Unfortunately the cameraman rarely showed anyone but Leigh (probably not the only member of the crowd with a crush on her).As I recently tweeted, my top 25 song posts (previously Death Cab 2.5 years old, needs updating, Thrice, and Eisley ) have been getting a lot of reads lately.
Sixpence is my co-favorite band of all time, along with Poor Old Lu. I know all Sixpence songs backwards and forwards so this list will be filled with much more commentary. Without question, I have written more about Sixpence on my blog and on Medium than any band ever, including statistically my most popular essay I have ever written: Sixpence None the Richers This Beautiful Mess turns 20 I am working on an essay celebrating the 20th anniversary of Sixpences self-titled record, and it will be published on Medium in the fall. That essay will of course mention Kiss Me, but you will not find it here as it is not close to being one of Sixpences top 25 songs.) I have hope and a strong desire that the band will decide to do something to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the self-titled album (shows, Kickstarter for vinyl, or something like that), but even if they dont, I will do whatever I can to celebrate and draw attention to them. One of the fun things I have decided to do with these lists is attempt to find live videos online for each of the 25 songs. For Sixpence that has proven more difficult, but I did create a YouTube playlist of all 25 songs, some are just studio versions: In addition, I have a Sixpence 90s videos YouTube playlist that I created a couple years ago and add to whenever I find anything new. I am desperate to find audio or video of any Sixpence show from September of 1994 to July of 1995; please email me if you have any, or know of anyone who might I would literally pay a ton of money for a video copy of either Sixpences June 29, 1995 Cornerstone performance or their March 17, 1995 show at Calvin College. Before I jump into the songs themselves, it would be helpful to share the order I prefer Sixpences five studio albums: 1. This Beautiful Mess (My 1 album of 1995; my favorite, but Ill admit much of that is due to the rock style and nostalgia.). The only difference between the original version and the final release is that My Dear Machine was added. Sixpence also has released studio recordings of around 20 covers, half of which are on their Christmas album. And Sixpence has performed at least 10, maybe closer to 20, other covers live over the course of two decades. Finally, before the list, my friend Joel Heng Hartse has a dedicated Sixpence song blog, Songs that Explain, in which he has written at length about most of these songs. If you are a Sixpence fan you owe it to yourself to get lost there. My Dear Machine from 2008s My Dear Machine EP 2008 saw the return of Sixpence after they had broken up for about 5 years. Sixpence None The Richer Best Rar Free On NoiseTradeThe EP had four songs and was free on NoiseTrade for a short period of time. Sixpence None The Richer Best Rar For Free Download AgainIn my popular Open letter to Sixpence None the Richer, I posted the EP for free download again. Sixpences label at the time didnt like that, and it led to a friendly phone call from Matt Slocum asking me to take it down. Matt was receptive to the open letter though, and I would like to think it led to the radical improvement of Sixpences set lists that we saw in 2013 (I wrote about that and included a setlist here ). Sad But True from 1997s Sixpence None The Richer (vinyl bonus track) When I tell people I love Sixpence, they immediately think of the bands radio hits, which of course are radically different than most of the songs you see in this list. Dynasty warriors 6 empires iso pspSad But True was recorded for the self-titled album, but didnt make the CD release. Ruskin bond pdfWas initially only available on the vinyl version of that album (which is depressingly still the only Sixpence vinyl LP). Dont Blame Yourself from 2012s Lost in Transition I have written at length how disappointing this album was for me, as Sixpence transitioned into almost entirely short pop songs built around Leighs vocals. It was included as a B-side on the 2003 Dont Dream Its Over CD single. That lineup included Joel Bailey on bass and Tess Wiley on guitar and background vocals.
