Songs for addicts.
Hello eveyone,
I've had some trouble with drinking in the past and a still do a bit... so ill admit that
However, I am going to school for music therapy. I have been working with substance abuse patients...
My question to all of you is: what songs that you know of either now a days or frok back in the day, would be good for someone w. an addiction problem?
For example : man in the mirror by michael jackson is a good one.
A song that these people can relate to the lyrics...
Thank you so much for your help!
Ciao

Yes, Yes! Stick with it. If works, if you work it, it worths it!! You have to stick to the program. My best advice for you is to find someone or something positive in your life... something or someone you are grateful for. Find an activity such as music or art to keeps you busy instead of drinking or using.
What kind of activity does the therapist do with you? Have you done any lyric analysis or song writing or listening?
Keep posting too! The best thing you can do is talk about your feelings and express you emotions. Live the healthy life, you'll love it. I do.

"Crackhead" - Suede
You smoke your money, you burn your mind
You've done what's left of your social life
You sold your life for a big white rock
You're sucking on a pipe while the light's turned off
You ain't got nothing, ain't got no plans
The crack don't help but the pain don't end
You burn your money, you burn your mind
You smoke what's left of your social life
But you can't give it up, can't give it up
Give it up
You sold your life for a 4-gram stone
You don't see no-one, you smoke alone
You're lost and stuck and you burn your brain
You're sucking on a pipe while your life slips down the drain
You ain't got nothing, ain't got no friends
The ice don't help but the pain don't end
You waste your love on a cracked-up mind
You smoke what's left of your social life
No no no no no no
You can't give it up, can't give it up
Give it up
You can't stop, don't stop, won't stop
You got nothing, no, no
You can't stop, don't stop, won't stop
You got nothing, no, no
You can't stop, don't stop, won't stop.
"The Living Dead" - Suede
Where's all the money gone?
I'm talking to you
All up the whole in your arm is the needle a much better screw
But oh, what will you do alone?
Cos I have to go.
Where is this life of fun, that you promised me?
Nothing here works but your works and I mean it I have to leave
But oh, what will you do alone?
Cos I have to go.
If I was the wife of an acrobat
I look like the living dead, boy
You're on the wire and can't get back,
Let's talk about the living dead
Could have had a car
Could have had it all
Could have walked in the sky but we stare at the wall.
I know where the money's gone
I know what you do
Cos I've seen the hole in your arm and the needle's a much better screw
But oh, what will you do alone?
Cos I have to go.
"Heroin" - Suede
Took me on a limb
You've taken everything
Everything
As the clouds come in
As the rain begins
Rain begins
Heroin
Heroin
I'm out of it
No more songs to sing
No more love to bring
Love to bring
As the rain begins
Such a silly thing
Heroin
Heroin
Heroin
I'm out of it
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
Heroin
Heroin
I'm out of it
