We are still doing our NIGHTWISH WEDNESDAYS everyone! We will only be posting 1 per wednesday though instead of two. Hopefully once work slows down we can get some Nightwish Livestreams going again. thanks for all your support! Much Love!
Nightwish is a family and also lifetime journey to humanity 🙏🏻❤️ Greatest liveband ever. They have a healing effect with their music and presence. Greets from Finland 🤘🇫🇮
WOWZERS! What a wonderful way to start our day, y'all are seriously the type of people we've been seeking to connect with, even if it's a technological connection it's still just as REEL & deep & we can say this with certainty cuz each time we record a vid it literally feels like we're chillin with our tribe (yall) in that very moment & then again in the premiere & then again in the comments, each time IS the present time for us & oh what a gift this is for us, truly is so much more rewarding than we could've ever imagined & that's thanks to yall & the incredible music/art that is bringing us all together! Thank you all for such kind words & incredible encouragement, we hope to see each one of you again for Nightwish Wednesday this week, either in the premieres or after in the comments, we'll be looking forward to it! Much love to all!
The scary part is, after you've gone down the Nightwish rabbit hole you will discover all the 'side holes' for each of the band members' individual side projects that are INCREDIBLE in themselves! Floor has been doing incredible covers during the lockdown in her YT channel that you will want to check out, along with her appearance on a dutch TV show in 2019 "Beste Zangers" where ALL of her performances are exceptional. I suggest her rendition of Gaga's "Shallow" (otherworldly!) and her duet with a dutch opera/musical performer, Henk Poort (the original Phantom in the dutch production, and one of Floor's childhood idols), with "The Phantom of the Opera" (this performance broke the internet when it hit YT!!!)
Swedish NW army reporting for duty. You enjoy the band. You want to know what happened? You've had multiple Floorgasm. You are officially members of the Nightwish Army. Welcome. I have a feeling this will be one hell of a ride.
Where much music (metal or other) can tend to be formulatic (guitar riffs and drum solos) Nightwish is anything but. Everyone does what is needed without having to be the “star”. Floor may be the front person and perceived as the star but she totally realizes and appreciates that it is the presence of all of them performing together at the very highest level that creates the Nightwish vibe and excellence. The juxtaposition of her insane range and presence and this bands hard hitting insane talent is incredible Absolutely kickass.
You just made me watch the whole 42 mins of your reaction to a 5 min song and my morning coffee (6am in Germany) So, good job, guys :-) A few days ago I almost got tired of looking for new Nightwish and Floor Jansen reactors because of the boring and somehow uninspired content coming out lately. And than you come around the corner and reignite my passion again. Keep doing what you do and how you do it and don't listen to any trolls who may come up telling you how to do a decent reaction. #LOTD: "A writer by a fire imagined all of Gaia took a journey into a child-man's heart" Since the lyrics are inspired by the book "The Snowman" by Raymond Briggs, I believe it is all about human imagination, which most of it gets lost after a child is grown up. Or can you really imagine a snowman flying you to Santa Claus? A child does that easily :-)
You just made me read one of if not the best comments we have had lately. Thank you for being someone that isn’t afraid to give compliments to someone else. That really means a lot to us to hear that. It’s somewhat still surprising to us how many people find that positivity and just plain being nice and respectful to one another to be their antagonist in life: almost like if the compliment someone then that will take away from their status or something lol we don’t cross many bridges so we don’t see many trolls but when we do they are the extra dummy dum dum trolly trolls that actually make no sense, so we definitely don’t feed them. Lol I’m actually in awe of how you interpreted those lyrics. That is awesome I had no idea they were based on an actual book. And hearing your version and feeling your truth actually make me know for certain that #LOTD is working how we hoped it would. Thank you for taking the time to share with us. Good morning By the way it is 3am here, we are still in the studio recording and answering comments - have a great day and make it count! Much Love!
@@TheNEWReel I still want to believe that most of the people have that positivity, you mentioned. Unfortunately the few others are always much louder so they appear many more than they actually are. And btw: Chad is pronouncing "Wacken" very good. In fact better then most other americans I heard trying it 🤘😎
@@TheNEWReel Hi. If you like NW, you probably like Ayreon too. It's a one man and guest musicians project by Arjen Anthony Lucassen, an 'oldfashioned' Dutch composer, lyricist, musician, producer and just a very nice guy and his befriended musicians and singers from all over the world. And not the least btw. Marco, Troy and Floor of NW also frequently participate in his projects. Check it out sometime: ua-cam.com/video/oFuMKdrzPqU/v-deo.html (Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down)
Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! This is our Valkyrie Goddess for you. And you guys witnessed first hand a Dutch Windmill, not head banging, (she's Dutch after all) and you felt it 😁, and after that Floor hit's you operatic "Cruise Missile" 🤘😎🤘. Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist and songwriter of Nightwish) is the main composer for Nightwish. Take Gabriel's list as a guide to your journey. We hope, that there is more coming. 🤘😎🤘.
Thank so much for sharing my favorite band with the world. Hey just so you know this song is from their movie Imaginarium. (SO IT IS FROM A MOVIE) The movie has all there music ands very good. It’s like Tim Burton’s Nightmare before Christmas meets The Cell.
As I'm not a native english speaker, my first Nightwish listens were focused on admiring Floor's voice, band's tight playing, audience which completely enjoys themselves and technical engineering of it all (lights, pyro, sound mix...). I haven't understood the lyrics until after several sessions, so only few jumped at me, but one crushed me like a bug. It isn't from this song, but "1000 pages of erased text" is my favorite. It'll be fun seeing you hear it when time comes.
About a year ago, I stumbled across Nightwish through a reaction video. Like you guys, first song was Ghost Love Score. Storytime quickly followed. These songs are great but just wait. It gets way better, IMO. Have fun with it!
You mentioned your first concert was Metallica. Well Tuomas (the keyboard player) was a foreign exchange student in the US when he was in high school and while here he attended a Metallica concert, and that's what inspired him to start Nightwish. He even leaves the occasional Metallica easter egg in a song here and there (the most notable in The Greatest Show on Earth)
You have a very different interpretation of this song than me... that's so nice how music can mean different things for each person. For me, it's an ode to the poet, who is the journey, the destination, the soaring kite, praising Imagination (Imaginaerum), the dream emporium. The one that's able to grab a child man's heart and take it to a brand new Earth that he made inside a snowflake on his palm... this song is absolutely AMAZING!
That is awesome! WE LOVE IT! This is exactly what our “bar of the Day” is all about. People experience music different depending on all sorts of things like conditioning, beliefs, morals, societal location, the skys the limit and when those variables are added you can get some really interesting interpretations as long as they are willing to share! Thank you for sharing! Much Love!
Said it before.... I'll say it again.... your reactions are SO refreshing and authentic!!!! Cannot WAIT until you do Romanticide and Song of Myself from this concert!!!! It's going to be FUN!!!!
