Hi there. Enjoyed you reaction to this song. If you intend to look into more Nightwish songs, do yourself a favor and also check out older songs of Nightwish with their first singer Tarja Turunen. You'll experience an equally good but stylistic different, even more operatic singer. Look for the live versions of the 2005 End of an Era concert of Nemo, Ever Dream, The Kinslayer, Phantom of the Opera, and Sleeping Sun. Or if you want to dig deeper into that band's past, check out videos of their From Wishes To Eternity concert 2000. Songs like Walking In The Air, Dead Boy's Poem (!), Deep Silent Complete, and Come Cover Me are epic. Btw, you'll also find live versions of these last three songs with their current singer Floor Jansen.
The lead voice is Floor Jansen, but I would not say it's a female led band. The actual leader of the band is the keyboard player, Tuomas Holopainen, who writes, composes and arranges the music. Floor is their third vocalist and the most versatile. She participated in a show called Beste Zangers (Best Singers) where she performed Opera in German (Vija Lied), Rock Ballad in Spanish (¿Que se siente?), musical theater (Phantom of the Opera), ballad (Shallow), and she also has a few songs with her previous band and with Nightwish where she makes the deep growl of death metal. Tuomas has made new arrangements to songs previous to Floor (like this one) and written new songs taking advantage of her impressive versatility. Marko, (who unfortunately left the band to take care of his health) is also a great singer. You can check "The Islander" at Tampere, or "While your lips are still red" at Wembley, to listen Marko in the lead vocal and Floor in the second voice. They were a great team.
Hi Ty! Congratulations on your first Floorgasms! Welcome to the Nightwish Army! Please don't pay attention to the naysayers who critique YOU in the comments. You loved the music, that's all that matters :) Tuomas is using synth keyboards, the pipes are set dressing.
@@quecksilber457like 82nd swedish band is singing about an American in a war between Germany and UK in France.. the most popular concert is in Norway.
The orchestral parts are played by the London philharmonic orchestra on a backing track , they also have the Metro choir singing on some tracks . Gabriel Bardac the General of the Nightwish army will be along soon to give all the info to this superb band , welcome to the rabbit hole that is Nightwish.
@@jimharris367was gonna comment the same thing yes Tuomas does play some of the orchestra parts from the keyboard, but much of it remains as the backing track
This isnt Once. This is Wakken 2013. I could be wrong but I believe I read they re-recorded all orchestral tracks once they _did_ get the London Philharmonic. If so, at this performance it would be LPO on the orchestral parts.
Nightwish Army North Texas division reporting for duty. Welcome to the wonderful world of Floor Jansen and Nightwish. Symphonic metal at its best. For the part you asked about, Tuomas was playing the string sounds on the keyboard, but they also use recorded backing tracks of symphony and choir elements. It’s a rabbit hole worth exploring.
Hey Tyler. Thanks for reacting to my recommendation. I knew it would be something you'd appreciate 😀and it's good to see how enthousiastic it made you. There's a lot more to enjoy, believe me. They will take you on an epic journey, which will never get boring. I think I'll leave it at this for now, as so many other people in the comments will give you plenty of information. One tip though; have a look at Gabriel Bardac's comment. There's a lot of background information for you to read as well as a long list with song suggestions. Enjoy! See you soon, greetings from the Netherlands.
Great reaction to great and unique band! Nightwish plays symphonic metal and each and every band member is highly talented & tight group. They really love and live the music ❤️ The band is from Finland, current vocalist Floor Jansen is Dutch and sings GLS in English. She actually handles 6-7 languages ( including Finnish, which is pretty difficult) Happy weekend and greetings from Finland 🇫🇮
I hear the army approaching. Something tells me that you are going to be getting a lot of Nightwish requests... Much love from the Nightwish army in New York 🤗
I know what you mean about the solo. Like Eric Clapton, Empuu, the guitarist, is a master of 'Just the perfect amount, and not a note more', he only shreds when it's appropriate. Some of the orchestral instruments are being played by Tuomas on the 3 keyboards behind those pipes, but the entire London Symphony Orchestra is playing on a backing track. The London Metropolitan Voices choir is also helping. The genre is symphonic metal, and Nightwish does not mess around...
Welcome to Nightwish and our 6'1 Valkyrie Godess Floor Jansen. When Gabriel makes a visit, follow his advice on all things Nightwish, and you can't go wrong. Nightwish Army North Florida Airborne Div reporting in. Enjoy the rabbit hole. Over 82,000 at this concert.
Get ready for the Nightwish Army! This is a definite rabbit hole you want to go down! Excellent music and all different. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Buckle in!!!🎸🤘
Floor Jansen the Dutch Goddess of metal is a classic trained and professional voice coach with at least 20 plus years experience and can do anything from death metal growling to high opera notes and different styles and languages, she is married to the drummer of the band Sabaton 😀
- you should know by now she is not classically trained… stop copying your incorrect message and place it under every Nightwish reaction video you can find…
Nice reaction. Floor really took this song to another level. Met this band when Tarja Turunen the first singer was singing this, the whole album is amazing, Dark Chest Of Wonders, I Wish I Had An Angel, Nemo, Planet Hell and this song are my favorite. Anyway I'm pretty you'll get the help of Nightwish army flooding in your comment box to fill you with their best songs and live performance.🤘🔥
Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Gabriel Bardac entered ! Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora. Floor Jansen is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy. Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6). She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot. Plus, huge vocal nerd 😉. Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg with classmates Jacqueline Govaert and Danny Vera, where she graduated in 2003. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016. From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon (Second singer of Nightwish after Tarja) as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour (And she had to learn the set list in 48h). On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020. And the Grandmaster of Nightwish is : Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish). Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration. There are two London based choirs too on the backing track, the other one is a children's choir. And of course with a synth you can do a lot. This was recorded at the 2013 Wacken (pronounced Vahken) Open Air festival in Germany in front of an audience of 82,000 people. The fiery bull head is the symbol of the festival. We hope, that there is more coming🤘😎🤘.
