30 Day Music Challenge – Day 8
By Jeannette | July 9, 2017
Hope no-ones bored with this yet, music has always played a massive part in my life so I’m really enjoying this.
Today’s prompt is “A Song About Drugs and Alcohol”, one that instantly sprung to mind was “The Drugs Don’t Work” but, as I want this to be about songs that I listen to, decided not to choose that one.
Instead I’ve gone for:
One by Inxs, Suicide Blonde. Click here for the video.
It doesn’t specifically mention drugs but I think it’s alluded to:
“White light everywhere
But you can’t see a thing
Such a squeeze
A mad, sad moment
Glory to you, glory to you, take me there
Got some revelation put into your hands
Save you from your misery
Like rain across the land
Don’t you see
The colour of deception
Turning your world around again
You want to make her
Suicide Blonde”
And as this song is very well known to be about Michael Hutchence’s “corruption” of a certain blonde singer, I think it alludes to drugs as well as other deviances!
It’s a great song and another example of a great voice gone too soon.
I couldn’t think of any songs with alcohol mentioned, can you?

I’ve not heard of this song before, will have to give it a list. I think this is a great challenge. I might have to have a look at doing it myself.
