Rec: English Poetry

'4Music Film' was made in 2009 when their debut album was released and it's one of the reasons I fell for them. If you haven't heard of this band, now it's time. White Lies is a great, unique English rock band with 3 albums (the last one came out this year). This video was made of the lyrics from their first album. I like to call their songs "exaggerated stories". They talk about normal human emotions and situations, but lyrics and music make them epic and fairytale. You can relate to them, but it's like you're in a movie. (It's weird, I know.) This video shows the beauty of those lyrics and proves that modern songs could find its place in school textbooks alongside Shakespeare and Petrarca.
 
 
The video contains clips from 'To Lose My Life' and 'Death' music videos so if you liked them I'll post the whole videos for you. I think they're great.

    1. Really? Well it's out since August. 'Big TV' is more pop (lyrics and refrains) but still fabulous. You'll like it!
