Tuomas wrote the second verse for Floor, her husband and their daughter. Floor's eyes did not stay dry when he told her about it. Check out the acoustic version at Planet Rock, just Floor , Troy , and a guitar.
Absolutely true. Still I cry with songs from Nightwish I must have listened to dozens and dozens of times. There is a lot of love in this band. And Floor....she is beyond words for me.
I'm 61 and constantly shedding tears with Nightwish. It is a cleansing, a beautiful gift, a moment to really feel fully activated and alive! I truly feel sorry for people who cannot or will not access their tears. I'm very grateful for the depth of emotion Nightwish brings me.
Crying doesn't make you less of a man. It means you are sensitive person and that's not less manly at all. By the way you should listen the acoustic version in planet rock it's more emotional and intimate.
Andrei, don't be afraid of showing emotions. For many years I couldn't cry, even during bad times like the passing of close ones. Since I discovered Nigthwish all the emotions appeared again. Some of the songs I can't watch/listen without crying. I followed your channel since you discovered Nightwish and, although I don't comment much, I saw everyone of your reactions. You guys are awesome, keep it up. Greetings from Portugal 🤘
You are a beautiful soul Andrei, you made me cry too. We need more people in the world who care...and you obviously do. 😊 🙏👋 But like everyone said, now you need to see the acoustic version. It'll blow your mind. 😁❤️
67 y old Dutch man. Seen lots of, even extreme, misery in my professional career in social psychiatry. But Floor and Nightwish are able to make me cry like no one ever did before It's just heart piercingly beautiful. So what else can you do than shedding healing tears?
André you must be proud of yourself, you're a man with emotions and feelings. We all cry at a lot at songs with Floor. She really warms your heart. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
You are beautiful Andrei! The tears we share together with Nightwish join us in this beautiful experience of music, art, emotion and life! Please know when your tears flow, they flow along with ours. Its a beautiful thing!!
First things first, Happy Birthday Floor Jansen (21.02) 🤘🥳🤘!!! The second verse Tuomas wrote for Floor, her husband Hannes van Dahl and their daughter Freja. This is Tuomas way to say: Thank you Floor for saving the band back in 2012 and make us great again. He wrote the part "We met where the cliff greets the sea" about her relationship with Hannes van Dahl (although is also a clear reference to Élan), and "Now there’s one who came from me / A child of light, another tale", which is about her giving birth to their daughter Freja. How cool is that? I mean, he really did what the song is about: human empathy. And what a better way to show it by dedicating a little part of the song for his friend and band mate? She said she went to tears when he mentioned it to her. And I can see why, it is a beautiful song. And....Only better version of this song is an acoustic version !!!! Nightwish - How's The Heart Acoustic (Planet Rock acoustic session) th-cam.com/video/yYtkPpFYzOo/w-d-xo.html PLUS: I was fortunate enough to witness this song "Live" and in acoustic. I was crying like a baby through the whole song .... Floor can break us "Tough guys" with her voice left and right, and you know what...We like it !!!! NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.
You're reactions are wonderful because you are such awesome people - it's a joy to see you enjoying this amazing music 🤘 P.s. damned onions here as well
Great honest reaction! Something you missed, the band? The musicians are fantastic and not many can play like these guys! I’m a musician nearly all my life, and it amazes me how good they are! Well done!
You, you you beautiful people, we are a special family, warming at this most beautiful music, I cried with you. 💕 I'm very, very happy, you discover their latest album. Their absolute Masterpiece. Not everyone does this. Thank you very, very much. Greeting from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
YOU both are just beautiful... NW is 49 percent emotion, 49 percent love of music and 2 percent sharing the knowledge of those 98 percent with someone..
Happy Birthday Floor 🌹💕 I'd like to mention that Troy's vocals are also so so great in this song, but then Floor ... she can melt everyting with her voice.
Que honesta y hermosa reacción. Pensé que era la única persona que se conmovía y lloraba con ésta hermosa canción. Cómo está tu corazón? Es la pregunta que todos nos deberíamos hacer al final del día, para levantarnos al otro día, con inmensas ganas de vivir. Son una genuina y hermosa pareja. Felicitaciones.
