Remember to let the video play out to the end, when you react to The Greatest Show on Earth. Oh yeah - and again such an enjoyable reaction. Thanks for telling the back story to Helo. And I love how Helo really gets into the music and the performance.
Great reaction as always guys! It's good that you gave her some background before hand regarding the meaning behind the song. As for a couple of suggestions for other Nightwish songs, how about some "solo-ish" songs like "The Islander" or "While Your Lips Are Still Red" featuring Marko, or "Sleeping Sun" featuring Floor...I think the ones I'm thinking if were live at the Tampere(sp?) show. Thanks!! 🙂
Really wish I understood what he was saying. I love your reactions, but haven't subscribed because I don't understand what he's saying. Could you add English subtitles for what he's saying?
Otra vez: El nombre Floor se pronuncia como suelo en inglés o flor en castellano. Es decir, FLOR, no FLUR. Once more: The name Floor is pronounced like floor in English or flower in Spanish (i.e. FLOR, not FLUR).
I'm 54 years old and have been listening to heavy metal music since I was around 10. I grew up with and listened to all of the iconic bands. Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera. I could go on and on. This version of this song is not only my favorite Nightwish song but my favorite song EVER. That's no small feat considering all of the music that has played in my ears over the last few decades.
I'd never heard of Nightwish or Floor until around 6 months ago after being nagged to listen to them so I did and listened to this very song live from Wembley and OMG I was blown away and have been ever since. As a lifelong Electric Light Orchestra (E.L.O) fan Nightwish are now with them as my two all time favourites. How Nightwish aren't a household name everywhere is beyond me. 👍🙏😊
well, I don’t think so. I believe she likes Floor’s voice but she doesn’t love it. I mean, THSOE is a song for hardcore fans. During the reaction I saw her more pleased with Marco’s voice! haha I meant....
@@0rgazman George Michael is brilliant but he did not sing this song did he? This was Floor Jansen singing. Our Dutch metal Valkyrie Queen. If you want to hear George Michael sing you can listen to many other songs by him... All brilliant. But this song however belongs to Tuomas as composer and Floor as singer. Floor performs this song like no one else ever will.
She is by far the best in these reactions. She acknowledges the band members and when/what they play. As a musician, each time the music gets a nod, it's appreciated. Especially when it's so hard to see passed Floor's unearthly talent. Good reaction.
I remember to this day, when i heard first 5 seconds of "The Pacific" part for the first time ever, I just couldn't handle anymore and I walked out of the room, my ears were not prepared for Floorgasm... To this day i believe this is the best written, composed and performed song of Nightwish. For sure my favourite.
15:37 I love that she noticed how Marco & Emppu walked over to surround Tuomas with love and support at the end,both knowing that this song allways was extremely difficult for Tuomas to play live😍😍
A powerful masterpiece. You can break down every line of lyrics and see just what Tuomas was thinking and going through at the time. Emotional roller coaster of a song. Every time the Mother and Father part starts, the onion cutters seem to be around.
Same with me. As soon as the song reaches the line, “Be still, my son, you are home,” my eyes start watering up. The tears usually start leaking out by “All you need is to feel my love.”
With this song I always like to point out how it starts with the words "The end" Tuomas being pessimistic and thinking it is over. And it ends with the words "The beginning" Tuomas realizing that every ending is a new beginning.
I don't know if you know that Tuomas wrote about his suicide in this song so he would not do it in real life. At the end Marko and Empuu go stand by Tuomas to support him. Because still to this day this song gets him emotionally. And those two were around when it happened. In the Mother Father part some of the words in the lyrics are exactly what his mother said to him. Great reaction by the two of you. Thank you for sharing........... :-)
Well I've seen this song....🤔 well just say Several times, and I never saw Emppu standing with Tuomas and Marco at the end, untill I read this message 👀🤣 Thnx 👌👊
@@Syp74 You are welcome. Empuu walks over there a couple of times. I know he does that a lot. He can't stay still. Even Tuomas has said that......... lol
@@fdsannie yeah I know he goes walking about during the whole concert, sometimes messing around with band members 👌 but This moment I had never seen before! 😘 ...👊
This performance crushes me every time. I just watched the vid while on the bus home from work with watery eyes from the start. The bushfire smoke hanging around probably didn't help but the emotional output of this piece is enormous. I'm glad you had Helo on board for this one. She's such a rock chick, it's great to see her enjoy these songs.
