Tuomas also stated that if Floor ever leaves the band that will be the end for NW. I saw a scrapbook that someone posted online of photos that were taken of Floor with some of her female friends in the metal world and it was quite impressive. As you probably know, Tarja is one of Floor's close friends as they have so much in common as performers and mothers with daughters. In interviews Floor gives Tarja equal credit with Tuomas as the co-creators of NW and the reason that the band rose to fame in the first place. But I think the difference as far as Floor's relationship with the band is that her arrival saved the band at a time when they were in a state of flux and struggling to find a new identity and in a way the band saved Floor who was suffering from burnout. So I think there is an appreciation and loyalty that goes both ways. Although Floor is frequently invited to perform as a guest artist with other bands and now she likes to experiment with other types of music she has always made it clear that Tuomas is the leader of NW and her #1 priority is the band.
And Floor said they had to physically drag her out of Nightwish because she will not leave on her own. EVER
Floor BECAME Nightwish immediately, we have no worries of there ever being another change there. Marko’s departure was HUGE and almost did the trick, yet they’ve moved on with a new touring (non-singing) bassist, and I believe that is due to the massive demand for their music that existed both before and even more so after Floor joined.
@@talkswithdave I was pleasantly surprised how excellent Troy has been in the male vocal role. There are some things that Marco did that I don't think Troy would necessarily even try, but it's like this band went from strength to strength. I don't know why I should be so surprised, as Troy is an incredibly accomplished musician, but it was so very pleasing.
This song was really important for me. I´m literally a totally different person after I started listening to Nightwish. I´m now full of hope, positivity and gratefulness. Floor´s voice unlocked so much emotion that was built up in me and now I listen to Nightwish daily - best medicine for the soul :)
I feel the same! they are just so incredible!
@@AileenSenpai I see that you feel it. It´s so nice to watch others like yourself discover Nightwish. It´s really breathtaking stuff. I believe they are almost an infinite source of dopamine. It´s a bit of an anomoly because I don´t get tired of them but rather left searching for more. Always amazed and left happy and content.
Agreed!
Right. I know exactly how you feel.
welcome to world of Metal music - nightwish is start - you may skip steps and come to TOP! - THERION is Dark Side of ABBA!
Great reaction, this masterpiece is always overwhelming don't worry. It has a very important place in the Nightwish story. It was written by the keyboard player and primary songwriter and composer of Nightwish, Tuomas, it deals with his turmoil and depression after the band sacked their first singer Tarja Turunen. It is his artistic suicide channelled into a song, so he didn't have to do it in real life. There is a backstory therefore that some read before watching, some don't. Either method does not detract away from the quality of this composition. Keep the reactions coming, great work!
wow thank you for this backstory! I really felt the emotion and passion in this song. The sadness now makes a lot more sense to me...Thank you! :)
@@AileenSenpai we like your reactions!
Please, more Nightwish!
@@AileenSenpai if you listen closely to the boys voice that speaks halfway in the song: 'I have 3 minutes and counting' and then see what Tuomas does exactly 3 minutes later (at 10 minutes in the song)
@@AileenSenpai a couple of other songs from this time are "Bye bye beautiful " and "Master passion greed"
Yeah such a deeply emotional song for all Nightwish fans more so for the older ones though actually cuts deep I was so sorried about Tuomas and like my Nightwish it was a huge part of my life it saved my life kept me going through rough times the soundtrack of my life even.
Heard this song many times live and it allways hit me.. That last part.. i´ve cried every time!!
As a listener of extreme music and other Metal sub-genres since I was 14 years old, I never thought of falling in love with a band that fulfills all imaginable requirements and can't stop listening.
Tarja is a great singer, but Floor is at an extraordinary level that not even the mainstream and most famous singers can't reach.
I'm in love with Floor's versatility, humility.
Conquered me forever!!!
This song keeps me going and keeps me in the world of the living. I listen to it every morning and although it's an emotional roller-coaster for me, both because of Tuomas story and my own, I feel stronger for it. Still trying to find my shore though! :)
Same
@@norahagberg9897 That's our Journey of Life...keep searching for your shore, but enjoy the journey while you look.
There's more creativity and musical variety in some single Nightwish songs than some other bands have on their entire careers. You're never quite sure where their songs will go next, but it is always the right place when they do.
