For your own health I suggest you turn the volume of your airpod a bit lower haha! We like you to listen to NW for a long time!😅But I can relate to your falling into NW's rabbit hole. When I discovered them 4 yrs ago I listened to them hour after hour, days and nights!😮I couldn't get enough haha. It was exhausting. It literally turned my world upside down but I don't regret one sec of it! To guide you into calmer waters, and hopefully slow your heart rate a bit...here are links to "softer"songs"...AND you get to meet the 6th member of the band Troy Donockly with his very special instrument!
1. "Sleeping Sun" Live at Tampere 2015 (pron TAHM-peh-rreh) It is one of Floor's favorites! ua-cam.com/video/rsotIzr9wNw/v-deo.html
2. "My Walden" Live Wembley Arena 2015 ua-cam.com/video/knqeI807ZIY/v-deo.html
3. "Elvenjig & Elvenpath" Live in Bogota 2018 ua-cam.com/video/OmiUGNkeJkA/v-deo.html
And if you want to know how to pronounce the names of the bandmembers in Finnish... ua-cam.com/video/DpapnmXoIZk/v-deo.html Enjoy and keep breathing!🥰Greetings from The Netherlands!

The greatest show on earth, 7 days to the wolves and Shoemaker will also raise the heart
@@MisterJ56 Hello and thanks for drawing my attention to it. I don't know why the links don't work because the video's are still available if you search on YT. I checked several times if I had written down the right links and that was ok. So "Sleeping Sun" at Tampere is still working on YT. I like that performance because of the whole picture.....a beautiful song, Floor in her beautiful dress and her elegance that fits the song! Thanks again!
Swedish NW army checking in. Wow you're really going all in with Nightwish. Trust me, no one in the NW army will complain. We will totally enjoy the ride.
Yes i concur and Swedish Nightwish army here also
nw army finland checking in ... u have really nice reaction and dont thing so bad about health i have more troubele even when i sleep i have heart rate off 110 thats why im gonna die yong =(
Michigan soldier here!
Another Swede here, NW army is like a big loving family.
Your reaction was a real show in itself :) I saw it with a big smile. Although the subject of this song is serious - it's about a car-crash relationship, with the disappointment of lies and betrayals - the remaining feeling is one of catharsis, and the vocal slide at the end - one of release.
I'm glad you consider the list of songs I'm promoting to be important, but please follow your feeling whenever you want to listen to a song that's not on that list. The fans will always give you suggestions, and if you want to know something specifically about the band and its members - just ask, and you will receive answers in the comments.
And please stop apologizing because you are who you are and react according to your way of being. You should know that most of the metalheads are direct people and not very diplomatic, so there is no need to protect their sensitivity.
🖤
Reality, as it is 😊
👏👏👏
Thank you so much for the encouragement. It’s taken me a little while to get used to having one sided conversations with a microphone.
I appreciate your kind words and so glad you enjoyed it. I was thrilled!
I’d like to know more about the Pendulum song; the back story please.
Thanks again! ❤️🥰❤️
@@thequestionqueens Oh, right on target! In short, the story goes like this: dissensions arose between the band members (Tarja Turunen on the one hand, together with her manager and husband, Marcelo Cabuli, and the rest of the band on the other) which culminated at the end of the tour to promote album no. 5 "Once" (2004). The band members then decided to fire Tarja, handing her an open letter at the end of the last concert of the tour, which took place at the Hartwal Arena in Helsinki, Finland (October 21, 2005). In the following days after the letter was made public by the band, Tarja Turunen responded with another public letter. Spirits heated up among the fans, and many of them took Tarja's side, turning against the band, especially against Tuomas Holopainen, considered to be the leader of Nghtwish. Overwhelmed by the negative public pressure, Tuomas suffered a state of depression, even contemplating the idea of suicide. It seems that the words of his parents were decisive, which helped him overcome the extreme moment. The song "The Poet And The Pendulum", part of Nightwish's next album "Dark Passion Play" (2007) describes in a poetic and dark way the tumult of Tuomas's emotions following these events, making a parallel with "The Pit And The Pendulum " by A. E. Poe.
