Nearly a year with Poets of the Fall
Warning: this is a VERY long post, so get a cup of tea or coffee, get comfy and happy reading! Ruthless year I could not let my latest post be the last one of the year… it did not feel right because I did not really talk about the year that passed, what it brought me and what’s to come. You’d think after such a statement I’d made my case and would start… well, guess again! We can all agree that 2016 was a real dark year, with the terror that pushed entire families to go into exile; the terror again hitting cities like Nice and Berlin and all the others that I will…
Poets of the Fall – Crystalline
Do you remember that on my last post I wrote that I’d run a little experiment. After a full week, I can say that the results are inconclusive but at the same time, confirmed a few things. This post might be considered as an extension of the said experiment, at least in part. Furthermore, it might well be the last post of the year, but you never know, my fingers might get itchy during the Christmas break. Anyway, I recall reading a review about Clearview where the writer was very enthusiastic about the album but kind of shot Crystalline dead, saying that it was probably the worst song the band…
POTF – Everything Fades… inspiration
I thought today would be a writing-free day since I posted something “kinda” new yesterday, however, it would seem that my fingers are itchy for typing… what, you might ask? hmm, anything I suppose. I could of course translate the posts that need translating in French, but let’s not get carried away… it’s still Sunday after all. Now, yesterday afternoon I wrote something in my notebook that reads: next post Crystalline. Lovely! But not today, no. Today, I might as well just go back in time as a little experiment, for which evidently I won’t tell the purpose. Before I go on though, there is something I have been wondering about…
POTF – Tony saga continues
What is it that one usually says about half promises made with a grin in one’s eyes? Well, I do not know for I made that up, but since I nonetheless made such a promise, here I am again keeping it. For the record, I’ve never written so much about one single song before, but at least I can safely say that I now know the lyrics by heart and am able to sing along with Marko as I drive to and from work… and NO, you may not hear me sing.

Poets of the Fall – The Child in Me
Last week, I promised I’d come with a new post about Poets of the Fall‘s song The Child in Me. What I have been wondering since is if it is another coming of age song like Once Upon a Playground Rainy. It would seem that the song title is rather self-explanatory which means not too much digging, at least at first glance. But, it is somewhat a Smoke and Mirrors meet Rewind kind of feeling – lyric-wise. Anyway, go figure why this particular track made me happy as I drove home last week… the lyrics are not particularly cheerful so why? I think that it might have something to do with, first and foremost, the intro……
Poets of the Fall Day
Today is the December 5th and before going on with the matter at hand, I would like to wish Marko Saaresto a Happy Birthday. Have a good one with loads of love, hugs and laughter, sir! How fitting is it then to follow the lead of Poets of the Fall Street Team, and make this day even more special: Poets of the Fall Day? I like the sound of that, but it goes further than that. Indeed, it goes like: World Wide Listen to Poets of the Fall Day! Because, you see, there are still people out there who are not aware that they’re missing something great… so, we gotta tell…
