Yeah!!! And The Ultimate Fling!

I do it everytime actually...when smth bad comes up POTF is the only thing that could help)

I Listen to them everyday, their songs adjust my mood as it needs too...POTF fill the gaps of treachery, unhappiness and emptiness in my heart to make it whole again... Their lyrics are almost wisdom to me...Songs like Roses, MTIABD and Shallow makes ur life worth while to LIVE...

Other songs are Jason Mraz - Lucky feat Colbie Calliat and Rick Astley - Vincent.

yeah that's the way it is. I listen to them every day too. The Lyrics are just awesome.

I used to be involved in this really weird and emotional kind of love-hate friendship thing (I don't think it has a proper definition) for 2 years and Poets' music was like a soundtrack to it. It was there all the way, in good and bad moments. I have experienced the feeling of being loved and cared for, listening to PoTF, and I have cried an endless amount of tears with PoTF in the background.
Now the thing is over. So there is just me and their music left.

So yeah.. I guess I do listen to them a lot when there is something wrong with me...

All the time. Whether happy or sad, but they do always seem to brighten up a bad day.

Though I only found them a week ago, it seems as if their music locks up the sun and grows a garden of roses in my heart. Poets of the Fall, I salute you.

I think I've already happened to listen to them through any kind of state of mind and heart... but usually they can do me good ^^

They are the best medicine when I'm sad, but they also can make happy moments better!

I listen to them every day no matter how I am feeling but some songs hit me in different ways on different days.

Every morning I listen to POTF in my car while driving to work. Each time it is a different song depending on my mood. It tones and tunes me to a new day, gives me the strength to move onward. Today's song was Maybe Tomorrow Is A Better Day. Marko said that the song was about hope – false or true one and it was up to everybody to give it meaning. For me it is obvious – after listening to it I feel like I can work wonders

Actually, for me, it's the other way around (at least lately). I usually listen to the Poets a little less when something's wrong/I feel down.. I think that's a kinda psychological thing.. I'm just too used to feel good while listening to the Poets, and seem trying to not connect Poets to the bad/sad situation...

Almost all the time. Their songs calm me down.

I just feel like they have a song for absolutely everything. I don't think there's any days in which I don't listen to their songs. Or at least try to play some of them on guitar.

From the poll I see I'm in minority - I can't listen to Poets when I'm that really really depressed. It's because their songs usually make me just happy... for a dozen of reasons. Of course, there are exceptions like Skin... or Carnival of rust (but then again, when I'm listening to CoR sometimes I can see in my mind Marko smiling in the middle of that song at NRJ gig from 2008 and I automatically smile too... so yeah, it doesn't go along with being depressed).

And like Alphawolf I'm trying not to connect Poets songs with any bad situation, I have too many songs bringing sad memories already.

I agree. If I'm angry, the next best thing to attacking a punch bag is listen to something like Meshuggah really loud and get on the treadmill for a bit.
If I'm sad for another reason, eg, relationship problems, PotF do a good job in making me feel better, and/or helping me wallow in it.

Not really. When sad... depending on the situation I might want just to listen to the music that the shuffle on my player decides for me, and maybe get stuck on some song out of no apparent reason. Or no music at all. Or I have 3 'magic songs' that I know will bring me up when I'm in a certain kind of sadness, but for some reason none of them is POTF (and maybe it's better, cos 2 of those I can't listen in other moments, or they'll have the opposite effect of bringing me down I'm weird). Or sometimes I'll just listen to POTF, why not?
I'd never thought too much about it. But it might be like Alphawolf said: maybe also to me POTF is somehow connected to feeling good.
I listen to POTF when... when... dunno, when I feel like listening to some awesome music

Only Poets can heal my wounds...

Exactly! Therefore I listen to the Poets in every mood!

I don't need to be sad or in any other specific mood to listen to Poets. Sometimes my mood only affects which songs I listen to. Like when sad I'd listen to my favourites or the songs that fits my mood, and when happy I'd choose more fun and "faster" songs. When I'm angry I don't listen to much music at all..

Yes. Am I sad or not, always listening. When my cat
and horse died some years ago I usually listen "
Maybe tomorrow is a better day" and "Where
do we draw the line". They're my medicine.

Actually i listen to POTF in every condition that i am.. weather sad or angry or happy.>!
What changes is just the song you are listening to..!

This is pretty much everything I had to say. It happens to me with almost every band I like.

I know I'd already replied to this topic, but lately I've been realizing one thing: I go listening to POTF when I need to calm down. When I'm feeling anxious, restless or lost... and I just need something to ease my mind, make me find my balance again (yeah, the one that slays the demon XP)

...to keep your peace...

Yes, since something's wrong with me all the time... So it happens every time I listen to POTF.
I still haven't completely figured out what that something is..........,..,.,.,.....,.,.

There is music I listen to when I want to let go and get lost in meandering thoughts, and there is music I listen to when I want to find myself again. POTF falls primarily into the second category.

I always listen to PoTF and of course especialy when I am sad. They make me happy. They were and are and will be the best for me forever.

Yes. Because I always know that with their music I can be myself and open the gates of the world, which I'm creating in my stories

i actually found/discovered them, through ronan keatring and radio creme brulee (explained in welcome topic) about 2 months ago at a time when things weren't going to great, i wasn't feeling to good either (hadn't been feeling good for quite a long time). Things happened in my past, lost of bullying for years, that i just couldn't seem to shake of. Like it was haunting me. Whatever i did, i've never felt fully accepted for who i am. Never felt comfortable. Can't really explain.. I've been listening to POTF almost every day since (and other music still too, depends on the mood and whether i'm behind my pc or not ) .
I can't say it's been the cure for everything messed up, of course not. Some things i just cannot change myself , cause in fact they're not my problems to start with. I can help but i can't solve. I can judge but that won't allow me to help, will only get my mind messed up... but i can not agree with something and still (offer) help....
So i'm starting to accept that (i can not agree, that's ok, but still offer help) , move on. For myself: I walk straighter. Start to dress a bit different (more colourfull and not only too wide clothes while i DO have a good figure/weight now, even if i don't see it (when i look down i still see loads of euhm fat. it's programmed in my mind i guess), mirror, husband and scales tell me!) Don't blush and feel awkward&stupid all the time, i used to be angry a lot with myself when i felt i had said something 'stupid' in whatever situation (in the supermarket/shops, on the phone, at family gatherings...). I still do at times. But not as long anymore. I can get past it more easily now. It's not an easy process, but i think music in general, and POTF especially to give me that last 'push' in the right direction i needed, helped more then the cousellor did Though it was great to read (we only email, could not get myself to go by and actually TALK, that's one step too far, stlil) of her that i'm starting to 'find the balance within myself' and that i should be proud of finding that balance within me even in complicated situations. That i don't have a 'narrow mind' and i should cherish that part of me... because THAT is who i am. Not that angry person, blaming everyone including herself.. being stuck in something i didn't even know to describe myself. Except for 'teenage years'. Like i was finally going through the 'puberty' i sort of missed as a teenager..

So, yes i do. But not only at those occasions, also when i'm happy. Depends on the mood wich songs i listen more though! (ror example: right now it's clevermind, sleep, temple of thought and dreaming wide awake, it's been fragile, changes and war before )
