As a Finn I just keep on watching these reaction videos of this song. So glad people have rediscovered Poets of the Fall! The song itself is almost 20 yrs old! The lyrics just remains mystical, and I like it.❤
Finally! Poets of the Fall on this channel. Would love to see more reactions on them!
Agreed!
One of my favourite songs growing up. Even though I’m hardcore metalhead, songs like these still bring meaning to life.
I am a Deathcorehead, but Poets its my favourite band in the soft genre. Seen them like 7 time live :D
welll i had already grown up.... but ...
@@MegaZombina person of culture, i see!
Same!!!
Wow I had never heard of this band. Thanks to whoever suggested it. I am going to check out more of their music. Thanks Rosalie I love your take on music and life.
Oh, the rabbit hole you're jumping to... These guys are so talented and Marko's voice 🔥❤️ Still on my bucket list to see them live!
if you do then the song War is a must.
Check Amaranthe also, bit more heavier music from Finland.
@@mazz85- Amaranthe is from Sweden 😉
@@helky8 Hmmmmm, what i am confusing this with then ?
Poets of the Fall is a Finnish Alternative rock-indie rock-post-grunge band since 2003 with the Singer Marko Saaresto having a great baritone male voice with good technique and being able to sing purely and very long falsetto, that voice coaches are surprised. Their break or global hit song is this “Carnival of Rust” you just reacted.
Also great one is the “Poets of the Fall - Alexander Theatre Sessions. There they play only a singer and a piano or some acoustic instruments in an old early 1800s theatre in Helsinki with it’s great acoustics. Especially great song from this Sessions is the song “Angel” (Alexander Theatre Sessions / Episode 7) - th-cam.com/video/tTXd90pVjCg/w-d-xo.html - Other song more the rock type with amazing video is their song “Daze” (Official Video w/ Lyrics)" - th-cam.com/video/di7NMssrqsE/w-d-xo.html which has very long chorus Marko singing in falsetto. They have also just released their latest album “Ghostlight” that can be found in their official YT site: th-cam.com/channels/0hNui8bT7yV0Xb8w8YxjHw.html . Enjoy a new great finding :)
And to add to that, many gamers most likely heard them even before "Carnival of Rust" since their song "Late Goodbye" was in "Max Payne 2". A game from 2003 developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Rockstar Games. Their other songs have been in later games by Remedy Entertainment. This is because PotF lead vocalist Marko Saaresto and Remedy's Sami Järvi, known internationally better as Sam Lake, are friends.
Crying can also see as "feeding rain"... cause you can interpret this song about someone taking relationship lightly and other one taking it seriously.
oh well said. good point
Came looking for this comment and i wholeheartedly agree. Feeding the rain -> giving someone a reason to cry.
The whole setting of him being a carnival to her but her being his whole life to him(comes alive when she arrives and dies when she leaves) was super deep for angsty teen me
How could you "feed the rain" if not with your tears?
This song recalls suffering from the depths of the heart
.YES❣❣
This song is a CLASSIC, and should've been spread far and wide for everyone to hear.
It gets better by every listen.
And the voice and arrangement, sublime 🥰
#POtF #CarnivalOfRust
From this band I would also recommend some acoustic sets which are just awesome e.g. Angel (Alexander theatre sessions) or Lift (Alexander theatre sessions)
King of Fools from Alexander Theatre Sessions is also worth checking out:
th-cam.com/video/vAO6khsseYE/w-d-xo.html
Their song sleep is also a must, and cradled in love. Ah hell, ALL their songs
Never heard this band. Great reaction
I think this is a story about forming of the band. Marko used to work in corporate environment if I remember correctly. The man in the booth represents logical side of him who although feels trapped, still operates in that environment. The girl in the gas mask represents the artist side of him. She tries to find something worthwhile in there, but can't find anything and decides to leave. This leads to sort of splitting of the mind moment, which causes Marko to quit his job and form the band.
Poets of the Fall - ANGEL (Alexander Theatre Sessions) Marko singing, accompanied only by a great sounding grand piano. No audience. They uploaded one song per month in 2020.
