  • The poets are fucking awsome! and the game and it's storu is awsome aswell!

  • Why are the other part of related videos in no way related to this music or Game?

  • first time i played through the game i completely missed the sone and missed this entire plot point.

  • I think the way this song can be a bit of a spoiler is because I actually think the Anderson brothers also made a heavy impact on this story, their moonshines secret was unfiltered water from the lake, and they were artists too, and wrote these songs. And in one manuscript page with the patients escaping the lodge, it says that they had fought these shades before.

  • as soon as I heard this song at the end of episode 'truth', I went crazy mad...cause I heard the lyrics from the record player at the andersons house and thought 'you gotta be shittin me, POTF in the game? EPIC win!' and then when the episode ended, the song started...awesome Alan Wake, and even MORE awesome Poets of the Fall :D

  • alan wake is great game with great soundtracks... i mean i dont listen to stuff like this but this fits perfect !

  • sounds like the same people who made "Late Goodbye" from Max Payne 2 :) it's awesome!

  • @lagoni it is, it is poets of the fall, unless you're just playing with me. its made to tell the story of thomas zane

  • I love the lyrics are about the story of the game.

  • @SzFeri82 I don't get it...was this song made for Alan Wake, or did the creators just use the song for the game? Because the lyrics fit perfectly in the story...

  • @jappie96 It was made for the game.

  • AWESOME GAME WITH AWESOME SONGS!!!

  • палец вверх, если из группы мэда

  • Хорошая песня.

  • those 21 are too afraid to watch/play/listen anything related to Alan Wake

  • this song, after closer inspection, more or less, tells the story of the game in a pretty nut shell... that is why there should be "spoiler alert" next to the name of this song

    on a side note, i just love how this song dies out and gives the illusion the ending, and then you are hit with that awesome solo

  • @yourfilmindustry It's more about Tom's story, and if you heard it on the game you already know pretty much everything that happened to him in this song.

  • @yourfilmindustry it doesnt tell the story of the game. it tells the story of "the poet and the muse" Thomas Zane and Barbara Jagger. Which is more of a prequel to the subtext of the game. Not the story of the actual game itself.

  • @Relithraxas How does that then explain the lady of the light part then?

  • @Sourceified Spoilers* :3

  • When the episode ended it felt awesome. Reminded me of Supernatural TV Series.

  • AWESOME SONG :X :X :X: :XX:

  • It COULD be Alan wake 2 by a different name

  • It's so awesome this game tries to tell the story with so many forms of art - books, TV, songs and even some paintings!

  • thanks for the links

    

  • i was brought here by ponies, try and figure that out, i dare you!

  • @tothemaxxo5 Spike and Twilight Sparkle HA!!!

  • @SpiritTheWolf1 ohhhh so close but no cigar. it was a fan fiction about the rapture and the bronies went to equestria. and one of the bronies played this song on a guitar to himself unaware that twilight and her fiance (the first brony to show up and the main character of the story) were watching him because was normally a fun loving prankster, but was acting a bit off.

  • @tothemaxxo5 he was

  • @tothemaxxo5 robot chicken apocalypse ponies?

  • 3:00 onwards is seriously epic.

  • @Kuszh The way I interpret it is that the Old Gods of Asgard wrote this song in the 60s (in the game universe) which means that they wrote Thomas Zane into existence, and he then wrote Alan Wake into existence.

  • @FlyToOblivion I always thought alan wrote tom. That's why in his dreams, he speaks with the voice of alex casey. They are both Wake's creations.

    But during the tornado sequence we hear him and a young barbara jagger with wake and alice's voices. So wake writes zane based on himself, and zane writes alan. They kindof give birth to each other...or something.

  • @RXdash78 So it's like a fiction within a fiction? That's deep.

  • @FlyToOblivion just like inception

  • One does not dislike Poets of the Fall

  • @Kuszh I think you're right. The whole thing is probably all a story he wrote.

  • I think Thomas Zane is the only real character in this series.

  • @Kuszh I never thought about that.. could you explain me ,why you think so? 

  • @MrJoonasxD In the surreality that Bright Falls exists in, I think if you apply Inception-like logic of subverted realities to the story it is almost as if Thomas Zane wrote himself into a story about a character who writes himself into his own stories to alter reality. Particularly (if you step back and look at it) because Zane and the "darkness" are the only ones who alter the course of Alan Wake's progression through Bright Falls. A story within a story- inception, just food for thought.

