Product Description

*"Poetry Man"* is one of the best-known songs by American singer and songwriter Phoebe Snow. Released in 1974 on her debut album, the song marked her first major hit and is remembered for its gentle lyrics and captivating melody, with influences of folk and jazz.

The lyrics of *"Poetry Man"* depict an idealized romantic relationship, where the narrator feels inspired and enchanted by a poetic and alluring man. She sings about the impact he has on her, praising his qualities and the sense of comfort and inspiration he brings to her life. The song is both sweet and melancholic, with a sensitivity that leaves the listener uncertain about the future of this relationship.

Although *"Poetry Man"* seems to be about true love, Phoebe Snow never confirmed that the lyrics were autobiographical or inspired by anyone specific. It is believed that the song represents more of a fantasy or an expression of the desire to connect with someone in a deep, poetic way.

The song was a major success, reaching the Top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and helped to establish Phoebe Snow as a unique artist with a remarkable ability to blend jazz, blues, and folk influences. Additionally, her distinct and powerful voice contributed to the song's emotional impact, and *"Poetry Man"* remains one of her most beloved songs and a classic from the 1970s.
