I remember when Marko joined Nightwish Tuomas said in an interview that he now has the two best vocalists in Finland in his band. And I am not sure he was exaggerating *that* much.
My best friend ever since high school went with me to see Nightwish in 2016. This was a favorite before that and meant more after. She passed away three years ago, but this song brings back glad and comforting memories ❤️
Jeff...words hardly capture the bittersweet symphony I hear in your retelling of your friendship, loss and cherished memories. This is a beautiful song, made exquisite by your shared experience. I've been a 'new' Nightwish fan since 2020 and resisted listening to this, because I'd rather Rock My Ass Off than feel the pain of loss, as the title suggests. I finally gave in. It is beautiful. And painful. Peace be with you.
Thanks guys and who wouldn't want Floor as your backing singer. His performance of Endlessness on the Human II Nature album is superb and The Islander live at Tampere. And at the other end of his Nightwish spectrum is Master Passion Greed. And of course the tribute performance of the Pink Floyd song High Hopes in 2005. However so pleased that the recent Hellfest concert was so good even without him.
Such a great song! Something i find interesting is how it continually builds in intensity, then feels like it ends too soon every time (for me at least). Very fitting!
Probably the last song that Marco performed with NW, not live though but... and well, I don't know which order those were recorded of course, but anyway.
One of my twenty most favorite songs. Haha. Besides Marko's awesome vocals and Troy's awesome eBow, this performance really shows how humble Floor is. As the lead singer, she's the face of Nightwish. And where is she for the first half of the song? Sitting on the drum platform, giving Marko center stage. I love this band!
This isn't really a Nightwish song. Tuomas and Marko wrote it for a Finnish movie called "Lieksa" ( The Matriark ). But it did become part of their repertoire anyway. Guess it's off the set list since Marko left. And it's a song where Emppu gets to rest. 😁
Just a beautiful song! Marco is just brilliant with the lead vocals, and he puts so much emotion into the song. Brings tears into my eyes thinking about a new love that is far away right now..
I agree, The Islander and High Hopes are excellent Marco songs. And while not the lead he is wonderful in Everdream from Wacken 2013 and Phantom of the Opera
Lovely reaction guys! A gorgeous ode to innocent love. Marko's voice is so emotional and vulnerable which perfectly fits the lyrics. Makes me tear up everytime.
Nightwish has been a blessing to me from the beginning. I came aboard after Floor joined, but I have heard Tarja and Annette both sing and they were excellent. But in this song, and Islander, MARKO truly shines. He will be missed!
The song is so good, Marko is just awesome The Ebow guitar was magnificent, just as good as the violin in the original video I really enjoyed your reaction
Not even a metal song, this was composed for a movie and performed just by Marko, Jukka and Tuomas, but I'm glad they have this live version with the full band (minus Emppu lol) in Wembley It's really a gorgeous song
Such a beautyfull song . When you watch the video of the whole Wembleyconcert after this songs ends Floor points at Marco and shouts out his name , Marco gently thanks Floor , real sweet to see ❤
This song was written for Marko on the lead, and Anette did the harmony. Though Floor has taken over from Anette it means not that this song is now for her to do the lead. Still she is able to add some subtile Floor-ish elements, such as a crescendo, which is her speciality. Floor and Marko could sing together and create magic.
I think it's testament to Marko's ability that he has blended well with all singers in Nightwish. He can adjust his voice to match whoever he sings with.
this songs remind me that kevin costner robin hood movie and there that song what was everything i do i do it for you, bryan adams song. same mood. what a beautiful songs both :) thanx to great reaction and have wonderful weekend. marko music head of finish heavy in world.
Fun fact: Marco showed up at a metal festival in Finland last month as part of Northern Kings. Northern Kings - We Don't Need Another Hero, Tuhdimmat Tahdit, Nokia.
The Northern Kings were announced on stage with the style "Northern Kings are back". Then the first song was an instrumental and at the end Marko came on stage alone and it was his solo song. Shivers went down my spine! At the end of the song, the others also came on stage. After the song ended, Jarkko shouted into the microphone that "Marko is back". It was a great moment when others gave him space like that. Each singer in the band had one solo song. I liked Jarkko's "Hello" song. J-P's solo song (Billy Idol cover) was also nice. And at the end when they performed Tina Turner's "We Don't Need Anothe Hero", it was really great. The audience really liked it, probably most of them sang along. Each singer had his own solo performance, but Marko had the first and the last of the concert!!! It was also great that he got to do a solo song twice! I respect that decision from the other members of the band!
Hi again guys. Love this little song by Marko. Very emotional reaction to a song that always brings me shivers. By the way, we finally have a challenger to the Wacken 2013 show for the best Nightwish concert ever. On last Saturday I had the wonderful opportunity to watch the live stream of Nightwish's hour-and-a-half performance before a crowd of 60,000+ at Hellfest 2022. I pity the band that had to follow them on stage. With Nightwish's permission, ARTE (French and German Television) posted the full concert video. Nightwish and Floor also commented on the video. I would love to see you react to this show. th-cam.com/video/pYIX1Jyb64E/w-d-xo.html Here's the setlist: 0:07 Music (intro) 1:00 Noise 6:30 Planet Hell 11:00 Tribal 15:10 Élan 19:40 Storytime 25:20 How's the Heart?