The echoes of this conflict resound even now, after more than 15 years since the event, many of the fans from that time never returning, or maintaining a distant (and sometimes even negative) attitude towards the band together with the following 2 female singers.
Personally, I think it's an example of how wrong it is to wash your clothes in public, and how certain decisions should be made with the mind, not with emotions - but such wisdom is not specific to young people, unfortunately.
It must also be said that after years, bridges of communication appeared between Tarja and the other members of the band, and Tarja and Floor are really good friends, having known each other since they were together on tours, when Floor was in her first band, After Forever.
@@thequestionqueens Reading other comments, I dare to advise you not to rush to react to "The Poet...". You are not ready yet. Listen to a few more songs with Floor, listen to a few songs with Tarja at least. At this moment, I don't think you have enough information, logically and emotionally.
I think I can safely say I am going to enjoy watching your Nightwish journey. Your energy and excitement for the band is amazing. Enjoy every moment.
❤❤❤❤❤
This is like a huge energy blast. It's all about a homicide or suicide of a romance. Floor's and Marko's duet slide at the end is phenomenal. The gentleman singing is a living legend, Marko Hietala. ⛄👍
And you’ve now discovered the “secret weapon” of Nightwish, and that’s the lyrics written by Tuomas Holopainen. It’s so easy to get lost in the music and miss what’s happening with the story and words, but Tuomas is a poet and has a way with words that just touches something inside you, and with Floor’s emotive ability and the rest of the band’s musicality, it really hits home.
Poet and the Pendulum then dead boys poem is going to break this poor lady. Need to give her a 30 Kleenex box rating for those two.
Nightwish and Nightwish Army isn't just a band and fans. It's a lifestyle.
You’re the 10th person that said this. I’m equally terrified and excited!
Pero primero explorá el significado tan grande que tiene esa canción... Si sabes lo que significa para el grupo y en especial para Tuomás,la vas a escuchar de otra manera... Besazo grandes desde Valencia, España ... 😘😘😘😘😘
@@thequestionqueens I have seen a couple of grown man break on the Poet and the Pendulum, so you have been warned. It is a rollercoaster of emotions. Dead Boys Poem has emotional moments, but it is IMO mainly a beautiful song. The best version is from another concert, in Buenos Aires. Change of scenery and change of outfit.
@@thequestionqueens Don't be terrified. Just know that when it comes to Nightwish, you're going to have a lot of feelings and emotions. I would say that right now, you aren't ready for The Poet and the Pendulum, because you should get to know the band a bit more before getting into the turmoil and tribulation they have had over the past 28 years. We in the NW Army will definitely let you know when you are ready, because there isn't a single song that you will not like from this band.
@@thequestionqueens These ten people are nice, they really love your heart. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Look, they also made some beautiful ballads, think about your health.🥰😜😝😛
Wow, what an intense and genuine reaction again ❤
BTW Floor was hired to finish the tour because the former singer Anette had to leave the band in the middle of it. At this performance (Wacken 2013) they realized that you can not just hire her, she took control.. Not because she wanted, but because she is … Floor!😮
At this point she was already on stage for 17 years, check her previous bands After Forever and (my fav) Revamp!
BTW BTW There is a documentary about Floor joining Nightwish: “Please learn the setlist in 48 hours” a must see.
You should perhaps do How's the Heart next the planet rock acoustic version. It is an ode to human empathy and you'll get to meet Troy.
I concur
i to concur
I concur
It is a fantastic performance.
Agreed! How's the Heart acoustic is a must.
I'm 67 and only discovered Night wish about 4 years ago.In all my life no band had ever affected me the way Night wish does No one comes close. They are Truly something special so I completely understand your reactio!
So happy to have you and all your 67 years of wisdom here with me! 🥰❤️🥰
@@thequestionqueens I'm 74 but I'm from Finland so I have I've known them since 1996 when they started with Tarja Turunen. They even tried to enter the Eurovision Song Contest once, but the panel of experts didn't dare to send, the people wanted (I hope I remember rihgt) 😅
I was 10 years old at the time and it was my first Nightwish concert.That was an absolute state of emergency for me emotionally... I was just screaming and crying... since then not a day goes by when I don't listen to Nightwish.
