Sunset Marquis

"Sunset Marquis" is a song by Hole (sometimes credited as solely Courtney Love) that was co-written by Billy Corgan and Linda Perry. Corgan also performed keyboards in the studio recording. The recording appeared on the 2007 compilation release, Visionaire No. 53: Sound.

"The record was taking such a toll on me. I wasn’t easy for anyone to deal with because I was method acting the material. These songs were first written in rehab, at a friend’s house after rehab, then at the Chateau Marmont—until I was banned from there and had to live at the Sunset Marquis. They come from a confused, lost, real place that I’m happy to no longer be in."

Background
The studio recording originates from The Rehab Tapes that later were reworked into Hole's 2010 album, Nobody's Daughter. "Sunset Marquis" did not make the album. The song first surfaced at Courtney Love and Linda Perry's April 29, 2006 surprise benefit show for the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center, which saw guest guitar by Corgan. The studio version with a backing Hole band was released on December 1, 2007 on the Visionaire No. 53: Sound compilation.
