  • No band has ever shocked me with such strong music and awesome performance! LOVE YOU POTF!!!!

  • OpethZita +2 | scaryjimi -4

  • Kyl ne suomalaaset vaa osaa ^^

  • It's not playback. Watch for example the beginning of the video - he speaks and the video comes a little bit after his voice.

  • so the very last note of the guitar solo, is an open string whammy bar dive. the dudes got a floating bridge but no bar. explain?

  • @wrath0x no it's not actually.. he's just playing notes to the e string.. look's still like you are playing guitar like me do ;)

  • playback !! LOL :D

  • Love to hear this song..... Love u Guys..... :)

  • Did you come here to hear the studio version of Lift? If so listen to the studio version of Lift. Poets Of The Fall do not lip-sync to the studio version of their songs like these pop rock posers, they preform they live and raw just like they should be preformed.

  • POETS OF THE FALL RULAA!!!!! :D

  • About this playback-discussion, it's been a well-known fact that these "Elämä lapselle" -concerts are playback. Just like many other this kind of concerts with various artists. Simply because otherwise they would use much time to get the equipment ready for next performer. This one is not an "album-version" as everyone can hear, but it's still playback. And it's not POTF's "fault" or their own decision. 'Cos they're just awesome when they play live - without playback.

  • @Soyalecitin Yep, a recorded live peformance

  • MY GOD MARKO IS AMAZING!

  • i was beginning to think id never find a good live video of these guys it seems the singing is always off but its perfect this time im well impressed it sounds as good as it did on the cd

  • It's not playback they are just good live

  • The sound and the movement doesn't work together because of the video, not because it is playback. I promise you that this is the live version.

    1:st, I was there.

    2:nd, many parts isn't even the same as on the album track.

    3:rd, they ARE amazing live. That is also proven since many people think that this is playback., which is WRONG!

  • Whoever says that this is a playback...Go F*** urslf...!!!!!!!!!

    Why r u not ready to accept the fact that PotF is the best band to do any F***ing live performance

    Even ZI'm a Rock/Heavy Rock listene...But I love PotF...And I appreciate 'em.....

  • playback! her is orginal live prefromanc Poets of the Fall's concert in Emma Gaala - Lift Lasake

  • Everyone listen to the ending of the song,marko delays some parts of the song,and no second voice is heard

  • Listen at 0:48 when he is saying: 'fraid that what I'll say comes out...

    Then listen to the official video's version of it: It's different, he slurs it slightly here. Ta-da - argument over; they are awesome live period.

  • What a fucking dorks. This isn't playback. Studio version is littlebit different. And yes, they are awesome live performers.

  • playback sure

  • THIS ISN'T PLAYBACK!

  • It's a shame that most people overlook this band and go for your typical Linkin Park, Korn, Metallica, Green Day or the degrading shitty Emo bands...Poets of the Fall is underatted and they deserve to be recognized all over the world. They work so hard to make awesome music, and it's just overlooked...it's a shame, each of their songs are just Masterpieces.

  • guess what? i have a boner

  • I would have to guess that the vocal performance is what is a playback but at least you can tell it's not straight from the song itself . probably was recorded for a live setup.

  • auccc playback ;<

  • Who cares its Playback, this sonG still Rocks =)

  • Wow, now thats what I call playback on lyrics :p

  • why the prisoner outfit ?

  • Watch their music video for the song. It'll make more sense then.

  • i was just wondering about the same thing xD

  • Watch the Official Video for this song and you´ll realise. ;-)

  • yeah now i understand :)

  • JOS tää kerta ei oo playbackina (ei tää ainakaan kuulosta samalta ku videossa) niin toi laulaa helvetin hyvin!

  • What an amazing performance - I wish they would come to the UK - we are lucky that there is loads of great live poets stuff on youtube :)

  • This makes them one of the very few bands that actually sounds good live.

  • And when I thought I couldn't possibly love them more....

    Poets of the Fall are just in a league of their own. Wow, simply wow. LOVE and ADORE this!!

  • woah these guys are frkin badass when they're live.

  • What?! This band is AMAZING!!! Have you ever seen any of their other live videos? The lead singer is a fucking vocal genius <3

  • Playback??? Are you mad?? It´s video lag!! This band is amazing!!

  • @OpethZita I'm affraid it really is playback.

  • @haisevaewok yup definetly playback. But it was "live" at one point so its still good. Theres only one vid on youtube of them not singing playback and thats poet of the fall's concert in Emma Gaala-lift.

  • @MajorMustang1117 oh and them playing songs from their new album

  • Los amo!

  • That's just video lag, they're not going to record the song a second time and in a different way just to perform it playbacked on a cancert.

    PS: I'm saying this to the people who do care about poets, i'm disregarding the bored morons who just want to spam pointless comments.

