    Floor on stage is just amazing, you can't take your eyes of her. Her stage presence is something else. ...and Tuomas is a poet, not just a writer.

    An interviewer once asked Tuomas the meaning of a song. His reply was "It means whatever you need it to". This is the magic of Nightwish. The songs touch each of us in different ways, but the meaning always seems to be very personal, as if they were written for you.

    R.I.P Ann Waychoff mother of the Nightwish Army.
    June 28th, 2020 .
    Ann was a big Nightwish Fan.
    And every new person who listened to NW, she went through a little chat.
    And gave them some info about NW.
    This was her favorite song.
    And this song belongs to her.
    I like very much that Gabriel have continue Ann s work.... so her heritage is still here.

    Favorite song of the late Ann Waychoff, Mother of the Nightwish Army.
    Inspired by the 52 chapter ,19th century poem of the same name by Walt Whitman. The studio version, at the end, has a spoken poem section, written by Tuomas in an ode to the original. The word to that are the words you see on the big screen behind the band.
    Song #14 of 15 at Wacken, right after Ghost Love Score. An Anette era song from the Imaginaerum album, which this tour was for.
    Dead Boy's Poem is the other song you are thinking of.

    This song is for You Ann (mother of Nightwish Army) R.I.P 🤘😔🤘
    Your flame and passion lives on in Us 🤘🔥🤘.
    Ann Waychoff was known by many as the Nightwish Mom. She would give comments to people who reacted to Nightwish videos to try and help the reactors understand and she would tirelessly exchange comments with people who wanted to know more. She also communicated privately with a large number of fans and reactors (we know now from the tributes.). th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=ann+waychoff will show how many knew her and how many liked her enough to spend hours making videos about her/dedicated to her.
    For me this song has some serious Pantera vibes 🤘🔥🤘. Pure fire and great song!!!
    And the Poem:
    I see a slow, simple youngster by a busy street, with a begging bowl in his shaking hand.
    Trying to smile but hurting infinitely. Nobody notices.
    I do, but walk by.
    An old man gets naked and kisses a model-doll in his attic.
    It’s half-light and he’s in tears.
    When he finally comes his eyes are cascading.
    I see a beaten dog in a pungent alley. He tries to bite me.
    All pride has left his wild drooling eyes.
    I wish I had my leg to spare.
    A mother visits her son, smiles to him through the bars.
    She’s never loved him more.
    An obese girl enters an elevator with me.
    All dressed up fancy, a green butterfly on her neck.
    Terribly sweet perfume deafens me.
    She’s going to dinner alone.
    That makes her even more beautiful.
    I see a model’s face on a brick wall.
    A statue of porcelain perfection beside a violent city kill.
    A city that worships flesh.
    The 1st thing I ever heard was a wandering man telling his story
    It was you, the grass under my bare feet
    The campfire in the dead of the night
    The heavenly black of sky and sea
    It was us
    Roaming the rainy roads, combing the gilded beaches
    Waking up to a new gallery of wonders every morn
    Bathing in places no-one’s seen before
    Shipwrecked on some matt-painted island
    Clad in nothing but the surf - beauty’s finest robe
    Beyond all mortality we are, swinging in the breath of nature
    In early air of the dawn of life
    A sight to silence the heavens
    I want to travel where life travels, following its permanent lead
    Where the air tastes like snow music
    Where grass smells like fresh-born Eden
    I would pass no man, no stranger, no tragedy or rapture
    I would bathe in a world of sensation
    Love, Goodness, and Simplicity
    ( While violated and imprisoned by technology )
    The thought of my family’s graves was the only moment I used to experience true love
    That love remains infinite, as I’ll never be the man my father is
    How can you “just be yourself” when you don’t know who you are?
    Stop saying “I know how you feel”
    How could anyone know how another feels?
    Who am I to judge a priest, beggar, whore, politician, wrongdoer?
    I am, you are, all of them already
    Dear child, stop working, go play
    Forget every rule
    There’s no fear in a dream
    “Is there a village inside this snowflake?”
    a child asked me “What’s the color of our lullaby?”
    I’ve never been so close to truth as then
    I touched its silver lining
    Death is the winner in any war
    Nothing noble in dying for your religion
    For your country
    For ideology, for faith
    For another man, yes
    Paper is dead without words
    Ink idle without a poem
    All the world dead without stories
    Without love and disarming beauty
    Careless realism costs souls
    Ever seen the Lord smile?
    All the care for the world made Beautiful a sad man?
    Why do we still carry a device of torture around our necks?
    Oh, how rotten your pre-apocalypse is
    All you bible-black fools living over nightmare ground
    I see all those empty cradles and wonder
    If man will ever change
    I, too, wish to be a decent manboy but all I am
    Is smoke and mirrors
    Still given everything, may I be deserving
    And there forever remains that change from G to Em
    NWSU 🤘😎🤘.

