I'm so late to the party, but I have to say, it's so refreshing to see someone let the emotion of the music take over. Exactly how I felt the first time I heard this song. A true masterpiece. Great reaction. Thank you 💓

So sad but a beautiful song. They often go together
What's wrong with you? Nothing! You're a beautiful, sensitive soul who reacts to beautiful, emotional music like this moving masterpiece, I cry every single friggin time I hear it, Floor's soft voice gets me every time, the poem/speech with the boy who resembles young Tuomas is everything
One of my favorites. The meaning behind this song is so beautiful and filled with sadness. "Tuomas has said about this song, that it's about if he were to die tomorrow, what would he want to say to everyone that he loves, and that love him..." The boys voice is saying the things that Tuomas wants us to know. Also Nat, Did you notice the image of the small boy on the screens reaching out to the flying Swans? The swan if Finnish mythology is the guide to the Afterlife and the boy represents Tuomas imploring the Swans to take him with them. What a beautiful and hypothetically sad song. The last vocal part is so powerful. What more can you say about Floor's ability to emote vocally. Tuomas is such an incedible lyricist and poet. All I can say is; If you read this line Remember not the hand that wrote it Remember only the verse Songmaker's cry, the one without tears For I've given this its strength And it has become my only strength Comforting home, mother's lap, chance for immortality Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew The sweet piano writing down my life Teach me passion, for I fear it's gone Show me love, hold the lorn So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me I'm sorry Time will tell, this bitter farewell I live no more to shame, nor me, nor you And you I wish I didn't feel for you anymore A lonely soul An ocean soul A lonely soul An ocean soul
I was there, I cried and sang the whole show, the atmosphere that Nightwish creates is from another world, an unforgettable experience, luckily they recorded it, it is sad that they have mutated the audience especially in this song, anyway one of the best shows that I went to, I love all your Nightwish reactions!! Greetings from Argentina.
Thank you for this reaction, Nat! This is such an emotional and melancholic song, I love it. I have seen NW performing it live in 2018. Almost unreal, I still can't believe I was there and witnessed that. I just love this band so much.
See now this is why we watch you mate... you wear your emotions like a neon light and this song is perfect for that. Never apologise for the way music makes you feel. You know that is right. If you get hate for it pity them for they know not what passion and feeling is... such an empty life that must be.
Only the first part the audio was muted. Great reaction Nat, so great to see how music hits you. Don't ever change, you are amazing (and so is Nightwish with Floor)
"I wish I didn't feel for you anymore" … the essence of a shattered life .. when I boy's world is shattered .. .even the universe takes notice … and pauses …
Emotions are what makes a song, what's the point of listening to any song if you can't feel the meaning of it.(always show how you feel ,good one cheers😢👍
I clicked as soon as I got notification! Great reaction as always, I love how you always freak out at the exact same places as I do. Who would say that you will become my most favourite reaction channel. Keep the Nightwish comming! Also you now have to do EPICA and Within Temptation, pretty please...
What's wrong with you? Nothing. It's called the Holopainen-Jansen effect. The music and the lyrics leave you defenseless and then the voice and the performance finishes the job. You end up being a messy ball of tears and snots with a dagger through your heart and the only thing you can think is "Please. Do it again. I want more".
All I can say is, all of Tuomas's compositions are those kinds of art. Emotionally uplifting or devastating. He has managed to assemble the perfect vehicle to deliver his art.
You're a human, there's nothing "wrong" with you. You have emotions just like me him her them. You should be proud, Greetings and KUDOS my fellow traveler. PEACE
You really don't need to apologize for getting emotional. This is a sad but also very beautiful song. Notice that Emppu (the guitarist) is quite serious when doing his solo. He's often very cheerful and joking, but not at all this time.
"Walk within my poetry" If I write poetry, my poetry is my world. So if I invite someone to "walk within my poetry" I'm not just offering them to see a part of my world, I'm inviting them to become a part of my world. I want them within my existence.
I would like to support your channel, how do i do that? Keep safe and dount think about haters. You are doing great videos and that pisses of the loosers 😆 greetings from Finland
Yes, this song is very emotional. For me as well. One Nightwish suggestion you probably don‘t get that often, which is a pity: Elvenjig / Elvenpath (Buenos Aires): Awesome intro and it continues on that level
I think this song ia about a young boy who is abused, or at least misunderstood. He never has anyone to talk to, so he puts all his thoughts and feelings down in song. The song becomes his best friend, and he puts all his strength into it, so it can give him the strength he needs to get through life. The song shows all the parts of his soul. Eventually, he tries to make his life better, but no matter what he does, he could never get back to the childlike innocence he used to have. So he tries to learn and he reaches for wisdom, but things are just too much, and the right choice unclear. He can't be God. And he says that people shouldn't sigh and wish for a better world, because the world's song, with all its different parts, has already been written and done. He is doing much the same thing, only for himself. During the spoken part (in quotation marks), he tells people not to remember "him", the silent, misunderstood boy, but the song that iss his soul. Deep down, he wants to be loved, to sit on his mother's lap and feel his heart has a home. He could live forever in that. But instead, he wrote his life and soul on the piano. Since he can't get his wish, and can't fix the problems in his life and the world, he has no passion for anything. He cares about the world, and people, but feels he is wasting air since he has no love, no passion, and nothing to give. He is like the ocean -- necessary but often abused and misunderstood, and terribly, terribly lonely.
