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…

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. Itβs the little things, little things, little things That make the world. From Stay to Stay Forever As I understand…

Precisely!“. Don’t forget to get your copy of Alexander Theatre Sessions! π On CD: ALEXANDER THEATRE SESSIONS On Cassette: ALEXANDER THEATRE SESSIONS, CASSETTE On…

Alexander Theatre Sessions Wrap Up Interview 2020
Last Friday, the Alexander Theatre Sessions came to end with the last episode of the season: Carnival of Rust. Today, it is the last wrap up of the Alexander Theatre Sessions on Poets of the Fall Social media. It is with a small pinch to the heart that I say goodbye to these beautiful moments when time stood still once a month for a whole year.

So while Poets of the Fall was busy wrapping up the Alexander Theatre Sessions on Social Media with great “Behind the Scenes” photos, I chanced and…
