	Sixpence None the Richer - Music
		The story of Sixpence None the Richer is the tale of two remarkable people who both embraced culture and sought to shake it, leaving an indelible mark on the face of pop music.
		Though many artists had sacrificed either their faith or their art for the sake of commercial success, Sixpence maintained a rare combination of artistic integrity and steadfast conviction in the wake of mass appeal, all the while unashamedly presenting a philosophy of faith that often left the watching world speechless.
		Revealing Sixpence's spiritual bent are such fan favorites as the Psalmic "Trust (Reprise)" from The Fatherless and the Widow; the atmospheric, quizzical opening to This Beautiful Mess, "Angeltread;" and Divine Discontent's "Melody of You," which climatically marries the group's streams of artistry, belief and pop appeal.

		It was in the spring of 2000 that Sixpence returned to the studio to begin recording new material.
		In the interim, Sixpence None The Richer continued the creative evolution that has defined its sound over the course of their previous three albums.
		From the evidence of Divine Discontent, the lesson to be learned from Sixpence's infectious and accessible sound is that great pop music can carry real time messages of love and loss, fear and faith, both personal and universal.

	Sixpence None The Richer
		Sixpence None the Richer are just one of a long, storied tradition in music-- the overnight sensation that had been toiling away in obscurity on the sidelines for years.
		Sixpence -- which is made up of singer Leigh Nash, guitarist/songwriter Matt Slocum and drummer Dale Baker, -- had recorded three albums (The Fatherless and The Widow, This Beautiful Mess and Tickets For A Prayer Wheel) that had been popular in the Christian rock community, but had not crossed over to a secular audience.
		That all changed in early 1999, when almost two years after the single "Kiss Me" was released, it was tapped as the theme of the comedy She's All That and became the catchiest single to inundate the summer airwaves.

	Mark Joseph on Sixpence None The Richer on National Review Online
		The alt/pop-rock outfit Sixpence None The Richer's most recent offering, Divine Discontent — particularly one track on the record, called "Melody of You" — is one such example.
		The tension between Sixpence being a band enjoyed by NPR-listening Volvo drivers, as versus one cheered on by TRL-loving fans who caught the act on Dawson's Creek or on the Felicity senior-year soundtrack, is still in play.
		What has always made Sixpence None The Richer a rare gem has been the uncanny ability Slocum has to write songs that seem to have sprung from Nash's heart, and Nash's equally uncanny ability to make his words her own.

		While Sixpence was working on a follow-up album, Squint encountered financial problems of their own and essentially fell apart, leaving the band in limbo once again.
		It may not be the most original or artistic of Sixpence's works - I do miss the jittery guitar strums of their early works and Matt Slocum's cello playing at times - but where they experiment with new sounds and try to break out of being just another pop/rock act, they succeed with flying colors.
		I wish Sixpence had done a better job of transitioning between chorus and verse on this one - there are times when different pieces of the song seem lazily slapped together.

		Sixpence None the Richer will release their fourth album, Divine Discontent, on October 29th.
		If the length of the layoff comes as a surprise, it's testament to the legs of Sixpence None the Richer's flagship singles, "Kiss Me" and their cover of the La's' "There She Goes," which have become omnipresent summer staples years after their release.
		Sixpence hope the record, which was co-produced by Slocum with Paul Fox (10,000 Maniacs, XTC) will perhaps go deeper than the two singles that have been mercilessly flogged by summer radio and movie trailers.

		In due time, Sixpence followed that success with its cover of the La's hit "There She Goes," adding an eleventh-hour recording of the song to its soon-to-be platinum-selling project. Establishing Sixpence as a legitimate "Breakthrough Artist," according to RandR Magazine, the song became a Top 10 pop single and video in its own right.
		Sixpence's final studio album, 2002's Divine Discontent, recorded the band's struggle to come to terms with the obligations of its commercial success.
		After asking where the band's name came from, Letterman teasingly interrupted Nash to ask if he could stop by her hotel room after the show. Nash's blank silence stopped him cold, chastening him into an apology. With that, she proceeded to finish her story.

	Straight Dope Staff Report: What's the nursery rhyme "Sing a Song of Sixpence" all about?
		It was not uncommon in the 16th century for a chef to hide surprises in the dinner pie; this is also reflected in the nursery rhyme "Little Jack Horner" (of which more later).
		So the most obvious explanation of "Sing a Song of Sixpence" is that it reflected an actual practice--baking a pie full of live birds that popped out when the pie was opened.
		However, the section of Snopes called "lost legends" starts with the warning that those "legends" require suspension of disbelief, and not letting "the truth get in the way of a good story." In short, those stories are false, they are made up, they are jokes.
