Breathe Your Name - by Sixpence None the Richer

Awesome song.  Period.     .
Sixpence None the Richer (or 'abbreviated', Sixpence) is based out of Austin, TX.  Their story started in 1989 when guitarist Matt Slocum & singer Leigh Nash met - he heard her sing when she was 13, & they released "Original Demo's" in 1993.  They ('they' were a trio at that point, with bassist T.J. Behling) were then signed to R.E.X. Records, & released "The Fatherless & the Widow" on April 26th, 1994.  They released 2 more LP's on R.E.X. before switching through a number of labels.  They broke into the mainstream with their '98 song "Kiss Me" & the song has since appeared in numerous spots.  In 2004, after 5 total LP's, they broke up, & Leigh Nash had her own successful solo career.  However, they re-united in 2007 & they released the EP "My Dear Machine" on July 8th, 2008 (& it was available for free on Noisetrade until 2009, apparently…).  They are now Nash, Slocum, & bassist Justin Cary, & they are releasing an album sometime this spring.  This song is from their 5th album "Divine Discontent", released Oct. 29th, 2002.
