It's almost 2 different personalities when he falsettos. The acting/facial movement and character makeup is mesmerizing. Literal pure talent. There's something so hypnotizing about this performance. There's a charm. I wish this could be a character for a movie and he played it.
I know it's been years since this comment was posted, but I'm going to try my hand at using this look as inspiration for drawing a cyberpunk style benevolent mob boss character. Blending those baroque fashions with the cyber aesthetic as you see in his wig. I hope to do it at least a little justice. Such a beautiful inspiration. My best friend/rp partner and I are having so much fun with this.
Indeed, makeup brings up "the lines" of the face, the lines becoming more visible their changes also become more visible enhancing the impression of expressiveness, I think. Also, looking at every other clip, he's just as expressive
The makeup on his left eye compliments the makeup on his lips. Without either of it he would look scary or maybe horrible. That's what the makeup artists should be appreciated for.
I am seriously addicted to this video! Marko's expressions are quite simply mesmerizing. The song and music are fabulous. Poet's of the Fall are absolute musical genius, I cannot get enough of them.
First time I heard this song back in 2014 was from the Finnish radio. Back then I was working in a night shift and my work was sharing newspapers in the coyntryside with a car. They played this song almost every night for maybe 2 weeks because it was just relealed and every time I heard it was just as magical. Imagine driving trough the countryside all alone in the dark of night and then this song starts playing. It was pure magic. The memory still gives me goosebumbs. Such a great song with great melody, lyrics and vibe.
I wish the radio stations in America play music like this. They play nothing, but complete garbage! The only way to listen to this music in the states is the internet.
"Daze" Rolling down the free way, master to the speed of light, Screaming up in the air, bursting through the night No rest, I've stayed here too long, It's time to move on Reality's a three way, a scenery defined By tomorrow dubbed a mystery and the past just blurry lines If there's ever been injustice in my name, I bow unto blame And you can give me everything I need this way We'll be loving till the first light of the day Set the world on fire with bitter sweet desire To chase away the night, let the whole world burn Set the world on fire for bliss in sweet denial, oblivion and peace Will you let me burn?

I think, rather than "with constant companions" the line is "we can't stand companions" but I could be wrong. It's what I heard and seems to make more sense with the following line.
@Internet fam Julia The subtitles are most likely to be correct and this comment isn't really 'needed'..? Not saying that you can't comment the lyrics.
I’ve grown up with this band. Poets have been with me since almost 12 years now. Heard the song Roses and was so taken by their work. Marco’s voice is magic. The whole band is sensational, different, unique and legends in their own game. God I’ll never forget the impact they have had on me. I’ve played their songs when I was overjoyed, heartbroken, anxious, everything. They pulled me through some of the worst days I’ve faced.

This man's facial expressions are certainly one of the, if not THE most mastered ones I've ever come across. Throw me off reality's edge every time I press 'Play'...
His voice is soooo charming, unique, and soothing. His illustrations are amazing too, wish I knew of this band sooner... I've found myself in love with this man's voice...
"Did you ever feel your love eclipsing the Sun" No wonder they are called _Poets_ of the Fall. The lyrics they write are true examples of mastercrafted modern day poetry.
This has been growing on me. I never listen to this kind of music, but I just can't help but revisiting this. The music video is quite gorgeous, the mood and voice fits perfectly together. Not too pretentious and not too much trying-to-not-be. It's very artistically done. Well, it could just be his voice. I don't know - but that's the beauty of it.
John Doe I've listened to a few of POTF's music for many years but recently come back to them because of this song. I wasn't sure on it at first but the more I listen to it it's growing on me like crazy! Such a good bass line, drum beat and voice. Brilliant (Y)

rossy kate well, they think it’s fair and have said they respect all the companies (that have offered them deals) but they have refused their offers. They have their own record company and the control. Then they, of course, don’t have the marketing structure of a big record label behind them.
In Shadow Play they sing "So this is what you think you need to play the game, a pretty royal flush of second-hand fame". And I think that says it all, they're in it for the love of music, not for more fans. Quality over quantity
if you know something of the lore & legends of masks Marko's performance takes on a whole new meaning. masquerading is not just about hiding identity. in some cases it allows the mask wearer to become someone else - to channel other personalities. not just hidden facets of our own personality brought to the surface but archetypes too. curiously the Jester or Fool is one of these archetypes - a character at peace within a contradictory world - who uses humour to illuminate hypocrisy. often thought of as an agent of chaos as nothing is viewed in quite the same way after the jest. deep down we all know the character in this video. we might be watching Marko giving a performance but it's the Jester behind his eyes. still an incredible song & an intense & slightly creepy performance.
Nice... ...although I've actually been imagining some crazy crossover ideas...in which Cicero and a female Listener **do** fall in love... ...and their eldest daughter, taken from them against their wishes, winds up being raised in, of all places...Gotham City. Growing up to eventually become a certain infamous counterpart to Arthur Fleck... And "Daze" is the perfect song for when Luna Harley Quincy (as I've dubbed her) finally stops holding back and embraces Arthur as her one and only...while also accepting their personas as Harley Quinn and Joker; while they "let the whole world burn."
Yes!!! Now I need to see a live action tv-show around Skyrim! With Marko as Cicero of course!! And he’d burst into song randomly and everyone around him would just roll their eyes 😂

