When Nightwish parted ways with their original singer Tarja in 2005, the breakup was... not amicable. Nobody really handled the situation well, and the fans of the band were not happy to say the least. Tuomas (the keyboardist and songwriter for the band) took the brunt of the abuse from the outraged fans and it led him into a deep and dark depression. Not only had he had to fire his best friend from the band, now the fans were turning on him and he felt that his baby, Nightwish, was dying. He wrote this song as a form of suicide so he wouldn’t do it in real life, knowing the pain his death would cause his family and friends. There’s an insane amount of emotions in this song, and Floor does such a magnificent job bringing them out. It’s beautiful and heart wrenching at the same time.
@@mariodepestel2267 What? His parents and wife are alive. Actually, it was his mother and father who helped him fight the depression. And he wasn't even married when he wrote this song.
Tuomas was not her best friend. He merely was interested in her. In all those years he very seldom ever visited her at home or invited her to his home. They were comrades, not friends.
Singing is technique and art and Floor is a Queen. Many say that she is the best metal vocalist and I wouldn't disagree. But she is solidly one of the best vocalists in the world in any genre. You understood this song.
Floor is friends with Tarja and Nightwish. She brings something to this in a way I doubt anyone else could as she is connected so closely to the players in the situation this song is about. I always wonder what kind of roller coaster it takes her on especially when fist singing it.
Great reaction! You obviously had no clue about the song before, and yet you understood everything - live, and without much pausing… respect to you :-)
In order to fully appreciate the song you need to understand the story behind it. Tuomas was in really deep waters after they had to fire Tarja. This song was his way to recover.
If you want to discover the versatility of Floor Jansen, try out her songs in the Dutch show "Beste Zangers 2019". In this shows she sings in Dutch, German, Spanish and English and from opera to balad to rock. A good tip to react on is," Floor Jansen & Henk Poort - Phantom Of The Opera | Beste Zangers 2019"
Actually, India, this reaction was my introduction to Nightwish.. I had never heard of them, and was watching other reactions from you, Pink Floyd I think. Looking for more in the list, I saw this thumbnail with your expression of horror. So I went looking what could upset you so terribly and I found this. Thanks! Since then I went searching for more Nightwish and all about Floor and her appearances in Ayreon as well. So you really freshened up my perception of symphonic metal.
You won't be disappointed... I would recommend live stuff. They are Literally better live. Plus floor (the vocalist featured in this performance) is by far thier best singer and she was not featured on the first 7 albums... Check out any thing live from: Wacken 2013!!! Wembely 2015!!! Tampere 2015!!! Those concerts will blow your mind!
@@banderezztonylapore9493 Floor is a great singer but it doesn't seem fair to say she's the best. Tarja was an amazing singer and with her operatic voice it is what made Nightwish special in the first place (to me at least). Listening to songs like Nemo/Phantom of the Opera/Over the Hills, etc I prefer Tarja's voice. I would recommend that people listen to both, their older stuff with Tarja and their later stuff with Floor, they each brought something to the band and it does a disservice to say one or the other is the "best" imo. Especially when you can enjoy both of them rather then sticking to just one.
I love all eras of Nightwish but Its my opinion that floor is the best vocalist for NIGHTWISH... You are welcome to express your opinions. I'm allowed mine.
I really love watching yours, and other reaction videos. And, watching yours, for some time, I've got the impression that you are a VERY loving person! The things you say, and the way you react, and look (emotionally), is very endearing. -xxXxx- :o)
What a beautiful reaction! Love it! So emotional. You were SO getting into it. Your eyes! Your trembling lip! This is how reaction videos are supposed to be.
"Now I only have three minutes and counting....." The blade chops Tuomas' head off three minutes later. Exactly three minutes. Tuomas is the Mozart or Beethoven of our times.
