I felt in love with this Band 11 years ago. Now i have a little babygirl in my belly and i play this wonderful music to her 😍😍😍

[@mandeepdhakal3613]

God bless you and your kid .. May he/she be a good musician in future.. From an ardent potf fan !!

[@mhfa5037]

now that's a cool mom!

[@LuonnonkosmetiikkaWithDeli]

So many song relate to motherhood. Like Temple of Thought. When I was listening that song after birth of my daughter I found a totally new meaning for that song...!

[@DomisDomiziel]

Stop eating baby girls! In fact, stop eating babies altogether! That's not ok! Good taste in music though ;)

[@HappyHardcore38]

Congrats Mandy ! Me and my wife have a beautiful 3 month baby boy and he sure listened a lot of POTF from mama's belly. I wish you the best !

[@alanweak]

What an incredibly rare gift it is to have a voice like Marko's. Like it's rare enough to have a fantastic singing voice in general, but to retain that voice in its entirety through so many years like he has is just amazing.

[@midnightcaretakers7954]

True, and it's not that he has an insane vocal range, but he knows how to use it as a true master of the craft.

[@Sarahahahahah]

This song played at my wedding as the song immediately following “I do”. It was beautiful and perfect- we also played “Someone Special” while I walked down the aisle. Highly recommend POTF songs for weddings if anyone was on the fence about it. 💕

[@KH0LRA]

In the future when I get married I would totally play "The Sweet Escape"

[@aninen46862]

Aww! That is so sweet. This song is so apt for that setting too.

[@kal.e.4556]

Ah, PoTF making everyone's quarantine better!

[@Paolinkinparkfan]

Honestly, I can't wait every month for a new song off these sessions ❤️

[@katharinaa.9166]

These monthly highlights are a strong force that pulls us through this year :)

[@szymonpaker]

Yesssss! Greetings from Poland❤

[@adeshmishra7663]

I really like the voice of Marks, even at last when he was talking his voice seemed very melodious.

[@TueVlog]

"I´ll give you peace when peace is fragile" is a very nice line

[@kuzho784]

Here is the lyrics, for those who wants to sing along. You've been biting bullets all these years, I know There beside yourself, choking on tears And you aced avoiding possibility When you placed your bets on bittersweet Now don't you worry No need to be sorry Time to step lightly Cause the love you used to feel is still there, inside It may be a faded photograph, but I know you care, so don't hide If you're scared, I'm here beside you If you get lost I'm here to guide you And I give you peace when peace is fragile Love is all the good in you Love is peace when peace is fragile You've been going out of way to agree Like you've been rubbing yourself all wrong Just to be somebody else's genie Catering to your disaster's every need Waiting to finally be set free I said, baby, don't worry Life will carry Just take it slowly [2x] Cause the love you used to feel is still there, inside It may be a faded photograph, but I know you care, so don't hide If you're scared, I'm here beside you If you get lost I'm here to guide you And I give you peace when peace is fragile Love is all the good in you Love is peace when peace is fragile

[@newbiesama]

Like we need them XD

[@myrrhfortheroad]

Thank you so much! I so appreciate you including these!

[@tylerleavittt]

poets should pin this comment. that be cool :)

[@pratyaysarkar7905]

Turn on Captions..they have the lyrics now. 😊

[@RichardKoning]

Thank you! 😊❤

[@WSoUnD21]

from Russia with love ^}{^ thank you very much, beloved Poets, from your music only positive emotions and every string of the soul trembles...

[@iforthedetail]

Perfection, serenity, magic, melody, sophistication and tranquility have names and faces. In this century they are band members of Poets of the fall.

[@timwoodward9799]

After being single for an eternity...I met the one I thought I'd die with. She was severely suffering. Lotta trauma from her past. I brought this music I to her life. Fragile...The Alexander theater sessions version was the first one. It fit her. I sang it to her. It was a beautiful blessing...her being in my life. Well...she's gone now. I still sing this to her every single night. She may not hear it...but it's there. Without fail. As is Children Of The Sun. More often then not I break down. And it's ok. POTF has been with me since Late Goodbye. I'm truly humbled. An addict in recovery...15 months now...the music of POTF sets me free. I can purge my very soul...and I do...with this music. I am blessed and truly humbled to have heard that janitor humming Late Goodbye in Max Payne 2. Saying thank you is a severe understatement. You know a lot of people find meaning in music to make it their own metaphorically. As of lately with these guys it's not metaphoric it's quite literal. And it hurts like hell.. but it's very easy to bring that pain to the surface and set it free with the music and the lyrics from these guys. Again I am blessed and truly humbled to have come across their music when I did. I've been following them since the beginning and they have been there without fail for everything. Their music has been a major tool in me setting myself free and saving my own life. I cannot thank you enough. If I had to pick one in particular.. well good God that's a tough one.. I would have to say Children Of The Sun the Alexander theater sessions version. Rarely can I sing that entire song without at the very least my voice cracking and getting misty-eyed. So profound. It's one of those songs that I don't sing for myself I sing it in prayer for others. A very specific view. Thank you again and God bless. Music is life