after listening to this for around 50 times straight, all I can say is I LOVE YOU GUYS. if you don't like his high pitched voice, you should run asap. that's the best part of his lovely voice. if you love POTF you love it the way it is. unconditional love
Это настолько красиво, не устаю пересматривать этот клип снова и снова. Мужской образ прекрасен бесконечно, а от фальцета мурашки по всему телу и бабочки). Я просто плыву от этого клипа, странно что он не попадался мне раньше.
Here's how I picture the pitch for POTF vids. Anyone: "Marko, I have an idea for a video that goes great with the lyrics of said song!" Marko: "Can I wear make up?"
My god how do you deliver such an amazing vocal performance while also doing such heavy lifting in acting with those facial expressions and how the character moves. Im speechless.
There's something different about this song when it comes to the band's performance. Their harmony is fascinating. It makes me feel that they're all floating together. I don't know how to describe it but every time I listen to it I focus on one of them and it simply amazes me how that specific member is owning the song. I love you Poets of the fall and I hope you come back to Dublin soon ❤
Such an addictive track. The song's great, the lyrics are well written, and the visuals of the music video are just spot on. It's not just a song, it's an experience.
This is just phenomenal - this is what music was like in the 80s when it was new. This is about music, psychology, and imaginative video craftsmanship. This popped in my recommendations a couple of days ago and I’m back to it tonight because the music and imagery stuck with me. The harlequin makeup is by far the star of this video, with everything happening around him supporting his image & costume. It’s a pretty mind-blowingly unselfconscious thing to do in these times. It’s liberating to say the least. Reminds me of Cindy Sherman’s photography. Gives me lots of ideas…
Dark Jesters always intrigue me. The imagery in this video fuels the intrigue the music ties me to the performance. The expression of the harlequin is so interesting.
I'm addicted to his voice. I can't stop listening to his song. His voice comes from heaven. I don't know how to describe my feelings. He is magical. His songs and music videos are pure ART.
Saw them twice last month in Birmingham and Glasgow, UK. Also met them in Glasgow! I love them even more! Been a fan for about 12 years and finally seeing them live this year, and meeting them was an absolute dream!
That self-fulfilling feeling that you get when wanting to express your immense love for a song in the comment section... and realize everyone did a great job at that already... I find myself in most reactions, this song is truly one of a kind, I bless the moment I discovered it. Thank you for existing, Poets!
IMAGINATION That's the word that best defines Poets of the Fall. Creativity and passion. They are unique, they are magical. Fantasy crackles with every musical note. They are not just musicians. They make art and poetry. And Marko, your wonderful voice, your fucking body, your amazing talent… you're the essence of each verse. For me Poets of the Fall is the best ღ
I usually don't listen to music videos all that much because I rather use my imagination to tell what the song is about, but its almost as if Poets of the Fall give a big "Fuck you" to my imagination and come up with something better than I could ever dream of
I’ve never been so obsessed with anything else in my life - I can’t get enough of this video! The song and the vocals are simply amazing already anyway, but Marko as this dark jester brings it all to life! His performance is beyond incredible, I’m completely captivated by every movement and facial expression… and his eyes! ❤ (I feel like I’ve fallen in love with a fictional character!!) This is an absolute masterpiece. I wish I’d discovered Poets years ago… so now I’m making up for lost time.
@@akirakolappalainen3618 haha! This is all your fault, showing me PotF stuff… since I discovered this video there is no turning back. I’m now full-on obsessed (and enjoying it 🥰)
@@Tuoppios1 I’ve almost started singing it out loud whilst walking around work or in the street a few times haha! It stays in your head, doesn’t it? It’s definitely a fun song to sing along to 🥰
I love how artistically well this video is done to support the song itself. It is rare to see videos like this these days, especially in this theme but I am glad to see that there still are artists out there that have a great appreciation for artistic vision and not just what might sell commercially.
Liliputian07 Mate, can I call you mate? I have, and when you look at most music videos then they have a very basic format and symbols that are used in almost all of them. There isn't a whole lot of new or interesting. Even some of the less popular genres tend to have some formalized themes and styles of execution and its like I am watching the same video over and over again in a lot of videos. It is not usual to see something that is a bit out from the box. Also I have actually played instruments for 15-years now, so music is like a second lifestyle for me. So avoid those assumptions because in all probability you will be inaccurate in your assumptions assessments.
Rikeilan I agree, there are some and they really do stand out from the mass crowd much to their own benefit. And before someone else jumps in, no this isn't some thing about being different or edgy, it is about making something distinct and memorable from the mass.
Seen them live 5 times now - I can assure you they are absolutely spectacular live! Talked to Marko a few times also - he is a very friendly and thoughtful guy.
The whole album is just brilliant! I really liked Daze already and the rest of the tracks are awesome, too! Thank you, Poets, thank you for your artistry and the care and love you put into each and all of your songs!
Man, his music is not "Pop", he is a "Rock" singer. Hence there is no need of having more popularity than punks like Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, and Taylor Swift!
Jamal T I know he's a rock vocalist, thats why I said he's better than the pop artists, but doesnt get that popularity. Well, I could argue with the term "popularity" but definitely there is a need to be recognized more right ?
