1. Po! was an indie band formed in Leicester, UK, in 1987, with releases dating up to 1997 on Rutland Records.
Po! was originally formed by Ruth Miller (vocals and guitar), with Julian Glover (bass) and Mark Fuccio (drums). They are usually listed under the C86 or twee pop headings. The themes of misogyny, disappointment, and nostalgia act as a counterpoint to the vocals, melodies, and jangly guitars so characteristic of the genre.
Ruth spent two years playing with Ruth's Refrigerator, before reconstituting Po! with Terri Lowe (guitar), Paul Knight (drums), and Gary Gilchrist (bass), in which configuration they produced album Ducks and Drakes, and several EPs.
In 1994 the band recorded a John Peel session, and two years later there followed an LP Not Marked on the Ordnance Map, by which time Gilchrist had left and Lowe taken on bass and guitar duties. In 1997 The Alphabet EP was released, which the NME journalist Steven Wells made Single of the Week.
Miller, who played the character of Bridget in the comedy soap opera "Chez Lester", broadcast on the Cable 7 community TV channel, and Lowe are now married with two children. Ruth works as a deputy headmistress.
2. po! is a remixer and electronic musician, who has released many songs on the Internet.

Po! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did you ever get up on the wrong side of the bed
With an achin' head, and just fall apart
You're runnin' late, the boss is bitchin'
It's cold outside and your car won't start
Well I don't mean to bitch, I swear
'Cause we all got our cross to bear
Chorus:
But when I hear the music
All my troubles just fade away
When I hear the music
Let it play, Gotta let it play
Sure as darkness, I can see the day
But when I hear the music
When I hear the music
Let it play, Let it play
Life's just rented space, Gettin' laid to waste
When the lines on my face say I'm growing older
Just a stitch in time, Gonna save my mind
When the weight of the world lies on my shoulers
Soon I won't have a place to fit
But I'll cross that bridge when I come to it
Chorus:
But when I hear the music
All my troubles just fade away
When I hear the music
Let it play, Gotta let it play
Sure as darkness, I can see the day
But when I hear the music
When I hear the music
Let it play, Let it play
Solo
Chorus:
But when I hear the music
All my troubles just fade away
When I hear the music
Let it play, Gotta let it play
Sure as darkness, I can see the day
But when I hear the music
When I hear the music
Let it play, Let it play
But when I hear the music
All my troubles just fade away
When I hear the music
Let it play, Gotta let it play
Sure as darkness, I can see the day
But when I hear the music
When I hear the music
Let it play, Let it play
But when I hear the music
All my troubles just fade away-acap
The song "Fay" by Po! talks about the power of music in bringing comfort and solace to people who are going through tough times. The opening lines "When I hear the music... Lord, I'm gonna let it play... Somethin' like that!" capture the idea that music has a transcendent quality that can uplift the soul and relieve one's sorrows. The verses of the song describe the various struggles and difficulties that people face in their daily lives, from aching heads and car troubles to the weight of the world on their shoulders. The chorus emphasizes the importance of music as a release valve for these troubles, a way to make them fade away.
The song speaks to the universal human experience of facing challenges and adversity, and offers music as a way to cope and find joy amidst the struggles. It's a reminder that no matter what happens, we can always turn to music for comfort and escape. The solo towards the end of the song is a perfect embodiment of this idea, as the music takes center stage and becomes a form of expression that transcends words and language.
Overall, "Fay" is a powerful testament to the enduring power of music in our lives. It's a song that speaks to the soul and offers hope and comfort in even the darkest of times.
