WHOA!| FIRST TIME HEARING Sixpence None The Richer - Kiss Me REACTION

[@nancymunroe3672]

The name of the band Sixpence None the Richer comes from a book by C. S. Lewis called Mere Christianity.[5] A little boy asks his father if he can get a sixpence-a very small amount of English currency in use at the time-to go and get a gift for his father. The father gladly accepts the gift and he's really happy with it, but he also realizes that he's not any richer for the transaction. C.S. Lewis was comparing that to his belief that God has given him, and us, the gifts that we possess, and to serve him the way we should, we should do it humbly-realizing how we got the gifts in the first place.

[@btgiv6009]

The best 90s band name -- and a fantastic band musically, as well -- was Toad the Wet Sprocket. "Good Intentions", "Walk on the Ocean", and "All I Want" are all awesome songs.

[@Lovejazz01]

Thanks for the information, never knew that until now!

[@johnjsal]

I'm not sure I understand the analogy. Anyone care to explain how the comparison makes sense?

[@triggerwarning5762]

​@@johnjsalGod has given us everything, so tithes and offerings to God are just returning a portion of what was His anyway. Just like a child who buys his father a tie with the money his father gave him.

[@Cadinho93]

This song is perfectly used in the movie "She's All That" (1999). Also, it's possibly the greatest "sappy" love song of all time. I never get tired of hearing this song and this is one of those magical songs that make you feel something or remember a memory that never existed.

[@SaintPhoenixx]

It definitely takes me back to the 90s when I was a kid and everything was good. It might not be the greatest song ever written, but I never get tired of it. It makes me smile and sometimes that's all I want from a song.

[@chrisjamieson3452]

The song has a better effect, with the video of scenes from the movie. The movie was an absolute classic as far as teen / romance movies.

[@chernobyl68]

I fell in love with Rachel Leigh Cook from this song lol

[@CrayCruz]

It does remind me of a lovely girl I fell in love with 1,000 years ago when I first laid eyes on her...Joann, she was 17 and I was 19. I'm 70 now. I met her in 1973 and this song was released in the 90s, and yet it reminds me of her sweet soul and kind-hearted ways. Like the song and the singer soft, airy and sweet. Swing, swing!

[@luziferschadenfreudevonhol8487]

The song was also included on Dawson's Creek's first soundtrack in April 1999, which is where I know it from.

[@mikeschwagel]

I'm a grunge guy 100%. But this is one of my favorites from the 90s. It always hits me in the feels. With that said. If you like that now you should hear their song There She Goes. Another beautiful 90s song. Sung by a beautiful voice.

Origin of the band's name from Wikipedia Vocalist Leigh Nash described the origin of the band's name on the Late Show with David Letterman: It comes from a book by C. S.

[@jameskearney4100]

Brilliant!!!

[@floyd2222]

found this as well: "Sixpence is a pre-decimalisation UK coin worth six pence or half a shilling, a small amount of money. “ Sixpence none the richer” is an idiom that means to have engaged in an unprofitable endeavour. Literally not even sixpence richer than before.

[@robertmoraga1501]

Amen!

[@chrisclanton4430]

Very well said. I've read "Mere Christianity", it was a great read. But I don't remember much it's been so over 20 years ago.

[@claresmith-hill9417]

A sixpence was 2 and a half pence in old money before the UK decimalised in the early 70's. The coin was used and a UK 5 pence looks similar. I got a sixpence for my pocket money when I was 5 years old in 1975.

[@deathsurge666]

This reminds me of a perfect 90’s band (maybe for female Friday because the singer) is The Sundays. “Here’s Where The Story Ends” will break your heart, and “Summertime” is a perfect end of Summer song.

[@davidhuggan6315]

I loved the Sundays. I also think of Dubstar and Saint Etienne.

[@chriswhinery925]

Their cover of Wild Horses is also excellent.

[@modaud358]

I was about to suggest the same! Love them, and Harriet Wheeler's voice! I would only add, from an earlier album (1989), the song "Can't Be Sure".

[@Xiroi87]

Yesss love The Sundays. A Goodbye is one of my faves. It used to be my ringtone back when we could start using real songs instead of computer sounds.

[@ReadingRambo152]

YES!

[@joannecunliffe8067]

Sorry - missed your post. I love their version of "There She Goes" better than the La's version. I'd love to know a bit more about their official video for "There She Goes" - like what the story means (of the little cello player girl) and I absolutely love the artwork behind the band as well.

