She Lyrics

She

This song is about a girl who doesn't know what to do with her life. Everyone is trying to tell her what to do, but she wants to take her own path.

It was inspired by Adrienne Nesser, who Billie Joe Armstrong was dating. They met at a Green Day show in 1990 and carried on a long-distance relationship until 1994, when they got married shortly after the band released their Dookie album and rose to fame. The couple stayed together and had two children.

The Dookie album cover contains images of many Green Day inspirations and characters from their life. Says Armstrong: "There's one guy with his camera up in the air taking a picture with a beard. He's this guy Murray that's been around the scene for a long time. He took pictures of bands every weekend at Gilman's. The robed character that looks like Ozzy Osbourne is the woman on the cover of the first Ozzy album. Angus Young is in there somewhere too. The graffiti reading 'Twisted Dog Sisters' refers to these 2 girls from Berkeley. They're punk rock girls that have been around for years."

This is one of Billie Joe Armstrong's favorite songs, and one he makes sure is included in every Green Day show. "I will play 'She' for the rest of my life," he told Rolling Stone in 2014. "It has aged well with me."

She Lyrics

She walked to watch you with the head down low
She wondered if there's a way out of the blue.
Who's gonna take her home this time'
She knew that this time wouldn't be the last time.

There she waits looking for a savior,
Someone to save her from her dying self.
Always taking ten steps back and one step forward,
She's tired, but she don't stop.

She don't stop, she don't stop, she don't stop.
She don't stop, she don't stop, she don't stop.

Every day she stood, hoping for a new light
She closed her eyes and she had a smile voice say
You don't stop, no, you belong to me
She cried, maybe it's too late.

Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop'

She walked to watch you with the head down low
She wondered if there's a way out of the blue.
Who's gonna take her home this time'
She knew that this time wouldn't be the last time

She

"She" is not based on any one person – it is a composite. It is about the idea, emotion, and feeling of desperation. Mvula told Songfacts : "I'm fascinated by the idea that as human beings, even in that ultimate sort of desperation - loneliness or isolation or coming to the end of yourself - there could be something as small as hope, as small as a mustard seed. It could be minute, but it's enough to sustain you for however much longer. When it feels like you have nothing left, there's always something. For some people it's God, for others it's relationships, or whatever."

Laura Mvula spent years dabbling in music without taking the plunge and devoting herself to it full time. She played some solo gigs, earned small writing commissions and taught music to kids whilst working as a supply teacher and receptionist. It was the divorce of her parents that kickstarted Mvula into pursuing music as a career, her muse fueled by the uncertainty of her family life. This autobiographical song was the breakthrough. She told Mojo magazine: "I remember the afternoon I wrote 'She.' The beauty of it, the personal beauty, is I know how necessary that was for me. It was the first thing I'd done that I recalled listening back to and feeling, This really moves me."

The dam burst after Mvula wrote this song and next came the other tracks that comprise her debut EP, She as well as the single "Green Garden." Mvula told The Guardian how the songs she wrote were borne from the anguish she'd experienced after her parents split. "These songs have been a fantastic therapy for me," she revealed. "I needed to write them. They evoke the emotions of being lost or left, or loss in general. Things are really complicated, very painful and deep, and the music has been part of the process."
