Hello Matt Teck [ TECKreacts ] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience.
About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen [pronounced Tarr-ya] (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "
For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community
🤘
There you are. 8) Hi Gabriel! :D
Thank you SO MUCH for that history and the recommendation. There is a lot of depth with this group and I look forward to exploring it further!
Hey Gabriel hope all is well!
@@teckreactions that’s the general 🙃
@@teckreactionsI'm glad that your experience helped you appreciate the high level of the composition and interpretation of the whole band! At the end, you noticed the fans singing along with the pre-recorded choir a counter-chorus, with the same chanted words: "My fall will be for you / My love will be in you / You were the one to cut me / So I'll bleed forever..."
I hope you will continue to explore this real treasure of diamonds and pearls. With this hope, I am a new subscriber, to follow your adventure of discovery.
All the best, from Romania!
It never gets old seeing people discover Nightwish for the first time...enjoy
Thank you!
@@teckreactions NW is known worldwide but sadly not so much in N.America tho they should be mega stars worldwide,there is no band at this time that comes close to the song writing,composition, musicianship of this band and the as if that was not enough,Floor is on a level vocally all her own as will come to understand, GLS was song #13 of a 15 song headlining set the most reacted to performance on YT ever ,get this ; there are several vocal coach reactors with over 3 Million views from a single reaction to this performance,NW is the most reacted to band on YT and this pivotal standard setting concert is as well, songs to appreciate and begin your addiction to NW & Floor : StoryTime,EverDream,Ghost River,Song of MySelf & Amaranth -same concert,

Approaching 3 years down the Nightwish rabbit hole. In my 60's, love this band and never tire of them.
My favorite pass-time. 🤘😝🤘
Tears in your eyes, unknown body reactions, etcetera... It's all because of a Floorgasm.
HAHAHAHAHA!
@@teckreactions That is a word often used when reacting to NW. NW army Denmark checking in.
I’d add that it’s also the composition.
"whose this guy coming out"...that is guitarist extraordinaire Emppu Vuorinen, he was on the stage the whole time - he loves to move around the stage (sometimes running), and is never in one place for very long. His guitar skills are phenomenal, his playing always serves the song and is usually very melodic but make no mistake - when the song calls for it he is a master shredder and employs jaw-dropping tapping techniques. Emppu is known for his mischievous smile, practical jokes, throwing hundreds of picks to the audience every show, and his love of drinking Corona beer on stage.
Looking forward to more!
Emppu's superpower is his versatility. He can bring in very different kinds of guitar tones and play styles depending on what the song needs. But as all Nightwish, he plays exactly what the song needs, no more, no less, no egos involved.
@@teckreactions There'll be some great songs to witness his skills in the recommendations, like "Romanticide", but my personal favourite is their hommage to Pink Floyd's "High Hopes"... But for one or two somewhat spoilery reasons, I'd say don't get to that one right away, try at least "Everdream" and "Romanticide" beforehand 😇
@@Wolf-ln1ml : High Hopes is indeed a good piece to show what Emppu is capable of.
Emppu is *the* guitar player of Nightwish. They only have one guitarist but you never feel like the sound is missing some guitars. Some other metal bands may have up to 3 guitarists. And Troy can obviously play guitar, too, if needed.
General Gabriel Bardac of the Nightwish Army will be along presently with all the information you need.
Ha! Looking forward to it!
As retired music teacher I appreciate reactors who actually discuss the music, instruments and vocal techniques. Too many listen to the music and at the end just say something like, That was great! The former are the only ones I subscribe to. Don't expect every Nightwish song to be like this. Every song is different and each one an adventure. Apart from their most recent album, live performances are the best.
Looking forward to it!
Same, I like a bit of analysis with my reaction!
Totally agree, but their live performances are also great with latest album, we just don't have many of those in good quality (no official dvd/bluray). By far the Hellfest 2022 and two songs from the Masters of Rock 2022 are the only ones that are available in good quality. We also had Deichbrand 2022, but unfortunately our remastered version was removed, and only bad quality versions are available.
Having a musician react to music is WAY different than a non musician. LOL
We are the ones that stand at the back watching HOW they play the instruments while we cross our arms. LOL
You'll also find that bands like this, and even Black Metal bands, tend to all be classically trained.
Also, Floor Jansen (vocalist) is 6 feet tall. So, yeah, she's tall. And one of the best vocalists in existence.
