Elvenjig is a piece, originally called Jigs, that Troy brought with him from a former band, Iona. Elvenpath is the first song on the first album, Angels Fall First in 1997. The spoken part is the intro to the song on the album. Emppu played bass and guitar in studio, Sami joined in 1998.
Elvenpath is the first song on their first album Angels Fall First. The song is full of Finnish mythology. Gotta give lot of credit to Tarja and Floor how they were able to sing those lyrics without bursting into laughter 🤣 "The moonwitch took me to a ride on a broomstick Introduced me to her old friend home gnome Told me to keep the sauna warm for him" "At the grove I met the rest - the folk of my fantasies Bilbo, Sparhawk, goblins and pixies Snowman, Willow, trolls and the seven dwarves The path goes forever on"
Yes, this is full of Finnish, but also other references abound. Some mistake if for a story of Lord of the Rings but of course that is just some references. There are just as many to other mythology and fantasy. Tuomas agrees with you about keeping a straight face: recently he commented "We played Elvenpath years later on the Decades tour, and l can't understand how Floor was able to keep a straight face singing those lyrics - to her credit, she did! l just remember the kid that I was back then, writing those songs and I kind of miss that kid, because it was all about Donald Duck and fantasy books and snowmen and things fantastical. " I love Emppus playing in this and in the tacked-on Elvenjig I like the tinkling sound Marco gets from picking the strings BELOW the bridge on The Beast. Eery sort of sounds...
While it's a good rest for our queen, since it's all instrumental, Elvenjig is like a Celtic party, me, being a writer with a rather vivid imagination can easily see the whole scene in my head, people drinking and dancing in a tavern, from an ancient small town, Elvenpath on the other hand, makes me think of a queen\princess\maiden walking through a forest at night, finding each creature Floor mentions
One of my favorite songs. Before Troy joined the band, they performed it only as Elvenpath with Tarja. But they decided to add an instrumental part with the bagpipe and the whistle like an Irish jig))) And the song as a reference to The Lord of the Rings
Elvenjig gave me a celtic vibe and Elvenpath a Lord of the Rings feeling. Let slay some orcs. Troy was killing Elvenjig with his low wistle and uillean pipes.👹💪🎸🎹🎼
Finally!! my absolute instrumental favorite! its crazy how they perform these two songs in a row. this shows that they are absolute top musicians... thanks, Jynger!!✌😍
These are two very interesting songs, and I very much like listening them both, I am glad to run across both of them on your channel. Yours one of favorite channels. Nightwish is so creative. Listening to them with you has helped a lot after my rather severe stroke. I only have time for good things now. You, Floor and Nightwish ares some of the few things that make me smile these days.
Emppu is the coolest cat ever, yep he will shred a bit if the song needs it, then step over get him a bit of corona. Then he will go cut up with Troy, go see how Tuomas is doing, maybe have a conversation, until it is time to shred again. He just has a blast up there, and I love it.
Thank you for react to zhis song.. I like the song.. first time listen i was a little of "what?" but the more i hear it i feel in love with it. (NW-Songs are so full of everything that you hear something new in it, each time listening)
Leaving aside the dodgy words, this is still such an enjoyable song to listen to. I'm not surprised Tuomas was amazed that both Tarja and Floor somehow kept a straight face whenever they sang this one. I mean, I know Floor can sing the phonebook and all, but Elvenpath lyrics are much more of a challenge than that!😀 Yes it's good to see Nightwish smiling onstage, even better seeing that famous Jynger smile again!❤
The band's name is -indirectly- derived from the prayer Christ spoke to his Father in heaven: To "let this cup pass from me"; which is a theme carried throughout all nightwish albums. Though it is quite hidden from most Although it is directly said in the song Gesthemane. Which by the way, is on the album Oceanborn, that Tuomas just recently said in an interview 'is his 3rd favorite album'. 1st was Human Nature; 2nd Endless Forms Most Beautiful
For me, the song structure of Elvenjig is just brilliant. Here Tuomas shows all his genius again. I'm really looking forward to Saturday and 'your' Tampere concert.
your love for empuu is contagious, i hope that never ends. this is one of my fave choruses from them. massive throwback to their power metal days😭 the pharaoh sails to orion (theres a live version with tarja) is so overlooked its criminal - rly hope you get to that one eventually. keep em coming!
Your giddiness is contagious and so is your Emppu crush. I know of people that have a Jynger crush. This is one of my favorite NW songs, so thank you very much for this lovely reaction! If I'm right the Elvenjig was something spontanious during the rehearsals for this tour and they liked it so much they kept it.
Pretty good song for the very first one from the first Nightwish full length record. Love the Elvenjig beginning jam session. See you on Saturday Jynger. Loved it as usual. Beautiful smile!
Among the multiple talents of Nightwish, bringing a smile to Jynger must come high on the list. Thanks for reacting to a lesser reviewed number. And, yes, Troy and his instruments may be a ‘recent’ addition to the Nightwish experience but he more than pulls his weight with the band.
I think I've been waiting for your livestream since you announced it but I am gutted I won't be around for it on the 8th. I'm not familiar with twitch, but I get the impression that it's not something I can catch up with after the event?! You have to be there or miss it for good - is that right Jynger ? Great reaction btw. 😊
Oh no my friend! If I don’t have any issues with uploading it, it will definitely be put on the channel after the stream :) it’ll still be up over on Twitch after but sometimes the copyrighted material gets muted. I hope it al works out though so you can see it!
Hey girl u really need to do a reaction of tommy Johansson he is the male version of floor janson but with more talent. Since he can single play all the instruments please check him out
Emppu is a heroe. He paints Jyngers face with wonderful smiles.❤️
I love your teenager smile every time Emppu shows in the screen. Awesome! 😂😂

"At the grove I met the rest - the folk of my fantasies
Bilbo, Sparhawk, goblins and pixies
Snowman, Willow, trolls and the seven dwarves
The path goes forever on"
They should put "Nymphomaniac Fantasia" on the setlist one day. I really want to see Floor's facial expressions when singing that sh!t.😂
@@noneofyerbeeswax8194 Definitely not a radio hit! 😆

This is truly a call to arms by the Goddess

I love Emppu's guitar solo at the end of Elvenpath! He doesn't show of his exceptional guitar skills as much as I wish he does!
Finally!! my absolute instrumental favorite! its crazy how they perform these two songs in a row.
this shows that they are absolute top musicians...
thanks, Jynger!!✌😍
I ❤Nightwish. So much talent and fun on stage.

Hey Jynger, An Amazing song, a Masterpiece and the Joy, Marvelous, thank you, love you take care 👌👏😍.
One of my personal favorites!
Jynger, you really shine when you smile. ❤Greetings from the Netherlands

One of my favorites.. Love it so much.. ❤
This is a song to listen to when you play Sons of the forest.😂😂😂.
Lmao! You are right!

Hence it was "Night" in the garden of Gesthemane and the "Wish" was a prayer
Such a feel good song 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
your speak and reactions always get up happy feelings. thanx to great reaction and have happy feelings weekend.
Thank you my friend and you have a great weekend as well!