Wow. Can’t believe I’m one of the first to comment. But Hi!!! From the VA First Battalion of the Nightwish Army. You should probably brace for impact! Don’t worry too much, we’re a pretty friendly and diverse bunch. Two things: 1. You should totally do the Fan Friday idea. It’ll help expose you to so much more music! But get used to longer-ish songs, especially from the metal crowd. 2. If you would like to continue your Nightwish journey in specific, shortly there will appear in your comments a man named Gabriel Bardac. He’s the unofficial General and welcome crew to all those who venture into Nightwish’s 25+ years of music. He’ll give you a list of the highlights, which you can peruse in any order. Other than that, welcome! Be prepared to get a bunch of requests for side projects of the band members as well as their spouses’ bands/ projects in some cases. It’s a great big beautiful world of Metal that’s yours for the enjoying! Cheers!
Hallo TYLR 😊, so you stepped into the rabbithole leading you to a whole new world: the wonderland of NIGHTWISH! Take care: HIGHLY CONTAGIUS and ADDICTIVE! It's not some band, not some songs, it's an adventure! Follow Gabriels list and Martines suggestions and you won't get lost. Welcome the Army and enjoy the ride down the GHOST RIVER! Greetings from Germany🤗 and parkinson's sucks⚘ and EMPPU RULES 😎🤘 alex
Nightwish Army Canada section checking in. Yup, Nightwish is super cool and have so much more to offer. Subscribed now, because I have the feeling you'll be reacting to more of the best band in the world. Nightwish with Floor Jansen on vocals is the ultimate listening/viewing pleasure. Cheers. 🍺
I loved your comment about Emppu's "emotional guitar solo". Yes, Emppu can SHRED, and when the piece dictates he'll let you know about it. That's the thing, these world class musicians know that the composition and how it's crafted is the star. Each gives for their part EXACTLY what the composition needs. Nothing more, and certainly nothing less.
Hello TYLR. Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands. Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish. They are from Finland. And they make Symphonic Metal. What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do. Nightwish really hits you in your heart. And that's what makes this band so unique. Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch. There were 82,000 people there. I happily refer you to Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon) for a list with lots of song suggestion. Watch out for the Nightwish Army. Greetings from the Netherlands.
And i still don't get why they didn't won Eurovision (back than) ! (Which is something big here.) Why ? I don't get it. Tuomas is a great Artist, Songwriter...they would have deserved it.
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish. This is one of the most epic live performances EVER. The singer is a Dutch singer/songwriter and vocal coach Floor Jansen, the best singer in the world (IMHO). The band is from Finland, as l'm too. Glad you liked and greetings from the snowy and freezing Northern Finland! ⛄💀👍
Hmm... a Duits singer for a band from Funland performing at the Whacken festival in the country of Deutschmark? That's too much for ma little brain. Terminal system failure. I must have missed the mandatory daily injection of Flooride.🤪
For epic live performances by NW, my favourites are ”I want my tears back” in Buenos Aires 2018 (some list the year as 2019) and ”The greatest show on earth” in Wembley 2015. I know many prefer Tampere, but for me the outro in Wembley is priceless. 🇫🇮
@@syncacct8576 Both are great, and l said "one of...". The BA show took place 30.8.2018. The 'Decades' cd/dvd/bluray released 6.12.2019 (lndependence Day of Finland), and it was the first live album, which topped the Finnish charts. ⛄👍
Best vocalist on the planet. This concert was all "covers" since she was only 10 months with Nightwish and joined mid-tour. Stick with it and you will reach the new stuff written for her skills. For this ...100% in english. Watch again with sub-titles. The parts you coukd not understand are single words and phrases extended in entire bars. Like ...Myyyyyyyy yyyyyyy Faaaaaaaaa aaaaalllll wiiiiiii iiillllllllll beeeeeeeee forrrrrr orrr Yooooooo oooooouuuuuuu.
You have finally encountered *Floor Jansen*, also known as the Dutch Valkyrie Goddess of the Nightwish Army, Honored Citizen of the Amazonians, Sole Creator of all Floorgasms, Empress of Empathy & Enchantment, Top Commander of the Windmill Hurricane Society, as well as Undisputed Queen of Metal music. Here she is simply singing in English, but lyrics by Nightwish are not your typical "I love you, you love me" texts, they are a bit more eloquent. Besides that, Floor Jansen has pretty good articulation and dictation for a rock/metal singer. Next time perhaps enable the subtitles? Also, this was song #13 from 15 during this concert, so there is nothing wrong with her vocal quality and her stamina.
Your music reaction has summoned the Nightwish army from Germany. Welcome to the community and your first encounter. Nightwish is an incredibly talented und experienced band from Finland, with lead singer Floor Jansen (dutch). To your question: The songs are written in English, although some lyrics are sung very operatic.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal. The violin sound you were hearing and the instruments building up in the interlude are a prerecorded track performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. The London Metro Voices choir are the backing choir.
Well at least in Dutch, German, Swedish, Finnish, English, Latin, Spanish and Italian - more or less (I don't know what Floor is learning this week 😁) She is phenomenal
They have an orchestra and a choir on this track, the keyboard can't really play every sound you hear😅Tuomas, the keyboardist, writes almost all of the music and lyrics, orchestrations included. He's a genius for putting such different elements together in a meaninful way. She's singing in English, the long frases in the chorus say "My fall will be for you"
Actually the keyboard itself is able to play all the sounds you hear, every sound can be precisely emulated or sampled to come out of the keyboards, tuomas just doesn't have enough hands to play them all😅
Glad you enjoyed it so much! I particularly liked your appreciation of Emppu's guitar solo, some people dismiss it because he's not shredding. (He _can_ shred, but only does it when appropriate - the needs of the music always come first.) Nightwish are an amazingly varied band, I suggest sticking to the first few songs from Gabriel's list to start with just to get some sense of their variety even within one concert, though the order you react to them doesn't really matter. Once you've done a few more we'll probably get a sense of what to recommend that will suit you particularly. Save the other big songs (Poet and the Pendulum, Greatest Show on Earth) for some way down the line - it's best to have a few more under your belt first. Enjoy the rabbithole!
