Not exactly Halloween themed but imo it fits the original Halloween aesthetic so to say very well: "Return" by Deine Lakaien in the "20 years of Electronic Avantgarde" version with orchestra accompaniment! Would love to see your reaction to that one!
Just wait till you hear one of their live performances from the Alexander Theater sessions. It will literally blow your mind, the Songs Angel, Rebirth and Jealous Gods are insane.
*For Halloween highly recommended: ...."Don't Turn Your Back On Fear" by The 69 Eyes [Official Audio Version / "Paris kills" - Album], "Ghost" by The 69 Eyes feat. ApocalypticA [Audio version/"Angels"-album], "Lost Boys" by The 69 Eyes [Official Music Video], "The Funeral Of Hearts" by H.I.M. [Official Music Video], "No Fear" by The Rasmus [Official Music Video], "Crazy, Mad, Insane" by Beast In Black [Lyric Video], "One Night In Tokyo" by Beast In Black [Official Music Video], "Unlimited Sin" by Beast In Black [Audio version/ "From Hell With Love" - album], .......Greetings & Stay safe.* 🎵🌟🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🌟🎵👍💿🔊✅🤘😈🤘
Poets of the Fall are for some inexplicable reason massively underrated band, despite being so good! Their Alexander Theater Sessions are incredible. POTF is one of those bands where it does not matter which song you pick, they are all good.
Unfortunately they came a bit too late for Finland to become permanently successful here, which is a damn tragedy. At the time they broke out their style didn't fit what listeners wanted anymore. I feel like they should've come in the nineties to have been appreciated in the level their talents deserve. They had big initial success, but faded away quickly. I get it, but I don't get it. I hope they've been more successful outside Finland, and I think they have been.
Really super underrated. Ive listen to this song like million times but still i haven't got bored with with and i feel the same feelings when the intro starts... Din ti ting ti ting ti ti tiiyiing...
4:25 finally someone who mentions the lyrics. That is what makes this song so great. The voice and instrumentels are awesome, but to actually have meaningfull and complex lyrics, just adds so much for me
Thank you for your lovely comment. Did you like the new reaction video to Queen I just posted? Hope to see you in 2 hours on my LIVE stream www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic and on www.patreon.com/MaggieRenee for additional fun events?
The Poets are my favourite band on this planet - can confirm they are criminally underrated, so I'm always super happy when vocal coaches like yourself discover them and give them some love. All of their music videos are incredibly thought out and tell stories, Marko's voice is simply beautiful and they're insanely versatile. I've heard all sorts of genres from them and they never disappoint. One big recommendation that I have also seen in some other comments is "Angel" from their Alexander Theater Sessions (a series of videos they uploaded where they do unplugged/minimalist versions of some of their songs. Angel in particular turned out incredible and really showcases how beautiful Marko's voice is. Some other great songs by them include "Lift", "Daze", "Heal my Wounds", "No End, No Beginning", "Given and Denied" and my favourite song of all time, "War". The latter was part of the soundtrack for the video game Alan Wake. They also make a lot of music for computer games, sometimes under a different name (Old Gods of Asgard). Their song "Balance Slays the Demon" under that alias is also very good and completely different from Carnival of Rust or any of the others I listed here. I hope you'll have a great time checking out any of these songs!
YES! I recommend them all over reaction channels, and no one seems to listen to them. They're by far the most talented and under rated band I've ever heard. Adored them for decades. Ty for picking them!!!
Poets of the Fall is seriously under appreciated in the music world. They are AMAZING especially their live videos!!! Dancing on Broken Glass is my favorite song of theirs, but honestly I have yet to hear a Poet's song that I don't like. I'm so glad you did this video!
Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you TODAY in about 30 minutes on Twitch www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic for fun LIVE Reactions and on www.patreon.com/MaggieRenee to help support my channel, if you are interested. Thank you and Happy Holidays! 🤗💖
@@maggiereneemusic your welcome. They did a series of them. All are on their TH-cam channel. Any of them would make a great reaction and they are all live.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Did you like the new reaction video I just posted? Hope to see you TONIGHT on my LIVE stream www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?
