4:05 is perfect 😂
Chase is like "oh my... 😲"
and Tuomas "oh yeah 😏"
there is just something about the way Floor sings this song that sets my heart on fire.
Glad to see you are doing this overlooked gem.
🔥🔥🔥 Thanks for this one. I was there, about 7 undistancing bodies back from front center. One of the two Nightwish shows I've been to so far and Sahara is one of my top ten NW songs. Since it is rare for them to do this song live, I was feeling almost like it was a personal gift. What a great night. Fortunate to be able to relive a little of it. ❤❤❤
Good to see another Nightwish Saturday with Chase doing Chase things!
I can't believe that with the hundreds of Nightwish reactions I've watched I'd never seen anyone react to this song before. This is awesome. I'd never heard it until today but am definitely going to check out the studio version.
I love this song and this performance so much! Seriously underrated..
VERY underrated. Probably because it isn't on one of the major concerts.
This song and "Whoever Brings the Night" are my hidden gems of the DPP album.
Cadence of Her Last Breath is neat as heck too
Floor is awesome as usual, but Kai is just killing this song. Okay, the whole band is absolutely stunning.
As good a drummer Kai is he looks a lot like he doesn't have the energy to play the drums in this video. It is not his fault (well a bit but I'll get to that later) but Jukka's. Jukka played the drums with such intensity, full body energy and that everyone looks lazy in comparison. Kai looking lazy is a bit of his own fault too because he can afford to take it easy with all the skills that he has.
"Nightwish doin' Nightwish things" should be a tee-shirt.
40+ nightwish reactions by chase and still lots of new gems to discover
man i love this song. the version on dark passion play with anette is killer and i'd definitely recommend checking it out when you have time, but of course floor makes it her own and absolutely slays it in the process
"Dunes are soaring, as on a Chase..." * wink wink *
Just discovered you after going through a lot of Nightwish reactors. Some for the joy on their faces, some are too full of themselves. As a non-musician, it grew too much with the singers who let us know every note, pointing out palate lifts etc., after a while it's deadening. And then the composers who have to play along, delineating every key change...like most of us would be so fixated on a note by note commentary or music theory!
You on the other hand share our enthusiasm with your well-punctuated comments and insights, and of course we are just looking to see someone as delighted as we are! I'm old & ears are shot; can't hear some of it; but I still learn to enjoy my favorite band more through you.
'Last of the Wilds' live at Wacken! It's such a fun song! Also, 'Sagan' is greatly overlooked, nobody ever does that one 😔
Yes I love Sagan.
Yup, Sagan
Agreed on Last of the Wilds, hes gonna have a lot of fun with that one! :)
FYI that cymbal Kai is hitting on those syncopated off beats at the end is a China cymbal. (The Splash is the tiny, gentler crash cymbal with a higher pitch and very short decay.)
Shara is a very overlooked song of theirs and one I love very much. Very happy that you did it. Great reaction as always.
And the customary week 5 of me requesting Nightwish - Beauty OF the beast studio version.
Sahara's opening tones immediately bring me into Northern Africa and Arabian oriental atmospheres which are repeated further down in the song, especially Kai with the percussion, but also by Troy, Emppu and Floor's vocal style. It’s as of I hear an Moroccan women’s vibe and synchronized with that she dances that North African bellydance moves. The strophe "1001 nights unseen" seems to reminds us of the Shereazade fairytales. Is she talking about Ali Baba? Or more in general about the curse of a disturbed Egyptian graveyard in case of archaeological research in the Valley of the Kings. But who were the philosopher and the queen?
This song is inspired by the book “The One Thousand And One Nights” so you are probably right! if Shereazade fairytales are from there :)))
edit: I just looked up the fairytale and i’m pretty sure you are correct! thank you for sharing!!
They used Phrygian AKA Arabian scale in composing the music , and that's the secret behind the ancient Arabian vibe , a lot of Metal bands use this scale because it sounds evil as well ..... and historically speaking , North African countries including Egypt aren't of Arabian origins and that goes for their people as well , the Arabs emerged from Yemen and then to the Arabian gulf and the levant ( Syria , Jordan , Iraq and Palestine )
@@alaaobaid3363 thanks for your comments. I did talk about the Sheherazade vibe not particularly an ethnically correct analyse. It seems that the queen even could direct towards Cleopatra and the philosopher towards Julius Caesar or/and the Roman general Marcus Aurelius. So if that will be the correct case, the vibe is still Middle East/North African in general but ethnically not quite historical correct.