I know you can't react to everything, but check on your own Marko's falsetto at it's best.
Poets of the Fall - "DAZE" (offical video)
Radio friendly song I would say, sticks to your head right away. Masquerade theme in the video.
Agree 100%.
Their song, Angel Live is amazing by him and the Piano player. chills!!!
Watched this a lot of times. And never tire of it.
A total work of art. The song the video. The arrangement of the music and his voice so much emotion. Yes a complete work of art.
Hi! I was the cinematographer on this one... so thanks for the compliment. A great song, and great work by the video's director Stobe Harju, and the team at Nitro FX who made the visual effects, which were not a small feat considering this video was done about 15 years ago.
Wow for real? That’s amazing!!
@@rosalieelliottofficialYep, for real ;-)
Finally! PotF is just amazing band!!! So many absolutely great songs! No matter live, acoustic or music video!!!
This is excellent! POTF is my second famous Finnish band after the mighty Nightwish. They've also done an admirable international career. They are very versatile band doing anything from ballads to hard rock. Marko Saaresto is an excellent singer, mostly acclaimed for his pure falsetto. As an 'Fall' person myself, l really love their deep thought melancholy. This video won some prizes for it's artistry back in the days.
Their latest album "Ghostlight" (2022) was my favorite album of the last year.
Great reaction and thinking of this song. But please make reaction of their song ”Angel” episode 7 from Aleksander theatre. You will hear great singing of this guy and great piano play.
I just came across this band a week ago. Have been adding many songs into my listen-later folder. Love the lyrics in them. Well written and yes, poetic. I'm going to keep exploring this band. Thanks for your good indepth reaction! ❤
The music video is definitely one of the best Finnish music videos of all time, if not the best. The director Stobe Harju, is the creative mastermind also behind Poets' two other music videos: Lift and Locking up the sun, and his visual wizardry can be seen in the music videos Noise and Islander by Nightwish. The character Marko is playing in this video has been inspired by the Zoltar animatronic fortune teller machine. The looks of the character are from Marko's imagination (as he is amongst other things also a graphic designer) as he elaborates in an interview by Dukascopy Stars also available on TH-cam. For me this song is a tragic love song, pouring out your heart even in the event of premonition of your love walking away while your heart is burning for that special someone. In live renditions of this song there is an introductory stanza, not included on MV or CD. "Down behind the gates of darkness dwell, the man in the box between heaven and hell, with his broken heart sings the song of love". Even that won't make the interpretation any easier. The greatness of Poets' songs is that the lyrics are always enigmatic, full of imagery - which leaves (with purpose?) room for personal interpretation. Just as art should.
I have just recently been to a PEOTF live show in Hamburg, Germany, maybe 3-4 weeks ago. This was one night to remember, that´s for sure. The next time they are playing somewhere close by, so anything up to 500km around my hometown, I will be thrte again. An absolut blast to see them live.
Love them since they composed the final theme of the Max Payne 2 video game back in 2003 or so. Love them!
Hello from a yet another finn. Always happy to see new ppl finding this Great band. You will hear so many wonderful songs if you keep on listening to Poets. Poets forever (and into everywhere) ❤
Man i love this song , I have asked a ton of reactors to react to this song and none ever did , so i just stopped asking , Thank you Rosalie
The charismatic voice channel did a reaction to it. And also a great analysis too.
As you´ve may seen, most reactors do these reaction only when paid...
@@tapio7133 Yes 100% I have seen that a bunch , they are pay to play reactors
I've seen some PotF reactions, just type it in the search box...
@@punkjay4681 I did not say that there was not reaction available , i said that the ones that i asked never did it
Red cape and foil might be a illusion to a matador with a cape and a sword. The cape is the distraction as he comes in with a sword for the kill.
Indeed; good detail to point out!
Nice reaction Rosalie. All new band and song to me, and very interesting video. I will explore them more.
I freaking love you, girl. Your breakdown of the lyrics is spot on!
