    I love it when classically trained musicians react to Nightwish, and fully appreciate the musical genius of Tuomas Holopainen, and indeed the rest of the band.

    Great to see tou back with another NIGHTWISH reaction! At some point, you have got to react to
    NIGHTWISH - The POET and the PENDULUM, Wembley Arena 2015,
    A masterpiece in 5 movements, five stages of grief, very dramatic, like a mini opera, many different vocal styles, amazing performance.
    and
    NIGHTWISH - The GREATEST SHOW on EARTH, Tampere 2015
    The performance lives up to the title of the song.

    Wow, really, one of the best reaction/musical breakdowns I've ever seen! Thank you....... Their complex time signatures are so integral to their music, and it is NOT easy to break that down, and you did it so so well...... Also your music theory is awesome, showing how Tuomas uses subtle nods to modal shifts and secondary dominants, frequent key changes etc, ...... He truly is genius like no other in modern genre's,...... so steeped in classical trappings. One thing for you to know is that those WERE horns, but not plated by Tuomas on his Kronos keyboards. Nightwish performs to backing tracks that are written by Tuomas but arranged by a famous arranger that the name eludes me at the moment, and performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. The vocal chorus parts are also performed by a famous choir as well that someone will recall I'm sure.
    Floor is just truly a once in a lifetime talent, really a force of nature ..... In every way...... I mean just look at her, lol, her physical presence and stature COMMANDS attention on stage or anywhere for that matter, and no doubt her physical self has a huge effect on her sound and vocal abilities, resonance, breath control, stamina etc...... You touched on what not many people recognize is SO difficult about trying to reproduce or cover the vocals on this song, ( actually a lot of Tuomas's compositions ) and that is that like you said it's riddled with tons of chromatic half step intervals that are all over the place, that jump to higher or lower intervals that are not common in most genre's of music....... Floor just navigates these with such ease and PRECISION! And it's RAPID fire! A lot of people gloss over her tuning ability, i know you don't because in your genre it is expected, but wow, Floor's pitch is just dead on ...... and all those super rapid half steps up, down, up, up, down, big jump, ...... SUPER easy to get pitchy right?! And she's just not even thinking about, ....
    Just the performance. Of course the middle, my God, glorious ...... she never ceases to give goose bumps and tears..... and the end ...... the vocalizations ...... ugggh! That mouth and the sound that just flies out...... I don't think I've ever heard a voice that sounds so open, and free, ...... Her creativity is just simply not limited by her vocal ability in any way.

    This is often considered to be one of their most simple songs, but nothing is ever as simple as it seems with Nightwish.

  • @DrumsAndGadgets
    @DrumsAndGadgets 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +16

    That "opera style" part in 31:13 is actually in the album a choral part that Floor decided to sing live herself. This song was sung originally by Annete Olson, their previous singer that Floor was (at the time this concert was recorded) subbing. Great reaction / breakdown, as usual! You should check their song called "Shoemaker". Floor does some vocal acrobatics with melody and breathing. For a vocalist it is a very busy song.

  • @peccatumDei
    @peccatumDei 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    This song was written when Anette Olzon was the vocalist for Nightwish, and that high, operatic part was not sung by Anette, but was part of the children's chorus on the backing track. Floor however was/is able to sing it herself, so they went to that for the live performances.

One suggestion for a reaction would be Reborn by Xandria(German symphonic metal). The singer Ambre(French) is competent in classical, rock/metal and adds harsh vocals occasionally. Looking forward to your next one. 💕

    Extremely fast verses with rapid-fire lyrics and not much room to breathe is bit of a signature for Nightwish, and it's only gotten more so in recent albums. Tuomas has pushed Floor's vocal agility to the limits, more so than he has remotely challenged her range or sustain - everyone who has heard their latest single masterpiece "An Ocean Of Strange Islands" will know what I mean!

    this song took the composer about 2hours to write it, it is so amazing to live in times when this big geniuses like Tuomas Holopainen are at work.

    Thanks for sharing your detailed reaction/analysis to a song about the beauty of storytelling and imagination. The narrator imagines a world that is full of wonder and beauty, evoking a sense of awe and nostalgia. The song suggests that within each person is a "crib of Peter Pan," a reference to the timeless children's story, which holds the potential to bring stories to life and provide a refuge from reality. In the chorus, the narrator proclaims themselves to be the storyteller, offering readers their own brand of Neverland, a place where innocence, dreams, and memories come together. In the bridge and final chorus, Nightwish encourages listeners to embark on their own journey of discovery, setting sail on the limitless "chest of tales" to explore the limitless possibilities of imagination.

    Great to see talented people of other genres come arround to our Nightwish and begin understanding the attraction . If you just listen and let it take you somewhere , then you start to get it and truly appreciate the brilliance that Thuomas brings to the table along with reading the lyrics . It all has its place and is never stagnant , keeping the audience and listener engaged from start to finish , a rare trait in music of today . Good on You and well broken down with a trained ear , you pointed a few little treats out that I hadn't picked out previously listening to this track . That's Nightwish for you ! 😁 Next , if not already done , "The greatest show on earth" Live at Tampere or "The poet and the pendulum" Live at Wembley arena , These really showcase some versatility . I would advise to read the lyrics first then react to the song as there will be ALOT to unpack , And I mean ALOT ! Cheers 🇦🇺

Loved every second of this. I'm not educated in music theory so I don't know exactly why I connect with Nightwish so strongly and this makes me understand it a bit better. I just never get bored of these songs and I feel like I can always discover something new. They are full of surprises, but I can't pinpoint what they are and why is it different to some other music. Like this song is so catchy and easy to sing a long to the melody instantly that it feels like it must be simple, but somehow it doesn't get boring after multiple listens, so maybe it isn't. Your explanation is very helpful.

