I will so be there for the Bday party. And I know exactly what Wolfkain is talking about with the frustration. I sometimes stop and take that frustration and try and create something to show them what I am seeing or talking about so in a way they can see it. Oh if the AC is dying then if its just not cooling as it should then it could just need to be recharged with new refrigerant gas. Sometimes it is far cheaper to do that than many would think. Has to be done by a licensed professional as they can properly dispose of the old refrigerant gas.
Sistah: When Floor says "Kiitos," it is simply Finnish for "thank you." In one of the early concerts, before joining Nightwish full time, she said it in Dutch first, and then in Finnish -- which, when she said it, impressed Tuomas so much he gave her a thumbs-up. But no -- "Kiitos" simply means "thank you." You asked, I figured I could clear up that bit of mystery, since I've watched many interview videos, and have picked up a bit of Finnish simply because they speak it during those interviews.
Im from Norway and ive listened to Nightwish since i was about 13 years old. Im proud of what Nightwish has become, i might be an ass when i say that i lost connection with them when Anette was in the band and i didnt hear them untill about 2016 again. 3 year after they had a new singer. Floor. Anette and Nightwish at the time gave me nothing and had me loosing interest instantly. But hell, its one of the greatest band on earth 2019 today.
As a Finn you have a lot to be proud of when it comes to great Metal! In my opinion Finland is the greatest Metal factory in the World. Greatings from Sweden.....in second place....
@@j.v.r.1981- Someone mentioned that Floor is not that well known in Netherlands outside of Metal circles. Meanig that metal music fans know her but that's pretty much it. Is that true?
Floor doesnt do opera as well as tarja, and doesnt do pop as well as annette... but she does BOTH extremely well, which is something the others couldnt really manage. I love that floor can do justice to the entire nightwish catalog, while still maintaining her own unique sound for new songs. All 3 eras in 1 show? Sign me up
I keep saying it. Nightwish, is not just a band. Not just a concert. Nightwish is a journey. Nightwish is an experience. Nightwish is a dream emporium. WE WERE HERE.
@@MrEnsiferum77 Sorry but no, Floor is probably one of the best singers in the world, if not the best, Tarja is just pure opera, Floor can sing everything. I love Tarja, but i'm not a fanboy, she's not even close to be as good as Floor is.
@@MrEnsiferum77 You are only for yourself the center of the universe. Not for everyone. So you can't make the rules for all of us. In my humble opinion Floor is a far better match to the range of Toumas compositions then Tarja. I like her voice and she is great, but for this band Floor is just better.
@@MrEnsiferum77 I'm sorry but again, no. Maybe for you who doesn't understand music Nightwish was better with Tarja, but for us, it's a lot better with Floor, too bad that we don't share opinions, but your opinion doesn't matter at all, because you're not the keeper of truth or something like that, so in your opinion is bad, in our opinion is great. So stfu and let us enjoy this band without your salty comments, if you don't like Nightwish with Floor i don't know what the hell are you doing watching a reaction video with her, you must be really salty and your life so sad that you need to share your shit with people that don't even care about your opinion.
I have ticket to Nightwish concert it's "secret consert" and I have already see that band 4 times and what more the better it feels. I think Nightwish is the best band ever in that planet - and I know all their songs. The soul of band is TUOMAS
we fucked up and will have destroyed our planet in a couple of years or decades just to be able to eat meat and have some comfort. so yeah, defiant may be most fitting term. the potential humanity has had was probably huge but we spat on it. Maybe we were some kind of alpha or beta test for an alien software called life. When we will have disappeared the program may be going to be fixed. In the next version brutality, martiality, inhumanity, archaics, racism, xenophobia, speciecism and so on will hopefully be gone.
@jay fine No. I believe there's evolutionary reasons for why we want to help each other. Love itself is the magnetic force that perpetuates our species. We aren't the best animal in all honesty - no fur, no claws, can't run very fast (as evidenced by Scotland's football team) What we DO have is a superior brain - we solve problems WAY better than any other animal ... and we have a social mentality ...together we stand, divided we fall. That's consistent with other ape species. Especially chimps. Look at the moon landing ... that's the result of a social mentality. Religion is an unfortunate bi-product of our problem-solving brains. Fervour and decisiveness are a boon to an animal in the wild - where "safe, not sorry" is often an instant life-saving decision, but poison to a reasoning person in the 21st century. Religion is always merely a primitive story invented to describe the deep emotions that need explaining. It's never a good attempt.
