Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer cover
This song is still played literally everywhere in the UK. It’s in the ether, on the radio, in supermarkets, on TV. You might not consciously clock it, but your brain does. That’s exactly what makes it stick, and that’s why nineties cover band Britpop Reunion play it live.
Written by Matt Slocum and released in 1999 from the band’s self-titled album, Kiss Me reached number four in the UK Singles Chart. It’s one of those tracks that sounds deceptively simple on the surface, gentle guitar, warm vocals, unhurried tempo yet it absolutely fills a room when played live. There’s a real magic to it that doesn’t fade no matter how many times people hear it.
The story behind how Kiss Me became a phenomenon is worth looking up if you’ve never heard it. Sixpence None the Richer were a relatively unknown American Christian rock band before this track exploded globally. The song had actually been shelved before a TV placement gave it a second life and from there it became inescapable. That kind of accidental ubiquity is rare, and it says a lot about the song itself.
Kiss Me as a first dance song
Kiss Me is about as close to the perfect first dance song as the nineties produced. Soft enough to feel genuinely romantic, well-known enough that every single person in the room recognises it immediately, and just left-field enough to feel like a real choice rather than a default. If you’re planning a 90s themed wedding, it belongs on your shortlist without question.
Britpop Reunion have performed Kiss Me at 90s weddings and private events for years. It never fails. Guests who thought they’d just watch suddenly find themselves on the dancefloor before the first chorus is done. That’s the power of a song that’s genuinely embedded itself into a generation’s memory without anyone really noticing it happening.
