Add New Review About The Artist The Reviews about Carbon Leaf (page 1/1) inspired lyrics | Reviewer: russ | 7/12/2007 i first heard carbon leaf on the radio with their hit song "life less ordinary". then i saw them at virginia tech with my daughter - a freshman at the university - little more than a week after the tragic shootings. usually i find that i like 2 - maybe 3 - songs of any given group, but as carbon leaf performed song after song i discovered that i really enjoyed every one of them. not only are they musical in a world of 'artists' who sometimes do nothing but bang guitars and scream, but their lyrics are very compelling. so while i was at the VT performance i bought 3 of their CD's. since then i've listened to each one several times and each time i discover something new in the lyrics. carbon leaf's writing touches the heart and soul with intelligent, metaphoric verses. i've become a huge carbon leaf fan; a groupie of sorts. saw them last week in northern virginia and i'm seeing them again in 2 weeks in NC. i'm lucky to live in their home state of VA and i expect i'll see them at least a few more times. oh, and these guys have integrity and character, and they're among the most humble and caring artists i can think of. not only did they perform for nearly 2 hours at the virginia tech event, but they donated their entire fee from the night to the VT memorial fund. if their music wasn't already enough to make me a devoted fan, that act of generosity and kindness forever endeared them to me. but don't take my word for it. like the next guy, i'm 49 years old. however, my taste in music more closely resembles that of my teenage daughters. but i am a former musician so i appreciate the true quality of this band's work. listen to them. see them. you too will become a fan.

Must Read!!!!!!!! | Reviewer: Bill McCollum | 2/3/2007 I never heard of this band before until driving home one day a couple of months ago and heard them on xm sat. The song learn to fly outstanding song!! My Golden retreiver my beloved friend (we have no children) who was 15 years old passed away on xmas eve and the song LTF fit in just at the right time. The words are very powerful . I was going to describe them and compare them to other bands but there are no comparisons. They are one of a kind and their music is quite unique! First I thought they were from Scotland because of the gaelic quality, then found out they are from Virginia. I am 49 years old and I am very choosey about my music. Since hearing that first song I have bought all of their music. I urge you to do the same you will not be dissappointed. We had the chance to see them on 2-5-07 in Boise,Idaho but can not go due to a family emergency. I am very dissappointed I will not be seeing them. So if any one would like 2 free tickets please e-mail me bjktg@msn.com I live in Twin Falls Idaho so if someone local reads this. Thanks Is this review helpful to you?     Yes      No Great Band! | Reviewer: Kevin O'Berry | 1/22/2005 Check out this band! They have a great sound and lyrics that will stick in your head all day. It's a punk rock/ ska sound with a pop twist. I guarantee you'll like this band. Chech out the song Torn to Tattered. Is this review helpful to you?     Yes      No Add New Review About The Artist
