This song forever reminds us at Ann Carone Diamond Waychoff. Well known as the Mother of the Nightwish Army. She sadly left us at June 28, 2020. It was her favorite song. Rest in peace dear Ann, we will never forget You. And Thank You Gabriel Bardac for carrying on the flame that Ann ignited. Nightwish Army South Germany.
Floor just had her second child 2 months ago. She has some solo concerts coming up in Netherlands this month and she just finished the vocals for the next Nightwish album. The album will be out next year but no touring until 2025. Drummer Kai Hahto said the new album is heavy. 🤘🤘
I was a Doobie Brothers, Allman Brothers, Stones, Hot Tuna, Heart, Dire Straits, Jethro Tull kind of a guy. Saw all of them in concert and some many times. Found Nightwish about 5 years ago. Still can't believe what I see and hear. WOW
I'm 62 and I'm not sure I'd still have a pulse without them. They got me thru some difficult times, renewed my spirit, and made me a better person as a result. I am ever grateful for the emotion, passion and energy shared by all those associated with Nightwish.
Nightwish Army Turku Finland reporting! This song is for You Ann (mother of Nightwish Army) R.I.P . Ann Waychoff was known by many as the Nightwish Mom. She would give comments to people who reacted to Nightwish videos to try and help the reactors understand and she would tirelessly exchange comments with people who wanted to know more. She also communicated privately with a large number of fans and reactors (we know now from the tributes.). The song is inspired by the 19th century ,52 chapter poem of the same name by Walt Whitman. The studio version ,at the end, has a spoken poem section, written by Tuomas in an ode to the original. The words to it are the words you see on the big screen behind the band. This was song # 14 of 15 here, right after Ghost Love Score. Keep enjoying the journey! Please, try something from Buenos Aires concert next, "Dead Boys Poem" & "I Want My Tears Back".
R.I.P Ann Waychoff mother of the Nightwish Army. June 28th, 2020 . Ann was a big Nightwish Fan. And every new person who listened to NW, she went through a little chat. And gave them some info about NW. This was her favorite song. And this song belongs to her. I like very much that Gabriel have continue Ann s work.... so her heritage is still here.
So many good things about this song. Jukka pounding the drums into submission, Floor stalking that microphone, Marko singing along off mike. But, most of all it is a song where you really can see how all parts of the band work together to form one perfect whole.
Yes watch from. Begining to end will open your eyes just how awesome they are, beyond just snips here and there. The sustained power and captivation. From the opening note to the outro.
I’ve seen many reactions to this song and never have I seen someone mention the way she walks up to the mic! Thank you for noticing cause it always gives me chills she’s so badass!!😫🙌🏼
My favourite part is how the flames seem to came out of Floors hands... short after the walk to the mic. And I also love the part when she sings 'these are territories I live for' and moves her arm over the crowd. She is simply the best! ❤
It is A Tribute to the poem in 52 chapters, One for every week of the year, " Song of myself " by Walt Whitman 1819-1892.(one of the co-founders of US poetry). The 7th line of the song is ""Of mermaids, of Whitman's and the Ride""". The extended official studio version of this song has, at the end, a poem as a tribute to Whitman made by Tuomas, the keyboard player and the mastermind of nightwish. These lines you can also see fast flahing on the ledscreen of the video you just saw. Bucle up, it goes very deep. " I see a slow, simple youngster by a busy street With a begging bowl in his shaking hand Trying to smile but hurting infinitely Nobody notices I do, but walk by An old man gets naked and kisses a model-doll in his attic It's half-light and he's in tears When he finally comes his eyes are cascading I see a beaten dog in a pungent alley He tries to bite me All pride has left his wild drooling eyes I wish I had my leg to spare A mother visits her son, Smiles to him through the bars She's never loved him more An obese girl enters an elevator with me All dressed up fancy A green butterfly on her neck Terribly sweet perfume deafens me She's going to dinner alone That makes her even more beautiful I see a model's face on a brick wall A statue of porcelain perfection beside a violent city kill A city that worships flesh The first thing I ever heard Was a wandering man telling his story It was you, the grass under my bare feet The campfire in the dead of