Hi Buckeye. The guitarist is Jørn Viggo Lofstad, from the band Pagans Mind. He and Floor created the Northward project in 2007, writing an entire album worth of music in 2008 but being unable to record previously due to their busy schedules; they ultimately reunited in 2017 to finally record their self-titled debut album, which was released in 2018. It's quite a varied album, and includes a track, "Drifting Islands", where Floor duets with her sister, Irene. The whole thing is well worth a listen
I just hope that reacting to her music that I do a little part in someone discovering her music, I have turned friends and other reactors on to NIGHTWISH and Floor's music. Don't do it for clicks and views but for the Love of music and amazing artists like Floor. Appreciate you Brother!
Northward is just a project between Floor and guitarist is Jørn Viggo Lofstad, from the band Pagans Mind. Floor getting some of her more classic rock vibe on. They had been formulating this project for several years and finally had a chance to put it together during a Nightwish break in touring and recording. Have a great day Buckeye Creeker.
Well, our Valkyrie Goddess really Kicking Ass on this one isn't it. She is, after all, Beyond Awesome !!! Northward is a great Album (also one of my collection). All Hail to our Valkyrie Goddess Floor "The Unstopable" Jansen 🤘😎🤘
👍There should be a synoniem in the dictionary for versatile and it should be FLOOR.😄 And yes,there is so much good music still to find,try Ayreon for example,you never will find a band/project with sooooo... much talent on stage.🤘 Greetings from Spain.
Floor has so many different sounds she can make, you never know what it will be, but it will sound great. Have you ever heard such a versatile singer in your life? I haven't. Have you heard her doing pure Opera yet? Floor Jansen interview (with subtitles!) and Puccini Aria Live in Tiende van Tijl 2013-1-2 ua-cam.com/video/Od_qcbw3f5Q/v-deo.html
Such a long project in between bands to finally finished the Northward album. Floor is so versatile If she sung country she could as well but i haven't heard her rap yet lol.
Good day Buckeye. It certainly seems like you enjoyed Floors' hard rock project. If you liked this song, then may I suggest the following songs by Northward. "Big Boy", "I Need", "Get What You Give". All of them rockin' tunes, especially "Big Boy". There are official lyric videos for ALL songs off their self titled album, so you can react to them if you want to. Hope to see you react some more to Northward!
She was dating the lead guitarist of After Forever for about 9 years and when the band broke up, he broke up with her, so I think this is about that love affair. It was her first and it really crushed her and obviously the crushing turned to hate of him. Just put "Northward" in the UA-cam search box and you'll find the entire album.
Beg your pardon, but it was the other way around. Their relationsship began to break in the beginning of 2007. But it seems to be difficult. They've been a couple for 7 years. The sabbatical 2008 did'nt help. So officialy AF ended 2009. And in interviews in 2010 she would have bite her tongue off before talking about him. Goodbye😂
@@youaremysecretstream Hah, I'll up you one more on the whole Sander - Floor story (all in good fun of course). So their relationship ended in 2006. Sander suffered a burn-out in early 2007 and had to take a break (see e.g. his FaceCulture interviews for that). Grunter extraordinaire George Oosthoek (Orphanage, MaYaN) filled the gap. For a brief time, Sander re-appeared (hence: "After Forever - Dreamflight Live ProgPower USA VIII (2007)" BTW: Buckeye, check that one out if you haven't already!). From 2008 onwards, our AF watches are in sync again 😁 Your main point abt their relationship not ending (by a long shot) when AF ended in 2009 still stands of course. Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘
@BrendonChase_2015 Fortunately it does'nt matter at all as long as they are happy now.🤘But I saw an interview in dutch in 2007 where Floor said clearly they seperated in the beginning of 2007. ua-cam.com/video/z9Bl23MZtqw/v-deo.htmlsi=jC8un9s2s1xh1dXZ. The rest we have the same state of knowledge.
Check out “Revamp” it’s Floors Band she created the songs formed the band After Forever broke up. She wanted to have more control. Fantastic band check out “Distain” live at Graspop 2010, other songs at that concert to start are Trial of Monsters & Millions. Love this Band she only disbanded it once she became a member of Nightwish. But there is hope as she has hinted is some interviews of bringing Revamp back and she has said there is always that possibility if the Nightwish journey ends because she has lots of songs written for Revamp. Will have to see but anything this woman does is ok with me! God Bless Rock On Stay Safe!🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I do not know other music by that guitarist, but his fat guitar sound deserves as much credit as Floors vocals. The vibe reminded me a bit of Robert Gordon and Link Wray - Red Hot. Good vocals and guitar.
All the lyrics she wrote for Northward and ReVamp from 2008 until 2013 were personal. Not difficult to understand what was going on with her that time. The lyrics for the song northwards she wrote in 2017.
This really has a Joan Jett feel to me. There are only a couple of videos for the Northward album, but the whole thing is worth listening to IMO - they don't all sound like this!
Floor and Jørn started this project back in 2007 but due to all kinds of factors it was finalized in 2018. A number of songs (like this one) are about her breakup with her first band After Forever and her boyfriend (the growling guy in AF). For me Jørn is one of the best guitar players around (I just prefer Emppu more). Watch this typical Pagan's Mind song: ua-cam.com/video/tGTpOyQAxKw/v-deo.htmlsi=8x5edFkA-gEi2huv BTW Pm's drummer and keyboardist are also featuring on this Northward album and the great Nightwish video director Ville Lipiäinen .