Hey I am a rough tough Georgia man here, and Floor's voice is just magical. In a chat with Floor, I told her that her voice gets me emotional, can't even be helped. Floor's voice is just magic!
Nightwish are all about emotions - and Floor is the ultimate storyteller, able to reach out into the mind and soul of people. I am 64 and I tear up because Nightwish gives me the right to do it - this is what life is all about - happy feelings also makes people cry - and this is a genuine, honest and deep and happy song. And it hits hard - because Floor is using her powers.
You are beautiful people and your reaction Andrei is hartwarming. I love Nightwish, they helped me through difficult times. The acoustic version is so beautiful as well. Oh btw happy birthday Floor🖤
One of thousands that are hit with the emotion of Tuomas's writing, the instrumentation and Floor's voice, myself included. Never apologize for emotions!! :)
Underrated is not the right word for this song BUT it doesn't get the play so many NW songs do. It is an incredible song, so heartfelt, and in MY book one of their top ten songs. It brings tears virtually every time I hear it.
You are such a lovely couple! You have already become my favourite reactors. It is heartwarming to watch you listen to the beautiful touching music of Nightwish. And you are right: Floor has a "healing voice". I always feel better when listening to her.
I've seen many many reactions to this song (like many of us have), and I have to say, your reaction is one of the best I've seen - it always affects me when someone cries. Keep them coming. You are both a credit to yourselves! Take good care of yourselves 😃
Both of you are amazing souls... This song just says what's important, right? Just care for the next human being. That's all. Both of your reactions are endearing to the heart and comes perfectly with the message of the song. Andrei, you're a tough man, buddy! Your courage to be vulnerable and show your feelings so openly here is amazing! P.S.: A curiosity, "Now there's one who came from me... a child of light, another tale."... this part of the lyrics Tuomas made for Freja, Floor's daughter. If you watch any of her performances when she sings this song, she puts her hand on her belly every time she gets to this verse. It's beautiful. Andrei and Dominika, thank you!!
Happy Birthday to Floor! 🎂🎂🎁🎁🎈🎈🥂🥂 You are funny Andrei! Dominika is just concerned. She loves you and doesn't want your heart to be bad. Dominika, give Andrei a big hug. He needs one. He feels this music deeply. You are a lucky woman Dominika! Andrei obviously has a beautiful soul. Th second verse is all about Floor and her family. Those onion ninjas are at it again. So touching and beautiful seeing you react out to stroke Andrei's cheek. You two are so wonderful. Andrei, you emotional reaction is more than a thousand words could express. Tears of joy. I feel them also when I listen to Nightwish and the beautiful voice of Floor. What a man! You are a Viking with a wonderful soul.
The second verse is about Floor. Floor and Hannes, and theirs daughter Freya. But there are more...Rose up rooted, hid a note ( rose=flower>floor, up rooted ( Floor's family moved alot when she was a child) hid a note ( ghost love score's final note) You know where, you've been there ( wacken 2013 and we all have been there)
Great interpretation of the song and reaction. Andre's tears are as real and honest a reaction as you can get. I would also recommend the acoustic version - it's excellent. Also, Dominque made me smile with her comment that Tuomas "is a poet, as we know it".....you're a poet, too!!
I feel for you fully. This is one of my absolute favorites, and I always 😭 to it. The message is so utmost beautiful: kindness, caring and love. "Burn the rope and dance some more". And those harmonies are spectacular. And by the way, we "vikings" are broken and emotional human beings too.⛄❄👍
André, as said before, there's never a need to apologize. Indeed I think you have done the one of the bravest things: being yourself with few filters and full emotion. That is what to me is a strength and confidence in a reactor. Sometimes I too get misty-eyed or shed a tear with NW, so please come join the emotional brigade of the army😃.
