This was an unexpected punch in the feels.
My wife died June 3rd, 2017, of cancer. I sang Fragile to her as she died -- we were going to use that as our dance for our wedding ceremony.
This.. This really hit me.
Thank you. So very, very much.
I'm so sorry for your loss :(
Sorry for your loss I hope you're doing well.
I'm sorry for your loss. I wish you a long prosperous life to honour her memory
I'm really sorry for your loss. I lost my mother and fragile always reminds me of her so much. Hang in there, that's all I'll say.
Sorry for your loss m8 :(
Just noticed at the end, when he's standing by the water looking at the picture, he's wearing the necklace she had on. That's a great touch.
That's a beautiful observation
Wow! Great observation indeed.
Symbolism ❤💗
I added Finland to my list of the countries that I want to visit just because of Poets of the fall. Im so in love with them.
ME TOO, ME TOO..
@@meigyntay9226 welcome to finland
me tooo me toooo
This song literally came out at the perfect time in my life. I met the most amazing woman this summer. We fell for each other so quick. She was only here for a short time. Her Visa expired a week ago and she returned home. I drove her down to NYC so she could catch her flight home to Bosnia... the night before she left, we visited times square at 3 AM. There was a guy standing there with a big speaker preforming his rap songs. I walked over to him, slipped him a twenty and asked if I could plug my phone into it for one song... I played this. I grabbed her by the hand... and we danced to this song... I just started tearing up when I wrote that line... I miss her so much.
Good music isn't gone, you just have to look a little harder to find it. Thank you PotF!
His voice is out of the world!! ❤
First truth of your life..
The only thing that stands beside your loneliness....are poets 😍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
GOURAB PATRA, being a poet is awfully lonely 😞
everyone is looking for bold love not a quiet writer.
Authors and poets are the ones that truly write the masterpieces of this world. For example, Freddie Mercury. And they always die far too early. Finnish poets Eino Leino, Yrjö Jylhä and Lauri Viita... all passed barely in their 50s.
So true!!!
@@sarahdittmann6423 well some wants both❤️
Good one ❤😂❤
Как мне знаком смысл клипа... Сама была 2 года без волос,без бровей, без ресниц... Спасибо моему мужу,что не бросил и поддержал меня в тот трудный момент. Я жива и наслаждаюсь песнями этой великой группы! Спасибо,что вы есть)!!!
Lyrics
This place a palace of light drawn with shade
Of silence and pretence a token of our trade
And here you and I lie wreathed in flames
All over a life lived by making up new games
Of gazes and whispers
I want you to know I still love you
Even though we've been dancing on broken glass
Parade all your memories, for the moments we shared
Never fade away
I want you to know I still love you
When I walk down the memory lane
Where the night swears its love to the stars
There will be no more tears today, hey hey
We shared a penchant for cyanide praise
Fashioned our armours of empathy's malaise
And all of that hurt, and all of those words that we said
You'd think we poisoned the ground on which we tread
But the lining is silver
I want you to know I still love you
Even though we've been dancing on broken glass
Parade all your memories, for the moments we shared
Never fade away
I want you to know I still love you
When I walk down the memory lane
Where the night swears its love to the stars
There will be no more tears today, hey hey
The best of intentions will not see the road paved
The end of illusions, who could ever be saved
What's left behind in the storms that we braved
The troubles we find and the chances we waived
We're going where dreams really come true
And we won't be held back by our fears
Come hell or high water
We'll trust there's a life for us here this way
I want you to know I still love you
Even though we've been dancing on broken glass
Parade all your memories, for the moments we shared
Never fade away
I want you to know I still love you
When I walk down the memory lane
Where the night swears its love to the stars
There will be no more tears today, hey hey
Hey hey
❤️
The Poets truly understand the majesty and beauty that resides within love and acceptance. So many poignant and amazing messages put forth here.
I also believe the leading man is indeed the older gentleman crying in the "Love Will Come To You" video.
The fact that they appear to be in an amusement park or carnival leads me to think that this song is thematically opposite to "Carnival of Rust." That song heavily dealt with the love of material possessions over true human connection under a palette of washed out colours representing a loss of passion. Here however there is a sense of vibrancy and bright colour everywhere. So brilliant!
"It's all a game, avoiding failure, when true colours will bleed." - CoR, "Her clashes of colours are flashes of society in ashes." - The Game, "Passion Colours Everything", CoR video has a token at the end "Cor Cordis", the tin can game they're playing is called "Break for Freedom" in CoR - a foreshadowing of "Revolution Roulette" in the same way that "House of Dusk" is a foreshadowing of "Twilight Theater". Also the bit with the wine glass seems to be a reference to Daze.
