This was made to a 2007 movie Lieksa! and Floor Jansen was not part of the band , her part was written in later . Movie is a drama comedy set to 1970 , you can see Tuomas and Marco walking between the actors in movie scenes in the official Nightwish video .
Congratulations on engagement. That is a very beautiful and true song. The vocals between Marko and Floor are just exquisite. His voice is so great and he really knows “how” to sing.
This is my personal favorite song featuring Marko. Especially this particular live version with Troy using the e-bow to implement that otherworldly effect.
To really see what Troy can do with a guitar, I would suggest watching the 2 acoustic performances, he did recently with Floor, for Planet Rock for the Songs Nemo & How's The Heart.
The official list of instruments that Troy plays is longer then most peoples CVs over a lifetime. The unofficial list? One can only imagine......so comment jokes like the one you spotted is allways comedy gold! Troy is a wizard! What he alone adds to this song is so good i dont have words for it. Marcos voice is just as brilliant for this song. And Floor shows that her backing vocal skills are second to no man or woman too.
It's so long that he always takes in at least 2 lines in the credits of any fully recorded concert. lol Then again, he's a Gemini. Gotta use more than one line to give enough credit to "both of him". ;)
Tuomas writes the best music there is and here they perform this beauty so well. The original version can be seen on the video which also has clips of the movie for which this was made.
Congratulations on your engagement!! I wish the best for the two of you! And thank you for your words about Ann Waycoff, she was such a special lady. My conversations with her had such an impact on me, she will be missed.
How the conversation in 2007 probably went down* Tuomas: So, what instrument can you play? Troy: Yes. Tuomas: Perfect. I'll hire you full-time in six years.
Many, many congrats Sergey to you and your future wife, I wish you both all the very best. I am crying. I knew that would happen when I saw the title. It's a beautiful song but takes me back to 2014 when my wife of some 30 years and a Floor like statuesque person of similar height had the worst stroke ever without warning and died here in minutes at 54, 14 years my junior, just two years into the early retirement that we had both worked so hard for and in a different country too. No chance to Kiss while your lips are still Red, so the message is quite plain, you never know. Loving your reactions and the uplifting news from you is absolutely brilliant !!
Congratulations, this was composed for the Finnish film Lieksa, by Tuomas and Marco in 2007 and included on the single Amaranth, the original video for the song includes clips from the film.
This song was actually written for a Finnish movie called "Lieksa" in English "The Matriarch". Just a fun little tidbit in case no one has mentioned it before. And congratulations 6 months late. Been on a Nightwish reaction binge the last month :) The part where Troy plays the E-bow was originally played by strings so I'm guessing that's why the use of the E-bow to make it mimic the string sound.
Hey Nightwish surprised you again 😁 Always expect the unexpected from them. Troy sometimes uses the E-bow in Greatest Show on Earth instead of his illeuan pipes in the start. As the others suggest, please try the two acoustic versions from Troy and Floor's promotion tour in spring - Planet Rock Radio - How is the Heart and Nemo. This is higest quality of music - as Troy puts it "when Floor starts her Stratospheric voice" - in this case - spot on. And with your background, you will know the difficult techniques Floor uses. Superb reaction from you - again, and thank you for Ann 👍🤘🤘
Sergey congratulation on your becoming newly married. ❤️ Ann would have loved to hear your great news. I suspect she is watching over us. Ann was my sister and my family has been overwhelmed by the love 💔
You noticed the ebow right away, good work! It's used in "Devil and the deep dark ocean, live Buenos Aires" too. Not sure if it's being used in other Nightwish songs.
To my knowledge, E-Bow is used in: this song + Greatest Show on Earth (Wembley, Buenos Aires etc); Nemo; Sahara; Devil; Deep Silent Complete; The Siren...then on the new album you can hear it in Music; Shoemaker and Procession (maybe also in Pan and Endlessness but not too sure - if so, it's low in the mix). I think that's all of them so far...? Might have missed one or two!
