![[No child should feel like this] Nightwish - Dead Boys Poem Reaction](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/aMJU5ZNrH3c/mqdefault.jpg)
I truly commend you on your approach to this song. I think that I can speak for most Nightwish fans when I say that you gave this performance the attention that it deserved and we as the Nightwish Army, appreciate it. Please do the same for The Poet And The Pendulum, and The Greatest Show On Earth. You will be glad that you did.
Well done !!!!!
I concur!
I also wholeheartedly concur.
I concur as well, Eddy! 🤘🇳🇱🤘
I absolutely will be approaching both of those songs in the same manner. I am so glad and grateful I took the time and not only did you all not mind but enjoyed it along with me so I fully understood.
Happy Birthday Floor. I'm so glad that Nightwish found you. Every time I see Tuomas smile at you during a song my heart is glad for Tuomas. You keep his dream alive.
Nightwish members are born for each other ❤
It’s absolutely amazing how a band can draw out the deepest emotions from a person to shed a tear. You are not alone as I to did hearing this song a few times over. Floor’s singing, Emppuu’s solos the entire band singing to lyrics as they play. This is what music as a whole should do to the listener. And put such a band on top of the list of great bands as Nightwish has done over the years
Drinking my morning coffee together with your reaction to Nightwish music is becoming a pleasant habit. And it creates addiction :)))
It must be said that many of us ended up listening to Nightwish's music in difficult moments of our lives, and the effect was and is absolutely positive. Through the way he writes and composes, Tuomas forces us to introspect, and through this to reach that inner peace that many (me, at least) do not hope to have access to. There is a paradox here, because it is obvious that he does this only to express himself, the tumult, his inner ocean, and he did not intend to transform us in any way. And if you think about it, how likely is it to find your own way to yourself, listening to a song?... It strengthens my belief that nothing in this world is accidental.
Gabriel, your command of English is truly excellent, you are approaching Tuomas competence. I applaud.
@@572Btriode Thanks, but it's not exactly my merit: I use google translate, then I correct it if I don't like how it "sounds" in my ears :)
@@gabriel.bardac I understand Gabriel, but it is still very good.
I do the same with French because I live here, but my French chums tell me it is often very strange indeed and I don't know how it should "sound" even after almost 11 years of residence, it's a very isolated house, I have no neighbours. But I do have a native Romanian here who speaks fluent English and French. . . . . . . . .I'm a very lazy old fart then. 🙂
You gave me such a smile with your comment. Thank you, Gabriel ❤️
Your tenacity and curiosity lead you to the best reaction to this song I have watched ever . Thank you so much you just made my evening .
Thank you for hanging in there with me, Robert. I know it took much longer than just popping it on and reacting to it but the experience and knowledge were so worth it to me. I'm very grateful for your thanks and you made my evening by letting me know.
I concur. Most in depth reaction yet.
What Robert Sheeler said.
If you think this one is special, wait until you do The Poet and the Pendulum! You must know the background of the song before you listen to it and once you do so, and listen to it, be prepared for more tears. Tuomas is generational, meaning an artist like him only comes around once every 100 or so years. I know that when anyone listen's to NW for the first time, they go straight to Floor, and that is understandable, but for me, it is Tuomas and his genius that I gravitate towards.
Have you listened to Sleeping Sun yet? The melody is the most beautiful I've ever heard. I've read the it is Floor's favorite song. Damn, I love these guys!
I’m not sure she’s quite ready for Poet yet.
Poet and the Pendulum might just kill this wonderful lady. Absolutely not ready yet.
Too early
She has not done Sleeping Sun yet. That melody touched parts of my heart I didn't know existed.
Yes, She does need to wait for Pendulum.
I also think that it is still too early for Debbi to take on the poet.
Tuomas is the musical genius, but when Floor joined the band, they found not only one of the best female vocalists, but found a stage presence that magically transports her audience into the music, into the performance.
Couldn't have put it better myself.
