Thanks!
I don\'t understand so much but my sister in england will read it and explain for me.

That\'s a lovely poem that stirs up a lot of vivid, yet peaceful imagery. Was that the inspiration for the naming of the band? Or was it the concept of thanatopsis as a whole?

[Travis]

It was never meant to be the name of a band but the name of a project based on the poem title.
