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.

Blessid Union Of Souls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of where the pictures used to be
Closets full of clothes are empty
Now this mess belongs to me
Leaving me room for all the baggage
I've been keeping locked inside
I said I'd get over her, but I lied....
Yesterday, she walked out of my life
The other day, I was doin' fine
But yesterday was the last day of my life
Every minute I'm alone I watch the phone
I can't believe
It's so pathetic how my imagination
Gets the best of me
Maybe I'll phone her up, won't act grown up
Then she'll hang up the line
Now I'll just have to get a life
Yesterday she walked out of my life
She said it was the best for both of us
The other day I was doin' fine
Yesterday was the last day of my life
Yesterday she walked out of my life
The day before, I was feelin' fine
Yesterday was the last day of my life
Why did I doubt her (Yesterday)
I'm better without her (Yesterday)
Yesterday she walked out of my life
There she goes
If she don't care why the hell should I
yesterday was the best day of my life
Yesterday she walked out of my life
If she don't care, why the hell should I
Yesterday was the best day of my....
Yesterday was the best day of my life....
In "The Last Day," Blessid Union of Souls paints a vivid picture of the aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer is left with the remnants of the life he shared with his partner, from the empty closets to the outline of picture frames that once held memories of their love. He's also left with his own emotional baggage, which he's been keeping locked inside. Though he initially tells himself that he'll get over her, he knows deep down that he's lying to himself. The discovery that his partner has left him sends him into a spiral of despair and loneliness. The singer is left with nothing but his imagination, which only causes more pain and longing for his lost love. He's so lost in his own head that he contemplates calling her, but he knows deep down it's not the right thing to do. In the end, he realizes that he needs to move on and start a new life without her.
