Great reaction! Since you asked, the keyboardist is Tuomas Holopainen. He is one of the founding members of the band and, more importantly, writes 99% of the music and the lyrics. Floor and Marco get all the attention, but Tuomas is the genius behind it all.
So, the Keyboardist: Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish) Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration. There are two London based choirs too on the backing track, the other one is a children's choir. And of course with a synth you can do a lot. Now the song: This song is an absolute banger 🤘😎🤘. Kai's drumming on this is just crazy ( Kai Hahto "The Human Metronome", or in my book Kai "The Machine Gun" Hahto )!!! In one interview Tuomas/Marko said that Floor has a lungs of a dolphin (That long note is 💥)!!! Plus, she holds the last note (A4) of Nightwish - Ad Astra for 17 seconds (10/6/2022 Sweden Festival). If this wasn't impressive enough, I can also add than now she's just one, I mean ONE, second short from equaling Pavarotti's longest belt ever recorded. So,.... Nuff Said !!!! NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘
A 20-year-old song, but reborn. Different singers (male + female), different bass player, different drummer = different sound. But I love this version!
I have loved how they have evolved their older music along with their own skills and musicianship. They have so much more experience and better equipment than they ever did back in those days.
@@rkempo Partially agree, yes their music has evolved a lot as Tuomas's taste in music has changed, but it does not mean they have gotten better in everyone's opinion, since not all like how dramatically their music has changed. Also you do realize apart from Tuomas and Emppu all the members are different? I personally don't think this song in particular (and 2-3 other songs from this era) is even close to how good the original is, simply because the style and tone of the original does not match well with Marko and to lesser extent Floor. Marko has too pretty voice for this song, while Floor sings her part too harsly, changing the dynamic of the song and the extreme contrast it relies between the angelic vs demonic duet, which just isn't there with Floor and Marko (in some songs people often even mistake their voices since they can sing so close to each other if they want, yours is an empty hope is the most common one this happens). It is still a great song, but just not at the level and style the og version is, which a lot of og Nightwish fans rank as top 3 Nightwish songs of all time Also Emppu used to be a lot better guitarist in his early career, but had a pretty big drop during Anette era (lack of drive?), but has luckily regained most of his skill since Floor joined, but isn't quite at the level he used to be, but ofc age also factors in as well, playing guitar at that level is physically quite demanding as well. And for singers it is much worse, age and strain often has a massive detrimental effect on singers which gets worse and worse with age, not the opposite. Singers of this caliber have to go extreme lengths of vocal tuning and training not to have their voice deteriorate. Tarja is an amazing example of this and has talked in length on to what lengths she has to go to maintain her voice, and while I have never heard Floor (she is also a lot younger than Tarja) go over her routines on how she upkeeps it, her voice techniques are at such insanely high level she shouldn't have any problems with it either Just listen to singers who had a hit single career 30-40 years ago, and 75% of them can't sing for s**t anymore
@@Songfugel Hey, If I could have Tarja back. I would in a second. For me this is one of their best performances, I guess Its every man for themselves, I respect yours, I certainly respect you lengthy detail as to why its not for you. For me this is their ultimate performance, I can't compare anything to this. With that said. Nightwish is Nightwish, I have been here 20+ years myself, I respect all the performers all the same. I just happen to like this a little more than the rest.
Tuomas (keys), pronounced Too-ohmas. He writes most of the music and lyrics for Nightwish. This one is a taste of Nightwish fantasy musical theater. Marko is the role of the devil/evil entity. Floor is the innocence and purity of the Lady in White/Mermaid. She was resisting Marko's amorous attempts to capture, control, and possess Floor's mermaid character who represents all that is good. She escapes his clutches to swim and live free. This is why the ending lines and music have a feel of redemption and hope.
