Topi Sorsakoski (real name Pekka Tammilehto) was one of the best singers of that genre in Finland. Unfortunately he passed away in 2011 in the age of 58.
Hi Mauro, im so glad for your reaction, so pure and real. Thanks mate :) I have been fan of Topi since i was little kid. Maybe because my father use to play Topis c-cassettes always in our car. 2008 i was in local bar named Old Texas. I made wish to bar owner that Topi come to make gig to bar. And he did! From that night i have my acoustic guitar with aitograft from Topi Sorsakoski.
Originally recorded by Peggy Lee "Johnny Guitar" from the movie Johnny Guitar. if I remember correctly, it's composed by Victor Young and the lyrics are by Peggy Lee
Cool. I remember the song from Fallout New Vegas. Sorsakoski and other Finnish legends are much more interesting to me now as a 40+ person, than when I was young.
Topi sorsakoski once visited our home,well, my mother told that, probably my father never knew lol, i was little kid back then. When topi died, our classroom was silent as heck, we were like14-15 years old and everyone of us knew who he was... me and my friend still playing his songs while being at the lake or drinking
The leading guitarist of Agents is Esa Pulliainen (The one with the Finnish flag on his guitar) He is considered as one of the best Finnish guitarists ever☝️ You should also react to Agents/Esa Pulliainen - Yksi ainoa ikkuna (Instrumental live)
Lyrics The guitar is playing Sadness rings So quiet The chords of it The joy is gone Your departure took the joy out of it The sadness was all that was left Grief now, the guitar is playing, the guitar is playing Once it rings for you in the clearest Kiel Its sound is dark to me now Come to me again, come my love Then I would be so happy Just sadness, the guitar is playing, the guitar is playing Once it rings for you in the clearest Kiel Its sound is dark to me now Come to me again, come my love Then I would be so happy just sadness, the guitar is playing, the guitar is playing
Hi Mauro. Thanks for this and other interesting reactions. The band Agents was founded in the fall of 1979. Band members: Esa Pulliainen (guitar), Hans Etholén (accompanying guitar), Juha Takanen (drums), Jukka Ollila (keyboards; later Eero Ojanen) and Esa's brother Kai Pulliainen (bass). Agents' second soloist in the early 1980s was Pekka Tammilehto alias "Topi Sorsakoski". The collaboration between Topi Sorsakoski and Agents ended in August 1992. There were over a thousand gigs and five albums behind them. All records sold gold and four reached the platinum mark. Esa Pulliainen, a stylist and guitar virtuoso, was responsible for arranging the songs. Topi returned as a soloist in 2007 for one album and a tour. Topi died on August 13, 2011. The song you are reacting to is apparently from Topi's 50th anniversary concert on October 27, 2002 at Helsinki's Kulttuuritalo.
Hello Mauro! Great reaction again! I hope you can react Piirpauke - konevitsan kirkonkellot. There is strong symbolism about history of Karelian and Finnish tribes, its abvious what is evil side in this video, same happens in Europe now days. Concuers are trying to steal others treasures, wheat in today Europe, to rule world with hunger by first taking food away.
Nowadays singer of agents is Ville Valo. Ville Valo use to be singer of rockband called HIM. You should listen Ville Valo& agents. When love and death embrace. That song is old hit from HIM.(His Infernal Majesty)
Valo was only with them for a year or so, one tour I think. Vesa Haaja has been the latest long time singer altough Maustetytöt did tour with them last year. I think guitarist Esa Pulliainen has been touring with MrBreathles lately, but I'm interested to see whats next on the Agents front!
Excellent reaction! When I was young I heard this artist many many times and wondered who listens this kind of crap. 20 years later starting to play guitar at old age and of course Esa Pulliainen (guitarist) is one of the best one so started to listen this crap more. Now I have bought all the vinyls I get my hands on. Agents & Ville Valo you might want to check out also, ikkunaprinsessa and paratiisi(older versions). At least ikkunaprinsessa has also Spanish subtitles. You'll find it with ""Agents & Ville Valo Ikkunaprinsessa Subtitulos Finés Español" Both versions have Esa with that iconic guitar
Once we were in dancing hall and Topi should be singing there. He wasn't angents singer anymore then. And Topi was drinking in boat and his band played set and half way on second set Topi came singing so drunk that barelly can stand
Check this out, if you want to listen to more finnish classical love songs. This is from as far as 1943, from wartime and originally sang by Erkki Eirto. This Leif Wagers version is more familiar to finns and still played in many, many weddings in Finland, including mine at 1999. This is the classic of all classics. ua-cam.com/video/MUQuX-RoTwA/v-deo.html
It hurts to say goodbye Yön väistyessä Varjojen yö Vain yksin me kaksi Ajomies Olet rakkain Yksi ainoa ikkuna Rakkain Tuuli tuo tuuli vie Kellot soi Cherbourgin sateenvarjot Vihreät niityt Eeva Leningrad Moskovan valot Lyhdyn syttyvän nään On kesäyö

I am reacting on my second channel, to his videos. I am actually gonna upload tonight one :) here is the link to my channel : ua-cam.com/channels/0LVnj5511U3dLUwsHWBHhg.html
Agents was so popular that they almost single handedly saved the struggling old school dance hall culture at the time of Disco and Rock.