You're right, he is not as famous as those pop spitters but certainly he is much more popular irrespective of the low recognition gained compared to them!
Poets Of The Fall may not be as popular as Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber, but the people who listen to generic Pop are of the lowest intellect. To play them a song like Carnival Of Rust, Dying To Live, or Daze would like taking the contents of the Louvre transfer it to a prison for the criminally insane.
Visually epic. Everything they do is Gold! Poets are a true gem to a dull music world! Those who have the eyes and ears were met to hear and feel their music!!! Thanks guys for leaving a legacy!!
Production design on this video is one of the most breathtaking ones I have ever seen on a music video. Maybe the best one. And ffs the lyrics and the story that is telling is just superb.
I was literally just introduced to this band today and already I couldn't be more into them.. It's love at first listen for nearly every new song I hear by them. They are quickly becoming a new favorite of mine. I must share them with the world.
A.Because it's a damn good song. B.Because the jester is a perfect persona for his falsetto. C.Because of that wicked smile at 3.50. D.All the above meshed with some, Tail Feather Shaking, Fire, Sexy Car, Pretty Girl. Answer: D Hehe😉
+Anastasia Yurim Oh sorry my bad, that was implied in A. Lyrics + Instruments = Song, or at least it does in my twisted mind, but you're right, you're right, a song can be both without the other. Hehe Have Fun-N-Enjoy!
I think I just found my latest musical obsession! I love the eighties vibe I get from this. I love the darkness and the visuals! Those looks he gives are incredible!
I love the Venetian Carnival theme, the masks, Marko's make-up, Marko's wig, the girl and her make-up, the guys partying with the girls and ignoring Marko, the Ferrari, Marko turning over the burning wine glass and setting the place afire, and as always marko singing. What can I say I love this video. ♥♥♥♥
Gawd i cant get enough of this song i play it almost every day.marko looks fabulous as the evil jester. My favourite song of theirs.his voice is just ...wow.
TH-cam shouldn't always have those ads over imposed at the end of each video. Anything older than 2021 wasn't made with that stuff in mind, and it often ends up hiding beautiful final images. Love this video! There's a lot of stuff going on, some good production values, but still the emphasis is on an amazing performer - both his voice and his character. I loved it!
Reminds me of Van Helsing at the ball dance from the movie. (I’m revisiting this great song after years. I remember finding this video early in the morning like 2:00 or 3:00am when I was tired. Good times.)
This is the second song I hear for this band after requiem of my harlequin, and I'm already in love.The music and clips are great and It's easy to taste something special.
I Love this band, Marko is a brilliant artist and can seem to get into any character with ease as well as different music styles and vocal ranges that are a breath of fresh air. True art in every sense of the word.
The Jokers got nothing on this guy, the vibe instead of mad genius, you have a madness of music. It's the look in the eyes when they do a close up of his face. His expressions portray an evil court jester perfectly.
So glad I went to the Poets` concert in Rostov-on-Don in 2013. And though the world has divided, love and music will never have boundaries. We`re waiting for you, guys!
Eh, I like it but it doesn't really tell a story. Look at videos like Jeremy by Pearl Jam or Losing My Religion by R.E.M. Those are some great videos from an artistic standpoint.
Mi Ow Oh, it tells a story, only thing is it's not a straight forward one. You need to think a bit about it and pay attention to the video... It's open to different interpretations and that makes it even more interesting, just like some of their other videos, songs and lyrics. I love this about PotF, they are not an easy band in any way, which is something to be thanked for.
All day I listen to that song. Read comments. And I have my own version of the meaning of this clip. In short, the essence of the song about how a person tries to start a new life, to start again, stop overspending, to burn their lives, and so on. The Joker is a dark, celebrate the essence of man, his temptations, passion for entertainment. Most of the songs a person experiences a break-up, it's hard to break the habit. Joker indulges in every possible way. Bring It On! Burn this world! - He shouts, strongly provokes. Man tries to deceive themselves and deceive the Joker. Burning his past life, thinking that now everything has changed, everything will be different. When playing bridge song, the girl has clearly decided to break with the past. But as the end of the clip shows the essence itself can not be destroyed, the Joker can not be burned, and he was waiting for a chance to come back!
Though his high pitch is annoying for some people but come on guys I think this is the only guy who experiments with his music and his voice! None of his songs sounds the same. He has got a god gifted voice.
The video was absoltuely perfect. The song is already growing on me, and I can't wait for the new album! I'm trying not to make a Joker reference, but with all the jester symbolism and the "let the whole world burn" line, it's not easy, haha. Amazing job! Welcome back, Poets of the Fall!
@Mista FiOth My friend introduced me to them, and I never regret listening to any of their songs or watching their videos. They got some recognizion from Max Payne 2 i think. It may have been the first one.
Same here! I liked Late Goodbye when I first heard it in Max Payne 2, but it was when I heard War from Alan Wake that I ended up exploring and loving the band's music. Dreaming Wide Awake is my new favorite from them!
It's almost 2 different personalities when he falsettos. The acting/facial movement and character makeup is mesmerizing. Literal pure talent. There's something so hypnotizing about this performance. There's a charm. I wish this could be a character for a movie and he played it.