I know the difference between kissing the person I love when their lips were red and hot and.........then blue and cold. This song always reminds me of the best moments I had with my wife but also the worst moment of my life. I will always love you SONIA. 🧡🤎🖤🧡🤎🖤🧡🤎🖤🧡🤎🖤🧡🤎🖤🧡🤎🖤
All was said here about Marco's performance, and about Troy's playing that e-bow. So now focus on Floor's backing vocal. I mean it has such amount of touch you can't find anywhere else. And it is live! I mean there are vocalists that have 99,9% of the what i call "touch" but this is freakin 100%. I can't believe my ears. And combining it with other band members having also 100% touch (I mean, f.e. Kai delivers that vibe man...)...the whole outcome can't be other that perfect. :)
saludos from.Chile....u should listen to: high hopes (PF cover 1 fav song of PF) marko at his best. death boys poem Buenos Aires....prepared for 1 of personal thuomas song...saludos
You might just ENJOY TAROT!! This is the band Marco and his older brother,,,,,ahm whycantieverrememberhisname 😭😭 Anyways! They formed Tarot in the early eighties and they are quite a study worth 🤗🤗 Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰🇩🇰
@@karljensen6768 I first met the guys back in '86, when they loaned their amps to this unknown band called Metallica :) I was working for the concert organization then
@@hannuhanttamakela2673 you actually worked for them!? COOL 😀😀 In 1986 I was 19 years old and had no idea of what metal music was able to do 🤗 I have grown wiser ever since, but when you live in Denmark, you will never hear any metal, unless it is metallica's Nothing else matters 😳😳 Honestly that is boring, when you know all of those fantastic bands making even more fantastic tunes and lyrics today 🥰🥰
There is one thing I don't like in this song. It's way too SHORT!!! And about Marco... as you may know, he was in masked singer Finland (and won of course), every song he sang was in different voise. Nobody didn't recocnise him :-D
I was doing fine until Floor joined in, then I had to reach for the tissues. Question: Was Troy's reverb added as an effect or is that the sound created by the e-bow?
This is just one more example of why Marko is considered a living legend in the music world.
Don't make me cry xD
I remember when Marko joined Nightwish Tuomas said in an interview that he now has the two best vocalists in Finland in his band.
And I am not sure he was exaggerating *that* much.
@@JariJuslin Not at all. If someone doubts this he/she should listen to High Hopes and Master Passion Greed.

@@josephbishop3590 Thank you ❤️
Bless you Jeff
I always said it: the biggest loss of Nightwish wasn't Anette or Tarja, it was Marco
Absolutely. The first time i watched NightWish video, Marko caught my eyes. In a good way that is.. 🤣
@@nnotwo I am so excited to see them this month, but I know that Marko will be a sorely missed cornerstone of what I am going to see :(
Thanks guys and who wouldn't want Floor as your backing singer. His performance of Endlessness on the Human II Nature album is superb and The Islander live at Tampere.

However so pleased that the recent Hellfest concert was so good even without him.
When you get to have Floor as a backup singer is the definition of being the real deal. Damn how I miss Marko in Nightwish.
Symphony of destruction was another Marko classic.
Such a great song! Something i find interesting is how it continually builds in intensity, then feels like it ends too soon every time (for me at least). Very fitting!
If you want more of Marko singing, you need to listen "Endlessness" from their last album "Human Nature"! AMAZING SONG
Probably the last song that Marco performed with NW, not live though but... and well, I don't know which order those were recorded of course, but anyway.
@@Garbox80 Let's hope that at some point he can come back
Originally this was made for a movie " Lieksa" .
Short, sweet, and simple. A rare specimen in the Nightwish catalog, but live oh so powerful.
I walked down the altar to this song ❤
Really? Did you ever listen to the lyrics? LOL.
Marko at his best! So nice to hear Floor providing a very sympathetic backing for him - absolutely divine!
So beautiful song. I love it so much 💜 and Marko 👌💜
I love the way Troy plays the guitar. He appears to use a similar technique to when he's playing the pipes, wringing emotion out of the instrument.
It's nothing short of magical!
One of my twenty most favorite songs. Haha. Besides Marko's awesome vocals and Troy's awesome eBow, this performance really shows how humble Floor is. As the lead singer, she's the face of Nightwish. And where is she for the first half of the song? Sitting on the drum platform, giving Marko center stage. I love this band!
I keep crying a little with this song.. Uuuff... So so emotional..
Yes, one of the most beautiful ballads I know, and then even better live than on CD. This is Nightwish!
This isn't really a Nightwish song. Tuomas and Marko wrote it for a Finnish movie called "Lieksa" ( The Matriark ). But it did become part of their repertoire anyway. Guess it's off the set list since Marko left. And it's a song where Emppu gets to rest. 😁
Yes, not in any albums but included in Amaranth single/Ep.
If they wrote it, it’s still a Nightwish song.
@@Apoca88 No, cause it wasn't ment to be performed by nightwish.
I don't know how to say this aloud? You guys are the Real Thing
Yep, crying as usual. Thank you those 4 months. I still miss you !! 🌹
Just a gorgeous song in every way
Boss-level: Floor Jansen as background singer.
Hunbug.
Die beiden, Floor und Marko, haben sich wunderbar ergänzt.
Thanks for keeping reacting to Nightwish ❤️
Just a beautiful song! Marco is just brilliant with the lead vocals, and he puts so much emotion into the song. Brings tears into my eyes thinking about a new love that is far away right now..
Goosebumps every time
I agree, The Islander and High Hopes are excellent Marco songs. And while not the lead he is wonderful in Everdream from Wacken 2013 and Phantom of the Opera

