We're back with another Nightwish Wednesday! Today is Dead Boy's Poem and I have to say, WOW - this was another one that really stood out to me. The lyrics, the meaning.. and the emotion that I believe I could see on the stage.. What do you guys think of this one??

Hi Nikki; Years ago I read that Tuomas said in an interview that "Dead Boy's Poem" is the most self-referential and personal song he has written, and for which he would like to be remembered for posterity. As for Floor; In this performance she demonstrates, without a doubt, why she is considered one of the best singers of her generation, if not the best. Greetings from Argentina!!!😉🤘😎👍🤗👏
That interview is available on YT, though I can't immediately place it.
She really is one of the best! I can't believe I'm only now (within the last year) just learning about her and this band. It blows my mind! 😂
@@nikkireviewsYou got here, that’s all that counts.
The song is very personal to Tuomas. It's about him, and how he wants to be remembered. He's called it " the Mother of all Nightwish songs" From the 2000 3rd album, Wishmaster. When you see 'boy' or 'poet' , Tuomas is usually talking about himself.
One of the few times you don't see Emppu smiling and having fun. Troy is playing his Irish Bouzouki.
The next 2 tracks at this concert are "Elvenjig" and "Elvenpath", both songs will be in one video, and should be played together.
Yeah, I feel noticed the more serious side with Emppu. He did his part and then walked away. And I love his goofy faces and expressions so I could feel the change for this one.
Thank you for the heads up about Elevnjig and Elvenpath! 🎥
Top 5 Nightwish song 🎵 IMHO
Maybe..."Ghost Love Score"; "The Poet & The Pendulum"; "The Greatest Show On Earth"; "Dead Boy's Poem" and "Shoemaker"...???
@@alejandromoya7 GLS , TGSOE , TPATP, DBP and Song of Myself .
I can see why!
HORNS! Is there a more majestic sound than the French Horn? Oh yes, Floor's Voice.
😂 Right??
At the end; the whole argentinian crowd screamed (I was there...); 🎵FLOOR...FLOOR...FLOOR...FLOOR🎶
After this reaction/analysis...I scream;
🎵NIKKI...NIKKI...NIKKI...NIKKI🎶👏😁🤘🤗👍😎
welp, now you know why so many of us have been waiting for you to get to this song! Floor's voice, the slow build, one of the few song's where Emppu is dead serious on stage, and the story... Tuomas has stated this is his most personal song, and how he wants to be remembered after he's gone. this song also has one of my favorite lyrics of any song ever... "So much to live for, so much to die for, if only my heart had a home..." f-ing gets me every time. anyone who's ever been lonley and was longing for a connection, any connection... that line just hits too close to home. you can really tell Tuomas is giving us his truth in songs like this, and that makes it hit even harder...
Yeah! Emppu is the one I really took note of. He usually is always making silly faces and is hamming it up with the other band members but this time he was just very serious and then turned around and walked to the back when his solo was over.
And those are heartbreaking, yet beautiful lyrics.. 💔
I love watching peoples reactions to this band I only discovered them about 6 months ago and have become such a fan
They're great, aren't they?! I'm a new fan myself so we can learn together. 😂😁🎵
You welcome 🤟🏼🤟🏼
Like Floor Tuomas is also an empath but he keeps most of his feelings and thoughts inside except when creating his music here his emotions, thoughts and poetry pours out.
Yes! You've got it perfectly right 🙏
Nice job noticing how everyone gets more serious in songs like this. Even Emppu, who is almost always smiling, was dead serious during and after his solo. And I always like seeing Tuomas feeling the music, and singing along to himself.
Regarding Floor, this might be second only to "Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean" from the same concert, amongst my favorite Floor vocal performances. Love the delicate singing at the beginning, and my goodness, those belts at the end! Just insane. And yes, she's a fantastic storyteller.
Floors voice is perfect for storytelling. She has so much range and versatility and so much control she can either lead as a vocalist or become another exotic instrument filling a support role or both as needed. It can be performance art (but in a good way)😊
Background things
Swan on the screen: In Finnish mythology and folklore, the swan was the divine messenger between the living and the dead. Tuonelan Joutsen (Swan of Tuonela) carries the dead to afterlife.
