Best "Opiate" Songs

[Dre1990]

Blur - Miss America

 

[Tryptamino]

Portishead - Numb

 

[spacejunk]

the only ones - another girl another planet:



pretty much the whole only ones' catalogue seems to deal with peter perrett's heroin addiction, but they are just such a fantastic band.
i think 'another girl, another planet' is one of the best songs ever written.


also, i haven't read this whole thread but i haven't seen these mentioned:

the stooges - open up and bleed

the birthday party - she's hit

the beasts of bourbon - chase the dragon

johnny thunders and the heartbreakers - chinese rocks

the lemonheads - my drug buddy

the charlatans - codine

 

[Ukiyo-e]

My friend's favourite opiate album is Automatic Writing by Ataxia.

[animalpee]

Rufus Wainwright-Going to a Town
Pink Floyd- Wish You Were Here
Rolling Stones- Angie

 

[KinoTheBlueElf]

"Never Let Me Down" - Depeche Mode

I looked that up, good song.

 

[Disraeli_Beers]

Bright Eyes - Down in a Rabbit Hole

Damn good song. I believe it's about coke but a great nod song none the less.

When my girlfriend cheated on my when I was in Italy years ago and then dumped my ass when I got home I listened to that song on repeat, along with Goldmine Gutted. Actually all of Digital Ash in a Digital Urn

 

[Disraeli_Beers]

Songs about opiates (or that I perceive to be : ) ):
Needle and the Damage Done-Neil Young
No Quarter-Led Zeppelin (guitar riff after intro drops on the listener like a plunger)
Coming up from Below-Edward Sharpe
Last Flowers-Radiohead ("you can offer me escape/you can offer me relief")
This is the Place-Red Hot Chili Peppers

Song to nod to:
Sunday Morning-Velvet Underground
Pale Blue Dots-Thieving Irons
Goldmine Gutted-Bright Eyes
Hallelujah-Helio Sequence
Nude-Radiohead
Solitude is Bliss-Tame Impala
Street Joy-White Denim
Silver City-Ghostland Observatory

anything by Beach House
Definitely Shoegaze lol

 

[Herbal~Jah]

The Velvet Underground - Sunday Morning

Or one of those really chill and 'backgroundy' music songs on that last 3 disk box set they released with a lot of their "bootlegs" that were GOOD. one song on their i used to listen to all the time

 

[Disraeli_Beers]

"Lost art of murder" by Pete doherty/babyshambles

Totally forgot about Babyshambles, especially that song. Fantastic album, definitely oped out

 

[VanWeyden]

The Killers - When You Were Young. Relationship song in the first place, but totally applicable on opiates imo.

 

[AminoAcid]

This used to be by far my favourite song to listen to while high on opiates:

 

[treezy z]

as a sub-thread discussion, do you like "heroin" off the velvet underground and nico or rock n roll animal better?

 

[It's a Good Day]

I would go with Mr Brownstone
But I have a question.
Is AICs Rooster about dope?

 

[MrGrunge]

^ "Rooster" is about Jerry Cantrell's uncle's experiences in Vietnam.

Pretty much any song written by Layne Staley is about dope, though.

The xx - Swept Away

The xx - Angels
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nW5AF0m9Zw (great video also)

Anything by the xx is great when your in a deep nod. Also, Beach House is good opiate music too. Dream-pop is probably my favorite genre to listen to when im high on opie's.

Big Sean ft. Juicy J - Experimental (great shit to listen to when your coming up on a large dose of Oxy)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQO36Ca8z9I

This is just some new recent shit that i've been playing when i'm nodding. Some old favorites include AIC, Sublime, Slightly Stoopid, Three 6 Mafia, Lil Wyte, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, and of course the Doors.

 

[Pissangel]

"Taste the Pain" - Red Hot Chili Peppers. Ultimate for heroin withdrawal.
