- Originally aired on Radio City, 12/02/14 with a little interview:

Transcription available thanks to Dark Side of Light (thank you!):

Lauri: You’re listening to Resurrection at 99.4. We have Karhuvaara [Veera’s last name] in the studio, good morning Veera.
Veera laughs.
Veera: Hello.
Lauri: I can tell for everyone who can’t see that Veera is wearing a hat that’s covering her eyes at the moment and she has no idea what’s going on in the studio. But why don’t we get the show rolling, we have… This is for you Veera, from all of us.

Poets Of The Fall Marko and Jaska play You’re Still Here.

Veera: This is so cute, I can’t handle it. Can I take the hat off now?
Pauliina: Yeah, you can.

Lauri: Unbelievably amazing Valentine’s Day, Poets Of The Fall here on the radio, in our studio. And there’s a lot of hugging and kissing going on.
Veera: Thank you! What a lovely surprise, oh my! Can anything be cuter?
Lauri: Why don’t you tell us how a little surprise like this feels?
Veera: Really wonderful, thank you. Thank you. I’m just so overwhelmed now. My heart is full of… white hearts that… no, red ones. No, pink hearts that just flow over.
Marko: [Something about white bunnies and something about having talked about other things, can’t really make it out well enough.]

Lauri: So how are you guys?
Marko: Good. My voice is a little down because it’s morning but Jaska played very well.
Lauri: Yeah.
Marko: It’s a beautiful morning. We parked a little ways from here and tried to come up with enough 20-cent coins to pay for the parking for the duration of this song. We managed to do that in the end.
Veera: Ah, yeah, musicians have so much money that they have large notes instead of change.
Marko: Yeah, yeah. Actually we had to kidnap this old woman on our way here and she had… or the collar of her dog had a small coin pouch and we got some coins from there.
Veera: Everyday occurrence.
Marko: Everyday occurrence.
Lauri: Totally.

Veera: This was really so wonderful, hey!
Lauri: Thanks for the interview.
Marko: Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone.
Veera: How’s your Valentine’s Day going to continue from here on?
Marko: I don’t know.
Veera: Anything exciting?
Marko: I think we’ll just go here and there and talk to people and when the evening comes and we’ve woken up we’ll go home and start wondering if we should get around to actually doing something.
Veera sighs.
Lauri: Great.
Veera sighs again.
Marko exaggerates a sigh.
Veera: Thank you!

- Originally aired on The Voice, 12/01/24 with a little interview before-hand:

Transcription available thanks to Dark Side of Light (thank you!):

Radio spoof: Voice First Reaction. Let us know your opinion.
Interviewer: This afternoon on First Reaction we have Poets Of The Fall, Cradled In Love. I’m holding the single in my hand and I have Marko at the other end of the line. Hello.
Marko: Hey.
Interviewer: How’s it going?
Marko: Pretty good. I’m in the middle of adjusting all kinds of things but it’s going pretty good, it’s been a lovely day today, the weather’s fine.

Interviewer: New Poets on the radio in just a moment and it’s surely something that many people have looked forward to for quite a while now.
Marko: We’ve looked forward to it too, after working on it so religiously. That’s the first blast there and I have to say it feels really good.

Interviewer: So tell me, why has it taken you so long to make some new music.
Marko: Well… I think we had a time where we wanted to think about what, how and who with and stuff like that. Sometimes you just have to live a little in between, so you get new themes as a musician and new ideas, inspirations and we’ve gotten those during this time and a lot of things have happened in everyone’s personal lives, so there’s been something to write about.
Interviewer: So what’s going on in Marko’s life? I’ll throw a profound question at you.
Marko: What’s going on in Marko’s life… new winds, I hope. Let’s put it like that.

Interviewer: How is it with… when you think about the musical aspect, has Poets Of The Fall changed during the hiatus?
Marko: Well…
Interviewer: Or can you even call it a hiatus?
Marko: I hope we’ve at least evolved. I don’t think there’s been any hiatus, we just had a phase where we wanted to release our first compilation of the songs we had and at the same time think a little, if we were going to start doing techno or heavy metal. We settled for staying on the similar track as we have been so far. I think it’s somehow, when you live and experience and grow and even learn a little about writing music and stuff. It always makes a small facelift to the music. But you can hear it from behind all that, that it’s clearly the same guys writing this music too. The music is new, but there has to be something familiar in there so that it roots into the things we’ve done before. We have a thought that the next album is in a way a fulfillment to our 2 first albums. So this is the third part of a trilogy. And after that we get to do something else new again.
Interviewer: Wow, that was a whole new concept, a fulfillment of the previous albums.
Marko: Hmm.
Interviewer: It was beautifully said.
Marko: Thank you.

Interviewer: But techno… It’s not there in this first single anyway.
Marko laughs.
Interviewer: But are there going to be any “let loose” songs on the new album. The kinds that make you think “oh, this kind of stuff from Poets Of The Fall…”?
Marko: Heheh. Yes there will be.
Marko laughs.
Marko: Yes.

Interviewer: Tell more.
Marko: Tell more. You’ll hear it eventually. You’ll see and you’ll hear. Of course everyone will interpret in their own way but I claim, looking at the list of songs on our wall, the lyrics and the song titles, there are some things where we’ve gotten a little more experimental. It’s actually pretty fun for us as well, to tread new paths for a change.

Interviewer: Cradled In Love is playing next, tell us about the song before we play it.
Marko: Well, it’s a story based on very personal experiences about love and its many dimensions. And even when you get struck down sometimes, it’s still good to take a look around and see all the good things around you, find support in them and to find that they actually carry you on rather well.

Interviewer: Thank you for this.
Marko: Alright. Thank you.
