Broudie and Rogers formed the act as the "perfect pop project", and Lightning Seeds broke through in 1989 with the psychedelic synth pop hit, "Pure", which made the UK Top 20 and was a minor hit on US pop radio and a major success on US alternative radio. In the 1990s Lightning Seeds became one of the most popular and enterprising of the era. The 1995 album Jollification was a critical masterpiece, spawning several successful singles. In 1996, Lightning Seeds provided the music and production for the official England anthem for the Euro '96 football tournament. The lyrics were written and sung by comedians Frank Skinner and David Baddiel, and the song, "Three Lions", went straight into the charts at number one.
Since the release of 1999's Tilt the act has taken a back seat as Broudie concentrated on producing the works of others. However, in 2006, Broudie reformed the band with a selection of new members, releasing a Very Best Of album, and performing a number of tour dates. In 2009, the band released Four Winds, their first album in 10 years.

The Lightning Seeds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
it's got a name but I prefer to call it nameless.
It comes and goes leaves me on a bed of splinters,
feels like I'm living in a town closed down for winter.
The taste of Love,
the more you get, the more you want,
and all because,
It all makes Sense,
when you're near
it all makes Sense.
I'm standing high on tiptoes looking over fences,
waiting for somebody like you to kiss me Senseless.
I've had a bellyfull of faces drawn in sadness,
I want to jump deep into tides of loving madness.
The Lightning Seeds' song "Sense" talks about the overwhelming feelings of love and the effect it has on a person's mind and body. The first verse of the song describes the euphoric feeling one gets from being in love, but also the confusion and uncertainty that comes with it. The use of the word "nameless" emphasizes the inexplicable nature of the emotion. The line "living in a town closed down for winter" represents the isolation one might feel when consumed by love, and the feeling of being disconnected from the rest of the world.
The chorus of the song further explores the theme of love and its effect on us. The "taste of love" is addictive and makes us want more. The line "the only reason is just because" suggests that there might not be any logical explanation for why we crave love so much. It's a feeling that just makes sense to us when we have it in our lives, and we can only fully comprehend it when we're near the person we love.
The second verse of the song talks about the longing for love and the desire to be with someone who makes us feel complete. The line "waiting for somebody like you to kiss me senseless" conveys the idea that being with the right person can leave us feeling overwhelmed with joy and unable to think clearly. The final line of the song, "I want to jump deep into tides of loving madness," sums up the intense emotions associated with love, while also acknowledging the risk involved.
Overall, the song "Sense" is a beautiful exploration of the highs and lows of being in love. It captures the overwhelming feeling of falling for someone and the desire to be completely consumed by that feeling.

Sentido
Estoy volando alto en algo hermoso y sin rumbo
Tiene un nombre, pero prefiero llamarlo sin nombre
Viene y va me deja en una cama de astillas
Parece que estoy viviendo en una ciudad cerrada para el invierno
El sabor del amor
Cuanto más se obtiene, más se quiere
Y todo porque
La única razón es sólo porque
Todo tiene sentido
Cuando estés cerca
Todo tiene sentido
Estoy de pie alto de puntillas mirando por encima de las vallas
Esperando a que alguien como tú me bese sin sentido
He tenido un vientre lleno de caras dibujadas de tristeza
Quiero saltar profundamente en las mareas de la locura amorosa