Certainly looks like it would be an interesting character
@@starrlynn2523 he looks like an anime villain
Absolutely nailed it. I swear I've watched this a million times
I know it's been years since this comment was posted, but I'm going to try my hand at using this look as inspiration for drawing a cyberpunk style benevolent mob boss character.

My best friend/rp partner and I are having so much fun with this.
Marko's facial expressions throughout the whole video is awesome
Nightmare fuel...
The makeup helps. Jester makeup has a habit of making one far more expressive than they already are.
I still find it really hard to believe that's actually Marko in that make up
Indeed, makeup brings up "the lines" of the face, the lines becoming more visible their changes also become more visible enhancing the impression of expressiveness, I think.
Also, looking at every other clip, he's just as expressive
ikr :D
Це шикарно! Мимоволі починаєшь рухатися в такт музиці. Обожнюю❤
Can I just say what a phenomenal job the costume/makeup artists did in this video? Marko looks like a completely different person in this video.
The makeup on his left eye compliments the makeup on his lips. Without either of it he would look scary or maybe horrible. That's what the makeup artists should be appreciated for.
its like a freaking video game
@@ajmalabidinnur2173 He voiced Vladimir Lem in Max Payne 2 !
@@ajitsen6927 I guess that game contributed significantly to their popularity. A lot of people know them because of Max Payne 2.
@@santoshmitra3934 and also because he sang the song late goodbye
I'm kinda addicted to his voice right now. The higher falsetto parts are so appealing and the lower singing voice pure gold. Strangely attractive!
I think what makes his higher falsetto parts work so well is that fact that he is a jester. It matches so well.
are you kidding?! That's how exactly 'I' feel!
Hey calm it down >.>.... Jk xD
I know right!! I've been on a POTF binge since I found them some time ago
What helps is that he’s just got a strong voice
I am seriously addicted to this video! Marko's expressions are quite simply mesmerizing.
The song and music are fabulous.
Poet's of the Fall are absolute musical genius, I cannot get enough of them.
oui c'est exact, il me fait penser à Rammstein, il a quelque chose de commun avec 🙂
I have to admit that when Marko plays it over-the-top he isn't 'just' over-the-top, he's brilliantly over-the-top.
*****
I WAS referring to his acting.
I love all of Marko's little 'personas' that he puts in the videos but the costume/make-up in this one is just incredible. POTF = art.
Can't believe it's been 8 years already. Love the song and the visuals.

"Daze"
Rolling down the free way, master to the speed of light,
Screaming up in the air, bursting through the night
No rest, I've stayed here too long, It's time to move on
Reality's a three way, a scenery defined
By tomorrow dubbed a mystery and the past just blurry lines
If there's ever been injustice in my name, I bow unto blame
And you can give me everything I need this way
We'll be loving till the first light of the day
Set the world on fire with bitter sweet desire
To chase away the night, let the whole world burn
Set the world on fire for bliss in sweet denial, oblivion and peace
Will you let me burn?
Drifting like a cast off, the shadows got it good
With constant companions, would that I could
Further afield my nemesis on stilts is gaining on me
So I crawl across the state line, to another state of being
Holding on for dear life to the better days I've seen
Long for the comfort of your loving arms, your passions, your charms
And you can give me everything I need this way
We'll be loving till the first light of the day
Set the world on fire with bitter sweet desire
To chase away the night, let the whole world burn
Set the world on fire for bliss in sweet denial, oblivion and peace
Will you let me burn?
Did you ever feel your love eclipsing the sun
I give you the reason I'm still on the run
Disappear in the heavy glare of neon
And you can give me everything I need this way
We'll be loving till the first light of the day
Set the world on fire with bitter sweet desire
To chase away the night, let the whole world burn
Set the world on fire for bliss in sweet denial, oblivion and peace
Will you let me burn!

I think, rather than "with constant companions" the line is "we can't stand companions" but I could be wrong. It's what I heard and seems to make more sense with the following line.