@@KoalityReactions Ghost River from Wacken 2013 is a must, Floor does an acapella that is mesmerizing, also from Wacken 2013 : Amaranth, Nemo, Song of Myself, Bless The Child , you will "love" them all
Great reaction! It's interesting you brought up the "Little Mermaid" vibe. Tuomas writes his songs essentially from his upbringing. As a child he was heavily influenced by Disney classics. In his video biography he returned to his childhood home where his parents still live. His parents you could argue "preserved" his childhood bedroom and it's packed with Disney memorabilia from books, videos and toys. I think many of his songs "tap" into that such as "Dark Chest of Wonders", "Storytime", "Last Ride of the Day", "Ghost River" to name a few. As he grew, he had strong interests in biology, evolution and oceanography. Many of his songs have those elements in his writing and compositions as well. Initially, Tuomas' music started out as traditional folk story telling (you can see that with Troy Donelky's (sp) contributions with the Irish Bagpipes). Storytelling is a key element in NW music. And that makes it all the more fascinating in a Symphonic Metal genre.
As others have said, Tuomas is the heart and soul of Nightwish. His songs, interpreted by this group of extremely talented musicians, make this band what it is. Tuomas is also a part of another band, called Auri. That band has a different, and lovely, sound. A good starting place for Auri might be the Official Music Video for the song "Night 13".
The Night 13 video is very cinematic and is a deep, impactful portrayal of someone coming to terms with an end to a life well lived. There is a "making of" video for how the song video was produced, which is also worth viewing. Pearl diving is a lighter entry into the Auri sound with Tuomas, Troy and Tuomas's wife Johanna.
Looks like the 2018 ‘Decades’ tour, celebrating 20 years of Nightwish, and I saw the St. Louis part of the North American tour. It featured a lot of deep cuts that they don’t play live that often, and this was a very early song. On the topic of Floor and growing, you’ll be shocked at what she can do. One day, you’ll have to hear ‘Yours Is An Empty Hope’.

Love to see you continue your Nightwish journey. Here's an update on the members on this video and also the current: - Floor Jansen, vocals - Tuomas Holopainen, keyboards and the composer - Emppu Vuorinen, guitars - Kai Hahto, drums - Marko Hietala, bass and vocals - Troy Donockley, Uilleann pipes, tin whistle, low whistle, guitars, bouzouki, bodhrán, vocals Markos left the band in 2020 due to personal issues and was in 2021 replaced by Jukka Koskinen on bass.
Top 5 Nightwish performance for me. I love this one so much. Even by Floor's lofty standards, she is extra special here. Add the theatrics between her and Marko, Kai and Tuomas going absolutely ham on their instruments, and Emppu being Emppu, and this one is really special. Only negative is it's too short! I think it was cool that you picked up on mermaid vibes before even knowing the lyrics! 🧜♂
Your exactly right , Marco is the Devil trying to have his way with Floor the Mermaid but she's having none of it . You want Floor growling then there song "Yours is an Empty Hope" live in Mexico City 2015 will satisfy you.
@@DenisBelo : Nope. The sound balance is actually better because of the size of the venue, and I'll explain why. It has to do with acoustics. A growl, being a very low-level sound, should barely be audible. Otherwise, it sounds like a fry scream (listen to Tonight We Ride by Unleash the Archers), which not only isn't a growl, but doesn't even have a lot of power behind it. This is what Wembley or Mexico City does, in terms of how Floor's growling sounds. To be completely honest, at that point, Helle Bogdanova or Angela Gossow (ex-Archenemy) sound as if they have more power to push a growl to keep the sound level consistent. But with the Nightwish Cruise, because the audience is so close to the stage, thus so close to the speakers, not only do you get a growl without nearly the amount of distortion other sounds could mix with, but the audience acts almost as a sound filter and sound insulation to get the better sound quality. And, Nightwish Cruise is also the only performance that Marko's laughing is actually in time at the end.
In her previous band 'Revamp' Floor experimented with different vocal styles within one song from full operatic to death growls in seconds. Here are some examples: Misery’s no Crime: ua-cam.com/video/SNPesLFTnUg/v-deo.html Disdain: ua-cam.com/video/tIqzPXzhEuw/v-deo.html
Good afternoon Jenna...we've missed you too and it's great to see you back continuing with your NW journey 😍 Lovely reaction (as usual) to a great song and performance. For some more brilliant vocal interaction between Floor and Marco...and even better, IMO...check out Ghost River from Wacken 2013...it's amazing and one of my favs 😁🤘
I always hear it as the battle between good, & evil, played out by these two characters! The dark demands, wants to take, the good says “who the Hell are you” the undeserved.
