So, I have posted about this song once before - on Totally Covered. And on there, I recounted the following:
True story - I saw Sixpence None The Richer opening for a Natalie-free 10,000 Maniacs at St. Bonaventure University in 1994. This was years before they had any hits - they were just a little Christian rock band. I enjoyed them an awful lot, and was really happy to see that they became big hitmakers.
Yes, I do have a signed copy of their first CD. Why do you ask?
Now, what would happen later is that the two central figures of the band - Leigh Nash and Matt Slocum - would briefly join 10,000 Maniacs. Which, well, is kind of cool. But the band was more than 2 people. They had a full band, and one of them was bassist Justin Cary. Cary died aged 50 after a stroke,
This song was a 1999 US pop hit - their 2nd trip to the top 40 and a bigger hit than the original version by The LA's.
