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

Marko's facial expressions throughout the whole video is awesome

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.

"Did you ever feel your love eclipsing the Sun" No wonder they are called _Poets_ of the Fall. The lyrics they write are true examples of mastercrafted modern day poetry.

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.

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!

2024 anyone?

Producer: So how many times would you like to say the title? Marko: No

these eyes this damned smile he is not acting it's himself his own emotions

Marko has better contouring than any of popular beauty bloggers

I have to admit that when Marko plays it over-the-top he isn't 'just' over-the-top, he's brilliantly over-the-top.

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.

"did you ever feel your love eclipsing the sun" best way to describe an unbelievable love

It is not FAIR! A masterpiece like this shouldn't be underrated!

This trailer was brilliant, now Im waiting for the film to release.

Listening this song 5 time in a day

Can't believe it's been 8 years already. Love the song and the visuals.

Why do I get the feeling that Marko would make an awesome Cicero? He's got the faces, and the acting.

God cant get enough of this song Replaying it endlessly

Its 2019, and I still swooning over this classically beautiful masterpiece.

Wikipedia: Marko Saaresto, lead singer for Poets of the Fall, has a bass-baritone vocal range Marko: 1:12

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 love all of Marko's little 'personas' that he puts in the videos but the costume/make-up in this one is just incredible. POTF = art.

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!

Це шикарно! Мимоволі починаєшь рухатися в такт музиці. Обожнюю❤

His voice is soooo charming, unique, and soothing. His illustrations are amazing too, wish I knew of this band sooner... I've found myself in love with this man's voice...

Marko is a great actor. Tim Burton has to offer him a role in the film.

This man's voice gives me an eargasum every high note. The guitar is on point and the drums rock.. This is just.. Damn. Thank you.

The piano in this song is legit god tier. It all just comes together so beautifully. Lyrics, instruments, sound just everything. Amazing

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.

Watching the band perform this live was ABSOLUTE ECSTASY!!!!

these guys are rapidly becoming my new favorite band

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.

"Daze" Rolling down the free way, master to the speed of light, Screaming up in the air, bursting through the night No rest, I've stayed here too long, It's time to move on Reality's a three way, a scenery defined By tomorrow dubbed a mystery and the past just blurry lines If there's ever been injustice in my name, I bow unto blame And you can give me everything I need this way We'll be loving till the first light of the day Set the world on fire with bitter sweet desire To chase away the night, let the whole world burn Set the world on fire for bliss in sweet denial, oblivion and peace Will you let me burn? Drifting like a cast off, the shadows got it good With constant companions, would that I could Further afield my nemesis on stilts is gaining on me So I crawl across the state line, to another state of being Holding on for dear life to the better days I've seen Long for the comfort of your loving arms, your passions, your charms And you can give me everything I need this way We'll be loving till the first light of the day Set the world on fire with bitter sweet desire To chase away the night, let the whole world burn Set the world on fire for bliss in sweet denial, oblivion and peace Will you let me burn? Did you ever feel your love eclipsing the sun I give you the reason I'm still on the run Disappear in the heavy glare of neon And you can give me everything I need this way We'll be loving till the first light of the day Set the world on fire with bitter sweet desire To chase away the night, let the whole world burn Set the world on fire for bliss in sweet denial, oblivion and peace Will you let me burn!

This man's facial expressions are certainly one of the, if not THE most mastered ones I've ever come across. Throw me off reality's edge every time I press 'Play'...

Dark Jesters always intrigue me. The imagery in this video fuels the intrigue the music ties me to the performance. The expression of the harlequin is so interesting.

I’ve never been so obsessed with anything else in my life - I can’t get enough of this video! The song and the vocals are simply amazing already anyway, but Marko as this dark jester brings it all to life! His performance is beyond incredible, I’m completely captivated by every movement and facial expression… and his eyes! ❤ (I feel like I’ve fallen in love with a fictional character!!) This is an absolute masterpiece. I wish I’d discovered Poets years ago… so now I’m making up for lost time.

This has been growing on me. I never listen to this kind of music, but I just can't help but revisiting this. The music video is quite gorgeous, the mood and voice fits perfectly together. Not too pretentious and not too much trying-to-not-be. It's very artistically done. Well, it could just be his voice. I don't know - but that's the beauty of it.

The joker we didn't ask for but we deserve.

Im surprised he hasnt been in movies...this guy is an absolute genius of expression. His acting, even if in a music video, is absolutely amazing.

IMAGINATION That's the word that best defines Poets of the Fall. Creativity and passion. They are unique, they are magical. Fantasy crackles with every musical note. They are not just musicians. They make art and poetry. And Marko, your wonderful voice, your fucking body, your amazing talent… you're the essence of each verse. For me Poets of the Fall is the best ღ

2022 this is still an epic song, still an exceptional band, is there anybody out there who agrees ????????

Classically trained bass/baritone, but his range is IMMENSE. Also, Marko has pretty much the best sounding falsetto I've heard.

