Poets of the Fall – Shadow Play
It’s been a long time coming… a new post, a new look on things, new thoughts and new ideas… well, you’ll at least get the post. What is the most important thing that comes with change? I’d think it has to do with going along and taking up the new challenges head held up high… no fear and no doubt. I can feel it in the air, I can feel it young and strong Like an intoxicating dare The truth is, it sounds easy but it is as tricky and headache giving as learning to play chess or poker. What I mean is that no matter how bad you want…
POTF – Someone Special, one year or so later
There are songs that need attention more than once, and Someone Special from Poets of the Fall first album Signs of Life is definitely one of them. I am not repeating myself, I’d just like to look at it from another perspective that applies today in a different way than when I first wrote about it a year or so ago (To all my someone special – published on May 7th 2016). I am not interpreting the song… I just use it to tell you about My Someone Special. Courage 2017 marks my tenth year wedding anniversary (June 16th to be exact) and while I have told you quite a bit…
Poets of the Fall – Bag of Treats
Alright, today I need to cheer myself up… loads! I won’t offend any of you by explaining what’s going on in this head of mine, or why (’cause, I know you know), but I am upset, annoyed, ashamed, or you know like Tex Avery and the jaw-dropping picture… me all the way. So, what to do in such cases? I have the perfect solution (apart from playing ostrich, which is not really one). But before telling you, I’d like to mention that one of you inspired the title of this post. Indeed, you wrote a comment on Poets of the Fall‘s announcement about the upcoming new material, it made me smile and…
POTF – Passion Colors Everything (one year later)
If I recall, last year around that time, Poets of the Fall was celebrating becoming a teenager… meaning that Poets of the Fall had reached the dreaded by all parents period called puberty, 13 years! The band was taking a break from the Clearview recording… It is also around that time that my husband and I met for the first time and so, this year (on Sunday, April 16th) we will be celebrating our 14 years anniversary, which is kind of mind blowing considering everything that has happened since then. I know, my mind works in very strange ways to draw such a parallel, but I thought sharing such a date with…
Poets of the Fall – Children of the Sun
Do you know this feeling, when all signs align whether you believe in them or not… when the universe is actually screaming at you because you are not paying enough attention to the present… do you know how it feels when you suddenly hear it? I’ll tell you a crazy roller-coaster taking your head for a fast spin until you get dizzy. So, yes I believe without any unshakeable belief although that belief is based on my unwavering faith that everything happens for a reason. “Ding-Ding” moments Children of the Sun, by Poets of the Fall, was an interesting choice of song as a second single. There’s been a lot of debate among the…
POTF – Can you hear me – “Compassion is the answer”
Bees in your bonnet … Clairepeek? Well, yes as a matter of fact! Yesterday and early this morning, I’ve had my shoes on my head and my feet in my bonnet… an “easy” situation or imagery inspired by a lot of friendly chats here and there, some interesting tweets and some very special guests on one of my all too famous playlists… YYEESS!! Poets of the Fall of course… Although, I hope Joanne Rowling will excuse my borrowing her Harry Potter line for my header, but it seems that the bees had no desire to vanish that easily. They play (not the bees you understand!) this song that makes me really…
