The makeup helps. Jester makeup has a habit of making one far more expressive than they already are.

[@figloalds]

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.

[@radagastaddams3703]

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.

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.

Я весь день слушаю эту песню. Читаю комментарии. И у меня есть своя версия смысла этого клипа. Если коротко, то суть песни о том, как человек пытается начать новую жизнь, начать все заново, бросить сорить деньгами, прожигать свою жизнь и т. д. (слово ПРОЖИГАТЬ ключевое). Джокер это темная, праздная сущность человека, его соблазны, страсть к развлечению. Большую часть песни человек испытывает ломку, тяжело отказаться от привычки. Джокер всячески этому потакает. Давай! Сожги этот мир! - кричит он, всячески провоцирует. Человек пытается обмануть себя, обмануть Джокера. Сжигая свою прошлую жизнь, думая, что сейчас все поменяется, все начнется по-другому. Когда играет бридж песни, девка уже четко приняла решение покончить с прошлым. Но как показывает конец клипа, сущность себя невозможно уничтожить, Джокера невозможно сжечь, и он ждет шанса вернуться!

[@noneyabusiness4451]

I recently just discovered this band, from their song Carnival of Rust. That being said, it caught me off-guard that this sounds so much different from Carnival of Rust. Such a great band, literally everything I hear is just so good. If that's not good enough, the music videos are all cinema quality. In a day an age where people just slap auto-tune over everything and yell gibberish over a beat to find success, I'm glad there are still band out there that challenge the way you think, that make you want to listen to literally every word and to make their music videos into short stories. I honestly go back to '09 and wonder why in the hell I have never heard of this band.

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.

[@2010Viktors]

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!

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…

[@gabiruman]

Ok so my thoughts on this video: Contrarily to what most peoeple complain, I love Marko's falsettos, they were perfect in Cradled in Love and they are now in Daze, I guess Marko's vocals never let me down he has one of the most perfect voices I have ever heard. Regarding the video, seems close to some they have made before in terms of cinematics, the meaning seems to be a criticism on greed and luxury in my opinion. My only "complaint" is the instrumental part... I expect way more from Olli or Jaska, the guitars spend the whole song playing chords and octaves like the intro of Fire, my thought is that they can do better than that. I bet people will say "Oh here is another picky guitar player who only wants to hear solos and shit", no I like to hear balance, for me the instrumental part could be much more interesting, if they "showed off" a little more, I mean take the example of Running out of Time, Given and Denied... I don't ask for solos I just ask for a little more variation, regarding solos there songs which ask for it some others don't, Revolution Roullete is one of the songs that clearly asks for a great astonishing solo, yet all it gets is an interlude... In the end I'm looking forward for the whole album, I'll definitly buy it.

[@luculencia8480]

Oh... I see what you mean about the guitars but I actually really like the melody that sounds like its been played on piano / keyboard (well I play piano myself so I love to hear it too...).

[@gabiruman]

Yes I do like the melody from the piano, it's something I think that could be introduced more often into POTF songs, still I think the guitars could use a bit more work/variation.

[@Auctorion]

Agree with everything, although the guitar thing didn't bother me much because the focus of the song is on the piano and the vocals and they're brilliantly blended. In a way I think the greater focus on the piano over the guitars nicely evokes the theme of the song you propose, as it moves the song away from a mainstream filled with guitars as the primary melodic instrument.

[@gabiruman]

James Betts Yes I find the keyboard actually quite clever, some bands I hear usually do it, and it's awesome don't get me wrong howeverthe guitar player in me still wants to ear some more clever variations, interludes, etc... forgive me for being too demanding xD Still, as I said I love the song and I'm looking forward for the entire masterpiece I'm sure it'll be (yes I've heard the samples :p)

[@luculencia8480]

Gabriel Sá Pinto I do know what you mean, the guitars didn't really get a look in on this tune, but I don't mind that since there are so many with breathtaking guitar solos already - one or two songs without the guitars doesn't hurt... just as long as they're not gone for good xD

Я даже не думал, что человек в лайве может петь так же качественно, как и на записи. Талант + усердная работа над собой = вот такой вот вокал. Да и остальные инструменты не отстают, довольно сложные гитарные партии (по крайней мере не Am, Dm и Е всю песню). Я, блять, просто обязан попасть на их концерт.

[@Jenkkimie]

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.

[@Jenkkimie]

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.

Earlier today I had an intriguing thought: My Dark Disquiet could be a sequel to this song. Read its lyrics and compare them to Daze's. Then imagine My Dark Disquiet as an expansion/continuation to Daze. They sound like the same story, do they not? They both have same motives, symbols and expressions. Depending on how you interpret the lyrics, they might have the same narrator too - the Harlequin. (However, you can also see the other song being told from both the girl's and Harlequin's standpoints.) If you are not convinced yet, compare the story of this music video to My Dark Disquiet. In my opinion they have many similarities and hints that connect the two songs together. What do you think? How far fetched does this theory sound to you?