  • Näyttäs et kuva vaan tulee jälessä, ei välttämättä playback.

  • looool 4:04 playback ftw :DD

  • It certainly seems that way but I think the more telling parts are when says he's jumping from the drum platform and holds a sustained note perfectly even at the landing...but I dont think it's playback, they've got some modeling or processing going through his voice during the song portions...that's why it sounds different at the end as well...most bands do this live.

  • yeah, it sounds quite similar to the video ...

    but it ISN'T playback!

    there ARE differences between the cd version and this version!

    just hear at 2:40 - 2:45 and then hear it in the official video oO

    it is different, isn't it? ;D

    a very very very awesome song.

    one of my all-time-faves :]

  • Wow it sounds just like in the video o.o

  • Yeah. It is.

  • 4:03...It is playback...but whateva!! :)

  • POTFTW

  • Awesome guitar solo!

  • its not playback... if u listen to their original song from album and this u will hear he changes his voice alot in some places

  • Just look his mouth at 4:03, it's playback.

  • SO FUCKING AMAZING OMG!!!!! so good live its crazy

  • thats not playback

  • This song is one of the best

  • damn, i wish they would play here in the UK

  • Playback sux

  • this isn't playback

  • It is

  • ya I noticed now

  • Comment removed

  • Definitely playback. The one at Emma Gaala however isn't. Theres a definiete difference in his voice.

    But thats not to say I don't enjoy listening to this, but I would have been a bit disapointed if I'd of actually gone and heard this 'live'

  • Best song ever.

  • PotF FTW : D I love the solo and ofc the whole song ! : D :D

  • 1:58 XD

  • I love PotF, but I have to admit this is playback.

    Just look at 4:03 and you'll see.

    It's not the album version of course, it's very different, but it is a pre-recorded sound nonetheless...

    Anyway, this doesn't make a difference, they are still a great band, and I still love them. :D

  • at 3:56 I think the guitarist proves he can take on those guys from dragonforce any day.

  • its definately not a playback..its slightly different from the original..maiden concerts are AMAZING thats the perfect example for running and singing

  • you can hear live perfomance in: Poets of the Fall's concert in Emma Gaala - Lift

    that is true live

  • nonono guys that IS a playback. trust me, it is impossible to be running like that and be singing so well at the same time. Marko's not a terminator I guess o_O he surely would be suffocating. and, what's more, when he's trying to shout smth at 4:40 , it is clearly can be heard, that Marko sounds worse and much more worse than when he was "singing".

    but still, PotF are rly good. even with those playbacks.

  • Its no playback.... I take it you've never been to a maiden conscert, now theres running and singing in every damn song.

  • Comment removed

  • like nearly every other music vid, the visuals here are synced.

  • great. I come back and it's on a live performance instead of the publisher's official music vid. either way, this one looks like a britney concert.

  • Comment removed

  • I read somewhere, that he was an exchange student in great Britain, or somethin' of the sort, not too sure. /shrug, either way thats probably why he speaks fluent English.

  • I wonder if he lived in an English speaking country. Or does everyone speak perfect English in Finland? :)

  • It depends on what you call perfect. Finland is officially a bilingual country, Finnish and Swedish being the official languages. There is not much use for Swedis here, since those whose mother tongue it is, can usually speak Finnish fluently. Almost everybody, however, studies English and use it often if not every day. It's relatively safer to assume that everyone under 60 can speak, write, and uderstand English rather than do that in Swedish. Ppl over 60 speak German better.

  • The question is though, why does he choose to sing in English ?

  • because in this way everyone could understand their music and the message their sending through it...easy:P

  • as a finnish guy its no surpriset that potf is also one of my favorite bands. their best tracks imo are: -lift -late goodbye -illusion & dream -carnival of rust -the way/4u -revolution roulette -miss impossible this "live"-gig is playback, its a bit stupid to claim anything else. anyways, looking forward to hear some more awesome tracks from these dudes! wish they make more the beautifull stuff where they are best at, not the hard/heavy stuff into which marko's voice isnt cabable of.
  • its realy good song...yeahhhhh

  • I really wish i was there:(:(:(:(:(

  • I LOVE POETS OF THE FALL!!! I'm italian and I pay all the gold of the world to see them live!!!

    MARKO SAARESTO YOU HAVE THE BEST VOICE EVER LISTEN!!!

    Peace&Love

  • Oddly enough, I think I was one of the few outside of Finland to hear of them without Max Payne XD. It was Bill & Ted set to 'Lift'. Been a fan ever since. I wish they'd come to scotland, fucking class music they produce and they'd get a good crowd I feel! Keep up the good work!

  • Me too. A friend showed me "locking up the sun". Oh how i loved that.

