Floor windmills constantly because she is singlehandedly trying to save the environment by generating clean energy for the entire world. A noble goal indeed.
@@benceklock4831 I looked it up I got the years mixed up. I do seem to reading or hearing in an interview that she toured the early months of pregnancy, and I think it was in the context of that dress being what she wore because it was more comfortable.
When Floor asks "will you sing with us? " followed by WE WERE HERE always makes me cry. It shows the planet will still be here long after mankind has gone
I too have considered in billions of years when either as a species we've moved on or died out what will be left to show we were ever here. There are chemicals, particles that don't exist naturally that will still be detectable in the soil, oceans. atmosphere. This all predisposes whomever it is that comes here is even looking for signs of advanced scientific life. The greatest tragedy would be if we allow ourselves to go extinct.
This was the closing song of the show. Floor is some kind of dynamo. She does the windmill to get more energy. She moves her head like that and energy flows through her body. There is one of this windmilling from her in Seven days to the wolves live Wembley, where she does for a long time and then she continues singing just like that. Some people has said that Floor is a FORCE OF NATURE.
Great reaction. You're not criticizing. You're analyzing. Analysis is breaking down techniques and performance without placing subjective judgment. Critics judge songs/performances. You break them down. Are you French Canadian? I'm not great with accents, but it sounds like it.
Great reaction to a masterful song. You had very interesting things to say so thanks for that, Elvann. I've waited a few hours to watch this and you didn't disappoint :)
About her headbanging. Do you know that there in concert were parents of Floor? And she was headbanging before them. I imagine, her mom thought: "C'mon, what's you doing, daughter?" There are no into her music, but were very proud of her when that show ends. And i wonder how fast Floor is going from headbanging to singing, and has no headache with her windmill. She is incredible.
If you want to see what her parents really think, there's an interview from the concert in this dutch documentary (english subs) where you can hear her parents. th-cam.com/video/B3NIfu0qvtg/w-d-xo.html
This is your channel with your way of reacting. If others don't like it, they should jog on. Some people think they are still on the Nightwish discord and have to keep getting one up on everyone all the time. Sickening, upsetting such a lovely reactor.
As the name says.. is not only a song.. It is a show.. Fun fact.. they can play almost 45 minutes with 3 songs... Greatest show, Poet and the Pendulum and Ghost love score// =).. Thanks for your reaction!!!
What was the placement of the song in the show? It was the last one! Yes she has a lot of energy left. My own working hypothesis is, that the windmills actually recharge her like a windup toy ;) Just much better of course.
Troy plays the tin whistle also called low whistle. And the pipes, were Uilleann pipes, an instrument for those with a masochistic trait. And it was the final song of the set list.
Really appreciate the comment about opera tone not having to be only the strict rounded head voice shown here. Have in mind though that the particular way Floor approaches this part is actually important. The tone she uses shows a lot of vocal discernment if you take into context the actual lyrics and what this part is designed by Tuomas to represent. The juxtaposition between the pre-existing opus perfectum that is Gaia with us as imperfect entities still sleeping in it and waiting to evolve into existence is shown perfectly via the way the big operatic sound thins and then cuts into the whispering part (that's when you paused the video). A brighter tone would actually fail to convey here both the - introductory to this show of life - narrative aspect of the lyrics AND the intended contrast I wrote about above (as well as the move from minor to major, also intended here). Cheers..C:
I was about to write this (1 year late lol). There isn't a single reason for her to not sing exactly as it is... the first part is about coming to life, everything is still dark. Things get brighter exactly when Mr. Dawkins says "Isn't is a noble and enlightned way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work and understand the universe, and how we came to wake up in it?", and that's when the music explodes (big bang, someone?). I just watched a ton of Elvann reactions, and liked it in general, but her technical analysis (whichs is good) often makes her miss a lot of context.
