Poets of the Fall – Rebirth 2020
Rebirth… the song I wake up to every morning; Rebirth… the song one of my friends call sad & hopeless, but which I cannot help feeling joy and warmth when I hear it… Rebirth: the song that I cannot be without, ever. I’ve been working on this article for over a week, and it has never been so hard to write about a Poets of the Fall song. There is something strange at work when Rebirth is playing. I have been listening to the song a whole morning but I’ve been drawing a blank… like being numb. This is the only song from Poets of the Fall that has such…

A Conversation with multi-talented Artist Tiia Öhman
When I embarked on my “They work(ed) with Poets” journey, I thought it would be easy. The truth is, it is not. The people I get to interview have so many layers and they are so rich in experience, colours and arts. I knew it would be rewarding, I did not know how much 🤩. There is something about Tiia Öhman’s answers that somehow made me feel less alone in my own endeavours. Dear readers, you asked for it so I obliged 🥰 and what a treat it is too. Tiia Öhman, Poets of the Fall official photographer, has kindly agreed to answer Misfit Heart’s questions. Tiia isn’t just a…

A conversation with Movie Director Miika Hakala
This interview – or rather long conversation – is the first of a series I am working on… to celebrate people who work (or worked) with Poets of the Fall and are as talented as our favourite musicians in bringing magic to life. This has been a long time coming, and I feel truly blessed that Miika Hakala has agreed to this interview. As all Directors, Miika is a busy bee. For those of you who do not know yet who Miika Hakala is, well let me introduce you to the gentleman. He is the one behind Poets of the Fall‘s music videos and short movies such as “Moonlight Kissed“,…

Happy 18th Birthday Poets of the Fall
Poets of the Fall turns 18, today! Our Poets have finally reached majority…now, what that would mean “in the eyes of the law”, I leave to your own fantasy. 18 years is incidentally how long I have been living in Sweden (give or take a couple of weeks) 😏. The Poets family is celebrating all over the world… cakes were made and I believe Marko (probably the entire band actually) would love to have a bite 😋 I know I would! 18 years of age, 11 albums later ( counting The Alexander Theatre Sessions, Live in Moscow 2013 and Alchemy Vol. 1) the band is, I assume, working on No.…

Poets of the Fall – Stay Forever
It doesn’t take much to feel overjoyed these days, but Stay Forever got the palm for me on this fine Monday of March. Do you know… Poets of the Fall stunned me again! Stay Forever has come at the most opportune time once more. I’ve only just realized that, mind you, but I’ll say it again Stay, the oddest of cues. While some things I wrote four years ago don’t completely apply to yours truly today, I find that Marko‘s whispers continue to taunt me in the kindest of ways. It’s the little things, little things, little things That make the world. From Stay to Stay Forever As I understand…

Poets of the Fall – The Sweet Escape 2020
Now that we are way past 2021’s threshold, it seems that not much has changed yet. Because it is a rather disturbing observation, my heart craves The Sweet Escape only Poets of the Fall is able to provide 💕. You’d say “but you’ve already written loads about The Sweet Escape!” 😉. I’d say, “Indeed, but as you may have noticed last year, PotF – Misfit Heart has not covered all the songs from Alexander Theatre Sessions (ATS) and one of the missing tracks is?… 🎶👏 Yes! Precisely!“. Don’t forget to get your copy of Alexander Theatre Sessions! 👇 On CD: ALEXANDER THEATRE SESSIONS On Cassette: ALEXANDER THEATRE SESSIONS, CASSETTE On…

Poets of the Fall Magic – Wondrous live in Moscow 2013
We’re still here! Smiling and expectantly looking ahead 😀 How did you get on… Are you alright? What did you do to better cope? ♥ I virtually visited my family every day, chatted with friends and listened ceaselessly to Poets of the Fall. ♥ ♥ ♥ Do you know, Poets of the Fall magic is all around ♥ whether it’d be in music, thoughts or in dreams. And yet, I miss you ♥ I miss the band ♥ I miss the palpable magic, the energy & the communion. In that spirit, I wanted to write something special, for and with you – Poets fans & Poets. Nothing fancy really, just…