The largest ethnic groups in North Africa are Arabs, Berbers are considered the second largest ethnicity in north africa and West Africans are the largest ethnicity in the west and the Arabs are a majority also in the east approaching the Middle East.
@@papaverweg
Like I said they aren't Arabs bro , they are the descendants of Hexus tribes more than 2000 years ago , and they are called Amazighes except in Egypt which they are the descendants of Pharaohs and their people , but that's just talking ethnically , if you go really deep into it , you might find the people in Syria , Lebanon , Jordan and Palestine are descendants from Greek or Roman people !!!
An urgent note referring the drummer: Kai fits perfectly in and always gives his best. He is well worth more attention as he bears bis part of every song in perfection :)
Another gem from the Anette era. Something about Dark Passion Play & Imaginaerum is so one of a kind. They are really special albums sound wise. My favorite off Dark Passion Play is Cadence of Her Last Breath. criminally underrated
for me these were their two best albums before Human Nature, they were very consistent and a lot more mature song writing wise and sound wise. All their earlier albums were very hit and miss for me whereas these two I could listen completely through without needing to skip.
@@mnewm21 couldn’t agree more, very mature and refined work. And I think Anette’s voice fit perfectly with the sound they went with. it’s some good stuff!
@@mnewm21 could it be that in the case of those 2 albums, Tuomas wrote how he would without thinking on a type of voice in specific? And the ones where he had to write thinking on how better to utilize Floor and Tarja's voice as well kind of get in his way?
Yeah those two albums made Nightwish go from a band I liked to one of my favourites. I think the music is a bit more accessible than previous albums without losing depth. I'd love to hear Floors take on more of those songs, not that I always prefer her (although I usually do) but I'd certainly enjoy seeing what she does with them.
Agreed..Anette sounds amazing on this song and the album. Floor sounded a little flat on occasions here, but then again it wasn't written for her so🙂
How about a double reaction: "Last of the wilds" live at wacken, then "Erämaan viimeinen feat. Jonsu", the same song, but with vocals and in Finnish
How cool it is that these NW Saturdays are going for what seems like a year and you just don't run out of great stuff
And there is still more to see 😉
@@ChantalLalonde I know lol, plenty more catalog remaining
Creek Mary's Blood is a masterpiece aswell
Great choice! I hope it’s both studio and live versions! I love them both. Suggestions: Slow, Love, Slow; The crow, the owl, and the dove (official fan video); Meadows of Heaven; Rest calm
Yeah, more Annete
I love Eva, Meadows of Heaven, and For the Heart I Once Had ❤
@@eevee2512 I love those too :) Just wanted my list to be a bit shorter. Also Turn lose the mermaids, cadence of her last breathe, scaretale :)
@@eves1503 Chase already listened to Scaretale on halloween
@@iliagharibashvili748 yeah I know :) I was just responding to the other person that I also like those other songs :)
Thanks for reacting to this often overlooked song. This song always reminds me of when I was a young boy. I was born and grew up in Gibraltar until I was 9. Morocco is only 13km (8 miles) away across the Straits and I have memories of sometimes picking up Moroccan radio and hearing these types of rhythms and vocal styles. Stay safe 🤘✌
Got the best shave of my life from an Islamic barber in Gibralter town. Locals sitting in the barbershop refused to have their pictures taken. Afraid I would steal their souls.
HOLLY MOLLY YESSSSSSSSS 🖤🤘 uhhh I so love this song. It's like a Pharaoh Queen screaming in the desert. Can't wait 🖤
Where is Gethsemane? Stargazers? PLEASE
Yes please, Stargazers, Tarja-era song with Floor live in Tampere: th-cam.com/video/NhEuAPYm_Ug/w-d-xo.html
Stargazers pleeeeaase with Tarja. I love Floor but that is one of the Songs that she will never be able to truly recreate
@@Simon-fj2wn I agree. I love Floor, but I prefer Stargazers and Gethsemane with Tarja.
@@Simon-fj2wn To be honest, I would rather have him react to the album versions. So powerful.
I would gladly take Gethsemane from Buenos Aires! Love it!!
Great, Chase, one of my favorites!! Looking forward!
