We definitely recommend you watch the original video, for the full experience: • Poets of the Fall - Li...
Wow, I got such goosebumps! How beautiful is that?!
Marko Saaresto is Finnish. His mother lived in england and she spoke him english early. He has also been as exchange student in Ireland and Florida. He claims to be bilungual in matter of english. More from en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marko_Saaresto
These guys are just sooooo good. Everything from the Alexander Theatre Sessions is brilliant.
Yes please. Do the lot. 💞
Thankyou guys. You just made my evening
Yes they are Finnish. (Something in the water there)
The Alexander Theatre Session songs are one of the best arranged songs I heard in the last few years. They are brilliant. Nothing more to say. ;-)
This is originally a rocksong with a faster tempo. It is really really good, worth of listening too. 🎶
Marko is Finnish but he lived for several years in England and learned the pronunciation there. That's why his English is good. Few Finnish artists can get rid of the typical Finnish accent, or they opt for the more common -Ish American accent.
Heard them performing this song live twice (the original rock version ofcourse) and it was amazing each time.
Thanks guys. This is one of my favourite bands, they actually brought me to your channel & now I absolutely love your channel as much as them.
Thank you! 🥰 - G
Thanks for your great reaction. My favorite from Poets of the Fall is ”Illusion and Dream”. Older stuff, but the best. Check that one also.
You should check out the original version of Lift- totally different song! And, Marko is Finnish, as others have said. I think you can hear the British influence in his English better when he's just talking, but he has what I tend to refer to as a 'nowhere accent'. Without context, you can hear it and have no clue about where he's from.
The whole band is great live. They've got quite beautiful music videos too.
The English lessons in Finnish schools do tend to lean more on British English than American English, but of course that doesn't necessarily mean that is where your speech habits come from. As a kid I always listened to different forms of media (music, movies, tv) that primarily featured American English, so that is what stuck with me, not the British English they taught at school.
Niceeee.. Finally another POTF react. Listen to "Cradled in love" and "Temple of thought (Acoustic)"
This is a full on Rock Song in original. Check out the live version from Moscow 2012 and you see what i mean ;) Rock on Folks. Greetings from Sweden
I felt exactly the same, in a state of ecstacy while listening to Marko's voice. If you listen the words the short notes on the piano triggers when he says the word "fear". Just perfect all of it.
... Fun fact. U2 singer, Bono , was one summer as a exchange student in Finland ~ and can speak some finnish .. POETS singer is a child of diplomat family and speak also french as 3 nativ language... @
He also lived in the US as a semi-pro golf player in Florida
Jealous Gods and Rebirth, I am sure you will love those too 😍 and yes please do the entire ATS, you won't regret it. Such a magical experience. Poets of the Fall are Finnish, and Marko speaks many languages. I lost track, but Finnish, obviously, English, French for sure... (his French is rather good even when we exchanged a few words in French) and I think he speaks a couple more languages. Thank you for the video, I was impatiently waiting 🤩 looking forward to the next one.
Vous avez rencontré POTF woaw la chance, ça doit faire bizarre de rencontrer Marko et de l'entendre parler français j'imagine. J'ai loupé leur concert à Paris j'étais dégoûtée, j'espère qu'ils reviendront en France faire des concerts :)
3:27 the piano music became otherworldly
So nice to see you come back to the Poets again - I love watching people fall in love with Marko's voice. He makes it very easy for you!
All the Alexander Theatre Sessions are great but I think that apart from them you will also enjoy "Given and Denied", "No End, No Beginning", "Sleep", "Cradled in Love" and "The Ballad of Jeremiah Peacekeeper" (all of these are ballads in some way or another) and if you want something a bit heavier, try "Balance Slays the Demon" from their alter ego band "Old Gods of Asgard" (a name they use when they appear in some video games they provide the music for).
But quite frankly, you cannot choose wrong with the Poets. They cover most genres and there's something there for everyone, no matter what song you pick.
See you next time!
Next up please do False Kings from the Alexander Theatre sessions, you won’t be sorry that’s for sure
Yes they are all Finnish, and I believe I read somewhere that Marko (the singer) spent a chunk of time in London, so that's probably influenced his choice of words and accent.
Another great video, I love following along your journey of discovering PotF. Sometimes I wish I could have that WOW moment again.
Thank you for giving POTF some more love - the entire set from Alexander Theatre deserves it for sure, beyond beautiful!
Ginger & Mike. Kiitos from Finland :):):)
It is journey of pleasure with these Men. So nice that you react and love them. All the love for you. ❤
You should see the original music video from this song! It's so freaking awesome 🤩
Marko is so AWESOME SINGER😉
I've heard a lot of rock songs taken back to acoustic, but this one is definitely the best.
