1. Willow Camille Reign Smith (born October 31, 2000 in Los Angeles, United States) is an American child actress and singer who is the daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. She made her acting debut in 2007 in the film I Am Legend, and was most successful in the film Kit Kittredge: An American Girl where she won the Young artist award for Best Performance in a Feature Film. Apart from her acting she launched a music career in the fall of 2010 with the release of her debut single “Whip My Hair” and signing to Jay-Z’s record label Roc Nation. Willow has released 4 studio albums; her debut, ARDIPITHECUS released in 2015, The 1st released in 2017, WILLOW released in 2019 and lately I feel EVERYTHING released in 2021. She is also part of THE ANXIETY, a collaborative project with Tyler Cole. The projects debut album, THE ANXIETY, was released in 2020.
2. Willow was a four piece instrumental group from Newnan, GA.
Kyle Coleman-Drums/Fast Driving, Matt McClellan-Bass/Keys/Jingle Bells, Tanner Merritt-Guitar/Funny Faces & Rob Sepanski-Mandolin/Violin/Noise
3. Willow is a young Belgian indie rock band that started in 2007. They create solid, semi-danceable, catchy popsongs with hints of new wave. In their short existence Willow won several rockcontests, with most notably Rockvonk 2009. In 2010 they became 3rd in Humo’s Rock Rally and won the KBC public’s choice award. They are known for their energetic live performance and their refreshing take on music history while still being capable of maintaining their own sound.
4. Willow is a self-taught singer/songwriter, who, in 1992 put down her Bible and picked up a pawn shop guitar. Three chords later, the songs came flowing out. Judging from the fact that she had no subsequent musical experience, one could say she’s a bit of a preternatural chanteuse. Like post-Christian rocker contemporaries, Alice Cooper and Marilyn Manson, Willow’s papa is a preacher man and prior to her fateful leap, she was an enrollee at Multnomah School of the Bible in Portland Oregon. The result of her departure from conservative religion…her musical renderings are of an evolution of a spiritual nature - an earthly, poetic dance in the dark. For those familiar with the fire and brimstone of artist Nick Cave, Willow may be the polar sweet angel of darkness, redemption and desire.
5. Willow was a rock-band from The Hague, The Netherlands. The band was formed by Marlein Heskes-Duarte and Rui Duarte. They’ve had multiple guitar players in the 6 years they made music. The music also changed everytime a new guitar player entered the band. Started out as an alternative rock band, they soon changed their sound to a more punk-rock sound, and in the last year added a nu-metal vibe to their sound.
Willow had some succes in their hometown and surroundings, having played more than a 100 shows, including the Paard van Troje, Plein Open festival, HOT festival and recorded a videoclip in the local tv-studio “TV West” for the song Spinning Around.
The Duarte’s have recently started a new band called Man-Made Madness, which also includes ex-Willow guitar-player Jordy Licht.
6. Willow is a math rock trio from Providence, Rhode Island, United States. Their debut EP, "Roanoke" was issued in 2012.
7. Sophie Wilson AKA Willow first made her introduction in 2014 when her debut Feel Me caused a stir when ambient techno veteran Move D included it on his Fabric 74 mix. A year later, the song finally received a proper release on Workshop's compilation EP Workshop 21 – the sub-heavy house tune with an earworm R&B vocal was a highlight on the LP which was number 6 in Resident Advisor tracks of 2015.
Rewind two years to the start of an on-going residency in Nottingham for 808, the chance to play alongside Anton Zap, Fred P, Tama Sumo and of course Move D, have shaped and crafted her tastes and DJ style which ranges from house to techno and all that falls in-between.
8. German hard rock band, 1990s. Frank Tauscher - vocals Stefan Iburg - guitar Matthias Franke - guitar/keyboards Jens Beckmann - bass Ralf Striewski - drums.

Willow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take the money, take the fame
All I want is truth
You talk their language, play their games
Act as they want to look at you, look at you!
Who are you, who are you?
The density in rain
The thoughts you think just 'cause you pain
And don't make you more pretty
What to do? Woe is you
What to do? Who are you?
You criticize behind those eyes
No hatred you're just jealous
Your subconscious is not conscious
To poison your ingestin'
Woe is you, who are you?
It's your choice, just make the move
Burning bridges, burning bridges
Posies all fall down
Now consciousness is all there is
And nothingness as well
What are we? What to see?
My third eye is opening
I'm burning bridges, burning bridges
Posies all fall down
Our consciousness is all that is
But nothingness is well, what are we?
And who are you? Did we just go
Down the drain?
And I just go with my flow
'Cause rollin' circles, rollin' circles, rollin' circles
The pavement seems too cold
And now my feet turn purple
(Hey, Willow? What?)
Take the money, take the fame
All I want is truth
You talk their language play their games
Did you forget about, who you were, in the stars
Let's go back home, this earth is hard
This earth is all up in the stars
The Ursa's hungry he's, just lookin'
For a brother to get started
Burning bridges, burning bridges
We just fallin' down
Our consciousness is nothingness
And nothingness is well
Who are you?
Who am I? Who am I?
Where is me? Where is I?
There's no "I", it's just all
In "8," Willow Smith is calling out the music industry and encourages individuals to remain true to themselves. The first verse suggests that many people in the industry are motivated by money and fame, but the singer desires truth instead. The second verse describes someone wandering aimlessly in the rain, contemplating their pain and who they are. The next verse speaks to jealousy and criticizing others, which derives from an inner subconscious that can poison an individual’s thoughts. However, it is their choice to change their mindset. Willow then talks about consciousness and nothingness, and the importance of understanding one’s self. The song ends with the singer suggesting a return to their roots among the stars, where they recognize their place in the universe.