Floor, a long with adding vocal flourishes to songs that broaden the sound, her "head banging" is also an added measure which she does to enhance the song and get the crowd into the song. She is the epitome of a performer fully in charge of her instrument and presence.
One of the reasons I love your reactions is the emotion you show on your face and the obvious joy you have at the beauty of the music. And the 'flute' that Troy was playing at the start was a Tin (Irish) Whistle in Low D I believe. He seems to have a number of them in different keys. I always love tin whistles over recorders as they always seem more mellow and flute-like to me, even though they are less versatile with key changes! Also, it is a shame you missed the last 20% or so of the song as there are some beautiful melodies and thought provoking lyrics spoken by Prof. Dawkins (his own words and Darwin's) which are the culmination of everything Tuomas was working towards on this album.
The monotone part Floor is singing (?) is also bound to the theme at that point: gravity. So it comes from her mouth with… gravity. Where also the drums and bass go. There's so much composed to this, you really can't get them all at one listening. And it actually helps if you'd know the lyrics beforehand - then you have time to notice how they are woven together with the music, the story told in many layers at once.
Some Singers sing what they can/ Tarya , Anette,+...... : Floor is playing her own instrument!: Nightwish is, was a music Experimental with 22/23 members. Not music allone in perfection- ART!❤
Tuomas is actually using the fireworks as another instrument. This song is about the origins of the universe, and I believe the fireworks represent the Big Bang. I always love when musicians reach outside the traditional and surprise us with what can create music.
I can assure you that Floor's start in this operatic tone is intended. To me it express the start of the universe, dark, simple but evolving - like she is doing through the song - evolving and using all kind of voice nerd gigs plus body/facial expressions. She is quite unique in this. You also really see it in The Poet and the Pendulum - and 7 days at the wolves - but she actually almost always do this kind of building up. And you are a super cool reactor, while you know - really know - your stuff. And you sing Nightwish songs - respect 🤘
Who cares about that Metallica riff, but the organ fugue that comprises the second movement of BWV 565 in D minor by J.S. Bach needs more appreciation.
@@maxmattt That is an urban legend. Granted that Tuomas saw Metallica live as a teenager, but he also saw G'n'Rs at the same concert, of which he said it changed his life. However, this is far from saying that Nightwish wouldn't exist without Metallica, as Tuomas has never said that they influenced his music & songwriting, although Emppu is a Metallica fan. Besides, Metallica hasn't come up with anything worthwhile fro 20+ years.
How unlucky for those who have not yet discovered the magic that is Nightwish. Hopefully performances like this amazing piece of musical art, and the continuing efforts of reactors like yourself Elvann, many more will be made aware of the energy and joy this amazing band brings to so many.🤘🤘 Just an incredible adventure in songwriting and performance👍👍
If you look up and read what the song/story is telling you, you will see how everything even the changes in the music and singing style all fit in together, from the beginning, creation, to current day of the planet/universe/animals/humanity etc, the way they did it fits perfectly and couldn't be done better or differently and still have the same feel to the song
I think Floor headbangs any chance she gets :D. I don't think I've seen a Nightwish live performance where she doesn't at least once per song. Nooooo you didn't watch the to the end of it. You really should. Richard Dawkins ties a nice bow on the whole song.
They did indeed sync the fireworks. TankTheTech says there are two ways they could be done. One is on timers. The more reliable way, which he believes they used, is to have techs firing them off in response to audio cues (like a click track.) The "flute" is an Irish tin whistle, if I'm not mistaken. You ended too soon, though!! There was more to see (plus a heartwarming concert ending, if you go far enough.)
