1) Poland's popular music act of the 1990s. The band was founded in Szczecin, Poland in 1992 by guitarist Piotr Banach and charismatic lead singer Kasia Nosowska.
Although Hey sometimes described themselves as Poland's first grunge band, their melodic, guitar-driven rock and eclectic appearance owed more to New Wave and heavy metal influences; their first three albums contained songs in both Polish and English. During the band's mid-1990s heyday, they sold out stadiums throughout Poland, and attempted to break into the English-language market with a series of concerts overseas and an English version of their 1995 album. When this failed to arouse interest, the band began to write in Polish only, and gradually adopted a harder-edged, more industrial-influenced sound.
2) A Korean female singer who had a hit called "Je t'aime", recorded in both Korean and French. She has released three albums so far, her latest being recorded in 2008. Little is known about the Korean Hey, but she is still active and promoting the latest EP. See 해이.
3) Only German project of heyrec label (see [[http://heyrec.org]]) is represented at Last.fm with its tune of "Hey - Sans Toi".
4) Japanese video game developer, Shohei Yuki (ユキ ショウヘイ). He composed FM Synth music for his games. Capitalization of the name for this artist is 'HEY'.

Hey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the 'and of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
These songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfil de book.
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfil de book.
Won't you help to sing
Dese songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs -
All I ever had:

These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom.
The lyrics to Bob Marley's Redemption Song express an enduring message of hope and resilience, even in the face of oppression and struggle. The song begins by acknowledging the historical reality of slavery, with the line "Old pirates, yes, they rob I." This line refers to the legacy of colonialism and the slave trade that has shaped the history of many Caribbean nations. The lyrics then describe the experience of being sold into slavery ("Sold I to the merchant ships") and the feeling of being trapped ("From the bottomless pit"). However, even in the depths of despair, the singer finds strength in their faith ("But my hand was made strong / By the 'and of the Almighty") and a sense of purpose in fighting for freedom ("We forward in this generation / Triumphantly").
The chorus is a call to action, inviting listeners to join in the struggle for freedom ("Won't you help to sing / These songs of freedom?"). Marley emphasizes the importance of mental liberation as well, as the line "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery" suggests that freedom from oppression must be achieved first in the mind. The lyrics then address more contemporary struggles for justice, including the threat of nuclear war ("Have no fear for atomic energy") and the ongoing violence against social justice leaders ("How long shall they kill our prophets, / While we stand aside and look?"). Despite these challenges, the singer insists that the struggle for freedom is ongoing and must be continued ("We've got to fulfil de book").
Overall, the lyrics of Redemption Song communicate a powerful message of hope, urging listeners to join in the struggle for freedom and justice. Through its lyrics, the song has become an enduring anthem of resistance and liberation across the world.
