Trying hard to figure why the two thumbs down. Is the pause too long perhaps? Is it an anxiety attack thinking about the intro music? Are they perhaps feeling cheated that they did not get here first? Ah I know, its his right index finger when he pretends to be left handed - I say FAKE You practiced this pose before Chaseface, this is NOT a first time pose.😲
@derp derpin i hope you are not trying people to react to what YOU want instead of what THEY want... Im sure there are lots of other reactors to the songs you want out there to loose your time going to the channels that dont to give thumbs down. Really, re-evaluate your life if thats happening.
This song was before the poet and the pendulum on the setlist thus Floor going to Tuomas in the end of the song and singing "conquering the darkest places" for him! :) Just a little detail to add.
17:52 Since you asked: This was totally deliberate and is the coolest part of the song in my opinion, because this shift comes so suddenly and goes full throttle, catching you by surprise after the rather calm part before it. It's even more pronounced in the studio version!
Actually Chase that strange chord change was intended as a surprise key change. This allowed the band to transition back to the opening section to end the song, which is also a preverse/postchorus. The unusual thing was that instead of changing key to the root chord (G minor) it changed to the 6th (E♭) in the key of G minor. This actual made it sound like a drop of a half step. The song starts and ends in G minor and drops to E minor for the verses and chorus. For a simple sounding song the chord patterns are somewhat unusual. Tuomas likes to do key changes for dramatic effect. Usually 3 steps up and many times he steps back down to the original key. I think this is what is occurring in this song. Your theory is probably better than mine? Love this reaction and analysis. Trolls are so annoying! Why don't they just go to some other reactor and find what they are looking for instead of give negative stupid comments? Why bother? If you go through life commenting on everything you don't like there would be no time left to do and see things you do like! Miserable idiots! Peace out, Have a damn good day Chase.
@@ChaseCarneson I'll keep fingers crossed for you that the concert happens as scheduled. I was due to see them again in 4 weeks time in Cardiff, but that's had to be postponed. I'm now going to see them on 1st May in Birmingham. My dream/fantasy is that they are touring South Africa when I'm there next July / August and I get to see them there too.
If you’re wanting more Troy then I’d recommend the epic instrumental that is “Last of the wilds” (Wacken version) from the Dark Passion Play album, or more recently “My Walden” (Vehicle of spirit Wembley version) from the Endless Forms Most Beautiful album, both have big folk vibes like Harvest 😊 It’s also worth checking out Troy and Tuomos’ other band called Auri 😌
Magic does indeed exist Chase and both Nightwish with Floor (for me) and your reactions are magical. Thank you for the gold nuggets that your pauses provide that greatly help bring the magic in to clearer focus. Paul - Nightwish Army UK Division 👍😍😊
late to THIS show but seeing tuomas hammer the keys leads me to believe the change WAS intended. also, how cool to see professionals having a freekin BLAST ,, so cool
Love, love, love that sudden change of pace. I see it like going from 1'st gear nice and slow enjoying the ride to sudenly shifting gear and being knocked back in the seat while the song drives you full throttle into the sunset. Would almost say i get the same rush like from a roller-coaster suddenly sending you off from a standstill
Imagine listening to this song in the album order, where it was this song, an instrumental (The Eyes of Sharbat Gula - you should listen to that one at some point), and The Greatest Show on Earth to close. The "We were here" hits you so much harder that way.
Oh! The look on her face as she sings to him "conquering the darkest places!" You are so right! Her vocal skills are astounding, but it is her passion and emotion in what she sings that truly makes her great.
I love it when you talk about all the music stuf you let us hear what we don't hear ore mis in a show so the song gets a whole new meaning. Atleast for me it does. And I also love it when you and tank always name each other in your videos...
"This song just makes you feel great!" Yep! 😊😁😁 Also ... if you ever watch only one other reaction to greatest show on earth, look what The Charismatic Voice did with that. It's a 45min video! 😅 Can't wait for Tank to do it!!! Gonna be so epic! 😊
We Were Here. I love these three words so much. So simple, but such a powerful statement. To hear it sung so sweetly here and then so powerfully in The Greatest Show On Earth, it gets me every time.
Finally! 😁 This is my happy thought, my happy song, my magic fairy dust that makes me fly! If I'm having a bad day or feeling low this always picks me up and put a smile on my face. ❤️😆
Hearing this soft, sweet melodic singing of “We were here” line with TGSOE performance in mind brings me to tears. No lie. PS: I guessed the correct number of pauses; looking forward to receiving the air drum kit. TY
