i think both are searching for a feeling to replace an obsession with death--both are actually attempting to stop fighting with death.
though the paul/john lyrics are all about belief--that it is the fight against death that causes pain and sadness; meanwhile, lou's fear of meaningless living and dying is replaced by an addiction to non-belief, non-life. sluicing dope into his veins makes him feel not like he's alive, and not like he's dead, but in between like jesus' son: a pointless, motionless wait for someone to either empathize with him, to really understand him--or to kill him.

I don't think Lou Rawls is glorifying the drug scene; probably just the opposite.I'm blessed to have never seen the need to inject a foreign substance into my blood in order to alter my mood. But I can understand how one's life could come to the point of such despair that he feels the need. The majority live by props of some kind.
The Lennon/McCarney song appears to me to be some more of that Buddhist philosophy that is so much a part of the music of the 60's. I'm considering a post about the song "Wheels"- good song abou the revolving nature of life, the need to mature beyond the rat-race.
Thanks, Dan. You like to remind us of these guys from the 60's, don't you?

yea well, that is our time was it? the songs seem to have more meaning back then. Lou reed was the gin rock total NYC as in summon and garfunkle is. when I think of them I get home sick for the city. Yes the Beatles was in to Buddha as you know they went to India and George really got in to Sitar as I always wanted to learn to play that. 60's and 70's was great time and I am glad that, I was there at that time. We did play a lot of there music when I played in the band. we also played a lot of the doors and I do get into bob Dylan also.
life can get depression at time but I never got into hard drugs. I did smoke pot but back not really got into it that much.

live is a mystery and we all must find the key to it! it was grim and grin music to express the filling that they had. He was in the group of Andy warhole and the art friends and music. My friends think my art friends art strange. Oh well, that how it goes. You are in the art seen or you not you have to be there to understand it. Anyway thanks for the comment and I agree with all you said.

well yea, we know that I was talking about that. I think we all know that.. John said it wasnt drugs but a dream he had after reading a book. but sound more like a drug trip. just like lucy in the sky they all said it was drugs, but it was a painting of a girl from his son(Juilan Lennon) school.

Lyrics are like poetry sometimes and Lennon and McCartney are two of the greatest poets of the 20th century, i must say in my humble opinion
