Parisa was smiling throughout this song, it always makes me happy to see people enjoying their music ☺️ I hope she comes back for more reactions! 💜 And that Viking beard.. yess, absolutely! 😆
Yeah, it's great for me to see her falling in love with Nightwish as I imagine is the same watching any new reactor. I'll get back to you on the beard! Not sure I can pull it off. haha
YOU MUST LET HER DO SANCTA TERRA WITH YOU!!!!!!! Epica Retrospect version featuring Floor. She will love you for it! NW Army Namibia checking in! 🌌⛲⚔️🇳🇦🤟🏻
That transition is one of best I have ever seen. So incredibly well done. This may well be my favorite Nightwish song, if a favorite is even possible. Marko's bass line is just brutal as is Tuomas' head banging. Floor's unheard scream at 11:12 is just so - man, I can't even find a word for it ("unleash the beast" comes to mind). This whole song is just monstrous. Great reaction!
That's quite a song, isn't Thomas? What Parisa said is so true, even the heavier Nightwish songs are soothing and mesmerising. Listening to them makes me feel calm sometimes emotional, and always wanting more! Their stage presence seems to be on point with every song, but is spontaneous and never choreographed nor rehearsed, Tuomas and Floor said in interviews. They all do know how to radiate emotion, don't they!
Hey Frank! Thanks for your comment. I also agree, there's something so effortless and magical about them. You can't help but get lost in it and hungry for more when it ends. With each video I react to, the more I understand why they have such a large and passionate following. :)
When Nightwish goes crazy ... There is nothing better than seeing those musicians doing what they were created for. Performing on stage. Putting their souls into performance. And knowing that they don’t do this with dollar pictures in their eyes, but because they enjoy it. And we can enjoy with them!
It's real professionalism and love of music at it's best, Jukka is so right, there's no showing off, each person does what the song needs, nothing less and nothing more.
Hi Parisa! Welcome to the madness! There is, all through this one, a big flavor of Old Morocco, the great silk caravans, long journeys on camels, night time desert winds, the hint of wild spice. ADVENTURE! Emppu is so underrated. Floor and Marko getting LOUD together at the end is fab. They lean into each other. Floor needs to keep windmilling. Those lights won't power themselves! I think Troy was playing an electric bouzouki. .I could be heinously wrong.
Cheers Sandra! Wow, that is such a beautiful and eloquent description. You should do reactions/reviews yourself! Yes, you're right that was an electric bouzouki, such a cool sound that added something different to an already amazing song. :)
@@ThomFoolery1 I think it's based on Stephen King novel "Wolves of the Calla" for the title but possibly inspired by The Dead Poets Society - you know Tuomas refers to himself in songs as Poet/Boy/Writer/Dreamer. May be a musical metaphor for living life to the full of your aims as the wolves are only 7 days behind. It's a real work getting inside the lyrics of Tuomas. . . . . . .
@@michaelgomez782 Irish bouzouki is based on a Greek bouzouki but with diferent tuning and flatter sound box back so that it can be played easier while standing but still follows the norms of bouzouki meaning: either traditional trichordo so 3 double strings or the more modern tetrachordo so 4 double strings so definitely not a 12 string one and Troy uses a tetrachordo so it has 4 pairs of strings. You can see it also closer up here ua-cam.com/video/6dhSkfbHXJc/v-deo.html at 1:56
Your girlfriend described this song just perfectly. I loved this reaction a lot. Nightwish is an amazing band. Floor and her stage presence, Marko viking beard and doing vocals along with playing bass, Emppu the funny guy who delivers just as much as the song needs, Kai killing those drums with like 5 arms, Troy the adorable and super talented elf, and of course the genius Tuomas. They all combined are just out of this world.
Hi Parisa, nice to meet you! 🤗 Thanks guys! This is one of my absolute favourite live performances from Nightwish. Like said, multiple floorgasms 😆 and Tuomas nearly destroying the keyboard stand at the end 🤣
Yes Thomas, one of my favourites ❤️ Love the build-up in this and ofcourse the harmonies between Marko and Floor. Floor is so good at telling the story. The song starts slow but ends a bit heavier 😂 For another heavy one with super harmonies check out Weak Fantasy live at Tampere 2015. Till the next one 🤗
Thanks again Diana! I agree with completely on this one. The way this song builds and finishes is incredible. Ah yes, Weak Fantasy is definitely on this list. :)
You just gave me a visual of 12,500 human lawn-sprinklers flooding Wembley. Caution, Wet Foor! Fun fact, Webley Arena was originally the Empire Pool, Wembley, as it was where the swimming and diving events were held for the Olympics that the entire complex was built for - so it should be able to handle a wet floor with ease!
