1) Ruby was the project of UK vocalist Lesley Rankine and US composer/producer Mark Walk. Their repertory of styles expanded across electronic, trip hop, noise, and industrial. The band Ruby was named as such because Rankine and Walk both have a grandmother named Ruby.
Rankine began her music career as frontwoman to London-based indie punk band Silverfish. When the band split up in 1993, Rankine moved to Seattle. There she joined forces with producer Mark Walk, with whom she worked on material for industrial group Pigface, to produce an electronic album which echoed the downtempo styles, especially trip hop, more than her noise background; the album, Salt peter, was released in 1995, with a remix album, Salt peter Remixed: Revenge, the sweetest fruit., appearing in 1996.
Lesley returned to her native Scotland to work on the second Ruby album, Short Staffed at the Gene Pool. This saw her release material on a new UK label, Wichita Recordings, as well as Thirsty Ear in the US in 2001. The song Grace was mixed by several producers, including Mira Calix of Warp Records. This was followed by another remix album, Altered and Proud: The Short-Staffed Remixes, later that year. She has since taken a break from recording, returning to her home country.
2) Ruby (Ruben de Haan) began his activity as a noise/breakcore artist and DJ in 1988. He released on some netlabels: Completely Gone recordings, N.Q.A. and Takkeherrie recordings. He is also a member of the improv noise band R.R.
3)Rania Hussein Mohammed Tawfik[1] (Arabic: Ψ±Ψ§ΩΩΨ§ ΨΨ³ΩΩβ) (born October 8, 1981), known as Ruby (Arabic: Ψ±ΩΨ¨Ωβ, sometimes transliterated as Roubi), is an Egyptian singer and actress who rose to fame with her debut single "Enta Aref Leih" ("Do You Know Why?").
Ruby started her career as a model when Marcel Romanoff, the Polish singer, spotted her in front of the American University in Cairo.[citation needed] Romanoff chose Ruby to appear in his music video. She later appeared in the music video of his song "Don't Make Me Cry". Ruby previously studied Law at Bani Suwayf University.
Ruby later worked in television commercials for several products, including Pringles, Sparkle, and Alo. She then worked with Egyptian film director Youssef Chahine in the film Sekoot Hansawwar (2001), in which she played the role of a wealthy girl who falls in love with her driver. Youssef Chahine is reportedly responsible for the switch to her stage name, Ruby. She also appeared in the comedy Film Thakafy in a minor role as a schoolgirl.
Musical career
The first music video of her debut single "Enta Aref Leih" (2003), was directed by Sherif Sabri and was a hit on most satellite music stations in the Middle East during the summer of 2003. Ruby was criticized by the media for appearing in the provocative costume of a belly dancer in the song's music video. Despite this criticism, the successful single brought Ruby into the limelight.[2] The song was composed by the Egyptian musician Mohammad Rahim.
Ruby's second video was released in early 2004. Titled "Leih Beydary Kedah" and directed by Sherif Sabri, the video again also featured provocative scenes. The third music video of the song "El Gharaam (Koll Amma A'ollo Ah)" was accompanied by clips from Ruby's movie, Saba' Wara'aat Kotcheena (7 Playing Cards). The film was banned by the governments of Egypt, Syria and many other Arabic countries due to its usage of erotic themes. The film was directed and produced by Sherif Sabri in his first. Two music videos for the songs "Ana Omry Mastaneat Hadd" and "Ghawy" were released later.
"Mosh Hate'dar" is her the first single from her second album released in March 2007, titled Meshit Wara Ehsasy. The music video of "Mosh Hate'dar" surprised the audience due it less provocative presentation. The second single, "Mishet Wara Ehsassi", featured her performing in Giza, in front of the Pyramids and Sphinx.
Ruby has been questioned in numerous interviews about her provocative style and suggestive moves, to which she responded that she does not consider herself to be a sex symbol. She was also rumoured to be married to her manager, Sherif Sabri, but they have both denied the rumour.
In 2008 Ruby starred in the high-grossing Egyptian action film "The Promise" (Al-Wa3d). The film contains an extended sex scene in which Ruby is seen partially nude, which raised eyebrows.

Ruby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The world knows it needs you
I should have seen this coming
This piece of me that's humming
Colors of my house are red and wound and sweat and hollow
This is
Such an opportunity for me
And the world wants to feed you
I'd jump just to please you
And that is why
I should have seen this coming
This piece of me that's humming
Colors of my house are grip and grin and sweat and wallow
This is
Such an opportunity for me
And a man wants to meet you
He's on your side
He knows how to feed you
And so he tries
A cold slap to the head
From the one who wants to steal my bread
And the box inside me hums
For the one who wants to feed my love
And the box is humming soft and low
So definite the echo
Now it feels so low
Now it feels so low
Now you feel so low
Now you feel so low
This is
Such an opportunity for me
The lyrics of Ruby's song "This is" feature a speaker reflecting on a missed opportunity to connect with someone, possibly a love interest or an artist. The world is said to beg to meet this person, and the singer realizes they should have seen this coming, as a part of them is "humming" in response. The colors of their house are described as being associated with uncomfortable emotions like "wound," "sweat," and "hollow." The singer feels that it would have been such an opportunity to be with this person, and that the world wants to "feed" them.
Later in the song, a man is referenced as wanting to meet the person in question, and he is described as being on their side and knowing how to "feed" them. However, he is also said to be a threat to the singer's own interests, as he wants to "steal [their] bread." This conflict is described as causing a "box inside [the singer]" to hum, and the echo of this sound is said to feel "low." Despite the complicated emotions at play, the singer still sees the situation as an opportunity for themselves.
Overall, "This is" by Ruby is an introspective song about unfulfilled desires and missed connections. The singer recognizes the potential in a person they did not pursue, but also acknowledges the threat posed by someone else who wants them. The vivid imagery of colors and emotions creates a sense of melancholy, but the repetition of the phrase "such an opportunity for me" suggests that the singer still believes they can derive some benefit from the situation.

The world begs to meet you
The world eagerly desires to get to know you
The world knows it needs you
The world understands that it requires you
I should have seen this coming
I should have predicted this situation
This piece of me that's humming
This part of me that's vibrating with energy
Colors of my house are red and wound and sweat and hollow
My surroundings are full of strong emotions and exhaustion
This is
This situation represents something important
Such an opportunity for me
This is a great chance for me to succeed
And the world wants to feed you
The world aims to provide you with what you need
It's on your side
You have the support of the world
I'd jump just to please you
I would do anything to make you happy
And that is why
That explains why
Colors of my house are grip and grin and sweat and wallow
My environment is dominated by tension, superficiality, hard work, and despair
And a man wants to meet you
There is a person who wishes to encounter you
He's on your side
He is supportive of you
He knows how to feed you
He is aware of how to satisfy your needs
And so he tries
And therefore he makes an effort
A cold slap to the head
A harsh and sudden reminder
From the one who wants to steal my bread
From the individual who is attempting to take what belongs to me
And the box inside me hums
There is a part of me that resonates with energy
For the one who wants to feed my love
For the individual who intends to nourish my affection
And the box is humming soft and low
And that part of me is vibrating with a soothing, gentle sound
So definite the echo
The reverberation is very clear
Now it feels so low
Now I feel disheartened
Now it feels so low
Now it feels very bleak
Now you feel so low
Now you feel dejected
Now you feel so low
Now you feel discouraged
This is
This represents something important
Such an opportunity for me
This is a great chance for me to succeed
