Here's a song I wrote back in March while zonked on Morphine in the hospital following a kidney infection. I laid down the basic guitar track you hear as soon as I got home and while still heavily sedated.

The song was written in a stupor, and I did not want to alter the basic rhythm guitar tracks, even though I know they are not as good as I could do them while sober. The song doesn't follow a 'normal' song structure, but it is what it is.

My experience with Morphine really revealed to me how powerful heroin addiction is and wahy we lose so many to this drug.

It was written from the perspective of a drug user who is struggling with addiction to heroin and in the song, he actually has a conversation with the drug.

I don't really like any of my original works, and I prefer to perform covers, but the sudden death of our bassist on February 4, 2019 re-enforced to me the need to complete projects, whether I like them or not.

Please forgive the production...

Heroine - Angel In Black
 
You rock it Rob.

Ok, so it's not a song that I'm going to push thru my truck stereo as I coast the town...but it has some attributes I really dig.

I hate drugs, so that kills the deal for me from the start.

I have difficulty with the rhythm, it kind of throws me off, however, i Love the change where it says " and she smiles" ..that vibe is killer.
I also love the tone on some of those riffs. Some of the pinch harmonics are very tasty....I do a lot of that when I play, so I can relate.

Your singing is great. You have a good voice, and hit your notes. It sells this song, and fits.

I have certainly heard you lay down better jam tracks, but overall it's a good production....i enjoyed listening. thanks for sharing.

The concept of the song is the addict talking to the drug and trying to quit, but the drug tells him lies to keep him hooked. Its definitely anti-drug.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I figure it will - at the very least - fill up a 3 minute hike on the new CD....

P.S. The rhythm timing is kinda off because I was still under a sedative when I laid down the rhythm tracks, but elected to keep them anyways.

Not a song I'm real proud of, just happy that it's at least completed!!!