the night The heavenly black of sky and sea It was us Roaming the rainy roads Combing the gilded beaches Waking up to a new gallery of wonders every morn Bathing in places no-one's seen before Shipwrecked on some matt-painted island Clad in nothing but the surf Beauty's finest robe Beyond all mortality we are Swinging in the breath of nature In early air of the dawn of life A sight to silence the heavens I want to travel where life travels Following its permanent lead Where the air tastes like snow music Where grass smells like fresh-born Eden I would pass no man, no stranger, no tragedy or rapture I would bathe in a world of sensation Love, Goodness, and Simplicity (While violated and imprisoned by technology) The thought of my family's graves was the only moment I used to experience true love That love remains infinite As I'll never be the man my father is How can you "just be yourself" When you don't know who you are? Stop saying "I know how you feel" How could anyone know how another feels? Who am I to judge a priest, beggar, whore, politician, wrongdoer? I am, you are, all of them already Dear child, stop working, go play Forget every rule There's no fear in a dream "Is there a village inside this snowflake?" A child asked me "What's the color of our lullaby?" I've never been so close to truth as then I touched its silver lining Death is the winner in any war Nothing noble in dying for your religion For your country For ideology, for faith For another man, yes Paper is dead without words Ink idle without a poem All the world dead without stories Without love and disarming beauty Careless realism costs souls Ever seen the Lord smile? All the care for the world made Beautiful a sad man? Why do we still carry a device of torture around our necks? Oh, how rotten your pre-apocalypse is All you bible-black fools living over nightmare ground I see all those empty cradles and wonder If man will ever change I, too, wish to be a decent manboy But all I am Is smoke and mirrors Still given everything, may I be deservin And there forever remains That change from G to E minor. "
You should watch the whole concert. After that you can continue with Wembley, Tampere, Buenos Aires 2018 and Hellfest 2022. :) These are the best concerts in my opinion.
Yes! And if you want to do it chronologically: first Tampere, then Wembley (and react to the little documentary about Floor and Tampere, @brendonchase9736 knows how to find it: "Floor Jansen in Dutch show Reunion (Tampere 2015)", channel name "Matrix")
@@bennybuffylove I disagree. Don't get me wrong, I miss Marko too, his voice and talent gave an amazingly rich layer to the band. But Hellfest was waaaay above average in my opinion.
Another great reaction, my friend. And yes, my wife and I got to travel from Phoenix to San Francisco to see them perform live at the historic Warfield Theatre on May 18th, 2022. What an absolutely incredible show. Simply wonderful from start to finish. Thank you for continuing your journey down our Nightwish rabbit hole.
R.I.P Ann Waychoff mother of the Nightwish Army. June 28th, 2020 This is your song. If you ever have to explain the Groove in Metal to someone - play this tune. Until the Breakdown hits you with a 10 ton hammer it is all fun and games. But then the slow chugging monster with the machine gun riffing takes over. And for every Metal Head this lights up the day. Awesome….Imho one of the best songs ever. Sometimes the sky is piano black…. Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries and Stonehenge, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !
Love this performance ❤❤❤ hope you can see them live again in a year or 3. Next album will not have a tour. They needed a break. I've seen them live now 5 times. 1 time Tarja, 1 time Anette and 3 times with Floor. The shows have been getting far more bigger and more epic through out the years. But attending a show is a must. 😅 2 hours are over in a blink of the eye. Such a journey.
Bad luck, Nick, they are on a touring hiatus right now. I saw Floor on her solo tour in July and even she herself did not know when they will be on the road again. There will be a new album though, I would guess in 2024. When they decide to go back on tour again, of course you need to see them, highly recommended 😁
Yes! My number 2. That second entry of Marcos - live it so much I extracted it and have it as my ringtone. Tuomas' description of depression is the best I've heard - "sometimes the within is PUANO black" New album soon but this time they are not touring it. If you want the best concert, it's Buenos Aires 2018. For a taster, Devil and the Deep Dark Zocean and Dead Boys Poem - my joint numbers 4.
