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 ↴
You will carry always
Truth of the scars
And the darkness of your faith
Slowly move on
How did we get to here
It all went wrong
Everything looks so much better now
Looks so much better now
You will get yours
You will get yours
You will get yours
You have no right
To ask me now
You were never that around
And I have missed
Reality day-trips
And your suit me suit me ways
Turn out the light switch
We've been awake for days
And no-one's coming round here no more
No-one's coming round here
You will get yours
You will get yours
You will get yours
You will get yours
You will get yours
You have no right
You have no right
To calm me down
You were never that around
I have missed
I have missed
Cold contagious
All the mighty mighty men
What you save is
What you lose out in the end
Cold contagious
Cold contagious
Paint your perfect day
I don't mind this
I'm better off by the way
Deeply grounded
You will get yours
You will get yours
You will get yours
You will get yours
You will get yours
You will get yours
Cold contagious
All the mighty mighty men
What you save is
What you lose out in the end

The lyrics to Cold Contagious by Bush depict a sense of emotional turmoil and pain, as well as a certain level of resentment towards someone who is trying to reconnect. The singer of the song has endured scars and darkness in their life, and even though they seem to have moved on, they are still haunted by these experiences. The chorus, "You will get yours," can be seen as the singer's warning to this person that they will face their own consequences for their actions. The second verse seems to suggest that the person trying to reconnect was never really present in the singer's life, and they have learned to live without them. The line "reality day-trips and your suit me suit me ways" suggests that this person was perhaps always trying to fit the singer into their own mold, rather than accepting them as they were. The song also touches on the idea that life can be a struggle, but that progress can be made with time and effort.
Overall, the song seems to be about letting go of the past, accepting one's scars and moving forward in life without people who have caused pain. The use of metaphors, such as "gravity claiming all your tears," adds to the emotional intensity of the song. The message of the song seems to be that even though life can be hard, it's possible to heal and move forward, but not without consequences.

Wherever you are
No matter where you go, the experiences you've had will always be with you
You will carry always
Those experiences will stay with you forever
Truth of the scars
You'll always remember the pain you've been through
And the darkness of your faith
You may have lost faith in something or someone, and that darkness will stay with you
Slowly move on
It's time to start moving forward, even if it's a slow process
How did we get to here
Reflecting on how things went so wrong
It all went wrong
Things didn't turn out as planned
Gravity claiming all your tears
It feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders, and you can't stop crying
Everything looks so much better now
Things are finally starting to look up
You will get yours
Karma will catch up to you eventually
You have no right
You can't ask me for something you don't deserve
To ask me now
It's too late to ask for something you should have done earlier
You were never that around
You weren't there when I needed you
And I have missed
I missed having you around, even though you weren't there for me
Reality day-trips
Escaping reality for a little bit
And your suit me suit me ways
Your selfish behavior that only benefited you
Turn out the light switch
It's time to sleep and forget everything for a little while
We've been awake for days
The stress and anxiety has been keeping us up for nights on end
And no-one's coming round here no more
No one is around to help anymore
Cold contagious
The coldness and negativity is spreading, and it's hard to escape it
All the mighty mighty men
The people who were once held in high regard now seem weak and insignificant in comparison
What you save is
What you try to hold onto and protect
What you lose out in the end
Ends up slipping away in the end
Paint your perfect day
Imagine a perfect day for yourself
I don't mind this
I'm ok with how things are going
I'm better off by the way
I've come out stronger despite everything that's happened
Deeply grounded
I'm firmly rooted in my beliefs and values

It really hasn’t. Still reminds me of 1997 when I was 11 years old . Played this cassette tape all day everyday. Still come back to this album to reminisce on a much simpler time.
