Violet
Hole · Bridesmaids (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [2011]
And all the stars look just like little fish
You should learn when to go
You should learn how to say no
Might last a day, yeah
Minus forever
Might last a day, yeah
Minus forever
When they get what they want, they never want it again
When they get what they want, they never want it again
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
And the sky was all Violet's
I want give the violent more violence
Hey, I'm the one with no soul
One above and one below
Might last a day, yeah
Minus forever
Might last a day, yeah
Minus forever
When they get what they want, they never want it again
When they get what they want, they never want it again
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I dare you to
I told you from the start just how this would end
When I get what I want then I never want it again
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, take everything, take everything
Violet
Hole's 'Violet' serves as a haunting centerpiece on the Bridesmaids soundtrack, channeling the band's signature blend of punk energy and ethereal beauty. Recorded during the late 1990s, the track exemplifies Courtney Love's ability to weave personal vulnerability into a sonic landscape that defies traditional genre boundaries. While the song gained renewed attention through its placement in the 2011 film, its roots lie in Hole's broader discography, where it reflects the raw emotional intensity characteristic of albums like Live Through This and MTV Unplugged. The recording captures a moment where the band's chaotic power meets a delicate, almost fragile vocal delivery, creating a memorable piece that resonates across generations of fans. Its inclusion in a major motion picture soundtrack highlights its enduring appeal and versatility within contemporary music.