Great reaction Aileen. This song is a watershed moment for every Nightwish fan worth their salt. It is one of the most important songs in the band's history as it provided closure for Tuomas and the band after the Tarja era had come to an end. We can debate the merits of the Tarja vs Floor argument until the cows come home. What we can not debate is Tuomas' song-writting genious. Every note, every chord and every spoken word in this composition is meticulously planned and expertly executed. These are all world-class musicians at the top of their game. Personally speaking, this song gave confort and respite as I played it in my ipod on the helichopter ride back to base after each mission from god-foreshaken places in the Middle east or Sub-sahara africa or some Latin American jungle. Keep your Nightwish journey going. It is a hell of a ride.
Great purpose. From a former u.s.navy sailor..... welcome home brother. Glad you're here
This song by Nightwish is an epic performance, and Floor is beyond incredible.
Just watching the bass runs that Marco is playing while he is singing completely blows my mind. The guy is so brilliant he must have two brains - one for the fingers and one for the lyrics.
No other metal band would even think of composing a masterpiece like this one. So unique in the world of rock/metal. Loved it Aileensenpai! Be well. Peace.
This is a sad but beautiful Masterpiece. Tuomas's poetic suicide after the events that occurred after they let Tarja go in 2005. The ending gets me every time 😭. Great reaction. Thank you! 😎👍
This song still fucking destroys me every time I hear it. I've never had a song hit me so hard in my life 100% of the times I listen to it. It's a masterpiece.
This is a great song, very deep meanings, just read a bit about it and then watch the video with lyrics...
But yes a nice reaction this far.
This is the World of NIGHTWISH, no goin back now. The Greatest Band on Earth.
Great reaction beautiful.
Floor is an absolute vocal athlete. How she is able to sustain such insane vocal belts, growls, clean, distorted, operatic, etc for an entire concert is truly amazing. If singing was an Olympic event she would have more Gold medals than Michael Phelps, and the same, if not larger set of lungs.🎤🎵🥇🥇
This is storytelling on the highest level. The composition, Floor, Marko, the individual skills of the band used in this way, makes an impression on everybody. This is a ride through a personal depression, ending with Tuomas committing suicide on stage instead of in real life...
Phenomenal song - and phenomenal reaction from you 👍.
Nightwish has got you - just like they have got the rest of the Nightwish Army 👍💪🤘🤘
The cello during The Pacific just breaks me up. It's so beautiful. Then Marko playing that awesome bass part while singing and not looking at the bass guitar at all during "The Dark Passion Play". WOW! Then the bass line on part 5. Amazing.
Yes you read it is real beautiful
If you like theatrics and Marco's and Floors duets, please listen to Devil and the deep dark ocean (live in Buenos Aires). Marco portrays the devil and Floor the deep dark ocean. One of my favourites of from them. Also Seven days to the wolves and Song of myself.
Anytime I find myself buried under a few days of pent up BS, I listen to this performance and Floor induces the much needed crying and release that I need.
it's a fine thing to see somebody gradually falling in love. Though it is not my genre I rate this band as one of the greatest at this moment. The production, the charisma, the individuals, the songs: the total package, I have to say it's totally something else. Can not believe that Floor Jansen is from the very tiny Dutchy Netherlands, as I'am too. Not forgetting the great singer/bassist on her right, but she is such a great performer, a real artist that can give you the chivers just like that. Keep up the good work and enjoy.
Hey Aileen. Thank you so much for this fantastic reaction. This is a very emotional song and many of us get misty-eyed every time we listen to it.
I love how Tuomas borrowed imagery from "The Pit and The Pendulum", a short story written in 1842 by Edgar Allan Poe. The story deals with the psychological torment of a prisoner in the Spanish Inquisition who is publicly tortured and executed for opposing the Catholic Church. He finds himself in a rat-infested, darkened room with slippery sloped floors leading to a Pit, with a swinging Pendulum above. The Pit signifies Death, the Pendulum represents Time and the sloped floors, rats and darkness symbolise Fear.
The protagonist of the story opposed the Catholic Church as he was angry with God for taking away his birth mother, adopted mother and wife with plague and disease.
I wonder whether Toumas's anguish was NOT due to the fact that he fired Tarja (the original singer) from the band but because he felt he was being publicly tortured and executed by his so-called fans for doing so.
I also want to say how beautiful you are and what a pleasure it is to see your gorgeous face light up with this reaction. Greetings from the UK
Pure, cold reactions to this masterpiece always impress the hell out of me. It proves how brilliant this composition is on a musical level and I love that. Research into the backstory will only increase the impact of the song, but a person still has to be able to feel the music in their soul before they can fully appreciate it on a deeper level. You obviously felt the music and had a very deep appreciation of the journey this song takes you on, and for that I say thank you and BRAVO! I'll be here as you continue your journey through the Nightwish universe.
