    Dear fans and supporters, this is Thomas Bergersen from TSFH. Thank you so much for listening! ❤ Even though TSFH has officially ended, please don't worry, I will continue to compose and release music like this on my new UA-cam channel. Please make sure you follow me to hear more, learn about future concert dates, and interact with me. See you there!

      Don't be sad because it ended, be happy, because it happened...
      Thanks for all your effort and passion, it's shined through your music all these years, through all the sad and happy moments these songs have accompanied me, and not only me, but all the people who enjoy such fanstatic music. It's been 14 years that I've been listening to TSFH, and it never dissapointed, not even once.
      So, from from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

    It’s fantastic to see how divided people are on this track! It was written in honor of the great Swedish musician Avicii, and I (Thomas) tried to stay true to the spirit of his EDM productions. Whether I was successful or not remains be be seen. Maybe I should check back here in a few years and see :)
    The entire track was designed around Avicii’s musical personality and I would never change that, out of respect for him.
    So here’s to an exceptional musician who we lost way too early, and to anyone struggling with depression and/or substance abuse. Let’s acknowledge their difficulties and offer our unwavering and relentless support!
    I have a small voice through music, and I will use it any way I can to try and make a small difference in people’s lives, but we all have the capacity to change lives through our actions, thoughts, words, art and work - and that is a choice that benefits us all in the end.

    The first five minutes is a stirring ballad worthy of something like Lord of the Rings. The rest of the song involves learning that the Emerald Princess is a competent DJ, and has opened a club in The Shire.

      *laughs in mirth* Oh dear, yes, yes the Emerald Princess has themes of Middle-earth. I felt it, likely as you did. This morning also, (for it as a good morning in all of the ways Gandalf describes ;D] I could not get LOTR music out of my mind. And now.... we find ourselves dancing and listening to the Princess with her flute. Tinuviel, she may not be, but, your comment sings with all the truth that any Elven choir could provide.

    @virtualflightdispatcher 5 років тому +321

    For those of you who are haters of this piece, let me offer a couple of thoughts...The first being this, look at the sheet music...and I mean really look. First, the tempo doesn‘t change through the entire piece. Ever. The first half of the song is as fast as the second half. The difference being the use of half notes and whole notes to make you believe it is slower and more deliberate than the last half. In the last half, the layers of EDM come into play, with a lot more use of eighth notes in the backing track, which when added to percussion give a feel that it is much faster than the first half, when in point, the tempo never changes. This is the brilliance of this piece. Go read it, then comment again...I love it. I‘d conduct an orchestra in two for the first half, then four the second, but that‘s me...Thomas, this is just epic.

      @toxicpony3381 4 роки тому +1

      Nice analysis but to my ears it still sounds bad after about 6:00. The percussion (and other electronic sounds) makes this a disco melody - this is not what I am looking for in 2SFH. Btw I also dislike Orion album - for similar reason.

    I know not many people like the second half, but think of it this way. Two Steps From Hell puts out a new song every Friday, sometimes more. They have covered all the moods, sad, happy, dramatic, they've done it all. In this song, a lot like Impossible, they cover a ton of the genres/moods. There is no way to satisfy everyone, some people really like EDM. So, with that said, cut Two Steps From Hell some slack. Though they do seem like gods, they are human, which only makes them more amazing. So thank you Thomas and Nick! You have truly outdone yourselves.

Yet, I would not call it truly divided: the next song will come from the Dragon's wings, rolling onto the next good Base of the Immortal Generals Thomas & Nick, and, we shall still be as over one million voices! May the Music Make you Braver.

    This is literally one of the best pieces of music ever composed. And such a fantastic tribute. Every time I listen to it, I think about Avicii, and about the lesson to be learned from his life. It doesn't matter how successful you become. There's no guarantee for happiness. Keep the people you love close.

  • @impracticalnuke
    @impracticalnuke Рік тому +8

    The first song I found from Avicii was Hey Brother, and it literally changed my taste in music. There's beauty and grace in how he writes and makes his music, you could feel each strand tells a story of its own and at the end of the day, they go so well together. People think that EDM can be soulless and it's true. Some EDM feels like your run of the mill music, but not his. There's energy in his work, spirit and love. It's not monotonous, more lyrical if sounds can sing. And that type of energy is the kind of thing that I look for in music. That love and spirit and beauty that permeates through every notes. So, thank you TSFH, for reminding me the energy of Avi through this beauty you have made. And thank you Avi, for introducing me to what music can be.

It is soothing to those who can hear it, as there was this faint whisper of his voice, seeping into my ears when the EDM comes up. As a tribute to Aviici, I can hear the fragments of his workand his voice, a wonderful sound that I will miss. You will wake up when it is all over, my friend. Thank you, Thomas.

    "Music makes you braver"
    The moment when you can *feel* that sentence while listening. This is one of the songs that makes breathing hard for me because... well, it's hard to describe, but I think saying that it makes something inside me vibrate fits the sensation the best. (And I'm absolutely sure that's not the asthma's fault.) It's something I mostly experience while listening to TSFH to be honest and I *love* it. It makes me feel alive. Alive and strong and proud.

It was the only album publicly available at the time so I tried to find as many of their private albums as possible, and to this day, United We Stand Divided we Fall is my favourite track, maybe not the best of course. Thats what I love about TSFH, there always will be something for everyone.

And speaking as somebody who several times would have joined Avicii in the next life, if I hadn't been incredibly fortunate, I can't quite get across just how powerful music like this is. My worst times were eight years ago now, and I'm happily much better these days - but still, on the rough days, I listen to this, and my heart flies again with awe and wonder and love and I smile again, and on I go. Through this piece of music, I reconnect with the unbridled joy I feel at being well, and being alive, being here right now. This brings me back to life, I am sure it has the same effect on many others who have suffered, and through it - and thanks to you, Thomas - Avicii will live forever.

    Thank you, Two Steps From Hell, for making me hope for the life :)

    This track is so different! The beginning is sooooo beautiful and in the second part is a great new version of 'the neverending story'. Two Steps From Hell always surprises!

      It's bliss when that music is able to unite and bind to you, like a soul-song. The Emerald Princess doesn't match the beating of our hearts, for sometimes the song is just running off pure adrenaline... it is great to run and bike to... But in the calm, emotional moments, her flute indeed leaves me spellbound with it's magika.

    I am speechless and frozen every time in the wake of this song and imagination invokes thoughts and dormant emotions I never thought existed. I tried to perform this track on my violin a few years ago, but it was an impossible endeavor and I tried for six months. I perfected the first 5 minutes into the song but from there on it breaks down I can't complete it. It's too powerful. I've broken dozens of strings and out of frustration and acknowledgement of defeat I quit trying to copy it. It's an incredible piece of art and so beautiful.

    There's no such thing as a bad TSFH song. Just some of them give me more goosebumps than others.

    I don't think I've ever heard a TSFH song combine two very different genres as brilliantly as this one does.

    Awesome song. I close my eyes and think about the day of the livestream. Thousands of people around the world have heard it for the first time and freaked out in the chat. A great moment ...

      Ah, I was a part of that livestream.... It was sumptuous. And, every replay of the song is as it was when we first heard it. :) It was indeed, a very fair moment. May the Music make you Braver!

But if you feel the need to rectify your absence, you may bring cupcakes (with frosted swords and the TSFH logo ;D] or something for the entire Notification Squad next time. But for now, fill your heart with the Music! The livestream wasn't to be missed, but, luckily, I took screenshots, including when Thomas or Merethe popped up. :) Perhaps some pictures are lurking on Reddit.
