They additionally have had several other dance-inspired tunes throughout the 80s and early 90s that gained underground popularity. Other examples of their songs include 1986's "You Make Me Feel So Good" and "Modigliani (Lost in Your Eyes)" as well as 1991's "Alice Everyday" and 1992's "Flower in My Hand". The group's new wave sound has showed a debt to eccentric art rock as well as electronic music artists of the early 80s. For example, their remix of Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells (Theme From the Exorcist)" was another number one smash for them.
Book of Love came to an end in 1993, with the group being dormant for some time. A best-of collection titled 'I Touch Roses: The Best of Book Of Love' came out in 2001. Receiving some critical praise, with Allmusic's Michael Gallucci labeling it as having "spare synth-pop and sunny melodies", a new Peter Rauhofer remix of "Boy" successfully hit the dance charts and brought the group back into the spotlight. They're toured occasionally since then. Ted and Lauren have also released music recently with a new project called The Myrmidons. Ted has done production work for NYC-based duo Dangerous Muse as well.

Book Of Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like raindrops from your eyes
Tears fall from the sky
Like raindrops from your eyes
It only takes a sunny day
To find a way
It only takes a little time
I wonder if you'll ever know
That love makes our spirit glow
I wonder if you'll ever know
That love makes our spirit glow
It only takes a sunny day
To find a way
It only takes a little time
To open up your mind, mind
Get on your knees and pray
The sun will shine one day
Get on your knees and pray
The sun will shine one day
It only takes a sunny day

What a beautiful feeling
To open up your mind
It only takes a sunny day
It only takes a sunny day
