Red Hot Chili Peppers' guitarist John Frusciante’s mother sang backup on their song “Under The Bridge”, along with two of her friends from church. Originally, the song was just a poem that singer Anthony Kiedis wrote about his days as a heroin addict and the loneliness that went with it. The bridge mentioned in the song is a place where he sometimes went to buy drugs and get high. Kiedis didn’t write it for the Chili Peppers - it was a very personal poem that he thought he might use somewhere else. Producer Rick Rubin found it in one of his notebooks and told Anthony that it could be a great song. At first, he didn't want to sing it or share it with anyone, but he eventually came around.
Heroes tells the story of a German couple who are so determined to be together that they meet every day under a gun turret on the Berlin Wall. Bowie, who was living in Berlin at the time, was inspired by an affair between his producer Tony Visconti and backup singer Antonia Maass, who would kiss "by the wall" in front of Bowie as he looked out of the Hansa Studio window. Bowie didn't mention Visconti's role in inspiring this song until 2005, when he was sure that knowledge of this fact would not affect Visconti's own personal situation - he was married at the time of the affair.
Co-written and edited by Brian Eno, Heroes was released in English, German and French. The German version is called "Helden", the French is "Heros" ;
“Fortunate Son” by Creedence Clearwater Revival is an anti-establishment song of defiance and blue-collar pride. It is both anti-Washington and against the Vietnam war, but supports the soldiers fighting there. Group leader John Fogerty was not a fan of Richard Nixon and felt that people close to the president were receiving preferential treatment. Like many CCR fans, most of the soldiers came from the working class, and were there because they didn't have connections who could get them out. It is sung from the perspective of one of these men, who ends up fighting because he is not a "Senator's son". Fogerty and Doug Clifford were both drafted themselves in 1966.
Bitter:Mick Jagger and Keith Richards get composer credits for this song along with Richard Ashcroft. Upset that he lost the royalties, Ashcroft said this was "The best song Jagger and Richards have written in 20 years."
Sweet: With this song as its lead track, Urban Hymns went eight times platinum in the UK and became The Verve's most successful album. It features frequently in best album lists, and was shortlisted for the Mercury Music Prize in 1997.
Symphony: The song samples an obscure orchestral version of "The Last Time", a 1965 song by the Rolling Stones. The Stones had signed a very lopsided contract with Allen Klein - their ex-manager - early in their career, and had to make huge concessions in order to get out of it. Part of the deal gave Klein the publishing rights to all of the Stones' songs through 1969. He made, and continues to make, far more money than anyone else from this song.
Great to hear from you! Things are going great up here. Not much to report at the moment. Just tring to pay bills and play rock n' roll. Keep in contact and cheers!
The lyrics to the song "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley were inspired by a conversation between band members Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo. Danger Mouse talked about how people weren't willing to take an artist seriously unless they seemed to be insane. They then joked about the ways they could make people believe they were crazy. Cee-Lo took that discussion and turned it into the song we know so well today.
Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" was so hot it almost caught on fire during the recording!
The backing track came together quickly, but they spent days overdubbing the vocals in the studio using a 24 track tape machine. By the time they were done, about 120 vocal tracks were layered together.
Recording technology was so taxed by the song's multitracked 'scaramouches' and 'fandangos' that some tapes became virtually transparent from being overdubbed so many times. At one point, the tape reels began to smoke slightly and had almost worn right down to the breaking point because of how much dubbing they had done.
They almost lost one of their greatest hits, and one that would not be easy to reproduce.
