Larry Sandman – Upside Down Video feat. Marko Saaresto, out 03.06.2022
When the Sandman himself announced his new single Upside Down featuring Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, my mind went straight to Poets of the Fall. I counted the x’s and Marko Saaresto fitted exactly. I thought to myself, nah, this can’t be right. I hoped of course, because I realised what this would mean to Larry Sandman: a wider exposure of his music, among other things. I hoped but dared not saying it out loud. Then, Larry replaced the first X with M… my mind went wild and after that it did not take long before he let us all on the secret 🥰. Obsessed much? Maybe. In truth, I am devoted to…
Poets of the Fall – Vanha, Helsinki May 27th 2022
Almost 2,5 years since I last had the pleasure and privilege to attend a Poets of the Fall show. My last gig was October 2019 in Paris… but now I am back in beautiful Helsinki for my very first Ghostlight Tour concert -though I could have done without the damp and somewhat chilly weather. Attending a Poets’ show is an incomparable event in itself, however, it becomes even bigger when you’ve got to travel from another country. I know some of us have. My “Poets trips” are always eventful, and this time was no exception. My train to the airport was partially cancelled, which pushed me to drive there instead…
Poets of the Fall, Ghostlight – seitsemän, Firedancer
Firedancer is the brilliant opening to Ghostlight, Poets of the Fall 9th studio album which was released on April 29th. The song is musically and lyrically stunning, from the intro’s spoken words to the very last notes easing the listener smoothly into the next track -Requiem for my Harlequin. As always, the lyrics can and should be understood in our own way. No right or wrong, just Marko’s red thread showing a glimmer of what could be his meaning. Like he said in his interview on Radio Rock (Finland, 02/04/2022): “My lyrics are meta-level lyrics so the listeners can understand them in their own way. There’s an idea in the…
Ghostlight – Poets of the Fall Masterpiece
The long awaited Poets of the Fall 9th studio album, Ghostlight, has landed in mailboxes all over the world and on most streaming platforms. I received the CD one day before its release date. The package was rather big as I ordered some extra merch’ 😅. I only unwrapped the CD though and after some struggles to get my CD player working, I poured myself a glass of Pinot Gris – sorry no Beaujolais for me. I put on my jacket, grabbed a blanket and headphones on, I sat on the balcony. I was ready. Wrapped in my blanket, I pressed play and started to listen as the sun danced…

The very first single from the so much awaited upcoming album Ghostlight to be released on April 29th. Such a special day, I took a day off… yes, just for this 😅.

There were four things today… 🥳 ✅ Requiem for my Harlequin released on all official streaming platforms, including Tidal. ✅…

Ever since Poets of the Fall has announced the new album, Ghostlight, to be released for April 29th, I have had the ambition of writing a post about the event. I started writing, then I got side-tracked by every discussion on Social Media that mentioned Poets of the Fall. The result is that April first is fast approaching and I still haven’t posted anything… I tossed more than I wrote.