They're pretty incredible.
Actually, give her an extra inch. 6'1".!
@@dalestevens3332 Not to be picky, but Floor herself has said that she's 183 cm, which is almost exactly 6 feet. 6'1" is an often repeated claim, but I think someone must have dropped the fractions when converting from the metric system.
Nightwish army here. Portugal branch 😂
♫ My fall will be for you
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I’ll bleed forever ♪
That's what it is sung behind the vocals.
It is what the guy here is singing like crazy 😃 17:20
Thanks for you reaction ! 👋
That's helpful. Thank you!
Nightwish lyrics are readily available on the internet
@@teckreactionsAnd Floor: Myyyyyyy Faaaalllllll; willl beeeeee; fooor youuuuuuUUUuuuuuu xd
That’s the version sung at the end. Earlier in the song it’s slightly different, still talking about “if you’re the one to cut me, then I will bleed forever” (probably not exactly right).
Whenever I hear this song I am full-on singing this in the background.
(Yes, I get funny looks from the people who don't know)
Song Of Myself - drums is GODNESS!
On it.
Just about to say that 😂 song of myself 🤟
Song of Myself was the next track of their performance that night after Ghost Love Score and continued to build on that energy. They were track 13 & 14 out of 15.
I would also suggest Song of Myself, same concert, the track right after this epic masterpiece...
@@teckreactions Please make sure to use the link from Gabriel's post, though, and not just the one you find that has the most views. A lot of the Nightwish videos on TH-cam are poor quality, wrong speed, and cut very short at the end, and I wouldn't want that to spoil your experience.
and thats what i will call a proper Floorgasm :) welcome to Nightwish world :)
HAHA!
Even Floor herself teared up when she did a reaction video to this performance. 😀
No way.
there have been so many reactions to GLS Wacken that she figured she'd have some fun and did one herself! her name is pronounced Yan-sen, the J is soft. She's one of the best singers I've ever heard and I've heard many of the greats, and I'm a 73-year-old musician and have heard many of the greats from multiple genres. I've heard NW in concert here in Maryland 3 times since 2015. Brilliant. At the end the refrain is "my love will be for you." The drummer here is Jukka who is now behind the scenes, replaced by his former drum teacher Kai Hahto. Both are so superb. Gabriel will be along soon to give you lot of info about NW. "Dead Boy's Poem" live in Buenos Aires is one of my many NW faves.
@@teckreactions This is "Ghost Love Score". From the singer's perspective, along with some aditional info from Floor, and how she feld about this performance. You'll love this! th-cam.com/video/QW_3F186_5Q/w-d-xo.html
@@johns20901And the “a” sound is more like “aw” instead of the twangy way we Americans pronounce it lol
Ohhhh, you are going to love the drummers with this band. This is Jukka, the first drummer with the band, who unfortunately had to quit due to severe insomnia, but is still with the band in a managerial position. His passionate expression is so great. He was replaced by Kai who is equally skilled but plays in a completely different manner. This entire band consists of extremely talented musicians who play for the song. No egos here. The mastermind behind the band is the keyboardist, Tuomas Holopainen. He composes and writes the lyrics for the majority of the music that they play and is often called the "Metal Mozart." I'm betting that you are going to continue this Nightwish journey and have subscribed to follow you on your journey.
Sad story, but looking forward to hearing and learning more.
Miss Jukka. He was absolutely astounding to watch!
Kai was personally selected by Jukka to be his replacement@@teckreactions
@@WNYretiree Absolutely no offense to Kai, but Jukka is one of my favorite drummers of all time. As a drummer/percussionist for 54 years I truly appreciate his talent.
Congrats to your first Floorgasm 🤗😊🤘
Thank you! 😁
Welcome to Nightwish. That 'guy' you keep asking about , is one of the founding members, guitarist Emppu Vuorinen. He, original lead singer Tarja Turunen, and the band mastermind, keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, started the band in 1996. Drummer Jukka Nevalainen joined in '97. Bassist seen here is the 2nd , Marko Hietala (joined 2001). Floor is the 3rd , and current singer, taking over mid tour in 2012, about 10 months before this concert. Tuomas writes and composes 90-95% of the songs. This song is a Tarja era song, from the 2004 5th album ,Once. Nope, not the closer here, song #13 of 15 at this show. Showtime/Storytime is the name of the DVD recording. The song is about an unrequited love.
