I'm listening to Nightwish since the late 90's, since Tarja. They always had a special place in my heart but with Floor this feeling intensified. It feels for me like she has been the missing link. She's so perfect for the band and the music. She's special and we're so lucky to have her!
Floor the last piece on the puzzle called Nightwish. I give Tarja all honor for being the one to bring out this genre in Finland and Annette to as great female vocalist to be keep their world conquering journey among metal heads...
I love when Dominika says " i dont know how to explain it " after perfectly explaining it . Floor is the most captivating Frontperson since Elvis and thats just my personal opinion . You should do a reaction from the recent " HELLFEST 2022 " show ......start with the opening song " Noise" just to see how the band and floor sound today . And you guys dont talk too much .....your great !!
You're so right about Floor and Nightwish. It's a match made in Heaven. We're all so lucky that circumstances brought together this perfect marriage. And watching them at Hellfest, they are absolutely at the top of their game right now.
Recommendation: Watch 'Floor Jansen Rock Academy Reunion' The video with Finnish & English subtitles. It's a shorter 16 minute version of the original, concentrating on Floor. Floor had just recovered from burnout when she got the call from Nightwish, the rest is history. She had 48 hours to join Nightwish, to fly to the US and to learn the setlist. Had they called her a couple of months earlier, she might have said NO. Her parents were at the Tampere 2015 concert, they share their thoughts in this video.
I concur! Title to search for: "Floor Jansen in Dutch show Reunion (Tampere 2015)". There's another version of this lovely reportage that is horribly out of sync, but this is the good one. Highly recommended!
I see it similar. Floor for me is the very best due to a lot of reasons (emotions, smiling, open arms, power, vocals, clothes, stage presence, open arms, meet my heart immediately), Floor and NW is perfection on the very highest level IMO.
Floor is a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and it comes across as being a positive effect for her ability to put so much emotion in her songs that we all feel it. 😄🤘
I agree the song is so short , I could have listened to that song for another 5 minutes at least! What it is, is that while you are watching/listening to Nightwish, time seems to slow down. I have heard so many 'reactors' say that a certain song is over too soon...and yet some songs are 10 minutes plus!
I'm gonna have to recommend you let Floor Introduce you to another amazing singer and friend, Simone Simmons. Check out Epica - Sancta Terra live with Floor. You will smile from ear to ear.
A beautiful reaction to a song that is so lovely. Floor is amazing but with Nightwish she is amplified through the wonderful music that surrounds her. Tuomas is a genius and composes with such brilliance. All of the Nightwish musicians blend so well together and the songs have such variety that it takes a special person to be their front person. Floor has such vocal range that she can do any type of music but her stage presence and command of the crowd is what brings that extra level of joy to the audience and to the band.
95% is Tuomas. Floor is his best interpreter in general. Almost anything she sings becomes hers. Floor has incredibly long arms so that embrace of the suddenness is visually greatly enhanced by yhst. The other thing about Floor is that she becomes whoever she needs to be for the song. By the way, Dominika's pronunciation of Tarja IS the correct one. The J is pronounced as a Y. Another thing Dominika said that struck me: her relationship with Nightwish has become personal. Yes, that's what happens with this band. I stayed to the end and no, you don't talk too much. I enjoy your conversations.

She is a Vocal Sorceress 😍 ❤. She puts a spell on you and touches your soul ✨. She is the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy 😇 😍 ✨ ❤ Hail Nightwish 😇 😇 😇 Ghost Love Score is Floor's favourite 😍😍😍
I completely understand and agree with what you said. Everyone in nightwish are special & FLOOR just gives you that bit extra. You don't just listen to NIGHTWISH you FEEL AND EXPERIENCE nightwish. This is just my opinion no other BAND gives me that feeling. Talk as much as you like because it's heartfelt and honest. Thanks guys
You definitely have to see this song played at Tampere. It’s more epic and the camera work focuses on Floor at the right moments. Floor and Nightwish just complement each other in an amazing way 💥💥💥💥💥💥
Dominika.. I think you got Tarja 's name as close as possible for been a foreigner. Of course you can both talk all you have to say - It's a REACTION by definition, i thought. You are doing a great job!
One of the early Songs, it is about the solar eclips "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). 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+
Definitely check out the original music video for this song with Tarja on vocals.No need to make it a video just enjoy the moment because this is one of the few songs that I personally like Tarja more than Floor.
It's a reaction. You're supposed to talk about it. 😉 You both do a great job at conveying your thoughts about what you hear and how it makes you feel. Keep it up!
You two are funny. Do you want to say something? No. Start the music. Are you sure you don't want to say something? Yes. Start the music. 3 minutes later you start the music. Makes me laugh. I am enjoying your journey into Nightwish.