Spot on 👌
Tuomas is an empath, Floor is an empath and you are an empath - this is how you feel so clearly and strongly their creations and performances of their music. For that matter everyone can feel it also in various levels. For what I have seen plenty of your reactions to Nightwish music makes me want to say, that you are truly so beautiful outside (a global scale beautiful woman) and also so beautiful inside (the things you project from inside of you) - so please continue to share your warmth, feelings and light for us when ever possible and thank you for the ones you have already done, makes my heart joy of all of them.
Thank you so much for your kindness. You seriously just overwhelmed me. Thank you ❤️
Another great "tissue box" Nightwish song is "Sleeping Sun" (live from Tampere). I never thought I could get so choked up and emotional by a song about a solar eclipse!
Might be my absolute favorite song from Nightwish. Floor's interpretation is so powerful. What a powerful ending.
You are gaining a very deep level of understanding of Tuomas' feelings for his music and fans. It is rare for an artist to bare his soul. Especially a supposed metal artist.
What a beautiful and heart felt reaction. This one gets me every time I hear it. Great job on the research too.
First note from Floor's lips, instant sobbing. Masterpiece. ✌&❤ from Illinois, Debbie!
🤘😎
Beautiful God bless
Tuomas Holopainen is a master..In many ways. 16/6 i am traveling with my campervan from Sweden to the East of Finland..Kitee where Nightwish saga starten back in 1995-96..At the same time i'm gonna se them in concert there. It's going to be epic for sure and I cant wait. Thanks for your honest reaction..and for sharing Nightwish. Hugs from Sweden.
Thank you for helping me understand and get the backstory on this song!
I've just watched it 50+ times but never informed myself.
Then again I don't have a bad contience about that because I love the song and Toumas says that every listener must make their own interpretation of the songs.
Much Love to You and Ukraine
💙💛💙🌻🌻🌻
Thank you, DS. 💙💛💙🌻🌻🌻
I'm fall in Tears with Our decades in the sun acoustic in arena gliwice. Just... So Beautiful.
This was the first time I ever saw Emppu actually looking teary eyed, for some reason, this was also where I noticed how beautifully blue his eyes are. When it comes to the song, Floor manages to convey so much emotion through her voice that it's heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time. Relate the lyric to Tuomas as a child? A lonely, misunderstood, lost child? Ooff... It's hard to listen without crying, but then there is the second part, the "light" that he found through his music, his piano\keyboard, which became his muse, his strength.
The line that always kills me is "I wish I didn't feel for you anymore" with that double cadence, like the boy and adult Tuomas in one
So very well explained and expressed.
Emppu knows exactly what the song is about I believe, the only time you see him saddened.
A wonderful reaction. Thank you.
Thank you!
This was the right approach to this masterpiece.
Thank you for your effort to understand the things around and in this beautifull piece of art.
Absolutly great reaction.
Happy Birthday Queen ......long live the Queen
The cry in her voice when she says Lonely @ 17:14 is one of my favorite Floor moments
Hello from New Zealand ..Nightwish can make your soul soar and make it cry ...we have all felt both ..you are not alone.
🥰❤️🥰
The testament of Tuomas Holopainen, professional sad boi and underappreciated poet.
Floor's ability to make songs sound better than they are is just amazing.
Thank you for this. Nightwish is unique. There won't ever be any group of warm people forming a band, like they once did.
This is a beautiful song with lovely lyrics. I am happy for Tuomas because with Floor he found the perfect interpeteur for this song. Floor lives every song with her whole body.
Beautiful reaction. True and Heartfelt. 🙏
❤️
Finally, you went for it. Brave and powerful woman....I needed 3 tissue boxes.
Master Tuomas Holopainen = Mozart , Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, Schubert.
This Is...His Real Level
Great reaction. I really appreciate you doing some research beforehand. The lyrics and the backstory really emphasize how emotional this song is. And Floor’s vocals are impeccable. Your next reaction should be Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from this same concert. ❤😢🤘🤘
Oh my gosh, indeed. This is another of my many favorite Nightwish performances. There is so much emotion... in the band... in Floor's magnificent voice... in Tuomas's and Empuu's faces... and it bleeds out of this beautiful song into our very souls. Perfection incarnate. And thank you for this lovely reaction.