The not-so-accidental moment at the end is one of the most memorable moments for me at Himos 2016, Floor in the spotlight with whisperlike vocals and then BOOM, the whole band joining to conquer the darkest places! EPIC 👊
That "jarring" change has actually always been played that way. I like the way it gives you this little kick in the stomach (in the best possible way). Uhh... no, I'm not a musical masochist...
For more Troy, you can also check out "The Carpenter" from the Buenos Aires concert. It's a song from way back in the first album, and Troy takes over for Tuomas, who actually sang the male lead originally.
Pause. Nightwish doing Nightwish things. Unpause. Pause. Troy. Unpause. Pause. Magic. Magic exists, change my mind. Unpause. ...Pause....Palm-muting...Unpause...Pause...Pause. Love your reviews. I swear you have 5 ears. No clue how you hear all that you do.
I just love your Nightwish reactions! I'm just discovering them through your channel! They've officially become my favorite band too, so thank you so very much! They've got some of the most Beautiful music I've ever heard!
I just love the positive vibe of the song. The band didn’t over play anything and Floor didn’t over sing anything... they all just kept to what the song needed ... and it’s a great song.
I'm going to say that it was a deliberate key change, based upon the fact that Floor was right on the note when the change occurred...if it had been an accidental slide, there would have been SOME kind of hint of that with Floor's vocals.
Nice to see that interaction of Floor and Tuomas near the end of the song. Chase, did you notice what she was singing to Tuomas at 19:35? Do you know what was the next song in the set? Coincidence?
Thanks Chase! As the winner of the air drum kit I can tell you it has been driving my neighbours crazy this last month and a half almost. They got particularly annoyed over X-mas when I drummed along to the entire Tampere and Wembley shows but I told them to direct all their complaints to you. Hope you don't mind ;)
I started watching your channel after recently stumbling across your collab with Julia Nilon, and hoooly crap, and I glad I did. Your analyses are always so thorough and it's truly incredible how much you catch on a first listen. Your reactions are so wonderful, and it's truly a joy to see you nerd out or look at the camera with a "did that really just happen" face. Thank you for making these awesome videos. Fun fact: "Alpenglow" was performed right before "Poet and the Pendulum" at Wembley. They knew exactly what they were doing, playing such an upbeat, happy song right before the most intensely emotional song in the set. Also, for more Troy, "My Walden" from the Wembley show is also Troy-heavy and absolutely delightful.
This is a great song. Happy, loud but the singing makes it a kind of gentle. Musical there is more into it than you think first time hearing. One of my NW favourits.
I enjoy this so much. Nightwish-saturday is the One video i'm waiting for all week long and you allways delivers a really good reaction Chase, big ups for your consitensy 💜 and for more Troy I would really recommend My Walden ord Last of the Woods. Have A Damn Good Day and #love🖤 to all of you fantastic people here.
Great analysis as always. I have to say I was giggling a bit throughout as I had my YT closed caption on lol. It does not always get the words you are saying right and everytime you said Emppu, it put Emporer lolol. I think he would prefer that to the Hobbit personally, and from this day for me, he will be the Emporer! :D
Yes! I finally caught up with all your other Nightwish reactions you did and can finally watch them live now! I don't really comment a lot but i wanted to tell you, that i have an incredible amount of respct for you. How you are able to hear so many little things in your first listen amazed me! Because of you I started to listen to Nightwish and other music more intensely and intently again. Keep going like that! I'll be off now to watch all your other reactions. Until Saturday :)
So many of their songs have tie ins to other songs. This one has, as you pointed out, the call out to TGSoE, but it also calls out to My Walden with "making a Walden of our own". And the phrase "meadows of heaven" , a song from Dark Passion Play is used in multiple songs. It seems like Toumas constantly ties their songs together, even across albums.
There’s some good suggestions here already for more Troy-related Nightwish magic, but i haven’t seen ‘elvenjig/elvenpath‘ mentioned - the Buenos Aires version kicks ass! also, thanks for another great reaction!!
Nightwish doing Nightwish things and Chase doing Chase things - both of them heavily enjoyed and appreciated 💣💥 And that ending Floor-Tuomas playful moment, you mentioned is really priceless ❤️
They did the happiest song from Nightwish. Floor asked, "You feel better?" And then immediately after, they did the saddest song. The Poet And The Pendulum. It was like a kick in the nuts with that high and then shoot right back down. And then they followed up with Nemo and it was happy again. Like, geez.
The key change is on the album version. The drums and bass came in a bar earlier here in the live version, though, whereas on the album they came in at the same time as the key change. So glad to see this song, as it was never part of the setlist when I saw them live!