Yeah Wembley 2015 that date will be in my heart for eternity. Everytime i see this i remember what a rollercoaster it was. Its like standing there again. Lets give Thoumas a hug.
I really like the chemistry of the both of you reacting. You should also react to the Greatest show on Earth and Yours is An Empty Hope in Tampere. I mean there are so many good choices but those two would fit perfectly now.
The part "Mother and Father" actually has parts of a conversation Tuomas had with his parents when he visited home around the time he was writing the song
@@RafaReactions Im a big time Nightwish fan and a Floor fan, my recomendations, "Ever Dream" and "Storytime" at Wacken (same concert as Ghost Love Score), Floor Janssen vilja lied (she takes and opera song and makes it metal)
I fell in love with this song long before I actually knew what it was about, and since then it has only made the song more magical and powerful for me.
I just love how one of you speaks Spanish and one English, and it just flows. Love to listen to it. Languages are great. :) Oh, and good reaction as well. :)
@@RafaReactions This is the first UA-cam video, where I turned the subtitles on to understand your words too. This is by no means criticism! Not at all. It is a nice reminder that there are more than one language in this current world of the Internet. (Oh, by the way. I am a native Finn. Yet another tiny minority language not spoken on the 'net...) Thank you both for your exhilarating, warm and companion-like reactions! Loved watching it!
I love this too. I rarely get to speak spanish, but it's a lot easier for me to practice my listening if only one half of the conversation es en espanol :D
It's amazing how some music can change people's mentality and make them more intelligent, that's one of the reasons why I love Nightwish, this music makes Millennials and the Z generation think.
Hola! Amo sus reacciones! Watching Helo is such a delight! In the end, Mother and Father always gets me, luego Floor con esa especie de llanto, like a siren crying for the loss of a loved one... Ugh... ❤💔
16:40 concuerdo totalmente!! La parte cantada que se interpreta a la madre del poeta, es algo que hace recordar mucho a ese afecto tan intenso que tenemos por nuestra madre. A dónde volvemos, cada vez que pasamos algún sufrimiento en nuestra vida. Aunque sea, volvemos con nuestro pensamiento. Y eso se convierte en una caricia al alma. En lo personal, la parte final siempre me llegó más con la voz de Anette. Cuando cantaba esa parte, tenía esa cosa maternal y dulce, que me hace recordar mucho a mí madre. Con esto no estoy desmereciendo a Floor su interpretación es bellísima! Pero comparto mí pensamiento. Gracias por esta genial reacción de mí canción favorita😁👏👏👏
Wow! Great reaction. That part in the end where she sings the words of his mother always gets me too. If I haven’t teared up by then that’s when it happens. Thank you!
Great reaction. I love watching you both react to nightwish. By the way, thanks for the Chair. 😉 This Band looks into every little detail. When Floor speaks this vers: "Years have I been strapped unto this altar Now I only have three minutes and counting." It takes 3 minutes and then the blade falls. Really a masterpiece and very hard on Tuomas, as you can see in this video. Thanks again for the nice reaction.
Me encanta que él hable en spanish y ella lo entienda por completo. Es un buen complemento para los dos idiomas; eres un grande Ricky, sigue asi!!!!!!!