I love you folks and you do not talk too much! Thank you g]for sharing your hearts to our hearts from Nightwish' hearts. You have become my very favorite reactors. Please don't stop!
I understood what you were trying to say, about how it’s more than her voice. Floor is an empath, and Tuomas’ lyrics area very introspective. She is able to feel the emotions he puts into the lyrics, and she feels them as she sings the song…and she is able to express those emotions out to the listener, which is why you feel the songs as well as hear them. Not many singers can do that. And yes, the only thing wrong with this song is that it’s too short.
@Zozo D I agree 100%. For me there is one other singer that has the same ability to convey the emotions to the audience: Lara Fabian. @Merchant of Alba If you feel like it, check her out, the music is beautiful. But be aware that your comments will be flooded with suggestions, because she has a fanbase as dedicated as Nightwish's 🤗.
I love your Nightwish reactions ! I enjoy every single one and can't wait for the next ... I think you are ready for "The greatest show on earth" My personal favorite. :)
You two are so sweet I can't help but stay to the end! I love Nightwish with Floor as you do, but just like there is something special about their music, there is something special about the way you express your feelings about their music. Don't worry about talking too much. That is what makes this channel so great.
"We talk to much." No. If I want to hear Nightwish I'll pick a concert and just let it play. I'm watching your channel because I like watching your journey into this band. I love Nightwish. I enjoy sharing your excitement for each song.
When Nightwish fell into my lap or should I say into my ears. I had a reaction like how you conveyed in this reaction. You’re not alone with your both feelings. I’m a 50 yr old man that sheds a tear here and there listening to Floor and the band around her very often. Somehow this beautiful talented singer absolutely can find a way to touch my heart. No band on this planet has taken me down like that. Her stage presence her inviting personality opens up to you to show you her soul each and every performance and or song. Yes she has to be one of the most down to earth person that gives the feelings of knowing her for some unbelievable reason. I also dunno how to explain it too. Plain and simple, Floor is AMAZING! And Nightwish has gone to a whole new level to the world stage because of her
Floor is home at Nightwish. And she is a great Storyteller. She really tells a story with every song.....weaving in her magic into these great pieces of music.....perfect combination. That is the power of Nightwish. - Tuomas writes a masterpiece, deep from the bottom of his heart. - Everyone in the band dedicates him, or herself completely to it and breathes real life into it. - Floor comes, rips your heart out, shatters it to pieces and you are thankful for it, because it all is so beautiful. Floor gets me almost every time, with almost anything she sings. With Nightwish, this intensifies greatly, because Tuomas is a true genius and they all play, as if they are one, to make it perfect. Ohhh..and one thing - keep talking....thats why we are here....although we really like the songs....we kind of know them already ...it is interesting to hear what other people feel while hearing them.....it gives us the little chance to live again through that wonderful first time when we heard them for the first time..... All Hail Queen Floor !
Very funny to watch your conversation… 🏆 You are right - the reason for the magic is: it’s pure music from very talented musicians‼️ Floor is the Queen we know that all. Toumas is a genius - also known. But the other members are also fantastic - that together will made it…. I realized you did only 12 songs…. that’s very good 👍 a lot more is in the pipeline 😎 And‼️The best songs are still in front of you… 🏆
I see so many reaction to Nightwish from you. You both are brillant in your analysis, thank you for this. One thing, Floors Voice is the 6. instrument from Nightwish.
This song was written to celebrate the European eclipse of the sun in August 1999. Beautiful insight Dominika! When Floor opens her arms, she gives you a big hug and invites us all in to be a part of the show. This was a Tarja era song. However, Floor loves this song and requested that this song be included in the Nightwish set. Floor has an amazing talent for making every song perfect for her to sing. Both of you are really beginning to understand how emotionally powerful and beautiful Tuomas' compositions are combined with Floor's amazing vocals and stage presence. Yes, over too soon. What a sad and disappointed face Dominika? One of the shorter Nightwish songs. It works well as a little break in the energy of a live show. The live experience of Nightwish really brings this music to life and elevates it to a whole new level. Please don't worry about talking too much. We love hearing how Nightwish music affects you in a deeper level. Also how you are really starting to understand the attraction to this band from an emotional and deeply personal perspective. Check out more of Floor's videos on her YT channel and you will grow to love her on a very personal level. She loves singing, her fans, and is very involved in using her talents to promote wonderful causes. She created and sang a song to raise money for the "Children of War", a Dutch charity organization. Hope to see you both again very soon. I really enjoy your reaction videos! 🙏🙏
I feel exactly the same Dominica while listening to Floor . And I also can not expres it precisly with.the right wurds , especialy not in Englisch being not my first language. I think for me soothing is the wurd that comes close to what I feel., she soohts and comforts me with her voice , while on the other side she amazes me when she growls or sings heavier 😅 But in this song and like in Shoemaker or Procession she calms me down . Those last two songs or from their latest album ,.I hope one day you two react to those songs to . For now keep on reacting and please talk all you want , you have one fan here 👍 Oh one more thing , video's of Floor at home or where ever else she is are always a pleasure and joy to watch , she's so fun to follow and realy such a beautyfull person ❤
I have completely the same feelings about Floor in Nightwish. I like her solo stuff, but when she’s in Nightwish it’s something special and magical, it’s impossible to explain but it’s just that. Like she’s destined for this music. Tuomas is my hero for sure, I adore all his music, I recommend to check out Auri and his solo project also about Scrooge
Released as a single in 1999 for the total eclipse of the sun in Aug of that year. Floor's version is awesome, but the original with Tarja is just as good. '222 days of Light' , it was 222 days between Jan 1 and the eclipse on Aug 11. Their second album, Oceanborn, was reissued with this song added. It's a 4 minute song, it just feels short. lol. All their songs feel shorter than they actually are. Dominika, I don't get lyrics on the first listen most of the time either. Music and the sound of the vocals first, lyrics later.
