Poets of the fall never disappoint. Always loved their choosy dark themes. Cinematography and his crispy voice suits perfect to this song, band deserve all the praise and love. IDk there is always special place for Carnival of rust though..... much love and stay blessed
This is like the sequel to CoR.
@@samuraiko As well as Daze, or at least a bittersweet love(lorn) letter of sorts to that video...
@@samuraiko Go watch the video for Choice Millionaire closely. :)
& Daze. I wish they made a part 2 to Daze.
Same. For me it will always be COR and FALSE KINGS.
The clip is a bright mini-performance, a Buffoonery with a touch of tragedy: the main character, an actor, attempts to get rid of his insane character.
The composition is powerful, a kind of whirlwind of passions and emotions that tear the hero apart. Harlequin's make-up mask has grown tightly to his face, Harlequin is no longer just a character, he has become part of his personality ("I've got this madman in my mind..." - Drama for Life), but claims to be more. Harlequin - or Alichino - is a demon who needs the whole soul entirely...
Guys, a great song, an excellent clip! Мы вас любим!🎶💖
At first I thought this song was about lamenting the loss of a comedic profession from ye olde times...
but I got chills when the video showed that's it's actually about losing a part of yourself and not being able to get it back.
This is Marko in all his glory. So much so that even the other band members, who are usually very collected & composed, went crazy.
Long Time workers
i've been casually enjoying poets since alan wake, but recently i've begun exploring their music outside of the remedyverse and i sincerely wish i had years ago. there is no band like these guys. everything about their work is gorgeously artistic, and this new release is no exception. i hope they're with us for a long time!
I know them since Max Payne 2. Song: Late goodbye.
Poets of the fall .. the only band i have been consistently listening to from my early 20's till date. And indeed they never disappoint..
This is on repeat since yesterday. I lowkey wish for these dudes to go viral somehow.
I look so much forward to seeing you guys live in Denmark, Been a huge fan ever since i heard you in Max Payne
Браво! Как всегда великолепны!!!
Поэты, вы лучшие!
New album on the 29th? That sure made my day, it's been too long!
Love the new song!!! Was looking forward to this all week!
Liked even before watching because I believe.
Прекрасная песня))) Очень нравится. Ребята, спасибо большое за новый шедевр. Обожаю вокал Марко.
И новый образ, как всегда, безумнее предыдущего))
This is a requiem, for the harlequin
Here we go, once again
🥰Шедеврально и бесподобно, просто за гранью фантастики!!!
"Реквием для моего Арлекина" 🎸🎤🎻🎵🎙🃏
POTF forever!
I love you guys from late goodbye until now ❤❤❤
Nice job🎉
I am really happy that my cousin suggested me this song. This song is so good 😭😭😭 carnival of rust was my fav but now I guess this is now also my fav one😌😌😌😌🙌🙌🙌
A M A Z I N G !
Today i first time watch one of yours videos, and cant stop. This is truthly wonderfull. I wanna visit you concert soooooo much!
Flawless
Poets of the fall came to me at one of the worst phases of my life almost a decade ago, healed me and stayed with me ever since!!!! It's a gift that keeps giving. Thank you for everything.
Could be my own comment... 2012 - thanx to someone (very) special!
These guys definitely have the power to make life more bearable 💙
Same here! Thank God I decided to play Max Payne 2 again back in 2009
@@francovers22 max paine 2 has there songs in it ? I only played the first one.
@@davidlilley2736 Late Goodbye is spefically written for Max Payne 2.
These guys never disappoint.
Couldn't agree more!!
One of my favorite RUclipsrs likes one of my favorite bands....?! I'm dreaming! I can't agree more though. Their music is stunning and moves the soul.
YOOOO, but I cannot BEGIN to express how ecstatic I am that you're a fellow Poets fan! AWESOME!!! 💗
Hey Cju!
Именно так! И никак иначе! 🔥🔥🔥
WHAT A GREAT SONG!!! The mirror scene at the end is fantastic!
Reminds me of that clown dressing up meme, but reversed and in a style of "Adress Unkown."
Yes!! Our handsome man toasting himself, makes me wonder if it was meant to be seen as a “we’re putting the ‘campy’ stuff away and gonna take things more seriously this go-round” … 😍😍😍
They style❤️
@@jelly0190 Within the alchemy analogy of psychology, it's citrinitas, the 3rd of 4 stages on the path of individuation - being able to put away your personas, with them no longer puppeteering you.