Their first major foray into the US market was YEARS ago, when they made music for the (horrible) video game, "Alone In The Dark", as they knew someone on the production team, and their friend wanted to help them out. From there, they have gradually gotten a following, but majorly blew up, at least in the States, with the release of this song.
I didn’t know about this band until the video game Alan Wake… They are featured as themselves but also as the fictional band Old Gods of Asgard… A 70s era metal group. Members of which appear as characters in the game as old guys in a diner. At the time, there was no good source of buying their albums in the US outside of importing them… Very talented and versatile group, That don’t get a lot of recognition in the States They have done 4 songs as OGoA, two as old school style rock/metal and two as the band’s comeback performances which are used in a sequel game and another game based in the same world. All of them are pretty good. All different from their typical sound. Their newest song Control is pretty heavy and mixes in their melodic vocal style as well. The first two capture the 70s metal sound pretty well, but you can hear the affect of modern recording and mastering in them.
As a (non-singing :D ) Poets fan, I'm just happy for you - and your viewers who didn't know the band before - that you know them now :)! Happy for Poets as well; they deserve attention :).
Awesome reaction video. This is a band whose live performances I can confidently recommend. The way you reproduce their melody with your voice is sweet. Mad skills 😎
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS POETS!!! I love them so much, I've been recommending them on all the reactor's I follow, and everytime I see that someone has picked them up makes me so happy. I'm a bit late to your vid, woops, but I'm so glad to see it! They are so good, and relatively unkown and I feel like that's a crime. You should check out a live performance next time, Marko is really, really talented, as is the rest of the band. Something from their Alexander Sessions (I'd recommend Angel), or even their Live in Moscow (I'd recommend Temple of Tought, since you've heard Carnival of Rust here already, but it's also a solid performance).
Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you on my Twitch live stream in a few hours today and watch me react LIVE to great artists: www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?
Fascinating. Indeed the mindscape of a person after many hardships and heartbreak can be full of scars and rust, waiting for rain and 'spring' to come. Wooing another person is indeed us showing our best appearance, our tricks and moves that can dazzel and entice him/her to stay but then after it all becomes familiar or not exciting enough will they eventually walk away? Great creative vision and story-telling.
I've been listening Poets of the Fall since my childhood, Late Goodbye specifically, after listening for the first time when I finished Max Payne 2 and was the song in the credits. Thank you Maggie.
you finally did it... I've been begging you for AGES to do this one... and I missed it when you actually did it... but then, i've had a lot of personal issued the last several months...
Illusion & Dream is imo one of their best and for some reason is a song very few channels do reactions to. The lyrics are amazing but then again they usually are with Poets.
