In 1994 an American Gothic band located on Long Island/New York City area released a demo tape. Soon after some tracks were recorded for Cleopatra Records label compilations.
Around the same time, a German band appears:
Bell, Book & Candle ist eine deutsche Popgruppe, deren Bandname sich auf "Glocke, Buch (Bibel) und Kerze" bezieht. Diese drei Utensilien waren im Mittelalter die Werkzeuge zur Exkommunikation.
Als die Band sich 1994 gründete, suchte sie noch zweieinhalb Jahre nach einem Label, bevor sich Turbobeat/BMG als interessiert meldete. Als erste Single wurde Rescue Me im Jahr 1997 veröffentlicht, die es bis an die Spitze der deutschen und schweizerischen Charts schaffte. Sie wurde sogar mit Dreifachgold und Platin in Deutschland und Gold in der Schweiz gerühmt.
Auch das darauffolgende Album Read My Sign von 1997 wurde ein Erfolg mit Gold in Deutschland und der Schweiz.
Als Bell, Book & Candle sich wegen Druck und zu wenig Freizeit entschlossen, ihr eigenes Plattenlabel multirecords zu gründen, bekamen sie zwar ihre Lust an der Arbeit zurück, ihre Verkaufszahlen jedoch sanken. Die folgenden Werke konnten nicht an den Erfolg der Debütauskopplungen anknüpfen.

Louise
Bell Book & Candle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blind that's how the story goes she was the
One he'd gave his live away the promise was
Till death us do oh part
Louise – my love you are so young I'll always
Love you oh with all my heart Louise – beloved
Where do you run don't worry I will keep you
Time passed by suddenly there was a ray of
Light behind these empty eyes morning comes a new beginning and in despair he killed her
Louise – beloved what have you done but
Though the curtain falls we'll never be apart
Louise – no rose without a thorn you'll never
Walk on pieces of my broken heart Louise – my
Love you were so young I've always loved you
Oh with all my heart Louise – there was no other
Way the die is cast you finally belong to me
Grief and despair
Befor leaving lying there so sweet unfaithful
Eyes just closed Louise – calm down and go to
Sleep I'm gonna save you from the time to
Come – you're home
The song Louise by Bell Book & Candle tells the tragic story of a couple who fell in love as children, but whose story ends in despair and grief. The lyrics describe Louise as being the love of the singer's life, with a promise to love her till death do they part. However, despite their love for each other, Louise's life takes a tragic turn when she is killed by the singer in a moment of desperation. The song can be interpreted as a cautionary tale about the dangers of blind love and the consequences of actions taken in the throes of passion.
The lyrics suggest that Louise was too young and naive to understand the true implications of the love she felt for the singer. Despite the singer's efforts to protect her from harm, their love ultimately leads to tragedy. The chorus of the song repeatedly emphasizes the depth of the singer's love for Louise, even after her death, suggesting that their love was so strong that it could not be extinguished by death itself.