Hahaha! Human lawn sprinklers 😂😂😂 I didn't realize that, it makes total sense. Definitely will prepared for the sweat and happy tears that come with a NW gig!
- So.. Now we've had a fast instrumental part. How do we get into the bridge? - Fireworks? - Sounds good to me. - How do we get back to the main theme after the bridge? - Fireworks! - Fireworks it is!
A little song about "Carpe Diem". Troy is playing a bouzouki. Like a big mandolin with 4 double strings. Loved your reaction my friends. So wonderful to met your beautiful friend! This song just builds to an epic climax. Live life to its fullest, because death is never far behind. Heroes live every day and cowards are to timid to try for fear of failure. Well done. Peace.
Floor and Marco. As exceptional vocalists destined to each other. Universe's perfect harmonies. Born to be together on stage. I hope one day, they will sing together again...
Yeeeeyy, my FAV!!!! Doesn’t this song empower you, leaves you breathless and exhausted jet full of electrifying feeling. And the amount of chills down your spine when Floor howls to the crowd at 11:12. Just an amazing song!
Marco is so awesome to sing fantastic male voice and play great bass lines at the same time....there is not many who can do that on this level. Just great !!! And naturally wonder how versatile music Tuomas can write.
I really like your reaction. I see all reactions out on youtube but you are in my top 5 for sure. You seem to be yourself and enjoy what is coming at each reaction. Just a good fibe you give to the people watching. And Nightwish is just the best, not much more need to be said about them :).
Listening to Nightwish, no matter the introduction to the song, you fully know what they are capable of. It may continue as a very melodic beautiful experience. But like I said, they are fully capable of breaking into the intensity they are well known for. No matter it is always an experience well worth hearing. It is a lot of fun watching Emppu on the guitar, his abilities are fantastic. Nightwish never disappoints. Floor is a fantasy. The crowd willingly submits to their Queen.
Great reaction. Always a pleasure to watch your reactions to nightwish. You love their music we can see it and your girlfriend aswell. She was smiling all along. 7 days to the wolves isn't often choose To react. But it's an amazing song. Sometimes I'm asking myself if you will try some song of their last album (lyric video). I'm pretty sure you will like it. Keep going on 🤘 Welcome to Parisa in the nightwish familly and army.
Thanks very much for your kind words. I'm so happy to hear that. Definitely want to get to the new album. Hoping to hear more of the essentials and old ones first. 😀
@@ThomFoolery1 Juha probably being a fellow Finn I'm placing my kiitos here for a great reaction video! May I suggest AMORPHIS - Death Of A King to the list of upcoming reactions. Kiitos!
Hello Parisa (sp?) and welcome. I am so glad you are taking part in the reactions and super glad that you are enjoying NW. This is one of my fave songs from the Annette Era and Floor takes to the next level. "is this...where heroes...and cowards parts waaaaaays?" That gets me every time. Cheers!
That's my favorite Nightwish song, by far. At least as fronted by Floor (it doesn't sound quite as good with Anette). And her primal scream at 11:11? Epic. So fierce!
Welcome on your Nightwish trip. As I have said to many people. I have seen them live more than once. One time in a small venue where I was close enough to almost shake hands with them. I have met them personally. They are some of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. Absolutely no egos. Very patient with all of my questions. They made it seem like they were more interested in me then I was in them. Very welcoming. A truly class act. If you ever get the chance to see them live you will not regret it.
Hey Thomas and welcome to Parisa!. You finally got to it! :D:D Such an amazing song, they all look so happy and just having a blast. Although I think you stole the show a little with that Bob Ross T-shirt :D such an amazing guy too!. Anyways cant wait for the next.
Hey Thomas, I hope you bring Parisa for more reactions. She also has a good view and love for Nightwish and adds to your reactions. Keep up the good work.
Really lovely reaction - Parisa is a very welcome addition - hope to see more of her in your subsequent reactions. Talking of wanting to go to a first post pandemic Nightwish concert - I not only have tickets for myself and my Wife for the Birmingham show, but also the following evening in London. I get a little emotional in some Nightwish songs and fully expect to be a wreck by the end of the weekend.....that's if they go ahead of course! Looking forward to your next reaction.