How the mirror image desperately tries to put the makeup back on is golden.
That's ignorance and hypocrisy trying to win over wisdom and sincerity. The make up is the disguise of ourselves we do in front of people. Our "social self". We never show up who we really are. When you stop trying to please people all the time and start being honest with yourself, it's the time the joker on you will try to take back control, and you have to be strong not to let it.
That whole mirror sequence and how the harlequin's reactions escalate literally gave me chills the first time I saw it!
Oh, I agree, I also felt sorry for him and I said "No, don't need, don't get rid of, don't leave, don't need." To be honest, I still feel sorry for Harlequin no matter how much I watch and listen😅
Scrabbling to maintain his existence before he’s left behind.
He’s a self-aware facade facing his own mortality and doing everything in his dwindled power to hold on.
From begging, to vainly trying to hold back the reality and finally breaking down in despair before he’s washed away.
Ironic really considering that this character used to be the king of the ball back in Daze.
@@An_Kuz24 Well, may be now and then he will be let back in, on special days and in special moods) короче, не все потеряно)
Petition to make Marko the new joker for the next Batman movie.
Agreed
Only if there’s 1. Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and 2. He sings this song to her.
the world couldn;t handle Batman losing that badly
This song should be used for the soundtrack to the new Joker movie.
I have pressed like already 😄 so excited for this, the album, and seeing you guys in May! Thank you for providing some light in such a dark time. I can always count on you guys to lift my spirits. ❤
Edit- WOW! The guys have outdone themselves once again. What a masterpiece of the imagination! They never fail to astound me with their boundless creativity. Very proud to be a Poets fan. Now, to go break the repeat button...
Same! I cannot wait to attend a concert/show with them if they ever come back to my city in India!
@@shazmatazz6769 last time they came to meghalaya tho
@@piyushpati7319 they were in Bangalore but I couldn’t go see them then cause of exams 😭 hoping I can see them soon!
Top of the topmost❤️
@@shazmatazz6769 I'm from Kolkata, the city which they visit everytime they visit India.... And yet I can't attend any concerts czzzz of my dumb luck🥲
Why has Marko not made to Hollywood movies/series yet. Imagine him both acting and giving soundtrack of the movie/series as well 😍❤️
He really should appear in the next Remedy games.
Agreed, he is a natural actor. Admittedly, I admire how well he is able to express and convey thoughts, feelings and sensations! He could have (or still could) become a great actor for real!
Hopefully he never decides he wants to have a go at Hollywood. Not because he wouldn't be a great actor but because that world is beyond toxic and I wouldn't wish that on him.
@@EmmaBailts Agreed, I meant being an actor in general. Doesn’t mean one needs to be famous or globally known Hollywood star
Or an anime series this music would fit so well with a anime!
Like because Poets of the Fall does never EVER disappoint!
Somehow this felt like a reminder of both Carnival of Rust and Daze, with references to more recent stuff. I love it!
gosh I had the same association. circus theme again but so different every time!
I said that it sounds and looks like a mixture of old and new PotF.
@༒♡Angelina♡༒ Youngboy sucks! I hate that overrated rap garbage. This is real music.

To those interested in the Tarot Cards, they're specifically the French version called tarot de Marseille. The first card is The Fool(ou le Mat), second is Death, third is The Magician(ou le Bateleur). Interestingly, The Fool is typically card 0, but in TDM has no number and Death, card 13, is also known as "Arcane sans nom" (arcana with no name). The Fool can mean the start of a new adventure, while Death can mean the end of something or rest/taking a break. The Magician means power, skillfulness, potential(meeting it?). Perhaps a reference to the fact that Clearview, Ultraviolet and Ghostlight are supposed to be a trilogy?
Thank you for saying the Death card isn’t what people think it is. The Media always portrays it wrongly in works fiction.
EDIT: I AM A NOVICE AND THE REST OF THIS COMMENT IS MISGUIDED. I left it here for context.
The Magician represents earning power and meeting potential.
The _Inverted_ Magician represents unearned power and squandered potential.
On that note, never trust a Tarot reader that doesn't shuffle the deck in a way that allows the cards to be inverted.
Clearview was a nice album by the way. Lots of people complain about its mixing, but there are catchy songs like Once Upon Playground, Shadow Play. Moonlight Kissed is a really deep one
Wow. This is so fascinating.
@@denkryvoshei4589 I definitely enjoyed Clearview a lot.