@jay fine Goodness, justice, and the likes of those are man made "inventions" but it has nothing to do with religion ( at least if we are talking about the creation of those things...but using those ideas , can be a religious thing ). Technically existence is amoral as you said, the things InjusticeHater listed ( and many more ) are just labels that we created so we could turn into civilized beings ( at least in our own eyes ), but whos to say whats normal and what is not. Think about it, who would say that X. person is inhumane? Said person or the one who is suffering or feels offended by the actions of person X. , who and how would solve a situation like this without said labels. Lets say im stronger than you, im capable of killing you without any problem and you have something that i really want and probably wont ever have on my own because im not as smart as you or something like that....why wouldnt i just kill you and take your stuff? Because im capable of killing you and taking your stuff, i have the "right" to do so. These labels meant to restrain the strong and give power to the weak, essentially before the strong ones could've killed all the "earners", and because humans were/are living in groups we need both, so we can operate as a group...so we created different laws, rules, later on ideas, terms, etc. to keep up the group ( humanity, our civilization, you name it as you want ). Of course the moment these things were created everyone tried to gain a little more than the others, weaker ones, stronger ones, everyone and essentially this is how religion was born ( among a lot of other things )...to exploit/rule the weaker ones by the idea of teaching them or forcing them to be "good"' "lawful" etc. Maybe religion itself was really a pure thing at first ( the fear of the unknown, known as death, is not as terrifying when people do believe in rebirth or some sort of afterlife ), but it was eploited pretty quickly. We are just like other animals, but we evolved to a point, where we, being different form each other is a problem, and the more evolved we are, the more problems we will have. I dont know if this rant is understandable enough, english isnt my first language, but technically i wanted to say, you can force religion into anything, but it does not mean that an atheist would find said concept meaningless only because it can be interpreted as something religious.
@jay fine Actually, existence and the prospect for it, is not amoral. Our future and progressive evolution depends on us working out how not to destroy either ourselves or the planet - the essence of science and atheism. The evidence provided by history demonstrates that religion contributes little to 'morality' and plenty towards our mutual destruction. A current example is the USA today; as it becomes progressively more militantly religious so it appears to become more destructive to both the environment and those living on earth.
@jay fine I dont really understand what do you mean by "There is no valid fundamental argument within atheism to preach or require any “good” of others." Being "good" or "bad" is just an idea based on a fundamentally flawed concept ( because of the fact that are all different and we will act/think/see things differently ). But just because i dont believe or agree with this concept the way, lets say a christian would, i do understand it, i do know it exists, i do know how it works, i know how religious people will see it, i even live by these ideas. Even an atheist will live by these concepts to a point, because its required to do so, if youre living in a society. This is why i dont understand your question, because "good" and "evil" is not a religious thing, they are just using it as a tool.
Floor is the bridge that connects us to Tuomas' vision and creativity. The band plays and sets the stage. And Floor leafs us by the hand down that path. Theres never enough Nightwish.
When she sang ‘Shallow’ on TV, I said Floor is like Mother Earth, she can sing hard and loud like a thunderstorm, but also soft and delicate like a sweet summer’s day. You can’t describe Floor in one word. She is almost other worldly. I’m so happy she found her home in Nightwish.
I liked Nightwish's music back in the beginning, but for some reason Tarjas voice rubbed me the wrong way. When Anette joined I totally tuned out and didn't listen to them until a few months ago when I stumbled upon the Wacken 2013 show, and Floor just blew my mind! It's like she and Nightwish were made for eachother. Her talent, range and charisma really raises the songs to levels her predecessors never could, and I love it!
That attitude of not minding to say anything confrontational with the utmost confidence that the facts are on your side is what I enjoy seeing in people who really do have the facts by their side. It's ultimately just a matter of being not only straight forward but honest about it. That's why people like Christopher Hitchens, Aron Ra and of course, Richard Dawkins keep winning my respect over and over again. They prove their own honesty and their opponents dishonesty at the same time.
