Poets of the Fall, My Dark Disquiet – UV
I don’t know about you, but I think a new post is being long overdue… you know how it is though, right?! Life… ? Anyhow, I have been playing Ultraviolet non-stop in my car for the past month or so, I can barely make a playlist that does not contain at the very least eight songs from Ultraviolet, if not all… I do have the album completely stuck under my skin. More importantly, I still love the album ?. Now, I know I have said that Ultraviolet gives me the strength I need to pay it forward and beyond, but at the same time and on a more personal level – personal, meaning…
Poets of the Fall – German tour 2018
Hungover The flight from Sweden to Hamburg on October 26th was slightly delayed, but the pilot was good and we landed only 10 minutes behind schedule. I took a cab to the hotel, at the limit of the red district where the venue was. I came in and I felt really cold… I mean cold stares will do that to one, you know. The receptionist was welcoming enough I suppose, but he really did not want to be there… and the bartender talked so fast in English that it sounded German. He told me I should go put my stuff in my room and come back down to fetch my…
Poets of the Fall in a Perfect World – UV
Since Ultraviolet by Poets of the Fall was released on October 5th, I have been swearing by it every day… and I still am ?. Ultimately though, I’ve gotta pick one song to start with – False Kings & Dancing on Broken Glass don’t count, they’ve already gotten the spotlight – so how does one chose? I have said it before, I love every single song on Ultraviolet and the songs are growing in my heart, and are getting under my skin as I am getting the travel-fever for the German tour in a couple of weeks. How does one chose? I woke up with the song In a Perfect World…
Poets of the Fall – Ultraviolet – Outstanding!
Is it how it’s gonna be? Me, rambling at every new Poets of the Fall album release… well, maybe not ? because Ultraviolet exceeds all of my expectations, although I have to admit that my expectations were rather over the roof when I heard the teaser. Still, exceeds expectations is how I would rate Ultraviolet. No way… an outstanding is more like it. This being said, where should I start… Gargantuan Craving As most of you, dear readers, have, I have been patiently waiting – biting my nails – for Ultraviolet. I do believe that I have been waiting ever since I saw Poets of the Fall live in Helsinki on their…
Poets of the Fall – Dancing on Broken Glass
Anticipation… I like the word because it is loaded with so much positivism. I mean, whatever the event coming our way, we want it with all our heart and get the nauseous feeling that we’d loose our minds if it got delayed. Do you know what I mean? With this idea in mind, imagine yours truly and her nerdy friends all over the world refreshing whichever official streaming platform (in my case, my mailbox to get iTunes notification… way too early I must add). Suddenly, it is here and although the anticipation is at its paroxysm the release might come either smoothly or crashing down depending on our expectations. Expectation……
Poets of the Fall – Nothing Stays the Same
There are songs, like the ones I talked about in my previous post – i.e. War and Late Goodbye – that do not “talk” to you the way they were actually intended… at least, it is one way to look at it (since in all honesty, I am not sure we will ever know the true intent of any Poets of the Fall song ?). That being said, there are barely any song in Poets of the Fall‘s repertoire that do not touch me, one way or another… for example: The Happy Song… don’t like it, but provided I am in the right mood, it will make me chipper ?. Seek you…
