Poets of the Fall – Forward Quotes – EP06
“Every person is a temple of thought” said Marko Saaresto on the Live in Moscow in 2013. Think about this for a minute… if we weren’t showered with such an amount of information every day, the kind that get us focused on the wrong things all the time, the kind that wherever we look, we cannot escape… and yet, we are the only ones who can make it so that such information does not pollute our lives because we are our own temple of thought… solely with that statement, Marko managed to wire my mind into an uncontrollable spiral of thoughts that have not left me since I first heard…
Helsinki, Poets of the Fall, my first Poets show ever
Ever since I’ve got hooked to Poets of the Fall, I have written many pieces inspired by the band’s music and inevitably got noticed by a couple of die hard fans. It all started with Susan though… with a friendship that is still young yet steadily growing into a beautiful flower. The truth of the matter is that I have been as much looking forward to meeting Susan for the first time as I have been to see the band live. I’d also said “see you soon” to Kirsi H. the week preceding the show, because she was coming too… it was about to get crowded with loads of friends……
Temple of Thought – Poets of the Fall inspired
Yesterday, as I was driving home from work, I was contemplating the idea of writing a new post since it had been a while… I have to tell you, it is not as easy as you think to come up with something to say that you might relate to; anyway, since the automatic pilot on my car was on – read that I was stuck behind a truck and could not overtake it – I had plenty of time to think in and outside the box. Of course, I had a little help from my favourites poets, Poets of the Fall, and their song Temple of Thought, from the album Temple of Thought……
Old habits die hard
I have to admit today I cannot find myself. She is somewhere within but she’s become so good at hiding that she’s probably found new places to do so. As I said before, old habits die hard… It is like I am standing in an empty bubble, opaque and cold, in the middle of nowhere – or maybe it is right in the courtyard I couldn’t tell you see. Adjustment takes time, and time is what I do have. So, tell me, what is wrong with me today? I was after all very cheery and shiny yesterday, what happened between then and now? Maybe it is just the morning frost that won’t…
POTF – Cradled in Love
Introduction Yesterday evening, we had one of those music evenings that my husband and I enjoy so much. The theme was, hmm, can’t you guess? Indeed, it was a Poets of the Fall evening. My husband sitting in his armchair smiling at me with his entire face, a glass of wine like nectar to accompany us, my friend’s chihuahuas sleeping on the sofa on either side of me, and the stereo playing the entire discography of the “Poets”. It was perfect! After two rather fast tracks, Playground is showing the way into the hit ballad “Cradled in Love” from one of my favorite albums, Temple of Thought. I chose that…