  • I saw it while surfing allmusic. I got hooked. ^_^ America here, so meh.

  • this is like the best!!!

    tht singer is gr8!! heads off

    luv u potf

  • lepiej brzmi niż w oryginale

  • I first heard this song (and band) on 3D Mark 06 on the credits, and wow!

    That guitar solo is just amazing at the end, haha, the way his fingers jump up and down the fret board, and with his arm flying up in the air on a quick gap. Fantastic :D

  • same here. i was really impressed. had this song by the end of the day. good song to cruise to at night

  • i didn't know this song was played with delay

  • great song, I wish I were there

  • MAN. as good as they are on the recorded track, they are so much better live.

  • dude its poets of da fallll. MAX RESPECT BRO!!!!!AMAZIN musicians

  • This is live, I have heard the album version ~250 times and there are some subtle discrepancies. Just tells you how good the band is live.

  • it's one of the best songs i know but i think he playbacked. otherwise he is so great live.

  • This sounds way too good to be live

  • great song !! =)

  • OK....keep talking...

  • just because its an amazing performance doesnt mean its fake or playback. this is wayyy different to the album version as well.

  • Check out the Emma Galla video, too... I think it's brand new or something, but they perform it LIVE. You can totally tell on that one.

  • but damn! how cares????

    they still rock and I´m satisfied just to SEE them live, i dont even give a fuck if it is playback or not cause its the best band ever!!!!

  • wtf o.o!

    imagine that it is a playback of the music, still the voice of marko is different, so he's singing, so his voice rlz =D!

  • Just take a look at the guitarman at his solo...he makes something with his guitar to make it looks like he plays solo...but he isnt...its ♫ playback ♫

  • he's playing, the sound is just off from the video a little bit

  • : D....no man...its called PlayBack...: D

  • best song.guitar is played very well.the scale changing is great

  • This for sure isnt Live...take a look on 2:47....its impossible to jump and sing as nothing happenned...it must be playback..but...i LOVe this song : )

  • May there be any delay on the video??Since the sound doesn't fit absolutely. Just a little comment, please forgive if i was wrong

  • i do believe it's live... trust me..i can compare rly good the original with this since i just listened it 9 times X_X... plus... as lucas said... the sound doesn't fir absolutely >_> and trust me..there are singers who can play clowns -.- but they still can sing good :P

  • It's breath control. You can sing and dance and jump just fine if you know when and how to breath.

  • he landed while almost finishing a note. It wouldve been so subtle that you just cant hear it.

  • Wow ! The normal version of this song is good, but there are more basses in this one and it is better...

    Awesome song.

  • they're on an island in the middle of a huge bowl of people. The guitarists keep shifting, and Mark's basically running laps around the huge thing trying to keep everything together. It's interesting to watch them fill the space and engage the whole crowd.

  • he has so fucking awsome voice!! ^^; sounds so amazing..

  • MELHORRR BANDA DA FINLÂNDIA!! ;D

    MUITO LOUCO!!

    [Just Brazilians understand!! xD]

  • AWESOME SOLO! AWESOME SONG! AWESOME BAND! yeah :H xD!

    emm... the voice of marko is exactly the same as the song... It's amazing!!! Best singer :D

  • ok....this sounds exactly like the music video!!! amazing band!!! BEST SINGER!!

  • Mä OLIN tuolla! Mä näin ne livenä! Ja hyvin ne vetikin! =D

  • these guys need to come to the states. that song alone would be worth a ticket!. i mod computers and airbrush them and have this playing on one while at a pc show. and i could listen to it all day!!!!

  • Iha helvetin hyvä livenäkin!!!

  • Lol!  Teddy Bears & Bananas! Such a cool song!

  • Lol Teddy Bears Thats Sweet

  • Absolutly amazing band. i love these guys. they are so awesome live.

  • on kyllä nii hyvä ku ei kuulosta edes livelt

    POETS OF FALL RULES

  • Also, if this video were a montage, (and trust me, I held my suspicions...) somehow, they manage to make the audience audible despite the song. They couldn't eliminate the song from the audio yet keep the audience in there, and if they played the song over the audience, you'd hear two times the song played over each other.

    In such a case, if they got off tempo or out of sync AT ALL, you'd be able to tell.

  • awesum comment

  • Ei kuulosta edes liveltä tai sitten noi on vaan niin helvetin hyviä mitä en jaksa uskoa ku on tullu noita muitaki katottua

  • this is live!!

    soo great... his voice is amazing

  • You are so right..outstanding mesmerizing riff, full background washover and memorable guitar solo...new group from Helsinki, Finland formed 2003. What's with the orange suits?

  • U Seen The Video For This Song?

