My girlfriend passed away in March. She adored POTF and, like many, discovered them through Alan Wake. She loved this album when it came out and always hoped they'd make a video for this song. Their music has been a large part of what has kept me going.

POTF doesn't screw around, lyrics that rips one's soul, videos that makes your eyes tear and a music that puts one in a trance

[RohanGNair]

Probably the most underrated band in the world! Such fine quality of music, yet low recognition!

[NeverlandSystemAngel]

I found this band playing "Control" in that secret room... and WOW... I am a metal/metalcore person mostly... but these guys are amazing. the lyrics, the tones, the variance in styles. AMAZING. They are incredibly talented.
Having lost my sister years ago... this really hits me hard... such a beautiful song.

[dawnfm]

Poets Of The Fall as usual with their legendary testimony!

[MSF_VOID]

7 Years ago : Discovered Alan Wake and POTF.
7 Years later : Still a fan of POTF.

Time flies by so fast...

[novak]

Fantastic voice, brilliant songwriter, great actor... So many talents in one Marko.

[Pepsidoll]

This band makes me so proud of Finland.

[Ankur]

Marko Saaresto has got the most beautiful voice on this planet!

[swiftsfox]

My husband passed away in June unexpectedly. He was from Finland and one of the first phrases he taught me was “I Love You” in Finnish iMinä Rakastan Sinua” as well as Kippis..cheers while raising a glass. Finns are big on drinking, as well as passionate about everything else. He would have loved Poets of the Fall, as I do. Miss my Viking so much...

[kuntalghosh]

This is pure, raw poetry at it's best. Maarko's mesmerising vocals coupled with the tragic, haunting music is simply too beautiful. The video brings out the true essence of this song perfectly.

[Tobyanca]

Heartbreaking yet so beautiful. As soon as I saw the men I had to pause for a minute, my heart started to race. The way the elderly woman could barely enter the room and stopped in the doorway, and the way she leaned on the piano and put her arm across it as if maybe, he was there, that really got to me. They picked a perfect actress for that, she had me feeling her pain. As sad as this is and I can even say, hard to watch at one part, I can't stop, it's another masterpiece, you guys.

Lyrics
I see shadow and light
Stroking the mist
And I hear voices take flight
And send out our wish
Of peaceful dreams on a night
Moonlight kissed

Tendrils of smoke lash the street
And shamelessly court
Disguised honey sweet
To cater all sorts
And hushed tones all agree
And the world distorts

Wishing on a speck of dust
In this crazy ocean of fate
An echo of a memory
And maybe just a little too late

Fingers of blue on the snow
Reaching to touch
The warm light still aglow
Across the porch
We watch the scene die untold
Outside our window

For my words are the salt of lust
On that ivory skin
Difficult to hear at all
Through the everyday din

What is this if not some witchcraft?
Wrapped up widdershins
To lead us all astray
H-ook in mouth
On through some webs of lies
Truth's a distant star
In our eyes
Moonlight kissed

New day comes again
And it laughs in your face
Whispering secrets of pain
By all it's names
What flame could burn out the stain
Of a life misplaced?

But summer's scent still lingers
In your hair
Despite the ache
There's magic everywhere

Out the window run rebellion
Rapt with all you find
For seeking something new
Play in the ponds like summer's wind
Dance with the trees melding with mist
Beyond their flower field like
You're moonlight kissed

[POETADENNIS]

Whenever i listen to Marco.. I fall in love with the gift of life. It's like i breathe fresh air with every stanza he songs. Much love from Kenya 🇰🇪

[drsmik]

those kinda songs are just diamonds in whole music world, damn that's so touchfull, one year ago my grandfather passed away and the last thing that we done was that we saw sunset and stunning super moon together and than he went to sleep so the moon literally kissed him, and didn't woke up, and I was the last one who saw him alive, so this song reminds me that moment with him, and makes me cry
I see shadow and light
Stroking the mist
And I hear voices take flight
And send out our wish
Of peaceful dreams on a night
Moonlight kissed

[КоноплянкаЗеленая]

Обожаю Poets of the fall, они с годами только лучше становятся и это очень радует! Что в 2012, что сейчас их музыка восхищает! Голос у Марко это конечно нечто, очень завораживает!

[janeangl]

Beautiful. I watched the video with my boyfriend. He hardly watched it, though, was just listening to the music, was just looking at me all the time - so much love in his eyes that I could hardly comprehend that all of it was for me. Dear, Poets of the Fall indeed has a talent to make people all emotional and thoughtful. Thank you for every song of yours; they often make moments in life more perfect than they already are.

[acquazzur]

Apart from having such a beautiful quality to it, i'd like to point out how wonderfully expressive this voice is and the variety of colours and nuances it's got in every single song. it really conveys the different words' meaning in every phrase.... and in my humble opinion it is the reason why it connects so much with the listener's soul. Of course, not only the singer, but all the musicians in the band are doing this, creating together such a magical atmosphere in every single track. True musical poetry! I hope they continue to mesmerize us with their art for a long time still to come, because music like this is food for the spirit.

[Stellock]

I don't know why, I just keep coming back to this song more than I do with their other songs.

[celinek]

POTF never ceases to amaze me. True artists making raw beautiful music at a time where shallow meaningless music and unnecessary profanity/nudity in the videos to draw attention is the norm. Please don't ever stop making music and being a light in people's lives.
Love to you all from a Syrian. ❤