Look at how she towers over everyone else in the band. What a presence, what a talent. Also, recognize Kai and his perfection as a drummer. Ok, the whole band is just awesome. I don't wanna leave anyone out.
Yep, it's still my favorite outfit of hers. To me this is a mini rock opera. One day i will sit down and figure out the meters to this. No body tell me! Lol😂
I think that often people have a mistaken idea of what a Mermaid is, because the Mermaids mithologically speaking are not like the "Little Mermaid", but are creatures that sing to the sailors to confuse and seduct them, and when the sailors are possesed by the songs the Mermaids eats them.
This is actually talked about (a tiny amount) in the new live action Little Mermaid, because the song that she sings IS a siren song… that’s why Prince Eric is so enthralled with her. (They just don’t eat the humans in that world. Hahaha) But yes, I knew that about mermaid lore! That’s why I mentioned the siren song! 🔥
@@KoalityReactions also a "must" from Wembley 2015 : Yours Is An Empty Hope, pay close attention to who is doing what type of vocals :) ?? Nightwish - Yours Is An Empty Hope.Vehicle Of Spirit.Live at Wembley (2015) Nightwish - 7 Days To The Wolves (Live at Wembley Arena)2015 Nightwish - How's The Heart Acoustic (Planet Rock acoustic session) Live 2020 ( done in one take, no edits,amazing)just Floor & Troy NIGHTWISH. SLEEPING SUN. ( FLOOR JANSEN ) - 2015 MASTERS OF ROCK FESTIVAL
Really enjoyed this, not heard it for quite a while! For a 25 year old song (revamped) it’s just amazing! Nice to see Emppu letting rip on guitar, he doesn’t do that very often 😂, and Floor……. you don’t see that outfit very often! Yeah as others have said it was Tuomas on keys like a demon 😂, the brain behind Nightwish, a lyrical and musical genius! Enjoyed your rundown and reaction, nice to see you back on some Nightwish, for the next one I think Yours is an empty hope Live from Wembley is a good one, a bit more Floor showing what she can do in that one! 🌹
Floor’s outfit is from Royal Black Couture. Designer is from Austria. That outfit was copied with out a permission to a Hollywood movie few years ago. (Coming to America II)
Aaahhh, TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN (aka.: the Keyboardguy, METALMOZARD...) IS NIGHTWISH, NIGHTWISH IS TUOMAS! The Alpha and the Omega. 😁 But it's really nice to have you back on the Ghost River. Enjoy the ride 😄 Greetings from Germany and EMPPU RULES 🤘😎 alex 🤗
OHHH... You are soo good at discovering the meaning of the songs... Smart smart girl!!! You will looove Bless the child live at Wachem 2013 and Ghetsemane live in Buenos aires 2018 but also 7 days to the wolves live at Wembley 2015 and Weak Fantasy... live in Tampere 2015.... Hugs from Eastern Europe!!!!
Your good reaction brought me to your channel. I decided to subscribed ;) Hi Koality ... Would you be kind enough to check out 4th Impact their 1st audition on X Factor UK(2015) singing "Bang bang(Jessie J hit)" It's 192 Million Views & No.1 most Viewed on X Factor History.
Go Kai go!!! 🤘🔥The keyboardist is Tuomas Holopainen, founder and main composer of Nightwish. He is sometimes called Metal Mozart, and it's pretty easy to see why. He is a big fan of Disney (like me, well the old Disney, not the new, woke version), and is referring to himself as an ocean soul, if I understand correctly. He seems to be somewhat of an introvert (also like me), and I can't help it, I get a warm, safe feeling when he smiles, and I look into his eyes.
Great reaction! Floor has her outfits custom made. I believe this outfit and the ones for the Human Nature tour were made by Royal Black Couture and Corsetry in Vienna using a steampunk aesthetic.
I will add that Floor can do some serious death metal growls. Tuomas is not a big fan so only one Nightwish song does she get to use it. Yours is an Empty Hope live from Wembley is my favorite performance although Mexico City is pretty good. Floor did alot more growling in her previous band ReVamp. Checkout Disdain live from Graspop and Wild Card live from Bloodstock.
