"Stillborn" is a song from the Black Label Society album The Blessed Hellride. The song was also released as a single. It features guest vocals from Ozzy Osbourne, with whom Wylde had worked before as the guitarist of his band. Wylde's own vocal style also became quite similar to Osbourne's for this record, and for a while, debate ran over whether or not Osbourne was actually featured in the song.
"Stillborn" is about a man whose girlfriend treats him so poorly and takes so much advantage of him that his love for her dies, and, indeed, he feels dead inside. Wylde insists that it's not autobiographical and that if any girl was treating him like that, he would simply break up with her and turn the tables.
The video was directed by Rob Zombie, featuring his obvious signature style of blue lighting, zombies, and a regular female cameo. They got the idea for it while touring together on Ozzfest. A lot of people thought Ozzy would appear in the video, but he didn't.
Wylde has performed an acoustic version of "Stillborn" that is not only longer but also features a much different sound all together.
