David Usher was born in Oxford to an ethnic Thai Buddhist, artist Samphan Usher and a Jewish Montrealer, Dan Usher, who is an economist at Queen's University.[1] He has relocated to Malaysia, New York, California and Thailand since early childhood before his family settled in Kingston, Ontario. He attended high school at Kingston Collegiate and Vocational Institute.
Attending university at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia, Usher joined Moist in 1993 and their 1994 debut release, Silver, went quadruple platinum in Canada. As the lead singer of the band, he shot to stardom with his soulful voice and vaguely exotic good looks.
After Moist's multi-platinum follow-up, Creature, was released in 1996, David took some time during the band's hiatus to record his debut solo album, Little Songs, released in 1998. That same year he married photographer and actress Sabrina Reeves, with whom he is still living. Together they have a daughter, Coco, who was born on January 12, 2003.
After recording the album Mercedes 5 and Dime with Moist, he revived his solo career again, releasing the highly successful Morning Orbit in the summer 2001. It contains the hit single "Black Black Heart". In 2003, he released another solo album entitled Hallucinations, which matched the amount of major label albums he had recorded with Moist.
In 2005, he surpassed that number with the release of If God Had Curves. The album had a resemblance to his first solo effort Little Songs, as it is dominantly an acoustic album. This album also featured a collaboration with Tegan Quin, on the track "Hey Kids".
2007 David and family have moved back to Montreal, Canada and David's embarking on a tour in September/October and November 2007.

Black Black Heart
David Usher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through my fingers sliding inside
All these blessings all these burns
I'm godless underneath your cover
Search for pleasure search for pain
In this world now I am undying
I unfurl my flag my nation helpless
Why would you make it easier on me to satisfy
I'm on fire I'm rotting to the core
I'm eating all your kings and queens
All your sex and your diamonds
As I begin to lose my grip
On these realities your sending
Taste your mind and taste your sex
I'm naked underneath your cover
Covers lie and we will bend and borrow
With the coming sign
The tide will take the sea will rise and time will rape
Black black heart why would you offer more
Why would you make it easier on me to satisfy
I'm on fire I'm rotting to the core
I'm eating all your kings and queens
All your sex and your diamonds
Black black heart why would you offer more
Why would you make it easier on me to satisfy
I'm on fire I'm rotting to the core
I'm eating all your kings and queens
All your sex and your diamonds
All your sex and your diamonds
All your sex and your diamonds
All your sex and your diamonds
All your sex and your diamonds
David Usher's song "Black Black Heart" is a haunting portrayal of a relationship defined by addiction, pain, and desire. The lyrics suggest that the singer is lost in a world of pleasure and pain, driven by his godless and undying nature. He is unable to resist the temptation to indulge in every pleasure that comes his way, including sex and diamonds, but this only leaves him feeling more empty and alone.
The chorus, "Black black heart, why would you offer more? Why would you make it easier on me to satisfy?" suggests that the singer is speaking to his own black heart, the part of himself that continues to seek out pleasure and feed his addiction, even as he becomes more and more disconnected from the world around him. He is aware that the cost of his addiction is high, but he is unable to stop himself from indulging in his own destruction.
The final verse, "Covers lie and we will bend and borrow, with the coming sign, the tide will take the sea will rise and time will rape," suggests that the singer is aware that his addiction is unsustainable, that he is living on borrowed time, and that the forces of nature will eventually overwhelm him. The song is a powerful commentary on the destructive power of addiction and the human desire for immediate gratification, even in the face of overwhelming consequences.

It took years for me to know what opera piece that David used in his debute single. The part is known as 'Duo des fleurs (The Flower Duet)' from the Opera Lakme of Léo Delibes.
Sous le dôme épais, où le blanc jasmin
À la rose s'assemble
Sur la rive en fleurs, riant au matin
Viens, descendons ensemble.
(Under the thick dome, where the white jasmine
With the rose gathers,
To the flowered river bank, with morning laughter,
Come, let us go down together.)

2024 год… А в сердце до сих пор то время, время которое было более 20 лет назад, светлое, беззаботное, мягкое…
Впервые услышал эту песню в самом начале 2000х, до сих пор помню этот прекрасный момент…

Я когда-то услышала эту песню на уроке музыки и она понравилась,а потом спустя какое-то время услышала мелодию к ней. И вот вчера ехала в машине с родителями и эта песня играет на радио. Я пыталась узнать название вслушиваясь в её текст. Мама мне сказала её название,потом приехав домой,я начала искать её и нашла с первого раза. Эта песня чудесна,когда слушаешь голос певицы на заднем плане создаётся ощущение,что как-будто слышишь голос ангела.
