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.

Man on the Run
Bush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know the way you wanted
It's slow to the beyond
She gave me nearly everything
Kiss of life and everything in between
A dynamite and we disappear
Like smoke on horizon
Thought that I could lean on you
Forever, forever
Man on the run
You better step aside
Man on the run
Running for his life
Man on the run
Racing through the balance
Racing through the balance
Time waits for no one
Feel the walls closing in
My mind spins like helicopter blades
I never thought to be here now
The warning signs were so unclear
We could chase our busted dreams
Man on the run
You better step aside
Man on the run
Running for his life
Man on the run
Racing through the balance
Racing through the balance
Man on the run
You better step aside
Man on the run
Running for his life
Man on the run
Racing through the balance
Racing through the balance
Man on the run (man on the run)
Man on the run (man on the run)
Racing through the balance
Racing through the balance
Bush's song "Man on the Run" is a powerful, emotive track that explores themes of desperation, uncertainty, and the struggle for survival. The lyrics are cryptic and poetic, offering a range of interpretations depending on the listener's perspective.
At its heart, the song seems to be about a protagonist who is in the midst of a difficult journey. The lyrics discuss feeling lost and adrift, searching for something to hold onto but coming up empty. The lines "See yourself in this / I know the way you wanted / It's slow to the beyond" suggest a sense of disconnection from reality, as though the singer is watching their own life from a distance.
The refrain of "Man on the run / You better step aside / Man on the run / Running for his life / Man on the run / Racing through the balance / Racing through the balance" adds to this feeling of desperation and urgency. The suggestion is that the singer is being pursued, possibly by an external force or by their own inner demons. The idea of "racing through the balance" adds a sense of precariousness to the situation, as though the singer could easily tip over into danger.
Overall, "Man on the Run" is a haunting and emotionally resonant song that captures the struggle of being lost in a world that doesn't make sense. The lyrics are beautifully poetic and the music is powerful, making for a memorable listening experience.

See yourself in this
Take a look at yourself in this situation
I know the way you wanted
I understand what you desired
It's slow to the beyond
It's moving slowly toward the unknown
She gave me nearly everything
She provided me with almost everything
Kiss of life and everything in between
She provided me with the essentials for life as well as everything in between
A dynamite and we disappear
A powerful force that causes us to vanish
Like smoke on horizon
Like smoke on the horizon, we are disappearing into the distance
Thought that I could lean on you
I believed that I could rely on you
Forever, forever
For an indefinite amount of time
Man on the run
A person who is escaping or fleeing from something
You better step aside
Get out of the way for your own safety
Running for his life
Trying to escape or save himself
Racing through the balance
Moving quickly through the equilibrium
Time waits for no one
Time continues to pass, regardless of whether or not we are ready or prepared
Feel the walls closing in
Sensing that circumstances are becoming more intense and restricted
My mind spins like helicopter blades
My thoughts are racing and chaotic
I never thought to be here now
I never imagined that I would end up in this situation
The warning signs were so unclear
The indicators or indications of this situation were not apparent
We could chase our busted dreams
We could pursue the goals that have failed or fallen apart
Racing through the balance
Moving quickly through the equilibrium

I can so see Gavin's going through the 12 steps of recovery! Perhaps because i'm going through them also... but all the songs I've heard so far I've loved the lyrics! Very emotional with a positive message... I love it and hope they keep it up just like these songs! Can't wait to hear the whole thing!!! Love it all so far!
