It hurts to not feel anything. It's like you're grieving but it's not sinking in.

Sixpence,

Sixpence None the Richer, often just called "Sixpence," is an awesome pop/rock band originating from New Braunfels, Texas, before making it big in Nashville, Tennessee. Their name comes from a cool passage in C.S. Lewis' book "Mere Christianity." You gotta check them out because their 1999 self-titled album is a gem! It's a beautiful blend of melodic Christian rock and the groovy vibes of 60s British invasion music that makes you want to dance.

The band's core duo, Matt Slocum, the talented guitarist and songwriter, and Leigh Nash, an amazing vocalist, first crossed paths at a church retreat in the early '90s. Fast forward to 1997, they signed with Steve Taylor's Squint Entertainment, gearing up for the release of their self-titled album, which gradually started catching the ears of a bigger audience.

Then came the magic of "Kiss Me" in 1999, catapulting Sixpence None the Richer into the national pop scene. And guess what? That hit tune was even featured in the romantic comedy 'She's All That'! A total must-watch, by the way!

But they didn't stop there! The band's cover of The La's song "There She Goes" in the following year became another smash hit. They included it as a bonus 13th track on their already awesome self-titled album, which had several releases. Sixpence None the Richer truly knows how to rock and captivate audiences!

In the year 2004, in February the band announced their disbandment. But let me tell you, that news didn't dampen my love for their music one bit! Their songs became my solace, my sanctuary, each melody carrying its beautiful message. Born in 2003, I practically grew up with their tunes as the soundtrack to my life even though they disbanded a year later I was born. And you know what? It was all thanks to my parents and my mom's best friend, my beloved aunt, who had impeccable taste in music. Their influence shaped my musical journey.

I can't help but admit that listening to Sixpence None the Richer's music feels like a warm hug from a cozy cloud. It's like being whisked away into a dreamy garden bursting with colorful butterflies, buzzing bees, and fragrant blossoms, twirling under the golden rays of sunlight. It's pure magic; their melodies breathe life into my soul, sparking a vibrant energy within me. And hey, as I'm about to turn 21 in just 15 days, reminiscing about their songs feels like taking a stroll down memory lane. It's nostalgia hitting me in the best possible way.

Their music isn't just tunes to me; it's a tapestry woven with threads of joy and heartfelt memories. Through the highs and lows of life, it feels like Sixpence None the Richer has been by my side, a steadfast companion. They've become my haven, my go-to whenever life gets tough or when I just want to relive moments filled with happiness.

So here I am, forever grateful for the impact their music has had on me. With every note, they've etched themselves into my life, making me feel like I'm floating on cloud nine, dancing through life's beautiful moments. Sixpence None the Richer isn't just a band; they're my timeless comfort and my everlasting musical haven.