Hi there
Again your reaction, more than the song actually, made me shed a tear or two
Greetings from Sweden
It's really beautiful when I remember that Tuomas said that this song was probably the best song he wrote for Nightwish. He didn't know what was about to come. To be honest it was my favourite Nightwish song back then too. It's still one of my favourites. Your reaction and prelude was amazing! I'm now 100% sure that your reactions and research to the two masterpieces 'Poet and the pendulum' and 'The greatest show on earth' are going to be two of the best if not THE best reaction videos about the music of Nightwish. After 20 years in the music industry I feel that those two belongs in the same page with the greatest songs ever written. In the same page with 'Bohemian rhapsody', 'Imagine', 'Sound of silence', 'Comfortably numb', 'Stairway to heaven' etc. Take your time to react to those two. No need to rush. Nightwish has so many amazing songs for you to discover. Greetings from Nightwish army Greece department 🤘🇬🇷
Thank you 🥰❤️🥰
Beautiful reaction. Your respect for the band and their fans is so special. If you look at the artwork behind the band, you'll see a little boy and swans. In Finnish mythology and folklore, the swan is the divine messenger between the living and the dead. Nightwish pays such exquisite attention to every part of their performance and message.
I knew the swans meant something but I didn’t know at the time of watching it. Thank you for telling me ❤️

Dear Debbie
Your reaction and your empathy touches me deeply. I wish I could just take you in my arms and hug you hard, which unfortunately the great distance and all the water in between doesn't allow.
There are few people whose reactions move me to tears... But you are one of those few, very special people who can touch you as deeply with your reactions as you can.
And as others have said, you really should prepare for "The Poet and the Pendulum", that is, do some background research beforehand.
And I'm already telling you that dealing with this masterpiece will not be easy.
But I'm sure the whole Nightwish Army will have your back if you deal with this.
Many greetings from Germany
the lady
Here's a HUGE {{{{{{{{{{{{{HUG}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} from me to you. Just your kindness warms my heart - truly. Thank you for such a beautiful wish and I will do all my research and be as prepared as I can be for that song. I think I will create a series for the Pendulum, with the backstory, the previous singer Tarja, the letters that were public and again come to you all for your commentary; you all know the band and artists so well that it truly helps me. Then, after that, I'll do the song. If you have any other suggestions please feel free to let me know.
@@thequestionqueens Dear Debbie
Thank you, thank you for your words. And I'd like to give one more hug back across the great sea that's between our continents.
I actually have another reaction suggestion for the future: "The Greatest Show on Earth"
This masterpiece is less strenuous, but an important milestone of Nightwish. There are two versions of this, but they differ well from each other.
One is the Wembley, London version and the other is the Tampere, Finland version.
They differ in parts 1 and 3, and Richard Dawkins is also present in person in the London version.
Only one thing would be important: show the lyrics for both versions. Parts of the lyrics, narrated by Richard Dawkins, are a bit too quiet and are drowned out by the music, making them very difficult to understand, especially in Part 3.
Otherwise let yourself be enchanted, it's really worth it.
Many greetings from Germany
the lady
Wow! Just wow! What a great reaction, with great analysis and research. The army steered you right and I think you felt and understood this song as well as any first-time listener ever has. Amazing! I can’t wait to see what you do for The Poet and the Pendulum. (and no, based on this reaction, in my opinion, you may not be quite ready for that one, yet) TP&TP is one of my all-time favorite songs, and one of the most emotional pieces lyrically and musically, ever. Loved this!
I’m still holding off on that song but when I do get there, it will be in similar fashion so I can fully understand. Thank you for your kind words and I’m glad you enjoyed it with me.
Every thought, the music I write...
Everything, a wish for the Night.... 🥹
This is such an sensitive poem, oh my god, every time goosebumps.
Tuomas is a Master composer,
this is pure emotion.
And the melody so beautiful ✨
Floor Sang it as a STORY...😢
Thank you dear Debby for your nice words...🇳🇱🌷🙋🏼♀️
❤️
Hi again it stevein uk huge nightwish fan .glad u reacted to my request thank you.as i said in comments its such a poweeful emotional song .in my eyes its one of bestsongs ever composed and written .yes we all hve problems i been through alot to like most people but il live. Anyway enough of me rambling on.all the best debbie .