Hi from the Netherlands, Floor is an empath too, she has spoken about it in several interviews!
And so is Tuomas, that is probably why she is able to perform his songs so well.
Floor talks about being high sensitive in some of her talks on her channel.
I don’t know of anyone else who can channel and evoke emotion like Floor can. Some say that she can bring out the “onion ninjas.” She is a gift to humanity.
The titel is romance and suicide - merged - and it is a roller-coaster of emotions, which Floor demonstrates in the 3 octave glissado.
And Marco the bassist is also a phenomenal singer - just like Troy (which you haven't met yet) - so Nightwish had 3 singers in those days (Marco left due to health issues a little while back).
And don't worry - you have still only heard old songs, not written specific to Floor!!! Of course she made all the songs her own - but from 2015, the songs are written to take advantage of her talent - and Tuomas even managed to challenge Floor on the last two records - which she loves, while that's the perfect way to improve and evolve.
So - massive 'Floorgasms' ahead 😉 and you will soon learn her emotional skills.
Greetings from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍 💪 🤘 🤘
Unless you have heard Tuomas explain the title that way, I'd say that it doesn't necessarily have "suicide" as a merged word. Any type of killing is a type of "-cide". For example, homicide means killing a human. So romanticide could mean just killing the romance. Although, if you meant it as the romance killing itself, I guess it comes very close to the exact same thing.
@@HaecceitasQuidditas both Tuomas and Marco has explained it that way.
@@HaecceitasQuidditas I'd like to think pesticide - spray the hornet that's been teasing too long and ti' time to get rid of it, LOL
If you watch the whole concert, you'll find that at the end of the previous song, Markko tells a little story. Romanticide is about killing romance.
The Kombat Koala (Australian) division of the NW Army reporting. What you have to understand about metal is, and this is particularly true of Nightwish, is that it reaches in and grabs those emotions that you hold inside and never show and pulls them out so you can feel them. Positive and negative. You have them, we all have them but metal allows you to channel them through the music in a positive way even the negative ones. You really experience this when you are in the crowd, everyone is exactly like you, they feel it, rage and anger being pulled out and allowed to leave. In their place peace and calm. Metals crowd are the best, kindest and most considerate of all music, within the music and emotions we are all brothers and sisters.
Love love your videos. You are such a wonderful woman and so positive given all your probelms. There is a long way to go in your Nightwish journey and also you have all the Floor solo songs. Keep up the good work and look forward to following you all the way. Lots of love from the UK.
Thank you so very much for your kindness. It gives my heart happy wings that you’re enjoying the videos so much 💙
Nightwish are emotions put into music. Make you forget the trouble. Lovely reaction 🥰
🥰
You don't need to explain what you felt while listening to this. We all saw it on your face and remember what it was like hearing this for the first time! As a total musical noob who was blown away by Symphonic Metal in 2019, I get your reaction! The good news is there is plenty more to come, and odds are each song you hear will become your new favourite - except for all the others - for quite a while!
The best thing to come out of covid ?a 70yr old finding this band and stunning singer FLOOR
Have you ever tried to listen to Nightwish with high quality headphones? Strongly suggested. Also, really digesting the lyrics while listening adds a lot of value and impact...they have justifiably been described as "word painting".
Arkansas div. Here. If you listen to enough nightwish, you'll be balling! I'm in my 60's and have heard all their songs hundreds of times and several bring to tears..ghost love score does it everytime! Sleeping sun is a soft one too. Gabriel is our General that takes care of the newbies, but your not obligated to the list..this is at wacken (vah-ken) in Germany. This entire concert is good! The goosebumps are called floorgasms.. try sleeping sun at tampere...slow and beautiful...tuomas (tu-o-mas) the metal mozart
Hey Jerry, glad to see another Arkansan Nightwish fan. South Arkansas here and will turn 70 next month.
I'm in the hot water city. Anytime you want to get together and talk nightwish let me know!
@@German_1 Beautiful city, have spent lot's of time there. Met my wife there. I'm about half way between Fordyce and El Dorado on hwy 167. Talking Nightwish is a go for me anytime.