Thankyou for reaction, this is one of my favourite less than five minutes song, the creepy gas mark girl is to denote her restricted senses, she has become deaf and restricted in her sight to her true needs, the fortune teller is her heart or soul, The carnival of rust is the deepest recess of her mind, and the Tarot cards at the sides of the fortune teller are the signs and symbols that are guiding her life due to not being able to hear and see clearly what her heart and soul are trying to tell her. She is being driven by her greed and lust for things in her life she does not require in excess. This is represented in the lyrics "Red cape and Foil come closing in for a kill" this is the deception of the matador to the bull, She is being deceived by all the material greed represented by the vendors in the video as they make a killing(money) out of the needs of others The Doll represents this lust for materialism in excess as does the candy lollipop. The Roller coaster is her emotions as they Ebb and Flow. She has been in the Carnival of Rust (deepest recess of her mind) before to try to find a resolution to her pain, see the fortune tellers booth and the cracked glass where he (Heart) has tried to save her before. In the end as she heads down the same road she has walked before. it is a forlorn road and she has a moment of realisation that she is feeding the rain that is bringing the rust or decay in her life she lowers the doll representing her greed and lustful thoughts and turns. we are left to ponder if she will enter the carnival of rust again. The fortune teller(Heart and Soul) ejects a card in the video Cor Cordis or Cordium Heart of Hearts as in what is really in your Heart of Hearts
Poets of the Fall is my favorite band of all time, and Carnival of Rust has been my absolute favorite song in all of time and space since the moment I first heard it - and you touched perfectly on many of the reasons why. 💜 💜 💜A lot of people have already made excellent suggestions of other Poets songs you should listen to (and I second every single one of them 😁) For a great example of Marko's range (he's a baritone, but he can hit notes in his head voice that are at the upper end of my own range as a mezzo soprano/alto), you should listen to False Kings (for his rich, silky baritone), Daze (for the range of his deeper vocals in the verses and amazing falsetto in the choruses), and Cradled in Love (for his gorgeous, delicate head voice). In fact, it would be awesome to listen to all three back to back, in that order, and see your reaction. 💜
Thank you for your lovely comment. Did you like the new reaction video I just posted? Hope to see you TONIGHT on my LIVE stream www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?
In Daze Marko uses his falsetto so perfectly that it is a amazing. Although in my belief, he has some sort of classical training, nevertheless, his voice is one of the best male voices in pop and rock.
The story with the cards [beside his booth] tell a very very sad tale that weaves with the symbolism through the video. The realization of love, loss of innocence, the yearn for the wrong thing, running out of chances, getting what you want but not what you need and realizing what you've done but it's too late; the damage has been done and opportunities lost
Your only the second Reactor I watch that has checked out this band. THANK YOU! I fell in love with band a few years ago and have never regretted it. It's just sad that they don't really have a following in the U.S.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Did you like the new reaction video I just posted? Hope to see you TONIGHT on my LIVE stream www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?
It is a song about obsessive love. He plans on moving "in for the kill" when he sees this woman entering the carnival wearing a gas mask which likely symbolizes trying to escape previous toxic relationships. She shows up with the hope of finding a healthy relationship and possibly a family in the future. But he comes on too strong and scares her. When she holds the doll and then turns to leave, he then sings "Don't walk away". She leaves disappointed. Please react to Poets of the Fall (Live at the Alexander Theatre) for the fully acoustic version of "Rebirth" combining Poet band members with 3 female violin players and a female cello player. It is a stunning presentation. Markos is at his best. The strings and guitars are stunning. The piano ...sublime! Please react.
Yeah.. Don't see that. I see a song about greed in a broad term, both material and mental. About a person, who rejects those who love her for who she is, in favour of "fancy things" - party, entertainment, "candy", expensive trinkets. Who sails through her young years like it, thinking "I'll settle down later, for now I party with these cool people!", only to find out later that those "cool people" moved on, because they were never going to settle down and have a life with her, since it never was their goal. All the partying dies off as the time passes, all the attention starts to fade away as the "prime years" pass, all the shine on expensive gifts wears off, all the "candy" is eaten already or has become tasteless, because one has consumed it for too long and too often. And in the end, she's alone, with nothing to show for those "fun times", and comes to realize that this is how it will be now, that she rejected those who cared for more "fun and easier" life before. Now everyone has moved on and she's alone, with the faded fruits of her greed, that old and worn doll.
There is so much cinematically going on with this production. Check out the cello players...how many arms ? Such a fantastic song and band and a great reaction. Reminds me of the first time I heard it and fell in live with them.