On a more serious note: Ms. Helo, in case you had any doubt that this song was about Tuomas, consider this: Right at the end of Part IV, right before you hear the heartbeat slowing and then stopping, had you been watching, you would have seen Tuomas make a sliding motion with his hand from front to back, as the pendulum figuratively finishes descending and kills Tuomas, the titular "poet" of this song. And, Tuomas is such a genius composer that the pendulum figuratively killing him strikes exactly three minutes after you hear the voice talking about being "strapped onto this altar." And the whole reason for this song? Because Tuomas felt betrayed when Nightwish's fanbase turned on him after being forced to release Tarja Tarunen, their original vocalist, in 2005, over personal issues that could not be resolved. This song literally gives you every emotion that anyone who has ever been betrayed goes through -- because when you are betrayed, all you can do is ask "Why?" And when you get no answer, all you feel is hopelessness, depression, anger, and rage. Which is why I, personally, know what this song is about, because this song, musically, expresses the whole emotional state I find myself in whenever I have suffered betrayal at the hands of someone I thought I could trust.
The so-called "betrayal" is very questionable to say the least, and I am sure he wrote the song in the moment of anger and depression, no disputing that. I do however think he is of a different state of mind today regarding what happened with him and Tarja. Personally, I think it's pretty logical to question someone who feels the need to publicly humiliate and hang someone for the kill, which is what he figuratively did to Tarja, expressing some serious accusations that are quite damaging, and mixing in issues like culture based on very thin, to non-existent arguments. In addition, to hide important facts from the context to the point of blatantly lying and then talking about morality, he is is no martyr, he dug himself into this position.
@@FemaleMetalLover And yet the entire band band signed off on getting rid of her. The open letter, the song, thats how artits cope with problems, especially emotionals. For him it was a betreyal, and no one can blame him for it. Check some behind the scences about nightwish with Floor and see the difference. They look like family now. Not to mention It was Tarja's husband, walking piece of shit, who wanted Nightwish to basically become Tarjas beckup band. She made her choice and he made his, its not our place to tell him how to feel about it or judge him. If I had band I was whinking "this is it", we will be together till the and then hearing in the interview the Vocalist saying that next album will be her last with the band. Without telling this to anyone else. I would've done much worse then him. Oh, and ofc Emppu and Marco checking out how Tuomas is during the song was just for show as well right?
@@FemaleMetalLover Whole band agreed and signed the letter, not to mention the letter was the right thing to do - they didn't want to just let someone go quietly behind everyone's backs and then claim as if nothing happened. It was a no win situation, any and every choice was bad and they took the least bad option, as it seemed to them. It was either let one person go, or lose every other person, not to mention that one person would have jumped the boat anyway. Natural choice, if asking anyone with any reason. Open letter was simply to show to everyone what was done and why it was done. Obviously people outside of the band don't know the real things behind issues and obviously they took it out of the context and came up with their own "ideas" and "reasons", exactly the thing what the letter was thought to clear. So no, Tuomas "didn't do that thing to Tarja", it was the decision of the whole band. Tarja and her husband did "that thing" to the band already before and were damaging it with each passing day. In the end, to save everything they had to get rid of one thing, even when that one thing was someone they knew for a long time. Save the being by removing the tumour. No nice way to do that, there's always blood.
He is not talking about being betrayed by the fan base but about feeling betrayed by a friend which would be Tarja in this case. In fact, when he talks about not being able to cry 'cause the shoulder cries more, he is probably talking about the fans
I´m a man, sittin on my chair in germany in fornt of a computer and I´m cryin tears of happiness. I love Tuomas, I love Marco, I love Floor, all of them! Thx Nightwish!
Tuomas Holopainen is a genius, his compositions are masterpieces, Nightwish albums "Whismaster", "Once", "Oceansborn", "Over the hills and far away", "Century child", "Dark Passion play", "Imaginarium", "Angels Fall first", etc. Other bands like "Auri", "Eternal tears of sorrow", and "The Life and time of Scrooge"
Same here.....Many times, i tried to hold back the tears, but when floor sings " You have such oceans within In the end I will always love you" i'm losing it ......every single time.
me too man, my parents left me laying on the floor during a massive stroke i'm still messed up 36 years later they have passed but i ball like a girl and i'm now 57
I love watching these two having a discussion. He obviously understands English but chooses to speak Spanish. She obviously understands Spanish but chooses to speak English. Charming. You two should react to Nightwish: Greatest Show On Earth - Live@Tempere
Nice to see you two again enjoying one of Nightwish's epic masterpieces, which Floor really brings to life with her amazing ability to convey emotions with both her stellar vocals & body language. P.S. Still not told Heloisa what her name means, have you? P.S. Did you know that there's a demo version of this song with Marco singing all the vocals, even those by the two choir boys in the official version, and he's just amazing too? Also, have you noticed that it takes exactly 3 minutes from when the young boy's voice says "Now I only have 3 minutes and counting" to the point when the blade kills Tuomas & he makes a hand gesture of cutting his throat?