Fantastic (couple of) human beings !! I cry all the time by listening music. Lyrics or music can trigger it or a good combination will trigger it fastest. My Asian wife at first didn’t know what to think of it. Over there emotion and showing it is a completely different ballgame. She didn’t understand that in a ring fighting another man I could turn in what she considers a monster and on the other hand at a cremation I sometimes was smiling. So easy for me when I’ve good memories of that person and especially when their suffering stops. Nowadays after many years she understands and even know to which band or music I’m listening….. How’s the ❤️
There is a difference between being tough and strong Sir... a strong person knows when he needs to be tough, a tough person just thinks that's what it is to be strong. If world leaders were strong like you, and not just put on their tough act, we would be in another situation... on a human level, you have my utmost respect dear Sir. If I physically met someone with your heart and demeanor, that person would instantly be my friend for life.There is so much more power in one single tear caused by beauty, than any ignorant fist...Don't change. Please, don't change.
I as a child had it beaten into me men don't cry with all the pain i suffered as a child i became a very hardened young man until i watched this sad movie that had a scene where this kids dog died and i couldn't stop the tears they just flooded out. As embarrising as it was for me it also brought me great releif and i finally felt human again. That day taught me that it's natural to cry and share emotions and it is weakness why people hide their emotions fear of being vunerable and looking weak but it takes great strength to be honest with yourself. Be proud to be expressive with yourself. You help the world mend knowing there's another great soul on earth. Hardened people become bitter emotional people express caring and the world needs healing more now then ever.
I consider myself a rational human being, some may call me a nerd, yet music like this, as well as movies and good books make my eyes water. My mother, 92 years old, explained that this is a sign of empathy and humanity, and people that can feel that emotion should be proud of it.
Your reaction and many others reactions is why I love NW. I love seeing the joy and humility that comes out of the fans. They are a whole experience and their music unites so many people!
Wonderful reaction and Andre, don`t shame for your tears, i cry also if i hears the song. In my opinion, the picture at 10:00 minute shows Floor and Hannes.
Nothing wrong with a man who is TOUGH enough to shed a few tears!!!!! I would suggest you check out the acoustic version at Planet Rock. That is like cutting a million onions. When I saw them I waned them to play the acoustic version and I was so lucky that they did at my show. Also a word of warning....When you get to Procession please have the tissue ready. Not only the lyrics that Tuomas wrote but the flawless way Floor delivers them.
Good story...♥️ The second couplet of this number is actually written by Tuomas for Floor and describes her experience of meeting by the love of her life Hannes von Dahl (Sabaton) and having her daughter.... *Een kind van het licht* Really beautiful ♥️
Lovely reaction by you both. but I do concur that the Planet Rock acoustic version is even more amazing. Nightwish has been performing this live on their 2022 Human | Nature world tour, and in December, they switched it up to doing the acoustic version, which I like even better. Check out the Planet Rock acoustic version with just Floor and Troy. Thank you for this.
Your reactions are great. I've seen a few people nodding their heads and smiling like robots at the more serious moments of a song, even though the lyrics were deep and meaningful.
I'm a bit late but I have to comment on this. Don't worry Andrei, your tears only show how good human you are. And this definitely becomes one of my favourite reactions of yours. I cried and laughed at the same time watching you both. This song is really special to me, but when I think of this song I think of the acoustic version which, I'm sure others already told you, you MUST react to as well. I think that this song is really important, because people are so used to ask "How are you?" without truly asking it. We should all care about each others and honestly ask people how they are. Even strangers. If we did that, I think this world would be much better place. And when I first heard this song I felt so grateful to Tuomas for it, for those words, and I just wished every single person listened to it. Huge hugs for both of you. And please check the acoustic version. You will be blown away. 🖤
BTW, this song is much about Floor, checkout the silhouette and verses about no child, then she was blessed with her daughter, met her husband Hannes by the cliffs., and then their silhouette walking together. Her being an "Empath" as she too has 'been there'., etc.. And Andre, please don't apologize for having such a caring heart of your own. We're all there with you.
Happy birthday to Floor today! 🎂🥳. Lovely lyrics from Tuomas. You’re a good man Andrei. Showing emotion that you feel doesn’t make you less “tough”. You can still be the viking within you. I personally prefer this full band version to the acoustic duet with Troy that they are doing live sometimes now. Keep exploring Nightwish!