This was my pre-Harvest happy song, one of my early favourites. They have so much great songs, for all kind of moods, I can't choose anymore, love them all. Whatever song you pick for next week, it will be awesome. And I Hope.... but you know that ;-)
For some reason I rarely seek out listening to Nightwish, but I genuinely enjoy pretty much every song of theirs you react to. Congrats on 40k and keep it rolling. Hope to see 100k sometime in 2021!
This song... Look at the lyrics and you’ll see it’s about remembering those who’ve passed and remembering that we’re all mortal. I’ve had too many friends pass away lately, but this does bring comfort. WE WERE HERE 🤘😎🎸 Thanks for this, Chase 😊 I’d love to see you check out My Walden as it ties in with this song and you really should see Floor’s cover of Let it Go 😁 Have fun!!!
So many folks overlook the amazing musical talent of Troy! This guy can pick up 71 different instruments from bagpipes and flute, to whistles and mandolins and rock out like Jimmy Page on all of them.
I love your reactions. What impresses me most is how you're able to note "opportunities for improvement" in so easy going a way. I don't care for reactors that don't go "hm" when they see/hear something isn't "quite right".
Ahhh Chase, thank you my good man :-) To say I had a garbage week is an understatement and me looking forward to Wed. and Sat to see yourself and Tank "doing the damn thing" ;-) was key for me. Think I'm off to watch the Wacken or Wimbley concert again for a pick me up! Respect and appreciation from Canada again.
This was a fun one. So happy you did this. And congrats on 40k, more than deserved. An thanks for teaching me to listen NW differently after all these years. I thought I knew these songs, nope.
The key change was deliberate. ;) It's like that in the studio version too. I don't know much about music theory, but I do know that this key change makes the second part of the chorus sound even brighter and more energetic than it usually does. 🥰
That last note you were talking about Chase was not accidental because it is the same on the studio track :) guess Tuomas threw it in there as a surprise like we know he is fond of doing :)
It's such a great song. Whenever I feel less this song kicks my ass in happy mode. Or at least gets my gears moving! Again nice reaction Chase always a pleasure to see you enjoying yourself!
Thank you for another great reaction Chase! It's crazy how much I've learned from every little pause and explanation you made. I feel that I can appreciate Nightwish in a different way now after 12+ years of listening to them. I can't thank you enough!
You want Troy led live piece? Last Of The Wilds live from Wacken. It’s instrumental, unique for Nightwish live, but it’s all Troy. With a fire intro from him! Extremely honourable mentions: My Walden/While Your Lips Are Still Red live from Wembley 2015 (I personally think you should do them as one video as they pair extremely well together in the set being back to back. Would also be a very unique reaction.) The Carpenter live in Buenos Aires 2018 (Troy on mostly lead vocals in place of Tuomas’ originals from way back) And this one will seem weird since you’ve done the song, but consider the Wembley version of The Greatest Show on earth. The mix on Troy’s vocals is much better, as well as the camera work and editing to make it more apparent he’s involved. Also, the reworked intro with Troy on guitar is stunning. The Tampere performance is great, and I enjoyed your look at it, but this version is just supremely underrated and no one ever reacts to it. Must make this clear too, this series is phenomenal. The analysis of music I’ve loved so much for so long is very appreciated. Watching you experience it for the first time each week is also a treat. Thanks for a much needed, lovely distraction from what has been an otherwise depressing year. Please keep helping make music even more fun for everyone good sir!
Credit to Chase's feeling and knowledge of music: this is the 4th Nightwish video I'm watching in a row, and everytime he pauses and reverts to the beginning just the very second before the first verse. Identifying the duration of a song intro: check.
If you want more Troy then My Walden is an obvious choice for the next song. But if you want to move a little further away from the Nightwish sound you know and towards a different Nightwish sound then the acoustic version of How's the Heart is worth considering. That is Troy on acoustic guitar and Floor of vocals and nothing else.
This is definitely a feel good song. Floor is absolutely right about that one. Song makes you feel good, seeing the band having the time of their life makes you feel good. And after this uplifting, positive song, what song was next on the setlist? That's right, Poet and the Pendulum. Maybe their darkest and serious song of their discography. Just find that a bit "funny".
Trying hard to figure why the two thumbs down. Is the pause too long perhaps? Is it an anxiety attack thinking about the intro music? Are they perhaps feeling cheated that they did not get here first? Ah I know, its his right index finger when he pretends to be left handed - I say FAKE You practiced this pose before Chaseface, this is NOT a first time pose.😲