Check also Tampere version 👍 It's my favorite ❤️ You defenetly should see them live 🤟 I also recommend their documentaries. Some reactors have made reactions of those, it's fun to see also 👍
Tuomas very rarely makes songs on request. "Sleeping Sun" is one, another would be "Kiss, While Your Lips Are Still Red" and the third would be "Lohtu". "Sleeping Sun" has already been introduced on behalf of others here. I would like to mention that it hit a very early moment in the band's career. Only 2 albums done and they were only young twenties. And then already Tuomas received an order from Germany. The record company trusted him strongly and he did make a good song. It's still one of the best ballads I've heard. "Kiss, While Your Lips Are Still Red" was made into a movie. The song "Lohtu" was made in 2017. Its purpose was to raise money for a new children's hospital. If you want to make a video of it, I will attach a link with English texts as well. Tuomas composed and wrote the song, except for the rap part at the end. The song features a large number of Finnish pop and rock musicians, even a dancer sings (Jorma Uotinen) and the famous Finnish violinist Pekka Kuusisto is also included. You might need tissues while listening to that... ua-cam.com/video/7HHyp8PwLdU/v-deo.html I'm waiting and hoping that one day Tuomas will be able to compose the background music for an entire film. I would go see that movie if only to hear Tuomas' music....
In my own Nightwish journey, it was this song that convinced me of the power of Tuomas' compositions since I've heard Sleeping Sun performed by all three singers. Every time it gets to the phrase 'To last for a lifetime' in the chorus my chest swells up like I'm about to cry. I believe it's the melody that does it, but I'll say it's more pronounced with Floor. There's an empathy in her interpretations of this and many other older songs that is just magical. Thanks for another wonderful reaction!
I love these two so much🤭 how he's quiet but sometimes playful and how she's all bubbly and also funny 💖 When it comes to the song, this is one of the very few where I love both, Tarja and Floor's versions, they're different, yet very similar, like Dominika said, soothing, charming and beautiful
Nightwish is magical. When fans watch reactions, it's not just for the song...we are reliving those overwhelming feelings we all had the first listen. Love watching you guys! And I always watch til the end!
This was my first nightwish song i heard,now i am addicted to them,going in november to a concert in Antwerp. Please listen ti the poet and the pandulum,wembley,its magic🥰
This song was written for the solar eclipse of 1999, the same one for which the 2000 lei banknote was issued in Romania with the transparent "eclipse" window.
Tuomas' compositions + Floor's singing = magic. There are a lot of bands that have tried the same concept as Nightwish but haven't succeeded. They may have had some really talented musicians and singers. But they are missing that "golden finger", Tuomas Holopainen. Sometimes it feels like Tuomas and King Midas have something in common - the golden touch, everything they touch turns to gold.
I guess Dominika is watching Floor's storytime video's, They are very nice and give a good look at how she is in real life, just a nice beautiful soul and very down to earth woman. Floor also has a video of her telling that she is High Sensitive, and explains that how she sings has a lot to do with that and give you the feeling you have when you hear her sing
Very well said. They came out when most of us were in lockdown and they remain one of the high points of that period for me. She created cover songs and filmed her Storytime videos and held 'fan Friday' sessions most weeks. I feel she made a positive contribution to what was a harrowing time for a lot of people. Such a kind hearted, decent person.
