Originally from Dandenong, Victoria, the band formed in 1991 and performed local gigs for several years before being signed to Sony in 1994. Their debut album was Glide With Me, from which the first two singles Hook Me Up and Hey Girl were moderately successful. It was the third single, however, which launched them into the mainstream. A cover of Let's Groove by Earth, Wind & Fire, it reached number 2 on the Australian singles chart in 1995, and was the highest selling single of the year, selling over 70,000 copies. Glide With Me went on to generate 4 singles in total and went platinum.
A second album, Lifted, was released in 1997 with the lead single Let It Whip. Jude Nicholas joined the group for this release, replacing Andrew De Silva. The album featured a more pop-oriented sound, and was only moderately successful.
After the album, the band decided to break up and concentrate on solo efforts. Gary Pinto released a single and album, however these were unsuccessful. He has worked on backing vocals for several series of Australian Idol and has worked extensively with Guy Sebastian. Gary co-wrote the theme for World Youth Day 2008 - Receive The Power - with Guy, and penned Behold The Cross which features on the WYD08 Official Soundtrack.
Never Thought
CDB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't believe that it's really you
Here making love to me, the way it used to be, after all the tears that I put you through
I knew what I was doing
I was doing you wrong
Woke up one morning and all your clothes were gone
Left to pay the price of losing you forever
Do it one more time so I know I'm not dreaming
I never thought that you'd love me again
Never thought I'd feel the sweat
So exhausted soaking wet, hear you moaning my name
I never thought you'd love me again
I tried to call you, but you didn't return my beep
The only thing you left were your pictures of me
And baby I was sure, you've gone forever more
The last thing I expected was you knocking on my door
Always knew you loved me, but I didn't know how much
Nothing's ever gonna come between the two of us
Now baby, we're falling all over and over and over and over and over
I never thought that you'd love me again
Do it one more time so I know I'm not dreaming
I never thought that you'd love me again
Never thought I'd feel the sweat
The lyrics of CDB's song "Never Thought" revolve around the themes of lost love, regret, and being given a second chance. The singer expresses shock and disbelief at being in the presence of his past love interest again, after having treated them poorly and losing them.

He explains that he woke up one day to find his partner's clothes missing and was left to face the consequences of his actions. In the chorus, the singer expresses his disbelief and gratitude at being given a second chance to be with his partner romantically, saying that he never thought they would love him again.
The first verse describes the singer's shock at being in the presence of his former love interest again. He is overcome with emotion and is in disbelief that he is making love to them once more. The second verse reveals that the singer had attempted to contact his partner in the past, but to no avail. The final stanza, however, shows that his partner had not completely given up on their relationship and took a chance on the singer once more.