There is a nightwish vid with a fan holding a cardboard sign saying “thank you for the emotions Toumas “, it has stuck with me, it’s so true.
Like you said Debbie, it helps when you have a goddess singing for you. It certainly does. Far more than that though - it's the chemistry of the whole band. They "get" each other. When they found Floor, they struck absolute gold. It's like she completes them, and they her. Tuomas now has his own personal muse, someone who can not only sing but *express* whatever it is he's writing.
As to you, I'm stunned. I've been watching them all, and geez did you ever take the deep dive! For someone who's been "living under a musical rock", you've really *immersed yourself* in this band. It's truly impressive how far you've come and how fast! Very few reactors have taken it to the level you have. Kudos!!!
Thank you so much for your appreciation and your kindness, Jeff. ❤️
@@thequestionqueens Well deserved! I think you can see a LOT of people agree.
This is my all time favorite of Nightwish, thank you for doing it justice with your reaction.
You’re so very welcome ❤️
As soon as Floor started singing my eyes went all misty. One thing someone pointed out on Emppu’s guitar solo…the expression on his face when he finishes…not his usual smiling, happy visage. Maybe that demonstrates the power of this song….it even got to him.
For Tuomas himself this song means a lot.
He has said that this is the “mother of all Nightwish songs, about himself and how he wants people to remember him as when he passes away.
He said
”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.”
NWSU 🤘😎🤘.
All of their emotions were felt. It was tremendous. 🥰❤️🥰
Well, in my opinion is well known that "Poet...", "The Greatest..." and "Ghost Love..." ARE the holy triad for NW. But this song is right there, and this particular rendition is brutally perfect. The execution, the feeling, the sound itself, it's magnificent. Someone said "it belongs to a f***ing museum" and he's right. Cheers from Buenos Aires!!!
Tears roll down my face every time because one way or another I relate to the music, the lyrics and the poem. So frigging beautiful like you said.
Can't wait for you to listen to 'Nemo' which to me has one of the best orchestration ever towards the end of the song, and yes, combined with our Valkyrie Goddess/Queen that's so frigging beautiful too.
I am a 61 year old man and I think I listened/watched this absolute MASTERPIECE over a 100 times. And every time the tears roll down my cheeks. I can't control it...and I don't want to... Greetings from the Netherlands.
Greetings, Netherlands - thank you for being here, Mario.
I know right? Once you know everything about it, it gets real doesn't it? Sad, beautiful and moving. Tears with a smile. I loved your reaction to this. You did great.
Great reaction, Debbie! I have listened to that song probably 50 times and it is still amazing on every level. Keep them coming!
Watching this with someone who understands it as more than just a good song is special - thankyou x
You’re so welcome, Jim 🥰
So beautiful every time.
Perfect for those melancholy days. There is hope in the song for me too because Tuomas put his feelings into beautiful music, and is still here to keep blessing us with his gifts; so many times I read how Nightwish has helped people through difficult times in their lives.
Thank you Tuomas.
And, Happy Birthday Floor
Nightwish (Tuomas) = master of emotions!
Nightwish is always more than just listening to music, it's always an experience!
Thank you for doing an absolutely brilliant background job with these two videos of this song. This (these) is one of the best reaction videos ever. Thank you!
In the background (led screen) you saw swans. According to old Finnish mythology (from the time before Christianity), a big bird picks up the soul of a dying person and carries it to another world.
A Finnish priest told me that it is still somewhere in Finns' genes, because almost every home has some Bird-themed artwork (painting, sculpture, etc.). If you ask a Finn why, we can't answer. It's just an inner feeling that it has to be this way...
Swans have always been the most beautiful creature ever made. I didn’t know this about swans until the comments. Thank you so much 🦢
Come on Nightwish Army
You know the drill.
When someone is sad during and after a song, we all attack. With a group hug. So this one is for you Debbie. We have all been there.