Meaning I thought it was so nice of Tuomas to write a few texts of How's the Heart dedicated to Floor. According to her podcast on Spotify, he wrote the part "We met where the cliff greets the sea" about her relationship with Hannes van Dahl (although it is also a clear reference to Élan), and "Now there's one who come from me / A kind of light, another story", which is about her birth of their daughter Freja. How cool is that? I mean, he really did what the song is about: human empathy. And what better way to show it by dedicating a small part of the song to his friend and bandmate? She said she was in tears when he told her. And I can see why, it's a beautiful song. He did the same with Tarja in She Is My Sin and Ever Dream, although some also say that Two for Tragedy is about his "unrequited love" for her. And Bye Bye Beautiful of course, for the already known subjects. Many also mention that Yours Is an Empty Hope is somehow focused on Anette and how she spoke about them to the media after their split. The song was also co-written with Marko, and I know he felt the issues surrounding the relationship between Anette and the band deeply before she left, according to his book. On the positive side, I know Tuomas wrote the bonus track Nightquest, by Oceanborn, as a tribute to all the band members at the time. It's a very funny song, by the way.
Tuomas wrote the second verse for Floor, her husband and their daughter. Floor's eyes did not stay dry when he told her about it.
Check out the acoustic version at Planet Rock, just Floor , Troy , and a guitar.
I concur.
yes plz .....this version is so much better ......th-cam.com/video/yYtkPpFYzOo/w-d-xo.html
I concur
"Check out the acoustic version at Planet Rock, just Floor , Troy , and a guitar."
Yes, flood warning, oniontrucks are on the move. 😉
I concur
Please don't apologize for your emotions. I am a 63 year old man and Nightwish brings me to tears all the time. Tears heal the soul. Thank you.
As Accept sang: "I Am Man Enough To Cry" th-cam.com/video/q378zbpypwA/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely true. Still I cry with songs from Nightwish I must have listened to dozens and dozens of times. There is a lot of love in this band. And Floor....she is beyond words for me.
Nightwish is good for us (medicine for the soul )❤
I'm 61 and constantly shedding tears with Nightwish. It is a cleansing, a beautiful gift, a moment to really feel fully activated and alive! I truly feel sorry for people who cannot or will not access their tears. I'm very grateful for the depth of emotion Nightwish brings me.
I concur. 63 here 🙂
Crying doesn't make you less of a man. It means you are sensitive person and that's not less manly at all. By the way you should listen the acoustic version in planet rock it's more emotional and intimate.
Now you could do the live acoustic version of this song that Floor & Troy did at Planet Rock. Troy is still deaf on his left ear. 😄
Haha yes and did you see his face at the end 😂
I concur.
Oh yes, please do!!!
😂😂😂
Definitely must be
Acoustic Planet Rock
I concur
Andrei, don't be afraid of showing emotions. For many years I couldn't cry, even during bad times like the passing of close ones. Since I discovered Nigthwish all the emotions appeared again. Some of the songs I can't watch/listen without crying.
I followed your channel since you discovered Nightwish and, although I don't comment much, I saw everyone of your reactions. You guys are awesome, keep it up. Greetings from Portugal 🤘
Oh Andrei!! What a BUEATIFUL soul you are! You two are the sweetest most genuine people!
To show emotion is a strength not a weakness!
Love you both!
You are the sweetest and most heartfelt couple! 😄🤘 Please stay just as you are! 🥰
It is NOT embarrassing! I should think most Nightwish fans cry during some songs. I know I do with many of them.
You are a beautiful soul Andrei, you made me cry too. We need more people in the world who care...and you obviously do. 😊 🙏👋 But like everyone said, now you need to see the acoustic version. It'll blow your mind. 😁❤️
67 y old Dutch man. Seen lots of, even extreme, misery in my professional career in social psychiatry. But Floor and Nightwish are able to make me cry like no one ever did before
It's just heart piercingly beautiful. So what else can you do than shedding healing tears?
Floors onion ninjas got you too.
Dont worry Floor touches our soul .
Happy birthday Floor xxxxxx
André you must be proud of yourself, you're a man with emotions and feelings. We all cry at a lot at songs with Floor. She really warms your heart. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
You should definitely do the acoustic version from Planet Rock, it's amazing.
I concur
Most definitely!!
I concur.
i concur
Please try the acoustic version of this one, it’s going to make you cry some more, but it’s so beautiful 😍
Couldn't agree more, please do!
