The bands name is a tribute to the 1981 Irish hunger strike participants inside Her Majesty's Prison Maze, which was colloquially called "The H Blocks".

In 1993, the band released their first single, Rising High. The track was extensively played in clubs and sold over 10,000 copies without a video or any advertising whatsoever.

The band rose to fame with their successful first album Time To Move, released in 1994. Part of this success was due to MTV and their repeated airplay of the videos for the "Risin' High" and "Move" singles. H-Blockx earned a nomination for "Best Breakthrough Artist" at the following MTV music awards (but lost to Dog Eat Dog). With the help of the singles "Risin' High", "Move", and "Little Girl" their debut album spent 62 weeks in the German album chart, selling over 750,000 copies worldwide, and earning the band their first gold album.

H-Blockx is still active to this day and are regularly releasing new albums, though none of them have caught the public or MTV's eye like "Time To Move" did. However, they had a minor hit in 2002 with a cover of Snap!'s "The Power".

Time Of My Life
H-Blockx Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I'm just thinking
That I got the best time of my life
I've been with my girl for seven years now
And I got the sweetest dog that
Trust me forever

After school I took my chances
Continued to do the things I love

And now I find that I was right
I'm twenty-six now still I
Do what I want to

And the days are passing by
And now I realize that I've got the time of my life

Time of my life
And the days are passing by

Now I sit here thinking
About the best time of my life
So many years I've been with my band now
And four of my best friends they still
Trust me forever

And still the days are passing by
Now I realize, still I've got the time of my life

Time of my life
And the days are passing by
