I'm right there with you man, I agree wholeheartedly!
Lament of a Minstrel was a song that I used to listen to during very emotionally intensive times years back.
The online nickname that I most often use and that I'm actually known of IS in fact "Minstrel". Well, at least I use that nickname in some Austrian or Viennese webcommunities and people know me by that name.
I love that song!
Falconer's music has accompanied me through difficult times indeed! That and the fact that I can listen to them at any time, no matter what kind of metal im actually into at that moment, makes them one of my all time most favourite bands. Stefan as a songwrite and Mathias as a singer really hit those nerves within this dumb austro-indian metalhead fellow here :P
So I want to join cuauhtle in thanking Falconer - everybody in the band, not just the mastermind and the singer - for their awesome work!
You are the best!
PS.: I even thanked them in the "Thanx" section of the booklet of the first CD me and my band have released
