Jazz Musician REACTS | Poets of the Fall "Angel" | MUSIC SHED EP293

[@chrismaverick9828]

I absolutely love the way that the entire spectrum is filled by just the piano and vocals in this theatre. The lows, mids, and highs are all in balance on the first several bars of the chorus. The resonance is fantastic as a backdrop.

[@milliesmummify]

Marko (vocals & lyrics ) Markus (composer, producer, pianist) & Olli (composer & lead guitar) have been together 20 years next year, I’m sure they’re pretty much telepathic by now 😁 In videos of some of their live gigs their admiration of one another is a joy to behold.

[@nervanderi]

Carnival of rust.

[@rikuruohomaki3230]

Markus, their composer / producer /keyboard player used to be in the Amiga computer demo scene, making MOD music (mod = music file format that incorporates sound samples and notation, written with a tracker program, where you download samples and write the notation in text and sample numbers and sample number and FX as hex decimal numbers), using the name Captain.

[@JariJuslin]

Demo scene was a big thing in Finland and quite a lot of our now famous game programmers started there, but apparently also some musicians. And Poets of the Fall was brought to international attention when they made song Last Goodbye for game Max Payne and Remedy (the game house) and the band have been working together since that. In Control they made the songs with heavier sound and using different band name but it's still the same guys.

[@lassesaikkonen501]

@@rikuruohomaki3230 Space Debris was groundbreaking when it came out. After that we got to listen to a million copies of the song the following years.

[@imavanna]

This is one of my absolute favorite bands so I'm so happy to see this reaction!

[@MarkoMakela-mv8dt]

To me too for some years now... Oh boi:)

[@JariJuslin]

This is one of those cases where you didn't need any reverb effects, just mic the whole room 😀. The theater itself, vacated by the pandemic, had all the acoustics you needed.

[@bjornfellman8826]

What a great reaction from someone really knowing what he is talking about! Thank You!

[@pastlink]

YES! I love watching people discover PotF, they are so good! So talented! Please watch more, I'd be very interested to follow along. All of the Alexander Theater sessions are great, or the eGenelec Studio session too, with the whole band Cheers!

[@kurtpahlow6476]

I love all the Alexander theater session songs too! I also second the Genelec studio series, especially Carnival of Rust and Once Upon a Playground Rainy...full band, w/electric instruments, yet the band itself is causal and laid back. Their official music videos are artistically good too, but I find the visuals take away from the vocals and music.

[@WLxMusic]

I'd like to point out that Captain is Markus Captain Kaarlonen of Amiga Music Space Debris fame. So cool to see his composing skills on Poets songs.

[@TheRealCoyote]

Fantastic song, fantastic reaction. What a rich nyanced tone the singer has!

[@Alexia-dr3it]

Absolutly love this band, especially their french version of The sweet escape !

[@Tumbledweeb]

My favorite tracks by them: "Children Of The Elder God", "Balance Slays The Demon", "The Poet And The Muse", "Take Control" and "My Dark Disquiet"

[@angulion]

This is a recording they made in a small set with very few people (not even whole of band) during covid - reduced to piano and Marko, mostly as a tribute as it was free for all in their and my country, Finland.

[@MarkoMakela-mv8dt]

One of the best bands ever came out from our country and Marko just have a really good voice. It is strong but he has the soul in the more quiet parts too.. That is called an expression:)

[@Natilra]

Poets of the Fall is probably my favourite band ever; there's not a single song of theirs I've heard that I didn't like. On their music videos, there is a full band and it's much more of a spectacle. But for these Alexander Theatre Sessions covers of their old material, it's all stripped back like this. Turns a lot of their rock-y bangers much more haunting.

[@giftofthewild6665]

The band usually plays alternative rock but their acoustic performances are beautiful.

[@MasterRahl221]

"You're as cold as ice!"

[@kohinaario]

My goodness, that was fantastic!

[@lupis61]

I just love this band, can’t wait to see them again in October in Amsterdam! ❤🎶🇳🇱

[@romkeadema9795]

You should definetly check the other songs they did in the Alexander Theathre!

[@hannegran6123]

Less is more. Silence speaks. Don't need more harmonies or anything. This is perfect as it is.

[@Linlin_666n]

Lyrics of this song and Marko’s voice is so touchy and catchy 💔 I really enjoy it and can’t stop listening it again and again. Thank you so much for your reaction to these guys! By the way my first song of Poets of the fall was “Sleep”. Recommend it too))

[@kirdik2]

Watched them live, they so good live. Also highly recommend to listen poets of the fall - skin (unplugged)

[@MasterRahl221]

Great song, thanks for reacting to it

[@nicmmnel]

really love listening and playing along with your commentary and songs. its like a mini podcast.

[@kaleba7911]

New Dance Gavin Dance album! Several new songs that are very good!

