      I agree with that. I hate when some reactors pause, usually in the middle of an amazing moment, to say stuff like "I just can't, this is so fire." and then ramble a bit, and then continue. The pauses here, however, are interesting, because they explain and give insight :)

    As far as I know, when you are not aware of something you see or hear, it acts on a subconscious level. You, being trained in the field, are aware and help us to understand too. I wonder which springs of the subconscious act on. I have some ideas, based on the effects on many of us. They are positive :)

  • @black4pienus

    One of my favorites! I love it when Marco starts with this long note and Floor takes it over into another verse at 6:26. When I try to explain the genius of Nightwish to people that never heard them, it's so frustrating people always seem to think that I just say that because I love them. NO! Nightwish IS genius! Tuomas IS a modern day Mozart! Thank you for talking about the technical things in their music. I learn something every time.

  • @Zozo-K-
    @Zozo-K- 4 ปีที่แล้ว +254

    I really appreciate you pointing out all of the little technicalities that we love but probably don’t pick up on. Your analysis is always enlightening. Personally I think you’ll be ready for The Poet and the Pendulum once you’ve done I Want My Tears Back (Wacken version), as you’ve not seen/heard Troy yet. The other song besides Poet that you’ll need to prepare for (lyrics) is The Greatest Show On Earth live at Tampere. I think that one will blow you away the most.

    • @Zozo-K-
      @Zozo-K- 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Ronald Boers I disagree...Floor does a lot of yelling for the audience to dance and she’s yelling over the top of Troy’s pipes. Might be fun to watch but not the best version to actually hear Troy’s playing.

    • @deed5811
      @deed5811 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @papaverweg
      @papaverweg 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I also appreciate your technical observations, so keep pausing when you think it fits. You said something about the pyrotechnics as well.
      I would love to ask: can you also react to NW’s way of using colors and fireworks in particular during their shows? For me it’s highlighting the sat, cool, warm, shanty or heavy emotions they like to express in their music and lyrics. Fire, red, orange and yellow (or even white) for passion, strength and/or aggression etc. Blue, green and purple for cooling down, melancholy and sadness. It contributes to feeling the emotions they like to express and gives you that movie soundtrack experience during the concert. You can see what it’s working out in the audience.
      Be aware as well that during the show NW is running pre-recorded orchestral and/or choir tapes to complete what not can be done live. So that humming sound you heard could be on tape made by the London Symphony Orchestra or the choir.

    Her expressions show what a great performer she is. When you see her kind of acting goofy and pointing at her face, she's singing the lyrics "Smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end". She's not just singing the lyrics, she's performing them.

    There is a lot to unpack in their new album, Tuomas took it upon himself to throw down the gauntlet to his band mates.
    Floor said the melodies were difficult to get down before adding her emotion to it.
    Emppu (the guitarist) said one of the songs will probably kill him doing it live lol.
    And the drummer Kai had to add more drums to his kit to even play some of the songs.
    What I love about this band is they're not afraid to try something new and it keeps us on our toes. Can never get bored of listening to Nightwish

  • @jpsother1183
    @jpsother1183 4 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    When Jukka stepped down and Kai took over, Kai said the timing and time changes were very challenging to him.
    Jukka and Kai have a tick-track so everything aligns with the backing track. As another actually skilled reactor said, you have got to have a top drummer for this sort of show and the drummer needs to be on their game.

    I love that you don't just explain the vocal techniques but that you also focus on what the composition is about and how it impacts the music and listening experience.

All I can say I guess is keep it up, and also I am a little disappointed in the Nightwish army that you have now done 4 videos of them and are only sitting at 4k subscribers... this man is breaking down their performances and showing appreciation more than any channel out there, and his reactions are genuine, where I think most others, know they are making a video and want to make sure they show "mind blown" expressions.

    You know, I've listened to Nightwish songs more or less non-stop for a couple of years now. I've seen lots of reactions (I watch a new reaction to Ghost Love Score every day). But this is different. Song of Myself and Ghost River have never been my favourites, I usually skip those. But now you come along with this analysis, which I even understood (most of it). That was great!
    If I want teens going "wow" every five seconds, there are plenty of those, but this kind of specific analysis with clear examples is what I want. So, thank you so much. You've managed to provide a new to my favourite music for me, for which I will be for ever grateful.

    I love how genuinely smitten you've become with this band. A lot of the technicalities in Tuomas's songwriting are used by many bands, but almost none of them manage to make them sound 'natural', as in you instinctively feel the rhythm is different, but feels right. I also have to agree with your comment on the joy Floor radiates. I've seen Nightwish before with the other singers, but never really was into them. However, one of my favorite bands back in the day was After Forever, which was her band. I only learned she joined Nightwish not too long ago, but by the way they've performed ever since, it's clear they've entered another stage. I'm actually "getting" their music now, and am fully immersed in it. You really have to look into Poet and the Pendulum and Greatest Show on Earth - but make sure you read up on the backstory of both songs, it amplifies the experience.