I strongly concur 👍👍
No shame, right there with you Andrei. The lyrics and Floors voice do it to me every time...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FLOOR 🎂 🥳
REAL MEN CRY !!
You are beautiful Andrei! The tears we share together with Nightwish join us in this beautiful experience of music, art, emotion and life! Please know when your tears flow, they flow along with ours. Its a beautiful thing!!
The Empathic Emotions only prove you're human & have a good heart 💞🤘
First things first, Happy Birthday Floor Jansen (21.02) 🤘🥳🤘!!!

Love the second verse, Thomas wrote that especially for Floor,a tribute 😊
Don't worry about the tears, nightwish can give you all the emotions in the world ,in any song
Toughness is when you do something you are afraid of. Cry in front of the camera even if you're scared is tough
Great honest reaction! Something you missed, the band? The musicians are fantastic and not many can play like these guys! I’m a musician nearly all my life, and it amazes me how good they are! Well done!
i concur
You, you you beautiful people, we are a special family, warming at this most beautiful music, I cried with you. 💕
I'm very, very happy, you discover their latest album. Their absolute Masterpiece.
Not everyone does this.
Thank you very, very much.
Greeting from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
YOU both are just beautiful... NW is 49 percent emotion, 49 percent love of music and 2 percent sharing the knowledge of those 98 percent with someone..
Happy Birthday Floor 🌹💕
I'd like to mention that Troy's vocals are also so so great in this song, but then Floor ... she can melt everyting with her voice.
Que honesta y hermosa reacción. Pensé que era la única persona que se conmovía y lloraba con ésta hermosa canción.
Cómo está tu corazón? Es la pregunta que todos nos deberíamos hacer al final del día, para levantarnos al otro día, con inmensas ganas de vivir.
Son una genuina y hermosa pareja.
Felicitaciones.
Hey I am a rough tough Georgia man here, and Floor's voice is just magical. In a chat with Floor, I told her that her voice gets me emotional, can't even be helped. Floor's voice is just magic!
You two are just great to watch : NO matter the music :))))) Kinda like the nightwish too :))
This was your best reaction ever . love you two
I always tear up when Floor sings the line Toumas wrote for her. Now there is one who came from me. A child of light, another tale. Dear one ❤️
Nightwish brings out the best part of us.
We feel it too.
Nightwish are all about emotions - and Floor is the ultimate storyteller, able to reach out into the mind and soul of people.
I am 64 and I tear up because Nightwish gives me the right to do it - this is what life is all about - happy feelings also makes people cry - and this is a genuine, honest and deep and happy song. And it hits hard - because Floor is using her powers.
There are a lot of people that can take an example of you two .. respect .. emotion .. just {like] a 👍🤘✌human .. Greetings from Amsterdam
You two...❤️🥰❤️..I love that you are so real! ❤️
You are just perfect the way you are Andrei! Pls never change!!
A man that cries is a strong man. And you two as a couple are so beautiful. ❤
"Ypu feel you have enerything" -> if I ever heard a summary of this song, THIS IS THE ONE!
You are beautiful people and your reaction Andrei is hartwarming. I love Nightwish, they helped me through difficult times. The acoustic version is so beautiful as well. Oh btw happy birthday Floor🖤
One of thousands that are hit with the emotion of Tuomas's writing, the instrumentation and Floor's voice, myself included. Never apologize for emotions!! :)

HER VOICE FILLS YOUR HART. You said that very nicely. Since I discovered Nightwish, my doctor visits have gone down.🎼🎵🙂
Both of you are amazing souls... This song just says what's important, right? Just care for the next human being. That's all. Both of your reactions are endearing to the heart and comes perfectly with the message of the song.

Don't be ashamed, the Goddess of Metal and Empathy can bring anyone to tears. 😇😢😢
Thank you for truly recognizing Tuomas' work. He is amazing 💜
Best reactors on TH-cam! Make me laugh. Make me cry. So happy to enjoy music from you
Absolute masterpiece❤❤❤ words are not enough…..loving it so much
Happy Birthday Floor🌹. The second vers is yours..Tanks Tuomas, to do it.🤗🤘
Happy Birthday to Floor! 🎂🎂🎁🎁🎈🎈🥂🥂
You are funny Andrei! Dominika is just concerned. She loves you and doesn't want your heart to be bad. Dominika, give Andrei a big hug. He needs one. He feels this music deeply. You are a lucky woman Dominika! Andrei obviously has a beautiful soul. Th second verse is all about Floor and her family. Those onion ninjas are at it again.