Thank you very much! POTF is a gem! And Marko's voice is amazing - you already know that! Coupe of songs to hear at first: "Daze", "False Kings", "You Know My Name" (really great Cris Cornell/Bond theme cover) and "The Sweet Escape/Partir Avec Moi" (there is English/French version). And many more...😊

wow i was happy that this underrated band find away this channel :) this band is full of talent (guitar,piano and that voice). when ever finland come vocalist first name marko, it´s always bulls eye :) i think every game player know this band ( they make music games like max pain,alan wake,control and more ). thanx to great reaction and have awesome weekend there. today it´s time to go see new james bond in movie theater for first time 2 years. this band music sounds many time like bond music, you can hear if your journey about this band continue :)

I love this song. It is so sad really. It is about his love, the only one he ever loved choosing material gain over love. thus the lyric (Where enough is not the same it was before)
This is probably my favourite band of all-time. I discovered them (c. 2008) via this song and I haven't heard a bad track from them since. My favourite is Moonlight Kissed but I endorse False Kings for a future re-action.
Thank you for your comment. Did you enjoy my new reaction to Floor Jansen I just posted? And hope to see you later today on Twitch for more FUN LIVE REACTIONS where you get to react with me LIVE? www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic
I got to know their music when the Max Payne 2 (2003) videogame came out. They composed the ending music, the "Late Goodbye" . This is a brilliant song. I've been a big fan of them ever since.
Poets of the falls song Daze and Halloween could work quite nice. They have also autistic versions of many songs played at Alexander theather. Check out, sound absolutely amazing! 😊
I know just so underrated..... The quality of all recordings is just amazing.... Wait till you check out. Sleep, ohh lord the studio version of Temple of thought.... It's a wonderful rabbit hole... maybe you can explain the amazing quality of these recording and why others don't do it. It seems like Finland and places like that really realize the importance. Cheers
I’m like Dan down below, stumbled on this song by accident right after a failed engagement and this song hooked me and tapped into those dark emotions I was wrestling with. They aren’t a daily listen for me but they keep pulling me back in every couple months.
I think POTF's music in most of their songs resonates with most people in this strange place where you subconsciously think: "It fits..." I describe their works as "Ending theme music" for like a deep movie or (as they actually made their entrance to foreign lands) video game. Close your eyes as you listen to this and you can see the credits roll. But that's not what makes them so fantastic. Musically, lyrically, vocally, stage presence: they are fantastic in their ability and presentation. They don't have a bad song in any of their albums. THAT is hard to pull off.
If you please, check out The Alexander Theater series they did in 2020 when the lockdown was in full swing. They are acoustic/semi acoustic versions of some of their most popular songs and they truly showcase Marko's voice beautifully. As well as the rest of the band. Pared down and utterly lovely.
Marko's voice is amazing. I discovered this band when I had a fanfic prompt that included a snippet from the lyrics of their song Can You Hear Me (check that one please, Maggie!)
Starting in 1960 to 1970 with THE BEATLES (all the songs are great hits) And in the next years we have bands like Kc And The Sunshine Band ,10cc, Earth Wind And Fire , Kool And The Gang , Toto , Electric Light Orchestra , Yes .

Wayne Casey from KC and the sunshine band is a white man that have the soul and the music of black people living down deep inside on her BIG heart GOD BLESS YOU WAYNE CASEY. I was born in the golden era of music 1960 and today i am a happy young man on my 64 yrs old. And the only good band we have now is POETS OF THE FALL because they are still playing today.
Thank you so much for reacting to this B-E-A-UTIFUL band and their B-E-A-UTIFUL music! I love Poets of the Fall so much! I especially love their song "War". It's so powerful. If you could, please react to it.
I used to hate this video and song as a kid. It was everywhere, and mini me was like eww light rock haha. I have gained respect to this song as an adult. I had a bad case of ove rexposure. I like your style Maggie, you seem like a cool person. Keep up the good work :)
🎡🎡I remember watching this and thinking "wow." Such a beautiful song, performed with such talent. And that video! Alice in Wonderland meets Nightmare before Christmas (for me at least!) Great job Maggie! 🎡🎡
Hey Maggie :)) I would Love to See your Opinion to "Requiem for my harlequin". This Song is so deep, Epic and Unserrated. I Just saw them live 2 days earlier, and its unbelievable how perfect they are. Greetings :))
Have you seen Witchdoctor by DerStaadt? Another interesting video and fantastic tune by a talent that few seemed to be aware of despite the almost cult status in Europe. One of my favorite songs/videos. Thanks for sharing!
