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.
If She Couldn't Sleep
Blessid Union Of Souls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could probably stay awake til noon time
So frustrating knowing what could be
What's even worse is she used to belong to me
As I toss and turn there's nothing I can do
But if she couldn't sleep maybe we could make up
But I just can't seem to wake her up this time
Oh, no If she couldn't sleep
A little time to stop her heart from bleeding so
Like me, I wish she couldn't sleep
8AM and she's not at home
Stayed out all night wonder if she's all alone or
With someone new and she won't even call
To ease my mind just to help me break the fall
Now I'm feeling all the things I put her through
But if she couldn't sleep maybe we could make up
But I just can't seem to wake her up this time
Oh, no if she couldn't sleep
I know she'd tell herself that she might need
A little time to stop her heart from bleeding so
Like me, but I guess she's doing fine
I wonder if she knows she's on my mind
The song "If She Couldn't Sleep" by Blessid Union Of Souls is a melancholic reflection of a lover who is lying awake in the other room, contemplating the possibilities of reconciling with his ex-girlfriend who left him heartbroken. This person is fully aware of what could have been if only his ex-girlfriend could not sleep and he was able to talk to her. He is frustrated that she has moved on and belongs to someone else. He deeply regrets the way he treated her and wishes that he could undo the pain he caused her. However, he knows that he cannot undo the past and is left with the regret and consequences of his actions.
The lyrics are powerful and convey the emotions of regret, pain and longing. The song is a reflection on a lost love and a wishful thinking of what if. The singer wishes that his ex could not sleep, implying that they could have a chance to reconcile, but deep inside, he knows that this is simply a wishful thinking. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who has lost something dear to him and now has to deal with the consequences of his actions. The song ends with the singer wondering if his ex-girlfriend knows that she is still on his mind.
Overall, "If She Couldn't Sleep" is a hauntingly beautiful song that captures the essence of lost love and regret. It speaks to anyone who has ever been heartbroken and wishes that they could have done things differently.
