A friend of mine played this song "Tonight and the Rest of my Life" by Nina Gordon, it's a real mellow tune but quite magical sounding.
She (my friend) said that Nina wrote it about a psychedelic. I don't know if she is right or not, but I look at the lyrics:

Down to the earth I fell
With dripping wings,
Heavy things won't fly
And the sky might catch on fire
And burn the axis of the world
That's why
I prefer a sunless sky
To the glittering and stinging in my eye
Feel so light
This is all I wanna feel tonight
Feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life
Gleaming in the darksea
I'm as light as air
Floating there breathlessly
When the dream dissolves I open up my eyes
I realize that
Everything is shoreless sea
Weightlessness is passing over me
Feel so light
This is all I wanna feel tonight
Feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life
Everthing is waves and stars
The universe is resting in my arms
I feel so alive
This is all I wanna feel tonight
I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life

and it sure sounds psychedelic to me. I don't find any references to her talking about it as a drug song.
What do you think?
 
could be drugs, could be love (same thing really, huh?)...either way, I really like the words!!!

I wish she and Louise would have kept Verucca Salt alive. I loved that band (there first album, anyways...)