There is no band on the same level as NW ,their lyrics,compositions,stage production,Live performances,and then vocals : there are many great female vocalist in the world, then there are a few exceptional ones ,then there is Floor Jansen, Floor Jansen formerly of AfterForever & ReVamp who in 1999 started attending the Rock Academy in Tilburg and then at the National Conservatory in the Netherlands. She then went on to study & trained in musical theatre and also attended opera lessons for a year.,
It's an epic movie soundtrack. Like Storytime and other songs from the concert, the song comes from the album Imaginaerum, which is also the film music for Nightwish's film of the same name. The song has two meanings. On the one hand, it is a tribute to Walt Whitman's poem of the same name. On the other hand, the main character in the film suffers from dementia and forgets more and more. In order to reconcile with his daughter, he writes down everything he always wanted to say to her but never said. This is what the texts in the background, see on the screen. In the studio version, the collection of quotes follows the song, spoken by the actors and band members. Seeing it live won't happen in the near future. A new album will be released early next year, but the majority of the band insisted on the one-year break. The pandemic has thrown their schedule into disarray. There will therefore be no tour for the next album. When the next tour will come is uncertain. At Floor, Plan B has become Plan A. She will be traveling with her solo program. The bassist and singer Marko Hietala left the band during the pandemic and is also touring solo: The newest: EXIT EDEN - Run! feat. Marko Hietala (Official Video) | Napalm Records Marko Stuff: MARKO HIETALA - Dead God's Son (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO)
Wacken 2013 is my go to concert 90% of the time. Full Marko effect, Jukka the drummer, and Floor more beautiful without the tattoos. That was my introduction to Nightwish 4+ years ago at age 70. Hardly watch any reactions from any of their other concerts unless Marko is involved. And of course, I have watched tons of reactions to Floor's solo stuff....Beste Zangers, her covers songs, Amsterdam Live 2021, While Loved Died, 2010 Revamp-Disdain. Never really got into Floor's new album, no replay value for me after seeing all this Nightwish stuff with her and the previous stuff mentioned. Metal never interested me in all my years except for certain songs from the 70's and 80's. I'm not a metalhead, I'm a Floor Jansen head.
This song is for You Ann (mother of Nightwish Army) R.I.P 🤘😔🤘 Your flame and passion lives on in Us 🤘🔥🤘. Ann Waychoff was known by many as the Nightwish Mom. She would give comments to people who reacted to Nightwish videos to try and help the reactors understand and she would tirelessly exchange comments with people who wanted to know more. She also communicated privately with a large number of fans and reactors (we know now from the tributes.). ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=ann+waychoff will show how many knew her and how many liked her enough to spend hours making videos about her/dedicated to her. For me this song has some serious Pantera vibes 🤘🔥🤘. Pure fire and great song!!! Especially the poem (that is in the fan made longer video of this version): I see a slow, simple youngster by a busy street, with a begging bowl in his shaking hand. Trying to smile but hurting infinitely. Nobody notices. I do, but walk by. An old man gets naked and kisses a model-doll in his attic. It’s half-light and he’s in tears. When he finally comes his eyes are cascading. I see a beaten dog in a pungent alley. He tries to bite me. All pride has left his wild drooling eyes. I wish I had my leg to spare. A mother visits her son, smiles to him through the bars. She’s never loved him more. An obese girl enters an elevator with me. All dressed up fancy, a green butterfly on her neck. Terribly sweet perfume deafens me. She’s going to dinner alone. That makes her even more beautiful. I see a model’s face on a brick wall. A statue of porcelain perfection beside a violent city kill. A city that worships flesh. The 1st thing I ever heard was a wandering man telling his story It was you, the grass under my bare feet The campfire in the dead of the night The heavenly black of sky and sea It was us Roaming the rainy roads, combing the gilded beaches Waking up to a new gallery of wonders every morn Bathing in places no-one’s seen before Shipwrecked on some matt-painted island Clad in nothing but the surf - beauty’s finest robe Beyond all mortality we are, swinging in the breath of nature In early air of the dawn of life A sight to silence the heavens I want to travel where life travels, following its permanent lead Where the air tastes like snow music Where grass smells like fresh-born Eden I would pass no man, no stranger, no tragedy or rapture I would bathe in a world of sensation Love, Goodness, and Simplicity ( While violated and imprisoned by technology ) The thought of my family’s graves was the only moment I used to experience true love That love remains infinite, as I’ll never be the man my father is How can you “just be yourself” when you don’t know who you are?

Love discovering Nightwish with you! Speaking of powerful vocalists, if you ever want to check out Hozier, specifically one of his live performances, I think you’d be very impressed!
The lyrics on the screen behind are the spoken parts that exist in the studio version of the song that they don't do live! Funny thing this is actually a soundtrack, at least the musical part is. From their Movie that has the same title as the album that this song is part of! Imaginaerum! I strongly recommend the movie!
