The Velvet Underground - Heroin (song only)

[onepage42]

fuckin love this song



[eXcommunicate1979]

Sounds like something you'd hear on Californication (the TV show).

[ragesfb]

@eXcommunicate1979 lol yeah huh

[ragesfb]

@eXcommunicate1979 when the main character is about to do some important plot shit ,lol

[eXcommunicate1979]

@ragesfb

I'd imagine them ending the episode with it in a montage after Karen has driven Hank to drink again.

[MrDexHead]

Song only guys!!!! lol

[elricofmelnibone1]

its my wife/its my life... be the death of me...

[MyPineappleGetsWiFi7]

The writing Velvet Underground does is such a different writing style, its why they're incredible. Kinda like Bob Dylan with a better voice.

[tdyyy1613]

What a piece of art.

[vadesdecero]

I've just been brain-fucked.

[da133]

this song never fails to get me

[NoRosesForMe]

@da133 Me too. And its not the drug reference(s) or anything. Ive NEVER done heroin nor do I ever plan on doin it but....what is it about this song that either makes my heart pound or makes me want to cry sometimes? Why this one? Oh well...Lou reed is one of the few who really GETS life anyway. You can honestly narrow it down to Lou and a couple of others. But wow......gets to me too. x "Jenny"

[mattminich]

hey guys be sensitive you don't know what its like I lost my heroin to my dad

[pilierofq]

I let it steal 37 years of my life. No idea what there getting into , no idea. Yes you will feel lile Jesus son ...but then ...MORTA

[robert140602]

I love the way the drums reflect the differing heartbeats of the rush.

[JoyDivisiongirl]

@robert140602  me too...love this song.

[robert140602]

@JoyDivisiongirl I'm a big JD fan myself,let me know :)

[wattsthat67]

what do u mean song only.... ooooooohhhhh now i get it...

[snake63cardiff]

what you onabou luu reed sings this you idiot get a bit of common knowledge before you leve whitty comments

[rolandk]

song only, not REAL heroin

[retardfoofoo]

One of my family members actually showed me this song... and i absolutely loved it

[94Cioppa]

What does the banana symbolize on the cover? 

[checkerslob2]

@94Cioppa i guess to symbolize how fast something (in this case, someone) can go from sweet and good tasting (good personality) to rotten and unwanted (bad personality and ruined due to drugs)

[94Cioppa]

@checkerslob2 Could be

[nuramber]

Holy shit! I can totally see where Julian Casablanca's vocals came from in here o.o

[BigDuke921]

buy "heroin on itunes" so thats were you get it

[turtlliwdnifuoyehthr]

funny how a lot of commenters say "i'm high and this is awesome" while in real life they are just nerds living in their mom's basement not even smoking regular cigarettes

[GPHsmurf]

@turtlliwdnifuoyehthr

I was going to point out that not all people who smoke dope are nerds living in their mother's basements, but that wasn't what you were trying to say xD

[turtlliwdnifuoyehthr]

@GPHsmurf

i didnt say that people who smoke dope are nerds living in basements.

i said that people who say they smoke dope aren't actually smoke dope.just showing off

[Hendrix1820]

@turtlliwdnifuoyehthr everyone does it nowadays, i don't see how showing off has really anything to do with it, its become really common for a lot of people to do it.

[rosy1984linda]

@Hendrix1820 and that's grat?...i have lost my men on heroine...he leaves me behind and two children...be proud to smoke or inject heroine....it slowly takes you down

[Hendrix1820]

@rosy1984linda and did I say that was great? Perhaps you should read what I was replying to.

[turtlliwdnifuoyehthr]

[paolobernardini]

[MattIsTheWalrus]

This shit is so bad, fucking hipsters.

[Sid7Vicious]

@MattIsTheWalrus ????

[SacredTurnip]

@MattIsTheWalrus

How is the Velvet underground in any way a hipster band?

[TheMowlie]

@MattIsTheWalrus Reed's a genius...Hipsters are hipsters. You cannot connect the two.

[nickb102661]

@MattIsTheWalrus HA you definatly think there a modern band you shithead, if you don't wanna listen then get the fuck out of here

[scumgod13]

@nickb102661 He this velvet Underground are new? They're before anyone's time but this is beautiful!

[sulumsphony66]

@MattIsTheWalrus

[electroxjelly]

@MattIsTheWalrus wow you're so cool

[hotblooded666]

"Buy "Heroin" on: iTunes" Oh yeah?!