Wow! I didn't even notice these. I'm impressed!
Exactly
love your vision!
They are AMAZING with their music videos
If you look at the video for 'False Kings', there are a lot of cross references there too
I dont care if you are trying out a different type of music guys, i will always, ALWAYS love your music. This band gave me so much, just keep on creating what you feel is right. You are one of the few people in modern music that puts their soul into their music, in an industry full fake people. Love you guys, and always will !!
First time I saw "Cradled in love" tears started falling without asking. And now you did it again. And when you're singing and crying at the same time... you know only real music makes you feel like this. Chapeau.
Absolutely love this song. Up until a few months ago, I had no clue they even existed, then they popped up as a suggestion, so I gave them a listen. I was going through a rough time, seeing how my wife had just left me, taking our two kids with her. I had hit rock bottom and needed any little bit of hope and comfort I could find. Poets Of The Fall helped me in a way that no other band has. I could feel the passion and love in their music, and it brought me a fair share of comfort. Things worked out in the end and now I have my family back. Not saying the Poets are the reason for it, but their music sure helped me keep my hopes up and make it through the darkest hour of my life. Forever a fan.
I have listened to this song and watched this video dozens of times - on my own. I'm 70 and I cannot watch this without weeping; I suffer intense pain pretty much daily, but that doesn't touch me anywhere near as much as this does. Simply beautiful and so poignant
And my opinion hasn't changed - this beautiful song still has me in floods of tears; it crushes my heart and releases me.
@@dumbchumbles3583 I'm a 52 yo man, only discovered this great band last week and this song yesterday. I have been sharing it with everyone I know as I tell them, I aint crying alone! As many have said, this band is criminally underrated.
did this make anyone else cry randomly for the first time on the tenth listen in a row?
It happened on the third for me around the bridge after the second chorus
@@rowthenplays984 ooo that's a pretty good part of the song, I don't blame ya
Hell out of crying
My mom is a cancer survivor, feels bad for those who couldn't make it, hope they're in heaven.
And the Poets make me cry once again. They never fail to amaze. In a generation of songs full of reused beats and similar sounds, POTF is always a breath of fresh air
My younger brother died of cancer last year at age 33. I listen to this song when I need to cry but can't.
I've been listening to PotF for awhile now, and can honestly say that they're my favourite band, ever. Every single song they release is phenomenal, from Late Goodbye, to False Kings, and now to this, and I've enjoyed listening to each one. Can't wait to get the new album in October.
I got to know them through Max Payne 2 and Alan Wake, and I've been a fan since then.
Except with this song, which doesn't have anything differentiating it from being a generic indie title.
Its like their gift to be for my birthday!
Oh yes, those times, although I discovered them by listening to Carnival of rust (song), I know, played and loved the games to.
POTF music is true poetry on instruments accords.
@Adrian Morales Same here, well I first heard them while playing Alan Wake. I had to find out who the band was after I heard the song in game. I am glad I heard it, been a fan ever since.
Been 5 yrs since I've first listened to this. It still feels equally gut wrenching and freeing at the same time.
Every time I listen to this song reminds me of my mom, and i'll always miss her. She was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer back in August of last year, and suddenly passed a month later.
The Poets still have it. I have fallen in love with them all over again, no matter that they have been my absolute favorite for the last 10 years.
This band is so fricking underrated 🥺 😭
They are literally "Poets" 💜
They are the kinds of band we need in the time where songs like wap make it to the top 🤢
💜 Thank you for yet another beautiful song 🌟 I cut off my long long hair and donated it to the Cancer kids two weeks ago ♥ it's important to me that people talk about this openly... I've lost family members and friends to cancer while some have survived, still going strong and they deserve all the love and care in the world just like everyone else 💜 I love this song 💕 thank you, Potf 🙏
Where can I donate in India?
Wow that was quick!
@@TheYOUANU Enquire in your local parlours and cancer foundations if you can donate. They'll guide you.
@@HM-dm3qg what was quick?
@@TheVampyric , I mean like video came on 6 sept. And you cut your hair. That was quick.
Oh man, I was not prepared for this😭 so beautiful. This band always open my heart. Thank you guys💜
This has moved me to tears. Only these guys could do that to me
Marko had said: Dancing on Broken Glass is about *acceptance and reconciliation* and the director Miika Hakala wonderfully captured the story of the song in a video in dramatic real world setting.
every time i am down and depression is taking over me .. you shoot me in the heart with a miracle ..
thank you for existing
such a happy tune for such a sad story....... or wait, maybe it isn't that sad after all?...... the moment she's looking at herself in the mirror in despair and suddenly changes into a positive feeling tells it all....... live and enjoy the moment folks, none of us know whether we shall be here tomorrow, do we? but we ARE alive here and now...... once again, a beautiful, deep message from these wonderful poets....... and another even deeper message: true love is always much stronger than death.