Tuomas composed this when he was 22 years old. This from their book, timeline year 2000:
------------------------
Besides the choir, the album featured some other guest artists, Ike Vil of Babylon Whores contributed some deranged self-inspection for 'The Kinslayer', and 'Dead Boy's Poem' featured a child's voice. "I had an idea of a song with a young boy reciting a poem", Tuomas says. "The trouble was that no Finnish 12-year-old could pronounce English so that it sounded right, so I had to find a native speaker to do it. My mother's sister, actress Miitta Sorvali, knew (the English-Finnish director and writer) Neil Hardwick well, and my mom remembered that Neil had a son called Sam. I called him and asked him to do the poem, and Sam agreed right away. It was just funny that when I talked to this 15-year-old boy, he seemed like such a citizen of the world and was actually familiar with our band, too. Sam said he'd be free to record the poem anytime; I'd just have to give him a call. He even knew where Finnvox was and promised to meet us there."
The professionalism of young Sam Hardwick made a deep impression on Tuomas. "When he arrived at the studio, I had to ask him to wait for ten minutes or so, and he just pulled a book from his pocket and sat down to read", Tuomas says. "I gave him the poem, and he read it through a few times. We did some editing, and Sam just sat down on the studio floor and read his book, after which I asked him to read the poem a couple of more times."
"When I started talking about his reward, he wouldn't hear anything about it. He just said "It's okay, it was fun". I insisted on giving him at least a couple of hundred marks, and then he left. A very puzzling young man, but a real pro and a very nice person. He later did the beginning of 'Bless the Child', too, and once again, everything worked like a charm. 'Dead Boy's Poem' continues to be a sort of a signature song for Nightwish, and after 'Wishmaster' came out, the song was voted on our web site as the best Nightwish song ever. There's certainly something about it that defines us, and - for me at least - the poem is the absolute high point of the song. So Sam Hardwick made a big contribution to our music."
For Tuomas, 'Dead Boys Poem' is a deeply personal song. "The idea for that song came to me when I was thinking that if I die tomorrow, what kind of a message do I want to leave behind", Tuomas explains. "That song is all about apologizing, about saying thank you to those who deserve it - and likewise telling those who deserve it to fu*k off. It's kind of a testament. I had to make a song like that, just in case I happened to die tomorrow. A Finnish man rarely thanks anyone, or says he's sorry, but for me at least, it was possible through music."
"I still live at my mom and dad's, who are the best people in the world, but I've never been able to tell them what I think about them", Tuomas confesses. "Maybe if they listen to the song and read the lyrics, they'll understand that it's partly about them, too. It's also about my best friends and Nightwish, the band that has come to be a significant - if not the most significant - part of myself in the course of years. My band mates are really important to me, but it's hard for me as a Finnish man to show my feelings. I'd rather write a song like 'Dead Boy's Poem' and ask them to listen to the words, because I just can't say it out loud. It's such a personal song, and I think it has the best lyrics I've ever been able to write. Musically, it's really good, too, definetely the best song on 'Wishmaster' - maybe the best Nightwish song ever."
It had not gone unnoticed by Tarja (1st lead singer) that Tuomas expressed his feelings through music. "The melodic power of music - and the fact that music can be beautiful even at its heaviest - has always meant an awful lot to Tuomas", Tarja says. "He's able to show all his feelings in his music. I think Tuomas is very brave, because not many people can do the same. He may not look like a macho man, but when it comes to music, It's all or nothing for him."
Floor is simply unbelievable. Here's hoping Nightwish is back by 2025 (and with Marko in some capacity!)
Welcome to Toumas' most personal song. His elegy, eulogy and at the same time is declaration of intent for music and life. The child and the ocean, his preferred themes. This song was published in 2000 for their third album, Wishmaster, and loved it since then. It took this live version with Floor's staggering stage presence and interpretation for this little masterpiece to get its well deserved recognition
This is a very emotional and personal song for Tuomas. The small child's voice represents Tuomas inner child speaking.
When asked what this song was about "Tuomas has said about this song, that it's about if he were to die tomorrow, what would he want to say to everyone that he loves, and that love him..."
Notice the small boy on the screen reaching out to the flying swans on the screen. He is reaching out to implore them to take him with to the other side.
