I love seeing people discuss the meaning behind POTF's music. It's true poetry - there is never one TRUE meaning to a song. It's all about the person and what they get out of it and how they can relate to it. It's so great seeing so many different people's thoughts. POTF truly has an amazing fan following.
+K. Rosrot Really you should watch 'Daze'. Completely blew my mind away. Ofcourse I also really liked all his other stuff, but Daze man..... That acting
Music to fight abuse of power to. Also one heck of a Superhero theme. Not for slower variants of giant robots, though. This is a rolling, airdashing, parrying storm of righteous defense.
Once again, another song that cements my absolute love and adoration for this band! They are my favourite musicians and have yet to be beaten by any others.
I love how pretty much every one of this band's songs have a deep meaning in both their songs and the music videos... gotta hand it to Stobe Harju, he did a really good job on picking images for everything.
I have heard this song probably a hundred+ times, but now, listening to it after many years - it has a new significance to me - it seems to hint at the truth I found myself - that when it seems like "the ships is sinking", when it seems there needs to be a "hero to save the day", when people are "taking up arm" to fight something that seems threatening them outside of themselves... we can just find a solution in all the emptiness, because its inside us - it has always been there... we are just so obsessed with finding the heroes, villains, feeling like the ship is sinking, finding solutions to an emptiness, that is actually not outside at all ... we are so busy with the "problem" that we never realize it was never there. The problem IS us looking for the problem, instead of looking at the solution within.
It's definetly the best band I've ever listened to. I've known them since I was eleven years old, almost like seven years ago now, and though I've taken a look of many other bands I've never found anything like this. It's really a great pleasure for my ears to hear this song anywhere and at any moment. What I like the most is being able to "meet" people that listen to POTF too, coz' I live in Spain and here's not too much to see about this great artists. GREAT BAND!!
Sometimes internet is fascinating. You can find fans of less known bands from Finland all across the world. Cheers from Ukraine! Hope more people get to enjoy their songs.
Damn, these lines really reminds me of the Doctor. "Is there a hero somewhere? Someone who appears and saves the day. Someone who holds out a hand and turns back time? Is there a hero somewhere, someone who would never walk away? Who would never turn a blind eye to a crime.
That hero,would have to keep on...even if,little by little...he saw,that the corruption was so bad...the actions being taken,he realised,became the fall of his country...because,no one thought,what they loved,what they had so much of...the wealth of it's country,was mostly because of that corruption...he'd have to watch it all fall apart...because the wealth of it...was the wealth the corrupt brought...because we never stopped to ask,never stopped to think,hey...how do we have so much...how...where's it come from...how do they get it...is someone suffering because of all we have...we just asked,demanded...until the country was inbedded with the blood of others across the word...but as long as we're good...by the fruits you shall recognize them...we are rotten...that man who rises...would have to follow those corrupt...catch them...and see,how the country fall apart,because the reaction was inevitable...far spread...it collapses the country...catching corruption is when all the dominoes fall...us within the dominos...are we prepared to face the reality of knowing,were all corrupt???
Potf is my favorite band, because the singer has an amazing voice. The text is magical, and the sound is just ... atypical for most of their song. I'll stay a fan until their last breath. sorry for my english, i'm french ;) ^^
You guys are the perfect example. When someone is not famous enough, your friends never watch them. When they discover this someone did something important... ""They are so amazing, how come you never told me abou them???"
Rikeilan EXACTLY. It's something about the mentality of the "herd".. They think all good things come from within the farm. That there is nothing good outside of there.
2:48 - best metaphor in the vid.. turning the cone face thing into a dunce cap once they see the light... how clever was the guy who came up with this video anyway? jeez. love it ;D
I am truly shocked that those lyrics are too relevant right now. Like omg, this was written years ago and still i see A LOT of similarities in the current world :C
Brings back memories of sitting on the couch in the dark in the winter with headphones in and it being really cold in the house and me being alone But anyway, great song heheh...
I remember first hearing this song that was used in a tribute video to Optimus Prime from Transformers Armada. I feel very thankful to remember after last hearing it many years ago. :)
Proud to say I've had a few people I know become interested in this band just from listening to a few songs. The conversation usually goes: - "I like this song. Who is this?" - Poets of the Fall - "Who?" - Poets of the Fall - "I've never heard of them" - It wouldn't surprise me that you haven't. They're from Finland. - "Nice. I should check them out." :D
I always get freaked out when people say stuff like "be true to yourself" and "look inside yourself". First of all, if I lie to you, what makes you think I'm not going to be lying to myself? Chances are I am. And I have looked inside myself. No absolution, just a grinning, charming devil with the face of an angel.
I love all their music but they could do a whole album of songs like this and “Don’t Mess With Me” and I’d be perfectly happy. Anyone else with me on this?
This song took me instantly to the world of Poets of the Fall. I am definitely not a fan of "lighter" rock, but Poets of the Fall is a fine band and keeps doing pretty awesome stuff!

Poets of the fall is one of those 2000's rock band that didn't got cheesy at time or aged badly
what about their newer music?
@@Jmgjgdjd5 People with nicknames like yours have no right to comment.
@@Jmgjgdjd5 I absolutely love their new music

Only discovered this band a few days ago via Carnival of Rust and they are growing on me fast
found them 7 years ago and still a fan
hhwjjwj
Alan Wake led me here
Same here. 2017
This is Finnish band and I'm from Finland. :-)
For me PotF is the only band the whole discography of which is absolute gold. There’s not a single track I would skip.
Heard it first time 9 years ago. Still sounds amazing. POTF never dies...

