MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

On this date, July 17th, but back in 1995,

Hole released a song connected to someone

we talked about just 4 days ago.

The song: “Violet.”

(Music Cut #2)

“Violet” doesn’t just open

the album: Live Through This –

It kicks down the door.

And Courtney Love –

doesn’t really sound like she’s singing about heartbreak.

Instead, she sounds like she’s putting a curse on it.

(Music Cut #3)

When Hole performed the song on Later with Jools Holland,

Love introduced it as being about a jerk.

Most people took that as Billy Corgan.

But years later, she clarified:

“Violet” was not just about him…

but, other jerks, too, I guess.

And they never want it again.” – Hole