Hi thomas , very nice to meet your girlfriend, you truly are a host to your " guests" and what a song, again, by the way, i haven't heared a bad song yet so i can 't be disappointed and never will be .Thank you again for another very nice reaction and see you at another one by you and maybe ......... 😊
I just discovered your channel, Thomas. Love your honest reactions and how you present the music. Thanks a lot for making these days more bearable. Also, the two of you have something very honest and positive in your eyes. Makes one happy. 🙂
Ok, Parisa...awesome name. Can’t say I know another, and thats cool. And you’re smiling from start to finish. Glad you enjoyed your debut on the channel. See you next time 😊
Awesome reaction!! This is my favorite Nightwish song and I love to see others enjoy it as much as I do! I’ve decided I’m not cutting my hair till after I see them live!! LoL
Great reaction, you guys and welcome the party Parisa - Troy plays the bouzouki and kicks off the melody/riif in the beginning of the song and Emppu picks up the same riffs toward the end - NW are so good at that, introduce you to a sound that you'll recognize again later, and as they love the ocean, their music are like waves and tempest, and stillness, back and forth. Emppu always put the music and what the music need in front - he is so talented and like the rest of the band no show off-
Great job guys.. You said it perfectly, they give you everything you ever wanted in a song, even though you didn't even know yourself what you wanted..
NASA (Nightwish Army Scottish Allegiance) checking in, Great Reaction from you Both, Parisa's enjoyment of Floor's voice ....... Special! .... Troy playing an Irish Bouzouki, 8 strings (4 pairs of 2)
Hello, hello ... There's one Nightwish fan here and a little late though. This is definitely one of my favorite Nightwish songs and not a bit because of this video recording. The whole band is so inside this song and the look on Tuomas' face in section 8.01 ... he knows what's coming. And Floor’s performance can only be admired. No wonder the audience is quite wild.
O man! This must be the fifth time I watched this reaction over the last few months. I am sitting here on a bench in a parc having so much fun with you two. Laughing like never before. 😂😂 And she is right ... Go for the beard. Even if it's just for a short while.
My other favorite Nightwish song... I swear, if you actually let yourself go, and headbang to the beat, this song is a real workout! I fucking LOVE it!!!
I've been waiting for you to react to Nightwish's Gethsemane, especially the clip from Buenos Aires 2018. Very few do it, although it has one of the best guitar solos by Emppu. And the keys Tuomas plays.. my goodness. Floor's appearance is out if this world, but that's of course natural since we all know by now she's not human. Not forgetting any other member either, everyone gives their best, as usual. The song is more than 20 years old, from the Oceanborn album, There are live performances from 1999 , which with Tarja are fabulous too, but I believe most people like the one from this tour more. Please, Thomas..! At some point...
The instrument that Troy plays is an electric Irish Buzuki . Is more like a replacement of an acoustic guitar or a lute . Great song guys , never disappointed from that band! Floor is the queen of stage ! '' Wembley let' s gooo !! '' Empuu' s solo all the money ! Parisa enjoyed it , point!~
One thing I find absolutely beautiful with NW IS that as they surprise with each song there is still a theme on each album and Even between albums. Some lyrics or musical details that connects them to be a part of bigger story. Not just irrational great songs. Which they could Be If listening just one of them. Of course i cant speak for Tuomas or rest of them But to me humble fan IT seems obvious that Human Nature has Been brewing there and is a continuoum (IS that even a word 😜) of last couple albums.
Do Phantom of the Opera by Floor Janssen and Henk Poort. They did this duet for a Dutch tv show called Best Singers. Henk Poort played the phantom in the musical in the 90s (I saw this live), so when Floor found out he was also participating she had to do this song. The high notes at the end of the song are epic! Floorgasm guaranteed!
Hi mate it steve 49 in leicester again mate hope u ok well i now hve to say hope u and ur girlfriend are ok. .yes it top song .glad u like it and she likes it ur both nice people.ps i no ul get round to what i said u hve to react to.eg nightwish dead boys poem live buenos aires 2018. Keep up great reactions mate
Great reaction!! This is an incredible song, too bad that they don't do it that often. I love reactions to this one, because people always talk about how mellow the initial part is, completely unaware of the mayhem coming at them. BTW, It's called windmilling because it's a circular movement, it has nothing to do with Floor's nationality. Normal headbanging is a back and forth movement.
Thanks a lot Gustavo! Glad you enjoyed it. It's an amazing song. Oh, I learned the term 'Windmilling' from these comments. People were very insistent it was because she was Dutch haha 😂
My take on how Floor projects the words of a song. She is a self described empath. When she projects to the crowd and they respond, she feeds off of that and the song just keeps getting better and better. This is why we experience "Floorgasms". Maybe...
Stopped it right there on 8:14 now. Its his Bouzouki allright,i noticed now that it got some light on it. Really cool old string instrument with wonderful sound to it. Makes the classic unplugged guitar sound old and grey in comparrasement. I think Troys one is a Irish customed made one,because it got a more edgy look then the original Bouzouki from Greece. And the Irish Bouzouki is indeed all black,so there you go lol. Took me awhile as they look so alike in the dark haha.