Please, don't stop talking! Your interactions, insights and thoughts about the songs are perfect! And I agree with silver black... I love when Dominika says "I don't know how to explain it" after perfectly explaining the feeling! lol And I agree too that you should react to the Hellfest 2022 Nightwish show (one or two songs at a time). NW doesn't have Marko now, but Jukka (new session bassist) is killing it and Troy is doing a fine job taking over some of Marko's parts. And NW is better than ever!!!!
Everdream, on repeat! I've said it before, but I believe ALL of this band are "highly sensitive people", Floor has said so, Tuomas behaves like it in his documentary, they really feel the music and are very good at expressing it to us. Lots more to discover, have you had a look at FloorWorld yet?
great reaction, big feelings while watching you discovering Nightwish the only thing i would like to say is, that Toumas/Nightwish has always, from the very beginning until today, no matter which front woman sang, to translate the deep emotions from the soul into music and to press them mercilessly into your ears so that the whole body reacts with goosebumps etc I would love to see you reacting to old Nightwish too, "The Pharaoh sails to orion" live 2001 and "Beauty *of* the Beast" (studioversion) would be nice and i am 100% sure you will love them too
You expressed exactly what all the Nightwish armies see, hear and feel when they are performing. They are truely a spectacularly outstanding group. Thank you MerchantOfAlba
you may want to check out the same song from End of an Era with original lead singer Tarja. This is really her song. Also she did a blue grass version of the song with Steven Seagulls. very different and still very wonderful.
And you could absolutely react to something non music videos/live shows and also something much longer. Why stop there, do movies. You 2 will be fun to watch no matter what you react to.
This is one of a few songs where I prefer Tarja's version over Floor. Her intonation makes her version unique. Tarja's version is what introduced me to Nightwish over 11 years ago so it holds a special place in my heart. I really hope the two of you check out Tarja's version. There are two different music videos Nightwish made of this song with Tarja. I also really like her version at the End of An Era Concert, which was Tarja's last concert with the band.
Dominika, you pronounced Tarja's name well. I have once discussed the pronunciation of Finnish names with a Serbian girl making a video reaction. I said that the English Y roughly corresponds to the Finnish letter J. And she replied that it is the same in the Serbian language! Since both the Serbian language and the Polish language belong to the Slavic language family, could it be that the Polish language would have the same thing? If so, then all Finns with the letter J in their name will make it easier for you. Names like Jukka, Tarja, Jarkko, etc
I'm listening to Nightwish since the late 90's, since Tarja. They always had a special place in my heart but with Floor this feeling intensified. It feels for me like she has been the missing link. She's so perfect for the band and the music. She's special and we're so lucky to have her!
Floor the last piece on the puzzle called Nightwish.
I give Tarja all honor for being the one to bring out this genre in Finland and Annette to as great female vocalist to be keep their world conquering journey among metal heads...
I concur
I love when Dominika says " i dont know how to explain it " after perfectly explaining it .
Floor is the most captivating Frontperson since Elvis and thats just my personal opinion .
You should do a reaction from the recent " HELLFEST 2022 " show ......start with the opening song " Noise" just to see how the band and floor sound today .
And you guys dont talk too much .....your great !!
Second the recommendation for Hellfest 2022.
You two had tears in your eyes listening to this wonderful song and I had, too. Thank you for another great reaction.
Ditto
You're so right about Floor and Nightwish. It's a match made in Heaven. We're all so lucky that circumstances brought together this perfect marriage. And watching them at Hellfest, they are absolutely at the top of their game right now.
Floor doesn't just sing with her body but she sings with her soul.
Recommendation: Watch 'Floor Jansen Rock Academy Reunion'
The video with Finnish & English subtitles. It's a shorter 16 minute version of the original, concentrating on Floor.
Floor had just recovered from burnout when she got the call from Nightwish, the rest is history. She had 48 hours to join Nightwish, to fly to the US and to learn the setlist. Had they called her a couple of months earlier, she might have said NO. Her parents were at the Tampere 2015 concert, they share their thoughts in this video.
I concur! Title to search for: "Floor Jansen in Dutch show Reunion (Tampere 2015)". There's another version of this lovely reportage that is horribly out of sync, but this is the good one. Highly recommended!
That was a sob fest. It was well done and seeing her upset makes me upset, because of the kind person she is.
Tuomas wrote this in celebration of the Solar Eclipse. And when Floor sings this song, it's magical!
I see it similar. Floor for me is the very best due to a lot of reasons (emotions, smiling, open arms, power, vocals, clothes, stage presence, open arms, meet my heart immediately), Floor and NW is perfection on the very highest level IMO.
Floor is a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and it comes across as being a positive effect for her ability to put so much emotion in her songs that we all feel it. 😄🤘
I agree the song is so short , I could have listened to that song for another 5 minutes at least! What it is, is that while you are watching/listening to Nightwish, time seems to slow down. I have heard so many 'reactors' say that a certain song is over too soon...and yet some songs are 10 minutes plus!
