Together they were described as "so unbelievably tight that they sound as though they are one masterful musician, playing two guitars, with four arms and one almighty voice".
More on South African Plush: On September 18 2005, after a gig that formed part of their national tour for A Few Blinding Views, Chas Smit was killed when he was hit by a speeding car. Rory was quoted by the Daily News as saying, "He was like a brother to me. I am not sure what the future holds for me, or for the band. I will have to think about it and what Chas would have wanted."
Memorial services took place in Pietermaritzburg, Cape Town and London.
After a 6 month sabbatical and reflection period, Rory has found the need to continue the musical journey he started over a decade ago. And so has begun his new career, alongside Ben Peters a former drummer with Plush performing as Rory Eliot and continuing with the promotion of both his albums, This charismatic duo have stunned crowds with their rhythmic cohesion and perform both old Plush favourites and Rorys latest compositions to roaring approval. Rorys successful acting career has lent itself to his superb showmanship with his audiences and he has toured nationally and internationally with theatre productions. Rory, again with Ben, is campaigning for SADD (South Africans Against Drunk Driving) with Brenda Voss of Wandering Star Projects and they are touring the country in an effort to educate students of the perils of drinking and driving.

Plush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It seems that everything I do, is pointless
Cause I've been dreaming of becoming a rock star
Or somebody special
Cause I'm tired of being nothing
When nobody knows me
And I said I said
No Iris, Iris, Iris my mind is flipping
Cause I'm dreaming
Yes I'm dreaming
And then I wake up
And everything is quiet
I kinda like it like this, in the morning
No everything is at peace, in the morning
Cause the sun reveals its plasma across the ocean
And the waves break down in that harped emotion
No I said I said
Iris, Iris, Iris I've gone tripping
No Iris, Iris, Iris my mind is flipping
Cause I'm dreaming
Yes I'm dreaming
And then I wake up
And everything is quiet
I kinda like it like this, in the morning
No everything is at peace, in the morning
In the morning
In the morning
Yeah
The lyrics to Plush's song "Iris" depict a sense of dissatisfaction and longing for something more in life. The singer finds themselves lying there for hours, feeling as though everything they do is pointless. They dream of becoming a rock star or someone special, tired of feeling like they are nothing and nobody knows them. The repetition of the name "Iris" suggests that this person represents some kind of escape or fantasy for the singer. They feel as though they are "tripping" or losing their grip on reality, while their mind is flipping between their dreams and the harsh reality they wake up to. However, there is a sense of tranquility and peace in the morning, when everything is quiet and the sun rises. This moment in the morning brings a feeling of contentment, even if it is just temporary.
Line by Line Meaning
Well I've been lying here, for hours
I have been lying still and inactive for a long time.
It seems that everything I do, is pointless
All my actions feel meaningless and without purpose.
Cause I've been dreaming of becoming a rock star
I have fantasized about achieving fame as a musician.
Or somebody special
Or gaining recognition and significance in a unique way.
Cause I'm tired of being nothing
Because I am weary of feeling insignificant or unnoticed.
When nobody knows me
When I am unrecognized and unfamiliar to others.
And I said I said
And I repeated to myself
Iris, Iris, Iris I've gone tripping
Iris, Iris, Iris, I have entered a state of altered consciousness.
No Iris, Iris, Iris my mind is flipping
No, Iris, Iris, Iris, my thoughts are rapidly changing and fluctuating.
Cause I'm dreaming
Because I am indulging in imaginative thoughts or desires.
Yes I'm dreaming
Indeed, I am engaged in a dream-like state.
And then I wake up
And then I become conscious and alert again
And everything is quiet
And there is peacefulness and stillness all around
I kinda like it like this, in the morning
I somewhat enjoy this tranquil atmosphere during the early hours of the day
No everything is at peace, in the morning
Everything is in a state of harmony and calmness during the morning
Cause the sun reveals its plasma across the ocean
Because the sun's energy illuminates and spreads across the vastness of the sea
And the waves break down in that harped emotion
And the waves crash with powerful and intense feelings
In the morning
During the early hours of the day
Yeah
Yes