Hi Michigan here, He gets the assignment 😁😁😁. Love to see REAL appreciation for All tyes of REAL ,music, not bubble gum, pop or commercial, this video brings a watery eye every time,I will subscribe. The ARMY! Gains another true Soldier!!!
There's no fans blowing, a valkyrie's hair moves like that all the time, on stage, when carrying fallen warriors to Valhalla, when doing groceries, ... 🥰😄
Yay Nightwish! Please do more; they are Amazing. Every song is different and always performed super. Subbed in hopes of more. Nightwish Army BC Canada 🙂🙃😊 Suggestion: Perhaps Storytime next from the same show. It's English lmao. Just drawn out words - the section you stopped at was "My Fall will be for you" Emppu, the guitarist, always crafts his guitarwork to serve the song or the melody. He shreds when it needs it or does a subdued one if it serves the music and feel of the song. This was 13th in the , they needed a short break to push for the end. :) Tuomas plays some of the orchestral parts through his keys ( you can see in the one section, him playing it), and the rest of the orchestration is backing tracks recorded in London by a Symphony.
Hello, li like this Reavction. Floor and her Brothers in Nightwish are awesome. The Keyboarder, Tuomas Holopainen is the genius ,who composed and writ the poets in 95% of all Nightwish Songs. Greetings from nothern Germany. 🤘
Normally, I wait for a few reactions before I sub, but your clear appreciation of this epic band, breaks the norm! Believe it or not, you have only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg from the horizon when it comes to what this band can do. You are now on the precipice of the deepest rabbit hole in music, take the dive and enjoy the ride! Nightwish Army Arizona Division checking in. 🌵🇺🇲
Yes!!! WV Division of the Nightwish Army reporting! You finally got to Nightwish! Best band on the planet. Please just continue this journey. You will not be disappointed with the metal Mozart, Valkyrie Goddess Floor, and the rest of the most amazing band!! 🫶🏼🤘🏼
Greetings from the Nightwish Army (Sydney, Australia Brigade). Welcome to the world of Nightwish. Doing your first Nightwish reaction is a bit like that scene from The Matrix. If you don’t do another reaction, you take the blue pill, and wake up nice and warm in your bed. However, if you do more reactions, you take the red pill and get to see just how far the Rabbit Hole actually goes. It is so much worth the journey to take the red pill and experience all that this fantastic band has to offer. You will be in good hands with many of the other posters (especially Gabriel). Just take their suggestions on board, sit back, and enjoy the ride. You will be forever changed by the experience.
3rd GA divsion checking in. Rush Pink Floyd, Boston 80s progressive rock fan. Found Nightwish a little over a year ago. Something new/current that was so progressive and intricate. They and their reactions are now my playlist.
13:45 Tuomas (the keyboard player) is using 2-4 Korg keyboards on the stage depending on the tour and he's playing a lot of the melodies but the orchestra backgrounds are real live orchestra recordings. For this tour, he had 3 keyboards and he plays different instruments via those keyboards live. The band plays according to click track to keep in sync with the orchestra playback during the gigs.
Another reactor once gave the perfect response after first hearing this performance...they said, (paraphrasing) "It would have been a sin to live my life without ever seeing this performance!". I have to agree.
Nightwish Army reporting from Canada! Welcome to Nightwish! I loved your reaction! Just genuine happiness and it made me smile watching you! Congrats on hitting 15k subs! Glad I'm now one of them! 💙 Can't wait for more! 😁
Not a piano! Keyboards!!! The heart of Nightwish. The computers and midi's are what makes all of the background music. All run by the mastermind genius of Tuomas! He is the founder of this awesome band and wrote everything! (Almost everything.) He actually let me sit with him at breakfast the morning of the Stuttgart concert!!! Didn't waste time with photos or autograph...just wanted to be his buddy for a moment. Lasted 15 minutes, but I will never forget it!!!
Nightwish Army Germany reports for Duty: Great Reaction !! I think our Queen captured another soul….:-) It never gets old to see people freeze when our Queen starts to sing…. About Ghost Love Score: Standing solid as a World Pillar around which the planet revolves, Floor hits "The Note," the crowd loses their shit, the band tears a hole in the fabric of Space-Time, and 82,000 people will never, ever be the same again. And the next one should be: Storytime from Wacken 2013 ....just saying.... Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !
Greetz From Germany, down south;) Many of my Army Dudes will swing the *you dont know whats coming at you * Juggernaught , so i quit on that, just wanted to add i really enjoyed your pure Joy screams when our beloved Band with Floor at Front did their Thing. Always like an Gift, when someone dont only listen but feel Them. Looking forward to more. Stay Healthy NWArmy Bavaria North
Nightwish Army Carolina Division checking in. This is a Score so Tuomas (Keyboard player) wrote it to purposely to switch up and go just about anywhere. Being "Symphonic Metal" allows them to take their music just about anywhere and do just about anything with their songs. Some of their songs are like this one, longer, grand, epic... while they have several others that are a more traditional heavy metal style song and basically just about everything in between. They even have songs with a bit of that Celtic Rock kind of vibe. Nightwish is a Live experience for sure, and no matter what basic style of song they are going for, all their songs will have those signature symphonic elements that make the music so full and rich. Welcome, lets journey into the Nightwish rabbit hole. Stick closely with Gabriel's suggestion list and you can't go wrong.
Hi Tylr. Always great to see someone enjoying themselves discovering Nightwish. Hundreds will contact you who have been on the same journey you are just starting (and you won't be able to stop), as you find out more about possibly the best band on the planet. Not so much a song here as a composition, which is what Tuomas Holopainen (keys) does better than anyone in the business. He is playing what you hear but over it is the London Symphony Orchestra and a choir. Nightwish are the masters of MIDI; they co-ordinate live and recorded music (and images, and recorded vocals, and pyrotechnics, and...) to a level others can only aspire to, as you will discover. Enjoy.
