    Lyrics:
    [Chorus]
    I have made big decision
    I'm gonna try to nullify my life
    'Cause when the blood begins to flow
    When it shoots up the dropper's neck
    When I'm closin' in on death
    You can't help me, not you guys
    Or all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
    You can all go take a walk
    And I guess I just don't know
    And I guess that I just don't know

      I knew a guy from Boston who was a great Lou Reed fan. He worked as counselor at a drug rehab program in Connecticut. When he was working Fridays and we had been behaving ourselves he would reward us by doing Waiting For My Man on acoustic guitar. It was my first exposure to Reed and the Velvet Underground. He stayed clean as long as he worked at 😅the center but eventually left. Several years later I was home on leave from the military when another counselor and close friend of his from Boston told me he had committed suicide. I’m still convinced that if he had stayed at the rehab center and continued to help fellow addicts that he could very well be alive today.

      I've never understood why ex junkies who have been clean for a while get celebrated and their past misdemeanours completely written off, it's as if being a junkie come good is a badge of honour. I've been in relationships with people who have been completely ignored by their parents, much to their mental detriment, because the parents are too busy blowing smoke up the arse of the other sibling who has blown a huge amount of time and money injecting some nasty shit into their veins.

    Surpasses the original track off the Velvet's 1967 debut, which wasn't too dusty, either. Lou Reed was one of the greatest rhythm guitarists rock and roll has blessed us with. His lyrical preoccupations took us into the dark corners of the psyche where few were brave enough to venture.

Nice ‘volume swells’ from Steve Hunter or Dick Wagner’s guitar - probably using the guitar’s volume control knob (pot) to create those ‘cat like’ cries … or a ‘volume pedal ?’ …. I can’t get over the fact this was recorded in December 1973 ! Nothing else like it ‘live’ ….

    It's hard to imagine any other artist writing or recording this song, let alone numerous times. This version is my favourite although according to biographer Anthony DeCurtis it wasn't Lou's favourite version, I used heroin for a while and it does get to me in a way that's both nostalgic and disturbing... this does romanticise it a bit but then, you do...

Steve Howe on the first album, Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner on this one, Danny Weis with that solo on Kill Your Sons. It sounds like the stuff you'd hear on a Judas Priest or a Camel record.

    Heroin.
    I don't know just where I'm going
    But I'm goin' to try for the kingdom if I can
    'cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
    When I put a spike into my vein
    Then I tell you things aren't quite the same
    When I'm rushing on my run
    And I feel just like jesus' son
    And I guess I just don't know
    And I guess that I just don't know
    I have made very big decision
    I'm goin' to try to nullify my life
    'cause when the blood begins to flow
    When it shoots up the dropper's neck
    When I'm closing in on death
    You can't help me not you guys
    All you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
    You can all go take a walk
    And I guess I just don't know
    And I guess I just don't know
    I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
    I wish that I'd sailed the darkened seas
    On a great big clipper ship
    Going from this land here to that
    I put on a sailor's suit and cap
    Away from the big city
    Where a man cannot be free
    Of all the evils in this town
    And of himself and those around
    Oh, and I guess I just don't know
    Oh, and I guess I just don't know
    Heroin, be the death of me
    Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life
    Because a mainer to my vein
    Leads to a center in my head
    And then I'm better off than dead
    When the smack begins to flow
    Then I really don't care anymore
    About all the jim-jims in this town
    And everybody putting everybody else down
    And all of the politicians makin' crazy sounds
    All the dead bodies piled up in mounds, yeah
    Wow, that heroin is in my blood
    And the blood is in my head
    Yeah, the god's good as dead
    Ooohhh, God that I'm not aware
    I just don't care
    And I guess I just don't know
    And I guess I just don't know

    The sublimity of this song and this version, its perfected picturing of despair, euphoria,longing, anomie, mania, the alienation of true individuality even apart from any drug at all, yet also the changed vision, changed sensibility and stark romanticism which exclusively Heroin brings, all converge to make this piece of music stand with the greatest of any category, from Beethoven and Wagner to Miles Davis and John Coltrane. It is one of the most powerful musical statements ever made. It will defy official fashions, morals, and aesthetics for centuries, and strike like lightning into the heads of all new generations who hear it, just as it did mine at age 12 , one truant afternoon in a sadistic and shallow, beautiful little beach town in Orange County, CA, thereby changing my life forever.

  • @timgracyk
    @timgracyk Год назад +3

    Everyone agrees this is great except for Lou Reed. I read that Lou Reed resented being upstaged--maybe resented it as early as during the live shows or maybe when the LP became a hit (commercial success reached Lou Reed, so he must have asked himself, "Have I had sold out?"). He viewed this hot band as a mistake for his career. It was like he was pushed to the side, a mere vocalist between guitar solos, not the star performer. He performed with these skilled musicians but did not know ahead of time that these guys would get so much applause. I'm not sure he personally hired them--maybe Bob Ezrin did the hiring. In 1972, before performing with these amazing musicians, Lou Reed did live shows with weak musicians. Those shows were a snooze, and Lou Reed's career was stalling. Then magic hit with the late 1973 Rock and Roll Animal concerts.. Audiences listening to FM radio felt Lou Reed struck gold due to Wagner, Hunter, Prakash John (amazing bass player), and Penti Glan (great drums). But Lou didn't feel that way. From 1975 onwards Lou Reed would never again let others upstage him. He would NOT allow great musicians like Wagner and Hunter to steal shows. The result in Lou Reed's later years was mediocre records, disappointing live shows. Lots of people went to Lou Reed live shows in the late 1970s expecting THIS kind of hot show (the Rock and Roll Animal lp was a big hit, as I said), but audiences at shows from 1975 onwards felt disappointment. By the way, I had a friend who went to a Lou Reed live show around 1974 or 1975 with the expectation that it would be like Rock and Roll Animal. My friend was amazed that Lou Reed was shooting up heroin on the stage. Ah, but maybe it was medicine for diabetes--or nothing. Was real heroin being used, or was this mere theater (like in an Alice Cooper show)? Nobody can know for sure except for Lou Reed.

      But this was not the first nor the last time big Lou threw a tantrum about being "upstaged" or having to share the spotlight. It's the reason Nico and subsequently Cale were ousted from VU. You detailed his reaction to RnR Animal. And his issue with Bob Quine in the early 80s to the reason the VU reunion in 1993 crashed and burned. Oh well. Reed did his best work with those people. Too bad he didn't seem to feel that way.
