"Rush Hour Soul" is a song by the Britpop band Supergrass. It was the fourth and final single from their fourth album Life On Other Planets. The single failed to chart in the US, and was outside the Top 75 in the UK upon its release in August 2003,[2] but this was probably because it was released around ten months after Life On Other Planets.
"It's about losing reality and just being really off your head," said Danny Goffey. "You could be really drugged up or stricken by madness, and then it's about just needing an escape to get out of that. That's why the verses are quite intense and the chorus is more reflective about the place you'd rather be in."[3]
Supergrass themselves are quite fond of the song, and describe it as "rapidly becoming a live monster".[4]
