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…
Poets of the Fall, Clearview simply said – Bonus 10.5
Today is a special day because today I have a special guest. Her name is Susan B. (Tobyanca) and I believe some of you already had the good fortune of meeting her. “Poets of the Fall nerds”, that is what my husband calls us – Susan and I. So let’s not disappoint, right.? Since we are two very chatty writers, do get comfortable my friends, this post is the longest one yet… so, get a cup of tea or something ☕? Miika Hakala Have you ever heard of Finnish filmmaker Miika Hakala?… Hmmm, nope… never. Surprising?… Nah, probably not either… Surprised? Absolutely, greatly and happily… Of course, I am talking about…
New Series – Poets of the Fall, Clearview simply said – 8th episode
Mood-swings ? “If you know you don’t know something, how do you get a clear view? It’s by asking.” – Marko Saaresto I’ve already written about The Labyrinth, but since I am making this series, there is no way I can skip this song, right. So I read my post about the song… hmm! Difficult to top that, I thought: Poets of the Fall – The Labyrinth. But I’ve gotta try. I love that song for so many reasons that it is almost impossible to pick just one angle to look at it. After being uplifted by Center Stage, comes The Labyrinth knocking on my door, asking: “Tissue?” and I’d go:…
POTF – Someone Special, one year or so later
There are songs that need attention more than once, and Someone Special from Poets of the Fall first album Signs of Life is definitely one of them. I am not repeating myself, I’d just like to look at it from another perspective that applies today in a different way than when I first wrote about it a year or so ago (To all my someone special – published on May 7th 2016). I am not interpreting the song… I just use it to tell you about My Someone Special. Courage 2017 marks my tenth year wedding anniversary (June 16th to be exact) and while I have told you quite a bit…
POTF – Can you hear me – “Compassion is the answer”
Bees in your bonnet … Clairepeek? Well, yes as a matter of fact! Yesterday and early this morning, I’ve had my shoes on my head and my feet in my bonnet… an “easy” situation or imagery inspired by a lot of friendly chats here and there, some interesting tweets and some very special guests on one of my all too famous playlists… YYEESS!! Poets of the Fall of course… Although, I hope Joanne Rowling will excuse my borrowing her Harry Potter line for my header, but it seems that the bees had no desire to vanish that easily. They play (not the bees you understand!) this song that makes me really…
Poets of the Fall – Clevermind
I have been away or rather delayed… or at least my mind has for a bit. You see, I have been struggling with something and not even our favourite Poets could help this time, not at once… tragic, nah, just a tad unexpected that’s all. For a while, I was on my own – not entirely true, for my husband is always there as my rock and my sunshine – and I know why now. It is called denial and I am very good at it indeed. What I have learned though during the past year is to recognise both the signs and the symptoms, and so I did it…
