Poets Of The Fall

[sig_rune]

sono 10 annetti ormai che seguo questo gruppo finlandese assolutamente snobbato in italia; prevalentemente ascolto strumentale (spheris, oldfield, nobile ecc) , questo gruppo è quanto di più vicino al commerciale che io gradisca
sito ufficiale: Poets of the Fall - Official Website
La loro particolarità, oltre al fatto che le loro canzoni hanno fatto da colonne sonore per svariati videogiochi, è la bellezza dei testi, che sono quasi delle poesie, con un inglese molto raffinato e con termini di uso non comune
Per chi volesse avvicinarsi a loro , consiglio un paio di brani del loro ultimo lavoro (secondo me il meno pregevole dei 5 fatti finora):



RUMORS
Like whispered hot secrets your restless dreams will fade away
In still life like motion slow through the frantic rush of the day
With lackeys of lust crowding the streets

N' I know they would steal your heart to see my love tortured
Render trust a hostage to fortune
Rumors seduce like fire
x2

Seducing illusions driving the chariot of hearts astray
Standing silent vigil over the moments of ease that still remain
With a thorn to the side for every good deed

N' I know they would steal your heart…
Oooh...

Every day is a day we awake into this life
Another chance another line to define
And we will dance, we will play, and experience a lifetime
Every day is a day we die

Cos I know they would steal your heart...

N' I know they would steal your heart to see my love tortured
Render trust a hostage to fortune
Rumors seduce like wildfire

Steal your heart to see my love tortured...




BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN
I'm in way too deep like a poser
And falling for the dream's just the ground getting closer
I guess it’s how our lives get painted in scars
With everything riding on a joker
With the paradise syndrome strap on for spurs
Regret is the skin you shed just to make it this far

I need you to find me, I can no longer breathe
I want you to touch me, just to know I still feel, oh

Like a miracle you change me, raise me
Brighter than the sun till I'm ready to be me
And your love is the reason, yeah
Like a miracle you wake me, make me
Brighter than the sun when it used to blind me
I know your love is the reason
Love never goes out of season

I got nothing to call a solution
Not a penny to my name, just riding the motion
Yet like a child I still reach for the stars
But if this darkened hole is my conclusion
And the mother of pearl world is just a notion
I lose for playing out my part in this farce

I need you to find me, I can no longer breathe
And I want you to touch me, just to know I still feel, oh

Like a miracle…

Just remember when it's time speak your mind,
speak your mind, you gotta show them how
Show them how you wanna live your life
Just one life, one life, all in the now

Oooh...
Like a miracle…
