Gosh I’m reading all your comments right now and I’m in floods of tears again. I have to stop or I’m going to actually dissolve and start sobbing. Thank you. I love to know other people get that he wasn’t just a pet or just a cat to me. And I’m so sorry to anyone who has lost or is about to lose their fur baby. I feel you so much. Please anyone who reads this just go hug your pet for me and give them that extra treat. I’d give anything to hold Bruno one more time or feed him some fish. I’ll respond to comments soon. I’m going to go grab Luna and demand some shoulder time with her ❤❤❤
Feeling and crying with you. Lost two kitties the past 6 years, and it was hard, very hard. First of old age, 22 1/2 years, blind, organ failure, she had to be let pass into eternal sleep. Our last cat we inherited from our daughter, she had no space in the center of town where she lived anymore, and was going to travel for a long time. Unfortunately, she was poisoned. Our vet tried really hard to save her, drips, and all kind of other procedures, but eventually nothing worked, and that was about 10 months ago. We had her for five years. She passed away in my arms, with a final little purr while I was stroking her. I am starting to cry again thinking about it. I do think it is no shame to cry over losing a pet, a loved companion really, at all. I do hope it helps you in your recovery, try to think of the good moments, that is what I always try. Love, hugs, warmest regards, Wim
Hey Dom, my condolences, I can imagine that it is very tough to lose a companion that's been with you for so many years and given you much love, the kittens surely will give you some new love in the difficult times. Take care.
I said farewell to my doggy who was growing up with me since I was a 8yo kid, hi lived with us almost 20 years, few years since then have passed and now I have a kitty. Shes soooo adorable, shes like my little baby, I took her to early (she was only 7 weeks old) but I had to. I raised her literally, she now treats me as her cat parent. I have nightmare thoughts from time to time when I realise that she will also be gone someday... I know there will be long fantastic years untill this happen but it will. She was soooo tiny small, she was sleeping on my lap when I was listening to Nightwish reaction for all those 3 years I have her. This will be heartbreaking for me to watch You right now. The life isnt fair eh? And damn You chose the wrong song for such a mood O.O be strong over there anyway.
Please don't feel you need to apologize for sharing your emotions, emotion is what binds us all but sadly most of us don't have the courage to let the world see what we feel, ultimately keeping us all in our sad, silent and separate lives, believing we are strange or deficient for feeling the things we do. If we could all open up, be human and share as you do, it would be an infinitely better world. Empathy grows in this way. I am sorry you are hurting, but the hurting is a tribute to the depth of your love. It is easy to see how loved Bruno was and is. We all leave traces of ourselves with others, especially those who love us. Bruno has left much of himself with you and with his apprentices as well. Enjoy the parts of you that are him. Love doesn't leave or die it is a bond that can't be erased by death or the passing of time. Thank you for your courage and your trust in us to understand. You really make a difference in the world, and you have made an imprint on my heart and the hearts of many, just as Bruno has on yours. Sending virtual hugs, and from one spirt to another, you are loved. We cry, mourn and heal along with you. Thanks again for allowing us in, to share your life experience in this way it is a precious gift, we will handle with care.
So sorry about Bruno - these wonderful creatures mean so much to us. The emotional depth of this song is illustrated by the fact that on the opening gig of Nightwish's recent tour in Belgium, Floor broke down in tears at the end. The pressure of having recently had surgery and treatment for breast cancer was a lot for her to take on. So yes, the meaning of the song and the emotional delivery is a lot. We all share your sadness and offer our sympathies. The apprentices are delightful.
Thank you! 🙏 this song just wrecked me. I still can’t listen to it. I just miss him so much and it’s almost unbearable I can’t pick him up or hold his little face in my hands.
Firstly, you made it. Secondly, you are NOT an idiot for crying. It takes more guts to show real emotion than it ever takes to hide them. Those we love, and it is never just limited to humans, are only truly gone when we forget them & there is so obviously a snowball's chance in hell of that ever happening because he wasn't just a cat, there's no such thing. He was & will always be a part of your family, a part of you. Thank you for showing us what it means, what it REALLY means to be open, honest, vulnerable, genuine & real. Sending you the biggest, tightest, warmest hug. The Rainbow Bridge is never easy, they're called fur babies for a reason, but you have NOTHING to apologize for. The strength & love you have shown in sharing this is beyond amazing and inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing with us & thank you for introducing us to those 2 gorgeous lil babies!!!!
I feel your pain Dom. 🙏🙏❣❣This song is very emotional. Floor returned to performing after her surgery and a close call with the dreaded C word. She also broke down on stage during the final chorus. She was overcome with emotions at being back on stage doing the thing she loves most.
I was there for that performance in Antwerp 2022. It was very emotional to see such a strong woman break, Empu also had to wipe away a tear and yet after that song the whole band continued full of energy. They never leave their fans wanting.🤟🏻🤟🏻🎶🎶
just replace the watch command in your browser by by: /watch?v=jxr5vSQlZZc P.S. Nightwish music has healing effects that triggered your emotions even more.
I am so sorry for you loss, losing such a beloved member of your family. You need to grief and let it in. It will be grief and sweet memories, a tear and a smile.Allow it. It will help you. My sincere condolences. I wish you strenght and your other sweet animals will comfort you, i am speaking from experience. Bye from the Netherlands.
Your words and emotion hit me and I shed a tear too. RIP Bruno. This song and performance is beyond beautiful. Tuomas composed an absolute masterpiece and the colours and beauty of Floor´s voice are felt so deeply in the soul. Thank you for reacting despite all your pain..
Don't apologise for being human. I know what it's like to lose a kitty, and I totally understand your reaction. Hopefully, the new family members will bring you nothing but joy.
Oh my dear I didn't know! I am so sorry for your loss 💔 I really hope you find comfort in their music, cry it out, let it flow, love, I know for a fact that Floor's voice can serve as a way of therapy to deal with all the pain you are feeling now. Most importantly though, do not apologize for crying over your boy's loss. 8:58 NO. MA'AM. STOP.... STOP CALLING YOURSELF AN IDIOT AND SAYING ALL THOSE STUFF. DO NOT BE THAT HARD ON YOURSELF. 9:58 REMEMBER HIM FOR HIS NATURE, FOCUS ON THAT, AND THE KITTENS.
Thank you 🥺 the kittens are keeping me going. Luna in particular was so close to Bruno. She snuggles his blanket and has been attached to me since he passed.
Everybody cries during this song for everyone they ever lost at any point in their lives. Your heartfelt reaction is raw, real, and beautiful. As a cat owner, I feel the pain of your loss and the joy your other kitties give you. Nightwish is a tonic for what ails the world. The more the better.
Thank you for sharing with us, and for sharing Bruno with us. He will be greatly missed but we will never forget him. It's never easy, but you're not alone and neither are your tears.
The loss of a loved pet is so painful. It's been about 8 years since my best boy ever passed and while it's gotten much easier, there are still times I grieve and sob. Hang in there.
Oh my gosh, Dom. My heart is with you. Those of us who are animal people, and especially cat people, know what a huge hold they have on our hearts, and that when they leave, they leave a huge hole. My hopes for you is that hole will soon be at least partially filled by the love and sympathy all of us feel.
Grieving is a process. Do it your own way and let it take the time it requires. My daughter recently, unexpectedly, lost her pet bunny, Danté, after 8 years, and is going through similar times. Prayers and best wishes to you and yours Dom!
I know the feelings you are going through, i lost my cat 6 months ago, he was with me 22 years (im 39)...it still hits Hard, they aren't just pets, they are family members. lots of love and hugs to you❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. My wife and lost 5 kitties in 3 years from 2008 to 2011. Didn't know I could hurt that much until my wife passed away last October. Your reaction opened my flood gates with you. Bruno won life's lottery when he found you to spend his life with. R I P Bruno
I'm so sorry for your loss, this got me so emotional as I remember when our last beloved cat past away last year. The evening he died I stumbled over the Nightwish song "Turn Loose The Mermaids" sung by Anette which had the same impact on me like sleeping sun had on You. We never had a cat again, the older I get the less I can take it to see them pass away. All the best and greetings from Germany, Martin
As a proud owner of a 15 years old dog I'm grateful for each day I'm spending with him, so I'm really understanding your grief. In your case, you can't replace Bruno but you can always remember all the joy he gave you
I had a little dog named Jack that was rock solid for 17 years. Then his health turned just all of a sudden and he was gone in 5 days. The day he passed I was sitting at home and thought I heard that familiar scratch at the back door to be let in. I got up and answered the door out of pure habit and was kicked in the gut again when he wasn’t there and was reminded that he was gone.
