Current members of SBL are Singer/Songwriter Geri Soriano-Lightwood and Multi-Instrumentalist/Programmer Ramin Sakurai. SBL was formed from the remains of the band Oversoul 7 in 1998 when they signed to Palm Pictures.

In 1996, Oversoul 7 came together as members Geri Soriano-Lightwood, Ramin Sakurai, (Bassist)) Kiran Shahani, and (Guitarist) Rick Torres released "Nothing Like Tomorrow" and "What's the Deal" on two compilations on the Moonshine Music dance label. After the Moonshine releases, Oversoul 7 signed a demo deal with A&M records recording demos of "Truth From Fiction", "Never the Same", and "Last Girl on Earth", all songs which ended up on the now classic "Supreme Beings of Leisure" debut album (released on Palm Pictures label).

The release of the first Supreme Beings of Leisure album sold over 250,000 units with very little promotional touring. Instead, SBL opted to use the internet to market and promote the album, becoming the first band ever to do a "Virtual Internet Tour", and was among the first to use Flash animation for their videos, making them the first true "Internet Band" of the new millennium.

After the release of their debut album, the group disbanded. The core duo of Soriano-Lightwood and Sakurai, however, released the second SBL album "Divine Operating System" shortly thereafter in 2002. In 2003, SBL left Palm Pictures, taking a three year hiatus, releasing various remixes and appearing on various other artists' albums. In 2006, Supreme Beings of Leisure started writing material which coalesced into a new album, the highly anticipated 11i.

So Much More
Supreme Beings of Leisure Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come with me through the hills and valleys
Say you'll be an explorer for me
Say you'll see the shore for me
So you're free, just take my hand
So you're free and take my hand

I get lost in you music, your song
I am longing to be

I get lost in you music, your song
I am longing to be

I have nothing to offer but love, can't you see?
You are you, I'm me but we
We are so much more, so much more

Ship sets sail across a murky ocean
Bright colored tails that shine
Across all space and time
So you're free, just take my hand
So you're free and take my hand

I get lost in you music, your song
I am longing to be
I get lost in you music, your song
I am longing to be

I have nothing to offer but love, can't you see?
You are you, I'm me but we
We are much so more, so much more, so much more

I get lost in you music, your song
I am longing to be
I get lost in you music, your song
I am longing to be

I have nothing to offer but love, can't you see?
You are you, I'm me but we
We are so much more

I get lost in you music, your song
I am longing to be
I get lost in you music, your song
I am longing to be

I have nothing to offer but love, can't you see?

You are, you are and me but we
We are so much more

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "So Much More" is a love song about two people who are just starting to explore the world together. The opening lines, "Come with me through the hills and valleys, Say you'll be an explorer for me, Say you'll see the shore for me, So you're free, just take my hand" seem to be an invitation from one lover to the other to join them on a journey of exploration. The lover encourages their partner to take their hand and come along so they can experience the world together.

The chorus of the song repeats the line "I get lost in your music, your song, I am longing to be" which suggests that the lovers are entranced by each other's company and they find solace in their partner's presence. The line "I have nothing to offer but love, can't you see?" shows that the lover is attempting to express that their love is the only thing they can give, nothing materialistic. The line "You are you, I'm me but we, We are so much more, so much more" shows that although two people are different, together they are greater than themselves.

The second verse describes a journey the lovers are taking together on a ship, "Ship sets sail across a murky ocean, Bright-colored tails that shine, Across all space and time". This metaphor of the ship shows the uncertainties the two might face along the way but they are willing to face them together. Ultimately, the message of the lyrics is that love is enough to make this journey enjoyable, worthwhile, and extraordinary.
