#reaction #nightwish #storytime #omg - Розваги
I’m a southern gal, too, and just happened upon this band a year ago when I was surfing UTube for covers of Phantom of the Opera.
Just like you, I was blown away by their talent - I have opened my eyes to European metal, and it is an amazing ride.
I am still feeding on Nightwish music almost every day - at home, in the car, at the gym - it gives me energy when I need it most.
Luv your genuine reactions - be yourself & enjoy 🤟
Loved your comment. As a SoCal boy I can say, amazing things happen when we break out of the "American manufactured mind" and explore what the rest of the world has to offer. Your words warmed my heart;
Hi Barbara,
Floor is from the Netherlands, so am i, but most Dutch people only know her since her performence in "Beste zangers"
and totally missed Nightwish. Same as you i discovered them about a year ago also after looking for her Phantom performance. Since then also almost every day. Especially the reaction video's.
Greetings from the Netherlands
@@chadbennett7873 Amin to that ! Greetings from Bulgaria :)
@@vasilnanev-peltekov1786 Hello from California, my friend!! Nothing but good things to you!
@@chadbennett7873 Same to you :)
Dont worry about comparing Any Lee and Evanessence to Floor and Nightwish. Its the closest thing to it that we have in the states sadly. And dont stress the pronounciation of the band members names. Finnish is hard. We love your reactions because it allows us to expirience them through your eyes which makes it new again. This was a gheat reaction and i loved it.
I agree. We Finns are not too picky about pronouncing in general, and most of us don't care how our names are said. Amy Lee is also incredible artist, and it embarrasses me when these fellow fans are so disrespectful. Especially comments like "can't hold a candle"...no shit, she wouldn't hold a candle. I'm sure they would hold that candle together. It hasn't been easy for either of them, and they are both lovely wonderful human beings.
@@NightwishArena i concur.i have to smh at some people.when you here something for the 1st time your natural reaction is to compare it to something you heard before its human nature
I came to the comments to post something along these lines but you beat me to it! If Evanescence is the one's only point of reference it should not be taken badly... It's just what it is. And about her... her eyes can REALLY speak! 🤘
I concur 💯🤘😊👍💙🇫🇮
Exactly. Amy Lee is the ONLY person that most ppl in US can relate to the first part of GLS. No one singing in ethereal head voice with metal music other than her that would get any air play on US radio. Don’t ever apologize for being from the South…🤘
I felt the same way when i first heard the band. I am 77 years old and have seen pretty much ever genre of music. Nothing compares to the versatility of nightwish.
I concur and I'm nearly 77 !!
A youngster here at 72. I never would have imagined that I would fall in love with symphonic metal ... and a singer named Floor Jansen. But, heh, you can teach an old dog. I am really enjoying experiencing the NW songs along with Debbie.
apparently you never heard of Band-Maid.
@@ziggyphoto Heard them but prefer the more mature Nightwish. BTW I am 70.
Dont worry about some of our over sensetive army members they mean well and are exremely passionate. Its o.k. i once lived under a rock until i discovered Nightwish. Our army are world wide Gabriel is our General. Im almost 49 and is also an eighties kid. The age of our army varies from small kids to older senior citizens so your part of a huge family. And we love having you here. And i still love Heart great group. Floor's cover of Alone definately worth a look. Thank you
Yes, Floor has done a lot of cover songs during the Pandemic on her UA-cam channel.
I'm not a huge fan of covers. Some are better than others. while i prefer Heart's for nostalgia, I will say yes Floor's was awesome. 🙂
Bang-a-rang!
I couldn't agree more my friend. Im in my 60s and just in the last couple of years I discovered NIGHTWISH some of the best music I've heard in 40yrs. My wife and I saw NIGHTWISH live at the NEC BIRMINGHAM IN NOVEMBER LAST no words can explain the experience.
@@tompickles9798 Okay, I am green with envy. I just hope one day I too can enjoy them live. It is sad tho, that I only discovered Nightwish about a year ago when Marko and Jukka (drums) were still members and I will never get to see that version of the band.
Don’t worry about the comparison to Amy Lee. Many American reactors make that comparison, as that is seemingly one of the most similar vocalists they are familiar with. However, you will find that Floor is much more versatile. The breadth and depth of her vocal ability is incredible.
and it is allways just the first 2 verses😂😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥
I think the connection comes less from comparing the vocalists and their skills and more from the overall sound of metal mixed with a softer female voice, something that isn't heard much in American metal. Definitely not worth stressing about or hating on anyone for. I can see the connection, too and I don't listen to Evanescence and LOVE Nightwish.
No worries, we are just happy to have another one in the family. Welcome.
We keep on smiling in Europa on the Evanescence comparison.
