Black Label Society Feat. Ozzy Osbourne – Stillborn

Song

"Stillborn" is a song from the Black Label Society album The Blessed Hellride. The song was also released as a single. Wylde's own vocal style also became quite similar to Ozzy Osbourne's for this record, while Osbourne was featured in the song on chorus singing with Zakk the lines, "The feelings I once felt are now Dead and gone. I've waited here for you for so very long."

"Stillborn" tells the story of a man whose girlfriend treats him so poorly and takes so much advantage of him that his love for her dies, leaving him feeling dead as well. Wylde insists that it is not autobiographical and that if any girl were to treat him like that, he would simply break up with her.

The video was directed by Rob Zombie, featuring his signature style of blue lighting, zombies, and a regular female cameo, Rob Zombie's wife Sheri Moon Zombie. The idea came together while touring together on Ozzfest.

Wylde has performed an acoustic version of "Stillborn" that is not only longer but also features a much different sound, following an acoustic solo throughout much of song.

The song also appears in the game Guitar Hero World Tour, with the singer as Zakk Wylde. It is the encore in the guitar career after defeating Wylde in a guitar duel.

Album

The Blessed Hellride is the fourth studio album by Black Label Society. It contains a mix of heavy (Stoned and Drunk, Stillborn) and lighter (The Blessed Hellride, Dead Meadow) tunes.

The second track "Doomsday Jesus" was featured on the soundtrack to the game MTX: Mototrax, but with altered lyrics.

Ozzy Osbourne appears on the first single "Stillborn," though his name was not used to promote the track. He is credited inside the booklet, however, due to Ozzy being on Sony Records at the time, Spitfire Records were not allowed to promote this song with Osbourne's name - a sticker on the cover of the album said "featuring special guest star."

Blind me
Erase what was
Stillborn, I have become

The feelings I once felt are now dead and gone
I've waited here for you for so very long

So empty
Just a shell of a man
Stillborn, this I understand

The feelings I once felt are now dead and gone
I've waited here for you for so very long

I've waited here for you,
so long
I've waited here for you, for you

The feelings I once felt are now dead and gone
I've waited here for you for so very long
I've waited here for you,
so long
I've waited here for you,
so long
I've waited here for you,
so long
I've waited here for you, for you

Accecami
Cancella ciò che era
Nato morto, questo sono

I sentimenti che una volta provavo sono morti e scomparsi
Ti ho aspettato per così tanto tempo

Così vuoto
Solo un guscio di un uomo
Nato morto, questo ho capito

I sentimenti che una volta provavo sono morti e scomparsi
Ti ho aspettato per così tanto tempo

Ti ho aspettato qui
così lungo
Ho aspettato qui, per te

I sentimenti che una volta provavo sono morti e scomparsi
Ti ho aspettato per così tanto tempo
Ti ho aspettato qui
così a lungo
Ti ho aspettato qui
così a lungo
Ti ho aspettato qui
così a lungo
Ho aspettato qui, per te
