Stone temple pilots down the river lyrics
It gives me a feeling of isolation, when I think about it. They switch off people's minds and control the masses. About people who tell others what to do and what to believe. "Naked Sunday", according to Weiland, "is about organized religion. "Sex Type Thing", according to Weiland, deals with abuse of power, "macho" behavior, and humanity's attitude toward women, treating them as sex objects. Striving to create an intense and emotional sound, vocalist Weiland has said that the main theme of the album is that humanity is confused, with songs like " Sex Type Thing" and "Naked Sunday" dealing with social injustice. Producer Brendan O'Brien can be heard at the end of the track, walking into the room and saying "All right, now what?" The rest of the album was recorded at Rumbo Recorders in a matter of five weeks, after which the band decided on the name "Core", referring to the apple of the Biblical story of Adam and Eve.Ĭore, as a debut album, displayed the band's attempt to revive the album-oriented music approach of the 1970s. The first recorded track for the album, the 96 second "Wet My Bed", emerged from an improv session between vocalist Scott Weiland and bassist Robert DeLeo, who were alone in the studio. The album, which peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and No. 3 on the Billboard 200, was certified 8x platinum by the RIAA on December 18, 2001, making it the band's best-selling album. Core is the debut studio album by American rock band Stone Temple Pilots, released on September 29, 1992, through Atlantic Records.
