This Beautiful Mess

This Beautiful Mess is the second album by American band Sixpence None the Richer, released in 1995 (see 1995 in music). The recording was produced by Armand John Petri, who also managed the band from 1993 to 1997. This Beautiful Mess surpassed 50,000 copies sold during its first year of release and laid the foundation for Sixpence's self-titled breakout album two years later. This Beautiful Mess won the 1996 Dove Award for "Alternative/Modern Rock Album of the Year." The songs "Within a Room Somewhere" and "I Can't Explain" were both minor hits on the Christian music charts.

Within a couple years of the album's release, two eventually significant rock bands formed under the moniker "This Beautiful Mess." The first originated in Colorado Springs, Co in 1996 and went on to become the platinum-selling act OneRepublic. The second, formed in 1997, is the Dutch rock quintet from the Netherlands which continues making music under the same name.

"This Beautiful Mess" is also used as the title of author Rick McKinley's 2006 treatise on personal and social transformation. The book's foreword was written by million-selling author Donald Miller, who filmed the 2012 movie Blue Like Jazz with Sixpence None the Richer producer Steve Taylor directing.