And there quite a number more that are emotional and visual roller coasters out there. I spend possibly too much time seeking them but enjoy it nonetheless!

POTF has been my favorite band for the last 10 years. Surprisingly, no one I mention them to has ever heard about them.
The video has a post apocalyptic feel to me, like something from an old mad max film or similar and what a fantastic song and video.

She is being driven by her greed and lust for things in her life she does not require in excess.
This is represented in the lyrics "Red cape and Foil come closing in for a kill"
this is the deception of the matador to the bull, She is being deceived by all the material greed
represented by the vendors in the video as they make a killing(money) out of the needs of others
The Doll represents this lust for materialism in excess as does the candy lollipop.
The Roller coaster is her emotions as they Ebb and Flow.
She has been in the Carnival of Rust (deepest recess of her mind) before to try to find a resolution to her pain, see the fortune tellers booth and the cracked glass where he (Heart) has tried to save her before.
In the end as she heads down the same road she has walked before. it is a forlorn road and she has a moment of realisation that she is feeding the rain that is bringing the rust or decay in her life
she lowers the doll representing her greed and lustful thoughts and turns.
we are left to ponder if she will enter the carnival of rust again.
The fortune teller(Heart and Soul) ejects a card in the video Cor Cordis or Cordium
Heart of Hearts as in what is really in your Heart of Hearts
Poets of the Fall is my favorite band of all time, and Carnival of Rust has been my absolute favorite song in all of time and space since the moment I first heard it - and you touched perfectly on many of the reasons why. 💜 💜 💜A lot of people have already made excellent suggestions of other Poets songs you should listen to (and I second every single one of them 😁) For a great example of Marko's range (he's a baritone, but he can hit notes in his head voice that are at the upper end of my own range as a mezzo soprano/alto), you should listen to False Kings (for his rich, silky baritone), Daze (for the range of his deeper vocals in the verses and amazing falsetto in the choruses), and Cradled in Love (for his gorgeous, delicate head voice). In fact, it would be awesome to listen to all three back to back, in that order, and see your reaction. 💜
Thank you for your lovely comment. Did you like the new reaction video I just posted? Hope to see you TONIGHT on my LIVE stream www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?
In Daze Marko uses his falsetto so perfectly that it is a amazing. Although in my belief, he has some sort of classical training, nevertheless, his voice is one of the best male voices in pop and rock.
The story with the cards [beside his booth] tell a very very sad tale that weaves with the symbolism through the video. The realization of love, loss of innocence, the yearn for the wrong thing, running out of chances, getting what you want but not what you need and realizing what you've done but it's too late; the damage has been done and opportunities lost
Your only the second Reactor I watch that has checked out this band. THANK YOU! I fell in love with band a few years ago and have never regretted it. It's just sad that they don't really have a following in the U.S.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Did you like the new reaction video I just posted? Hope to see you TONIGHT on my LIVE stream www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?
Really enjoyed this during the stream and watching it again reminded me I need to check out more from this band... great reaction! 🎡🎡🎡🎡🎡
So glad! Can't wait to see you tonight? 🥳
It is a song about obsessive love. He plans on moving "in for the kill" when he sees this woman entering the carnival wearing a gas mask which likely symbolizes trying to escape previous toxic relationships. She shows up with the hope of finding a healthy relationship and possibly a family in the future. But he comes on too strong and scares her. When she holds the doll and then turns to leave, he then sings "Don't walk away". She leaves disappointed.
Please react to Poets of the Fall (Live at the Alexander Theatre) for the fully acoustic version of "Rebirth" combining Poet band members with 3 female violin players and a female cello player. It is a stunning presentation. Markos is at his best. The strings and guitars are stunning. The piano ...sublime! Please react.