This is so sad, yet so beautiful... This shows the true meaning of love. The lyrics fully explain what love feels like, and how their feelings for each other always remain : "For eons, all your memories for the moments we shared, never fade away." Massive respect to POTF for crafting this work of art ! Kudos 😁 👍👍
One of the best bands in the world...super vocals music n songs...they deserve way more views!!
How am I just finding this amazing band? Obsessed with the lyrics. So beautiful
Probably because you didn't play Max Payne 2, back when I did. No matter. Glad to have you in the fan club now! :)
@@LaughingMan008 я играл в Alan Wake первую часть, с тех пор я не расстаюсь с этой группой 😊
So I have a theory: As silly as this might sound the very last part of the video makes me wonder if he is the old man from the “Love will come to you” video. Both scenes in black and white and they both are looking off to that same looking river. That aside, yet another very beautiful song and video by the Poets. If I had one wish in life it would be to see you guys live. I would be happy even being in a nose bleed section. Your music can make me cry and be happy or emotional which I don’t get out of any music. My all time favorite band!!!
I could listen to Marko's voice all day. One of the best in music :)
I need to stop cutting these damn onions.
Brilliant song once again.
His voice, his message! Every.single.time!!
Woke up and this is the first video am watching... I got the notification and there is no way I was gonna ignore it
Same happened to me... A life soundtrack. Always.

Ankit tiwari oooo...👌 so it's nice IAM also love this band and the fan of his voice and music ✌ 😎 🎸
thanks poets.... coz of u we still believe in music can be a medicine
My grandma and I didnt always get along,we could really be mean to eachother, but I loved her so much!
She took her life in August because of her cancer. A few days later my favourite band releases this song. I miss her and this song helps me to move on.
Marko's voice always gets into my heart
Amazing song...I wish today's generation paid more attention to something meaningful like this
Agree, if you listen to what the radios dish out, you can't help but wonder, what's wrong with people? Why is this considered music???
Poets of the Fall dont belong to our world,they belong to a world in wich people are more clever in order to understand this kind of music.I consider myself the luckiest man on the earth because i discover this band.♥️♥️POTF♥️♥️
So true!
I love how even if the lyrics don't always make logical 'sense' in their songs, they're still very visual and poignant and tell a story
@@theSheighani42 yes! They are literally Poets
TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU...
Poets of the fall really know how to hit home
Just..... wahouw....
At the beginning I was like "Well.. I hope the entire album won't be like this, I want fucking rock, not nowadays coldplay.." but the clip, omg, I smiled and seing the entire band, it made me appreciate the song and in the end, ow god what a sad surprise...... But now I understand who is the old man with roses in Love Will Come Again to You...😶😥
Holy fuck that seems right
POTF haven't been sounding like the band that we all fell in love with. Even if the music video was good, I had to dislike the video. For the sake of POTF being the band that is different from all others, and not another generic sounding indie band.
BigFry9591 So a band like Poets of the Fall can't have a feel-good album? They can't experiment? You want them to produce the same sound, over, and over, and over again to their potential boredom?
@@BigFry9591 i
I do loved the video. But I honestly hope the songs of the entire album wont be like this one.
+Lauren Richards-Evans NO! Oh, no no no, absolutely not. My problem isn't with their diversity in music.
Allow me to quote another of my posts:
"It's always been so difficult to find a band that sounds anything like them. I've even looked on Google to see, and the closest people say to them are bands like Breaking Benjamin and Linkin Park. But, those bands are nowhere close to sounding like POTF.
But, now..... the music that I've been hearing from you..... it just sounds like generic indie background music. It doesn't seem to hold the same level depth that are abundant in all your previous works."
I enjoy the music video, and the message, but the sound just doesn't hold the same punch. It pains me to say, but this song sounds worse than any of the songs on their Clearview album. Which is my least favorite album, not saying that it's bad.
Are you kidding me? I mean yeah I love it... no no no, adore this video and bam! You got me good and proper straight through the heart, still drying the tears rolling on my cheeks. You beautiful people... this includes ALL involved here... when I thought I'd would not fall for it. And I recognised the pictures of you guys playing in the streets... I mean way before FK... Blown away! I love you
Oh my god, this boy is crying. I absolutely adored the song and video! And this song doesn't seem as “grim“ as False Kings, it feels much more encouraging. God, I can't wait for the new album.