One thing I absolutely enjoy about Chase reactions is the joy on his face when he hears something he likes, like a kid in a candy store with cash
😂 🍬💸
This song was before the poet and the pendulum on the setlist thus Floor going to Tuomas in the end of the song and singing "conquering the darkest places" for him! :) Just a little detail to add.

I would agree.
Beat me to it
I'll third that. Love it
On the album I thought my CD was broken and had skipped ahead. :-)
And it's placed right in a phrase too, totally unexpected.

the music of this song is very strong and uplifting nature some whimsical and mystical elements quite divine
18:14 it's deliberate, they also do it on the studio version
4 (or 5) pauses before the singing part.....I like this guy!!
⏸️🙋🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
"We were here" became "I was there" :-) Well worth the drive to London to see this show. What a great night out.
I have tix to upcoming London show, hope it will be as epic! 👌👌👌

Definitely need to check out My Walden from Wembley next week... More from Troy, also from Endless Forms Most Beautiful, quite folk-y
Oh yes, please!!! One of my favorites, Troy is amazing🤩!
Why not the official video from Tampere? I think that one is great! 😁
Ay, yes to My Walden, but please from Tampere!
Good suggestion. Also, there's a reference to My Walden in the chorus of Alpenglow

Also what is great is that it not only connects to that but ties together almost all of the songs on the album, at least all the nature-themed ones.
If anyone ever deserved 40K subscribers it is you Chase for what you do and what you are as a person. Sincerely.
🥳🥳🥳 Thank you!
Chase... Look at the last interaction there with Floor, and Tuomas, the words in the song, and then reflect that this is the song just before Poet...
Oh! The look on her face as she sings to him "conquering the darkest places!"
You are so right!
Her vocal skills are astounding, but it is her passion and emotion in what she sings that truly makes her great.

The thing about Nightwish, is that from 1 song to the next, the songs are so different, can't get bored.