People are a little too sensitive these days. There is nothing wrong at all with comparing them to Evanescence. They are both great in their own ways and have that prog rock symphonic metal sound with an outstanding female vocalist that rocks!
You're not saying "Oh, they're EXACTLY alike". No, you're making a perfectly valid comparison. I agree with you.
People HAVE to compare as if there HAS to be a "winner" here. No. Just relax and enjoy all the good things of life. Nightwish and Evanescence are 2 of them.
To all those people that feel like you have the right to get ugly with such an enjoyable genuinely authentic reactor who is a beautiful lady, keep living. One day you'll have a *real* problem.
One thing I'm gonna say is there's no need to apologize for anything. You are who you are and you know what you know and we like you just like that. Part of the magic of life is discovering and learning about new things, even if those things have been around for a while, so again don't feel bad for not knowing about the greatest band in the whole world. You do now so buckle up and enjoy the ride into the absolute best rabbit hole ever.
Thank you so much.
I concur.
I concur.
I concur!
Joining Eric's regiment...; I concur...☺️
Please don’t forget to breathe! Floor has the lungs of a deep sea diver and if you try to breathe when she does, you could easily pass out!
NightWish Army Wisconsin Chapter here. When you discover NightWish and Floor Jansen, everything else seems mediocre. I have never heard a band as AMAZING as this group of 6 musicians. Like I said, GREATEST band EVER! ❤
Instant subscriber here. You feel everything at maximum intensity - which is a positive fact, but please protect your heart (if you have a treatment) for your next reactions to Nightwish
I believe that nothing is accidental in life, and the fact that you met their music for the first time now, is definitely not an accident.
All the best, from Romania!
PS: I'm 55 yo :)
❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much! I really do have to remember to breathe or I’ll pass out. The music, her voice, it’s beautifully overwhelming and I felt it all. I’m amazed and breathing! 🥰
Salut Gabi, sper ca ai fost la concert cand au venit la noi :)
@@darthsaren6519 Da, a fost o seara de 1 august frumoasa :) Cred ca eram printre cei mai batrani de acolo. M-am bucurat sa vad atatia tineri care asculta Nightwish laolalta.
@@gabriel.bardac neah eram si eu pe acolo man. Unul de 43 :)
Oh wow I've seen hundreds if not thousand reaction videos with Nightwish and now I've have to start to believe that there is actually something special with Nightwish music... watching your reaction is one of the very best to explain it. Thanks and enjoy the journey.
I don’t have the words to even explain it. Truly astonishing.
Nightwish is a band that really stirs up the emotions, and that comes from the passionate band members who are in it for the pure joy of the music. There are no egos in this band, they are all a family and you can tell how much fun they have from the smiles (and things like the guitarist Emppu touching everyone during the performances and his joyful clowning around). They share that energy and love back and forth with their audiences and you can see that special connection between them and the fans. And of course that incredible music is the brain child of their songwriting genius Tuomas, who pens most of those poetic lyrics and passionate music. I encourage you to continue to explore Nightwish, it is quite a rewarding journey because every song holds something special and unexpected (some are real head bangers, some are so beautiful they will literally bring tears, some make you want to dance a jig) . A few of my suggestions would include these from some different concerts on UA-cam: 1) from the Wacken concert: Romanticide, Ever Dream, Amaranth, and The Last Ride Of The Day; 2) from Live at Wembley: My Walden, 7 Days To The Wolves, Yours Is An Empty Hope, Nemo, and While Your Lips Are Still Red; 3) from live at Tampere: Sleeping Sun and The Islander; 4) from Live at Buenos Aires 2018: I Want My Tears Back, Elan, and Dead Boy's Poem. There are of course many, many more but those are some of my own favorites. Although Nightwish was formerly fronted by two very talented ladies, I personally much prefer Floor and the band's performances after she joined in late 2012.
don't forget Hellfest 2022 for the current lineup and style, it's as excellent as ever. though hellfest is not as "produced" as these dvd recordings, plus Arte Concert is not very good about copyrights.
You're missing out on a lot if you don't explore the band's past performances.
Song Of Myself is a must from the Wacken show. Anne Wyclef's favorite.
If you think they're good on a recording whether it's just audio or a video I can assure you that being there in person is a whole different thing, you don't just hear Floor's last note from Ghost Love Score you FEEL it, it's a whole body experience. I was at Wembley in November last year when they performed live and Floor put on a performance that just left those in attendance awe struck, I looked at my mate of over 25 years and could only shake my head in utter disbelief at what I was experiencing.songs such as "Shoemaker" and "how's the heart" (acoustic) have to be heard in person to truly grasp the power in Floor's voice.
I can’t even imagine what it’s like in person! Wow. I’m so glad you both got to experience that.
