Julianne (song)

"Julianne" is a song from Ben Folds Five's 1995 self-titled first album. It was written by Ben Folds. It is best known for its opening line: "I met this girl, she looked like Axl Rose...."

History

The song is about a man in denial about the effect the end of a relationship with the title character has had on him. Sparked by waking up the morning after a one-night stand, the man engages in behavior he knows his ex would look down upon to prove that the break-up has had little impact on him. This painfully transparent front reveals the man is trying to get back at his ex as a means of coping. The song implies that the man still deeply misses Julianne.

In its use of sound effects, the song recalls the early career of Billy Joel, to whom Folds has often been compared.

Additional versions

A live version of the song, recorded November 26, 1996, at the former LA2 nightclub in London, appears on the 1998 compilation and rarities album Naked Baby Photos.

Grateful (album)

Grateful is the third studio album by Danish electronic rock band Carpark North, released on 8 September 2008. The album has spawned four singles: "Shall We Be Grateful", "More", "Save Me from Myself" and "Leave My Place". The song "Save Me from Myself" was covered by Brazilian Christian rock band Oficina G3 and Christian musician Michael W. Smith.

In late 2006 the band started building their own recording studio "Yderlandet" in Copenhagen, and began to work on their third album. Around the same time Carpark North left EMI for a Danish independent label, Copenhagen Records, to have total control over their sound. In mid 2007 they were contacted by American producer Brian Sperber (Moby, Julian Casablancas), who wanted to produce their next release. Sperber joined the production mid-way and finished the songs together with mixing the album.

The album was certified platinum in Denmark and became their most successful release to date. 'The title, Grateful, suddenly made more and more sense to us, 'cause we WERE really amazed by the success gained from this album. During those months we were in a constant state of gratefulness,' said the band's vocalist Lau Højen.