I was a huge fan from the first time they put out an album with tarja. The band with tarja were really incredible for that time cause female singers in a heavy symphonic metal outfit n operatic singing didnt exist at that level of perfection at that time. When tarja left a lot of fans were really not happy with the situation and the way it was handled on both sides . This song is about his traumatic take on having to fire tarja the fans reaction his reaction to the situation the worlds reaction (reminding at this particular time they were getting really big)etc... I remember when DARK PASSION PLAY came out in 2005 15 YEARS ago n the beautiful n wonderful annete olzon replaced tarja n completely killed it but with a completely different style. The first song was this song the poet and the pendulum. In 2005 when i played this song with those lyrics and the incredible piece of music, emotional outpourring of his soul it was simply art made to perfection. I have a bit of trouble with Floor jansen cause she doesnt really impress me on the latest nightwish albums with her singing . in this live rendition she is wonderfull . Its crazy to think that this song is 15 years old and just now people are freaking out over it n really digging everything about nightwish . Anette olzon did a fantastic job on that album n that song is the best nightwish song ever written hands down
When you said "pendoleum?" at the beginning, I about lost hope for you, but then you at least recognized the "blades of death" and I could see the full meaning of this dark passion play slice into you in seconds! Great reaction! Edgar Alan Poe's short story, The Pit and the Pendulum, was a memorable read about a cruel execution, but after this song...this _experience_ , I will never read it the same way again!
Great reaction. Just subscribed. Yeah, this is probably my second favorite NW song and you're right in saying that it's emotional. I consider this one of the biggest emotional roller coasters in music, and I listen to a lot of music. The fact that Tuomas essentially considers this his emotional suicide as to cope with his depression as to not do something like that in real life just makes it that much more powerful. Oh, and that is in fact a tree that is holding up the keyboard (or at least a stand that is in the shape of a tree).
It’s a great song and very emotional, the back story relates to Tuomas Holopainen (the keyboard player/ songwriter/ composer) and the split between him (Nightwish)and the first lead singer Tarja ..that’s simplified. Nightwish are an amazing band... Floor is a stunning singer and in Nightwish is perfection.
This was one of the best reaction videos imo. You reacted to song, not to Floor, not to band but a song. Often see reaction videos where they forget the most important thing, THE song. And they react to everything else.
The first time you hear the child he says "I have but 3 minutes and counting" 3 minutes later in the song toumass (forgive the spelling) he dies.....it's past next level writing
You may want to check out Epica "Sancta Terra featuring Floor Jansen(Nightwish) Epica actually has a choir and an orchestra and Simone Simons is another great operatic type singer.Together they are heavenly.Sancta Terra means Holy Ground.
honey honey the keyboardist/lyricist, is acting out his death in song, tuomas formed the band with lifelong schoolmate and original lead singer tarja turnemen who was also a badass singer with opera training, in 1996 nightwish was formed, in 99 tarja married and eased into solo recordings, the band needed her all in with them as their popularity was rising, the band said tuomas you have to dismiss tarja from the band, he could'nt he loved her in more ways than one i think, this song is him killing himself without doing it in real life is how i understand it all i know is its a fuqin masterpiece
Every true Nightwish fan knows the back story of this song. So you did a good reaction to that song actually. Usually, I recommend 1st timers to watch the video with the lyrics and to read the story behind it.
I loved your reaction to this song. I couldn't take my eyes off of you and your reaction. I am a huge fan of Nightwish and this is one of my favorite songs. I see in the comments that other fans already told you the background to this song and the meaning behind it, so I will spare you the details. I thank you for the reaction video. Lots of love. Take care.
Also it's a great idea to look up the backstory of this song. Most songs you can take your own meaning but this song is so much better when you know what its about
Nightwish isn't music you just hear. You feel it. The part in the spoken word " three minutes an counting". It's exactly 3 minutes (running time) till the pendulum drops. The chimes at the end. Just all the little details. That's what separates them.
Love your video. I don't know why I am just now seeing it, but I am glad I did. I appreciate your attention to the details of the song, and the meaning. Tuomas (The keyboardist, writer, and compoer of the song, went through a deep depression after the split between the band and Tarja, the original singer, it was hard on him from every direction, because he Grew up with and went to school with her., and the split was not an amicable one. This song was his way of committing suicide in song, while moving on with his life.
The first voice and later on are not Floor but: "Lead boy soprano: Guy Elliott, 2nd boy soprano: Tom Williams, courtesy of the Reigate St Mary's Choir School,
The inspiration for the stageset, the song and all. Comes from a Movie called " the pit and the pendulum ". You got to watch it . I have seen Nightwish live and its Incredible :) When me and my ex Finnish/ Canadian girlfriend flew back to Norway from Finland. We saw Tarja the year she got axed from Nightwish. She did not look very happy. But she had it comming the way she talked and behaved .
