1. Poe™ (trademarked) is the stage name of Anne "Annie" Decatur Danielewski, an American singer-songwriter, . Her musical style is a blend of rock, folk, and electronic music elements backing intimate lyrical compositions. Poe was signed to Atlantic Records from 1995–2001, where she released two albums (Hello and Haunted); she's currently signed to her own label, RePoezessed Records.
Annie is the daughter of Polish film director Tad Danielewski and his second wife, Priscilla Machold and the sister of author Mark Z. Danielewski. She grew up in Provo, Utah, USA, where her father was a professor at Brigham Young University. She eventually began pursuing her undergraduate studies at Princeton University, where she organized her first band.
Poe's first album, Hello, was released in 1995. Her debut single, "Angry Johnny," got much radio and MTV airplay. The second single "Hello" charted #13 on U.S. Modern Rock Tracks and #1 on U.S. Hot Dance Club Play.
Occupied by extensive small club tours, she was unable to produce a second album until 2000's Haunted. Poe included her late father on Haunted after discovering cassette tapes containing his voice. But listening to them the first time proved so difficult that she was hesitant to use them in her music. "I took these tapes home and I couldn't listen to them," Poe explains. "It was too hard, so I kept finding ways to avoid it. They were sitting on my coffee table next to a boombox." The album also dovetails with themes and concepts from her brother Mark's post-modern novel House of Leaves; the CD and the book were released simultaneously. Poe and Mark toured together across America at Borders Books and Music locations in support of the album and the novel.
A remix of the song, "Hey Pretty", featured Mark reading a passage from the novel. It was released on one of the Haunted singles and became a radio hit. "Hey Pretty" was also the theme to a short-lived MTV soap opera Spyder Games. The show usually ended with bits of the risque video or a picture of the single's cover. In 10 Things I Hate About You the character of Kat has the Poe ball on her schoolbook.
Poe opened for Depeche Mode in 2001, and followed this up with a head-lining US tour. Poe's second album's rising success reached Gold and Top 10 alternative, but was abruptly interrupted by legal disputes. Poe started a campaign which she referred to as the "Re-POE-Session", an attempt to gain control of her master recordings from her former record label, Atlantic Records, because they refused to re-release her albums although she was still under contract. Her dedicated fan base, "The Angry Psychos", supported her fight by passing a "Poe Ball" around the country to show their support. In 2004, both albums were re-released on CD by FEI/Sheridan Square Records, and in downloadable form on various online music stores. The RePoezession was a success.
Poe appeared in the movie Gossip performing the song "My Lips are Sealed" (a cover of The Go-Go's' "Our Lips Are Sealed"), and as a CGI character, Mary Magdalene/Plague, in the PlayStation game Apocalypse. Apocalypse also featured an alternate version of her song, "Control", later released on Haunted.
Her most recent work includes collaborations with Rhys Fulber's solo project, Conjure One. She has had a part in the writing and singing of five songs on Conjure One's albums: "Center of the Sun" and "Make a Wish" on the self-titled first album and "Endless Dream," "One Word" and "Extraordinary Way" on Extraordinary Ways. She is credited as Jane on this later album.
Poe provides the voice of "Single Mother" in the movie musical "Repo! The Genetic Opera", along with other voices.
In November 2007 Poe began collecting mp3 recordings of dream accounts on her website, http://www.repoezessed.com
According to statements on her official forum, Poe is in production on new material.
2. Poe is a electronic music composer based in Ternopil, Ukraine.

4. Poe (포) is a korean indie band. They describe their music as a mixture of dream pop, british rock/brit pop, shoegaze and piano rock. In 2010 they realeased their 1st EP “Burnout”.

Poe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wild cause you left me here
I go wild
Wild because the chips are down
Wild because there isn't anybody else around
Wild when the waves start to break
And God knows they're breaking in me now
Wild 'cause it doesn't make sense
For me to cry out in my own defense
Wild 'cause I would do anything
To tear you off your precious fence
So this is what it's like living in limbo
First I'm high then I'm solo
I go wild
'Cause you break me open
Wild
'Cause you left me here
I go wild
'Cause your promises are broken
Wild
When I know you're near
I go wild
I go wild
Tell me what you've come for
Moving like a hunter through my back door
Leaving the perfume of all you adore
To die nameless on my floor
Yeah well we both know you don't play fair
I guess you really think that you get me there
Let's be honest perhaps this little ride
Is too much for even you to bear
You've got a lot of nerve to come back here
You're not the only one who can smell fear
I go wild
'Cause you break me open
Wild
'Cause you left me here
I go wild
'Cause your promises are broken
Wild
Don't you get it dear
You're not the only one who lives on instincts
No I've got instincts of my own
You've got a lot of nerve to come back
Plan your attack yeah I am still waiting
You wrote the rules to try to contain me
You broke 'em
Now you have untamed me
I go wild
I go wild
Tell me what you've come for
What is it you adore
Won't you tell me?
What would you
Go wild for?
You've got a lot of nerve to come back here
Speak up my darling I have been waiting
I go wild
'Cause you break me open
Wild
'Cause you left me here
I go wild
'Cause your promises are broken
Wild
Don't you get it dear
You're not the only one who lives on instincts
No I've got instincts of my own
You've got a lot of nerve to come back
Plan your attack yeah I am still waiting
You wrote the rules to try and contain me
You broke 'em
Now you have untamed me
I go wild
I go wild
Communication is more than just words, communication is architecture,
Because of course it is quite obvious that a house which would be built without that
Will that desire to communicate, would not look the way your house looks today
In this song, Poe talks about going wild because of someone who has left her paralysed emotionally. The opening lines 'I go wild cause you break me open, Wild cause you left me here' suggest that the person has broken down her walls and left her feeling exposed and abandoned. She then goes on to say that she goes wild because she is alone, and she has no one else around to whom she can turn. The metaphor of waves breaking within her emphasises the emotional turmoil she is going through.
Later in the song, Poe challenges this person to be honest about their intentions and asks what they came back for. She suggests that the person is playing games, and she has had enough of their broken promises. The lines 'You wrote the rules to try to contain me, You broke 'em, Now you have untamed me' suggest that Poe has had enough of this person's manipulation and wants to take back control of her life. The song ends with Poe saying she is wild and has her own instincts, which she is going to follow from now on.

Say what you need to say, I am listening.
