The Virus has sent many of us with depression climbing the walls. He needs some down time to re-group and get some balance. We just need to leave Marco alone and support his decision to take some time to not deal with the Music Industry.
@@leemichaels406 he only said he will be missed, and as long as he is out of nightwish he will be at least to the wast majority of the fans. No one said he should defy his health.
2024 and still i come here to listen to this masterpiece. Absolutly Amazing singing by Marko and Floor. I definitely miss Marko in NW tha guys voice was an absolute blast on NW.
the entrance was paid to see them all, it does not seem fair that he does not fulfill his commitment, after fulfilling his commitments with the fans .. that he does what he wants.
@@rebelwithacausecauseeffect6076 - I think the virtual concert was one thing he had promised to do, at the original date in March. When it was postponed it became a new appointment and something that is outside of his earlier promises.
@@ella_emayjee9403 I do have tickets for this summer and it would have been my first Nightwish concert with Floor Jansen. Yep, took me some time to buy it. At least i saw him with Anette but as far as I remember they didn’t play The Islander song on Wacken. Anyway, feel you.
I can actually, I'd love to see Alan Doyle (of Great Big Sea) do a cover. I'd be hard pressed to think of another rock/metal vocalist who would do it justice, but the right celtic folk singer, especially a Newfoundlander, could do it justice.
There is one person that comes to mind...Jarkko Ahola. He is very skilled and has a similar tone to his voice. He'll never be able to REPLACE Marko (nobody can), but I think he could do a good job. Cheers!
The Islander is one of my all time favourite songs. It's so beautiful and powerful. I'll miss Marko. He has such a great voice and brought so much good to the band. He's the man that inspired me to get into the Bass in the first place. I wish him all the best in his reinventing. I hope he comes out the other side stronger than ever. Whatever form that takes, whether he's back with Nightwish, Tarot, or not even making music at all. Love you Marko, Keep your head up.
Somewhere there, in a parallel branch of this universe, a Nightwish concert just started right this moment and Marko is walking towards the microphone, getting ready to join Floor and bringing an entire stadium to eargasm. And Tuomas and the othes smile, as a storm of music is about to unleash :D
I only found Nighwish during the pandemic. This was immediately one of my favorite tracks. I hope he finds peace and that the rest of the band are able to help him and each other through the dark times. Peace to all of them.
@@shortstuff780 Same, it intanstly became my favourite band, and Marco was a huge part of it, to the point I got the ticket to their concert the moment they set a date, I hope the world let us see him and he gets a farewell tour
@@Pomaufour No, the fans all say he needs a t-shirt that says "Floor Jansen is my backing vocalist." A rough translation of the Finnish bit is: "So if I sing the chorus, will you sing with me?" Yeah! "You'll sing?" YEAH! "Okay, let's do it!"
His voice is a mix of cool silk, rich home made butterscotch and freezing aquavit. Wrapped up in ancient velvet and applied to my soul. Which he always manages to croon out of my body. I'm not complaining.
Wow...... it's really true. You don't appreciate someone fully untill they're gone. Nobody will sing this as he did. Hope he's in a better place now, enjoying life
As much as I will miss him in NW, as much I wish him all the best in the world! I think it is so good he concentrate on his health first! If there is life; -There's hope!! All the best to Marko!!
Truly magical how they merge together, their voices, their instruments, their energy and their spirit. Thank you guys. Your magic is amazing and still strong today ❤❤❤
@@kalas5264 I don't know, man. Do you remember the reaction online? Everyone was rushing to hate on it because of Tarja's absence. I'm personally more of an Imaginaerum fan, but still. DPP was an incredible and unrightfully criticised album.
I got tickets for the show on December 2020, but covid happened. It was gonna be my first Nightwish show after more than a decade listening to their music. And now Marko is gone....my heart is broken.
Marko was my inspiration and what pulled me to learn playing the Bass, and this song, specially, showed me that even with a "gritty" voice, you can sing so beatifully like this. Knowing he might not come back does hit me hard, since I started following Nightwish for him. Thanks Marko, you will be dearly missed, and we all hope to see you back
I heard of nightwish much to late. At the moment Marko left the band. This song is so incredible. I can not explained it in words. I hope I can go to Finland once and see him preform. I hope to see more of this great man with a great voice
One of the most fantastic and haunting ballads ever. Those Celtic vibes are pure magic. The only thing missing here is the hilarious "weasels" intro and the translation of the "Will you sing?" section. Everyone always asks what Marko says there.
In 2012 I had tickets to see Nightwish with Anette Olzon and it ended up being Floor instead. I'll miss Marko but I'm confident the band will be cable to surprise us with somebody else with great talent. I also had tickets for 2020 sin Buenos Aires suspended by the pandemic. Hoping todo be greatly surprised soon.
I mam just crying. Wish You all the best Marco, thank You for making music such meaningfull to my live. Just thank You all Nightwish. You are one of the most important bands in my live. Much many love for You!
Such an outstanding performance by an outstanding person. I tried not to cry, but I did. To our incredible Marko, we are all sailing right behind you, holding our arms out to support you with love. You are amazing. Truly.
Dearest Marko! I wish him nothing but the very best in this world! His stage charisma and heavently beautiful voice will be dearly missed in Nightwish's world! 💕💞
As a Newfoundlander, an islander, I love this! I am sorry you cut out the chat at the start. Its always a laugh to listen to Marko call the rest of the band "weasels"...
Marko, if you ever see this: Know that my heart cries for the missed chance at finally seeing you. The last tour you were here, my son was born. I've been aching to be in the rarified air of The Islander with you. I hope nothing but the best for your future, and was so happy to see recognition with your talent in Masked Singer as well, because you have a beautiful mind, powerful presence, and legendary talent. Take care~
I honestly felt tears welling in my eyes when I heard Marco left. I wish him well as his music was enchanting, and his presence was just awe-inspiring. Seriously, if you saw the guy smile it was just uplifting to see.
We love you Marko, and wish nothing but your health and happiness. Thank you for all the music and memories you have brought us over these long years.❤️❤️❤️❤️
The thing i think I'll lament the most is how well Marko and Floor harmonize with each other. They feed off each other. I love Tarja's voice, but Floor and Marko will be my favorite harmonization-wise.
So many things I love about this. Marko absolutely nailing it. Beautiful harmonies. Troy at the back only adding elements and not trying to sing songs that he can't.
A man playing his guitar and singing solo for thousands of fans, just standing there enjoying the moment.... than the others come softly blending in, perfectly harmonizing, all loving what they are doing together....I will miss Marko so much and hope he will return somewhere in the future so I can see him perform live for the first time in my life. Take your time and be well, Marko. Greetings from the Netherlands.