{{{{{{Hugs}}}}}}
As a Nigthwish fan, This song is always surrounding my thoughts. I mean, Tuomas's Soul is literally NAKED here!
Maybe I'm wrong, but I find the "Dead Boy" sentence as a different meaning of which it seems to have in a simple interpretation, I think it's about his "lost innocence" (Dead= lost, Boy=innocence). I think this is one of the mosts Deep songs ever written.
Thank you for this reaction, all Nightwish songs start in the mind of the Maestro Tuomas. Floor can push those emotions like nobody.
You’re very welcome, Allen ❤️
"Every thought, the music I write.." just beautiful 😭❤️
Beautiful song, beautiful reaction I've seen many people cry at this one🇬🇧
Powerful and so well crafted too! This should be on their setlist always. This is my first comment after subbing you last week - and you are obviously very genuine and heartfelt. But I am worried for your health - Nightwish is a pretty powerful band. Just seen a guy cry who I sub to aswell during a song from the latest album 'How's the Heart' - he thought he was less manly for doing so but his Wife quite rightly told him what a sign of strength it was! Take good care of yourself 😃 x
Thank you for taking the time to comment and to be honest I worry about my health too but life is short and in the heart of this night, after that song, the words I would want to say....is she lived the brightest life even when the darkness came to shadow her.
Every time... I see this song I can't help but my eyes get wet. So much beauty in this song, like you said. Tuomas is such a great composer. And a godess singing certainly helps.
Your approach to these songs is so meticulus, you prepare yourself so well. With this approach and preparation you can enjoy any of the deeper songs to the fullest, including the Poet. Thanks for this reaction.
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement ❤️
Great reaction Debbie. This was also my first time hearing that song and seeing the video. It hit me extra hard because 20 years ago my little sister was pregnant with identical twin boys and one of them didn't make it. Every time I look at my nephew that survived I can't help but think how it was supposed to be two of them and I get sad. The twin that died only lived 21 minutes. 😪
Oh David, I am so sorry. I never understand why some things happen the way they do. I am truly sorry for your loss and those precious 21 minutes just touched my heart so deeply.
Do you know the Nightwish song the crow, the owl and the dove? Brings me a lot of tears every time, but it helps me.
I cannot thank you enough for doing a little research for this one. It's one of those performances that has even more power to it once you understand the motivation for it. Please, Please, keep up the Nightwish reactions, it's a rewarding Journey, one I remember taking myself not that long ago 😀 This, I must say, is one of my favourite Nightwish performances
I’m a little sad because I didn’t do this kind of deep dive with ghost love score and storytime. I still don’t even know the lyrics to either one. That’s kinda unacceptable.
Absolutely beautiful song... geeze dude, this band is AMAZING!!! Thanks for reading the poem first before playing the song, Debbie... game me chills.😮💨
Excellent reaction, Debbie! Thanks so much..... please, do not change your approach to this journey of NIGHTWISH. 🤘💖
Thank you so much, Jim ❤️
A great reaction to one of the greatest songs - it was such an emotional experience to watch and listen to! Thank you for all the background homework, dedication and attention to detail which really takes it to the next level, along with insightful comments from the followers it helps us all enjoy, understand and appreciate Tuomas's masterful creation even more. Greetings and big thanks from a TX NW fan!
Thank you, TX! I appreciate you. ❤️
@@thequestionqueens Thanks! And BTW, like someone else here alluded to before, I also think that you have within just a couple of weeks become one of the absolute top NW reactors on UA-cam! Kudos to you, amazing work so far and looking forward to many more in the future! ❤️
Toumas really puts his heart into what he's written. Ocean born does not even get close to how good he is.
Keitos all.
Thank you Debbie! I really loved your take on this and the hole reaction🥰
You’re most welcome, my friend. ❤️
This song brings me to tears every single time! A lot of the lyrics speak to me...as an artist...I want people to see my passion for nature. How I love the color of leaves on tree in the fall...animals grazing in a field....the beauty of a stream and a waterfall. I sometimes paint from my memories, how big and majestic everything was to a 10 year old boy. There is a Nightwish song titled:
Endless Forms Most Beautiful
As an artist...that's how I see things. It's how I have always seen things. I love Tuomas' vision of the world...and how he transforms it into music! He is brilliant...
