Such an underated song. Not all reactors get to this one. I really enjoy it. Lots of the symphonic elements in this one. Also lots of fun to play the drums too! As always, enjoy your enthusiasm when you listen to a Nighwish song 🤘😂🐈🐈🐈
That's why it so cool you do the Buenos Aires concert - lots of songs that you haven't heard before - oldies, but goodies. Floor and NW did a great job bringing these back to life and live.
Troy was playing the Low Whistle he also plays a Tin Whistle in other songs , the way you can tell the difference is the low whistle is larger in size with a deeper sound and the Tin Whistle is smaller in size with a higher pitch .
Great composition as always with Nightwish, but this one is one of those prime examples of the illustrative power Floor has in her voice and performance. I personally really like this concert especially as a performance even though it has some of the less known older and more niche metal genre songs.
You feel young listening to " Everdream"..you ARE young..very young...This is an old geezers perspectiv of young...I'm feeling younger sometimes listening to Nightwish.. Cheers from Sweden.
Wonderful reaction Nikki. Epicness right there on that stage. Nightwish Buenos Aires 2018 where Floor looking and sounding stunning breathed new life in to a number of Nightwish classics that pre-date her time with the band and made them her own. 🙏😊👍❤️
Something that you should know about FLOOR JANSEN. She started singing in a symphonic metal band at just 16 years old. After Forever (1995-2009). Then she created a new Progressive Metal band, ReVamp (2009-2016). In 2018 she released a personal Hard Rock project (Northward). In 2012, she was invited by Nightwish to finish their world tour, after the band's second female singer (Annete Olzon) left. In 2013 she became Nightwish's full time lead Vocalist. She is a singing teacher. She sings in Dutch, German, English, Spanish, Finnish, Swedish, Italian and Latin. She sings Heavy Metal, Trash Metal, Pop, Rock, Symphonic Metal, Arya and Opera. She even sang rap. In March 2023 she launched her first Pop solo album "Paragon". THE BEST SINGER TODAY IN THE WHOLE WORLD. Having said that, I want to make it clear that I ADORE Nightwish songs, Walking in The Air by Tarja Turunen and Meadows of heaven by Anette Olzon.
As a piano teacher i also love the keyboard bit. Very classical 😊 The lyrics is poetry for NW. You take according to your life and situation and thats why i love them. Im not much of a lyric follower. I mainly listen to the musicality. NW has everything for everyone for every level of listeners. 😊
If you want a festive song you could do Nightwish - "walking in the air", It was originally from the cartoon The Snowman which is a just about a Christmas tradition in the UK and Europe as it is shown every year. Tuomas took inspiration for the Imaginaerum album (mainly Storytime) from this cartoon. Marko and Floor have done some for Raskasta Joulua (Heavy Christmas) concert Tarja also does Christmas songs, she has a Dark Christmas album out now.
I love when reactors get around to this song. It's a little obscure since it's not on the big 3 concerts. It's really old, too, and it's more like symphonic prog. By the way, the only members of the band remaining from the original recording are Tuomas and Emppu.
I love Love LOVE Nightwish Wednesdays. This song shows their progressive rock side, which I dig. The lyric evaluation you read made me think of this old song by Stryper called "I Believe in You" where Stryper is obviously singing about the Lord, because ....well Stryper... but the lyrics could TOTALLY be about a girl too.
Yeah, Tuomas grew up loosely as a Christian and so some of the older Nightwish lyrics have references to this. At some point he distanced himself from religion and now considers himself secular, hence the subject matters of the two most recent albums. Just look at Weak Fantasy and Tribal, which are scathing commentaries on Christianity and religion in general, and of course the main theme of those albums being Evolution, particularly inspired by Professor Richard Dawkins.
Great reaction to a great song. This Tarja era classic is one of my alltime favourites of all Nightwish-songs. From the time I discovered the band back in -98. I am once again asking you to listen that original version on your own. That is amazing too.
I love Ever dream as well, even after hundred of times listening to it…that is a sign of a great song, when it is not boring after many times listen to it.
This one was an old Tarja era song. Great one Nikki! That is called a low whistle. You get it. Poetic verse is right up your alley. Open to multiple meanings depending on the perspective.
I told you that some songs will positively surprise you ;) I love this concert. Wacken remains unbeaten (I was there), but this one comes in 2nd with Tampere.