Just watching their Decades concert in Buenos Aires, and it is so worth the watch! Maybe you could pick a song to review, or do a live chat with the whole concert.
Keep on keeping on: the Ginger Snap crew is along for the ride!
Annette's voice was absolutely killer on this song. Lots of folks saying it, and they right. This is a very underrated song. Annette is just too sadly overlooked.
I miss Anette's "hep hep hep" in this song
As much as I love Floor, Annette's Storytime and Scaretale are so much better
Although I listened to Nightwish with Tarja and had the albums it was the albums with Annette that really got them into being one of my favorite bands. I wish there was a good quality live concert with her like the other singers, preferably from later on as the early live stuff I have heard with her was rough in places.
That said for me I prefer Floor's Storytime but Annette does my favorite version of Scaretale. I won't say better since its a matter of preference.
@@101Mant I did watch 2 shows with good quality on youtube last year. One in a festival in France and the other in Serbia. I'll see if I can get the links 😉
I am a huge Tarja fan and Floor is amazing, but I just love Anette as well. Great person, great singer.
Annette ..etwas quietschige Stimme, aber gut für Imaginaerium.
Many moons ago, Chase, you said Floor could sing the phone book and you would listen.
Here's Floor singing the phone book:
th-cam.com/video/CLUr1DLwEQg/w-d-xo.html
I love these reactions! Btw my suggestions are “Meadows of Heaven” (song with Annette but also a lot of backing vocals and progression) and then maybe something by Rhapsody of fire (they even worked with sir Christopher Lee, the guitarist Luca Turilli is a beast and the singer has a very peculiar voice, I think you would like them)
Meadows of Heaven is my all time favorite ballad :)
As a guitatist i say that Tuomas is smiling to Emppu for his "error"😂 in the opening cord (D# instead D. Cos opening is D F G# D# you can ear him switch from D# to D😂😂)
Troy with Ebow and guitar, also Greatest show intro...Kiss when you lips... in wembley
Love that you finally got to this one. It's criminally underrated. Just never get tired of getting all the juicy tidbits you seem to unearth and allow us to have a bit more insight into the "build" of the songs. Super fun as usual sir!
I love this song so much! 🥰 I think people underappreciate this most of the time. Thank you so much Chase for choosing to react to it! 🙏🌷🌷🌷You really made my weekend!
Reaction to all remaining songs and any new songs to come is good enough. No particular order. Thanks for the journey so far!
Amazing Nightwish ❤❤❤❤❤❤ South Africa ❤
I adore your reactions normally! I have to say, regarding this song, the studio version is so much deeper with different instruments, choir lines, Anette's vocals and that ending, god!
Love this song, Thankyou so much for this one Chase made my day.
My suggestion for the next one: Come Cover Me (Live in Buenos Aires 2018)
Another great one from this live: End Of All Hope
OMG WHAT
i literally replied to a comment in your previous nightwish video saying that this is my favorite dark passion play song and that i'd love to see you react to it because it's so overlooked
I LOVE YOU SM, I CAN'T WAIT ❤
also, you should do "fantasmic". it's one of my favorite nightwish songs, but not that many people like it as much. would love to see what you think of it!
OMG I Love Nightwish with Floor. So glad you are picking up on these songs, love learning more about the music through your eyes and knowledge.
You are always doing a fantastic job. Thank You!
Fabulous, thanks Chase, this song is a classic. Grows on you more with repeated listens. 😉
Troy's guitar was sadly quite low in the mix here, because he actually does a really nice guitar harmony with Emppu in the repeat of the opening riff (starting at 1:08 in this video). If you listen to other live versions of Sahara it really comes through. It's a real shame it wasn't as apparent in this video as I think it's something you would've picked up on and really appreciated, Chase. Harmonising guitars are a great part of the band's sound! He does some lovely melodic EBow work doubling Floor's vocal melody on the later choruses too, and replicates the outro melody under Floor at 15:15 then on his own at 15:37. He really adds a ton of good stuff to this song!
Thank You. Next Nightwish The Siren End Of An Era.
Chase you are the man, I love the attention to detail you have, you are a great reactor.
Glad to see you smiling, Chase
Great reaction Chase , Greetings from Greece
You were so busy with your normal nitpicking, something got by you.. the sound has a middle east (sahara) sound to it. Incredible song!
