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 – 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 – Lights & Shadows
What does it take to be an inspiring artist? What does it take not to get lost between lights and shadows? What does it take to be oneself in a world that’s gone completely bonkers? These are the eternal questions which never get fully answered, or that have so many answers that nothing makes sense in the end… the truth is, it does not have to. Anyway, my friend and I got carried away as we were chatting about our favourite subject: Poets of the Fall ?. She told me: “Wouldn’t it be cool if we found more than one song with the concept of light and shadow as Marko…
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…
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…
Poets of the Fall – Moonlight Kissed – Clearview
It has been a long time since I wrote a post first in my mother tongue instead of starting it in English. I do not know why, but the idea came from Poets of the Fall themselves. If someone can explain, then please be my guest. After spending a whole morning on writing a draft of this post – which wasn’t one to begin with, I realised two things despite myself. First, I was utterly dissatisfied with the result, therefore – and as you can notice yourselves – I am starting over. Second, I did not chose the easiest song from Clearview to interpret. I set the bar a little high, but…