Dawkins is very close minded and is even criticized by many in the scientific community for making atheism, not science, into a religion. I respect him as a scientist and I like how he dismantles religious fanatics but it is in conversations with moderate religious persons where he falls flat. He does not and will never understand that for a lot of people science and religion do not compete. They are on different layers. He doesn’t understand that people’s minds can be and sometimes should be paradox. There is nothing wrong about it. The way I believe doesn’t interfere with my desire to understand how physics and the universe work. Not every religious person beliefs that his faith is the only true faith or that it is the whole truth. Religion is not much different to philosophy. It’s a set of ethics, a way to interpret human contact. Unless you’re a fanatic fundamentalist you don’t believe that religion is „The Truth“.
Richard Dawkins made the mistake of starting to argue with idiots. Whenever you argue with idiots, they drive you nuts and you'll inevitably say something that makes people think you're an ass. But he's less of an ass, than anyone who doesn't even argue with christians, creationists and flat-earthers, because they don't even give a shit. At least he cares enough to try. At the cost of his own mental health...
@@robertschneider8808 Science is reason. Religion is irrational. There is no other way to look at it. No, they are simply incompatible to anyone who is rational. There is no paradox, simply an unwillingness to let go of the irrational. Yes, there is something wrong with it. It does interfere because inevitably you will be confronted by something in science that is incompatible with your religion, and you will be forced to choose between rational thought and irrational. They you aren't actually religious. Religion is nothing like philosophy. Religion has nothing to do with ethics or human contact. If you don't believe your religion is truth, then you aren't actually religious. You are clinging to nonsense because...
Yep, that’s a snippet of Metallica in there, and a few bars before was a snippet of classical, it represents the creative evolution of man, and is very cool :)
They actually start from baroque music, though the classical period (I think it is Bach), Metallica's Enter Sandman, and even a few electronic beats. This is a very deliberate and brilliantly performed piece of musical humour, to represent the evolution of music in the 40 seconds or so.
That was the beginning of J. S. Bach's Fugue in d minor. Arguably one of his most famous and popular pieces, even though most people probably mostly recognize the Toccata that's usually played before this part.
HOLD ON.... what the hell was that?? I have never been this mindblown by a reaction ever! To be honest no amount of words will suffice. This wasn't a reaction, this was a **PRODUCTION** done with the utmost of respect to its subject. HalfLifeSistah, WolfKain, you guys get it. You have set the bar to an unreachable height. To commit to a reaction the length of a Hollywood feature film is intense, not only that but to follow a similar structure as well, intro, opening comments, buildup, reaction, analysis and so forth.. is an astronomical feat, this reaction itself tells a story. Your attention to the details and things that most don't pick out in this masterpiece is to be commended. There is so much to say about this reaction, unfortunately it could never quantify the effort and love you put into this **MASTERPIECE** of a reaction. I subscribed quite some time ago... I only wish I could again... or in some way give back for what you have done here. That was absolutely STUNNING. As Trinx pointed out in the comments below.. this truly is ***The Greatest Reaction on Earth*** :) Thank you SO MUCH!
@@xashfordx She's more capable than Tarja and Anette put together, not much more growing to do. Floor is a _very_ experienced singer, she's sang in several metal bands, she's sang opera and rock and everything in between.
Your presentation, on the song and lyrical analysis is better than any documentary, on the history channel. So much work and effort put into this, thank you so much for doing this song justice..
The way she touches Emppu's shoulder like that speaks of love, He touched her arm like that earlier at wembley, I effing love that Emphaty between the whole band ❤🌹💕💖
Everyone loves Emppu. He was also Anette's best pal in the band (and already before she joined). No matter how serious and dark the song is Emppu always smiles (in some music videos he manages to keep serious face).
And at the end she puts her arm around Tuomas and is smiling at him. Also love her facial and vocal expression on "Enter... Life". Markos expression at the end when he gives the thumbs-up is just angelic.
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. THIS IS A GREATEST REACTION OF EARTH FOR THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH. ... Holy hell guys! Kudos and thanks for the feelings! You done a wonderful job! Next High Hopes please ... and maybe Yours is an Empty Hope?
