Not really. What song do you think is?

mareck001 t1_j5zi50s wrote

It's hard to really name 1 song off such a stellar and almost perfect album....

1

TFFPrisoner t1_j5zz0uv wrote

I mean songs that fulfill the OP's request of having drug references. There are songs about dying, about flying, about money, about mental illness, about war, but about drugs?

mareck001 t1_j65drk0 wrote

The whole album is based on Syd Barret going crazy due to psychedelics overuse....

1

TFFPrisoner t1_j65ezak wrote

Still think there are more obvious choices in their catalog. "Nobody Home" springs to mind.

Syd inspired them, sure, but DSOTM is pretty universal - I think Roger said the concept was "pressures of modern life" and that's how they started putting ideas together.

1

mareck001 t1_j6650xe wrote

That was the wall and it was the pressures of fame and being a rock star.

DSOTM was a slow slide into mental illness

Depends on what you call good, as I listen to a lot of musical variety. Here's a few I haven't seen yet:

The Needle and the Damage Done - Neil Young.

A Short Term Effect - the Cure (to name the most blatant one...)

Drugs - Roxy Music (I think, I mostly know covers - Eno and Ferry wrote it)

Rocket Man - Elton John

Space Oddity - David Bowie (if too vague, Ashes to Ashes verifies - ashes to ashes, funk to funky, we all know Major Tom's a junkie - strung out in heaven's high, hitting an all time low).
