Some of the band's biggest hits include "I Believe," "Hey, Leonardo (She Likes Me for Me)," "I Wanna Be There," and "Brother My Brother" which was used in the US release of the first Pokemon movie. Their debut album, "Home," was certified gold by the RIAA in 1995.
In 2000, several of the band's songs were scheduled for use during the production of a film entitled "Standing at the Edge of the Earth" by Fizzle Freak Productions. The film would have co-starred the band's bassist Tony Clark, as well as the rest of the band featured in prominent roles. The film's production was canceled in late 2000 early 2001 due to legal and financial issues.
In 2006, Jeff Pence headed a project in which the band contributed two tracks for "Clutch Hits," a CD that featured a variety of artists singing about the Cincinnati Reds. The songs were entitled "Play Ball" and "Me, Marty, Joe, Ted & Louise." The project was a fund raiser for the Reds Community Fund.
End of the World
Blessid Union Of Souls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't know where you're going and you don't know how to try
You don't really have a best friend but you think that you're in love
Now all you can remember are the words he used the most
Like the "lie" in believe
The "I" in deceive
The "her" in together
The "we" in the weather
But it's not the end of the world
Well you didn't see it coming cause you never understood
That there's a time to draw the line when things are going good
But you just kept on giving beyond the call of love
And he was kind to rob you blind of the pieces of your heart
Like that part that made you give
And the part that made you weak
When he would softly kiss you
And tell you that he missed you
I know it doesn't seem like what I'm going to say is true
But it's not the end of the world
It's not the end of the line
You know there's more to love
You know there's more to life
And I know there's more to you
Well I can't help but think about you in the middle of the night
I know it's kinda lonely but you have to win this fight
I just wish that I could hold you and tell you it's alright
But it's not the end of the world
The song "End of the World" by Blessid Union of Souls talks about a broken heart and the pain of a failed romantic relationship. The lyrics are filled with powerful emotions and vivid imagery that make it easy to relate to the characters in the song. The song starts by describing the singer's current state, which is a mix of dreaming and lies. They don't know where they are going or how to try. They also don't have a best friend but believe that they are in love. All they can remember are the words he used the most, such as 'lie, deceive, together, we, and weather.' The singer knows that the guy meant what he said, but it's not the end of the world.
The second stanza describes how the singer didn't see the end of the relationship coming. They didn't know when to draw the line and kept on giving beyond the call of love. The person they loved took advantage of them, and they feel robbed of some parts of their heart. They miss the good times when they would softly kiss and say they missed each other. The singer then reassures the singer that it's not the end of the world, and there's more to love and life than the person who left them. In the final stanza, the singer thinks about the singer in the middle of the night and wishes he could hold them and let them know everything will be alright.
