The whole mirror scene after the tarot reading when marko is taking all the makeup and costume props off and in the mirror the harlequin becomes increasingly more distraught until finally completely breaking down crying and disappearing! Then Marko cheers himself with the wine class towards the mirror. Gives us that sweet smile of his and walks away!😻 I legit got chills🥶the first time I saw the harlequin persona starting to panic and cry in the mirror! SO GOOD!🎸🔥🤡🔥🎸
Was waiting for you both to react to this from the day it came out especially coz the Video has Clowns😅😅You should check out Their Songs Cradled in Love and Rebirth too.
True... never ever... I've followed them since 2005 and I havn't listen to one single band as much and for as many years, as I have listened to POTF, before. Magic.
damn this go song go better and better in every time when listening. this video is amazing again like was that carnival of rust. marko can sing and acting so good. this song brings my mind comedy people all over the world, what kinda sad story many have,like suicides in the worst case. being funny take a toll. thanx to great reaction and have wonderful weekend.
Greetings from Sydney. You guys need to do some of their live from Moscow show. It gives you a totally different version of the band that you have seen on their live Alexander Theatre Sessions & also the newer album release videos. I think you will be blown away with how good a live rock band they are. Please have a look
Hi from a fellow POTF fan from Sydney. Until a few weeks ago I had only known The Sweet Escape. Then I thought to look at other songs from their catalogue. My gosh what have I been missing! Esp. CoR song and video. No chance of them coming here is there.
The song is about the tragedy of the harlequin (comedy of art, 15th century). He commits suicide out of heartbreak, but the Fates condemn him to entertain the public for money while his soul cries, performance after performance in an eternal loop. A metaphor for the actor trapped by his character. Nice song, it surprised me.
There are often (not always) clowns, because the albums aren’t just compilations of beautifully poetic songs, but they actually tell stories with some characters reappearing in several videos, as is the case for instance with the Jeremiah Peacekeeper character whose costume and makeup evolved from the one of the character named Zoltar that Marko plays in Carnival of Rust. The costume features the striped shirt, feather boa, top or bowler hat and pale makeup with dark eyeliner, the way we see it in the Moscow 2012 live show, or in the videos Cradled In Love, Can You Hear Me, etc. Poets are a whole rabbit hole to dive into, they’re not only musically versatile (check out their Heavy Metal alter ego band Old Gods Of Asgard that features characters from Norse mythology, like Odin (Marko), Balder (Olli) and Thor (Captain)), but everything they put out there, music, lyrics, videos, promotional and album cover designs) is art at the highest level. You haven’t even begun to discover all of the different sides of this band, and I hope you’ll continue to explore and enjoy what they’ve created over the past two decades. 😊 Greetings from Finland!
Great reaction guys... This band is very talented. Glad you enjoyed this one. They seem to always go over the top with their videos. They have a new album coming out on April 29th. It is called *Ghostlight*. Always looking forward to more from you guys. Hope all is well...
This went straight on my playlist as soon as it came out 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Clowns get a bad rap 🤣🤣🤣 Was just listening to Rebirth by POTF from The Alexander Theatre Sessions. Ep 11. Just amazing 💞💞 Good one guys
For you Baz it went to your playlist! For me! It went straight to my head like a drug and won't leave! I love the song the video... EVERYTHING about it is right up my alley!🤘🤘
Loving the reviews… saw Poets of the Fall live in Dublin 2 nights ago - knew nothing about them but was blown away… touches of nirvana U2 pink Floyd rush Coldplay … fantastic. Would love to see you review Firedancer from Ghostlight… superb track to me. Thanks and hi from Ireland !
Oh, this was pretty good! Will be one of them most popular Poets songs I bet. "Carnival of Rust" and "False Kings" are still better, but this comes close. Nothing wrong with Marco's singing, but every time it is his vocals that are the cherry on the top. This time for me the music out-shined the vocals. It was just so dramatic and catchy.
This was by no means my favorite song from Ghostlight in the early days of the album's release, but it has really grown on me as I thought more deeply about the lyrics. As far as faves from Ghostlight, Hello Cabaret and Beyond the Horizon are battling it out for first place in my mind and heart. The sheer emotion expressed on this album surpasses much of what has come before, in my opinion.
Great song, best enjoyed on Spotify. I f’n hate clowns, they fill me with irrational rage. I get an uncontrollable urge to punch clowns in the face. Did I mention that I hate clowns? Lol Be well!
Suggestion for a VERY different track - Take Control, which they released under the name "Old Gods of Asgard" (it's on the Poets of the Fall youtube channel)
5:58 I don't know what it's called in technical terms within the music industry, but I really love it when the ending chorus has those additional vocals echoing in the back, simultaneously with the chorus itself. It doesn't even have to be actual lines, just humming. And it elevates the whole thing.
Oh Ginger, as I saw the video for the first time at POTFs channel my thoughts went to you.... Now I will see your reaction. For some reason it took me a week to "find" your reaction.

@@zirie3332 I saw what you did there! A little reference to Temple of Thought, perhaps? ;-)

The clowns are back! :)
That little clip from 0:15-0:18 - could you tell me from which video it is from? Sounds amazing.
It’s one of the Cakra Khan reactions. I’m not sure which one

@@Sparkle648 It's a great song 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻
🍻 Basil! I was a bit surprised that this wasn't your suggestion to M & G, to say the least.
@@tarmotyyri6733 They are quick of the mark 😂😂
Let's GOOOO!!!
This song has become my favorite PotF song of ALL TIME!!!
Probably my favourite of theirs that I'd discovered in the last couple of days.
Loving the reviews… saw Poets of the Fall live in Dublin 2 nights ago - knew nothing about them but was blown away… touches of nirvana U2 pink Floyd rush Coldplay … fantastic. Would love to see you review Firedancer from Ghostlight… superb track to me. Thanks and hi from Ireland !

This went to my top 5 from all of their songs! 👍 Can't wait their new album! 😍🔥
Ginger, you should consider this as intolerance therapy
Love that this song sounds more like their older stuff. I can't wait to listen to the rest to see if the other tracks are similar.
Great song, best enjoyed on Spotify. I f’n hate clowns, they fill me with irrational rage. I get an uncontrollable urge to punch clowns in the face. Did I mention that I hate clowns? Lol Be well!
Same Rob. Same. - G

Wish u could react to Nestor feat Samantha Fox -Tomorrow.
You took your time before you reacted to this awesome song!!😂😁😁🥰 Marko ❤POTF!🤘🤘 Thanks for your great reaction 😊 Greetings from Finland!

Oh Ginger, as I saw the video for the first time at POTFs channel my thoughts went to you.... Now I will see your reaction. For some reason it took me a week to "find" your reaction.
We only just got it out. It was blocked for a few days before the guys let it thru.
@@MikeandGinger Yea I noticed that later but at first I really didn't know how I could miss it. :-D Loved the reaction and ofc the magic song.
Yei!
Never seen this channel before. But I like Mike. He grinned like a Cheshire cat much like I did when hearing their new song.
Thanks Dhylan! Cheers - G
POTF absolutely their best followed by carnival of rust
