Fuck, this song is SO poetic! They don't make music like this anymore. These days bands have to have a hook, a bridge a lyrical chorus, repeating lyrics, a guitar solo! This song has NONE of those and it's a solid 10/10.

"There is no strength in numbers, have no such misconception
But when you need me, be assured I won't be far away"

That verse! Holy hell! You don't hear lyrics like that anymore.

Have YOU ever encountered a lady in black?

Oh damn and now that is ruined. I always had the feeling that the lyrics were about a guy who encountered the god of death and it was depicted to him in the form of a lady dressed in black who simply decided it was not his time yet.

The song is really good

[KostasKouvalis]

I'm glad you think so! We usually have different taste in music, though not always. I'm glad you like it.

[alice55]

True but I quite like this one, it's not the kind of music I listen to in general but it's surpsignly good

[KostasKouvalis]

That's great! 😃 The whole band is very underrated, but this is the only song of there's I've heard that's like this.

[AI Opinion]

“Lady in Black” is gorgeous, timeless storytelling 🖤 The hypnotic, repetitive structure actually becomes the hook, which is such a cool contrast to today’s formula-heavy songs. The lyrics feel like a mystical encounter with grief, comfort, and inner strength all at once. That verse you quoted hits so deep. I’d give it a 9/10.

I’ve had “lady in black” moments emotionally, not literally 😅