Agreed… saw them in Lowell Massachusetts this past May and was 2nd row and her voice is unparalleled live …as is her stage presence. You can’t take your eyes off her. The band is also the absolute tightest I’ve ever seen musicianship wise as well. Can’t wait to see them again.
Yupp, that's how Nightwish works. :-) the Guy with the Guitar, smiling, is Emppu. And Floor, turning her head around, it's called a Windmill
Your reaction is heart warming, you don't need to articulate with big words, your eyes and face say it all. Carry on reacting to this GOAT group and follow Gabriel's list, each song will be your favourite as you listen to it and will change your view of composition, lyrics and performances forever.
their performances are out of this world. If you want to check out some songs, Nightwish is 1000 times better live than their studio videos.
This is mainly because Floor is highly sensitive and you just feel with her. She doesn't just perform a song, she IS the song. Greetings from Belgium🤟🏻🤟🏻🎶🎶
Welcome to the Nightwish Army enjoy!!!!!
The song "Ever Dream" will knock your socks off even more. Its one of my favorites. Then again any new song I hear always becomes my favorite🤭💕🤘😎
NIghtwish with Floor is such an amazing sound. Floor has this impressive ability to convey such emotion in her singing, that she grabs you much more tightly than the vast majority of singers. And her personality comes across so strong as a wonderful human that it makes it so easy for us to fall in love with her.
we welcome You to Nightwish Army, we love You, feel free, feel loved
Perfect reaction from you 👍
This song is about never forgetting to use your imagination - and that's precisely what happend to you. Floor grabbed you and made you feel the story in your head / imagination - you became a part of the story, so to speak. You experienced the journey.
And that's exactly what it's all about - you experience every story they tell you 👍.
And yes - it's not easy or even possible to switch between opera techniques, belting, head voice etc etc - in the same sentence. But Floor doesn't care - she just do it to to give you the ultimate experience of each song. Her vocal range, her breath and voice techniques are beyond anything you have ever seen before - and she even developes her own techniques, to get the perfect emotion in the voice.
All Nightwish songs are emotions - even the tribute songs like Shoemaker, will blow your mind in emotion.
And you are the perfect Nightwish Army trooper - you feel and experience the stories, and can't hide it - perfect 👍
And don't worry about your heart condition - Nightwish have the perfect song for that 'How is the Heart ♥' - but we will get there later on.. 😉 (just kidding - that song is about caring, and asking how are you really feeling inside).
Greetings from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍 💪 🤘 🤘 🤘

If NIghtwish does not alter your life, your ability to enjoy, if they don't broaden you vistas...
Nightwish is like hanging with Alice and taking the little black pill labeled "Metal".
Each song draws me 'down the rabbithole', again and again.
There really is magic in this music.
Written as a story, written as a warning, written as a carrot, written as a lesson shrouded in metal sung by sirens and animals in the dark.
The musicianship is immaculate. The sound production (this is LIVE) is astounding.
And the crowd... that Nightwish Army on the field.... Faces full of joy and energy and hope and desire. And if you fell in that crowd, there'd be a hundred, a thousand hands lifting you back up. This is not an angry crowd. There's no "we're better than you" attitudes out there. In a Nightwish crowd, you are amongst friends.
Well said my friend 🤗
liked that 🐺🤘
So glad you did this reaction within 24 hours of me viewing your GLS reaction. I looked for more and realized this one was posted just 20 minutes ago. I’m 65 and was a heavy metal/hard rock follower for 50 years but a few months ago that all changed. Realize that floor had JUST started with Nightwish and you caught that look Empuu the guitarist gave to Floor when he realized this is the best singer Nightwish ever had and the best choice they could have made. Floor had only 48 hours to learn the setlist and Seattle Washington was their first gig with her earlier that year. You will find that every consecutive song you hear will become your new favorite. Keep on the Wacken 2013 performances and you won’t be disappoint. BTW you look fantastic and don’t be ashamed to let the tears of joy flow. Looking forward to your next video, tomorrow! (Everdream was Floor’s biggest challenge, and no one comes close to what she can do in that song and you’ll see why). There were 85000 spectators, arms up in unison, that would agree they witnessed exquisite perfection that was mesmerizingly beautiful that night.
One of the most sincere, honest and charming reactions I've seen for a long time
Hello @TheQuestionQueens, NW Army Italian Division here. I am very happy that you enjoyed your second Nightwish workout as much as I enjoyed your heartfelt and emotional reaction to this song. No worries if someone hasn't been polite to you, he surely isn't really in the Nightwish Army. Nightwish Army is a wonderful polite and passionate family that comes from all over the world, a peaceful family open to all regardless of race, religion or anything else. Your journey in the Nightwish world has just begun and you still have no idea how many beautiful surprises you will encounter. Best regards from Italy!