Oooh Nat, just do Frozen "Let it go" in your mind when hearing Floor. It doesn't hurt to let your emotions go. While tears flow, the soul gets cleansed!
They sparkle my scenery. They tuck me under the blue, beneath the pain. They have such oceans within. Have you noticed Tuomas's yearning for blue, the ocean? And you HAVE to stop , because YT will slap you around if you don't. And you need a breather.
Nothing wrong about being emotional to a song.. That's proof you're not a robot (Unless you're a second genaration Cylon of course).. I cry all the time when I hear Floor's voice :)
Don't be sorry you feel it so close, so raw, so intimately. I know it must be feeling even vulnerable to feel like a dagger is oping you in front of a camera. But that ability to be so open is what makes me come back to your reaction channel. There's such a level of sincere in you that can't be faked. And part of my respect comes also from seeing you fight with it. Maybe you want to also hide that raw reaction - I get that: I want to hide those reactions, not to crash in front of curious strange eyes you don't know you can trust. Sometimes even in front of people you trust, it's hard to be dissected open. So it's a level of bravery we witness in you that very few are ready to enter. Feeling weak you're actually strong.
And I also like your smile when they start to pay homage and cheer for the boy in the interlude with the horns, ramping up the atmosphere. Such respect, honouring the sincere suffering little boy.
Hi! First time commenting (also just subscribed!). I think your reaction channel is quite unique. I think it's probably the combination of your style and the (for a first timer probably often a bit surprising) way you react to music. I love how emotional you get. I think that tells a lot about the music and about you as a person. Since you like Nightwish, I'd really love you to react to Marco's (the base player) solo album Pyre of the Black Heart. It's an album he did in both Finnish and English. The whole album (both versions) is pure gold, in my opinion, but good songs to start with would be Stones (the English version) and Isäni ääni (Finnish version of Voice of my Father, you should check the English lyrics for that).
This is a song from Tarja's era (first Nightwish lead singer - she recorded 5 studio albums with the band). I strongly recommend a performance recorded on the dvd "From wishes to eternity". Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/NhAO5a9q6sQ/v-deo.html.
This is one of the few songs in NW catalog where as much as I love Floor, the original version just speaks to me even more. Another one is Deep Silent Complete. It's just that they soooo perfectly fit the other singer's particular inimitable instrument, that anyone else has to create a different version, with almost unavoidably subtle difference in feeling. And that subtle difference makes quite an impact. All that to say, check out the original, when you get a chance, cause there are 2 great versions of this song... And Deep Silent Complete is a gem too....Also, could this be a great example of song's title really affecting your perception of the song itself? If there were no dead boy in the title and you just listened to the song and read its lyrics, I wonder if it would have as powerful an impact? That title inflates it with a meaning and interpretation, one that is personalized to the listener, as opposed to necessarily conveying the songwriter's intent... This is an old song and "dead boy" is a running reference in Nightwish lyrics, including Poet and the Pendulum and "Song of Myself." I have not come across definitive explanation of its meaning, but lyric "everything I WISH for the NIGHT seems suggestive...
I,like Marcel, only got part of the audio for the song...not sure why..? Still a great reaction, but I shouldn't have watched/listened to this first thing. (Reminds me of some of my earlier poetry & I can relate to the lyrics). Have a happier rest of your day, Nat. ☺
Nat Elliott-Ross, Im just guessing, but have you had something tragic happen to you in youre past? From your reaction to the music I think you have because I reacted the same way to Nightwish music. Its just a guess though.
'Dead Boy' is one of the pseudonyms Tuomas used when writing about himself, along with 'The Poet' and 'The Oceansoul' : "Wishing that the tide would catch me first and give me the death I'd always hoped for" So yeah, kinds of linked, it was his outpouring at that point in time, about 2000. Obviously the complete collapse of his world was still a few years off that lead to the P&P to be written.
This Toumas' heart and soul laid bare, sung by a true empath.
Tuomas Holopainen metal Mozart
I'm so late to the party, but I have to say, it's so refreshing to see someone let the emotion of the music take over. Exactly how I felt the first time I heard this song. A true masterpiece. Great reaction. Thank you 💓
So sad but a beautiful song. They often go together
Floor is everything!
It's actually very refreshing seeing a reactor genuinely getting emotional. Don't apologize for being real!💗
What's wrong with you?
Nothing! You're a beautiful, sensitive soul who reacts to beautiful, emotional music like this moving masterpiece, I cry every single friggin time I hear it, Floor's soft voice gets me every time, the poem/speech with the boy who resembles young Tuomas is everything
I agree. As long as you are real person, thats all what counts.
One of my favorites. The meaning behind this song is so beautiful and filled with sadness. "Tuomas has said about this song, that it's about if he were to die tomorrow, what would he want to say to everyone that he loves, and that love him..."