Floor is the next stage in human evolution - have you seen the size of her neck - who knows what her daughter will be capable of when she is older? 😜 If you listen carefully, you can hear snippets of Toccata and Fugue by Bach, Enter Sandman by Metallica - and the keyboard from 22:30 - 23:00 is very reminiscent of the theme from John Carpenter's "Halloween".
Just another brilliant touch from Tuomas. This IS about birth of earth and Life and evolution and end of mankind ...so he just added some parts about evolution of music 🥰
Nightwish defies the Space/Time Continuum. It would take Einstein or Hawkings to fully explain it, but times passes more swiftly when Nightwish music is being played. Seriously, check it out.
for me "the gratest show on earth" is the best song that tuomas has composed, it is really his masterpiece. and with the voice of Floor Jansen this song quit the human dimension for enter in the divine domain.
Floor's windmilling alone? Remember she is a lot younger than most other band members. Head banging and windmilling probably discouraged by these old guys doctors. Floor does it because she is a performer and crowds love it. (And she is super human.)
She wasn't the only one with the hairspinning, well, maybe in that part yes, but Tuomas did it already around the 11:30 min mark of this video. Also, her parents were there that day, so she probably did it for them a bit too ^^
Funny you should comment about how big Floor's approach to the openning section is, because as of the 2018 Decades tour she now does it *even bigger* in the kind of operatic mixed voice she used in Phantom on Beste Zangers (and in the Decades tour on The Kinslayer and parts of Gethsemane), which I personally think sounds absolutely amazing but I'm a total sucker for female classical voice types using at least some chest resonance. Oh, and this song was the last one they performed in that show, which makes her energy level in this performance even more impressive.
We are the universe made manifest. Here to understand itself. From the galaxies to the solar systems. From all the planet's to all the vastness in between. Hince from the star's we came. To the star's we must return. Before the eternal night of us ALL. For no other reason. To proclaim to the rest of the universe. WE WERE HERE!!!
This song is what I use as evidence to fans that want to complain that Floor's vocal talents were underutilized on the album. In this one song her vocal talents are given the full spectrum.
Very extensive react/analysis. Thanks. And BTW Elvann, I've missed your react vids. Of course seen you latest videos, this was one I never saw from your reacts. Now the obvious, you look very pretty in this video. If we meet someday in some NW concert I buy u a coffee or beer. Whichever is then appropriate I guess, I do hope Marko get over he's depression once tours start in NW's part and he realizes that all fans miss him and he misses shows. Well bye from Naantali. Near Turku if u didn't know. Hope u are well.
themuse011 I guess that what he means by fireworks might be Dawkins speech at the end. I feel as if this song is incomplete without that speech, but yeah, it's not a big deal anyways
@@CrizeChannel I was referring to the fireworks display at the conclusion of the concert, it's part of the outro and production credits for the DVD from which the video was taken.
They're all super talented and this song is a master piece :) I noticed the Harp behind you :) Nice :) The french melodic metal band ORKHYS uses Harp is most of the songs ("Blood Ties" for example of "The devil and the impudent" or "Home" and many others) :) You may really like it :)
Great reaction even if you skipped the Dawkins point the song was making throughout. Funny how Tuomas and Floor were both into science as they were growing up and here they combined both science and their passion for music in an epic art form. A always love your little discuss especially the Opera info, only Elvann can give you an epic Nightwish song along with a lesson on Opera and song structure and how Floor is amazing in heel windmilling (she is Dutch) and then coming out of it into the vocals. Love you channel and the fact you are starting to expand to other bands and genres.
Great reaction! It was nice to see you react to a Nightwish song you weren't already familiar with. And don't listen to those comments saying you stopping the video too early. How could you have known. And who doesn't make mistakes... everybody does. People should be more understanding. Great job! Please keep doing more! :)
That was part of my first experience with this song live, and sadly that included missing the ending. But heh, it's just a video, I can go back to listen to it as many times as I want ;) Thanks for your kind comment and understanding!

