The band had a revolving line-up of bassists and drummers, their most prolific being drummer Patty Schemel, and bassists Kristen Pfaff (d. 1994) and Melissa Auf der Maur. In 2002 the group disbanded to pursue other projects. Eight years later in 2010, Hole was reformed by Love with new members, despite Erlandson's claim that the reformation breached a mutual contract he had with Love. The reformed band released the album Nobody's Daughter, which had originally been conceived as Love's second solo album. In 2013, Love retired the Hole name, releasing new material and touring as a solo artist.
Hole has been noted for being one of the most commercially successful female-fronted rock bands of all time, selling over three million records in the United States alone and having a far-reaching influence on contemporary female artists. Music and feminist scholars have also recognized the band as the most high-profile musical group of the 1990s to discuss gender issues in their songs, due to Love's aggressive and violent lyrical content, which often addressed themes of body image, abuse, and sexual exploitation.
Hole went on to become the most commercially successful female-fronted grunge band in history, selling over 3 million records in the United States between 1991 and 2010. In spite of Love's often polarizing reputation in the media, Hole received consistent critical praise for their output, and was often noted for the predominant feminist commentary found in Love's lyrics, which scholars have credited as "articulating a third-wave feminist consciousness". Love's subversive onstage persona and public image coincided with the band's songs, which expressed "pain, sorrow, and anger, but [an] underlying message of survival, particularly survival in the face of overwhelming circumstances." Music journalist Maria Raha expressed a similar sentiment in regard to the band's significance to third-wave feminism, stating, "Whether you love Courtney [Love] or hate her, Hole was the highest-profile female-fronted band of the '90s to openly and directly sing about feminism."
While Rolling Stone compared the effect of Love's marriage to Kurt Cobain on the band to that of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, they noted that "Love's confrontational stage presence, as well as her gut-wrenching vocals and powerful punk-pop songcraft, made her an alternative-rock star in her own right." Author Nick Wise made a similar comparison in discussion of the band's public image, stating, "Not since Yoko Ono's marriage to John Lennon has a woman's personal life and exploits within the rock arena been so analyzed and dissected." The band has been cited as a major influence on several contemporary artists, including indie singer songwriter Scout Niblett, Brody Dalle of the Distillers and Spinnerette, Sky Ferreira, Lana Del Rey, Tove Lo, Tegan and Sara, and the British rock band Nine Black Alps. The band ranked at #77 of VH1's 100 Greatest Hard Rock Artists.
Someone Else's Bed
Hole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, in someone else's bed
And the silence is so dangerous
It's a terrible sense of dread
So I have another cigarette
And I just try to forget
How did I end up all alone?
Sunday morning when the rain begins to fall
I believe I've seen the end of it all
Sunday morning when the rain begins to fall
I've got the cure for it all
And my dirty little secret
Has a wretched little name
In the filthy morning after
I have walked the walk of shame
Oh, and you'll be the end of me
As I have been the death of you
And I quite enjoy your suffering
Oh, I want to watch the view
Sunday morning when the rain begins to fall
I believe I've seen the end of it all
Sunday morning when the rain begins to fall
I've got the cure for it all
Are you there when I'm ready to top myself
Are you there when I'm all alone
Do you even know why I am suffering
Are you down to your bones?
Are you down to your bones?
Are you down to your bones?
Sunday morning when the rain begins to fall
I believe I've seen the end of it all
Sunday morning when the rain begins to fall
It's the end of the world
I never said I would try for you
I never said I would die for you
I never said I would try for you
I never said I would die for you
"Hole" is an alternative rock group, and the song "Someone Else's Bed" reflects their signature blend of punk and metal. The lyrics of this song describe a feeling of hopelessness and despair as the singer lays alone in an unfamiliar bed. The silence in the room is heavy and overwhelming, and the weight of the shame and guilt for past mistakes is crushing, leading to a sense of impending doom.
The lines "Sunday morning when the rain begins to fall/ I believe I've seen the end of it all" suggest that the singer may be considering self-harm or suicide. However, there's a glimmer of hope too when she says "I've got the cure for it all." The line "And my dirty little secret has a wretched little name" indicates that the singer is grappling with something difficult, maybe a toxic relationship or addiction, that they feel ashamed of. The song vividly portrays the self-destructive tendencies that people often resort to as means of coping with pain and past mistakes.
Throughout the song, the mood is intense and morose. Courtney Love's vocals convey a sense of raw emotion, and the instrumentals are chaotic, with thrashing guitars and pounding drums. Overall, "Someone Else's Bed" is a haunting and powerful reflection on the struggle to cope with one's demons.
