I heard you, Amie! I checked the list in a panic - the interesting thing is that the link is functional from me. But it is possible to be blocked regionally, I being in Romania / Eastern Europe, and you in the US. So here's another link, from the priceless collection of Nightwish Arena ( @NightwishArena ), I hope you won't have any problems with it: 🎼 NIGHTWISH 🎶 I Want My Tears Back 🎶 Live in Buenos Aires 2018 🔥 4K REMASTERED🔥 ua-cam.com/video/vzNMP7mTSuo/v-deo.html
Thank you for sharing with us the emotional beauty of Nightwish's music!
The link works fine for me in UK 😉
It works in Canada too!
Here are the lyrics spoken by the boy:
“I live no more to shame, nor me, nor you
I'm sorry”
"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..."
"So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
Time will tell"
"If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it": Tuomas loves Shakespeare 🙂
Incredible!
This song IS Nightwish. Floor didn't feel super good before this concert. If we get 60-80 % of Floor, it is still more than anyone can hope for
2 days before she was seriously ill with high fiever and no voice. What a resurrection amidst this concert❣️
Damn Straight
Floor is so impressive!
Tuomas Holopainen metal Mozart
Definitely sick!! Fantastic reaction!! The Nightwish rabbit hole has you trapped!!
No way! I can't be trapped when I love it here. 😇😇😇
Tuomas is a musical genius!!!! How he writes the lyrics and then composed the music that reaches down into your soul, and you feel what Tuomas wants you to feel!
Never in my 66 years has a band touched me as much as Nightwish!
And lyrics. How can he write so beautifully in English, even his mother language is Finnish.
This is a very emotional and personal song for Tuomas. The small child's voice represents Tuomas' inner child speaking.
When asked what this song was about "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..."
Notice the small boy on the screen reaching out to the flying swans on the screen. He is reaching out to implore them to take him with to the other side.
In archaeological excavations done in Karelia, a child was found and its body was laying upon a wing of a swan. In Finnish mythology and folklore, the swan was the divine messenger between the living and the dead. When a swan dropped its head below the surface, people of old times believed that it was communicating to the spirit world.
Killing swans was a terrible crime because it was as bad as murdering a human. Punishments for killing swans were severe, the usual penalty was death.
Swan song often symbolizes an artist´s last performance but for a long time all across the world all the way to the 17th century it was believed that swans only sang when they died.
A beautiful song filled with sadness from an unfulfilled destiny.
Here are the spoken words from Dead Boy's Poem.
"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
That's incredible!
@@Thorgrim247 he was only 24 when he wrote this song
@@Piia2023 Brilliant!
When Floor goes into her emotional mode you can sleep in the finnish winter outside in the woods and still be warmed by her voice and feel comfortable.
Much Love from Germany to you and your passionate reactions!
Thank you😊😊😊
If you want to really hear how high she can go watch Beste Zangers 2019 and specifically Vilja Lied. There's a high note, F5 I think, that's really stunning. Her whole appearance on that show is incredible.
This song made Emppu cry ❤
I`ve been listening to Nightwish for 15 plus years. I watch at least one of their concert`s every Saturday night and the music never get`s old. I absolutely love watching people discovering them for the first time and becoming member`s of the Nightwish Army.
One of the very few songs where Emppu does not smile. Beautiful and haunting!
Nightwish is Finland's national treasure.
I can see why
I agree, greetings from Tampere ❤
You absolutely GET this band .....incredible reaction
They are phenomenal and I love them soooo much!!!!
@@Amiekinz4ever I can't wait till they tour again .....so you can see them really live
Yeah, that would be amazing
It doesn't matter how many times I hear this one, the Goddess always tears me up....love NW and Floor
One of Tuomas’s most personal songs, written in the Tarja era. If you knew you were going to die tomorrow, what would you have to say today? That inspired Tuomas to answer in his innocent, misunderstood boyhood persona. Love this song and performance. Maybe my favorite Emppu solo. Feels to short. Keep exploring Nightwish. I want my tears back fro this show is great too, very different from this, but also related to Tuomas as an innocent boy, longing for the innocence and emotion he once had.
This is one of Tuomas' most personal songs, it's more or less his own eulogy. You will see that he sometimes refer to himself in his compositions as the "dead boy" or the "poet" or the "ocean soul".
Top reaction to my go to favourite Nightwish song when I feel obliged to try and name just one. Thank you. In my opinion you deserve a lot more than 10k subscribers.
Awwwww, thank you. You're very kind.
