HEROIN
“…Heroin,
be the death of me.
Heroin,
It’s my wife & it’s my life...”
"Heroin" sparked controversy when it was unleashed on the 1967 album 'The Velvet Underground & Nico'. At the time, a song dealing with drug use was bold.
Lou Reed's lyrics deal with a user about to escape his reality with heroin. It elevated him to one of the key songwriters in rock music.
