1. Bush is an English alternative rock band formed in 1992. The group chose the name "Bush" because they used to live in Shepherd's Bush, London.
Their first album, Sixteen Stone (1994), was a huge commercial success. Almost overnight, Bush went from playing small pubs in London to headlining arenas in the US, the result of extensive promotion on MTV and non-stop touring. Critics labeled them as an inferior derivative of bands such as Nirvana and Pixies, and this criticism followed them throughout their career as a band. In particular, Rossdale's throaty singing voice and random, stream of consciousness-style lyrics were dismissed by some as an imitation of Nirvana's lead singer, Kurt Cobain. Although the band reached superstar status in the U.S., they failed to have much impact on the Britpop riddled UK charts, the lone exception being their single Swallowed, which reached #7. A change in record labels, management and an extended hiatus did not bode well for the band, who unofficially split in 2002.
Frustrated by the disappointing sales of Golden State (their fifth album, in 2001) and lack of support the band was receiving from Atlantic, the band decided to go on a hiatus. Band members went to work on various other musical projects notably Gavin Rossdale, and his new band Institute.
On June 21, 2010 it was announced that Bush were reuniting. There will be a new album called "The Sea of Memories" (previously named as "Everything Always Now"). Two original members, Rossdale and Goodridge, are joined by Chris Traynor and Corey Britz. The release will be their first indie release since Sixteen Stone, released on Rossdale's own Zuma Rock Records.
Bush's albums include Razorblade Suitcase (produced by Steve Albini), Deconstructed, The Science of Things, and Golden State.
In 2005, Bush released The Best of '94 - '99, a greatest hits compilation, and Zen X Four, a CD and DVD which features the band's music videos. Zen X Four was released on Kirtland Records and has its own website.
Bush will release their fifth studio album, The Sea Of Memories, on September 13, 2011. It is the band's first studio set in ten years, the first Bush album released on E1 Records and their first venture away from Interscope, who handled all of their previous releases. (Sound Of Winter Songfacts).
Bush's members have included Gavin Rossdale, Dave Parsons, Robin Goodridge, Sacha Putnam, Nigel Pulsford, and Chris Traynor who played lead guitar during the Golden State tour.
The track The People That We Love was featured in the game Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2.
In Canada, Rossdale's band was once known as Bush^X, because the 1970s band Bush, led by Domenic Troiano, owned the Canadian rights to the name. In April 1997, it was announced that Troiano had agreed to let them use the name Bush in Canada without the exponent X, in exchange for donating $20,000 each to the Starlight Foundation and the Canadian Music Therapy Trust Fund.
2. Bush was a 70s Canadian Rock band signed to RCA in Canada and Dunhill Records in the USA. The members were previously in Mandala and toured with Three Dog Night and Steppenwolf. The Canadian Bush forced the British Bush were forced to release their albums in Canada as Bush X.
Bush was a Canadian rock band in the early 1970s, which evolved from the respected club act Mandala.
Mandala had a minor Canadian hit with the song "Love-Itis". Bush consisted of ex-Mandala bandmates Domenic Troiano, Roy Kenner, Hugh Sullivan and Pentti Glan, plus Prakash John. The group released a single eponymous album in 1970. The band recorded on the RCA label in Canada and Dunhill in the US, and toured with label mates Steppenwolf and Three Dog Night. Three Dog Night released one of their songs, "I Can Hear You Calling" as the B-side of their successful single "Joy to the World". The song, co-written by Troiano, Kenner, Glan and Sullivan, also appeared on Three Dog Night's Naturally album. Bush was short-lived as a band, but had some influence among musicians for their jazz-influenced rock.
Bush became newsworthy again in 1995, as the result of an intellectual property dispute with the British alternative band Bush. As Troiano still owned the rights to that name, the British band were forced to release their albums in Canada as "Bushx". In late April 1997, Troiano and Gavin Rossdale reached an agreement under which Rossdale's band was permitted to use the name Bush without the letter X, in exchange for donating $20,000 each to the Starlight Foundation and the Canadian Music Therapy Trust Fund.
All of the band members continued in music after the breakup of Bush. Kenner and Troiano joined The James Gang, following the departure of Joe Walsh. They performed together on the albums Passin' Thru and Straight Shooter, after which Troiano left to join The Guess Who. Kenner stayed with The James Gang, then with lead guitarist Tommy Bolin, for two further albums, Bang and Miami. John and Glan became session musicians, who also toured with Alice Cooper and Lou Reed. Troiano later developed a successful solo career, which also included Kenner at various times. John later fronted a Toronto-based rhythm and blues band, The Lincolns, which continues to play today. In 2005, Domenic Troiano died at the age of 59, from prostate cancer.
Pentti Glan a.k.a. Whitey Glan (July 8, 1946 – November 7, 2017)
3. Intars Albužis, better known by his stage name Bush (formerly bū-š), is a Latvian rapper from Rīga, Latvia. He is a member of the hip-hop group Runu Zāle.

Bodies in Motion
Bush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tried to fly
I believe in myself
When there was nothing right
And I
I know I am dust
I know we are sand
But we give of ourselves
Why does it always rain
On Mondays
For me
Bodies in motion
Bodies at rest
Got to get inside you
Got to get lost
Jump into the water
Jump into your life
Diving in deep
To your ever changing light
I been lost
And I been found
I made my bed
In this sea of sound
And we have been so high
Been so low
Are you the one
That I need to know
Why does it always rain
On Mondays
For me
Bodies in motion
Bodies at rest
Got to get inside you
Got to get lost
Jump into the water
Jump into your life
Diving in deep
To your ever changing light
Into the deep of your ever changing light
Of your ever changing never changing light
Into your light
Into your light
We found love
And we found pain
And I know that you’re sinking
'Cause I feel the same
Why does it always rain
On Mondays
For me
Bodies in motion
Bodies at rest
Got to get inside you
Got to get lost
Jump into the water
Jump into your life
Diving in deep
To your ever changing light
Bodies in motion
Bodies at rest
Got to get inside you
Got to get lost
Jump into the water
Jump into your life
Diving in deep
To your ever changing light
In this song, Bush explores the highs and lows of life that everyone experiences. The lyrics “I spread my wings, I tried to fly, I believe in myself when there was nothing right” indicate the desire to achieve something, to reach new heights despite constantly facing obstacles. The next line, “I know I am dust, I know we are sand, but we give of ourselves as best as we can” acknowledges that life is fragile, but it’s important to keep pushing forward and giving everything you’ve got. The line “Why does it always rain on Mondays for me” suggests a feeling of constant struggle, even when new beginnings and opportunities await.
The chorus is repetitive and seems to represent the idea of diving into life head first, taking every opportunity to experience and explore the ever-changing light of life. The line “Got to get inside you, got to get lost” represents the idea of immersing oneself in new experiences, and finding oneself in the process. The phrase “Bodies in motion, bodies at rest” could represent the idea that life is always moving forward, but sometimes it’s important to slow down and take a break.
Overall, the song seems to be about embracing the journey of life, with all its ups and downs, and pursuing every opportunity presented. The chorus emphasizes the importance of taking risks and diving into the unknown, acknowledging that it might be scary but it’s ultimately worth it.

And I know that you’re sinking
I can sense that you are struggling and experiencing hardship
'Cause I feel the same
Because I am also facing similar challenges and difficulties
