Meg White was one such dreamer who, though a shy and introverted person, made herself heard through the loud beats of the drums. Her music career began out of a sudden impulse when her future bandmate Jack White heard her playing in 1997. The duo formed The White Stripes two months later and soon became the go-to garage band internationally. The song ‘Blue Orchid’ was the duo’s first track from the album Get Behind Me Satan, released in June 2005 and was also shared as a single. The song is about the hardships of the new entertainment industry which Jack white found difficult to adjust to and hence longed for the classical golden era. The track was a commercial success topping the Canadian Singles chart and reached number 43 in the Billboard Hot 100. The music video, which became a fashion by that time, was directed by Floria Sigismondi, adding yet more strings to their expanding bow. The music arrangement of the original track was heavily metallic produced by playing a guitar into an Electro-Harmonix creation along with the drums. When stripped off all the other instrumentations and the vocals, the drums are exactly how John Whites first described Meg’s style minimalist and untrained. The lack of pompous words for Meg’s style however shouldn’t be seen as a libel.
Her style suited the song perfectly and contributed to its enormous success. Without wasting more time, let’s listen to Meg White’s isolated drums in the ‘Blue Orchid’ track."Blue Orchid" is the first track by the American alternative rock band The White Stripes from their album Get Behind Me Satan, and the first single to be released from the album. Live, the sound is produced by a bass-rich guitar tone, used in combination with a whammy pedal to create the heavily metallic sounding breaks of the song ("How dare you, how old are you now anyway" and "get behind me, get behind me now anyway".) The recorded sound is produced by two guitars playing almost in unison, and each digitally combined with their own signal an octave lower. The single comes in three editions, each with different additional tracks. All three covers feature two people dressed up as The White Stripes, but are noticeably different people. The first CD and the 7" feature the couple in the same order as Get Behind Me Satan, with 'Jack' on the right. The second CD version features 'Jack' on the left. In an NPR interview, Jack White referred to "Blue Orchid" as the song that saved the album. He has denied that the song relates to the ending of his relationship with Renée Zellweger. The video for "Blue Orchid" was on Yahoo!'s Top Twenty Scariest Music Videos of all Time, charting at number 13.