Great cardio, you'll have a stronger body and soul after the journey. You nailed it, Floor is a HSP (High Sensitive Person) and feels every song she performs which she naturally projects to the audience. A lot of us feel the same empathy she projects and makes many of us tear up in emotions even after 100's of listenings and many years of enjoying their music. Follow Gabriel's list and you'll be in for a real nice ride. Buckle up Alice, the rabbit hole runs deep! Keep it up !!
I couldn't havs said it better 💜 I know Nightwish for more than 20 years now and when I hear them, almost every song makes me tear up because of the amount of emotion they cause (especially Sahara and Dead boy's poem). Some reactions are so heartwarming and fun to watch, because you can tune in to the emotions
🥰🥰🥰🤘🤘🤘🤘
Look at the band, there faces! They are happy on stage! They do What they love!
Nightwish, one of the biggest and best super groups that most Americans have never heard of. Makes you think about the music industry there.
Greatest voice of the generation? No, the century! And congratulations on another of what Nightwish fans lovingly refer to as a "Floorgasm" here's to many more 👍😉❤
Hello fellow southerner from the USA 😁. I'm a decade older than you, and 3+ years after discovering Nightwish, I'm still having trouble containing my astonishment. As a good ol' fashioned southern girl, you're probably supposed to be listening to country music? But you are in for an incredible ride if you stay on this train. This music is on another level. And very few in the USA have ever experienced it. Maybe you can spread the word? And please remember that like all music, nothing happens until someone creates this magic. For Nightwish that would be Tuomas Holopainen (keyboard player). He writes 90+% of Nightwish's music. True living genius. And Floor? Well, she's Floor Jansen. 😃
You are doing an amazing job. Nightwish and Floor have changed my whole idea of what music should and could be.
Your authenticity rocks, don't apologize for anything. Symphonic metal is tragically not so common in the U.S. and Evanescence is not an uncommon comparison. There are other great bands in this genre, but Nightwish is...well, I'm glad Nightwish affects you the way it does! Keep reactin'! 👍
Yes glad you continued the journey. The keyboardist Tuomas is a flipping musical genius and has built his music in such deep layers that you’re finally picking up. And that’s the symphonic elements to the songs. The layers are strings horns wind instruments etc and yes choir. Hopefully now the 2nd song into the journey you should replay them to find more and more of the layers. To really appreciate how complex Tuomas’s music is. No bands in North America will ever compare. And is very sad to know Nightwish won’t be air played in our pathetic music bubble. If they did, kiss all that R&B, Rap Contry and yes the Pop. Yes Nightwish is categorized as Symphonic Metal but also does have a catalog of less of pure metal songs. It is truely amazing this band is huge worldwide but not really know around here in 🇺🇸🇨🇦
Enjoy the rabbit hole ride!
As you are American it is nothing strange to compare to Amy Lee. She also has a beautiful voice and its rock. There is a difference with the music and of course Floors range. And in Europe there are more bands like this. You have Epica and Within temptation that are really good but for me Nightwish is number one. Subscribed so i can be apart of your journey. Greetings from Sweden
They can make you smile, they can make you cry too (if you continue this journey). Welcome to Nightwish world. Greetings from Portugal 🤘
If i ever get my hands on a time machine, this concert would be it's destination.
If we could get a time machine, I'd add a cloaking device to that. I would want to be on stage with them as they play this concert.
The word is
SYMPHONIC METAL!!!!
The best music in the UNIVERSE!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
The part you listened again was originally done by a background choir, because of the high notes. Floor: "Hold my beer."
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I think you are fantastic!
Everyone has their own frame of reference and your frame is a little bit smaller in this kind of music. That's TOTALLY OK.
The ones that doesn't understand that....just ignore them and think of them as not being able to be empathic. Everyone is not capable of thinking twice.
I see that YOU are an empath, and that will benefit you as you continue your journey with Nightwish. Because they take you on rides. Like rollercoaster rides emotionally. So be prepared and hold on...maybe have a box of tissues nearby. Because that can happen to.
Much Love to You and Ukraine
💙💛💙🌻🌻🌻
So much love to you and Ukraine!
Having this much fun watching folks fall in love with Nightwish should be criminal.
Either that or required by law 😊
I just love your sincere reactions. Don’t change and be YOU. Don’t apologize. Enjoy… 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I was impressed with your first reaction so I'm back for more. Don't worry about ruffling anyone's feathers, we don't need any gatekeepers in the Nightwish Army, everyone is welcome. Enjoy the ride, it'll blow your mind what this band is capable of.