The best thing about this band is, you don’t even have to listen to the entire track to like it.. first few seconds are good enough to add in the playlist! Constantly brilliant. Thank you for keeping music alive
exactly !!!🤩
Indeed. Only a few seconds are enough to realize this is a gem.
This band is so underrated and deserves much more attention! This is way better than the shit topping the mainstream charts or nominate for grammys these days.
So true. I've been always thinking this way
Yes!!! 👏
@Frank: Echoing your view here but I think audiences need to be more discerning and STOP tuning into their local terrestrial radio stations which have become notorious for featuring a narrow selection of music on repeat for the last 20 years (at least in the US). There are plenty of online radio stations that play music by Poets Of The Fall. In fact, a bunch of pop music fans (as opposed to fans of rock) have discovered the music of Poets Of The Fall on our online radio broadcast and have fallen in love with these guys. As for this album, we wish these guys had led with a radio edit of "Revelations" as opposed to "Requiem" (although it is a good song).
Except Dream Theater thoroughly deserved theirs 👌
Agree 100000% ❤️❤️❤️🙏potf needs more recognition 🙌
Over here from Alan Wake 2! You guys are awesome!
The music video is incredible. The guys and Miika really put a lot of thoughts and effort in this and it shows. And Tiia looks so beautiful as a Tarot reader. What a pleasant surprise!
'Wake up, your chains are porcelain', is such a motivating lyric, GOSH !
Woow! I love this song! And video!
"Forever lost" from the beginning of the video is an anagram of "Lovers forte" from the end.
Also, I like how the glass of wine is not on fire this time. Nice tie-in to "Daze" and much safer for Marko I guess.
Dancing on broken glass explains it a bit more than daze does.
Very on the nose with the theme of Tarot cards and reversing them, the meaning subtly changes but is fundamentally very different.
@@vuthara8725 If someone wants to do a proper reading that would be great
@@chiffmonkey While I'm not a reader myself, I do know the interpretations of the cards he was given:
The Fool (Either unnumbered or zero) represents a new beginning, often a leap of faith; The Fool travels to a new land, bringing with him only the clothes on his back. When reversed, it indicates it is something one should be hesitant about jumping into, as recklessness on this journey may end it early, it may also represent a lack of the faith needed to be successful in this new endeavor. Either way, the beginning of something is inevitable.
Death (thirteen) Is the card that is often feared out of superstition (explaining his reaction), however, a reader will/should never try and predict deaths. Often this card refers to death in the sense of transformation; death of an old idea gives life to a new one, it can be difficult, unexpected, terrific or terrible. The main takeaway is that to attempt to avoid this change will only make the current issues at hand worse, which is what it's reversed form represents. It can mean that one is having trouble letting go of the past, death can haunt us all, but holding on to grief only prolongs the pain.
The Magician (one) represents willpower, representing someone who has gained the skills and abilities needed to be successful in their endeavors. Often this means that one must use their will, focus, and intellect to achieve your goals as they present themselves. When reversed, it means a lack of that clarity, that someone can use your skill and ability for their own selfish desires, it is a caution to tread lightly around those who are cunning and deceiving, perhaps even that cunning person you need to watch out for is yourself.
Do take that all with a grain of salt, as it is only my basic understanding of the cards, but I hope it's accurate enough to explain how the symbology of their music lines up with these three particular cards. I know I found it fascinating.
I start to think that only reason poets makes music video is that the band members can dress up all fancy. Great stuff guys keep it up! Love Olli's solo ♥
We love not olny the solo, but Olli himself♥
I can't wait to hear this miracle!*__* Guys, thanks for giving so many positive, magical emotions and for what you are✨🦋
UPD: I want to say a huge thank you for almost 6 minutes of happiness! 😍 Most of the day I watch the clip and I don't get bored of itxD Thank you for the imagery, for the drive, the staging, for the cute smile at the end)) I am sure that I'll revisit it more than once, and the song will be forever in my heart and for some time to repeat❤️ Kiitos, love you!
How have I never heard of you guys? I mean holy shit so far all your songs have been nothing but masterpieces to me, y'all deserve way more attention
So true... 👍
@@helky8 We've been saying this for years, but Hollywood likes the same shit over and over
@@theoriginalop yep, it's hard to get attention if you don't have huge promotion. And they choose to do things on their own (smaller).
You should listen the song Carnival of rust made by this band. You won't regret it for sure
Ja da kan du bare hade så godt blææææ buuuuh jeg har sukkererter eddabedda.