Glad you did the reaction the way you did. It touches your soul..your ocean soul. Deep. ❤️ Floor is the one that put so much emotions to the lyrics. Luv her so for sharing that with us.
Justice is never done to this masterpiece by those reactors that just jump in and listen to it,...they might feel SOME of the emotion of the song (you really can't help but do so), but they don't get the FULL effect of it...WELL DONE!
The same goes for "Poet and The Pendulum"...
Thank you so much, I take your compliment straight as a hug around my heart. ❤️
My favourite Nightwish song, and I enjoyed your reaction very much. Tuomas' lyrics/compositions and Floors always stunning interpretations have helped me get through the past five years of battling cancer. I always turn to Nightwish when things are getting tough. And today I found out that my cancer treatment is no longer working, so I knew that your reaction was going to be very emotional for me. And it was. Like so many others, I would love to have an opportunity to thank Tuomas (and Floor) personally for providing me with an escape from time to time. Thank you again for your reaction.
Please hang in there, Adrian. I am so grateful that I could give you something special to take your mind into the place you wanted and needed to be. Cancer is just terrible and I am sorry that you are battling it. You have today, please fill it with beauty and smiles and love as much as I can, I am sending all three your way. ❤️
Un salut de l'armée NIGHTWISH de France, un grand merci Debbie pour cette excellente réaction et pour la recherche que vous avez effectuée avant d'écouter la chanson. J'adore votre approche du plus grand groupe du monde pour moi, j'attends chaque jour votre programmation avec impatience. Vos réactions sont charmantes et pleine de spontanéité, merci encore et continuez ainsi, ne changez rien n'écoutez pas les esprits mesquins........
Thank you so very much ❤️
Absolutely beautiful song, Floor's stage presence is so moving and a great reaction Debbie.
Our Decades in the Sun & Swanheart are 2 more stunning songs.
The Poet and the Pendulum I agree is too soon for you.
Since every song Tuomas writes has a story behind, i love to know what he had in mind, that's what's make Nightwish so special, their music. Thank you again for a heartwarming reaction to this beautiful song ❤️
You’re so very eroding, Piia ❤️
Thank you Debbie. I have never heard anyone give this song the in depth reaction that this song deserves. The fact that you took the time to find out the true meaning of the song gave you the insight that a lot of reactors miss.
I always look forward to your reactions. They are thoughtful and charming.
You’re so very welcome, Martin ❤️
Its just perfection. How he knew this when he wrote and composed this we will never know. A genuine glimpse into the mind of a genius. What a great great reaction to this masterpiece. Thank you so much for letting us experience this with you. In my opinion both Tarja and Floor do justice to this masterpiece live.
I can’t believe he did this at 23. Definitely a glimpse into the poetic genius Toumas is and has become.
This is a special song that often brings me to tears, and especially this performance. It was written long before Floor joined the band, but the empathy she brings to the song's performance is powerful. It's a wonderful composition. Thanks for the genuine reaction.
An exquisite song. A stunning performance. A beautiful reaction. Thank you Debbie.
You’re most welcome, Waylander45. ❤️
Hi Debbie! My Nightwish journey is quite a bit longer than yours, but different since you took the courage to open your soul about it on UA-cam.
Never ever through my journey have I witnessed a reactor showing this kind of respect and admiration for the band Nightwish, its composer and Poet Tuomas Holopainen and its Valkyrie Goddess front woman Floor Jansen like you, Debbie.
It is obvious that this band has conquered a very special place in your heart, and literally a very fragile heart at that.
To be honest I'm a bit worried about that fact, so please promise us that in all cases you take very good care of yourself especially when reacting to songs that deeply hit you in the feels.
The way you went about dealing with Dead Boys' Poem could in my opinion be an excellent blueprint for later on in your journey when you deal with The Poet and the Pendulum.
From the bottom of my heart I thank you for one of the finest half hours of my life.
All the best and much love from The Netherlands.
