If POTF would make an acoustic album/a studio acoustic dvd someday, my song wishes are these:

All the Way / 4U
Carnival of rust
Desire
Dreaming wide awake
Fragile
Given and denied
Illusion & dream
Late goodbye
Rewind
Skin
Someone special
Temple of thought
The ballad of Jeremiah Peacekeeper
The beautiful ones
The poet and the muse
War
Where do we draw the line

This! Huzzah fellow UK PotF fan.

Oooh! I love these ideas for an acoustic album set list, and am excited at the possibilities of my own dream acoustic set, which would be something like this:

Lift
Dreaming Wide Awake
War
Rewind
15 Minute Flame
Revolution Roulette
Late Goodbye
Don't Mess With Me
The Ultimate Fling
Carnival Of Rust
Cradled In Love
The Beautiful Ones
The Poet And The Muse
No End, No Beginning
Diamonds For Tears
Heal My Wounds
Kamikaze Love
Sleep

Honorable mentions are: Running Out Of Time, Sorry Go Round, Given And Denied, Balance Slays The Demon, The Ballad Of Jeremiah Peacekeeper, Locking Up The Sun, etc.

Actually, You know what.. This is my dream set list period, acoustic or not, wouldn't this be truly epic?! Poets, if your listening, and you ever come to Cleveland, Ohio, this would be heavenly euphoria for me! Wait, then again, we don't know what other ones on the horizon could blow my mind in the future, so I'll just call this the 'Moment In Time' dream set list!

World tour would be awesome. I would love Poets to come to the UK as well!

An idea of Old Gods of Asgard concert has been thrown into the air here:
Eurogamer.de interview in German (right at the end).
Eurogamer.de interview in English (right at the end).

So make some noise in the comments of the article, people, it might come true yet. ^^

lol, count me in

would be fantastic

One idea that popped into my mind doesn't even require the band's active participation: a fan-made video of Locking up the sun using footage of the battle of Manhattan from the recent Avengers movie.
Title? "Loking" up the sun, of course.

What about 3 D live concert via movie theater? At the same time when POTF will perform live, we could see it in our local movie theater. Maybe it's too expensive to arrange?

It could be awesome, if we could buy a concert tape from the concert we just saw. POTF could sell it as cd or USB memory stick/wristband or mp3 in website digistore. It could be a nice memory from the concert.

If I am looking at this picture, I can go in somekind of POTF Christmas spirit and I can imagine a beautiful, soft song. I think Marko's voice is suitable to touch hearts on Christmas time.

Here's something Christmas related as well:
Christmas Olli

A world tour withouth doubt. I can't explain how much I would like to see Poets performing live and the other reason is that making a world tour would give them the chance to also make Live DVD or CD so I would love that too. So, yes, I voted for that.


By the way, Im new here so Hello everyone.

Keep rocking!

What about remake/updated (kind of remix) album? What POTF songs you would imagine as remake/updated versions and how would you change them perfect for you?

There are great all the songs, but it would be nice to have different updated versions of some of them, it could be interesting. I can imagine Cradled in love song with normal, non- falsetto voice and a bit of more bass sounds added. I would also like to hear softer versions and different instrumental arrangements for Running out of time and Show me this life songs. Maybe More song could be made in less powerful version, with a change of rhythm somehow and it could sound like a new different song.

Absolutely Live DVD. I always watch from Youtube Marko
telling jokes or playing with Olli and those videos are
amazing to watch.

Ditto!

What about Biography dvd? They could tell and show us where they are come from (videos/pictures from the youth), some studio work, song writing process, live performance videos and many other nice things.

I always root for live dvds as I love them the most. And yes documentaries, biographies FTW

New songs are always the best and being all the time with POTF music, it's amazing to find that is always something more...
If they will make someday remastered/remix/update versions of the old songs, I think they have many great songs to have into view.
I think Marko’s part from Phoenix Effect’s Lucky star song,

Every single wound that weeps
Every jaded memory
Calls for a new one in it's place
So let me lead you through this dance
of guilty pleasures in advance
peachy at the corners of your mouth
Sands of time will fall...
has so soft melody and it's dreamy and beautiful. It would be great to extend this part to a new or remastered/remixed song someday.