O my dear, I'm so sorry for your loss. I am myself an intense cat lover and I can understand your feelings. I'm seventy now and all my life I had cats and every time they had their end their lives I went was in tears. In november my dear, sweet and tender Luna died and I was in tears for weeks and I still am every now and then when I think of her. And the uncertainty that you feel about if you (and the vet) treated her well is so vexing. This was certainly not a humiliation for you. You look a compleet and healthy person with brains and feelings. Love from Luca Rotterdam, the Netherlands
You know I wrote my comment before reading others , and feel really proud to be a part of this awesome group of people (The Nightwish Army) showing support for this lovely young lady over the loss of her cat . Well done , this is what it's about , sharing a common interest in a "United Community" setting and having each other's back , this is what we need nowadays more than ever to remember our human side . 👍🇦🇺
Bruno wasn't just going to sleep with the sun, he was wakeing up with the light and maybe waiting for you in a place much more beautiful than here. Thanks for this authentic and heartopening reaction. God bless you!
Ahhh don’t I’m in tears again. I try to answer all comments and each time I come back to this video I get wrecked again emotionally and that was so beautiful but yeah now I’m crying again.
Watching woman cry to a song at 1:18 AM, starting to cry myself, inhaling water from glass. Coughing the water on my keyboard, sweeping the glass from table while doing all this. What a fucking great life. On the serious note very nice to see these reactions! Glad to see people love the band from my small country.
I hope your keyboard is ok. Sorry this one was so painful for me. I can’t watch any videos with Bruno in them or that reference him. I smash the skip button whenever this song comes on my Spotify or I’ll be a mess wherever I am, even though I love it. On a related Nightwish note, I’m seeing Marko and Tarja in Hamburg soon!
@@themetalmuse Yeah i get that. Lost my pets to life too. Doesn't get much easier with time. Have fun! Also i could recommend song to react to from Marco for the Christmas time. Its "Raskasta Joulua 2019 | "Sparrow on Christmas Morning" by Marco Hietala. Very pretty! its in our own language but has english subtitles
Not only was this a reaction, it was as pure, honest and sincere a reaction as there could ever be. I weep with you in your grief and wish you much healing. 💔❤🩹❤
So sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing this video with us. Please don't apologize for sharing your true self with us. One of the things I love about Nightwish is how the mange to invoke such strong emotions in me. I hope Sleeping Sun helped you heal if only in a small way. I will offer a snippet of lyrics from the song Until Eternity by the Dutch gothic symphonic metal band Blackbriar . It is a beautiful love song about a love that lives on through successive lives of the couple. " We live on and on and on Death is weak and we are strong On and on and on Time is weak and we are strong I would like to believe that those we love will appear again in whatever awaits us when we die. Many hugs for you and your kittens.
You don't need to apologize for your reaction. I think most of us watch these types of videos because we want real human reactions to the things we love. As hard as it was for you to do this video, I appreciate your vulnerability and sincerity with how you felt about this song during a time of grief. There is no denying that music has the ability to help us navigate loss, and sometimes part of that is just having a good cry. I lost my kitty of 15 in November and my father who was also my best friend passed away on Jan 2nd. Rocking out to music on my commute to work every morning has been my only therapy.
@@themetalmuse your video was very sad and full of grieving but also very beautiful to see. The love you had for him was so genuine and it showed. Stay strong Dom. We are all sharing the hurt with you
So sorry about the loss of Bruno. I know the pain only too well. This song always reminds me of my beautiful 18 year old desert dog Bertie who was struggling with mobility and got very sick. We knew the next day we were going to have to say goodbye to him and I sat up with him for hours through the night, and the whole time it was going through my head on repeat, "I wish that this nighttime would last for a lifetime." If it had, I'd never have had to let him go. Kudos for having the courage to show your emotions. Bruno's apprentices will do a great job of helping you through your grief 🥰
Awe you made me cry reading your comment. I still feel his loss everyday. I feel like he told Baxter and Luna I’d need them cos they’re so abnormally loving. And although they’re so sweet I still just miss my big boy. I’d do anything to have his big grey head headbutt me.
Dear Dom, I know exactly how you feel - same I had to go thru when my beloved dog passed away 3 years ago. She was such a deep part of me and even the best 'girlfriend' I ever met. It takes time to say good bye - I know. Take the chance of grieving and do not be ashamed about only one tear you spend. Bruno is worth it. I will never again have another dog, as I think he would see me die, and to have a pet means to have responsibility for its whole life, not mine. I am glad to see your kittens, they will have a huge part in your healing. Ok, I think I said enough now, but I wanted to tell you that it is part of nature. Richard Dawkins (maybe you know this from Nightwishs 'Greatest Show on Earth') brought the following words up: We are going to die and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die, because they never will be born. All I can do from here in Germany is to reach out for you and hug you virtually!
I'm a 65 year old man and nothing brings me to tears, except when my "good boy" Charlie passed in 2013 I blubbered like a baby. I know exactly what you are feeling. Chin up, this too shall pass and will be replaced in time by fond memories.
I just want him back so much. I am working my way through the comments right now but I think I just hit my limit for tonight. I've started blubbing again.
I totally understand! Since we moved to Austin, Texas, in 2014, I have lost my show dog, named Peek-a-boo. She was my constant companion, and my girly girl. We traveled all across the Southeastern coast of the US going to dog shows. I cried for months when she passed. We did have one of her puppies, that was born with fluid on the brain and his skull cap had not grown in completely. He passed in 2017 at 13 years old, when the vet told us he probably wouldn't live beyond 5 weeks. A few months later we rescued a little Maltese who had a bad kidney from the neglect. We took care of him, and gave him more love than we know he never had until his kidney failed. I grieve with you...as I know how much it hurts. I was crying with you, and am sending you big hug
Sorry about Bruno. I have difficulties to contain my emotions with most Nightwish songs, but you made it impossible to not cry with you. I wish you al the best.
Sorry for your loss. My family has lost 2 dogs and 2 cats, and they've all been hard. I have a big orange tabby that I love dearly, and I can't imagine not having him around. That song always hits me hard too. It has that dreamy, ethereal quality to it that is so beautiful.
Hi beautiful soul, I am so sorry for your loss. It was always nice to see Bruno in your reactions. And skip this reaction? Bail on you when you need support? No way. I wish I could give you a long comforting hug right now. I do not think I speak only for myself when I say my thoughts are with you, I think loads of people are with you. Take your time to grieve, do not force yourself to hold it together, let it all out. You lost a loved one, you will be okay, but it will take time. Take your time, lots of hugs and love from all of us. ❤
My sincere condolences for your loss. Bruno was such a delightful interruption of your reactions. He will be dearly missed - hope his apprentices give you a bit of relief, although they can only add, but never replace him.
They remind me of his so much. Luna still cuddles behind me the way she did with Bruno. And Baxter is my shadow the way Bruno was. They definitely ease the loss and remind me they need the same level of love that Bruno got.
...sorry for your loss... other great, but also quite emotional NW songs for the passing of loved ones are their "Meadows of heaven" and "Angel's fall first". Take care 🤘❤😌👍
No no no. Its.the most honest reaction we will ever see!😢 as a pet owner myself. I totaly understand. That said, if lyrics hit that hard then its ment for you. A great loving caring person.😊
So sorry to hear of Bruno's passing. It was obvious how much he meant to you, and it's a very painful thing to go through. He'll be missed on the channel too, and I was grateful (as I'm sure you were) that he fought to hang on longer than expected. But I'm sure that doesn't make it any easier to deal with now. I loved the video of Bruno with his apprentices, as well as the new footage of them. I'm glad that you have them around, and I hope they help you get through this difficult time. Probably not the best Nightwish song to react to under the circumstances, but also in a way, very fitting. Wishing you all the best moving forward! 🫶
Thank you, the kittens are getting so much focus and love from me. I see Bruno in them and they adored him so much. I feel like they picked up his sweetness.