  • @Kuszh After a long time with translating this into german i think i got what you said ,and man .. this sounds good... befor i read your post ,i never thought ,that Thomas Zane could be the author of Alan's story.. this sounds interesting . i think i have to play the game once again ,to look for sign's that can prove this theory . Thank you :)

    hope you can understand my english ;)

  • @Kuszh That's possibly the best explanation. According to the book (Which I have read more recently than playing the game) Thomas Zane wrote his poems first, then the Anderson Brothers came to the lake in the 70s after Diver's Isle sunk to the bottom. Alan came by in the early 2000s...Zane wrote at least part of Alan's reality when he created the Clicker and Alan's father being absent from his childhood...then wrote himself out of existence to try and rescue Barbara.

  • @FlyToOblivion right, I'll have to pick up the book. Interesting analysis, Zane keeps such an outside presence in Alan's world playing the part of a "spaceman", he makes Alan an alter ego of himself in a sense.

  • Well, this is now one of the most beautiful songs I know. I just love the lyrics and music, and Marko's voice is so awesome.

    I read some comments and someone said this is Poets of the Fall's song. No it's not, but Old Gods of Asgard is POTF's "other band" in a way. Can't explain it well.

  • @Bllueberr135 I think what you're trying to say is that Poets of the Fall sung this song for the Alan Wake soundtrack, but sung it posing as the Anderson Brothers' Band : The Old Gods of Asgard ? :)

  • @Platform9n3quarters Yes, that's what I meant, thanks! :) I'm just learning English (guess you noticed that?) so it's hard to put some things in words.

  • this game was like a movie......THE BEST ACTION/HORROR THRILLER IVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!

  • I love this song omg I love it. This game is amazing.

  • Comment removed

  • 18 peapol dont licke music

  • @scruffled true but I like how alot of games have books for them, it gives a different representation than the game gives.

  • Lol So much hate in these comments. Lol @ the 'books are for fags' winner.

  • So Alan Wake 1 a Stephan king inspired adventure, Alan Wake American Nightmare a Quentin Tarantino inspired action game...............Great.

    

  • @HeadRobo What the heck is that supposed to mean? Tarantino has made some of the best movies ever.

  • @Blusteryeel I don't think he's bashing Tarantino. I think he's just worried that the plot of Alan Wake will fall to the wayside.

    I can't say I blame him. I'm a little worried too. Personally, Remedy has yet to prove to me that they're capable developers, and I'm a little worried.

  • @SamuelElPesado Really? I personally loved the crap out of the two Max Paynes. Some of the finest narratives in games I've seen. I guess Alan Wake wasn't exactly the same in the level of quality.

    From just Alan Wake, I suppose that's a reasonable opinion.

  • seriously one needs to hear everyone of Poets of the Falls songs to understand what an awesome band they are.!!

  • @vinitpatel0510 Poets of the Fall is a great band, but this isn`t them.

  • @SyntheticSoul2000 Yes, it is. They just took the alias Old Gods of Asgard for the game. Look it up anywhere if you don't believe me.

  • @Bek359 Just checked it out myself and your absolutely right. I like them even more now. You learn something new everyday.

  • @SyntheticSoul2000 Hey buddy its the song of Poets only, just the game dubs them as Old Gods of the Asgard :)

  • @vinitpatel0510 I can NOT understand how they are so underrated :(

  • Database entry for PC version of Alan Wake has been added today into Steam! Rejoice! Soon PC players will get the chance to find the lady of the light.

  • @fDieHard I hope Remedy is ready to expect that most PC gamers will illegally download. I feel bad for them. PC gamers are pure trash.

  • 333777th viewer... lol

  • Alan, wake up!

  • EPIC

  • I heard theres a second one on the way, Hell ya!!!!!!!!!

  • @HeavyMetalLover6661 Yes, American nightmare.

  • @MrHanz3n That's not Alan Wake 2 though, it's sort of a filler to give the fans something to play until Alan Wake 2

  • @GuardianSlant Just getting me more excited for Alan Wake 2, even though I don't like the fact that American Nightmare isn't very story driven but aaaahhhhhh well :-)

  • @HeavyMetalLover6661 The ending of the first game made me cry just because it ended.

  • @HeavyMetalLover6661 Unfortunately the end dropped a nice tragic ending for a kind of cheap move to allow a sequel. Wish they hadn't done that, but the promise of a sequel is hard to ignore right?

  • I suck at guitar and sining but I have to learn this song. LOVE IT :)

  • seriously, did they write this specifically for the game.

  • @Konform2zoidberg Yes they did. Also Children of the Elder God. Poets rock.

  • @Konform2zoidberg

    They did.