The singer is actor material man.

+Elise Nooter Funny thing is that after that comment I watched the rest of the videos and yeah, I reiterate hehehe
he is perfect material for joker role in Batman movies...just watch daze...he did great job
Indeed
Marko is some method actor I am telling you.
This song needs to be in a superhero movie
Thats why I said 10 years ago. Someone edited this song for the intro series Heroes many moons ago.
It was in finnish tv commercial of heroes
this would go against the message of the song. Unless in the end superhero passes his mantle to common folk
It's in Alan Wake 2 soundtrack
This would be a good credit song for Control 2 when it comes out; unless they write an original song for it.
17 years later this song still rocks.

Kinds surprised that this song wasn't in Quantum Break, it just seems perfect. Especially the part about "turning back time"

This one and Carnival of Rush are my favourite for me... They have so much emotions in them. I love this band
"And in the emptiness there's no solution, just look within yourself for absolution."
Poets of the fall lyrics.
Just discovered this band through my daughter. Wow they are incredible.
their lyrics and songs carry so much meaning!
how are they SO UNDERRATED!
Damn, these lines really reminds me of the Doctor.

Good God, this song is addictive/incredible. I have to find a CD of these guys.
Who doesn’t turn a blind eye to a crime🥀🥀
it’s a Masterpiece 🖤🖤🔥🔥
Once again, I have to say... I LOVE this band! I'm so glad TH-cam suggested them to me!

EXACTLY.

undefinablereasoning Yep. And when an outsider gets accepted they worship them like a god!
Rikeilan Only the outsiders were ever worshiped like gods, you know.
nekezajebancije Hm... not what I meant. I meant it in a different way.
Rikeilan I know. I just expanded it a bit. :)
As in: the ones they worship as a god was/is an outsider, and they don't even know it.
Never gonna get tired of this song!
Вселенная держится на великолепии Марко!До чего же он прекрасен!!!

It’s been 3 years since I last heard this song AND I STILL LOVE IT ✊✊✊
This song is just soooo amazing... omg. These guys are my absolute favorite band, and that's coming from an american where they aren't very popular!
There is a hero. There really is.

CodeDarkBlue i can relate
came here from rise against ballads, love this shit, this band is awesome started to listen to them every single day
that's a good song. I always enjoy thier work. They have some great sounding stuff.
Love these men, they are really poets.
So proud to be from Finland 🇫🇮
I remember first hearing this song that was used in a tribute video to Optimus Prime from Transformers Armada. I feel very thankful to remember after last hearing it many years ago. :)
A new music video needs to happen with their next album, next year. I hope they'll collaborate with st0be again!
I like the singer's accent when he says "It's a bad trip on a sinking ship"
Almost sounds like he's from the south of the US
Kimi Timoskainen I knew that already. I’m just saying that the way he pronounces some words makes him sound like a southerner
Stobe I'd perfection when it comes to directing he is a phenomenal director and with creativity
I once had this song stuck in my head for 3 days in a row. It was a good 3 days.
How is their every song so perfect
Remember your past ,this music moved through the time shift , it followed your dreams and now amazing in this era !!!!

Painfully accurate...very good lyrics.
thank you it's for a part is your help that I needed while suffering from my own heart ache...
This song deserves 1 billion views.
bro this song is so relevant for whats going on in the u.s.a rn
Exactly what I was thinking.......
yep
Amoooo essa música!! Amo Albafica!!
the best song eve heard......
hatts off 2 poets of the fall...
Awesome band, awesome songs, and music videos that have so much meaning in them to add to the words used.
From this to Alan Wake, definitely didn't have that on my Bingo card by I'm thrilled by it.
After all these years I finally found it. I had it heard in a Grievous tribute which is now taken down sadly
i only just came across them today...i keep clicking and clicking and clicking...seems like they don't know how to write a bad song
Just now learning about this band. I like it! Great work, guys! Thank you
My favorite POTF song!!!!
These guys deserve more fans.

How has his voice not aged in the least??! Marcus, what is your secret?
Marko
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say I'm in love with this song and video.
And PotF.
God all he needs is the right material and exposure and wham bam bop boom instant supper Star. Fantastic vocals!!!!
The master guitar solo in this one
Magnifique, simplement.
This song holds a lot to say for the current state of shit.
True..
This is basically the same comment I was going to write. Great minds, eh?
Hido Kanashima Events recur when the people stay the same. 'This state of affairs' was probably a sometimes thing in Rome and Sumer too.
Love your voice, and love your videos a true poet lyrically and visually☺
why didnt i hear from this band before..... did i lived under a rock ? sounds pretty fucking cool
I love these guys. Just completely LOVE LOVE
10 years and still the best❤❤
Love this guys
Art.
Its music like this that gives me hope that there still is good music somewhere in the world
This song rocked in 2008, and it's just as awesome ten years later.
Chadonraz this was released in 2006
Really we need a hero very much rn. Someone who we can look up to during these tough times, as I feel like God has forsaken us...
1:30 Love how megaphone-Marko makes fun other Marko x)
Always have a hidden messege. Total inspirational
LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song should be on the top lists!! Dafuq is wrong with people??
Amazing band, amazing singer...
So many ideas come to mind for another music video while listening to this song
Alan himself is a masterpiece