The three tarots at 3:49 follow the meaning of the song. If my tarot-reading knowledge is worth any salt, the three represent the past, the present and the future.
The Fool represents innocence, new beginnings, hope and the such. It also means inexperience and naivety. Being green, with all the consequences that it entails.
Death is not necessarily death as we know it: it can mean illness, separation, but also change. Like, radical change. Crisis, an end, failure also falls into the spectrum of meanings.
The Magician stands to depict how one can be free to choose every direction, or needs to, even. The magician arcana is about talent, resources, being determined and the such.
Many others can understand the lyrics' deeper meaning better than I do, and already explained so. They pertain to the struggle of letting go of something, or someone, that simply cannot fit in your life and go towards a new beginning. I did not happen to see any comments regarding the tarots, so I just thought about adding this to the pile.
Great song, of course. The video, the acting, they are all icing on the cake. I myself am currently struggling with life choices and the dread of going nowhere, so this strikes a chord with me. I'm still the harlequin behind the mirror, trying to re-apply make-up that part of me wants to get rid of. Hope y'all fare better.
I definitely got the feeling of "change" from this video. But also possibly a feeling of an end to an era? I wonder if this means they are stepping away from the music industry or if big changes are coming in their music
This was what I came to find in the comments, thank you
@@DauntlessDame42
Feels like it’s personified by the Harlequin character they’ve had on and off.
Ever since Twilight Theatre, to the Daze video and now here, if they give a requiem to the Harlequin perhaps that’s what they’re leaving behind?
Очень приятная музыка, в вашем стиле. Глубокий и сильный смысл. Спасибо, это здорово. 🥰👍😍
Maarko is amazing when it comes to portraying chaotic insanity.
Chaotic evil.
I think this is a case of it giving way.
The elaborate performer stepping offstage, lay aside the mask, the persona and return to the real self.
I couldn't have said it better
POTF is underrated. They deserve much more than they have!!!
They don't need
I have cried, laughed, maddened, and soothed by these immensely talented stars.
I have LIVED by this band for years and years of my life.
I'm just so lucky to be alive in this era, where Poets of the Fall lives
Beautifully said!
Same feeling 💕
I think this all the time. Can you imagine discovering them 100 years from now? I’d be so mad, ha
Me too!! They've created true masterpieces!! And they just get to me in so many special moments!!
I can relate to that ❤
Хоть что-то порадовало в этом году. Спасибо ребята. Музыка это все что осталось.
Согласен. Это единственное что спасает нас от уныния этого мира.

Alan wake 2 I found out this band.
For me it was the first Alan Wake, and I've been a huge fan ever since
@@3winters372Max Payne 2 for me. Fell in love instantly Alan Wake helped it further with the Old Gods and the War music video. ❤
This song speaks to me in a deep level. To me, it's about coming to terms with yourself, not pretending anymore to be someone you would hoped to be, but could not be in the end. Facing and accepting yourself and learning to love that true person within you, which will make you strong and happy in the long term.
This realization finally has a theme song! :D Much appreciated!
that is quite the analyzation, I dig it
Same here bro. Being the eternal fool gets old at some point and you have to scrub the clown make-up off and show these false kings what you really think about them. To quote Journey from '86: _when you can't give no more
, they want it all but you gotta say no._ You have to _be good to yourself, nobody else will._
Yeah indeed, I got the same feeling... becoming one's true self... releasing whatever's been holding you back.
same, bro same!! i constantly sing it on my way to work and home! this song has spoken to me so much that i remind myself daily to let go of all and just accept myself for what i’ve done and who i am because of everything!
True words, 'brother.'
I can't be the only person into these guys now because of Remedy Games. >.>
Wow, those lyrics, that visualisation, everything is great.
P.S. Can't wait to hear your work in Alan Wake 2!
I love it how Marco combined the gentleness of Edward Scissorhands (oh, the hair as well) and the chaotic energy of Joker in a single persona!
Lovely song!
P.S. Is the seer Tiia? She totally rocks this outfit!
Yes that's Tiia! She's stunning with the outfit & the character - fourtune teller!
WOW! Just from the first seconds of this song I knew that "Requiem for My Harlequin" will take a special place in my heart! Can't wait to hear the whole album and this song at a live performance... Miss you, dear Poets... very, very much.
Upd. just listening and listening and can't stop. What do you do?!
I don't know why but when the Harlequin removed his make-up and changed to a sophisticated man, cheering his new and better self, it made me shed a tear. Choosing to be the better you, stand out in the crowd, in a world full of clowns and chaos. No words-- it's just beautiful and deep. Great work, PotF!