    Hi, I love your analysis! Great reaction. Liked! (Already subbed). Thank you for the great analysis, it helps me appreciate the song even more!
    I adore Floor Jansen. The thing that a lot of people don't realize is that she was NOT IN A BAND just the previous year before. She was suffering BURNOUT from the years and years she had putting in work in the music world, with her previous bands. As amazing and deserving as she is and was, she was still pretty unknown. After Forever was kind of known but not the kind of recognition like Nightwish had. Anyway Nightwish called her up MID TOUR in late 2012, and this Wacken show in 2013 was the resulted accumulation of her learning the songs during that tour. Figuring out what worked for her and how she could make each song her own. And EVERY SONG from Wacken was, to me, a perfect 10/10. It was also the first time she recorded anything with Nightwish. And look at her, in this song and in all the others, from Ghost Love Score to Nemo to Everdream. They're all unbelievable. She was in a zone. An absolute vocal CLINIC.

    What I expected: A great reaction.
    What I got: A great reaction along with a really interesting exploration of the music, theory and skill put into practice to make a great song.
    Thank you!!
    And I agree with others: Poet and the Pendulum. But also Ghost Love Score (Wacken 2013) - if you haven’t already - which leaves me speechless even after years of listening to it.

    It somehow strike me, when Opera Singer says abouy Tuomas "My God, is he so good.." because I just watch a clip of interview of Tuomas, where he said that when he was 15-16, he never even like music so much, albeit being practiced classical piano. But when he go that Metallica and Guns and Roses consert in US where he was exchange student, he described it being "allmost religious experince" and "something change here (in brain)"...he said when Guns n Roses start playing after Merallica, he didnt care, he was still completely in "Metallica high"..
    Great reaction 👌👍🏻🤘

    Peter Pan and Neverland definitely aren't the most typical subjects in metal songs. Holopainen however was a huge Disney fan before he even got into listening music. Metallica does refer to Neverland in their song 'Enter Sandman', and as it happened, when Holopainen was in the US as an exchange student, seeing Metallica live in 1992 made him a Metallica fan and got him into metal music. As he tells on this video about his favorite albums: "Levykauppa Äx esittää - Lempilevyni: Tuomas Holopainen".
    Being a huge Disney fan, Holopainen has also composed a soundtrack to Disney illustrator Don Rosa's graphic novel 'The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck'. Don Rosa's first impression of Holopainen, when he approached Rosa with the idea of composing the soundtrack, tells how untypical subject Disney is in metal songs. As an introduction to Don Rosa's interview about the project and to a song from that album; Holopainen isn't alone in being a Disney fan in Finland. E.g. the Donald Duck magazine ('Aku Ankka' in Finnish) is one of the most subscribed weekly magazines in Finland. Also-these are in Finnish-but they give a general idea of where Holopainen is coming from with his Disney fandom. First song is a classic Finnish song from 1936 by Georg Malmstén. Greta is his sister. Mickey Mouse is in distress at sea. A sea troll is after him: "Georg Malmstén & Greta Pitkänen ~ Mikkihiiri Merihädässä (1936)" Here her daughter Ragni performs the song in 1973. Coincident, maybe, but who does the sea captain look like?: "Ragni Malmsten - Mikki Hiiri merihädässä 1973". There's also this more recent Club For Five's a cappella version: "Mikkihiiri merihadassa by Club For Five". This beloved classic 'Grease' adaption comic bit is from 1979: "Sinut haluan vain Ritva Valkama & Pentti Siimes Parempi myöhään show". Here are interviews with Don Rosa and then with him and Holopainen about the 'Scrooge McDuck' project: "Don Rosa Aku Ankan toimituksen haastattelussa" and "Aku Ankan toimitus haastattelee: Tuomas Holopainen ja Don Rosa". Holopainen's wife Johanna Kurkela, who is a talented songwriter and a popular artist herself, sings the role of "Glittering" Goldie o'Gilt: "TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN - A Lifetime of Adventure (OFFICIAL VIDEO)".
    It's probably the greatest honor for a Finnish Disney fan to have a character based on oneself published in Aku Ankka magazine. Holopainen has had that honor together with his friend Jouni Hyhynen as characters named Hopolainen and Hymynen. You can find a picture of the characters online. Jouni Hynynen is the leader of a band called 'Kotiteollisuus'. Here they perform a song 'Fairytale About Trolls' with Holopainen: "Kotiteollisuus feat. Tuomas Holopainen - Satu Peikoista (LIVE, HIMOS 2010)". Kotitellisuus' version of Killing Joke's song 'Pandemonium' was released on the Killing Joke tribute album along with Metallica's version 'The Wait'. Holopainen took part in the project: "Kotiteollisuus - Pandemonium".
    To wrap this up, Metallica took inspiration to 'Enter Sandman' riff from a Finnish band Stone's song 'Get Stoned'. Even Ozzy makes an appearance. The question asked is "What do think about Metallica? What about Stone?". This happened before Holopainen discovered metal music: "Metallica & Stone Rockstop 1988 (Finnish television)" and "Stone - Get Stoned".
    And what has Marco been up to. Certainly something extremely metal?: "MARKO HIETALA - Frankenstein's Wife (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)"