Great reaction, love how you are feeling the emotion! Time to slow it down and do a beautiful Nightwish tear-jerker next! Try "Sleeping Sun" live from Tampere 2015, or "Dead Boy's Poem" live from Buenos Aires 2018
I concur.
But, Debbie, TISSUE ALERT !!!!!
Oh man. Dead Boy's Poem is a 3-tissue box experience.
You are Such a Breath of Fresh Air. I Hope it only Gets Better from here for You. Thanks for your Great Reactions. 👍
a little info: Floor speaks 5 languages, dutch, german, some finnish, english and swedish. she also has a rock page. NORTHWARD - While Love Died (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) ua-cam.com/video/bAiPeSsqD-4/v-deo.html
I love seeing your reaction to Nightwish because I felt the same. I was reborn when I discovered their music. You gotta go see them live someday!
This last video I was actually thinking about how it would feel to be in that audience, and I can’t even imagine how amazing that would be.
"Dead Boys Poem" from Buenos Aires is one of Nightwishs most beautiful and also such an emotional / sad song. Definitely a three tissue-boxes song.
Btw: When there is a boy or poet in the lyrics, Tuomas is referring to himself.
Oh my gosh, I just shivered with you telling me that. I’m a little frightened of that one.
@@thequestionqueens No need to be frightened.
PS: You've got a dm via Messenger 🙂
"How does she do that?" Well, she's the Valkyrie Goddess, that's how.
Well I can say that you are now member of the NIGHTWISH ARMY. Welcome aboard. Loving you and your reactions. Great job!!!
Thank you so much, Gary ❤🥰❤️
If there is one thing we all can appreciate, it is someone who is genuine in their video reactions. Making faces, rambling, whatever... You just be you, that's all we ask. And yes, you can use Nightwish music as a workout, so I'm glad your heart is still beating after this one. (Told ya)
Nightwish Army Germany with a health warning here: As you are going through Nightwish songs pretty quickly, there are some songs that actually might be dangerous for you if they hit you unprepared. That does not mean you should not listen to them, but you should know what to expect:
Yours is an empty hope: Very angry song about internet trolls. Be prepared for growling!
The Poet and the Pendulum: Very long, dark lyrics about depression and suicide.
The greatest show on earth: their best work IMHO; also their longest; but very uplifting! Might be offensive to creationists because it is about the evolution of life and mankind and contains lots of scientific terms…
And lots and lots of other songs that will just transfer a lot of energy to you!
Take care and have fun.
Hi again. This song is a wall of sound coming to carry us off. Floor and Marko absolutely killing it and so is the entire band. Every Nightwish live performance is so different from anything else and it is terrific. I am dearly loving your reactions to this amazing band live. Keep them coming... although make sure you don't overwork your heart. I'm glad to welcome you to our Nightwish rabbit hole. Thanks again for this reaction.
You just described what i felt my first Nightwsh times
Don't mind how you say Tuomas, the NW army knows who you talking about, just enjoy listening to the music. Tuomas writes almost everything, music, lyrics, a few songs done by Marko and Emppu, rest is Tuomas. NW army Finland 🤘 here, you really are a special reactor.
Thank you so very much❤ glad to have you here with me. 🥰
Don't focus on the things you can't do... Focus on the things you CAN do!!!!
I love your reactions, keep it going.
Greetings from the dutch/german border
Amen!!! And greetings from Kentucky, USA!
Goosebumps when Floor sings is called Floorgasm
I must speak Floorgasm fluently 😂😂😂
@@thequestionqueens yes, we all do 😂
In my experience, the Nightwish Army loves and appreciates genuine reactions to Nightwish. Also, don’t feel bad about missing some things the first time. That is very common. There is so much to take in and appreciate in these songs that it takes a few listens.
Hi from the netherlands. Love these nightwish reactions. I woud love to see your reaction to floor janssen on de beste zangers 2019. It is a dutch tvshow where dutch singers sing for eachother. Every week is a tribute to one singer. The others sing songs that mean something to that one singer or one of their songs. She sings vilja lied, shallow but also phantom of the opera with the dutch official phantom.