Being 76 years old, and listening to Nightwish the past 3-1/2 years, after this song I have to lay down and nap for a half hour....
Haha so did we 😂
Hahahahaha 👍🏻
Yep, that's me too greeniesr
, for me it's old farts syndrome, with 150 yrs between us we may have the edge on most commentators here. :-)
Parisa was smiling throughout this song, it always makes me happy to see people enjoying their music ☺️ I hope she comes back for more reactions! 💜 And that Viking beard.. yess, absolutely! 😆
Yeah, it's great for me to see her falling in love with Nightwish as I imagine is the same watching any new reactor. I'll get back to you on the beard! Not sure I can pull it off. haha
@@ThomFoolery1 I am going to try it,already got about 2cm .... lol
Beste Zangers ?
So many reactors who never do this song. You know what they miss.
Such a beautiful reaction. You are a very lucky man Tjomas: a lovely, beautiful woman at your side and listening to Nighwish ;)
Aww Thank you very much Gerard! I do feel lucky. :)

Primal scream. I love that snapshot.
hahaha Well said John, I get what you mean. So many powerful moments of awesomeness in this. Cheers. :)
Chills all over my body...
So disappointed that there's no audio on the scream.
This song is based on Stephen Kings book Wolves of Calla... Black Tower series. 🤘🏼
Demons and wizards also did an album based on the SK tower series. Its called the crimson king. Its fantastic!
Dark tower... 😠

Hi Amir! Thank you very much for the kind words. Very glad that you enjoy the videos. Stay safe 🙂
Ok, Parisa...awesome name. Can’t say I know another, and thats cool. And you’re smiling from start to finish. Glad you enjoyed your debut on the channel. See you next time 😊
Awesome reaction!! This is my favorite Nightwish song and I love to see others enjoy it as much as I do! I’ve decided I’m not cutting my hair till after I see them live!! LoL
Thank you! Haha that is a wise choice. 😂
Great reaction, you guys and welcome the party Parisa - Troy plays the bouzouki and kicks off the melody/riif in the beginning of the song and Emppu picks up the same riffs toward the end - NW are so good at that, introduce you to a sound that you'll recognize again later, and as they love the ocean, their music are like waves and tempest, and stillness, back and forth. Emppu always put the music and what the music need in front - he is so talented and like the rest of the band no show off-
Thanks very much! That's very true. They're so good at planting seeds and introducing themes that they come back to later on. 😀
Floor and Marco. One of the best harmonizing voices on Earth.
Great job guys.. You said it perfectly, they give you everything you ever wanted in a song, even though you didn't even know yourself what you wanted..
Cheers Tommy! 😀
NASA (Nightwish Army Scottish Allegiance) checking in, Great Reaction from you Both, Parisa's enjoyment of Floor's voice ....... Special! .... Troy playing an Irish Bouzouki, 8 strings (4 pairs of 2)
Cheers Ian! Glad you liked it mate. Such a beautiful performance. 🙂
Hello, hello ... There's one Nightwish fan here and a little late though. This is definitely one of my favorite Nightwish songs and not a bit because of this video recording. The whole band is so inside this song and the look on Tuomas' face in section 8.01 ... he knows what's coming. And Floor’s performance can only be admired. No wonder the audience is quite wild.
Great reaction, having Parisa there next to you reacting also was perfect. Keep up the great work.
Thanks a lot! 😀
Yeah, I knew you would like it! Love this song🤩
What a great reaction! Please do more Nightwish together, would be fun 😊
Thanks Nina! :D
So. Fricking. Good.
Energizing and makes one quiver with emotional energy :)
Love these reactions dude!! This is a great channel 🤘
Thanks so much! I appreciate it. :D
Great reaction! Nice to meet your girlfriend:) Hi from Finland!!!
O man! This must be the fifth time I watched this reaction over the last few months. I am sitting here on a bench in a parc having so much fun with you two. Laughing like never before. 😂😂
And she is right ... Go for the beard. Even if it's just for a short while.
Hey Akash! That makes me so happy to hear that you've come back to enjoy this one. Take care brother 😄🤘
My other favorite Nightwish song...
I swear, if you actually let yourself go, and headbang to the beat, this song is a real workout! I fucking LOVE it!!!
Wonderful reaction, your faces and comments were priceless! ...
Thank you Sheila!
Love this song!!
Excelente reacción Thomas; como siempre. La del cover de Pink Floyd ("High Hopes"); ANTOLOGICA. Saludos desde Argentina!
