Third Eye Blind Biography

The first time I ever heard of Third Eye Blind was of course that wonderful year of 1997 when they played "Semi-Charmed Life" over and over again. If I didn't like it so much I would have probably been pissed that it got so much air play. But anyway, after I finally found out the name of the band, I went out and got the CD. And I immediately fell in love with it. I have a bad habit of buying a CD and never listening to the whole thing but as it happened I put 3eb in my CD player and sat on the other side of the room and didn't feel like turning it off, not that I needed to because I was loving every song on the entire album. So now I go through having a different favorite 3eb song every week or so and just wait and wait until I get to see them live again. "Semi-Charmed Life", "How's It Going to Be" and "Losing A Whole Year" get a lot of air play around here. "Graduate" did for a while but not much anymore. I love hearing 3eb on the radio and just the other day I noticed that they play 3eb a lot. So much, that if I didn't like 3eb, I'd be pissed they play so much of it. But obviously, that isn't the case. I suppose what I love most about 3eb is the way the music touches me. I know it comes from a real place. There's something inexplicable about it. It reaches into the depths of your souls and touches on your every fear and joy to the point where it hurts so much it feels good. It comes crashing into your life and forces your mind to places you didn't know existed and holds you there suspended in time feeling every single beat. The music has an amazing capability of capturing a certain moment in time or the frame of mind you were in and holds it locked in that song so that every time you hear it, it invades your mind and body and soul and you can't escape it and you know it's real and that it will forever be there. Forever.
