"Black Balloon", referencing black tar heroin.

Songs they've had on soundtracks: "I'm Awake Now"-Freddy's Dead '91 "Long Way Down"-Twister '96 "Lazy Eye"-Batman and Robin '97 "Iris"-City of Angels '98 "Fiction"-Transformers '07 They've had songs in movies ever since the early 90's. This is not a recent development. But yes, smoking plus singing in a band for 20+ years is hard on a person's voice.

"This song, according to the band's frontman Johnny Rzeznik, is about a woman with a heroin addiction and how her lover is desperately trying to save her. He has also said that is about "seeing someone you love that is so great just screw up so bad." Speculation as to the song's subject has included bassist Robby Takac's wife (who overdosed on heroin)."