Hello Debbie. English cousin here enjoying your reactions. I am a relative newbie too, having only discovered the band in 2017. This particular genre is called Symphonic Metal/Rock and is far more accessible to listen to than 'Heavy Metal'. Gabriel's list is an excellent guide, and I am sure you will enjoy your fall 'down the rabbit hole' of NW material. Each song is different, and you will find yourself emotionally-invested as you delve deeper. You will also find recommendations to listen to bands such as Epica, Ayreon and Within Temptation. If you truly wish to broaden your musical horizons, trust in those recommendations, and open your mind and ears to a whole world you never new existed! Take care of that heart and I look forward to seeing you on the next reaction. Kindest, Kevin.
Thank you so much. 💙
Thank you for continuing to react to Nightwish! You have barely scratched the surface of this amazing band - so much joy awaits you! You also mentioned Heart., so let me share with you the amazing cover of "Alone" done by Floor Jansen. ua-cam.com/video/1fu-yP6q6Gk/v-deo.html
The groups composer, Tuomas (keyboards) always uses the perfect key, cord progression and lyrics to provoke a certain feeling. Every Nightwish song has it's own unique emotional response. The wonder and amazement that you're feeling was written into the song. Tuomas is a musical genius, and with Floor and the boys performing, it's like magic.
Another amazing reaction! You're killing it 👍
I would recommend shoemaker live at hell fest , it’s pretty mind blowing too !!!🎉🎉
absolutely, but please take your heart medicine before listening 🐺🤘, it will leave you breathless
Sooner or later you are going to have to face up to "The Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley". But please, research the reason why this song was written before watching and you will be in tears before the end of this great performance.
❤Nightwish ❤Floor ! It is great to see you experience Nightwish for the first time , we (the Nightwish Army) get to relive our first time with you and it never gets old !!
Yes Nightwish is so good, that Floor'r turbo voice is launched like a rocket, soaring up into the sky!
The Nightwish Army is a cross section of society. It consists of people of all ages and the Army has followers, laid backs, diehards, fanatics, extremists but we won’t do no harm, promise. For some of us Nightwish isn’t a band, it’s a way of life and for some it’s a religion. And as in every society/religion some can be very… narrow minded. But that’s on them, the majority is the opposite and we welcome every one who enjoys good music, good singers (yes, plural… Tarja, Anette, Floor, Marko and Troy) and good musicians. So welcome and enjoy the ride, it’s a roller coaster of feelings, emotions, laughs, tears, you name it… Nightwish delivers…
YOU are in for the experience of a lifetime ?you are now a full member of the NIGHTWISH army welcome
❤️
NW will make you cry and thump holes in the ceiling...there's no other band like this. They encapsulate everything good from +40 years of pop /rock / classical music with a generational talent in Floor Jansen and quite simply a genius composer in Tuomas Holopainen. That's not to ignore the other stellar talents in the various lineups. There are no weak songs every single one is a crafted mini masterpiece. Happy to be along for the ride. Deep breaths
It's great that you were able to make a new video so quickly! I think Nightwish made a big impression!
Now that you're about to plunge down the NW rabbit hole, just let go. It's full of surprises. NW has made about 120 songs and you won't find two alike! Composer-lyricist genius Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards) takes care of it!
Tuomas' composition and lyrics + Nightwish + London Philharmonic Orchestra + Metro Voices choir + conductor James Shearman = Eargasm!
Love, you do not have to explain yourself,experiencing for the first time ,eventually you will get to know more about Nightwish , just like everything else in life,have a great night,will keep on watching your reactions.
Several years ago, Floor appeared on a Dutch TV show called Beste Zangers(best singers). The format is , a group of well known European singers, sit around in a cozy setting and sing for each other. For an idea of just how good Floor is you should check out her performance of Mama, Vilja Lied a cover of Lady Gaga's Shallow, and the astounding duet with a well known former Phanton, in Phantom of The Opera. Floor hits a note, and holds it for 8 seconds, which brings the house down. The videos are on you tube. Your enthusiasm and reaction is fun and enjoyable. Welcome to Nightwish.
You mentioned Heart. Fun fact: Floor loves Ann Wilson. She even recorded a cover of 'Alone' in her home studio during the pandemic. You can find it on Floor's UA-cam channel.
In the last (almost) three decades several bands developped the genre of Symphonic Metal. Some of them also have beautiful female voices, e.g. Epica, Ad Inifinitum, Xandria, Delain, and many others. Welcome down in the rabbit hole.
As a drummer, this is one of my favs by Nightwish because of the badass drum solo we got in this one. Loved your reaction as always. 🙂
Hi it's Michael here from Australia. I enjoyed your reaction to Nightwish. I hope you did not have a heart attack. Hope you are ok.
I come from a small country town of about 8000 people. I currently live in Sydney, Australia. I have loved Nightwish for many years. Besides being an amazing band, there songs are so diverse.
I hope to see you reacting again. Floor is one of the greatest vocalists on the planet.
