About this song
- "Glycerine" is a song by English rock band Bush. It was released to radio in November 1995 as the fourth single from their debut album, Sixteen Stone and then released commercially in January 1996. "Glycerine" was a hit single throughout Europe, Australia and North America and remains a signature song for the band. Gavin Rossdale wrote the song in 1993, about his then-girlfriend, Suze DeMarchi as stated in an interview with Howard Stern. He wrote it in his London flat, feeling that there was an ancient, mystical element to the song as it was coming together. He told Entertainment Weekly in 2017 that "I was like a conduit. Something about it was bigger than anything we were doing." Rossdale found that the song was more sophisticated than his previous work, and he needed to check with his bandmates to make sure he hadn't inadvertently played an existing song. The single includes a previously unreleased B-side, "Solomon's Bones", which was recorded on November 7th 1995 at River Studios, London and engineered by Joel Monger. The music video for "Glycerine" was 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 October 2nd 1995. Portions were also shot in Worcester, Massachusetts on August 19th 1995. .