First of all, you are both crazy and i love this. I am a 65 years old guy from germany und my english is not so good. I love your statement about music, never mind witch genre, witch country or who sings, that`s it what we all love, music.. I am a big fan from Nightwish since the first second. I see this concert in Wacken 2013 and next time i see Nightwish on the Decades Tour 2018 in Oberhausen Arena. I never see a Band so perfect but also emotinal on stage like Nightwish and i see many Bands on stage. Thank you for your reaction and welcome in the world of Nightwish.🥰
hello again The NEW Reel. Nightwish army air force from Persia (Isfahan province) division reporting for duty. I'm happy to see you follow the general plans. the first song on your channel is secured. attacking the like button to secure this one. nice reaction have a nice day and enjoy the ride.
#LOTD The one line that most captures me is "I am the story that will read you real." It seems to me that one of the many themes running throughout Tuomas' work (more than just this composition) is the idea that people, both individually and collectively, create the universe we live in through the stories we tell. In a gross sense, if we tell the story that the universe is a hateful dangerous place, our universe will be hateful and dangerous. If we tell the story that the universe is full of love and wonder, our universe will be very different. This idea is highlighted again with the words "The core of life is just a limitless chest of tales." It is our stories that define us both as individual people and as societies.
NASA (Nightwish Army Scottish Allegiance) …… You have entered the Rabbit Hole! …… your enjoyment of the guys and Floor already have you enlisted into the Nightwish Army!! ………. side note, Floor can sing anything and in 8, yes 8 different languages …….. she is a one off and we are so happy to have her as our Valkyrie Goddess !!! Greetings from Scotland
So Toumas (keyboard player and composer for their songs) didn’t like metal when he was a kid. He was living in the US as an exchange student and his host family took him to see Metallica and GnR. After seeing Metallica he changed his mind! Now we have Nightwish, where he blended his classical training and metal. Thank goodness for that family!!
Southern California division of Nightwish Army checking in. There’s always room at the camp for new recruits. The best part is that you can enlist yourself whenever you want.
You'll come to find, as everyone else is resonating in the comments below, that NW don't have any bad songs! This is one of several that definitely has a bright, uplifting vibe. Storytime never fails to fill me with hope and optimism when that chorale line kicks in. Seeing the enthusiasm and joy that the crowd is experiencing is captivating! It's a wonderful counterpart to the flood of negativity we're bombarded with from all directions these days. Looking forward to continuing the journey with you guys...
Always good to see a married couple actually having fun together and still in love and not afraid to show it. Canadian arm of the Nightwish Army reporting in.
#LOTD "I am the EMPTY CRIB of Peter Pan". I love that image of after Peter Pan took Wendy and his brothers to FLY to Neverland, thus leaving empty beds and an empty crib in the room!!! A crib abandoned for the most epic imaginative journey!!!
When you get to Poet, you do NEED to do some research. It will help you understand the emotions of the song and also, the actions of the band members towards each other, during the song. Without giving anything away, it is an extremely difficult for Tuomas and what may appear flippant or goofy actions during the song are his band mates giving him support!! Bring your tissues!
Music brings people together. Even in this time with the pandemic...You both are already part of the Nightwish army..Welcome...She is our dutch queen with her generals next to her on stage in front of them their Nightwish army... "Poet and the pendulum", Dead boys poem", Greatest show on earth"..
You will see and meet lots of fanbases in the world, however, you will never meet a fanbase more loyal than the Nightwish Army! You listen to music Gods enough, you can't help but be in awe of them!
Greetings from Finland & thanks for this reaction and the upcoming Nightwish Wednesdays, which is why I also subscribed. One Nightwish Wednesday a week will take over two years to react to all of their great songs, but it will be time well spent. Even if you take just the songs from their official live performances & music videos on YT, you'll be looking at one year of Nightwish Wednesdays.
The song is an homage to the stories and fairly tales that fired our imaginations as children, and how as adults we could use some of that child-like wonder. The “I am” statements refer to the story, the tale, the wonder inspired by them within ourselves. FYI, re: interpretation of the lyrics, Nightwish are a very science-y band and their lyrics are sometimes quite critical of organized religion as you’ll eventually find, or you can hear Tuomas and Troy explaining here: ua-cam.com/video/ZJuWLkTwtFs/v-deo.html. Looking forward to the next Nightwish Wednesday!
Yes we picked up on the “almost sarcasm” of the child line in the beginning. That is what gave me the impression of the “story” of baby Jesus. We are spiritual people but do not follow the typical organized religions. And we love open minded people that will allow other to be themselves without the judgments and push of views onto them. Thank you for such an awesome comment! Much love!
@@TheNEWReel Both Tuomas and Floor wanted to be bilogists when they were younger. While they do not dismiss religion, much of their focus is on the natural world, of which spirituality is a part. Gaia is a concept of Earth as one natural living system and not, perse, a religious reference, although it does have origin in Greek mythology. Basically, I'm saying, Nightwish songs are about as big of concepts as you can imagine. The Greatest Show on Earth will lay this out for you!!! Peace out and Cheers from Canada!!
Second song with you and love your reactions. To make it even more difficult "listen to Floor Jansen in de Beste Zangers" (Dutch TV show) where she is singing Operette in German, Spanisch, in Dutch and Shallow and so on. Through that show (2019) I met Floor (yep sorry 😊 didn't know her before) and gave Nightwish a chance. I thought I didn't love Metal, but didn't know that there where different genres. I'm hooked, I'm hooked, I'm hooked. Did I say I'm hooked? Yes I am, can't and won't do without Nightwish anymore. Greetings from The Netherlands 🧡
This song was originally performed by second singer, Annette, on the album who was okay in the studio but only Floor does them justice live. Only with the band for ten months at this concert and considered by many to be one of Nightwish's best. 15 songs and not a bum note.
This is a fun channel. Excellent reactions and commentary. There is one thing that you can always expect from Nightwish and that is......the unexpected.😀🤘
My friends: Drink beer - live forever! Cheers!!! NIGHTWISH RULLES! Everybody knows that, of course! Metal queen Floor & The Best Symphonic metal band ever give us Floorgasms, goosbumps and pleasure of their music! Nice reaction and... I'll follow you! Best wishes from Bulgaria-Europe!
What a great reaction! Please, now react to Ever Dream, still at Wacken! You're in for a NICE SURPRISE! And greetings from Brazil! Brazilian NW army reports!
Must admit, had teary eyes seeing how much you guys enjoyed this and have now discovered Nightwish. They just bring sooo much positive energy to one's life, with that uplifting feeling. Will now follow your deep dive into this rabbit hole, where I fell long, long time ago and never surfaced again. Subscribed.

She tried out for Nightwish in 2007, but was considered to young at the time. However when Anette (Nightwishs second female lead singer) was sick in Denver (2012) she did help the band out, since she already was there singing for Kamelot. I recommend: 1. Digital World 2. Helix Epica: 1. Sancta Terra (feat Floor Jansen) Live Retrospect show Within Temptation is another Dutch symphony band. 1. Paradise - ft Tarja (Tarja was Nightwishs first female lead singer) 2. Supernova 3. Shot in the Dark 4. Supernova And why not check out Ayreon - The Dutch "metal"/prog musical... 1.

Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God (Official Live Video) (Male growl) RAGE OF LIGHT - Twilight Of The Thunder God (AMON AMARTH COVER) (Female growl & singing) Sabaton - Twilight Of The Thunder God (Sabaton cover) (Male singing) As for Nightwish, continue with Gabriels list. Nightwish is such a great band! As for your filmatic feelings... Tuomas Holopainen keyboardist and the one writing almost all of the music for Nightwish, has stated that he often is inspired by film music and said that his biggest music inspirations are Greek composer Vangelis and German composer Hans Zimmer.
Welcome to your Nightwish journey, you will never find 2 songs that are the same, and most all written by Tuomas (like 95%), he is the keyboardist, songwriter, composer and founder. It all starts in his head, and he is a musical genius. You will find this band will never bore you. Just when you think you know what they will do, they will surprise you, but in a good way. You will find ever song is a new journey. Nice reaction. What touched me was her voice, but they lyrics were brilliant. He is deep, Tuomas, he likes for people to interpret for themselves, but this song is all about for me, we lose our childlike imaginations, but we shouldn't, we should embrace them.
Andres, sorry it took us so long to reply, when it comes to Nightwish commentaries we tend to get A TON of comments! lol Thank you soooo much for the kind words they definitley mean a lot to us and dont go un noticed. You actually ROCK! Much Love to you!
Brian did someone call your dog ugly or something lol Seriously though to each his own, although when you are watching a "Reaction" and "Commentary" channel I'm not sure how anything said could be considered as nonsense when it is their "Reaction" and "Comments" on what they just watched. Its not as if this is a documentary and we are spouting a bunch of NONSENSE that we are trying to pass off as fact lol either way thanks for the view and comment at least you watched some and then gave your opinion, some people just judge off of looks and what not. Hope you have a better day and much love to ya!
"... Imaginarium, a dream emporium..." because, what genius writes such words into song lyrics? 😝💜 Loved your reaction guys! Checked out the whole thing, liked and subscribed! NW and Symphonic Metal rules! NW Army Namibia checking in 🌌⛲⚔️🇳🇦🤘🏻
Loving your dive! Here for it! Nightwish will be in 3 US cities in May of 2022. NYC, Lowell, Mass (a bit outside of Boston), and 2 shows in Los Angeles! Short US leg this time. But, there will be more in the future 🤘🏻😊
I'm so glad that you are using the lyric videos. I see that you guys can see the importance of, and realize the impact of the lyrics to Nightwish's experiences. :) Thanks you two. :)
Nightwish " I want my tears back" but make sure it's the Buenos Aires show! The crowd sings to the band in the beginning for about a minute or so. Not to mention floor does her little jig all around that stage ❤️ Another great one is " greatest show on Earth" but make sure this one is from their "Tempe show". It's outdoors and has fireworks and everything. Especially if you don't know what's coming 😉 it's about the fictitious theory of evolution, but the production of this song is absolutely amazing!!!
Yes, you pronounced Wacken perfectly 🤓and and a little 6 foot angel is a good one😂 Wacken is a tiny sleepy agricultural village in northern Germany, housing cattles most time of the year (hence the flaming bull skull) But every summer the fields near Wacken are transformed into a town for the biggest metal festival in the world There is even a pipeline in the ground for the consumption of hundreds of thousands liters of German beer. 82000 people were attending this show.
Floor’s operatic singing at 20:14 was originally a backing track when originally written for Annette, who does not posses that range. After a time getting comfortable with the songs, Floor suggested singing it herself. The rest is history.
Nightwish Army - Tennessee Volunteer Division glad to be in the house for your second round of Floorgasms. 😉I'm a 62 year old dude that was never much into metal, for several reasons other than the hits but Nightwish have eliminated all of those reasons and totally won me over. Loving your reactions and your whole vibe guys! A big challenge for you two is going to be only doing NW one day of the week. LOL
I think you both are a very nice couple and the way you interpret the music is very refreshing. That's the beauty of Nightwish, everyone can let their own feelings loose on it, there is no right or wrong. I'm going with you on this Nightwish journey, i like and sub, greetings from the Netherlands🤘🏽🇳🇱 P.S And my favorite bit of text from Storytime is " Imaginarium, a dream emporium! Caress the Tales And they will dream you real A storyteller's game Lips that intoxicate The core of all life Is a limitless chest of tales...😊
NW army, South Africa division here. You guys must remember that being in the nightwish army is when 95% if not all soldiers consider nightwish their favorite band in history and perhaps the best of all time. You have got to be in it with your entire heart. We welcome all, because we know the rest is inevitable. Thanks for the new reaction. Keep growing with NW and you will never look back.
the perfect union of musical genres in the songs of Nightwish is due to the genius of Tuomas Holopainen, who as well as a musician is also a poet, that's why sometimes the lyrics of the songs can be a little cryptic, and in addition to composing the songs he is also the keyboardist of the band and the organizer of their concerts. the performance of "ghost love score" you reacted last time is one of the three best performances of the nightwish band, together with "the poet and the pendulum" from 2015 concert at the london wembley arena and "the greatest show on earth" from 2015 concert in tampere - finland (actually there is a fourth best performance: "dead boy's poem" from the 2018 concert in buenos aires).
Welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole! And if you like different song types... This is the Band for you! Not that uncommon that reactors name the latest song they listen to "their new favourite" Nightwish song...
Wow. love your enthusiasm guys! Your analysis and dissection of the lyrics and their meaning were spot on. Nightwish..there are few words. Floor is a six foot one inch powerhouse with a voice like "liquid gold". Her vocal gymnastics are incredible. Floor is classically trained and also a vocal coach. You can catch her on a show called Beste Zangers. She performs Phantom of the Opera with Henk Port and you need to see her perform Euphoria on the same show. Nightwish are blessed with fantastic instrumentalists and creative individuals. Their music is epic with many layers. Their live shows especially Wacken in 2013 are studio quality! Stay safe and Best wishes from the UK.
For 20 years I thought music is not for me anymore. Then I found Nightwish again, and I knew: There will be tomorrow. You've found a treasure, comrades
yeah anette was second singer, fun fact is that they choose second singer sweden or canada,sweden win and they choose anette. this song is power house for sure. i cannot wait when you hear basist vocalist marko hietala song and then troy amazing pipes,flutes and many more,what a journey you have about this band ahead :) thanx to great reaction and have awesome weekend there.
Oh couple terms you guys will hear. Floorgasim= The goosebumps Floor gives you. And windmill= floors headbanging. Love you guys. Keep it up and every new song you hear will be your new favorite. There is no bad song. That Nightwing does.
Nightwish Army Germany checking in. Storytime is oozing positive energy from second one on....if you need somehting to cheer up - watch this video. When our Queen starts the Windmill you know everything will be good. After you have reacted now to this poppy-powerhouse of a song....time for something softer....We strongly recommend Everdream from Wacken. And you are completely right. Our Valkyrie Queen is the Center of Gravity on the Stage...but the complete Band is exceptionally good. You will find out during your dive down the Rabbit Hole.... See you on the next Reaction to our favorite Finnish Band. All Hail the Queen !
You guys crack me up 🤣 love these reactions you're putting out, thank you for dedicating a day to this incredible band, you will find every emotion scattered through the music, I'm looking forward to watching your journey through this particular rabbit hole 💜🤟
Can't wait for when you get to Romanticide from this concert!!!! Which I think you should do next😆 I think your puppy would love it😜😍 Also Yours is an Empty Hope from Wembley!! Have fun guys I did watching!