Watch sleeping sun at Tampere. Floor is standing on an elevated platform surrounded by Nightwishes home crowd. It's beautiful!
I'm gonna have to recommend you let Floor Introduce you to another amazing singer and friend, Simone Simmons. Check out Epica - Sancta Terra live with Floor. You will smile from ear to ear.
Yes please
I agree
A must 🎸🤩
You're both amazing people, love to listen your thoughts etc. Getting from Poland!! 🇵🇱💪
When I was like 10 feet from her last Spring I too couldn't make words for the entire concert! 😭😭😭💕💕🤌🤌
A beautiful reaction to a song that is so lovely. Floor is amazing but with Nightwish she is amplified through the wonderful music that surrounds her. Tuomas is a genius and composes with such brilliance. All of the Nightwish musicians blend so well together and the songs have such variety that it takes a special person to be their front person. Floor has such vocal range that she can do any type of music but her stage presence and command of the crowd is what brings that extra level of joy to the audience and to the band.
95% is Tuomas. Floor is his best interpreter in general. Almost anything she sings becomes hers.
Floor has incredibly long arms so that embrace of the suddenness is visually greatly enhanced by yhst. The other thing about Floor is that she becomes whoever she needs to be for the song.
By the way, Dominika's pronunciation of Tarja IS the correct one. The J is pronounced as a Y.
Another thing Dominika said that struck me: her relationship with Nightwish has become personal. Yes, that's what happens with this band.
I stayed to the end and no, you don't talk too much. I enjoy your conversations.
Thank you 😊

She is a Vocal Sorceress 😍 ❤.
She puts a spell on you and touches your soul ✨.
She is the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy 😇 😍 ✨ ❤
Hail Nightwish 😇 😇 😇
Ghost Love Score is Floor's favourite 😍😍😍
Dominica You said name of the first Nightwish singer first name "Tarja" perfect! You used consonant R as us Finns do TaRja👍
Try Sancta Terra from Epica. With Floor as special guest. And of course “Stabat Mater Dolorosa”…. Beautiful!
Toumas writes all the songs and composes everything
Nightwish + Floor = perfection 🤘
P.s. you don't talk too much, and I always stay to the end 👍
Thanks for that 😊
OH NO! IS IT OVER!?!
The perfect reaction to every Nightwish song.
I completely understand and agree with what you said.
Everyone in nightwish are special & FLOOR just gives you that bit extra.
You don't just listen to NIGHTWISH you FEEL AND EXPERIENCE nightwish. This is just my opinion no other BAND gives me that feeling.
Talk as much as you like because it's heartfelt and honest.
Thanks guys
Agreed! Thank you for your comment 😊
7 days to the wolves is an excellent song to react to after this one.its a long way so hurry up.
I am so sad and mad for missing this mesmerizing performance.... in my own country!!!!
Nightwish Army UK popping in for a heartfelt reaction.
You don’t only listen with your ears. You feel it with your heart! You said it so right!
One of best from FIN..and by the way your understand well the music glad you like it
You never talk too much - it's lovely to see and hear you interact with the music and each other.
You definitely have to see this song played at Tampere. It’s more epic and the camera work focuses on Floor at the right moments. Floor and Nightwish just complement each other in an amazing way 💥💥💥💥💥💥
Dominika.. I think you got Tarja 's name as close as possible for been a foreigner. Of course you can both talk all you have to say - It's a REACTION by definition, i thought. You are doing a great job!
Thanks a lot! 😄
If you want to listen again, don't let me hold you back. And I think no one of the NWA will blame you for that, the more the better... 🤘😃🤘
This is one of the first Nightwish performances I had seen. Its completely beautiful.. I feel it so deeply.
One of the early Songs, it is about the solar eclips "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). At that time their german record Label asked to write a song about it.

You two are funny.
Do you want to say something?
No. Start the music.
Are you sure you don't want to say something?
Yes. Start the music.
3 minutes later you start the music.
Makes me laugh. I am enjoying your journey into Nightwish.
I love you folks and you do not talk too much! Thank you g]for sharing your hearts to our hearts from Nightwish' hearts. You have become my very favorite reactors. Please don't stop!
Wow! Thank you so much and more to come! 😍
Suddenly their was an beautiful Angel came out of heaven, spread her sound that's takes you away on a journey above into the blue, blue sky❤
I understood what you were trying to say, about how it’s more than her voice. Floor is an empath, and Tuomas’ lyrics area very introspective. She is able to feel the emotions he puts into the lyrics, and she feels them as she sings the song…and she is able to express those emotions out to the listener, which is why you feel the songs as well as hear them. Not many singers can do that. And yes, the only thing wrong with this song is that it’s too short.