That's Queen Floor, the Valkyrie Nordic Worrier Goddess. One of the things you may come to is that you don't have a favorite song, they all give you that feel. I came to that thought a while ago, and it is still true.
Great reaction! this song gets me every time, especially the Mother and Father part, if you can, rewatch this video with lyrics, understanding the lyrics bring this song to another level
MASTERPIECE ! !
You get the Ann Waychoff trophy for 2021... anybody who was a fan in earlier days will know what that means!
Floor sends queen B and Mariah back to school!
Today’s best Metal Vocalists vs Today’s best Pop Vocalists. Is not even a contest.
@@shspurs1342 Oh, it is .... like a pro team against a hobby team
True... 😅
Don't forget the master brain of this band, Tuomas Holopainen who is the composer and the creator, he is Godsent too. But whole of the band is a masterpiece! LOVE YOUR REACTION!
Yes, without Tuomas there wouldn't be these songs for Floor to sing.
Also my favorite Nightwish song. Gets me every time…
Nightwish delivers a new "favorite song" with each new listen. It's impossible for me to say what my favorite NW song is. Give me my favorite 10. I might have better luck with that... without my brain exploding.
This song is a masterpiece
you should try Devil & the Deep Dark Ocean, at Buenos Aires :)
Absolutely.
Absolutely!
Floors solo is her siren song to sailors 😍
Word of the day: Carthasis.
Which means making a "symbolic" suicide.
At the middle there were this boy, representing Tuomas, telling about the torment he went through and how he anticipated death. He also tells when.
"....For years I've been strapped unto this altar
Now I only have three minutes and counting
I just wish the tide would catch me first and give
me a death I always longed for."
3 minutes you both hear and see the blade as Tuomas shows it slice his throat.
This song is a roller coaster of emotion..
There is a lot all albums have 12+ tracks and 9 albums all fantastic tracks as well
So awesome song by Tuomas and personal story of his pain. Fortunately he managed, did not end NW and continued. Otherwise we would miss so much. They did this also well in this live even though the album version is also great.
“So happy...” while everyone from the bands checks on tuomas (and at that pause you say it is at where emppu is checking on tuomas) because this was a song where he did a metaphorical suicide instead of doing it irl... 😅
Yeah I agree the band is great and has a exemplary chemistry between them though. From floor which is glancing at tuomas from time to time throughout the song to check on him (she’s on mike and while she once in a wild travels with it she shouldn’t be doing that a lot imho) or Marko which came to check on him and of course I already said about emppu...kai can’t even glance though because some devil wrote him a piece of song that he needs to play 😈
(While I like the song I’m glad it’s off their stage playlist because of the influence it has on tuomas...sometimes he asks to turn off the earpiece for this song to not hear it...so for our Mozart’s mental health I’m glad they won’t be doing this live no more)
If you’ll listen again from the part in the song it says 3 minutes and counting after 3 minutes you hear the sound of the guillotine...tuomas’s suicide so to speak.
The last verse is very emotional. Annette when she sang this part once broke live on stage because it was right after she lost the custody of her children to her ex (and even before that she told in interviews that as a mother it’s the hardest part for her sing emotionally)and floor as well said in an interview that this verse is hard on her emotionally... 🥺...I just like that angelic voice (and every time tear up)
“End of all hope” or maybe “shudder before the beautiful” next? both are show openers (end is traja era which floor preformed live in 2018 and shudder was the first album written for floor’s voice and the opener for the shows...) or maybe something heavy...maybe “slaying the dreamer“? After this song I think you’d like one of those more upbeat songs...
At the end, when Emppu and Marco get up beside Tuomas, and Floor finishes singing, she turns to look at Tuomas. This band is so tight. Even with Marco leaving, the band seems to support even though they must miss him terribly. Just so awesome to see a band that is so close.
@@northof4924 that’s definitely the highlight for me in nightwish (the togetherness)...bands like that tend to make good music as well.
"7 Days to the Wolves" at Wembley Arena is amazing as well. Or maybe
"I Want My Tears Back" Buenos Aires 2018, (the title of the video says 2019). It is a happy song, and the Argentinian crowd is the best.
One more: "Elvenjig/Elvenpath" Decades live Buenos Aires 2018. An old song, now with Floor, very good, less reacted to.