Mother of God is holy indeed. Though only after her son made her holy. And hell in all it's horror is in fact holy. Tells about the justice of God. Though God don't want hell to anybody - but there's no option if we don't accept the invitation to Heaven.
You Tube surprised me, I never heard of this group. But I thank the Gods that I know who they are now! The include Opera, Classical Rock, Heavy Metal, Pop, Damn all I can say is DAMN!!!!!!!!
Some will call me a lunatic, but this is I think third time I'm watching you guys analyse this song. Not only because there's so much to digest, or because I am a Nightwish fan boy (well I am very much but shush!), but also how genuine you guys are with your reactions and emotions. This channel is so underrated and I'm so glad I found it!
Seeing you react to this song means the world to me. I am a scientist (currently finishing my PhD). This song is everything to me. This is how I feel in my daily life working with the miraculous creatures of the Earth: bio, physics, mathematics, genetics, doing lab work and sifting through data... I'm a Naturalistic Pagan which means my spirituality is rooted in the observable, verifiable Universe. This fuels my research and also adds value to my daily life. This is a wonderful tribute to the Greatest Show on Earth which, in the human-centric view, is the story of our own evolution.
Waiting this so much...Thank You Sistah and Wolf to doing this.👊 Not only reaction's but really great review's. LOVE You guy's..Masterpiece of Tuomas Holopainen. His Ode to the Life Itself...❤
Just been listening to this song on the album with decent headphones on and that section where you hear the 'journey through music'... It starts on the right speaker with a tribe dancing around a fire, that moves to the left, then there's like a medieval gregorian chant that moves to the right, then there's Renaissance - what sounds like a Lute that goes into the harpsichord part, then the women singing but i don't know what that represents. Then the band kicks in again and do the classical Baroque 'bach-like' part, then there's a banjo, then there's a brass instrument on the left side that joins in, then it's the Enter Sandman riff on the right and finally an electronic dance music type kick drum that leads into the chorus. Pretty certain that's all of it, really cool! Also, the "We were here" part, each time she sings 'We were here' there are more people added in the background so the last one is a huge crowd chanting it. It blows my mind how many of these beautiful little touches they put in their music that can easily go unnoticed. This is why Nightwish are my favourite band... Because even after years, i'll find something i didn't notice before or find some crazy little detail that gives a song more depth than i thought it had.
Kiitos = Thank you 😘 I LOVE you two !! Music creates so much to this world , love , pain, happiness , sadness, but also gives us hope and comfort 😍 This Song includes so much. Tuomas is a genious !! He once said that Nightwish is Image of his soul.. What a beautiful soul we have there 💕 There is so much beautiful details about evolution on this Song. I was blown away when I realized how ingenious this is 😘
Tuomas is one of a kind...Musical genius and deep deep person too. You're on point. I think too Nightwish really is His journey to heart, mind and soul...And what a journey it has been. I only ride along and enjoy. Beautiful word's Miia ❤
Yes, you did hear a riff from Enter Sandman. There was also some primitive tribal singing, some classical (I've heard people say both Beethoven and Bach are represented personally I could not say) some banjo, and at the very end right after the Metallica riff, there is a bit of some EBM style drumming. Basically, during that instrumental break, they trace the history of music.
You really need to watch the documentary on how Floor came to the band it was really a miracle how they pulled it off its here on youtube the title is NIGHTWISH -"PLEASE LEARN THE SETLIST IN 48 HOURS"
@@HalfLifeSistah that s the beauty of it and of that band...always an emotional rollercoaster.kinda like watching a master painter giving life to a canva.
Now that I've managed to compose myself, please let me say thank you for one of the best reaction videos I have ever seen! Thank you for taking the time to go through this song so thoroughly. The song is a masterpiece as is your reaction video. It was awesome to see that I'm not alone in my emotions that this song evokes. I felt everything you both were feeling. I love you guys!
This song gets me every time. First time I saw Nightwish live was 2018. They played this song and when Floor asked everyone to sing “We were here,” I physically couldn’t. I was sobbing and was choking on the words. I really hope you both get to see Nightwish live soon because it’s such an experience.
thank you for this emotional reaction. my mom love this band and when she die on 27.11.19 i hear the song Ave Maria with both singer and it will be the song to give her the last ride.