One of mr favourite songs in the musical Jesus Christ Superstar (JCS) is Gethsemane with the very famous Ted Neely who played Jesus almost his entire carrière. You should check it out. JCS was written by the same duo who wrote the Phantom of the Opera that was covered by Nightwish several times, with Tarja and with Floor.
Although Tuomas has alot of references to his own beliefs in religion and his love for old fairytales,disney and such. I feel like i know him well enough,to think that he leaves most of his lyrics up for interpretation from others. And he is good at that,giving a song multiple meanings. Ever Dream is a diamond alright,i always love to watch reactors expecting a slow song when they get it suggested for the first time,and then it just escalates throughout the song.
Conception have a song of the same name, though a very different song, but I recommend you check them out. I can't wait for you to have Roy Khan's voice in your life! Conception and Kamelot are amazing!
I remember that nightwish concert I believe you reacted to it big firework show at the end and someone was reading a poem that had alot of philosophy. It was about children that could be but will never be so I do think they lean more to philosophy than religion. A very good song pic enjoyed your reaction to it wonderful job
It's a great and underrated song. Another of Tuomas' early songs about Jesus. Later in this concert you will get to The Carpenter. Originally sung by Tuomas' and Tarja, in this performance will give Troy a chance to show his vocal prowess.
the garden of gethsemane is where Jesus went o pray and ended up being betrayed by Judas Iscariot a little history but it is a good song and sounds so good nice showcase rock and metal and contemporary and quite versatile singer too nice synth work and piano such geniuses they are
2:35 No you didn't. Floor did. Remember, English is not her native language, and the 'th' sound doesn't exist in most others. She sounds kind of Irish at times, especially when it comes to 'u' and 'th'. Her sister however speaks with an impeccable RP. You'll probably hear it soon if you continue reacting to Ayreon.😉 She got to use her classical voice here for a brief moment. Nice to hear, it has been sort of neglected since 2015. It's funny how Tuomas went from Christian-themed songs to becoming a true believer in $cience and fighting against the evil Christian monster that's as good as dead anyway.😂
Sure hope Nikki reads your comment. OTOH, it's not Floortje's fault (of course), that the English language (a poor residue of the once so great ancient Frisian, old low Saxon tongues, tainted by these stuck up proto-French invaders) ehm.. yes, that today's English doesn't match Floor's epic pronunciation here 😉 I mean, she really sells it: GET semane, right now! But yes, Irene is the master and Ayreon is the way forward. So here's my pledge: I'll keep suggesting "The Two Gates" with the best band introduction ever done on a live stage, until Nikki is ready to react to that masterpiece. Ergo: "Ayreon - The Two Gates (Universe) TRANSCRIPT + LYRICS IN SUBS"
@@BrendonChase_2015 Thanks for the clarification. I stand corrected. Of course, the English language is just a mix of Dutch and badly mispronounced French. (That should've been Belgian, but eh, it doesn't exist.) Somehow it managed to preserve this archaic "th" sound that all the more advanced languages got rid of long ago. The Irish did a great job at it too, tanks for dat. Now, de English are getting rid of it as well, replacing it wiv d,t,f,v which I fink is really cool. Dey're also restoring de propa French pronunciation by dropping de 'h'. Oo needs dat anyway. It's only de Americans dat cannot catch up wiv everyone else. No surprise dere.😁
I just noticed that you have not reacted to Ronnie James Dio and so you have probably never heard him sing? That is something you really need to correct. He isn't called "The Voice of Rock" without any reason. So please check out either Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell or Rainbow - Stargazer
Such an underated song. Not all reactors get to this one. I really enjoy it. Lots of the symphonic elements in this one. Also lots of fun to play the drums too! As always, enjoy your enthusiasm when you listen to a Nighwish song 🤘😂🐈🐈🐈
One of my favourites
Everything is top notch
🔥💜🤘💜🔥
Unfortunately somehow underrated song ...
For me masterpiece 🔥
For me a deceptive masterpiece capped off with magic from Emppu.
One of my favourite old school Nightwish songs 😊
One of the bests, amazing lyrics. So poethic
That's why it so cool you do the Buenos Aires concert - lots of songs that you haven't heard before - oldies, but goodies. Floor and NW did a great job bringing these back to life and live.
Very nice, Gorgeous Nikki

