Page France were an indie folk-pop music band. Their music tends to be emotional and their songs tend to have simple melodies. Page France is sometimes compared to Sufjan Stevens for their use of uncommon instruments such as the glockenspiel and banjo.
The band broke up in 2008. Frontman Michael Nau is now focusing his full attention on Cotton Jones.
The band has been characterized by some as Christian due to a number of references in song lyrics and titles. However, lyricist Nau counters: "The 'Christian band' inquiry wears me out, to be honest. As for the Christian symbols in my writing — sometimes I don’t even realize that they exist until someone points them out to me. There’s really no reason; it just rolled out that way."
The band is a frequent feature on a number of music blogs, notably You Ain't No Picasso.

Page France Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And an endless day where my love awaits
She's been working so hard, she's been working so hard
She's been working so hard, she's been working so hard
And she loves all my mistakes and
She loves the mess I've made and
She loves me more than heaven and
She loves me more than love and
She loves me more than pain and
She loves me more than heaven
And I love her more than hell
And she loves me more than God
She loves me more than God, I know
She loves me more than God
And I love her all
I love her all the same
In Page France's "Northern Light," the lyrics take the listener on a journey to a small northern town where the singer's rents are all paid, and where the love of his life eagerly awaits him. He sings about his lover who has been working hard, and even though he has made mistakes and created a mess for her, she loves him more than anything else in existence. The absolute depth of her love for him is made evident as she loves him more than heaven, more than love, more than pain, more than life itself, and all of these things have a significant meaning in the grand scheme of things. The singer also makes it known that he loves her as much as she loves him, even more than hell, unlike the typical cliche, and all the same, regardless of the trials and tribulations they may face.
The song's lyrics showcase how true love perseveres through any circumstance in life, shining like a northern light in the sky. Although the singer and his lover are not prosperous or wealthy, they have each other, and that is enough. The minimalist lifestyle they have is not a burden, but a blessing, as it has enabled them to appreciate what they have, live life to the fullest, and cherish each other. Northern Light is a poignant ballad-like song that will leave the listener feeling euphoric, reflective, and ardent all in one fell swoop.
