1) Ruth is a French new wave band formed in the early 1980s by Thierry Müller. The group's lone album, "Polaroïd/Roman/Photo", was released in 1985. It sold just 50 copies and was relegated to obscurity until the track “Polaroïd/Roman/Photo” started appearing on bootlegs and compilations in the early 2000s, slowly becoming the cult synthpop classic it is nowadays. Ruth are a shining light from an oft forgotten music scene that is becoming increasingly influential today.
Ruth was the brainchild of Thierry Müller, a photographer and graphic artist from Paris who drew his inspiration from bands and artists like Brian Eno, Stockhausen, Pere Ubu, Neu, Velvet Underground and Kraftwerk. The line-up of Ruth was collaborative and fluid, brass mingles with prototype drum machines, and squalling experimentation sits alongside sultry French girls across 40 minutes of edgy pop innovation that sounds remarkably undated alongside contemporary pop music.
In 2012 Ruth came back with "Far From Paradise", a collaborative album with Italian electronic artist Mushy.
2) Ruth is a Bulgarian soul/jazz singer. For Ruth Koleva, music isn't just a hobby, it's her way of life. She starts traveling around the world at the age of 9, having her first official stage appearance in Thailand. At 15, she flies to New York to enchant Joe Fletcher, a top manager and concert promoter who has worked with a wide range of musicians (BB King, James Brown, Tori Amos, Black Eyed Peas), the result of which is singing up with him and recording her first original demo with Martin Briley, who is famous for successfully producing, writing and co-writing songs for gold record artists such as *NSYNC, Elton John, Daughtry and Marc Anthony. In 2007, Ruth is chosen among hundreds of candidates to spend five months in the capital of show business, Los Angeles, training at the Hollywood Pop Academy where she performs in front of the soul music pioneer Stevie Wonder. Meanwhile, she meets Carlos Neal from Universal Music and records four tracks which are to be released later this year. Loaded with experience and energy for new musical challenges, she joins the hip hop label ILLmate . Ruth's one-of-a-kind voice has also brought her into duet performances, on- stage with Bobby McFerrin, and dub legend Mad Professor, who admits to being fascinated by her ability to experiment fluidly with several musical idioms at only 17 years of age.
3) Ruth is an American Christian rock band. New Tooth and Nail rock band Ruth has "Cross(ed) the Line" of being typical with their astonishing debut album Secondhand Dreaming. Originating from the city of Vancouver, WA the band is lead by Dustin Ruth (Vocals / Guitar) and consists of Justin Schiermeister (Bass), Roomie Reid (Drums), and Nicholas Wiinikka (Guitar). Ruth’s sound is somewhere between Switchfoot and Lifehouse with vocal similarities to The Fray, Switchfoot and Everyday Sunday.
4) Ruth was a mid-1990s, London-based Britpop band who released a string of moderately successful singles and one full-length, "Harrison," in 1999. In 2001 the band changed their name to The 45s and released two more singles and one more full-length before their split in 2002. That same year, frontman Matt Hales then went on to form the far more commercially successful Aqualung, who would have a string of hits in both the U.K. and U.S. in the mid-2000s.
5) Ruth is an African-American singer who recorded two Spanish language albums of Tejano music.
6) Ruth is a very obscure British folk-rock singer with only one known recording to her name, the fabulously poignant '87 Sundays', a lament from a London girl left pregnant by a wastrel. The song can be found on the Cherry Red compilation, 'Dream Babes Volume 5'. No biographical information at all is known about the singer.
My One and Only
Ruth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seems like life is just a circle going on
Some people say go and reach your goals
And become successful
But didn't know that they still miss the purpose for which God made them
They chase money and fame
They count houses and cars
If we don't have God in our lives?
I know that He gives purpose to my life
He is the only reason I'm alive
Know that He will give meaning to your life
Jesus is the only reason I'm alive
Don't get distracted with what the world offers
Because I've been at the top and there's nothing there
Wasting life on things on earth that will soon fade
So what really is the purpose of this life?
Some people say it depends on what makes you happy
Some people say it depends on what you wanted to be
They fight for glory and crown
They fight to be number one
But what's next after we die
If we don't live our lives for God
I know that He gives purpose to my life
He is the only reason I'm alive
Know that He will give meaning to your life
Jesus is the only reason I'm alive
Without God, life makes no sense
In "My One and Only," Ruth explores the concept of the purpose of life and emphasizes the importance of finding meaning through a relationship with God. The song starts by questioning the purpose of existence in this world and highlighting the repetitive nature of life. The lyrics suggest that some people may believe that achieving success and acquiring money and fame will bring them purpose, but Ruth argues that they are missing the true reason for their creation by God.
The chorus emphasizes Ruth's personal conviction that her life has purpose because of her faith. She asserts that Jesus is the sole reason for her existence and that He gives her life meaning. The lyrics urge listeners not to be lured and distracted by the worldly offerings, as they ultimately lead to emptiness and fade away. Ruth shares her personal experience of being at the top and realizing that there is nothing significant there.
The song continues to highlight the different viewpoints on the purpose of life. Some may believe that happiness determines purpose, while others may think it depends on one's chosen profession or desired achievements. However, the lyrics question the significance of these pursuits if they are not aligned with living a life for God.
The song concludes with a powerful statement that life makes no sense without God. Ruth emphasizes the importance of a spiritual connection and living for a higher purpose, suggesting that all other pursuits are ultimately empty and unsatisfying.
