- This was very epic in every way both visually and vocally. NightWish can certainly put on an incredible show. The intro, flute and bagpipes were my favorite part.

Thank you for watching our video. This is an amazing performance and we really enjoyed it. Forgive Pops and his chatting during the video. I'm trying to get him to stop that.😋 Thank you for your support.
In my opinion the whole purpose of a reaction is that you chat. If I wanted to just listen to the song on its on I'd do that instead.
Thanks we appreciate that.👍
Pops and Grammy pops here. Pops knows best.
I suggest reacting to the live version @ wembley with lytics when doing poet and the pendulum
Bridget McCracken I will thank you for the suggestions.
Right, so I'm going to be your Poet and the Pendulum explainer tonight. It's pretty hot around here and I don't have too much energy left, so I'm shamelessly going to recycle my last version. Here goes:
Nightwish came to life when shortly after their foundation the singer Tarja Turunen joined the band, a childhood friend from Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboarder and main composer of the band. They achieved some greatness together but there were mounting tensions within the band around Tarjas pursuit of a solo career and a certain dislike of her newly aquired husband and manager.
This led to the band firing Tarja with an open letter right after the "End of an Era" concert in Helsinki. There is a DVD of that concert and I suggest you watch the last song and what goes on with the band members after that last song: th-cam.com/video/dorX-FLd6ec/w-d-xo.html
Bring that mindset plus some quite negative reactions from the fans into play and you can see part of why Tuomas went into a pretty deep depression. In this state of mind he wrote the song "The Poet and the Pendulum" based on Edgar Allen Poes novel The Pit and the Pendulum, where a sharp blade slowly descends on a prisoner. The song deals with the pressure to write new songs, feelings of betrayal, despair and anger and the longing for death, but also with the unconditional love from his parents. After coming to a quite dramatic end, the song also offers a new beginning at the end.
The song initially should be the namegiver to the new album but eventually the band settled on "Dark Passion Play", where it's on you whether to connect the first two words or the last.
Remarkably the album was written without a specific singer in mind, in fact there is a demo version, where Marco sings all of the songs. The band then engaged Anette Olzon who performed the published version of the album and the next one "Imaginaerum". Unfortunately Anettes live performances were often overshadowed by lesser or greater illnesses and troubles with her voice. So it really took the change to their last singer, Floor Jansen, to bring the Poet and the Pendulum to the perfection it deserved when they performed it in the London Wembley Arena in December 2015.
This version with lyrics you can find here: th-cam.com/video/iEzZRMthhXU/w-d-xo.html. You will either need to stop it several times or alternatively when it gets blocked to request to unblock it. Both of these methods have worked for a lot of reactors already, so it should work for you, too :-)
Have fun!.
Weibs Volken thank you for explaining that to me. I love Edgar Allen Poe and know that story. Thanks for the heads up on the copyright issue.👍
@@popsandgrammy5904 Ah, then you know that in the story the prisoner escapes his fate. But I'm not going to spoiler the song for you, see for yourself :-)
Perfect explanation of the entirety.👌🤘
You did it! It's an incredible piece of work all around. The music, the production, every bit of it is simply amazing.👍💯
The song is about the formation of the solar system then the Earth itself. The overlaid narration is Richard Dawkins, noted English ethologist, evolutionary biologist, and author. There is a version of this same video available on TH-cam with English lyrics to help follow along.
They could have made the voice of Dawkins a bit stronger, not everyone can hear what he say. The version with lyrics help.
My favorite part is the, "We were here!"
What one of us doesn't have an existential need to be remembered. To believe the universe will continue and we will leave a mark.
I get teary eyed when Floor cries out, "As one, United!"
Kai going all Beast Mode on those drums!
Paul Doerwang I loved the drumming. He was amazing 😉
Disney is one of the inpirations for Tuomas, he loves that stuff 😎
Cornelius Antonius we adore Disney if you haven’t noticed yet. 🤣😊
Cornelius Antonius maybe next time we’re down at Disney we’ll be luck enough to meet members of Nightwish. Oh pops here by the way.
Nightwish - poet and the pendulum live at wembley. If you havn't followed the Anette periode you need to know that this song is about tuomas periode after kicking Tarja out of the band. He was hated by the fans and got depressed on the verge of suicidal. The way Floor brings the emotions into that song is so masterful. That song is so hard for tuomas to perform that they avoid doing it live. To see him sing into the sky when its performed and to see Marco and emppu supporting him at the end is just insane and emotional. I tear up every god damn time Even though ive watched it like 50 times.
This song really shows Tuomas genius in it's composition.
We all are the universe. Made manifest. To understand it's self. Hence we are the star's, planets, an all the vast in between. So from the star's, once we came. To the star's we must return.
another great reaction,. The hint of Metallica you heard there was intentional. Tuomas never thought he would be in a metal band when he was growing up, he was leaning more to folk music. From what I understand he was an exchange student in the states got to go and see a metallica concert and was hooked ever since.
Just by the way the instruments Troy plays on this are "Low Whistle", "Uilleann pipes" (Basically the Irish version of a bagpipe with a mellower tone.), and bouzouki (An 8 string Greek instrument in the mandolin family).
