Poets of the Fall – Circus Revisited – 12/04/2019
Show time – The Circus, 12/04/2019 I arrived to the venue slightly later than planned, but already some people were already standing in line, that included Laura. I had met her in Germany before and to my surprise, she recognised me. Ana arrived not long after me, and we fell in each other’s arms. I was so happy to see her and as my husband would call it, there is true chemistry between us, which makes our friendship rather strong and steady. We laughed a lot at ourselves because it was 16:30 and the doors were to open at 19:00 for VIP’s. I mean who does that? We do, obviously……
Poets of the Fall, from Stockholm to Paris with love
September 2018… this is when I planned this whole trip, so believe me when I say that the anticipation for the shows, first in Stockholm and then in Paris, have had time to build up. But as Harry said to Hermione: “When has any of our plans ever worked, Hermione?” My husband got stuck at home with a cold and a fever, I was starting to be sick too and I had to cancel my flight to France, to book another flight with another company to insure that I would actually arrive to destination (in anything but a Boeing 737 MAX). So whatever you plan, remember that life has its…
Poets of the Fall, Angel – UV
The most difficult… or rather interesting part… with Poets of the Fall lyrics is probably reading between the lines. Someone asked on a Facebook group dedicated to the band, “what are Poets of the Fall’s songs that talk about death?” It is a tough question, and in my opinion, the answers that this person received were rather inaccurate. When I read the question, I immediately thought of Angel, however, I am not entirely sure that death is the theme of the song. Therefore, I thought I’d try my luck and go through the lyrics to see if I could make heads and tail of it all. The title… subjective Aside…
Ultraviolet tour… 2019
2018 was the year I saw Poets of the Fall live for the very first time… and it was even more meaningful as I attended one of their anniversary shows in Helsinki, during April… as they celebrated 15 years… I celebrated 15 years since I first met my husband. Coinkidink? I think not. Life has a way of toying with one, but sometimes, it behaves 🙂 Before I get to see the band again though, I gotta wait 2 weeks… the anticipation is growing faster for everyday… the butterflies in my stomach, hmm, whirling relentlessly and my mind, when not occupied by work deadlines, is have troubles staying in the…
Poets of the Fall, The Sweet Escape – UV
I have been wondering, before last year ended, about what song I should put under my feelings’ microscope in this promising new year. I suppose I was sufficiently distraught to actually be able to put my mind to it until now. Of course, in matters of the heart, the mind should play but a very little role… wouldn’t you say? In the end, my heart prevailed and chose The Sweet Escape… how fitting! However, the verses that have taken a hold on my heart, have proven challenging when I first heard them… I wondered how true to my own feelings they were, until said feelings faced the most trying challenge…
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…
