This song is about Eugene Shoemaker. He was one of the first Planetary geologist and he helped prove that craters on the Earth and Moon were made by meteor impacts. He discovered a comet that was monitored by NASA when it crashed into Jupiter. He was employed by NASA to train the astronauts in what they need to look for on the moon and was being trained as an astronaut when they discovered he had Addison's disease and therefore couldn't go. He died in a car crash in Australia and some of his ashes were carried on a probe which was to map the moon and then crash onto the moon. He is the only person to have his ashes on the moon. The poem was carved onto the urn that carried his ashes.
Well... Wow!! Just wow!!
@@GOTGames Adds that little "extra something" to an already stunning, gorgeous piece of music, doesn't it?
O.M.F.G. Thanks so much for telling us about that!
Take a look at the final sentence in this WikiPedia entry:- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Merle_Shoemaker#Awards_and_tributes
@@GOTGames The Shoemaker crater, where he is buried, is at the lunar south pole, so is in eternal earthrise, just as the song says. He is the only person to be buried on any celestial body other than earth.
When Floor joined Nightwish, Tuomas literally got another magical musical instrument
💯🤘
Composer Tuomas & singer Floor is just insane combo. We have to appreciate that they are in the same band.
Romanticide (Wacken 2013) next
💯💯💯💯
Definitely Romanticide: th-cam.com/video/zz_7OCCQlXs/w-d-xo.html
@@Sarcasticron definitly..storytime...oh wait🤔😜
I concur as well!! Greetings from the Netherlands 🤘🇳🇱🤘
@@GOTGames When they recorded this, Floor was not quite satisfied with her performance even after several takes.
So when she got home, she had another go, and this is the result, from her home studio. She sent it to Tuomas and it was the version used in the album track.
The passage from Romeo and Juliet is read by Tuomas' wife, Johanna Kurkela - an amazing musician in her own right and partner with Tuomas and Troy in the band "Auri".
When Floor does this live, especially at the end. Dead on, goosebumps all over the place.
I have seen Nightwish 3 times now and each time I came away feeling Shoemaker was the most divine moment of the night. That really says something considering how incredible all their songs are... So amazing!
I can't imagine how amazing it must be!! ❤️
Where did you see them?
@@Sarcasticron I seen them in Oslo, Tampere and Helsinki.
I would agree. I just saw them in Denver and it was stunning live.
Read a background story of Eugene Shoemaker and the song becomes even more beautiful
Watching the look on your face when Floor hits those notes at the end was priceless! LOL
I would love to see you do Sahara - Live at Tampa, next. Or Yours Is An Empty Hope. Live in Mexico City. But pay VERY close attention to the chorus.
Sahara, live at Tampa. Love that song and performance. Yours is an empty hope, might suprise you, again. Well, all of their songs does tbh ❤❤☺
Would be happy to check those out! 🤘
@@GOTGames I agree Yours is an Empty Hope, but definitely NOT the Mexico City. Wembley is a better choice
@@alyssacrnkovic2691 I like the one in Mexico City better because you can hearand SEE Floor much easier
Tuomas really tested Floor with the vocal lines on the Human:Nature album. And she answered the call, especially on this song. If you want to hear something that'll really make you gasp, try the acoustic version of 'How's the Heart'. The studio version (also from Human:Nature) is a great song, but the acoustic version in incredibly intimate and moving. Thanks for another great reaction!
@G.O.T Games ... Bob is right. You could even do the two side-by-side. They each have their power. But the acoustic one is extraordinarily intimate; especially the connection between Troy and Floor.
You should immediately react to the live version and put it up here as soon as possible LOL.... I was at the New York City show when they did this live and I had the same look in my face as you do right now
You going to love this one You going to love the ending. Mr. Shoemaker has a very special claim to fame.
Mr G.O.T I was a wreck with TEARS in my eyes exactly like yourself
Again I'm not a METAL HEAD BUT WHY DOES THIS BAND AFFECT ME THIS WAY.
