cause when the smack begins to flow; then i really dont care anymore; ah when that heroin is in my blood; and that blood is in my head; then thank god that im good as dead; and thank your god that im not aware; and thank god that i just dont care
i know everyone is going to give me shit for this...but for me....this song is inspirational. im an upcoming artist...and every time i hear this song, i fell like i can do anything. like.... a rockstar, so everyone, stop saying shit about using and saying shit about the people that are saying shit about using...AND ENJOY THE SONG
the way he makes it sound like he's going to say "you girls with your sweet lies" and then changes it to "talk" is one of the best pieces of lyric writing I've ever heard
@crabroast21 you cannot fathom the amount of fuck i do not give. go put that mind to good use, and stay off of youtube. apparently there's dumb people like me on here.
This is where it all went bad for Jim Morrison...according to Oliver Stone anyhows. Great song though...can't be denied...a first for many a novice guitar player.
@MrEPH80 I wouldn't listen to Oliver Stone if I wanted to learn about The Doors or Jim Morrison a lot of the scenes in that movie are wrong or out of sequence and misleading if you want to know about Jim Morrison read the book No On Here Get Here Gets Out Alive my favorite book by the way.
@mikeface1 Yeah,I know mike, stones a true sleaze when it comes to the myth of J.M. It was Manzarek who gave the approval for the movie and advised Densmore to submit the rights of his book as the base for the movie but upon completion, both Densmore & Krieger both renounced it as focusing on the negative "Jimbo" personality rather than the artist we all know as Mr Mojo Risen. Krieger even went so far as to insist that his brief walktrough in the movie be uncredited.
@MrEPH80 I agree but besides all the facts involved The Doors By Oliver Stone is still a good movie if you look at it as factious film based off the doors. Come on, Val Kilmer did his homework on Jim Morrison really well he even stayed at all the bars Morrison did including the Whiskey's A Goo Goo.Crispen Glover who played Andy Warhol did a fantastic job aswell. and By the way awesome youtube Icon (Hunter S. Thompson) very cool individual his mannerisms towards life is like morrison.
@mikeface1 Agree with you there,..can't fault Kilmer for his perfornamce but would have loved to see Jason Patric give the role a shot. Cheers for noticing the H.S.T logo....world just ain't the same without those modern legends like Morrison, Thompson, Moon, Garcia, Drake, Martyn, Bukowski etc etc. Surely the previous two generstions & todays culture must be an unacknowledged modern renaissiance....P.S. That Clown will haunt my dreams like Stephen Kings IT ha ha ha
@MrEPH80 hah glad you agree once again people lack the sense of history because they feel the present provides everything they need. Because nowadays I believe alot of people what I like call modernists pretty much people that like only modern things such as modern music and modern movies strictly and soon will move on. And like to call my self a pastist and person that looks towards the past to better the future lol. but that is the way I describe the world. nice talking to you
@MrEPH80 Dont believe about 80% of that phoney movie; its either completely fictitious or idiot Oliver Stone mixed certain details and people together, making up situations that never occurred....that part with The Doors and Andy Warhol was embellished and some of it never happened...'When Youre Strange' is not perfect but its better than Oliver's lie.
how could a song be so great when it only uses D and G? I will never know, but it's freaking great. Oh and a couple spinoffs down the neck of the D. And a few weird guitar solo things that are great. I suppose I shan't question greatness, but only expand. I want all the albums soo bad now...
lou reed grandad ov punk at least he was able to put in 2 words which some but not all can rarely do ,if u ever were in d bubble r ar still u no exactly what his poems r about
dude just bbeiber comments are everywhere on good music vids. do you beibole have a subonsious hard on for the fuck? i couldn't even name one of his songs.. if you don't like something stay the fuck away from it.
@Karlosman15 fuck heroin, fuck heroin, oh yeah.. fuck heroin. All my favorite musicians all died from heroin overdoses and so have 3 of my friends, enjoy tweakin' yourself into a sweeet overdose brah, stick to the SWEET JANE
people need to be educated early on in school of the dangers of drugs. some people make bad choices. these people should have the option to get treatment not thrown in prison for the rest of their life to be used as slave labor. ron paul says he will pardon all nonviolent drug offenders if elected president.
oh will you all just shut the fuck up. just listen to this, it's beautiful. i happen to be a drug addict but it would be the same anyway. for fucks sake.
Do you think the ups and downs in the song, you know, the tempo, is representing drug kicks? Like when you are high, and then you're not, and then again?? Or am I a total asshole of a cliché, saying that?
@phomars I've never used any drug, other than alcohol, but I think you hit the nail on the head - as a matter of fact I was thinking the same exact thing as I was listening to this song and then I read your comment - it was kind of strange - anyway, you're still a total asshole ; )` Peace
IT WAS THE 2ND OR 3RD ALBUM I BOUGHT IN 1967. I THINK THE FIRST MAY HAVE BEEN SURREALISTIC PILLOW. I KNEW BY 12 YEARS OLD THAT I WOULD END UP AN HEROIN ADDICT WHEN I LOOKED UP "HEROIN PRODUCTION BY NATION" IN THE ENCYCLOPEDIA AMERICANA

When did mediocrity and banality become a good image for your children? I want my children to listen to people who fucking ROCKED! I don't care if they died in puddles of their own vomit!