The piano in this song is legit god tier. It all just comes together so beautifully. Lyrics, instruments, sound just everything. Amazing
The band is a whole.
This man's facial expressions are certainly one of the, if not THE most mastered ones I've ever come across. Throw me off reality's edge every time I press 'Play'...
His voice is soooo charming, unique, and soothing. His illustrations are amazing too, wish I knew of this band sooner... I've found myself in love with this man's voice...
Same here
Me too
Same thing is happening to me right now.
"Did you ever feel your love eclipsing the Sun"
No wonder they are called _Poets_ of the Fall. The lyrics they write are true examples of mastercrafted modern day poetry.
can not be said better
This has been growing on me. I never listen to this kind of music, but I just can't help but revisiting this. The music video is quite gorgeous, the mood and voice fits perfectly together. Not too pretentious and not too much trying-to-not-be. It's very artistically done. Well, it could just be his voice. I don't know - but that's the beauty of it.
John Doe been listening to these guys since Alan Wake and Max Payne. They're pretty cool. They are huge in Finland I guess.....more indie here.
John Doe I've listened to a few of POTF's music for many years but recently come back to them because of this song. I wasn't sure on it at first but the more I listen to it it's growing on me like crazy! Such a good bass line, drum beat and voice. Brilliant (Y)
+anton823 Not huge. What is huge here is those wanna be rappers who copy Eminem and such. Finland ain't rocking anymore.
"Daze"
Lyrics
Rolling down the free way, master to the speed of light,
Screaming up in the air, bursting through the night
No rest, I've stayed here too long, It's time to move on
Reality's a three way, a scenery defined
By tomorrow dubbed a mystery and the past just blurry lines
If there's ever been injustice in my name, I bow unto blame
And you can give me everything I need this way
We'll be loving till the first light of the day
Set the world on fire with bitter sweet desire
To chase away the night, let the whole world burn
Set the world on fire for bliss in sweet denial, oblivion and peace
Will you let me burn?
Drifting like a cast off, the shadows got it good
With constant companions, would that I could
Further afield my nemesis on stilts is gaining on me
So I crawl across the state line, to another state of being
Holding on for dear life to the better days I've seen
Long for the comfort of your loving arms, your passions, your charms
And you can give me everything I need this way
We'll be loving till the first light of the day
Set the world on fire with bitter sweet desire
To chase away the night, let the whole world burn
Set the world on fire for bliss in sweet denial, oblivion and peace
Will you let me burn?
Did you ever feel your love eclipsing the sun
I give you the reason I'm still on the run
Disappear in the heavy glare of neon
And you can give me everything I need this way
We'll be loving till the first light of the day
Set the world on fire with bitter sweet desire
To chase away the night, let the whole world burn
Set the world on fire for bliss in sweet denial, oblivion and peace
Will you let me burn!
"did you ever feel your love eclipsing the sun" best way to describe an unbelievable love
I know right?! It gives me chills every time
"I give u the reason I'm still on the run"... 😢

This trailer was brilliant, now Im waiting for the film to release.

LOL! Good 1. Yea, I’m with you on that. This would be an awesome Tim Burton film. He’s my favorite movie director.

this damned smile
he is not acting
it's himself
his own emotions

I love this comment. It's so true
It's true!

@@miljanabotunjac1574 I would like that too 😁
It is not FAIR! A masterpiece like this shouldn't be underrated!
rossy kate well, they think it’s fair and have said they respect all the companies (that have offered them deals) but they have refused their offers. They have their own record company and the control. Then they, of course, don’t have the marketing structure of a big record label behind them.
In Shadow Play they sing "So this is what you think you need to play the game, a pretty royal flush of second-hand fame". And I think that says it all, they're in it for the love of music, not for more fans. Quality over quantity
Wow I really appreciate the way u guyz explain it.. yeah I mean It's more fascinating when it's " for the love of music"
Don't feel bad....it's their choice....they love wat they do...not the perks
They are not signed with a major record company. That is why they are not known.
if you know something of the lore & legends of masks Marko's performance takes on a whole new meaning. masquerading is not just about hiding identity. in some cases it allows the mask wearer to become someone else - to channel other personalities. not just hidden facets of our own personality brought to the surface but archetypes too. curiously the Jester or Fool is one of these archetypes - a character at peace within a contradictory world - who uses humour to illuminate hypocrisy. often thought of as an agent of chaos as nothing is viewed in quite the same way after the jest. deep down we all know the character in this video. we might be watching Marko giving a performance but it's the Jester behind his eyes. still an incredible song & an intense & slightly creepy performance.
Deep enlightening comment. Beavis avatar.😐
Seriously though, wonderful comment.
very Informative and interesting.
Wow.. Thanks
Thank you for this.
I love this comment. UwU
I love his expression as he swats the glass off the table, it always gets a chuckle out of me
This comment is still true
Why do I get the feeling that Marko would make an awesome Cicero? He's got the faces, and the acting.
YES, FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT
Nice...
...although I've actually been imagining some crazy crossover ideas...in which Cicero and a female Listener **do** fall in love...
...and their eldest daughter, taken from them against their wishes, winds up being raised in, of all places...Gotham City. Growing up to eventually become a certain infamous counterpart to Arthur Fleck...
And "Daze" is the perfect song for when Luna Harley Quincy (as I've dubbed her) finally stops holding back and embraces Arthur as her one and only...while also accepting their personas as Harley Quinn and Joker; while they "let the whole world burn."
Yes!!! Now I need to see a live action tv-show around Skyrim! With Marko as Cicero of course!! And he’d burst into song randomly and everyone around him would just roll their eyes 😂