But even though I love nightwish I have another musical passion. Would you pleas please react to accapella gods Pentatonix. Most people start with halleluja. You can watch the official video or the live version from their 2016 Christmas show. Pleas please please. I think you wil love them. Everything you hear comes from their mouth.
Just like the nightwish army the pentaholics will come
I will absolutely do that for you. You said please so many times and were so sweet, how can I not? I’ve written it down in my book with your name by it ❤
With this song I am awakened in the morning.
And I have energy for the whole day.
The next Ever Dream is on your list.
It's so much fun watching you react to Nightwish. So many reactors out there lately that doesn't...react.. or show anything while watching. I hope you will continue with Nightwish, every song is different.
It's the mix of Tuomas his songwriting, compositions and Floor's incredible voice.
Nightwish will be a emotional Rollercoaster.
Greeting /Groet from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
I love your reactions! Many of us totally understand everything you're feeling. We've been there too!
I’m so glad you do! I don’t even know what I’m doing and I just hope it all turns out after I finish each video 😂❤🥰
@@thequestionqueens I watch a lot of Nightwish reactions and yours are some of my favorites!
thanks from the netherlands , floors home country .
You’re so very welcome 🥰❤️🥰
Nightwish Army: Oregon Division reporting!
Really enjoying your Nightwish/Floor journey! Always great to see new fans getting caught up in the magic the way I have! I knew when you did the phonebook reaction already, you're all in! 😂
Anything from this Wacken 2013 show is insane. You've already done the big three, reactor-wise, but you've only scratched the surface of this incredible concert. In fact, my own favorite, "Song of Myself" is yet to come! Can you believe, Floor wasn't even an official member yet, and none of those songs were written for her? 😲
Much more greatness from this and other shows to come! If you stick with General Gabriel's list, you can't go wrong! But just remember to BREATHE! 😉
I can’t believe that. Thank you for being here with me. And yep, I’m all in ❤
You can breathe now! I hope you don't change the way your doing these videos because its a pleasure to behold. There are songs that will be kinder on your heart rate but take care because the energy and tears will flow stronger at times. Thank you.
FUN FACT! The inventor, Seppo Säynäjäkangas, of the first ever heart rate monitor is a Finnish man, who came up with it for the Finnish National Ski Team. He is also the founder of Polar Electro company which made the first personal and wearable heart rate monitors.
Otra vez me impresionas con tus reacciones.
Eres un gran ser humano, tal vez no te explicarás qué es lo que Nightwish produce en tí, en diez años que llevo siguiéndolos nunca me lo he podido explicar.
No sé cuándo te arrancarán lágrimas y sonrisas, quizá entonces lloraremos y reiremos juntos
Dios te dé salud y larga vida.
Saludos desde Colombia.
Hermosas palabras, hernano colombiano😉
We All are One ♥️🔥💥🎶💎...as You opened up your heart ...everybody loves You 💎..btw ..this Beautifull world ...will be liberated ..🔜....You ll..find out 💜
Thank you, I love your reactions to Nightwish. ❤ People take care of their hair every day, why don't we do the same with our hearts? Listening to Nightwish helps me do exactly that!
"dead boys poem' from Buenos Aires 2015 is a 5 kleenex box song.
I second this
I concur
Oh my goodness!
@@thequestionqueens Dead boys poem is definitely at least five. Poet and the pendulum is ALL of the tissue emojis + infinity. Please wait on that one. I'm hyper-sensitve, and I rarely watch Poet reactions. It just takes too much of an emotional toll on me, especially when the reactor is also empathic.
@@thequestionqueens Nah, they are just kidding, two to three boxes will be just fine :-D
Can't wait to see "Everdream"...
Greetings from Guatemala 🇬🇹❤️ The Goddess Floor Jansen, Queen of Metal!!!
Hi from the Netherlands! I love your videos very much. I envy you your first time experiencing every composition. And every song is so different. I hope you will continue on this musical adventure! ❤️
I’m definitely going to continue. Glad to have you here. ❤
unlike other bands they make music for the pleasure of making it and they are there at concerts not for personal glory but for their fans, because they care and live for them.
