“Glycerine (song)”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

"Glycerine" is a song by English band Bush. It was released on 14 November 1995 as the fourth single from their debut album, Sixteen Stone.

Composition

Gavin Rossdale wrote the song about his then-girlfriend, model Jasmine Lewis. He wrote it in his London flat, and felt there was an ancient, mystical element to the song as it was coming together. "I was like a conduit," he told Entertainment Weekly in 2017. "Something about it was bigger than anything we were doing."^[2] The song is in the key of F major. The chord progression is Fmaj, Cmaj, Dmaj, and B♭maj throughout the verse with various ornamental embellishments diatonic to the key of F Major, including the Bridge which cycles between the I (F major), IV (B♭ major), and V chord in F Major. The refrain towards the end hangs on the vi (D minor) - IV (B♭ Major) before returning to the recurring progression for the last verse.

The single includes a previously unreleased b-side, "Solomon's Bones", which was recorded on 7 November 1995 at River Studios, London. Engineered by Joel Monger.^[3]

Music video

The music video for "Glycerine" was notable for being shot in a very short time period when the band was on tour in the United States. The video was shot so quickly because the band's visas had expired. Though simple and unadorned, the video was highly acclaimed and won several awards, including the MTV Video Music Award - Viewer's Choice as well nominated for Best Alternative Video at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards. The music video was directed by Kevin Kerslake and shot in Atlanta, Georgia on 2 October 1995.^[4]

Track listing

Commercial performance

Following the album's third single, "Comedown", "Glycerine" shared equal success. Like "Comedown", it reached number one on the Modern Rock Tracks chart for two weeks, in December 1995. It is also the band's biggest pop hit to date, peaking at number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 24 February 1996.^[5] The song won the Viewer's Choice Award at the 1996 MTV Music Video Awards. The song was voted number 5 on the Australian annual music poll Triple J Hottest 100 in 1996.

Chart positions

Live version

Bush performed a new version of "Glycerine" at KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas on 8 December 2012, which featured a surprise appearance from American singer and songwriter, and Gavin Rossdale's then-wife Gwen Stefani.^[7] The single was never released on an album, as both Stefani and Bush were not working on any new material.

Chart performance

After its release, the live version received moderate success in the United States. On the Billboard Alternative Digital Singles chart, "Glycerine" peaked at number 16, whereas on the Billboard Rock Digital Singles, it peaked at number 22.