Loved your reaction! One of my top 5 Nightwish songs. One of the more personal songs for Tuomas and the fans. An old song written by Tuomas when he was young. Inspired by the question what would you say if you knew you were going to die tomorrow. Tuomas has said this song was a way of thanking all those who deserve his thanks and a piss off to all those who deserve it as well. Tuomas often uses the dead boy as a symbol of the loss of childhood innocence and imagination that we experience as we grow into adulthood. When you hear dead boy or poet in his lyrics he is usually referring to himself. He also has a strong connection to the ocean and sees it as a place of peace and tranquility. A refugee from the modern world. So in this song Tuomas is saying that he no longer lives for himself or his friends but only for the music. He puts all his feelings into the music and his music is what gives his life meaning. He tries to make his life better but can never get back to the innocence of his youth. He wants to be loved but can't connect with people. He asks that they remember his music, not him, after he is gone. Thus a lonely soul, an ocean soul. Note that on the video wall behind the band the boy is holding up his arms to several swans. In Finnish mythology swans are the creatures that guide your soul to the afterlife.
Not knowing the backstory before reacting to a Nightwish song is fine except for the big one, Poet and the Pendulum. IMHO the best Nightwish song ever and incredibly personal for Tuomas. He basically lays bare his soul in the midst of his deep depression after the fans turned on him after the band fired Tarja. The song is amazing even if you don't know the backstory but if you do the song hits so much harder emotionally. I have seen a number of reactors go in blind and IMO they rarely get that emotionally reaction that so many of us feel and what makes the song so incredible. I also get a very similar emotional reaction to Dead Boy's Poem, in part because Tuomas is sharing his soul with us and Floor is the perfect vessel for making us feel those emotions.
She didn't get possessed by an angel. Floor IS an angel. A Valkyrie Queen of an angel. What absolutely must understand is that everyone on stage is here to serve the music, the poetry and the ideas within it. Nothing more, nothing less.
Good is an understatement.
Facts!
Good is an embarrassing statement, ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT IS ALL SHE EVER IS
First one here😂😂😂
Love your reactions
I used to hang with Troy back in the 80s when he came to our town Llandudno in north wales🏴 many times with his Celtic rock band YOU SLOSH
The album a glorious racket can still be found on u tube 👍
Actually, "A Glorious Racket" is a great name for a band, too.
The guitar Marko is playing as a double neck bass/ 6-string guitar. It is affectionately called “The Beast.” Tuomas is the Dead Boy and the swans are from Finnish Folklore. They carry your soul to Heaven.🤘🎸
Hi Amie. Listen, don't react any other way, I love your style. You have sharp eyes and even better hearing. you have noticed a lot of details that I completely miss. you have a lovely booming laugh and when I hear it, I know you like what you hear. everyone has their own way of listening. I think the hardest thing is to watch those reactionaries whose expression doesn't even waver when listening to a song. how then do you know what's going on in his head. just continue in your chosen way, I'll follow😉
Awwwww thank you!
What can we say what a awesome preformance by the dutch windmill momma floor pastor Amie. She doesn't have any bad preformances to begin with that's how good she really is.

When you hear the words Boy; Poet; Ocean Soul, you can be sure the song is very personal to Tuomas.
That's good to know
One of my favorites! It hits my gut every time!
I don't think I can pick a favorite any more, they are ALL my favorite!
Yeessss !! Thank you for this reaction ! That guitar solo is perfect for this song and also when Floor is slowly raising her arms and then the drop my oh my chills lol 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼
🤘🤘
I thought i heard everything of Floor what an amazing vocalist, then i saw her live in front of me on the stage here in the Netherlands with her solo tour.......that was another level.....damn she can sing she is live even better then you hear it on youtube she really blew my mind up every single time she opened her mouth and she is such a down to earth person so typically Dutch and she has humor too what an artist she is, great reaction btw and greetings from the Netherlands
Always enjoy your reactions! Likable, nay lovable, personality is the main key to winning loyal subscribers. And you've got that department in the bag! 😉

I believe that you have become a proud full member of the Nightwish Army 😂
Your reactions are superb and honest - and your knowledge and background gives them really weight and depth, because you instantly recognize what is going on, and you experience the stories 100% - as you are supposed to.
Great reaction 👍🤘

Thank you 🤗
Marco is playing “the Beast” Warwick infinity bass with a Framus guitar 🎸
I love it!!!!
@@Amiekinz4ever Marco’s first instrument is guitar, he is classically trained on acoustic guitar!
That so cool
And there’s Floors duet with Henk Poort performing Phantom of the Opera. Hitting those hi notes while power belting-ohhh dang !!!!😮 absolutely epic
👍Great comments Amie,it's clear,at least for me,that Floor and Nightwish are a match that had to be.This sensitive song with a powerfull end,shows the composing skills of Tuomas,the musicianship of the guys and ofcourse,Floor's capabilities to not only be a voice but also the embodyment of the lyrics and feelings what this song is all about.🤘
🤘🥲🇫🇮💙🪄🎼✨💯👍
Enjoyed enjoying this w you. Thx. NWA Philly
My favorite song 🤘❤️
Poem in the middle of the song:
"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..."
