I can confirm that they are AMAZING live, much better than on the albums. I saw another sold-out show of theirs just yesterday. The studio versions are great, but live you’ll get that extra fire and tons of positive energy. They’ve always been a band whose members genuinely have fun on stage, and the good vibes they are sending out to the audience are returned to them tenfold by the people watching. Which, in turn, adds even more fuel to their performance. Check out more live videos, preferably an entire show, and you’ll see what I mean. Btw, check out Angel from Alexander Theatre sessions, if you want to hear Marko’s vocals stripped down to just him and a piano to really relish his beautiful voice. And if you want to hear what other styles he’s capable of doing, check out Choice Millionaire, ”Control” by Old Gods of Asgard (the name Poets use to record their songs for video games), or their cover version of Adele’s ”Rolling In The Deep” - just a few examples of this band’s versatility.
All songs from the new album, Ghostlight, are amazing. Two of the best which show off Marko's voice range as well as some beautiful guitar solo work by Olli are "Hello Cabaret" and "Beyond the Horizon." There currently aren't music videos for these, but they are way worth listening to and commenting on.
The guitar solo was, technically speaking, simple. What's interesting is that it is very rare for POTF to have ANY particular instrument used in a 'showy' manner. An instrument will be the focus of a passage but not outstanding or played for self-grandeur. I think this is one of the reasons their music balances well and they gel well as a group. They are passionate musicians but the focus IS the music and the writing and imagery, not themselves as the musicians.
All Songs From the New Album are Amazing.
The song Beyond the Horizon from the same album as this song is AMAZING!
I don't think I can ever thank you enough for leading me to this song. :)

Try Daze. His voice will surprise you - plus it's really good song. 😅
Agree 100%. Fantastic song, vocals and video.
Thanks for your great reaction 😊🤘
If you get a chance, go to their live shows, they are amazing!