NightWish Army Wisconsin Chapter here. Welcome to Symphonic Metal and our Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen (pronounced Yahnsen). This is the most viewed video in history of TH-cam. And now you know why ❤❤
Hi Tylr. I'm so glad you followed Martine's recommendation. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal and our Valkyrie goddess, Floor Jansen. Nightwightwish is one of those rare bands whose live performances are even better than their studio productions. You have just scratched the surface of our Nightwish rabbit hole. Every Nightwish song is so different that you will find yourself saying "This is my new favorite" over and over again. Thank you.
Nightwish Army Texas Division reporting in. Glad you enjoyed their performance. Found you through this reaction, but I'll be sticking around to watching whatever else you react to and maybe also find a few new groups myself.
The Wacken Open Air startet 1990 with 800 People in a little Town call Wacken - 2013 : 75 000 people SOLD OUT , 2022 85.000 people SOLD OUT and the Wacken Open Air 2023 was SOLD OUT in 1 Day
Nightwish Iowa here, and welcome to Nightwish. I loved watching your reaction, you were genuine, and I am sure this entire experience took you by surprise - so it was a true blind reaction. Thank you for watching and reacting. I'm so glad you appreciate their music. It gives you chills, right? Gabrial usually gets here before me, so I'm sure he has given some other songs to react to next. You won't be disappointed.
Late to the party but it's a good one! Top reaction, sir! Nightwish Army, Blue Mountains Corps, Australia. I guess Garbriel gave you a lot of info. Ghost Love Score was a great song in 2004, from the album "Once". Floor in 2013 gave it all the little extras I had only imagined and made it an even greater Opus. Martine, you did it again!
It's 2023 and I am amazed to find out that a) Scotty, still, doesn't know and b) people, still encounter Nightwish for the first time. Wellcome aboard, enjoy the ride! You'll probably have already found that Nightwish is considered a cheat for reaction video youtubers, as Nightwish fans enjoy the amazed look on your faces as much as the song itself. Or maybe it is an added perk to listening these songs again. Idk, I hit the subscribe button anyway. I also don't know if Nightwish were the first to put metal and opera together, but they were the first ones I found out back in 2000. If you find that mix intriguing I would recommend to check the video "Pharaoh sails to Orion" from their DVD "Wishes to Eternity". It's a song from their second and heaviest album Oceanborn, with their first singer Tarja Turunen who is a pure operatic voice. It is not their most known or recommended song because it could be considered a death metal song and as such a bit hard to diggest, but operatic vocals work amazing there. So keep those videos coming, going to check your face on "Storytime" video now XD
FLoor (Dutch singer) is a fully trained classical singer and sings aria's with an ease that's unknown. She ses so many different techniques and colors of her voice, you will here opera, rock, metal growls and screams. From small deleicate songs to full blown Metal, she can do it all
Their music is considered symphonic metal. Floor is singing in English. She is trained in opera but she can sing anything & everything….she is the best! Please read Gabriel’s message…..you’ll find everything you need to know about Nightwish! Welcome to the Nightwish Army!
It’s Symphonic Metal. She is singing in English. It may help to turn on the lyrics to really hear what she’s singing. The more you listen to Nightwish the more versatility you’ll hear in her voice. You just fell down a massive rabbit hole with this band
And then Floor starts to sing and your eyes do all the talking......;-) . Hope you will play more Nightwish, just to see that look again and again and again!
I do understand why you ask as hearing through the music is hard with all of the harmonics going on.... there are versions with the lyrics or just look them up... she is crystal clear when you are reading along :-) Great react!
Oh my gosh you all are so kind and informative! I will definitely be reacting to more Nighwish! Love you all, Nighwish Army! ❤

Please don't pay attention to the naysayers who critique YOU in the comments. You loved the music, that's all that matters :)
Tuomas is using synth keyboards, the pipes are set dressing.
Wacken Open Air takes place every year nearby a small village in Germany. Nightwish performed in front of 82.000 people 👌🏻
She is Dutch, singing in English in a Finnish band at a German festival.
Her husband is Hannes Van Dahl, he is Swedish and Sabaton's drummer.
@@JimboLana Overall typical modern Europe. 😉
@@quecksilber457like 82nd swedish band is singing about an American in a war between Germany and UK in France.. the most popular concert is in Norway.
Shes swedish now 🤣
I'm from the United States and nightwish is the reason why I can't listen to pop music anymore. And I'm definitely ok with that.
Love Nightwish, but check out The Warning, a R&R trio from Mexico. EVOLVE, CHOKE, DUST TO DUST. Let me know what you think.
Well, I CAN listen to pop music if it's sung by Floor because I haven't encountered a song, yet, sung by her, that I didn't like. :D
Amen. You beat me to it....
Oh yeah they’ll ruin it for you. In the best way.
scott b. Did you check out The Warning yet??
The orchestral parts are played by the London philharmonic orchestra on a backing track , they also have the Metro choir singing on some tracks . Gabriel Bardac the General of the Nightwish army will be along soon to give all the info to this superb band , welcome to the rabbit hole that is Nightwish.
Tuomas does play a lot of the orchestra parts on the keys with string pads but obviously can't play it all so the rest is on backing tracks.
@@jimharris367was gonna comment the same thing yes Tuomas does play some of the orchestra parts from the keyboard, but much of it remains as the backing track
Not the London Philharmonic Orchestra, they didn't have that money in Once.
This isnt Once.
This is Wakken 2013.
I could be wrong but I believe I read they re-recorded all orchestral tracks once they _did_ get the London Philharmonic.
If so, at this performance it would be LPO on the orchestral parts.
Floor is the Valkyrie Goddess of the Nightwish Army.
Best liveband in this Universe. Nightwish is a lifetime journey to humanity 🔥🤘❤️🇫🇮
This....
Nightwish Army North Texas division reporting for duty. Welcome to the wonderful world of Floor Jansen and Nightwish. Symphonic metal at its best. For the part you asked about, Tuomas was playing the string sounds on the keyboard, but they also use recorded backing tracks of symphony and choir elements. It’s a rabbit hole worth exploring.