after listening to this for around 50 times straight, all I can say is I LOVE YOU GUYS.
if you don't like his high pitched voice, you should run asap. that's the best part of his lovely voice.
if you love POTF you love it the way it is. unconditional love
Это настолько красиво, не устаю пересматривать этот клип снова и снова. Мужской образ прекрасен бесконечно, а от фальцета мурашки по всему телу и бабочки). Я просто плыву от этого клипа, странно что он не попадался мне раньше.
странно что о них вообще мало кто знает. я год назад случайно услышал и подсел. шикарная группа
@@ЧингизБартиев я о них узнал из alan wake, так и подсел
I totally agree. Strange that this band and not least Marco is not already superstars.. since they deserve it for sure
The more I watch it, the more I see the brilliance and genius.
God cant get enough of this song
Replaying it endlessly
yeah right?
it doesn't get boring
How do you know God can't get enough of it?
played it about 200 times I recon!
shadowstorm545 This song is so epic...
ditto
This song makes me feel so good,it's like it raises my vibration to another level.
Im surprised he hasnt been in movies...this guy is an absolute genius of expression. His acting, even if in a music video, is absolutely amazing.
Marko is a great actor. Tim Burton has to offer him a role in the film.
Remember Carnival of Rust? Gosh, his performance was disturbingly good in that video.
There's a Tim Burton film similar to this... or rather this video being so.liar to the film? Which film?
I mean any new movie
krystina butko I agree! He always sells every role he plays in these videos.
Here's how I picture the pitch for POTF vids.
Anyone: "Marko, I have an idea for a video that goes great with the lyrics of said song!"
Marko: "Can I wear make up?"
his falsetto is exquisite ... glorious song and performances. Thank you, Poets.
Producer: So how many times would you like to say the title?
Marko: No
Lol
Jacob Votava, right? I don’t understand why they named it Daze.
@@lianasoares8052 Go check out tool they do the same thing. It's probably about the song's meaning.