I love the Venetian Carnival theme, the masks, Marko's make-up, Marko's wig, the girl and her make-up, the guys partying with the girls and ignoring Marko, the Ferrari, Marko turning over the burning wine glass and setting the place afire, and as always marko singing. What can I say I love this video. ♥♥♥♥

he is very handsome in this make up. i cant listen to this song without watching to this clip :D and he played his role very well.

Such an underrated band, love them.

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.

Is it weird that I am highly attracted to him in costume? I love this video and the song is awesome.

Marko is pretty much boss-level to almost all the "pop" singers out there now, about quarter as popular.

I love his expression as he swats the glass off the table, it always gets a chuckle out of me

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…

Such an addictive track. The song's great, the lyrics are well written, and the visuals of the music video are just spot on. It's not just a song, it's an experience.

Those vocals, that range, my God I'm in love.

3:50 "fuck this glass in particular"

Why am I rewatching, rewatching and still rewatching the video again, again and again, though it's deep midnight?!)

Poets of the fall....are undoubtedly one of the best Bands out there. I wish more people get to know about them.

Silky Forest Moose used to be unaware of Poets of the Fall. Then, she played Alan Wake 2. Now, she's listening to Daze on repeat. Poets of the Fall. Not even once.

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

Notice anything about this group's music and videos? No half-naked women being objectified, no swearing and every song carries such a unique beauty that other bands could only hope to achieve. That's why they're easily my favourite musicians.

This is the second song I hear for this band after requiem of my harlequin, and I'm already in love.The music and clips are great and It's easy to taste something special.

Joker when he feels like bein' fancy.

To think that if it wasn't for Alan Wake I'd never have been introduced to PoTF. Man, what a Masterpiece that was... the band is also sublime.

Is that Cicero? Last time I saw him he was struggling with a broken wagon wheel...

Each song and video that Poets of the Fall do is like a metal stage play.

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.

I'm blaming this video and Marko for making me develop a jester kink......

Поэты снова доказывают что могут быть разными как в музыке так и в образах а Марко... ну он бог)

Poets of the fall , just like Muse, have brilliant lyrics , next to beautiful vocals. I love this band !

Poets of the Fall, they are true to their words. Such wonderful artists they are. Love them!

Saw them twice last month in Birmingham and Glasgow, UK. Also met them in Glasgow! I love them even more! Been a fan for about 12 years and finally seeing them live this year, and meeting them was an absolute dream!

its doesnt fair. how could this song has only 2 mil views in 2 year ?

I watch these guys for the music but a BIG part of it is their body movements, hand gestures, imagery and poetry to the visuals. Its attractive.😉

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

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.

That make-up artist though, is on point. Apart from the song (which is divine), Marko's and woman's makeup is on fire!

Is it a crime that I only just learned of this band like a month and a half ago? Because it should be.

Still a great performance to this day. Whenever I get sick of hearing the trash on local radio, I come back to the poets. Only wish I found them years ago

after listening to this for around 50 times straight, all I can say is I LOVE YOU GUYS. if you don't like his high pitched voice, you should run asap. that's the best part of his lovely voice. if you love POTF you love it the way it is. unconditional love

The falsetto and sinister jester look is so hot! It's captivating! He plays into the role really well.

Marko's expressions and the make-up in this song. 🖤

One of the best choruses I've heard in my life Just wonderful

madness is merry and merriment's might, when the jester comes calling with his knife in the night

That self-fulfilling feeling that you get when wanting to express your immense love for a song in the comment section... and realize everyone did a great job at that already... I find myself in most reactions, this song is truly one of a kind, I bless the moment I discovered it. Thank you for existing, Poets!

I think I just found my latest musical obsession! I love the eighties vibe I get from this. I love the darkness and the visuals! Those looks he gives are incredible!

Every soul has energy.. making even one soul happy is a great act, so making millions of people happy is a beyond words, thousands of musician made the history.. POTF is making one 💖

Damn, today's so called music is not even a bacteria in front of them.

It hurts how much I adore him.

Production design on this video is one of the most breathtaking ones I have ever seen on a music video. Maybe the best one. And ffs the lyrics and the story that is telling is just superb.

I Love this band, Marko is a brilliant artist and can seem to get into any character with ease as well as different music styles and vocal ranges that are a breath of fresh air. True art in every sense of the word.

This is what today's music is Missing. Lyrics that induce critical thinking. Poets of the fall you have earned a fan because of that. never change that concept

Lady Gaga and Adam Lambert, this is how you do drama, take notes.

I'm addicted to his voice. I can't stop listening to his song. His voice comes from heaven. I don't know how to describe my feelings. He is magical. His songs and music videos are pure ART.

Between his voice and fantastic looks, this man has me so captivated!!!

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.

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.

His expressions through the video are out of this world and those notes he hits are mind boggling

is it weird that i find him sooooo attractive in that makeup and wig

I vote for Marko as Joker in the next Batman movie :P