I’m okay! My heart had to calm down 🥰 and I can safely say that’s never happened reacting to music before this video! Thank you for your kindness ❤️
Greetings from Switzerland. I'm 51, and a Nightwish fan for more than 20 years. Despite the fact, that I love various styles of music, this band keeps staying in my personal top 10. And this is because I feel the passion and love they give to every song they ever created.
Observing your reaction you've had to these two song you've already heard, I'm quite convinced, you will never be disappointed from what you're still going to hear by going down this rabbit hole ;-) Take Gabriel's list, pick them randomly, they're all worth it.
"What in the world did I just watch?" Perfection, that's what. Nightwish with Floor is another level of awesome. Great reaction, BTW.
Your channel and your journey, just say how you see and feel it. Your journey is going to be one of the best to tag along with. Thank you.
🤩👍💥💯🎼
Such an entertaining, kinda charming and in a way lil bit amuzing reaction mi lady. 😁
This is what you get when listening musical awesomeness of :
"Nightwish on stage"
Nicely done and keep on rockin with this magical band!

I can totally relate. About 2 years ago I discovered Nightwish with Ghost Love Score. By the end of it I was heavily sweating and had goosebumps (Floorgasms) galore. I am so enjoying your wonderstruck reactions. There are many more of those in your future.
Great reaction 😘Floor is absolutely gorgeous , her amazing singing and the way she act on stage makes you can t takę yours eyes off her😍🤗💋
Nightwish Army UK here. I first saw them live with their first singer Tarja in 2000 and then live with Anette then again at this Famous Wacken concert. I was hooked first time and hooked even more with Floor. I was scepticle at first as id never heard Floor, but now in my opinion she is the best vocalist Nightwish have ever had. I still get goosebumps, my heart races everytime i listen to her and the band behind her. There is nobody with Floors range. Every song they sing is total perfection.
I love your reactions keep them coming.

Welcome to Nightwish Worlds & Greeting from Indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🤘🤘🤘
I enjoyed your first two reactions a lot! I found Nightwish and Floor a year ago and can't get enough! Enjoy the ride....every song is different and they are all exceptional. You will be so glad you came out from under that rock! Subscribed to enjoy your journey with you.
Debbie....it's the joy that Tuomas gives us all through Nightwish. Enjoy Nightwish....
the greatest vocalist to ever grace my ears
Oh, almighty Nightwish, glad you enjoyed. Don't worry about Evanescence thing. Thanks for using the headphones. The sound was so much better. Every Nightwish song is storyline driven and this song has interesting background info.
From wiki:
Composer and lyricist of the song, Tuomas Holopainen has said that "Storytime" is inspired by the 1982 movie The Snowman, the theme of which was previously covered by Nightwish for their Oceanborn album. The idea for the music of "Storytime" was born when Holopainen wondered why no-one had made a remake of the film, and pondered on what his version of the score to the scene in which "Walking in the Air" plays would sound like.
In a teaser text released prior to the release, Holopainen summarized the song:
"How would it feel to take a midnight flight with a snowman through the most wondrous landscapes, like in the classic animated Yuletide film? The meaning of our very existence is created though stories, tales and imagination. They are at the very core of humanity."
The lyrics references several classical pieces of fiction concerning imagination, including the character of Peter Pan and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. The lyrics also mention the mythical Gaia, the Greek primordial Earth goddess.
Hi ValtteL! I really like the bits of information about NW you put in the comments especially from the time before Floor. I discoverd NW in 2019 through the Dutch TV series "De Reunie" (The Reunion). Strange fact is I don't remember the first song I heard of them because I was so obsessed I wanted to hear all their music and all of the info at the same time🤣I remember it was really chaos in my head , no wonder with discovering so much mesmerizing music haha. And to know more...The book "Once upon a Nightwish" is on my list of birthday presents so fingers crossed.....
@@moniquevanaken2638 Thank you Monique 😄 I can imagine that it was a big party inside your head when the flood of sound and information came in 😆 I've been following them since the beginning, so it's been more from album to album and analyzing new stuff. Oceanborn and Wishmaster were so much that Yngwie Malmsteen/Stratovarius/Helloween style which was really popular in Finland in the 90s. Kinda technical and positive approach and vibe overall. So it was really a shock when Century Child came and it was almost unreal feeling when I listened to it - "is this the same band?", "heck these guitars are so heavy and front of the mix", "everything is so dark and cinematic". Much slower than before so that heaviness and darkness really resonated. I really loved how they changed and explored new musical territories. After Century Child I knew they can do absolutely anything. I'll never forget that first Century Child "reaction".