Thank you very much! :)
I believe 'red cape and foil' pertains to matadors and bullfighting.
The best music from last two decades in Europe, has been coming from Finland; Nightwish, HIM, Amorphis, Poets of the Fall, Stratovarius, Steve 'n' Seagulls, Children of Bodom and Sonata Arctica. I hope You have time to Check these out...
A wonder of a song , great stuff ! Thank you ! Greetings from NWaSE Sweden
Another wonderful music video which gets nowhere near enough attention for how heartbreaking it is, is "Welcome to my life" by Sunrise Avenue.
Makes me tear up every time.
First time watcher here, I love that you try to provide insight, your own interpretation of the lyrics, of the piece itself. So many reaction youtubers just watch someone else's content and call it a day at ''Oh that was so cool thanks for suggesting this''. What you do is much more compelling, and actually worth watching
Has she reacted to Nightwish's Ghost Love Score yet ? :P
The “cards” that on the side of him are tarot cards that change or flip throughout the video. Also. The line “Red cape and foil” reminds me of a bull fighter.
Just found the reaction to this song, a song that i love.
A few thoughts on the lyrics if the man in the box is her
Heart and the Lady with the mask has her senses impeded
and she cannot see a way through her pain.
She is in the deepest recess of her mind in her carnival of rust.
She turns to symbols the tarot cards in the video for her answers
"Red cape and foil come closing in for a kill", This metaphor represents the deception of the matador, where
he uses a red cape to deceive the bull, (our trust) then the foil (sword) is used to kill the animal, (To make a killing, a con) she is being deceived by her choices in life represented by the vendors
in the video, she has been here before in her carnival of rust to search for answers ,
represented by the vendors change in face angle which you noticed.
In the end she takes the doll representing the same wrongful choices in her life
and walks away looking down a bleak street, but she pauses as her heart keeps imploring
her to return Cor Cordis or cordium Heart of Hearts and we are left to ponder will she return
to find out what is really in her heart of hearts
in finland when singer first name is marko,it´s always mark of perfect voice :) thanx to react this underrated band. have wonderful day there. this band making lot of music with video games. max pain,alan wake,control ect. they music also sounds like james bond music many times.
New band and song to me, thanks for sharing, very Queensryche! luv it
Poets is such an underrated band, thanks for reacting to them 😊
While you're at POTF, just listen to 'Drama for Life'. A highly intense, musical masterpiece.
There is gold in them hills. Keep digging!
Thank You for Your reaction and greetings from Helsinki, Finland!
I recommend Requiem for my Harlequin mv from their latest album and Angel live from the Alexander Theater Sessions. Also this song and Lift from their Moscow concert 2013. Fantastic live band.
They celebrate their 20th anniversary this year. I’ve loved this band since the release of their very first album. Not only is his voice amazing, but Marko’s lyrics are in a league of their own, always very poetic and beautiful. I’ve rarely heard such beautiful words before, not even from songwriters who are native speakers. If you get a chance to see them live, do seize the opportunity, all of their shows have an amazing energy, you’ll definitely enjoy it. Thank you for taking the time to not only listen but also pay attention to the lyrics. Oh, and to appreciate this band even more, you should also know they have always been independent (by choice). Everything they put out there, from albums, videos, merch, artwork, etc, is their own. It certainly helped that Marko has a background in advertising, he ran his own company before he formed the band and decided he wanted to be a full-time artist instead. Wonderful reaction, thank you so much! 🙏👏
The lead singer's voice reminds me a lot of Corey Taylor's voice ( lead singer of slipknot) absolutely loved it, the lyrics are next level , definitely Bard quality! ( Which the name of the band already conveys that) thank you Rosalie! Your breakdown of the lyrics is incredible, you're spot on in your varying interpretations. God bless!
YoUR FACIAL EXPRESSIONS FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL GROUP AMAZING !
I find you as a really smart person, and enjoying your intelligence through all your reactions.
This song is beautiful, as is the voice, but the lyrics are of a narcissist's yearning for his victim.
The song is, together with the video, a pure work of art.