Hey Tyler. Thanks for reacting to my recommendation. I knew it would be something you'd appreciate 😀and it's good to see how enthousiastic it made you. There's a lot more to enjoy, believe me. They will take you on an epic journey, which will never get boring. I think I'll leave it at this for now, as so many other people in the comments will give you plenty of information. One tip though; have a look at Gabriel Bardac's comment. There's a lot of background information for you to read as well as a long list with song suggestions. Enjoy! See you soon, greetings from the Netherlands.
So, i did think of Chriss, Amy and You, always the same wonderfull Suspects:) thx for it!

He only needed to say 'she requested this song' and I was 100% sure it was you. Bravo once more!
@@Greyhound53200 😊
Why am I not surprised that Ms. Martine is who we get to thank for this! 👍🏼
Great reaction to great and unique band! Nightwish plays symphonic metal and each and every band member is highly talented & tight group. They really love and live the music ❤️
The band is from Finland, current vocalist Floor Jansen is Dutch and sings GLS in English. She actually handles 6-7 languages ( including Finnish, which is pretty difficult)
Happy weekend and greetings from Finland 🇫🇮
I hear the army approaching. Something tells me that you are going to be getting a lot of Nightwish requests...
Much love from the Nightwish army in New York 🤗
Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards) is behind this beautiful music. We call him metal Mozart ❤🤘
Or... Jack Sparrow with a keyboard 😋
Thx for the reaction and greetings from 🇨🇦 !! Buckle up and enjoy the ride , so many different songs from this band . See ya in the next one 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼
I know what you mean about the solo. Like Eric Clapton, Empuu, the guitarist, is a master of 'Just the perfect amount, and not a note more', he only shreds when it's appropriate.
Some of the orchestral instruments are being played by Tuomas on the 3 keyboards behind those pipes, but the entire London Symphony Orchestra is playing on a backing track. The London Metropolitan Voices choir is also helping. The genre is symphonic metal, and Nightwish does not mess around...
Every song by Nightwish with Floor is excellent. Your favorite song is the next one you hear. 😄🤘
Welcome to Nightwish and our 6'1 Valkyrie Godess Floor Jansen. When Gabriel makes a visit, follow his advice on all things Nightwish, and you can't go wrong. Nightwish Army North Florida Airborne Div reporting in. Enjoy the rabbit hole. Over 82,000 at this concert.
Get ready for the Nightwish Army! This is a definite rabbit hole you want to go down! Excellent music and all different. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Buckle in!!!🎸🤘
Floor Jansen the Dutch Goddess of metal is a classic trained and professional voice coach with at least 20 plus years experience and can do anything from death metal growling to high opera notes and different styles and languages, she is married to the drummer of the band Sabaton 😀
- you should know by now she is not classically trained… stop copying your incorrect message and place it under every Nightwish reaction video you can find…
@@janjanssen9629 no negative comments. If you don't like what people comment, then maybe you should get off TH-cam and get a real job.
@@joeyc630 - what are you doing on TH-cam telling lies?
@@janjanssen9629 move out of your parents basement and get into the real world
@@roy19491 - seems you condone lies… nice human being you are…
Nice reaction. Floor really took this song to another level. Met this band when Tarja Turunen the first singer was singing this, the whole album is amazing, Dark Chest Of Wonders, I Wish I Had An Angel, Nemo, Planet Hell and this song are my favorite.
Anyway I'm pretty you'll get the help of Nightwish army flooding in your comment box to fill you with their best songs and live performance.🤘🔥
Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Gabriel Bardac entered !
Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora.
Floor Jansen is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy.
Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6).
She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot. Plus, huge vocal nerd 😉.
Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg with classmates Jacqueline Govaert and Danny Vera, where she graduated in 2003. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016.
From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon (Second singer of Nightwish after Tarja) as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour (And she had to learn the set list in 48h). On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020.
And the Grandmaster of Nightwish is :
Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish).
Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration. There are two London based choirs too on the backing track, the other one is a children's choir. And of course with a synth you can do a lot.
This was recorded at the 2013 Wacken (pronounced Vahken) Open Air festival in Germany in front of an audience of 82,000 people. The fiery bull head is the symbol of the festival.
We hope, that there is more coming🤘😎🤘.
Wow. Can’t believe I’m one of the first to comment. But Hi!!! From the VA First Battalion of the Nightwish Army. You should probably brace for impact! Don’t worry too much, we’re a pretty friendly and diverse bunch. Two things:
1. You should totally do the Fan Friday idea. It’ll help expose you to so much more music! But get used to longer-ish songs, especially from the metal crowd.
2. If you would like to continue your Nightwish journey in specific, shortly there will appear in your comments a man named Gabriel Bardac. He’s the unofficial General and welcome crew to all those who venture into Nightwish’s 25+ years of music. He’ll give you a list of the highlights, which you can peruse in any order.
Other than that, welcome! Be prepared to get a bunch of requests for side projects of the band members as well as their spouses’ bands/ projects in some cases. It’s a great big beautiful world of Metal that’s yours for the enjoying! Cheers!
Hallo TYLR 😊, so you stepped into the rabbithole leading you to a whole new world: the wonderland of NIGHTWISH! Take care: HIGHLY CONTAGIUS and ADDICTIVE! It's not some band, not some songs, it's an adventure! Follow Gabriels list and Martines suggestions and you won't get lost. Welcome the Army and enjoy the ride down the GHOST RIVER! Greetings from Germany🤗 and parkinson's sucks⚘ and EMPPU RULES 😎🤘 alex
Nightwish Army Canada section checking in. Yup, Nightwish is super cool and have so much more to offer. Subscribed now, because I have the feeling you'll be reacting to more of the best band in the world. Nightwish with Floor Jansen on vocals is the ultimate listening/viewing pleasure. Cheers. 🍺
That was fun to watch! Love your enthusiasm! 👍🏻🤘🏻
She is Dutch, the band is Finnish, and she is singing in English...so, yeah, a different language.
