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.
Hey Leonardo
Blessid Union Of Souls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And she don't care about my money
And that's real good because I don't got a lot to spend
But if I did it wouldn't mean nothin'
She likes me for me
Not because I look like Tyson Beckford
With the charm of Robert Redford
But what she sees
Are my faults and indecisions
My insecure conditions
And the tears upon the pillow that I shed
She don't care about my big screen
Or my collection of DVD's
Things like that just never mattered much to her
Plus she don't watch to much T.V.
And she don't care that I can fly her
To places she ain't never been
If she really wants to go, I think deep down she knows that
All she has to say is when
She likes me for me
Not because I hang with Leonardo
Or that guy who played in Fargo
I think his name is Steve
She's the one for me
And I just can't live without her
My arms belong around her
And I'm so glad I found her once again
And I'm so glad I found her once again
Yeah, I'm so glad I found her once again
Gazing at the ceiling
As we entertain our feelings in the dark
The things that we're afraid of are gonna show us
What we're made of in the end
She likes me for me
Not because I sing like Pavarotti
Or because I am such a hottie
I like her for her
Not because she's phat like Cindy Crawford
She has got so much to offer
Why does she waste all her time with me
There must be something there that I don't see, I don't see
She likes me for me
Not because I'm tough like Dirty Hairy
Make her laugh just like Jim Carrey
Unlike the Cable Guy
But what she sees
Is that I can't live without her
My arms belong around her
And I'm so glad I found her once again
Found her once again, once again
Yeah, I'm so glad I found her once again
The Blessid Union Of Souls's song, "Hey Leonardo," is a tribute to having someone who loves and accepts you for who you are rather than what possessions you own. The song's narrator sings about a woman who is different from most women he's met because she cares about him for who he is as a person and not for his money or material possessions. He appreciates the fact that she is not enamored by his fancy cars or his collection of DVDs, but rather by his personality and character.
The lyrics reflect the idea that being yourself is the most important aspect of a relationship. The singer acknowledges his faults, indecisions, and insecurities, but understands that they do not matter to the woman he loves. He is not pretending to be someone he isn't, and she is not interested in material possessions, which allows for a genuine connection between them. Additionally, the song speaks to the idea that true love is not based on superficial traits or societal expectations.
Overall, "Hey Leonardo" offers a message about the power of unconditional love and acceptance. The song encourages us to be true to ourselves and focus on what really matters in a relationship, rather than what society often tells us is important. It’s a meaningful call to find and value the person for who they truly are, not the superficial attributes that they might have.
