I`m a proud finn and when i hear Nightwish i get double proud. I live in Sweden and i can really say that i am proud to have Floor living in this country. I love her to bits. Great reaction. Thank you. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.
Yup, I consider her an honorary swede, and I hope she stays here forever 😁 If aliens landed here, and said "take us to your leader" I'd show them the Tampere version of The Greatest Show On Earth, and say "well, there she is!" 😆 They'd stutter something about cancelling their invasion plans, and then leave as fast as they arrived.
@@vogel2280 Thanks 😁Some of my favorite bands and artists come from The Netherlands, like Epica, Within Temptation, Delain, Arjen Anthony Lucassen, and Anneke van Giersbergen. Simone Simons and Floor are good friends, and both amazing singers, as are Sharon den Adel and Charlotte Wessels. There has to be a lot of metals in the water in The Netherlands, Finland, and Japan.
I have listened to this song countless times....and the day my 90 year old mother passed away....I must have listened to this song to help ease the pain of her passing. She is in a better place now, no pain, with my father and all of our family members that have passed. Floor and all the members of Nightwish, now and before, have to be some of the most talented musicians I have seen and listened to in my life. In the USA, everyone is obsessed with rap and pop music, that is auto tuned, and / or lip synced...nothing real! Nightwish is 99% of what I listen to...and you don't get tired of listening to them either!
Floor is using the fan to keep her makeup stay consistent, during the show. She becomes pretty hot during a 2 hour performance. And the hair / wind effect also. The song is about the solar eclipse in 1999. And the Tampere 2015 version are even more spectacular - Floor going down the catwalk singing...
Ok ....please allow me to give you some infos on that song....... first: one of the rare songs that was performed by all three vocalists. second: one of the rare songs that does not base on an idea of Tuomas. in 1999 Tuomas was asked by his label (Drakkar Records) to write a song about the total eclipse of the sun in 1999. They asked him: Please not longer than 3mins (radio-friendly). Tuomas did it in nearly 4:30mins. third : Total eclipse of the sun occured in 1999 over northern Europe with its peak of 2:23sec in Romania.......once in a lifetime.... That was at the 11th aug 1999 (223rd day of the year).....222 days of light will be desired by a night....... Fun fact: there had been 3 Concorde aircraft in the air who followed the shadow and enlarged the time for the passengers to nearly 15mins. For me personally: I will never forget that magic moment.....seemed the earth stands still...total silence......even the birds were quiet.....magical. Its a magical song with a great solo of Emppu...showing his masterclass ..... Bringing variations of the theme and adding his own notes in full harmony with the theme.....expressing great emotions with quite few notes........simply but perfectly performed....... And don`t ask me about the GODDESS performing it........... Simply BRILLIANT.
There was a REALLY emotional moment on the last tour when they played their first show of the european leg after Floors breast cancer surgery. They had it on the setlist and Floor could not finish the last note because she got so emotional about it. She then turned around and buried her face in a towel, Jukki, their new bassist went to her checking in if she was alright and Empuu the guitarist obviously also had to wipe away some tears himself. And Toumas from above behind the keyboards gave a little extra applause right in Floors direction to cheer her up again. Really goes to show this is not just a 'working group'.
Antwerp Belgium...was there...loads of people, including myself, broke down in tears right alongside her. I've never been in a crowd where there was so much love... They are special man... band AND fans...❤
One of the early Songs, it is about the solar eclipse "two hundred and twenty two days of light will be desired by the night". Because that's the amount of time that went by before the eclipse (11th of August was the 223rd day of the year 1999). At that time their german record Label asked to write a song about it. One of the terms was "not longer than 3 minutes", Knowing Tuomas, he made it 4+ But it's also true that everyone has a different view of this song. Usually something they have experienced themselves.
For many this song was the first introduction to Nightwish back in the late 90's. Radio stations played this all the time and I'd say it still is one of the most played Nightwish songs in Finland.
This is such an amazing and simple ballad that Floor just absolutely rips your heart out with. Marko was amazing on bass, Empuu was so spot on with the little solo, and Tuomas so delicate on the keys. My favorite version by far.
The fan is not only vor the blowing hair in the wind, but the stage smoke is also bad for the lungs and rather smelly has one artist explained! It doesn't make singing any easier, either.
GP; with Foor and Nightwish, it is what it is and you have to deal with it. They are simply the best. Cannot help it myself. Carry on GP; still a long way to go with this band. Greetings from The Netherlands.
Yup she's an angel & Valkyrie rolled into one once in a lifetime vocal singularity, responsible for several Big Bangs on stage. Not a suggestion for a reaction, but there's a more recent version with Floor performing right after her cancer surgery. Just to show the heart wrenching vulnerability of this formidable stage general: "Nightwish - Sleeping Sun (emotional Floor at the end) Antwerp, 20 november 2022". Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘 EDIT: if you like your Floor stripped down every once in a while, I have a great reaction suggestion for you. A ballad I personally like a bit better than this one: "After Forever - Eccentric Live at Pinkpop Festival (2004)". Check my comment under that vid (sort: "newest first") for the transl. of Floor's intro.
I understand what you mean. Halo’s music was so awesome! I didn’t play that so much myself, but was always happy when my husband played it! Just kept my eyes shut and listened to that beautiful music. And of course, NW is just pure magic!
Great Tarja era song, but our Valkyrie Goddess just oozes Epicness and emotions in this one. Sleeping Sun was launched on 11th of August 1999, the same day with the solar eclipse which occurred in part of Europe and Asia that year. Now if you take the exact verses which contain "222" you have: 222 days of light will be desired by the night. coincidence or not, there are exactly 222 days starting 1st of January till August 10th inclusive. - valid for non-leap years. NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.