[@davidhuggan6315]

If they are going to react to There She Goes, it's better to listen to the original by The La's. Otherwise it would be like listening to Mr Tamborine Man but choosing the William Shatner version 🙂

[@scottNNJ]

One of the examples of a remake surpassing the original. Maybe not as much as Jimi Hendrix’s “Watchtower” surpasses Bob Dylan’s, or that Aerosmith’s “Come Together” surpasses the Beatles’ classic, but that’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it. (Now I’m going to dodge the rotten tomatoes being hurled at me)

[@MichaelHHHH]

I also love their cover of Don't Dream It's Over, originally done by Crowded House. I love both versions actually lol.

[@anniemoran1]

Agree completely! It’s a brilliant song in both versions. The first time I heard the Crowded House original version I got such a Beatles feel from it. Went on to become quite a fan of Crowded House.

[@BK_gamer_]

This song, Len's "Steal My Sunshine" and Natalie Imbruglia's version of "Torn" take me back to the '90s in a way no other songs do. I'm glad you enjoyed this. Now I hope you watch "She's All That."

[@luckyleprechaun-e7h]

I am right with you on those 90's songs, and how they take me back. I would also add "closing time" by semisonic to that list. that was such a time in my young adult life. it was a better time in the world it would seem to me. but then again, I was younger so of course it seemed better. thanks for posting.

My core group of friends as a teenager were all into nu metal and hard rock, stuff like that. None of us were supposed to like this song, but one day it came on in my buddies car on the radio and it turned out we all knew the words and started singing along lol. It was hilarious realizing we all had secretly liked this song lol

Sixpence also had a completely different (black & white) video for this song - a Paris version - which featured Leigh (singer), Matt (guitarist, lyricist) and Dale (drummer) biking around Paris. It was an homage to French filmmaker Francois Truffaut and his film 'Jules et Jim'. Very charming. Check it out.

This band was hired to be the praise band for my church's youth sleep away camp one week circa like summer of 1999 or 2000. They were so down to earth and cool. They did some really cool acapella beat box type stuff kinda like Pentatonix later would do. They do a great cover of How Soon Is Now iirc as well. I'm so glad you covered them!

Became a massive hit was used as main song in teen coming of age film She's All That, and was used in Dawson's Creek TV Show. Great melodic pop song with earworm hook.

[@bradparnell614]

I love this band. I first saw them on a Christian music video channel and bought their album and then a few years later I saw them in person doing a tour of Christian book stores with a short acoustic set. One of the songs they did was "Kiss Me" from their then, newest album. As soon as I heard it I thought this had hit written all over it. Sure enough, a few months later it was re-released to a wider audience and then put in a movie and it became as big a hit as I expected. The teaming of musician/songwriter Matt Slocum and singer Leigh Nash has made many wonderful songs but this one just has the best hook of them all. At the bookstore I was able to talk to Leigh and she was as sweet in person as her voice would make you believe. I got to see them a year or so later with the full band at a bigger venue and they put on a fantastic show. I'm so glad you got to this group and hope to see you react to some other Christian bands from the 90s that crossed over into the mainstream as well like Jars of Clay, Switchfoot, and Lifehouse.

It’s a great movie and you should watch it on Friday. I love this song but there are some other great dance songs in it!

I'm somewhat jealous of my older brother for having great songs like this coming out while he was in high school. I was never one to spend much time at school dances, but that might have been different if the playlists were filled with '90s music -- Matchbox 20, Savage Garden, Goo Goo Dolls, etc.

