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

Marko has probably the cleanest voice in the WORLD. Its just unreal!

For a rock band lyrics do matter.These guys are actually 'poets'.

A complete injustice to the world of music is that this band has not received the honors and recognition they so truly deserve. They are literally amazing and legendary. Can listen to their songs all day

Such an underrated band, unbelievable. They don't have 1 bad song!

This band really deserves more popularity. So good.

It's hard to believe that these guys have almost no fan base in the U.S. I've been a fan for almost three years. These guys are phenomenal. Brilliant video!

Напишу на русском комментарий. Первая песня, которую я услышала у этой группы была "Sleep Sugar" в далёком 2013, потом "Lift" - очень они мне понравились. Спустя несколько лет я и поиграла в Алана Вейка и мне саундтрек показался со знакомым голосом, но я не обратила внимания. И вот сейчас, играя в долгожданную вторую часть Алана узнала, что там поют Поэты. Шоком было узнать, что разраб игры и солист друзья, так ещё и финны. Обощаю их культуру! Песня огонь, группа огонь!

It's agonizing to see how underrated these guys are for a band that has no bad songs, they're literally poets.

This band certainly doesnt constantly sound the same on every song they sing. Lead singer has one hell of a voice!

Anyone in 2023???

Still the most underrated band from Finland.. so weird..

It’s almost 2020 and I just heard about them, I listened like 5 songs and all are awesome, how that they weren’t on the mainstream? How?

An old roommate of mine, from my time with the Marine Corps, introduced me to this band. There's some real, visceral, emotional memories tied to some of their music. Hits me like a truck even 11 years later.

I like how everyone around him is getting pissed off, and he's just all calm and smiling psychotically.

I don't know why but this song reminds me of my highschool years so much. The times when I was together with my friends having fun and not giving a sh about the problems of life. Now as grown ups, we don't talk anymore because of work, everybody is tired, nobody enjoys life anymore. Life has become work and home everyday. Nobody wants to hang out with me anymore, I'm too depressed. I tried su1cide twice yesterday. But music is one of the only things that makes me feel alive and keeps me alive. And this song is just so magical, so special to me. I'm glad I found this song again before it was too late.

One of the best bands ever coming from Finland and i'm a proud Finnish! :) Marko has amazing voice! Poets pretty much perfected the "atmospheric" rock.

What an incredible piece of artistic work, I´ve never commented on a song before but this was too good not to. At first I listened to it and thought "I just really like the sound of it and the feeling of rising above difficulties that seems to come out of the chorus". Then as i watched the video a couple of times all sorts of symbolism began to break through. So here´s my take on it and what it means (to me at least); the prison is our society and all the constraints, restrictions and regulations that it imposes upon us. The parole board and guards may be people around us who expect us to conform to the constraints and regulations or to fit into a mold, this is obviously different for everyone but examples might be; an employer, parents, spouse, our children, or even a government/social system etc etc. The moth represents freedom, creativity, following a dream. The room full of moths represents most peoples dreams, pinned down and forgotten. His moth flies freely even though his body may be incarcerated, I think this is especially beautiful because even though most of us may be caught up in a "normal" life and have to pay bills, work etc etc it doesn´t stop us from dreaming and and being creative, we just have to find what it is in this world that gives us that lift! The mundane is described as " move in circles day to day, twist the drama of the play to get us by", a constant repetition. I believe that that the woman (whose picture was used as an article of evidence ) was the one who gave the author his lift and what he needed to rise above the mundane. For each person it may be different but it´s unimportant what it is, just as long as it IS there, it could be travel, a love,or whatever, but we all need to find our own "lift" and never let the mundane or expectations placed upon us by others hold us back from being happy and living to our full potential . Whatever it is that will " lift my spirit take me higher make me fly touch the moon up in the sky when you are mine" then it is that which we must pursue with all our heart and mind. The most profound moment in the video of course is when freedom and creativity and the following of our dreams are deemed to be a "menace to society" as adjudged by the parole board :) Perhaps the woman and guard losing their temper is how people around us react when we tell them "actually I am not going to be what you want me to be, instead I have dreams of my own that I´m going to follow". This is my interpretation and what it means to me, feel free to differ. I´m sure I´ve missed lots of other symbolism but that´s what the song spoke to me.

