Poets of the Fall – Forward Quotes – EP06
“Every person is a temple of thought” said Marko Saaresto on the Live in Moscow in 2013. Think about this for a minute… if we weren’t showered with such an amount of information every day, the kind that get us focused on the wrong things all the time, the kind that wherever we look, we cannot escape… and yet, we are the only ones who can make it so that such information does not pollute our lives because we are our own temple of thought… solely with that statement, Marko managed to wire my mind into an uncontrollable spiral of thoughts that have not left me since I first heard…

Poets of the Fall – Forward Quotes – EP05
New start… Hello readers! How have you been? Good I hope… here, things have taken a turn for the better. I think I told you before that I believe in the saying: “Everything happens for a reason“, and yes, it is true but one needs to choose to look at things that way and when one is in the middle of it all, so not really a walk in the park. I assure you though, it is right around the corner… your reason… you’ll see. Before we start – “Leap of faith” When I started my new work, I started a new routine… alright, it is not yet a routine…

Poets of the Fall – Forward Quotes – EP04
Never doubt A dear friend of mine just reminded me of something rather important that I tend to forget, or just indulge out of old habit. She said: “Never doubt your writing, you write beautifully.” Heart warming, isn’t it, to have a friend believing in your art that much. I am well aware that she is not the only one believing that way; I also know that I have a hard time with an average judgement when it is not supported by valid and constructive arguments… at the same time, the same friend told me to “forget them”… so this is me doing just that since, after all, one cannot…

Poets of the Fall – Forward Quotes – EP03
“Individual, mysterious and personal” As I read the previous post, I could not help but notice that my self-imposed shackles did not do me any good as far as restraining the words towards a lengthy post was concerned. Just as well, I should say. After all, I am not one to follow so-called advice that I do not care for, especially when they’re unsolicited. I sound a bit resentful, don’t I? Well, yes I do… no need to put on gloves… say, at least a little! But I do have some people in mind, or rather a flow of “insufferable know-it-all” (plural) invading my Internet browser and my mailbox to…

Poets of the Fall – Forward Quotes – EP02
Weather vane When I had the idea of this series, I thought that it’d be fun to write this way again, at the same time I did not really have a plan for it. I’d already chosen the quotes and it’s almost like I put myself in shackles restraining the words from the start. The truth is that I can be like a weather vane when I write so unconsciously I might have put in place some kind of frame to hold me fast. This might actually help me keep it short and concise… not that I should bother about it, but you might like it. Anyway, I ask again…

Poets of the Fall – Forward Quotes – Pilot
Dear readers This is an introductory blog post about the brand new series around Poets of the Fall lyrics. It is called Poets of the Fall – Forward Quotes. The title did not come out of a hat – as some might think – but was the result of two cosy Poets of the Fall evenings that my husband and I shared recently. We discussed a few things and I remember telling him about a line – don’t remember which just now – how it pulled me forward: hence the title. Therefore, this series will not try and decipher the meaning behind any lyrics, but will rather pick a line or…
