Poets of the Fall – Children of the Sun 2020
The experience of listening before watching worked so well before that I renewed it with Children of the Sun 10th episode of Poets of the Fall Alexander Theatre Sessions. As I always get overenthusiastic with everything that has to do with Poets of the Fall I tend to be a bit forgetful about let’s say: video descriptions 😉 So, when I heard the strings at the beginning of Children of the Sun, I thought to myself, cool Captain found a way to add strings with his magical wand… or something, which sounds totally bonkers, but not totally impossible you’d have to agree. Anyhow, I listened to Children of the Sun…
Poets of the Fall – Le Trabendo, Paris
Before we start… this post will be updated with more pictures during the week, so make sure you come back to check them out 😆 and now, without further ado, Jari… drum-roll if you please! This is the second time this year that Poets of the Fall is visiting Paris to give my native country a show to be remembered. I might be slightly partial to the Finnish poets, but hey, that is what I am known for – partly 😛 . Jokes aside, I am starting this post as I travel towards Swedish airport, Arlanda. Today, is long grey day, but it is a good day. I’ve always wanted to write…
Poets of the Fall – Spot the difference
Before I even start… though it stroke me as I proofread for the uptenth time… The still photo for Partir Avec Moi, seriously, I am ashamed not to have noticed this before, really. Look at the colours!!! French song… colours: blue white red… the French flag! My flag and I have not even seen this.? Looking everywhere for the less obvious when the most obvious is in my face. Who else did not notice? I am not going down alone, people!? The Sweet Escape vs Partir Avec Moi. In my previous post, I promised you an extra article comparing the videos. After struggling with two YouTube windows opened playing the…
Poets of the Fall – Partir Avec Moi Single
One week after The Sweet Escape premiered on YouTube, here we go again, waiting expectantly for the video of Partir Avec Moi to start. There was a pretty noisy chatroom this time around as well. Not always on topic, but excitment makes people talk nonsense now and then. It is fun though… I was not the only “nut-job” in there, and that is quite a reassuring thought. The single I have to admit, as I sat in my car, singing along Partir Avec Moi coming back from work, it felt really strange to sing Poets of the Fall in French… even though it is my native language… It sounded great…
Poets of the Fall – The Sweet Escape single
Poets of the Fall knows how to keep us on our toes, and so with the release of The Sweet Escape single and video, they decided it would be cool to premiere it on YouTube at 8:00 am with a countdown precisely when most of us are already at work or in a different time zone. This did not matter, however, because people were at the rendez-vous and so was I… the chat was wild with anticipation. I set my Skype to “Do not disturb” at work and held my breath for the time of a sweet video. Of all the songs from the Ultraviolet album, The Sweet Escape is…
Poets of the Fall, Warsaw – Nerdmoot in Poland, part 3
We’d had a nice after show in Krakow, having a beer with Oksana, Elin, Alice and Brigitte at the hotel. Some loud laughter about “strange” odours – lol – and noises… then off to bed. Saturday morning, 6 am… time to get up, or was it later? No matter, our train was scheduled at 8:53 am and there was no time to waste. Breakfast was alright, but I must say, I was really tired. We met with Susan, Aleks and Ana at the station just in time to hop on to the train, destination Warsaw. I usually don’t sleep in the train, but this time, I just put on my…
