Bo's first album, titled The Real Thing, was released on December 13th, 2005. It includes several original songs on which Bo shares writing credit such as “It’s My Life”, which Bo wrote with Clif Magness and Kara DioGuardi.
Bo's second album, "See The Light" was released October 23, 2007. It was recorded in his own studio, and under his own independent record label, Sugar Money (teamed up with StratArt for that project). The album was co-produced by Bo and Frank Liddell. The songs (all written by Bo, some in collaboration with friends) reflect a diverse spectrum--from all-out southern rock, country, funk, to emotional ballads.
Valley Of Angels
Bo Bice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And sometimes I feel I've grown
Never try to let it show
But I'm not alone
If you sing this song
I'll take you there
If you don't care
Going to the valley of angels
To swim in the deep blue sea
Surrounded by your faith and your glory
Is where I find my peace
So peace
In the valley of angels...
In the valley of angels
Heard so many stories, I thought they were lies (but you know they're true)
I know that I have quit before I even tried (ahhh, but you could not worry)
I stood up one day and found myself
But I'm not alone
If you sing this song
I'll take you there
If you don't care...
Then go with me!
[Chorus:]
All you ever dreamed to see...
You can touch, you don't believe
Lying here on angels' wings...
[Chorus:]
(Going to the valley of angels)
To the valley of angels
(Going to the valley of angels)
Ahaaaa...yeah
The lyrics to Bo Bice's song "Valley of Angels" reflect an underlying message of hope and perseverance, despite feeling at the bottom and alone. The opening lines "I've been down and I'm nothing at all, and sometimes I feel I've grown" touch upon the feeling of insignificance and self-doubt. However, throughout the song, the message to keep pushing through is conveyed in lines like "never try to let it show, but I'm not alone, if you sing this song, I'll take you there if you don't care". The chorus shifts the focus to the idea that through faith and perseverance, one can reach a place of peace and solace in the "valley of angels". The repetition of the phrase "in the valley of angels" emphasizes the idea of reaching a utopian state, where one is surrounded by glory and faith, and finds calm amidst a turbulent life.
The song is also peppered with more personal anecdotes about overcoming fear and self-doubt. The lyrics "Heard so many stories, I thought they were lies, but you know they're true. I know that I have quit before I even tried" reflect feelings of futility and fear of failure. However, as the song progresses, there is a shift in perspective as it becomes clear that this failure is not the end-all-be-all, and one can always try again. The lyrics "I stood up one day and found myself" reflect the idea of self-discovery and finding one's purpose.
