Biography

Hard-edged US pop band founded by former [a=Throwing Muses] member Tanya Donelly, following her short stint with [a=The Breeders]. Formed in 1991 by Tanya with fellow ex-Muse Fred Abong and brothers Chris and Tom Gorman, they achieved strong initial success in both the UK and US indie/alternative scenes. Twice Grammy-nominated in the early 1990s. Abong left the band during the recording of their debut, [i]Star[/i], and was replaced by Gail Greenwood on bass. The subsequent tour boosted their popularity, however, their second album, [i]King[/i], which was expected to build on the success of its predecessor, wasn't as well received. Donelly disbanded Belly in 1996 and released her first solo material at the end of the year. In February 2016, Belly announced their reunion for live shows, as well as plans to record new material. The band launched a PledgeMusic campaign, and released their third album, [i]Dove[/i], on 3 May 2018.

LYRICS

So what, you think this is usual?
Strange moon, strange land, strange man.
Hold the hands of tiny horses,
Hold them, hold them kindly, man.
Low Red Moon,
How can you sleep like a baby,
Sleep like baby?
But you shine so different on another.
You shine different on another.
I look up, and I see
The raising of an old hope,
Brave and tattered.
A shining knight with shining eyes,
He shines around me brightly.
So now, I say this is beautiful.
I think you are strange.
Low red moon, how can you sleep like a baby,
Sleep like a baby?
But you shine so different on another.
You shine different on another.
Strange moon, strange land, strange...
You made me cry when I was young,
And I was young.
Now I got strong arms,
Strong arms for a girl,
And I say,
"He belongs to me.
He belongs to me.
He's a human bed of roses."
