"Comedown" is a song by British rock band Bush, released on 26 September 1995 as the third single from their debut album, Sixteen Stone.
Music video
The music video was directed by Jake Scott from June 19, 1995 to June 21, 1995 in Los Angeles. Scott used a special "fish eye" lens to film some of the scenes, to give that distorted view as if looking through a peep hole.[3]
Commercial performance
"Comedown" remains one of the band's most commercially successful songs, reaching number one on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart and number two on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in late 1995. The song also gave Bush their first American top 40 hit, reaching number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 on November 4, 1995.
