Gave me chills all over, this band is the love of my life and is criminally underrated.

[triparnapal]

They say the band is underrated. Maybe it's true. But the fact remains that they have a very loyal and devoted fanbase. They don't need to go around proving themselves to everyone.

The piano
The lyrics
The acoustics
The voice
The feelings
The gods are jealous of us

[Zhuravliov]

Me: Have plans
Poets: Here's a new video
Me: To hell with plans

[DonPetrushka]

One of the most brilliant voices in modern rock era

[Nukinator]

I wasn't expecting Jealous Gods but it's definitely a welcome expectation.

[shamikmukherjee]

I get goosebumps everytime I listen to this band. This song. The rendition. Marko's voice. The lyrics. Everything is mesmerizing. ❤️

[amrishjaiswal]

Can you feel the void between us
Nothing there but light, yet it seems like the weight of the world
Keeping us here in the dark
If I allow our blessings define us
Bearing the scars of our loss like it's all we deserve
When passions we hold will depart

If I could build a bridge between us
Arcs of soaring rainbows
Strength of mother earth
Would it fill our hearts

If I instilled a faith to guide us
Blind and sweet like free flow
A seed in every word
Could we lose the facades
Are we just jealous gods

With every wall ablaze around us
Calling out your name like it's now and never surrender
Victory is yours to claim
By every trick of light by sleight of hand
That makes a miracle reality right where you stand
They got their claws in good and deep
So you see there ain't no placing the blame

And so I'll build a bridge between us
Arcs of soaring rainbows
Strength of mother earth
For a brand new start

And instil new faith to guide us
Blind and sweet like free flow
With every single word

We won't go down as frauds
Like jealous gods
Like jealous gods
We are the perfect flaws
Perfect with our flaws
Just jealous gods
Just jealous gods
We're the perfect flaws
The perfect flaws

I can sense your apprehension
Fear for naught for I'm here and I'm made of your love
Found in the quick of things

And we can walk the bridge between us
Arcs of soaring rainbows
Strength of mother earth
Let it fill our hearts

And instil a faith to guide us
Blind and sweet like free flow
There's a joy for every hurt

Forgiveness in the flaws
Even for jealous gods

[sagarmehra]

That voice requires a piano player of a similar level. No wonder they create magic.

[paul.vanderl]

I'm hoping there is an album coming out for these sessions. I'd snap up a FLAC or vinyl copy in a heart beat.

[feuerraider]

Великолепная песня, потрясающее исполнение... Спасибо, Поэты! Мы любим вас! ❤

[CamillaDrakenborg]

Saw them in Stockholm last year. What a show. Still living on the experience this year, thankfully lol Anyone that gets a chance to see them live one day, just do it, no regrets :)

[gabiruman]

The worst part of these series is that there's only 3 songs left... I would love to see a version of every song in this format, it's beautiful.

[juanjuanero]

Really appreciate that this band is still singing their songs, making them feel organic by playing them live.

[satuvartiainen]

Nämä pianobiisit menee kaikkien kerrosten alle... Ihana! ❤️

[sokh]

There's nothing more joyful for me to turn on my phone and see the YouTube notification of new Alexander Session! Never get tired of listening to Poets of The Fall💙

[shivamjain]

@4:48, you'll go into another dimension. 😌🖤

[ralenkhlaalu]

Народ! Уже не первый раз сталкиваюсь с такими комментариями: ах, у Марко такой чистый голос, как у ангела ) О божечки! Ми-ми-ми ))) Да не чистый он у него! Марко - вообще - мировой рекордсмен по издаванию самых разных звуков! Он может петь и чистым голосом, и с хрипотцой, а там, где это необходимо, рычать, как волчище или наоборот, чувственно шептать - и от этого шёпота (я знаю) у вас цикады внизу живота канкан отплясывают ))) Суметь спеть одну и ту же ноту - множеством разных способов и с различными обертонами - вот истинное вокальное искусство! И Марко в этом - Бог! Сатана! Да кто угодно!!! А вы - ангел-ангел... скукотища....

[seasirena]

What is not to like...in a time where vocals powered by breathy passion and harmony at mathermatical fingertips resonating together in what is a universal frequency called a language of music...we live now where all this musical mastery is replaced by a computer. What is not to like...the effort involved in these musicians or a fact that one needs a power point to make song. True power comes from within...keep it real...stay true...all you need is within Mezmerise” A poem by Sea Sirena.

it can turn my 4*4 room to heaven..just one day I want to touch your hands MArkO!!!blessed!!!