Oh my goodness, I am humbled by your kind words to me and I will promise to you that I will take care. I ended up listening to something peppy afterwards to lighten my heart a bit. I’ll do my very best with much respect and time spent on the two songs Pendulum and Greatest Show. Thank you for your comment, just made me so happy.
So great the lyrics, the music, the best voice...great reaction Debbie and thanks for the story behind this masterpiece...❤from the Netherlands
You’re so very welcome, JWS. ❤️
Thank you reaction to this amazing song the lyrics are of a pure genius I write this with blurry and wet eyes
❤️
You need to do Elvenjig/Elvenpath from the same concert. A more light hearted, fun song, IMHO. It shows the ways that Nightwish takes you up and down and all around, in individual songs and whole concerts.
That sounds perfect!
Thanks for including the back story on this one. The emotions are high all around. Blessings to you.
I feel your emotions through the screen. I've heard and seen this song/video so many times and it gets me every time. When I see someone reacting to it I cry every time as I know what's going on inside Tuomas head every time he performs it.
To me, that was the hardest part watching him sing it in the background. It was beautiful. ❤️
I had tears in my eyes as I shared your reaction to this Debbie. You have yet to react to 'TGSOE', but the overarching theme in that particular song is that it is an absolute miracle that all of us watching this won the lottery of life and are alive at this precise moment in time to share our emotions and feelings with each other. I feel blessed that I lived through my own traumatic experience in 2013 so that in 2017, when I first discovered Tuomas and his music, I was able to allow this incredible man to touch my heart. Thank you for your continued devotion and attention to detail Debbie, and I will see you on your next NW reaction. God Bless, Kevin.
Thank you so much, Kevin, for sharing and I’m sorry for what you’ve been through but so happy to see that you’ve taken a dark moment and found light from within it. It takes bravery and courage and a beautiful heart to do that. I’m so happy you shared these thoughts with me ❤️
This band is so extremely good at expressing feelings and you go so deep into the meaning and history of this song... it fits very well. Nightwish fans like me really appreciate how you deal with the background. Thank you.
You’re so very welcome, Peter.
That, Debbie was one of the best, or even the best reaction to this work. You did a truly brilliant job digging deeply into it. Not enough thumbs up available, one really is nowhere near enough. Nowhere near.
Richard. (AKA FV623)
(Real old fart Nightwish fan-boy, sliding rapidly to 80yo now.)
Happy 80 whole year celebration to you! Thank you for your comment earlier in the lyrics video and this one here. I appreciate you 🥰❤️🥰
@@thequestionqueens No, thank you Debbie, I greatly appreciate your time in replying, that's very kind and thoughtful.

How hard this one hit.
She's not going to survive poet and the pendulum.
This is such a beautiful piece
you do best nightwish reactions. keep it up girl and hei from finland
Thank you, Jaeger 🥰❤️🥰
A wonderful song and reaction Debbie. The whole Buenos Aires 2018 Decades World tour show is phenomenal with Floor breathing new life in to a number of Nightwish classics that pre-date her time with the band. My first watch and listen to Nightwish and Floor 12 months ago was "The Poet and the Pendulum" live from Wembley 2018. It was recommended to me by a friend. When you get to it look in to the back story beforehand. Suffice to say, since watching and listening to it I have been buried deep down the Nightwish rabbit hole. For me, Nightwish with Floor reaches places that nothing else can. Thank you. 🙏😊👍❤️
I’m so looking forward to the pendulum song and I’m going to approach that one like this one. I’m truly inspired by them.
I realy like the way you're doing this.
Very charming, authentic and respectful.
what a great reaction on this one, like always in relation to Nightwish 😉.
As a great fan, thx for sharing the passion for this kind of great music and art in the way of this depth you show. Wish you all the best!
greets from Austria
Thank you very much, Kevin ❤️
My favorite Nightwish song which I really like to sing myself as well.
Most beautiful and touching for me:
If only my heart had a home…
And you, I wish I didn’t feel for you anymore…
Don’t forget the tissues when you’re going to react to The Poet and the Pendulum
I’ll be filming that one from INSIDE a kleenex box - the warnings have been given so much that I’m super excited and equally scared of melting into a sobbing mess.
