Rise (Public Image Ltd. song)
- Rise (Public Image Ltd. song)
"Rise" is a song released by post-rock group Public Image Ltd. in 1986 from their album "Album".
Written by John Lydon about the issue of apartheid in Africa, which was a very prevalent issue in the 1980s, the song is a departure from the group's regular sound, featuring a somewhat haunting backing and lyrics. It was one of the group's biggest commercial hits, peaking at #11 on the UK Singles Chart and being featured on albums in both the "Hits" and "Now That's What I Call Music!" series in the UK.
Was featured in the films The Rules Of Attraction and The Promotion.
This song is notable as guitar legend Steve Vai contributes his guitar work to the track instead of the group's regular guitarist, Keith Levene.
The song was covered by Australian Industrial Metal band Jerk on their debut album "When Pure Is Defiled".