So touching and beautiful seeing you react out to stroke Andrei's cheek. You two are so wonderful.
Andrei, you emotional reaction is more than a thousand words could express. Tears of joy. I feel them also when I listen to Nightwish and the beautiful voice of Floor. What a man! You are a Viking with a wonderful soul.
What a beautiful reaction, love you both I like your honesty. Thanks, keep going
The second verse is about Floor. Floor and Hannes, and theirs daughter Freya. But there are more...Rose up rooted, hid a note ( rose=flower>floor, up rooted ( Floor's family moved alot when she was a child) hid a note ( ghost love score's final note) You know where, you've been there ( wacken 2013 and we all have been there)
This is treasure. You are reacting as Tuomas loves people do.
oooooh, you should have done the acoustic version......... Crying a river, everytime.
He sure is a tough guy.. until a song touches your soul :D Nothing to worry!
I was crying first 5 times when I've listened this song. The meaning is very touching, it's the song about human sympathy.
You guys are beautiful and don't worry about it dude I'm a 56-year-old man who cries every time I hear her voice it's just beautiful
You two are the best.
Hows your Heart Andre . I think a man also can cry. Never apologize for it. Your not less a man. This song is amazing.
it's all about empathy, and it's important and reaaly a good thing that you both have empathy !
Ho visto tante di vostre reazioni ai Nightwish che sapevo già prima che iniziasse la canzone che lui avrebbe pianto . Siete magnifici ❤
Congratulations Floor with your 42th birthday ❤🎉
Love the Song, love your reaction, feeling the same. So great to watch. I share your feelings ❤️
You two are the nicest people 🥰
Acoustic acoustic acoustic acoustic 🤘🎸🤘
This is one of the most touching songs from the last album and I can't listen to it without becoming emotional.
Great interpretation of the song and reaction. Andre's tears are as real and honest a reaction as you can get. I would also recommend the acoustic version - it's excellent.
Also, Dominque made me smile with her comment that Tuomas "is a poet, as we know it".....you're a poet, too!!
You both are wonderful, great reaction.
Floor has the ability to make us all cry sooner or later. 😊🤘
I feel for you fully. This is one of my absolute favorites, and I always 😭 to it.
The message is so utmost beautiful: kindness, caring and love. "Burn the rope and dance some more". And those harmonies are spectacular.
And by the way, we "vikings" are broken and emotional human beings too.⛄❄👍
André, as said before, there's never a need to apologize. Indeed I think you have done the one of the bravest things: being yourself with few filters and full emotion. That is what to me is a strength and confidence in a reactor. Sometimes I too get misty-eyed or shed a tear with NW, so please come join the emotional brigade of the army😃.

Caly czas tu jestesmy :) Pozdrowienia dla was
You guys are so funny .. and quite wonderful. I could so wish I had you as neighbors. ;)
u 2 ar great love you.
❤ Hahaha… this reaction vid was one of the funniest for a long time…. 😂 I am also crying… great….
Accoustic version needed
Troy and Floor
A guitar and a voice
Sweet kisses from France beautiful people 😘😘😘
There is a difference between being tough and strong Sir... a strong person knows when he needs to be tough, a tough person just thinks that's what it is to be strong. If world leaders were strong like you, and not just put on their tough act, we would be in another situation... on a human level, you have my utmost respect dear Sir. If I physically met someone with your heart and demeanor, that person would instantly be my friend for life.There is so much more power in one single tear caused by beauty, than any ignorant fist...Don't change.

Showing your emotions is way more tough, in my opinion! Don't worry, we all feel it
I as a child had it beaten into me men don't cry with all the pain i suffered as a child i became a very hardened young man until i watched this sad movie that had a scene where this kids dog died and i couldn't stop the tears they just flooded out. As embarrising as it was for me it also brought me great releif and i finally felt human again.