GREAT REACTION.
Because no one hits like Nightwish. They get your soul, in the best way possible
i highly recommend to check out Within Temptation Black Symphony live concert with orchestra and choir. the whole concert is uploaded on youtube. just listen the intro and 1-2 songs. i think you'll watch the whole thing.
That face when Floor started opera, it was like looking in the mirror 🤯 when I first heard it. She is something else, singing songs from another genius.
This song is an Ode to the planetary geologist, Eugene Shoemaker. Check out who he is and how he die and was buried on the moon. The Shakespeare quote was etched on the capsule that held his ashes. you will then have much more understanding of the story behind this unique song.
I just saw Nightwish preform this song live on May 13th. It was incredible. Unfortunately, there is not a quality live recording of this song yet. This is from their latest record. They will soon be working on a new record for release in 23-24 probably.
Also Floor just announced the release of her 2nd solo single for May 27th. Her solo project is not metal, but still 100% Floor with all of the dramatic emotional vocal impact.
You can't go wrong with "Last Ride of the Day" from Masters of Rock or Wacken 2013. See you for the next journey! 🤘🤘
Oh wow!
I definitely will look more into that, sounds like an incredible story!
You really get the magic of Nightwish. I could see it in your eyes and those tears always come to me during that operatic resolution. Those vocals are truly divine. What a gift to the world Nightwish is... blows my mind!
Watching your genuine emotions is SO heartwarming each and every time.
And your intuition tells you very clearly what makes sense. HUGS and much LOVE!
♥
The Ad Astra Part is nothing but epic!
"Devil and the deep dark ocean" live from Buenos Aires next! Trust me! 💪😉
I love your face, love your reactions. The whole Nightwish army once reacted like you, hearing their songs for the first (and 2nd 3rd 4 th...) time. Every song is a journey, with lyrics that has a very deep meaning. What a beautiful song for Shoemaker, who is watching morning earth rise from the moon
The Laudato SI Ad Astra is awesome, mindblowing. Tuomas and Floor, what a perfect Combination
I was lucky enough to get one of the last three tickets to see NW in an old theater in San Francisco, just a few months ago. When they did this song and Floor KILLED the vocals at the end, there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Especially mine. Nightwish fans have coined the term FLOOR-gasm to describe the emotional reactions she can give us with just the power of her voice. I wish my crappy phone footage was worth posting, but PLEASE look for a recent LIVE performance of this song. They are newly posted so they won't have a lot of views yet. Their last song in the set is 'Greatest Show On Earth' followed by 'Ad Astra' as they took their bows. Their bows were long, deep, respectful and humble, showing the class of these musicians and their respect for their fans, the arts, and the music they create. Tumoas supposedly has some solo stuff out that I NEED to find as he is a modern day Beethoven. A true genius composer. I know that you have already reacted to 'Greatest Show On Earth' HOWEVER, you need to see their end of tour performance of the song in their homeland of Tampere, Finland. Even if you don't do a reaction to it. It is beautifully filmed, high quality and with lyrics that teach us about the science of creation. If you think that NW has blown you away before, put on your seat belt. Plus, the emotional ending will make you love the band even more.

Great reaction. On Wednesday night, I watched Nightwish and Floor perform this live at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco. Floor crushed this song to absolute perfection. The whole concert was incredible. The band had so much energy and Floor's voice was amazing throughout. Just wow! Tonight is their final show on the North America portion of the Nightwish world tour, then they head back to Europe. I am so thankful my wife and I got to see them live.
You should do the hole album "Human Nature"...in order. Great reaction on Shoemaker, loved it! 😃
For the moment it is best to listen to the studio versions of the songs on this album, eventually there will be another live vid for the current tour but the whole album has lyric vids of similar quality plus a good MV (noise). Given that you love Nightwish why not just start with ‘Music’ the first track and working your way through to ‘`Endlessness’ the last individual track. Finally check out the final multi-part track which was a separate CD with its fan made video (endorsed by Tuomas). Honestly you will be blown away by it all. Normally Nightwish is better live but in the case of HumanIINature the lyric vids are best for now.