Eu também.
I _weep_ for the Harlequin. I might not enjoy being alive, but he clearly _loved_ it, and, well... now he's gone. He didn't want to go, and it wasn't his choice, it was the voice of conformity, of being a "good boy" and playing nice instead of being himself. Worst of all three worlds.
So, in full anticipation of this upcoming song/video release, I decided to have a look back at some of their previous videos. I know it's been talked about all over those video comments, but it's interesting to think what sort of easter eggs/connections we'll see in this and future videos. Following them since Alan Wake after hearing 'War', I recently realized Marko's mask in 'Daze' looks similar - especially the left eye star - to the TT mask on the album cover. And the ticket represents the release date? Cool. And then there's 'False Kings' and 'My Dark Disquiet' - is he portraying the same person in both videos? He looks more...'disheveled' in MDD and at 2:54 of that song, he says 'we're false kings and bastards'. I know to some/most of you, these are old headlines, but just hoping I'd stir up some conversation around the thought that goes not only into their lyrics, but their videos as well. Last one - it's stated the 'Carnival of Rust' video makes reference to each track in the CoR album. I still can't find them all. Who here has?
I don't think I can add any reference to your list, but I'm sure we'll have fun decoding the new video on Friday. One still frame has been presented hours ago, but the director made sure it doesn't reveal much - a fine art of teasing. I'm not sure if that makes me hyped or frustrated :D. We'll know more on Friday. And this overarching of symbols and motives is precisely what kept me glued to Poets, wanting to know more. There was one fan commenting these easter eggs/connections, and I loved reading his comments. I hope he's lurking in shadows right now. As wild as his theories seemed to be, a good deal of them actually made sense and he pointed me into some intesting directions.
@@anitaninkovic5194 Agreed. And that one still...I'm with you on the hype train. Black/white, shadow of a Queen, reminds me of the Knight on the Clearview cover and of course, them playing chess in 'False Kings'. they sure do know how to keep us guessing.
@@kjstew21 They know how to keep us guessing because they are well aware of where they used which symbol, and they are really just playing with their own references in an intelligent way. How can you not love them, then? ;) 'It's all a game' - (Carnival or Rust :D) and they are puppet masters :D (The Game). :D

Как всегда великолепно!
This is a requiem, for the harlequin
The great pretender, crashing' down with style
Here's to the fall of man, fame to dust
To fortune, to sand
The great surrender finally arrived
[Chorus]
This is how the requiem loves the harlequin
Wake up, your chains are porcelain
Like a phoenix from the ashes we will rise again
This is what the requiem loves to hear you sing
To the beat of your fool hеart hammering
One more timе, we'll cry into the night again, woah
[Post-Chorus]
(Woah, woah!)
(Woah, yeah!)
(Woah, woah!)
[Verse 2]
This is a requiem for the comedian
The one who used to deftly dodge in time
You cut a sparkling gem, never heeding the warning
Of the silver glint of knives in hungry eyes
This is how the requiem loves the harlequin
Wake up, your chains are porcelain
Like a phoenix from the ashes we will rise again
This is what the requiem loves to hear you sing
To the beat of your fool heart hammering
One more time, we'll cry into the night again, woah
[Post-Chorus]
(Woah, woah!)
(Woah, yeah!)
(Woah, woah!)
[Bridge]
So how does it feel now?
Tell me can you let it go?
The wrong you can't undo
So how does it feel now?
Tell me can, you let it go?
The wrong you can't undo
[Chorus]
This how the requiem loves the harlequin
Breaking up this heart of porcelain
From the ashes we will rise again
This is what the requiem loves to hear you sing
To the beat of your fool heart hammering
One more time, we'll cry into the night again
This is how the requiem loves a harlequin
Wake up, your chains are porcelain
Like a phoenix from the ashes we will rise again
This is what the requiem loves to hear you sing
To the beat of your fool heart hammering
One more time, we'll cry into the night again
Ok here's the thing. Never heard of this band before. I'm from the 80s metal generation. This is incredible! I'm excited to dive in and discover more and more from these guys. They're far from typical 80s type stuff, but killer vocals, awesome riffs and heavy guitars, an actual guitar solo, visually exciting, excellent musicianship on all levels. This is going to be awesome!
soo go listen insomnium
Welcome to the Poets-verse! 🎈✨🎸
Poets are incredible. Welcome to the party!