In archaeological excavations done in Karelia, a child was found and its body was laying upon a wing of a swan. In Finnish mythology and folklore, the swan was the divine messenger between the living and the dead. When a swan dropped its head below the surface, people of old times believed that it was communicating to the spirit world.
Killing swans was a terrible crime because it was as bad as murdering a human. Punishments for killing swans were severe, the usual penalty was death.
Swan song often symbolizes an artist´s last performance but for a long time all across the world all the way to the 17th century it was believed that swans only sang when they died.
A beautiful song filled with sadness from an unfulfilled destiny.
Here are the spoken words from Dead Boy's Poem.
"If you read this line
Remember not the hand that wrote it
Remember only the verse
Songmaker's cry, the one without tears
For I've given this its strength
And it has become my only strength
Comforting home, mother's lap, chance for immortality
Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew The sweet piano writing down my life"
"Teach me passion, for I fear it's gone
Show me love, hold the lorn
So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me I
'm sorry
Time will tell, this bitter farewell
I live no more to shame, nor me, nor you
And you I wish I didn't feel for you anymore"
A lonely soul
An ocean soul
Speaking of swans, one of Finland's biggest hits: The Swan Song th-cam.com/video/K38Za5Q6N4s/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Yep, and the beautiful, big white Whooper Swan is the official national bird of Finland.
She says Thank You at the end. Are you kidding me, after that spectacular performance!
I get so involved emotionally in this song. Floor is the GOAT this song is special for me in regard to Floor's vocals. 🔥NW are incredible and this performance has become one of my favs. 🔥Thanks Nikki great reaction. 🤘🔥
It really is such a beautiful song, and thank you for watching! 💛💫🎵
Floor is so good at making hers the feelings and the mood that Tuomas put in songs and lyrics (written before they worked together), they really match perfectly 😍
They really do! 💞
This is a song Tuomas wrote when he was younger . its basically his eulogy as a song .
So deep. 😕💔
Even the back-drop is symbolic as swans, in Finnish lore, transport souls to the afterlife. Well done as always Nikki. @@nikkireviews
@@brewswillis9783 Thank you 💛
Notice that this is the only music/song where EMPPU never smiles. He his Tuomas best old friend. And for shure he knows the real meaning of this song ❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Yep, Emppu is the one that really stood out to me. I don't think I've seen him so serious before.
For me personally - never sigh for better world - it's already been composed, played and told really hits hard. Beautiful reaction to the one of my favorite songs of all time.
I've never seen Emppu more serious than when he's playing the solo during this song. To me this song is even more somber that The Poet. Tuomas IS the poet, the oceanborn and the dead boy.
It is alnmost like he is playing this at Tuomas' wake
Spot on Nikki! One of my favorites for sure.....Tuomas' writing so brilliant ,the musicianship of all the guys on stage is perfection, and of course then there is Ms. Jansen. Wow, Floor! What a treasure she is to so,so many of us. My words cannot adequately express how beautiful her vocals are to me. Just exceptional in this song. I just feel happier when I hear her voice, or watch her perform.
Oh, and let's not forget the amazing pros working in the crew - video, audio, stage set up, everybody!!!
Nightwish gives credit to everyone in their dedicated production crew. btw the crew has their own versions of some Nightwish songs out as Crewish. Nightwish has supported them in doing this..
@@ecbftl Hi there! Yes I've seen the Crewish stuffed, which is very cool. Yet another reason to love the whole Nightwish team ❤️
This is one that whenever your are reminded of it you will come back and listen to againe even years from now.
You should find a better "songs explained"-site. ;-) The boy (as always) is Tuomas (or at least his younger version). He wrote this song as he was 22-ish, just after Nightwish exploded in popularity. All of a sudden he is assigned this god-like status he is not prepared for. The pressure to create new songs, even better than the last is huge. He feels his fame and responsibilities have cut short his childhood. The boy he once was, now no longer exists (hence the boy is dead). He worries how he is ever to find true love in this crazy situation. Also it is hard to stay true to yourself when you are running a multi-million operation, where many people depend on your performance for their livelihood. It would wrong to complain about any of this, because he is living his dream. He got exactly what he wished for and should be thankful for that.
my favourite nightwish song. Floor is an amazing storyteller, her voice takes you to another place🥰
Floor Jansen has some strong & powerful range and her stage presence as commanding as that requires keeps the audience attention as a rock and metal singer/frontwoman. Anyone else would not want to be the band that has to follow up that performance and equal to the power and intensity that come from their live performances
It's almost impossible to chose a favourite but this has become my absolute favourite one, no doubt.
