Biography

Comprised of brothers Prince Be (Attrell Cordes) and DJ Minute Mix (Jarrett Cordes), the early-'90s group P.M. Dawn straddled the gap between hip-hop and smooth '70s-style soul, creating an innovative r&b that owed as much to pop as it did to rhythm and blues. The brothers recorded their debut single, "Ode to a Forgetful Mind," in 1988, but P.M. Dawn didn't release a full-length album until 1991. The record, Of the Heart, of the Soul, and of the Cross: The Utopian Experience, was an immediate hit, thanks to the single "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss," which sampled Spandau Ballet's new wave hit "True." Both the album and the single received glowing reviews, as did the 1993 follow-up, The Bliss Album...?, which featured the hit singles "I'd Die Without You" and "Looking Through Patient Eyes." In 1995, P.M. Dawn returned with Jesus Wept, which received strong reviews but weak sales. Dearest Christian I'm So Very Sorry for Bringing You Here. Love Dad followed in 1998; by this time, the group had virtually dropped out of sight as a commercial force, even though most corners continued to praise the artistic quality of their work. A greatest-hits compilation, The Best of P.M. Dawn, appeared in the summer of 2000. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

    Lyrics
    Is it my turn to wish you were lying here?
    I tend to dream you when I'm not sleeping
    Is it my turn to fictionalize my world?
    Or even imagine your emotions, tell myself anything
    Is it my turn to hold you by your hands?

    Lyrics
    Whatever it is I do, I try to think about you
    I have a love for you that nothing hides
    Whatever it is I do, I'm only thinking of you
    I hope you look at me through patient eyes
    I've become amused, I've become blind