The group has a side band called "Old Gods of Asgard" that's styled like an old metal band, you might like it. Children of the Elder God is a real jam!
You may have heard of Captain during the Amiga days, he was one of the top composers in the mod scene.
From 4:08 to 5:05 we see many dark faces of humanity; incredulity, wrath, negotiation, desperation, egolatry and sorrow, specially 5:05 is something not many people are capable to do, after all your worst enemy is yourself, this whole album is pure gold
Марко бесподобен. Его голос это нечто потрясающее.
Я вообще не видел их особо. Но вот этот клип увидел и прям влюбился в них. Костюмы просто пушка в клипах и антураж такой, голос у него крутой
Wow, the evil clown from Daze has fallen on hard times, it seems.
"Requiem for my Harlequin" --- "A song of remembrance for the one who brings me joy and amusement"
I love that the title alone could be interpreted in so many different ways, and the lyrics themselves are so deeply symbolic while still striking an emotional chord. You guys prove time and time again that I will never get tired of listening to your songs!
That's interesting, I interpreted it as having a more positive connotation. Like saying goodby to foolishness and facade and embracing clarity and truth. But I think It might, in some ways, be a little of both as truth often hurts more than lies.
Yeah it does seem like a complex set of feelings, to let go of the deeply cherished character you’ve played for so long (“Tell me, can you let it go”), but at the same time embracing “your true self shining through”.
@@castlecatt259 Foolishness and facade are the only things that allow us to speak the truth without being persecuted. In this case, what you call positive, I call negative.
@@CoralCopperHead
In one sense it can be to let go of the daydream for reality.
Whether that’s a good thing is up to us.
Is it better to live in a daydream with the innocence of fools? Or to face the truth and put aside the masks, to be who we are?
Without dreams the real world seems quite sad and cruel, without truth nothing has meaning.
@@rustkarl And there lies the paradox: The real world is indeed sad and cruel, and nothing has any true meaning. The only option is to put on our masks and change them as we need. The real issue rises when the masks we need the most begin to break -- most of mine would look like those china teacups that shattered and were molded back together with gold. Or in my case whiskey, I suppose.
I just can't even explain how pure and beautifully choreographed the whole thing is - from the lyrics to the symbolism with the makeup fight between the harlequin and the man outside of the mirror at the end. How have I not discovered you all before! 😩
What a beautiful way to show the freedom of being yourself, coming out from the cocoon or shell (in this case the makeup of the harlequin) and the struggle not to stay buried underneath it all. The video is wonderful and the music is pure bliss. Great job! 👍🏾
Alan Wake and Control brought me here, i'm so grateful to have found these guys.
SO excited to see what the next chapter of their music journey Poets has in store for us! Glad to see our dear jester/harlequin survived the flames of Daze! 🖤
Well this, I have to admit, is a pleasing surprise, to find the Seraph enjoying the Poets of the Fall. I was once, or maybe even to this day, entranced by your earlier works. I do not know why in the dead of night, scrolling down the comment section and finding a familiarity, gave me so much unexpected warmth. I thank you and Poets of the Fall for this unique experience. I humbly ask you to create a work to honor the jester or the fortune teller and let this bands beauty spread.
To the music that unites us all and greetings from Finland.

Spectacular. Poets of the fall is truly the most consistent band I've ever had the pleasure of being a fan of, 9 albums now and I've never been disappointed, I can't wait until the full album releases and I have more poets music in my life to listen to regularly. Bravo gentlemen.
They could also do what Falling in Reverse does nowadays and only focus on making killer singles.
Then again, Poets of the Fall always does killer singles.

Какой же у Марко бесподобный голос.. просто нет слов. Лучше мужского голоса я не слышал. Божественный 🖤🤍
What an incomparable voice Marco has .. there are simply no words. I have never heard a better male voice. Divine :3
Funny, I think it's a bit weak sounding. Never liked it very much and wished they had a bit more powerful singer. Well, good for you if it fits your taste. :)
Марко, как всегда, на высоте!!!
Отличная работа Поэтов!!!
Он действительно очень хорош.
His voice beloved from Every corner of the world.
Сорвали с языка. Реально редкий богато окрашенный мужской тембр. С таким можно только родиться.
I love your songs guys!!!
I know, why is every song they do simply the best?
а? да?
no i love it more
Очередной великолепный шедевр от признанных мастеров. Поэты, вы лучшие!
Киркорова напомнило
Визуалом?
