@[Freddy:35791] Groover thanks for that Freddy. Listening to The Prodigy has kept me going through grim U.K. Lockdown in January 2021. Lots of the vocals in Prodigy records are Samples from hip hop tracks and old movies. I've got most into their early more Hardcore period tracks like Outa Space, Jericho, Charly. If you are American Freddy, you won't know that the sample in Charly is a old U.K. Child safety film which U.K. folks of a generation remember well. Charly has got a really heavy rhythm in The Alley Cat mix, general release single. Videos are on YouTube. I figured Smack may have been sampled off an old 'Blaxploitation' genre movie. Again what a rhythm going there? A friend who knows his rave/house music said The Prodigy were Hardcore before the music split into countless genres. Then they made Poison and pretty much made their very own path. Liam Howlett definitely a Prodigy as they were really young when putting out their early tracks. Lost their way until Invaders Must Die album. |

This song is about shooting up heroin. I remember commenting on the irony of this when a sickly sweet cover version was released in 2009 to work colleagues who wouldn't agree. The inclusion of a girl in one of the videos etc is a commercial decision as they wouldn't have got daytime AirPlay etc otherwise. The lyrics are pretty clear really. Listed in other comment here but 'No one else could heal my pain' opiates are emotional as well a physical pain killers.
'Pulsing though my vein, and I just can't contain, this feelin that remains' Please |

I think the title is a direct quote from 'Confessions of an English Opium Eater' by Thomas De Quincy. I'll have to check my copy to confirm. It may be from the similar Bible Passage though which Ive only learnt here. It most definately is a drug Recovery song though and interpreting it as a love song is badly mistaken. It borrows heavily from 'Calofornia Uber Alles' by Dead Kennedys (chorus riff). That is a satirical song by the way. |
