music video for Gil Scott-Heron's "The Bottle" Directed by Steve Rivo and Adam Shore. Produced in 1998 as part of CD re-issue of "Winter In America" on TVT Records.
This was one of the very first songs to address the issues of alcoholism & alcohol abuse! I am a Native Man who was career drinker for 25 years, have been sober for 20 years now. I am now NO longer LIVING IN THE BOTTLE!
I'm an Italian 20 year old fella. After months of knowing about this song I've just decided to comment under one of its videos on TH-cam. I had to leave my mark too on this masterpiece. Gil Scott-Heron you will never be forgotten and your legacy won't be either. It will forever enlighten new generations of people without ceasing, just like it's happened to me. People who have great music taste will always be here. Salute from the most beautiful country in the world, Italy. (2:22 a.m. of the 31st October, 2021). Peace.
I can relate to this song.... My mother was an alcoholic, her father was an alcoholic, and I am an alcoholic working on my issue. After finding this song I've been 6 days without a drink. Thank you Gil. Rest in peace brother
I had the extended version on tape 25 years ago. I used to walk around london listening to this on my walkman😂 I got to see this man live in Portugal just before he passed🙏🏽

This song is dear to me because I spent 15 years of my life "in the bottle." But praise GOD, I have been sober now for 32 years.