Thanks, this is always a tearful journey to me. As a Finn, I understand how Tuomas end up to to this song. And every time when I heard this, I live "his life" and feel his feelings. I like this idea, when you have someone here and you do reaction with her. Also, like in this song, cos you are NW fan, you give good explanation to your guest before the song. This feels good idea :D . I enjoy much. Also she likes NW, so, it feels also good how she enter to NW world little by little. :-)
Imagine me preparing for work while listening to this, suddenly tears flowing dammit, maybe because i sing with emotion and the Valkyrie Goddess does it even better
Loved your reactions to this song, not afraid to show your humanity instead of putting on a false face like so many other UA-cam'rs out there. Helo, you are stunningly beautiful and it's a gift to share what you're feeling with one of our favorite bands.
OMG all the songs of Nightwish are increeibles i love that band. By the way i love Helo please Raf Bring her back to the channel, I love her, I love her
O man I've been waiting for this. The way you two where into this .... worth waiting for. I feel like the word 'epic' was created for performances like this. It gives me shivers and soothes me all in one go.
At the end Marko and Empuu go stand by Tuomas to support him. Because still to this day this song gets him emotionally great tuomas great band thank you nightwish
Thx for the reaction you two !! Such a powerful masterpiece. We should start a get me a damn new chair fund for you lol but you did do better on it than the last vid , looking forward to some more Nightwish. 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼
Meeting people as genuine, lovely and sweet like you guys, here on UA-cam is what makes this such a addicting platform... and the ever growing Nightwish Family just consists of so many sweet and wonderful people from all over the world! Thank you guys, you made my day!
WOW 🤩 She is amazing and has a beautiful voice and makes me feel and get into the story she tells, I really loved it and thanks for sharing it and I met her here for your video reactions to Dimash that are also spectacular, but let me tell you that I am now a fan 🙋♀️of #nightwish she also made me cry the song and the magnificent voice🤩👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hi from the UK. Intense reaction! Nightwish..there are few words. Their epic performances and powerful stories are told so wonderfully by Floor. Stay safe. Best wishes.
Bro this woman is amazing. So much appreciation for this music. That's a keeper brother. That's how I met my wife too was finding a girl that appreciates this kinda music even though she didn't go looking for it.
Watching these two always give me a Star Wars vibe where you have constantily characters in fluent conversation speaking each one in their own language.
Amo sus reacciones y tengo el mis men o sentimiento...obvio a nightwish y en especial a floor, desde after forever...pero si o si tienes que hacer reaccion de romanticide es que es unica...la mejor vibra desde Colombia.
Oh watching this again with you made me tear up like the first time I watched it. Keep reacting for us. You’re great. Next up... Greatest Show on Earth live Tampere or Phantom of the Opera live with the original vocalist Tarja. Without her The Poet and the Pendulum would never have been created.
Hi ! Thanks so much for watching !! Remember to subscribe if you like my reactions and suggest other songs to react !!! #nightwishforever !
Remember to let the video play out to the end, when you react to The Greatest Show on Earth. Oh yeah - and again such an enjoyable reaction. Thanks for telling the back story to Helo. And I love how Helo really gets into the music and the performance.
Great reaction as always guys! It's good that you gave her some background before hand regarding the meaning behind the song.

Thanks!! 🙂
Yes! Richard Dawkins narration, as they take bows/pics, beautifully sums up the essential meaning of the song. :)
Really wish I understood what he was saying. I love your reactions, but haven't subscribed because I don't understand what he's saying. Could you add English subtitles for what he's saying?