*Troy/Marko Song For Next Week - While Your Lips Are Still Red - Live @ Wembley*
Great song when we got to hear it
That "jarring" change has actually always been played that way. I like the way it gives you this little kick in the stomach (in the best possible way). Uhh... no, I'm not a musical masochist...
My Walden live at Tampere is a good Troy-heavy song...he even does a couple of lead vocal pieces in it.
agreed. Especially Tampere version, the folky songs are more lyrical in Tampere versions
Yes!!!
Blind key change where the band didn't lead floor into it. She just had to hit it blindly at the same time as them. Magicians!
The part where they change key in the middle of the chorus is the best thing ever! xD The reason I was here is to see his reaction... ^^
For more Troy, you can also check out "The Carpenter" from the Buenos Aires concert. It's a song from way back in the first album, and Troy takes over for Tuomas, who actually sang the male lead originally.
This song.....this song just makes you feel great 😊
Beautifull song....amazing Nightwish....the queen Floor Jansen Nightwish Army🔥🤘
"What's your favourite Nightwish song?"
"Yes"
The only possible reaction
10th Man Down (Buenos Aires) is a must! An old song reimagined.
While Your Lips Are Still Red from Wembley 2015. Marko vocals and Troy playing some beautiful sounds on guitar.
It 'was' deliberate, Chase...it 'was'!
Pause. Nightwish doing Nightwish things. Unpause. Pause. Troy. Unpause. Pause. Magic. Magic exists, change my mind. Unpause. ...Pause....Palm-muting...Unpause...Pause...Pause.
Love your reviews. I swear you have 5 ears. No clue how you hear all that you do.
Wonderful comment 😍👍😊
That key change is my favorite part of the song. Amazing reaction, Chase. As usual. Cheers!

I'm going to say that it was a deliberate key change, based upon the fact that Floor was right on the note when the change occurred...if it had been an accidental slide, there would have been SOME kind of hint of that with Floor's vocals.
Last of the Wilds - Troy takes the lead in this instrumental piece, likely right up your alley!
Excellent reaction video! Loved this song.
Nice to see that interaction of Floor and Tuomas near the end of the song. Chase, did you notice what she was singing to Tuomas at 19:35? Do you know what was the next song in the set? Coincidence?
You're right.. I've never seen Tuomas smile so much as he does since Floor joined. Chemistry.. it's there.
Nightwish on my birthday? The perfect present!
Happy Birthday! 🥳🥳🥳
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday. (my daughters too, she's 45)

Thanks Chase! As the winner of the air drum kit I can tell you it has been driving my neighbours crazy this last month and a half almost. They got particularly annoyed over X-mas when I drummed along to the entire Tampere and Wembley shows but I told them to direct all their complaints to you. Hope you don't mind ;)
I had to look up the word Alpenglow when I first heard this song. It makes the song even more impressive.
Love the foreshadowing of The Greatest Show on Earth with the graphic and lyric "We were here"
Chase, for something Troy dominant, please react to 'Last of the Wilds' , it's soooo good!! :)
I started watching your channel after recently stumbling across your collab with Julia Nilon, and hoooly crap, and I glad I did.

Your reactions are so wonderful, and it's truly a joy to see you nerd out or look at the camera with a "did that really just happen" face. Thank you for making these awesome videos.

They knew exactly what they were doing, playing such an upbeat, happy song right before the most intensely emotional song in the set. Also, for more Troy, "My Walden" from the Wembley show is also Troy-heavy and absolutely delightful.
Troy is a musician you don't notice singing and don't notice playing like in this song, until you hear it without him..
I was actually at that show and Oh my god it was the best night ever!!
This is a great song. Happy, loud but the singing makes it a kind of gentle. Musical there is more into it than you think first time hearing. One of my NW favourits.

1st pause @0:53, 2nd pause @0:27, 3rd pause @0:53... We're never getting through this song and I'm lovin' it.
My idea exactly. I love it how Chase manages to make a video from under 5 minutes to last for over 20. I'm a fan.
Great analysis as always.

This song... Look at the lyrics and you’ll see it’s about remembering those who’ve passed and remembering that we’re all mortal. I’ve had too many friends pass away lately, but this does bring comfort.
WE WERE HERE 🤘😎🎸
Thanks for this, Chase 😊
I’d love to see you check out My Walden as it ties in with this song and you really should see Floor’s cover of Let it Go 😁
Have fun!!!
Another great reaction from the king 👑 of pauses. Keep up the good work, you are damn good at it. 👍