Wacken 2013 is in my opinion the best concert ever performed with Wembley 2015 second and Tampere 2015 third and Buenos Aires fourth since you have done my top three already why not do my fourth favorite the devil and the dark deep ocean I'll throw in my 5th seven days to the wolves
Thank you for your reaction ❤. I know that you already done phantom of the opera,but I like to hear Floors version with Henk Port and with Nightwish..you find it its quite new. I love your Nightwish reactions ,thank you for that. Hellfest concert is also awesome 2022,you should check that😊. Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮🙋♀️
You just missed their world tour. They are currently making a new album, but only Floor might be touring over the next year and a half for her solo stuff, and she throws in a few Nightwish songs at times. We hope to see them out touring in 2025, find😅etc crossed. I am sure there will be some awesome videos to go with the new album to react to once it gets released next year. :)
Hey Nick, I just wanted to say how happy I was to notice you are reacting to Nightwish songs! I've been watching your Buffyverse and Friends reactions on your other channel and really enjoying them, and Nightwish is my favorite band. My favorite Nightwish performance is The Greatest Show on Earth (Tampere 2015) which is an epic 20-minute song about the history of our planet. I hope you'll react to it at some point! (Definitely put up the lyrics for that one though, they really enhance the whole experience of that song.)
You should really check out How's the Heart and Endlessness. Two amazing songs from a recent album. One by Floor the other by Marko. The lyrics on the background are, if I'm not mistaken, the words of a poem that makes up the last part of this very song, a part that isn't included in the live show, but it is shown in the background.
Great reaction thanks, I love the way you put the Artist in full screen and yourself bottom right, a lot of reactors have the artists way too small. Can I recommend Tribal at Hellfest 2022 it’s amazing (or anything at Hellfest!)🤘
Hi I love your reactions to Dimash, hear is 2 suggestions....YOU THINK THATS AMAZING, TRY THESE ONES....Dimash - Adai+Daididau | Bastau 2017.....SPECIAL DIMASH MOMENTS • "Late Autumn" • Compilation of vocalizations.....ENJOO
This 'Jaymz' duud started to be on Utuub universe with his buddies watching movies, comperately successeed, but throwing him self on this world is... Well... You probably know what 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙 🎶💯💥

At 72, I use Nightwish live concerts to confirm a still have a pulse - works everytime.
I agree, I am 71 and it works the same
Just turned 73. Saw them last year and can't wait to see them again!
I was a Doobie Brothers, Allman Brothers, Stones, Hot Tuna, Heart, Dire Straits, Jethro Tull kind of a guy. Saw all of them in concert and some many times. Found Nightwish about 5 years ago. Still can't believe what I see and hear. WOW
If and when they touring again, I'll try to see them. @@sandyegun3780

" I see a slow, simple youngster by a busy street

Trying to smile but hurting infinitely

I see a model's face on a brick wall
A statue of porcelain perfection beside a violent city kill
A city that worships flesh
The first thing I ever heard
Was a wandering man telling his story
It was you, the grass under my bare feet
The campfire in the dead of the night
The heavenly black of sky and sea
It was us
Roaming the rainy roads
Combing the gilded beaches
Waking up to a new gallery of wonders every morn
Bathing in places no-one's seen before
Shipwrecked on some matt-painted island
Clad in nothing but the surf
Beauty's finest robe
Beyond all mortality we are
Swinging in the breath of nature
In early air of the dawn of life
A sight to silence the heavens
I want to travel where life travels
Following its permanent lead
Where the air tastes like snow music
Where grass smells like fresh-born Eden
I would pass no man, no stranger, no tragedy or rapture
I would bathe in a world of sensation
Love, Goodness, and Simplicity
(While violated and imprisoned by technology)
The thought of my family's graves was the only moment
I used to experience true love
That love remains infinite
As I'll never be the man my father is
How can you "just be yourself"
When you don't know who you are?
Stop saying "I know how you feel"
How could anyone know how another feels?
Who am I to judge a priest, beggar, whore, politician, wrongdoer?
I am, you are, all of them already
Dear child, stop working, go play
Forget every rule
There's no fear in a dream
"Is there a village inside this snowflake?"
A child asked me
"What's the color of our lullaby?"
I've never been so close to truth as then
I touched its silver lining
Death is the winner in any war
Nothing noble in dying for your religion
For your country
For ideology, for faith
For another man, yes
Paper is dead without words
Ink idle without a poem
All the world dead without stories
Without love and disarming beauty
Careless realism costs souls
Ever seen the Lord smile?