I've been observing your reactions recently and you know what? I like them very much. Don't worry about the fact that you keep looking for Floor's outfit, I can't take my eyes off her - and my ears too...
Hi Jenna, greetings from UK Another wonderful reaction, thank you 😉 I used to be confused about this song until someone explained about the devil and the mermaid 😂 If you would like a siren AND growly Floor in the same song, Marko singing and an iconic guitar riff, then may I most humbly suggest the song "Yours Is An Empty Hope" from the Wembley Arena concert? A 30 second excerpt from the song also appeared on an episode of 'The Simpsons' 😁
The key board guy is Metal Mozart he compose most of it and Emppu does his hown solos., that fits in. Tuomas Holopainen is his name, the Mozart guy. Almost forgto to mention your lovely reactons they are so nice and soon you are a metal monster and have the same outfit as Floor. ;)
Love your passion for and breakdowns of your Nightwish experiences Jenna👍👍 They were super fortunate to be blessed with both Jukka and Kai…two phenomenal drummers who melded so perfectly with this phenomenal band. Kai in Beast Mode on the drum kit ..again👍in this one🤘🤘
If the song is called Devil and the deep dark ocean, then it's not really hard to figure out that Marco is probably the devil. And since you've correctly recognized mermaid vibes, it's also not hard to guess in connection with the ocean in the title that Floor is the mermaid here. The devil falls in love with the siren, but she doesn't like him at all. That's the short version.
I've missed your Nightwish reactions and haven't watched any of their works since your previous one. Ive been so totally wrapped up in The Warning lately. Thanks for bringing me back. You're excellent as always. I'm sure you could totally rock that outfit. You should track it down and wear it for all your Nightwish reactions. BTW the Root Bear and milk was good too. Maybe I'll toast this reaction with one tonight.
If you liked her outfits. *Dolls Kill and Kill Star* have a good range of Gothic clothing. Plus my partner loves shopping at *The Gothic Shop uk* (She costs me a small fortune. lol) but they're based in the UK. And I don't know if they ship elsewhere. I suppose they do, but I've never checked.
Another band from Finland. This song is special. it's symphonic metal. Wintersun - Sons Of Winter And Stars (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios) REMASTER But before you listen to the song, read the lyrics. Because they're hard to hear. But they are interesting, even though they are difficult to interpret. They have a Nightwish drummer in their band :D And he gave fire here! P.S. I can tell you from experience that this is not an easy song to sing and to play. it's very long. We done it at the rehearsal and sweated :) We play covers of songs by different bands just as a hobby (nothing special.. yet) And we play at local clubs.
If you want to know or understand Tuomas Holopainen please checkout A lifetime of adventure. A song about Scrooge McDuck. Also Auri which both feature his wife Johanna plus Troy who also is from Nightwish. Thank you
There are only 2 songs you need to know a bit about before hand to understand. And you don’t need to research really deeply as some suggest. Just knowing the premise behind the song and what it’s about is enough. Poet and pendulum. And Greatest show on earth. Read one paragraph description and that’ll be enough to get it.
@@KoalityReactionsgreatest show on earth is my all time favourite song. Even if you research it, it will take listening to 4-5 times through before you catch all of the lyrics and compositional genius of it. Do Tampere version.
Beste Zangers 2019, Dutch TV show where Floor Jansen performing incredible songs. etc. Shallow could you make a reaction videos for these beautiful performances.
This song was created before Marko joined the band. The original recording features a male vocalist that in my opinion was very uninteresting. Floor may still be divisive to the elder fanbase, but Marko made a definite improvement.
Because Christmas is coming : ua-cam.com/video/HPdHkHslFIU/v-deo.html&start_radio=1, look till the end including the credits because there is a nice treat of the Sabaton drummers wife.
You can love the outfit but you can't have it. Royal Black Couture promised never to make a copy. In the original version this was unremarkable in performance, though the genius was obvious. This performance brought it up to my top 5 (joint 4 with Dead Boy's Poem from the same concert, which you will love). This one is the Devil (Marco) trying to seduce the Mermaid to his watery realm but she's not up for that at all. If you liked the vocal gymnastics here, try Slaying the Dreamer from this, the best Nightwish concert I have (33 now). The pyrotechnics Floor and Marco display are phenomenal.