Nightwish Army Pennsylvania division reporting in and I must say I love ya two now that's what a great reaction looks like. the only requirement is fall in love with them then your in the Army now, Welcome . Floor had only been with the band for 10 months at this show. I believe ya had a FLOORGASM
Hi! I like your last 2 Nightwish reaction videos! It's a big step from Hip Hop to Symphonic Metal but it's so cool because you like it! Floor is an unbelivible singer and shs's the best female singer i've ever seen! Because many ask she's 6.1 feet tall, she's Dutch, married with the drummer of Sabaton Hannes van Dahl and they become thier first doughter Freja in 2016. She started in 2012 singing for Nightwish because the 2nd singer Anette get ill on their US tour. So NW asked Floor if she will sing for them, there is a video about this conzert when Anette was ill and what they did than what's called "the Denver debacle" and another video about Floor what's called "please lern the setlist in 48 houres". (!!!) You can look it by yourself if you have time or if you are interested to see it one time. Every song is different, from a ballad for your heart to really hard metal style songs! I don't know if you go on Gabriels list, if than i belive the next song is "Romanticide" and this is one of their harder songs! But i like it very much! I like read the comments from reaction videos, there write people from around the world and there are many really nice cool people who love Nightwish as much as i did, some more! I hear them since 1997 and i'm really a big fan, "Angels fall first" was the first song i hear and i was impressed by Tarjas voice, the first singer and one of the founder of NW. In the year 1998 i'd buy my first NW album what's also called Angels fall first. I also like the second NW singer Anette and there are many really good songs from her NW era, "The poet and the pendulum" or "Song of myself" as example and much more, "Storytime" what i really like is also original with Anette but i don't like her live. I will not write bad things about her, i wish her only the best but she was live not really good. If you will do an lovely song next than you could do "Sleeping Sun" from Tampere 2015 or "Ever dream" from Wacken '13, another song in the way like this one you did today than "Nemo" or "Dark chest of wonders" from the same Wacken '13 conzert but if you 2 would hear an really hard song than do "Romanticide" or "Song of myself" also from Wacken '13. I'm looking forward for your next NW reaction and i wish you 2 an wonderful week! Greetings and my best wishes to you from 🇪🇺Vienna🇦🇹! Keep care! (i'm sorry for some mistakes, my english isn't the best but i get better)
Yup...and that's just what the US music and recording industry wants...their "no more than 3 minute song, devoid of any instrument solo, Cookie Monster vocal style, Mumble Crap," industrial formula sht has been forced upon music fans here for better than two decades. I'm old enough to remember goin to a couple of great live shows a week within driving distance. It's all but killed touring here. There's talent out there that's not being allowed to foster because bands and artists are kicked out the door in leu of the next "flavor of the week." It's destroyed the band's and artist's "want" to better themselves at their craft. Not playing before 20-30 thousand fans every other night that're booing them offstage because their music and playing is crap will do that. I know that I'm generalizing here, but young fans and kids deserve better for the hard-earned money that they're spending. It's been going on for so long, they don't know any different. They should be PISSED, and they've got every right to be...it's bullsht.
As soon as Nightwish is your favorite band you are a part of the NW army.. and yes you are already there..lol.. the NW Army is about Love, and enjoying Tuomas brilliant mind along with the fantactic music all the guys perfom together... no NW member is not super talented, i love them all, still Tuomas is the main engine, as he write 99% of the music and Lyrics, its hes music the other guys perform basicly, and they do it damn good, .. and the day Floor was introduced on stage as new front singer, yes a angel did land, our new queen, she is the main focus on stage surely..well we are all addicted..lol.. This song is a celebration to all the writers Toumas love, and also a message to tell that every man, can fill the empthy crib of Peter Pan.. we all can create something.. Btw Tuomas is a huge Disney fan, he even made a solo album called the adventures of Scroodge McDuck, you should check that out to someday:) else Tuomas is also really dedicated to nature, and the universe.. among other stuff.. Tuomas got the nickname Metal Mozart, and yes guess why.) Ive been a NW fan since the release of the album once in 2004, and they have been my favorite band ever since..' Now i was thinking what song would be good to you to react to next, and my thought is that you should get a little more Marko, and see more of hes impact on the band, you can do so with this one Devil and the deep dark ocean..live in Buenos Aires.. there is a lot of good stuff to pick from, but this is some more Marko, and he is a huge impact to in many songs.. ua-cam.com/video/t26r_vAYQ0Q/v-deo.html
Floor, as you've no doubt been told, is the 3rd lead vocalist Nightwish has had. all the songs you will be seeing performed at Wacken were originally recorded by one of the previous 2 singers. Tuomas writes to the talents of whomever the current singer is. they've always hired singers who had the same vocal range. all 3 have been sopranos. Floor has, in most people's opinion, the talents of both Tarja and Annette. each member of the band adds their own contributions during the rehearsals leading into recording, but, it all originates with Tuomas's vision of the album. the songs and the stories come from him.
We are still doing our NIGHTWISH WEDNESDAYS everyone! We will only be posting 1 per wednesday though instead of two. Hopefully once work slows down we can get some Nightwish Livestreams going again. thanks for all your support! Much Love!
Nightwish is a family and also lifetime journey to humanity 🙏🏻❤️ Greatest liveband ever. They have a healing effect with their music and presence. Greets from Finland 🤘🇫🇮
Watched a ton of Nightwish reactions the last years and sometimes you walk into a fun and unique couple like you two! Let's keep them coming guys.
I can't imagine a couple more deserving than these 2 for having Nightwish introduced into their lives.
what do you do late at night when youre stoned on your pc? you watch nightwish or rammstein reactions. hahaha never gets old :P
completely agree. these guys are fun to watch.
WOWZERS! What a wonderful way to start our day, y'all are seriously the type of people we've been seeking to connect with, even if it's a technological connection it's still just as REEL & deep & we can say this with certainty cuz each time we record a vid it literally feels like we're chillin with our tribe (yall) in that very moment & then again in the premiere & then again in the comments, each time IS the present time for us & oh what a gift this is for us, truly is so much more rewarding than we could've ever imagined & that's thanks to yall & the incredible music/art that is bringing us all together! Thank you all for such kind words & incredible encouragement, we hope to see each one of you again for Nightwish Wednesday this week, either in the premieres or after in the comments, we'll be looking forward to it! Much love to all!
The scary part is, after you've gone down the Nightwish rabbit hole you will discover all the 'side holes' for each of the band members' individual side projects that are INCREDIBLE in themselves!
Floor has been doing incredible covers during the lockdown in her YT channel that you will want to check out, along with her appearance on a dutch TV show in 2019 "Beste Zangers" where ALL of her performances are exceptional. I suggest her rendition of Gaga's "Shallow" (otherworldly!) and her duet with a dutch opera/musical performer, Henk Poort (the original Phantom in the dutch production, and one of Floor's childhood idols), with "The Phantom of the Opera" (this performance broke the internet when it hit YT!!!)
Swedish NW army reporting for duty.
