lyrics
Ah, Robin, gentle Robin,
Tell me how thy leman doth, and thou shalt know of mine.
My lady is unkind, ywis!
Alack, why is she so?
She loveth another better than me,
And yet she will say no.
I cannot think such doubleness,
For I find women true.
In faith, my lady loveth me well,
She will change for no new.
Ah, Robin, gentle Robin,
Tell me how thy leman doth, and thou shalt know of mine.

I discovered this band mere weeks ago through pure chance; someone recommended Fair in a discussion about wholesome songs. And it was; love at first listen. YouTube recommended me Battle Cries next, so I gave that a listen too, and the the energy and the overlapping lyrics made me fall in love anew.
I bought this album and Ruin less than a day later. Everything TAD have made is true art, different from everything else I've heard. Mayana

I do not normally cry because of music, or fiction in general. Chords made me cry. Every time I listen to it, it still feels like a warm, tight goodbye hug.
But it isn't what convinced me to buy this album, because damn, I knew I would right from the start of Secret Worlds, and knew it ever more at every song. The way the songs here can combine to tell a whole new story, and even reference others from The Horror and the Wild, is just magnificent. Mayana