Best Boy Bruno. You had a great time and a great Mom and Dad while you were here. We are sad your lovely self is gone. But we (she) are so glad you had your time under the sun. You made life better, even for fools on the net, watching your tail parade past the cam. Dom, you need hugs... and 'effective' hugs don't come from the screen... you know best what to do. But until then, here's a virtual shoulder. Bruno: make your spirit known every once in a while .. tip over a plant, let your furz irritate a nose or two. You know the best way to pop in... maybe in a vision in a sunset's dimmest light. It's comfort, for her. As she was a comfort for you. ... sorry, I need to go cry now. Damn you Dom. And, love to jyou and yours, as always. EDIT: I nearly cut the vid short, but LUNA and BAXTER !! Welcome. You cannot possibly replace the one who preceded you, but you while shine in you own right. Now, find the nearest cup of tea and knock it off the desk. Good kittens.
Hahaha Baxter and Luna have been doing an awesome job of taking care of their mumma. Both so so so cuddly. I can’t wait till they start meowing at me the whole time the way Bruno did. They picked up some of his traits in their 3 months together.
Hello Dom. You are a beloved member of our Nightwish community and we appreciate you sharing your feelings with us. We can all empathize with you. Most of us have been right where you are now. Let the tears flow. That is your reaction.😢
Knowing other people get it and can empathise actually helps. He wasn't just a cat or pet. He like a little furry angel given to me on loan to protect and spoil.

Sooo sorry for hearing about Bruno. My thoughts are with you and I feel your pain. We are NEVER ready to have our loved ones taken away even when we know that these days will come. Hugh hugs and kisses to you. Be strong and think about all of us thinking about You and Bruno. ❤❤❤❤
Hi. So sorry for your loss. I lost two of of my kitties during COVID, one in October, 2019, my dearest one, the not just a kitty, in June 2020. I had to put her down, I held her in my arms in a parking lot in my car, since I couldn’t go in, so they brought the medication to the car, then took her from me. Heartbreaking stuff for we mere mortals. Floor had a short bout with cancer in 2022, caught early, & removed, we, & of course she was so relieved. Floor being Floor soon went off to tour with the band sadly. She really needed more time, as anyone would. Dropping you a link of a fan video of one of those concerts, of Floor singing this song. As you can see you are in good company I would say. Btw…she got right on having her second child last year, we certainly can understand why, being a 41 year old woman. So happy everything turned out so well for her. Again, so sorry for your little guy. ❤ ua-cam.com/video/GZrSZeBpDKU/v-deo.htmlsi=U6OM_iHVGVCV05bz
I do not know how you coped. That would have ended me having to do it in a carpark and then hand him over. We had the vet come to the house and to be honest I howled with pain after he passed and just couldn't let him go. I couldn't breath or stop shaking. When the crematory people came to get him they laid him out for me and put flowers on him but I coudln't stop sobbing. I am crying now as I type this cos it's brought it back so raw and visceral. I miss that fuzzy boy.
Grieving takes time, I hope at least this song gave you some ease and comfort, and thank you for this reaction, we're here for you. ❤😘🙌🙏 Stay healty and strong, and be sure that Bruno is watching you from his fluffy cloud. 😇🤗🙏❤ R.I.P Bruno. ❤❤❤
I think he’s still with me and when my dad woke up from his surgery he kept saying Bruno was on the bed in the hospital. That just destroyed me. Ended up crying my eyes out.
@@themetalmuse wow, i can only imagine how hard did that hit you...I'm sure you get many reminders of Bruno every day, and every day you're learning how to deal with it and how to heal, keep going dear Dom, you got this. 💪😘❤️
I can’t even listen to it again. It came on randomly through my headphones while I was in the office and I felt that sting of tears. If I let myself start crying it takes a lot to stop it. Actually I teared up just typing that.
Hello Dom, greetings from UK I am so so sorry to hear about Bruno, my heart is with you ❤ I am glad that we had a chance to meet him, and thank you for introducing us to his brothers, they are adorable I am glad that you decided to do this video, we are your family and we want to be there for you in your time of grief. You should be able to just post a video and say exactly what you feel whenever you feel the need to do so, we will listen and support you if we can In olden times in some cultures people would go to a canyon, cliff, or the shoreline and shout out into the abyss their problems, their grief or their anger and the four winds would take their pain and carry it far away. Let us be your winds, and will share your pain and carry it far away so that you do not have to shoulder that burdon alone! Much love to you 🥰
you don't realise how much they have taken over your life until you do something that you expect the interruption or interaction to happen and...it doesn't. It is the hard part of befriending or being befriended by a lifeform that doesn't share our longevity! My grandmother used to say "you haven't lived if you haven't grieved" and I didn't understand but now I am older I realise what she meant was that you only grieve if you have allowed yourself an emotional connection to or with something or someone. RIP
Just met Bruno in the last video and now he has departed. Great to see him with the kittens and how they got on. It took a year before my senior Top Cat got used to the new Bengal siblings and started showing some affection to each other. Beautiful video, empathy is what makes who we are.
I have also lost a dog myself. And I still feel the pain, it will get better with time, but you will never forget it. This song always reminds me of her. And I still shed a tear. But I am still happy that I was able to take care of this dog in my life. I hope when my time comes I will see her again. Lots of strength from the Netherlands.
I saw your face and immediately knew what was going on. I'm very sorry. I know that words are of little comfort in this case. Time heals all wounds. Remember the beautiful moments and look forward to them lasting forever. Give another cat a beautiful life. This is not a replacement, but it is good for your heart and soul. The love you give is what you get back. Feel hugged and all the best.😘🤗 P.S. You really are such a lovely person and I cry with you all the time. I know exactly the pain I feel after losing 4 dogs and 3 cats over the course of 45 years!
I appreciate that, thank you will. Yeah I looked really rough in this video. My eyes were so raw and face swollen. I was beyond wrecked. Now I just cry at random times. But my kittens are keeping me going.
@@themetalmuse Of course, this song was particularly hard now. I'm surprised you even managed to do that. My knowledge of human nature tells me that you are a wonderful person and that makes me happy in these times. I wish you lots of strength and see you soon.😜👋
Sorry to hear about loosing your little friend sweetheart , he is at rest in an awesome place with his furry friends now , chasing mice and having an all you can eat fish banquet ! Big hug from the Nightwish Army , we got you ❤️
It's absolutely normal to suffer after a soul. Pets are like our children, they are our family members. Any human been who has a heart full of good feelings gets attached by a pet.
Blessings to you and Bruno 😪 We pray memories of your time with him will soon replace your grief. This performance always brings out our emotional side, and your reaction hit us hard tonight. Please take care. Love from the great high desert of southeastern Arizona.
Thank you, that's so kind. Any time I get sad I try to look at his videos and listen to him meowing at me. I have him as all my screen savers so I think of him and keep him alive.
Truly sorry for your loss! Your genuine true emotion requires no apology! It highlights one often overlooked part of Tuomas’ (Nightwish) brilliance- lyrics! He makes even big burley hairy men cry!
So sorry to hear about Bruno.😿 Still hard to lose a loved one , even when you know it's coming. At least his suffering has ended. Glad you didn't hide this reaction. Hello Luna and Baxter. As far as the song, it was written as a single for the 1999 solar eclipse in Europe, the middle east, and India. "222 days of light will be desired by a night" , it was 222 days from the first of the year until the eclipse on August 11. The 2nd album, Oceanborn, was reissued later that year, with this song added. Floor is awesome on this, but recommend eventually checking out Tarja's version from Helsinki 2005 (End of an Era), she is amazing on this as well.
Thank you for sharing your emotions with us. I'm a cat lover too and feel your pain. This is a perfect song for remembering someone. I'm glad that you ended the video by introducing Bruno's apprentices. I think of all the music reaction videos I like yours the best because it was so honest and open. You are a queen among women!
I think that not everyone, but many, know and understand your feelings. A pet that lives with you, and not in the yard, is a part of you, it contains your emotions, its energy is in you, you become part of each other, and then the time comes when one of you leaves, and very often this is painful and premature ... it is a great grief to not be able to save a domestic creature from illness and ... (I don’t want to write this word). Remember, remember the moments of joy from communicating with him, how wonderful or funny he was, because he did not leave completely, he left traces of his paws in your soul, you will no longer be the same, you have changed thanks to him... as a consolation I will say that you are the only person who will live your entire life with you, others are just stages in your life and memories, hopefully pleasant ones.
