I was addicted to heroin for about five years. When i went to rehab i was empty and destroyed. Then i started to listen to some old music l loved when i was a teenager. Now i am obsessed with pearl jam, alice in chains and red hot. i listen to it 24/7. My friends says that it is unnatural to listen to music around the clock, like it's my new drug. Fuck it! I freaking love this drug!
High school, first half of the 90's. No internet, just radio, tv (no money for cable tv, so it was a luck to find this in a tv music show), just a cd here and there or if a friend had the album would record it to you. Good old times, simple and nice. Miss the 90's, sometimes it seems it was ysterday...
Songs have differant meanings to differant people sometimes we'll never know what the writer actually meant but it depends on the person and how the can relate differantly depending on their own circumstance
Vocalist Eddie Vedder about "Daughter":
The child in that song obviously has a learning difficulty. And it's only in the last few years that they've actually been able to diagnose these learning disabilities that before were looked at as misbehavior, as just outright rebelliousness. But no one knew what it was.
And these kids, because they seemed unable or reluctant to learn, they'd end up getting the shit beaten outta them. The song ends, you know, with this idea of the shades going down—so that the neighbors can't see what happens next.
What hurts about shit like that is that it ends up defining peoples' lives. They have to live with that abuse for the rest of their lives. Good, creative people are just fucking destroyed.