Thank you!!!
The Dead Boy is Tuomas. How Nightwish made him even as he made Nightwish."The mother of all Nightwish songs"!
Guitar, Emppu Vuorinen. Judoka mannen…Black belt
thanks
Hi funny lady! I always looooove your GREAT reactions and the GREAT smile you have!!😍👍👍keep rocking🤘😜🤘 i'll be back with the next one, greetings from the Netherlands👋👋👋👋
Awwwww, thank you
Here's a link to "I Want My Tears Back" live in Buenos Aries 2018 - ua-cam.com/video/TBOdgxjb0kM/v-deo.html&pp=ygUmaSB3YW50IG15IHRlYXJzIGJhY2sgYnVlbm9zIGFpcmVzIDIwMTg%3D
It is a first time when Empu is not smiling..
Love Dead Boy's poem for many of the reasons you describe.
In some documentary or book about the band there is a story about how Tuomas wrote the poem, and had a friend who knew a teen/boy who came into a studio with Tuomas and read the poem with a few final edits so it could be recorded with a boy's voice.
Well. I love your reactions, so many you. This will be one of my funeral song. I'm not sure how kids will react to my will but I'm not there to argue at that point. 😂
Floor is FLOOR 😊
sweet piano writing down my life.
I've seen this video so many times and it always makes my eyes teary... why????? it's my favourite no doubt, though they have so many masterpieces, this one for me is the one.. keep rocking and stay safe,,,,
This is an incredible song
Hello Amie. The Decades Tour 2018 was all about the"very" old songs. I saw this concert myself in Antwerp Belgium 2018 and she killed the whole concert. Yes it was different than Tarja, but this is Floor and she always makes the songs her own and she had in my concert the same badass outfit. Lucky me😁❤🤘
I'm so jealous that you got to see them
"Dead Boy" is Tuomas's way of referring to his lost childhood innocence and joy. Dead boy is refereed to in many songs. Emppu is practically in tears by the end of the his solo.
Hey Amie, your reaction and comments..... was SICK.....Lol
😅
Tuomas Holopainen ( keys) songwriter,composer. Nightwish band from Finland.
Those Goddess arms are 10 feet fingertip to fingertip
I believe it
Another great reaction, Thank you 😊🤟
Thank you!!!!
You know what? this reaction is sick😊
Ha ha thanks!!!
Hey Amie, Lady I love you, almost as much as Nightwish and Floor Jansen, Thank You for a wonderful review again, and please keep them coming♥
Oh thank you!
1 minute she's possessed by an angel the next minute she's possessed by a demon and she kills it both styles
lol, the time traveller
Check out a more basic little reacted sone, but one of my favorites, “Deep Silent Complete”. Live
If someone doesn't like pauses, there is a VERY simple solution for them...go watch the original video...this ain't rocket science, folks.
Facts!!!!!
Just subscribed. There is at least one song that needs preparation to get it right. Looking forward to that.
Your comparison with other artists is crazy ,there now comparing !!!!!
😊😊😊
Heres a link to the 2018 Buenos Aires performance of I Want My Tears Back - enjoy 🤘
Only Nightwish-song you should do background search before watching it is Poet and The Pendulum. There are deeper meanings for whole Nightwishes existence etc in that song. Highly recommend to do that before listening and watching it 🙏🏻👍
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
"If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it“ is a Shakespeare line from his Sonnet 71: "No longer mourn for me when I am dead”
It looks like Tuomas was inspired by this sonnet for the idea of Dead Boys Poem"
More from Finland. BATTLE BEAST NOORA LOUHIMO. Wings of Light official video. NOORA great voice.
Good one. Dam it I was just writing Cranberries.
Ha ha, I love the Cranberries
👍👍😎😎🤘🤘
My joint no 4 favourite.
(I Want My Tears Back is best from Buenos Aires.

Marco is playing "The Beast", a Warwick Bass on top and Framus guitar underneath. Designed for Marco because he is a Warwick exclusive artist and Framus is part of the same group of companies.
He plays The Beast frequently - he played lead before he switched to bass and is an excellent player.
When Tuomas refers to Dead Boy's (as he frequently does) or Poet, he is referring to himself.
This song was essentially the epitaph he would have left at the time it was written and was his most personal song until The Poet and the Pendulum.
Notes from Tuomas:
"Dead Boy's Poem' featured a child's voice. "I had an idea of a song with a young boy boy reciting reciting a poem", Tuomas says. "The trouble was that no Finnish so I had to find a
12-year-old could pronounce English so that it sounded right, so I had to find a native speaker to do it. My mother's Sister, actress Miitta Sorvali, knew [the English-Finnish director and writer] Neil Hardwick well, and my mum remembered that Neil had a son called Sam. I called him and asked him to do the poem, and Sam agreed right away.