Yes, the orchestra is on track, recorded with the London Philharmonic.
It is a flaming bulls head, that's the venue logo. Wacken (Vah-ken) Open Air in northern Germany, which is in cattle country. Multi day metal festival held every year , first weekend of August, in front of 80-85k fans. 82k here in 2013 for NW's headline set.
Yes, please continue, this entire show was great, try Romanticide, Storytime, or Everdream next from here.
And since you said you love symphonic music, there is another symphonic metal band recommended to check out, if you haven't heard them yet. They are called EPICA, like Nightwish they are great live, and also female fronted. Try "Code of Life" live in Amsterdam 2023 at AFAS Live, or "Consign To Oblivion" live at the Zenith in Paris.
Thank you! And thank you for the suggestions. 80K is a pretty epic crowd.
Epica is a divergent branch of the Nightwish tree. Some members performed with Floor in her pre-Nightwish bands After Forever and Revamp.
i concure 120% to Chriss(did i ever dont concur?...yore my Mantra:D) Epica is also, but very different RAbbit Hole worth to dig in , when loving symph Metal.
"I almost had tears in my eyes. I don't know why..."
That does tend to happen when it's Floor who's singing.
My body started doing things I did not expect.
I, personally, found the glory of Floor Jansen about 5 years before she joined Nightwish. I will Forever(that's a hidden joke I'd love people to get) be thankful for that to a certain prog rock composer who gave her a big part on one of his albums. I earlier only knew the powerful voice of her sister Irene.
Sadly, I can't just recommend that artist for a reaction, as the man only writes concept albums(Prog Rock Operas) and it's impossible to hear the full glory of his works from a single song. He is a masterful multiinstrumentalist and lyricist, a brilliant storyteller, and a genius at picking the right vocalist for the part in a way that will get the message across right.
Well... Even if not as reaction material for your channel... for personal enjoyment... Ayreon. My first contact with it was, The Human Equation. A brilliant album from the middle of the discography, when his signature sound has already matured and he had access to some powerhouse vocalists from multiple music genres(that particular album, a 20 day trip through the mind of a comatose patient having conversations with personifications of his emotions to understand how he got there, includes James LaBrie of Dream Theater as the main character, Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth utilizing both his smooth, chilling vocals and his deep yet intelligible growls to portray two different faces of Fear, Irene Jansen as Passion, Devin Townsend as Rage, and more). It is also the most down to earth album in a shared universe spanning eight albums so far.
Couldn't recommend anything more.
Watching anyone experiencing (and enjoying) Ghost Love Score for the 1st time never gets old. Cheers!
Thank you!
Floor does have a bit of classical training but not as much as you might think. She did 1 year of opera but she is by no means fully classically trained as many of her fans claim. It's mainly natural talent coupled with a lot of experience and hard work - she joined her first band After Forever when she was 16 and she's 43 now. An utterly mind blowing singer in my view.
Pretty incredible.
Whats crazy too is shes said herself that she doesn't even particularly like opera singing. She just knew she had the voice for it and that when she was offered the Nightwish gig she knew she could do it because of watching Tarja perform. She knew she could do it just as well if not better even though she said she doesn't like it very much and that shes more at home in that commercial metal lead singer pocket.
Even that one year does qualify her as classically trained. As someone who is, I can attest to that.
@@franzwohlgemuth2002 I think she also did 2 years or so of musical theatre training before the opera classes.
@@imrehundertwasser7094 trained vocalist, myself. Including theatre.
wellcome to the magic world of Nightwish .... great songs all over , 25 years .... Greetings from nwAse Sweden
Greetings! Looking forward to it!
SouthCentral PA Nightwish division reporting.You just litened to the greatest band with the greatest singer on this planet.The rabbit hole is endless so the army will be your guide. BUCKLE UP
I'm buckled.
Welcome to the world of Nightwish and symphonic metal. They really are a unique band; each song is different and awesome. Floor's beautiful voice reaches your heart in unexpected ways. It's always amazing watching new people discover this awesome band, specially when they know music, and I hope you continue to explore this amazing band. Hello from the NW Army Portugal.
Hola! Thanks for watching!
Glad you followed the suggestion of me and many others.
Welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole and a warm welcome from the Nightwish Army.
Gabriel was of course already ahead and gave you a very good overview of Nightwish.
