Both Sewell and Freeman had moved from the Pacific Northwest to Austin, TX, USA in 2005, but they didn't meet until a year later in 2006 at an Austin club called, "Emo's" where Kimberly was playing a show under the old band moniker, "Ghetto Princess". Sewell was a music producer at the time and owned, "Nebulost Ranch", where he invited her to record. He and Freeman began working together in his studio on the debut album, "Hole", which was released under the band's new name, "One-Eyed Doll". Over the years, Sewell became an integral part of the band's unique sound and even played several instruments on the albums. Sewell joined as drummer, "Junior" in 2009.
One-Eyed Doll claims four full-length commercially released albums, alongside Freeman's several solo releases, debuting in 2007 with "Hole". "Monster" was released in 2008, "Break" in 2010, and "Dirty" in 2012.
The group recorded their fourth album at RadioStar Studios in Weed, California with acclaimed producer Sylvia Massy (Prince, Tool, Johnny Cash, System of a Down, etc.). Dirty was released July 15, 2012.
One-Eyed Doll's fifth studio album, "Committed", also produced by Sylvia Massy, is set to release in Spring 2014. The group recently debuted a music video for the re-recorded title track.
Ponies
One-Eyed Doll Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And ponies and ponies and ponies and ponies
And rainbowey ponies
And sunshiny ponies
And clouds full of ponies
That float in the sky
Magical sparkling rainbow unicorn ponies
Their flesh and their bonies
I chat with my ponies
On marshmallow phonies
They whinny they sparkle
And best of all - fly!
Ponies and ponies and ponies and ponies
And forgiveness and ponies
And happiness ponies
Defenders of cupcakes and shooting star wishes
They shower nice feelings and hugs from the sky!
The lyrics of "Ponies (Fluffy)" by One-Eyed Doll are a whimsical celebration of ponies. The singer goes on and on about different types of ponies - rainbowey, sunshiny, and cloud ponies that float in the sky. She even talks about sparkling rainbow unicorn ponies. The singer says she loves all ponies, from their flesh and bonies to their magical abilities to chat with her on marshmallow phonies, whinny, sparkle, and fly. She invokes the image of ponies as the defenders of cupcakes and shooting star wishes, showering nice feelings and hugs from the sky. For the singer, ponies embody forgiveness and happiness.
The song is a perfect depiction of childhood innocence and imagination, when ponies were a source of fascination for many children.
