Poets of The Fall - Jealous gods (2014)

To end this trip on Poets of The Fall material, I present you the album which preceded Clearview, Jealous gods from 2014

It starts with power and strength with Daze, lots of Falsetto, but everything fits, the video is connected with the lyrics, pay attention

The second song is the self-titled , Jealous Gods, it fits pretty well here

The third song is rumours, It's about love destruction by others, check out, one of my favourites

The 4th one of the album is Brighter than the sun a fast and powerfull one

the 5th one, Love will come to You is an acoustic one, that is plainly beautiful, pretty, melodic, and the video simply majestic being so simple at the same time.

the 7th one is Rebirth which is soft, kind and gentle with a soft pace, one of my favourites

the last one I will show you is Choice millionaire, about how decisions maybe important, this has some political message behind, to act and react.


With this I end my Poets of the Fall marathon, let's see what November will bring to the blog.

Poets of the Fall - Twilight Theater(2010), Alchemy vol.1(2011) and Temple of Thought (2012)

From Twilight Theater I will show you three songs, all really emotional, probably the album with more emotion they have
The first song of the album "Dreaming Wide Awake" deals with the Death of a loved one and how life is joking with us

The second song of the album is "War", another song from Alan Wake game, about how our partner in war sometimes is nearer then what we think

The Last song I'm showing you from this album is the 5th one, called "Given and Denied"


From Alchemy Vol. 1  I want to show you "No End no Beginning", the lyrics are strong, I really loved this song on this best of.


From Temple of Thought, I want to show you the official track "Cradled in love". I think the first time we hear the Falsetto of the vocals Marko Saaresto

Next week the last album before the Clearview I already posted about, there we will go to 2014, see you there.

Poets of The fall - Revolution roulette (2008) and Alan Wake Soundtrack song (2010)

The album from 2008 has less so impacting songs, but we still have some to point up
We start today's journey with "Ultimate Fling", probably one of their earlier faster songs.


Follows the official video from this album Diamonds for Tears, more experimentalist, less direct, but with it they opened new sonorities.
 
the songs which ends this album is just marvellous, it's Called Where we draw the line, it's effectively and amazing song



As this album has few songs noteworthy, I will share with you the song that was on Alan Wake, a different video game, when you end it you will understand everything, until there you will be a bit lost. The Song is called "The Poet and the Muse", it's how a writer finds it's inspiration for the rapture of his loved one.


Next week a medley of their works of 2010,2011 and 2012

Poets of the Fall - Carnival of Rust (2006)

Today I bring you the second album form Poets of The Fall, Carnival of Rust

All the album is amazing, only the Drums changed for personal reasons from their first to this album.
It starts it great power with the song, Fire


The next song I'm showing you is the third of the album and homonymous song of the album, Carnival of Rust, amazing videoclip where you can see the passage of the drums in the middle


The third song I'm showing you is the fourth one of the album, another official video, and it's called Locking up The sun, more of a poppish sound but that doesn't make it sound bad, just different


The 6th one, King of Fools is an lyrically heavy song, really harsh and with the music following, one of those heavy feeling songs


The next one, the 7th is Roses, more soft that the last one does the optimal passage


Follows the 9th song of the album, one of my personal favourites if you have been paying attention, I enjoy emotional songs, and this has all I would need in a song, it's called All the way 4 you.


The last song I'm showing you is the 11th one, and it's called Maybe Tomorrow is a Better Day,it's kind of ironic song, It's a perfect song to end this post.

Next week we will have the 2008's album, see you there

Poets of The Fall - Signs of Life (2005)

Hey folks. New Month old material, isn't that what people say? no? well this month will be 100% Poets of the Fall based. Why? because I posted last month their late work, but is their former material which brought me to this amazing band. Some say they sound like Muse, I don't agree, may have some similarities here and there in the songs, but nothing else.

This week will be about their first album Signs Of Life form 2005

It starts with an amazing rock song, with what I would call some progressive elements at some points, here we have "Lift"

Next I will show you the third song from this album, "Late Goodbye" which is simply amazing, slower pace than lift, more progressive elements and change of paces. This song was part of the game Max Payne 2


Next we have, a in the sixth song of the album, "Stay", another slow pace song, more for a romantic type, enjoy



Now enters the song which brought me to Poets of The Fall, the 11th song of the album, illusion & Dream, the song makes us wander through our wake dreams


The Last song is a sweet song, like a going to sleep one to end the album, It's called Sleep, aafter my introduction who would expect that?


Next Week we will go ahead to 2006's album, see you next week
