P.M. Dawn recorded their debut single, "Ode to a Forgetful Mind", in 1988. Their first album, Of the Heart, of the Soul and of the Cross: The Utopian Experience, was released in 1991 to critical acclaim, and was an immediate commercial success driven by its single "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss". Their 1993 follow-up, The Bliss Album...? (Vibrations of Love and Anger and the Ponderance of Life and Existence), featuring the hit singles "I'd Die Without You" and "Looking Through Patient Eyes", was also praised by critics. P.M. Dawn continued to receive strong reviews with their subsequent albums, Jesus Wept (1995) and Dearest Christian, I'm So Very Sorry for Bringing You Here. Love, Dad (1998), despite their poor sales.[2]