Sixpence None the Richer (also known as Sixpence) is an American alternative rock band that formed in New Braunfels, Texas, and eventually settled in Nashville, Tennessee. They are best known for their songs "Kiss Me" and "Breathe Your Name" and their covers of "Don't Dream It's Over" and "There She Goes". The name of the band is inspired by a passage from the book Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis. The band received two Grammy Award nominations, Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for "Kiss Me" and Grammy Award for Best Rock Gospel Album for Sixpence None the Richer (1997). Vocalist Leigh Nash described the origin of the band's name on the Late Show with David Letterman: It comes from a book by C. S. Lewis called Mere Christianity. A little boy asks his father if he can get a sixpence-a very small amount of English currency in use at the time-to go and get a gift for his father. The father gladly accepts the gift and he's really happy with it, but he also realizes that he's not any richer for the transaction. C.S. Lewis was comparing that to his belief that God has given him, and us, the gifts that we possess, and to serve him the way we should, we should do it humbly-realizing how we got the gifts in the first place. Guitarist/songwriter Matt Slocum met Leigh Nash in the early 1990s. They recorded a demo, which circulates as "The Original Demos", with bassist T.J. Behling at Verge Music Works recording studio in Dallas, and eventually an album, The Fatherless and the Widow, for the independent label REX Music in 1993. After adding more members, the band toured in support of The Fatherless and The Widow. The band released This Beautiful Mess in 1995. In 1997, the group signed to Steve Taylor's label Squint Entertainment and released a self-titled album, which slowly began garnering attention from a wider audience in the mainstream industry. In 1998, "Kiss Me" was released as a single, propelling Sixpence None the Richer into the national pop spotlight. The next year, the band followed up "Kiss Me" with a cover of The La's' "There She Goes". Sixpence appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and numerous morning talk shows. The band had a follow-up album ready to release, but their label Squint Entertainment started to fall apart, leaving the band in limbo for several years. Finally, Squint Entertainment folded and that album, Divine Discontent, was released in October 2002. On February 26, 2004, Matt Slocum announced that the group had disbanded.

Hey Amber, you asked us to leave a comment about how Sixpence None the Richer got their name. The band actually got their name from a passage in C.S. Lewis's book 'Mere Christianity.' In the book, Lewis writes about a scenario where a poor family gives their last sixpence to a child as a gift, emphasizing the idea of giving generously even when you have little.

A band that epitomizes the 90s for me -- with Harriet Wheeler's stunning voice and those jangly guitars -- is The Sundays! Check out "Good Bye"... "Summertime" ... "She"... and the haunting, lovely "Monochrome".. about a historical event (see if you can guess what it is.)

OH MAN! This song IS my high school days. I feel young again! I was born in '80 so my childhood had ALL the glory of that era (movies, music, tv) and then my teens were so different and unique with all the 90s stuff (this song, Alanis Morrisette, Nirvana)... we were also the first generation to be 'latch key kids' - we had the tv as our babysitter. Movies/music/tv are my greatest passion; they molded me into who I turned out to be.

[@AdmiralDonkey]

As a kid growing up in the 90s I was very lucky to do a lot of travelling to different countries for holidays, and if there was a Planet Hollywood in the area (global restaurant chain similar to Hard Rock Cafe, mostly all gone now) we would always make a point in going. They always had a playlist of music videos and while there were quite a few songs, the playlist was always the same. There are a few songs that every time I hear it always takes me back to Planet Hollywood in some corner or the world, having an amazing time with my family. This song is one of them. Off the top of my head I can think of a few more. ‘Lovefool’ by The Cardigans, ‘There She Goes’ by The La’s, ‘Just A Girl’ by No Doubt, ‘Kung Fu Fighting’ by Carl Douglas, and the Ghostbusters theme by Ray Parker Jr. But this song probably evokes the strongest memories.

[@kwchalky02]

Its always been a song I liked and I liked the band too. The name of the group, as others have said, came from the writing of CS Lewis, the sixpence representing a small value coin. It was an interesting and much loved small silver coin. The old British currency system was divided into pounds , shillings and pence (the pence, being denoted by a d) So the sixpence was 6d. In 1971 a new decimal currency system, with new coins was introduced with 100 pence in the pound and new pence were denoted by a p instead of the old d. However the sixpence was retained and continued to be used in the new system until about 1980, but its value was 2.5p (£0.025). So the sixpence was 6d or 2.5p. Even although it was worth 2.5p in the new system, everyone continued to call it a "sixpence". I still have a few of them. 🙂

[@leomagitz2321]

I too love this song. Sixpence None The Richer was one of my favorite band in the 90's. They were considered a Christian band, and recorded a bunch of albums. They became known for this song, which was featured in the film She's All That. They had a couple other hits that were cover songs, including You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch.

[@trixier6505]

You commented on the accordion sounding beautiful in this song... One of my favorite songs with accordion is Marc Anthony's song "You Sang To Me". There are multiple versions of the song... The short "radio edit" version had much of the accordion part edited out. The longer versions have more. It comes in towards the end of the song.

one of my favorite bands, and one of my favorite songs FROM said band!! glad you enjoyed it.... strictly speaking, the fellar on the right end of the screen is playing an english concertina Concertinas are a group of instruments similar but distinct from accordions. The difference being that the buttons on a concertina operate parallel to the bellows of the instrument whereas the buttons of an accordion operate perpendicular to the bellows. The sound OF the concertina in the song is authentic (probably produced a bit in the study, but still).