Congratulations to you and your future Mrs Guitar Teacher. 👏💍 And thanks for the kind words about Ann. Whoever is backing the other, Floor and Marko were meant to be together - on stage at least. And Troy uses the Ebow at the start of The Greatest Show On Earth at this show, instead of the Low Whistle.
Congratulations to you on the engagement. And thank you for recognizing Ann. I didn't get a chance to interact with her, sadly. My thoughts and prayers are with all who knew her.
Welcome back good sir! And congrats! You do understand it's all downhill from now on? 😁 I was just wondering couple days ago where have you gone. Good to hear everything is fine! 🎶👍 🇫🇮
Long time no see - Hope everything's okay with you! probably my favorite reactor along with Chase. Probably just because it looks/feels like we're the same kind of nerd so I relate with a lot of your commentary. Miss your reactions but more importantly just wanted to check in, hope you're doing well and congratulations again on the engagement - whether or not you get back to youtube!
Congratulations my friend. Best wishes on your wedding. Is it planned already? We all miss Ann. A very special soul. Another unexpected twist on symphonic metal? There is a calm and tender side of Marco's vocal ability. Is there any instrument the Troy cannot play? Emppu took a fiver to slam down another Corona!
Strictly speaking not an "official" Nightwish release, but this song involved the talents of both Marco & Tuomas. If you like to hear another song composed by Tuomas, check out the following. Artist is Timo Rautiainen and the song is in Finnish, BTW. I have no doubt you will esp. love the bit of guitar playing at the end. ua-cam.com/video/ohYieJwTB3M/v-deo.html
You should check out Phantom of the Opera sung by Floor and Henk Poort from Dutch song contest Beste Zangers. Henk is the original Erik from the Dutch version of the opera.
Emppu has updated some of his guitar parts since the studio versions, like the solo for Romanticide, so i'm hoping to see more of that in the future. It'd be great to see him integrate something new into this song down the line, for example. There are some new opportunities there for working out new things in combination with Troy's contributions. i mean, unless he particularly wants to sit this song out, i dunno. He just seems an under-utilized resource as the Nightwish sound evolves.
This song ends much too soon for me. Very beautiful melodic song, Marko did a wonderful job, especially with the great Floor Jansen. For whatever reason(which I do not know), Emppu did not play on this song. I guess Tuomas gave him a break...
Congratulations!! Glad to see you back, as I'm getting ready to get back to reactions from a hiatus myself - I had also wondered if things were good with you. I really enjoy your reactions! This was a great one! You have plenty of suggestions for NW so I'll offer an alternative to get a closer look on one of Floor's abilities you've heard before. Wild Card by revamp, it's a struggle finding a good live of it though and imo this is the best alternative which is a live performance dubbed with studio. ua-cam.com/video/El9TeVNTT4M/v-deo.html There is one live I think at Bloodstock that she performed great and probably better than studio but the recording quality is pretty bad.
I think the E-Bow has such a nice sound though, and it brings something different to that band. :) It works so well in tunes like Sahara and Shoemaker with that mystical wailing effect!
Congrats on your engagement!! The official video has a slightly different version with more piano and violin and is IMO absolutely beautiful, a must-see (with images from the film the song was made for by Tuomas and Marco) : ua-cam.com/video/Kmiw4FYTg2U/v-deo.html
Marcos bumper sticker says, "Floor Jansen is my backing vocalist".
😁😂🤣
What a great Background Singer,,Her Name is FLOOR JANSEN?little joke..Troy and Marko are amazing too..what a ballad..and R.I.P ANN,,we miss you😢
This was made to a 2007 movie Lieksa! and Floor Jansen was not part of the band , her part was written in later .
Movie is a drama comedy set to 1970 , you can see Tuomas and Marco walking between the actors in movie scenes in the official Nightwish video .
@@pete_lind I was kinda baffled as I was thinking the song might have been in a some movie, thanks for the confirmation.
I love how versatile Nightwish is, thrash here, sweet ballad there, a rousing instrumental, all whenever they want to.
It's a sign of world class musicians on every instrument. They don't play what they can, but what they want.
I walked down the altar to this song ❤❤❤
That’s so beautiful!
Wow!!
Absolutely amazing idea.
Great choice! I can't think of a better song.Hope you both have a long and happy life together.
@@folkme3042 thank you 😊