I think if you had an awesome jar for every time you say awesome you would probably have enough money at the end of a year for a nice vacation. Lastly your right her voice is awesome. If Dimash is an alien Floor is the female alien.
i hate people who dont watch the videos first and comment later,thats why i dont sbscribe to your channel or anyone who doesnt watch first and comment later,just like me there are more people who think the same.
Great reaction! Since you asked, the keyboardist is Tuomas Holopainen. He is one of the founding members of the band and, more importantly, writes 99% of the music and the lyrics. Floor and Marco get all the attention, but Tuomas is the genius behind it all.
i concur
My favourite member, Tuomas ❤
But the driving force behind the typical Nightwish sound is: Emppu Viorinen!
Without Tuomas there is no Nightwish, it's his brain child. Emppu is often overlooked but he and his purple mistress💜 🎸 are essential for the sound.
So, the Keyboardist:
Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish)
Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration. There are two London based choirs too on the backing track, the other one is a children's choir. And of course with a synth you can do a lot.
Now the song:
This song is an absolute banger 🤘😎🤘.
Kai's drumming on this is just crazy ( Kai Hahto "The Human Metronome", or in my book Kai "The Machine Gun" Hahto )!!!
In one interview Tuomas/Marko said that Floor has a lungs of a dolphin (That long note is 💥)!!!
Plus, she holds the last note (A4) of Nightwish - Ad Astra for 17 seconds (10/6/2022 Sweden Festival).
If this wasn't impressive enough, I can also add than now she's just one, I mean ONE, second short from equaling Pavarotti's longest belt ever recorded.
So,....
Nuff Said !!!!

Markos left the band in 2020 due to personal issues and was in 2021 replaced by Jukka Koskinen on bass.

Thanks for reaction 👍
and there's more to explore and enjoy ...😜🤘
Nightwish reaction must read the lyrics... Everything makes more sense:) nice reaction
Really enjoyed this, not heard it for quite a while! For a 25 year old song (revamped) it’s just amazing! Nice to see Emppu letting rip on guitar, he doesn’t do that very often 😂, and Floor……. you don’t see that outfit very often! Yeah as others have said it was Tuomas on keys like a demon 😂, the brain behind Nightwish, a lyrical and musical genius!
Enjoyed your rundown and reaction, nice to see you back on some Nightwish, for the next one I think Yours is an empty hope Live from Wembley is a good one, a bit more Floor showing what she can do in that one! 🌹
Nice reaction. Always nice to see this modernized version of Tarja-era classic.
Floor’s outfit is from Royal Black Couture. Designer is from Austria. That outfit was copied with out a permission to a Hollywood movie few years ago. (Coming to America II)
At 2.00 Kai's turbo kicks in😮👍👍
If your interested to hear Floor go full growling check out her previous band Revamp doing a live performance of Disdain.
Aaahhh, TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN (aka.: the Keyboardguy, METALMOZARD...) IS NIGHTWISH, NIGHTWISH IS TUOMAS! The Alpha and the Omega. 😁 But it's really nice to have you back on the Ghost River. Enjoy the ride 😄 Greetings from Germany and EMPPU RULES 🤘😎 alex 🤗
OHHH... You are soo good at discovering the meaning of the songs... Smart smart girl!!! You will looove Bless the child live at Wachem 2013 and Ghetsemane live in Buenos aires 2018 but also 7 days to the wolves live at Wembley 2015 and Weak Fantasy... live in Tampere 2015.... Hugs from Eastern Europe!!!!
Kai "machine-gun" Hahto slaying the drums, as usual.
Some say metronome factories use him to calibrate their products.....
Your good reaction brought me to your channel. I decided to subscribed ;)
Hi Koality ... Would you be kind enough to check out 4th Impact their 1st audition on X Factor UK(2015) singing "Bang bang(Jessie J hit)" It's 192 Million Views & No.1 most Viewed on X Factor History.

Go Kai go!!! 🤘🔥The keyboardist is Tuomas Holopainen, founder and main composer of Nightwish. He is sometimes called Metal Mozart, and it's pretty easy to see why. He is a big fan of Disney (like me, well the old Disney, not the new, woke version), and is referring to himself as an ocean soul, if I understand correctly. He seems to be somewhat of an introvert (also like me), and I can't help it, I get a warm, safe feeling when he smiles, and I look into his eyes.