Esa Pulliainen from agents is one of the best guitarist that Finland have to offer.
I don't usually listen to this kind of music, but this one I ❤
Topi Sorsakoski had a great voice. whether young or old
His voice is lovely. Greetings from Finland

Lyrics
The guitar is playing
Sadness rings
So quiet
The chords of it
The joy is gone
Your departure took the joy out of it
The sadness was all that was left
Grief now, the guitar is playing, the guitar is playing
Once it rings for you in the clearest Kiel
Its sound is dark to me now
Come to me again, come my love
Then I would be so happy
Just sadness, the guitar is playing, the guitar is playing
Once it rings for you in the clearest Kiel
Its sound is dark to me now
Come to me again, come my love
Then I would be so happy
just sadness, the guitar is playing, the guitar is playing

Goddamn, that was well pronounced! Especially "Topi Sorsakoski" and " Surujen". I didn't expect that!
Finish guitar Emeritus, Esa Pulliainen. Soft hands…
Esa Pulliainen in leadguitar. Finnish guitarist legend
This is the song Johnny Guitar
Yeah, those translations were a huge thing in here at some point 😊
And experieencing so much different gategories of Finnis music
My favourite lead singer for Agents was always Rauli Badding but Topi is also great

R.I.P to Topi Sorsakoski. He died in 2011 in 58 years old.
"Lankinen Pulliainen vihreät niityt", You will like it.
You must listen ' Hopeinen kuu '
Topi is King.
Rauli Badding Somerjoki is also very famous singer with Agents, worth to listen.
ua-cam.com/video/FJG76l345E4/v-deo.html
It's by no means a hidden gem. It was a huge hit in Finland back in the day.
We Finnish are excellent at especially melancholic and sad songs... Im doom metal artist myself
There is one legend Dave Lindholm - annan kitaran laulaa vaan
Topi is so good here, and The Agents lovely. Dont miss another version,Jonny guitar, Spotnicks.
A always will love you i am More metal Guy from Finland but this is awes8me Topi had hes thing 😂
Guitar with Finnish flack was guitar of Masters in finland
❤❤❤❤ kiitos sinulle sinne tähtiin
I love how they experiment with different genres while still staying true to their sound. Next reaction - Nick Thurl end up dead 😍
Topi ❤❤❤
Proud to Be Finnish❤️
I just find your channel, and that what you react. topi Sorsakoski is best. Kauan se soi!
If you want to know who is best Finish singer then listen to Olavi Virta 1915-1972.
I totally agree! I consider myself mostly a metalhead but OMG when I hear Olavi's songs... He was so great. ❤ And he also was a great actor.
Nowadays singer of agents is Ville Valo. Ville Valo use to be singer of rockband called HIM. You should listen Ville Valo& agents. When love and death embrace. That song is old hit from HIM.(His Infernal Majesty)
Valo was only with them for a year or so, one tour I think. Vesa Haaja has been the latest long time singer altough Maustetytöt did tour with them last year. I think guitarist Esa Pulliainen has been touring with MrBreathles lately, but I'm interested to see whats next on the Agents front!

It hurts to say goodbye
Yön väistyessä
Varjojen yö
Vain yksin me kaksi
Ajomies
Olet rakkain
Yksi ainoa ikkuna
Rakkain
Tuuli tuo tuuli vie
Kellot soi
Cherbourgin sateenvarjot
Vihreät niityt
Eeva
Leningrad
Moskovan valot
Lyhdyn syttyvän nään
On kesäyö
And one of the best:
Voitko alkaa uudelleen
You have to listen to Topi S& Agents and" Salattu suru" or Beatles cover " Olet rakkain"(=And I love her)
Try from Alan wake 2. Ahti - Yötön yö. which is actually done by poets of the fall but anyways
It's great....of that kind of music.
Olavi Virta on suuri suomalainen laulaja..

Näin meillä suomessa, valitettavasti Topikin on siirtynyt autuaille niityille.
Voitko arvostella seuraavaksi ananaspizzan kiitos!
Esa Pulliainen-quitar
Esa Pulliainen on the guitar... He might be better than Alexi Laiho...
Kylläpä oli surkea veto Topilta. Ihan kun olis hoono soomi. Levy versio paljon parempi.

Upea esitys.
Wow Your Finnis pronounsion
Interesting. To me (and many other esp. younger Finns) these artists have been the boring stuff that drunk sentimental middle aged bar patrons dig.
I might look young, but inside i'm just like them ahah
@@mauronicolo89 me too, im 27now and i play rather this than any rap songs ever made..
Im 18, and i lisen him and others legends
I think these things go in cycles. Every generation has their blind spot and doesn't necessarily see the beauty in front of their eyes.
