General Information

Written by: Gavin Rossdale

1000 Years is a song by English alternative rock band Bush from their ninth studio album, The Art of Survival. A version featuring Amy Lee was released on the album's deluxe edition on June 9, 2023.

Amy Lee, along with the members of Halestorm and Nick Raskulinecz, attended Bush's show in Nashville, Tennessee on February 20, 2023. She joined the band on stage to duet the song.[1] She was asked to collaborate on the song and sent back her own vocals added to the mix.[2] Rossdale admitted he cried when he heard 1000 Years with Amy's vocals. [3]

Bush frontman, Gavin, talked about the collaboration in an interview:

Vin1.jpg "It was so beautiful," Gavin says. "I was really proud of that song and it meant a lot to me already, but then with Amy on it... it's just too good. I can brag about it because I'm bragging about her. [...] I'm so excited for people to hear that song... She elevated it somewhere insane. She's one of my favorite singers of all time, she has the most incredible voice, and I never thought we'd ever collaborate."[2] Vin2.jpg

Lyrics

Never get her back, get your baby back
Never gonna find that one again
Never get him back, never had your back
Never get him 'round your house again
See you in the dark, searching for your heart
See you when the rivers rise
See you when we meet, see you when you fall
See you when the spider bites

You were wrong to me
You set me free
But I wish we could sleep
For a thousand years
I love you best
When therе are no fears

Slide into your lovе, try to make it up
Slide into the one you need
Slide into yourself, slide into the fear
Slide into the ones you lost
Monkey on your back, give you what you need
Monkey see, monkey do

You were wrong for me
You set me free
But I wish we could sleep
For a thousand years
I love you best
When there are no fears

We're up and we're down
We're in and we're out
We're close, so far
Like we don't know where we are
We're sinking
Slowly sinking
Safe

You were wrong to me
You set me free
But I wish we could sleep
For a thousand years
I love you best
When there are no fears

We're up and we're down
We're in and we're out
We're close, so far
Like we don't know where we are
We're sinking
Slowly sinking
We're sinking
Slowly sinking

I don't know what you see, but this TV says to me
"We're sinking"