You enjoy the band. You want to know what happened? You've had multiple Floorgasm.
You are officially members of the Nightwish Army.
Welcome. I have a feeling this will be one hell of a ride.
A 42:35 minute reaction to a 5:35 minute video. This means that we have to reserve almost 2 hours and 40 minutes for TGSOE. 👍😬
Where much music (metal or other) can tend to be formulatic (guitar riffs and drum solos) Nightwish is anything but. Everyone does what is needed without having to be the “star”. Floor may be the front person and perceived as the star but she totally realizes and appreciates that it is the presence of all of them performing together at the very highest level that creates the Nightwish vibe and excellence.
The juxtaposition of her insane range and presence and this bands hard hitting insane talent is incredible
Absolutely kickass.
Newer show - heavier song ?? Nightwish: "Devil and Deep Dark Ocean" -Buenos Aires live. Greetings from Finland!
Seconded.
This song is insane!!!!
Yes…this 👆🏻🤘🏻
Really fun watching you guys do this! Really looking forward to the rest of this journey!
You just made me watch the whole 42 mins of your reaction to a 5 min song and my morning coffee (6am in Germany) So, good job, guys :-)
A few days ago I almost got tired of looking for new Nightwish and Floor Jansen reactors because of the boring and somehow uninspired content coming out lately. And than you come around the corner and reignite my passion again.
Keep doing what you do and how you do it and don't listen to any trolls who may come up telling you how to do a decent reaction.
#LOTD: "A writer by a fire imagined all of Gaia took a journey into a child-man's heart"
Since the lyrics are inspired by the book "The Snowman" by Raymond Briggs, I believe it is all about human imagination, which most of it gets lost after a child is grown up. Or can you really imagine a snowman flying you to Santa Claus? A child does that easily :-)
You just made me read one of if not the best comments we have had lately. Thank you for being someone that isn’t afraid to give compliments to someone else. That really means a lot to us to hear that. It’s somewhat still surprising to us how many people find that positivity and just plain being nice and respectful to one another to be their antagonist in life: almost like if the compliment someone then that will take away from their status or something lol we don’t cross many bridges so we don’t see many trolls but when we do they are the extra dummy dum dum trolly trolls that actually make no sense, so we definitely don’t feed them. Lol I’m actually in awe of how you interpreted those lyrics. That is awesome I had no idea they were based on an actual book. And hearing your version and feeling your truth actually make me know for certain that #LOTD is working how we hoped it would. Thank you for taking the time to share with us. Good morning By the way it is 3am here, we are still in the studio recording and answering comments - have a great day and make it count!
Much Love!
@@TheNEWReel I still want to believe that most of the people have that positivity, you mentioned. Unfortunately the few others are always much louder so they appear many more than they actually are.
And btw: Chad is pronouncing "Wacken" very good. In fact better then most other americans I heard trying it 🤘😎
@@TheNEWReel Hi. If you like NW, you probably like Ayreon too. It's a one man and guest musicians project by Arjen Anthony Lucassen, an 'oldfashioned' Dutch composer, lyricist, musician, producer and just a very nice guy and his befriended musicians and singers from all over the world. And not the least btw. Marco, Troy and Floor of NW also frequently participate in his projects.
Check it out sometime: ua-cam.com/video/oFuMKdrzPqU/v-deo.html (Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down)
Nightwish army Atlanta división here🤙Welcome to the Nightwish army 🤘 keep on going down Gabriels list !!!
How mind blowing as it may sound right now, this is just Floor and the guys cruising along……
Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in !
This is our Valkyrie Goddess for you. And you guys witnessed first hand a Dutch Windmill, not head banging, (she's Dutch after all) and you felt it 😁, and after that Floor hit's you operatic "Cruise Missile" 🤘😎🤘.
Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist and songwriter of Nightwish) is the main composer for Nightwish.
Take Gabriel's list as a guide to your journey.
We hope, that there is more coming.
🤘😎🤘.
Thank so much for sharing my favorite band with the world. Hey just so you know this song is from their movie Imaginarium. (SO IT IS FROM A MOVIE) The movie has all there music ands very good. It’s like Tim Burton’s Nightmare before Christmas meets The Cell.
As I'm not a native english speaker, my first Nightwish listens were focused on admiring Floor's voice, band's tight playing, audience which completely enjoys themselves and technical engineering of it all (lights, pyro, sound mix...). I haven't understood the lyrics until after several sessions, so only few jumped at me, but one crushed me like a bug.
It isn't from this song, but "1000 pages of erased text" is my favorite. It'll be fun seeing you hear it when time comes.
THAT is an incredible line of writing in that song! It really hit me the first time I heard it as well.
About a year ago, I stumbled across Nightwish through a reaction video. Like you guys, first song was Ghost Love Score. Storytime quickly followed. These songs are great but just wait. It gets way better, IMO. Have fun with it!
You mentioned your first concert was Metallica. Well Tuomas (the keyboard player) was a foreign exchange student in the US when he was in high school and while here he attended a Metallica concert, and that's what inspired him to start Nightwish. He even leaves the occasional Metallica easter egg in a song here and there (the most notable in The Greatest Show on Earth)
You have a very different interpretation of this song than me... that's so nice how music can mean different things for each person. For me, it's an ode to the poet, who is the journey, the destination, the soaring kite, praising Imagination (Imaginaerum), the dream emporium. The one that's able to grab a child man's heart and take it to a brand new Earth that he made inside a snowflake on his palm... this song is absolutely AMAZING!
That is awesome! WE LOVE IT! This is exactly what our “bar of the Day” is all about. People experience music different depending on all sorts of things like conditioning, beliefs, morals, societal location, the skys the limit and when those variables are added you can get some really interesting interpretations as long as they are willing to share! Thank you for sharing! Much Love!
Said it before.... I'll say it again.... your reactions are SO refreshing and authentic!!!! Cannot WAIT until you do Romanticide and Song of Myself from this concert!!!! It's going to be FUN!!!!
THANK YOU!!! That really means a lot! We pride ourselves in being REEL! Thanks for the comment and we will see u on the next one! Much love!
Next Romanticide (Wacken 2013)
First of all, you are both crazy and i love this. I am a 65 years old guy from germany und my english is not so good. I love your statement about music, never mind witch genre, witch country or who sings, that`s it what we all love, music.. I am a big fan from Nightwish since the first second. I see this concert in Wacken 2013 and next time i see Nightwish on the Decades Tour 2018 in Oberhausen Arena. I never see a Band so perfect but also emotinal on stage like Nightwish and i see many Bands on stage. Thank you for your reaction and welcome in the world of Nightwish.🥰
hello again The NEW Reel. Nightwish army air force from Persia (Isfahan province) division reporting for duty. I'm happy to see you follow the general plans. the first song on your channel is secured. attacking the like button to secure this one. nice reaction have a nice day and enjoy the ride.
#LOTD The one line that most captures me is "I am the story that will read you real." It seems to me that one of the many themes running throughout Tuomas' work (more than just this composition) is the idea that people, both individually and collectively, create the universe we live in through the stories we tell. In a gross sense, if we tell the story that the universe is a hateful dangerous place, our universe will be hateful and dangerous. If we tell the story that the universe is full of love and wonder, our universe will be very different. This idea is highlighted again with the words "The core of life is just a limitless chest of tales." It is our stories that define us both as individual people and as societies.
