Re: Songs about addiction and recovery (post your recommendations!)

I'm just going to put some songs that made me think... in case there is another metalhead around....

this songs are from my favorite band megadeth

"Addicted To Chaos"

Only yesterday they told me you were gone
All these normal people, will I find another one?
Monkey on my back, Aching my bones
I forgot you said "One day you'll walk alone"
I said I need you, does that make me wrong?
Am I a weak man, are you feeling strong?
My heart was blackened, It's bloody red
A hole in my heart, a hole in my head?

Who will help me up?
Where's the helping hand?
Will you turn on me?
Is this my final stand?

In a dream I cannot see
Tangled abstract fallacy
Random turmoil builds in me
I'm addicted to chaos

Lights shined on my path,
Turn bad days into good
Turn breakdowns into blocks, I smashed 'em
Cause I could
My brain was Labored, My head would spin
Don't let me down, don't give up, don't give in
The rain comes down, cold wind blows
The plans we made are back up on the road
Turn up my collar, welcome the unknown
Remember that you said
"One day you'll walk alone"

also

I like this songs alot... all of them megadeth

-I thought I knew it all.
-Use The Man
-in my darkest hour

*JAZZ/FUSION*

I must mention that I also find very very pleasant JACO PASTORIUS music, which is my favorite bass player of all times... and also an ex-addict for he did not made it... which is sad...

so try weather report or jaco solo albums but this guy was really something special...
my favortite album is

Weather Report - heavy weather
jaco pastorious - word of mouth