I'm very sorry for your loss, Dom. It's always terribly difficult to say goodbye to a loved one. Time will help to heal the wounds. Always remember Bruno as he was in his prime, and the joy he gave you. I'm sure there are many happy memories that you can cherish ... in time they will be the ones that you recall, not the sadness of the now. Take care.
Thank you. I keep looking at the videos I have of him and got a beautiful portrait of him framed. I am keeping him alive. I love listening to his meows.
I have tears every time I watch this performance but of course there were more than normal this time due to your very moving reaction. RIP Bruno. Look after yourself and Lunar and Baxter. x
Thank you. Luna has been so amazing. She snuggled Bruno’s old blanket and has been clinging to me. And today I got a framed picture of Bruno and when I put it down Baxter immediately went up and rubbed against it. I’m not exaggerating they’re like cartoon cats. And so sweet.
Thank you, but I am worried people from work sub to this and will see. I actually don't like being this vulnerable, but I felt I'd be a hypocrite/ ass**le if I didn't mark Bruno's passing or acknowledge it here. He meant so much to me and joined me on so many videos.
So sorry to hear your Bruno has passed away, just remember he is always in your heart and remember those great times you had with him, in time the tears will turn to smiles.
My deepest sympathies, from a fellow Scot. I know just how deep the attachments can be between a cat and its Mum or Dad. People always say cats are cold and aloof, they obviously have never looked into a cat's eyes. You can see a fellow soul, and you know they are doing the same to you. You never forget the first time your cat comes up and rubs their head against yours. Again, I am so sorry for your loss. X
My boy was an instant love bug, his first night home he fell asleep in my arms and started chatting to me immediately. He greeted me at the door everyday I came home and always sat with me in my office. He knew I’d do anything for him. So I hold onto that.
Ugh, now I’m bawling like a child 😪 You’re right - they’re so much more than just pets. They’re family. My last dog, Max, got me through the darkest times of my life. I probably wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him. I had to send him over Rainbow Bridge when he was 17 & suffering too much. It was very sudden at the end & even all these years later, I still have a Max-shaped hole in my heart. I tend to prefer animals to most people & am into animal rescue work but even though we’ve since rescued another dog (a 115lb lovable but big, dopey eejit who takes up most of my bed), no dog could ever replace Max. We’d been through so much together. That’s not to say I don’t love our Cooper - it’s just in a slightly different way. You gave Bruno the loving home he deserved & even though it’ll take however long it takes, one day you’ll think of Bruno & just smile. I promise. Remember the love between you both. Hugs from a fellow animal-loving metal-head over in Belfast, Northern Ireland ❤️
Thank you. You're right. They never ever replace, but Luna and Baxter are so uniquely themselves. But you know what I love? I love that they had that time together and it's like a bridge to Bruno when I look at their cheeky little faces. They all bonded so quickly and I have no doubt Bruno would have continued to be the most epic sage teacher for them. They just thought he was a rockstar and they were so respectful of him.
Such a beautiful, raw, real reaction. Never apologize for your grief. Bruno was such a big part of your life. You deserve to deal with his passing in whatever way you need to. Make sure you take care of yourself at this difficult time. Kitten therapy is the best for everyone! 😻😻
People suggested it in the comments when I made a post to say he’d passed. And I went in blind. I don’t regret it but I’ve not been able to listen to the song again.
It's horrible losing a pet. Been down that road a few times. This is a beautiful song and Floor absolutely nails it. Probably a fitting time to hear it
When we really love this furry creatures, these little friends, so close to us, even closer than many humans... you have to have a cat to understand how close they get to us, how they understand when we are down, how they come when they see us sad and they give us what they have... softness, warmth, love. They say that cats are indiferent and selfish, but they are much more. I understand your pain, because I've been through it. The song is beautiful and Floor's rendition, incredible as always.
Greetings and Love from Germany again 💚...just heard bout Bruno..awe, my dear ..so sorry..I nearly didnt make it thru your video, damn, what an emotional journey. After Sammys passing i listen to the exact song just like you, what a wonderful song. I admire your strenght doing that reaction and was the absolute right thing to do, my dear. You may dont think that way right now. But I know you will later in time. I know the pain too well, it's a year ago since the passing of my little dog Sammy...and the pain still hit's that hard. I send you my lovin thoughts and positive spirits to give you strenght and to support you in those upcomming hard times. I'm sure Bruno had the most loving und most beautyful life, in a safe and warm home. Hugs & Cuddles from Germany ❤
Even before I have watched your reaction to this song, may I say I'm so sorry for your loss. A pet is not just a pet, he is a member of the family. I will now watch your (I'm sure emotional reaction) to the amazing Nightwish.
Gosh I’m reading all your comments right now and I’m in floods of tears again. I have to stop or I’m going to actually dissolve and start sobbing. Thank you. I love to know other people get that he wasn’t just a pet or just a cat to me. And I’m so sorry to anyone who has lost or is about to lose their fur baby. I feel you so much. Please anyone who reads this just go hug your pet for me and give them that extra treat. I’d give anything to hold Bruno one more time or feed him some fish. I’ll respond to comments soon. I’m going to go grab Luna and demand some shoulder time with her ❤❤❤
Kitties are always the best medicine. They make everything better!
Feeling and crying with you. Lost two kitties the past 6 years, and it was hard, very hard. First of old age, 22 1/2 years, blind, organ failure, she had to be let pass into eternal sleep. Our last cat we inherited from our daughter, she had no space in the center of town where she lived anymore, and was going to travel for a long time. Unfortunately, she was poisoned. Our vet tried really hard to save her, drips, and all kind of other procedures, but eventually nothing worked, and that was about 10 months ago. We had her for five years. She passed away in my arms, with a final little purr while I was stroking her. I am starting to cry again thinking about it.
I do think it is no shame to cry over losing a pet, a loved companion really, at all. I do hope it helps you in your recovery, try to think of the good moments, that is what I always try.
Love, hugs, warmest regards, Wim
Hey Dom, my condolences, I can imagine that it is very tough to lose a companion that's been with you for so many years and given you much love, the kittens surely will give you some new love in the difficult times. Take care.
I have 5 cats rescue of streets. they ' re my family..my life!!! ...
I said farewell to my doggy who was growing up with me since I was a 8yo kid, hi lived with us almost 20 years, few years since then have passed and now I have a kitty. Shes soooo adorable, shes like my little baby, I took her to early (she was only 7 weeks old) but I had to. I raised her literally, she now treats me as her cat parent. I have nightmare thoughts from time to time when I realise that she will also be gone someday... I know there will be long fantastic years untill this happen but it will. She was soooo tiny small, she was sleeping on my lap when I was listening to Nightwish reaction for all those 3 years I have her. This will be heartbreaking for me to watch You right now. The life isnt fair eh?
And damn You chose the wrong song for such a mood O.O be strong over there anyway.
Please don't feel you need to apologize for sharing your emotions, emotion is what binds us all but sadly most of us don't have the courage to let the world see what we feel, ultimately keeping us all in our sad, silent and separate lives, believing we are strange or deficient for feeling the things we do. If we could all open up, be human and share as you do, it would be an infinitely better world. Empathy grows in this way. I am sorry you are hurting, but the hurting is a tribute to the depth of your love. It is easy to see how loved Bruno was and is. We all leave traces of ourselves with others, especially those who love us. Bruno has left much of himself with you and with his apprentices as well. Enjoy the parts of you that are him. Love doesn't leave or die it is a bond that can't be erased by death or the passing of time.
Thank you for your courage and your trust in us to understand. You really make a difference in the world, and you have made an imprint on my heart and the hearts of many, just as Bruno has on yours. Sending virtual hugs, and from one spirt to another, you are loved. We cry, mourn and heal along with you. Thanks again for allowing us in, to share your life experience in this way it is a precious gift, we will handle with care.
Thank you! 🙏 your words are so kind and understanding. I felt like not acknowledging his passing would be so wrong and pretending I’m fine dishonest.
So sorry about Bruno - these wonderful creatures mean so much to us. The emotional depth of this song is illustrated by the fact that on the opening gig of Nightwish's recent tour in Belgium, Floor broke down in tears at the end. The pressure of having recently had surgery and treatment for breast cancer was a lot for her to take on. So yes, the meaning of the song and the emotional delivery is a lot. We all share your sadness and offer our sympathies. The apprentices are delightful.
Je zei wat ik wilde zeggen, bravo
Thank you! 🙏 this song just wrecked me. I still can’t listen to it. I just miss him so much and it’s almost unbearable I can’t pick him up or hold his little face in my hands.