@Zozo D I agree 100%. For me there is one other singer that has the same ability to convey the emotions to the audience: Lara Fabian.
@Merchant of Alba If you feel like it, check her out, the music is beautiful. But be aware that your comments will be flooded with suggestions, because she has a fanbase as dedicated as Nightwish's 🤗.
Floor is a cultural shock to me. Sometimes tears flow. it’s more than singing
You have summarized exactly what we all feel listening to Floor and Nightwish. You should react to their show at Hellfest 2022 in parts.
Thanks, greetings fron Colombia
I love your Nightwish reactions ! I enjoy every single one and can't wait for the next ... I think you are ready for "The greatest show on earth" My personal favorite. :)
Thank you kindly! The Greatest Show on Earth is on our list. We are slowly building up to listen to this one! 😁
Love this reaction. Honest. Deep. Gets directly to the guts of this song!
I love that you talk about how you feel listening to the songs you're reacting to. More than that you are two lovely people so keep going.
Thank you kindly 😊
In my opinion you two could never talk to much 🤗🤗 you are perfect. I will always be here at the end.
Wow! Thank you kindly! 😍
You two are so sweet I can't help but stay to the end! I love Nightwish with Floor as you do, but just like there is something special about their music, there is something special about the way you express your feelings about their music. Don't worry about talking too much. That is what makes this channel so great.
"We talk to much."
No. If I want to hear Nightwish I'll pick a concert and just let it play. I'm watching your channel because I like watching your journey into this band. I love Nightwish. I enjoy sharing your excitement for each song.
When Nightwish fell into my lap or should I say into my ears. I had a reaction like how you conveyed in this reaction. You’re not alone with your both feelings. I’m a 50 yr old man that sheds a tear here and there listening to Floor and the band around her very often. Somehow this beautiful talented singer absolutely can find a way to touch my heart. No band on this planet has taken me down like that. Her stage presence her inviting personality opens up to you to show you her soul each and every performance and or song. Yes she has to be one of the most down to earth person that gives the feelings of knowing her for some unbelievable reason. I also dunno how to explain it too. Plain and simple, Floor is AMAZING! And Nightwish has gone to a whole new level to the world stage because of her
You guys NEVER talk too much.. great reaction, thanks.
"Floor Time" another one to add to the Floor/Nightwish vocabulary. Thank you.
They always leave you wanting more
Haha, your faces when it ended. We've all been there.
It's wonderful to watch your Nightwish journey!
Floor is home at Nightwish. And she is a great Storyteller. She really tells a story with every song.....weaving in her magic into these great pieces of music.....perfect combination.
That is the power of Nightwish. - Tuomas writes a masterpiece, deep from the bottom of his heart. - Everyone in the band dedicates him, or herself completely to it and breathes real life into it. - Floor comes, rips your heart out, shatters it to pieces and you are thankful for it, because it all is so beautiful. Floor gets me almost every time, with almost anything she sings. With Nightwish, this intensifies greatly, because Tuomas is a true genius and they all play, as if they are one, to make it perfect.
Ohhh..and one thing - keep talking....thats why we are here....although we really like the songs....we kind of know them already ...it is interesting to hear what other people feel while hearing them.....it gives us the little chance to live again through that wonderful first time when we heard them for the first time.....
All Hail Queen Floor !
Not too long, believe me! 🤣
You pronounce Tarja perfectly right 💯😌
Such a beautiful voice. She just has so much emotion when she sings. Great reaction thank you for your time and for sharing. Peace to you both.
Very funny to watch your conversation… 🏆
You are right - the reason for the magic is: it’s pure music from very talented musicians‼️
Floor is the Queen we know that all. Toumas is a genius - also known.
But the other members are also fantastic - that together will made it….
I realized you did only 12 songs…. that’s very good 👍 a lot more is in the pipeline 😎
And‼️The best songs are still in front of you… 🏆
You are totally right. You can feel the love coming from this band and Floor transmitting it. It's magical. ❤
She a friend. We never new.
Great lovely DUO, and for me i love this version, similar Tampere version.
I see so many reaction to Nightwish from you. You both are brillant in your analysis, thank you for this. One thing, Floors Voice is the 6. instrument from Nightwish.
Love you guys I always stay to the end. 🇨🇦🇬🇷🇨🇦🇬🇷🇨🇦🇬🇷
I think it's possible to see the comfort of motherly love that Floor has for the fans
This song was written to celebrate the European eclipse of the sun in August 1999. Beautiful insight Dominika! When Floor opens her arms, she gives you a big hug and invites us all in to be a part of the show. This was a Tarja era song. However, Floor loves this song and requested that this song be included in the Nightwish set. Floor has an amazing talent for making every song perfect for her to sing. Both of you are really beginning to understand how emotionally powerful and beautiful Tuomas' compositions are combined with Floor's amazing vocals and stage presence.
