It's been over 10 years since I discovered POTF and I still get chills. Never stop. You are incredible.

[acquazzur]

You know, Marko? Whenever I feel down and lose hope, I just feel the urge to listen to your voice and I get back my inner peace and start feeling positive again... Yes, your voice does this.... it's magical, soothing and healing.

[sagarmehra]

Life isn’t easy. But Poets make it worthwhile sticking around.

As someone who suffers from depression and has dealt with suicidal thoughts, this is a song that immediately made me cry upon hearing it for the first time and I had no idea why. Songs like this one, "Cradled In Love", and "Sleep" can be heard as harmless songs but also ones dealing with depression, suicide, or simply letting go/losing someone/yourself. And that's why this song had a strong impact on me, because it makes me think that this is a song to all of those who are struggling, that there will always be people to hold you up and get you through to the next day.

[terrawulf]

Some of the potf songs are like lullabies. They have life and are very poetic and beautiful.

[PoetsoftheFallUSAStreetTeam]

Watching this made me feel the same as when I first heard the song. Like the world was beautiful. Thank you Poets! Thank you for this lovely amazing video and song. Sending you much love from the USA!

"Children Of The Sun"

Parallel to life
There's a wisdom that seems out of reach
Like a figure of speech
In a maze of white lies
So elusive it's hard to recognize
With naivety's eyes
It's like running with a knife
The thought steals away with your peace
And high on that trapeze
You hold on to me
You hold on to me

And I'll be singing you
Songs of tomorrow
And then dawn will follow
And our sorrows all undone

When you're done with all the strife
When they echo the minds in the streets
You know your heart beats
A solitary call
For a change in the tone of it all
You'll be scaling that wall
And the higher you climb
The more you can see of this life
On the edge of that knife
You hold on to me
Hold on to me

And I'll be singing you
Songs of tomorrow
And then dawn will follow
And our sorrows all undone

Yeah, I'll be singing you
Songs of tomorrow
And then dawn will follow
We are children of the sun

And you know you can take this story
Take your glory
Make your own way
Yeah, I want you to shake this story
Take your glory
Find your way
Make your own way

And I'll be singing you
Songs of tomorrow
And then dawn will follow
And our sorrows all undone

Yeah, I'll be singing you
Songs of tomorrow
And then dawn will follow
We are children of the sun

This voice is hugging and calming down. It wraps me up.

[theSheighani]

Can we please appreciate how many of their songs tell a story, even if the lyrics sometimes don't always seem quite all together? And just how freaking amazing their music videos are?? And don't forget how talented they are to be able to go from dystopian to thoughtful to horror to hopeful with their music...?!!

Especially adding into they've never switched out their lead singer. That's rare, and it's nearly impossible to keep producing GOOD music for as long as these guys have!

[Sauriva]

In my darkest and my brightest times different people were beside me, but for years and years there was always the only group of people playing beautiful music, the only voice to tell tales, stories, to comfort, to cheer and to inspire.

Thank you for your music, for your astonishing lyrics and for this beautiful video!
From Russia with love <3 <3 <3

[lorenzosuero]

One of the BEST POTF Songs, makes me cry a river. Delicate, soft but incredible. Marko's voice in this song is UNBEATABLE. You are the BEST MATES. POTF FOREVER
(Come back to Spain soon, PLEASEEEE)

[commonsense]

For sure, this band has a huge fan following in INDIA love n respect for the great 👍🏻

[jennyobrien]

I truly, honestly, deeply love this band. I feel like people use the word love way too loosely these days, but I truly feel this peace and happiness when I listen to them that can be nothing but true love. Please never stop making music. You are incredible.

[tsunamidestructor]

3:50 onwards is perhaps one of the best conclusions of any Rock video. The music and the cinematography are absolutely spot-on!

[Simplysudip]

saw them live at Calcutta!!! he sounds exactly the same!!!
Damn!!!!

[IxodesPersulcatus]

I love music. I've heard countless songs in differet genres, different languages. But here? It feels like coming home after a long journey. Not sure how to explain.

[regisaugustosilvagouveia]

The most beautiful thing for me was how the footage managed to give meaning to the song, showing that it's not a longer Poets' love song. Poets brings with each of their albums different meanings of love, like seasons ... and this song, this video, brought the love that comes after the pain, as if the pain preceded something good, something beautiful ... just like the insecurity that precedes love; Just as the night that precedes the sun. For me it was a beautiful song that spoke of love, but I could not "dissect" all the meaning and it was as if the video was telling me of the immense meaning of "sorrow" until the expected arrival of the "sun" .. It looks like it takes you by the hand and says: "Look, it's going to be alright" ... and to understand that was an indescribable feeling, shivering in the end.
The blue light at the bottom of the band at the beginning of the video must symbolizes the moon, the night .... that after gives place to the yellow light, symbolizing the day, the sun ... but not only that, as you can interpret that the beginning of the song symbolizes the moon, the night, but from the second chorus the music becomes the day, the sun!
Sorry for this moment so thoughtful but I think it's such a simple and gracious work that deserves to be noticed.
Such a beautiful job Poets of the Fall.... receive love from Brazil!

Наверно уже 1000 просмотров из этих мои. Ребята - вы лучшие! Обожаю вашу мелодичность! Сижу слушаю ваши песни под бокал отличного пива и вспоминаю как прожил свои 30 лет.

[malthubhani]

This song is the beginning of my every morning. It fills me with motivation to face everyday's challenges. It never feels old 💜

Much love from Yemen 💕🇾🇪

It's 2024 and I just heard this song for the first time. I wish I'd been able to hear it 50 years ago. I've lived with depression my whole life and this song helps lift my mood greatly. Thanks for the music guys.
