Here's what Gwen had to say during a live concert at Kaaboo Del Mar:
Quote:
By the third song, “Underneath it All,” off of 2001’s “Rock Steady,” Stefani was wearing her heart on her sleeve, changing up the lyric “And when it’s really bad / I guess it’s not that bad” to “It’s really (bleepin’) bad.”
She kept her composure, but continued to launch the verbal torpedoes. “Simple Kind of Life,” a song which she noted “… is one of my favorite songs I wrote in my whole life,” got the acoustic treatment and yet another lyric change up after she sang the line “If we met tomorrow for the very first time/ Would it start all over again? / Would I try to make you mine?” she quipped “I don’t think so.”
If anyone has the potential to have a huge comeback in her late 40s, it's Gwen. She's always been so Cool () and she has such a unique sound that people love. This divorce might be the best thing for her musically.
Throughout the show, [Gwen] changed lyrics to make them more pointed. She referenced stinky, disgusting, narcissistic and pathetic boys during “Bathwater” mid-set. The next song, the “Tragic Kingdom” offering “Happy Now?,” found Stefani channeling her younger self. On the final lines, she changed “You have no one else/You’re by yourself” to “I got nobody else/I’m by myself.”
She introduced “Ex-Girlfriend” as “a song that never gets old,” too.
“What’s weird is that some of the songs have new meanings for me,” Stefani said at one point during the set.