@@ValtteL Oohh it was really chaos!🤣For days (and nights) I watched everything I could find on YT. And all the info I could find. And that it the beauty of the iinternet, you can find things now no time. But not everything and that is why I like your info bits! My first great love of music were The Moody Blues back in the 1960's and 70's and it was hard to find a lot of info about them but as you experienced with NW it was also from album to album. But after The MB there wasn't a band or an artist I really liked and then I fell with an enormous Bang into NW's rabbit hole and I never going to climb out of it!🥰
@@moniquevanaken2638 Love it! 😆
"I don't think I was breathing that whole time!" - most relatable comment ever, haha!
and then squeaking out "WHAT? WHAT? WHAT???" - second most relatable comment ever!
Your reaction to this band is probably one of the best I’ve seen around. Keep them coming!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That was a couple of proper Floorgasms again, typical symptoms are pumping heart, spechlessnes and goosebumps.
Nightwish music usually are high energetic and emotional, and a usual feeling is that the song you just listen to is the new favorite Nightwish song.
So happy that you discovered Nightwish and that you decided to share it with us, thank you! See you soon.
I just love a honest and sincere reaction like you just did Debbie. There's no need for you to apologize for anything, you're new to this kind of music, as we all have been at some time. I'm a 53 yr. old from The Netherlands and I had similar feelings the first time i heard Freddie Mercury from the British rock band Queen. I thought that this would be a once in a life time experience, but Floor and Nightwish proved me wrong, and in a way these two bands and their lead singers have the same effect on one. Both are very refreshing and renewing for their time. If only possible, i would love Freddie and Floor to duett, it surely would've been heaven on Earth. I use this song "Storytime", to get me in the mood for going out or going to a party ever since i've heard it for the first time, as the chorus is so catchy and uplifting, it really gets you in the right frame of mind.
They do a wide variety of songs, including some more ballad like songs. Floor is classically trained as is Pat Benatar, Amy Lee, Simone Simons of Epica and many other female front singers in the rock/ metal genre. Floor does some amazing performances with other artists that are a fun watch/listen. Love your reactions, new subscriber from Oregon.
This is the song that got me hooked on Nightwish. I was gobsmacked and in awe of what I was hearing. Nightwish is an amazing visceral emotional journey that leaves you with a big smile on your face every time.
I agree, Amy Lee has a great voice.
The looks on your face in this reaction... PRICELESS! So, SO happy you are discovering the magic of Nightwish! Enjoy!
Nightwish Army Minnesota checking in. I'm also 52. American radio just never offered us music like this, and how do you search for something you might like if you don't know it exists? Sirius XM doesn't even have a channel for it. UA-cam and the other streaming services helps now, but these are not resources we had growing up.
I recommend watching this entire concert as an introduction to the many sides of Night wish. They can go harder and they can go softer. Ever Dream from this show is particularly wonderful. Also, the latest album, Human Nature has moments that will be a party, and other moments that will make you weep with beauty. Enjoy the ride. Stay strong my sister.
Evanescence and Amy Lee I do like, don't get me wrong, but Nightwish is on a total other level. I love the energy from Nightwish, the changes and Floor's voice. What a band. Greetings from a dutch Nightwish fan.
My face hurts from smiling during your reaction. Yep, My workouts are so much better and longer because of them.
Their music brings joy, unity, musicianship beyond compare. Every song will surprise you. They are truly the best! You should do Dark Chest of Wonders or Song of Myself next.
Take care of your heart though.
P.s. I love your soft southern accent. North Carolina? I'm in Utah :)
52 Debbie....seriously !! 😳😳
I would have guessed you were in your 30s !! 😊
I am loving watching your Nightwish 'awakening'!!😊😊
You will find the most wonderful, warm, loving,supportive and positive people in the 'Army' !!
Your Southern 'twang' is delightful, btw. 😉😉
Every song takes you on a different journey, it a transcendence of every day concerns, worries and pressures.
There is an elegance, grace and warmth that pervades everything that Nightwish does.
So glad to have you aboard for the ride !!
🤘😊🤗❤
Truly a biggest surprise for the year by far she's 52 years young!!! 🤩👌
Our lovely lady has genes of an alien out of this wörld, it seems.
But as we all know it's totally Irrelevant in what age you're hopping on this awesomeness of musical ride called Nightwish.
✌️😎🇫🇮💙
Ohhh, I forgot to mention, I am 69 !! 🤘🤘😊🤗❤
Those Southern Ladies don't age like other people. Its got something to do with weather or something.
Another great and very touching review. I sincerely hope your heartbeat is ok now. No army-member would like that your heartcondition gets worse from your continuing Nightwish journey. Best wishes from Amsterdam.😀🤘👏
❤️❤️❤️❤️
So glad you enjoying the best band in the world fronted by the best singer in the world.
Every new song you listen to will be your favorite... fact.
My personal favorite is Shoemaker live at hellfest 2022. The singing, the images, they are of stunning quality. If you find the entire concert. Shoemaker starts around 50 minutes in, I think. Watch till the end of the song, as usual Tuomas and Floor give their best at the end.