Following you on your Nightwish journey from the Netherlands , you’re in for a great ride😊
nightwish army south east division, tuscaloosa AL...we love ya babe keep up the good work.
Heavy Metal is and was never a boring Music
I adore your channel. One: you reactions are wonderful. Two: your smile is infectious. And three: you're a joy to watch
Thank you, thank you, thank you 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️
I love how this song tells a story of a break-up with both Marko and Floor playing the lovers... Floor telling the woman's side, Marko singing the man's side... culminating at them literally screaming at each other. Genius song writing by Tuomas to not only tell the tale verbally, but also through the rises and falls and the huge vocal slide at the end that make up the music of it. So many pop and rock songs are just underlayment to the vocal, but Tuomas actually composes music and takes the time to write so that you feel the song through the music, not just the lyric. Of course, with lyrics like his added to the musical score... it becomes magic, not music.
Keep safe, dear, these people are perfect performers and deliver emotions realky effective, so even I healthy men have heart beat increased (even after hearing it for a hundreds times). Now, I would say you have heard something after 3 songs (except Marko - a basist and vocalist, you haven't heard him yet) but it isjust a beginning, go on! And yes, Floor, everyone just love her)
When an empath discovers Nightwish, it's basically game over.. not only if Floor a empath, Tuomas who creates the songs, is one too, and they channel that into their performances.
So.. yeah, this is a "feels band" hehehe, and that being said, there will be quite a few songs that will be 3 boxes of tissues for you, and a few might rank as 5 boxes ;)
"The poet and the pendulum" is a heavy song and easily 3 boxes (if not 4), but for me personally.. "Greatest show on earth" is 5 boxes all day long, it's such a beautiful song that puts things in perspective in a whole different way than you'd expect, it is the story of the birth of the universe, rise of humanity, our place in the cosmos, and our place within all that, it's a 21 minute masterpiece.
I do think there is a 1 tissue box minimum with every song Nightwish has to offer, it's best to just have a box handy at all times hehe
Uk Nightwish Army checking in, loving your Nightwish journey so far, its always wonderful seeing another soul falls to this incredible band 🤘
Floors latest song “Invincible” was released just a few weeks ago and described very well the situation you are in
That sounds like a3 Kleenex box song!
@@thequestionqueens Yesssssss !!!!
It is a gentle but emotional journey of those who experience PTSD. Originally written and recorded for the Invictus games, it had even more meaning to Floor after she went through Breast Cancer just before the song was released.
I have severe PTSD and the music of Nightwish and Floor help me through the day,
Invincible is indeed a song about PTSD and the words in the song are sooo true,a inside look into PTSD
Excited to watch your future Nightwish journey. Always a pleasure to see a new Nightwishfan being born:) You are great and please continue. Cheers from Sweden:)
Nightwish army in north east England checking in. You have a long way to go on this journey through Nightwish and their catalogue. There’s so much to listen both softer and hard edge.
As hooked as I am to Nightwish and even having been to a concert of them last year, I'm now hooked to your reactions! Great stuff!
Agreed because she’s expressing what we all feel pretty damn well.
🥰
Floorgasm! That is what is called when Floor kicks you in the feels and gives you goosebumps. Be prepared for a lot more of them 😉
Goosebumps= Floorgasims
This song is Like a Coffee with Red Bull .... On Steroids 🤘❤🔥🤘.
The “scream” at the end is called a glissando, going from low to high and back, for classically trained singers this is an exercise to warm up the vocal cords, so Floor will do this probably every day before breakfast ...
And there is Marko(Bass Player):
Marko Hietala "The Viking" is a Finnish heavy metal vocalist, bassist and songwriter (ex-member of Nightwish).
Internationally, best known as the former bassist, male vocalist and secondary composer to Tuomas Holopainen, of the symphonic metal band Nightwish. He was also the vocalist and bassist as well as composer and lyricist for the heavy metal band Tarot. He was also a member of the supergroup Northern Kings, and portrayed one of the main characters in Ayreon's 2013 album The Theory of Everything.
NWSU 🤘😎🤘.
You'll always be well with Nigthwish... Kisses from Portugal!