Agreed, especially since all live versions are fan recorded using phones and/or potatoes.
I had trouble making it through Human||Nature, myself...because I just kept rewinding the first two songs and listening to them over and over!
I very much concur! :)
I actually discovered Floor only a few weeks ago in a german television show called Sing meinen Song (sing my song). She amongst others covered a song from Kelvin Jones (he's a british singer also on the show). I never heard anything by her but I was floored (pun intended) by her skills. Plus she actually speaks pretty good german. Such a nice woman.
Additionally I wanna say, I really enjoy watching your videos, Luke. Your enthusiasm and genuine reactions are really refreshing.
Greetings from Germany. 😀
So thrilled to see another believer being born.
The first time I heard this work of art, was through a TH-cam reactor that gave the full background of Eugene Shoemaker. As a space junkie, I hadn't heard the full throated history of Gene, his aspirations and his untimely death and the place of reverence he holds for NASA and space exploration in general.
What NASA did for Shoemaker is beyond gratitude and appreciation. It borders on holiness.
Then the reactor played SHOEMAKER uninterrupted...
I was moved to tears, nearly sobbing by the time the outro began. Then and every time since. When I was finally able to get tickets to Nightwish in Denver Colorado, 15 May 22, I was like a teenager anticipating the arrival of something as epic as when the Beatles landed.
I have seen some grainy, fan recorded footage of NW performing this composition and held my breath waiting, hoping to experience it 'live'. But was also prepared to suffer the rest of my days without hearing their most emotive, complex and challenging masterpiece, IMHO.
The setlist was legendary and included GHOST LOVE SCORE, THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH and SHOEMAKER.
In the middle of a sold out arena, sitting next to my son and 3950 fellow worshippers,
I wept.
I'm 62, a military veteran, a well seasoned world traveler and seen hundreds of concerts that have included acts such as Pink Floyd, Genesis, Rush, Metallica, Sir Elton John... many bands, genres, venues... tears aren't unheard of.
But since discovering Nightwish, it happens much more often. And, as a fellow fanatic, many Dreamers experience a similar phenomena.
And the revelation that is Floor Jansen??
OMG!!
She has numerous nicknames..
THE VALKYRIE GODDESS
THE SWISS ARMY KNIFE OF VOCALS
Many names... but her talent, skills, and range are even more impressive.
I'm sure you've discovered a lot of her recordings and have some favorites, to be sure.
I have a few of my own. And if I may be so bold as to offer a couple you may not have heard yet...
You've just experienced my favorite, of them all, SHOEMAKER.
GHOST LOVE SCORE is a close competitor.
A duet Floor performs with one of her idols, Henk Poort, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.
Another duet she recorded with her friend Tomas Englund of Evergrey, IN ORBIT.
A song she covers and recorded in her studio on her farm, OBLIVION.
And the list is long and glorious...
@@josephbishop3590 Wow, thank you for explaining all that about Shoemaker. I didn't know that. Might check out his story. I'm quite interested in gathering new information on topics I hadn't had much contact with. It's always cool to broaden your horizon. :-) That's why I like Lukes videos. He gives every artist a chance without superstitions blocking his way. Sadly that's rare nowadays.
Back to the topic at hand. It's nice to see you so passionate about a band and even more so when you are a seasoned man allowing his feelings to show. That's something great and should be supported. Noone needs toxic masculinity.
And don't worry. How could recommending songs you like be imposing? I'll check them out sometime. Well I did hear Ghost Love Score. That's not a song, that's a journey. Pretty awesome if you ask me.
What's even more amazing about Nightwish is that is is usually not my genre of music but I do like them. I saw a live footage of her performance at Wacken Open Air. That was extraordinary.
Tuomas Holopainen did this amazing side project about life of Scrooge McDuck. Maybe you could check A Lifetime of Adventure by Tuomas Holopainen.