the music in this Masterpiece is one of the best ever, thank you Tuomas🙏
Gethsemane was my NW favorite song for a while... specially the outro, IT´S OUTSTANDING!!
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘Yes, a beautiful song, isn't it Nikki!?
Love your reaktion :)
You feel young listening to " Everdream"..you ARE young..very young...This is an old geezers perspectiv of young...I'm feeling younger sometimes listening to Nightwish.. Cheers from Sweden.
Had this as a ringtone on my previous phone 😊
How fun!
Fits with another song of that concert called "The Carpenter" 😉
Hi Nikki GREAT to see you again! Keep going!! 👍👍🤘🤘👋👋

I need to look into her older bands some more. I do like what I've hear of them but so far nothing has struck me like Nightwish has! 😉
Awesome as always Nikki. I know what you mean about Everdream, it's still my favorite song after all these years. Happy holidays to you and yours 🤗
Always really appreciate Emppu's playing on this track!
Absolutely love this song - well its Nightwish so no surprise really - always fun to watch your reactions, your enthusiasm is infectious 🤘
As a piano teacher i also love the keyboard bit. Very classical 😊

Agreed 100% 🙏😊👍❤️
They know how to build drama.
Another great Nightwish Wednesday, Nikki! 👍 🤘🤟
Just curious, which version of "Ever Dream" have you been listening to? 🤔
It's amazing how the took a Biblical name or story that was of sadness and make it so beautiful! Then again it is Nightwish!🎼🌹
SUCH a great song and performance!!!!!
👍👍

Marko and Floor have done some for Raskasta Joulua (Heavy Christmas) concert
Tarja also does Christmas songs, she has a Dark Christmas album out now.
I was going to suggest this one too. Here is the live version with Tarja: ua-cam.com/video/9icKP1b44TA/v-deo.html

The "Garden of Gethsemane", is where JESUS was arrested, which was a Dark moment in time....
As a music lover in general, for some religious rock I recommend you check out a band called Petra. They have some really great songs...
Hm I never heard of them before. I'll have to give them a listen. 🤔 Thanks!
I love Love LOVE Nightwish Wednesdays. This song shows their progressive rock side, which I dig.

It's so good!
Written by Tuomas when he was 21 (let that one sink in). Oceanborn is a fantastic album

Great reaction. Check out the Wembley version as well, Troy is adorable there introducing the song
Gethsemane isn't played at Wembley
NWA🇫🇮🤘👍😎🥀
It's a great and underrated song. Another of Tuomas' early songs about Jesus.

Very good interpretation of the intentions of Tuomas, the composer….
🐕
Is the dog emoji a thumbs up, Mega?! Still waiting for an email... don't worry about my heavily armed beau... he's not YT jealous!

Have you see Marcelas version
Sorry but the best version is Tarja's
Tarja diehards won’t like this. I prefer Floors renditions, but I also prefer the Andra Ariadna cover. Sound out Andra.
🇬🇧 Norfolk reports for duty 😊 one of my many favourites
Troy on his low whistle, my favourite line “ without you the poetry within me is dead “