Thank you! It was quite a ride.
"What have I missed".... welcome to my thoughts about 2-2,5 years ago or so.
Member of the Danish Nightwish Army joining in. Since my first experience with this song on another reaction channel that long ago, I've ended up getting all of their albums on vinyl and this particular concert on Blu-ray.
Every song is different, but everything is spectacularly thought out. Nightwish to me just hits different. I've never really been into metal, but Nightwish opened up my mind to delve into more metal, but at first mainly Symphonic Metal. This particular song sent me down the rabbit hole of Nightwish themselves, Epica and Amaranthe.
Awesome!
Similar here. Not much into typical growly metal. I have some scattered ones I like from older gen metal, like Black Sabbath. Now I adore all kinds of symphonic and folk based metal, and don't mind some growls mixed in. I have experimented singing some scattered songs in the genere, as well. Basically stuff I know I'm not going to over do it trying to get up there, although, strangely I can handle Stargazers and Come Cover Me, and outside my living room or car. I couldn't believe the guy actually had the tracks, so I thought, yup, this is an imperative 😁
@@teckreactions You should also look into Tuomas Holpainen's solo project "Music Inspired By The Life And Times Of Scrooge" and specifically "A Lifetime of Adventure" on there.
Marko Hietala's solo album "Pyre of the Black Heart" is also worth looking into, and one of the tracks on there is called "The Voice Of My Father". Well worth a listen and reaction.... And last but not least Floor's solo project/album "Paragon" released last year where both the main track "Paragon" and "Invincible" are showing off she can do pop music just beautifully.
I envy you your new journey with Nightwish. Take your time and enjoy, they have a LOT of amazing music.
Thank you! Will do!
This rabbit hole is possibly the single most worthwhile journey you could make with a musical artist. I know that's a bold statement to make but that's how I really feel...They played some more songs after this one, and had an even better one to close with...That's how good this band and this particular concert recording are...It's kinda hard to believe...
Lots of endurance.
Hello Teck.
Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish.

Great reaction..we have all been there with Nightwish discovery…I’m 72 and just discovered them a year ago and they are top of my bucket list to go from Canada to see them hopefully live in Finland when they decide to tour again 🤞🤞

There is no new guy coming out. It's just their guitarist (Emppu), walking around. :D
Ahh. He came out and greeted everyone like he was a guest.
@@teckreactions OOh, hehe. Yeah he does that sometimes. Checks on his bandmates etc. He usually is all over the stage. Hehe. :D
He is so much fun 😅
@@Asa-Maria He is! 😆
More to the truth he tends to take off their monitor earphone plugs, mess around eith them etc, he is the joker of the band he has great guitar technic and zero ego, plays what the song needs.
Hey y'all. Mr. TEKreacts is the real deal. Within one minute I knew that he's a real pro. Much respect. He picks out time sigs, in like, two progressions, can pick out keys sigs no prob. Goose bumps, tears. And he appreciates pinch harmonics!!
Oh man. Thank you for those kind words!
NW army Finland reporting💪 Glad you liked our national treasure, the rabbit hole is deep and you will enjoy every second falling into it. I would suggest their song Ever Dream as next.There you will be surprised by the bass player Marko Hietala, or what NW friends? Keep on Rockin🤘
Awesome.
Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Warrior Queen of the Valkyries, Master of the D6, Snatcher of Souls, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign.
My soul was snatched up.
This is the 13 th song of a 15 song set so stamina is amazing hence the breaks . Shout out to the drummer legendary
For real.
There she goes again! The Valkyrie Goddess snags another soul ! Great reaction!
The chior part starts out:
My fall will be for you - My fall will be for you - My love will be in you - If you be the one to cut me - I will bleed forever!
It morphs at the end to:
You were the one to cut me So I’ll bleed forever
Lyrically its one of Tuomas' more impressionistic pieces, making it best the first few listens to do what you did and listen to it as it is , a great piece of music without trying to figure the lyrics out.
Welcome to the Rabbit hole, let us know when it's Storytime!
Will do!
@@vickigebbia5524 damn autocorrect
And you shall have more, a lot more LOL. They closed with " Last Ride Of The Day " appropriately named. Welcome and enjoy tour journey. Be well.
Thanks!
