The group consisted of the vocals of Ellen Bledsoe, the guitar of Tom Bramer, Anna DiPiazza on keyboards and backing vocals, Tony Persyn with bass and sequencing and Greg Miller on drums.
In the autumn of 1996, they gave birth to their first, self-titled EP, which was followed by the full-length album Tiny Warnings in the middle of the next year.
Their mixture of rock, electronica and pop is often compared to Garbage, but the band had their own unique style, and maybe that is the reason why they are still remembered.

I Am
Radio Iodine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am your one true voice
I am your only choice
I am the air you breathe
I am the fix you need
I am the salt you sweat
I am the high you hope to get
I am your driving force
I am the need for more and more

I am your private hell, your sweetest smell
your constant, changing voice
I am your best advice, your darkest night
your silent, raging noise
I am, I am
I am, I am
I am your waking thought
I am the prize you want
I am the one who cares
I am your rocking chair
I am the hope you seek
I am the force you think you need
I am your heart's desire
I am the one to take you higher
I am your private hell, your sweetest smell
your constant, changing voice
I am your best advice, your darkest night
your silent, raging noise
I am, I am
I am, I am
Ease back into my embrace
Ease back let me touch your face
Ease back into my embrace
Ease back let me soothe your rage
I am your private hell, your sweetest smell
your constant, changing voice
I am your best advice, your darkest night
your silent, raging noise
I am your private hell, your sweetest smell
your constant, changing voice
I am your best advice, your darkest night
your silent, raging noise

I am, I am
I am, I am
