Sonia Dada is a Chicago-based rock/soul/rhythm and blues band, which tours with anywhere from six to eight members. The band formed in 1990, when founding member Daniel Pritzker heard three future members (Michael Scott, Paris Delane, and Sam Hogan) singing in a subway station.[1] Sonia Dada has become a mainstay of the Chicago musical scene in the years since, incorporating elements of rock, soul, gospel, and funk.

Their 1992 debut album, Sonia Dada, produced a minor radio hit, "You Don't Treat Me No Good", and sold more than 100,000 copies.[1] The album peaked at #29 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart in 1993.[1] In 1994, the band's tour saw them opening for the group Traffic, as well as headlining an extremely successful Australian tour.[1] The album reached #1 on the Australian ARIA charts and was the #13 highest selling album for the year of 1993. [2] The single "You Don't Treat Me No Good" was a #1 hit and the #3 highest selling single for the same year, while "You Aint Thinking (About Me)" was #40. [3] However, they are known primarily as a one-hit wonder there.[4]

Since then, Sonia Dada has released four studio albums and a live album. Their 2004 release, Test Pattern, was released in a deluxe edition with a bonus DVD containing short films by Jeth Weinrich.[1]

    Temple

    by: Sonia Dada

    ANGELS DO NOT FOLLOW ME
    AND THE SUN DON'T ALWAYS SHINE
    CAN'T ALWAYS COUNT ON YOUR MOTHER'S LOVE
    WHEN THE TURNING WORLD
    UNFURLS UNKIND
    NEITHER FAITH NOR REASON
    SAVE ME FROM THE FIRE
    AND WHO BUT WHO'S GONNA SAVE MY ASS
    WHEN IT'S HANGIN' OUT ON THE WIRE
    SOME PEOPLE TRUST FAITH
    SOME PEOPLE TRUST REASON
    I BELIEVE WHAT I SEE IN THE LIGHT IN THE NIGHT
    AND THE CHANGIN' SEASON
    IN THE TEMPLE OF MY MOTHER'S FAITH
    IN A TEMPLE THAT MY MIND REPLACED
    'CAUSE A TEMPLE MADE OF STONE
    AIN'T NO SAINT GONNA SHOW
    WALK ON WATER WALK ON AIR
    WALK IN SOMEONE ELSE'S SHOES
    WALK ON DOWN THE ROAD AWHILE
    WALKIN' WITH THE WALKIN' BLUES
    I HAVE CRIED IN FRUSTRATION
    WRESTLED WITH DESIRE
    AIN'T NOBODY EVER HEAR MY PRAYER
    AND SET MY SOUL ON FIRE
    SOME PEOPLE TRUST FAITH
    SOME PEOPLE TRUST REASON
    SOME PEOPLE NEED TO BELIEVE
    WHAT THEY NEED
    AND THEN THEY BELIEVE SOME
    I THINK ABOUT MY MOTHER'S FAITH
    IN THE TEMPLE THAT MY MIND REPLACED
    'CAUSE A TEMPLE MADE OF STONE
    AIN'T NO SAINT GONNA SHOW
    STARS AND SATELLITES
    FALLING THRU' THE OPEN SKY
    RANDOM AND COLLIDING
    JUST LIKE CHANGES IN OUR LIVES
    LOSING FAITH ALONE INSIDE OURSELVES
    REACHING OUT FOR SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
    TO BELIEVE
    WAKE ME WHEN IT'S OVER ANGEL
    WAKE ME UP WITH WINGS
    FLOATIN' OVER THE SEVEN SEAS
    WITH A BAD CIGAR
    AND A PEARLY QUEEN
    ONE MAN LIVIN' IN PARADISE
    ANOTHER CRAWLIN' IN THE SLIME
    AIN'T NO SOLACE AND AIN'T NO COMFORT
    UNTIL THE DAY HE DIE
    SOME PEOPLE TRUST FAITH
    SOME PEOPLE TRUST REASON
    I CAN SEE WHAT I SEE WHAT I SEE
    WHAT I SEE AND IT AIN'T NO TREASON
    IN THE TEMPLE OF MY MOTHER'S FAITH
    IN THE TEMPLE THAT MY MIND REPLACED
    'CAUSE A TEMPLE MADE OF STONE
    MADE MY HEART TURN COLD
    SOME PEOPLE TRUST FAITH
    SOME PEOPLE TRUST REASON
    SOME AIN'T GOT NOWHERE LEFT TO GO
    JUST UP A TREE SON
    IN THE TEMPLE OF MY MOTHER'S FAITH
    IN THE TEMPLE THAT MY MIND REPLACED
    'CAUSE A TEMPLE MADE OF STONE
    AND AIN'T NO SAINT GONNA SHOW
    SOME PEOPLE TRUST REASON
    SOME PEOPLE TRUST REASON
    IN A TEMPLE THERE'S A SOAPBOX POLITICIAN
