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.
BOY
Willow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He plays guitar
He likes Quentin Tarantino
And really sad songs
Anxiety attacks when he wakes up in the morning
And I can't help the thought he thinks I'm boring
'Cause I come from a cluster of super bright stars
But down on Earth there's so much pain
But way up here we explore galaxies
Hey, mom, I met a boy
He's super sad
But I think that I love him
Is that bad?
Anxiety attacks when I wake up in the morning
Dude, how come? This is wack
Is love just torment?
But they say life has a silver lining
And I say I will find it my way
'Cause down on Earth there's so much pain
And way up here there's galaxies
Hey God, are you there? I need to talk
I feel when love is here and then it's not
We hysterically cry when we wake up in the morning
Could you please tell us why life feels like torment?
In Willow's song Boy, she sings about meeting a boy who plays the guitar and likes Quentin Tarantino, but also likes sad songs and suffers from anxiety attacks every morning. Willow admits that she comes from a cluster of super bright stars, and it may feel scary to reach that far for this boy. Willow acknowledges that on Earth, there's a lot of pain, but up in the galaxies, there's so much to explore. Later in the song, Willow confesses that she loves the boy, but he's super sad, which leads her to question if love is just torment. They both suffer from anxiety attacks and wonder why life feels like such torment. The song ends with Willow asking God to talk to her about why life feels so painful.
Line by Line Meaning
Hey, mom, I met a boy
I have something to tell you about a boy I met
He plays guitar
He is skilled at playing the guitar
He likes Quentin Tarantino
He is a fan of Quentin Tarantino
And really sad songs
He is fond of listening to sad songs
Anxiety attacks when he wakes up in the morning
He often feels anxious in the morning
And I can't help the thought he thinks I'm boring
I am worried that he finds me dull or uninteresting
'Cause I come from a cluster of super bright stars
My background or upbringing is unique and impressive
And probably to him it feels scary to reach that far
He may feel intimidated or afraid to be with someone like me
But down on Earth there's so much pain
Life on Earth can be difficult and painful
But way up here we explore galaxies
Despite the pain on Earth, there are still amazing things to discover
He's super sad
He is very unhappy
But I think that I love him
Despite his sadness, I have feelings of love for him
Is that bad?
I am uncertain whether my love for him is a good thing
Dude, how come? This is wack
Why is he experiencing anxiety attacks in the morning? This situation is frustrating
Is love just torment?
I wonder if love is just a source of suffering
But they say life has a silver lining
I have heard that even in difficult times, there can be positive aspects
And I say I will find it my way
I am determined to find the good in whatever happens
Hey God, are you there? I need to talk
I am reaching out to a higher power for help and guidance
I feel when love is here and then it's not
I am experiencing the highs and lows of love
We hysterically cry when we wake up in the morning
Both myself and the boy are deeply emotional and upset in the mornings
Could you please tell us why life feels like torment?
I am seeking an explanation for why life can feel so painful and difficult
