Poets of the Fall – The Sweet Escape 2020
Now that we are way past 2021’s threshold, it seems that not much has changed yet. Because it is a rather disturbing observation, my heart craves The Sweet Escape only Poets of the Fall is able to provide 💕. You’d say “but you’ve already written loads about The Sweet Escape!” 😉. I’d say, “Indeed, but as you may have noticed last year, PotF – Misfit Heart has not covered all the songs from Alexander Theatre Sessions (ATS) and one of the missing tracks is?… 🎶👏 Yes! Precisely!“. Don’t forget to get your copy of Alexander Theatre Sessions! 👇 On CD: ALEXANDER THEATRE SESSIONS On Cassette: ALEXANDER THEATRE SESSIONS, CASSETTE On…
Poets of the Fall – Rebirth 2020
Rebirth… the song I wake up to every morning; Rebirth… the song one of my friends call sad & hopeless, but which I cannot help feeling joy and warmth when I hear it… Rebirth: the song that I cannot be without, ever. I’ve been working on this article for over a week, and it has never been so hard to write about a Poets of the Fall song. There is something strange at work when Rebirth is playing. I have been listening to the song a whole morning but I’ve been drawing a blank… like being numb. This is the only song from Poets of the Fall that has such…
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 – False Kings 2020
False Kings is Poets of the Fall‘s first single that preceded the release of their 8th album Ultraviolet in 2018. After a melody that could have very well been used for a James Bond movie, it feels almost anti-climatic to get an acoustic version at the Alexander Theatre. Be that as it may, same melody but completely different atmosphere which I like very much. The feel of the music is, to me, a bit Mediterranean… had they shot the video on a beach or at the terrace of a cafe in the South of France, it would have been quite fitting… maybe not with the lyrics though 😆 Soft spot…
Poets of the Fall – King of Fools 2020
Last May (2019), I asked Marko about a live DVD, especially since the Ultraviolet tour is so awesome and it would be incredible to have it recorded somehow. M@H: Is there any chance that you would consider releasing a second live DVD in the near future? Marko: Never say never, but we don’t have any such plans at this time. It’s a huge undertaking to get one done, both financially and time wise and with the market for DVD’s dwindling, so I dunno. Having said that, it would be a good idea, if the right show comes along. (Read full interview here: https://potf.misfitheart.com/2019/05/16/interview-with-poets-of-the-fall/) That being said, the acoustic sessions are…
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…