A similar beautiful part is in the OGOA's Balance slays the demon song,
In the end
It's never just the light you need
When balance slays the demon
You'll find peace
In the end
It's never just the dark you seek
When balance slays the demon
You’ll find peace…
which I see it changed into full song. This slow part has something magic in it. I wonder how it would have sounded if the song would have been different, I mean more POTF style than OGOA's style.

And...not a project, but a thought... It will be nice to have an official calendar POTF with great pictures, or some specific designs, that we could buy from the shop at the beginning of the new year. Just to get a smile and a good mood after an everyday look at the guys.

If POTF would arrange someday a tour or would make an album with symphony orchestra, what POTF songs you would choose to this kind of project?

I think these songs would be great with symphony orchestra.

Rochard - Johns Theme (A Sharp Miner)
All the way 4 u
Carnival of rust
Change
Cradled in love
Dawn
Desire
Fragile
Given and denied
Heal my wounds
Illusion & dream
Late goodbye
Battle theme (Shattered horizon)
No end, no beginning
Skin
Sleep
The ballad of Jeremiah Peacekeeper
The beautiful ones
The poet and the muse
War
Where do we draw the line
You’re still here
Aliens & indians (Rochard)

I so desperately am in need of a live DVD and i think one is way overdue.

I know they're expensive to do for an independent band but hopefully someday.

Can only go from Youtube videos for so long...

Marko sounds so beautiful in Finnish Karl Frazer chocolate advert and I imagine how a full song would have sound in this beautiful language.
So, I would like to have a POTF Finnish song someday.

Situation on the poll now.

Live dvd [ 35 ]
World tour [ 28 ]
Acoustic album [ 25 ]
Old Gods of Asgard album [ 24 ]
POTF book [ 12 ]
Covers album [ 9 ]
Live album [ 9 ]
Duet [ 6 ]
Christmas song single [ 5 ]
Other project? [ 4 ]
Instrumental album [ 3 ]
Remix album [ 3 ]


Mentioned other project ideas so far in this thread:
- Tour or album with the symphony orchestra
- An Apocalyptica - POTF album
- A remastered Playground album
- A live book
- Notebook and a book of Stories behind the songs .
- A tour as OGOA
- POTF could choose some other popular band and they could do each others songs their own versions and maybe one or two duets in a same album and one co-written song.
- POTF performing live with Phoenix Effect
- 3 D live concert via movie theater
- POTF could sell a concert tape from the concert we just saw as cd or USB memory stick/wristband or mp3 in website digistore.
- Biography dvd
- A POTF Finnish song

Nice to see so many votes and ideas. Thank you!

OGOA has already great songs and of course, I hope for some new ones.
I would like to have OGOA videos for Balance slays the demon and Poet and the muse songs.

I only picked two. World tour and Old Gods of Asgard album. The former means I might actually get to see them, and the latter because I actually find their OGoA sound better than their standard tracks.

To be honest, it doesn't matter to me what they do... they could write a song a day and i still couldn't get enough.
*sigh*
Back on topic : I'd really like an "unplugged" CD

German tour it's great as usual! I noticed that Marko said last night in Dortmund that they will change the acoustic song in every gig. Anything would be beautiful, of course. But I would wish so much to hear in this tour some songs that they haven't played acoustic before (Where do we draw the line), songs from Temple of thought album (Morning tide, Skin) or some songs that they have performed very rarely like The beautiful ones, or All the way for you.

Maybe they read your post, cause they performed a Finnish song, Salaisuuksia, in Mannheim.

Yes. And maybe my wish was so strong that it worked in a magic way, I couldn't believe it. They made me happy with it, it's so beautiful.

I would like an acoustic album, and live album and cd About touring I don't mind that much. But I know for sure that the live dvd will be there at some point.