S. Kent Hamilton I just love when he plays those.😍
Uilleann pipes (pronounced like Gillian without the G) are a sort of bagpipe but with the big bonus that you can drink and talk when using them.. you inflate them with a bellows under the elbow. Uilleann means elbow.
You may find a problem uploading The Poet and the Pendulum. I know you told him not to talk but it may be a good video for him to pause and talk now and then to avoid copyright. Also if you want to know the words and don't choose the Wimbley live with lyrics you can hit the closed caption and the lyrics will be on the bottom for you to read along. Good luck getting that video up as a few have had some issues.
gzin33 thanks for the heads up. 👍 I’ll be mindful of that.
The dwarf guy. Hahahahaha. His name is Erno but goes by the more common name Emppu.
@Pops and Grammy If you like Nightwish and Disney there is something you should check out. Do you know the Don Rosa, comic book writer and illustrator for Disney? He has created "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck book collection". Tuomas has made an album about that. I really recommend it. TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN - A Lifetime of Adventure from that album: th-cam.com/video/JWwSVOo5K_k/w-d-xo.html
It wasn’t quite over yet. Lol
What a m.a.s.t.e.r.p.i.e.c.e !!
Ps. Your reactions are a bit...restless with the pretzels and dogs and what not. But its wonderful, nonetheless, that you like NW and do these videos 👍
Nina U. I agree the bog is annoying and was beginning to bug me when I was trying to focus on the video. I’m probably going to start locking him up somewhere when we film.👍
@@popsandgrammy5904 Good idea...and save comments till the end, if possible! Be careful of copyright issues with Poet and the Pendulum.
🤘❤️🤘 And awwww he's adorable!!! 😊
My favorite part is the "shhhhh"
I'll never get bored with this song.You are so cute together.When I look at you, I remember the TV series "Married... with Children". In a good way.
Great as fu*k!....that you liked this masterpiece 😀🤘👍
Kent-Ove Prestberg I did it was amazing 😉
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh loool... great reaction and great princess leia tshirt...
you are really cute together. in the video you have to see if it with subtitles look .. nice greetings from Germany
Grammy, I think you and Pop would like The Islander from Nightwish.
You can make pauses in the viewing, and then you can freely talk of your impressions so far - many reactors do that. That way you don't have to bottle the emotions up till the end, you don't have to worry about forgetting something and you don't have to cut off the dog frolicking there. It just gives thee a cute homey addition. Like some reactors get their kids interrupting them, and it's just heart-warming - like your grandson start here. Allow yourself to be as natural as can be, then you don't have to control blurts, chattering and so on.
The pausing also helps that your video won't get so easily taken down: it happens with some videos. The Poet & Pendulum is best to watch from the Wembley concert, some other versions have been taken down from some reactors.
Baby is back, and forhead, and hands, and feet and... all cute :)
U should Check out ANCIENT BARDS - Impious Dystopia it's a really great song. And the person Narrating this song is Richard Dawkins
Two other videos I would recommend are The Phantom of the Opera from End of an Era, which I believe was Nightwish's last performance with their original singer, Tarja Turunen. th-cam.com/video/8VgLKXD-BoY/w-d-xo.html.
The other is a duet with Tarja and Floor, Over the Hills and Far Away th-cam.com/video/57WsNYItbSU/w-d-xo.html
This could have been a great reaction video if he went into the backroom and allowed you to enjoy it...
and i hate to tell ya.. but there was 1 more spoken part during the credits
SkulI Collector oh great. I hope pops doesn’t read this or I’ll catch hell.🙄😂
Yup, a Darwin quote narrated by Dawkins.
Pop here. Great another woo hoo moment. lol
Nice reactuion. But instead of watching Korean dramas you should get the book The Greatest Show on Earth by Professor Richard Dawkins (the voice over in the video) and learn a bit about the background of the song.
Everything you ever want to know is on Wikipedia
as mentioned.. you NEED to pause Poet and the Pendulum quite often.. otherwise you wont be able to upload it..
just saw another reactor upload a badly chopped reaction.. was not watchable.. regular timed pauses and talking is key
She didn't love the song. Too long. But, just listen a couple more times, it may grab ya, That's how it got me.
You gave props to the drummer though, so thumbs up from me. 👍
i was thumb up, but in future if you are doing reaction for music please don't cut it...it kind of break that song.
Gibbetoo Gibgib pops here. We didn’t want to cut it but stupid commercials started playing. Grammy just cut out the commercials.
@@trulyevil211 all is ok. i just like this song and i like to see how people reacts to it, you got my thumb´s up.
Gibbetoo Gibgib thank u. Give Grammy a thumbs down for me. lol
@@trulyevil211 here it is.
Although NW is a symphonic metal band. you can tell that NW is influenced by Metallica and Megadeth.
I'm sorry. Had to leave your video. Every time when there is fighting / bad words. Must leave. I like positive things, everything I see or hear negative stuff, I leave. No offense.
Bla bla bla.. shhhtt... bla bla bla... shsstt
I love Nightwish but this song......I think it's shit tbh. I think the band jumped the shark with this song. It's more spinal tap than classic nightwish. I can't take old Richard narration seriously but perhaps it's because I am British. The ape noises are both very strange and extremely funny and remind my of Spinal tap.
This is child cruelty.
The kid was desparate to see Nightwish, and you took him away.
Shame on you.
SHAME!