[@Blue-Dog]

Foreigner.....Cold As Ice. I'm late to your channel. Love Markos beautiful tone. Poets of the Fall are such mood.

[@TimTheTuner]

"Cold as Ice" by Foreigner, by the way (because I'm old). I guess a case can be made for the chord progressions being similar, though I probably wouldn't have thought of it.

[@Scarfinger36]

Cold As Ice. I started singing when you were playing.

[@helky8]

Omg, gotta love some Poets! You have found a real gem! No I have to ask have you already reacted Nightwish? 😁

[@Randi-x2r]

👋🏼This was fantastic😍 first time listen to this channel. I liked it a lot. If you like jazz, I can recommand Angelina Jordan. She got jazz in with the mothermilk. She is now 16 years old and from Norway. She won Norway got talent at 7->8 years old. She sing “ I put a spell on you” with a jazzband at 8 years old. 😳fantastic. The latest cover is suspicius mind a cover by Elvis Presley, so delicate done and I have nothing by Withney Houston. She even cover Michael Jackson Billy Jean with a jazzy twist. She has signed public records and is working with a new album. She is up there with the best. 🤞🏼

[@finnmuller3866]

Tune fron the beginning i cold as ice by the foreigner, easy one, love that song

[@torpmorp1324]

I wish I were half as talented as you at anything

[@lujalainen1]

what a great reaction to magnificent song. thanx to great reaction and have wonderful day and soon weekend. this band big label is making music with games ( max payne 2,alan wake,control... ).

[@jefferylopez504]

carnival of rust was always so good in my opinion.

[@ripvanwinkle9648]

You cutting that song off at the beginning was cold as ice, dude. Glad to see you reacting to some Foreigners, though. Great job. All kidding aside, Poets of the Fall are my fave group at this time. Too many good tunes to list from them. I'll let you choose from the other posters' suggestions.

[@SneakyBeaky430]

Just sayin, the new Dance Gavin Dance album is finally out, its almost all that I've listened to for several days. Absolute Cream of the Crop. Truly One in a Million.

[@TimTheTuner]

I would add to Mandar's suggestion below the Alexander Theatre Sessions version of Poets' "Children of the Sun" with the whole band and featuring Triosis+ (a trio of sisters plus a fourth sister who joined them).

[@desmanndennis2773]

Absolutely need to check out Tom Misch “It runs through me” tiny desk! You will not be disappointed 😁👍🏽

[@aleshacoats9033]

They did a cover of Adele's Rolling in the Deep, they made it really Bluesy ✌😊👍

[@ДанилЖувак-о1ш]

I recommend "love will come to you"

[@lancewebb2186]

I searched and saw you've never done an Every Time I Die song...they have amazing chemisty for being hardcore and lyrically untouchable in the genre, check out anything but the song Moor really sticks out as an all time banger.

[@sofikitty9480]

Would love to see you react to any of the new DGD singles that came out after synergy and pop off !! 😍

[@amymalina5073]

Cold as Ice

[@timbersaw813]

Please react to more songs from them

[@jenlambert1259]

Cold as Ice - Foreigner.

[@Dulkh4n]

Glad to know you like it, You should check some other songs from them with the whole band, Some great songs includes, Carnival of rust ( incredible video too), Requiem for a Harlequin, Temple of thoughts ( acoustic) Lift, my dark disquiet and so soo many others

[@uniqueflowsnake]

fucking took me a while to be cold as ice since i'm a bit drunk on youtube on a friday night just going thru reactions to potf xD ...but i got there.

[@shohan09jasim]

More POTF song reactions please

[@Reannemich]

It would be awesome if you could check out a band called PUP. They're a Canadian Punk band and have a very unique sound!

[@ashmototherapy]

Check out a band, Zeal & Ardor. Black metal gospel band. You are missing out Dave.

[@Hello-vq4tn]

I am once again requesting that you check out Badflower

[@bilingualkaraoke8665]

@Name that tune: Cold As Ice by Foreigner.

[@zudanjanuardi6992]

do reaction on Radiohead -Paranoid Android, absolutely banger🔥🔥

[@BelieveNoGod]

Did you react to KALEO ? No ? Well it's about time.

[@jorisniquet2681]

Talking about great love performance I invite you to react to the Hiroyuki Sawano project, which is a live of the Attack on Titan (Anime) OST. This is so musically rich, so much happening in the writing but everything is readable. Such a masterpiece!

[@gabrielfranchi8323]

Still waiting for the day you do Wesley’s Theory by Kendrick Lamar

[@Finkele1]

I know you are very good in music and all...i'm decent too but pls don't ruin sound of opera hall and grand piano with your ....what ever keys you have there. Thx

[@juhasilvennoinen8193]

You want to.... Be . The Guy.. why? Speak .. no music... Why??? Let the music go 🙏 yo like yo wois.. f word yoy.. from Finland
