@ I didn’t do first hand research but it seems she had some legal/personal issues with a licensing/label firm and it resulted in her getting a gag order because of which she couldn’t publish her own albums. Her music isn’t available on Apple Music either, but Remedy has been working with her for a while and they figured out a way to have her produce for them. Her gag order might be expiring too… but yea, her songs are definitely not as accessible as the Old Gods of Asgard for example
Poe being 100% canon to the Remedyverse is an amazing thing, and I hope to see/hear her more in future Remedy titles. Sam is a fffing genius ♥ and they made This House of Dreams blog also canon, to me this DLC is gold also for the lore 🤩
@@TylerMcShane It was made to promote American Nightmare back in the day. Ties into some stuff from Control too. Some people speculate Samantha Wells from the blog is actually Poe, but it's not fully confirmed. It does say websites affiliated with her and that they are monitoring it.
@@TylerMcShaneYes, Poe’s character specifically is Samantha Wells, the woman from This House of Dreams. Another interesting point to note, THoD takes place in Ordinary, Maine. The same town Jesse and Dylan Faden lived in as children, when they experienced the Slidescape AWE.
@@xCarnageV1 damn so people went back there? U’d think they would lock it up. I don’t remember them ever making a cover story. Also, how do u know sam is poe?
@@B1g_B0sssss I don’t think Remedy has ever gone into great detail about Ordinary beyond the AWE that occurred in 2002. Aside from that, *all* we have is This House of Dreams, which takes place around 2012 or so IIRC, and places Samantha Wells as living in the town around that time. She mentions having neighbors, so the town is definitely inhabited to some capacity. Regarding the Poe/Samantha connection, we find a cell in the Lake House where a musician was being kept, while Poe’s song ‘6 Deep Breaths’ plays in the background. In that same room, we find documents relating to the patient/musician. Her name is redacted from all filings, but it’s specified that ‘REDACTED’ has a direct connection to This House of Dreams, as they include a direct hyperlink to the blog in the documents and correlate its ownership to that of the patient in question. And it’s specified that the ‘6 Deep Breaths’ song was created and performed by the patient in question shortly before she disappeared entirely, likely due to the power and influence of her music interacting with the Dark Place.
I just realized six deep breathes was a way for Agent Estevez to calm herself down, and I think this song describes how she was feeling as she further descends in The Cauldron.
An important thing we are forgetting in the beauty of this song. This parautilitarian used this song to somehow escape FBC containment. The song is in the game. This character might actually relevant to future stories. The symbolism of the song being used to escape is interesting, but it is only a minor part of the actual importance.
@@TheBreakingBread that is awesome. I've been putting off reading House of Leaves. Need to just dive in. We better see her in a game. I'd love to see her live action music somehow. Like we do with the Gods Of Asgard.
@Fatikis42 it is a fucking wild book. And I truly hope both poe and her brother keep creating things because holy shit they are talented. May not be your cup of tea but it will definitely be remembered
‘The cage is a sky that suddenly showed me how to fly. You can’t have my dream.’ This lines up so well with Alan realizing the nature of the Dark Place and how to escape.
Poe’s second appearance as a character/musician in a video game. She first appeared in Apocalypse with Bruce Willis from 1998 developed by Neversoft. That game actually had her first song in it ‘Control’. Maybe it was just a coincidence with the song title and Remedy’s previous game where Poe is canonically in the universe now. It feels almost like Poe was written as a Remedyverse character. I hope she plays a bigger role in the universe now. Knowing This Road is a canonical song, and Poe’s character is a powerful parautilitarian, could she have helped Alan get out of the loop?
The way it was phrased in the documents has people thinking that Poe might be Samantha Wells from House of Dreams, which would be realllyyy interesting.
The echo of this music spilling into archives was beautiful touch. The data from FBC suggested that POE is one of the projects being studied because she is parauterian. I'm pretty sure we are going to get some mission where she is going to sing what is happening in real time, maybe even giving you hints..would be cool imho.
So I’m wondering where did she went or go? Did she went to the dark place? Created her own reality within the dark place? Like Zane did? Or she just return back back home? I need to know what happened to her. Man this dlc is peak. I just finished it now.
@@ChampionsOfLight My headcanon is that the videos that Poe did in her YT Channel was her process being captured and the last video that she did was calling out on, not just the whole music industry based on a comment that I’ve read, but also to the FBC couple that were in the lake house dlc and just said f you guys, I’m gonna be with chilling in my own zone/reality I’ve made and her just dipping out of the lake house. Then if we get Control 2 we get an Easter egg that she might help Jesse in events of the game either main story wise or part of a sub mission. Like a song about her or song that she made just for Jesse if she’s in trouble or having self doubts on herself. Man now I want to see the Poe singer again. Or maybe better but it’s a reached she shows up in the Max Payne remake or the FBC firebreak where like Ahti she also helps the protagonist/player in their journey.
@@WhatIDeserveIEarn yes that’s exactly what I’m thinking. Like since she escaped the lake house, we don’t know what her fate is. She just can be chilling and vibing in her own reality or she’s went back home or is in the dark place until she sees someone in danger or like she’s observing the remedy universe one day and she wants to help the protagonist which is Jesse. Also imagine Poe and poets of the fall making a “late goodbye” remix. With her and led singer potf singing the song together. But I doubt it since it’s based on Sam Lake poem. Or even better POE making an original song just for Mona Sax in the remake. But what are you guys thoughts on if POE makes a song for control 2 or Max Payne remake or FBC firebreak game?
The couple references to roads makes me think that maybe this fictional artist is also behind "This Road", maybe? Love that we're getting more and more ficitional musicians in the Remedy verse. Colab between her and the Old Gods when?
@ I know Poe is real. Though like with the old gods and poets of the fall, this song is attributed to a fictional artist in the world who was held by the FBC
@@reedjos08 If you read the physical documents and not the transcript, all redacted mentions of the artist's professional name are three letters long. Who else has only three letters for their stage name? Poe.
Anyone think of Jack from lost? Not 6 seconds but 5 "I'd let the fear in, let it take over, let it do its thing, but only for five seconds, that's all I was going to give it. So I started to count: one, two, three, four, five. Then it was gone. I went back to work." At least that's where my mind went. Estevez was a nice protagonist. Poor Rudolph Lane shit was haunting.

Still can’t get over that they literally wrote a reason for Poe being gone for so long and then made her escape that by writing a banger song 😭😂😂🤯
I love that "I feel like I'm floating on air" just the way Poe says it is so cathartic for some reason.
It’s amazing how the song encodes such complex feelings/emotions. Amazing piece of art.

This song is so cool, it makes me feel so many things
When I encountered this song in the Lake House, I was like, Taken can wait, I'm vibing to this.
There are two distinct breaths that are both hers at the end. At the end they synchronize.
She somehow uses another version of herself to escape.
Soo gooood! Poe doesn’t miss!
Poe: "I should be recording it, this is great stuff"
Door: ''Record this for ... the other Poe listening as we speak?''

Given how Remedyverse works it would been cool if Poe's song literally gave her ability to "float" through thresholds.