This is my personal favorite song featuring Marko. Especially this particular live version with Troy using the e-bow to implement that otherworldly effect.
Troy, what instrument do you play in Nightwish?
Troy: "Yes."
Awesome news for you, congratulations. Nice acknowledgment for Ann too.
Yes, thank you
It is one of the most beautiful songs! Was made for a movie and it shows clips from the movie for the official music video.
To really see what Troy can do with a guitar, I would suggest watching the 2 acoustic performances, he did recently with Floor, for Planet Rock for the Songs Nemo & How's The Heart.
Both insanely good performances!
Congratulations! Thank you for reacting to this song, it’s so beautiful. Also that was a lovely tribute to Ann.
Great reaction. Congrats on your engagement! And thank you for thinking of Ann & her family.
Thank you so much!
People always recommend "The Islander" or "High Hopes" as a showcase for Marko's vocals, but I think this is his best performance.

One can only imagine......so comment jokes like the one you spotted is allways comedy gold! Troy is a wizard! What he alone adds to this song is so good i dont have words for it.

"I have not seen that before" -the usual comment when Troy starts to play on something.
Yeah, what can't Troy play? I haven't seen him with a Hurdy-gurdy, but I wouldn't be surprised.
How the conversation in 2007 probably went down*
Tuomas: So, what instrument can you play?
Troy: Yes.
Tuomas: Perfect. I'll hire you full-time in six years.
Many, many congrats Sergey to you and your future wife, I wish you both all the very best.

Welcome back to nightwish missed you love this song so much great reaction thankyou.
One of my favorite songs ❤️
Congratulations on your engagement. An emotional song and in this time what we live in, once again showing Marco’s versatility as a singer. Thank you.
Congratulations, this was composed for the Finnish film Lieksa, by Tuomas and Marco in 2007 and included on the single Amaranth, the original video for the song includes clips from the film.
It was not on DPP, it was second song in some "Single" right before DPP.
@@zdenekdolezal9646 It was included on Amaranth single. :)
@@zdenekdolezal9646 Yes you are correct my error, I have corrected my comment. Thankyou
It's Lieksa. It's a town in Finland. Lieska on the other hand means flaring flame or big, short flame
@@creislaw4821 Thankyou. Corrected.

Keep on going with Nightwish Great comments
Congratulations!! That's great news!
I have never seen a better video and reaction to a song. Thanks.
Glad to see you back, and hearty congratulations on your engagement. Also, nice of you to mention Ann; we all miss her.
Sergey congratulation on your becoming newly married. ❤️
Ann would have loved to hear your great news. I suspect she is watching over us.
Ann was my sister and my family has been overwhelmed by the love 💔
I am sorry about your loss. She will be dearly missed by our community, and let your family know that you have our fullest support.
Originally violins were in the this song and since they got Troy on board They can experiment with many fun stuff live like the e-bow.
That's also why Troy plays it and not Emppu. It is not an official guitar part.
Troy is just insanely talented and versatile.
2007 when Tuomas made this to a drama comedy movie Lieksa! , Troy was not in the band neither was Floor Jansen .
@@pete_lind I thought I remembered seeing a violinist on stage at a concert 5 years ago.
Glad to have you back man! Congratulations for your good news.
You noticed the ebow right away, good work! It's used in "Devil and the deep dark ocean, live Buenos Aires" too. Not sure if it's being used in other Nightwish songs.
Greatest Show On Earth Live @Wembley.
Ahh yeah! I always watch the Tampere version so I totally missed that!
To my knowledge, E-Bow is used in: this song + Greatest Show on Earth (Wembley, Buenos Aires etc); Nemo; Sahara; Devil; Deep Silent Complete; The Siren...then on the new album you can hear it in Music; Shoemaker and Procession (maybe also in Pan and Endlessness but not too sure - if so, it's low in the mix).

Congratulations! Great reaction. Glad to see you back. Stay safe!
Good to see you back, and congratulations!
Congrats mate... awesome! 😊✌🏼
Congratulations 🎉 it's a lovely song. Thank you for the reaction. 👍😀
Welcome back and congrats! What a fitting song to announce your engagement!
Congratulations to you and your future Mrs Guitar Teacher. 👏💍 And thanks for the kind words about Ann.

