How many singers do you know that can growl like a demon one minute then sing full on opera the next? Floor is just an amazing singer. The lead guitar was actually played by Troy on this number. He was using a device called an ebow that electronically vibrates the stings to give constant sustain. I love the energy that you bring to your reactions. More Nightwish please. Perhaps Storytime live at Waken 2013?
Explanation: Eugene Shoemaker was a geologist and founder of modern planetary science. He studied craters on Earth and on the moon and realized that they were created by asteroid impacts. Shoemaker was the lead geology researcher for Apollo missions, and he also helped train the Apollo astronauts who went to the moon. He himself was a candidate for an Apollo Moon flight, but was disqualified after being diagnosed with Addison's disease. Later in life, he said, "Not going to the moon and hitting it with my own hammer has been the biggest disappointment in life." Schoenmaker spent much of his later years searching for undiscovered impact craters around the world. He died on July 18, 1997 in a car accident in Australia, where he studied craters. In recognition of his scientific achievements, part of his ash was brought to the moon by the Lunar Prospector spacecraft in 1999. His final resting place is close to the moon's south pole, in the Shoemaker crater named after him. The shoemaker's urn was engraved with a quote from Romeo and Juliet: "And when he will die... Unpack it and cut it out into small asterisks And he will make the face of heaven so beautiful That the whole world will be in love with the night And don't show worship to the bright sun." He is the only man buried on a celestial body other than earth. After his death, he was finally able to go where he always wanted to be. Greetings from the Netherlands.
I suggest you watch the official video of this song, a lyric one, and it has beautiful graphics. The spoken part is by Johanna Kurkula, Tuomas's wife, and is from Romeo and Juliet. During the rehearsels they were not satisfied with the ending of the song so Floor took it home and made the operatic part. Laudato si ad Astra= praise be to the stars
i think you´ll love the life version on Hellfest Festival too and the official clip from Nightwish. Also the story behind it ..knowing that and then watch again . Nice reaction thanks
Ad Astra. Oh, the famous Nightwish sing-along. Don't worry about not understanding the lyrics, nobody does. Floor is too busy doing these weird vocal acrobatics and staying on pitch to care about her diction. She messed up the lyrics good and proper a few times during other concerts this year and it was absolutely adorable. 🥰 This part of the song is more impressive technically than it is musically and emotionally. The ending is killer though. The only thing revealing that Floor is not an opera singer is her pronunciation of D and T in "Laudato". Unnoticeable for most ears and doesn't matter anyways. WHAT did you say about her outfit? Did you catch yourself looking where you shouldn't?👀☝ Avē Flōra, grātiā plēna.
🤩👌💥💯 Yet another monumental track by them to react to. Nicely done män. Keep on rockin with this magical band. Emppu Vuorinen, the guitarist, has mastered Judo to have black belt but has he mastered his guitar since it's purple??? 🤔✌️😁 🤘😎🇫🇮💙
Tuomas, the keyboardist and composer of 95 percent of Nightwish's songs, wrote this song as a tribute to Eugene Shoemaker, a planetary geologist, whose ashes Nasa sent to the moon and who is still the only human with ashes on any other moon or planet. New Nightwish Army subscriber here. I loved your reaction to this beautiful performance. I hope to see you back for more Nightwish live reactions. I have a suggestion from Nightwish' Show in Zurich a couple of days ago. Although it is only a fan video, it is well done and has great sound and video. This song is one that Nightwish had never performed live until they added it to the setlist last week. It is a beautiful, acoustic performance. th-cam.com/video/i2pPyhNMtdE/w-d-xo.html Nightwish Our Decades in the Sun Lyrics I climbed off your back Not so long ago To a blooming meadow To a path you'd made for the lightest feet Mother I am always close to you I will be waving Every time you leave Oh, I am you The care, the love, the memories We are the story of one Father I am always close to you I will be waving Every time you leave Oh, I am you The care, the love, the memories You are forever in me This verse we wrote On a road home For you All this for you Our walk has been sublime A soaring ride and gentle lead You have the heart of a true friend One day we'll meet on that shore again Mother I am always close to you I will be waving Every time you leave Oh, I am you The care, the love, the memories We are the story of one Father I am always close to you I will be waving Every time you leave Oh, I am you The care, the love, the memories You are forever in me
Annoying whistle and the audio was out of synch... As a space fan you will know all about Eugene Shoemaker who is the subject of this song. The band is: Tuomas Holopainen, (Finnish), founder, keyboardist and writer of over 95% of the music and lyrics. Erno "Emppu" Matti Juhani Vuorinen, (Finnish), lead guitar including the purple ESP EV-1 you see here.. Jukka Koskinen, (Finnish), bass who replaced the remarkable Marco Hietala who left in JJ an '21. Troy Donockley, (English), male vocals, acoustic guitar, bazouki, Uilleann pipes, tin whistles, Irish low whistle and anything else that can't run away from him fast enough. Kaitsu "Kai" Hahto, (Finnish), "the human metronome", on drums and percussion, replaced Jukka Nevolainen after he left in 2014. Floor Jansen, (Dutch), the incomparable lead vocalist (and solo artist) who can sing ethereal high vocals, growl, do rock, metal and pop and anything else that Tuomas may ask. You will see a lot of Marco in earlier videos as he is also one of the best male vocalists in metal and has many co-lead parts in Nightwish, as well as ones where he is the solo lead singer.

Nightwish Our Decades in the Sun Lyrics
I climbed off your back
Not so long ago
To a blooming meadow
To a path you'd made for the lightest feet
Mother
I am always close to you
I will be waving
Every time you leave
Oh, I am you
The care, the love, the memories
We are the story of one
Father
I am always close to you
I will be waving
Every time you leave
Oh, I am you
The care, the love, the memories
You are forever in me
This verse we wrote
On a road home
For you
All this for you
Our walk has been sublime
A soaring ride and gentle lead
You have the heart of a true friend
One day we'll meet on that shore again
Mother
I am always close to you
I will be waving
Every time you leave
Oh, I am you
The care, the love, the memories
We are the story of one
Father
I am always close to you
I will be waving
Every time you leave
Oh, I am you
The care, the love, the memories
You are forever in me
Thanks 🤘😁🤘
(Btw... I'm a sister 😁)
Good one
🤗🍒🤘🏻
This is Germany
Annoying whistle and the audio was out of synch...
As a space fan you will know all about Eugene Shoemaker who is the subject of this song.
The band is:
Tuomas Holopainen, (Finnish), founder, keyboardist and writer of over 95% of the music and lyrics.
Erno "Emppu" Matti Juhani Vuorinen, (Finnish), lead guitar including the purple ESP EV-1 you see here..
Jukka Koskinen, (Finnish), bass who replaced the remarkable Marco Hietala who left in JJ an '21.
Troy Donockley, (English), male vocals, acoustic guitar, bazouki, Uilleann pipes, tin whistles, Irish low whistle and anything else that can't run away from him fast enough.
Kaitsu "Kai" Hahto, (Finnish), "the human metronome", on drums and percussion, replaced Jukka Nevolainen after he left in 2014.
Floor Jansen, (Dutch), the incomparable lead vocalist (and solo artist) who can sing ethereal high vocals, growl, do rock, metal and pop and anything else that Tuomas may ask.
You will see a lot of Marco in earlier videos as he is also one of the best male vocalists in metal and has many co-lead parts in Nightwish, as well as ones where he is the solo lead singer.
Video is not the same when it is out of sync....
your Sync is off, great song thue Tuomas said "'I think that this song can not be sung Live'' O was he wrong......
Too bad the video is out of synch