I want my tears back live in Buenos Aires us also my recommendation for it truely lifts the spirit 🤘
She is not of this planet im with you not human she is a goddess do more thank you you rock
🇬🇧 NW Norfolk division signing in and ready to go !
Three minutes and counting and dead on three minutes the blade falls on Tuomas . There is a master at work to write such a wonderful piece of art with such emotion and timing
super charged emotion song. thanx to great reaction again and have super good day there. saturday nightwish first real live concert for a long time. kuopio rock finland. start 11.45 pm.
Couldn't wait for You to do that masterpiece. :) You may want to check out Infected Rain (Orphan soul for the start). Keep coming these great reactions :)s
You’r reaction is honest and you’r not faking it!!! Love it!!! Try Dead Boys Poem
Interlude 1:"Now I have but three minutes and counting."
3 minutes later blade falls. Master writing.
This is a very powerful song, it is one of the songs specifically written about the way Tuomas felt after they had felt they had to sack Tarja, it affected the rest of the band deeply, hence "The shoulder cries more" Emppu and Marco both check up on Tuomas during this performance, also Tuomas had the vocals removed from his in-ears, though you often see him singing along anyway, even Kai is seen holding back his feelings after the suicide. Floor just gave so much of herself to this performance. If you want to hear another version which has all the anger and pain I suggest listening to Marco's demo version that hits even harder
Did you notice. at the end, the original band members gather near Tuomas.. There was a reason for that.
Great reaction, your face tells the story. Cheers my friend, hope you had a great day! \m/
The milestone of Tuomas' compositions!
And a lesson on how to combine a philharmonic orchestra and a metal band. All different instruments and vocals. The result can be heard here! Our "Metal Mozart" shows his skills!
And we can enjoy the results of his work! Thank you Tuomas!
BTW. If you felt emotional during a song, you’re not the only one. There are several thousand of us who experience the same thing during this song.
Marco's voice in so incredible and fully on display in their Endlessness. His range and growl weaves seamlessly and is almost unbelievable. He will be sorely missed.
One of the finest pieces composed and performed by anyone anywhere.
you need to listen to Shoemaker the end of this song just is so incredible
Don't be shy I don't know how many time I've heard/seen this song and I cry at that fist spot too
She is the Valkyrie Queen. What did you expect ? :-)
All Hail the Queen !
I heard this song now for the 624th time...and still the Onion Ninja´s catch me unprepared when she sings "Tuck me in beneath the blue".....
She has you screaming and head banging with one verse, and tears in your eyes on the next. The Valkyrie Goddess of Metal is a force to be reckoned with.
Aileen you are rocking these…keep on keep’n on with your NW journey..
Aileen you should react to another great song with Marko on lead vocals: the islander,
You will love it
Goosebumps, watching this video....
hahah your reaction to Marko's voice
keep up good work, your journey was started in nightwish music.
This was a joy to watch.
Great song. This was first metal song I introduced my teenage daughter to a couple years ago. As a extreme music guitarist I wanted her to get just how broad metal is, not just sex, drugs, violence, death, etc... Nothing wrong with melody or harmony. Now she's turning me on to new stuff like Babymetal. So metal CAN bring parents and kids together and share love of music. Hey do some Babymetal. Keep it up
This reaction is one of the best reactions 😊... thank You!
Epicness right there on that stage. Tears galore every time 🙏😊👍😍
After seeing your reaction to this I need to take a good sleep. 💕🌹🦄 Floor really loves you, loves us all.
Greetings from Greece , great reaction.
Awesome reaction, great breakdown 👍. Love the green BTW 😍
AND she can growl also, like...seriously she can and does it live also. Even before Nightwish in After forever, but she growls with both bands.
Girl, thank you for your great reaction. You should research the backstory of this song. But still, your reaction was great. As a true Nightwish fan, I thank you. And also let me say you are gorgeous.
Loved you’re reaction the pure enjoyment and emotion you showed was great .
Nightwish with Floor, match made in heaven!!!
Nope just there to make you feel better again and for old fans to have a good cry such a good song loved it right away. Knew exactly whatwas happening and watching vlogs on both sides i was so attached to the band and Tarja every day for almost a decade.
Wow it actually looks like i have found a reactor. Who doesn’t do fake reactions 👍.
and just sit and enjoy and comments at the end
thank you for watching!
Great reaction, lovely, thanks so much
Since you are absolutely loving Nightwish, I highly recommend Epica !