This was good training to make yourself ready for the poet and the pendulum and the greatest show on earth which for many is the most epic compositions tuomas has ever written
It’s going to be a huge undertaking when I do the Pendulum song and the Greatest one. I want to know and share everything as I go through that journey.
Great you got to this one and you appreciated it as it has to be.. Nightwish makes pieces of art and this is my favorite, and is difficult to put it there with Ghost Love Score (my personal ringtone) or Greatest Show on Earth (Absolute magic) or Poet and Pendulum (an explosion of feelings), they´re the greatest without a doubt cause thet enjoy doing what they give us so much, and when they feel they have to move on they do and they evolve to something better, Tuomas has all my admiration for taking what he has and make magic for us with it.. Queen Floor is also the cherry on top.. perfect combination.. keep rocking and stay safe!
Thank you so much, Randy.
Your way to work out the song touched me very much, thank you.
You’re so very welcome, Kelsea.
Lovely, Lovely reaction!! One of my top 5 Nightwish songs (Dead Boys Poem, Shoemaker, Ghost Love Score, Greatest Show on Earth, Poet and the Pendulum). Thank you for all the effort you put into both videos and how fantastic it was to see the results of that hard work in the emotions on your face as you experienced this. The onion ninja's get me every time I hear this song. Everyone has said most of what I would say but one point, on the video screen behind the band is a small boy holding up his arms to swans. In Finnish mythology swans are the creatures who guide your soul to the afterlife in Tuonela so very fitting. Take your time getting there but simialr research will serve you well with songs like Shoemaker, Greatest Show on Earth, and most definitely the big one, Poet and the Pendulum.
Those onion ninjas are brutal! 😂 but their visits are definitely sometimes warranted ❤️
Outstanding reaction.
I had a bit of an understanding of the background of the song. The time and effort you put into gathering all that you shared filled the gaps. Thank you
Definitely in the top five greatest Nightwish songs.
Ha ha, like it’s possible to pick five above all the others

Thank you!
Dear Debbie, this was one of the most heart-warming reaction to this song I have ever watched. I have to say, I am very grateful that you take the time to read the lyrics and learn the background before doing the reaction. For me this is a very new approach to reaction videos I have not seen before on UA-cam. Taking in consideration that you have been living "under a musical Rock" as you say it, this is very exceptional. It shows a deep appreciation for the meaning of music, rarely seen with other reactors.
You are awesome 😃 . I don't comment very often, since I have very little time (with job, wife and kids). But rest assured I am really loving what you are doing. Greetings from Germany!
Greetings, Germany 🇩🇪 I appreciate your kind words and you taking the time to comment. Just letting you know I read it and I appreciate you 🥰❤️🥰
I get what you mean about initially thinking this song was going to be sad. While it may bring tears to my eyes every time I hear it, it’s not sadness. It’s something so much more complex than that. It’s a sense of awe, and wonder, and appreciation that somebody could be so willing to bare their soul so openly and beautifully. A glimpse into the mind of a genius, and actually understanding what you see there in a way so profound that it can’t be expressed by words or music alone, but only through a perfect combination of the two and performed in such a way that you feel everything all at once. I think what makes this work as well as it does, though, is that the song is not asking for our sympathy or seeking a resolution to a problem. Rather, it simply puts on naked display the very core of this man’s being and expresses what is. No hopes and dreams, no pleas for understanding, just statements of rock solid honesty and truth. And it is. Beautiful.
Beautifully said, CaliBadgerDude. ❤️
Thank you for this wonderful and most emotional reaction video I have ever seen to the song. You show as much emotion here as the band themselves.🥰🥰
You’re so very welcome 🥹🥰
Happy birthday Floor 😇😇😇
Great reaction 👍👍👍
Glad you didn't do the studio version.
Tarja is not in the same class as the Goddess Floor IMO.
HAIL NIGHTWISH 😇😇
Truth, I’m gonna always lean more towards Floor… I can’t help it, I’m biased but with great reason!
