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.
Hold Her Closer
Blessid Union Of Souls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you don't know what it is
You might find yourself in fear
To show your heart
But when you feel it
And it's oh, so wonderful
You might find yourself in fear
So hold her closer when she cries
Hold her closer when she feels
She needs a hand to hold
Someone who'll never let her go again
And hold him closer when he tries
To hold the tears back from his eyes
Don't say goodbye
When your heart decides
That it's time to let it through
There's no reason to be scared
To open up
'Cause love may be blind
But all of us don't see it
So just once in your life
If you hear the knock of love
Just let it in
Hold her closer when she cries
Hold her closer when you know it's time to say goodbye
You hurry back to see her smile again
And hold him closer when he's down
When his world is upside down
Turn it around
So hold her closer when she cries
Hold her closer when she feels
She needs a hand to hold
Someone who'll never let her go again
And hold her closer when she's down
When her world is upside down
Turn it around
Hold her close
The lyrics of Blessid Union Of Souls's "Hold Her Closer" talks about acknowledging and accepting love, but being frightened to open up to it, especially when one doesn't understand it. The song implores individuals to hold onto their lover closer during their most vulnerable and intimate moments such as crying, holding tears back and feeling down, so that they can feel secure and never let go again.
The lyrics explore the idea that love can be confusing and terrifying, but it is worth the risk to open up to it. Taking a chance on love, however can be rewarding but may make one feel vulnerable yet one should always hold onto it and never let go when it is found. The lyrics tell a beautiful story of love that is worth sacrificing and fighting for, and it outlines the necessity of being there for each other during the highs and lows in love.