Excellent reaction Aileen. Cheers !
Kai on drums is a machine...an absolute beast!
He probably sleeps on time...
See what I did there? Lol.😆
Enjoyable Reaction! 👊
Floor snores on pitch???
@@jaketzi8816- That's pure gold!
Wish I had thought of it...
Nice! 👊
Your reactions are awesome 🤘❤
You should have read first the backstory on how this masterpiece is composed.
Aileen
Did you noticed when bassist, Marko and guitarist, Emppu walked over to Tuomas, keyboardist for comfort and moral support as Floor singing at the end of this song. As you read other comments of Tuomas' situation with original singer, Tarja. Tuomas and Tarja were or are childhood friends in Finland. In 2005, she either left or fired from Nightwish. Fans of the band blamed him for her leaving the band. it gotten so bad that he put Nightwish on hiatus for 2 years. Then Nightwish gotten back together in 2007 with a new singer, Anette Olzon. Anette sang with NW from 2007 to 2012 or to 2013. She left the band. Then Nightwish hired Floor Jansen as a touring vocalist for an upcoming tour (Ghost Love Score). Floor had to learn complete Night wish songs in 48 hours. When that tour ended, Floor and Troy, multi-instrumentalist became full time members of Nightwish.
The Valkyrie Queen has talent beyond mortals. Enjoy your Floorgasms.
At times you hear something new, something you never heard before. Floor Jansen my compatriot leaded me to their music and i'm satisfied, very satisfied. The journey through their songs continue.
This is the last song I showed my mom before she died. Your reaction takes me back to that day, thank you.
I’m so so sorry for your loss. Music is so healing. This is very touching and I’m so glad this was able to help even a little. ♥️
First thing i did was hit like, because first and foremost, this is a great song and you had 666 likes at the time.
Lucky number 🤟🏻
I immediately gave a 'thumbs up' and after this cool reaction, subscribed as fast as lightning! /\/ \/\/ =
Floor her voice special that voice when she sounds like a voice from heaven is giving me a a chill.. They call it floorgasm.. Anyway I love Nightwish so much there music is epic
I get goosebumps every time!!
I don't know if you've checked it out yet or not, but I recommend listen to some Annette Olzen era Nightwish songs. She was the original singer for this song, and that was her voice during the very beginning of the song, and the monologue in the middle.
She's very different from Tarja and Floor, unlike those two she isn't a classically trained singer, but a contemporary vocalist. Imaginaerum is probably my favourite album by Nightwish
React to Nightwish - Ghost River Wacken 2013 Live. Marco & Floor duet vocal is superb.
please finish your nightwish journey..their are many epic songs you missed, I recommend *romanticide* (wacken 2013) and *yours is an empty hope* (Mexico city 2015) these are heavy songs..I'm sure you will appreciate them.new subscriber here..
Nightwish - Gethsemane live '99 remastered
Indeed a masterpiece especially when you why Thuomas the composer and keyboardplayer has written it. Thank you for your honest comment, no jalousy at all. And yes, Floor has iron lungs, often unbelievable. Stay healthy dear lady.
To further highlight the genius of Tuomas (the keyboardist and main songwriter of the band), from the moment the choir boy says "now I have but 3 minutes and counting" and the moment Tuomas slices his throat on stage with his fingers, marking his virtual suicide, exactly 3 minutes have passed. He is called the Metal Mozart for a reason :)
My Queen Goddess Floorever!
Had no idea this existed. Thank you.
This song destroys me. And now I know what it’s about, it kicks me in the head while it destroys me.
Newer sub to your channel Aileena, you have such a cute smile😊💓. The beginning of the song reminds me of LOTR for some reason lol. Cool song and great reaction!
What is LOTR.
@@shspurs1342 Lord Of The Rings
Toumas is a musical genius. An example the child saying he has 3 minutes to live and 3 minutes exactly later you see slice him slice his throats in a symbolic gesture of suicide . The man is again a genius.
The Poet and the Pendulum is Toumas hardest Song to play on the Wembley Show he discureib the big broke with the original singer she was Emppus and his time live Frend also he discureib his Depression and his conversation with his mother Marco and Emppu check him how he is doing by this Song
You should do Nightwish - The Islander at Tampere 2015.
I always break down at the same spot you did. I've heard the song a hundred times, and in a hundred more my reactions will be the same... drowning in this song's vast oceansoul.
Agreed. Floor can’t be human.