You are great

Marko the metal Gandalf will be missed but the memories stay.
Where is he. Did he leave the band?
@@doyehager1399 he did
@@doyehager1399 Because of health reasons and he needed to do some self discovery.
Perfect definition of him
And just like Gandalf, he may yet be back, stronger than before :)

I consider this one of the greatest moments in rock history.
Know one can argue with you Chris
Except it's folk. LOL
You dont listen to alot then
He was a huge asset to the band. He will be missed! 🤘
For a while..... but I got a feeling that he will be back.
Come on,, he’s not even retired, sick or dead, there’ are some possibilities he might come back

Oh fuck, this one hit home. Marko, the Nightwish Army will wait for you and we will welcome you back whenever you're ready.
And if you're never ready to come back, we'll still love you, so do what feels good and right for you.

Can't imagine anyone else singing this.

@Camille Lo That's fair and a good point. As much as I love Troy his voice is different from Marko's. Only time will tell.

Marko and Floor sing so wonderfully together. I hope they will still sing together on occasion.

"Floor Jansen is my backing vocalist"

That incredible ease with which he sings the chorus an octave higher is a singing masterclass all by itself.

Beautiful soul Marko❤️.. wish you all the happiness.. still can't believe I won't be witnessing you sing Endlessness live.

The Islander is one of my favourite songs from Nightwish, especially because of Marco's voice. I hope he will return to the band later.
Our albatross is literally flying 🥺 love you Marco! ❤️
we need this version on spotify, it is SO EPIC !! i need to add it to my playlist to listen to it on loop ^^
Agree!!!