Thanks for take notice of fantastic Poets Of The Fall.
One of the most underrated bands ever. I absolutely love them, and thank you for an awesome reaction.
Happy you have found POTF! IF you let me..let me guide you down this rabbit hole! You gonna love this group..they have the IT factor..seen them a few times live..next up Angel from Alexeander Theater session..an acustic version of the song Angel 🤗 love you thougts and reaction! Do you ever breath 🤔😉 when talking 😅 love it
Almost forgot to comment this.. Many thanks Rosalie! It is so true: "Real Talk, Real Reactions!"
Keep up the good work!
Also nice to notice that this has helped some to find new music; sometimes people just check reactions for the music they already knew. 👍
Saw them live in 2019. Markos voice is just amazing, in or out of studio & the overall interaction between the band was great. If anyone ever gets the chance, do take it!
Another great one you react to I have heard this one a few time and like it I think they do a great job the video is pretty dark and crazy but all in all this is a very solid performance thanks for the ride it was a good one as always your ride or die forever Eyyy Oooo
Awesome song , I would love to see your reaction to "Choice Millionaire" by them as well (very interesting clip), or you you want to hear exactly how amazing his voice is "Moonlight Kissed" would be perfect
That is another great song from them; nice that you picked it up!
Choice Millionaire is awesome. I’ve always seen it as a sequel to Carnival. He finally broke out of the machine and now he’s the one in control.
I love when people first discover POTF -when they hear Marko it is so wonderful. I have loved this band for sooo long now and still go back to watch these reaction videos. And Hail -Old Gods Of Asgard for the amazing performance !!!! May sooo many more people discover this band.
They also do music for video games from the studio Remedy. Games like Alan Wake, Max Payne and Control. But do so under the name of an in game band called The Old Gods of Asgard.
La canción es preciosa pero la voz
La voz del cantante es increíble
Maravillosa 👍
Very nice reaction and just shows how deep their lyrics are... You can interpred them various ways depending on listener and that is always cool...
I highly recommend Cradled In Love, Requiem for My Harlequin, and Daze.
Welcome to poets of the fall, where both the lyrics and videos have more than multiple meanings, and their talent, just off the charts. If you want a recommendation, check out their Alexander theater sessions. I’d suggest starting with angel, specifically from the theater sessions.
Yeah, we have something heavy in our drinking water.. Greets from Finland 🤘❤️🇫🇮😂🔥
world is burnin'
In my opinion he´s the best male vocalist coming from Finland. Cheers from Finland btw. Started my holiday today. Watching this and drinking beer is a greatway to start a holiday \,,/
Poets of the Fall-Where Do We Draw the Line- you can hear his voice much better. He has a hella beautiful voice.
So lead singer marko like david from disturbed is classical trained. You should hear marko sing a song called angel its amazing.
Your interpretation is quiet accurate.
Reminded of my university days. Good old times
They deserve 950million views!
One of my favorites band too.🎶🥰🎶🥰 Marco is the lead singer and his voice is absolutely amazing… so smooth, like ear-candy!👂🏼🍭🍬🥰 This song has a few years on it, but you can find newer ones and Marco still singing Amazing!🥰🥰🥰
Liked everything.
AH! You don't know how happy seeing POTF here makes me! My teeny Finnish heart is full.
Such a great song and video
Hahahahah, yeah..hahah, hey everyone..
For some reason this brought to mind a song I haven't listened to for year's but would be a perfect fit for this channel.
The band is 10 year's and the song is wasteland but it has to be the music video for the full impact. The song itself is only a small part of it, it's the people they highlight and the real struggles they went through that is the real focus of it all.
Feed the rain because rain makes things rust and she’s feeding into his carnival of rust just my interpretation
Love poets of the fall.
Carnival of rust was what hooked me
I've always associated the line "feed the rain" as adding to the rain with your tears.
Who else is here because of the release of ALAN WAKE 2? 👻🔥👍😎
If you want to do a deep dive to the symbolism of this excellent music video, watch "Carnival Of Rust | Song meaning and symbolism | Music video explained bit by bit" by the channel called Learn A Logic.