    They Are In A Prison And They Got Them Suits On

  • This may well be one of the best songs I've ever heard. Really, it probably is...

    It's not even that TYPE of song I listen to! It's just so freaking magnetic... Holy shit, that's one talented guitarist, too!

  • Now...I am only thiking about if John Frusciante can make that guitar solo too....

  • And besides most bands these days have no tallent and some singers only

  • c00L...the best singed concert i ever saw...

  • c00L...the best singed concert i ever saw...

  • See the "Poets of the Fall - Sorry Go Round live" video and you guys will see how Mark sings live.

  • yeah, this ain't live, i'm not even sure if guitars are played live...

  • Ít´s a live performance!Listen closely the Cd and this rendition and you´ll realize it´s a very different performance: they are both superb.POTF are an amazing band,they can bring onstage what they play in the studio.They are proficient musicians.This song is a must wich deserve a place in any serious record collection

  • 100% playback, look how he sings from 2:25 :/

  • only that ending part seems to be really live...

  • Also his voice sounds extremely different when he sings and when he speaks.

    But i don't care it's play back. I know they are extremely talented and theyr songs are fantastic.

  • I hoped it was live, but i noticed that the guy with the blue stratocaster wasn't plugged and didn't have a wireless device connected to it either 3:10

  • live... and so good ! how can somebody sing like that ?!?

  • Yeah its live..they band is just very precised and its mixed REALLY WELL...And Marc speaks pretty good english considering it isnt his first language. POTF Rocks!!!!!

  • It is live!!!! It is not sound like record! Did you hear how he played with his voice? Did you hear the same on the record? NO! It IS LIVE!!!

  • theres different facts to both sides if its playback or live. i honestly think its live because marc has a great voice, but who cares? POTF is one of the best bands and everyone that says its playback still think that its a good band..so who cares

  • the vids just out of sync i think it is live

  • No... No, I'm sorry. No band is THAT GOOD live! No heavy breathing, or out-of-tune at all? Play back for sure

  • Several bands are THAT GOOD, just none you listen to. LORDI, NIGHTWISH, LACUNA COIL, EPICA, KAMELOT. Take your pick. Seen them all live and they ARE THAT GOOD.

  • Oh no, I know that there are alot of bands that sing amazing live, but to me, it kinda looks like it's playback. Nightwish are awesome live, but (when Tarja was still in the band) She would run out of breath and stuff and I can't really tell with this performance.

  • Tarja is not a real good example. Her voice was very operatic and required exertion on her part which would definitely cause shortness of breath. Anette sounds just as good live as on the album. Poets are the same way. The differences in pitch and rythm on this version as compared to the original are indicative that this is definitely live. Logic takes a vacation for those who believe any band would record a different version and use it as playback. Poets kick ass.

  • Well i agree but well magic hapens

  • this isnt played live, but it also isnt the original, they just recorded it for 'live' versions such as this.

  • oh man!! this is live, and its great!!

  • looks like playback... NO! :(

  • kuka oot ???

  • Hi!What The Feeling!It really Thrills!Please Enjoy of It!You are Wellcome Poets Of The Fall!Ten Points.Thanks A Lot.

  • ya at 1:09 he is lip synching..but idc this is still my favorite song and they still are one of favorite bands

  • I will concede that there are a few differences: 1. He says "disappear" differently at 1:09, 2: He says "Leave" in "Leave my way like there's nothing wrong" a tad differently, and 3: intro to refrain is slightly different.

    When he talks at the end though, it sounds totally different than what he just sang. Question: why does this "live" version sound so completely different than every other Lift PoTF has sung live?

  • OK, I'm a huge PoTF fan, but I must say this is suspicious w/respect to lip synching. Not only is the song played at exactly the same tempo/key as the studio version (and the instruments sound almost exactly the same), but you can play them side by side and see that they sound very simliar.

  • they sound great live!...but must say...mark's lip synching...its so obvious...at 1:09 and towards the end

  • Even live its good, but yeah to add on what to some said he add some accent into his voice compared to the video.

  • Nice song, but its poor PLAYBACK

  • Seems live, some pronunciation differences and voice imperfections. Good song either way.

  • im not pissing people off. but i think its not live. if you notice his moves with his mouth and so on.. but hes gud

  • Well i cant say that they are using a playback but i cant say they arent.Everything is possible

  • Fantastic live performance!

    It differs much from studio version, everyone who says this is fake/playback.. Go hang yourself.

  • it's real...believe it

  • this is live. marco has just a kickass voice. evryone that thinks this is playback, stop pissing people off and shutup. this is live

  • This is unfortunatelly playback, alot is possible with microphones, compressors and limiters, but you just can't jump around and sing as perfect as that. Only his comment @ 3:46 was real. Did you notice the pitch change in the voice? My, my...
