Heline is the only person I have seen so far that didn't need the Marko missing subtitles translation 🙂
And Marko is the only person I have ever seen that has Floor as a backing singer.
Hello Heline. I have really enjoyed this reaction. I knew you would see Troy on the flute toward the end. He can play many instruments as you probably know. I am tour manager for Nightwish and always enjoy these performances by Marko. Thank you for this and Floor is still working on her Finnish. Kippis, from Sweden. RA (NW)
You are delightful,thank you young Finnish Woman.
Finns are very like New Zealanders in so many ways.
Thank you !!
😊🤗❤
You introduced me to Nightwish a few years ago. For that you have my eternal love!
Thank you for translating that certain part of Marko! I always wondered what he was saying.
kiitos...kiva reaktio...that was all my Finnish for today..hahaha.
Thank you for translating.👍
hi heline. nice to see you doing reaction videos again. very cool. very yetro tullish. thank you for this. 🚴♂
Hi Sly, I'm 100% with you ! Heline does is so well. Interesting and fun.
A great reaction video Heline. I'm quite a recent fan of Nightwish and it was great to hear the voice of Marco on this track. The low Whistle on this track adds so much more emotion to the track as does Floor. Many thanks for sharing.
I'm no musician, but also non-native english speaker from Switzerland. I absolutely get what you said about listening to Music vs. Lyrics. NW's Lyrics are most often long-winded very abstract cobbled toether pieces ot Sentences. As much as my English is good enough for everyday use, as much do I struggle with that Style of Lyrics. If the Music gets me either going or relaxed, whatever needed, it's good Music for me. I can humm or sing Melodies and hear the full Instrumental in my Head Years and Years and never being bothered about not knowing all of the Lyrics or even understand their Meaning....
greetings from Switzerland
I'm not sure but I believe Troy has multiple sizes of Low & Tin Whistles and this was his biggest Low Whistle in his collection
Quite right. He has the whole range but I think I've only seen him play Irish low Whistle (my memory is hazy but I think it's low Dvflat) and one of the standard higher whistles (though I'm not sure I've ever seen what key it's in)
About Troy's vibrato... He's basically a piper and with that instrument has no way to modulate the air pressure. Any vibrato has to come from his fingers, so that is the way he does it on the low whistle. He uses a piper's grip so this is the easy way for him to play any wind instrument.
It was so great, and the low whistle rally carried the melody & and added sweet light notes during the last section.
Thank you Heline ! I like this song, like Marko and especially liked your personal comments which inspired me to re-watch that legendary Tampere concert. And memories came back of walking through that interesting city, around Ratina-Stadium, Moomin museum and enjoying fine days in Finland 👏👍🤘
Hi, great response, greetings 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hello Heline, What a great song to react to. I'm the same way. I listen to the music, more than lyrics. Even something I have heard a million times. Love your channel !!!! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦🍻🍻🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
The Tampere concert was an incredible spectacle, it was an honor to see it there
Check out the official video too! Nice reaction , greatings from Hungary.
You say flute in modern music and I think of Ayreon right away. A good one to check out is Ayreon - Valley of the Queens (live).
She allready reacted to it
@@galadballcrusher8182 Indeed, and she did it very well imo. Also it's kind of a "double-header" as collab with Elvann 👍
I've seen a vid of that where Floor plays the flute.
Thanks for this nice reaction. It comes across as really honest and real, there are so many reactions that are fake, i.e. "acted". You say you're more and more excited to see something new. Do you know the band Eluveitie? Folk metal with many contrasts, many instruments and also two flutes! The song "Rebirth" would be my recommendation if you really want to hear something different.
I've heard something by Eluveitie quite a while back. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll write that down for myself!
Marko had a really good back-up singer!
That specific whistle is a Bass Bb. I've got one, and it really does stretch even large hands to play.
Hello Heline! Many thanks for translating the "missing bit" 🙂
Joo, Ratina 2015 Ennen kiertueen alkua, 23000 taisi olla katsojia - t.s aikas täynnä😃 Lämppäreinä Somata Arctica ja Children of Bodom. Troyn pilli oli muistaaksen Olson Low D?