But yes, they are having fun and it shows. Normally I would recommend something, but Nightwish are so freaking good you can pretty much pick whatever you want. You could stay with Wacken, still much to discover here, but you are definitely ready for Poet and the Pendulum (Wembley) or even goto The Greatest Show on Earth (Tampere)', another epic performance.

    You said earlier that Floor is strong in her operatic mode - well she is, yes - but it is in her head- and chestvoice she is completely outstanding - and this in combination with her ability to switch effortless between these different styles, which less than a handful of singers can do.
    And she has a completely unique ability to express emotions in her singing - which you will experience in The Poet and the Pendulum.

Please poet and the Pendulum next. thank you.

    I love your attention to detail regarding the musicality of Nightwish and this song. It is very interesting how they go from 7/8 or sets of 4/4 & 3/4 and then straighten it out for the chorus to 4/4. They go back and forth during the entire song until the second half. Then right at the ending vocal pattern they switch between 3/4 & 4/4 until the ending. Great analysis and reaction to this song. This was inspired by a Walt Whitman poem of the same name. Tuomas is an avid poetry fan and it shows in his lyrical compositions. You are ready for Poet and the Pendulum. Just check on-line for the story behind this song. That way you will understand what the song is about before you listen. This is critical to understand the performance. It has very deep meaning for Tuomas (correct on the pronounciation) and the rest of the original members who were involved in the breakup with the 1st vocalist, Tarja. Many people will comment on the emotion as an unrequited love between Tuomas and Tarja, which has never been acknowledged. I however think the emotional response was about Tuomas' dream of creating Nightwish. His music and poetry, a labor of love for his fans, and his depression about the possible loss of all he had worked so hard to establish. It is obviously done with a nod to Edgar Allen Poe's masterpiece, "The Pit and the Pendulum". I look forward with anticipation to your reaction and analysis to what may be Tuomas' most emotional masterpiece. Below a few lines from the ending of "Song of Myself". Be well! Peace my friend.

      I think for better understanding Poet and the Pendulum one needs to hear at least one song with Tarja - for me it would be Sleeping Sun. Then I think the feelings behind the Poet and the Pandulum will make more sense to the audience...

    You are one of the few reactors that I actually _listen_ to. Many others, I hit play, then fast forward, just so they get some sort of viewership credit.
    You, on the other, hand, I listen to. I have been a musician all my life and tend to hear things differently than my friends or family. So, listening to your opinion is often validation for my own thoughts, but also revelation because of how much _more_ you bring to the conversation than I could possibly come up with.

    It seems that not many people know Floor is a High Sensitive Person (her own statement). High sensitivity, also called HSP, appears to occur in about 20% of the population. It is a unique quality (not an illness or condition)! Highly sensitive people have the ability to process sensory stimuli in a different and unique way. Often they are intuitive, highly sensitive to the atmosphere and are able to read and estimate people. Floor uses this to her advantage in her singing and performing, better yet, she made an art form out if it (my personal believe). This explains partly why Floor is so overwhelmingly power full in her performance. Her talent, voice, technique and hard work is amplified by her highly developed sensitive side...(if you ask me)... and of course she is fueled by the enthusiasm of the Nightwish fans...

      @@ChaseCarneson I would like to make one suggestion for a specific future reaction video. People often ask to research the Poet and The Pendulum before reacting. Personally I am not a fan of that. The work should speak for itself -- and yes it has a deeper meaning. My suggestion would be before you finish up your reaction to read up on the back story behind it in retrospect and then add your thoughts on that to the reaction video.
      ps. Just a heads up, in the first act of the song is a choir boy singing, you may want to mute that out or you will run the risk of getting automated takedown requests by TH-cam on behalf of a German rapper (or his label) who has the rights to a sample from that song.

    Hey Chase,
    thank you so much for your analysis. That you caught the creepy humming in the beginning is so crazy, I have not noticed that yet. And now it makes so much sense, the creepy stuff is all over that song, starting from the hum, over to the almost glockenspiel-like sound and then the creepy picked violin part. Also fits the lyrics.
    I usually see myself as someone who picks up on composition things but you really give me a completely new picture of every song, so thank you so much for that!

    I love it when people start counting. Sounds like there was some 7/4 in there and in this case it's like an up-tempo version of "Money" by Pink Floyd haha. One of my favorite things about this song is the lyric "A song of me, a song in need of a courageous symphony" is so damn powerful to me. And I'm not a lyric guy. I'm the type of person who hears a song and is 70% oblivious as to what the lyrical content is. But that kinda stuff is so awesome to me. Glad you're liking your NW journey. I'm loving taking it with you. Keep up the good work! Cheers.

    Jukko was the drummer back then, and he was a showman, practically beating his kit to death. Sadly, he had to step down from performing due to chronic insomnia.
    Kai, his replacement, is equally talented, but more of a technician, going for a faster, more intricate, but less percussive style.

    Sidenote about Jukka (the drummer) he was suffering with total insomnia at that time, so probably had not slept much if at all.
    The precision and above that, raw emotion and agression he put in at the appropriate times ... pretty awesome. The difference between him and Kai (the new drummer) taught me you can actually transfer quite a lot (or very little) emotion using an instrument I thought quite technical and binary.
