TF - “Sommaren 2015 skakades Sverige av det brutala mordet på 17-åriga Lisa Holm. Vi som många andra följde nyhetsrapporteringen och händelseutvecklingen och berördes starkt av Lisas öde, speciellt som vi själva är föräldrar.
Vi skriver musik om saker som sker i samhället och som berör oss, och därför skrev vi “Calm Before the Storm”. Musikvideon har nu uppmärksammats i sociala medier och i media och vi har förstått att många har blivit illa berörda av den. Därför vill vi understryka att vår intention aldrig var att såra någon, utan att föra fram hur fel det är att sådana här saker händer i vårt samhälle. Vi skrev inte den här låten på något annat vis, eller med något annat mål, än någon annan av de låtar vi har skrivit under femton år som band.
Vi vill be Lisa Holms familj och närstående om ursäkt för den smärta som det här har skapat och hoppas att de kan se att vår intention var god."
Furthermore, we have decided to donate all of our proceeds for this single 'Calm Before The Storm' to the memorial fund of Lisa Holm.

CALM BEFORE THE STORM:
You were going home
last day was to end never seen again
Only seventeen
He was there for you calling out your name
Lisa watch out in the night
This is so unfair
Flying far never coming back
So this is the air
What if we could call spirits back to us alive
Chances are too slim
Hold me down inside
When I caught you in the alley
I'm pretty sure that you will die
She will dance in silent hill
A dance that is so still
Flowers on the ground
The rain is all that sounds
We lift our heads in air
To see the meaning of this war
Against your own soul
Life is too short
To find yourself afraid of his sort
This is not like the plan
You just thought that it had a longer span
Your family
Won't see your face
Anymore
Or not even your grace
She wants to dance
I will pray
What if it was my daughter?
Hold me down
I will kill
The creep that took
Your life
Life is too short
To find yourself afraid of his sort
This is not like the plan
You just thought that it had a longer span
Experience the being...
Not much longer than you're seeing
Further away from your frame
Who’s the man to blame?
Life is very frail
It's so easy to fail
Climb out of the hole
It’s a mission to get up with your soul