I just got back from a Nightwish concert and they performed this live. I’ve seen the live videos, but they don’t do it justice. At least until they have a professional filming/mixing crew at a large venue like Wacken or Wembley, the recordings I’ve seen have failed to accurately capture what this felt like live for one reason and one reason alone. Volume. Pure, unadulterated volume. The entire building shook when she hit that last note, and it felt like getting smacked in the chest with a wrecking ball. I’ve never felt anything else quite like it.
beautiful reaction...Nightwish is amazing band...Tuomas is a genious composer ..the metal Mozart..Floor is sublime soprano,this song is master piece of Tuomas, the part of the text of Romeo and Juliet is beautiful, but the part in latin LAUDATO SI AD ASTRA, is for me the most significant, laudato si means praise be to you, and ad astra means to the stars...it is the poem of San Francisco de Asis of assi wrote to nature, is a tribute to all of creation this brings tears to me eyes whenever i listen to it because i understand what Tuomas does what Shomaeker means he the man, the creature that dreams of the immensity of space and the creationof the universe..on fact he is buried on the moon, it is incredi ble what you feel when you understand all the meaning is amazing and very spiritual, to say that the world of Nightwish is magic is no enough for everything that their music give us...lucky that we can stil appreciate thim live.
First time I listened to this and it came to "Laudato Si" I threw my head back, shut my eyes and just said "Jeeeeesus Christ Floor"!!!! 😂😂😂 The most versatile, talented and stunningly beautiful voice I've ever heard
The Shakespeare quote is voiced by Tuomas' wife, Johanna Kurkela.
Laudato Si = If praised or praise be to you.
Ad Astra= to the stars.
From the newest album, Human:II:Nature, The backing orchestral tracks are recorded by the Blue Dot Orchestra. The London Philharmonic had done the previous albums.
They are just recently getting to play this record live. There is no live concert DVD yet. Although, there is a DVD of the virtual show from last year. The only song from this album to have an official music video so far is 'Noise'
I'll recommend Song of Myself next.
You have to go see them when they perform in the UK. They have two gigs, one in London (Nov. 21) and the other in Birmingham (Nov. 22). They will be performing this song on this tour! We can’t know if this will be on the set list for the next tour, because then the songs from the next album will be the biggest part of the gig. Some of the songs on the current tour will be dropped.
Nightwish will make their next album in 2023.
I can say that Floor sounds just as good at a gig as on an album. I was at their gig on April 22nd. and they performed this song. Floor's singing sounded ... divine.
I've been watching your reaction videos for sometime, and your Nightwish journey is like mine.
About three years ago, despite being a metalhead for 35 years, they just went unnoticed. Then a work colleague told me about them and put me on to 'Ghost Love Score' from Wacken. I've been hooked every since.
Every reaction I see what I felt in you. Yes, she make me cry a great deal.
Where to go next?
I see you have barely touched the vocals of Marko. I would suggest next 'While your lips are still red' (Wembley version). Marko demonstrates an extraordinary subtly and emotion that will leave you an emotional, quivering wreck.
BTW, Nightwish play Wembley again - 21st Nov. Tickets still available. Be there! It will be my first, and I think I'll crying many times over.
PS All the best to your partner and baby :)
Check out Nightwish - Song of Myself live Wacken
Tuomas at first was in doubt this song could be done live, but Floor convinced him that she could do it. And of course she nailed it in the live versions out there.
I saw Nightwish perform this live at the Filmore in Silver Spring, Maryland a couple of weeks ago and Floor was just as amazing performing it live. It truly is a breathtaking experience to see her sing it in person. She was backlit by a spotlight, and she was like an angel visiting all of us mere mortals. I know there is a video of that performance out there.
I seen them play this live in Hollywood on the 20th. Listening over TH-cam does not do justice to how extremely powerful this song is live. The bass was vibrating the whole floor.
