[@jakeblack1010]

I'm still wondering what the Bearu was doing with this song. What kind of research was it involved in? I can surmise why Ahti had Take Control. It was basically Jesse's song, but what were they doing with this song?

[@BlazingOwnager]

I know this song wasn't written for Control, but it easily could be. "Can I get a ride with you in this race of two" fits too well for the Polaris situation.

[@robertalexander-bk5zj]

It really does feel like the game and song were one inspired whole cloth from the other in either direction. To beat that dead horse, perhaps an AWE brought both to the world simultaneously in a creation paradox.

I remember clicking the button for the song. Realising it was just a song and then almost leave. I double-backed to just make sure the acoustic room had nothing to collect.

I stood there after the song finished waiting to collect something or waiting for Jesse to say something but she never does… am I missing something?

Scanning through the comments, it seems a lot of people mention they found this in Control, but fail to understand why it is a OOP. Poets of the Fall does NOT exist in the Remedy universe, they are instead 2 old Viking metal rockers known as Old Gods of Asgard (as met in Alan Wake). If you check the disk in the lab, it clearly says Poets of the Fall, which implies this song is an outside universe OOP, from our reality. Jesse also has a odd habit of mentioning memories that do not match the documented universe, yet also does NOT recognise the POTF name. Old Gods of Asgard itself could also be considered another type of resonance (Also implied in Alan Wake DLC) as well as there songs contain hidden lyrics AND contain prophecies (we are now seeing come to pass in games). Also take note of the lyrics in this song to the similarity of the events of Control itself. This means POTF are also setting prophecies, just like OGoA. Insane amount of details and ground work that has been laid all the way since Alan Wake. Sure there are many more points I have forgotten.

[@slantedframes2334]

Actually poets of the fall are in the remedy universe - I haven’t played AW2 so no spoilers please - but in AW1 on one of the radios the one that plays war. The host says a song by poets of the fall a band that always reminds him of Old gods of Asgard

An incredibly powerful song! The lines "We are momentary masters, We’re false kings and bastards" in the lyrics reminded me of Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" speech: "The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot." I wonder if this was the Poet's source of inspiration...

Wow. Incredible catch. I think that you're right. When i look at the poster of Thomas Zane in Alan Wake, it reminds me of the Pale Blue Dot speech. We can see Zane in a Diving suit, but in reality those suits were designed for space and tested underwater. On the poster, we can see the phrase " a pinprick of light in an ocean of Darkness " which reminds me of the pale blue dot image. Carl Sagan is also referenced in the introduction of Night Springs.

The video, however, elicited memories of watching the first (and best) Matrix film. 2)Did you at any point feel a strong emotion? If so, what emotion? I felt, approximately all throughout the song, nostalgia for when I first discovered PotF via Old Gods of Asgard in Bright Falls. Midway through, however, I began experiencing heavy surges of adrenaline, accompanied by waves of excitement. 3)Did a clear image of a weapon appear in your mind during the song? If so, elaborate. To this one I will honestly say no, aside from the fact that, due to finding the song via the Federal Bureau of Control, the Service Weapon was front and center in my mind. 4)Provide a detailed description of your current surroundings as you see them.

so true, it's amazing

[@penyuwan]

All hail Captain.

[@dsedh23]

Nice. This song reminds me Old gods of Asgard, the great band from my hometown

[@microbark9756]

Control and Alan Wake have made me love this band since 2011.

[@DSkehan2004]

Listen to their 2nd and 3rd album.

[@giovannasantos9626]

POTF is my eternal love❤

[@ciner141]

Thank you Remedy Entertainment for introducing me to this awesome band.

[@KsxLive.]

Found this from Control (Game) studio room, I literally just sat there and listened to the thing. Beautiful! ♥

[@B_man_anton]

Same

[@SharkDeschain]

Whenever I'm in Central Research I always try to make sure to pop into the lab and take a break and listen to this song. Thank you Remedy for introducing me to this great band.

