Songwriting and Drugs

by Steve V.
(Brooklyn, New York)

Does anyone here think that doing drugs can help you write good songs? Especially if it's a party/dance song. I mean, when people are out at a party dancing to hit songs, they are under the influence of drugs. Wouldn't it be a good idea to put myself in their frame of mind when writing?

I have a few friends that occasionally do acid and coke and said that it helps their songwriting. I'm curious to try it, but I don't want to feel like I need drugs to write a good song. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Drugs?
Are you nutz
Maybe they'll help for the short term
but worry about your future
the drugs will cause too much damage to you're body and destroy you're creativity in the long run.
Just look at Ozzy he did so many drugs he pisses himself everytime he's on stage. He gets soaked before he goes out on stage so that noone can see him wet himself.

You shouldn't need anything like drugs to write songs. Song writing should come from the heart. Usually, I find I need an idea of somesort, like a picture or good drawing, then create imagery on the idea(s) I am working with. I am a songwriter, writing my fourth song right now; do not have a band at the moment, nor any demo tapes produced.