I will cherish the mastery of POTF, no matter which artistic direction they take. It is their band, and their decisions. This group broke more ice in my life, than any other on record. From Cali, USA
Everytime I listen to them I actually learn new vocabularies.
Emotional. I really enjoyed it!
Yes I know. And the album is not out yet.. it's out on 5th October :)
@@geetpatel146 Jay Ray have collaborated with Marko Saaresto and POTF.. He knows better than us buddy..
Umm....Jay Ray.....do a cover of any potf song...on your channnel
Jay Ray (Official Channel) Well you don't have to wait anymore! Hehe :P
Geez, hearing this song and watching the video made me cry, I never had a close one pass away yet but I'm really sensitive.
It might sound stupid but I found your music through the acustic room from Control and ever since I started to see what band made the song, and after that I started listening through all of Ultraviolet.
You guys became my new favorite band.
I feel you bud!!! First heard them when their songs Late Goodbye in Max Payne 2 and War in Alan Wake were featured in those games [The devs from Control (Remedy) also made these two gems!] and it just sent me onto a couple days worth of binging their music over and over again.. I too could say that their music is amazing and that they're my new favorite band too!
If you haven't explored the rest of their discography yet, I recommend their album Twilight Theater from 2010. Personally my most favorite from them, it hooked me right from the start!
Beautiful .... I would dedicate this song to my friend who is currently fighting against a brain tumor. But also, to my Dad party 28 years ago already, and a person dear to my heart, and all those who fight every day and those already gone that will never forget. Thank you for this video that allows us to never forget. Thank you very much, Poets of the fall.
Just discovered this band last week, now going to see them in Prague. Can’t wait.
Очень люблю Poets Of The Fall и очень обидно, что о них мало кто знает. Ведь это шикарная группа с очень хорошими, наполненным смыслом, песни и группа с прекрасным вокалистом, от голоса которого бегут мурашки по телу.
Песня прекрасная, но пока в моем сердечке пьедестал самой любимой песни занимает песня "Carnival of rust".
.

I love Poets Of The Fall very much and it's very sad that many people don't know about them. After all, this is a beautiful band with very good songs, and a band with a wonderful vocalist, whose voice runs down the body.
The song is beautiful, but while in my heart the pedestal of the most beloved song is the song "Carnival of rust".
Thanks for your works.
Ты откуда?)
@@astikfantastic Украина
@@zimnoshka3221 не кажется, что они скатились?) я их сам очень люблю, но...
@@astikfantastic ну не знаю. Последние песни у них классные, особенно False kings, еще и новые будут из этого альбома. И если говорить про этот клип, то даже мама моя сказала, что POTF одни из первых затронули тему рака в песнях, так как других вспомнить не может. Хотя, она может ошибаться. Данная песня хорошая, но она не запоминается сразу. Но мне понравилось. Если False Kings я себе скачала после того как прослушала песню несколько раз, так как с первого раза мне она не зашла, то эту я сразу добавила себе.
@@zimnoshka3221 ну раньше у них рочок был прям, они жгли) а последний альбом слабый. Хоть бы в новом была пара крутых песен
This video is still a kick in the feels.
This made me happy. Incredible music, like everything else this band does!
I am seriously never disappointed in any song I hear from these guys ..I absolutely love this song like I do all their songs..songs that come from real emotions can never be beat
To the people who complain about the new songs "not being rock", do you understand that most of Poets' songs are like this? To me it seems like those who dislike the song have only heard the most popular songs like Lift.
Plus you already have False Kings on the same album, which is a completely different song.
Indeed. The band has always been more on the experimental side of writing. Ever since Signs of Life, they've been mixing and matching their stuff and it makes me very happy that they are sticking to what they do best.
I just hope there will be more prominent guitar and some memorable riffs in the rest of the album. It's not that it's not "rock" but that it feels like it wants to be in the radio for casuals to listen and maybe discover poets. Song is good. But I would be really disappointed if they completely pushed the guitars into the background just for the pop sound. And by the way Olli is very skilled guitarist maybe his track Firefly is way of coping with the band going into that direction that has very little of guitar.
There songs were always equalized and compressed all to hell? There vocals were always pushed back and had less attention? Hell, I don't recall even a single guitar solo in their last album.
Ever since Clearview, there HAS been a decline in their quality. And, as for this new song, it sounds like so generic that it hurts. You could easily turn on the radio and hear something similar. Which, is something that you can't say about their past songs.
