No Doubt - Ex-Girlfriend

[@tedbobinski5537]

[@ЗаурБорлаков-щ5г]

Сегодня музыкой управляют брэнды. А тогда это было сложное искусство

[@xhideyho]

It’s because artists were really artists. Nothing less than pure artistic integrity and creativity were tolerated and there was an incredible amount of true talent and artistry. You had one group that was better than the next, each pushing societal limits and breaking barriers their own special way. Now you have a bunch of lame gen z sheeple “posing” as artists and doing whatever is popular, following what their masters Tik Tok and instagram tell them to do. No more boldness or rawness so the excitement is gone. It’s only going to get worse once we have AI “artists”... don’t even want to think about that.

[@jumblepumble7675]

I'm sorry but female artists still do this. You're just out of touch

+Silvio Conci The music industry loves to screw over its musicians thats why

[@a.w.1534]

'Return to Saturn' was released 5 years after 'Tragic kingdom' (which was hugely successful) and marketing wasn't put into it outside the States and Canada. If memory serves they pulled the funding to put more worldwide promotion into 'Rock Steady' the following year.

[@romulus_]

[@Risingofthephoenix]

You know you could still be friends with your ex right? Not everyone is emotionally immature to hang around their exes in a civil manner. Not everyone had horrible relationships that made them hate their exes.

[@crazyhai8155]

​@Risingofthephoenix. This song is not actually about Tony. It's about another ex, in another band. But regardless, Gwen DID struggle with this song. Even now, she says she can't bear to hear it, as it's still too distressing to think about the emotions she was going through (during that break-up). So she was very strong, to record this song and make the video. And it's the same for the songs that actually WERE about Tony. She says she really DID struggle. Sure, you can be friends with an ex. But that usually only happens (peacefully), when emotions and distress have been resolved and moved on from. But when Tony dumped Gwen, it nearly emotionally destroyed her (by her own account). It took her years to come to terms with. She'd made her whole life and identity about him. And in 'Don't Speak', they'd only just split up. That caused such turbulence, the band had nearly broken up the previous day (before the video shoot). There was also tension between other band members and Gwen (contributing to the band nearly breaking up), because other band members were jealous of the attention the media gave Gwen. Yet they did a video depicting all that, i.e. the break-up between Tony and Gwen; how other band members isolated her, out of jealousy - so she couldn't rely on them for emotional support, either, etc. And they did it, whilst it was all something very current that was happening. So absolutely it was full of turmoil, to sing and film 'Don't Speak' - and a similar turmoil, for her to perform other songs about break-ups. Creativity is often fuelled by intense distress, and absolutely she felt that distress whilst performing these songs. It must have been very difficult, to see Tony and perform with him, so regularly.

When the song is uploaded you have to put the record company copyright dates that are applicable at the time.

A lot of companies didn't spell out different release dates, upload dates and copyright dates when KZbin/vevo was new.
