Black Label Society - Stillborn Lyrics and Youtube Music VideosAlbum:
The Blessed Hellride Released:
2003 Blind me
Erase what was
Stillborn, I have become
The feelings I once felt are now dead and gone
I've waited here for you for so very long
So empty
Just a shell of a man
Stillborn, this I understand
The feelings I once felt are now dead and gone
I've waited here for you for so very long
I've waited here for you, so long
I've waited here for you, for you
The feelings I once felt are now dead and gone
I've waited here for you for so very long
I’ve waited here for you, so long
I’ve waited here for you, so long
I’ve waited here for you, so long
I’ve waited here for you, for you

LyricFindStillborn Written by lead singer/guitarist Zakk Wylde, this song is about a man whose girlfriend treats him so poorly and takes such advantage of him that his love for her dies, and, indeed, he feels dead inside. Wylde insists that it's not autobiographical and that if any girl was treating him like that, he would simply break up with her and turn the tables. Structurally, this is a very simple song, as Wylde believes that some of the best songs are ones you could play with one guitar string (low E). In our interview with Wylde , he explained: "You listen to something like 'Whole Lotta Love,' even 'Paranoid,' there's three parts to it. You have the opening riff, you have the verse, and you have that little section and then it gets back to the verse again. 'Stillborn' was just a matter of trying to write with as few chords as I possibly could." The first single from The Blessed Hellride album, this song features background vocals by Ozzy Osbourne. Zakk Wylde was Ozzy's guitarist for his solo albums No Rest for the Wicked (1988) and No More Tears (1991). According to Wylde, immediately after recording the song, Ozzy asked how it turned out, then demanded a beer. Zakk's own vocals on the song came out sounding a lot like Osbourne's.
It was Wylde's wife, Barbaranne, who got Ozzy to sing on the track. Zakk didn't want to "mooch" off Ozzy, but Barbaranne was not deterred: she contacted Ozzy's wife/manager Sharon, and arranged the collaboration. Sharon thought it was a great idea, as it came at a time when she was happy to get Ozzy out of the house and doing some music again. The video was directed by Rob Zombie, who came up with the concept while touring with Black Label Society on Ozzfest. Ozzy Osbourne did not appear in the clip. (thanks, Brett - Edmonton, Canada)