[stonednoise]

@hotblooded666 trolololololololololol

[mylifemyradio]

Like this if you're on heroin while you're listening to this song.

[jf61234]

@mylifemyradio you're on heroin ?

[scremt]

this song hurts my soul

[Unarchetype]

I once happened upon this record in a small box. It was an original pressing, and it still had the banana on it, perfect condition, 40 bucks. I can honestly say I had this on vinyl, it was amazing. I should've kept it.

[rabbit605]

@Unarchetype - Yes you should have.

[scumgod13]

@Unarchetype I still have it on vinyl banana in place! It actually belongs to my wife so if I pulled that banana off I'd be very much in trouble.

[Magnum116]

I saw this album in a record store the other day, and I was going to buy it, but I was a couple dollars short, so I shouted "THIS IS BULLSHIT! I NEED MY HEROIN!" that's one more record store that thinks I'm a drug addict...

[fingerscounting]

stole my line



[zombiehitman666]

A buddy of mine passed. the last I talked to him he said this was his favorite song. :./

[mudsharkkiller]

"I'm gonna try........ to nullify my life".....I'm glad Lou made it out alive man...... Thank You Smallprint for this.

[mattminich]

teenagers, please stop recounting made up drug stories on youtube and dig the song

[bgsk8]

Such a beautiful song.

[DerfRellim11]

someone should make a 2012 remake and call it Opana.

[kingrunnisfilms]

Great song for a great drug

[jmeove]

Reminds me of getting fucked up with the film "The Doors' playing on the tv in the background.

It was on this old VHS tape that chewed all the time and got all distorted which made it even more special.

[mrflanigan33]

Anyone who says they love heroin have no idea what it will do to you. I lost my sister to heroin, dont try it, its not worth it. Stay clean and stay safe

[shagmydog]

@mrflanigan33 R.I.P man sorry for your loss

[xxspliffsmokexx]

@mrflanigan33 Besides coke and percs are better :) Im just clowning being an ass ims orry about your sister. Drugs are not for everyone and thats a fact a lot of people dont want to admit to.

[ugoodHomeBoy]

@xxspliffsmokexx

percs lol? What a joke.

Why you want to play around with coke? A friend of mine tried a line and twenty minutes later he broke into a car trying to steal change from the ashtray. When you're riding the white pony you can't get it up, so what's the point?

[xxspliffsmokexx]

@ugoodHomeBoy I didnt rob anyone and I dont make a habit out of it. Also if your not tooted out of your mind you can still get it goin on. Also percs really arent ajoke they combine with other drugs real nicely. Im sorry I like to party some times. I dont think all people can do that without getting addicted but a lot can.

[Shadowbeamx]

@mrflanigan33 It's worth it, gotta try it once before you die

[rapingurchurches]

thumbs up if you get pleasure from heroin.

[sinsin69fifty]

i love heroin

[ZoomLensGreg]

... and heroine with an "e"



[unclecider]

be strong i have been clean for 20 years but still dream

[wyndamearl1]

ive been tryn to get off this shit for two years, will get a few months clean under my belt than allways go back to the pin, dont know what the fuck is wrong with me i have 27 days clean right now and i hope this is it but i still think about it a lot not so obsessively though its that love hate relationship like sum1 else said and i was thinking myself why the fuck am i listening to this songheroin has and will be the death of mewell hopefully not, it helps writing about it gudluk2ustaynclean!

[1andycody]

@wyndamearl1 the question is ,do you realy,want to quit. you have to want to quit

[Cincinnatus1869]

@wyndamearl1 if i did it , anyone can . I was fucked up for 7 yrs , spent probably 20 000 dollars and nearly ruined my health . But I am here today , clean and sober . And I still dig the VU .

[JonnyBwai]

@Cincinnatus1869 You only spent 20000 dollars on gear over the course of 7 years? Christ ur lucky u musta had a really low tolerance, at the height of my addiction I spent around £15000 / $25000 in one year. Thankfully methadone saved me

[Cincinnatus1869]

@JonnyBwai well It helped me financially , if not physically , that I had a prescription for Dilaudid from a Doc for much of that time . ( if u want to call her a real Doc ) . The 20,000 estimate may be off a bit , but in any event it was more than I should have spent . Glad to hear ur well now sir . It aint easy

[billybluerocket]

@wyndamearl1 oh yeah and check out ben howard 'keep your head up' its may sound stupid but it is quite a helpful song to listen to.

[Mum2Boys]

Dear everyone, do not listen to ending with headphones.