    In Nightmare you can find the lyrics for it as well, which are very important, since the song tells the entire story of Tom and Barbara.

    I don't even want to imagine what Zane must have felt when he realised everything was his fault and he had to do this to Barbara.

  • I know....I couldn't....

    BUT I COULD

  • Barbra Jagger ,Thomas Zane, Cauldron Lake, Cynthia Weaver....and to some extent....the dark presence is being discussed in this awesome some

  • Ok, for all the people who have replied to my comment, you can order it from any book store or amazon. And the only difference between the game and the book are some small tweeks in the story like at the emd were he uses one flare from the flare gun on the darkness tornado, and there's an epolouge for what happened after he's says "it's not a lake, it's an ocean" at the end of the game

    I do not really remember were u got it, but it's a good buy:D

  • @haloman2814 the book was writen to bring hype to the game but what would have been great if it was actualy titled as departure and writen undo the pseudonym of alan wake would buy it but if its just explaining events of the game maybe in the future when my memory gets fuzzy

  • I loved this song in the game, and I loved the game,(Beat it in like three days because i liked it so much ) but i must say, just beating it today, after all of the darkness and story i was disappointed with the ending :(

  • all hail 750p !! <3

  • Excuse me everyone, I need to go to the power plant.

  • It's not a lake...

    It's an OCEAN!

  • @mdbm11 Worst ending ever.

  • @StreetSoldier88 Lol, u haven´t played a lot of games, have u? The ending is not bad, it´s just confusing and u can interpret a lot to it. I didn´t get the ending either but it´s definitely not the worst ending ever. The only bad thing bout it was that it was a cliffhanger...

  • @MyFriendTheBeat You're an idiot, the ending is terrible. What does the amount of games I've played (probably a lot more than you) have to do with my judgement on the quality of a story?

  • @StreetSoldier88 Cause if u would have played u wouldn´t think it´s the worst ending ever. Of course, that is your oppinion but to be honest I think u just think so cause u didn´t understand it. I didn´t understand it too but then I read some interpretations which actually make sense and after reading that I liked the ending much more. So maybe u should also read those interpretations. Didn´t want to offend u with my last comment ;)

  • @MyFriendTheBeat I agree with you. Personally i think the ending is by far one of the best parts of the game. Leaving it up to you to interpretate and try putting the pieces together. Really well written. I dare even say that Alan Wake has one of the best story in games ever.

  • @TheAESolid Protip: It was sequel bait. Not an artsy "Up to interpretation" thing.

  • rumor is true, but it wont be a "sequel" which i kinda understand (it would ruin the current ending to explain it), but it is to be something of a prequel, hopefully about thomas zane (the man described in this song, for those who didnt play the game). Oh, and if you havent played alan wake: what the fuck are you waiting for?

  • One of the Best Games i´ve ever Played, in tis Game is all right Music, Story, Graphics, when think about it i can cry about enjoying it.

    Thanks Remedy for Masterpiece.

    I hope the second Game also good.

  • I am awake.....

  • A Wake...

  • Amazing game. play it every now and then just because. Soundtracks havnt been this good since the older Silent Hill series. i hear word that theyre making a sequel...is this true, or just rumor?? Cuz Alan Wake 2 would be great<3

  • @Sn1cK3Rs1 its true it will be available on xbox live arcade

  • @Sn1cK3Rs1 heard the same rumor man hope it becomes reality

  • A french game...

    I'm so proud to be french.

  • @deathzexion Its a Finnish game. Remedy is in Espoo Finland.

  • @habsman1611

    Yes, I don't know where did I heard that it was a french game.

  • @deathzexion Its cool still an awsome game.

  • This song is beyond beauty.It is a shame tough,that the band is not as famous as it should be,because Poets of The Fall is,to me,the best band alive.

  • @MrMasterShepard nick cave and the bad seeds man

  • this is actually the only game ive completed to x-box and it is on of the best games ever!

  • @TheMaidenTribute

    Same here^^

  • @habsman1611 it's Alan wake

  • This song is making me cry.

  • There are 26 manuscript pages at the end of the chapters

  • thumbs up if you bought the book :D

  • @haloman2814 what is the book called?

  • @RGTV32 Alan Wake

    Obviously

  • @haloman2814 THERES A BOOK! Please tell me its called Departure.

  • @haloman2814 IS THERE A BOOK? :D Does it have a better ending than the game? :/

  • @DavidHelldrummer The game´s ending was awesome. Leaving it up to you to try and put the pieces together til the next one comes around.