Muchas Gracias, Alejandro! I did a reaction to High Hopes already ;) ua-cam.com/video/20sReZTMoaQ/v-deo.html
@@ThomFoolery1 I think he watched it as he said it was an 'anthologic' reaction. I can agree with that ^^
@@dac2007 oh I see! 😄
I've been waiting for you to react to Nightwish's Gethsemane, especially the clip from Buenos Aires 2018. Very few do it, although it has one of the best guitar solos by Emppu. And the keys Tuomas plays.. my goodness. Floor's appearance is out if this world, but that's of course natural since we all know by now she's not human. Not forgetting any other member either, everyone gives their best, as usual.
The song is more than 20 years old, from the Oceanborn album, There are live performances from 1999 , which with Tarja are fabulous too, but I believe most people like the one from this tour more.
Please, Thomas..! At some point...
Show off...the way he threw his pick))) awesome)))
Really enjoyed this one, insane performance and I loved both of your comments and conversation around it :)
Thanks very much Lynne! So glad you enjoyed it.
The instrument that Troy plays is an electric Irish Buzuki . Is more like a replacement of an acoustic guitar or a lute . Great song guys , never disappointed from that band! Floor is the queen of stage ! '' Wembley let' s gooo !! '' Empuu' s solo all the money ! Parisa enjoyed it , point!~
One thing I find absolutely beautiful with NW IS that as they surprise with each song there is still a theme on each album and Even between albums.
Some lyrics or musical details that connects them to be a part of bigger story.
Not just irrational great songs. Which they could Be If listening just one of them.
Of course i cant speak for Tuomas or rest of them But to me humble fan IT seems obvious that Human Nature has Been brewing there and is a continuoum (IS that even a word 😜) of last couple albums.
that welsh sound with the flute and guitars
Great reaction guys! I definitely relate to a lot of your comments. What a great song.
Thanks a lot Damian! 😀🤘
Do Phantom of the Opera by Floor Janssen and Henk Poort. They did this duet for a Dutch tv show called Best Singers. Henk Poort played the phantom in the musical in the 90s (I saw this live), so when Floor found out he was also participating she had to do this song. The high notes at the end of the song are epic! Floorgasm guaranteed!
Thanks Jennifer! I've heard a lot about it. I'll check it out soon. 😀
"Wembley! Let's go!" They are rather good aren't they?
Good stuff you two, take care and stay safe.
Best windmilling ever!!!!!
Please Thomas do more with Parisa, i love it. Best regards for her from me.
Complex simplicity. They are due at Wembley in May I think, fingers crossed.
Hi mate it steve 49 in leicester again mate hope u ok well i now hve to say hope u and ur girlfriend are ok. .yes it top song .glad u like it and she likes it ur both nice people.ps i no ul get round to what i said u hve to react to.eg nightwish dead boys poem live buenos aires 2018. Keep up great reactions mate
Hey Steve, thanks a lot mate. We appreciate it! This one is definitely on this list so we'll get to it at some point. Cheers mate, stay safe. 🙂
Great reaction!! This is an incredible song, too bad that they don't do it that often. I love reactions to this one, because people always talk about how mellow the initial part is, completely unaware of the mayhem coming at them.
BTW, It's called windmilling because it's a circular movement, it has nothing to do with Floor's nationality. Normal headbanging is a back and forth movement.
Thanks a lot Gustavo! Glad you enjoyed it. It's an amazing song.
Oh, I learned the term 'Windmilling' from these comments. People were very insistent it was because she was Dutch haha 😂
@@ThomFoolery1 Of course, it adds to the legend of this band.
Thanks, another cool friend, congrats!!!
I like your lady. Bring her on more often. She is cute and has a great smile on her face all the time.
Thanks Paul! She'll definitely be back for more. 🙂
Thanks for your lovely reaction. NW keeps rocking🤘
Thanks! :)
Goosebumps every fucking time!
Floors scream !!!!!!! CHILLS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My take on how Floor projects the words of a song. She is a self described empath. When she projects to the crowd and they respond, she feeds off of that and the song just keeps getting better and better. This is why we experience "Floorgasms". Maybe...
That's a great point, man!
Stopped it right there on 8:14 now. Its his Bouzouki allright,i noticed now that it got some light on it. Really cool old string instrument with wonderful sound to it. Makes the classic unplugged guitar sound old and grey in comparrasement. I think Troys one is a Irish customed made one,because it got a more edgy look then the original Bouzouki from Greece. And the Irish Bouzouki is indeed all black,so there you go lol. Took me awhile as they look so alike in the dark haha.
Thank you! Yes, I found this out afterwards. Such a gorgeous sound! :)
