POETS OF THE FALL - Carnival of Rust reaction with Mike & Ginger 

This artistic video is from the year 2006. It even won some prizes. POTF has been quite internationally famous band almost two decades for now. Very professional and versatile band. Marko Saaresto's voice is unique, especially his falsetto is beautiful. He's also native English speaker, because his mother is a Brit. Excellent pick from you. ⛄👍

I first heard of Poets of the Fall back when their song "Late Goodbye" was featured on game Max Payne 2. I have seen them live at least twice.

I cannot recommend this band enough - yes they're not your typical 'heavy' Finnish band but musically there are countless examples of just really good stuff and Marko is an amazing vocalist.

I love how he moves on stage and sings with his hands, watch this one live, pure talent.

I have been a Fan of this Band for More than 15 years, They are Incredible. You Guys should Check out one of ther Live Performances from the Moscow Concert 2013. Every song is Amazing so I am not Suggesting any one in particular.

This is a song about obsessive love. The gas mask symbolised that she was taking precautions against toxic relationships. But he spotted her vulnerability and tries to capture her heart in a cunning way but to no avail in the end.

Definitely check out the Alexander Theater sessions as some have suggested here. They are just amazing.

I became a fan of this band after finishing the Max Payne game and listening to their song used on the end credits

I think this isn't just one of the best bands ever from Finland, but it is in general huge band with their mixed multilayered sounds and of course the lead singer has a very strong voice.

Cradled In Love is another favourite of mine by POTF. Poets Of The Fall - Daze (Official Video w/Lyrics) 🤘 Poets Of The Fall - Love Will Come To You (Official 4K Video w/Lyrics) 🤘

Daze from Poets of the Fall might be something that would tickle your ear drums. They've got plenty of great songs to choose from, and whatever you pick up you wont go wrong.

You guys are on a roll... A nice surprise to see you do Poets of the Fall. This song is haunting, and amazing. Once again I was lucky enough to see them live in Atlanta a few years ago at ProgPower USA. They were a nice surprise, an indie rock band at a progressive/power Metal festival. The promoter (Glenn) was a big fan of theirs, so he wanted them there that year.... Keep up the great work you two! Keep Rockin' Eh!

Wow, you finally did some POFT. Thank you so much! And now we all need some more :) There are already some great suggestions in comments for example their Alexander Theatre Sessions pieces.

My wife's favourite band 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Loved it...great song & visuals

Daze official, cradled in love live from moscow. They sound even better in those live recordings ❤

The story with the cards [beside his booth] tell a very very sad tale that weaves with the symbolism through the video. The realization of love, loss of innocence, the yearn for the wrong thing, running out of chances, getting what you want but not what you need and realizing what you've done but it's too late; the damage has been done and opportunities lost

Nice one ,looking good.decent music video, excellent song really strong voice 🇬🇧🌹

I enjoy your videos on POTF, and occasionally come back to see some of them again. I know time is an issue, but if you could swing it, it would be fun to see you re-watch some of the earliest videos of POTF that you reacted to in light of all the songs you've listened to and reviewed since your introduction to the band. What do you think of Marko's voice? Is it better suited for one type of song as opposed to another? The guitars, drums and keyboards? Anything new there that you've picked up on? How about the diversity of their music? What would you say about that? All of that kind of thing. You've watched and reviewed a lot of POTF videos. A retrospective would be fun! (I still get choked up when Ginger gets choked up during "Dancing on Broken Glass").