From Mum2Boys



[PlasticPowder]

268 people don't like heroin

[DanaLoveMakeup]

@PlasticPowder good for them.

[tylerjohncollins]

Every time I get out of rehab I really like to listen to this track!!!

[mateorosas]

┣▇▇▇═─

[InsaneByHeart]

if you just got clean why the fuck are you on youtube listening to a song called heroin

[1andycody]

@InsaneByHeart hard to let go

[dubleyhew13]

@InsaneByHeart you missed the meaning of the song then, dude...listen to ALL the lyrics..."heroin....will be the death of me.."

[aekoriginale21]

Best album ever after sgt lonely heart club band..

[voltsfabian]

@aekoriginale21 Yeah... For me this is actually my favorite album. Sgt Pepper is not even my favorite Beatles album.

[mainstreamrevolution]

i actually don't know a bad song called "heroin".

[EvoxFilms]

If you never did "dawg" then you have no idea.. I am lucky that I could walk away and control myself from falling into an addiction that controls your whole body and soul.. Very Lucky..

[MrAlbo420]

@EvoxFilms THAT in itself is GREAT!! "YOU" are the "ONLY" person I have EVER heard say that, and I am PROUD you made it through..my BEST FRIEND didn't go that way, he OD'd on "THAT" stuff................... :( !!

[susanjones212]

you really wanna make that decision? you wanna feel your stomach turn as the rush flows to your head and the hush that is deafening percolates in your brain that will scream for more when bleak morning comes and you need to score. Oh and I guess that you just don't know.

[dunkinking]

to everyone who thinks i am advocating Heroin... i am not... just simply paraphrasing a quote by allen ginsburg... never tried it and never will.

[iwiid]

Song only? I was hoping to score...

[loldacz]

Oh crap! I clicked on "heroin" and it's just a song...

.....but this song is also very addictive.

[itsthebluejayway]

I don't know just where i'm goinggg, but I'm gonna try for the kingdom if i can cause it makes me feel like im a maann <333 AND I GUESS BUT I JUST DONT KNOWWWW

[monty19890]

i wonder , which has more addictive , this song or heroin !!

[lachicadeloskiwis]

This is so powerfull...

[Harishithead]

Heroin 

[ZACKnirvana]

drugs are for losers, but i enjoy this song.

[ryanpitchford]

you're all idiots

[0mgoth]

this song brings out the creativity in people lol

[TheGerogero]

You see? The album cover is especially artistic because it's signed by Andy Warhol. Pfft -_-

[themanclaw2]

Hate Andy Warhol. Love this song.

[135monster]

hey, is this lou guy original?

who is jim morrison?

[asZskicker666]

@135monster Whos Jim Morrison? One of the best rockers of all time

[gawdlikee]

@asZskicker666 Damn rite!!

[shanz123094]

its all good until you no longer have any veins so when youre in the hospital going through withdrawal and the doctor tries to find a vein to stick an IV into your arm, he cant. because you dont have any veins left.

its not too fun then. trust me.

[perfection1331]

bro heroin



[MyOwnSubmarine]

"And I feel just like Jesus's son"... I love that quote

[strat959]

Wow, what a crappy song this really is. Better when he did it in the 70s with a rock and roll band -- like this it's just shite. Buncha crappy, artsy-fartsy, Andy Warhol-ish, tasteless... People act like it's "high art". It's really just shameful, talentless crap. Sure ain't rock and roll.

[simo58ful]

@strat959 Who are you to define rock and roll? Music is opinion based and you have shared your opinion. Now shut the fuck up!!! 

[gawdlikee]

@simo58ful Well said. I don't understand why people even write negative comments on music videos , like if you don't like it then that sucks go choose something else obviously you cant like everything an starting a online argue or downing someone online solves nothing

[Lisatuttefrut]

@strat959 I totally agree!

[peterkopko]

266 briai.......

[Lisatuttefrut]

Wow... This sucks...

[VladFerdinand1]

@Lisatuttefrut Goodbye then, Thanks for stopping by, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

[Lisatuttefrut]

@VladFerdinand1 I'm sorry, that's just my own opinion. I think the guy can't sing.

[ryan84160]

@Lisatuttefrut You probably think Dylan can't sing either.

[Lisatuttefrut]

@ryan84160 the lyrics might be great, but if they aren't very good singers...

[MrCockSlut]

I don't advocate heroin use but me and the other pensioners at Warwick elderly peoples home sure do benefit from 1 half of a tea spoon in our tea (or sometimes coffee if were feeling really crazy).