Hi Heline , Great Song , I don't usually pay alot of attention to the lyrics , I listen to the Instruments mostly , and use parts of the lyrical content as triggers to do certain things on guitar .. Then , I try to understand what the Song is about after ..
2015, Nightwish 20v. Terveisiä Porvoosta!
I know what you're saying. You're a musician so it's obvious you'll focus on the music arrangements first whereas vocal trainers focus on the vocals then people like me focus on the whole but you did an excellent reaction
For story, check the official music video of the same song...
Being native American we call it a wind instrument it's so pretty felt like I was back in time this was beautiful your cute too keep up good work check out MARY J YOUNG BLOOD she native American and plays the flute
You are so adorable. 😍
I'm in no way a musician, but I definitely listen to the instruments (including the vocals) first. I might not even know all the lyrics to some songs I really like, until I pull them up much later. Kind of funny, considering I work with written text a lot outside of music.
I am on board with you in terms of perceiving music. The music itself should be enough to tell a story, not just the lyrics. That's why we have minors and majors, themes, leitmotifs, tempos, time signatures and so on, for different moods, expressions and emotions.
You will really like Elvenjig and Elvenpath by Nightwish! Also, Elan.
Love this song!! Love Nightwish, so much appreciation for their talents and genius.
Always curious in reactions of your professionals skills🤗🌷❤️
👍🤗
Marko was singing in English, with a heavy Finnish accent, so it's hard for me to catch all the words. It's the same with Floor, but she's usually more understandable.
High Northern Arctic nights
This is you in the right scales
Love your exotic face
Wish,
in the Magicians nights⭐️
i tend to latch onto the rhythm section, bass especially, but, powerful [not necessarily "loud"] vocals will get to me Floor Jansen and recently Dany Villarreal singing Crimson Queen, and no, i'm not a musician. I liked the smile you had seeing your old home town.
Marko wrote the music while with his former band Tarot. It didn't really fit with them. Tuomas heard him playing it one day, and decided it would make a good song and wrote the lyrics about a lonely lighthouse keeper.
I noticed you didn't mind cutting it off as Floor was about to congratulate Marco. In too big of hurry for that...
Sos muy linda y encantadora. Saludos desde Argentina.
Tes yeux 🎄🤩🌠
Moi Heline!
Et ole tainnut vielä reagoida tällaiseen videoon kuin
NIGHTWISH - ELVENJIG/ELVENPATH Buenos Aires 2018
Elvenpath on Nightwishin debyyttialbumin aloitusraita, siis vuodelta 1997.
Decades kiertueella lisäsivät alkuun kappaleen Elvenjig, Troylle lisää hommia. Se on käsittääkseni melko suoraan otettu traditionaaliselta kuulostavasta kappaleesta, (olen sen joskus kuullut mutta en muista kappaleen nimeä,) jota soitti aikoinaan Iona-yhtye, jossa Troy soitti mm. Uilleann pipeseja.
Kiitti! Pistetään muistiin 😊
There is some wonderful flute in the acoustic version of Apex by Unleash the Archers. Check out the video, its called Acoustipex.
I think if you look at how Troy plays it you will see that hi is not using his finger tips but the middle parts (don't know the English name of that part) of his fingers.
yes, he's using piper's grip. My fingers are too short for that one, too.
It depends a lot on the actual piece of music what I listen to "mostly" or "first", and to a smaller degree on my current mood. In many pieces, it varies - Sting's "Mad About You" for example, that moment of transition from his voice to the oboe being one moment where my "attention" shifts as well from singing to instrumentation (as I suspect might be intended 😄)
Though I'm pretty sure that in most cases overall, I listen to the voice first and foremost. At least judging from how different a purely instrumental recording sounds to me later (when I have the chance to listen to one).
Hi Heline. Can you do a Live stream with only game music? Lots of love from Sweden 🥰🥰🎶🎶🖖🖖
Good backing should go far ..👍
🤩👌💥💯🎼
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
😊🇫🇮💙🪄🎼✨💯🤘
I think you're supposed to use piper's grip on a low whistle. I don't have a low D though, never tried it myself 🙃
Still too short fingers! I've had a 10yr old student that had longer fingers than I have 😂
@@HelineFay at least (considering whistles) one can always have a smaller one! I got an mk pro in G and it fits perfectly to my slender fingers xD. Too bad there's no such thing as mini-piano - a mini-keys steinway or something 😅
And i am pretty sure main reason Troy favors finger vibrato over air pressure os cause it is also applicable to ullian pipes where air pressure can not be used
You have to catch Nightwish with Tarja.
