Antti Filppu

Lyrics / Flor & Blancheflor Antti Filppu

This is a collection of "mythic poetry", composed with 7-stringed & 12-stringed lyres. Or, songs for a band that never was, lyrics for music that does not exist. Although I have written "lyrical poetry" since 1995, and while some of it has actually been used as lyrics in a band (while many other parts may yet to be used), I have written everything as if it was "real poetry", thinking (and hoping) the music and sounds will be found within the words themselves, or, between the lines at least. There are also photographs included, and together with the verses they may give the reader / the watcher an other kind of angle than usually when reading. Quite early, in the late nineties, I fell for an old-fashioned "high-culture poetry", but still kept the form of a pop song. Whether I have achieved something new (content-wise) or it has all been just fooling around, I will have to leave for the readers to decide. http://www.lulu.com/shop/antti-filppu/lyrics-flor-blancheflor/paperback/product-21827897.html
