True fact about this song to you Ashley is that the second verse starting: "We met where the cliff greets the .... " Tuomas wrote about Floor and her husband, Hannes Van Daahl (Drummer in Sabaton) and next verse Floor and Hannes having a baby :)
This is my 4yr olds FAVORITE song. Whenever I pick him up from preschool, he always asks for How's the Heart before I can even back out of the parking space.
Last friday/saturday this song make me cry. It was so amazing.. Ive seen em like 60 times since 1997(NW first gig).. Ive laughed, cried etc etc.. Those were 2 last concerts in Finland before break..
Okay, I'm honest and say I'm commenting before even watching this video, just because at the moment and for the past year this has been my favorite Nightwish song, in either acoustic or full on band version!!!! And last week I was lucky enough to hear it live for the first time and my heart just melted and exploded simultaneously!!!!! It was amazing!!!
I love this version, and so do many fans, as Nightwish added this acoustic version to the virtual and world tour setlist. They also recently started to play an acoustic version of Our Decades in the Sun in some concerts. Nemo is another great Planet Rock acoustic song from this same session.
Hey Ash! Actually, on their last tour, they alternated playing this and the electric versons. When i saw them, I was lucky enough to get the acoustic one. Rock on! 🤘😎👍
Thanks for another great video. I’ve heard this live when I saw them in Amsterdam last November. It was just Troy with his guitar and Floor. And even though I sat a good 50 meters away it felt like I was sitting at a campfire with them. It was so intimate and heartwarming. As I interpret the lyrics it’s about Floor joining Nightwish and her journey with them. The first part touches on Floor first joining them, it talks about a person who’s in a dark place coming in from the cold. The second part is about the emotional pain she was in. Becuase when she first joined the band she was on her way from recovery from a real bad burnout that had been going on for about 18 months. The third part is about her meeting her husband Hannes a few years later and the last part is about their first born child. The chorus is about letting people in and show compassion towards those who’s having a rough time. And also about coming over the dark times and embrace the love that’s being given to you. At least this is my interpretation of the lyrics. And other might have another one. But that is the beauty of Toumas’s writing, there ao much room for interpretation and he rarely talks about the actual meaning of them for this bery reason. There is also a cool story behind the actual recording session. Troy was a bit late from breakfast and was rushing down the stairs towards the lobby. He tripped and fell down the last couple of steps and got bruised. But he picked up his guitar case and proceeded to the cab that was taking him to the studio. Luckily he didn’t hurt himself so bad that the recording would have to be canceled.
"Does she ever mess up?!" Yup, when we saw them last year in the UK, Floor messed up the lyrics to Dark Chest of Wonders had to step away from the mic to gather herself and then rejoin in with the song 2 lines later. Same show, Troy missed the flute intro to one of the songs (he was late getting onto the stage) and then on Greatest Show on Earth intro part before the whole band comes in, his elbow pipes didn't work, could see a tech frantically trying to get them up and running but all we could hear was Tuomas's keys.
Troy and Floor sound so good together and Troy so multi talented. They done one other song acoustic Nemo. Do checkout the video version of How's the heart it's more Rockier. Thank you have a great day Rock on!
I've heard them do this version live at Wembley, yeah that ending is utterly jaw dropping in person, her voice is not of this realm it's like it was gifted to her by the ancient gods.
You talked about getting better. I am sure, you noticed, you were healed to an Degree just by hearing and seeing this:). just do enjoy some of Floors solos Covers and Songs, i am absolutely sure, they will do good for as Human Soul. As an over 50, whos done 60 hours weeks many Years, let me tell you, Balance. Balance. Balance. Work, sure, but if you dont hear what your Body tells you, your Brain will go and shut you down, so you have listen to your Body. This Day will come. Balance it, you are so young you still can get it to an healthy Balance:) STay(and get) Healthy NWA Bavaria North
Nice to seen you back Ash. Great reaction and always happy to see a Nightwish one. I know you probably have Gabriel's extensive list of songs so I thought I'd push for bands that don't get much love on TH-cam such as 'Beyond the Black' who are a German Symphonic Metal band fronted by Jennifer Haben (who is multi talented) - just thought I'd put it out there if you're looking for new content. 'Hallelujah' live from Japan is full of positive energy. Also 'Winter is Coming' I'll provide links if you require any! Take good care of yourself 😃
Hah, never thought of the LotR elf thing, that's a perfect fit! Yes, Floor messes up sometimes, but it's incredibly rare - I think she decides to throw in a mistake every couple of hundred concerts just to prove it's really her performing live. Take care, hope you feel better soon, and take advantage of the break!
I've watched 100s of Floor videos. I could only find 1 song in 2014 Pink Pop in After Forever, when her voice cracked, she took a breath and then powered through it. 1 time, over 20 years.
I get the workaholic thing, but rest is important for productivity too in the long run. Don't you dare to burn yourself out 😆 But also in a roundabout way I thought of a recommendation: Poets of the Fall - Carnival of Rust PotF is one of my favourite rock bands and they have amazing acoustic performances on TH-cam too, that's why it came to mind. But I think the Carnival of Rust music video would be a good starting point if you're not familiar. Anyway have a good time!
I hope you made to Memphis before this came out. Otherwise those high notes would of broken your car's windshield. Lol. Better to break few classes and dishes than car windows.😂😂❤
I'm not chopping onions... Anyway... Check out Marco's song "Voice of My Father", in both languages! I cannot understand the Finnish language, BUT it hits harder emotionally!
I would really like to see you react to Sabaton's cover of 1916 especially with the anniversary of the battle coming up. Im nerdy like that though I suppose.
Im living for that guitar! I do like the intimacy of just her and him together instead of the HUGE band sound.....almost sounds like a soundtrack to an RPG about dragons
Fantastic song, Floor is so powerful and Troy is such a talented musician. However if you want an elven princess you need Tuomas’ wife Johanna singing on Tuomas’ solo stuff, especially “A Lifetime of Adventure”. Truly stunning song.
No, Floor would not make à gréât elf. Elves are délicate, gracious beings. Floor is not particulary gracious. She can be gracious but that’s not her main feature. There are vidéos on her own official TH-cam page in which she’s créating à corral next to her house in swedish countryside you can ses her driving her quad lifting heavy wooden post on her large shoulders, using a sledgehammer to plant them in the ground... If you ever need some help to carry some heavy furniture, call Floor : carryng the new washing machine up to the 6th floor with no elevator, she can do it, 😂
@Slashley_Reacts-- Hi there Ash my name is Nicholas and I’m a metal head just like you i wasn’t there to push you far to react to Jinjer but i do know you have a tight schedule please more Jinjer reactions especially Teacher Teacher and I Speak Astronomy my favourite songs of them I’m not trying to push you to do so i had the presumption that you had Jinjer tossed aside for a while ok no pressure but anyways Glad to part of your channel and those glasses wow you’re a total goddess 🥵🖤🤍🖤🤘
Just thought I'd give a mention to Troy Donockely, the sixth multi-instrumentalist and English member of Nightwish, who plays acoustic guitar on this version but is playing pipes on the album version. Floor needs no mention of course.
If you want something that's Nightwish adjacent, original vocalist Tarja Turunen just released a live cover of Linkin Park's Numb and it's amazing. She puts so much emotion into it. Worth checking out!

