soul one

This caught me by surprise. I have never thought there's an existing song entitled "soul one" from Blind melon. woah!
Soul one was included in their new and final album, "NICO." I am not really sure if the album was released here in the country during that time. It was also said that "soul one" was the first song ever composed by Rogers Stevens (guitarist) and Brad Smith (bassist) for the group. Nico, on the other hand, is a gift for Shannon Hoon's daughter Nico Blue, who was 13 and a half weeks old during the time her Dad died.

"Soul one" appeals a little bit soppy, for me. But one can't deny how striking the lines are, like, "Should of never taken the time/'Cause I found myself living a lonely lie /You said, you left to find yourself /But I never, no I never got the chance to say good-bye."

and, "She was my soul one/I though she was......."

The song is a complete achievement for Smith and Stevens , for capturing the feeling the song wanted to imply.

Here is the complete lyrics of the song "Soul one." Now, bleed... hehehe.

Soul one -Blind melon

How come, girl was there when I needed one
How come, girl was there when the song is done
Some say, open your eyes to a brighter light
Okay, open my arms they were right

She was my soul one
She felt she was the only one
She was the sun, the sky blue eyes
She was my soul one

Inside, pain in my heart often made her cry
Outside, I cursed the birds and the sugar sky
How long take to realize she's the one
How long until I find my lost and lonely soul one

She was my soul one
She felt like the only one
She was the sun, the sky blue eyes
She was my soul one

Should of never taken the time
'Cause I found myself living a lonely lie
You said, you left to find yourself
But I never, no I never got the chance to say good-bye

She was my soul one I though she was.....