Yeah.. Don't see that. I see a song about greed in a broad term, both material and mental. About a person, who rejects those who love her for who she is, in favour of "fancy things" - party, entertainment, "candy", expensive trinkets. Who sails through her young years like it, thinking "I'll settle down later, for now I party with these cool people!", only to find out later that those "cool people" moved on, because they were never going to settle down and have a life with her, since it never was their goal. All the partying dies off as the time passes, all the attention starts to fade away as the "prime years" pass, all the shine on expensive gifts wears off, all the "candy" is eaten already or has become tasteless, because one has consumed it for too long and too often. And in the end, she's alone, with nothing to show for those "fun times", and comes to realize that this is how it will be now, that she rejected those who cared for more "fun and easier" life before. Now everyone has moved on and she's alone, with the faded fruits of her greed, that old and worn doll.
You should do a double reaction to the song Angel, one from the album, and the other from the acoustic version done in the Alexander Theatre Sessions
Also, the song Lift from the album and the Alexander Theatre Sessions. I love both of them!
Watch all of the Alexander Theater sessions from Poets of the Fall.
Found these guys a while back and fell in love
There is so much cinematically going on with this production. Check out the cello players...how many arms ? Such a fantastic song and band and a great reaction. Reminds me of the first time I heard it and fell in live with them.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Will you be there for my 195K Subscriber Celebration Live Stream tomorrow?
My favorite singer ever and my favorite band! ❤️🥰
Thank you very much! POTF is a gem! And Marko's voice is amazing - you already know that! Coupe of songs to hear at first: "Daze", "False Kings", "You Know My Name" (really great Cris Cornell/Bond theme cover) and "The Sweet Escape/Partir Avec Moi" (there is English/French version). And many more...😊
Thank you for your lovely comment. Did you like the new reaction video I just posted? Hope to see you TONIGHT on my LIVE stream www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?

Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you TODAY in less than 1 hour on Twitch www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic for fun LIVE Reactions and on www.patreon.com/MaggieRenee to help support my channel, if you are interested. Thank you and Happy Holidays! 🤗💖
I love this song. It is so sad really. It is about his love, the only one he ever loved choosing material gain over love. thus the lyric (Where enough is not the same it was before)
This is probably my favourite band of all-time. I discovered them (c. 2008) via this song and I haven't heard a bad track from them since.
My favourite is Moonlight Kissed but I endorse False Kings for a future re-action.
Poets of the Fall - Partir Avec Moi
Thank you for your comment. Did you enjoy my new reaction to Floor Jansen I just posted? And hope to see you later today on Twitch for more FUN LIVE REACTIONS where you get to react with me LIVE? www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic
@@maggiereneemusic I still didn't have time to watch the whole thing when I had to go to the sauna. Gotta look here completely during the evening.
😍
I love watching someone hearing Marko's for the first time
I got to know their music when the Max Payne 2 (2003) videogame came out. They composed the ending music, the "Late Goodbye" . This is a brilliant song. I've been a big fan of them ever since.
i love this band
Poets of the falls song Daze and Halloween could work quite nice. They have also autistic versions of many songs played at Alexander theather. Check out, sound absolutely amazing! 😊
Love this band. They also had a song in the game called Control.
I know just so underrated..... The quality of all recordings is just amazing....
Wait till you check out.
Sleep, ohh lord the studio version of Temple of thought....
It's a wonderful rabbit hole... maybe you can explain the amazing quality of these recording and why others don't do it.
It seems like Finland and places like that really realize the importance.
Cheers
The video director is Stobe Harju. He has other cool music videos with the Finnish band LoveX, their songs Guardian Angel and Anyone Anymore.
I’m like Dan down below, stumbled on this song by accident right after a failed engagement and this song hooked me and tapped into those dark emotions I was wrestling with. They aren’t a daily listen for me but they keep pulling me back in every couple months.
I forgot this song!!! I used to love it.
First Nightwish and now you're reviewing POTF?! Love this channel!
