2) The Australian band Crow originated in Sydney in the late '80s, featured songwriter (and later actor) Peter Fenton. They released three critically acclaimed albums (My Kind Of Pain, produced by Steve Albini, Li-Lo-Ing and Play With Love) and a number of EPs but broke up still relatively undiscovered. They were on the "Half A Cow" label originally, before appearing on RA records, amongst others. The band was responsible for the organisation of the soundtrack to the movie Praise, which also featured Fenton in a lead role. Widely respected Australian instrumental band, The Dirty Three also contributed to this project. In June 2007, a reformed Crow began to play gigs again and in 2009 they recorded an new album that was mixed by Jim Moginie of Midnight Oil. The album will be released in 2010 with the first single Ghost at the crossroads released in February 2010.
3) The Japanese Crow was a previous name for Kagrra, while they were on the "Key Party label". They changed their name and record label by switching over to "PS Company" in mid 2000. Their first release with PSC was in Dec that year. As Crow their sole release, a mini album, Hyakuyae, came out in 1999. They also featured on a DVD and collection CD both titled HAND IN YOUR KEY, along with their 'brother band' Lar~Mia in Jan 2000.
4) There was also an American blues-rock band called Crow from Minneapolis. Originally named south 40, which had a US top 20 single with the song Evil Woman. The song was later released by black sabbath as their first single. (evil woman (don't play your games with me))
5) The Whitstable band CROW (Kent) formed in the early 1990's from the ashes of Door Marked Summer. Their rousing brand of Tribal Psychedelic Prog-Rock is tempered with a Hardcore/Crust-Punk edge, and has evolved to incorporate influences from Dub, Trance and Funk. The band have amassed a large following, regularly playing Folkestone's Leas Cliff Hall both as headline and as support to bands such as Girlshool and Here and Now (ex-Gong). CROW split in 1995 following the departure of Mike Ashbee, but reformed in early 2008, after the death of their former promoter Brian Steele.
Halo
Crow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know how much I care
I'd do anything For you
You can lace me that noose
Betting twos and sevens
Like I got nothing to lose
Don't call me angel girl
I sold my halo
I sold my halo
Don't call me angel girl
I sold my halo
Don't call me angel
Oh, don't call me angel
I'm up to no good
You're bad for me babe
You got me acting like a fool
You're tempting me
Aren't you
Those cute gorgeous eyes
Invite me to your room
Girl your hips got me insane
Forgive me I don't know
What I'm saying
I should be at church praying
But you got me acting like a pagan
Don't call me angel girl
I sold my halo
Don't call 'em angel girl
I sold my halo
Cause red and blue don't mix
That don't mean
I don't want you though
Don't call me angel girl
Oh don't call me angel
You're a goddess
Turning sinners to believers
Sharing grace to whoever needs it
Light so pure
It burns me up
Your cigarette kisses
Aren't enough
The two of us
Make no sense
You like the order
And I'm a mess
The two of us
Make no sense
But who cares
If red and blue
Don't mix
Don't call me angel girl
I sold my halo
Don't call 'em angel girl
I sold my halo
Cause red and blue don't mix
That don't mean
I don't want you though
Don't call me angel girl
Don't call me angel
Oh don't call me angel girl
Don't call me angel
Oh don't call me angel girl
Don't call me angel
Cause red and blue don't mix
That don't mean
I don't want you no
Don't call me angel girl
Don't call me angel
(Call me angel) no
The lyrics of Crow's song "Halo" depict a journey, both physical and spiritual. The singer is traveling down a road, in the rain, with no set destination. There is a sense of adventure and uncertainty as the person steps out into the "great unknown" with one eye on the open road. The phrase "highway halo" refers to the idea that the journey, rather than the destination, is what gives a sense of purpose and meaning to life. The singer is not alone on this journey as they refer to a person named Lily Kimball, who is described as a "patron saint" and "traveling minstrel". It is speculated that Lily Kimball could be a person who acts as a guide, or perhaps a metaphor for a spiritual or emotional support system. The image of "dusty wings" and "broken chains" suggests that both the singer and Lily Kimball have faced struggles or hardships in their lives, but they are still moving forward, shining like gold.
The second verse gives a sense of the singer's mindset as they journey. The passing trains are described as sounding like silver, which has connotations of wealth and prestige. However, the singer understands that such things are only temporary and that "fortune's just a painted stone." The next lines suggest that the singer is not interested in material possessions as they are "going where them hobos roam", and are crowned "king of a jungle throne." This could be interpreted as a desire for freedom, rather than wealth or status.
The final lines of the song bring the narrative back to the idea of a "highway halo." The singer is going where their soul leads them, with the sound of their "big wheels roll." They understand that the journey may be difficult, but they will light up the darkest road with a "beam of eternal glow." The idea of a "highway halo" is represented in the song as a journey, filled with ups and downs, but one that ultimately leads to a sense of purpose and meaning in life.