Hardened people become bitter emotional people express caring and the world needs healing more now then ever.
Very touching ...
I consider myself a rational human being, some may call me a nerd, yet music like this, as well as movies and good books make my eyes water. My mother, 92 years old, explained that this is a sign of empathy and humanity, and people that can feel that emotion should be proud of it.

Nothing wrong with a man who is TOUGH enough to shed a few tears!!!!! I would suggest you check out the acoustic version at Planet Rock. That is like cutting a million onions. When I saw them I waned them to play the acoustic version and I was so lucky that they did at my show. Also a word of warning....When you get to Procession please have the tissue ready. Not only the lyrics that Tuomas wrote but the flawless way Floor delivers them.
Did you knowtise Emppus gitar riff was a heart beat in this song? ❤️
Good story...♥️
The second couplet of this number is actually written
by Tuomas for Floor and describes her experience
of meeting by the love of
her life Hannes von Dahl (Sabaton)
and having her daughter....
*Een kind van het licht*
Really beautiful ♥️
Best reaction ever!!
Lovely reaction by you both. but I do concur that the Planet Rock acoustic version is even more amazing. Nightwish has been performing this live on their 2022 Human | Nature world tour, and in December, they switched it up to doing the acoustic version, which I like even better. Check out the Planet Rock acoustic version with just Floor and Troy. Thank you for this.
Your reactions are great. I've seen a few people nodding their heads and smiling like robots at the more serious moments of a song, even though the lyrics were deep and meaningful.
I'm a bit late but I have to comment on this.
Don't worry Andrei, your tears only show how good human you are. And this definitely becomes one of my favourite reactions of yours. I cried and laughed at the same time watching you both.
This song is really special to me, but when I think of this song I think of the acoustic version which, I'm sure others already told you, you MUST react to as well.
I think that this song is really important, because people are so used to ask "How are you?" without truly asking it. We should all care about each others and honestly ask people how they are. Even strangers. If we did that, I think this world would be much better place. And when I first heard this song I felt so grateful to Tuomas for it, for those words, and I just wished every single person listened to it.
Huge hugs for both of you. And please check the acoustic version. You will be blown away. 🖤
BTW, this song is much about Floor, checkout the silhouette and verses about no child, then she was blessed with her daughter, met her husband Hannes by the cliffs., and then their silhouette walking together. Her being an "Empath" as she too has 'been there'., etc.. And Andre, please don't apologize for having such a caring heart of your own. We're all there with you.
Happy birthday to Floor today! 🎂🥳. Lovely lyrics from Tuomas. You’re a good man Andrei. Showing emotion that you feel doesn’t make you less “tough”. You can still be the viking within you. I personally prefer this full band version to the acoustic duet with Troy that they are doing live sometimes now. Keep exploring Nightwish!
I often get the same reaction when listen to Nightwish, specially to this song ❤ (btw. I am a man too)
As allways great reaction🤘
I love the two of you :)
Meaning
I thought it was so nice of Tuomas to write a few texts of How's the Heart dedicated to Floor. According to her podcast on Spotify, he wrote the part "We met where the cliff greets the sea" about her relationship with Hannes van Dahl (although it is also a clear reference to Élan), and "Now there's one who come from me / A kind of light, another story", which is about her birth of their daughter Freja. How cool is that?
I mean, he really did what the song is about: human empathy. And what better way to show it by dedicating a small part of the song to his friend and bandmate? She said she was in tears when he told her. And I can see why, it's a beautiful song.
He did the same with Tarja in She Is My Sin and Ever Dream, although some also say that Two for Tragedy is about his "unrequited love" for her. And Bye Bye Beautiful of course, for the already known subjects.
Many also mention that Yours Is an Empty Hope is somehow focused on Anette and how she spoke about them to the media after their split. The song was also co-written with Marko, and I know he felt the issues surrounding the relationship between Anette and the band deeply before she left, according to his book.
On the positive side, I know Tuomas wrote the bonus track Nightquest, by Oceanborn, as a tribute to all the band members at the time. It's a very funny song, by the way.
Where can I hear that podacst? 😊
