They rehearsed in Stefan's garage and performed Metallica, ZAO and Focal Point covers, then original music in local clubs. '"The musical connection that we have is amazing; everything is really positive,"' says bassist Ben Souza, added in 1999 when the band moved to Chico, California.
In March 2001, the band crossed the country on the All Under Heaven Tour with Shun, then in July played 18 shows in 22 days on the Are We There Yet Tour, including Emerson Theatre in Indianapolis, Emerald Theatre near Detroit, Pyramid Club in New York City, 5 Points South in Birmingham, Masquerade in Atlanta, Bash on Ash in Tempe and Chain Reaction in Anaheim with, in part: Haste, [minus], Not Waving But Drowning and ZAO.
Spiritfall's musical style development is probably best described as metal and hardcore roots, evolving as the band was influenced by the music of Far and Deftones into their own sound, variously described by others as hard rock, pop, alternative metal, and emo.
Spiritfall combines melody and harmonies with aggressive instrumentals, but emotion is the foundation of Spiritfall's music. '"Our goal is to completely "expose" ourselves emotionally and musically,'" admits vocalist Anthony Stone, while guitarist Christian Spencer reveals, '"There really are no boundaries in music, and that is what makes it so powerful."'
"Intoxicatingly beautiful and yet completely intense friendly yet emotionally drenched blend of emocore and new metal" - wookubus, Pimp Rock Palace (theprp.com)
Spiritfall completed a 10-song CD in December 1999, but their music was developing so rapidly with their ambitious performance schedule that they decided to release an initial 6-song concept CD in 2000, "My Reason," which first release sold out at spiritfallband.com and on tour.
Unfortunately, they are disbanded in 2001 after a fight with the band members and the record dealer and quit the band.
Spiritfall has played with: Papa Roach, Taproot, Alien Ant Farm, Pressure 4-5, dredg, Onelinedrawing, The Revolution Smile, Fenix TX, 8 Stop 7, Zebrahead, The Juliana Theory, Ethynol, Trans-Lux, Paradox 44, Darkest Hour, The Systematics, Insolence, ZAO, Spike 1000 and Will Haven!

Spiritfall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cannot explain it
You're everything that I ever liked
And you're the only one
I see your face in the morning
It's all I need
A passion wrapped up in compassion
And I feel it
Chorus:
Without words you hear my thoughts
Your god touches my soul
You're what I seem to feel I find
When I fall
You run away but you can't hide it
I cannot explain it
I see all the things you've been missin'
And i'm the only one
You run away but you can't fight it
I'm all you need
Consumed by your fire
And it's burnin'
(Chorus)
Self-entangling vision
When I see your pain in your eyes
I feel it rushing through me
What'd you do to me?
What'd you do to me?
(Chorus)
In the opening of the song, the singer expresses the surprise they felt when they came across the person they are singing about. The singer cannot explain why, but there is something about this person that makes them feel complete. The singer describes this person as compassionate and passionate, which deeply moves them. In the chorus, the singer explores their inexplicable connection with this person. Despite not needing words to express their thoughts, the singer feels like this person understands them better than anyone ever could. The singer also speaks about feeling closer to God when they are with this person.
The second verse delves deeper into the connection between the singer and the person they are singing about. Despite the person trying to run away from their connection, the singer is confident that they are the only one this person needs. They claim that they can see all that this person has been missing, which is another indication of their deep understanding of the person. The fire between them, though consuming, is perceived as an unbreakable bond. The bridge showcases the singer's empathetic abilities as they describe feeling the person's pain, which further solidifies their unique connection.

You came to me without a warnin'
You appeared in my life unexpectedly
I cannot explain it
I don't understand how or why it happened
You're everything that I ever liked
You possess all the qualities I find attractive
And you're the only one
There is no one else like you
I see your face in the morning
You are the first thing on my mind each day
It's all I need
Just the thought of you is enough to make me happy
A passion wrapped up in compassion
Your love is intense yet kind and empathetic
And I feel it
I am deeply affected by it
Without words you hear my thoughts
You understand me even without me speaking
Your god touches my soul
Your spirit resonates with mine
You're what I seem to feel I find
You are the missing piece I have been searching for
When I fall
In my moments of weakness or vulnerability
You run away but you can't hide it
You try to distance yourself, but your feelings are still evident
I see all the things you've been missin'
You are missing out on things that are important to you
And i'm the only one
I am the one who can provide those things
You run away but you can't fight it
Your attempts to resist me are futile
I'm all you need
Everything you need is found in me
Consumed by your fire
I am overcome with your intense energy and passion
And it's burnin'
It is a feeling that cannot be ignored or extinguished
Self-entangling vision
My own vision becomes intertwined with yours
When I see your pain in your eyes
When I see you suffering or in distress
I feel it rushing through me
I feel your pain as if it were my own
What'd you do to me?
What have you done to make me feel this way?
What'd you do to me?
I am amazed at the powerful impact you have had on me
(Chorus)
Repeats the main message of the song that the singer is deeply affected by the other person and their connection is strong even without words

A lot of the old fansites are down these days but the best source of info is last.fm/music/Spiritfall. Unfortunately, they are disbanded in 2001 after a fight with the band members and the record dealer and quit the band (Last FM) to date there was almost a revival in 04/05 but other than that the guys have gone back to their own work that I know of.