I loled hard on this :D
@@eminabrestovac :)
@@BEstudent being a Finn Niitwish is a Finnish as can be and Floor hung out with the metal crowd in Finland so you go check yourself
Windmill in high heels and sing right after is one of the many reasons why Floor is the best.
Also I'm vaguely sure this is while she was pregnant to boot?
@@TheMadSocrates WAITAFUCKINGFUCK SHE WAS PREGNANT WHILE DOING THIS??!!

Well, we Dutch are known for our windmill after all.

I gotta say, you are probably the sweetest person I have seen on TH-cam. Keep up the great attitude
This is the last song of the set! Such incredible energy!! Also if you havnt checked it out yet I suggest Sleeping Sun from this concert also.
Sleeping Sun is pretty much my favorite Nightwish song.

I’ve seen them play this live twice. It’s just amazing live, so moving. The recording is nice, but live is the magic.
Hope You did some pre-study on this cause there's a meaning, true meanimg behind 🤗 All the best from 🇫🇮 🤗

Are you French Canadian? I'm not great with accents, but it sounds like it.
You skipped the end, so you also missed the final voice message of mr. Dawkins. And this was the final song of the concert.
not a big deal at all since shes just reacting to the vocals cuz shes a vocal coach lol.
@@Mohankeneh As long as she knows there is more and cuts it intentionally then OK. But there was nothing suggesting so... just too quick to stop?
@@SYNtemp It wasn't intentional, I didn't know there was more. But heh, that's life. I'llgo back to watch the ending later, it's not a big deal!
Mohankeneh
But she only reacted to Floor. I see no opinion regarding Marko's vocals
@Kenneth Nyman you're a joke, and not even a funny one
Great reaction to a masterful song. You had very interesting things to say so thanks for that, Elvann. I've waited a few hours to watch this and you didn't disappoint :)
yup, finished too early.. the end would have aswered one of your questions :)

Troy is playing a Low Whistle at the beginning - then Uilleann Pipes.
Awesome reaction and analysis,, the “hair spinning “ is called Windmill, don’t know if you knew the term.
Troy plays the tin whistle also called low whistle. And the pipes, were Uilleann pipes, an instrument for those with a masochistic trait.
And it was the final song of the set list.
I appreciate your reactions and commentary Elvaan. Your knowledge gives a good perspective.
Also Tuomas' love of soundtracks is evident in everything he writes.
Even more so, if you go to listen some auri and life and times of scrooge stuff

I think that Elvann you are the most best reactor for Nightwish songs ......LOVE YOUR REACTIONS ALLWAYS!!!
She always seems to wear high heels on stage. And windmilling almost every chance she gets.
Usually Elvann just happens to look away when Floor is windmilling, finally she noticed it 😂
Boomstin Bang, I think Floor just REALLY LOVES performing live! 😊
And she does it since After Forever, I love it
The more Floor dances around, the more she enjoys that particular song.
Everything was great, your reaction, the song, and their performance. This song still blows my mind, this band musicality is on another level 👍

Some Singers sing what they can/ Tarya , Anette,+...... : Floor is playing her own instrument!: Nightwish is, was a music Experimental with 22/23 members. Not music allone in perfection- ART!❤
Great reaction to the greatest show on earth. I'm still amazed with this performance from Tampere, it was really a magical performance.
My favourite Nightwish reactor. 🥂🎉🥳🎊🤘

Yes she is!!! I love her
Tuomas is actually using the fireworks as another instrument. This song is about the origins of the universe, and I believe the fireworks represent the Big Bang. I always love when musicians reach outside the traditional and surprise us with what can create music.
The song isn't about the big bang. The fireworks represent the asteroid bombardment during the Earth's creation.
I can assure you that Floor's start in this operatic tone is intended. To me it express the start of the universe, dark, simple but evolving - like she is doing through the song - evolving and using all kind of voice nerd gigs plus body/facial expressions. She is quite unique in this.
You also really see it in The Poet and the Pendulum - and 7 days at the wolves - but she actually almost always do this kind of building up.
And you are a super cool reactor, while you know - really know - your stuff. And you sing Nightwish songs - respect 🤘
This song is incredible. Goosebumps from begin to end. ALWAYS!
Great reaction. The song and their performance was mind blowing and it still amazed me whenever I was back to watch it again.
Tons of energy! Especially for the last song of a nearly 3 hour show!
Didn't know you lived in Finland. But that hoodie, Iittala mug and Assembly poster gave it away. :D
Your analysis of what's happening vocally is very interesting and informative.
Hi Elvann love your reactions but did you miss the metalica riff at 23:28. Just wanted to point that out to you. greetings from the Netherlands.

he plays enter Sand man, just listen to the lyrics after that ; "Man, he took his time in the sun
Had a dream to understand
, A single grain of sand"
It's actually Bach's Minuet in G
Just another brilliant touch from Tuomas.
This IS about birth of earth and Life and evolution and end of mankind ...so he just added some parts about evolution of music 🥰
@@marttivuorinen8475 The perfect spice to a gourmet dish.
Nice reaction. It was mind blowing performance, the greatest show on earth for sure.
Don't know if anyone mentioned this in their comments, but the fireworks were synchronized to the music to "resemble" the big bang. 😊❤🤘🤘
Troy's bamboo flute is actually an Irish Low Whistle - made of metal. It has a very organic sound in his hands though.
she´s ( floor ) feeling the music! headbang baby!!!
This song doesn’t even feel like it’s more than 20 minutes long.
The actual song including the intro is more like 16 minutes long I believe. The rest is the instrumental outtro with Dawkins.
Yeah, It's actually like whole life of Life
Doesn't even feel much more than 5 minutes. Brilliant

