I just love how she possesses the stage. It is hers 💜 And 1 second she is fairless, the other sweet as a little girl and than and strong as a Valkyrie 💜💜 Wonderful Song Debbie 💜💜 Thanks for this 💜
One of my favorites Bless the Child Voice at the beginning I was born amidst the purple waterfalls I was weak, yet not unblessed Dead to the world Alive for the journey One night I dreamt a white rose withering A newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness I dreamt all my future. Relived my past I witnessed the beauty of the beast Voice at the end Where have all the feelings gone? Why is the deadliest sin, To love as I loved you? Now unblessed, homesick in time, Soon to be freed from care, from human pain My tale is the most bitter truth Time pays us but with earth & dust And a dark, silent grave. Remember, my child Without innocence the cross is only iron, Hope is only an illusion And the ocean soul's Nothing but a name The child bless thee And keep thee forever
By ‘century child’ Tarja incarnation of Nightwish was really ‘motoring’ , ready for the definitive Tarja album ‘once’. Over half a decade later, with Annette in between, Floor gives a dynamic and freshness to the entire Nightwish songbook. So glad that you are so into and appreciative of Nightwish, but never forget that Tarja and Annette are worthy members of the total NW experience.
Floor packed everything they needed into the songs. Thanks to her versatile possibilities, many of the songs sounded perfect for the first time. Sorry Anette, but with Floor a goddess entered the Nightwish stage!
I love this song. When the band drops and Floor cames with that soft and angelic "Why am I loved only when I'm gone?"... instant full body chills. Keep enjoying, there's a lot more to do like this, Buenos Aires 2018, Tampere, and as someone suggested, Floor's own concert in Amsterdam is amazing. Cheers from Buenos Aires!!!
Hello again Debbie. Nightwish Army Phoenix subscriber back for you. I love this song. It was really funny that Floor had a costume, zipper change problem while the instrumental, Last Of The Wilds, was played. Then she had to rush on stage and actually missed her mike swipe the first time. It still worked out wonderfully. Loved it and loved your reaction.
OMG I'm truly amazed that you watched the entire show! It was almost 10 years ago in 2014, i was a 20 years old metalhead. Only information of Nightwish I had was 'They changed their original vocalist years ago'. I knew only one song of theirs, which was "She is My Sin" and that was all. Was not a fan or anything. On that awesomely random night, This show's DVD popped up on my laptop screen and i was like "eh, why not.." I watch entire live shows once or twice a year maybe. SO YEAH, 10 years later i still remember how amazed i was listening to Floor and Nightwish. I think the best word to describe how I felt is 'enchanted'. Now it is 2023 and I still have Floor's voice on many of my daily playlists.
Another nice reaction Debbie !! Did you notice how late Floor was appearing on stage ?, she was changing her outfit backstage, with her new outfit, does"nt she look like Zena the Warrior Princess !!!
To me this song always represents a musical style shift what happened to them. I remember so well what my 'reaction' was when I listened Century Child the first time and it starts with Bless the Child: "is this Nightwish?" "wtf happened?" "so dark...so heavy...so cinematic...wow! Love it!"
They actually have a whole CD that is just all music! It's the second part of the album Human. :II: Nature. It's a very beautiful more of a classic piece, dedicated to our nature. I think you'd like it 😊
Last night you was wondering if FLOOR was changing her costume, because she didn't sing in the last one. I think she did, she is wareing the out fit for ghost love score #13. Great reaction
One of my favorites. It has some of my favorite poetic lyrics from Tuomas. These are the spoken words at the beginning and ending of the song, They are difficult to make out over the music. A very profound statement on our journey of life from birth to death. Intro spoken words. “I was born amidst the purple waterfalls. I was weak, yet not unblessed. Dead to the world. Alive for the journey. One night I dreamt a white rose withering, a newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness. I dreamt all my future. Relived my past. I witnessed the beauty of the beast” Outro spoken words. “Where have all the feelings gone? Why is the deadliest sin - to love as I loved you? Now unblessed, homesick in time, soon to be freed from care, from human pain. My tale is the most bitter truth: Time pays us but with earth & dust, and a dark, silent grave. Remember, my child: Without innocence the cross is only iron, hope is only an illusion & Ocean Soul’s nothing but a name… The Child bless thee & keep thee forever”
No , you don't know this. It is the last one from this show that you have not heard before. The first song on the 2002 Century Child album. It is the 1st song Marko worked on after joining the band in 2001. It was played at End of an Era if you want to hear it with Tarja. Don't forget to breath when you listen to Romanticide. LOL.
Another blast from the past (Tarja era)!!! And for me, one of Floor's most epic Windmills (The stance and sensual movement towards the end). Plus....this song brings me back to my early teen years, when I got my Love for Metal music. NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.
I think that Floor sang Tarja's songs really well - a little different but also good. Can you imagine Tarja on stage with Floor and Nightwish? I would pay any price for this concert.