[gfunkhomie310]

heroin is the shit. im not advocating it. but if you decide to shoot up, expect the best fucking feeling you will ever have. then never do it again cuz it will never be the same. im clean now but i still always want it, cuz nothing is as good as it used to be. life is joyless once your clean.

[benjaminnbillman]

@gfunkhomie310 what about the buzz of Cannabis or Kratom or Tulsi or Kava.... :0

[gawdlikee]

@gfunkhomie310 Congrats on getting clean, I myself just got out of rehab for that nasty shit not too long ago and your rite i always still want it too an sometimes its hard but you just gotta keep busy or hangout with people or do what im doin rite now an write random insights to random people lol what do you do to keep yourself clean? jw maybe it can help me in bad moments.

[mike69dude]

speaking as sum1 that wasted many yrs doing heroin, burying many friends and generallyhave nothing but regrets for it. i suggest you realise there's nothing glamorous about addiction. it is giving up control to the very machine that you hope to escape. ftw? the best way to do that is to not let it fuck you. its bigger it will win. 'they' want you miserable and destracted. research. who profits at the top? not the guy handing it to you..he's as gullible and desparate. who's deciding for you? you?

[BLACKMANIAC100]

Heroin is the Answer of all my Problems!!!!!!FTW FTW FTW!!!VELVET UNDERGROUND FOREVER!!!!!

[mike454price]

yah m

[Suicidalfamily]

I DO HEROIN

[myPAINisSELFchosen85]

@Suicidalfamily me too, where do you live man?

[Lamias06]

Truly

[TheEnchantingWizard1]

This is almost too good to listen to.

[redneckman211]

when the blood get to flue and when it shoot's up the dropers neck.and closeing on death.fucking awosme.this song kick's ass.

[spiff195]

this song made my first acid trip unbelievable.

[suallegy]

love.

[TheLed123zep]

i like banana

[RighteousWilly]

How 'bout that electric viola?? Not every band has one of those

[TheBradcake]

This was so ahead of it's time

[SuperGucci666]

Very few songs ever written can take you where this one does. Whether you are stoned or strung out, these sounds become the drug in your veins. So surreal, the dirty fears, and poetic trances. Amazing art.

[konnaki97]

guess who bought this album today! I'm soo freaking happy and I feel so complete.

[diegosandvrs]

fuck yeah just bought this cd is fucking awesome and this song has some awesome lyrics!

[admiralgumdrops]

FREE HEROIN YOU GUYS!!!!!!!! awww nevermind.... its song only lol

[obsleep]

When I get rich i'm buying that banana

[JyonasanVolkov]

I used to smoke marijuana, but now I just smoke opium!

Why?

Because the OPIUM POPPY is legal! lol

[metalaustralia]

@JyonasanVolkov It's a grey area, but legal until you score the pods

[Biltospill]

@JyonasanVolkov not trying to glorify heroin use but smoking opium and shooting heroin are 2 separate worlds. I have done every type of opiate/opioid and i can guarantee nothing compares to slamming. If you have ever had a chance to shoot white china, it hits you almost instantly. The drug is so effective due to its almost identical chemical structure to natural occurring neurotransmitters (endorphins) in our brain. Its the only link that exists between plant and brain.

[BarrioPunkRock]

@Biltospill how much better is heroin or any opium than weed ?

[dunkinking]

@BarrioPunkRock heroin: picture yourself standing outside, naked, at the north pole. for three days. no food. no water. just standing naked freezing/starving to death... then all of a sudden a log cabin appears... and you look through the window. and there is a fire place roaring, and food of all sorts, and drinks of any kind. and the home owner lets you inside to have sex with his daughter and stay as long as you wish... Pot doesnt do that for you.

[BarrioPunkRock]

@dunkinking god that sounds good... but thers no turning back once you first do it..

[JudasRemains]

@dunkinking Then the buzz starts to fade or you get a bad hit and the delightful daughter is replaced by Rush LImbaugh in a Tutu and you just know that if you manage to get your shirt off, you'll get out of the box at the end of the row, but you've pulled and pulled at the hem of the shirt and it just won't budge an inch. But, hey it's starting to bleed and there's no reason not to keep trying. It's an awfully small box.

[MrAlbo420]

@JudasRemains THAT explanation , is more "ACCURATE!!" !! :)  !!

[wickett4evr]

@JudasRemains LMFAO!!.......Couldnt have said it any better myself, Loved it!!

[jaminasuz]

@JudasRemains huh?