Such a beautyfull song .
When you watch the video of the whole Wembleyconcert after this songs ends Floor points at Marco and shouts out his name , Marco gently thanks Floor , real sweet to see ❤
Lovely reaction to a beautiful song guys...
Sometimes it is the quiet tones that are particularly powerful.
This song was written for Marko on the lead, and Anette did the harmony. Though Floor has taken over from Anette it means not that this song is now for her to do the lead. Still she is able to add some subtile Floor-ish elements, such as a crescendo, which is her speciality. Floor and Marko could sing together and create magic.
I played this song for my fiancé. He loved it. I’m trying to convert him into a Nightwish fan lol.
Man your ears are liking this :D
Thanks for your great reaction 😊 Marko is AWESOME 🥰❤! This is a beautiful song. Nightwish 🤩😍
Nightwish Army UK popping in. How many singers can say they had Floor as a backing singer :)
None, bro 🙂🙂🙂
@@eddiecreutzburg7375 marko can
oh there are quite a few actually..... She started out as a backing vocalist after all on several occasions.
@@nightwisharmyuk yep, only he 😇😇😇
we will so miss Marco because of how well Floor and Marco blend together, just meant to be...........
I think it's testament to Marko's ability that he has blended well with all singers in Nightwish. He can adjust his voice to match whoever he sings with.

Hey you beautiful people 🍀
Nice see you again. Greetings from the Netherlands 🤘🏻🇳🇱
that E-bow takes some skill to play.
I know the difference between kissing the person I love when their lips were red and hot and.........then blue and cold. This song always reminds me of the best moments I had with my wife but also the worst moment of my life. I will always love you SONIA. 🧡🤎🖤🧡🤎🖤🧡🤎🖤🧡🤎🖤🧡🤎🖤🧡🤎🖤
💔😢
Please listen the cover of this song by artist called Ilta! Marko loved the cover! His live reaction to the song is amazing!🙏🏼
in the original version there were no guitars or female vocals at all. See official great video.
MARKOOOO 👍🤘🤘🤘

On the studio version they use a violin instead of an Guitar played with an E-bow.
I have a Question about the E Bow.. Can i use it with an E - Bass?
An E-Bow is not the most ideal piece of equipment for bass unfortunately. Best will be to try and see what happens
Can you tell me what was that metal song in the beginning intro to your video? Thanks u
Lifetaker!
Hi there, great reaction
Please check out "The Islander" from the Tampere show
Greetings from Sweden
I wish this song was double the lenght.
Well, when you're such a good singer that you can get Floor to do the harmonies...
damn ninjas cutting onions
Lets hope he got the T shirt (Floor Jansen was my backing singer) anther Norfolk bod .

Time to do the islander.
This song IS Powerful and Beautiful ..... I Love this song ( despite the Onion ninjas 🙃).

There is one thing I don't like in this song. It's way too SHORT!!!
And about Marco... as you may know, he was in masked singer Finland (and won of course), every song he sang was in different voise. Nobody didn't recocnise him :-D
👏👏
dat Roy die dat viool geluid speelt
It’s not an original but ; just imagine…” Floor Jansen is my back-up singer “
I was doing fine until Floor joined in, then I had to reach for the tissues. Question: Was Troy's reverb added as an effect or is that the sound created by the e-bow?
It's the ebow. The original song uses violins for that part, the ebow helps to somewhat achieve that haunting sound with the guitar.
Beautiful beyond words 😊
We are Neo Prog & we don’t care.
The only con I have about this song is .... It's too freakin' short!!!!!!
The only thing wrong with this song .....its too short .