The look on your face throughout this reaction is absolutely priceless. I am pretty positive that that was the look on all of our faces as well. I cry every time she hits that end note... So much passion and power... Have a very groovy day Dear. Looking forward to your next reaction...
This is a song from their latest album Human Nature. At first Floor wasn’t satisfied with the result so she took it home and kept trying till she got this version.
There are no good live versions of this song yet, all the stuff you mentioned are terrible phone recordings and as far I know there is no official live recording yet.
If you want a music video, I suggest you react to Noise, from the same album. I’m quite sure you’re going to like that one.
Well said, we can do without more fancam reactions.
Yup, the microphones on fan cams can’t handle the sheer volume of sound that is produced. I just got back from the Los Angeles show, and when she hit that last phrase it shook the building and it felt like I was being hit in the chest by a wrecking ball.
Everybody crys,glad you did the the lyric video first.
Love your reaction vids because it reminds me exactly of how I feel when I listen/watch them 😁 and since you mentioned you wanted to watch Shoemaker live you definitely need to watch it live at Hellfest 2022! Their best live performance of it IMO! 👏 (even though I was blessed to see it live in Minneapolis in May 😎) peace ✌️ 'n love ❤️
Fuckin' LOVE it...!!
Dude.... Your positive energy is fuckin' infectious...!!
🤘😘🤘...
I Genuinely love re-watching the classics through your first time eyes and ears...! It takes me back...
I don't need / or even want to recommend you your next Nightwish song...
Because you are already well on your way bro, Enjoy your journey...
Peace out for now..🤘x
Ah appreciate you my friend! So kind!! Much love 🤘🤘🤘
Nightwish- Noise
Diverse from Romeo and Juliet is spoken by Toumss' wife
Fabulous reaction. But, just my opinion. Take a breath, slow down and if you are going to do any more from the Human.:II: Nature album, then do the official videos in running ORDER. As for live versions of this by Floor or any other song, please never doubt how incredible it will be.
Thank you so much for reacting to this song! Please react to my other 2 fav songs in this Album: Music and Pan. Music always makes me cry, it is from the point o music itself. On the other hand, Pan is just exceptional, in every way possible.
I think it’s time for Romanticide from Wacken next.
Nightwish makes reactors drop their jaws..😉
Oh Floor..Made me tear up again...
don't skip on a video just because of low view numbers. The virtual performances are just as equally impressive as anything like Wacken or Wembley
I simply love your reactions. I guess I look exactly just like it when I watch Nightwish
A bit late but I just found your channel and am glad to see someone else falling in love with Nightwish. My 50+ christian mother actually got me into Nightwish and she loves it because it's a band she can actually sing along with. On a good day she can match Floor note for note, though she lacks some of the power.
Anyways as a reccomendation I have a few, mostly the ones we sing together in the car on long drives: Ghost river is a bit darker and have some more heavy metal influence. Ever dream starts off softer and has a more romantic side. I wish I had an angel, is basically everything your parent's warned you about whren it comes to metal. And finally Dark chest of wonders is refrenced in Storytime my absolute favorite and it's a song that stand on it's end more than well enough, hence why it was the opener for this show.
PS. Not sure if you know this yet but Floor was actually brought in as a last minute replacement and this is the first show she's ever done with the band I believe. It's also their best, unfortunatly Tuomas (songwriter and keyboardist) has left the band much to many of our dismay.
It’s just beautiful beyond words the whole thing.
Yes, last ride of the day (Master of Rock Festival) should be your next.
Newrequest.
Nightwish - Sahara, Live at Tampa. Go go go go go
You should definitely listen to Nightwish's Tribute to Pink Floyd with High Hopes. Marko shows his whole class as a singer in this song.
"I'm literally crying...."
Same here, every time. :)
This album was made when Covid hit us, so they made these lyric videos for us fans ❤ One music video made from this album is "Noise" 🔥
The Reason there isn't a BIG live version yet is that its a new song ( due to covid they hadn't had a full Tour since the song came out ) yes they are on tour now.