@Mastertarium666 I know me too. I'm 15 and I'll never get to go to a gig of the velvet underground or the smiths or bob dylan :( Oh well, music like this will never die as long as at least one beating heart listens to it.
If you're listening, this song provides the empty, hollowness that only the addicts know, with out the horrible side effects. Thank you, Lou Reed, one of my favorite of all time........
this is no place to hate on justin bieber... im not a fan of his but why come here to this art to shoot down another human being, thats just ignorant and retarded. as gay as this sounds i bet he wouldnt do that to you. if your here for this song, listen to it and love it. leave hate outside the box. lou would say the same shit.... that is all
@smokencoke1 "as gay as this sounds" how can a comment have a sexual orientation? really bothers me when that word is used, just like using retarded -- you never know who you are talking to and trust me i KNOW you have stood next to and talked to many gay people and not known it
@rainspirit100 easy man, i have nothing against "gays". its was just a use of expression, im not gonna argue with you about it on youtube lol.... go smoke a fag and calm down
@smokencoke1 no you aren't going to argue it on youtube, now that you have your comment posted. HMMM appears THAT is arguing, but hey just sayin, and don't assume everyone is male
@TheWillIamLee87 actually i am gay and no i am not retarded, have quite a respectable i.q. and u know what i wasn't looking for an argument, but it appears 2 me that when one makes a comment on youtube so many people get their flippin panties in a twist, so DEAL with it
@rainspirit100 Was joking guy. You said something about not liking the words "gay" and "retard" so I used those words and directed them at you, was nothing more than a lighthearted comment. The real point of my comment was to show you that you might want to chill out. When I say "gay" I'm not referring to sexuality I'm referring to idiots or douche-bags, uptight assholes, etc. Thats the connotation it has for me. Same with retards, I'm not sticking it to mentally challenged people, just idiots.
You said it. I hear oj this bieber dude all the time but i have to say i havnt heard one of his songs. I don't think i have. If thats not what you wanna listen to then don't listen to it. Mr bieber doesnt care what us haters think. If i was him id be happy that my name was a topic of conversation here at all. i don't listen to the radio. All i have is my cds, spotify and this. I think real music stands the test of time.If not, it aint good enough.
people should not underestimate the power of this song or the drug it portrays ive lost many friends to this thing but i love them all as much as i love this song.......i hope they keep on rockin!
you people keep complaining about fag posers. if you dont like it make up something better than that trash. which is what i intend to do. like actually write my own music and play real music. this is all i have so far, this world needs somethign new.
man im loaded as shit right now, and this song, i swear, makes your high way more intense feeling. its like making me explore the opiate and make it build more more and its crazy
... and that, people, is why we as a species are doomed to destroy ourselves. Keep up the good love Brothers and Sisters. 40 yrs later and only the hatred has grown.
I'd hardly call it shitty or hipster.. because some hipsters like this music, doesn't mean it's necessarily hipster. And the quality of this music is subjective.. I find it very nice and relaxing to listen to, however that's just one's opinion.
@ArtificialRed1083 and ure takin amberlover678 words so literally i have dificulties to understand ur purpose on taking heroin...was it to do some maths? mr. literal hehehe :pp ...i dont mean to offend you...but damn...cant ppl stop boring everyone around?... nowadays ppl cant say "A" in the internet that everyone jumps on em cause it should be "B" or that that "A" is racist or ignorant or whatever woof woof bla bla bla... stop it...common...
The Velvets were so ahead of their time...and their sound doesn't 'date'. When hippies were flower-powering it up in the West...these guys were doing their stuff in the East and their music is still influencing bands today!
Fuck this song provokes some strong responses, but it does some heroin up nicely, its your lover, wife,mum,dad, everything wrapped up in one and I defy anyone who has/ had a heroin addiction not to totally get where Lou Reed was coming from writing the song
@dayres67 dude, i don't know. now we have all of these posers like justin beiber claming he "the new generation of kurt cobain" and miley cyrus trying sooo hard trying to be hip... but we need real music back. the REAL love, the REAL peace and joy in music. not some dirty whore trash music.
Well, I agree with everything you are saying, but writing stuff like that does nothing but inspire the posers, who'll read it and think they stand for something the people have wished for so long. Nobody WANTS to be Justin Bieber, everybody wanna be Kurt Cobain, bu no one can, and instead we get all this cheap mainstream shit. We'd better just wait out the next big think silent, or go with some of the good music today, such as QOTSA, Pete Doherty, Mars Volta, Nick Cave...

