History YMMV / PoetsOfTheFall

* ColbertBump: It is probably fair to say a ''lot'' of their fans first discovered the band through their songs appearing in games by Creator/RemedyEntertainment.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtrYZKP7Wdk Dancing on Broken Glass's video]] showcases a young couple clearly in love, when one is dying of cancer... and while the two continue to love one another dearly and continue their relationship even throughout the most desperate time, it ends with the young man looking over the water with the photos of them together after his lover has very obviously passed away with a sad look. The lyrics make it even harder.

** Also from ''Alan Wake's American Nightmare'' is ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y5bd-CgFz0 The Happy Song]]'', [[BigBad Mr. Scratch's]] BraggingThemeTune. It's literary saying the same thing over and over, just adding in some changes and background vocals here and there, but this is somehow the most badass song ever.

** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0QsHKH77MI Take Control]]" from ''VideoGame/{{Control}}'': In addition to being an awesome metal song, it also marks the return of [[VideoGame/AlanWake The Old Gods of Asgard]] after ten years and, as with "Children of the Elder God" above, plays during a particularly awesome setpiece.

** Also, Old Gods' "[[https://youtu.be/GLxb7m0j5Jg?list=PLjACqN5i5sDUo3MfGtqogz7P3u5JUm3c- The Poet and the Muse]]" is an equally amazing song that plays at the end of Episode 4 where everything starts to come together, and the song's lyrics explain the backstory and what Alan must do next.

** And Old Gods' "[[https://youtu.be/b6RKKCQt82Y?list=PLjACqN5i5sDUo3MfGtqogz7P3u5JUm3c- Balance Slays The Demon]]" from ''Videogame/AlanWakesAmericanNightmare'' is amazing.

** "Take Control" from ''VideoGame/{{Control}}'': In addition to being an awesome metal song, it also marks the return of [[VideoGame/AlanWake The Old Gods of Asgard]] after ten years and, as with "Children of the Elder God" above, plays during a particularly awesome setpiece.

* FaceOfTheBand: A casual fan of Poets of the Fall may only be familiar with Marko Saaresto, the lead vocalist and lyricist. He gets the meatiest roles in videos, and since he's rather fluent in English, functionally serves as TheFace for the group, often being interviewed solo, or doing the lion's share of talking.

** Pretty much all of ''Twilight Theater'' and ''Temple of Thought''
*** Heck, pretty much all of POTF's songs, period.