Times when I just can't Bring myself to say it loud 'Fraid that what I'll say comes out somehow awry That is when it seems We move in circles day to day Twist the drama of the play to get us by And it feels like fear, like I'll disappear Gets so hard to steer yet I go on Do we need debate when it seems too late Like I bleed but wait like nothing's wrong You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly Touch the moon up in the sky when you are mine You lift me higher, take my spirit, make it fly Where all new wonders will appear Like the other day I thought you won't be coming back I came to realize my lackluster dreams And among the schemes And all the tricks we try to play Only dreams will hold their sway and defy When it feels like fear, like I'll disappear Gets so hard to steer yet I go on So do we need debate when it seems too late Like I bleed but wait like nothing's wrong You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly Touch the moon up in the sky when you are mine You lift me higher, take my spirit, make it fly Where all new wonders will appear You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly Touch the moon up in the sky when you are mine You lift me higher, take my spirit, make it fly Where all new wonders will appear Take me higher (Make me fly) Make me fly (Moon up in the sky) Make me fly Take me higher (Take my spirit) (Make it fly) (Wonders appear)

My favourite song of not only Poets' but of all time. I met the band last month in Glasgow and asked Marko to write the chorus for me on my Signs of Life CD booklet. Like the gentleman he is, he did it. :)

How could you explain Marko's voice to someone who doesnt know about this band ? Would you say he has a soft voice ? Or would you say he has a robust voice ? Or perhaps you may prefer saying he has a powerful voice or maybe you might wanna say he is melodious.....i couldnt explain his voice with just 1 word...astonishingly he belongs to ALL above mentioned categories !!!

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

The view count makes me want to cry. How can a song this good only get 7 million views in 12 years? It should have hit over billion views by now.

Anyone listening in 2024!🥹

This mans voice is epic

Just attended their concert yesterday in Berlin Metropol.. Brought back childhood memories! Thankyou Poets of the Fall for all the awesome memories!

Such a pure song.... Such clean voice.... No wonder the band is underrated... Anyone in 2021????

They sure did lift me higher and made me touch the moon first time saw them live.

I must have listened to this song close to a hundred times now. These guys.

14 years later this song is still so amazing. PotF has done some amazing music, I own every album and will continue to buy them all.

Been a POTF fan since their beginning! Seen them live about 10 times, awesome live band too!

Just love Marko's dream voice

A friend of mine from Finland introduced me to this band and I never looked back..I am from Botswana and we met when she visited my country. When ever i miss her Poets of The Fall helps me fill up the void.

this band is totally underrated. amazing!

2023 has gone by......we are in 2024 now, still listening to it....a timeless classic...thanks for your music POTF🙏

If you happen to be listening on good headphones see if you can hear the way when he sings 'disappear' leaps to the right and far back almost behind you- like it's disappearing. Just now caught that. Cool little detail.

I seldom collect all the discographies of a music band and I collected for this band. And this is one of my favourites from #Potf Still loving it after many years! love, from India 🇮🇳

I love how she has "Illusionist" and "Dreamer" checked on her sheet....Illusion and Dream X)

The chorus has such great rhythm like seriously I have never heard any other singer with a voice like his.

My favorite, Poets is so good! Love it😘

I cannot believe i never heard of them until i played control like 5 years ago! This band is sensational!

This strangely has to be one of the most positive songs I have ever had the pleasure of hearing! It just makes me feel so happy. It's a song that I can easily lose myself in for hours at a time.

Whenever I feel sad or disappointed, I come here to listen to this wonderful song. I don't know, it just takes me back to my childhood.

Thanks to Alan Wake for making me discover these guys!

WHAT AN ANGELIC VOICE HOLY FUCKING SHIT

One of the first songs that brought me to Poets of the fall.

3:08 - 3:32 one of the greatest guitar solo I've ever heard. Absolutely Electrifying!

I didn't really respond to this song at first... Then I started waking up with it in my head... Now I'm here, December 2020 listening OVER AND OVER. LOVE these guys

That was really beautiful and disturbing. This music, and these lyrics, and those videos - all of these create an atmosphere of a dream. Of a beatiful colourful nightmare, which looks like a fairy-tale till the very last moment, when it's already too late to run. Actually, I don't even want to. It's so hypnotizing.

"Times when I just can't bring myself to say it loud, 'fraid that what I'll say comes out somehow awry." First two friggin verses and the song is already speaking to me on a personal level. Poets of the Fall are OP musicians, and I hope life never ever nerfs them.

This was my first POTF song. I was around 14-15 years old and after seeing the video on TV , there was no looking back.

Marko is an unbelievable vocalist. So heavenly!!

oh they played a guitar solo!!! What a solo!!!

I live in America and just discover this band and have bought every album I could find. Marko has such an amazing voice with such a range I have rarely ever heard and Ollie’s bas playing is also amazing they don’t have one bad song and the lyrics oh my gosh. I’m straight obsessed

Instant nostalgia . As a boy ..living the golden years of my life and a metal head ..then came the hip hop age and eventually classic songs and now it's just great Nostalgia ... What a beautiful masterpiece .. Driving on the beautiful streets of the beautiful city Chandigarh ..with this song .. What a feel...!! Miss those days ... Heartache after heartache ..

Such an underrated band.