NASA (Nightwish Army Scottish Allegiance) …… You have entered the Rabbit Hole! …… your enjoyment of the guys and Floor already have you enlisted into the Nightwish Army!! ………. side note, Floor can sing anything and in 8, yes 8 different languages …….. she is a one off and we are so happy to have her as our Valkyrie Goddess !!! Greetings from Scotland
So Toumas (keyboard player and composer for their songs) didn’t like metal when he was a kid. He was living in the US as an exchange student and his host family took him to see Metallica and GnR. After seeing Metallica he changed his mind! Now we have Nightwish, where he blended his classical training and metal. Thank goodness for that family!!
Southern California division of Nightwish Army checking in. There’s always room at the camp for new recruits. The best part is that you can enlist yourself whenever you want.
Thank you for this amazing live. Tahiti 03:26pm in lockdown.🤙 NWA S.P
You'll come to find, as everyone else is resonating in the comments below, that NW don't have any bad songs! This is one of several that definitely has a bright, uplifting vibe. Storytime never fails to fill me with hope and optimism when that chorale line kicks in. Seeing the enthusiasm and joy that the crowd is experiencing is captivating! It's a wonderful counterpart to the flood of negativity we're bombarded with from all directions these days.
Looking forward to continuing the journey with you guys...
'Last of the Wilds' sends happy vibes through me more so than any other song does.
Always good to see a married couple actually having fun together and still in love and not afraid to show it. Canadian arm of the Nightwish Army reporting in.
#LOTD "I am the EMPTY CRIB of Peter Pan". I love that image of after Peter Pan took Wendy and his brothers to FLY to Neverland, thus leaving empty beds and an empty crib in the room!!! A crib abandoned for the most epic imaginative journey!!!
When you get to Poet, you do NEED to do some research. It will help you understand the emotions of the song and also, the actions of the band members towards each other, during the song. Without giving anything away, it is an extremely difficult for Tuomas and what may appear flippant or goofy actions during the song are his band mates giving him support!! Bring your tissues!
Nightwish Army UK here. Great reaction guys! Enjoy your Nightwish journey. You're in for a memorable and enjoyable time👍❤😀
Tuomas, the keyboard player & leader of this band ( arranges & writes 95% of everything ) saw Metallica in concert leading him to this path!!!!
Music brings people together. Even in this time with the pandemic...You both are already part of the Nightwish army..Welcome...She is our dutch queen with her generals next to her on stage in front of them their Nightwish army...
"Poet and the pendulum", Dead boys poem", Greatest show on earth"..
Nightwish. Their joy is your joy is our joy.
No, our Queen Floor is not from earth. Nighwish Army Namibian division here. Welcome, and enjoy the ride..!
Keep following the Gabriel list. Nightwish army is here!!!
You will see and meet lots of fanbases in the world, however, you will never meet a fanbase more loyal than the Nightwish Army!
You listen to music Gods enough, you can't help but be in awe of them!
Greetings from Finland & thanks for this reaction and the upcoming Nightwish Wednesdays, which is why I also subscribed. One Nightwish Wednesday a week will take over two years to react to all of their great songs, but it will be time well spent. Even if you take just the songs from their official live performances & music videos on YT, you'll be looking at one year of Nightwish Wednesdays.
The song is an homage to the stories and fairly tales that fired our imaginations as children, and how as adults we could use some of that child-like wonder. The “I am” statements refer to the story, the tale, the wonder inspired by them within ourselves. FYI, re: interpretation of the lyrics, Nightwish are a very science-y band and their lyrics are sometimes quite critical of organized religion as you’ll eventually find, or you can hear Tuomas and Troy explaining here: ua-cam.com/video/ZJuWLkTwtFs/v-deo.html. Looking forward to the next Nightwish Wednesday!
Yes we picked up on the “almost sarcasm” of the child line in the beginning. That is what gave me the impression of the “story” of baby Jesus. We are spiritual people but do not follow the typical organized religions. And we love open minded people that will allow other to be themselves without the judgments and push of views onto them. Thank you for such an awesome comment! Much love!
@@TheNEWReel Both Tuomas and Floor wanted to be bilogists when they were younger. While they do not dismiss religion, much of their focus is on the natural world, of which spirituality is a part. Gaia is a concept of Earth as one natural living system and not, perse, a religious reference, although it does have origin in Greek mythology. Basically, I'm saying, Nightwish songs are about as big of concepts as you can imagine. The Greatest Show on Earth will lay this out for you!!! Peace out and Cheers from Canada!!
Second song with you and love your reactions. To make it even more difficult "listen to Floor Jansen in de Beste Zangers" (Dutch TV show) where she is singing Operette in German, Spanisch, in Dutch and Shallow and so on.
Through that show (2019) I met Floor (yep sorry 😊 didn't know her before) and gave Nightwish a chance. I thought I didn't love Metal, but didn't know that there where different genres.
I'm hooked, I'm hooked, I'm hooked. Did I say I'm hooked? Yes I am, can't and won't do without Nightwish anymore.
Greetings from The Netherlands 🧡
This song was originally performed by second singer, Annette, on the album who was okay in the studio but only Floor does them justice live. Only with the band for ten months at this concert and considered by many to be one of Nightwish's best. 15 songs and not a bum note.
This is a fun channel. Excellent reactions and commentary. There is one thing that you can always expect from Nightwish and that is......the unexpected.😀🤘
I think yall should react to Ever Dream next from Waken 2013, Floor has said Ever Dream is one of the hardest songs she has to sing.
My friends: Drink beer - live forever! Cheers!!! NIGHTWISH RULLES! Everybody knows that, of course! Metal queen Floor & The Best Symphonic metal band ever give us Floorgasms, goosbumps and pleasure of their music! Nice reaction and... I'll follow you! Best wishes from Bulgaria-Europe!
What a great reaction! Please, now react to Ever Dream, still at Wacken! You're in for a NICE SURPRISE!
And greetings from Brazil! Brazilian NW army reports!
Must admit, had teary eyes seeing how much you guys enjoyed this and have now discovered Nightwish. They just bring sooo much positive energy to one's life, with that uplifting feeling. Will now follow your deep dive into this rabbit hole, where I fell long, long time ago and never surfaced again. Subscribed.
I'm so jealous of you discovering this song! Love to follow you, keep going! 🤟 Part 3, will be here! 🇨🇦

You should also try Wintersun (Nightwishs new drummer is playing here and he is killing it):
1. Sons Of Winter And Stars (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios) REMASTER
Amaranthe... Female lead singer is Elize Ryd. She tried out for Nightwish in 2007, but was considered to young at the time. However when Anette (Nightwishs second female lead singer) was sick in Denver (2012) she did help the band out, since she already was there singing for Kamelot. I recommend:
1. Digital World
2. Helix
Epica:
1. Sancta Terra (feat Floor Jansen) Live Retrospect show
Within Temptation is another Dutch symphony band.