@BigFry9591 There hasn't been a decline in quality, you just don't like it. You not liking something doesn't make it bad. The song is perfectly up to their usual quality it's simply a matter that the band wants to aim for a different style with their recent albums just like they always have. They are like a painter who wants to use a different color. And just because someone else may have used that color doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to use it as well.
CeliriaRose thats a not very good comparison
Once again, POTF delivers one hell of a gem.
Magical voice... With supporting team work!!
They never let me down. Every song just gets more beautiful
Lots of love from INDIA...POETS ARE THE BEST.😎🤘🏻
Poets of the Fall is the only one who can make me believe in real love again
Fan from the USA here! Every time I hear a new song from you guys, I am automatically drawn to it, like a moth to the flame. Keep rocking hard guys and I hope one day you all can come to the USA to perform. Poets Fan for Life!
What a beautiful way to start off the day. Fantastic PotF, another masterpiece
that's why you guys are my favourite band
These words, kids, are called LYRICS of a song. A true song.
Wonderful! We love you PotF
The message couldn't have been stronger. Outstanding as usual!
It’s so beautiful... And story.... I’m crying... Thank you for this masterpiece!
Fantastic song. Fantastic video. It makes me cry. Every time.
Guys we NEED you in Mexico, PLEAAASE!!!! You're the best, never disappoint, keep rocking POTF! lml
why is Potf so awesome ? why does every single song feels like it's written thoughtfully?
impeccable lyrics always, and an even better voice of marko boss 😍😍
looking forward to an acoustic version of this
Another great song and a breathtaking video. Love the little nod at Captain's interest in photography.
I can't wait to see you in Paris next March. No more having to go to Germany and book a hotel!
i thought they won't produce more songs but I finally got it...
Poets you are truly pure human beings, this song such as the video clip, are really emotional straight to the heart! Thank you very much for this!
Love you to bits
You're simply amazing.
Ya they r simply amazing
Every song is of more concept and journey.. this song is awesome 👌😍
Hello Poets. I've been your fan since 2003 and I own all your albums. I can't put them in order of what is the best and what is worst, they're all great in their own regard. You have done incredible job with them all. I've been listening to your latest and it's truly great. The 6th track is just perfect. Listening to it I feel like I can die happy with whatever little I have accomplished in my lifetime. The rest of the songs are great too.
It's 7 in the morning, and I'm already sad. Sad but happy at the same time. Listening to great music always makes me emotional. That's the reason I love listening to POTF.
When you get the notification and you stop the car immediately on the side to watch the video. POTF, you never disappoint. 🤩
I was on the Metro and lost the signal as we went under the Potomac River. The screen froze on Jari on the bench. 😁
Another master piece by My Favorite Band!!!...amazing lyrics straight to the heart!!...love you guys a lot!!
I fell in love with this song !! 🎵 So sad there are only a few views 😢 It deserves so many more .
I love the bridge lyrics and vocals of this song.
This song speaks to me on so many levels. Beautiful, simply beautiful. I've been a fan for years, and I will continue to be one even after the band retires. Thumbs up 👍 😁
Waiting for the new album to be released
Each and every word of this song is just beautiful and full of life
Poets never disappoint
:)
Arey squint waale yaha bhi
haan bhai
Respect to you guys for listening to music other than Punjabi music... Every Punjabi here in Canada has Punjabi music at high volumes in their cars, it's really annoying and embarrassing
@@jacobspeeds I never had a knack for modern punjabi music it's just too shallow for me
I have listened to Pink Floyd, indian classical music and rock when I grew up
So my taste is totally different
Fuck yeah. These are the songs worth crying over. Thank you, guys.
I'm addicted to this song
POTF is the best!
I like the song but this band rarely releases their best songs as singles so my hopes remain quite high for a killer track!
Call me mad, but POTF is one amongst the greatest rock bands of all time, they are majestic. Much love 😍🙏, beautiful as always
Thanks for everything Poets Of The Fall.
Thank you Universe for Poets of the Fall, they soothe me, lift me, raise my vibration and spirits 💜 Marko's voice is pure joy, I will see them live one day 🙏😇🌹😍
The sound that came out of my mouth when I got the notification wasn't human.
My mother might think I'm possessed.
Breath of fresh air.
Woke up to this notification on google. Looks like they have changed something.
This was a surprise for me to find this morning! I love it!
Best band, hands down! Amazing lyrics, as usual.
As much as I love Poets of the fall, this song is so like German Schlager, I fear this is the first song I cannot listen to like a million times a day... -.-
Beautiful
The voice. 🙂 Amazing as always.
Poets of the Fall never disappoints us ❤️