And still dozens of great songs to discover of this exquisite band... Enjoy!
Hello G.O.T..games, overwhelming isn't it, everybody in the Nightwish Army has been there, it is so beautiful, really this band is amazing indeed, see you at the next one, greetings from the Netherlands, bye
Check their tour dates. If you can, go see them live. It's so worth it!
Incredible!!!!!🤟
Awesome reaction °did your eyes shine again?🤣🤟
There is a story behind this song but I have covid and don't the energy to fill you in. Hopefully another Nightwish army member can fill you in. Btw. Please react to Last ride of the day from Wacken 2013! Thank You for the great reaction. Going back to sleep now.
It swept through my whole family in January. None of us felt horrible but it zapped every ounce of energy from each one of us both hubby and I and our 2 kiddos. Hope you feel better soon! Love, light, and prayers from me & my family to you & yours!
I get to see this performed live tonight!!! Yay!!
Stunning ! Some of the visuals also reminded me of the MV for Jinjer "I Speak Astronomy".
Nightwish are touring right now. Shoemaker is one of the songs off the newest album and they don't have an official live video yet for any of the new tour. Otherwise hell yeah the live version is incredible too and would be worth doing a video for. But for now, can't trust the rando phone video sound quality and it is better to wait until an official live...or until go to a show yourself. One other comment I have is more of a general suggestion for anyone somewhat new to this band: listen to Nightwish studio versions with good headphones, relax in the dark or with mood lighting and it is a glorious experience. They are best live simply because they are one of the best bands in the world but their albums are a different experience as well and should not be missed.
😮❤️
Amazing to hear live will leave you speechless.
laudatory is got me every time ...
i saw them may 10th here in the states and i teared up goosebumps, floorgasms got it all... she is the best female vocalist on the planet maybe in my life tim im 52.thx for the react...ROCK ON!
Now that you reacted to the official video, you can watch it live and be Floored all over again with that magnificent ending
That last scene shows what his urn faces every day
Nightwish - The Greatest Show on Earth, live at Tampere please :D I enjoy your reactions immensely
You have made the best comment I heard about Nightwish; “their songs are like stories “ that’s exactly it!
The live version worth checking of Shoemaker is the one that you see yourself in person at a concert. :) I experienced this track played live 2 weeks ago in NYC at their concert there, and it's even better than the video. I'll be at the concert they have at Wembley in November too. See you there. Be there, or be square. :)
Theres a whole bunch of live versions of SHOEMAKER all over YT .....which are actually better than the studio and you get to watch Floor perform it , which is a huge added Bonus .
Exactly, I just told this guy that I was at the New York show and I know you were also and it was just epic
@@scottb.4472 when it comes to Nightwish, always do the live versions .
@@silverblack5475 I agree 100%. When I can I always try to tell people to do the live versions first and then if there is a music video or a lyric video to check it out second
@@scottb.4472 absolutely 💯
@@silverblack5475 btw.....if you are a Raiders fan, PHIL VILLAPIANO WENT TO MY HIGH SCHOOL
The end of this song is amongst the most beautiful and epic bits of music I have ever heard.
Really really is!
no no no Last ride of the day has to be the closer of Wacken 2013 version PLEASE !!!!!
always do the Wacken version because it's the best concert
plus I will only watch that song done at Wacken I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels the same
To add to what others have said; this song is written in the same kind of stanza (sp?) as Shakespearean players were - which explains the somewhat odd (and super hard) way Floor sings the lyrics.
Just a fun tidbit :)
You Should Check out Islander live at Tampere by Nightwish. It is a different feel than normal but so good.
Yes, THE END is epic.....nice reaction.....
Top 5 on my NW list🇸🇪
When I'm all grown up, I want to be that soprano voice from the Laudato part... There is literally nothing more perfect on this planet than that. Did I listen to Shoemaker like 500 times by now? Yes. Did I cry again this time? Absolutely!
