In July 2000 they toured Canada as part of YTV's PsychoBlast Tour, supporting Christina Aguilera and also headlining the Canadian tour in 2001. In Fall of 2000 they toured along with Destiny's Child, as support act for Christina Aguilera's "Genie in a Bottle Tour" throughout North America. They were the support act for NSYNC on the Eastern North America dates of Leg 2 of the "No Strings Attached Tour" in 2000.
After promotion and touring for their first album had completed, soulDecision went on a long hiatus which resulted in a big change in line-up. In 2004, Dave Bowman left the band, and three additions took place to the band: James Reid (guitar), Tino Zulfo (bass) and Terepai Richmond (drums). Before the release of their second album, 'Shady Satin Drug', the band claimed that their original line-up was badly influenced by the record company, given a marketing-based image that they didn't agree with.
With the album being released on lead singer Trevor Guthrie's record label, Sextant Records, the band was allowed more artistic freedom over their work. The album subsequently was released in Canada only in October 26, 2004 although it was available for purchase online through their official website. With "Shady Satin Drug", the band moved towards a more upbeat and danceable sound that was more similar to their hit single, "Faded". The band became marketed more as credible musicians rather than as a pop band, as seen by their music video "Kiss The Walls". While the band received major airplay with their single, "Kiss The Walls", the album sales were significantly low only selling 10,000 copies.
Since then, soulDecision have disbanded with lead singer Trevor Guthrie announcing a solo career.
So Strong
SoulDecision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're never gonna see my heart this way
It's never gonna be like yesterday
When everything was so new
And the sunshine poured all over you
And lit your sleeping face
Something I wish I could erase
Now that everything has gone wrong
I tried my best
Might as well have let that slide
What I had to give
Was never meant to be by your side
And I guess, well I knew
But baby I still feel the sting
In my walls of steel that now don't hold a thing
So baby say goodbye
You're never gonna see my heart this way
It's never gonna be like yesterday
When everything was so new
And the sunshine poured all over you
And lit your sleeping face
Something I wish I could erase
Now that everything has gone wrong
But still I'm trying to be so strong
I tried so hard
Hoping you'd believe in me
But I was such a fool
You just needed to be free
I wish you could have seen
Maybe I might have been right
From a point of view
In a different light, so baby
Say goodbye
You're never gonna see my heart this way
It's never gonna be like yesterday
When everything was so new
And the sunshine poured all over you
And lit your sleeping face
Something I wish I could erase
Now that everything has gone wrong
And still I'm tryin' to be so strong
Don't think I didn't get
The way that you feel
But I let my heart concede
That this might be
For real
Say goodbye
You're never gonna see my heart this way
It's never gonna be like yesterday
When everything was so new
And the sunshine poured all over you
And lit your sleeping face
Something I wish I could erase
Now that everything has gone wrong
And I'm tryin' to be so strong
The song 'So Strong' by SoulDecision is a heart-wrenching ballad of a person trying to cope with the end of a relationship. The lyrics reflect the singer's recognition that the relationship can no longer be salvaged and that they must accept that it's over. The opening lines "Say goodbye, You're never gonna see my heart this way" sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the singer declares that they will no longer allow themselves to be vulnerable in a relationship. The singer realizes that things will never go back to the way they were in the beginning and that the relationship must end. The line "It's never gonna be like yesterday" symbolizes that the relationship cannot be revived, no matter how hard they try.
The next few lines describe the happier times in the relationship when everything was perfect and how the singer wishes they could erase the pain of the breakup. The lines "And the sunshine poured all over you And lit your sleeping face Something I wish I could erase" emphasize that the singer wants to forget the past and move on. However, the following lines "Now that everything has gone wrong But still, I'm trying to be so strong" depict the singer's struggle to deal with their emotions and maintain a brave front.
In the final stanza, the singer reveals their realization that the relationship was not meant to be, and they saw it coming. However, they still hoped that things would work out. The lines "But I was such a fool You just needed to be free" suggest that the singer misjudged the situation and held on for too long. Still, they try to come to terms with the breakup by acknowledging that it's time to say goodbye and "be so strong."