Very nice reaction. I love Nightwish, especially because Floor comes from my town in The Netherlands called "Goirle" near Tilburg. She also studied here at the rock academy. I am so proud of her!
I dont have words to describe the greatness of the analysis done to the song, the reactions of HalfLifeSistah, the comments by Wolf, the music in the background was we was dissecting all the parts from Nightwish awesome song, the glimpse of her party, the words from Carl Sagan for the Pale blue Dot picture by the Voyager. As i heard Sagan's words in the last bits of the video, glimpses of Wolf's analysis, HalfLifeSistah's party, Floor's singing, Tarja and Annette singing as well during their time, Dawkins' texts, Marco's enthusiasm, Amppu's passion, Tuomas' smiling when he sees people's reactions, even my memories from the times I had the opportunity of watching them live... all of them came to my mind, as a projectile of emotions, and it gave me a huge smile... we were here...
This is the best reaction. You put so much into the meaning of the lyrics and makes so much sense. I love Nightwish and this song brings chills, not just the beautiful music but the way the lyrics are written. It really makes you take a step back and think about what really matters in life. Thank you!
When I first heard this song, it had me weeping. Same as you do right now. I had to watch it like 20 more times to get a grip on my feelings again.. This piece is so soo beautiful. It will always be a favourite of mine. I love that it wrecked you just as it did me. :) great review!
I think you forgot Emppu and this happens often. Now he may not solo much but his licks and chords are so much there and he deserves the same credit as the others. You would miss him if he wasn't there.
She distracted me when I was talking lol but I dedicated a whole section to him in our Poet and the pendulum reaction. He's essential to Nightwish and 100% reliable.
I love your reaction! You feel all emotions! Her voice, de music, it's magical. I saw Nightwish in Amsterdam and Iaughed, cried and screamed. Absolutely amazing!!
Absolutely and I'm a total 65 year old Floyd nut job . Nightwish gives it a brilliant personalised cover version for me because they don't try and mimic the uncopyable . Nightwish is my new favourite band euro metal at its best.
A phenomenal reaction to a composition that gives me goosebumps each and every time that I listen. Long live Floor Jansen with Nightwish. Thank you. 👍😊🌞
Extreme INTP and fellow Freethinker here. I only discovered Nightwish recently, and I feel fortunate to not have any emotional baggage that ties me to past female vocalists. Like Floor, they're wonderful where they are now. And like the Universe and Life, Nightwish has evolved.. For me, Floor, along with the genius and virtuosity of every other member of the group, define Nightwish. Love your reactions, both emotional and intellectual.
We need more thumbs up buttons.. impossible to just like this video just once. Wolfkain talking about atheism, dawkins, then several awesome nightwish songs.... and nearly 2 hours!
Love to see you react to 7 Days To The Wolves live @ Wembley, I'm sure you'll be blown away by that performance. Lots of headbanging/windmilling too haha
Wolf I want to thank you for this fantastic explanation and for me it was that the pieces of the puzzle fell into place. I've never thought that far back. we now live in 2020 (BC) we say all over the world. But nothing about that statement makes sense. thank you very much and just like your wonderful lady I was also surprised and surprised that I never thought back that far' so thanks to Nigthwisch and Floor and you and your lady you tube channel the puzzle falls together and makes it understandable. THANK YOU FOR THAT. be kind to each other as you do and stay healthy and happy. Wish you two all the luck in the world 'cause you are special people together 'I really appreciated this. Greetings and good luck. a fan of yours ❤🇳🇱👍Jan de Zwaan
What an amazing reaction, Thankyou so much. Nightwish are such a brilliant band and with Floor who is so special...they’re spectacular. Great channel guys 👍 love from England 🇬🇧
Thank you. Long before "The God Delusion" he was publishing books that made me obsessed with biology. I have a degree in EV BIO almost solely because of him and EO Wilson.
@@corneliusantonius3108 Actually, from what I remember, they were deists (people who believe God created the universe and hasn't touched it since) because, at the time, science knew far less about the origins of things, so it was a reasonable position to hold and took effort equivalent to being an atheist now.