Thanks 😊
This is not a rock concert or opera! This is an almost transcendental symphonic experience!
I think she’s ready for The Greatest Show On Earth live @ Tampere

He actually says at the end to Heloisa that the next song he's gonna play her is 25 minutes long, so...
Yes! Yes she is!!!!
Bruh I've listened to it dozens of times and I'm still never ready for it. Each time I feel crushed under its excellence...
well, I don’t think so. I believe she likes Floor’s voice but she doesn’t love it. I mean, THSOE is a song for hardcore fans. During the reaction I saw her more pleased with Marco’s voice! haha I meant....
This video is basically about a sitting goddess watching a singing goddess.

In the end, to save everything they had to get rid of one thing, even when that one thing was someone they knew for a long time. Save the being by removing the tumour. No nice way to do that, there's always blood.
He is not talking about being betrayed by the fan base but about feeling betrayed by a friend which would be Tarja in this case. In fact, when he talks about not being able to cry 'cause the shoulder cries more, he is probably talking about the fans
Some day Tuomas will realize his worth and what his ART means for us. I can only thank his soul for this awesome pieces of gold.
I´m a man, sittin on my chair in germany in fornt of a computer and I´m cryin tears of happiness. I love Tuomas, I love Marco, I love Floor, all of them! Thx Nightwish!
Thanks 🙏
This song is masterpiece. Great reaction guys 👍
No puedo creer q esté llorando x 28va vez cn esta cancion..
Es perfectamente emocional !!!
"Shes so beautiful shes a goddess" tea
A very nice reaction from you both, thank you : ). I tear up every time I listen to this song
The mother wailing at the loss of her son at the very end always gets me!
Tuomas Holopainen is a genius, his compositions are masterpieces,
Nightwish albums "Whismaster", "Once", "Oceansborn", "Over the hills and
far away", "Century child", "Dark Passion play", "Imaginarium", "Angels
Fall first", etc.
Other bands like "Auri", "Eternal tears of sorrow", and "The Life and time of Scrooge"
I have heard this 50+ times and it still makes me a sloppy mess during Mother and Father
Its wierd. Every time Mother and father starts one tear is shed without warning. This song does something to me..
Happens to me too
I’m guessing that’s the last part?
Same here.....Many times, i tried to hold back the tears, but when floor sings " You have such oceans within
In the end I will always love you" i'm losing it ......every single time.
me too man, my parents left me laying on the floor during a massive stroke i'm still messed up 36 years later they have passed but i ball like a girl and i'm now 57
that group is awesome thank you, i have never heard them before
Esta vancion siempre me trae lágrimas de felicidad y tristeza. Es una bendicion.
I love watching these two having a discussion. He obviously understands English but chooses to speak Spanish. She obviously understands Spanish but chooses to speak English. Charming.
You two should react to Nightwish: Greatest Show On Earth - Live@Tempere
Thanks Joe !!!!!
Very nicely done. This song is so amazing. The composition is magical. Loved your reaction video!
Nice to see you two again enjoying one of Nightwish's epic masterpieces, which Floor really brings to life with her amazing ability to convey emotions with both her stellar vocals & body language. P.S. Still not told Heloisa what her name means, have you? P.S. Did you know that there's a demo version of this song with Marco singing all the vocals, even those by the two choir boys in the official version, and he's just amazing too? Also, have you noticed that it takes exactly 3 minutes from when the young boy's voice says "Now I only have 3 minutes and counting" to the point when the blade kills Tuomas & he makes a hand gesture of cutting his throat?
I told her , and she loves it
@@RafaReactions Sorry, must have missed that. Was it in one of your videoa together? If so, what video?
If Nightwish give a Concert, in Heaven is
Silence
Thanks, this is always a tearful journey to me. As a Finn, I understand how Tuomas end up to to this song. And every time when I heard this, I live "his life" and feel his feelings.