    If you're in need of Nightwish content to watch on your own, but are afraid of what to see... You can watch the documentary "Please, learn the setlist in 48 hours". It will show how the band dealt with Anette Olsen's absence due to late pregnancy and Floor's journey to learn the songs in time for the following show.
    It's on TH-cam and whenever they speak Finnish, it's properly subbed.

    RIP Ann Waychoff - mother of the Nightwish Army. My personal favorite from the Wacken show -Dark, mysterious, crunchy, and Floor summons fire! You are spot on about Tuomas’s lyrics. “Sometimes the within is piano black”. You can deep dive into this one and have something very different than someone else. I hope Dead Boys Poem, (mentioned in this song) from Buenos Aires is coming soon. (Floor’s costume is even better there.). Think you both will love that one. A bit of a tear-jerker, one of Tuomas’s most personal compositions. Love you two together, and the channel. Keep exploring Nightwish!

    The lyrics are based on Walt Whitman's poem of the same name. In the studio version, at the end of the song, Tuomas recites some of his own poetry where he purposely imitates Whitman's style.

    A tremendous piece of music. As I have stated on another reaction video, we sadly will not be able to hear Nightwish perform this song this way anymore. Marco leaving the band has left an incredible void in the music of Nightwish. Marco was the secret weapon of the band who made them spectacular. Floor no doubt is one of the greatest vocalists ever. No other group could match their triple theat of voice, composition and instrumentation. I know Marco had good reasons for leaving for himself and his family but he is sorely missed.

    It is A Tribute to the poem in 52 chapters, One for every week of the year, " Song of myself " by Walt Whitman 1819-1892.(one of the co-founders of US poetry). The 7th line of the song is ""Of mermaids, of Whitman's and the Ride""". The extended official studio version of this song has, at the end, a poem as a tribute to Whitman made by Tuomas, the keyboard player and the mastermind of nightwish. These lines you can also see fast flahing on the ledscreen of the video you just saw.
    Bucle up, it goes very deep.

    Two of the best IMO for watching Floor’s stage presence are the Tampa FL performance of Sahara and the Mexico City performance of Alpenglow. In both videos they keep the cameras a lot more on Floor and the band rather than hopping around on the audience mugging for the video. And you get to really appreciate just how much of their individual personalities each band member puts into a Nightwish show.

    Imaginaerum is a concept album and Song of Myself comes at the end, so it IS referencing earlier songs - "she dreams of story time (Storytime) and the river ghosts (Ghost River), of mermaids (Turn Loose the Mermaids), of Whitman's and the ride (Last Ride of the Day), raving harlequins and gigantic toys (Scaretale)." Plus the recurring self-referential "dead boy" reference...

    On the album Imaginaerum - Song of Myself is divided in parts - Part 6 called Love is not really suitable for a concert as the music slows and the voices become speech like, but has wonderful lyrics - do not cheat yourself for these. here is a small part of the poem:
    An obese girl enters an elevator with me
    All dressed up fancy
    A green butterfly on her neck
    Terribly sweet perfume deafens me
    She's going to dinner alone
    That makes her even more beautiful

    This is the next to the last song of the concert. They mention Storytime and Ghost River (that I remember off the top of my head). It also references Walt Whitman (who wrote a poem called "Song of Myself"). Ironically, when the song was recorded with Anette Olzon, I seem to remember it having a different name. When the album was rerecorded with Floor Jansen, it was renamed.

