Poets of the Fall - Daze (Official Video w/ Lyrics)

[@PuertoRicanBoi127]

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.

[@DoubleBread]

[@starrlynn2523]

[@kennethmilam2894]

Absolutely nailed it. I swear I've watched this a million times

[@SoulConflicted]

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.

[@thelonelywolf88]

Marko's facial expressions throughout the whole video is awesome

[@Charientisma]

Nightmare fuel...

[@vanspoorsveeplays357]

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

[@thelonelywolf88]

I still find it really hard to believe that's actually Marko in that make up

[@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

[@boardie85]

ikr :D

[@LindaMcKenzie-ns6pq]

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.

[@Donkichoff]

oui c'est exact, il me fait penser à Rammstein, il a quelque chose de commun avec 🙂

[@Hizzukka]

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!

[@DesertDragons13]

I think what makes his higher falsetto parts work so well is that fact that he is a jester. It matches so well.

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.

[@santoshmitra3934]

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.

[@KanohiVahi]

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’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.

[@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.

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

[@sasquatchhohman8241]

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?"

[@SilverAlex92]

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.

[@mortenmarchholdtskovgaard9278]

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.

Познакомилась с Поэтами давно. в 2013. Была на многих концертах вживую. Всякий раз это 100% прилив энергии.Марко шикарен. В личном общении это еще усилилось .Это самое лучшее, что хочется слушать

[@Jenkkimie]

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]

+Jenkkimie Then you don't watch a lot of music videos mate

[@Rikeilan]

+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

[@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.

[@Rikeilan]

Jenkkimie And also making something you enjoy without listening to people who want to make you... "commercial"

[@BenignViewer]

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.

[@michaelowens7726]

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.

[@acquazzur]

Mi Ow Of course it tells a story!

[@BenignViewer]

Cor Cordis ^

[@elyzhium]

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.

[@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!

[@just1bandfan104]

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!

[@rossanaguillen1230]

Oh, you totally should!!! They are awesome, I recomend you "War", "My Dark Disquiet", y "Partir Avec Moi".

[@skeeterb2006]

@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.

It was Control for me. So glad I found them.

[@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.

[@torpmorp1324]

noneya business they have their own private record label (Insomniac Records?). That’s why. No big money or marketing behind them.

[@KAYKAYMUS]

You have good taste and that is rare. Thats the reason why

[@bddb9239]

Got drawn in by Dark Disquiet, but that, this, and Carnival of Rust are amazing

[@Interfector0]

@TheMowens I first stumbled on them thanks to music videos someone put together with some of their songs (Locking Up the Sun and Carnival of Rust) and cutscenes from the Thief series. Alas, I think the guy who put these together had his account deleted. Crying shame that.

[@mousermind]

Same. Their range, both vocal and stylistic, are impressive.

[@jkonnect8902]

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.

[@globalcitizenn]

The more I watch it, the more I see the brilliance and genius.

I'm a spanish girl with an average level of english, that's why sometimes i just dont get the meaning of the song and is very frustrating for me, but i really try to understand (moreover, I'm learning english motivated for your music). I have been listening POTF since i was child and i dont get tired. If only they would came close to Spain... I would kill for being English, because in january they will go to UK and i will be over 1000 kms away. For me, the best band i could imagine. You are not only people who makes music, you are magicians, you are poets.Please,don't change :D (And so sorry about my english, but Spain is Spain.)

Save money and buy flights to UK and tickets to their concert! :) Btw, I live in Finland so I can see them pretty much every time I want. :D

[@Luculencia]

I live in Gibraltar and I flew from Gib to UK to see them (it helps I also have a home in UK to stay in though so no hotel fees). It's not that expensive to fly these days, you'd only need to stay 1 or 2 nights if all you wanted to see was the concert.

[@2010Viktors]

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!
