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 ↴
Please let me be blown away I
Promise you I'm not afraid
I will sing a circus song
About the birds and lion hearts
But please if I forget to stop
Remind me who I am and what you are
'Cause when our eyes close we're the same
I believe in kings and queens
And everything stuck in between
But please if you must take a peek
Don't spoil for me my mystery

I believe in windy days when everything gets blown away oh
I have faith in the power of windy days that can blow away everything
Please let me be blown away I
I want to be carried away by the wind
Promise you I'm not afraid
I assure you that I'm not scared
I will sing a circus song
I will sing a fun and lively song
About the birds and lion hearts
The song will be about birds and people with brave hearts like lions
But please if I forget to stop
If I get carried away and forget to stop singing
Remind me who I am and what you are
Please remind me of my identity and who you are
'Cause when our eyes close we're the same
We are the same when we close our eyes
'Cause when our eyes close we're the same
We are the same when we close our eyes
I believe in kings and queens
I have faith in royalty and power
And everything stuck in between
I believe in everything else that's in between
But please if you must take a peek
If you need to take a look
Don't spoil for me my mystery
Please don't ruin the sense of wonder and excitement I have for the unknown
