Lyrics:
Night, the world, it’s mine, with nobody else out here
It’s time, run wild and royally cavalier
To burn, ignite, I’d do it for so much less
When all is made clear there is nothing else
And here we stand, the sweet arresting duality
And I come to, it’s resin all over me
Will I awake, will I get a ride with you
In this race of two
We’re an endless stream of choices
We’re the softest murmur of voices
Without names we’re fantasising
Dancing like flames, mesmerising
My dark disquiet playing such eerie harmonies
Making waves and diving under
Lightning to the sound of thunder
My dark disquiet singing such haunting melodies
So white, so still, so bright, it’s almost too painful now
I’m ready to fight, to run from the light
And here now comes the sweet corrupting reality
While now I’m free, will I once cease to be
Will I awake, will I get a ride with you
In this race of two
We are momentary masters
We’re false kings and bastards
Without names we’re fantasising…
We are marionettes by strings animated
Yet like lovers of strings liberated
Without names we’re fantasising…
Brothers by blood separated
Marionettes animated
Lovers of strings liberated

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.

The first time I played through I ignored it completely, can't believe I missed it for so long. I only listened on my second playthrough to see if there was some kind of hidden special effect or something and realized I loved this song!

I stumbled upon the acoustics lab on accident, punched the button, and heard some music. By the end of the song, I was literally crying tears of joy.

[@eden20111]

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?

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.

[@Serpream]

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.

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

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

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

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

Listen to their 2nd and 3rd album.

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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!!!

[@thekingmaker7276]

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

[@satyamtomar3450]

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

[@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.

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

[@Chest3rTheSquirrel]

I had the pleasure of playing through control for my partner (who was loving it) and got to show them to experience this song the same way I did. My first playthrough I was already having so much fun but this part solidified it as one of my favorite games.

[@dsedh23]

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

[@ParallelLogic]

4:13 The way each syllable is drawn out in "Melodies" reminds me of how Freak Kitchen sings "Like Meeeee" in "Freak of the Weak" about 4 minutes in.

[@MCOmegaX123]

1)Did the song elicit any particular memories? If so, elaborate. The song itself elicited fleeting, fading memories, or at least a feeling of familiarity. 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. I'm in my bedroom. In front of me is my computer monitor, to my fore-left the computer itself, to my immediate left my mobile phone, and to my slight rear left a shelf with various random knick-knacks on it. To my right is my bed, above which are several books and statues. 5)Have you ever heard the murmur of voices when no one is present? If so, what did they say? Do you hear them now? Often when I'm drifting off to sleep, but what they say is indistinct. I do not hear them now. 6)Please choose one from each of the following pairs: 6a)1 or 2 2 6b)A or B A 6c)Day or Night Night 6d)Apple or Orange Apple 6e)Burn out or Fade away Fade away

[@chiffmonkey]

Your answer to question 1 is really interesting, because it sort of matches up with the lyrics to Sweet Escape.

[@alexrusset8614]

Makes me wonder what exactly they were testing for. Anomalous properties?

[@milkgxng]

@@alexrusset8614 I think the speakers were an object or some portion of them or maybe it's just aj oke that they were using all that funding money to listen to music with huge speakers kek

[@milkgxng]

or they were trying to find out if music affected them idk or maybe the song itself of the object of power

[@Kanerudo]

@@milkgxng If my interpretation of the song is right, then it is an object of power and might even be a teaser for AWE or even something bigger

[@JaceMorley]

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

[@Gaias_guardian]

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

[@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!!

[@Pepsidoll33]

The feeling when you decide to listen to a whole new song and it is a total banger. 🤩

[@sheodagana2863]

So glad to see Remedy still working with this amazing band!

[@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.

[@ChaosAngel209]

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

[@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!

[@Chenzihaha]

Control - first time played. Unlocked 100% achievement. This song in the lab and the metal song in the ash tray magazine is both my top 1 moments of the game

[@vos7619]

Here from Control; such a good song!

[@wolflogic420]

I can never thank remedy enough for introducing me to this wonderful band

[@LAZERAK47V2]

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

[@PeTTs0n88]

Not only is the song a masterpiece, Captain shows his production chops by putting together this awesome video too! Old demoscene vibes, which probably isn't very strange. :p

[@nightstar3171]

This song is amazing, I got goosebumps.

[@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.

[@codsamanta]

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