a carrier pigeon (is that the name?) would deliver it faster than iTunes

Probably. The band is actually working on getting their own download store up and running, but it just didn't make it for this release. Hopefully we'll see it soon!

Coincidentally, I just went to the mailbox and found out my copies came in today.

Been avoiding the "leaked" versions floating around, so yeah, I'm sure I'll be having a musiGASM in a few minutes.

Got mine today! Whee!!


Me likey.

ah!!!!!! i cannot wait to see the DWA video. they posted the first screen shot

so.....why isn't DWA up on iTunes yet? trying to be patient, but it's really hard when dealing with such a great song!

These lyrics seem to never let us down. Amazing song, again <3

They just played it. Quite a strange video. Only Marko appears and he is mostly shown from the back. I couldn't get the story (need to watch it again), but I think the girl dies in the end?

post contains spoiler (but anyway, the vid is on youtube already, well )

I think the girl is never there at all, the guy is.. dreaming her wide awake. And I like this.
I was thrilled by the very first frame because I love the snow^^
definitely not our usual potf style.. I really miss the rest of the band




oh, and by the way... you won't believe what I'm about to tell you, but... DWA is on iTunes now!!

The video is awesome! Hopefully the boy gets the girl, some day...

Noo... can't be!! Well, there it is!

I just wish youtube was not blocked at work
I'll have to wait until I'm back home before I can watch the video - more than 8 hours ...

Just watched the video...
And now I have only one thought:

Marko!!!! Please!!! Don't cut your hair so short!!!
Looks like a prisoner.

And another thought - there is a whole of the band???
Where's Olli, Captain, Jaska, Jari and Jani? Miss them...

Ah, yeah.
Is this a real film in this video? I mean, is there is a film, the base of this story?
(donno how to tell it right...)

Being a musician in today's world sure is hard - it's not enough to just make good music, you also have to try to look good.


They decided to use only Marko in this video due to lack of time - rest of the band was just too busy with other things (like finishing the album). But I'm sure you'll see them more than enough in the future....


There might be... maybe Oskari will show it to us if we ask him nicely.

Poor Marko - one for all

As ppl mentioned,the only missing thing was the whole band,nevertheless another music video with a nice special style

I got it the second time. It is about loss... The video looks very similar to Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind (especially these disappearing moments).
Very nice and touching.

Haha, yeah, of course) Who wants to watch on ugly musicians?
To be honest, I love Marko's haircut, when his hair not so short.


...suddenly, after watching this video, understood, that I really miss Poets... And I want March come sooner... And I hope my friend really bought me a ticket to my Birthday)))
*Dreaming about concert Wide Awake*


Yeah, and very soon - March, 25.
It's very honour for Russian fans, that Poets closed the previous tour and open this tour in Russia (as for me, I'm very happy that the 1st concert will be in my home town))) )
Big thanks to them))))

That is an awesome music video. Excellent job!

I really don't understand how this has anything to do with the video... However, to my opinion, a prisoner would cohere quite well with the story. What else is that poor boy but a prisoner of his dream...

It's just my own thought, not about this video.
Just talked with one of my friends about haircut. I know, it's not our biseness, but...
I don't want to make a holywar about it
Just screaming nowhere))
cri de coeur)))

I didn't concern the video, honey. Just about Marko's look. Well, I do love him with longer hair but my beloved Poet is Markus for some reason anyway And what about Marko in the video... he looks incredibly sad and lonely...

One person from russian community at vk.com supposed that Marko is that boy, but in his older age. And this vide, just his memory... May it be?

I don't think it's like that... also because that boy is alread living on the edge of his present and his memory.

No, I think Marko is just the Narrator, he speaks instead of that guy who lives on the edge of reality and dream.

oh my gosh! thank you so much! purchasing it now

btw, loved the Dreaming Wide Awake video. it was on YouTube when I woke up this morning. It's a lot different (style wise) from any other POTF video, but I like it

The video is nice, but I don't think it's really typical of POTF ... I don't know if it was even supposed to be, but anyway...

The video is okay, but I always expect seeing something along the lines of Lift and CoR. Something more original than, you know, every other music videos out there. I loved the winter scenes, and the sunshine-in-the-streets bit was also very nice. It has that modern-vintage feel

...just hire Stobe the next time, okay?

Stobe has been tied to major (but familiar) project for the last n months, and simply has not been available for anything else...

Stobe is our everything? Well, he's genious and our beloved guys deserve his best ideas for their songs... but I do love this video. Someone may call it dull or pointless but it doesn't matter. DWA is different from the other songs and it's video is something new as well. Yes, I miss the rest of the band very much... but that's not the main thing for a video, I guess.

First of all, I probably haven't said this but, the DWA song is awesome. I love it, can't wait for Twilight Theater

Then about the DWA video.

The video was ok but I guess I just expected... more.

In my opinion the video just doesn't have anything truly special in it, like how Lift and CoR had the visual elements that made those videos my all time favourite music videos ever.

One thing that makes me think that this video does lack the truly special thing is that in my opinion the video could easily blend in with all other music videos that are out there today. This of course does not mean that the video is not good, it just means that it does not reach the level of awesomeness of some of the previous videos, which is no shame since those were unbelievably great. And again, this was only my opinion.

I liked some of the scenes like the ones shot in the snowy areas and the parts where Marko sings above the roof during night/evening. The city during evening has great atmosphere and in my opinion it fit well in the video.

The storytelling was done nicely though, although, it really made this video have this movie trailer feeling, not sure if intended or not

Anyway, I liked the video, not as much as I usually like PotF's videos but oh well. Maybe I just had my hopes set too high by wishing to see another CoR kind of video because in my opinion the song had the elements to fulfill the requirements for a spectacular music video.
