New Series – Poets of the Fall, Clearview simply said – 9th episode
Freaking highway Have you noticed how some songs make you so chipper that you want to laugh and dance for the world to see? No?! What do you mean, no…? Oh well! Maybe that’s just me then… pfff, you’re so full of it! ? Anyway, Crystalline is one of these songs to me. It’s like a big bright light on a deserted street showing me the way… it’s telling me: Look it, not a narrow street but a freaking highway! What is keeping you?

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.

Poets of the Fall – Love never goes out of season
Yesterday, as I was driving home from work (finally week-end!) Poets of the Fall were as usual playing in my car’s speakers, smoothing out my otherwise bad mood while I was struggling not to yell at the snail-ish driver in front of me… I am French, yes, and French people are yelling in their cars, it might classify me as a crazy person here in Sweden though.
