1) Sixto Diaz Rodrig… Read Full Bio ↴At least five artists share the name Rodriguez.
1) Sixto Diaz Rodriguez (also known as Rodriguez or as Jesus Rodriguez) (born in Detroit, MI, on 10 July 1942; died 8 August 2023) was an American folk singer-songwriter. He was named 'Sixto' (pronounced seex-toe) because he was the sixth child in his family. Rodriguez's parents were middle-class immigrants from Mexico, who left in the 1920s. In most of his songs he takes a political stance on the cruelties facing the inner city poor.
In 1967 (under the name Rod Riguez) he released the single "I'll Slip Away" through the small label Impact. He did not produce anything for another three years until he was signed to Sussex Records; an offshoot of the Buddah label. It was after the move to Sussex that he changed his professional name to just Rodriguez. Rodriguez recorded two albums with SussexโCold Fact in 1970, and Coming from Reality in 1971. But after mixed reviews and low album sales he was dropped from the label, which later folded in 1975.
After failing to make an impact in America, he gave up his career as a musician. However, although he was relatively unknown in his home country by the mid 70s, his albums were starting to gain airplay in countries like South Africa, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), New Zealand and Australia.
After imported copies of his Sussex albums ran dry, an Australian record label, Blue Goose Music, bought the Australian rights to his back catalogue in the mid 70s. The label released his two studio albums plus a compilation album At His Best (featuring unreleased recordings from 1976 "Can't Get Away", "I'll Slip Away" (a re-recording of his first single), and "Street Boy"). Unbeknownst to Rodriguez, it went platinum in South Africa, where he achieved cult status.
With a new buzz around Rodriguez, in 1979 he toured Australia with the Mark Gillespie Band as support. Two shows from the tour were later released on the Australian only album Aliveโthe title being a play on the rumors caused by his public obscurity that Rodriguez had died years ago. After the '79 tour he returned to Australia for a final tour in 1981 with Midnight Oil before quietly slipping back into normal life.
The 2012 Sundance Film Festival hosted the premiere of Searching for Sugar Man, from Swedish director Malik Bendjelloul, detailing the efforts by two fans to see if his rumored death was true - and if not, to discover what had become of him. The Simon Chinn and John Battsek produced documentary went on to win the World Cinema Special Jury Prize and the Audience Award, World Cinema Documentary. The film opens in NY and LA on July 27, 2012.
2) Rodriguez was a band which originated in San Luis Obispo, California. Formed in 1991 by bassist/vocalist Kyle Field (aka Little Wings) and guitarist/vocalist Matt Ward (aka M. Ward), drummer Mike Funk joined in 1993. Their only album to date, Swing Like A Metronome, released in 2000, was recorded by Grandaddy's Jason Lytle and featured songs written between 1992 and 1997. After Rodriguez disbanded, both songwriters went on to illustrious solo careers.
3) Rodriguez is a Garage Punk-Rock Band from Austria. More info at http://www.rodriguez.at

It's My Life
Rodriguez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even if it's coming
Stop running from it
Even if it's coming
Stop running from it
Even if it's just my love
My love, please
My love now
Even if it's just my love
My love now
Stop running from it
Even if it's just my love
My love now
I see pictures on the wall
You can stay or you will follow
You can't buy love
I'm looking to find love
I'm looking for my heart, please
Stop running from it
Even if it's just my love
My love now
Stop running from it
Even if it's just my love
My love please
Stop running from my love
My love now
Even if it's just my love
My love now
Stop running from it
Even if it's just my love
My love now
You got my love now
You got my love now
Stop running from it
Even if it's just my love
My love now
When you turned and walked away
I can't find the words to say
Sometimes
I'm losing my mind
Stop running from it
Even if it's just my love
My love now
Stop running from it
Even if it's just my love
My love please
Stop running from my love
My love now
Even if it's just my love
My love now
Stop running from it
Even if it's just my love
My love now
The lyrics to "It's My Life" by Rodriguez seem to address the issue of someone running away from love, and the singer is imploring them to stop and accept the love that is being offered to them. The repeated refrain of "Stop running from it, even if it's just my love" emphasizes the urgency and importance of this message. The singer is clearly very invested in this person and doesn't want them to continue to avoid their feelings.
The line "You can't buy love" suggests that the person may have been trying to find love in other ways, perhaps through material possessions or other superficial means. The singer, on the other hand, is in search of a deeper, more meaningful connection. He is not simply looking for someone to be with, but rather for someone to share their heart with.
The lines "When you turned and walked away / I can't find the words to say / Sometimes I'm losing my mind" add a sense of vulnerability to the song. Even though the singer is pleading with this person to stop running from love, he is also admitting his own struggles with expressing his emotions.
Overall, "It's My Life" is a powerful plea for someone to stop running away from love, even if it's just the love being offered by the singer. It's a reminder that love is worth fighting for, and that true happiness can be found when we open our hearts and embrace the love that is offered to us.

This is really good and looks like a great budget! I hope bahja signs with a major because her music is great but underrated. I do think omg girls should come back because they are stronger together, I wanna know the story why it was never a album with them & why they got dropped they had a good fan base.