    • @DeepeningTheListening
      @DeepeningTheListening ปีที่แล้ว

      It has always been called Song of Myself but on the album it has chapters with different names, probably this is what you remember. There is no rerecorded album with Floor only live versions.

    @seattanf2348 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You were correct to pick up on references to other songs. The Imaginarium album was written as a story. Storytime was the 2nd song from the album and sets the tone for the rest of the album. Song of Myself is the final or conclusion of the story. The concert was part of the Imaginarium tour. The name of the DVD for this video is Showtime Storytime.

    The deeper you go into the night which catalog you will realize that everything that happens on stage and everything they do serves a purpose......Tuomas it's just completely on another level when it comes to what he does..... A reactor once said that nightwish does a lot of tension and release you were kind of calling it you know light into heavy and they do this roller coaster up and down and that's just I think it's to keep you interested and to keep you thinking........ Their music truly is like a great play or even a great movie they have to keep you interested they have to keep you wanting more and they have to make you think............ I think they've accomplished all of those.

    to be exact, its never a change of pace in this song, its almost never a change of pace in Nightwish songs. Usually what is perceived as a change in pace is the change in rythm ,at the same pace. For instance going half tempo, or from a 4/4 to 7/8 or whatever time change or combo , while the "speed" of the clicktrack remains the same;)

    Hello beautiful girls
    The tour it's called "IMAGINERIUM" maybe that's why feel like in the fairy tail
    Talking about Floor, you don't know how great human being she is, her humble and love for her fans it's just huge you are in the way to discover it, LOVE FROM NIGHTWISH ARMY COSTA RICA DIVISION 🤘💀🇨🇷

    You guys are really fun to watch, also what a great relationship between mother & daughter; cant wait for the Halloween costume 🤘🐺; once you have done the list for Wacken 2013 you should stream the full live concert; its another energy booster to watch the concert in one piece. 'Song Of Myself' was the fav song of Ann Wachoff, a legend in the Nightwish Army.
    RIP Ann Wachoff

    This was so good. For many of us, this is their Zenith… or one of the 30, or 40. 😊. Anyway, this is the performance that, for me, really settled me to the idea that Nightwish with Floor is the best band on the planet. There are lots of great musicians. But these folks are simply amazing.

    HI sisters. Floor and Marco a vocal match made in heaven! Great tempo changes and rifts. Makes you want to head-bang! My favourite song too. Great reaction delving into the construction of the performance. Stay safe.

    I love everything in this song. I love the melody, I love the lyrics, I love the rhythm and I just love Jukka's drumming and his style, that double kicking 😎🥁 And I have copied his style, I love to wear bandana ❤ Drumming is heart beat of music and Jukka does that perfectly.

    Great reaction - they KILL on this song, just a crushing breakdown which is awesome. Regarding the costume - WAIT until you see the Buenos Aires concert before ordering your materials!!! Floor’s outfit on that tour was mind-blowingly awesome 🤘🤘

    Phenomenal! Started with the tempo right from the start! That tempo with the guitar along with the drums was ear candy. Floor, as always, sounded incredible. Her voice grounds the totality of the whole production. The crowd is completely involved with crowd surfing no less.

  • @gregjetnikoff7124

    His songs are not about love and breakups... Romanticide is about breakup. Everdream is a love song. It's just when Toumas does it , it about real love and breakup, not just sweet and nice.

    Great reaction to a killer song. I have many different favorite Nightwish songs, depending on my mood, but this one always makes the top 10.
    This song also is the remembrance of Ann Waychoff, it was her favorite song.

    This song included in the 'Imaginaerum'.. 'Imaginaerum' is a Fantasy Movie Album (Film), very special album.. That's why you heard another song title in a song, fully circle album..