1. Paradise - ft Tarja (Tarja was Nightwishs first female lead singer)
2. Supernova
3. Shot in the Dark
4. Supernova
And why not check out Ayreon - The Dutch "metal"/prog musical...
1. The Day That The World Breaks Down - The Source (2017) (It is progressive, with a short "blink" to Iron Maiden...)
2. Valley Of The Queens (Ayreon Universe)
3. The Eye Of Ra (Universe)
Another cool song is Russian "ГРАЙ - В объятиях Мары (Official video)" (GRAI - In the arms of Mara)
Russian folk metall at its best...
Now last recommendation is a tripple...
Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God (Official Live Video) (Male growl)
RAGE OF LIGHT - Twilight Of The Thunder God (AMON AMARTH COVER) (Female growl & singing)
Sabaton - Twilight Of The Thunder God (Sabaton cover) (Male singing)
As for Nightwish, continue with Gabriels list. Nightwish is such a great band!
As for your filmatic feelings... Tuomas Holopainen keyboardist and the one writing almost all of the music for Nightwish, has stated that he often is inspired by film music and said that his biggest music inspirations are Greek composer Vangelis and German composer Hans Zimmer.
I have to add the animated story video of 'Night Witches' by Sabaton
You guys must check "learn the set list at 48 hours" and you learn alot this band! I have been fan since -97. Greetings from Finland!
Welcome to your Nightwish journey, you will never find 2 songs that are the same, and most all written by Tuomas (like 95%), he is the keyboardist, songwriter, composer and founder. It all starts in his head, and he is a musical genius. You will find this band will never bore you. Just when you think you know what they will do, they will surprise you, but in a good way. You will find ever song is a new journey. Nice reaction. What touched me was her voice, but they lyrics were brilliant. He is deep, Tuomas, he likes for people to interpret for themselves, but this song is all about for me, we lose our childlike imaginations, but we shouldn't, we should embrace them.
Central Florida Division NWA, checking in.
Finally!
A couple that know what they are talking about and feel it. Good job!
Really? Talk a lot of nonsense as far as I see it!
Andres, sorry it took us so long to reply, when it comes to Nightwish commentaries we tend to get A TON of comments! lol Thank you soooo much for the kind words they definitley mean a lot to us and dont go un noticed. You actually ROCK! Much Love to you!
Brian did someone call your dog ugly or something lol Seriously though to each his own, although when you are watching a "Reaction" and "Commentary" channel I'm not sure how anything said could be considered as nonsense when it is their "Reaction" and "Comments" on what they just watched. Its not as if this is a documentary and we are spouting a bunch of NONSENSE that we are trying to pass off as fact lol either way thanks for the view and comment at least you watched some and then gave your opinion, some people just judge off of looks and what not. Hope you have a better day and much love to ya!
"... Imaginarium, a dream emporium..." because, what genius writes such words into song lyrics? 😝💜
Loved your reaction guys! Checked out the whole thing, liked and subscribed!
NW and Symphonic Metal rules!
NW Army Namibia checking in
🌌⛲⚔️🇳🇦🤘🏻
You guys can't even imagine what Floor can do with her voice. Whait until see her growling :)
Loving your dive! Here for it!
Nightwish will be in 3 US cities in May of 2022. NYC, Lowell, Mass (a bit outside of Boston), and 2 shows in Los Angeles! Short US leg this time. But, there will be more in the future 🤘🏻😊
I'm so glad that you are using the lyric videos. I see that you guys can see the importance of, and realize the impact of the lyrics to Nightwish's experiences. :) Thanks you two. :)
Nightwish " I want my tears back" but make sure it's the Buenos Aires show! The crowd sings to the band in the beginning for about a minute or so. Not to mention floor does her little jig all around that stage ❤️ Another great one is " greatest show on Earth" but make sure this one is from their "Tempe show". It's outdoors and has fireworks and everything. Especially if you don't know what's coming 😉 it's about the fictitious theory of evolution, but the production of this song is absolutely amazing!!!
Fictitious theory of evolution?
@@northof4912 yep, In my opinion.
@@johnolexa1543 Ahhh, so the alternative is not theoretical? Interesting!
I love your guys' reactions! Can't wait to see you dive deeper with this band
Nightwish - Romanticide - Official Live Video
Yes, you pronounced Wacken perfectly 🤓and and a little 6 foot angel is a good one😂
Wacken is a tiny sleepy agricultural village in northern Germany, housing cattles most time of the year (hence the flaming bull skull)
But every summer the fields near Wacken are transformed into a town for the biggest metal festival in the world
There is even a pipeline in the ground for the consumption of hundreds of thousands liters of German beer.
82000 people were attending this show.
1 song is all it takes to join the army. that's the ultimate support for a band.
Floor’s operatic singing at 20:14 was originally a backing track when originally written for Annette, who does not posses that range. After a time getting comfortable with the songs, Floor suggested singing it herself. The rest is history.
Great reaction !
Go on with Nightwish !
Nightwish Army - Tennessee Volunteer Division glad to be in the house for your second round of Floorgasms. 😉I'm a 62 year old dude that was never much into metal, for several reasons other than the hits but Nightwish have eliminated all of those reasons and totally won me over. Loving your reactions and your whole vibe guys! A big challenge for you two is going to be only doing NW one day of the week. LOL
*Hands rubbing together* You are in for quite the ride my friends
Can’t wait!
I think you both are a very nice couple and the way you interpret the music is very refreshing. That's the beauty of Nightwish, everyone can let their own feelings loose on it, there is no right or wrong. I'm going with you on this Nightwish journey, i like and sub, greetings from the Netherlands🤘🏽🇳🇱
P.S And my favorite bit of text from Storytime is "
Imaginarium, a dream emporium!
Caress the Tales
And they will dream you real
A storyteller's game
Lips that intoxicate
The core of all life
Is a limitless chest of tales...😊
NW army, South Africa division here. You guys must remember that being in the nightwish army is when 95% if not all soldiers consider nightwish their favorite band in history and perhaps the best of all time. You have got to be in it with your entire heart. We welcome all, because we know the rest is inevitable. Thanks for the new reaction. Keep growing with NW and you will never look back.
Hello from a fellow Sefrican! 🇿🇦
the perfect union of musical genres in the songs of Nightwish is due to the genius of Tuomas Holopainen, who as well as a musician is also a poet, that's why sometimes the lyrics of the songs can be a little cryptic, and in addition to composing the songs he is also the keyboardist of the band and the organizer of their concerts.
the performance of "ghost love score" you reacted last time is one of the three best performances of the nightwish band, together with "the poet and the pendulum" from 2015 concert at the london wembley arena and "the greatest show on earth" from 2015 concert in tampere - finland (actually there is a fourth best performance: "dead boy's poem" from the 2018 concert in buenos aires).
Welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole! And if you like different song types... This is the Band for you! Not that uncommon that reactors name the latest song they listen to "their new favourite" Nightwish song...
Wow. love your enthusiasm guys! Your analysis and dissection of the lyrics and their meaning were spot on. Nightwish..there are few words. Floor is a six foot one inch powerhouse with a voice like "liquid gold". Her vocal gymnastics are incredible. Floor is classically trained and also a vocal coach. You can catch her on a show called Beste Zangers. She performs Phantom of the Opera with Henk Port and you need to see her perform Euphoria on the same show. Nightwish are blessed with fantastic instrumentalists and creative individuals. Their music is epic with many layers. Their live shows especially Wacken in 2013 are studio quality! Stay safe and Best wishes from the UK.