This is possibly my favorite reaction video to this very special song! Thank you for this! I loved it from the build up you did before the song started, to lyric breakdown. The respect and reverie you give music really touches me. Again, thank you!
For me, this song has a powerful meaning. We are here making our own greatest show on Earth, and that last line tells it "We were here!" and we will be remembered after we leave.
I know Floor Jansen only for 4 weeks now, heard her in the Dutch tv show "Beste zangers" which is currently on air here in the Netherlands. Since then i listened to all the Nightwish concerts here on UA-cam and dare to say that she is in my humble opinion the best female vocalist on the planet. By a landslide. It's not even a contest. And wow what a band Nightwish is. Incredible.
Harold Andeweg I’m glad you were able to discover her. I’m English so I’ve watched the season through Denise Hofs’ translations of each episodes. I’ve been a fan of Floor for almost two years now, and that series has only reinforced my feelings on her; that she’s my favourite fucking singer ever.
Normally I prefer this concert, but honestly, for you guys,I think you need to see the Wembley performance of this song. They actually got Dawkins to come onstage and perform the outtro live.
Oh wow. I had watched your reaction a few times before, but only now took the time to watch the discussion, lyric breakdown, college... That was fantastic. You made me realise what it was about this song that affects me so: the grandeur of all of the universe and the forces behind its creation; the realisation of how tiny and insignificant we all are and how ultimately pointless this all is - and how I, after all the horrors and depression I have been through, still am both proud and desperate to shout "I was here". Thank you, Wolf and Sistah: for this moment of clarity; for the great amount of time and thought you put into appreciating this magnificent composition; and, with your unadulterated energy and passion, for rekindling those feelings I once had as a child when I repeatedly devoured that second-hand scientific encyclopaedia and my mind began to expand beyond what my religious community was proselytising. I once was numb, but now I feel. Thank you. -Marjo
What some people don’t know is that it was an emotional concert for Floor Jansen as well. Because both her parents were present. See here: ua-cam.com/video/B3NIfu0qvtg/v-deo.html
This is honestly the longest and most in-depth reaction video that I've ever watched, and it went by before I realised. Not only a reaction, but a lecture on the origin of life as well. Bravo!
I don't know how this slipped through my radar of nightwish reactions. But this is really thf greatest and best reaction video to GSOE. I feel odd everytime i see a great reaction to this song but no one understood almost the half of the lyrics. Thank you so much for going into the details. Let's spread the knowledge about us. The last part about everyone shouting out "We were here" together is in my eyes a message. All the signals humanity is throwing out into space...somewhere in this pile of data is this song travelling through space and eventually somewhere, sometimes will someone or "some-it" catch it up. Maybe humanity doesn't exist anymore, maybe earth doesn't exist anymore but this lifeform receiving tjis message in the future will know...................."We were here"
OMG!!! I´m used to seeing Sistah crying but WOLF! You pulled my tears out. And your analysis!!! I will definitely hear this song with a total different view. Thanks a lot it was almost two hours (had my coffee and everything) but it was totally worth it!
Ok....I have seen your video when you put it up an I keep coming back over and over again to cry together with you guys. Thank you for this AMAZING reaction video that shows real human response to music that is grasps the soul and takes it on it's journey.
Well on one thing you are not kidding: Floor IS the Goddess of Metal as far as I'm concerned! I honestly never ever heared a better singer than Floor Jansen, in any genre.
"The greatest show on earth" In the endless time our universe exists, we humans are just a little speck in time. I can't predict the future of humanity, but one thing is for sure.. WE WERE HERE!!! The whole concert is amazing, Tuomas is a musical genius, but to put it into reference. Asian monk chants, Child singing from "Dies irae", Bach's Minuet in G and Toccata and Fugue etc. Enter Sandman and EDM beats? For anyone who cares, Monk chants starts around 41:50,- Dies Irae child singing 41:55 - Bach's minuet in G at 42:05 etc.etc. That's a whole millenia of music compressed into a few minutes in an already awesome song. The music, story and lyrics from Dawkins... Wow..just WOW!! Love your emotions too, stay safe, healthy and full of luck ❤💋
I have no real words for this reaction. Other than, thank you. You guys are great and this was well worth the wait. This song is pure magic and all members show how good they are at their instruments in it. It's weird that a 21 minute song can feel so short. Floor is the best thing to happen to this band, she really adds a new energy and power to Nightwish. So epic. Great work guys.