  • @ristohyvarinen8448
    @ristohyvarinen8448 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Hi, it's so nice to see your enthusiastic reaction to Nightwish songs. Well done. You mentioned something about the lyrics. It's allright to check out the lyrics before your reaction. No one's to blame you for that. Nightwish songs have a lot of poetic and deeper meanings. The songs would open to you more when you react to them. Tuomas Holopainen has said, there is always a story first and the music comes to that story. In this video he is telling how the songs are born. See you, take care.

  • @Mik_S
    @Mik_S ปีที่แล้ว +1

    There are several references to other tracks from the Imaginaerum album and a few others in the lyrics too, I think that is all but there may be more.
    "The nightingale is still locked in the cage" (Escapist)
    "She dreams of storytime and the river ghosts" (Storytime + Ghost River)
    "Of mermaids, of Whitman's and the Ride" (Turn loose the Mermaids, Song of Myself + Last ride of the day)
    "Raving harlequins, gigantic toys" (Scaretale)
    "Is the same old Dead Boy's song" (Dead boy's Poem or maybe even Poet and the Pendulum - Dead boy refers to Tuomas)

  • @dieseldog00
    @dieseldog00 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yes you must React to the show opener "Dark Chest Of Wonders". Wacken was Floor's first big concert as Nightwish Frontwoman(82,000 people)and she came out smokin' hot!!! Very up-tempo song as you might expect. Gotta get that massive crowd MOVING!!!

  • @bobsuisse2

    The next NW song will be your next favorite one, always 😍. I hope you will continue your journey and discover the 2nd unbelievable Symphonic Metal Band next to Nightwish - EPICA. Perfect one to start is EPICA feat. Floor (!) "SanctaTerra" live Retrospect. You will be blown away completly. 😉

  • @terric703
    @terric703 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I knew you'd like this. Like many NW songs, every twist and turn takes you to a better place.
    (Jukka plays this 4/4 sounding rhythm over a 7/4 time signature and keeps if feeling natural.)

    Love your reactions. You can fangirl Jukka as much as you like, he is my all time favorite drummer too 😅 I just want to say, that you may want to use either official videos, or the ones on my channel to ensure the best possible versions. There are a lot of bad versions of this concert in YT, some are slowed down and some sound even bit like "chipmunk".

    • @NightwishArena
      @NightwishArena ปีที่แล้ว +2

      And if you really want the best possible sound and image quality, I did remastered and AI enhanced version with my friend ShaunintoN. It can be found at Remastercide channel (haven't uploaded that on my channel yet): th-cam.com/play/PLpxWcYEDYKwmEAKVjrJ8KXEWSPbI-QPtT.html

    This is what they do to us...sending us on a journey of emotions. Brilliant !! Sometimes emotions we've never felt before.
    Also, I really think you girls are doing the reactions correctly. Not having captions on. They take away from the immersion in the performance.
    Read them after or before. Whatever suits you.
    Much Love to You both and Ukraine

    Great reaction! This is an intense song and one of my favorites. You mentioned the depth of Tuomas' lyrics. They are amazing, as are his compositions. The studio version of this one is followed by a lengthy and beautiful spoken word piece, some of the phrases of which are flashing on the screen behind the band in this video. Many thanks!

    What a great reaction 😊
    I was surprised that Mom enjoyed this as much as she did. Mind you, I think she was a little enamoured with Marko when he started to sing 😂
    I think it is funny to remember that the last time we heard Floor she was in an intimate setting singing Phantom of the Opera, and here she is in the next song at a festival singing a heavy metal song
    The next song on the list couldn't be more different than this one. "I Want My Tears Back" is a completely different vibe, Floor spends a lot of time dancing to that one 😁
    You will meet Troy who is the 6th band member you haven't met yet, also you will meet Kai who is Yukka's friend and mentor. Kai took over as drummer when Yukka stopped playing
    Oh, and Floor's outfit is a little more 'risque' I think...
