Poets of the Fall Forever, 20 Years of an Amazing Musical Journey
Today – or rather the day after tomorrow – is the celebration of 20 amazing years of music masterfully offered to us on a platinum platter by Finnish rock band POETS OF THE FALL. As a writer, it is always nerve-wrecking to imagine people you admire so much reading your words. When these people are POETS OF THE FALL who, wordsmith Marko Saaresto, belongs to… well, I get nervous with all the what ifs screaming in my head… Truth be told, there are so many surprises throughout this article I could not be more please for Poets and for you, readers, fans and friends. We’ve all been touched to the core…
Poets of the Fall – Happy Birthday, Marko Saaresto, sir!
Here we are again, time flies doesn’t it? 😏 Today, not only do we celebrate the extraordinary Marko Saaresto’s birthday, but also the World Wide Poets of the Fall day. Happy Birthday dear Marko! 🥰🎂🍾 Marko Saaresto, Yum… When one hears the name Marko Saaresto, what do you think comes first to mind? Yes, THAT, sorry I couldn’t resist… but not really what I was after 😅 This past year, I have watched reaction videos about Poets of the Fall and almost all have one thing in common: “Omg, this voice!”. Whether the person reacting is a man or a woman, they all get hooked by Marko’s voice. The emotions…
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.…

World Wide Listen – Poets of the Fall International Listen Day
This time of year again, and although I am busy like a bee and a bit under the weather despite all the fun… I needed to free a moment or I would have been disappointed with myself and that won’t do. So… let me tell you a short story for a short post. Hop on board reader! 😀 “Whatever you do… don’t scream!” “SHOUT!!!” December 5th, 1970… … somewhere in Finland a little boy is taking his first breath meanwhile, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Nazareth, Black Sabbath are – or soon will be – reaching the height of their international fame.

World Wide Listen – Poets of the Fall Day 2018
Helsinki, December 5th 2018, Marko Saaresto… Finnish time +1, Happy Birthday to you, dear poet ?. I don’t know about you, but this year has been pretty intense, for both good and ill (just a little, only to enjoy the good better), but mostly for good. My godson / nephew turned 3, about 10 days before Poets of the Fall turned what (?) 15 years young. I started a new job after a rather dark period in my life… and the direct consequence to that odd statement is that I finally got to see Poets of the Fall live, for the first time in Helsinki and to celebrate with you…