Okey, I think this is the 3rd or 4th I watch this video in total. I can't stress enough how much I appreciate the two of you. Fantastic analysis and interpretation of the song, finally someone else truly understands it. I've been looking up INTP and just like you said Wolf, you feel understood for the first time and it really is a bizarre experience. I wish I had people like you and Sistah nearby, would make my everyday life so much easier. Much love from Sweden. 🤘
I have read that Jukka has official step down from the drumming for good. Kai stays as the permanent drummer, Jukka works for the band at home in Finland. I have met Kai as well as the rest of the band and they are all very nice. I am very glad we have Jukka immortalized on the 2013 live DVD. He is still missed.
This reaction was amazing. This song is a blessing that makes me soul and my eyes cry. I could never put my emotions in to appropriate words for this masterpiece.
Yes. Thank you for this reaction and your vision on the universe and life. You really did justice to this epic work. Thanks for challenging my beliefs. I heard some really interesting ideas. ✨🌹🙌
Hey, This is to both of you! Thank you so much for this honest and really beautiful video. I love this masterpiece of a song. And your review and appreciation of the song really made me appreciate it even more. I am crying at the end every time as i cried with you. I don't think there is anything in this world, that describes our beeing out here on this planet like the lyrics "we were here" and the way Floor delivers them, better than this song. Thank you nightwish for beeing here. Thank you two for beeing here. I loved your reaction as much as i love this masterpiece! I am exited for more to come.
Haha, that part that plays while they're walking around at the end there is an actual part of the song, on the album, it ends with this huge soundscape of the ocean with crashing waves and a whale. It's a gorgeous moment to end an album with
I just wanted to drop by and share this. I am a christian and while i disagree with 100% of these lyrics, I am not offended and the ending still gives me goosebumps every time. How good is nightwish? I believe they are the only band who can take all kind of people from all walks of life, regardless of age, ethnicity, background and religion...and bring every single one of them to tears!!! I also wanted to point out that, I do not shove Jesus down everyone's throat. I apologize for those people. I sincerely wish that atheists and christians can be in the same room without arguing. There's one common certainty between those philosophies and that is...our time on earth is brief. So love on each other and enjoy our time here! Throw on some Nightwish and rock out!!!! I love you all. Thanks for reading, and have a good day!
22:38 (Forgot to add) Well,they are recording theyr newest Album theese days. So i wouldnt give up hope if i were you. It is to be expected a tour,after they release the new album :) Also felt like backing up what was said about Tarja,leaving the stage after the song. Interesting fact,i have many new Nightwish supporters admitting to me,Nightwish has never looked more as 1 strong,happy,joyful force,then after Floor joined. With Tarja it was allways her in the front doing her thing (and that was fine back then),and the guys played at the back. There wasnt awhole lot of smiles,laughter between the band members. The same thing during Annettes era in Nightwish. Now they all smile,wink at eachother,there are crowd interactions like Nightwish never did before. Everyone looks at peace within,they want to bring the best out of eachother. Notice also in different performances,how Floor keeps wanting credits,attention to every band member. Troy,Kai are perhaps the 2 that is most "invinsible" during a concert,but she makes sure they get some love too. That would never happen with Tarja,or Annette. No hate on Tarja (i used to think she was the best vocalist on the female side,and noone could possibly be better) Annette was allways more suited for pop,pop-rock music (and now she has a typical pop-rock sounding band,where she sounds better then she did in Nightwish) Then along came Floor,and i got Floor`d! And as she grew on me,i learned to see her human abilities,her warm,sweet,caring personality. (Yes,Tarja is a sweetheart too,but compared to Floor,they are miles apart) And Tuomas stated Floor is the final/last vocalist for Nightwish. That kinda says it all,they knew they couldnt possibly find anyone better,they are now more like a family then anything else. They just genuinly love eachothers company. And one of Floors strengths are her love for her/Nightwish`s audience,she takes her time before,during and AFTER the songs. If Floor "runs off stage",its most likely because she needs to do a entire dress change. But other then that,she is allways present. And its funny,i didnt use to notice stuff about Tarja before,because she was my absolute favourite. Now today,i notice far more things i didnt like about some of her performances etc. I guess i were abit blind before,when it came to Tarja. But yeah,Floor is just on several levels above the others,on multiple areas.