There is also another member not on stage here. But his name is Troy. He is so multitalented, he is out of this world. He plays: Uilleann pipes, tin whistle, low whistle, guitars, bouzouki, bodhran and vocals. :D A track with him. Check out I want my tears back live from Buenos Aires 2019 :D
Sounds great!
@@teckreactions Yeah. 😄
@@teckreactions And also "My Walden" from their Wembley 2015 show, this song is a real showcase for Troy - he introduces the song, sings the opening bars in Welsh, and plays the Irish Uilleann pipes and low whistle. As Floor enthusiastically says during the song "Come on Troy, bring us your beautiful pipes"
@@mvellis3863 Yess, My walden too! :D
Orchestra & choir were recorded in London . There are some backing tracks but the keyboards play most of it.
Very cool
It is the London Philharmonic Orchestra, with the London Metro Voices Choir, and a Children choir. (F..k, forget the name).
@@teckreactionsWait for more Nightwish. You never find a bad Song.
There were over a hundred instruments on that backing track. The keyboard only plays the keys that Tuomas presses.
Gabriel is right. next few are:
"Storytime" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals)
"Romanticide" live at Wacken 2013 (metal)
"Ever Dream" live at Wacken 2013 (uplifting vocals)
On it.

Waiting for the general to arrive 🤨🤘🏻🎶❤️ they are called “ Floorgasms” the hair standing up on your arm 🙃
I had a few of those!
The first "my fall" giving you goosebumps... would that be considered a premature floorg... never mind. She's just that awesome. Nothing premature about it.
@@LongandWeirdName No, that's called multiple...
18:53 Funny you mention that - in this same Wacken 2013 concert the NW guitarist and drummer also do a similar kind of 'hand signal number of hits' at the end of the track "Last of the wilds"
NEAT!
Welcome to the army/family. Greetings from Finland.
Greetings! Thank you!
Don't worry we all tear up when Floor hits that crazy note.Its part of what we call a Floorgasm ! Welcome my friend to the Nightwish rabbithole, the hordes will descend upon you. Subscribed to follow your journey !!
Can't wait!
Fantastic reaction and analysis !!!!!!!!!!!! You WILL Love this band !
Thanks!
So, Trans Siberian Orchestra worked with Russell Allen. Russell Allen and Floor Jansen worked together on the projects Ayreon and Star One by Arjen Lucassen. Russell also sang on a song from Floor her second band ReVamp.
Ayreon is another rabbit hole. Fastest way to understand what it is, is the video of “The day that the world breaks down” on Arjen’s own channel.
I'm on it.
"Six Degrees of Floor Jansen" 😂
That Goosbumpy, shivery feeling that brings a tear to the eye...we call that a Floorgasm, and it's a normal mortal response to raw divinity. Floor's voice counts. Gabriel Bardac has been here, and he has the List and the Lore. Please do more....live versions, please. Nightwish is one of the few bands I prefer to hear live. This was 13th in a 15 song set for Wacken Open Air in front of more than 82,000 people. Be prepared to be amazed.
I’m prepared.
Are you sure? I don't think so
Singers sing what they can, Floor sings what she wants ❤once she sang the phonebook in a Dutch show ❤and it sound like a real song ❤her voice just touch your soul and grab your heart ❤she is one of a kind ❤
She did NOT! What?
@@teckreactions sang the phonebook in a Dutch show, just searc for Floor sing the phonebook
Sometimes You also expect Violines/ but for what/ we have Floor/ she does it!
I have to say this, the sound quality of your video is excellent, I really enjoyed it, I also like your knowledge of music, so a new sub for your channel.
Thank you very much!
Go to Wakken every year with the family,biggest metal fest in the world.We were at this and i wanted to go home early as i wasn't into Nightwish,before Floor,soooo glad we stayed for it,amazing
That’s amazing.

Nightwish Army, Scotland Division reporting. Welcome, and strap in. You are in for one heck of a ride.
I would personally go to "Ever Dream", "Storytime", or "Last Ride of the Day" (all live at Wacken); then the Tampere show with "The Islander". But hey, you'll have a good time wherever your journey takes you.
Thank you! Looking forward to more.
Well hello and Welcome, this was good fun...u wanted more...ofc there is, lots of goodies to unpack!
I saw Gabriel was already here, so u already also have a list of sorts 😅

There is also London 2015 Shudder (before the beautiful), 7 days to the Wolves and Ofc the Poet and the Pendulum...from the same tour but in Tampere Weak Fantasy, the Islander and The Greatest show on Earth...and Buenos Aires 2018...hmm Dead boys Poem, I want my tears back and Devil and the deep dark Ocean.