Ahhh you missed the closing of the show! The outro music and further words are incredible
The instrument at the beginning with the "flute/clarinet" sound is called Uilleann ( pronounced I - lee - ann ) Pipes, are similar to Bagpipes.
i would die very happy hearing that voice
This is insane... Im getting old, but Nightwish beats it all, all my old heroes

We're pretty much on the same line of thought here I feel! :D I definitely have similar tastes! ;)
that last part belting for 2 mn is insane... and after an hour and half of singing... just insane
Really like your explanations on her voice. I am really looking forward to their new album next year. Maybe you could do an album review at that time.

Can you imagine if they played this at the Superbowl Halftime Show...!?
The second half would be an all out Scottish war out of Braveheart!

This was the last song of the concert. So the energy she displayed here is after performing for 2 hours. :-)
Yes, it was great. Maybe she knew she can invest all that remains :)
The flute is a shakuhachi. So named for its length. It is indeed bamboo.
oops and troy sorry and Thoumas is genious bless him and all of them blend so well now loving it such a change from them superb :-)
If you haven't already seen it you should check out Floor's version of Stargazers.
they usually end with that song now or they did last tour for the decades tour at least
The drummer, Kai, is from another planet as well.
You missed the fireworks at the end.
Elgon Williams, no.
I'm sure there are plenty of reaction videos for fireworks to satisfy you.
themuse011 I guess that what he means by fireworks might be Dawkins speech at the end.
I feel as if this song is incomplete without that speech, but yeah, it's not a big deal anyways
@@CrizeChannel I was referring to the fireworks display at the conclusion of the concert, it's part of the outro and production credits for the DVD from which the video was taken.
The song IS a complete firework
🤘🤘❤️🤘🤘 Wonderful as always!! You always brighten my day on here!! Ignore the negatives and just do you!!! 😊🤘🤘
Same concert - Toumas and Floor ``Week fantasy
Nice job reacting👍its not a big deal you mised the end! Carry on the Nice work you are doing🤘
you have the same headphones (you are a gamer? :D) btw did you notice the Marko voice? wtf this man is awesome.
I do game sometimes yes 😇😇
Not one comment on Marko's vocals?
They're all super talented and this song is a master piece :)
I noticed the Harp behind you :) Nice :) The french melodic metal band ORKHYS uses Harp is most of the songs ("Blood Ties" for example of "The devil and the impudent" or "Home" and many others) :) You may really like it :)
I only have about 30 years left to live so have decided to only watch Nightwish (with Floor) reactions.
Very nice to hear You say Tampere correctly😀
Hehehehe! 🇫🇮 ❤️
she sings what the lyrics call for .. relisten to this many time and then you will comprehend how she inflects why she does
Floor is a bad ass angel!GOD given talent
Maybe she decided that it fits here in this song better than the one you described.
Great reaction even if you skipped the Dawkins point the song was making throughout. Funny how Tuomas and Floor were both into science as they were growing up and here they combined both science and their passion for music in an epic art form. A always love your little discuss especially the Opera info, only Elvann can give you an epic Nightwish song along with a lesson on Opera and song structure and how Floor is amazing in heel windmilling (she is Dutch) and then coming out of it into the vocals. Love you channel and the fact you are starting to expand to other bands and genres.
Great reaction! It was nice to see you react to a Nightwish song you weren't already familiar with. And don't listen to those comments saying you stopping the video too early. How could you have known. And who doesn't make mistakes... everybody does. People should be more understanding. Great job! Please keep doing more! :)
That was part of my first experience with this song live, and sadly that included missing the ending. But heh, it's just a video, I can go back to listen to it as many times as I want ;) Thanks for your kind comment and understanding!
