One of the best video game chemistry.. and the game was so well made it felt like reading the comics while being a part of it.. best graphic novel style game
I stumbled across these guys when I was playing the video game called Max Payne 2. That was back in I don't know it was either 2001 or 2003. I remember hearing a janitor coming and like chopping up the lyrics fucking it up pretty bad in the video game and I thought it was interesting the lyrics that is.. And then I heard later in the game some more of the quote-unquote bad guys playing it on a piano. And when I finally beat the game I actually got to hear the song during the credits and I was hooked immediately. I mean those were back... That was like right after the original. I've had my digital copy of late goodbye... Like the original version when it was released the first time for the game.. I've had that copy as a digital file... For I would have to say two decades now almost exactly two decades. for those of you that are not really familiar with the music and you've just stumbled across all of this listen to me very very carefully because this is important. If you want to experience with these boys are truly about.. Don't bother with searching for individual songs just go up to the top of the UA-cam page that you're currently on and in the search bar type the following exactly as I type it... Poets of The Fall Alexander Theater Sessions. It should give you the option to listen to the entire album. It is in a beautiful very old indoor theater in Helsinki Finland. There on the stage it's entirely acoustical. They're playing to an audience that's not there. All the seats are empty. And there's a music video for the entire album every song has its own music video. And they bring in a string quartet that goes by the name of cryosis for I think three or four of the songs. It's my personal opinion that if you don't go search for that right now.. You are doing yourself a serious disservice. And if you're not in a good mood... That album will Purge it right out of you. If you're not in a good mood you can expect the tears to come and they will. I'm a forty-three-year-old father-of-five daughters... Had a hell of a life including three deployments in Afghanistan. It takes quite a bit to bring tears to my eyes but when I listen to that album... It did several times. Most of the songs I had already heard countless times. One in particular that had me babbling like a baby was the song called, Children Of The Sun. It is hauntingly beautiful. Like every single song that's not one hundred percent happy... This one is one hell of an emotional roller coaster. Some of the best vocals you'll ever hear from this band are on that album. And it's interesting because I found out that the songs are numbered specifically for a reason but they won't tell us the reason. And it's not song one or track when I think they call it act 1 act 2 etc etc. if ever there was a 100% of 2 stickle album that would redefine the definition of perfect.. It's the Alexander theater sessions by poets of the Fall. I'll tell you that band is a godsend musically to humanity. I have purged a lot of distress and depression out of me listening to them over the years. And no matter what situation you're in in life good or bad... There's a damn fine chance you're going to find a song by them that will reflect probably very very very closely to whatever it is that you're going through. Especially if it comes to loss and love. Yeah that's a rough topic for some but anyway.. thank you for reading my ramp. Go check out the album... Seriously go check it out. Just humor me I promise you you will not be disappointed. Stay safe out there, and God bless. 🙏
One more thing to the gentleman that or woman whichever.. to whomever put the original comment that started this thread... I'm going to back up what you say 1 million percent. This is real talent. This is real music. There's no beatboxes there's no pre-recorded anyting. These boys are just as good life as they are on any album. And most bands can't even hold a candle to what these fellows can do live. And make sure to check out the song called rogue. I know some of you reading this have no idea what I'm talking about so in addition to the Alexander theater sessions check out the song rogue. Preferably one of the 3 dozen live versions that are out there. 🙏
It was 2005 when i listened to this track for the first time. Its 2020 now, and no other song has touched my soul so deep like this one. Thank you POTF for this lovely song. This will be the track that i'll listen right before I die. ❤️
@@casualgamer5599 An excellent memory. And when I was a kid I told my dad to buy this game, yesterday my brother bought it from a pirate cd store. I played it in an amateur way and died constantly thanks to my childhood. This year downloaded it and finished it but I am a bit regretful that I finished this masterpiece late, I wish I had finished it in 2000's like you.
@@casualgamer5599Finnaly it's happening Dude, Rockstar and Remedy both coming up with the remake of both games I'M SUPER DUPER EXCITED TO REPLENISH MY MEMORIES
the whole audience singing together while the band stopped playing was such a beautiful moment, and then Marko saying "Beauitufl! Thank you!" i love it
Superb quality sound! Thanks for cancelling the crowd's singing until the end and letting us hear the fine guitarwork and Marko's voice without the echo of the crowd. LOVE! This is one of the best versions of the song.
I've been extensively studying this song for the last 3 years. I've come up with so many interpretations but I'm never quite on point to the meaning of a few of the words. I wish someday The Poets would expand poetry and tell us their intended meaning. Poets' music has changed my life to a point where I don't listen to other bands anymore. Their songs are stuff to meditate upon and explore the subconscious.
Me too man,I heard this song six years ago and since then I've been obsessing myself with its words and notes. Same thoughs about the meaning,I'd like them to release band's take on the meaning of this and other songs,but mostly Late Goodbye
After seeing these videos, I am willing to travel miles to watch their live show. Had missed once when they came to Bangalore and I was in Delhi. I won't next time.
Shashank Singh Watched them in Kolkata and went to Bangalore to watch them in 2015.... Although the sound system was miserable to say the least... Yet i enjoyed it.... The Kolkata concert will be their best ever in opinion.. the sound was impeccable and the crowd was awesome... I had the pleasure of watching them from 10 feet only... In front of Olli.. ☺
Marko's gestures while singing are everything.... Lets us know how he's really into singing any particular song.. Also his raw voice in lives are way better than mixed studio sound..
This is my favorite song of all time, it is always on top of my list no matter what other songs are. Thank you Max payne, brings so much memory when i was 8 💛
Это шикарная песня из моего детства. Школьные годы, после уроков я играю в макс пейн. Макс и Мона навсегда в моем сердце, как и эта песня в финале игры. Спасибо!
I don’t care what everyone says. This is the best. It is rare to end up liking every single songs he sing. He is very talented and good. Not like a lot of the garbage that is out there.
This is love. When someone drags you from the wreckage when you have given in, ready to just lie there and die. This is love. When someone, no matter what the cost, shows you there is hope, a choice, that you can put down your gun. This is love. Love hurts. (c)
If you stop and look closely, the Vocalist is Vlad! He is the face of Vladmir Lem in the first Game! So I find it difficult that he doesn't like his own music.
This is still one of the few songs I know of that match the end credits of a game perfectly and capture the essence of what it was like to experience the story.
For me the road of loving this band began with this song and Max Payne 2 in 2003, so far i didint find a single song from them i didint like :D hope I will get the chance to witness their magical music and experience this awesomeness live ^_^
💜 Неужели так и не придётся увидеть вас вживую?? Концерты были отменены... Вы знаете, как в России вас горячо любят и мы очень ждем вас!!! Надеюсь, что скоро все будет хорошо и мы сможем увидеться! Ведь мы обычные люди и ни в чем не виноваты! Ваша музыка помогает жить и не сойти с ума...Я желаю вам здоровья и надеюсь, что мы все же увидимся! 💜
remember playing max payne 2 when i was just a kid. maybe 12 or 13 years old. and still to this day i listen to this masterpiece. and even in live. it"s pure gold
If I were rich, I would go to everyone of their concerts. Never get tired of that amazing voice, the whole band is so dynamic.
This so hits you so hard, you can feel Max Payne and Mona Sax's hearts!
One of the best video game chemistry.. and the game was so well made it felt like reading the comics while being a part of it.. best graphic novel style game
Song never gets old.
11 year ago much greater !
NEVER!
Cant forget..
She was desd... But its allright...
And it will never get old...
"I dont believe in paradise. I believe in pain. I believe in fear. I believe in death." Blessed been Max Payne!!.
Darth Medjai amen
"Past is a gaping hole. The more you run away from it, the more it grows behind you " - Max Payne
RIP James McCaffrey💔
Круто. Песня моего детства. Макс Пейн...ностальгия такая! Спасибо Вам за эту песню, друзья! Солист - настоящая звезда, исполнено великолепно.