So many folks overlook the amazing musical talent of Troy! This guy can pick up 71 different instruments from bagpipes and flute, to whistles and mandolins and rock out like Jimmy Page on all of them.
Shoutout for ‘We Were Here’!
SHOUT OUT!!!
I love your reactions. What impresses me most is how you're able to note "opportunities for improvement" in so easy going a way. I don't care for reactors that don't go "hm" when they see/hear something isn't "quite right".
Fun fact, they played Poet and the Pedulum right after this one. Bring the mood up, then bring it waaaaay down haha
Ahhh Chase, thank you my good man :-) To say I had a garbage week is an understatement and me looking forward to Wed. and Sat to see yourself and Tank "doing the damn thing" ;-) was key for me. Think I'm off to watch the Wacken or Wimbley concert again for a pick me up!
Respect and appreciation from Canada again.
Empu gave the gesture to Troy because Troy messed up (but corrected fast).
This was a fun one. So happy you did this. And congrats on 40k, more than deserved. An thanks for teaching me to listen NW differently after all these years. I thought I knew these songs, nope.
The key change was deliberate. ;) It's like that in the studio version too.
I don't know much about music theory, but I do know that this key change makes the second part of the chorus sound even brighter and more energetic than it usually does. 🥰
That last note you were talking about Chase was not accidental because it is the same on the studio track :) guess Tuomas threw it in there as a surprise like we know he is fond of doing :)
It's such a great song. Whenever I feel less this song kicks my ass in happy mode. Or at least gets my gears moving! Again nice reaction Chase always a pleasure to see you enjoying yourself!
Thank you for another great reaction Chase! It's crazy how much I've learned from every little pause and explanation you made. I feel that I can appreciate Nightwish in a different way now after 12+ years of listening to them. I can't thank you enough!
Thank you for the pause appreciation! ⏸️⏸️⏸️😂
You want Troy led live piece? Last Of The Wilds live from Wacken. It’s instrumental, unique for Nightwish live, but it’s all Troy. With a fire intro from him!
Extremely honourable mentions:
My Walden/While Your Lips Are Still Red live from Wembley 2015 (I personally think you should do them as one video as they pair extremely well together in the set being back to back. Would also be a very unique reaction.)
The Carpenter live in Buenos Aires 2018 (Troy on mostly lead vocals in place of Tuomas’ originals from way back)
And this one will seem weird since you’ve done the song, but consider the Wembley version of The Greatest Show on earth. The mix on Troy’s vocals is much better, as well as the camera work and editing to make it more apparent he’s involved. Also, the reworked intro with Troy on guitar is stunning. The Tampere performance is great, and I enjoyed your look at it, but this version is just supremely underrated and no one ever reacts to it.
Must make this clear too, this series is phenomenal. The analysis of music I’ve loved so much for so long is very appreciated. Watching you experience it for the first time each week is also a treat. Thanks for a much needed, lovely distraction from what has been an otherwise depressing year. Please keep helping make music even more fun for everyone good sir!
This is one of their more mellow songs. 🤩
A perfect opportunity to experience Troy's ''hidden'' fluut talents.🤔
Credit to Chase's feeling and knowledge of music: this is the 4th Nightwish video I'm watching in a row, and everytime he pauses and reverts to the beginning just the very second before the first verse.
Identifying the duration of a song intro: check.
I always thought that key change was fully intentional. At least I always heard it that way.
If you want more Troy then My Walden is an obvious choice for the next song. But if you want to move a little further away from the Nightwish sound you know and towards a different Nightwish sound then the acoustic version of How's the Heart is worth considering. That is Troy on acoustic guitar and Floor of vocals and nothing else.
He actually already did that when he did a double video for the lyric and live versions, but you’re not wrong 😊
@@parrotheadlasvegas My mistake, I watch too many reactions, if that is possible, and mixed them up.
I'm surprised you didn't catch Troy squeaking the note when he came in with the whistle and Emppu reacting to it with a gesture.
Nightwis doin Nightwish-things. ☝️
This is definitely a feel good song. Floor is absolutely right about that one. Song makes you feel good, seeing the band having the time of their life makes you feel good. And after this uplifting, positive song, what song was next on the setlist? That's right, Poet and the Pendulum. Maybe their darkest and serious song of their discography. Just find that a bit "funny".