All the care for the world made Beautiful a sad man?
Why do we still carry a device of torture around our necks?
Oh, how rotten your pre-apocalypse is
All you bible-black fools living over nightmare ground
I see all those empty cradles and wonder
If man will ever change
I, too, wish to be a decent manboy
But all I am
Is smoke and mirrors
Still given everything, may I be deservin
And there forever remains
That change from G to E minor. "
Here she moves like a friggin predator the entire time, like a seductive panther
Amazing Nightwish ❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you 😊
The end... so heavy yet soft at the same time. Greetings from the Nightwishland a.k.a Finland 🇫🇮
They have a new album out next year but have announced they won’t be touring and are taking a break.
Floor has crazy swag
Maybe try Sahara live from Tampa from nightwish.... one of my favorites
You should watch the whole concert. After that you can continue with Wembley, Tampere, Buenos Aires 2018 and Hellfest 2022. :) These are the best concerts in my opinion.
100% agreed 🤘🤘🤘

Nightwish songs are killer hits
Nightwish NEVER disappoints. New album coming up in early 2024. No concerts for a while they needed some time off. But they will be back.❤
It's my absolute favorit song. Floor making it heavy
Next song could be: I want my tears back (Buenos Aires 2018)… 👍‼️🏆
If you want to see Floor move, that's the one!
Seeing them live was an amazing experience. They are currently not touring, but they are releasing a new album next year.

At Floor, Plan B has become Plan A. She will be traveling with her solo program. The bassist and singer Marko Hietala left the band during the pandemic and is also touring solo:

MARKO HIETALA - Dead God's Son (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO)
Wacken 2013 is my go to concert 90% of the time. Full Marko effect, Jukka the drummer, and Floor more beautiful without the tattoos. That was my introduction to Nightwish 4+ years ago at age 70. Hardly watch any reactions from any of their other concerts unless Marko is involved. And of course, I have watched tons of reactions to Floor's solo stuff....Beste Zangers, her covers songs, Amsterdam Live 2021, While Loved Died, 2010 Revamp-Disdain. Never really got into Floor's new album, no replay value for me after seeing all this Nightwish stuff with her and the previous stuff mentioned. Metal never interested me in all my years except for certain songs from the 70's and 80's. I'm not a metalhead, I'm a Floor Jansen head.
This song is for You Ann (mother of Nightwish Army) R.I.P 🤘😔🤘
Your flame and passion lives on in Us 🤘🔥🤘.
Ann Waychoff was known by many as the Nightwish Mom. She would give comments to people who reacted to Nightwish videos to try and help the reactors understand and she would tirelessly exchange comments with people who wanted to know more. She also communicated privately with a large number of fans and reactors (we know now from the tributes.). ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=ann+waychoff will show how many knew her and how many liked her enough to spend hours making videos about her/dedicated to her.
For me this song has some serious Pantera vibes 🤘🔥🤘. Pure fire and great song!!!
Especially the poem (that is in the fan made longer video of this version):
I see a slow, simple youngster by a busy street, with a begging bowl in his shaking hand.
Trying to smile but hurting infinitely. Nobody notices.
I do, but walk by.
An old man gets naked and kisses a model-doll in his attic.
It’s half-light and he’s in tears.
When he finally comes his eyes are cascading.
I see a beaten dog in a pungent alley. He tries to bite me.
All pride has left his wild drooling eyes.
I wish I had my leg to spare.
A mother visits her son, smiles to him through the bars.
She’s never loved him more.
An obese girl enters an elevator with me.
All dressed up fancy, a green butterfly on her neck.
Terribly sweet perfume deafens me.
She’s going to dinner alone.
That makes her even more beautiful.
I see a model’s face on a brick wall.
A statue of porcelain perfection beside a violent city kill.
A city that worships flesh.