  • @haloman2814 Do you know where can i get it? i live in mexico, exactly at mexico city but where did you get it? so i can look for it here, please tell me, i love the story

  • @haloman2814 Wait, they wrote the book for the game?! Departure exists?! Woot!

  • @haloman2814 there is a book?

  • @haloman2814 where could you buy it i thought it only came with the collectors edition :O cuz id reallyyyy like to read it (huge fan)

  • @haloman2814 theres a book??

  • @haloman2814 Going to start reading it soon.

    Can't wait for their new game! Arcade or not, can't wait!

  • @haloman2814 Books are for fags

  • @thetocotaco Wrong! Books are for those intelligent enough to read them.

  • @Ithinkiamemo22 I started hating books when my teacher made us read some really crappy ones and i had to read them all night long just to get them done.

  • @thetocotaco Well, I can understand that. Teachers suck.

  • @haloman2814 THERE'S A BOOK?

  • @haloman2814 it wasnt as good though ( to be honest the strategy guide was a way better story then the book)

  • One of the best Game-Soundtracks I ever heared !

  • Great stuff mate, thanks for the upload!

  • i knew i would got to have this song in the end of episode 4

  • old gods of asgard was a real metal band

  • The game itself is rather meh, but the story could easily have stood up on its own as a novel. Hell, it even has an ideal novel title too.

  • These guys are really good! I didnt know there name and so i went through the entire game again to find that one stupid radio that played "war by poets of the fall" and im glad i found it. These guys are one of my favs:)

  • loved the game and loved the songs :)

  • MrEpic100 -areed.

  • Regardless, you need to give the ACTUAL musicians credit.

  • This has incorrect information. The song is NOT by Old Gods of Asgard, it is by Poets of the Fall.

  • @Lobo5711 Old Gods of Asgard are the band in the game Poets of the Fall wrote and preformed this song for the game aslo Old Gods of Asgard sounds cooler.

  • @Lobo5711 It is by Old Gods of Asgard. That is the ingame Pseudonim for Poets of the Fall. See it like a side project for the game.

  • How come this isn't included on the Alan Wake soundtrack? :(

  • I have no idea why because this is not my type of music...

    Poets of the Fall = Best band ever

    Alan Wake = Best Horror and Best Singleplayer game

  • @MrEpic100 Is it horror? Or is it more of a thriller? Sure I was scared stiff at some points but I mean its not really survival horror...

  • @TheBiggamer64 Whatever, it's just a great game.

  • @TheBiggamer64 A lot of people criticize say that the game is not scary enough when It's not really even meant to be all that scary. It's a thriller game, definitely not survival horror, the story is the games most important aspect

  • @HaistaPaska92 Agreed! It's not horror. It has atmosphere and a GREAT story :)

  • I just "prt sc" the top comments and uploaded them to my facebook. that was the first time i've ever done that. they deserved every thumb-up they got.XD

  • I love this game, it was good and im looking forward to the next one

  • This soundtrack is amazing for this game.. Soo good game.

  • so... i kinda wanna buy this game JUST for the soundtrack...

    xD <3

  • @SilverBeauty13 You really should get it if you have a system that can play it. To avoid spoilers just let me say when they play Children of the Elder God....that scene is worth the price of admission AND is my favorite few minutes in gaming

  • 16 people are addicted to their WII

  • God why cant games and their soundtracks be as awesome as this one?

  • of the most beautiful games Xbox exclusive

  • @sarvihaara IM WITH YOU.

  • Thanks God for giving us a good band and a good singer!!

  • <3

  • Do they hav this song on iTunes?

  • This song s so great, I had to learn it emidietly on guitar after I heard it after Episode Four :D

  • Hello ladies. Look at your novel, now back to mine, now back to yours, now back to mine. Sadly it isn't mine, but if you stop using so many metaphors and start using Barbara Jagger as your editor it could look like my novel. Look down. Back up. Where are you? You're on Cauldron Lake fighting a tornado. What's in your hand? I have it. It's the clicker given to you by your father! Look again, THE CLICKER IS NOW A FLASHLIGHT! Anything is possible when you're a writer. I'm on a typewriter.

  • @terrorxxxnight You just made my day >.<

    

  • @terrorxxxnight I think I may be in love with you.

  • @GuardMarcellus sorry but i'm taken...wish i could help you though =3

  • @terrorxxxnight Wasn't it his mother? Besides that, LOL AWESOME

  • @PercussivexFomors I don't remember anything about anyone in the game being Alan's mother but...it could be I guess...

  • @terrorxxxnight ...that might be the best thing I've ever read.

  • @terrorxxxnight FTW!!!