😂
All I want to say is I love watching peoples reactions to Nightwish for the first time. hehehe. Welcome to the world of Nightwish. :)
If no one's said it yet, the term you were looking for for this type of music is 'Symphonic Metal' . 🙂
Welcome to the magical world of nightwish best live band on the planet imho
I loved your comment about Emppu's "emotional guitar solo". Yes, Emppu can SHRED, and when the piece dictates he'll let you know about it. That's the thing, these world class musicians know that the composition and how it's crafted is the star. Each gives for their part EXACTLY what the composition needs. Nothing more, and certainly nothing less.
It's just one of many good Nightwish tracks. They have made so much good music for so long.
Hello TYLR.
Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish.
They are from Finland.
And they make Symphonic Metal.
What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do.
Nightwish really hits you in your heart.
And that's what makes this band so unique.
Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch.
There were 82,000 people there.
I happily refer you to Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon) for a list with lots of song suggestion.
Watch out for the Nightwish Army.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
And i still don't get why they didn't won Eurovision (back than) ! (Which is something big here.) Why ? I don't get it. Tuomas is a great Artist, Songwriter...they would have deserved it.
Floor is actually Dutch. Just so you know.
Welcome to the magical world of Nightwish. This is one of the most epic live performances EVER. The singer is a Dutch singer/songwriter and vocal coach Floor Jansen, the best singer in the world (IMHO). The band is from Finland, as l'm too. Glad you liked and greetings from the snowy and freezing Northern Finland! ⛄💀👍
Hmm... a Duits singer for a band from Funland performing at the Whacken festival in the country of Deutschmark? That's too much for ma little brain. Terminal system failure.
I must have missed the mandatory daily injection of Flooride.🤪
@@noneofyerbeeswax8194 Haha! 😂
For epic live performances by NW, my favourites are ”I want my tears back” in Buenos Aires 2018 (some list the year as 2019) and ”The greatest show on earth” in Wembley 2015. I know many prefer Tampere, but for me the outro in Wembley is priceless. 🇫🇮
@@syncacct8576 Both are great, and l said "one of...". The BA show took place 30.8.2018. The 'Decades' cd/dvd/bluray released 6.12.2019 (lndependence Day of Finland), and it was the first live album, which topped the Finnish charts. ⛄👍
Best vocalist on the planet. This concert was all "covers" since she was only 10 months with Nightwish and joined mid-tour. Stick with it and you will reach the new stuff written for her skills.
For this ...100% in english. Watch again with sub-titles. The parts you coukd not understand are single words and phrases extended in entire bars. Like ...Myyyyyyyy yyyyyyy Faaaaaaaaa aaaaalllll wiiiiiii iiillllllllll beeeeeeeee forrrrrr orrr Yooooooo oooooouuuuuuu.
You have finally encountered *Floor Jansen*, also known as the Dutch Valkyrie Goddess of the Nightwish Army, Honored Citizen of the Amazonians, Sole Creator of all Floorgasms, Empress of Empathy & Enchantment, Top Commander of the Windmill Hurricane Society, as well as Undisputed Queen of Metal music. Here she is simply singing in English, but lyrics by Nightwish are not your typical "I love you, you love me" texts, they are a bit more eloquent. Besides that, Floor Jansen has pretty good articulation and dictation for a rock/metal singer. Next time perhaps enable the subtitles? Also, this was song #13 from 15 during this concert, so there is nothing wrong with her vocal quality and her stamina.
Your music reaction has summoned the Nightwish army from Germany.
Welcome to the community and your first encounter.
Nightwish is an incredibly talented und experienced band from Finland, with lead singer Floor Jansen (dutch).
To your question: The songs are written in English, although some lyrics are sung very operatic.
Shall we start off the Nightwish requests with 'Storytime' and end with "The Greatest Show on Earth'? 😁
I second "Storytime", my favorite actually!
Sounds like a plan 😁 "Storytime" next, is a good suggestion - and the Wacken-version, of course...
I'd inject "Everdream" after "Storytime" (due to that first Marko moment... 😁), but other than that, I concur 😊
@@Wolf-ln1ml Oh hell yes! Everdream is my favorite song
Don't we always do?🙃
Never change a winning scheme!🤘😆🤘
👋🇮🇹🖖
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal. The violin sound you were hearing and the instruments building up in the interlude are a prerecorded track performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. The London Metro Voices choir are the backing choir.
Welcome to my Metalworld for more than 40 years- I' m 55 years old and love this music , the Best Music on this Planet ! GREETING FROM BERLIN- GERMANY
very cool reaction,
greetings from the Nightwish Army from Germany 🙂
She’s singing in English for this one but she sings in so many languages I have lost count
Well at least in Dutch, German, Swedish, Finnish, English, Latin, Spanish and Italian - more or less (I don't know what Floor is learning this week 😁)
She is phenomenal
They have an orchestra and a choir on this track, the keyboard can't really play every sound you hear😅Tuomas, the keyboardist, writes almost all of the music and lyrics, orchestrations included. He's a genius for putting such different elements together in a meaninful way. She's singing in English, the long frases in the chorus say "My fall will be for you"
Actually the keyboard itself is able to play all the sounds you hear, every sound can be precisely emulated or sampled to come out of the keyboards, tuomas just doesn't have enough hands to play them all😅
Another Soul Snatched by the Valkyrie Goddess
Its all English " MY FALL WILL BE FOR YOU "
lol.. Yes. I love how Nightwish/Floor has the ability to make the listener crave more, and more. The Army is growing. 😊
@@zoeystar4668 its an Addiction .
She is our Queen. Nightwish Army Summoned.
Welcome to the Nightwish Army! Glad you have experienced your first Floorgasm
Saw them in Minneapolis last year, fricken' amazing, enjoy the journey!
Me too! Drove 8 hours, barely made it.
Glad you enjoyed it so much! I particularly liked your appreciation of Emppu's guitar solo, some people dismiss it because he's not shredding. (He _can_ shred, but only does it when appropriate - the needs of the music always come first.) Nightwish are an amazingly varied band, I suggest sticking to the first few songs from Gabriel's list to start with just to get some sense of their variety even within one concert, though the order you react to them doesn't really matter. Once you've done a few more we'll probably get a sense of what to recommend that will suit you particularly. Save the other big songs (Poet and the Pendulum, Greatest Show on Earth) for some way down the line - it's best to have a few more under your belt first. Enjoy the rabbithole!