As far as I know there is no approved live version of this song (yet). The same goes for all other songs from their 2020 album Human:||:Nature with the exception of a live acoustic version (being Troy and Floor) of the song 'How's the Heart' for Planet Rock. The reason is rather dramatic but obvious: due to Covid-19 they had to postpone the Human:||:Nature Tour for 2 years. That Tour started some 3 weeks ago and the North America 'leg' will be finalized tonight in LA. Normally they pick out a few venues from each Tour to record their official live material but that will take some time to happen. If anyone knows which venues they'll pick this time, please feel free to add in a response.
Great reaction as usual, how about a reaction to Grailknights “pumping iron Power” Featuring Joakim from Sabaton guest vocals. Where you at BATTLE CHOIR
I could barely follow it, but still ended up in tears .
I just got to see this performed live. It was the single greatest live concert moment I have ever experienced.
Awesome reaction yet again! Two additional Nightwish songs that should definitely be on your radar are "7 Days to the Wolves" Live at Wembley and "High Hopes" from End of an Era. "7 Days to the Wolves" is an incredible and intense journey featuring some amazing vocals from Floor and Marko. Then "High Hopes" is one of the best covers you will hear. This one really shows Marko and Emppu at their best.
The musicianship, Floor’s voice, Troy’s voice, the lyric for the first part of the song are excellent in their own right. BUT it’s all an intro for LAUDATO. Your dropped jaw, followed by beaming smile, followed by almost a tear says it all. OMG, that was something, that was amazing. Yes you summed it up exactly. Apparently Floor does not really like operatic, but, when she does it she takes the universe with her. And, yes, Tuomas gave Floor a song ‘impossible’ to do live. Floor was not happy with the studio work, perfected it in her home studio, and then goes and does it live.
It is so powerful and emotional. I have seen it dozens of time and still tear up at the beauty when Floor starts her operatic part.
Do look into Eugene Shoemakers story. This is in his honor. :)
Tuomas is really genious🎶❤ This song, not the easiest to sing. Floor does it, flawless 😍
Maybe you could react to Marco's voice next time with "The Islander" (Tampere) and/or "while your lips are still red" (Wembley) 🙂
Great reaction as always man! im sure you sooner than later will get to that reachpoint you´ve set of 100k and then more, you show your emotions the ways everyone else feel them when we hear the greatest band ever (not one of the best, lol) and that´s why we came here everytime you post something new of them, keep rocking and stay safe!
2020 and most of 2021 completely sucked, except for watching people fall in love with this amazing band and of course, Floor. A talent like hers come around once maybe twice in a century. What a time to be alive.
The song fits the story so well. Shivers, every time!
I see them live tonight I'm so excited
I really liked your verbal and emotional reactions, and I can see that you have an ear for beautiful music. What I don't understand about you Americans are your associations. Your comparisons to movie music, which I keep hearing in Nightwish responses. Europe has an infinitely long musical tradition and this is also used again and again in modern pieces. We Europeans find comparisons mainly to pieces of music by Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Ravel or the many other composers and less often to films. This is because film scores are usually also based on classical European music! It would certainly be an interesting listening experience for you, there is enough classical European music on the net. Thank you very much for your nice reply.
Had to pause video when you were at the Laudato Si part. Looked like you were about to burst to tier's. Well i did when I 1st heard that part.
Do "Noise" next. It's from the same album and actually has music video. BTW they have lyric vids done themselves so that the pictures with the words are what they want.
And the suggestion: Islander live from Tampere. ;)
What an honest, authentic reaction. 💜
It’s awesome isn’t it! ✨ 💫
I was like "don´t pause it, don´t pause it... nooooooo!!"
Tuomas is very inspired by movie soundtracks, that's why most of his songs sound like that. :)
More nightwish plzzzzzz !!!! Floor is the best ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's really wonderful to see how much you appreciate this beautiful tribute to Eugene Shoemaker! The good news is there are still plenty of high points on your Nightwish journey!
