"It always bothers me to see people writing ‘RIP’ when a person dies. It just feels so insincere and like a cop-out. To me, ‘RIP’ is the microwave dinner of posthumous honors." - Lou Reed

I'm 21 and I've been a heroin addict for a year now. There is no such thing as trying heroin, only sharing your life with it. The lyrics Lou sings describe the experience perfectly, it's a beautiful thing. The thing that ruins lives is addiction, it's important to remember that heroin and addiction are two separate things. If you use some of the logic that some people are posting then there should be no love songs either as that inevitably ends up in pain and suffering. This is just a love song.

This version is great, the way he performs it, the way he turned Heroin in this sort of black mass, with the organ & all. Thanks for uploading this.

Well done...only someone who has been through it would know the utter wretchedness. I had to quit suddenly on a foreign holiday, and it was ''something I wouldn't wish to repeat''..But I have to repeat it....or be on for the rest of my life. When one has got clean, one does feel so much more ''alive'' ..one laughs a whole lot more. that is what I notice..drug free people do really laugh-and I miss that. As one gets older, you think ''been there/done that'' and you know the futility of addiction.