Да вроде и не близко даже))

Shivers. Another banger from an immensely talented band
Very cool song and video. I am encouraged that it sounds like the guitars may play a bigger role on this album than the previous two. I also felt like on the last album in particular, there were a few songs that didn’t sound “complete” (they improved them immensely in live performances and single releases). But at least with this song, I feel like they took their time and made it be the best that it could be. I eagerly await hearing what else the new CD will hold!
I agree 100%. I loved Ultraviolet but some songs felt unfinished. When I saw POTF live 2019 they had changed a couple of the songs, for example The Sweet Escape and In A Perfect World, which felt more rounded and whole with the added guitars etc. However, this was a real great start for Ghostlight, very eager to hear more from this album indeed!
@@pk2237 Exactly! I also love the lead they added to “False Kings”.
This was kind of different song and I honestly love it. Especially the chorus will surely play in my head for at least a couple of days. Very catchy. I'm so happy I got a chance to work with this amazing band.
An underrated artist commenting under a video of another underrated artist, and one to already have worked with them as well.
But did you refer to "Striven" with Marko when you posted this, or did you actually take part in something regarding the album Ghostlight? Possibly something big even? And how did your comment get buried this deep?
What an excellent song. Love this band! Poets of the Fall is such an artistic and creative band, yet their compositions are so precise and tight. I remember being a casual fan about ten years ago, but with each song my admiration of them continues to grow. Aside from the great music, it's got to be said that not many bands can take a great song and somehow make it better after the listener becomes a viewer. In other words, when I listen to Poets of the Fall, the masterpieces that are their music videos play in my mind which makes the listening experience even more intriguing. Then of course, there's the fact that these videos and characters are linked which becomes an even more intriguing and inspiring experience.
со времен красивого клипа Carnival of rust этот клип шикарен, и песня динамичная такая, актерская игра на высоте , браво, Марко!!
Cradled in love номер 2, эта третья. Carnival the best
Мне ещё нравится клип к песне Daze, он не хуже.
I can't believe I only learned about POTF a few weeks ago. No music has given me such chills since LP's Meteora in 2003.
This is absolutely magnificent.
Welcome 'here' :) :) :)
I first heard their beatiful song 'Late Goodbye' in the so so sad ending in 'Max Payne 2'. And then I knew, that this is super band. 20 years later and I'm still loving Poets. I'm from Poland, i'm nearly 40, but for my first time I'm planning to take girl that I love to Poets' concert. Poets for Life!
Спасибо большое за яркие эмоции. Ежедневно смотрю этот клип!! Это самое яркое событие этой весны. Великолепно !! Браво маэстро!! Вы и не представляете сколько позитива дало в мою жизнь ваше новое творение!!!
Ждём альбом!!!!
I love the theme of duality in this song. It's almost like they are going for symbolism related to how the band has evolved and changed over the years. A return and subsequent farewell to numbers like Carnival of Rust, Daze and Cradled In Love while also embracing whatever the future may bring. Regardless of the inherent meaning, this is another absolute banger of a song and I adore it!
Another perfect song!! You’re great, guys! Love from Brazil. ❤️
Super concordo. Brasil aqui tbm e ouvindo esse lançamento tão esperado!!!
We fans are quite a few who pressed the like button without seeing the video and hearing the song! We trust you blindly, you will never disappoint us.❤️ All the songs and videos without exception are fantastic! So demanding, spectacular, artistic.😍 Can't wait for it!🥰 Pure art!✨
That was me too. Lol
Cant stop listening to this masterpiece 😟❤️❤️ who else does?
This song and video came to me at the perfect time... thank you, POTF. You've changed my life. ❤
Edit: That moment Marko cheers his own self... waking up at that today helped me a lot. 01/04/2022, Poets of the Fall is my new favorite band.
The whole presentation man! Beautifully put together! Can’t wait for the album now!
I have no words!
I'm just impressed❤️❤️❤️
This style is the Best for Poets🤗🤗🤗 I knew it would be like this🔥🔥🔥
Did Marco really say goodbye to this image? 🌟🌟🌟
Як завжди неперевешені!!!!🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
В мене вже 2 доби пісня не виходить з голови. Дуже допомагає пережити всі жахи цих днів.
Highly underrated band. One most of the most surreal music compositions and lyrics!!. They really are POETS!
AGREEEEEEE !!!! (So bad u_u)
I wouldn't say they are underrated, multiple songs including this one had millions of views and they are topping the charts regularly in Finland
...Великолепный Марко, браво!!!! Ваша игра безупречна! Благодарю Вас и вашу команду, за время, за голос, за Великого Дурака в этот День!