"I don't have the words" is probably the most used phrase in reactions to Nightwish, especially to any song from this performance. I would like to echo the comments of Jason Marshall. You are doing great. And as far as not having the words, well, you said all I needed to hear with the emotion in your voice and the expressions on your face. I will be here for any future reactions to the greatest band on land, (or sea, they on a cruise ship at the moment). I am 64 and have only one thing on my bucket list, to see Floor perform live, preferably with the band. She is a true gift to humanity!
Oh my god I absolutely adore you. It's wonderful to see Nightwish crack open your soul. This is going to be a beautiful journey watching you experience this incredible band and many others. We are the same age but I've been blessed with a musical family and have played drums since I was 4. I saw Nightwish live in 2017 and Floor brought tears to my eyes. This is truly one of the greatest bands in the world and I look forward to seeing you get blown away.
Thank you so much!! ❤️
Warlock is one of the first metal bands with a female singer - Doro Pesch (the queen of metal)
Fantastic reaction to our beloved Nightwish with our 6'1" Valkyrie goddess, Floor, on lead vocals. These compositions by Tuomas Holopainen on keyboard come at you with this magical wall of sound above which Floor Jansen's voice soars and are something I never experienced until I discovered Nightwish through a reaction just over a year ago. I was 65 when I made that discovery and on May 18, 2022, Carol, my wife of 41 years, and I got to travel from Phoenix to see them perform live at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco. It was a wonderful, mind-blowing experience I will always treasure. We Americans have been so robbed of years of this musical journey by our lame radio stations that we are flabbergasted when we get to experience it for the first time. Keep following Gabriel's List and prepare for more of the same emotions. There is nothing on the planet like Nightwish in front of a live audience. Floor becomes the music and the crowd. Thank you for this marvelous reaction.
Even though Floor is at another level than Amy Lee as a vocalist, Amy Lee is at another level as a combo pianist/singer. They all have their strengths.
I concur.
Its true, but you know Floor plays piano, guitar and flute really well
1. you don't need to apologise 2. yes, we all said "what was that?" 3. we are glad that now you belong to the army. Greeting from Greece!
I believe we have expanded the nightwish army with at least one new member 😁
Yes!!!! You recorded it through your computer instead of through your external speakers. Well done!! Such a huge difference!! Excellent reaction!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello Debbie! You are such a sweetie, and trust me ... 99% of the Nightwish Army are sweet, loving people and the other 1% are as well, they just can get their panties twisted by small things. Don't worry about them, and don't apologize for being you. We love you, because you love what we love. You are listening to the most brilliant musicians on the planet, and somehow they all found each other to create this band. As you explore songs, you will find that Tuomas will touch your emotions in ways that you cannot anticipate. He's an emotional introspective guy who wears his heart on his sleeve. Nightwish songs contain the genius of Classical composers with themes of today, because Tuomas belongs to the ages. Always keep a box of tissue nearby. When the time comes for "The Poet and the Pendulum"; "The Greatest Show On Earth" and "Dead Boy's Poem" ... do a little bit of research to grasp the deep meaning. The guitarist, Emppu, is just full of personality. He walks around the stage and checks on everybody as they play, and he always has a smile on his face while playing the most appropriate leads for the song. He sacrifices ego for the song, as they all do. Pay attention, because during Dead Boy's Poem, you will see one of the very few times he doesn't smile, because of the tone of the song. Each song will surprise you in some life changing way, and I am here to accompany you on that journey. They do not know how to play anything but masterpieces. You did great ... keep it up!
No apologies needed! I'm so excited for your journey of discovery! Glad you are going to dig into more of their catalog. Nightwish Army can be intimidating, but know that we are here to.educate, assist and accompany you along the way! If you have any questions just ask in your reaction, we'll help you!
As a Nightwish fan, I'm glad you're excited about it. If you keep going (which I really hope) you'll hear a lot more that you've never heard before. Nightwish is really something special and has more than a few good songs!
Seems I`am late to the party.......
Greetings from Nightwish Army South Germany.
The GODDESS got your soul. Resistance is futile.......
None of the songs in Wacken had been written for her.....no problem....she feeled them and brought everyone to the climax of expression.
Everyone in this band is an absolute master on his instrument(s) ....
As you mentioned Emppu (guitar)......he is able to express and amplify any emotion the song needs .....
On top the mastermind, the genius, the Metal-Mozart ....Tuomas Holopainen.
Nightwish is able to kidnap your heart, soul and brain into an outer world........
Keep on going...and expect the unexpected (in an positive way)........
You're 52?! WOWZER! You are not only sweet but beautiful. Oh! and I love your reactions to Nightwish! PLASE keep following them; you won't regret it!