Bruno was a handsome animal and seemed to be a cuddly armful as well,....je regret, mon cheri😂😢❤
Firstly, you made it. Secondly, you are NOT an idiot for crying. It takes more guts to show real emotion than it ever takes to hide them. Those we love, and it is never just limited to humans, are only truly gone when we forget them & there is so obviously a snowball's chance in hell of that ever happening because he wasn't just a cat, there's no such thing. He was & will always be a part of your family, a part of you. Thank you for showing us what it means, what it REALLY means to be open, honest, vulnerable, genuine & real. Sending you the biggest, tightest, warmest hug. The Rainbow Bridge is never easy, they're called fur babies for a reason, but you have NOTHING to apologize for. The strength & love you have shown in sharing this is beyond amazing and inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing with us & thank you for introducing us to those 2 gorgeous lil babies!!!!
Thank you, I hope you’ll get to see more of shoulder cat (Luna) and butterball (Baxter).
@@themetalmuse You are so welcome. Beautiful names for beautiful babies btw.
Thank you! Luna was nearly Lilith and Baxter’s middle name is Tiberius 🥹
@@themetalmuse Classical, meaningful and beautiful name choices for 2 of the most beautiful babies I've seen. My wife & I have 5!
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 well done Dom and of course condolences on the loss of your beloved cat!🙏
Thank you. ♡
I feel your pain Dom. 🙏🙏❣❣This song is very emotional. Floor returned to performing after her surgery and a close call with the dreaded C word. She also broke down on stage during the final chorus. She was overcome with emotions at being back on stage doing the thing she loves most.
Such a strong song.
I was there for that performance in Antwerp 2022. It was very emotional to see such a strong woman break, Empu also had to wipe away a tear and yet after that song the whole band continued full of energy. They never leave their fans wanting.🤟🏻🤟🏻🎶🎶

P.S. Nightwish music has healing effects that triggered your emotions even more.
I am so sorry for you loss, losing such a beloved member of your family. You need to grief and let it in. It will be grief and sweet memories, a tear and a smile.Allow it. It will help you. My sincere condolences. I wish you strenght and your other sweet animals will comfort you, i am speaking from experience. Bye from the Netherlands.
@@mkgym It must have been quite moving.
Your words and emotion hit me and I shed a tear too. RIP Bruno. This song and performance is beyond beautiful. Tuomas composed an absolute masterpiece and the colours and beauty of Floor´s voice are felt so deeply in the soul. Thank you for reacting despite all your pain..
Thank you, I’m in tears reading these comments. I miss my boy and it’s so comforting to hear others share their experiences and virtual hugs.
@@themetalmuse
The Nightwish Army is with you in this time of deep sorrow. RIP Bruno. You're so brave to do a reaction at this sad time.
Thank you 🙏 Bruno was a furry member of the NW Army by proxy so I felt this song really was the right choice on reflection.
I almost cry everytime I hear sleeping sun. Wish you the best. Great reaction. Rip Bruno.
That's TARJA song
Thank you 🙏
Sorry to hear about Bruno, all the best to you.
Thank you 🙏
Don't apologise for being human. I know what it's like to lose a kitty, and I totally understand your reaction. Hopefully, the new family members will bring you nothing but joy.
They’re wonderful 💗
Oh my dear I didn't know! I am so sorry for your loss 💔
I really hope you find comfort in their music, cry it out, let it flow, love, I know for a fact that Floor's voice can serve as a way of therapy to deal with all the pain you are feeling now. Most importantly though, do not apologize for crying over your boy's loss.
8:58 NO. MA'AM. STOP.... STOP CALLING YOURSELF AN IDIOT AND SAYING ALL THOSE STUFF. DO NOT BE THAT HARD ON YOURSELF.
9:58 REMEMBER HIM FOR HIS NATURE, FOCUS ON THAT, AND THE KITTENS.
Thank you 🥺 the kittens are keeping me going. Luna in particular was so close to Bruno. She snuggles his blanket and has been attached to me since he passed.
R.I.P Bruno! Always enjoyed him when he would make a guest appearance. And Thank you for allowing us to get to know him while he was still here. ❤️
He had to be part of everything, he was such a social baby.
Thanks! I feel your pain. ✌❤✌
❤️
Oh poor girl with all you're going through my heart goes out.
Thank you 🙏
Never wanted to hug a stranger so badly in all my life. Big squeezes from me xxx
Thank you. 🙏
Everybody cries during this song for everyone they ever lost at any point in their lives. Your heartfelt reaction is raw, real, and beautiful. As a cat owner, I feel the pain of your loss and the joy your other kitties give you. Nightwish is a tonic for what ails the world. The more the better.
Storytime is my go to mood booster.
Thank you for sharing with us, and for sharing Bruno with us. He will be greatly missed but we will never forget him. It's never easy, but you're not alone and neither are your tears.
Thank you 🙏🥺🙌
The loss of a loved pet is so painful. It's been about 8 years since my best boy ever passed and while it's gotten much easier, there are still times I grieve and sob. Hang in there.
It just hits at unexpected moments and suddenly you’re pushing back tears in the bread aisle …
So sorry for your loss. Never apologize for showing emotions. And yes in the right state of mind this is a very hard hitting song
I can’t listen to it again so far, came on while I was flying and I felt that familiar sting of tears and immediately switched it off.
A beautiful reaction to a beautiful song. Bless you and your beautiful Bruno.
Thank you 🙏
Oh my gosh, Dom. My heart is with you. Those of us who are animal people, and especially cat people, know what a huge hold they have on our hearts, and that when they leave, they leave a huge hole. My hopes for you is that hole will soon be at least partially filled by the love and sympathy all of us feel.
❤️🫂❤️❤️
Grieving is a process. Do it your own way and let it take the time it requires. My daughter recently, unexpectedly, lost her pet bunny, Danté, after 8 years, and is going through similar times. Prayers and best wishes to you and yours Dom!
Awe I so sorry. That must be so difficult for her ❤️
Life is full of all kind of emotions and Nightwish is good music to deal and feel tehm.
It really is. Storytime always makes me smile and gives me a boost.
I know the feelings you are going through, i lost my cat 6 months ago, he was with me 22 years (im 39)...it still hits Hard, they aren't just pets, they are family members. lots of love and hugs to you❤
I am so sorry you lost your baby. 22 is so damn impressive. He must have been loved so much by you.
I'm so sorry for your loss. My wife and lost 5 kitties in 3 years from 2008 to 2011. Didn't know I could hurt that much until my wife passed away last October. Your reaction opened my flood gates with you. Bruno won life's lottery when he found you to spend his life with.
R I P Bruno
Gosh I’m so sorry for your losses, you’re so strong for going on! 🫂🫂🫂
I'm so sorry for your loss, this got me so emotional as I remember when our last beloved cat past away last year. The evening he died I stumbled over the Nightwish song "Turn Loose The Mermaids" sung by Anette which had the same impact on me like sleeping sun had on You. We never had a cat again, the older I get the less I can take it to see them pass away. All the best and greetings from Germany, Martin
I’m so sorry to hear that and for your loss. I’ve got my two kitten babies to keep me going. But I totally get your POV.
As a proud owner of a 15 years old dog I'm grateful for each day I'm spending with him, so I'm really understanding your grief. In your case, you can't replace Bruno but you can always remember all the joy he gave you
I had a little dog named Jack that was rock solid for 17 years. Then his health turned just all of a sudden and he was gone in 5 days. The day he passed I was sitting at home and thought I heard that familiar scratch at the back door to be let in. I got up and answered the door out of pure habit and was kicked in the gut again when he wasn’t there and was reminded that he was gone.
I think of him so many times a day ❤️
Don’t just reading that made me cry. 😢
O my dear,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I am myself an intense cat lover and I can understand your feelings. I'm seventy now and all my life I had cats and every time they had their end their lives I went was in tears. In november my dear, sweet and tender Luna died and I was in tears for weeks and I still am every now and then when I think of her. And the uncertainty that you feel about if you (and the vet) treated her well is so vexing.
This was certainly not a humiliation for you. You look a compleet and healthy person with brains and feelings.