Thank you for your comment. Did you like my new reaction video to Nigthwish I just posted?
This song is my favorite of the band hands down.
So beautiful story and video ❤️
I think POTF's music in most of their songs resonates with most people in this strange place where you subconsciously think: "It fits..." I describe their works as "Ending theme music" for like a deep movie or (as they actually made their entrance to foreign lands) video game. Close your eyes as you listen to this and you can see the credits roll.
But that's not what makes them so fantastic. Musically, lyrically, vocally, stage presence: they are fantastic in their ability and presentation. They don't have a bad song in any of their albums. THAT is hard to pull off.
If you please, check out The Alexander Theater series they did in 2020 when the lockdown was in full swing. They are acoustic/semi acoustic versions of some of their most popular songs and they truly showcase Marko's voice beautifully. As well as the rest of the band. Pared down and utterly lovely.
Marko's voice is amazing. I discovered this band when I had a fanfic prompt that included a snippet from the lyrics of their song Can You Hear Me (check that one please, Maggie!)
Oh, I haven't heard this in a long time!
Poets! *YES!*
Edit: I recommend 'Love Will Come to You' and 'Rebirth.' Also 'Rogue' but it's an instrumental.
Poets of the Fall - Angel (Alexander Theatre Sessions / Episode 7) take this its only grand piano and voice. i think you like it.

And the only good band we have now is POETS OF THE FALL because they are still playing today.
Thank you so much for reacting to this B-E-A-UTIFUL band and their B-E-A-UTIFUL music! I love Poets of the Fall so much! I especially love their song "War". It's so powerful. If you could, please react to it.
Go Finland! You are an amazing Maggie!
Poet And the Muse is another great one of theirs, and the other songs they did for Alan Wake and Control ~
Poets of the fall - Daze
Interesting voice...
I used to hate this video and song as a kid. It was everywhere, and mini me was like eww light rock haha.
I have gained respect to this song as an adult. I had a bad case of ove rexposure. I like your style Maggie, you seem like a cool person. Keep up the good work :)
Ahh yes, the "Gas masks are cool" era. What a great song. They have many good ones. Lift? Locking up the sun? Bops all of them.
underrated at an insane level
Their work as the fictional band Old Gods of Asgard is awesome too
Nice to hear this Song not lost
Suomi mainittu, torille mars.
I've known this band for many years and love the creamy soft sound in the singing
PLEEEEASE more poets of the fall 😍
🎡🎡I remember watching this and thinking "wow." Such a beautiful song, performed with such talent. And that video! Alice in Wonderland meets Nightmare before Christmas (for me at least!) Great job Maggie! 🎡🎡
🎡🎡🎡🎡 was a pleasure hanging out with you Miss Maggie not a bad song interesting video
Olli knows how to play that guitar ♥️
Finland and Finnish bands hold a special place in my heart. Check out Amorphis, they're unique.
Gotta hear Daze from them... video is also great!
Alexander Theater live sessions - try it, fantastic live sound
The song Angel from Alexander theater sessions 😊
Epic song, Great reaction!
Hey Maggie :))
I would Love to See your Opinion to "Requiem for my harlequin". This Song is so deep, Epic and Unserrated. I Just saw them live 2 days earlier, and its unbelievable how perfect they are.
Greetings :))
Have you seen Witchdoctor by DerStaadt? Another interesting video and fantastic tune by a talent that few seemed to be aware of despite the almost cult status in Europe.
One of my favorite songs/videos. Thanks for sharing!
And there quite a number more that are emotional and visual roller coasters out there. I spend possibly too much time seeking them but enjoy it nonetheless!
One other thing, comment the emotions? Are we supposed to incorporate it in a reply or make a comment about a ferris wheel?
🎡🎡🎡🎡🎡🎡🎡 Great vid as always Maggie!
Marko singing live is even better. The video was shot in 1 day by 2 people Had lots of practical sets. Had an article online BTS. Sadly its gone.
