. Especially Russian Circles.

[MistaJeff]

Heroin by velvet underground

this should be a duh.

 

[russt]

[rjcpb13]

dave matthews bad - number 41

when I'm nodding out and put this song on, i absolutely melt

 

[JosephTHeSequel]

to me, it would be sittin on the dock of the bay by otis redding. i love doing any opiate and putting that song on and chillin out.

Not his original intention I'm sure

 

[subox1]

Has anyone heard the new Swollen Members - my life? Its all about mad child's addiction to pain pills. Has some pretty clever and true lyrics. Also lynrd skynrd - needle and the spoon.

 

[JoeTheStoner]

^ i the or one of the latest videos swollen members made off the album. i think they are on subnoize now. but i prefer their earlier shit.

on that drank and just zoned out on steve roach - the sleep chamber from immersion 3. dope ambient. gonna sip some mo' n' recharge the mp3 player then back to bed. no tolerance ftw woooooooot =)

 

[subox1]

^Yeah they are with subnoize now. I would agree that their earlier stuff is better but their newest album they just put out under subnoize isn't bad. I hope they don't go to shit now like KMK did. I like earlier KMK but since fire it up and no. 7 it seems like they have just went downhill.

 

[StarOceanHouse]

The Beatles - I'm Only Sleeping

 

[General Patton]

Probably "Pigs of the Roman Empire" by The Melvins and Lustmord, or anything by either of those artists. Lustmord has more of a K'd out type vibe but still detached and druggy... The early Melvins shit, like "Hooch" or "Night Goat" off Houdini, man I get the taste of pills on the back of my throat listening to that sortof shit, "Boris" is another good one by them:

"See Boris has way of seeing through my eyes
He touches in a fashion, a master of mime
Manipulating me, my arms and legs and spine
He's got you pawed
I'm sinkin shoulder wake like a spin on through
Let 'em hum."
