(1) IVY is a New York City band comprised of a trio of musicians - Adam Schlesinger, Dominique Durand and Andy Chase.

Formed in 1990, IVY gained wider recognition in 2003/2004 for their song "Worry About You" which has been used as the theme song of the Stephen King series Kingdom Hospital and in the pilot episode of the television mini-series The 4400.

IVY produced the score for the movie Shallow Hal (2001) and their song "Edge of the Ocean" was used in the movie. Their music has been featured in other movies, including There's Something About Mary, Orange County and television series, including an episode of Roswell and the song "Worry About You" was used as the themesong for Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital. In 2005, "Edge of the Ocean" was also used on Grey's Anatomy on the episode called, "Shake Your Groove Thing". "Edge of the Ocean" has also been featured twice on the UPN series Veronica Mars, in episodes Meet John Smith and Rat Saw God; and in the trailer for the movie "Before Sunset". The song "Nothing but the sky" was also used on the final episode of a TV series named "LAX".

Schlesinger is also in the band Fountains of Wayne.

(3) Ivy (아이비) (born 박은혜 (Park Eunhye), November 7, 1983) is a Korean pop singer who debuted in 2005 with the album Vol. 1 - My Sweet and Free Day. Although she has a strong voice, the record company chose the "sexy" route by releasing "오늘밤 일 (What Happened Tonight) as her first single. Since the song was about her cheating on her boyfriend with a one night stand, it was accompanied by a suggestive video. The official second single "A ha.." continued this sexy style, and it was popular enough to be parodied by female comedienne Park Kyung Rim; however, her record company also released "바본가봐" (I Am A Fool), a ballad that gave Ivy a reprieve from her sexy image and a chance showcasing her powerful voice. This song was mostly promoted on the MBC music show Music Camp, known for its "live performances only" policy; "A ha.." was performed on the other shows. The album was not a breakout hit, but consistent sales allowed it to place 48th for the year[1], thanks due to the popularity of her singles and heavy promotion on the various music shows. Although inactive for most of 2006, she has collaborated with Shinhwa for their album State Of The Art on the track "Highway Star".

She has been educated at Dongdeok Women's University.

On February 14, 2007, Ivy's second album, Vol. 2 - A Sweet Moment, was released.
Her first leading title, "유혹의 소나타 (Sonata of Temptation)," caused immense controversy after its PV was supposedly "recreating" a fight scene between Tifa and Loz from Final Fantasy VII Advent Children, apparently without the proper consent from Square Enix. The music video features a disclaimer stating that the scene is a recreation, but there is was no official information on whether or not this was properly cleared.

(5) a slam francophone poet from Canada

(6) Ivy is the composer of a number of piano compositions and mood poems as well as several songs in the visual novel "May Sky"(Gogatsu no Sora in Japanese). http://www.muzie.ne.jp/artist/a030605/

(8) IVY comes to life in 2019 as the new project of Rita Sampaio. Her debut album Over and Out, can be described as autobiographical and extremely intimate.

IVY’s music is dark, introspective and intimate. Closed inside a world that not even herself can reach anymore, as a representation of a cycle that’s now closed, life in movement and transformation.

Blame it on Yourself
Ivy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw you walk into the store
Just as I was leaving.
I don't know why it should matter.
It's history repeating.
I heard my name ring out through the air.
I jumped onto the last bus.
I'm looking back, you're fixing your hair.
There's nothing left between us.

Blame it on, blame it on yourself.
Blame it on, blame it on yourself.

Through the streets and down the hill.
I stared out the window.
Underneath I started to feel
Something had finally let go.
Round the corner and to the end.
I put my feet on the pavement.
And for a moment I'm back again
Remembering what you once meant.

Blame it on, blame it on yourself.
Blame it on, blame it on yourself.
Blame it on, blame it on yourself.
Blame it on, blame it on yourself.

I wonder how it's gonna feel
To mean nothing more to anyone.

Round the corner and to the end.
I put my feet on the pavement.
And for a moment I'm back again
Remembering what you once meant.

Blame it on, blame it on yourself.
Blame it on, blame it on yourself.

Blame it on, blame it on yourself.
Blame it on, blame it on yourself.

Overall Meaning

In Ivy's song "Blame It On Yourself", the singer seems to be reflecting on a past relationship and questioning their own role in the end of it. They describe seeing their ex-lover in a store as they were leaving and feeling like history was repeating itself. Despite their attempt to distance themselves, they still hear their name called out and rush onto a bus. As they look back, the ex-lover is simply fixing their hair and there is nothing left between them.

The singer then goes on a walk and as they physically move away from the past, they start to feel a sense of release. They remember what the ex-lover once meant to them but also question how it will feel to mean nothing to anyone in the future. The repetition of the phrase "blame it on yourself" throughout the song seems to convey a sense of self-blame and a desire to take responsibility for the end of the relationship.

I witnessed you entering the store

Just as I was leaving.
At that precise moment, I was departing

Events from the past are reoccurring

I perceived my name being called out loudly

I jumped onto the last bus.
I managed to board the final bus

I'm looking back, you're fixing your hair.
As I glance, you are arranging your hair