Sixpence came to the area back in their heyday and did an appearance on a local radio morning show. Leigh had a cold, but did an acoustic version of this song that was amazing. What a great song. Thanks for the reaction.

There's this melancholic undertone to this song that I've always loved

[@truckrboat]

I don’t think I’ve seen you react to this but my favorite song from that era, by Anna Nalick “Breathe (2am). Definitely a great song

So I won't reiterate the name that so many have already commented about apart that it comes from a place of humbly giving what you have to God in terms of talents and gifts because God was the source of your talent or gift in the first place. I started with their debut album back in 1994 called The Fatherless and The Widow which was rather folk, acoustic, coffeehouse type alternative (key song: Trust). Their sound was way different with a more rock and artsy alternative on This Beautiful Mess released in 1995 (fave songs on that album: Love, Salvation & the Fear of Death; Within a Room Somewhere; Disconnect). Many of these would make for some good "female Friday" songs. Kiss Me was one of a couple of big hits on their '97 self-titled album along with a cover of "There She Goes". They had changed record companies from R.E.X. records on the first two to Squint Entertainment, a record label started and run by musician and songwriter Steve Taylor in 1997. Steve Taylor would also be an excellent unusual Christian artist to listen to some songs/albums.

Love this sign until this day

They call themselves an Alternative Contemporary Christain Group from Austin, Texas. "There She Goes" is another big song from them. From the same time period, how about Joan Osborne (not related to Ozzy) and her song "One Of Us" sometime. Thanks.😎

Anybody who ever fished ,hiked and camped with a lover loved this song. This was definitely a get in the mood song.

Hard not be happy after hearing this song. Been listening to this song for over 20 years and it still makes me happy.

[@phemyda94]

Man, I remember when you couldn't go an hour without hearing this on the radio! I still love it :)

[@icegypsy99]

Haven't heard this one in ages. Great song to listen to when you're getting ready in the morn. Love it

[@laurabrevitz3944]

For some reason, I put this song in the same category as Shivaree's "Goodnight Moon," even though the latter has a VERY different vibe, more suited for Halloween tbh. 😂 The vocalists have similar voices, I think. I liked both, but only bought Shivaree's CD ("I Oughta Give You a Shot in the Head for Making Me Live in This Dump" - I *TOLD* you it was a different vibe!! 😂😂😂).

[@nyxs1s266]

Oh my!! Sixpence none the richer! This song is on pretty much all feel good lists I make. Such a magical song!!! It can also be found in a VERY good Romeo and Juliet reboot with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes!

[@GoodStuffForeverMore]

I absolutely LOVE this song❣️ I must have heard it at least a million times by now😉 I NEVER tire of it. Enjoyed your reaction😍

[@mpwiedemann]

I've always had an appreciation for "well crafted pop" of all types, and this song is that.

[@stevetanner3019]

From the movie “She’s All That” with Freddie Prince Jr. And Rachael Leigh Cook. Total classic

[@CrisIder]

I don't know why, but whenever I hear Sixpence None The Richer, I remember Swing Out Sister. It would be interesting to hear "Kiss me" sung by Corinne Drewery (SOS) and "Break Out" sung by Leigh Nash (SNTR).

[@clintlandrum9498]

"Kiss me" a great little pop song. The lyrics. The vocals. The strummy guitar. Accordian! ... a pure pop song. A delight.

[@bubbajett6086]

THERE SHE GOES is a good one from em that really highlights her airy beautiful voice

[@darrenpyper9689]

there is a simplicity and gratitude, like 2 kindred spirits meeting

[@ZOSO900]

I first knew them from their cover of Dont Dream It's Over, which I might like even more than the original, but I love this song too, and Breathe Your Name, and There She Goes. Leigh Nash is an angel, with such a unique voice.

[@laurabryfogle7516]

Amazing song!!

[@barbaragaspar6948]

That type of accordion - my family calls it a concertina, my dad played one and called it a squeezebox. Good memories!

[@JackRazz1]

I had an absolute crush on this singer when I first saw this. 😍

[@jaemyrick5277]

Kiss Me is featured in the teen comedy from 1990, “She’s All That” . Clips from the movie are in this video. Yes that is Usher, he is in the movie along side. the two actors sitting on the bench with the band. Freddie Prinze, Jr. and Rachel Leigh Cook. Thanks for reacting to Kiss Me.
