1. Unicorn from the United Kingdom played country and folk rock. They broke up in 1977. Several of the bands album were produced by (and featured contributions by) David Gilmour of Pink Floyd.
2. Unicorn was a progressive melodic rock band from Sweden, fronted by Dan Swanö (Bloodbath, Edge of Sanity, Nightingale). They released two full-length albums (Emotional Wasteland and Ever Since), two EPs (After Before and The Weirdest of Tales), and two demos (A Collection of Worlds I and A Collection of Worlds II).
The band's style was a far cry from the brutal death metal Swano would later become known for. (Swano formed Unicorn as a young teen.) Unicorn is a very melodic, light progressive band. Nightingale comes closest to their style, though even Nightingale is much heavier.
Swano is currently working on a new project called Second Sky. He says Second Sky is the new Unicorn. An album is expected in 2009.
3. Unicorn (ユニコーン) is a Japanese band fronted by Okuda Tamio(奥田民生), active in the 80s and early 90s. During that time the band released eight albums and nine singles. The band reunited in 2009.
12. UNICORN from the U.S. plays noise drone electronics. W. T. Nelson formerly of Bastard Noise (risen from the ashes of Man Is the Bastard) and Sleestak has released a split CD with noise artist 2673, a split CD with Bastard Noise, and a full-length titled "Playing with Light". Less harsh and more melodic than previous projects.
15. Unicorn is a five-member girl group formed for Girls Planet 999's Creation Mission. The group consists of K-Group's Kang Ye Seo (강예서), Kim Bo Ra (김보라) and Kim Chae Hyun (김채현), C-Group's Huang Xing Qiao (黄星侨), and J-Group's Kawaguchi Yurina (川口ゆりな). Together, the team performed and released "Utopia".
16. Unicorn ( 유니콘 ) was a five member South-Korean group under Cartoon Blue Company. Produced by R&B singer Kim Jo Han, they debuted on September 3, 2015 with the mini-album UNICORN 'Once Upon A Time'. The group disbanded in September 2017. The group consisted of Rumi, Yujin, Gayoung, Sally and Winnie (who had left the group before their disband). Sally is now a soloist under the name Soseo and Gayoung is now a soloist under the name Mauve with the debut single My Cat.
17. Unicorn is led by Jenna Hardie, who has previously fronted other Perth bands like The Government and Gold Suns. Unicorn has released two singles so far, Cats and Twisted.
Blue Pine Trees
Unicorn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fat fossil, thin cabaret
Gay turnip dance
Is my answer to you all
Sunflower, P.O. Tower, mole in your soup
Sharp label, green table green
Blue pine tree, blue nose
High turtle, full marble, green gangrene
Tight garter, white Terylene
Snake sneaky snake
Is my answer to you all
Sunflower, P.O. Tower, mole in your soup
Sharp label, green table green
Blue pine tree, blue nose
Does it make any sense to you?
The lyrics of Unicorn's song "Blue Pine Trees" are filled with nonsensical phrases and imagery, leaving the listener with a sense of confusion and disorientation. The song is structured as a series of nonsense phrases, which are arranged in pairs and repeated twice in each verse. The first pair of phrases in each verse references natural elements (wide water, sunflower, high turtle), while the second pair references man-made objects (slight waiter, P.O. Tower, full marble). The third line of each verse seems to be a non sequitur, with phrases like "gay turnip dance" or "snake sneaky snake" appearing out of nowhere. The chorus repeats the same nonsensical phrases but adds "blue pine tree, blue nose" to the mix.
It's unclear what the purpose of the lyrics is, but the song achieves a dream-like quality through its use of disjointed phrases and non-sequiturs. The strange combinations of words and images create a sense of confusion and absurdity that feels both comedic and deeply surreal. The song seems to be an exercise in word-play and free association, rather than a coherent narrative or message.