@@ekaterinaermashkevich7571 Я тоже ждала концерт два года, но обвинять их в русофобии некрасиво. Все зарубежные артисты отменяют концерты, они не могут пересечь границу.
@@ekaterinaermashkevich7571 Они отменили прежде всего из-за нестабильной ситуации с валютой и границей. Сейчас, может, и можно приехать, а через месяц-два всё позакрывают. А для них это убытки, которые им терпеть непростительно учитывая независимость лейбла. В посте к выходу альбома, в одном из комментариев, они открыто заявили, что искусство вне политики, и сожалеют, что из-за проблем с логистикой и оплатой у нас будет тяжело альбом приобрести, плюс выразили надежду, что скоро всё наладится. Вдобавок, их ещё в 14 году спрашивали мнение по поводу ситуации на Украине, и они заявили, что это к их делу это не относится. И, если бы дело было в русофобии, вряд ли они продолжили б вести страницу в вк. Короче, нет тут никакой русофобии.
@@ekaterinaermashkevich7571 А не знаешь, почему весь мир неожиданно стал русофобами ? Вроде все нормально было и тут "ни с того ни с сего " почему то весь мир про русофобию заговорил... Не понимаю, что происходит
Эти ребята точно вне политики. А в Пути случится может всякое, это лишь технические нюансы, к искусству не имеющие отношения. Потому оно и искусство.
@@ekaterinaermashkevich7571 .. а какой смысл? запрещает искусство кто-нибудь или нет, искусством быть оно не перестанет. "Роза пахнет розой, хоть розой назови её, хоть нет". 🌸
С нетерпением жду.
Поддерживаю!
Я тоже!
И я ಠ_ಠ
Each element in the video is carefully chosen, even the Tarot cards fare from the Innocence of the youth to the stonecold player to highlight the end of childhood and the birth of a Champion. Great show and excellent lyrics. Keep up the good work. (Y)
They also relate quite well to the 3 trilogies - child's perspective, adult's perspective, elder's perspective
My only regret is that I have but one like to give.
This has been published at the aprils fools day, I have been hoping all this time that this isn`t one of those jokes and this wont disappear :D
Всех слов русского языка не хватит, чтобы описать, как же я рад вновь услышать голос Марко, и чудесную музыку группы. Будто старый друг вернулся после долгой разлуки.
5:17 - лучший кадр.
Поддерживаю =)
Согласен, прям мурашки пробежали по коже от прослушивания. А по текстовой состовляющей это будто завершение куклы колдуна киша
полностью поддерживаю!!! обожаю марко и всю группу, концерт в уфе был огонь, еще раз бы приехали)
Абсолютно те же самые чувства, точнее не опишешь))
@@IamRealNoob тоже был в Уфе в 2014, запомню на всю жизнь)
Voy siguiendo los pasos desde siempre a Poet of the fall. Mi Marko increíblemente poético y mágico en lo más alto nivel, bravo bravo 👏👏👏👏 felicidades a ti a tu equipo nos brindaron mucha alegría, espere con ansias este momento.
Круто!Любимая группа в своем узнаваемом стиле! Жду альбом!
I just want to say thank you Poets of Fall for existing. You guys don't know what your music did for me
Lo mismo digo.
Poets*
I hope the Joker 2 could use this video as inspiration for its script. Instead of being just a musical with Lady Gaga in it, it could be an analysis of the character of Harley Quinn and how she ends up being infatuated with Arthur/The Joker.
Oh I love this so much! Seems indeed like a beautiful soul project with lyrics and melody and visuals look stunning! This is why my teenage self fell in love with this band and still loves it after all these years. Thank you again Poets of the Fall being part of my journey through sometimes very rocky and uncertain life. You were always there to make it little easier.
You know, seems like everyone's been here since the long time ago, and that's me who discovered these awesome guys just a month or two ago. Enjoying and loving you, my deer Poets❤️
New fan or old fan, you're part of the family ❤
@@rebeccawilson2865 thank you a lot❤
I guess it's a typo, yet "deer" instead of "dear" makes this sentence 10000% more entertaining xD
That's the best part of the Poets. Their new songs still appeal to the old fans, and their old stuff still feels good to listen to even today. Glad you found these guys!
@@Scarecrow94rn omg, I'm so sorry, didn't notice
but you're right, that's entertaining :)
