About this song

  • "Comedown" is a song by British rock band Bush, released in August 1995 as the third single from their debut album, Sixteen Stone. Gavin Rossdale wrote the song about an ex-girlfriend, stating, "It was written in the context of half regret, half celebration and just being objective about the situation of coming down from that high and dealing with those intense emotions." "Comedown" remains one of the band's most commercially successful songs, reaching number one on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart and number two on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in late 1995. The song also gave Bush their first American top 40 hit, reaching number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 4 November 1995. The song appeared in the video game Guitar Hero 5 in addition to Rock Band 3 as downloadable content. The song appeared in the TV show Animal Kingdom. Along with "Machinehead", "Comedown" appears in the 1996 film Fear. It can be heard over Nicole's second date with David, after he picks her up from school to play billiards. Along with "Glycerine", the band performed the song on Saturday Night Live in 1995. Pro wrestler Chris Kanyon used an instrumental edit of the song in the last days of World Championship Wrestling in 2001. In 2006, CBC used the song in their closing montage of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. . User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply. — lastfm