@@NortheastSurvival911 I gotta show appreciation for you taking the time out for the max Payne to reference this shit had me in a chokehold😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sadly so many of the young punks today wouldn't know what real talent is if God himself told them
Fun Fact: Marko Saaresto (Vocalist) lent his face to the character Vladmir Lem in the first game in the Max Payne series.
Underrated comment.
And the game Max Payne had this same song at the end titles.. That was almost 20 years back.

Мне 50 лет, люблю хорошую музыку! Только сейчас случайно узнал этот коллектив, влюбился сразу и навсегда!
❤❤❤ влюбиться некогда не поздно ❤❤❤
Мы эту музыку узнали ещё лет в 10, благодаря компьютерным играм. Макс Пейн. Шикарнейшая игра с глубокой драматургией.
Мне 48,тоже недавно услышала эту группу, я покорена❤
the whole audience singing together while the band stopped playing was such a beautiful moment, and then Marko saying "Beauitufl! Thank you!" i love it
I love Max Payne !!!!!!
yeeee I LOVE MAX PAYNE
Me too
Me too
Same here bro!
Канал Максимыча зачем по английскому написал? 🤣
One of the most underrated bands of current times. Marco's vocals are just out of this world. It's always a pleasure to listen to these guys.
0:12 When I hear that crowd going crazy as soon as he mentioned the song I’m like “Oh NOW you love Max Payne 2?!”
This, I believe, is one of the greatest concerts ever. How lucky the audience were to witness such a legendary performance.
Superb quality sound! Thanks for cancelling the crowd's singing until the end and letting us hear the fine guitarwork and Marko's voice without the echo of the crowd. LOVE! This is one of the best versions of the song.
One of the most iconic and tempered voices in rock today. No note is missed, wobbled, nor cut.
Never get tired of listening to this song

This is my favorite song of all time, it is always on top of my list no matter what other songs are.
Thank you Max payne, brings so much memory when i was 8 💛
What a Game Max Payne was. And listen to this in credits after the game was ended, was a magical feeling. One of the greatest games of all time.
The goosebumps when they sing it back, Dear god.
It's so powerful
Better than the original!!!! Love your voice Marko!
He's not Marko. He's Vladimir "Have no fear, Vlad is here" Lem.

Как же это шикарно! >_
Fascinating to hear the accents even in the crowd's singing! Beautiful song.

I feel sorry for people who disliked such a master piece. If you agree hit thumbs up 😀
They pressed dislike because they felt bad not being on the actual gig, right?
Наверно не всем дано почувствовать прекрасное!