Love the song War

Thanx 4 pickin up my suggestion next I recommend there song false kings 😊

Comfortable music 🎵🎶🥁🎤👍 ❤✌☕

Here's my take on the video and what it means. The circus itself is very sinister and seems almost predatory with the imagery and how the performers are presented, and the fortune teller is not any better. His song isn't a ballad of sincerely loving and wanting to be with a woman he cares about, it is him demanding that this woman has to love him because he's decided she is his savior who will pull him from his miserable and decrepit position. It's even shown in the Tarot reading he does, the Star portraying her as a savior or beacon of hope and healing and the Nine of Swords representing his misery and despair he insists she is meant to save him from. "I need you. Without you I have nothing, so I am demanding that you love me so that I can be be fixed and escape this place." The opening lyrics make this pretty clear, since once the prose is deciphered it's basically him saying "You definitely share my obsessive and greedy idea of love and don't fault me for pushing this desperate fixation on you, don't you?" The creepy carnival barker at the game the woman is drawn to who is clearly just eager to get money from her is played by the singer as well, seemingly symbolizing how self-interested and dysfunctional his idea of love and desire to have somebody take him away from his problems actually is. The woman being in a gas mask to me also has some symbolism, showing the circus as a literally toxic environment and hinting at how the fortune teller doesn't even see her face as an individual beyond the love and obsession he is projecting onto her even as she backs up in seeming fright once the chorus kicks in with his direct demand and her attention gets drawn elsewhere while he gets more desperate as his perceived only chance to escape his misery leaves him to rust.

Thank you for the reaction. Please react to Daze mv, Sleep and Carnival of rust live from the Moscow concert 2013 and False kings mv.

Could I possibly just mention Billy Joels old saying "It¨s still rock ' roll to me". I just did.

Excellent

love this♥️♥️♥️

I wish they'd release this song in Finish too :)

Yes I agree the sound is beautiful...damn it every song of them has a nice sound overall but what's more interesting is the lyrical structure of this song! It's impressively written for a finnish guy and having this excellent vocabulary for a finnish guy is impressive... In The chorus he alternatively talks about lust and love if you'll listen that single line makes you think multiple instances! There are very few greats to achieve this some examples are TOOL , IRON MAIDEN, DIO. "Just go through this verse! It's all a game, avoiding failure When true colors will bleed All in the name of misbehavior And the things we don't need I lust for after no disaster can touch Touch us anymore And more than ever I hope to never fall Where enough is not the same it was before " you'll see the genius of this song! They put the lyrics in their vids because they clearly want us to connect with it!

Ginger love yours bouh😅😅😅

Great choice for a reaction ... check out the Alexander Theater sessions !

G - You were so concerned about klowns, that you jumped when the peaceful music explodet. Well, now you can makeup Mike like that and get intolerance therapy...😁

Best Band Ever! Also recommend checking out their songs False Kings & Drama For Life!

Listen to Lift Late Goodbye Locking up the sun War Given and Denied Temple of Thought

Poets of the fall are an amazing band, been a fan for a very long time, check out a band called the old gods of Asgard, it's the same members but under a different name when they did the soundtrack for a game called Alan wake, it's more rock oriented and the guitarist really let's loose on those solos, I highly recommend a song called children of the elder god

Intelligent, classy and good looking video. The video you reacted to wasn't bad either...

look up the song poets of the fall war alexander theater sessions ! then you will see how great this guys voice is not that this was a bad song just the song i suggested showcases his voice much better

Her eyes... On Drop..... 😳😍😍

There's only one Poets of the Fall song with a clown, and this isn't it. :) (there is another with a jester, but I don't know if you'd say that's the same as a clown)

You should even listen to their song, Sleep.

Yes yes yes

La canción es preciosa pero la voz todavía lo es más 👍

He's not portraying a clown he's portraying a mime...

I highly recommend you look up a video game called Alan Wake this band did the music for that game and the music they did for that video game is absolutely amazing. Seriously look it up as soon as you get a chance

Reminds me of Stained (stained is my breakup band).... might try these guys next time if it happens again, knock on wood it does not ps. love the dress by the way... classy and sexy at the same time

🤘🇫🇮🤘

Oh, here's another clowny one for you! Henric de la Cour is a Swedish indie/rock/goth/occasionally electronic artist who's music is sort of outside what I usually listen to, but I still have all his solo albums because there's just something there that I can't quite put my finger on. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bix3SHxek-E.html

another Poets of the fall ...War.

Alan Wake.

😊🇫🇮🤘❤️🎶🎹🎸🥁✨👍

Excellent I too liked his voice but the video leaves a lot to be desired, I listened without watching and that worked well. Another European group to add to the list. ❤️🤘🇦🇺