Love from Luca
Rotterdam, the Netherlands
Thank you for your kind words 🫶
You know I wrote my comment before reading others , and feel really proud to be a part of this awesome group of people (The Nightwish Army) showing support for this lovely young lady over the loss of her cat . Well done , this is what it's about , sharing a common interest in a "United Community" setting and having each other's back , this is what we need nowadays more than ever to remember our human side . 👍🇦🇺
Bruno wasn't just going to sleep with the sun, he was wakeing up with the light and maybe waiting for you in a place much more beautiful than here.
Thanks for this authentic and heartopening reaction.
God bless you!
Ahhh don’t I’m in tears again. I try to answer all comments and each time I come back to this video I get wrecked again emotionally and that was so beautiful but yeah now I’m crying again.
Sorry for your lost! This song is my #1 Nightwish song ever!!!
It’s so good but I’ve not been able to listen to it again, hurts too much. But I do love it.
The Nighwish army is with you ❤️💪✨
🫂🫂🫂🫂❤️❤️❤️
Watching woman cry to a song at 1:18 AM, starting to cry myself, inhaling water from glass. Coughing the water on my keyboard, sweeping the glass from table while doing all this. What a fucking great life.
On the serious note very nice to see these reactions! Glad to see people love the band from my small country.
I hope your keyboard is ok. Sorry this one was so painful for me. I can’t watch any videos with Bruno in them or that reference him. I smash the skip button whenever this song comes on my Spotify or I’ll be a mess wherever I am, even though I love it. On a related Nightwish note, I’m seeing Marko and Tarja in Hamburg soon!
@@themetalmuse Yeah i get that. Lost my pets to life too. Doesn't get much easier with time.
Have fun! Also i could recommend song to react to from Marco for the Christmas time. Its "Raskasta Joulua 2019 | "Sparrow on Christmas Morning" by Marco Hietala. Very pretty! its in our own language but has english subtitles
Seeing Marko and Tarja tomorrow 😇😇
@@themetalmuse Ohh have fun! Btw out of context, you're kinda hot!
Tarja rules
Not only was this a reaction, it was as pure, honest and sincere a reaction as there could ever be. I weep with you in your grief and wish you much healing. 💔❤🩹❤
Thank you 🙏❤️🥹
So sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing this video with us. Please don't apologize for sharing your true self with us. One of the things I love about Nightwish is how the mange to invoke such strong emotions in me. I hope Sleeping Sun helped you heal if only in a small way. I will offer a snippet of lyrics from the song Until Eternity by the Dutch gothic symphonic metal band Blackbriar . It is a beautiful love song about a love that lives on through successive lives of the couple. "
We live on and on and on
Death is weak and we are strong
On and on and on
Time is weak and we are strong
I would like to believe that those we love will appear again in whatever awaits us when we die. Many hugs for you and your kittens.
Thank you. I am so happy I have Baxter and Luna.
You don't need to apologize for your reaction. I think most of us watch these types of videos because we want real human reactions to the things we love. As hard as it was for you to do this video, I appreciate your vulnerability and sincerity with how you felt about this song during a time of grief. There is no denying that music has the ability to help us navigate loss, and sometimes part of that is just having a good cry. I lost my kitty of 15 in November and my father who was also my best friend passed away on Jan 2nd. Rocking out to music on my commute to work every morning has been my only therapy.
Same! Music is my therapy and serotonin. I am so sorry for your double loss. Sending you lots of positivity ❤️
So sad to hear about Bruno. He was always a star in your videos. Stay strong Dom. You wil never forget him but you wil get through this ordeal
I miss him so much. I watched old reactions just to see him in my arms purring again.
@@themetalmuse your video was very sad and full of grieving but also very beautiful to see. The love you had for him was so genuine and it showed. Stay strong Dom. We are all sharing the hurt with you
So sorry about the loss of Bruno. I know the pain only too well. This song always reminds me of my beautiful 18 year old desert dog Bertie who was struggling with mobility and got very sick. We knew the next day we were going to have to say goodbye to him and I sat up with him for hours through the night, and the whole time it was going through my head on repeat, "I wish that this nighttime would last for a lifetime." If it had, I'd never have had to let him go. Kudos for having the courage to show your emotions. Bruno's apprentices will do a great job of helping you through your grief 🥰
Awe you made me cry reading your comment. I still feel his loss everyday. I feel like he told Baxter and Luna I’d need them cos they’re so abnormally loving. And although they’re so sweet I still just miss my big boy. I’d do anything to have his big grey head headbutt me.
Oh, you poor thing! It's my first time watching one of your videos and I feel your pain. I send u a hug in this hard moment and music heals, always ❤
Thank you so much!
So sorry for your loss. Thank you for having a beautiful heart, babygirl.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dear Dom, I know exactly how you feel - same I had to go thru when my beloved dog passed away 3 years ago. She was such a deep part of me and even the best 'girlfriend' I ever met. It takes time to say good bye - I know. Take the chance of grieving and do not be ashamed about only one tear you spend. Bruno is worth it. I will never again have another dog, as I think he would see me die, and to have a pet means to have responsibility for its whole life, not mine. I am glad to see your kittens, they will have a huge part in your healing. Ok, I think I said enough now, but I wanted to tell you that it is part of nature. Richard Dawkins (maybe you know this from Nightwishs 'Greatest Show on Earth') brought the following words up: We are going to die and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die, because they never will be born.
All I can do from here in Germany is to reach out for you and hug you virtually!
Thank you 🥺
I'm a 65 year old man and nothing brings me to tears, except when my "good boy" Charlie passed in 2013 I blubbered like a baby. I know exactly what you are feeling. Chin up, this too shall pass and will be replaced in time by fond memories.
I just want him back so much. I am working my way through the comments right now but I think I just hit my limit for tonight. I've started blubbing again.
I totally understand! Since we moved to Austin, Texas, in 2014, I have lost my show dog, named Peek-a-boo. She was my constant companion, and my girly girl. We traveled all across the Southeastern coast of the US going to dog shows. I cried for months when she passed. We did have one of her puppies, that was born with fluid on the brain and his skull cap had not grown in completely. He passed in 2017 at 13 years old, when the vet told us he probably wouldn't live beyond 5 weeks. A few months later we rescued a little Maltese who had a bad kidney from the neglect. We took care of him, and gave him more love than we know he never had until his kidney failed.
I grieve with you...as I know how much it hurts. I was crying with you, and am sending you big hug
I love your girls name. What a sweetie pie. I love that your kind soul rescued another fur baby. 🫂
RIP. Bruno ❤
🙏
Sorry about Bruno. I have difficulties to contain my emotions with most Nightwish songs, but you made it impossible to not cry with you. I wish you al the best.
Awe I’m sorry 😔
Dont be.You lost a dear friend. I have only lost a few tears.@@themetalmuse
Sorry for your loss. My family has lost 2 dogs and 2 cats, and they've all been hard. I have a big orange tabby that I love dearly, and I can't imagine not having him around. That song always hits me hard too. It has that dreamy, ethereal quality to it that is so beautiful.
Your description is spot on!
Hi beautiful soul,
I am so sorry for your loss. It was always nice to see Bruno in your reactions.
And skip this reaction? Bail on you when you need support? No way.
I wish I could give you a long comforting hug right now.
I do not think I speak only for myself when I say my thoughts are with you, I think loads of people are with you.
Take your time to grieve, do not force yourself to hold it together, let it all out. You lost a loved one, you will be okay, but it will take time.
Take your time, lots of hugs and love from all of us. ❤
Thank you 🙏 I know alot of people just come for the reaction but I know those who come regularly knew him and liked him so I felt I had to address it.
I am so sorry for your loss! A few years back I had a cat live to 18 before he passed and it was like loosing a family member. I still think of him.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My sincere condolences for your loss. Bruno was such a delightful interruption of your reactions. He will be dearly missed - hope his apprentices give you a bit of relief, although they can only add, but never replace him.
They remind me of his so much. Luna still cuddles behind me the way she did with Bruno. And Baxter is my shadow the way Bruno was. They definitely ease the loss and remind me they need the same level of love that Bruno got.
An honest lady. Grief is real and you should let it out. We will be here for you.
Thank you 🙏
i'm glad you were able to bring yourself to react to this one Dom, and i'm glad our comments brought some comfort to you in your difficult time
Awe I’m sorry you’re at that stage too. Hug her from me.
...sorry for your loss... other great, but also quite emotional NW songs for the passing of loved ones are their "Meadows of heaven" and "Angel's fall first". Take care 🤘❤😌👍
I’ll wait to react to those, it’s still way too raw.