@@TimoArula I know the video, but unfortunately the sound wasn't so good. But imagine the two of them with Nightwish for a whole concert. That would be something for the history books.
Epicness right there on that stage with all the trademark Nightwish transitions and multi layering and of course Floor doing what only Floor does. Thank you beautiful lady for another smile filled reaction to this phenomenal band. 🙏😊👍❤️
notice that Floor comes almost too late on stage, she even has a malfunction on the zipper of the outfit, under her left armpit, which she solves later in the set during the interlude in Ghost Love Score....
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on! I was hoping you'd like that bit! Her voices in this one are great, loud raucous, siren like, soft gentle, strong and "delicious". Marko: "I Iike sausages!"
The spoken part at the beginning, generally hard to hear: "I was born amidst the purple waterfalls I was weak, yet not unblessed Dead to the world, alive for the journey One night I dreamt a white rose withering A newborn drowning, a lifetime loneliness I dreamt all my future, relived my past And witnessed the beauty of the beast" And the lyrics: Where have all the feelings gone? Why has all the laughter ceased? Why am I loved only when I'm gone? Gone back in time to bless the child How can I ever feel again? Given the chance would I return? Why am I loved only when I'm gone? Gone back in time to bless the child Think of me long enough to make a memory Come bless the child one more time I've never felt so alone in my life As I drank from a cup which was counting my time There's a poison drop in this cup of man To drink it is to follow the left hand path Why am I loved only when I'm gone? Gone back in time to bless the child Think of me long enough to make a memory Come bless the child one more time Think of me long enough to make a memory Come bless the child one more time Where have all the feelings gone? Why is it the deadliest sin - to love as I loved you? Now unblessed, homesick in time Soon to be freed from care, from human pain My tale is the most bitter truth: Time pays us but with earth and dust, and a dark silent grave Remember my child - without innocence the cross is only iron Hope is only an illusion and ocean soul's - nothing but a name The child bless thee and keep thee forever For some reason this has only been played 205 times...
"For some reason this has only been played 205 times" I think this songs "soul" belongs to that Tarja, Tuomas, Emppu, Marko & Jukka lineup. They always rocked like crazy this song. It was really easy to see that it was a really special song to them at that time in early 2000s.
@@ValtteL Yes that could be the reason. Shame though because it's a great song that newer fans should like to see. They need "Decade-and-a-half" tour 🙂
@@NickBR57 Most definitely. One of the best songs to show what is Nightwish's Film Music Metal. I have always thought it's almost like triangle juxtapose with Nightwish: Lead singer is one, then there is Emppu&Marko guitars that sound like some angry Finnish farmer's chainsaw and between them is Tuomas' keys which connects the two extremes together and the drums give the heartbeat.

I love it when she gets into siren mode...lol
I just love how she possesses

Wonderful Song Debbie 💜💜
Thanks for this 💜
I wish to witness Nightwish perform in Ukraine as soon as possible 👍👍👍👍
@@corneliusantonius3108
Yes, that's a beautiful wish... 🌠
Nightwish in Ukraine 🌻🫶🇺🇦
I hope so 🤍 ✌️
One of my favorites Bless the Child
Voice at the beginning
I was born amidst the purple waterfalls
I was weak, yet not unblessed
Dead to the world
Alive for the journey
One night I dreamt a white rose withering
A newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness
I dreamt all my future. Relived my past
I witnessed the beauty of the beast
Voice at the end
Where have all the feelings gone?
Why is the deadliest sin,
To love as I loved you?
Now unblessed, homesick in time,
Soon to be freed from care, from human pain
My tale is the most bitter truth
Time pays us but with earth & dust
And a dark, silent grave.
Remember, my child
Without innocence the cross is only iron,
Hope is only an illusion
And the ocean soul's
Nothing but a name
The child bless thee
And keep thee forever

Agree 100%...all leading ladies were and are of their time 🙏😊👍❤️

What a song, heavy, ethereal, dark, beautiful - everything you could ever want 🤘
Would you consider doing Floor’s entire Amsterdam Live concert song by song this same way? I’d absolutely love that!
I concur! We can add 2015 at Wembly as well.
Floor blessed the child. And the rest of us.
Nice! :)
It certainly feels like that.

A.K.A. Zipper gate!
One of my favorit songs bt Nightwish.
Hey Debbie, great reaction.
Not even a zip will stop Floor.
I knew you were going to rewind when she sang the classical bit lol
My second-favorite NW song, and (I think) Tuomas's most orchestral piece.
She just made it in time to the mic 🎤 costume change ran a little bit long , you can see its still unzippered under her left arm
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on!
I was hoping you'd like that bit!

How can I ever feel again?
Given the chance would I return?
Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
Gone back in time to bless the child
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the child one more time
I've never felt so alone in my life
As I drank from a cup which was counting my time
There's a poison drop in this cup of man
To drink it is to follow the left hand path
Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
Gone back in time to bless the child
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the child one more time
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the child one more time
Where have all the feelings gone?
Why is it the deadliest sin - to love as I loved you?
Now unblessed, homesick in time

This one and 'If I had your angel' where those 2 when I discovered Nightwish and others simphonics bands like them in 2005.
