people often think the Verve's " the drugs don't work" is about recreational drugs
In a 2010 interview with The Irish Times, Ashcroft cleared the air about the true meaning behind “The Drugs” when Richard said, “There is an air of calm and peace in my life now. But you remember The Drugs Don’t Work? Whenever we played that live there would be rows of grown men crying. It was almost like these guys couldn’t cry when they needed to cry, but that song operated like a pressure valve for them and it was okay for them to cry at a big rock concert. That song is so misunderstood [It’s not about drug use: Ashcroft wrote it about his dying father and the medication used to try to keep him alive] and when I won an Ivor Novello award for it, I was walking up to the stage – and really you would expect better from a serious music award such as the Ivor Novello – there were all these pictures of hypodermic needles all around the stage. Bloody irresponsible. |
