Poets of the Fall - Late Goodbye (Live w/ Lyrics) 

Darth Medjai amen

"Past is a gaping hole. The more you run away from it, the more it grows behind you " - Max Payne

I stumbled across these guys when I was playing the video game called Max Payne 2. That was back in I don't know it was either 2001 or 2003. I remember hearing a janitor coming and like chopping up the lyrics fucking it up pretty bad in the video game and I thought it was interesting the lyrics that is.. And then I heard later in the game some more of the quote-unquote bad guys playing it on a piano. And when I finally beat the game I actually got to hear the song during the credits and I was hooked immediately. I mean those were back... That was like right after the original. I've had my digital copy of late goodbye... Like the original version when it was released the first time for the game.. I've had that copy as a digital file... For I would have to say two decades now almost exactly two decades. for those of you that are not really familiar with the music and you've just stumbled across all of this listen to me very very carefully because this is important. If you want to experience with these boys are truly about.. Don't bother with searching for individual songs just go up to the top of the RU-vid page that you're currently on and in the search bar type the following exactly as I type it... Poets of The Fall Alexander Theater Sessions. It should give you the option to listen to the entire album. It is in a beautiful very old indoor theater in Helsinki Finland. There on the stage it's entirely acoustical. They're playing to an audience that's not there. All the seats are empty. And there's a music video for the entire album every song has its own music video. And they bring in a string quartet that goes by the name of cryosis for I think three or four of the songs. It's my personal opinion that if you don't go search for that right now.. You are doing yourself a serious disservice. And if you're not in a good mood... That album will Purge it right out of you. If you're not in a good mood you can expect the tears to come and they will. I'm a forty-three-year-old father-of-five daughters... Had a hell of a life including three deployments in Afghanistan. It takes quite a bit to bring tears to my eyes but when I listen to that album... It did several times. Most of the songs I had already heard countless times. One in particular that had me babbling like a baby was the song called, Children Of The Sun. It is hauntingly beautiful. Like every single song that's not one hundred percent happy... This one is one hell of an emotional roller coaster. Some of the best vocals you'll ever hear from this band are on that album. And it's interesting because I found out that the songs are numbered specifically for a reason but they won't tell us the reason. And it's not song one or track when I think they call it act 1 act 2 etc etc. if ever there was a 100% of 2 stickle album that would redefine the definition of perfect.. It's the Alexander theater sessions by poets of the Fall. I'll tell you that band is a godsend musically to humanity. I have purged a lot of distress and depression out of me listening to them over the years. And no matter what situation you're in in life good or bad... There's a damn fine chance you're going to find a song by them that will reflect probably very very very closely to whatever it is that you're going through. Especially if it comes to loss and love. Yeah that's a rough topic for some but anyway.. thank you for reading my ramp. Go check out the album... Seriously go check it out. Just humor me I promise you you will not be disappointed. Stay safe out there, and God bless. 🙏

One more thing to the gentleman that or woman whichever.. to whomever put the original comment that started this thread... I'm going to back up what you say 1 million percent. This is real talent. This is real music. There's no beatboxes there's no pre-recorded anyting. These boys are just as good life as they are on any album. And most bands can't even hold a candle to what these fellows can do live. And make sure to check out the song called rogue. I know some of you reading this have no idea what I'm talking about so in addition to the Alexander theater sessions check out the song rogue. Preferably one of the 3 dozen live versions that are out there. 🙏

Not any art is POTF. But ever POTF is art. These guys are in heart forever. Sadly that I never was on their concerts.

@@NortheastSurvival911 I gotta show appreciation for you taking the time out for the max Payne to reference this shit had me in a chokehold😂😂😂😂😂😂

11 year ago much greater !

NEVER!

Cant forget..

She was desd... But its allright...

And it will never get old...

One of the best video game chemistry.. and the game was so well made it felt like reading the comics while being a part of it.. best graphic novel style game

Underrated comment.

And the game Max Payne had this same song at the end titles.. That was almost 20 years back.

It ended in a beautiful sunset in max payne 3

@@axelcity3949 it continued in the daytime

did you play Max Payne 2

@@fatiht8863 Yes. The moment i finished max payne2, this song came up and damn!!! I couldn't stop listening to it.

@@casualgamer5599 An excellent memory. And when I was a kid I told my dad to buy this game, yesterday my brother bought it from a pirate cd store. I played it in an amateur way and died constantly thanks to my childhood. This year downloaded it and finished it but I am a bit regretful that I finished this masterpiece late, I wish I had finished it in 2000's like you.

@@fatiht8863 thats nice. I wish they made a remastered version of both MaxPayne 1 and 2. Would love to play them once more.

@@casualgamer5599Finnaly it's happening Dude, Rockstar and Remedy both coming up with the remake of both games I'M SUPER DUPER EXCITED TO REPLENISH MY MEMORIES

good ol' days

Nostalgia's finest

Absolutely bro...flashbacks❤️

I agree!

Shashank Singh Watched them in Kolkata and went to Bangalore to watch them in 2015.... Although the sound system was miserable to say the least... Yet i enjoyed it.... The Kolkata concert will be their best ever in opinion.. the sound was impeccable and the crowd was awesome... I had the pleasure of watching them from 10 feet only... In front of Olli.. ☺

Sayan Kundu why don't they come to delhi too

love from India.. This song has been mine fav since I've heard it..

You're in luck. They're coming to NH7 weekender meghalaya this November

I live in the states, how do you think I feel lol

They pressed dislike because they felt bad not being on the actual gig, right?

Наверно не всем дано почувствовать прекрасное!

He's not Marko. He's Vladimir "Have no fear, Vlad is here" Lem.

Yes

Seeing Mona live i was just scared

Simran Singh a perfect blend of poetry and music.

Me too man,I heard this song six years ago and since then I've been obsessing myself with its words and notes. Same thoughs about the meaning,I'd like them to release band's take on the meaning of this and other songs,but mostly Late Goodbye

ve0991lja That’s nice to hear. Are u passionately into Philosophy?

Simran Singh Yes,and I've been for my whole life. Things in life,like this song,are huge triggers for me

Awesome. We should have a chat about that sometime. :)

MONA SAX

увы хорошо уже не будет, мы все просрали(((

Bro. That’s deep. ❤ love you.

It's so powerful

Yes... It did. There Is a Max Payne 3 and It seems that there Will be a remake of Max Payne 2.

same

"Max, Dearest of all my friends'

​@Ivan Medarev i'll go smart guy, Any advice?

If you stop and look closely, the Vocalist is Vlad! He is the face of Vladmir Lem in the first Game! So I find it difficult that he doesn't like his own music.

NO I liked it

@@vladimirlem1104 My bad Vladimir, my bad...

You're late old man Sorry 😅 just kidding You're never too late to enjoy some music

I'm really old but I say go play the video game Max Payne 2 to understand the music...it runs through the game.

Nostalgia's finest