Tbh there are more other songs and concerts to choose from, but yeah choices...ow maybe one Yours is a empty hope from the Nightwish cruise!
This is only from Floor Jansen, there are 2 other singers, who are also a big part of the bands history, but again choices and these will keep you busy for a while 😂
Don't forget to Have fun on this epic journey and to Enjoy the tunes 🤘🎩🥰
Thanks!
"She's quite beautiful as well" 🤣 Yes. Yes, she is. 😍
Mm hmm.
You can count, and seem appreciative - I'm in! /New subscriber
Awesome! Thank you!
React to Nightwish original singer Tarja and Marko singer Phantom of the Opera it's absolutely mind blowing
Will do!
@@teckreactions And since you heard Floor with Henk doing Phantom on Beste Zangers I think, check out when they sang it together again at the Zigo Dome in Amsterdam with Nightwish.
I love witnessing people's first time reactions to Nightwish, that never gets old. I have heard this song hundreds of times and still, I get goosebumps every single time. What makes this even cooler is when the reactors are musicians themselves, like you, and show some appreciation for the composition. I really enjoyed the deep dive into the complexity of it, the time signatures, the key changes and chords and, in particular, how you picked up on the different instruments in the orchestral interlude. Many reactors ignore that, you didn't, much appreciated!
Honest and heartfelt reaction, I subscribed to see your journey with NW. I see you already got the Nightwish 101 from General Gabriel so I'm stoked to see more. Greetings from the German division of the Nightwish Army.
Looking forward to more!
You should also hear the old nightwish version of "phantom of the oprera" with their first singer tarja, just to make your nightwish related phantom journey complete
Will do
As a Nightwish fan, it took me few years to find out the actual choir lyrics on this song, it's so beautiful.
Most of their videos have subtitles, it's worth it to enable them, they add so much (not some random mainstream drivel).
Will do!
They are higher in the mix on the version Tarja sings on the end of an era show.
Best rabbit hole ever! Every song is different. Enjoy it.
Nightwish Army BC Canada
Looking forward to it.
None of the songs in this concert were written for Floor's voice.
Awesome, Matt! You are going to love Nightwish! I've been to quite a few shows, and my daughter was even presented with an electric guitar by the band about 6 years back. She's 12 now and is an accomplished pianist and plays violin in an orchestra. But I think that's one reason I like Nightwish so much is the super tightness of the band and the stage presence of having fun really reminds me of TSO. Here's her getting the guitar from the band! th-cam.com/video/bgDkG8CLWdo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MT7eWPgV4dVfJz7o
That's incredible. What an experience for her!
Actually I noticed, that your goosebumps had goosebumps....that's the effect of Floor Jansen....aka....floorgasm...😆
That’s true.
Floor is one of the rare empaths that can not only feel deeply within themselves, but is also able to project those deep feelings and emotions onto the listeners. People reacting emotionally and physically to that is called having a "Floorgasm". :)
Crazy term. That's hilarious.
Ohh you have to be careful. With your musically knowledge and background, you must take Nightwish in small doses - otherwise you will be addicted for life...😂
And don't worry, you have barely scratched the surface of Nightwish's and Floor's capabilities... - maybe 6 -7 % at most with this song.
And you have now met a fraction of the Nightwish Army - a few hundred thousand very friendly and keen fans, from all over the Universe - very eager to help you loose your soul into The Nightwish Universe.
A big welcome from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰🍀
And no recommendations - Nightwish have around 120 phenomenal songs / stories, where you can experience Floor's strathospheric voice and charisma - and get more Floorgasms (that is the official word!) - Just pick one
Wacken 2013
Tampere 2015
Wembley 2015
Buenos Aires 2018
Hellfest or Deichband 2022
Or from the album Human Nature from 2019 (dvd 2 pure classical)
And End of an Era and
From Wishes to Eternity. I’m foremost an FJ fan, but Tarja should be appreciated as well.
Already hooked and want more!
the choir in the back sings :
"My fall will be for you.
My love will be in you.
You were the one to cut me.
So I’ll bleed forever."
Interesting.