Whenever Floor begins to sing, far across the universe many realms away, every God stops what they are doing and listens simply because nothing else is so powerful or beautiful anywhere in between. As she seems to sing to each and every listener personally, Floor holds your soul in the palm of her hand in a gentle but firm caress.
11:44 has to be darkest point that it gets. That was Tuomas committing suicide in exactly the way you thought he did. Its bone chilling to say the least.
I've followed Tuomas through his awakening, his first steps, his flight to the sky, and yes, through his despair, his musical drought, and his attempts to find closure with his last album. All his problems have been caused by his own actions or inactions, all have led him to his next stage of enlightenment, and all have been a precursor to his ultimate revelation. I believe he will soon see what all this has been leading up to, and the music that will spring forth from his heart and mind will have no equal. Such is the nature of his gift. I can barely wait until he opens his eyes, to find the 1000 pages are not erased, but awaiting the vision to see them clearly.
Nightwish are unbelievable in live, when you feel the powerful and so clear voice of Tarja, with the loundness of the scene sound, invade your body, you fell goosebumps on all your skin, it's just just awesome, this emotion is so great !...
When ever you do songs like this 2 things you should do first one read the back story of what the song is about, and 2nd pull up the lyrics, so the whole thing makes sense, if you ever do a Jinjer reaction to Teacher Teacher make sure you do that, read up on the meaning of the song, and pull up the lyrics
Nightwish certainly likes to take you on an emotional journey. I think Tuomas Halopainen is a sadist in that he loves to put his listeners through the wringer.
Just to get it straight for all those who still write that thing. Thoumas never meant wanted or thought about killing himself. like never. The core of the band went to the same school, letting her go was hard for all of them, and him since he took alot of the heat for it, and NW is his life work and he was unsure what would become of it. Even though there was a reason for her being cut, she had said she wanted to do other things, and wanted to do solo things, and that wasnt the right place to be in when the rest of the band wanted more NW. This song is in acts, each act about the states he went through with this, the sadness the anger until the end with the words from his mother, things she really did tell him. So saying the song is his suicide because he didnt want to do it in real life, even though its more correct than the first, its still not really true. In this song he kills off the parts that kept making him sad and in doubt. dealing with it act for act, the anger and pain and all the things that just bottled up inside. So not a suicide of him, but of negative parts in him. And there is many things in the lyrics with more than one meaning, the mother part that did happen. In the song the boy mention 3 minutes. and 3 minutes later the change happen in the song. And so on. But.. over all. since its a thing people really need to stop writing in every reaction video. No Thoumas never thought about killing himself, his own words.. He have said he never would because he just love life to much. And the song isnt his alter suicide, more the slaying of his deamons. :)? using his music to deal with something that really got to him because it was so personal. It was his lifes work with the band and music. its was friends and people he had known and been up and down for years. it was fans that didnt understand, it was the fear of what now. what will nightwish be. it was everything. And that is why there is these acts.. he is angry this happend, he dont understand it, he is affraid, he is sad, he think of what now. he thinks he is all alone, and he heal. Its the road of everthing to do with her leaving the band, the pain to the thought of a better future. We need to stop the wrong idea of suicide.. Toumas deserves better than having it turned that way. its his song, and feelings and they are as they should be, and meant to be, and is powerfull for it. It do not need a sucide internet fantasy.
The Ideal singer for this Band would have been Anne Wilson from Heart she had the power in her voice to really drive the music! shame it was different eras.
Hi im steve 47 uk . Love nightwish. Im subscribed to ur channel .yes what a powerful emotional song .as u love floors voice please react to nightwish sleeping sun live at tampere .thank you it a slow masterpiece
Welcome to Nightwish! My favourite is "Ghost Love Score" with Floor, at Wacken 2013. However, you may really like "Phantom of the Opera" with Tarja singing...
Floor is a damn good singer, but she doesn’t hold a candle up to their original singer. Tarja was a trained opera singer who could make your jaw drop. Such a shame she left. Listen to their ‘Wishmaster’ album and you’ll see what I mean!

