For me, good music is all about the stories it tells. It is the sound that draws me in, but always the lyrics that make me stay. If they speak to me in any form, to my head, my heart, or in the best of cases my soul, I will allow the music to win me over and take me away to places I have never been. Poets of the Fall create such music. They offer a unique, yet familiar sound and lyrics that flow like poetry. In addition to making beautiful songs they are the best live band I know, their shows always leaving me exhausted and with a huge smile on my face.
