Illusion and Dream

Hi there!👋 My channel has finally got this elegant business card in English and Russian, with catchy music in the background that touches your soul from the very first second. As they say, share and multiply☺️

We're also going to try posting not only in Russian, but also in English for our current and future audience. Poetsdates, live performances, and even quotes (maybe not all of them) will have the original and a translation. I don't know how effective or correct this is, but it wouldn't hurt to give this experiment a try😅 Thanks everyone, and stay tuned📢

Poets of The Fall: PAQ

Cos it seems to matter where I go, I will always let you know

That the place where I am is never far

You know, you're not alone, don't be alarmed

I'll find you no matter where you are

Poets of The Fall: PAQ

In their native Espoo, in November 2013, Poets of the Fall performed one of their most heartbreaking compositions.

There are songs you listen to with your ears. And there are songs you feel with your skin.

All the Way 4 U is definitely the second kind.

It's about that moment when you have nothing left to prove, nothing left to promise. Just - to be there.

Even if it means taking the fall.

Even if it means giving your all for someone.

Even if it hurts.

And now a bit of fun and timeless classic, where we once again ask the question "When's the new album?" only to get an answer like this. Let's watch.

Poets of The Fall: PAQ

If you're scared, I'm here beside you

If you get lost, I'm here to guide you

And I give you peace when peace is fragile

Love is all the good in you

Love is peace when peace is fragile

Poets of The Fall: PAQ

There's an old tale wrought with mystery,

Of Tom the Poet and his muse

And a magic lake which gave a life

To the words the poet used.

... ... ... ...

Now, if it's real or just a dream -

One mystery remains,

For it is said, on moonless nights

They may still haunt this place....

🎮 On May 14, 2010, the game Alan Wake was released for the Xbox 360, telling the story of a writer who went on vacation with his wife and... The story unfolded over many years, appearing as "Easter eggs" in subsequent Remedy games, and also found its continuation in 2023, but that's a different... story))

I'll add that in the game, we were introduced to two elderly rock musicians with their own band, the Old Gods of Asgard, who were popular back in the distant 1970s. As time passed, little remained of their former glory, but the music... The Old Gods have six albums, but in this game we only heard two melodies: the lyrical ballad "The Poet and the Muse" and the fiery (literally) "Children of the Elder God" Who knew that their story would also stretch on for many years, and that their music would find a place in our real world?)

I hope you have a lovely day today, friends.

On April 29, 2022, Poets of the Fall released their ninth album, titled Ghostlight💡

In this song, Marko asks us: "Is the dream still alive? Still the image of perfection?" And it seems to me, he talks about how a living dream can warm us from within, simply blazing and sparkling! In search of something more, or just chasing echoes...

📱From Jani Snellman's Instagram(march, 2021):

Exactly two years ago we (= Poets of The Fall) had a nice and compact one week tour in Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, France and Italy. Here is bunch of my most random off stage / on the road photos from that trip. Hope to get back to work soon again!

🎂 23 years ago, on this day, the legendary journey of Poets of the Fall began.

Many know that the formation of the band and the recording of their first album involved huge risks. But the stars aligned in the sky – and now we see Marko not as a lawyer or a doctor (although in a way, he is a healer), but as a rock star. With his healing lyrics and a voice that awakens so many emotions – from quiet sadness to the desire to live.

The band's music is always a little more than just sound. It's like magic that doesn't fade over the years but only grows stronger. It touches strings within your soul that you never even knew existed.

Thank you to Poets of the Fall for staying true to their path and bringing support to their fans, even from thousands of kilometers away.

Wishing them stability, inspiration, a successful Carnival by the Sea tour, and, of course, the release of a new album!

✨Thank you for the light in both the dark and joyful moments of our lives ✨

Hyvää syntymäpäivää! 🍰🥂

Poets of The Fall: PAQ

In October 2013 in the German city of Freiburg, Marko performed a rather unusual song, and not his own at all. Life in Ireland had borne fruit, and from there he brought an interesting folk ballad, The Wind That Shakes the Barley 🌾, about a young man torn between love and duty.

Of course, the song is much longer than what Marko sang here, but this a cappella version... left no one indifferent. Absolutely no one. I recommend taking a closer look behind the scenes👀

I don't know what words to start with, because there are quite... a lot of emotions after watching it 😅 But just letting you know that the music video for Black Waters is out, starring white roses and Marko. What could be better?

And yes, congratulations to us. We've waited for the MV. We'll wait for the tenth album too.

And of course, how could this day go without the song that gave the album its very name? The song that became so popular that it's been performed ever since its release and has become a universal favorite. The song that turned into the Poets' "calling card," through which many people are introduced to the band for the first time)) After hearing it just a few times, you'll never forget lines like "And more than ever, I hope to never fall..." and "Don't walk away when MY heart is yearning."

Here it comes, Carnival of Rust🍭 from 2007, Helsinki!