Hi Heline, I am sorry I can't tell you how I listen to music as a non-musician, because, as a former semi-pro (pro attitude, never made a fortune, hahaha) vocalist in a hard rock/metal band, whom was also heavily involved in our live mix, and studio production/mixing of our recordings, am always drawn to the overall production/mix and vocals first, when listening to something I haven't heard before. I do however, find that after I am familiar with a particular piece of music I revert back to just enjoying it, rather than "critiquing" it. p.s You could easily pass as Marco's daughter (compliment). I always enjoy your video's. Cheers!
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
you really should react to the greatest show on earth by nightwish from tempere. watch to the very end. you won't regret it.
Tuli tää video vastaan niin olihan se katsottava. Toivottavasti saat paljon katsojia kanavallesi. Terveisiä Mäntyharjulta. 😊
For me, as a german, i think it also has to do with the fact that english is not my native language, that i mostly listen to vocals just as another instrument and don't care about the lyrics itself. If its sung in german, mostly i just directly understand the lyrics of course without having to think about it, and often i wished i wouldn't understand them because if they are not that great, they make maybe an else musicwise good song sound worse to me.
You are forgiven. When I work on editing articles/books, focusing on the meaning differs from focusing on spelling and language errors. I concentrate mostly on music at first listen, especially with songs that are not Dutch. Even with English songs it is sometimes hard to understand them because pronunciations and meanings are different from one country to the other. However, if I think the lyrics are bad, I cannot like a song, even if the composing is beautiful.
Good music, but kinda tame in comparison to the Jethro Tull reactions you've done.
Voisit katsoa videon loppuun. Muutama sekunti jäi pois mutta ne kertovat bändin sisäisestä tunnelmasta paljon. Sinä tiedät yhtyeen hyvästä hengestä mutta kaikki seuraajasi ehkä ei. No sinun kanavasi ja sinun tapasi. Hyvää kevään odotusta.
It's not Nightwish without Tarja ¬.¬
As an American I never understood our insistence the world speak our language yet so few of us try and learn any other languages?
It's not exclusively due the US. It begins with the British Empire, spreading all over the world due to thieir colonies, which in greater or lesser degrees still speak the language. Some of these colonies turned into the following countries: Canada, New Zealand, Australia, The United States of America, South Africa, the Republic of Ireland, Guiana, several island countries in the Caribbean Sea, as well as other former colonies in Africa (we've already mentioned South Africa this is about the other ones, like Kenya, Zimbabwe, etc.) and in Asia where they speak several languages, English being one of them, as a sort of "lingua franca", as happens in India, Pakistan, Singapore and other former British Colonies.
After World War II, a weakened British Empire began granting independence to their colonies (not the US, which got it by fighting long before this time), though keeping close ties with most of them through the Commonwealth, but the war certainly weakened the United Kingdom, and practically destroyed most European countries , while the same did not happen the US, which emerged from the war unscathed (except for the single attack on Pearl Harbor), and with a position of preeminence (with the Soviet Union beside it) which made even those countries which had not been part of the British Empire consider the need to communicate in what was now a world-wide "lingua franca", the English language.
Strangely enough, the language which most people would need to learn to communicate is one with a rather complicated relationship between the spoken language and the written language. That is why spelling competitions are somewhat unusual on countries whose writing is clearly and unmistakably related to the spoken language. Spanish, Turkish and Japanese, for instant can be read and pronounced well by someone who knows nothing about the language, providing that both languages use the same sounds for the letters and for letter combinations. In British English the word “through" has four letters "ough" to r et present the "F" sound. For learners whose mother tongue is phonetically straight-forward (like Spanish, etc), when sending an English letter for the first time, they haven't got a clue as to how to pronounce it, and often their guess is wrong.