No no no. Its.the most honest reaction we will ever see!😢 as a pet owner myself. I totaly understand. That said, if lyrics hit that hard then its ment for you. A great loving caring person.😊
Thank you 🙏 hug your babies tight 🫂
So sorry to hear of Bruno's passing. It was obvious how much he meant to you, and it's a very painful thing to go through. He'll be missed on the channel too, and I was grateful (as I'm sure you were) that he fought to hang on longer than expected. But I'm sure that doesn't make it any easier to deal with now.
I loved the video of Bruno with his apprentices, as well as the new footage of them. I'm glad that you have them around, and I hope they help you get through this difficult time.
Probably not the best Nightwish song to react to under the circumstances, but also in a way, very fitting.
Wishing you all the best moving forward! 🫶
Thank you, the kittens are getting so much focus and love from me. I see Bruno in them and they adored him so much. I feel like they picked up his sweetness.
You was so strong❤
🙏
Best Boy Bruno.
You had a great time and a great Mom and Dad while you were here.
We are sad your lovely self is gone.
But we (she) are so glad you had your time under the sun. You made life better, even for fools on the net, watching your tail parade past the cam.
Dom, you need hugs... and 'effective' hugs don't come from the screen... you know best what to do.
But until then, here's a virtual shoulder.
Bruno: make your spirit known every once in a while .. tip over a plant, let your furz irritate a nose or two.
You know the best way to pop in... maybe in a vision in a sunset's dimmest light.
It's comfort, for her. As she was a comfort for you.
... sorry, I need to go cry now. Damn you Dom. And, love to jyou and yours, as always.
EDIT: I nearly cut the vid short, but
LUNA and BAXTER !! Welcome.
You cannot possibly replace the one who preceded you, but you while shine in you own right.
Now, find the nearest cup of tea and knock it off the desk. Good kittens.
Hahaha Baxter and Luna have been doing an awesome job of taking care of their mumma. Both so so so cuddly. I can’t wait till they start meowing at me the whole time the way Bruno did. They picked up some of his traits in their 3 months together.
The grieving you did here is an essential step towards healing.
Thank you 🙏
Hello Dom. You are a beloved member of our Nightwish community and we appreciate you sharing your feelings with us. We can all empathize with you. Most of us have been right where you are now. Let the tears flow. That is your reaction.😢
Knowing other people get it and can empathise actually helps. He wasn't just a cat or pet. He like a little furry angel given to me on loan to protect and spoil.
Sooo sorry for hearing about Bruno. My thoughts are with you and I feel your pain. We are NEVER ready to have our loved ones taken away even when we know that these days will come. Hugh hugs and kisses to you. Be strong and think about all of us thinking about You and Bruno. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you 🙏
Hi. So sorry for your loss. I lost two of of my kitties during COVID, one in October, 2019, my dearest one, the not just a kitty, in June 2020. I had to put her down, I held her in my arms in a parking lot in my car, since I couldn’t go in, so they brought the medication to the car, then took her from me. Heartbreaking stuff for we mere mortals.
Floor had a short bout with cancer in 2022, caught early, & removed, we, & of course she was so relieved. Floor being Floor soon went off to tour with the band sadly. She really needed more time, as anyone would. Dropping you a link of a fan video of one of those concerts, of Floor singing this song. As you can see you are in good company I would say. Btw…she got right on having her second child last year, we certainly can understand why, being a 41 year old woman. So happy everything turned out so well for her. Again, so sorry for your little guy. ❤

I do not know how you coped. That would have ended me having to do it in a carpark and then hand him over. We had the vet come to the house and to be honest I howled with pain after he passed and just couldn't let him go. I couldn't breath or stop shaking. When the crematory people came to get him they laid him out for me and put flowers on him but I coudln't stop sobbing. I am crying now as I type this cos it's brought it back so raw and visceral. I miss that fuzzy boy.
Oh Dom, my heart is breaking. My sincere condolences.
Thank you 🙏
Grieving takes time, I hope at least this song gave you some ease and comfort, and thank you for this reaction, we're here for you. ❤😘🙌🙏 Stay healty and strong, and be sure that Bruno is watching you from his fluffy cloud. 😇🤗🙏❤
R.I.P Bruno. ❤❤❤
I think he’s still with me and when my dad woke up from his surgery he kept saying Bruno was on the bed in the hospital. That just destroyed me. Ended up crying my eyes out.
@@themetalmuse wow, i can only imagine how hard did that hit you...I'm sure you get many reminders of Bruno every day, and every day you're learning how to deal with it and how to heal, keep going dear Dom, you got this. 💪😘❤️
I often cry with this song even if nothing sad has happened. I weept with you, through the whole video.
I can’t even listen to it again. It came on randomly through my headphones while I was in the office and I felt that sting of tears. If I let myself start crying it takes a lot to stop it. Actually I teared up just typing that.
@@themetalmuse I understand.
Your heart is so tender.
Hello Dom, greetings from UK
I am so so sorry to hear about Bruno, my heart is with you ❤ I am glad that we had a chance to meet him, and thank you for introducing us to his brothers, they are adorable
I am glad that you decided to do this video, we are your family and we want to be there for you in your time of grief. You should be able to just post a video and say exactly what you feel whenever you feel the need to do so, we will listen and support you if we can
In olden times in some cultures people would go to a canyon, cliff, or the shoreline and shout out into the abyss their problems, their grief or their anger and the four winds would take their pain and carry it far away. Let us be your winds, and will share your pain and carry it far away so that you do not have to shoulder that burdon alone!
Much love to you 🥰
Thank you for those kind kind kind words! I felt very alone in my pain before all these amazing messages.
@@themetalmuse We love you Dom ❤
you don't realise how much they have taken over your life until you do something that you expect the interruption or interaction to happen and...it doesn't. It is the hard part of befriending or being befriended by a lifeform that doesn't share our longevity! My grandmother used to say "you haven't lived if you haven't grieved" and I didn't understand but now I am older I realise what she meant was that you only grieve if you have allowed yourself an emotional connection to or with something or someone. RIP
100% he’d been a constant in my life through so many ups and downs and now I feel his loss so painfully.
Just met Bruno in the last video and now he has departed. Great to see him with the kittens and how they got on. It took a year before my senior Top Cat got used to the new Bengal siblings and started showing some affection to each other. Beautiful video, empathy is what makes who we are.
Couldn't agree more!
I have also lost a dog myself.
And I still feel the pain, it will get better with time, but you will never forget it.
This song always reminds me of her.
And I still shed a tear.
But I am still happy that I was able to take care of this dog in my life.
I hope when my time comes I will see her again.
Lots of strength from the Netherlands.
I have the same hope!
People like her and you make people find out theres a richer life within us. Thank You!

I saw your face and immediately knew what was going on. I'm very sorry. I know that words are of little comfort in this case. Time heals all wounds. Remember the beautiful moments and look forward to them lasting forever. Give another cat a beautiful life. This is not a replacement, but it is good for your heart and soul. The love you give is what you get back. Feel hugged and all the best.😘🤗 P.S. You really are such a lovely person and I cry with you all the time. I know exactly the pain I feel after losing 4 dogs and 3 cats over the course of 45 years!
I appreciate that, thank you will. Yeah I looked really rough in this video. My eyes were so raw and face swollen. I was beyond wrecked. Now I just cry at random times. But my kittens are keeping me going.
@@themetalmuse Of course, this song was particularly hard now. I'm surprised you even managed to do that. My knowledge of human nature tells me that you are a wonderful person and that makes me happy in these times. I wish you lots of strength and see you soon.😜👋
I love this line from 'WandaVision', "What is grief, if not love persevering?" I'm so sorry for your loss.
Oh don't I might break down again!
Sorry to hear about loosing your little friend sweetheart , he is at rest in an awesome place with his furry friends now , chasing mice and having an all you can eat fish banquet ! Big hug from the Nightwish Army , we got you ❤️
awe. so sorry for what youre going through. also never apologize for showing your emotions. ❤️
It's absolutely normal to suffer after a soul. Pets are like our children, they are our family members. Any human been who has a heart full of good feelings gets attached by a pet.
🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂
Sorry to hear about your loss... my deepest condolences to you. ❤
You don't have to apologize for being real and honest. I loved your reaction. ❤️
Thank you 🙏
RIP Bruno and I feel so sorry for your loss, Dominique 😔. I just wanna give you a BIG hug!! ❤
Thank you 🫂
Blessings to you and Bruno 😪 We pray memories of your time with him will soon replace your grief. This performance always brings out our emotional side, and your reaction hit us hard tonight. Please take care. Love from the great high desert of southeastern Arizona.
Thank you, that's so kind. Any time I get sad I try to look at his videos and listen to him meowing at me. I have him as all my screen savers so I think of him and keep him alive.
My heart goes out to you. It's always devastating to lose a loved one no matter if they're human or pet. I really do like you. 😢
🥹🥲
Truly sorry for your loss! Your genuine true emotion requires no apology! It highlights one often overlooked part of Tuomas’ (Nightwish) brilliance- lyrics! He makes even big burley hairy men cry!
Thank you 🙏
So sorry to hear about Bruno.😿 Still hard to lose a loved one , even when you know it's coming. At least his suffering has ended. Glad you didn't hide this reaction. Hello Luna and Baxter.
As far as the song, it was written as a single for the 1999 solar eclipse in Europe, the middle east, and India. "222 days of light will be desired by a night" , it was 222 days from the first of the year until the eclipse on August 11. The 2nd album, Oceanborn, was reissued later that year, with this song added.
Floor is awesome on this, but recommend eventually checking out Tarja's version from Helsinki 2005 (End of an Era), she is amazing on this as well.
Greetings from the padwans 🙏
So here I find myself 8 months after you lost Bruno saying to you I feel sorry for your loss....and crying my eyes out with you. 🙏🏻🍀🦋✨
Thank you for sharing your emotions with us. I'm a cat lover too and feel your pain. This is a perfect song for remembering someone. I'm glad that you ended the video by introducing Bruno's apprentices. I think of all the music reaction videos I like yours the best because it was so honest and open. You are a queen among women!
I think that not everyone, but many, know and understand your feelings. A pet that lives with you, and not in the yard, is a part of you, it contains your emotions, its energy is in you, you become part of each other, and then the time comes when one of you leaves, and very often this is painful and premature ... it is a great grief to not be able to save a domestic creature from illness and ... (I don’t want to write this word). Remember, remember the moments of joy from communicating with him, how wonderful or funny he was, because he did not leave completely, he left traces of his paws in your soul, you will no longer be the same, you have changed thanks to him... as a consolation I will say that you are the only person who will live your entire life with you, others are just stages in your life and memories, hopefully pleasant ones.
Thank you. I focus on his pictures, videos and remeber the good times. He had an epic life.
I'm very sorry for your loss, Dom. It's always terribly difficult to say goodbye to a loved one. Time will help to heal the wounds. Always remember Bruno as he was in his prime, and the joy he gave you. I'm sure there are many happy memories that you can cherish ... in time they will be the ones that you recall, not the sadness of the now. Take care.
Thank you. I keep looking at the videos I have of him and got a beautiful portrait of him framed. I am keeping him alive. I love listening to his meows.
I have tears every time I watch this performance but of course there were more than normal this time due to your very moving reaction. RIP Bruno. Look after yourself and Lunar and Baxter. x
Thank you. Luna has been so amazing. She snuggled Bruno’s old blanket and has been clinging to me. And today I got a framed picture of Bruno and when I put it down Baxter immediately went up and rubbed against it. I’m not exaggerating they’re like cartoon cats. And so sweet.
Never be ashamed for your feelings. Virtual hugs and best wishes.
Thank you, but I am worried people from work sub to this and will see. I actually don't like being this vulnerable, but I felt I'd be a hypocrite/ ass**le if I didn't mark Bruno's passing or acknowledge it here. He meant so much to me and joined me on so many videos.
So sorry to hear your Bruno has passed away, just remember he is always in your heart and remember those great times you had with him, in time the tears will turn to smiles.
Thank you. Being able to think of him and not cry feels so far away right now.
My deepest sympathies, from a fellow Scot. I know just how deep the attachments can be between a cat and its Mum or Dad. People always say cats are cold and aloof, they obviously have never looked into a cat's eyes. You can see a fellow soul, and you know they are doing the same to you. You never forget the first time your cat comes up and rubs their head against yours. Again, I am so sorry for your loss. X
My boy was an instant love bug, his first night home he fell asleep in my arms and started chatting to me immediately. He greeted me at the door everyday I came home and always sat with me in my office. He knew I’d do anything for him. So I hold onto that.
Ugh, now I’m bawling like a child 😪 You’re right - they’re so much more than just pets. They’re family. My last dog, Max, got me through the darkest times of my life. I probably wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him. I had to send him over Rainbow Bridge when he was 17 & suffering too much. It was very sudden at the end & even all these years later, I still have a Max-shaped hole in my heart. I tend to prefer animals to most people & am into animal rescue work but even though we’ve since rescued another dog (a 115lb lovable but big, dopey eejit who takes up most of my bed), no dog could ever replace Max. We’d been through so much together. That’s not to say I don’t love our Cooper - it’s just in a slightly different way. You gave Bruno the loving home he deserved & even though it’ll take however long it takes, one day you’ll think of Bruno & just smile. I promise. Remember the love between you both. Hugs from a fellow animal-loving metal-head over in Belfast, Northern Ireland ❤️
Thank you. You're right. They never ever replace, but Luna and Baxter are so uniquely themselves. But you know what I love? I love that they had that time together and it's like a bridge to Bruno when I look at their cheeky little faces. They all bonded so quickly and I have no doubt Bruno would have continued to be the most epic sage teacher for them. They just thought he was a rockstar and they were so respectful of him.
Never an idiot. It is an emotional time for you. The reaction was great and sad and a worthy epitaph for Bruno.
🫂🫂🫂
Such a beautiful, raw, real reaction. Never apologize for your grief. Bruno was such a big part of your life. You deserve to deal with his passing in whatever way you need to. Make sure you take care of yourself at this difficult time.
Kitten therapy is the best for everyone! 😻😻
They are really good therapists and they picked up some of his sweet nature too.
I am really sorry that Bruno has passed away. Such a beautiful cat😪🙏. Don't forget. We all love you and stand with you with your lost
Thank you, he was gorgeous. 🥹
i am so sorry about Bruno. he will always be in your heart. he was beautiful. i sent you a big hug😢
Thank you! ❤️
I was thinking that after your loss, this may be a very hard song to get through. Most cry when we are happy. Sorry for your loss! 😢❤
People suggested it in the comments when I made a post to say he’d passed. And I went in blind. I don’t regret it but I’ve not been able to listen to the song again.
It's horrible losing a pet. Been down that road a few times. This is a beautiful song and Floor absolutely nails it. Probably a fitting time to hear it
Bruno will be in your arms again. He's always on your heart ❤❤
Always!!
When we really love this furry creatures, these little friends, so close to us, even closer than many humans... you have to have a cat to understand how close they get to us, how they understand when we are down, how they come when they see us sad and they give us what they have... softness, warmth, love. They say that cats are indiferent and selfish, but they are much more. I understand your pain, because I've been through it. The song is beautiful and Floor's rendition, incredible as always.
You get it 100%! And anyone who thinks they’re aloof has never owned a cat. Bruno was so needy.
Greetings and Love from Germany again 💚...just heard bout Bruno..awe, my dear ..so sorry..I nearly didnt make it thru your video, damn, what an emotional journey. After Sammys passing i listen to the exact song just like you, what a wonderful song. I admire your strenght doing that reaction and was the absolute right thing to do, my dear. You may dont think that way right now. But I know you will later in time. I know the pain too well, it's a year ago since the passing of my little dog Sammy...and the pain still hit's that hard. I send you my lovin thoughts and positive spirits to give you strenght and to support you in those upcomming hard times. I'm sure Bruno had the most loving und most beautyful life, in a safe and warm home. Hugs & Cuddles from Germany ❤
I’m sorry for your loss of Sammy. 🫂❤️🫂
@@themetalmuse awe, thank you very much, my dear..that´s very nice from you....💚🌈
You are a bright sun of emotions. Your tears brought tears in my eyes aswell. Take care❤
Thank you and you too ❤️
Even before I have watched your reaction to this song, may I say I'm so sorry for your loss. A pet is not just a pet, he is a member of the family. I will now watch your (I'm sure emotional reaction) to the amazing Nightwish.
I hope liked it 🙏 and enjoyed the kitten pics.
