Dancing On Broken Glass

Track: Dancing On Broken Glass

Artist: Poets Of The Fall
Album: Ultraviolet

Year: 2018

Genre: Indie Rock

A friend introduced me to my first PotF songs at a bitter-sweet time in my life. Having never heard or seen anything about them, my initial word association skills always linked the band name to Pirates of the Caribbean. Hey, did I say it was a weird time as well? No? Okay.

Just like fall (or autumn as most of us call it) caresses the heat and brightness of summer away, and kisses you with cool breezes and drops of rain, the songs from this band ushered in a new era in my life. They left me fresh and energized, happy and optimistic.

Though I wasn't a big fan of their last album, Clearview, I am relieved to see Ultraviolet as a sure-shot return of the Poets into my playlists. They say the songs on this album are inspired by the facts and events in this world that aren't necessarily publicized and that remain hidden. That it, until you look at the world with an Ultraviolet light to reveal all the secrets- good and bad, happy and sad, beautiful and ugly. What a concept!

Kick back, and enjoy this song with a video that tugs at your heart. If you like this, you might be interested to listen to Love Will Come To You (Jealous Gods, 2014) that is set in the same cinematic universe as this song.

Fall is back, and with it, back are its poets.