Nightwish Army checking in from Philadelphia. Formerly a Mississippi resident. I don't think there are enough tissues for The Crow, The Owl, and The Dove. It is a legitimate tear jerker of a song.
Subscribed after the first Nightwish reaction! 👍
Thank you, Niklas. So happy to have you here. ❤
Always funny seeing people go "OMG her range" way before they know exactly how incredibly versatile Floor really is
I just can't help, but loving that Southern accent, it's so indeering:)
Hi and best wishes from Scotland. Really enjoyed your reaction. I enjoy these videos as it reminds me of the first time I heard these songs. Your take and style should always be yours. I know what my reaction was, I am here for yours, whatever it may be. We are all different, let’s celebrate that, you and Nightwish . ❤
Greetings again Debbie.
Thank you for your work in making these videos and publishing them for us all to enjoy. I liked and subscribed before your first reaction to GLS was even over.
I also struggle with my health, and Nightwish music helps a lot. Something about Tuomas' songwriting and the performance of the band, especially Floor, resonates with me like no music has ever done before. Even performances of their "darker" songs like this leave me feeling uplifted somehow. I suppose a large part of that is just watching them do what they love and become such masters at. I am so thankful that they are able to share their talents with us and that they are grateful to be able to do so.
I saw them live last May in Denver. Unfortunately, the venues they play in the US are much smaller than they play in Europe and the stage production is much simpler. This is due to the smaller (though increasing) fanbase and the expense involved. But the show in Denver was awesome anyway. They are committed to their fans, wherever on the globe they may be, and work hard to go visit them in person.
signs of a fullon floorgasm from our 6' 174 pound dutch valkyrie queen, goosebumps, jaw drops, head shakes, oh my gods, and lastly tears, which i call a cleansing floorgasm, our queen has power and the band is outta this world, whenever i watch these videos i'm like WTF i'm getting all emotional, marko hietala is his name i call him odin, marko recently retired, whoever saw NW live with marko hit a flippin jackpot of memories and bragging rights, i've seen about 175 bands live from 78- present, this central cali 60 year old would love to see em at the coachella open air festival
Thank you for this wonderful reaction. I’m waiting for next NW reaction.
your such a sweet soul.never change.ROCK ON
your enthusiasm for Nightwish is super nice to see, it gives me a big smile haha
Enter the greatness of Marko’s vocals. Love his and Floors voices together ! ❤❤❤And Emppu’s shredding his guitar ! Always Jukka’s drums, and it’s all Toumas’s creation! Nightwish Army Texas 🤘🤘
Ok, first off you're adorable! Welcome to the Nightwish Army. Thanks for sharing your reactions, this music will change your life. XOXO
You are in great company. As a metalhead listening to the great metal bands such as Deep Purple Led Zeppelin ACDC Metálica etc, I have never been so emotionally invested in a band like Nightwish ad Floor
Yo can we send oxygen to this awesome lady.
An amazing car song is 'Shudder before the beautiful'. My dream would be for you to react to that and then follow it up with 'Your's is an empty hope' from the same Wembley show. For me, the best one-two opening of a show ever.
I just added both to my list 🥰
Another great reaction Debbie. PLease take good care of your heart/health you only got one. Looking forward tot your next video. Your accent and personality are both very charming.. Greetings from Amsterdam once again.🤘😍
Remember to breathe, my friend! And have fiun!
Every day is worth the challenge so keep spirits up and great that Nightwish makes you laugh and raise emotions - greetings München
I’m really enjoying your reactions. I found Nightwish a couple years ago and now I listen to them everyday. I even traveled from Texas to Minnesota to see them live. Welcome to the army.😉
It's always wonderful to see the birth of a new fan :)
Reminds me of the start of my journey (and no doubt many other fans) into the rabbit hole and now Nightwish are a daily part of my life, every day.
Their music has been with me for about four years now, helping me through the bad times and making the good times better.
I've got a feeling your dive into Nightwish will be a deep and enjoyable one. So many new gems to discover. I have found a significant overlap of Nightwish fans with fans of The Warning. Not the same style of music but I'd bet you will enjoy them also. Maybe add them to your list of future listens.