I like this idea, when you have someone here and you do reaction with her. Also, like in this song, cos you are NW fan, you give good explanation to your guest before the song. This feels good idea :D . I enjoy much. Also she likes NW, so, it feels also good how she enter to NW world little by little. :-)
Thanks Jukka ! I definitely need to visit Finland 🇫🇮 one day !
@@RafaReactions One day! A Nightwish trip!
Imagine me preparing for work while listening to this, suddenly tears flowing dammit, maybe because i sing with emotion and the Valkyrie Goddess does it even better
Loved your reactions to this song, not afraid to show your humanity instead of putting on a false face like so many other UA-cam'rs out there.
Helo, you are stunningly beautiful and it's a gift to share what you're feeling with one of our favorite bands.
OMG all the songs of Nightwish are increeibles i love that band. By the way i love Helo please Raf Bring her back to the channel, I love her, I love her
Without Tuomas & his amazing gift, world would be so cold place
O man I've been waiting for this. The way you two where into this .... worth waiting for. I feel like the word 'epic' was created for performances like this. It gives me shivers and soothes me all in one go.
Lovely reaction guys, Nightwish take us to many places and expose every emotions ....they are awesome 🤘
This song or i mean score is a real tear jerker
If you dont cry at the end of this song, you have no soul.
Well, so I don't have any soul I guess
I haven't cried... nor did I feel anything at all. Haven't had any for years
No crying at the end, because no tears left.
It's hard to cry 13 minutes in a row.
Part 5 gets to me every time.
BHA!!!!
At the end Marko and Empuu go stand by Tuomas to support him. Because still to this day this song gets him emotionally
great tuomas
great band
thank you nightwish
Beautiful to see how much Helo is loving this art!! 💜
Brilliant 👏👏😊Nightwish Disciple From Queensland Australia 🇦🇺🏄♂️🏖💛
It's a perfect song, especially when Floor sings it. I look forward to The Greatest Show on Earth live @ Tampere!
i was at this show it was truly amazing
Amazing Floor Jansen, the best on the world ...Tuomas es un poeta su musica traspasa el corazon y la mente...
I forgot how many times I've listened to this song. The ending still gets me crying everytime.
Thx for the reaction you two !! Such a powerful masterpiece. We should start a get me a damn new chair fund for you lol but you did do better on it than the last vid , looking forward to some more Nightwish. 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼
I'm so glad you got to see them live when they came to Miami! \m/
Boy Soprano at the start is Guy Elliott from St Marys Reigate Choir School.
Counter tenor. Soprano is the term used for female singers
@@lucasmartinmendoza1346 "Treble" is the correct term for a boy soprano (and a girl soprano as well). A Contratenor would have an adult voice.
@@lucasmartinmendoza1346 Boys are sopranos before their voice changes!
Meeting people as genuine, lovely and sweet like you guys, here on UA-cam is what makes this such a addicting platform... and the ever growing Nightwish Family just consists of so many sweet and wonderful people from all over the world! Thank you guys, you made my day!

It is so cool to find your channel. To see two other people that are affect by music as I am!
Bro this woman is amazing. So much appreciation for this music. That's a keeper brother. That's how I met my wife too was finding a girl that appreciates this kinda music even though she didn't go looking for it.
stupendous song...Annettes albums had some really memorable and classic NIghtwish songs and Floor can do them perfectly
Watching these two always give me a Star Wars vibe where you have constantily characters in fluent conversation speaking each one in their own language.
hahahaha loved this !! thanks
Amo sus reacciones y tengo el mis men o sentimiento...obvio a nightwish y en especial a floor, desde after forever...pero si o si tienes que hacer reaccion de romanticide es que es unica...la mejor vibra desde Colombia.
Romanticide la va a volver loca hahahaa 🙌🙌🙌
🍁 Beautiful, Beautiful Reaction. Thank you so much for sharing your Nightwish experience. 🧡🤘
Thanks to you 😊
Oh watching this again with you made me tear up like the first time I watched it. Keep reacting for us. You’re great. Next up... Greatest Show on Earth live Tampere or Phantom of the Opera live with the original vocalist Tarja. Without her The Poet and the Pendulum would never have been created.