Beautiful video!❤
I didn't even know about this one. Damn, she slays every single song she tries.
great reaction, love you🥰
Heavy Metal was never a boring Music
I'm gonna be totally crass and say Floor is absolutely gorgeous in whatever she decides wear.
Hey beautyfull ladie!!! Good reaction!!! Thanks. Greettings from Argentina
My favourite Nightwish song 😍😃
Thx. It's lovely to hanging out with you.
the light and dark that this song has and the very cool notes and the fire i love the warrior outfits
Thanks Koality! This is a hard song to dissect, but you did a great job. Much love little sister 🤗
Great reaction! Floor has her outfits custom made. I believe this outfit and the ones for the Human Nature tour were made by Royal Black Couture and Corsetry in Vienna using a steampunk aesthetic.
Oh wow, yessss! I love that. Makes total sense because she always looks incredible.
Also being 6" 1" I am guessing it's hard to buy off the rack.
I will add that Floor can do some serious death metal growls. Tuomas is not a big fan so only one Nightwish song does she get to use it. Yours is an Empty Hope live from Wembley is my favorite performance although Mexico City is pretty good. Floor did alot more growling in her previous band ReVamp. Checkout Disdain live from Graspop and Wild Card live from Bloodstock.
I've been observing your reactions recently and you know what? I like them very much. Don't worry about the fact that you keep looking for Floor's outfit, I can't take my eyes off her - and my ears too...
Fun reaction. Thanks, Jenna!
Floor's outfit is custom made by Royal Black Couture, Vienna Austria.....
Hi Jenna, greetings from UK
Another wonderful reaction, thank you 😉
I used to be confused about this song until someone explained about the devil and the mermaid 😂
If you would like a siren AND growly Floor in the same song, Marko singing and an iconic guitar riff, then may I most humbly suggest the song "Yours Is An Empty Hope" from the Wembley Arena concert? A 30 second excerpt from the song also appeared on an episode of 'The Simpsons' 😁
The key board guy is Metal Mozart he compose most of it and Emppu does his hown solos., that fits in. Tuomas Holopainen is his name, the Mozart guy.
Almost forgto to mention your lovely reactons they are so nice and soon you are a metal monster and have the same outfit as Floor. ;)
Yes, she's a Valkyrie siren!
Another great duo between Floor and Marco is "Your's is an empty hope"
I would have waves instead of fire but its so powerful and they all amazing as always. love your reaction.
Love your passion for and breakdowns of your Nightwish experiences Jenna👍👍
They were super fortunate to be blessed with both Jukka and Kai…two phenomenal drummers who melded so perfectly with this phenomenal band.
Kai in Beast Mode on the drum kit ..again👍in this one🤘🤘
If the song is called Devil and the deep dark ocean, then it's not really hard to figure out that Marco is probably the devil. And since you've correctly recognized mermaid vibes, it's also not hard to guess in connection with the ocean in the title that Floor is the mermaid here.
The devil falls in love with the siren, but she doesn't like him at all. That's the short version.
Yeah, can we all be a little bit impressed how Floor remembers all the lyrics! Always bearing in mind that English isn’t her first language.
I've missed your Nightwish reactions and haven't watched any of their works since your previous one. Ive been so totally wrapped up in The Warning lately. Thanks for bringing me back. You're excellent as always. I'm sure you could totally rock that outfit. You should track it down and wear it for all your Nightwish reactions. BTW the Root Bear and milk was good too. Maybe I'll toast this reaction with one tonight.
If you want more floor and Marco and awesome outfit of this concert, try Slaying the Dreamer.
If you liked her outfits. *Dolls Kill and Kill Star* have a good range of Gothic clothing.
Plus my partner loves shopping at *The Gothic Shop uk* (She costs me a small fortune. lol) but they're based in the UK. And I don't know if they ship elsewhere.
I suppose they do, but I've never checked.
Another band from Finland. This song is special. it's symphonic metal.
Wintersun - Sons Of Winter And Stars (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios) REMASTER
But before you listen to the song, read the lyrics.
