Blonde Redhead has gradually increased in popularity in the underground music scene. Their early music has been described as emulative of Sonic Youth, but their more recent releases have begun to stray from this generalization. Kazu Makino is noted for her high, eerie voice, which hovers over melodic guitar riffs and rhythmic drum beats.
The large span of time between Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons and Misery is a Butterfly is attributed to Makino's recovery time after being trampled by a horse. Much of Misery Is A Butterfly's imagery and illustration is equestrian or reflective of the accident. In the liner notes, Makino thanks her doctors "and her friends who fed her and cheered her up when she couldn't do much on her own."
The band's 7th album is called "23" and was released in April 2007.
Their 8th album, "Penny Sparkle" was released in September 14, 2010.

Blonde Redhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh you were gonna run with me
Tell me why talk to lie, tell me why, tell me why
Oh you were gonna run with me
Show you how, show you how, show you how when to stop
Oh you were gonna run with me
Roland takes the sea, but he goes without me
Roland makes the move, but he goes without me
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why you're the one
Oh you were gonna run with me
Walk you through, walk you through, I walk you through my story
Oh you were gonna run with me
Roland takes the sea, but he goes without me
Roland takes the trip but he goes without me
Roland makes the move, but he goes without me
He goes without me
Roland takes the sea but he goes without me
Roland takes the trip but he went without me
Roland, he goes without me
Roland, he goes without me
Roland ...
The lyrics of Blonde Redhead's song "Heroine" seem to be about a failed or lost connection between two people. The singer is asking why the other person lied and did not follow through with their plans to run away together. The singer also references someone named Roland who takes trips and makes moves without them, possibly symbolizing a feeling of being left behind or forgotten. The repetition of the phrase "Tell me why" and "Oh you were gonna run with me" suggests a feeling of confusion and disappointment.
As the song progresses, the singer continues to express their sadness and longing for the other person to stay with them. They mention that they were going to walk the other person through their story, but now they are left alone. The repetition of Roland going without them emphasizes the singer's sense of abandonment and loneliness. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of loss and regret over a missed opportunity for a deep connection.

I've never heard a lovelier song than this. There's a haunting beauty to it that touches me in the corner of my heart reserved for that which I cherish the most. I relate it to every lucid dream I've ever had...and each bright face I've ever met in my life. Some songs are soundtracks to one's own life and the moment I first heard this, I felt a sense of tranquil deja-vu; a flashback to when life was simple and the world was still fresh and new. Childhood is unbelievable.

You'll probably never hear this beautiful music on mainstream channels
Uchiha Hikaku
Mainstream DJs and listeners abuse music till there is no life left in the song to give. They don't appreciate music so definitely don't deserve to hear the beauty all of us here understand.....