Hi My favorite 🙋♀️ and thanks for your reaction .🤘♥️😀
Came back to this reaction/analysis after many months.
It reminds me just what I am missing in the majority of reaction channels.
Chase you are on a different level.
So glad you are coming back after all your troubles.
I’ll always be back. Appreciate the support. Lots more coming
Yep! I agree with the other comments, Annette does a great job on this song. Have a listen to her track too.
I always feel you go over board with what you have to say,BUT this time you are soooo spot on with everything you have to share with your insight. you found everything this song has to offer!!!! and I do respect your opinion highly. My flesh always wants to hear the song uninterrupted ,BUT then again I really appreciate what you have to say and what you think , You Know Nightwish !!! and you know your stuff.My hats off to you my friend and please continue to do what you know Best!!!!
Hi Chase, always consistent, thanks. This is almost like Nightwish's Kashmir. Claudie52 out and take care.
Fantastic reaction Chase. Love it.
You have the most phenomenal reaction videos and the most detailed musical info of all the reactors I've seen so far (and I've seen quite a few); and I'm loving it.
Just a quick injection of info: that Cymbal you were wondering about - the one that Kai hits on the off-beat - is a China cymbal; more specifically a Meinl 18″ Byzance Traditional China (he has 2 of them on his kit)... might be more of a TankTheTech kind of thing but I figured I'd throw it in there just for fun. ;)
Again, great reaction. Keep up the amazing work.
Awsome, Loved this 😍👍
It´s amazing that there are still so many great songs Chase has not heard yet!
I believe this is the video where someone commented on Floor's dancing, subsequent to which she said she couldn't dance, following which eight gazillion people complimented on her on her dancing.
But I could be wrong.
(Then there's always "I Want My Tears Back" from Buenos Aires 2018, so....)
Thumbs up for Chase! Hey, it's the shirt she wears for her Friday fan questions bit... maybe... Love this song, I haven't heard this version before. Exciting! I think Troy was using his ebow for this, taking the place of some of the orchestral parts from the original recording. Really cool sound.
Thank you for reacting to this gem!! Not sure if you have already done it, but for some reason this song (for me) always walks hand in hand with their other song called "Siren", it would be awesome if you could give a listen to it also!
What? 2 downvotes already, 58 mins before it starts???
I guess haters will always be haters, nothing new there.
Cheers / B.
I don’t know if it’s just me but when I first heard song of myself it took me straight back to this song, like it reminded me of the melody.
Can’t wait for this gem! 💕🤘
Don’t forget to check out the studio version with Anette 💜
she is amazing
One of their undrerrated ones! Definitely belongs into my top 30 Nightwish songs.😀
Versatile music and busy playing ... so awesome again and a bit different though. So sad that Marco leaves the band.
Imagine that Nightwish would surprise you yet again with their musical direction within a song! :-) Great stuff! One of these days I hope you take a look at their song 'Creek Mary's Blood' from their End Of An Era tour! Cheers!
Like this song so much!! 💙👌💃
The initial keyboard effects reminded me of a circus calliope or tubular bells. A middle-Eastern power ballad. This song is becoming a favorite of mine.
I really love this song Chase! I am a big fan of songs that have an Arabian grove and allow you to play in the harmonic minor scales. I am not sure where Sahara falls in the set. I think the middle somewhere. Loved it Chase! Peace.
Hey Chase i would like you to react to a song from Nightwish called Rest Calm, there aren't many reactions to that song on youtube but its such an underrated, heavy, but beautiful song. Thanks!!!
somebody asking where the emotions come about nightwish music? no not singer or anybody single effort. it´s coming about nightwish band. thanx to great reaction chase and have great day there.
I like the fact that it’s a kind of ‘dress-down’ Friday gig and Floor is just wearing what she might wear out to a wine bar, rather than the ‘Mistress of Pain’ corset ensemble she wears at Wembley 2016, or the Decades gig in Buenos Aries. Of course, she probably enjoys all the costumes, but this is a nice contrast.
That "what was that?" look that Tuomas had at 4:05 was in response to Emppu's botched note at 3:45.
I've noticed his expression before but didn't think much of it. Now it makes sense, lol. Thanks.
@@eevee2512 That's why I love live performances.
Haha we all did!
That pause on Tuomas' face! lol.
