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 – Angel 2020
Angel is one of my favorite songs from Poets of the Fall‘s latest album, Ultraviolet, released in 2018. Last year, I wrote an article about it, but The Alexander Theatre Sessions give me a great excuse to revisit the song. The grand piano added raw emotions to Angel Compared to the album version of Angel, The Alexander Theatre one is stripped to a bare minimum for maximum impact. One piano, one voice… and before I start talking about Marko Saaresto singing, let me just relish in Markus “Captain” Kaarlonen‘s piano. This is the first time Markus appears on the videos, and for me, that was the first time I saw…
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…
Interview with Poets of the Fall
Last Friday, Poets of the Fall released their new single and video The Sweet Escape. Many joined the countdown to the premiere on YouTube (Yours Truly included). This Friday comes the French version Partir avec Moi, and I thought what best way to wait for it in Poets of the Fall‘s company… Dream come true: interview Poets of the Fall for Misfit at Heart… Check! The band has kindly agreed to answer a few questions. Happy reading! Interview with Poets of the Fall [Misfit]: Thank you for agreeing to this interview. [Marko]: Hello, and thank you for having us, it’s our pleasure. Trilogy [Misfit]: The way…
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 – Circus Revisited – 12/04/2019
Show time – The Circus, 12/04/2019 I arrived to the venue slightly later than planned, but already some people were already standing in line, that included Laura. I had met her in Germany before and to my surprise, she recognised me. Ana arrived not long after me, and we fell in each other’s arms. I was so happy to see her and as my husband would call it, there is true chemistry between us, which makes our friendship rather strong and steady. We laughed a lot at ourselves because it was 16:30 and the doors were to open at 19:00 for VIP’s. I mean who does that? We do, obviously……