It was just funny that when I talked to this 15-year-old boy he seemed like such a citizen of the worldand was actually familiar with our band too. Sam said he'd be free to record the poem anytime; I'd just have to give him a call.
He even knew where Finnvox was and promised to meet us there. The professionalism of young Sam Hardwick made a deep impression on Tuomas.
"When he arrived at the studio, had to ask him
to wait for ten minutes or so and he just pulled a book from his pocket and sat down to read".
Tuomas says, " I gave him the poem, and he read it through a few times. We did some editing and Sam just sat down on the studio floor and read his book, after which I asked him to read the poem a couple of more times."
By the way Seltic is a football club. The word you want has a hard C - Keltic.
Outfit custom designed by Royal Black Couture in Austria, who promised never to make another.
The only performance I know amongst the 30 concerts I have on video, in which Emppu doesn't smile.
The palm muting (fingers in this case) is to stop other strings resonating - he has no tone controls on this guitar,byou will have noticed, and palm-muting is just one of his tonal controls.
Floors lowest register is my absolute favourite part of her range, even though she says it is her least comfortable. That gorgeous velvet tone is stunning.
Your smile is like Lady Floor infectious love and peace from Ireland 🇨🇮☘️🇨🇮🤟🤟🤟🤟
Awwwww, thank you!!!!!
You should listen to Nightwish best songs like Planet Hell, Shoemaker, Sacrament of wilderness, Come cover me, Elan, Nemo, Master Passion Greed, Ghost river etc. Like your reactions btw.
I'll check it out!
This song makes me cry every time so maybe it's time for something a bit more joyful.

ua-cam.com/video/TBOdgxjb0kM/v-deo.html
I don't know what happened to Gabriel's link to the song, but this one is working 😊
I'll be reacting to that one soon
Your pauses don't bother me I love your reaction to songs and how you take them in!!
Thank you. I appreciate that
Well. Emppu is the king. If you wish the solo try covers of high hopes or megadeath.
I love your reactions where you really go in blind. However, there is ONE exception when it comes to Nightwish.
Before you listen to "The Poet And The Pendulum" Live at Wembley 2015, most of us really think you need to read up about the background for that song. The song is great without knowing about it, but it's gonna make you cry knowing the background.
I'll make a note of that, thank you
@@Amiekinz4ever This is one that you should definitely research a little, but here is a synopsis. It was written by Tuomas in the aftermath of the firing of their first vocalist Tarja. Tuomas was feeling very suicidal from the backlash of the fans and for having to fire one of his closest friends. He has said that writing this song was what kept him from ending it all. If you watch the song with this situation in mind then the effects can be devastating.
Thank you for that
Here's a working link to "I want my tears back" from Buenos Aires 2018:

This a perfect example of a song that is taken to another level by Floor. Try this link to I Want My Tears to Back. Plus you hear Troy on different instruments to the bouzouki in this one. ua-cam.com/video/TBOdgxjb0kM/v-deo.htmlsi=i3UJE70ge2BanVOI
Irish band you ment is The Cranberrys...😊
so sorry
For more Floor watch her performance at “Beste Zangers 2019” especially “Shallow” for Emma Heesters. ua-cam.com/video/M68pe4a_9zk/v-deo.htmlsi=umPnbjArlX9wr2NR
Great reaction, not sure if you are like me and wish i knew about Nightwish 15 - 20 years ago
Yeah, I feel like I missed out big time
You are beautiful..😊😊❤
😊 thank you
🎼🎼👍🇳🇱🤘🎤🎸💕👏👏
well portlander. lived in the PNW for 30 years. married in Roseburg. went to college at umpqua and ashland sosc. hate the way portland has ruined the beautiful state and culture. SHAME
Celine Dione?????
good job, Amie! More pauses please!
Awwwww thank you
It is little underwhelming that this lady didn't notice the very obvious and the main attraction in this song which is Tuomas. It's kind of annoying sometimes how he get overlooked in the reaction videos most of the time even though he is the main source for Nightwish. Creator and maker. It all begins and ends with him. "Sweet Piano writing down my life." Who plays piano? Tuomas.
No, this song isn't about what Floor can do vocally and what anybody can do. If you react to this song it means you have very likely already reacted to something else by Nightwish and it's already established that they're professionals. Did you break down the lyrics?I don't think so.Other than that, this lady is pretty good with her reactions and actually says something and notices many things and not just nod head and smile throughout the video. There are so many "lazy" reactors after clicks but this lady does put some effort.The way she notices things it was little disappointing that she missed actually the whole point of this song, which goes beyond performance. It's all about lyrics. Lyrics can be understood in many ways but this one is very personal to Tuomas and it's clear if you pay attention.
Why you make videos on drunk or high ?
Huh?
celine dione cant sing live this.....!
It was meant as a compliment