I see my comrades in the Nightwish Army are already here. Welcome to our ranks. Enjoy the ride.
Nightwish army south africa. Dave. Welcome to the rabbit hole.
Be warned, you have summoned the Nightwish army. Pacific Northwest division reporting in.
love to see you blown away as i was
Hi Michigan here, He gets the assignment 😁😁😁.
Love to see REAL appreciation for All tyes of REAL ,music, not bubble gum, pop or commercial, this video brings a watery eye every time,I will subscribe. The ARMY! Gains another true Soldier!!!
There's no fans blowing, a valkyrie's hair moves like that all the time, on stage, when carrying fallen warriors to Valhalla, when doing groceries, ... 🥰😄
Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!! YOU ARE NOT READY FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay Nightwish!
Please do more; they are Amazing. Every song is different and always performed super.
Subbed in hopes of more.
Nightwish Army BC Canada 🙂🙃😊
Suggestion: Perhaps Storytime next from the same show.
It's English lmao. Just drawn out words - the section you stopped at was "My Fall will be for you"
Emppu, the guitarist, always crafts his guitarwork to serve the song or the melody. He shreds when it needs it or does a subdued one if it serves the music and feel of the song. This was 13th in the , they needed a short break to push for the end. :)
Tuomas plays some of the orchestral parts through his keys ( you can see in the one section, him playing it), and the rest of the orchestration is backing tracks recorded in London by a Symphony.
Until here recently I had no clue there was a genre of metal with opera singing. I’m so here for it! Floor is so amazing!
We are here...we are everywhere... Nightwish Army
Hello, li like this Reavction. Floor and her Brothers in Nightwish are awesome. The Keyboarder, Tuomas Holopainen is the genius ,who composed and writ the poets in 95% of all Nightwish Songs. Greetings from nothern Germany. 🤘
Normally, I wait for a few reactions before I sub, but your clear appreciation of this epic band, breaks the norm! Believe it or not, you have only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg from the horizon when it comes to what this band can do. You are now on the precipice of the deepest rabbit hole in music, take the dive and enjoy the ride!
Nightwish Army Arizona Division checking in. 🌵🇺🇲
Yes!!! WV Division of the Nightwish Army reporting! You finally got to Nightwish! Best band on the planet. Please just continue this journey. You will not be disappointed with the metal Mozart, Valkyrie Goddess Floor, and the rest of the most amazing band!! 🫶🏼🤘🏼
Greetings from the Nightwish Army (Sydney, Australia Brigade). Welcome to the world of Nightwish. Doing your first Nightwish reaction is a bit like that scene from The Matrix. If you don’t do another reaction, you take the blue pill, and wake up nice and warm in your bed. However, if you do more reactions, you take the red pill and get to see just how far the Rabbit Hole actually goes. It is so much worth the journey to take the red pill and experience all that this fantastic band has to offer. You will be in good hands with many of the other posters (especially Gabriel). Just take their suggestions on board, sit back, and enjoy the ride. You will be forever changed by the experience.
3rd GA divsion checking in. Rush Pink Floyd, Boston 80s progressive rock fan.
Found Nightwish a little over a year ago. Something new/current that was so progressive and intricate. They and their reactions are now my playlist.
13:45 Tuomas (the keyboard player) is using 2-4 Korg keyboards on the stage depending on the tour and he's playing a lot of the melodies but the orchestra backgrounds are real live orchestra recordings. For this tour, he had 3 keyboards and he plays different instruments via those keyboards live. The band plays according to click track to keep in sync with the orchestra playback during the gigs.
Another reactor once gave the perfect response after first hearing this performance...they said, (paraphrasing) "It would have been a sin to live my life without ever seeing this performance!". I have to agree.
Floor can sing anything and she's outstanding
Nightwish Army reporting from Canada! Welcome to Nightwish!
I loved your reaction! Just genuine happiness and it made me smile watching you!
Congrats on hitting 15k subs! Glad I'm now one of them! 💙
Can't wait for more! 😁
Best Band on this Planet! Greetings from Nightwish Armee Northern Germany 🇩🇪
Hail to the Queen, the Poet, the Riff-maker, the Groove master, the Piper of Heaven and to the Beat Lord ! Nightwish Army Italy present !
Born from the tempest, first of her name
Not a piano! Keyboards!!!
The heart of Nightwish. The computers and midi's are what makes all of the background music. All run by the mastermind genius of Tuomas! He is the founder of this awesome band and wrote everything! (Almost everything.) He actually let me sit with him at breakfast the morning of the Stuttgart concert!!! Didn't waste time with photos or autograph...just wanted to be his buddy for a moment. Lasted 15 minutes, but I will never forget it!!!
Nightwish Army Germany reports for Duty:
Great Reaction !! I think our Queen captured another soul….:-)
It never gets old to see people freeze when our Queen starts to sing….
About Ghost Love Score:
Standing solid as a World Pillar around which the planet revolves, Floor hits "The Note," the crowd loses their shit, the band tears a hole in the fabric of Space-Time, and 82,000 people will never, ever be the same again.
And the next one should be: Storytime from Wacken 2013 ....just saying....
Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !
Greetz From Germany, down south;)
Many of my Army Dudes will swing the *you dont know whats coming at you * Juggernaught , so i quit on that, just wanted to add i really enjoyed your pure Joy screams when our beloved Band with Floor at Front did their Thing. Always like an Gift, when someone dont only listen but feel Them.
Looking forward to more.
Stay Healthy

Nightwish Army Carolina Division checking in. This is a Score so Tuomas (Keyboard player) wrote it to purposely to switch up and go just about anywhere. Being "Symphonic Metal" allows them to take their music just about anywhere and do just about anything with their songs. Some of their songs are like this one, longer, grand, epic... while they have several others that are a more traditional heavy metal style song and basically just about everything in between. They even have songs with a bit of that Celtic Rock kind of vibe. Nightwish is a Live experience for sure, and no matter what basic style of song they are going for, all their songs will have those signature symphonic elements that make the music so full and rich. Welcome, lets journey into the Nightwish rabbit hole. Stick closely with Gabriel's suggestion list and you can't go wrong.