Thank you so much for this! Appreciate You! 🤠
Floor transforms into whatever is needed, she has no limits.
The worst fact is that most of the world doesn't know she even exists.
I just hope that reacting to her music that I do a little part in someone discovering her music, I have turned friends and other reactors on to NIGHTWISH and Floor's music. Don't do it for clicks and views but for the Love of music and amazing artists like Floor. Appreciate you Brother!
but since once time listen to her voice the world not in the same way anymore

Thank you for this sir! Appreciate you!
You want another side of Floor. O mio bammbino caro from Puccini. (Warning Opera).🤘
I will check it out!
I'm glad you got to this one. I love this. I hope they collaborate again 😊
It was great! It was like she was 3 different people in this song!! 🤠
Well, our Valkyrie Goddess really Kicking Ass on this one isn't it. She is, after all, Beyond Awesome !!!
Northward is a great Album (also one of my collection).
All Hail to our Valkyrie Goddess Floor "The Unstopable" Jansen 🤘😎🤘
I felt like she deserved 2 reactions for her Birthday! This song was great and added to my play list! Appreciate you my Brother! 🤠
Hi there Buckeye!🤠
As we all know Floor can sing any genre any way she wants!
She is truly a gift!
Keep on keeping on Buckeye! 🤠😎🤘
SHE ROCKS!!! 🤠
Floor is a BEAST!!
Really enjoy your reactions! Thank you for the kind words. From a very very old Rock Metal head! God Bless Rock On Stay Safe!🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Big Boy is definitely worth checking out. Floor shows yet another side to her vocals with a bluesy sassy performance.
I will check it out for sure!
🤗🍒🤘🏻

And yes,there is so much good music still to find,try Ayreon for example,you never will find a band/project with sooooo... much talent on stage.🤘 Greetings from Spain.
Howdy Spain! Thank you for this!
Hello mister, love the way you're enjoying just good music. Keep them coming!!!
Lots of love from the Netherlands, Floors home country. 🇳🇱💚
This was epic!
Floor has so many different sounds she can make, you never know what it will be, but it will sound great. Have you ever heard such a versatile singer in your life? I haven't.

No but I will check it out! I was never one for opera, but I will listen to Floor
Such a long project in between bands to finally finished the Northward album. Floor is so versatile If she sung country she could as well but i haven't heard her rap yet lol.
I would love to hear Floor sing Country!
🤘🇫🇮👍😎🎸
Thanks for the reaction, and you’ll let’s honor Floor and Jørn by purchasing / streaming their music.
I always do! I still purchase CD's and Vinyl when I can also.
🖤🤘🔥

GODDESS FLOOR IS EVERYTHING.. AND MORE AND MORE AND MORE AND MORE.
REALLY....
IN THIS PLANET...
NOBODY LIKE HER!!!
Agree! She is multi-talented!

It was her first and it really crushed her and obviously the crushing turned to hate of him. Just put "Northward" in the UA-cam search box and you'll find the entire album.

Goodbye😂
She brought the attitude in this song!
@@youaremysecretstream I love how you all know so much about your favorite artist!! Y'all ROCK!!!
@@youaremysecretstream Hah, I'll up you one more on the whole Sander - Floor story (all in good fun of course). So their relationship ended in 2006.

This was such a vibe!! The changing of Floor's cloths in the video was like 3 different people and attitudes!! Loved it!
All the lyrics she wrote for Northward and ReVamp from 2008 until 2013 were personal. Not difficult to understand what was going on with her that time.
The lyrics for the song northwards she wrote in 2017.
Thank you for this! She is so talented!
My favorite from this record is Big Boy. There is no video for it.
I will check it out!
This really has a Joan Jett feel to me. There are only a couple of videos for the Northward album, but the whole thing is worth listening to IMO - they don't all sound like this!
I agree! Joan Jett vibe! Floor has such a powerful voice!
Floor and Jørn started this project back in 2007 but due to all kinds of factors it was finalized in 2018. A number of songs (like this one) are about her breakup with her first band After Forever and her boyfriend (the growling guy in AF).