[@Charlie_the_dog]

I love how no one has commented how this specific “video” is an “instrumental” but it’s literally not lol great song btw absolutely love it

[@appwraith]

I love how the visuals are reminiscent of stuff from Control. (I spotted Hedron, the black pyramid of the Board, and the Foundations)

[@sinner506]

Guess what, this song is canon in the game, not only as a music in a lab, but was also used as a Test for Altered Items/Objects of Power. There is even a place with the lyrics written on the whiteboard and album art of "Ultraviolet" lying on a table

[@appwraith]

@@sinner506 Indeed it is, that is how I found the band. I've Shazam-ed the song in Central Research, in the sound lab with the large speakers. I've kept expecting an attack, but the song was so good I just kept listening.

[@aboxinspace]

I found out about Poets of the Fall because of Remedy's "Alan Wake" back in 2010; it's really nice seeing people going through the same thing with their new game "Control". This band is probably my favorite and also the only band that's ever made me go overseas on a VIP show! 100/10 recommend.

[@M4x__V]

I do not know about you... Control brought me here :)

[@DAVEGADGETBOY]

Same here

[@chiffmonkey]

Welcome :D Enjoy going down the rabbit hole.

[@acedianihil8208]

yep me too, music like this is usually my jam im surprised ive never heard of them before.

[@wulf2863]

This band brought me to the game

[@josephwardle1523]

Same, my guy

[@Gyhldepts]

I am so glad Control introduced me to this band. I was Very Sad while playing the game cos I (wrongly) assumed it was one of those groups made up for a game and Very Happy when I saw I was wrong.

[@sufficientframe]

I am planning to sing this song for a singing contest audition. Wish me luck!

[@skyperfect112]

Good luck ✨

[@ChaosAngel209]

I really want to believe this is the theme of Control. It goes hand in hand.

[@Ujermaikan]

There may be many dimensions but Jesse Faden stood still in the acoustics lab for 5:10 in every single one of them. 😁

[@vos7619]

Here from Control; such a good song!

[@Ostentatiousnessness]

So this just popped up on my feed and I was all: “oh cool, PotF usually do some great work, I’ll listen to this” I’m sorry for underestimating how amazing this is

[@ShizuVtuber]

I literally just heard this song in the game "Control" and it was amazing! keep up the great work!

[@Flintous]

WOW!!! I was amazed when I heard it in the game, and immediately knew it was Poet of The Fall once the singer start, what a choice of band/song Remedy! great job!!!

[@mikkdc]

0:40 One of my all time favourite drops in a song, ever!

[@Zinkolo]

I'm here from the accoustic lab lol. Love this !!

[@JaceMorley]

Max Payne 2, Alan Wake, Control, amazing games each leading to a new generation of gamers discovering this amazing band.

[@LAZERAK47V2]

Dude, when I heard this in Control, I absolutely freaked out. Hopefully the Alan Wake sequel has some more bangers by PotF

[@HazopGaze]

A close friend and I do a sort of shared storytelling, with us both controlling the world and characters, creating stories that dive into the common to the uncomfortable, tackling difficult topics or tossing sense and normalcy out the window for the sake of fun, often at the expense of some character or group of characters. This song very much suits to what we do every day to some extent, and have done for nearly four years now. It's sort of in a roundabout way, but it makes it so much more interesting to us to listen to this and be reminded of those characters and stories we both hold so dearly.

[@David.Algren]

Can't get enough of listening to it. Has certain something that mesmerizes me 💜💜💜💜

[@Teutonius88]

Dancing like flames mesmerizing? :P

[@David.Algren]

@@Teutonius88 Yeah and fantasising without name :D

[@burrowsmichael05]

Played Control and heard a song I couldn't stop thinking about. Fantastic and invoking. Poets of the Fall.... I am listening to all songs now. So, so good.

[@satyamtomar3450]

One of my favourite bands for years, glad its being recognized.