I just realize you haven't heard sing Floor and the bass player Marco together :D Romanticide next? Greetings from The Netherlands!
next has to be "song of myself" .
another different experience from nightwish )
thx for your reactions !
Welcome to the Nightwish rabbit hole. Hold on and enjoy the ride :)
That keyboard played Tuomas Holopainen is the Nightwish. Ofcourse it’s always the band, but Tuomas is the power that makes this machine to work.
Greatest show on earth,live in Tampere.
Nightwish 😎😎
For 20 years I thought music is not for me anymore. Then I found Nightwish again, and I knew: There will be tomorrow. You've found a treasure, comrades
Remember kids, this is Nightwish. Expect the unexpected!

The First State, USA, Mid-Atlantic Division, Nightwish Army, reporting for duty. Great reaction - glad you've joined the ranks!
.. And the eighth day he created FLOOR❤
Nightwish Army Germany checking in.
Storytime is oozing positive energy from second one on....if you need somehting to cheer up - watch this video. When our Queen starts the Windmill you know everything will be good.
After you have reacted now to this poppy-powerhouse of a song....time for something softer....We strongly recommend Everdream from Wacken.
And you are completely right. Our Valkyrie Queen is the Center of Gravity on the Stage...but the complete Band is exceptionally good. You will find out during your dive down the Rabbit Hole....
See you on the next Reaction to our favorite Finnish Band.
All Hail the Queen !
Greetings from Portugal .

Nightwish Army Pennsylvania division reporting in and I must say I love ya two now that's what a great reaction looks like. the only requirement is fall in love with them then your in the Army now, Welcome . Floor had only been with the band for 10 months at this show. I believe ya had a FLOORGASM
Hi! I like your last 2 Nightwish reaction videos! It's a big step from Hip Hop to Symphonic Metal but it's so cool because you like it! Floor is an unbelivible singer and shs's the best female singer i've ever seen! Because many ask she's 6.1 feet tall, she's Dutch, married with the drummer of Sabaton Hannes van Dahl and they become thier first doughter Freja in 2016. She started in 2012 singing for Nightwish because the 2nd singer Anette get ill on their US tour. So NW asked Floor if she will sing for them, there is a video about this conzert when Anette was ill and what they did than what's called "the Denver debacle" and another video about Floor what's called "please lern the setlist in 48 houres". (!!!) You can look it by yourself if you have time or if you are interested to see it one time. Every song is different, from a ballad for your heart to really hard metal style songs! I don't know if you go on Gabriels list, if than i belive the next song is "Romanticide" and this is one of their harder songs! But i like it very much! I like read the comments from reaction videos, there write people from around the world and there are many really nice cool people who love Nightwish as much as i did, some more! I hear them since 1997 and i'm really a big fan, "Angels fall first" was the first song i hear and i was impressed by Tarjas voice, the first singer and one of the founder of NW. In the year 1998 i'd buy my first NW album what's also called Angels fall first. I also like the second NW singer Anette and there are many really good songs from her NW era, "The poet and the pendulum" or "Song of myself" as example and much more, "Storytime" what i really like is also original with Anette but i don't like her live. I will not write bad things about her, i wish her only the best but she was live not really good. If you will do an lovely song next than you could do "Sleeping Sun" from Tampere 2015 or "Ever dream" from Wacken '13, another song in the way like this one you did today than "Nemo" or "Dark chest of wonders" from the same Wacken '13 conzert but if you 2 would hear an really hard song than do "Romanticide" or "Song of myself" also from Wacken '13. I'm looking forward for your next NW reaction and i wish you 2 an wonderful week!
Greetings and my best wishes to you from 🇪🇺Vienna🇦🇹! Keep care!
(i'm sorry for some mistakes, my english isn't the best but i get better)
Only 900,000 units domestically sold since 1996 and 9 M worldwide?? This band has been slept on!! 🇫🇮 FTW
Yup...and that's just what the US music and recording industry wants...their "no more than 3 minute song, devoid of any instrument solo, Cookie Monster vocal style, Mumble Crap," industrial formula sht has been forced upon music fans here for better than two decades. I'm old enough to remember goin to a couple of great live shows a week within driving distance. It's all but killed touring here. There's talent out there that's not being allowed to foster because bands and artists are kicked out the door in leu of the next "flavor of the week." It's destroyed the band's and artist's "want" to better themselves at their craft. Not playing before 20-30 thousand fans every other night that're booing them offstage because their music and playing is crap will do that. I know that I'm generalizing here, but young fans and kids deserve better for the hard-earned money that they're spending. It's been going on for so long, they don't know any different. They should be PISSED, and they've got every right to be...it's bullsht.
@thenewreel, you’re already part of the army, welcome!! For many it only takes one song .🤟🤟✌️✌️🇨🇦
You guys are fun !! Subbed and waiting for more !! Greetings from 🇨🇦🤘🏼💥🥃
Thank you!!! Love the name!! Big Wu fan here!
As soon as Nightwish is your favorite band you are a part of the NW army.. and yes you are already there..lol.. the NW Army is about Love, and enjoying Tuomas brilliant mind along with the fantactic music all the guys perfom together... no NW member is not super talented, i love them all, still Tuomas is the main engine, as he write 99% of the music and Lyrics, its hes music the other guys perform basicly, and they do it damn good, .. and the day Floor was introduced on stage as new front singer, yes a angel did land, our new queen, she is the main focus on stage surely..well we are all addicted..lol..
This song is a celebration to all the writers Toumas love, and also a message to tell that every man, can fill the empthy crib of Peter Pan.. we all can create something..
Btw Tuomas is a huge Disney fan, he even made a solo album called the adventures of Scroodge McDuck, you should check that out to someday:) else Tuomas is also really dedicated to nature, and the universe.. among other stuff..
Tuomas got the nickname Metal Mozart, and yes guess why.)
Ive been a NW fan since the release of the album once in 2004, and they have been my favorite band ever since..'
Now i was thinking what song would be good to you to react to next, and my thought is that you should get a little more Marko, and see more of hes impact on the band, you can do so with this one Devil and the deep dark ocean..live in Buenos Aires.. there is a lot of good stuff to pick from, but this is some more Marko, and he is a huge impact to in many songs..

Welcome to the journey.... GREAT BAND
Pantera is one of the bands that got Floor into being a metal singer. She still listens to them to this day.
So was old school Finntroll and Ensiferum
Floor, as you've no doubt been told, is the 3rd lead vocalist Nightwish has had. all the songs you will be seeing performed at Wacken were originally recorded by one of the previous 2 singers. Tuomas writes to the talents of whomever the current singer is. they've always hired singers who had the same vocal range. all 3 have been sopranos. Floor has, in most people's opinion, the talents of both Tarja and Annette. each member of the band adds their own contributions during the rehearsals leading into recording, but, it all originates with Tuomas's vision of the album. the songs and the stories come from him.