Symphonic rock is my favorite style. I recommend Within Temptation, Epica, Beyond the Black, and Ad Infinitum
Love it
Versatile, isn't she? Keep in mind, Floor and the rest of the band are expressing the thoughts and feelings of Tuomas Holopainen (keyboardist). If you are going down the Nightwish Rabbit Hole, you might as well go all the way. Give a listen to "The Life and Times of Scrooge". 10 tracks/54 minutes of music inspired by Scrooge McDuck, music and lyrics by Mr. Holopainen.
Then take time to watch Nightwish's movie, "Imaginaerum". Floor isn't in the movie. The previous singer, Annette Olzon, is in the movie. It is an intersting view of dementia, mixed in with the complications of familial relationships. There is a very graphic scene of a suicide, so be warned.
Anyway, I have come late to the party, but better late than never.
Welcome to the party. You are in for a good time.
There's a movie?! Crazy.
I concur. Also for a more classical piece from Tuomas, check out:
The long orchestral work in the last Nightwish Human::Nature album is called:
All the Works of Nature that Adorn the World.
th-cam.com/video/RnOdQ5WNZJk/w-d-xo.html
This video is 30+ min of beauty of Tuomas' gorgeous music in multiple parts, with a fan created video, ending with Ad Astra.
It is absolutely beautiful visually and musically. It will really make you see and feel the beauty of the world in which we live.
Tuomas created this music for Orchestra and choir vocals with some contributions from Troy ( pipes) and Floor (vocals with the choirs). No lyrics, just music.
This fan made video is approved by Nightwish, and edited to perfection to match the musical mood in each part ( titled sections) of the piece. Nightwish did release their own video for the last part called Ad Astra which is also good to view.
Ad Astra was being used to close each concert on the recent tour. Floor ends it with her amazing soaring vocals.
Nothing I can really add that hasn’t already been said elsewhere, but gotta say hi anyway. lol. Your reaction was eerily similar to my first hearing them about 8 years ago. I too am a musician (brass, piano, bass, and guitar) so I love seeing other musicians really experience the majesty that is Tuomas’ compositions. Dude is one of the best composers/songwriters of this century and so little known because their music is kinda niche.
As far as what the song means/is about, my interpretation is that it’s mourning a love that has been set aside or thrown away. Reminiscing on the good times, railing against the bad times, and basically just paying homage to love that has become a ghost of its self.
Looking forward to more!

Thanks for the suggestions!
Love it... A Christian musician being overwhelmed by the most outspokenly atheist band in the world. Choir and orchestral parts were pre-recorded in London - I think it was the London Sessions Orchestra. Individual choirboys are featured on some other songs.
Music is a universal language.
Congrats on your first Floorgasm! Once you have your first Floorgasm, you’ll need more, like drugs. 😉
Ha!
Floor went to the Dutch rock academy and then studied opera and musical theatre. That was a burning cow it was a festival in Germany in a cattle town.
Oh wow.
Not Orlando Bloom on drums but Jack Sparrow on the keyboard. Great reaction!
HA!
Hi Matt, i loved to see your reaction video of Nightwish. For me they are the best band in the world 😍 I also have another recommendation for you. If you like surprises and prog music, then try this masterpiece of our Dutch genius Arjen Anthony Lucassen with 11 awesome singers (I won't spoil who they are, but i think you will recognize some of them 😉): Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down. Here is the link to the video: th-cam.com/video/oFuMKdrzPqU/w-d-xo.html
You will be blown away by all the talented musicians and singers! You won't be dissappointed....I PROMISE! Hope to see your reaction to this masterpiece soon and for now....Greetings, stay safe and lots of love from The Netherlands, Martin.
Thanks for the recommendations, Martin!
No thanks. You will love it, especially from a musician point of view. The drummer, Ed Warby, is also amazing. He's like a human drumcomputer with a lot of feel in his playing.
Siguiente... EPICA - consign to oblivion , la bateria es una locura!
Yeah, who would have thought that a classical style soprano voice and metal instrumentation would go together? Yet it works brilliantly. That's why I love this band.
Brilliant indeed 🤘🏻
I think it’s time for a little story. It’s definitely Storytime. Same Wacken 2013 live concert. Enjoy!
On it
Another soul carried away by our Valkyrie goddess. The rabbit hole is deep but worth the dive. Floor can sing anything from opera to death growls. This is just the beginning. Enjoy the ride. New sub here.
Thanks for hopping in!