Woooo was waiting for this one! Such a beautiful song. One of my favorites
It's so good! 💛
I first heard this song while I was in the hospital 4yrs ago, actually it was the first time I've heard of them in general. My room didn't have a TV so I went on TH-cam and the first thing that popped up was this song so I listened. I don't know what happened, but it hit me hard. My condition was very bad ( won't explain sry) but this band and there music helped me in so many ways. They to me help save my life. But this was the first song that I ever heard of them and I thank them every day in my own way.🌹
Wow is right. This is not only my favorite Nightwish song it is one of my favorite songs of all time. I have it right up there with Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd and Closer to the Heart by Rush.
Nikki...A lot of artist...like Toumas...sometimes feel very alone, and they feel like no one understands them! I was first introduced to being an artist I was 6 years old by my Great Aunt...who paid for me to take a summer long course at the local museum of art! From that time on until today...I am 66 years old now,...there are times where I still feel that no one understands me....and it hurts!
Tuomas said that This song will be played at his funeral.
Wow 👀
👏👏
😊 happy but sad great song 🎶
🤩👌💥💯 🎼
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
🤘🎵💞
The one song where Emppu does not smile while he plays, yeah, they all know what it means. This is a heart-wrenching song, yet it is one of their most beautiful. Floor is absolutely on point, holding notes at perfection. Tuomas is the key to it all, it comes from his soul, but he speaks for all of them, and they each bring a vital piece to the puzzle of the song they so brilliant craft. Remove any one of them and it.falls apart, and that is the secret of Nightwish. They know this, they do not fight for attention. They place their piece of that puzzle, and smile, and when it's all put together, they smile again and we swoon. Tuomas is very simply the greatest composer of my long lifetime. So glad that you "get" this, Nikki. Thanks for sharing with us.
This version is one of my biggest NW favorites. Especially when sung in Floor's emotional way. As you might have guessed, the song really tells what Tuomas feels and thinks. The song is really very personal to him and the rest of the band supports it nicely with their performance. Not even Emppu smiles after the guitar solo, as he normally does!
Tuomas has also sometimes said that it is difficult for him to talk about his feelings, but he is able to write them into a song and present it that way.
The original song was released in 2000 on NW's third album, and only two of those who played in the band from that period (Tuomas and Emppu) were involved in this 2018 version.
You can see big birds on the LED screen. They are related to the theme of the song, death. In old pre-Christian Finnish mythology, a large bird represented the carrier of the soul. It gave the child a soul at birth. When a person dies, a big bird picks up the soul and transports it to another world. So Tuomas has shown with his choice of LED screen that now there is a serious song to be played.
Among all the other masterpieces this band makes as ease this version keeps making my eyes teary all the time, that makes it my favorite of all and that's a big statement, Floor makes everything better and gets to transmit so accurate and empathically what Tuomas wants to express.. keep rocking and stay safe..!
Awesome reaction as always!
Thank you! ☺️💛
You absolutely nailed it Nikki, this is the most personal song according to Tuomas himself - i so love seeing how you've grown to love and really understand this band - wonderful reaction 🤘
Yes, you’re right. It’s more serious. Take a look on Emppu - normally he has a lot of fun on stage. But within this one, it’s another Emppu…. It’s a fantastic song… 👍🏆‼️
It really is! 💛
One of my many Nightwish favorites. Thank you!🤘🎸
Happy New Year lady😁 I like Flor Janssen in this song it's beautiful😊 And thank you again for sharing with us.
Thank you for watching! 🙂 And yes, Floor singing is absolutely beautiful. 💫
Happy New Year to you too!
One of my favorite Nightwish performances, and love Emppu’s solo. Keep exploring Nightwish Nikki!
Nice introspection
Thank you :)
I like your way of doing reactions. You let the music play and give a view over meaning and lyrics later on. This is respectful to the Art and composing work. Thank you for what you are and do.