Just Floor doing Floor things. A simple message that touches the heart in ways that we don't understand. The next solar eclipse on April 24th is passing directly over my part of the world and I plan on queuing this song for the totality.
I was briefly exposed to Nightwish in the late nineties but they fell off my radar. Fast forward to 2021, and I saw a multi-reaction to Ghost Love Score Wakken 2013, and was hooked. I've listened to all 3 vocalists but find myself drawn more to Floor. However each singer "owns" certain songs. For example Floor's version of Sleeping Sun is lovely, but Tarja's live version on End of an Era shakes my soul. Ghost Love Score is clearly Floor's now.
Haven't you heard, Floor don't need no fans blowing. The wind follows her 😉. It's actually a saying in the Nightwish army. As for the next song, Endless Forms Most Beautiful from Wembley 🤘🤘🤘
I love Floor's version of this song. However, I couldn't find her version on my streaming service, which led me to discover the amazing rabbit hole that is Dan Vasc. He is a metal singer who covers all genres of music, bringing incredible vocal talent, and inspired arrangements. His "Sleeping Sun" is beautiful.
Pure Sorcery. Floor is an enchantress - she draws you in, enthralls and seduces you. The whole band is incredible .... they make me grin like a maniac one minute, then bring tears to my eyes the next. Tuomas is a genius of epic proportions, and in Floor (along with the rest of the band) he has the perfect tool to manifest his vision and present something truly extraordinary. Floor is a transcendent talent and the band are all masterful musicians. A synergistic glory that is, put simply, PERFECT !!
I absolutely love Floor singing this, i recommend also checking out one of the original videos featuring Tarja on vocals. It is cinematic, beautiful, the video portrays a medieval battle. Seriously, its gorgeous...again, I truly adore Floor (our valkyrie goddess), and think she's an awesome and perfect fit with Nightwish, but Tarja did hit notes that Floor just can't in this song.
@ilkkak3065 thank you, but to clarify I said "one of"...As in, it was one of the official music videos as opposed to the live version, I apologize if I was not clear enough for you. Splitting hairs aside, it is a stellar video.
Floor needs flowing hair! An old joke is that the floor fan was the first Floor fan! And when she realizes the fan is not flowing.... (Pinkpop 2004) ua-cam.com/video/5wBIeYpL7mQ/v-deo.html
So Mr GP42 - you must have now reached the point where you really have no idea where the next Nightwish song you react to will take you - what twist will they spring on you - what vocal you will get - what instrumentation. Each song really is a step in to the unknown, and end up being comforted as a friend.
Floor wants a fan on stage because she just gets warm and not because of the looks. And, of course, she doesn't get any problems with her eyes. If it bothers her, she just walks away from it. She's not nailed to this point. 🙄
Hi there great reaction again I'd love to see your reaction to the original version with Tarja I like all the singers of NW at each time in evolving, unfortunately Anette wasn't as good live and Floor is the best ever Don't mean you to compare different singers to other singers of course, but Floor is one of a kind Greetings from Sweden
@@GP42Reacts I’ll try again now. So I just got up to date with all your reactions to Nightwish, loved them all! 😄 Excited for more. Checked on your channel. Can’t see you have done any Electric Callboy. Have you heard of them? If not. Check out Hypa Hypa, and the music video. I promise it will be worth it. I know you love live ones. And they kick ass live too. But the video is perfect. 😎
@@GP42Reacts nope. I tried again. And the comment is gone. What about: loved NW reactions. Keep them coming. Check out electric Callboy with Hypa Hypa (music video). They are good live too. But the music video is awesome.

Floor recorded a track on Final Fantasy Cristal Chronicles titled Sound of the wind.
Oh he should check that one out! :D
I think I've heard this song 400 times and it just keep getting better and better for each time.
For many this song was the first introduction to Nightwish back in the late 90's. Radio stations played this all the time and I'd say it still is one of the most played Nightwish songs in Finland.
This is such an amazing and simple ballad that Floor just absolutely rips your heart out with. Marko was amazing on bass, Empuu was so spot on with the little solo, and Tuomas so delicate on the keys. My favorite version by far.
The main purpose of her fan is to keep her makeup from running in the hot stage lights.
The blowing hair is an added bonus.
The only singer whose shoulders you can admire.
Definitely not the only one, but she sure is in good shape.
this is how a Queen turns out to be a Goddess
You need some Nightwish - Sahara. Live at Tampa. Go go go Hahahahaha
No matter what, she makes my heart smile. This melody though is one of the most gorgeous melodies i have heard.
Caution! Godess on stage 🤘❤🤘
The fan is to keep stage smoke away and keep her makeup dry.
Her hair defies gravity of its own accord.
The fan is not only vor the blowing hair in the wind, but the stage smoke is also bad for the lungs and rather smelly has one artist explained! It doesn't make singing any easier, either.
Apparently also to ensure her makeup stays on under the often hot lighting. 🙋♀️💕
A Tuomas masterpiece! Slayed by Floor!🤘🎸
The song is slow and soft but still Floor makes my brain shudder.
GP; with Foor and Nightwish, it is what it is and you have to deal with it. They are simply the best. Cannot help it myself. Carry on GP; still a long way to go with this band. Greetings from The Netherlands.
I will absolutely be playing this April 8th! I am right in the totality path of the eclipse!😁😁😁😁

Good one.
the fan is more used for her make-up to NOT flow down :)
the hair is a bonus
Nightwish Army south Brittany France reporting.
This version by Floor is beautiful but the song will always remain Tarjas
Floor has always had a fan blowing in her face, even back when she sang in After Forever and ReVamp. I have to assume it is by her own choice :)
Great Tarja era song, but our Valkyrie Goddess just oozes Epicness and emotions in this one.