Another person suggested them and I’ve added them to my list. Thank you so much for the recommendation and I hope you’re enjoying the videos. I’m having a blast.
Glad you like Nightwish, keep spreading the word,😊🤟
After hearing Nightwish for the first time, a person referred to their music as a vehicle of spirit... it moves you and stirs emotions. Tuomas heard it and liked the compliment so much, that he named the 2015 DVD just that... "Vehicle of Spirit". His music and lyrics combined with excellent musicians and Floor's voice is powerful stuff : )
Hi from the UK. Nightwish are not just a great group they are an experience! Love your reaction...mouth wide open throughout. Your journey has just begun. Best wishes and take care.
I like your reactions to Nightwish :) .Also the Southern words .
It's good to see how people are just in disbelief the first times they hear this Great Band , and the Goddess herself.
Greetings from Bulgaria

Nigjtwish Army USA Wisconsin chapter saying welcome and enjoy your journey as you go through the Nightwish playbook . I am an 18 year fan of them and I really hope yoi enjoy them as much as we do . BTW .... it only gets better .
It’s just hard to believe that it keeps getting better. I might explode into tiny confetti.😂
Love to see your reaction to 'Shoemaker' and to 'Yours is an empty hope'. You aint heard Floor yet......
Hi, well nothing more charming than a good southern accent, I myself am dutch( yes just like Floor, she grew up in the south of the Netherlands, just 25 miles from where I live). My girlfriend lives just north-west of Atlanta Georgia.....so again....nothing more charming than a good southern voice. Really enjoying your, sometimes "deer in the headlights" reaction, there is so much more to explore ....you will get hooked to other european bands like Epica and previous bands from Floor, projects from Ayreon ( Dutch mastermind when it comes to progressive rock) so buckle up and enjoy the ride......hugs from the Netherlands :)
I’m so happy to have you here. I swear I crack up laughing at my faces when I’m making the thumbnail for these videos. Y’all must think I’m nuts 😂
@@thequestionqueens i.prefer the term " pleasantly disturbed" instead of nuts ;) ,keep the posts coming...Nightwish evokes such deep emotions xx
I've only got one thing to say:
Best. Banshee. Wail.
EVER.
@TheQuestionQueens: What you hear in this video is known as "chromatic sliding." Basically, you can change pitches with a voice, a brass instrument like a trombone or trumpet (trombones have an actual slide, which is how they are played), or even a stringed instrument, like a guitar or violin, when a string is struck or slid across (think a bow for a violin), and the other hand slides up or down the vibrating string. Most guitars have a "whammy bar" that when used produces that "sliding up or down" sound as well. But Floor is very, very good at basically using her breath control and her vocal cords to go from one note up or down, and "slide" to the end note.
Believe it or not, Floor actually slides twice: In the final note before the breakdown, she slides down, and then she slides up, going from a relatively low note, all the way up to that very high "banshee wail" note.
The slides are called a "chromatic slide" because in music, you have notes that are a certain pitch, and then you have a flat note, which is lowered a half-step (or, if you will, an "in-between note" between that note and the one below), or a sharp note, which is raised a half-step (same thing for a flat note, but going up instead of down). If you want to hear the notes in a chromatic scale individually, play the keys on a piano. The white keys are the actual notes, the black keys are either flats or sharps, depending if you are ascending (going up) or descending (going down) in pitch. One other thing to say is that a flat note can be another note's sharp note, and vice-versa. For instance, an A-flat, which is what it sounds like, is also G-sharp. A-sharp is also B-flat, and so on. And a "chromatic slide" is stringing all the notes played or sung, from one to another, and not differentiating between individual notes -- there isn't a gap in-between notes, the pitch simply changes going up or going down. And that's what you hear Floor do here, along with Marko, the bassist.
Welcome to the Nightwish trip down the Rabbit Hole, Enjoy the Changes Explore the Tangents " Floor is an Empathic Person Sometimes she cannot look directly at the Audience because She will Cry. Good Luck and Take Care.
Nightwish Army USA (Penn) division, I love watching you get hooked on Nightwish while having Floorgasm's. FYI: we feel it to
I’m so glad you all feel it so you know why I’m rambling 😂