Thank you so much! That's exactly my goal. I can't stand when people pause songs in person to explain something so I don't wanna do that on here. 😂 The song is the most important thing so I just can't interrupt it too much. 🎵
Hey Nikki, Floor is such a storyteller and everytime I hear this song and/or "the Poet and the Pendulum" she brings tears to my eyes. So personal to Tuomas, so well done by the whole band.
The best of the best analyzed I just watched👏👏👏👏🫶🙏
There are some songs I automatically check out in this is one of them
Good analysis and you are right, Tuomas said that this song is very personal to him. Floor's voice and her ability to feel other's emotions and transmit those emotions to the listeners, make her the greatest for me. She and her voice are a perfect instrument and Tuomas' voice.
I like the way you think about it. Thanks for your reaction!
my favorite song.
So good. 🎵
Hi Nikki. Its great to share this moments of Nightywish art with you. I dont know you...but i know people...and i can say that you are a sweet caring empath..Cheers from a finn in Sweden.
Sheer perfection from composer, band, vocalist, venue, crowd! Just as good with Tarja live!
I'll definitely have to check out some Tarja versions in the future, at least for my favorites! ☺️
@@nikkireviews Good luck with that. I've noticed that many reactors refrain from watching Tarja's Nightwish videos after a couple of attempts because many Tarja's fans are often incredibly toxic in the comments when it comes to old Nightwish videos: They constantly initiate holy wars about the events surrounding Tarja's dismissal, Tuomas' character traits and that the "real" Nightwish ceased to exist in 2005.
I'm glad you found the way and finally you can enjoy full Nightwish experience
🔥❤🔥
Journey through your emotions....sometimes 🥰
Another beautiful and insightful reaction! One of my top 5 Nightwish songs. I love how you picked up on all the aspects of this song that make it so amazing, especially Floor's ability to convey Tuomas's emotions. One of the more personal songs for Tuomas and the fans. An old song written by Tuomas when he was young. Inspired by the question what would you say if you knew you were going to die tomorrow. Tuomas has said this song was a way of thanking all those who deserve his thanks and a piss off to all those who deserve it as well. Tuomas often uses the dead boy as a symbol of the loss of childhood innocence and imagination that we experience as we grow into adulthood. When you hear dead boy or poet in his lyrics he is usually referring to himself. He also has a strong connection to the ocean and sees it as a place of peace and tranquility. A refugee from the modern world. So in this song Tuomas is saying that he no longer lives for himself or his friends but only for the music. He puts all his feelings into the music and his music is what gives his life meaning. He tries to make his life better but can never get back to the innocence of his youth. He wants to be loved but can't connect with people. He asks that they remember his music, not him, after he is gone. Thus a lonely soul, an ocean soul. Note that on the video wall behind the band the boy is holding up his arms to several swans. In Finnish mythology swans are the creatures that guide your soul to the afterlife.
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 well done Nik
Great Nightwish reaction again N. Thank you.
My no 4.
Quite right to mention TPATP - the comment Tuomas' made about this being his most personal song was many years before Poet and I feel Poet may be as personal now - or more so.
Floor tells this story far better than Tarja in my view; she has so much versatility.
When the second section starts she goes into my favourite part of her range; that low velvety sound gives me goosebumps.
Notice this is the only performance,bas far as I know, in which Emppu doesn't smile at all. Even in TPATP he does from time to time.
Here are some notes from Tuomas:
"Dead Boy's Poem' featured a child's voice. "I had an idea of a song with a young boy boy reciting reciting a poem", Tuomas says. "The trouble was that no Finnish so I had to find a
12-year-old could pronounce English so that it sounded right, so I had to find a native speaker to do it. My mother's Sister, actress Miitta Sorvali, knew [the English-Finnish director and writer] Neil Hardwick well, and my mum remembered that Neil had a son called Sam. I called him and asked him to do the poem, and Sam agreed right away.
It was just funny that when I talked to this 15-year-old boy he seemed like such a citizen of the worldand was actually familiar with our band too. Sam said he'd be free to record the poem anytime; I'd just have to give him a call.
He even knew where Finnvox was and promised to meet us there. The professionalism of young Sam Hardwick made a deep impression on Tuomas.