Congratulations to you on the engagement. And thank you for recognizing Ann. I didn't get a chance to interact with her, sadly. My thoughts and prayers are with all who knew her.
So, congrats!!!! Loads of fun and joy on this fun adventure trip called marriage!!!
Yes! Thank you!
Great reaction! And congratulations on you engagement.
Welcome back good sir! And congrats! You do understand it's all downhill from now on? 😁
I was just wondering couple days ago where have you gone.
Good to hear everything is fine! 🎶👍 🇫🇮
Congratulations man, Im happy for you
Great reaction man 🤘🤘
and congratulations on your engagement
Should've saw the ring. 😂 We danced to Nick Cave - Into My Arms. While your lips are still red would be a nice touch too!
Congratulations, never in a million years I thought I would say that I missed you
Congrats man!
I’ve heard Minniva’s take on the song but I love the warm tone on this take.
Congratulations!!!!!
Great song, great reaction
Congratulations!!!! And great reaction also.
Thank you for introducing me to a Nightwish song I haven't heard before. What a nice surprise!!!!
a different side of NW, but they never disappoint. Congratulation for your engagement and luck, love and all the best for you two.
Welcome back, and Congratulations!
Congrats on your engagement. And this is a wonderful song, a favorite of mine.
Thanks, beautiful song
The part Troy was playing was originally done on a violin, so Empu was probably there playing the original guitar part
And congrats ❤️
Congrats on the up coming wedding !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is soooooo beautiful song can be. thanx react sergey. have great day there. ps. this is nightwish most covered song.
Concerts are long so each member will get a break sometime. It was Emppu’s turn. 😄
Kai cries into his snare drum.
@@PHDarren 😂 Stay strong Kai!
Yeah. Emppu rarely gets a full song length break, if any at all.
@@Ilionej Yeah....and all that beer! 😜
@@PHDarren pffhhhhhhh I snorted my tea all over my phone, thanks dude
ANN ,,*YOU WERE HERE * !!
Congratulations!
Troy is emulating violin with that e-bow - that part was originally written for violin
Whew! I was getting worried that you might have gotten COVID and were on a ventilator. So glad it's not the case. Congratulations!

Where is the other guitar player you ask? I would assume drinking his corona beer lol 😆
In the audience handing out picks!
Congratulations on your engagement.
Congrats on ur engagement!!! Remember the wife is always right, will save u a lot of grief in the long run. Lol
Rip anne
This could have been sung in a Medieval court. At a king's request.
I wonder if there are any instruments that Troy can't play?
As a guitar teacher, you should react to the acoustic version of the How's the Heart;)
Congratulations on engagement. I'm newly engaged myself... this is our song rip Anne
This song ends much too soon for me. Very beautiful melodic song, Marko did a wonderful job, especially with the great Floor Jansen.
For whatever reason(which I do not know), Emppu did not play on this song. I guess Tuomas gave him a break...
Is there an instrument Troy does not play? Flute, some traditonal string instruments, pipes and electric guitar so far.
Congratulations!! Glad to see you back, as I'm getting ready to get back to reactions from a hiatus myself - I had also wondered if things were good with you. I really enjoy your reactions!

What can Troy not do?
I'm a new sub BTW
👋👋👋
Troy is not the lead guitarist - Emppu is. Troy plays an assortment of instruments. Him playing here is the exception.
You should really do Dragonforce - Through the Fire and Flame
The movie this is from is ok too
if troy used sustaniac pickups he would not need that ebow. my schecter has that pickup
I think the E-Bow has such a nice sound though, and it brings something different to that band. :) It works so well in tunes like Sahara and Shoemaker with that mystical wailing effect!
Congrats on your engagement!! The official video has a slightly different version with more piano and violin and is IMO absolutely beautiful, a must-see (with images from the film the song was made for by Tuomas and Marco) : ua-cam.com/video/Kmiw4FYTg2U/v-deo.html
Another different song of theirs, is Slow love slow.
It's jazz... The album version is the best there is for that one.