[@HardkoreCasual]

I've been a fan of these guys for a long time, so when I was playing Control and suddenly their song came on while in the Ashtray maze, I was like, "Wait a minute, is this . . . " No denying the voice. And then I found this song in the lab.

[@6Rangiku9]

I love this song! First heard it in the new game Control by developer Remedy. It was in a random lab room that had nothing to do with the game really i just explored and found it in the research sector. Good lads remedy for letting me experience this song!!

[@ionshatter9622]

Thank you Control. Thank you for bringing me to this amazing song.

[@billymanziel5666]

This game is criminally underrated. What a banger.

[@sour.caelum5314]

Personal theory : The song is an object of power. Its ability is to make you think of the game Control, wich has a gun as main item.

[@dragondelsur5156]

It's ability is also to send the viewer chills down their spine.

[@Maddock_]

The gun is the main character, then comes Ahti, and then Jessie

[@AnthonyFlames275]

Being a big fan of Alan Wake (playing it not long after it had came out back in 2010) and now playing this game, with what I'm learning of this game and the fact that it has connections to Alan Wake, makes me think that the typewriter is a object of power In Alan Wake its explained that art in that area generally comes to life. And it would make sense the darkness brings it about (they basically imply it with explanations in the story or hints) but what if all the items the various artists use (Typewriter, a stereo system for OGOA, the paintbrush for Hartman's painter, etc) are all objects of power Would make things make a lot more sense.

[@Maddock_]

@gtd fern well it wasn't a list of the best characters, just the most important ones. Darling definitely is on the top 3 best characters in there, shame we don't actually meet him

[@Maddock_]

@gtd fern I'll never have enough Ahti tbh

[@someweebkid9826]

I had pressed the button and ran into the acoustic chamber expecting a funny/exclusive death, but instead I got an absolutely amazing song. Definitely looking into more by them.

[@crimsonstrykr]

So true. I wonder what the FBC was doing with the song though? They had a massive silent room, huge speakers and a single chair there.....

[@lorekeeper685]

​@@crimsonstrykrit's probably a song that alters reality or prophetic? Maybe some papers tell what it is

[@lorekeeper685]

​@@crimsonstrykrtho sweet corrupting reality sounds very much like the hiss

[@crimsonstrykr]

@@lorekeeper685 Btw did you find a similar sound room where a mannequin and a chair are floating?

[@lorekeeper685]

@@crimsonstrykr I sadly didn't played it but I assume by the lyric

[@Aqueous92]

Amazing lyrics that go extremely well with the music. I always love Poets of the Fall lyrics, they make me imagine everything so vividly

[@Gaias_guardian]

This song speaks to me on a level that words cannot express 🌌

[@hillhank1275]

This might be my favorite song ever, I'm so in love

[@Papa_Corgo]

Found the room that plays this song and I’m glad I did

[@hiatusinc]

I was very happily surprised to hear this song in Control. The album cover on the table. The whiteboard with the lyrics on it. If only Jesse could sit in the chair in the studio and listen to the song.

[@thekingmaker7276]

Thank you Control for this awesome new discovery both band and song!

[@samreddig8819]

Ive known about you guys for a while (though this is the first time you're in my KZbin reccomendations). Its good that control brought you guys new fans. You deserve it.

[@Isi-ldur]

I was on the way trying to finish platinum trophy for control on ps4 and going through secrets in game when i found the room and this song... Goddam the shivers it gave, i just stopped playing and listened it 3 times before i could continue playing... just awesome!

[@Fazeshyft]

With the initial chord progression and the eerie atmosphere, am I alone in thinking this song would make an incredible 007 movie theme??

[@codsamanta]

I love this song SO much! It even inspired me to make a painting! My favorite band

[@JACorvin]

Really wanna see a full Old Gods album. This is something we truly deserve.

[@Brunn0121]

It's amazing that this band started all the way back in 2003 because of Max Payne 2 and to this day they still make songs for remedy's games.