Hi Tylr. Always great to see someone enjoying themselves discovering Nightwish. Hundreds will contact you who have been on the same journey you are just starting (and you won't be able to stop), as you find out more about possibly the best band on the planet. Not so much a song here as a composition, which is what Tuomas Holopainen (keys) does better than anyone in the business. He is playing what you hear but over it is the London Symphony Orchestra and a choir. Nightwish are the masters of MIDI; they co-ordinate live and recorded music (and images, and recorded vocals, and pyrotechnics, and...) to a level others can only aspire to, as you will discover. Enjoy.
Love this reaction. Hope you're a fan and will do more Nightwish reactions. They never disappoint.
Floor is classicly trained, as is Simone of Epica. This is symphonic metal.😉
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal 😁 looking forward to your next Nightwish reaction.
Hee Hee ,Love seeing first time reactions to NIGHTWISH. Everyone is always hooked from the very first song.
NightWish Army Wisconsin Chapter here. Welcome to Symphonic Metal and our Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen (pronounced Yahnsen). This is the most viewed video in history of TH-cam. And now you know why ❤❤
Hi Tylr. I'm so glad you followed Martine's recommendation. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal and our Valkyrie goddess, Floor Jansen. Nightwightwish is one of those rare bands whose live performances are even better than their studio productions. You have just scratched the surface of our Nightwish rabbit hole. Every Nightwish song is so different that you will find yourself saying "This is my new favorite" over and over again. Thank you.
MORE NIGHTWISH... WITH FLOOR JANSEN PLEASE!!
Nightwish Army Texas Division reporting in. Glad you enjoyed their performance. Found you through this reaction, but I'll be sticking around to watching whatever else you react to and maybe also find a few new groups myself.
Nice reaction. Greetings from Greece
The Wacken Open Air startet 1990 with 800 People in a little Town call Wacken - 2013 : 75 000 people SOLD OUT , 2022 85.000 people SOLD OUT and the Wacken Open Air 2023 was SOLD OUT in 1 Day
Nightwish Las Vegas Regiment reporting. Welcome to the world of Symphonic Metal. Epica should be your next band to checkout
Nightwish Iowa here, and welcome to Nightwish. I loved watching your reaction, you were genuine, and I am sure this entire experience took you by surprise - so it was a true blind reaction.
Thank you for watching and reacting. I'm so glad you appreciate their music. It gives you chills, right?
Gabrial usually gets here before me, so I'm sure he has given some other songs to react to next. You won't be disappointed.
Late to the party but it's a good one! Top reaction, sir! Nightwish Army, Blue Mountains Corps, Australia. I guess Garbriel gave you a lot of info. Ghost Love Score was a great song in 2004, from the album "Once". Floor in 2013 gave it all the little extras I had only imagined and made it an even greater Opus. Martine, you did it again!
welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish! Nightwish Army , California here
It's 2023 and I am amazed to find out that a) Scotty, still, doesn't know and b) people, still encounter Nightwish for the first time. Wellcome aboard, enjoy the ride! You'll probably have already found that Nightwish is considered a cheat for reaction video youtubers, as Nightwish fans enjoy the amazed look on your faces as much as the song itself. Or maybe it is an added perk to listening these songs again. Idk, I hit the subscribe button anyway. I also don't know if Nightwish were the first to put metal and opera together, but they were the first ones I found out back in 2000. If you find that mix intriguing I would recommend to check the video "Pharaoh sails to Orion" from their DVD "Wishes to Eternity". It's a song from their second and heaviest album Oceanborn, with their first singer Tarja Turunen who is a pure operatic voice. It is not their most known or recommended song because it could be considered a death metal song and as such a bit hard to diggest, but operatic vocals work amazing there. So keep those videos coming, going to check your face on "Storytime" video now XD
FLoor (Dutch singer) is a fully trained classical singer and sings aria's with an ease that's unknown. She ses so many different techniques and colors of her voice, you will here opera, rock, metal growls and screams. From small deleicate songs to full blown Metal, she can do it all
Welcome to Symphonic Metal and all that is Nightwish. Buckle up its a large rabbit hole that you will absolutely fall in love with
Their music is considered symphonic metal. Floor is singing in English. She is trained in opera but she can sing anything & everything….she is the best! Please read Gabriel’s message…..you’ll find everything you need to know about Nightwish! Welcome to the Nightwish Army!
The guitar solo serves the vibe of the composition. 👍
Oh man. I haven't seens such an honest and enjoyable reaction for a long time. That was great! Keep up the amazing work!
FYI, There are 3 Korg synths behind the keyboard facade. And Tuomas wine rack......:-)
Nightwish Army, Håkansåker Irregulars, Helsinki, Finland signing in! Welcome and thank You for Your reaction!
How in all the hells has a music producer never heard of a keyboard or synthesizer?!?
It’s Symphonic Metal. She is singing in English. It may help to turn on the lyrics to really hear what she’s singing. The more you listen to Nightwish the more versatility you’ll hear in her voice. You just fell down a massive rabbit hole with this band
I think we need to add several more Fridays to a week because you have no idea what rabbit hole you have opened. Hahahahahahaha
Like the description of the guitar solo as "telling a tale" as opposed to shredding...Very evocative...
And then Floor starts to sing and your eyes do all the talking......;-) . Hope you will play more Nightwish, just to see that look again and again and again!
Somebody check on Gabriel... can't believe he hasn't responded, yet!
He must have given up on this one.
You sir, have been Floored! Get ready for a non-stop series of Floorgasms! Great reaction!
She obviously sings in english and almost every word is very clear. I don't know why you ask what language she sings in
I do understand why you ask as hearing through the music is hard with all of the harmonics going on.... there are versions with the lyrics or just look them up... she is crystal clear when you are reading along :-) Great react!