Ever hoping for a double reaction to Gethsemane - both Helsinki 1999 and Decades, Buenos Aires. So much to compare and contrast between the two performances. Good choice for Easter :)
I love Troy using E-Bow. it add such a cool sound
the studio version still gives me chills
If there’s somebody on TH-cam that has done MORE for Nightwish and their fans in their reactions than you (both in quantity and quality), then show them to me, PLEASE. Because I cannot think of one.
One of my dark horse favorites; I implore you to check out Annette’s version now (if you haven’t already), I actually prefer it to Floor’s.
Keep doing YOU, my friend. We’re on this journey together, but it’s ultimately YOUR journey. Let it lead where you need and want it to, when you’re able, willing, and ready to. And those that are fans of Chase Carneson will follow. 🙏🏼🤘🏼
4:13 Love how he anticipated that drum fill. That energy though lol
That moment when Chase says ,,i should have let it play out ..THEN DOESNT !!! ....LMAO
I've now been through 41 of your nightwish reactions and I've noticed that you haven't reacted any of the Century Child album. You've done at least 1 from all of the other albums and I feel you're missing out. There are great songs such as, bless the child, end of all hope, dead to the world, slaying the dreamer, feel for you, phantom of the opera and bueaty of the beast. Any version you like and any order you like. But don't miss out! Great reactions again Chase! 👏
Would buy fan shirt : I go back to the beginning, you know how it works! Or maybe "wait a second"
However, lots of love to you.
Chase I think for these classics you should react to both versions Album and Live! Just a suggestion I personally prefer album version
Absolutely. I love the live versions for the vocals and the embellishments they develop as the songs evolve. But I love the studio versions for how forward the symphonic elements are, and the orchestral tracks in Sahara are just phenomenal.
Couldn't agree more😍
*Make sure to check out the studio/album version, there you can experience the full power of the pre-recorded orchestral parts. Greetings & Stay safe.*
🎵🌟🔥🔥🔥🎵✨💿👍🔊✅🔥🤘😎👍
Seconded. For all songs, but this one in extra particular.
Absolutely. I don't think Floor killed this song. Even though she can sing almost anything she didn't do it for me on this one🤷🏻♀️
the studio version is still the best and my favorite
Beautiful song, wonderful vibe this song has does it not? Musical genius is it not? As you say, NW doing NW things. Thanks for the reaction to this lovely song.
Emppu is possibly the most underrated guitarist in metal. The guys a little genius!
When you said the music sounded like Christmas, it reminded me of a video I watched about music theory that explains what makes music sounds Christmas-y. I believe it was Sideways (one of my favorite TH-cam channels). I think you might find his stuff interesting regardless. I'll try to find the video.
Eeee, loved that one. Had not heard Floor doing this one, was one of my favourite Annette songs. Show me something Floor cannot do :D
What a great reaction again! I thought I subscribed to your channel when you did the reaction to yourself when you first did ghost love score. I saw the original as well. You're way way past my minimal requirement of 5 likes to subscribe. So here I am :D
Chase, you should do much more tran TH-cam, TH-cam and Tank( I online follow TH-cam maybe are others too) are owesome, you really know how to present and Aldo hale that camera glue... It fitz you both....Best of luck în your good work. Keep it safe!!!
I'd love to hear Floor sing Dreamcatcher's "Sahara". 🤘
So, there's a song I'd love to see you react to. Unfortunately it's only a studio version as I don't think they ever played it live. "Feel for You" from Century Child. The way I put it in a comment once was: Listen to Poet and the Pendulum for unique song structure, deep and powerful lyrics, amazing bass playing, perfectly timed vocals from Marko, and goose bump raising moments. Listen to "Feel for You" for the same things if you only have 4 minutes instead of 20. As a plus, it's also one of the best 'Vampire' songs I've ever heard.
Good old one👍🔥
Never heard this version. I dig it - an under-rated song at best.
Oh yeah! Another hidden gem. May I recommend Dead Gardens next?
Am I the only one who noticed, that Floor was pregnant during that show? Thats why She take more breath then usual. What a careful mother. :)
her daugther will sing and play drums in the kindergarten for sure
except she wasn't pregnant....unless I didn't get the memo that humans are now pregnant for more than a year :P
usually you have to be at least 12 weeks along to show a visible baby bump (at least that's what you get told), this show was in March 2016, her daughter was born in March 2017.....you do the maths ^^