Yes, over too soon. What a sad and disappointed face Dominika? One of the shorter Nightwish songs. It works well as a little break in the energy of a live show.
The live experience of Nightwish really brings this music to life and elevates it to a whole new level. Please don't worry about talking too much. We love hearing how Nightwish music affects you in a deeper level. Also how you are really starting to understand the attraction to this band from an emotional and deeply personal perspective.
Check out more of Floor's videos on her YT channel and you will grow to love her on a very personal level. She loves singing, her fans, and is very involved in using her talents to promote wonderful causes. She created and sang a song to raise money for the "Children of War", a Dutch charity organization.
Hope to see you both again very soon. I really enjoy your reaction videos! 🙏🙏
I feel exactly the same Dominica while listening to Floor .
And I also can not expres it precisly with.the right wurds , especialy not in Englisch being not my first language.
I think for me soothing is the wurd that comes close to what I feel., she soohts and comforts me with her voice , while on the other side she amazes me when she growls or sings heavier 😅
But in this song and like in Shoemaker or Procession she calms me down .
Those last two songs or from their latest album ,.I hope one day you two react to those songs to .
For now keep on reacting and please talk all you want , you have one fan here 👍
Oh one more thing , video's of Floor at home or where ever else she is are always a pleasure and joy to watch , she's so fun to follow and realy such a beautyfull person ❤
Need to check out there 2nd singer Annette STORYTIME AND MEDOWS OF HEAVEN AND THE CROW OWL AND DOVE
I have completely the same feelings about Floor in Nightwish. I like her solo stuff, but when she’s in Nightwish it’s something special and magical, it’s impossible to explain but it’s just that. Like she’s destined for this music. Tuomas is my hero for sure, I adore all his music, I recommend to check out Auri and his solo project also about Scrooge
Released as a single in 1999 for the total eclipse of the sun in Aug of that year. Floor's version is awesome, but the original with Tarja is just as good.
'222 days of Light' , it was 222 days between Jan 1 and the eclipse on Aug 11. Their second album, Oceanborn, was reissued with this song added.
It's a 4 minute song, it just feels short. lol. All their songs feel shorter than they actually are.
Dominika, I don't get lyrics on the first listen most of the time either. Music and the sound of the vocals first, lyrics later.
Love Your reaction of Nightwish 🔥💪💚
the end?? we're HERE
You feel over feels :)
Hearing with your Heart! Beautiful! 💌🤟
Check also Tampere version 👍 It's my favorite ❤️
You defenetly should see them live 🤟
I also recommend their documentaries. Some reactors have made reactions of those, it's fun to see also 👍
Tuomas very rarely makes songs on request. "Sleeping Sun" is one, another would be "Kiss, While Your Lips Are Still Red" and the third would be "Lohtu".
"Sleeping Sun" has already been introduced on behalf of others here. I would like to mention that it hit a very early moment in the band's career. Only 2 albums done and they were only young twenties. And then already Tuomas received an order from Germany. The record company trusted him strongly and he did make a good song. It's still one of the best ballads I've heard.
"Kiss, While Your Lips Are Still Red" was made into a movie.
The song "Lohtu" was made in 2017. Its purpose was to raise money for a new children's hospital.
If you want to make a video of it, I will attach a link with English texts as well. Tuomas composed and wrote the song, except for the rap part at the end. The song features a large number of Finnish pop and rock musicians, even a dancer sings (Jorma Uotinen) and the famous Finnish violinist Pekka Kuusisto is also included.
You might need tissues while listening to that...
ua-cam.com/video/7HHyp8PwLdU/v-deo.html
I'm waiting and hoping that one day Tuomas will be able to compose the background music for an entire film.
I would go see that movie if only to hear Tuomas' music....
Nightwish made the film Imaginaerum in 2012. Tuomas wrote the script and also composed the music.
Stayed to the end and enjoyed your back and forth thoughts on the band and the song.
In my own Nightwish journey, it was this song that convinced me of the power of Tuomas' compositions since I've heard Sleeping Sun performed by all three singers. Every time it gets to the phrase 'To last for a lifetime' in the chorus my chest swells up like I'm about to cry. I believe it's the melody that does it, but I'll say it's more pronounced with Floor. There's an empathy in her interpretations of this and many other older songs that is just magical. Thanks for another wonderful reaction!