@omgomgwaitiforgot you talk about love and peace man but the truth is you dont know anything the velvet underground was the father of punk rock THEY WERE NOT SMELLY FUCKIN HIPPIES
@omgomgwaitiforgot we have those music, but it's not famous anymore. The stupid persons today doesn't give atention to real good music, so they become forgotten, meanwhile everybody knows who bieber is. If you search harder, maybe you can find a lot of good stuff.
@omgomgwaitiforgot Subscribe to Spin magazine. A lot of great new artists who are even getting air play in other countries. It's so sad that the US plays shit on the radio compared to today's European countries. Oh and stop living in the past bro. The past generations could care less about the likes of Bieber and all the shit brains on the radio. They're more worried about who's running in the upcoming elections and cleaning up the debt. Don't still on the sidelines and observe. Make change man!
@omgomgwaitiforgot Bro, there's a lot of great music out there. I've said this a million times before and I'll say it again. Shit floats to the top. You need to dig underneath all the fill of mainstream music to find the gold. No one told you to listen to Bieber. Stop acting like people give a damn about him. I'm pretty sure he's got a lot of haters. You don't like today's music? Start a band. Make your own. Even the VU wasn't well known in it's time.
@omgomgwaitiforgot Not to mention, I'm sure past generations thought of the VU as "shit music" as well. Maybe future generations will look back to Bieber to rediscover him as "real music"
@omgomgwaitiforgot wish people like you would finally see there is great music today, but most of you can't, since it's "different" than the old stuff. I don't mean a difference in quality, just in style that throws the olde lovers for a loop. As a teenager I grew up with VU, but I also grew up with other fantastic contemporary bands, and both have increased by enjoyment and appreciation of music. Sure it's ok to be one dimensional, but don't pretend you know what "real music" is then.
wow man ...this song was my life .... i lived it and almost got away from it .....she gets me every now and then though ..........

You said it. I hear oj this bieber dude all the time but i have to say i havnt heard one of his songs. I don't think i have. If thats not what you wanna listen to then don't listen to it. Mr bieber doesnt care what us haters think. If i was him id be happy that my name was a topic of conversation here at all. i don't listen to the radio. All i have is my cds, spotify and this. I think real music stands the test of time.If not, it aint good enough.

@catbuttonify
I'd hardly call it shitty or hipster.. because some hipsters like this music, doesn't mean it's necessarily hipster. And the quality of this music is subjective.. I find it very nice and relaxing to listen to, however that's just one's opinion.

The Velvets were so ahead of their time...and their sound doesn't 'date'. When hippies were flower-powering it up in the West...these guys were doing their stuff in the East and their music is still influencing bands today!

Fuck this song provokes some strong responses, but it does some heroin up nicely, its your lover, wife,mum,dad, everything wrapped up in one and I defy anyone who has/ had a heroin addiction not to totally get where Lou Reed was coming from writing the song

@dayres67 dude, i don't know. now we have all of these posers like justin beiber claming he "the new generation of kurt cobain" and miley cyrus trying sooo hard trying to be hip... but we need real music back. the REAL love, the REAL peace and joy in music. not some dirty whore trash music.

Well, I agree with everything you are saying, but writing stuff like that does nothing but inspire the posers, who'll read it and think they stand for something the people have wished for so long. Nobody WANTS to be Justin Bieber, everybody wanna be Kurt Cobain, bu no one can, and instead we get all this cheap mainstream shit. We'd better just wait out the next big think silent, or go with some of the good music today, such as QOTSA, Pete Doherty, Mars Volta, Nick Cave...

@omgomgwaitiforgot Subscribe to Spin magazine. A lot of great new artists who are even getting air play in other countries. It's so sad that the US plays shit on the radio compared to today's European countries. Oh and stop living in the past bro. The past generations could care less about the likes of Bieber and all the shit brains on the radio. They're more worried about who's running in the upcoming elections and cleaning up the debt. Don't still on the sidelines and observe. Make change man!
triggerpuller101 5 months ago
@omgomgwaitiforgot Bro, there's a lot of great music out there. I've said this a million times before and I'll say it again. Shit floats to the top. You need to dig underneath all the fill of mainstream music to find the gold. No one told you to listen to Bieber. Stop acting like people give a damn about him. I'm pretty sure he's got a lot of haters. You don't like today's music? Start a band. Make your own. Even the VU wasn't well known in it's time.
triggerpuller101 5 months ago
@omgomgwaitiforgot Not to mention, I'm sure past generations thought of the VU as "shit music" as well. Maybe future generations will look back to Bieber to rediscover him as "real music"
triggerpuller101 5 months ago
@omgomgwaitiforgot wish people like you would finally see there is great music today, but most of you can't, since it's "different" than the old stuff. I don't mean a difference in quality, just in style that throws the olde lovers for a loop. As a teenager I grew up with VU, but I also grew up with other fantastic contemporary bands, and both have increased by enjoyment and appreciation of music. Sure it's ok to be one dimensional, but don't pretend you know what "real music" is then.
