Nash was born Leigh Bingham in New Braunfels, Texas. She met guitarist and songwriter Matt Slocum at a church retreat in the early 1990s. The two formed Sixpence None the Richer soon after and went on to record six albums with the band. Their first album, released when she was just 16, was The Fatherless and the Widow. The album garnered critical acclaim and Slocum and Nash searched for new band members. They found Tess Wiley, Dale Baker, and J.J. Plascencio. The new band recorded This Beautiful Mess, which won a Dove Award for Best Album. Wiley quit the band after their US tour and the band signed to the Squint Records label. The band's new self-titled album was released in 1997. A year later, the teen movie She's All That and the popular teen soap Dawson's Creek played Kiss Me (with tie-in videos) which went on to be a hit single off the album and the band's most recognizable song. In 1999 they received numerous Dove Awards, including Best Artist of the Year. The band was also nominated for a Grammy Award. After problems with their record labels, Sixpence came back in 2001 with the album Divine Discontent after losing both Dale Baker and J.J. Plascencio. Two singles from that album, Breathe Your Name and Don't Dream It's Over, went onto the charts. However, Sixpence announced their break-up on 26 February 2004 when Slocum sent a letter to CCM Magazine.
Nash married PFR drummer Mark Nash in the late 1990s, after the couple met while both bands were performing at the Cornerstone Festival in Illinois.
Leigh Nash has also done guest performances as the lead vocalist on several songs by Delerium. Innocente is probably the best known of these.
In the fall of 2005, Nash began work on her first solo album with producer Pierre Marchand. The album, titled Blue on Blue, was released on 15 August 2006 on her personal label, One Son Records. The first single, My Idea of Heaven, was released to USA radio the week of 14 July 2006.
Charmed Life
Leigh Nash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Innocence wild
Crayola skies for a thousand miles
It's a good life in the happily ever after
Last page of a very last chapter
It's the story of a charmed life
It's a charmed life
Stumbling, you fall right into place
It's a childlike world and you can feel the magic
Far from the typically tragic
That's the beauty of a charmed life
Who needs to know
When it all comes and when it all goes
Who needs to know just when
Fate will take you there
It's a charmed life
Innocence wild
Crayola skies for a thousand miles
It's a good life in the happily ever after
Last page of a very last chapter
It's the story of a charmed life
Na na na

Who needs to know
When it all comes and when it all goes

I know you'll be there (I know you'll be there)
It's a charmed life
Innocence wild
Crayola Skies for a thousand miles
It's a good life in the happily ever after

In "Charmed Life" by Leigh Nash, the singer reflects on the beauty and wonder of living a charmed life. The song celebrates the innocence and childlike wonder of life, as well as the unexplainable grace of fate that can lead us to the "happily ever after" ending we hope for. Nash sings of the beauty of a life that is free from the typical tragedies and struggles that can come with adulthood, instead painting a picture of a world filled with "Crayola skies for a thousand miles."
The chorus repeats the line "Who needs to know when it all comes and when it all goes," highlighting the idea that living in the present moment is what truly matters in a charmed life. The song encourages listeners to embrace their own "charmed life," to revel in the beauty and innocence of the world around them, and to have faith that fate will guide them towards their own happy ending.

Until now, I didn't know who sang this song. I mean, I've watched a YouTube video from the same song. But it involved Jackie Burkhart, the character Mila Kunis played on "That 70's Show", and her charmed life. I'm now glad I know who sang this song. And that's all I got to say about that.