I love these two so much🤭 how he's quiet but sometimes playful and how she's all bubbly and also funny 💖
When it comes to the song, this is one of the very few where I love both, Tarja and Floor's versions, they're different, yet very similar, like Dominika said, soothing, charming and beautiful
A lovely reaction❤️
this is how a Queen turns out to be a Goddess
Nightwish is magical. When fans watch reactions, it's not just for the song...we are reliving those overwhelming feelings we all had the first listen. Love watching you guys!
And I always watch til the end!
Thank you so much! 😍
This was my first nightwish song i heard,now i am addicted to them,going in november to a concert in Antwerp.
Please listen ti the poet and the pandulum,wembley,its magic🥰
This is definitely on our list and we heard it's going to be epic!
Its not only a great song,its also number one art.
Soooo beautiful ❣️
This song was written for the solar eclipse of 1999, the same one for which the 2000 lei banknote was issued in Romania with the transparent "eclipse" window.
Tuomas' compositions + Floor's singing = magic.
There are a lot of bands that have tried the same concept as Nightwish but haven't succeeded. They may have had some really talented musicians and singers. But they are missing that "golden finger", Tuomas Holopainen. Sometimes it feels like Tuomas and King Midas have something in common - the golden touch, everything they touch turns to gold.
another great reaction. Nightwish's music consumes me since the first time i heard them
Your feelings about Nightwish are the same for me. I also think NW is a way of life
I guess Dominika is watching Floor's storytime video's, They are very nice and give a good look at how she is in real life, just a nice beautiful soul and very down to earth woman. Floor also has a video of her telling that she is High Sensitive, and explains that how she sings has a lot to do with that and give you the feeling you have when you hear her sing
Very well said. They came out when most of us were in lockdown and they remain one of the high points of that period for me. She created cover songs and filmed her Storytime videos and held 'fan Friday' sessions most weeks. I feel she made a positive contribution to what was a harrowing time for a lot of people. Such a kind hearted, decent person.
Do you remember in which video Floor talked about being high sensitive? I know I've watched it, but I can't find it anymore.
Please, don't stop talking! Your interactions, insights and thoughts about the songs are perfect!
And I agree with silver black... I love when Dominika says "I don't know how to explain it" after perfectly explaining the feeling! lol
And I agree too that you should react to the Hellfest 2022 Nightwish show (one or two songs at a time). NW doesn't have Marko now, but Jukka (new session bassist) is killing it and Troy is doing a fine job taking over some of Marko's parts. And NW is better than ever!!!!
Everdream, on repeat!
I've said it before, but I believe ALL of this band are "highly sensitive people",
Floor has said so, Tuomas behaves like it in his documentary, they really feel the music and are very good at expressing it to us.
Lots more to discover, have you had a look at FloorWorld yet?
Yes, we had a little peak and we're loving the experience!
great reaction, big feelings while watching you discovering Nightwish
the only thing i would like to say is, that Toumas/Nightwish has always, from the very beginning until today, no matter which front woman sang, to translate the deep emotions from the soul into music and to press them mercilessly into your ears so that the whole body reacts with goosebumps etc
I would love to see you reacting to old Nightwish too, "The Pharaoh sails to orion" live 2001 and "Beauty *of* the Beast" (studioversion) would be nice and i am 100% sure you will love them too
You expressed exactly what all the Nightwish armies see, hear and feel when they are performing. They are truely a spectacularly outstanding group. Thank you MerchantOfAlba
you may want to check out the same song from End of an Era with original lead singer Tarja. This is really her song. Also she did a blue grass version of the song with Steven Seagulls. very different and still very wonderful.
I stayed to the end because I like your way of reacting, you seem to like not only Nightwish but also each other, don’t change! 💛 💙
Thank you ☺️
One of their quieter songs. A classic. So beautiful :-)
And you could absolutely react to something non music videos/live shows and also something much longer. Why stop there, do movies. You 2 will be fun to watch no matter what you react to.
This is one of a few songs where I prefer Tarja's version over Floor. Her intonation makes her version unique. Tarja's version is what introduced me to Nightwish over 11 years ago so it holds a special place in my heart. I really hope the two of you check out Tarja's version. There are two different music videos Nightwish made of this song with Tarja. I also really like her version at the End of An Era Concert, which was Tarja's last concert with the band.
Dominika, you pronounced Tarja's name well. I have once discussed the pronunciation of Finnish names with a Serbian girl making a video reaction. I said that the English Y roughly corresponds to the Finnish letter J. And she replied that it is the same in the Serbian language! Since both the Serbian language and the Polish language belong to the Slavic language family, could it be that the Polish language would have the same thing? If so, then all Finns with the letter J in their name will make it easier for you. Names like Jukka, Tarja, Jarkko, etc
You are correct, Polish and Serbian are the same in that regard. R's are also similar to Finnish pronunciation in both languages.
Yep, that's correct! And thank you for that. How you explained it, makes it much easier. 😊