My god how do you deliver such an amazing vocal performance while also doing such heavy lifting in acting with those facial expressions and how the character moves. Im speechless.
Its 2019, and I still swooning over this classically beautiful masterpiece.
So am I. I love it so much. I want to be part of that party
2022 here
🥰
Good music never dies.
There's something different about this song when it comes to the band's performance. Their harmony is fascinating. It makes me feel that they're all floating together. I don't know how to describe it but every time I listen to it I focus on one of them and it simply amazes me how that specific member is owning the song. I love you Poets of the fall and I hope you come back to Dublin soon ❤
Such an addictive track. The song's great, the lyrics are well written, and the visuals of the music video are just spot on. It's not just a song, it's an experience.
Those vocals, that range, my God I'm in love.
This is just phenomenal - this is what music was like in the 80s when it was new. This is about music, psychology, and imaginative video craftsmanship. This popped in my recommendations a couple of days ago and I’m back to it tonight because the music and imagery stuck with me. The harlequin makeup is by far the star of this video, with everything happening around him supporting his image & costume. It’s a pretty mind-blowingly unselfconscious thing to do in these times. It’s liberating to say the least. Reminds me of Cindy Sherman’s photography. Gives me lots of ideas…
Kudos to my son for introducing me to this band....I LOVE THEM. It's a shame it has taken me so long to 'discover' them (I am almost 60 years old).
Listening this song 5 time in a day
Me too 🤣🤣🤣
Classically trained bass/baritone, but his range is IMMENSE. Also, Marko has pretty much the best sounding falsetto I've heard.
Dark Jesters always intrigue me.
The imagery in this video fuels the intrigue the music ties me to the performance.
The expression of the harlequin is so interesting.
I'm addicted to his voice. I can't stop listening to his song. His voice comes from heaven. I don't know how to describe my feelings. He is magical. His songs and music videos are pure ART.
Saw them twice last month in Birmingham and Glasgow, UK. Also met them in Glasgow! I love them even more! Been a fan for about 12 years and finally seeing them live this year, and meeting them was an absolute dream!
That self-fulfilling feeling that you get when wanting to express your immense love for a song in the comment section... and realize everyone did a great job at that already... I find myself in most reactions, this song is truly one of a kind, I bless the moment I discovered it. Thank you for existing, Poets!
His expressions through the video are out of this world and those notes he hits are mind boggling
Amazing how the makeup totally changes his appearance and character. Awesome song and video!!!
IMAGINATION That's the word that best defines Poets of the Fall.
Creativity and passion. They are unique, they are magical.
Fantasy crackles with every musical note.
They are not just musicians.
They make art and poetry.
And Marko, your wonderful voice, your fucking body, your amazing talent… you're the essence of each verse. For me Poets of the Fall is the best ღ
these guys are rapidly becoming my new favorite band
Yup, i cant express how much Iove this band.
Can't hardly listen to anything else right now.
I'm thinking same....
Thanks to control I found these guys. they're awesome
he is very handsome in this make up. i cant listen to this song without watching to this clip :D and he played his role very well.
he always does
I usually don't listen to music videos all that much because I rather use my imagination to tell what the song is about, but its almost as if Poets of the Fall give a big "Fuck you" to my imagination and come up with something better than I could ever dream of
Rishi Thakur
+CodeXIX Couldn't have said better even if I tried. God.
Why are they so perfect?! And why does youtube still not have a loop button? I love this song. Such a fantastic band! Love you, Poets!
You can use e.g. www.youtuberepeater.com for repeating. Cor Cordis.
Thank you
Actually, right click on the video for loop.
I’ve never been so obsessed with anything else in my life - I can’t get enough of this video! The song and the vocals are simply amazing already anyway, but Marko as this dark jester brings it all to life! His performance is beyond incredible, I’m completely captivated by every movement and facial expression… and his eyes! ❤ (I feel like I’ve fallen in love with a fictional character!!) This is an absolute masterpiece. I wish I’d discovered Poets years ago… so now I’m making up for lost time.
Welcome to the family. Have another like. 😉😘
@@akirakolappalainen3618 haha! This is all your fault, showing me PotF stuff… since I discovered this video there is no turning back. I’m now full-on obsessed (and enjoying it 🥰)
Ikr, I have been humming to myself "set the world on fire - bittersweet desire" for quite a while now lol
@@Tuoppios1 I’ve almost started singing it out loud whilst walking around work or in the street a few times haha! It stays in your head, doesn’t it? It’s definitely a fun song to sing along to 🥰
Hahaha, I feel exactly the same 😂😂😂...."Falling in love with a fictional character "❤😊
The fact that this song was made way past their prime just shows how awesome Poets of the Fall are.
I love how artistically well this video is done to support the song itself. It is rare to see videos like this these days, especially in this theme but I am glad to see that there still are artists out there that have a great appreciation for artistic vision and not just what might sell commercially.
+Jenkkimie
Then you don't watch a lot of music videos mate
+Jenkkimie Although they are hard to find people/bands like POTF do exist. It's sad they are not as well known as songs with no meaning
Liliputian07 Mate, can I call you mate? I have, and when you look at most music videos then they have a very basic format and symbols that are used in almost all of them. There isn't a whole lot of new or interesting.
Even some of the less popular genres tend to have some formalized themes and styles of execution and its like I am watching the same video over and over again in a lot of videos. It is not usual to see something that is a bit out from the box.
Also I have actually played instruments for 15-years now, so music is like a second lifestyle for me. So avoid those assumptions because in all probability you will be inaccurate in your assumptions assessments.
Rikeilan I agree, there are some and they really do stand out from the mass crowd much to their own benefit. And before someone else jumps in, no this isn't some thing about being different or edgy, it is about making something distinct and memorable from the mass.
Jenkkimie And also making something you enjoy without listening to people who want to make you... "commercial"
Such an underrated band, love them.
Seen them live 5 times now - I can assure you they are absolutely spectacular live! Talked to Marko a few times also - he is a very friendly and thoughtful guy.
Watching the band perform this live was ABSOLUTE ECSTASY!!!!
Lucky you!!! :)
oooh super jealous.
Doubt not! I will ;) Tnx
Agreed, was epic :D
I wish I was as lucky as you were
Between his voice and fantastic looks, this man has me so captivated!!!
The whole album is just brilliant! I really liked Daze already and the rest of the tracks are awesome, too! Thank you, Poets, thank you for your artistry and the care and love you put into each and all of your songs!
Its so rare that not only there is a song that i cant stop listening to but it has a video that i cant stop watching
Nick Williams same .i watch this video again and again
Poets of the Fall, they are true to their words. Such wonderful artists they are. Love them!
Marko is pretty much boss-level to almost all the "pop" singers out there now, about quarter as popular.
Man, his music is not "Pop", he is a "Rock" singer. Hence there is no need of having more popularity than punks like Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, and Taylor Swift!
Jamal T I know he's a rock vocalist, thats why I said he's better than the pop artists, but doesnt get that popularity.
Well, I could argue with the term "popularity" but definitely there is a need to be recognized more right ?
You're right, he is not as famous as those pop spitters but certainly he is much more popular irrespective of the low recognition gained compared to them!