Because they're hard to hear. But they are interesting, even though they are difficult to interpret.
They have a Nightwish drummer in their band :D
And he gave fire here!
P.S. I can tell you from experience that this is not an easy song to sing and to play.
it's very long.
We done it at the rehearsal and sweated :)
We play covers of songs by different bands just as a hobby (nothing special.. yet)
And we play at local clubs.
Floor and simone the singer of Epica are best frnds simone is one of the best sopranos in Metall 🤘
It feels like you just saw a play or a kick-@ss musical
If you want to know or understand Tuomas Holopainen please checkout A lifetime of adventure. A song about Scrooge McDuck. Also Auri which both feature his wife Johanna plus Troy who also is from Nightwish. Thank you
Another recommendation :
Lorna Shore - to the hellfire
(black/death metal)
Very interesting experience ;)
There are only 2 songs you need to know a bit about before hand to understand. And you don’t need to research really deeply as some suggest. Just knowing the premise behind the song and what it’s about is enough. Poet and pendulum. And Greatest show on earth. Read one paragraph description and that’ll be enough to get it.
Yes, these were the ones I was told to research! Good to know, thank you.
@@KoalityReactionsgreatest show on earth is my all time favourite song. Even if you research it, it will take listening to 4-5 times through before you catch all of the lyrics and compositional genius of it. Do Tampere version.
The keyboardist is Tuomas..He is a Nightwish!..without Him there will be no Marco no Floorish!..:)
Yes there would be - but they would be just as successful in other bands. Do you really think Marko and Floor wouldn't be great without nightwish ?
@@richardwest6358 ..off course They would,I'm just mean it in terms of Nightwish,what a great band they made together..:)
FL❤❤R
🤩👍💥💯🎼
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Beste Zangers 2019, Dutch TV show where Floor Jansen performing incredible songs. etc. Shallow could you make a reaction videos for these beautiful performances.
This song was created before Marko joined the band. The original recording features a male vocalist that in my opinion was very uninteresting. Floor may still be divisive to the elder fanbase, but Marko made a definite improvement.
Floor 🖤🤘
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘
React nightwish Last ride of the day at Tampere!
You missed it ??
:D
so you can do all the Nightwish songs one by one :DDD
Tuomas is such a mastermind. I hope they will do a album like before 2013... i dont like the newer ones so much. Just some tracks.
🤘🎸
❤ Floor Jansen
Because Christmas is coming : ua-cam.com/video/HPdHkHslFIU/v-deo.html&start_radio=1, look till the end including the credits because there is a nice treat of the Sabaton drummers wife.
I have no doubt that Floor is the greatest singer of all time. Closely followed by Amy Lee and Sharon Den Adel. I mean Nightwish are on another level.
You can love the outfit but you can't have it. Royal Black Couture promised never to make a copy.
In the original version this was unremarkable in performance, though the genius was obvious. This performance brought it up to my top 5 (joint 4 with Dead Boy's Poem from the same concert, which you will love).
This one is the Devil (Marco) trying to seduce the Mermaid to his watery realm but she's not up for that at all.
If you liked the vocal gymnastics here, try Slaying the Dreamer from this, the best Nightwish concert I have (33 now). The pyrotechnics Floor and Marco display are phenomenal.
honestly, don't research. I think it's much nicer to listen to a song and then think about it then vice versa.
Waaaay too early for Poet & the Pendulum. Do 20 others first. Finish the Wacken 13 live show 😁
I think if you had an awesome jar for every time you say awesome you would probably have enough money at the end of a year
for a nice vacation. Lastly your right her voice is awesome. If Dimash is an alien Floor is the female alien.
there is a workaround - listen to the songs you have already reacted to)
Maby you like check out epica have fun
You Cute
And Funny!
i hate people who dont watch the videos first and comment later,thats why i dont sbscribe to your channel or anyone who doesnt watch first and comment later,just like me there are more people who think the same.
That’s not a reaction channel then! You’re in the wrong place. 😜
Tarja sings it better.
tarja sings everything worse. Actually, awful and ten times worse.
@@tsiouparoglou4493 Not this song.
🇬🇧 Norfolk reports for duty great song and songwriter ,hats of to the lighting guys on this show 😊