Great reaction Teck! This is from the Wacken (the "W" is pronounced like a "V") Open Air Festival in Wacken, Germany in 2013. I was introduced to Nightwish in 2022. The first one I heard from them was also from this concert. Please check it out. It's called "Storytime". It's my favorite NW song and I think you'll quickly find out why. "Ghost Love Score" was the second NW song I heard. It's truly amazing. Rock on brother! Enjoy the journey! Btw, Floor is married to a drummer named Hannes Van Dahl. He plays for Sabaton, a Swedish heavy metal band. You should check them out too. All of their songs are history-related. They're practically the Swedish version of Iron Maiden! Their song "1916" would be a good start. Hope this isn't a big info overload for you.
Looking forward to more!
Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!!!! YOU WERE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!
I. Was. Not.
You should see Yannis Papadopoulos cover of this song. He is just insane. INSANE!
On it!
Im so glad you checked them out :D
Me too!
Another Finnish really epic metal band is Wintersun. I recommend Wintersun - Time (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios) REMASTER version. Actually Drummer and Bassplayer are both now playing Nightwish and Guitarist is now member of Megadeth. This band can play and all are top of their game and well known worlwide.
Awesome
Thank you, greetings from Finland🇫🇮👋!
Hello there! Thanks for watching.
Subscribed... This will be a ride I want to see. Finally somebody, who understands and feels music. Enjoy your NW journey
Thank you!
"I've got goosebumps"
AS YOU SHOULD, SIR
🤣
You want more ? Just take anything , every time different, always good
On it!
Yes, that's a track in the background. They couldn't get the London Philharmonic to perform there live, so, you know, it's a recording of them. :)
I love it.
@@teckreactions You might find on YT videos for "the making of".
Also "Please learn the set in 48 hours", a real eye-opener.
The burning bull head is the logo for the Wacken Open Air Festival. There are multiple key changes in this song. Emppu is the heart of Nightwish. Although, Tuomas (keys) is the main composer of the music and lyrics of Nightwish.
I agree. The oboe is beautiful. Yes, it is a backing track of the London philharmonic symphony with a full choir as well.
You will see Emppu (guitarist) give the 10 signal to end of of their instrumental songs during this show. So much more epic music to experience. Gabriel, below, will provide you with all you need to know and many great links for additional reactions. Hope to see you again very soon Teck! Please react to the opener from this show, "Dark Chest of Wonders". I am interested in the time signatures of this amazing track. See link below. Turn on cc for the lyrics. th-cam.com/video/mzcy3a9q8_0/w-d-xo.html - 🎼 NIGHTWISH 🎶 Dark Chest Of Wonders 🎶 Live At Wacken 2013 ☢ FULL HD - CORRECT SPEED with Lyrics ☢
The backing choir part is as follows.
First 2 chorus
My fall will be for you
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I will bleed forever
Outro chorus
My fall will be for you
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I’ll bleed forever
Awesome. Thanks for that.
The song is actually 20 years old, and they don't close with it.
They close with "The Greatest Show on Earth".... It's over 20 minutes long.
The Live at Tempre is the best version.
It feels like a great closer.
You're going to have so much fun with nightwish. I recently spent a weekend with a dear friend of mine who I hadn't seen outside of like a gig etc in 15 years. She's like I don't know any new music so we went on a journey. She cried, laughed & said she feels like she knows Floor but doesn't know why. It was so cool to introduce her to the music of nightwish as well as Floor doing her solo stuff
Can't wait!
I absolutely love watching people react to Floor/Nightwish for the first time. And I get goosebumps EVERY time I listen to NW.
If your daughter is into Disney, Floor did a version of "Let It Go" that's pretty stellar
Oh, we're watching that!
How was your first Floorgasm! Hi from Sydney. 😉 🤘🤘🤘
I want another.
🤗🍒🤘🏻 well done and welcome to the Nightwish Family
Thank you!! 😁
I have now subscriibed because ..... well, Nightwish!!!!! However, more to the point, you give more info than the "Oh, I like that!", or "That is incredible!". I love finding out more about the music itself. The background stuff, if you will. And besides, you said you will be listening to a lot more Nightwish stuff!! You have a lot to listen to. They have been around a loooooong time. I, too, am a recent devotee having found Ghost Love Score only a couple of years ago. A great song to finish a set is "Last Ride Of The Day", appropriately enough. I'm looking forward to more from you.
Me too!