Ginger at about 6:00 is all of us Poets fans each time we watched the premiere of another ATS song :D ... A musical arrow going straight throught the heart. A bit jealous you get to experience these sessions for the first time ... but also happy for you ... have fun! And I'm glad to see others have already 'voted' for Rebirth, that one's a 'must'! And my personal ATS favorite is Fragile ...
Thanks :)
For me this version of Lift from the Alexander Theatre Sessions looks like a piece of paradise
this is so different that not acoustic version,i like them both. this band have so much talent in every section. thanx to great poet reaction again and i waiting some beautiful day another come :) have awesome weekend there.
The singer Marko is Finnish like everyone else in the band but if I remember correctly he lived in UK for some years in his youth and he considers English his second language, that's how proficient he is in it.
Oh, and if I may suggest, when you're done with the Alexander Theatre sessions, or maybe even before that, you should try listening Love Will Come To You or Dancing On Broken Glass.
Fools' Paradise and Standstill are also my favorites.
They are amazing! Love this series!
carnival of rust is my fav from these
Marko is a very good lyricist
Ever heard, until today: is a Canadian metal band from Montreal, Quebec, formed in 2004. The current line up consists of guitarists Danny Marino and Pascal (Paco) Jobin, bassist Chris Kells, drummer Simon Mckay, and vocalist Vicky Psarakis, who joined in March 2014. Female vocalist, that's cooooll...
Thanks for this one!! I would personally have to say my favorites of the ones you haven't heard yet from this series are: False Kings, Jealous Gods, and War. (Rebirth is up there too 😊)
If I remember right, his mother is English and he has also studied English and classical singing in university. He is a bass-baritone.
The original version of this song was the first one I heard with Poets of the fall back in 2005...that and 3Am and I've been devoted ever since.
The Alexander sessions album gave the songs new life...
This is the only band that I've heard that actually added quality to both music and voices in their live performance.
I'm a huge fan of their music. Thanks for reacting to it!!!
Oh and you should listen to the original if you havn't.
They should go to Eurovision, since now Finland has already raise the standard from bottom.
No, please. Never ever. Anything but definitely NOT Eurovision. They’re too precious for something like that.
Amazing reaction plus good voice
Please do Rebirth next from these sessions and Thank me later😅😅👍👍
I would highly suggest checking out the original PotF Lift, the Alexander Theatre version is great but i feel that it lacks the punch of the electric guitar especially going into chorus that original has. For me it brought whole different feeling and drive to the song.
There is a lot that I love in this video and one of those things are Ginger’s dress! 🌹But also POTF. I’m a fan.
Thank you! 😘 - G
Than you for commenting this. This is my favourite song from alexandre theatre versions among jealous gods
They are all Finns, but the singer is almost half-English when it comes to languages. Her mother had lived in England and passed those skills forward.
Very few native Finnish people can sing English _that_ smooth because Finnish just has certain roughness to it.
Greetings from Finland 💖
🎹🎤🎶🎵 awesome 😍
❤✌☕
Marko’s Finnish, but he’s bilingual. His mother was thoughtful enough to gift him with a second native language, hence the beautifully poetic English lyrics. All of the guys in the band are involved in the songwriting, but the lyrics are written by him. He speaks with an American accent, not a British one. Poets have also written lyrics for other Finnish artists (just as beautiful as the English ones). Marko performed one song written for Finnish singer Johanna Kurkela a few times live on tour in 2012. Unfortunately, no official recording or video exists. However, there’s a decent quality fanmade video on YT, if you’re interested in hearing him sing in Finnish (and speak in English): czcams.com/video/UmYHNgPDqVc/video.htmlfeature=shared
Proud to be a finn.
Marko the singer is part irish part finnish.
Lift was the first Song from poets of the fall i heard. It was in the credits of some pc benchmark Software. So this Song has a special place in my heart. At first i didnt liked this Version very much. But after seeing this as a completely different Song it is really good.
Hi. You must do reaction from alexandre theatre sessions jealous gods! Its full of emotion😍
Yay, happy happy happy joy joy joy!
The original version of this is much faster and upbeat, no piano clinking in that. :) And I believe Marko's mother is Irish.
@@js0988 ...I agree they should at least watch the official music video for the original version of Lift on their own if not a reaction. They are so different that it's surprising that they are the same same song...but both good! 😊
The original studio version of Lift is very fast-paced rock. It's the first video of the band my son introduced me to many years ago; never have looked back since.
By the way, the piano's a Yamaha C7 (7'6"). I've tuned a number of them over the years; absolutely beautiful! There's no pedal for what you heard; Markus "Captain" Kaarlonen is merely playing in a stacatto style in that one section.
The singer is Finnish as well as the rest of the band
Hi my friends I just found your channel right now and I really enjoyed your reactions. It's was fantastic.