WONDER WOMAN!
Rumor has it that Troy is now deaf on his left ear :)
Better than the child in the Noise video, who is now deaf in both ears!
Last friday/saturday this song make me cry. It was so amazing.. Ive seen em like 60 times since 1997(NW first gig).. Ive laughed, cried etc etc.. Those were 2 last concerts in Finland before break..
This beautiful song and particularly this acoustic version is one of my absolute Nightwish favorites. 😎👍
This version is so intimate…I love it
EXACTLY!!
6:57 Rumor has it that Troy is still deaf in his left ear... LOL
They performed an acoustic/full rock version hybrid of How's the Heart at the live show I attended last year. It was stunning. 😋
legend has it troys still deaf in his left ear after doing this..lol
To me Floor has always looked like an elven queen.
She’s also very drawn to the forrest and nature in general. So she might be of elvish heritage. 🙂
WrighteousJ on his channel refers to her as Dark Galadriel. I can’t say I disagree.
Okay, I'm honest and say I'm commenting before even watching this video, just because at the moment and for the past year this has been my favorite Nightwish song, in either acoustic or full on band version!!!! And last week I was lucky enough to hear it live for the first time and my heart just melted and exploded simultaneously!!!!! It was amazing!!!
This version is beautiful. The album version is epic.
I just really enjoy the "personal" feeling of this
@@SlashleySlays Could not agree more 🙂
Nice to see you back with Nightwish
Beautifull song,especially when do you ask somebody Hows the heart?
Floors voice is so amazing😊
In case of emergency Floor Jansen's voice can be used as alarm clock, car alarm, train horn, air raid siren or fog horn.
I’ve actually sampled the end note of GLS from Wacken 2013 and use it as an alarm clock! 😂
I love this version, and so do many fans, as Nightwish added this acoustic version to the virtual and world tour setlist. They also recently started to play an acoustic version of Our Decades in the Sun in some concerts. Nemo is another great Planet Rock acoustic song from this same session.
Nightwish Unplugged! Now, how about just Tuomas on a grand piano with Floor singing!
Hell ya! I could see them doing Floor's version of Alone.
Hello Ash. This was a lovely reaction to this acoustic version of this beautiful song. Thank you and have fun in Tennessee.
You've got to admire Floor's versatility, from hard rock/metal to a "folky" style like this. Just does it all brilliantly.
Goosebumps ❤❤❤
Jani Pitkänen. We Were Here. I was on Kitee concert on friday. What a gig.
This issss something else🤘🤘

@-Slashley_Reacts. Hi, I am i Sweden and do enjoy your reactions😀
Unfortunately we have a spam bot going around that you replied to... I'm sorry!

Troy's smile after getting his head blown out!
Hey, you should definitely check out more of Floor Jansen solo shows and her covers on her TH-cam channel, awesome 😊
really nice love that ;)Tuomas is Metal Mozart
I really hope Troy is featured more live, not that he can replace Marko, but Floor and Troy also sound really great singing together.
Epica - Omegacoustic is then also something to check out!
This is the interview where Troy is calling Floor's voice for Stratospheric - and that's pretty close to the reality!
🤩👌💥💯🎶
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Hope your health issues gets better ASAP!
Cheers from Finland 🇫🇮

The the second verse, Tuomas writes to Floor, Hannes and Freja
yes he did. This is Tuomas way to say thank you Floor for saving the band back in 2012 and make us great again

there's also an acoustic version from "Nemo". worth listenig too.
You should also check out the acoustic version of Nemo as well from the same set.
nice react!!
you should listen to all the songs that Floor recorded on the Best Zangers show, it's simply amazing!!!
U may be interested in Nightwish's Elvenpath/elvenjig that references Lord of the Rings
I would really like to see you react to Sabaton's cover of 1916 especially with the anniversary of the battle coming up. Im nerdy like that though I suppose.
❤The original i still my favorite, though....
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘No words!!♥️
Thanks
People still use/have Kik? 😮😮😮 That's something I haven't heard about in years. I love(d) Kik.
They do Nemo together in the same session. Just saying.
Yeah