"When he arrived at the studio, had to ask him
to wait for ten minutes or so and he just pulled a book from his pocket and sat down to read".
Tuomas says, " I gave him the poem, and he read it through a few times. We did some editing and Sam just sat down on the studio floor and read his book, after which I asked him to read the poem a couple of more times."
Tuomas Holopainen olet paras,kaunis laulu. Kiitos.
From what I gather, there r a lot of sad poems and folklore in Finland... comes w/ having so little sunlight 😁 Tuomas (keyboards) wrote this for the 'Wishmaster' album in 2000 when Tarja was the singer... In some way, he related to a child who passed away early in life because he felt (especially after the 'Wishmaster' album) that he had 'lost his innocence'... and was now an adult at the mercy of the music industry and the haters out there... Every artist/ songwriter who has risen to fame has had to contend w/ the pitfalls of fame and stardom...
It's easy when no one knows who u are and u can go about your business casually... It's another when u have to watch yourself in public or anything u say on social media or the press.
Dave Grohl of Nirvana recalled that he wasn't prepared for the change that was thrust on them when the band became famous when he was only 21... (The late) George Harrison of The Beatles hated the fame because he was a gentle, sensitive soul and the crush of public scrutiny and demand ended up making him jaded and he walked away from the music business by 1992 and passed away in 2001 from cancer.
But most notably... Roger Waters (bass/ vocals) of Pink Floyd absolutely hated the peak years of the band... he would literally berate the audience from the stage if they made too much noise at their concerts in the 70's... He refused to tour w/ Pink Floyd after 1981 and left the band by 1984.
6:17 No, it's not three guitars. There's a guitar (Emppu), a bass (Marko) and a bouzouki (Troy).
Ohh! Okay, I had to go back and watch that closer lol. 🧐
Nikki go back to the Wembley concert. The song Seven Days to the Wolves Troy is playing the bouzouki in the into part. That is the best example that immediately comes to my mind where you can hear the different tone between a guitar and a bouzouki.
@@seattanf2348 In fact, the best way to find out what bouzouki sounds like is to type "bouzouki" in the search bar here on TH-cam. ;)
Marko is playing both guitar (bottom neck) and bass (top neck) at different times during the song.
@@okiejohn3925 Are you really that dumb or are you just pretending? My comment starts with a timestamp for a reason: At the moment when Nikki asks about 3 guitars, Marko is playing the bass.
But you need emotions. Women can't live without them.
🎼🎼👍🇳🇱🤘🎶🎶🎤🎸💕👏
Well explained by your commentators, but might I underline these points and the dept of Tuomas' English knowledge to use little known pieces of Shakespeare appropriately.
This is what Tuomas said about this song: "This is the most personal song I’ve ever written. My testimony for the whole world. With this song I want to apologise everyone who deserves my apology. It also makes an “I don’t care” -statement to them who deserve it. The song is also about what Nightwish means and has meant to me. It’s all, without it I’m dead. I have created it and it has created me. When I pass away, this song’s lyrics are of what I wish to be remembered. An Ocean Soul".
It might help you to know Tuomas uses several pseudonyms to refer to himself in various Nightwish songs which he writes from experiences or imagination, he says he is a man with a boy's heart and you will see that directly in places, here for instance, or elsewhere as "one with a pure heart", a line Floor sings in a high head voice as you might hear from an excited small boy.
Of course, you hear the narration spoken by a young boy. . . . . . .
He will also use poet, dreamer, writer/song writer or ocean soul - Tuomas has an affinity for the ocean, he was studying to be a marine biologist.
As has been correctly stated, this song is his self-written obituary/epitaph, he is the dead boy and appears in the back drop imploring the swans which in Finnish traditions carry you off to the afterlife.
There's two Shakespeare quotes in this song almost verbatim from Sonnet 71 and 72, Sonnet 71 starts, "No longer mourn for me when I am dead" and Tuomas used the line " Nay, if you read this line, remember not the hand that writ it"; and Sonnet 72, "And live no more to shame nor me nor you."
It is the only time too you will see a very serious Emppu, not his usual joking and happy self; he knows exactly what this song means.
Hold your knickers up, Floor fanatics...as good as this was, this song is better with Tarja (and Jukka!), just check it on From Wishes To Eternity