14 years later and it's still fire 🔥🔥🔥

there is no other band on the planet more underrated than these guys. like the instrumentals slap and the lyrics are clever and just beautifully composed.

One word - UNDERRATED.

Sounds like a dream!

Returned to this after 7 years. Feels unreal and fresh again just like I found it first time.

I love the guitar riff.

If you are still listening this masterpiece in 2024 , you have a great music sense. Love from India.✌️

the guitar part is amazing

Welp, it's 2024 and I just won't stop listening to this masterpiece

36 are Menace to Society. Even after 9 years, this song still sounds amazing.

The feeling in his voice..

WELL IT F*CKIN' LOOK LIKE A DAMN BUTTERFLY TO ME

anyone in 2024?

Two good things came of buying Alan Wake. Number 1, the game was epic, and I'm ready for a legit sequel. Number 2, I was introduced to an amazing band that's captivated me with every song. Excellent work, Poets! (I'd much rather study this kind of poet in Lit class lol)

I saw them live yesterday (at Kolkata, India), you won't believe how good this band sounds live.

The only poets on the planet who make a difference .😎

These guys are criminally underrated and unknown

Maybe 6 years ago i meet this band and ooooh man the chills still gets on me, what a incredible band omg... Love from Argentina!

While everyone’s enjoying marko’s vocals I couldn’t get more excited watching his video. Hats off to the film makers for creating such creative visuals.

Потрясающая группа. В 2013 году посетил их концерт в Ростове-на-Дону - до сих пор под впечатлением, а сколько приятных воспоминаний... Только я не пойму одного: почему поклонников их творчества так заботит, что коллектив "недооценен" и не набирает over 9000 просмотров в секунду? Мне, например, это только импонирует - я слушаю потрясающую музыку от талантливых исполнителей, которая при этом не играет из каждого утюга. Музыканты получают своё за их труд, никто из них не бедствует, их музыка при этом остаётся качественной и не заезженной! Так зачем мне беспокоиться о просмотрах?.. Amazing band! Attended their concert in 2013 and I still impressed. A lot of lovely memories... But say me: why do you worry about their "underration" and less-then-100 mil views? Their music is great because it`s not so popular and it doesn`t play from every corner. Guys get their own money and they are pretty rich i think. Meanwhile their music remains clean and high-quality. So why should I worry about views?..

The guitar in this is way too good to compare with. And ofc Maarko is a gem

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate that absolute beauty of a guitar solo? Probably my favorite guitar solo of all time. Also one of my favorite songs ever!!!🤘🤘

Actually I don't know this band. But when I met my Rock and asked me what's my favorite band. I answered him I liked country songs. Then he told me that his favorite band is Poets of the fall. And he sent me their songs. Oooooh my God where that voice came from. So angelic voice. I love it. Cradel for love. Oooooh mine. My song for my Rock. I love you more my Rock ♥️♥️♥️

In US this band would had been a huge success if been american, but they today have fans all over the world. One of the best bands ever from Finland.

i didn't find this band. this band found me. so powerful the images in my mind when i hear this. so gothic. the beautiful sadness. i understand now :')

For the 5 years I've known them, I've never been able to get bored of this band. This video/song will always be special to me. Thank you PoTF!!

This band will always be a cure for my depression

Always & forever

Almost 20 years; from Max Payne 2; Late goodbye

Marko ohh Marko !! How can you be this good !!

I miss those days in 2010 when these songs used to inspire me to sing and play guitar and think I could someday be cool enough like them to have a music band of my own. I miss this so much

2019 and I STILL keep this song on repeat when I'm driving or at work. POTF is still one of my all-time favourite bands! Marko's singing always lifts my spirits, takes me higher, makes me fly...

I swear to God once this song got to the chorus it made my heart open right up something I haven’t felt with music since I was a kid. Holy baby Jesus I’m a few years too late to the dance probably eh. God bless this band

Its 2021 and i listen this everyday

anyone still coming back to this lovely song?

Here in 2020 again. One of my fav bands of all time. What the hell happened to good music?

These guys are so underrated

Более 30 раз посмотрел это видео и только в этот раз осознал его суть. Poets of the Fall Thank You! Процветайте ребята! Ждем!

STILL HERE. LOVE THIS 😭😭💜❤️💜❤️

Ты приносишь мне радость, возносишь выше, заставляешь парить, Я достаю до луны, когда ты со мной... Ты приносишь мне радость, возносишь выше, заставляешь лететь Туда где рождаются все чудеса...

I was 9 when i heard this song now I'm 17. This song still hits hard. Love from India 🇮🇳

The fandom may be small, but we sure are a devoted bunch. #POTFForever.

Listening to this master piece from 2009 I think. Every year 30-40 times.

One of the finnish excellent bands, which can type the lyric into song, and the song comes through the lyrics, easily.

that guitar solo gives me goosebumps.