The last vocal part is so powerful. What more can you say about Floor's ability to emote vocally. Tuomas is such an incedible lyricist and poet. All I can say is;
If you read this line
Remember not the hand that wrote it
Remember only the verse
Songmaker's cry, the one without tears
For I've given this its strength
And it has become my only strength
Comforting home, mother's lap, chance for immortality
Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew
The sweet piano writing down my life
Teach me passion, for I fear it's gone
Show me love, hold the lorn
So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
I'm sorry
Time will tell, this bitter farewell
I live no more to shame, nor me, nor you
And you
I wish I didn't feel for you anymore
A lonely soul
An ocean soul
A lonely soul
An ocean soul
"So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
. I'm sorry" - this makes me cry every f***ing time.

thank you for your genuine reaction. NW touches the soul.
Thank you for this reaction, Nat! This is such an emotional and melancholic song, I love it. I have seen NW performing it live in 2018. Almost unreal, I still can't believe I was there and witnessed that. I just love this band so much.
Beautiful reaction
Yes, you reacted to this one! This song always sends shivers down my spine. Can't get enough of it. Thank you Nat, for this reaction.
I just love your reactions Nat ! Hahaha keep going !
See now this is why we watch you mate... you wear your emotions like a neon light and this song is perfect for that. Never apologise for the way music makes you feel. You know that is right. If you get hate for it pity them for they know not what passion and feeling is... such an empty life that must be.
I love the honesty of your emotions.
Floor doesn't just sing the words, she sends them right into you.
So glad you reacted to this beautiful song, you feel the music dont apologise its great to see thankyou.
Only the first part the audio was muted.
Great reaction Nat, so great to see how music hits you.
Don't ever change, you are amazing (and so is Nightwish with Floor)
God Bless you Nat...from NW Army
NW army loves every member equally :) Thank u for the reaction
Great Reaction! You wear your heart on your sleeve! So rare these days!
"I wish I didn't feel for you anymore" … the essence of a shattered life .. when I boy's world is shattered .. .even the universe takes notice … and pauses …
Emotions are what makes a song, what's the point of listening to any song if you can't feel the meaning of it.(always show how you feel ,good one cheers😢👍
One of my favourite songs in either version the original with Tarja or with Floor both different both magnificent. It is an emotional song.
Saw them on this tour, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I was sobbing in audience during this song.
I clicked as soon as I got notification!
Great reaction as always, I love how you always freak out at the exact same places as I do.
Who would say that you will become my most favourite reaction channel. Keep the Nightwish comming!
Also you now have to do EPICA and Within Temptation, pretty please...
What's wrong with you? Nothing. It's called the Holopainen-Jansen effect. The music and the lyrics leave you defenseless and then the voice and the performance finishes the job. You end up being a messy ball of tears and snots with a dagger through your heart and the only thing you can think is "Please. Do it again. I want more".
9:10 valkyrie on the stage i love it
Such a beautiful song with tremendous vocal core all videos should have the lyrics attached but then the world would be under water from all the tears
Incredible reaction, felt your emotions!!
Great reaction. Greetings from borneo.
All I can say is, all of Tuomas's compositions are those kinds of art. Emotionally uplifting or devastating. He has managed to assemble the perfect vehicle to deliver his art.
A very emotional one 🥰
You're a human, there's nothing "wrong" with you. You have emotions just like me him her them. You should be proud, Greetings and KUDOS my fellow traveler. PEACE
You really don't need to apologize for getting emotional. This is a sad but also very beautiful song. Notice that Emppu (the guitarist) is quite serious when doing his solo. He's often very cheerful and joking, but not at all this time.
Most beautiful songs are sad on my opinion
@@osamaqtaitat I mostly agree. It's difficult to combine superficial, happy and emotional content.
One of my favourites from NW. I have to be in the right mood though as it is very emotional.
this was an easy "like" :D great reaction m8! :D
Floors voice really goes to marrow and bone. (as we say in Holland)
wow this was great emotions react. nightwish music truly maker feelings up many times. than mr ross and have great day there.
"Walk within my poetry"
If I write poetry, my poetry is my world. So if I invite someone to "walk within my poetry" I'm not just offering them to see a part of my world, I'm inviting them to become a part of my world. I want them within my existence.