Poets Of The Fall may not be as popular as Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber, but the people who listen to generic Pop are of the lowest intellect. To play them a song like Carnival Of Rust, Dying To Live, or Daze would like taking the contents of the Louvre transfer it to a prison for the criminally insane.
+Joshua so true
Visually epic. Everything they do is Gold! Poets are a true gem to a dull music world! Those who have the eyes and ears were met to hear and feel their music!!! Thanks guys for leaving a legacy!!
Production design on this video is one of the most breathtaking ones I have ever seen on a music video. Maybe the best one. And ffs the lyrics and the story that is telling is just superb.
I was literally just introduced to this band today and already I couldn't be more into them.. It's love at first listen for nearly every new song I hear by them. They are quickly becoming a new favorite of mine. I must share them with the world.
Why am I rewatching, rewatching and still rewatching the video again, again and again, though it's deep midnight?!)
+Anastasia Yurim Because POTF
Yep)
A.Because it's a damn good song.
B.Because the jester is a perfect persona for his falsetto.
C.Because of that wicked smile at 3.50.
D.All the above meshed with some, Tail Feather Shaking, Fire, Sexy Car, Pretty Girl.
Answer: D
Hehe😉
Alesha Coats plus E. The lyrics
:)
+Anastasia Yurim Oh sorry my bad, that was implied in A. Lyrics + Instruments = Song, or at least it does in my twisted mind, but you're right, you're right, a song can be both without the other. Hehe Have Fun-N-Enjoy!
I think I just found my latest musical obsession! I love the eighties vibe I get from this. I love the darkness and the visuals! Those looks he gives are incredible!
I love the Venetian Carnival theme, the masks, Marko's make-up, Marko's wig, the girl and her make-up, the guys partying with the girls and ignoring Marko, the Ferrari, Marko turning over the burning wine glass and setting the place afire, and as always marko singing. What can I say I love this video. ♥♥♥♥
Someone mentioned Loki and I believe I now get what the fire represents. :P Hehehehe! Oh, these Finnish boys. I love their minds. \O/
One of the best choruses I've heard in my life
Just wonderful
a chier
I can't express how much I do love Poets of fall and Marko....They are the most underrated in the history of music
I seriously can't stop listening to this song! I could listen to it all day
I know what you mean! ;))
Yes... Can't stop listening to it as well. It's wonderful!
Yeah, there's definitely something quite addictive in it!
I'm too.
me toooooooo
Gawd i cant get enough of this song i play it almost every day.marko looks fabulous as the evil jester. My favourite song of theirs.his voice is just ...wow.
I found "Carnival of Rust" about a year ago and didn't really listen to other music by this band but I definitely should've!
Oh, you totally should!!! They are awesome, I recomend you "War", "My Dark Disquiet", y "Partir Avec Moi".
@@rossanaguillen1230 this band reminds me lost gender of scott stapp and alter bridge.
Every album is an "all tracks" listen. Love PotF.
If ur really rock and metal fan then ur name is lie or just impossible
TH-cam shouldn't always have those ads over imposed at the end of each video. Anything older than 2021 wasn't made with that stuff in mind, and it often ends up hiding beautiful final images.
Love this video! There's a lot of stuff going on, some good production values, but still the emphasis is on an amazing performer - both his voice and his character. I loved it!
Poets of the fall....are undoubtedly one of the best Bands out there. I wish more people get to know about them.
Reminds me of Van Helsing at the ball dance from the movie. (I’m revisiting this great song after years. I remember finding this video early in the morning like 2:00 or 3:00am when I was tired. Good times.)
This is the second song I hear for this band after requiem of my harlequin, and I'm already in love.The music and clips are great and It's easy to taste something special.
Welcome.
Given and denied is my favourite
Not forgetting cradel in love and carnival of rust
@@faithless1395 Carnival of rust is very good. Didn't hear cradle in love, thanks for mentioning it , I'll check it out.
I'm only sorry that I've found you guys a couple of years ago, you're awesome! Highly underrrated!!!!!
I Love this band, Marko is a brilliant artist and can seem to get into any character with ease as well as different music styles and vocal ranges that are a breath of fresh air. True art in every sense of the word.
i love this voice, the melody the band creats
That make-up artist though, is on point. Apart from the song (which is divine), Marko's and woman's makeup is on fire!
Marko's expressions and the make-up in this song. 🖤
The Jokers got nothing on this guy, the vibe instead of mad genius, you have a madness of music. It's the look in the eyes when they do a close up of his face. His expressions portray an evil court jester perfectly.
The falsetto and sinister jester look is so hot! It's captivating! He plays into the role really well.
So glad I went to the Poets` concert in Rostov-on-Don in 2013. And though the world has divided, love and music will never have boundaries. We`re waiting for you, guys!
This has to be one of the best ever music videos made - say what you want about the song, I think this needs to be acknowledged.
Eh, I like it but it doesn't really tell a story. Look at videos like Jeremy by Pearl Jam or Losing My Religion by R.E.M. Those are some great videos from an artistic standpoint.
Mi Ow
Of course it tells a story!
Cor Cordis ^
Mi Ow
Oh, it tells a story, only thing is it's not a straight forward one. You need to think a bit about it and pay attention to the video... It's open to different interpretations and that makes it even more interesting, just like some of their other videos, songs and lyrics. I love this about PotF, they are not an easy band in any way, which is something to be thanked for.
All day I listen to that song. Read comments. And I have my own version of the meaning of this clip.
In short, the essence of the song about how a person tries to start a new life, to start again, stop overspending, to burn their lives, and so on.
The Joker is a dark, celebrate the essence of man, his temptations, passion for entertainment.
Most of the songs a person experiences a break-up, it's hard to break the habit. Joker indulges in every possible way. Bring It On! Burn this world! - He shouts, strongly provokes.
Man tries to deceive themselves and deceive the Joker. Burning his past life, thinking that now everything has changed, everything will be different. When playing bridge song, the girl has clearly decided to break with the past. But as the end of the clip shows the essence itself can not be destroyed, the Joker can not be burned, and he was waiting for a chance to come back!
Though his high pitch is annoying for some people but come on guys I think this is the only guy who experiments with his music and his voice! None of his songs sounds the same. He has got a god gifted voice.
the piano notes here is so satisfyingly soothing.
The video was absoltuely perfect. The song is already growing on me, and I can't wait for the new album!
I'm trying not to make a Joker reference, but with all the jester symbolism and the "let the whole world burn" line, it's not easy, haha. Amazing job!
Welcome back, Poets of the Fall!
To think that if it wasn't for Alan Wake I'd never have been introduced to PoTF. Man, what a Masterpiece that was... the band is also sublime.
@Mista FiOth My friend introduced me to them, and I never regret listening to any of their songs or watching their videos. They got some recognizion from Max Payne 2 i think. It may have been the first one.
Same here!
It was Control for me. So glad I found them.
Same! Had I not played Alan Wake, I'd have never known about them! So glad I found them!
Same here! I liked Late Goodbye when I first heard it in Max Payne 2, but it was when I heard War from Alan Wake that I ended up exploring and loving the band's music. Dreaming Wide Awake is my new favorite from them!
Introspection aside, I will say that Marko can chose any look and pull it off better than anyone else
I watch these guys for the music but a BIG part of it is their body movements, hand gestures, imagery and poetry to the visuals. Its attractive.😉