Temple of Thought unplugged live studio is a great way to understand why he is such a great singer or the live sessions at Alexander Theater, this was a great reaction btw keep going!
read as deep as you want into things my girl. love your takes on this finnish classic. love your personality and energy. sincerely, a finn just on a nostalgia trip seeing what other people think of this song :')
You should also check out the song "Daze" by poets of the Fall
First time hearing them, getting Nightwish meets Katatonia vibes...which means I will be checking out everything I can find this band...happy days
I always recommend reacting to Johnny Cash - Hurt. One of the greatest cover's of all time.
POTF ❤️❤️
Next i recommend the song Angel from Alexander theater sessions
Locking up the Sun is in my top 5 songs from POTF.
"red cape and foil closing in for the kill" = Matador

Fun fact! Remedy games like Max Payne 2, Alan Wake and Control have Poets of the Fall on their soundtrack! 😏
He can do it just as well live.
You NEED to listen live version of this
Carnival by Mr Bungle is one of my favorite songs. Try it
Haters are gonna hate... Tearing people down may make them feel better. Just feel sorry for them!.
Whatever you feed will grow, it will be nurtured.. but remember that rain feeds rust.. especially salty rain.. like tears..
Also, foil is bullfighter's sword.. One plays with the bull for quite a while, before it's time for the kill..
The one that is thirsty for our love and is jealous of the love ppl give to God.
Beth Roars has a video, not available on YT. Worth watching!
Ich kann es nicht alles interpretieren. Nur diesen einen Aspekt, davon:
Sie kommt zu díesem Automaten. Wirft eine Münze ein. Und erweckt ihn damit zum Leben.
(Dies' wird fiese! Vorsicht!) Sie nimmt sich die Zeit, sich ihn überhaupt anzuschauen. Sie gibt dafür sogar eine Münze aus.
Und er verliebt sich in sie. Sie, die ihm Beachtung schenkt. Ein Geschenk! Jeder könnte an ihm vorbeigehen.
Sie schenkt ihm diese Beachtung!
Aber: sie steckt keine zweite Münze ein. Ihr Interesse ist erloschen. Und damit auch seine Hoffnung, geliebt zu werden.
Ist eine Fiese Interpretation. Weiß ich!
"To take a 2nd look" ist soo wichtig! Dieses Lied macht eine Galaxie auf, von Liedern: Der erste Eindruck. Und der zweite Blick.
Kennst Du "First we take Manhattan" von Leonard Cohen? Da hat ein deutscher Professor mal richtigen Mist geschrieben.
Ich schau` auf Reaktionen, um zu lernen.
Herzliche Grüße aus dem hohen Norden Deutschlands!
Thanks for your reaction! I think they likely wouldn't put it this way, but I think of the Fall as the fall of man from the Garden of Eden; Poets of the Fall. Marko has a fantastic voice. You'll notice in the video that the carnival barker that gives the girl the doll at the ball throwing game and the man in the box are the same man (Marko). People try to read too much into this song. I think it's just about a man whose broken relationship is drying him out and tearing him apart. The rusted carnival can only come alive again if she "waters" it with her love for him by returning to him.
Marko Saaresto voice is very professional and great. 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮
I just love the band since 2008 and this song especially! Even my best friend loved it, our friendship broke and it was so hard i still could hear and love the song, even i couldnt do the same to other songs we both loved and let me feel like a monster. But not „carnival of rust“ I just love his voice! A lil better than carnival of rust is sweet escape. Not bc the lyrics but of his voice🧡
Beautiful and emotional, even though I don't understand the message.
Poets of the Fall and Amorphis has maybe one of the best lyrical style rock/metal songs from Finland. Highly recommend checkout Amorphis songs. PS. Another amazing band is PoisonBlack.
'bwfore red cape and foil comes for a kill'... Like in bullfights... I imagine
and words...😂 then you know ❤
You should check out the live version from a concert in Russia.
this is one of my fav bands... if you have a chance listen to temple of thought