The 1st thing I ever heard was a wandering man telling his story
It was you, the grass under my bare feet
The campfire in the dead of the night
The heavenly black of sky and sea
It was us
Roaming the rainy roads, combing the gilded beaches
Waking up to a new gallery of wonders every morn
Bathing in places no-one’s seen before
Shipwrecked on some matt-painted island
Clad in nothing but the surf - beauty’s finest robe
Beyond all mortality we are, swinging in the breath of nature
In early air of the dawn of life
A sight to silence the heavens
I want to travel where life travels, following its permanent lead
Where the air tastes like snow music
Where grass smells like fresh-born Eden
I would pass no man, no stranger, no tragedy or rapture
I would bathe in a world of sensation
Love, Goodness, and Simplicity
( While violated and imprisoned by technology )
The thought of my family’s graves was the only moment I used to experience true love
That love remains infinite, as I’ll never be the man my father is
How can you “just be yourself” when you don’t know who you are?
Stop saying “I know how you feel”
How could anyone know how another feels?
Who am I to judge a priest, beggar, whore, politician, wrongdoer?
I am, you are, all of them already
Dear child, stop working, go play
Forget every rule
There’s no fear in a dream
“Is there a village inside this snowflake?”
a child asked me “What’s the color of our lullaby?”
I’ve never been so close to truth as then
I touched its silver lining
Death is the winner in any war
Nothing noble in dying for your religion
For your country
For ideology, for faith
For another man, yes
Paper is dead without words
Ink idle without a poem
All the world dead without stories
Without love and disarming beauty
Careless realism costs souls
Ever seen the Lord smile?
All the care for the world made Beautiful a sad man?
Why do we still carry a device of torture around our necks?
Oh, how rotten your pre-apocalypse is
All you bible-black fools living over nightmare ground
I see all those empty cradles and wonder
If man will ever change
I, too, wish to be a decent manboy but all I am
Is smoke and mirrors
Still given everything, may I be deserving
And there forever remains that change from G to Em
NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.
Love discovering Nightwish with you!
Speaking of powerful vocalists, if you ever want to check out Hozier, specifically one of his live performances, I think you’d be very impressed!
They will be releasing a new record in spring/summer of 2024.
The lyrics on the screen behind are the spoken parts that exist in the studio version of the song that they don't do live!
Funny thing this is actually a soundtrack, at least the musical part is. From their Movie that has the same title as the album that this song is part of! Imaginaerum! I strongly recommend the movie!
7 days to the wolves from wembley and dead boys poem from buenos aires should be good
Wacken 2013 is in my opinion the best concert ever performed with Wembley 2015 second and Tampere 2015 third and Buenos Aires fourth since you have done my top three already why not do my fourth favorite the devil and the dark deep ocean I'll throw in my 5th seven days to the wolves
Thank you for your reaction ❤. I know that you already done phantom of the opera,but I like to hear Floors version with Henk Port and with Nightwish..you find it its quite new.
I love your Nightwish reactions ,thank you for that. Hellfest concert is also awesome 2022,you should check that😊.
Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮🙋♀️
You just missed their world tour.
They are currently making a new album, but only Floor might be touring over the next year and a half for her solo stuff, and she throws in a few Nightwish songs at times.
We hope to see them out touring in 2025, find😅etc crossed. I am sure there will be some awesome videos to go with the new album to react to once it gets released next year. :)
Ttheir song gives me chills every time. They're on another level 🤘
and just now October Ends dropped a banger 🔥 You gotta react to it!
This is a very dark song, but I love it.
Hey Nick, I just wanted to say how happy I was to notice you are reacting to Nightwish songs! I've been watching your Buffyverse and Friends reactions on your other channel and really enjoying them, and Nightwish is my favorite band. My favorite Nightwish performance is The Greatest Show on Earth (Tampere 2015) which is an epic 20-minute song about the history of our planet. I hope you'll react to it at some point! (Definitely put up the lyrics for that one though, they really enhance the whole experience of that song.)
You should really check out How's the Heart and Endlessness. Two amazing songs from a recent album. One by Floor the other by Marko.
The lyrics on the background are, if I'm not mistaken, the words of a poem that makes up the last part of this very song, a part that isn't included in the live show, but it is shown in the background.
Great reaction thanks, I love the way you put the Artist in full screen and yourself bottom right, a lot of reactors have the artists way too small.
Can I recommend Tribal at Hellfest 2022 it’s amazing (or anything at Hellfest!)🤘
Hi I love your reactions to Dimash, hear is 2 suggestions....YOU THINK THATS AMAZING, TRY THESE ONES....Dimash - Adai+Daididau | Bastau 2017.....SPECIAL DIMASH MOMENTS • "Late Autumn" • Compilation of vocalizations.....ENJOO