[@stormbreaker1444]

Спасибо. Меня тронуло до слез. Хочется написать много слов. Но словами не передать те эмоции, те чувства что в душе. Так что просто благодарю. Спасибо

[@xTigressStylex]

Stormbreaker_1 подписываюсь под каждым словом 💗🇷🇺

[@Mlie]

It's been 10 whole years now since I first heard one of your songs (it was while playing Alan Wake) and I keep being amazed by how amazing your music is. I really love these versions of the songs, and they're the highlight of the month for me. Fragile was, just like the previous songs, a perfect fit for this project. Thank you for these 10 years - here's to (at least) 10 more!

[@michaelcard9382]

I had Alan Wake lol..didn't know poets were on the soundtrack

[@Mlie]

Michael Card The song War is from there, and they are the fictional band Old Gods of Asgard that has a few songs in the game (and in American Nightmare). I believe Marko, Olli and Captain can be seen on a tv-screen in game with Sam Lake for an interview (as Poets of the Fall). You should replay the game now that you know this 😎

[@DenU_1979]

@Suzie.q Popcorn123 me too,I never watched the credits for so long ... just after Max Payne fell in love with this band

[@zavok]

for me it was max payne 2 they used late goodbye still love that song

[@newbiesama]

Has that been 10 years already.......

[@Cah4ec48]

Финляндия-родина большого количества талантливых музыкантов !

[@impamp3]

да во всей Скандинавии есть множество талантов

[@alexleyn]

@@impamp3 Не хочется быть занудой, но проинформировать хочется). Финляндия не является Скандинавией. В Скандинавию входят страны: Дания, Норвегия, Швеция. Финляндия входит в состав стран Северной Европы и Фенноскандии. Просто для информации. Кстати, на финском страна называется Суоми. И некоторые фины (таких очень мало), незнающие английского языка, не знают страну Finland)).

[@alexgr666n]

Been loving this song for 15 years now, for a half of my whole life. Thank you, Poets.

[@KondratevaNV]

Wonderful, amazing, awesome! Your music has changed my world, just turned it upside down. I met your work recently, but in this short time I experienced an incredible amount of emotions. Your music and Marco’s stunning voice fill my world with energy, passion, love. Now your songs are part of my life. ❤

[@gabrielamouselli6298]

I said to myself: Which song i'll get, as a surprise, today? Thank you so much for being connected through spirits...

[@zipi3132]

Спасибо, ребята, что вы есть и что вы запустили этот акустический проект. Эта песня и предыдущие заиграли новыми красками. Thanks a lot! I love your songs so...

[@Yumie404]

Now all I need is Ballad of Jeremiah Peacekeeper *hinthint* but seriously, thank you, all I needed today

[@xcrystalexx]

How can you even dislike this? How can you dislike anything these guys put out? Talk about options . Studio sessions, live sessions, acoustic sessions, my goodness you name it. Warms my heart to know how many people are aware of this band now. POTFFORLIFE🔥

[@TheHolyHobnob]

I still remember finding these guys from a Fallout 3 video exploring the outside of Vault 87 someone uploaded years ago before I even found out about Remedy Entertainment. It was sometime during secondary school and all these years later they still remain to be my favorite band, hell I even taught myself to sing through emulating Marko and his style and working off of that

[@gusgalaxy]

You know, for a song called "Fragile", it sure is a powerful tune. Love it, guys.

[@lilianagfm3222]

So so beautiful ... unique voice Marko ... Hope you return next year to Portugal ...I will be there again. Loved your concert in Lisbon last year. You are great ...

[@rounakpatra6691]

What a melodious voice. Thank you so much for this session ❤️

[@hostetler125]

Once again, as always, a wonderful, lovely song. Two thumbs up if KZbin would let me give two. Went out and got a copy of the song upon seeing the video.