Wunderbare, you got to this beauty..
Yes, this song is very emotional. For me as well.
One Nightwish suggestion you probably don‘t get that often, which is a pity:
Elvenjig / Elvenpath (Buenos Aires): Awesome intro and it continues on that level
Aww yeah I have songs I've got to ban myself from in public or driving for real.
The new spiritbox song Constance is it. I cry every time.
I think this song ia about a young boy who is abused, or at least misunderstood. He never has anyone to talk to, so he puts all his thoughts and feelings down in song. The song becomes his best friend, and he puts all his strength into it, so it can give him the strength he needs to get through life. The song shows all the parts of his soul.

Wow i'm speechless. Sometimes we pay more attention to the music instead of lyrics, thanks for the analysis ♡
Oooh Nat, just do Frozen "Let it go" in your mind when hearing Floor. It doesn't hurt to let your emotions go. While tears flow, the soul gets cleansed!
They sparkle my scenery. They tuck me under the blue, beneath the pain. They have such oceans within. Have you noticed Tuomas's yearning for blue, the ocean?
And you HAVE to stop , because YT will slap you around if you don't. And you need a breather.
After being released from jail after 4 days I need amessage dodid of you and Nightwish.. so Itś now 3 o'clock at night and I am still listening...
Nothing wrong about being emotional to a song.. That's proof you're not a robot (Unless you're a second genaration Cylon of course).. I cry all the time when I hear Floor's voice :)

Two videos?! T0N and NW?! You spoil us 🖤
This one special interpretation, it brought allready nice song so much higher... THE final version imo.
This certainly is a reach in and grab you song. A song for all the oceansouls.
It's not Floor that makes me cry in this one. It's Emppu. That guitar solo is just.... 😭😭
This is a song from Tarja's era (first Nightwish lead singer - she recorded 5 studio albums with the band). I strongly recommend a performance recorded on the dvd "From wishes to eternity". Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/NhAO5a9q6sQ/v-deo.html.
we are only flesh … our emotions are so much more …
Can you do a reaction to Kamelot? Abandoned or Anthem. Roy Khan is so emotive in his swells and scoops
This song wrecks me every time, be it sung by Tarja or Floor. However, with Floor, it hits me more than it ever did. Stunning.
Is it me or is the audio failing sometimes
no, i miss the audio, too
It did cut out, but he’s hearing it so that’s all that matters.
It’s more because it’s Floor…..❤

If you liked tihs, listen to The Gathering - Travel, also a Dutch symphonic band, and trhe singer Anneke started the genrge
I,like Marcel, only got part of the audio for the song...not sure why..? Still a great reaction, but I shouldn't have watched/listened to this first thing. (Reminds me of some of my earlier poetry & I can relate to the lyrics). Have a happier rest of your day, Nat. ☺
Nat Elliott-Ross, Im just guessing, but have you had something tragic happen to you in youre past? From your reaction to the music I think you have because I reacted the same way to Nightwish music. Its just a guess though.
I’ve always thought this song was tied into Poet and the Pendulum, but maybe that’s just me. I dunno lol

why i can hit like just ones? that not fair....
There’s nothing wrong with you. this is one of those ones. There’s many times I have heard it and kind of destroys me every time.
