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.

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
The lyrics to “Body” by Bush touch on themes of self-reflection, change, and the search for deeper meaning. The opening lines, “I spread my wings, I tried to fly, I believe in myself when there was nothing right,” suggest a sense of determination and resilience in the face of adversity. The following lines, “I know I am dust, I know we are sand, but we give of ourselves as best as we can,” touch on the transience of life and the idea that humans are small but capable of making a meaningful impact.
The chorus of the song asks a question that the singer seems to be struggling with: “Why does it always rain on Mondays for me?” The use of rain as a metaphor for struggle and difficulty suggests a sense of frustration with the challenges of life. The rest of the lyrics speak to the transformative power of love and the importance of taking risks and diving into the unknown. The lines “Jump into the water, jump into your life, diving in deep to your ever-changing light” suggest a willingness to embrace change and the unknown.
Overall, the lyrics to “Body” deal with themes of personal growth, self-discovery, and resilience in the face of difficulty. The words suggest that it is possible to find meaning and purpose even in the midst of struggle.
Line by Line Meaning
I spread my wings
I took a risk and tried something new
I tried to fly
I attempted to succeed at something
I believe in myself
I have confidence in my abilities
When there was nothing right
During a difficult or uncertain time
And I
A continuation of the previous line
I know I am dust
I know that I am mortal and impermanent
I know we are sand
I know that we are also impermanent and changing
But we give of ourselves
Despite our impermanence, we still contribute and offer ourselves
As best as we can
To the best of our abilities and capacity
Why does it always rain on Mondays for me
Expressing a sense of bad luck or misfortune
Bodies in motion
People actively moving and doing things
Bodies at rest
People not actively doing anything
Got to get inside you
Wanting to connect emotionally with someone
Got to get lost
Desiring to escape and lose oneself
Jump into the water
Taking a risk
Jump into your life
Fully embracing and participating in one's own life
Diving in deep
Delving deeply into something
To your ever changing light
The constantly evolving aspect of life and identity
I been lost
I have felt confused or directionless
And I been found
I have found direction or resolution
I made my bed
I have committed myself to something or somewhere
In this sea of sound
Navigating the chaos and stimulation of life
And we have been so high
We have experienced great highs and peaks
Been so low
We have also experienced great lows and valleys
Are you the one
Is this person the right one
That I need to know
Do I need to know if this person is right for me
We found love
We have discovered a connection and affection for each other
And we found pain
We have also experienced hurt and suffering
And I know that you're sinking
Knowing that the other person is struggling and suffering
'Cause I feel the same
Because I also feel the same way