This is storytelling, indeed. It's a masterpiece.
Such a powerful song. Thank you for reacting to this. Nightwish is an amazing band. One of the bands that are much stronger live.
Amazing that you reckognized the meaning of this song. 👍

Lots of them. Beautiful Nightwish fans as far as the eye can see.....
Lol I loved that movie ! And yes lots will come hahaha
Hahaha good one
we were with you too :)
Great comment. Àlso very accurate.
And the NW army is intense

Tuomas was in really deep waters after they had to fire Tarja. This song was his way to recover.
Aye I was close
@TheBlackiwid Ah, I thought they came to him to get the ending right (from musician point of view) :-)
What a beautiful and genuine reaction. Thank you!

My favorite from this band has always been Nemo, a name from Latin meaning "no one".
Whenever Floor begins to sing, far across the universe many realms away, every God stops what they are doing and listens simply because nothing else is so powerful or beautiful anywhere in between. As she seems to sing to each and every listener personally, Floor holds your soul in the palm of her hand in a gentle but firm caress.

Those 5 different titles you went through at the start are the different "acts" of the song. Tuomas is a genius composer.
Or you could also call them different stages of deepening depression
those blades of death , lol, are the pendulums
Haha - Idia`s eyes becoming bigger and bigger ! :D
For comparison, you should react to nightwish phantom of the opera
Your reaction✌️✌️🇸🇪
Lisseling tho FlOOR pfffffff💝🇱🇺
Nigthwish is my favorite band now, I love Heavy Symphonic Rock.
My favorite Nightwish song.
You have to check the story behind this song so you can understand it.
You have to know the Concept behind this Song/Full CD to understand the deeper Meaning of this Song.....
Emotional rollercoaster :]
lmao the way she says pendulum
What, you mean 'PADOLEUM'?
Yeah, it was very amuse. :-)
Nightwish are unbelievable in live, when you feel the powerful and so clear voice of Tarja, with the loundness of the scene sound, invade your body, you fell goosebumps on all your skin, it's just just awesome, this emotion is so great !...
You should check out their video for Sleeping Sun
They are meant to be seen live. As this is based on Opera.. The whole show is Play...
yes thats the remains of a sacrafice the bans made just before the concert started. lol

In this song he kills off the parts that kept making him sad and in doubt. dealing with it act for act, the anger and pain and all the things that just bottled up inside.
So not a suicide of him, but of negative parts in him. And there is many things in the lyrics with more than one meaning, the mother part that did happen.
In the song the boy mention 3 minutes. and 3 minutes later the change happen in the song. And so on. But.. over all. since its a thing people really need to stop writing in every reaction video.
No Thoumas never thought about killing himself, his own words..
He have said he never would because he just love life to much.
And the song isnt his alter suicide, more the slaying of his deamons. :)? using his music to deal with something that really got to him because it was so personal.
It was his lifes work with the band and music. its was friends and people he had known and been up and down for years. it was fans that didnt understand, it was the fear of what now. what will nightwish be.
it was everything. And that is why there is these acts.. he is angry this happend, he dont understand it, he is affraid, he is sad, he think of what now. he thinks he is all alone, and he heal.
Its the road of everthing to do with her leaving the band, the pain to the thought of a better future.
We need to stop the wrong idea of suicide.. Toumas deserves better than having it turned that way.
its his song, and feelings and they are as they should be, and meant to be, and is powerfull for it. It do not need a sucide internet fantasy.
I watched an interview with him and he said "I killed myself in the song so I wouldn't have to do it in real life". His words...
Nightwish - Slaying the Dreamer live from Bloodstock 2018
Have you done romanticide from Wakken '13 yet?
The Ideal singer for this Band would have been Anne Wilson from Heart she had the power in her voice to really drive the music! shame it was different eras.

Welcome to Nightwish! My favourite is "Ghost Love Score" with Floor, at Wacken 2013. However, you may really like "Phantom of the Opera" with Tarja singing...

Tuomas
@@SuperTopias thank you
Pen du lum that's how it's pronounced
Brian Grissman apparently she doesnt know its Latin 🤪
You should check out another one of they're songs called Ghost Love Score live, it will send you into another level of musical love!!!
Floor is a damn good singer, but she doesn’t hold a candle up to their original singer. Tarja was a trained opera singer who could make your jaw drop. Such a shame she left. Listen to their ‘Wishmaster’ album and you’ll see what I mean!