I will so be there for the Bday party. And I know exactly what Wolfkain is talking about with the frustration. I sometimes stop and take that frustration and try and create something to show them what I am seeing or talking about so in a way they can see it. Oh if the AC is dying then if its just not cooling as it should then it could just need to be recharged with new refrigerant gas. Sometimes it is far cheaper to do that than many would think. Has to be done by a licensed professional as they can properly dispose of the old refrigerant gas.
MINIDOCU FLOOR JANSEN: ua-cam.com/video/B3NIfu0qvtg/v-deo.html Floor Jansen - (English&Finnish Subtitles) Interview and Reportage From Tampere [De Reunie](NPO 1)
Toumas decided to do a study and came to 3200 different religions that existed right now 😎
Have you heard the Nightwish song "Sagan"?
Sistah: When Floor says "Kiitos," it is simply Finnish for "thank you." In one of the early concerts, before joining Nightwish full time, she said it in Dutch first, and then in Finnish -- which, when she said it, impressed Tuomas so much he gave her a thumbs-up.
But no -- "Kiitos" simply means "thank you." You asked, I figured I could clear up that bit of mystery, since I've watched many interview videos, and have picked up a bit of Finnish simply because they speak it during those interviews.
THE BEST reaction to the song I've ever seen, hands down.
As a Finn I couldn't be any more proud of Nightwish.
Im from Norway and ive listened to Nightwish since i was about 13 years old. Im proud of what Nightwish has become, i might be an ass when i say that i lost connection with them when Anette was in the band and i didnt hear them untill about 2016 again. 3 year after they had a new singer. Floor. Anette and Nightwish at the time gave me nothing and had me loosing interest instantly. But hell, its one of the greatest band on earth 2019 today.
a Finn fan
As a Finn you have a lot to be proud of when it comes to great Metal! In my opinion Finland is the greatest Metal factory in the World. Greatings from Sweden.....in second place....
And as a Dutchie I am insanely proud of our Floor! 🇳🇱🤟🏻❤
@@j.v.r.1981- Someone mentioned that Floor is not that well known in Netherlands outside of Metal circles. Meanig that metal music fans know her but that's pretty much it.
Is that true?
As much as I love Tarja, I feel that with Floor Nightwish has reached their final form.
Floor doesnt do opera as well as tarja, and doesnt do pop as well as annette... but she does BOTH extremely well, which is something the others couldnt really manage.
I love that floor can do justice to the entire nightwish catalog, while still maintaining her own unique sound for new songs.
All 3 eras in 1 show? Sign me up
Ty Guy I also love how floor ads slightly more aggression to some parts like her version of ghost love score
@@tyguy6296 Actually, she does both, better.
@@SuperMoofie Yes, she does, and that isn't to say Tarja is bad either.
I agree, floor needs to be floor and not sound like tarj
I keep saying it. Nightwish, is not just a band. Not just a concert. Nightwish is a journey. Nightwish is an experience. Nightwish is a dream emporium.
WE WERE HERE.
@@MrEnsiferum77 Salty much?
@@MrEnsiferum77 Sorry but no, Floor is probably one of the best singers in the world, if not the best, Tarja is just pure opera, Floor can sing everything. I love Tarja, but i'm not a fanboy, she's not even close to be as good as Floor is.
@@CrisHermetica Ugly as hell. Floor best era was with After Forever. Nightwish make sense only with Taria. Simple as that.
@@MrEnsiferum77 You are only for yourself the center of the universe. Not for everyone. So you can't make the rules for all of us. In my humble opinion Floor is a far better match to the range of Toumas compositions then Tarja. I like her voice and she is great, but for this band Floor is just better.
@@MrEnsiferum77 I'm sorry but again, no. Maybe for you who doesn't understand music Nightwish was better with Tarja, but for us, it's a lot better with Floor, too bad that we don't share opinions, but your opinion doesn't matter at all, because you're not the keeper of truth or something like that, so in your opinion is bad, in our opinion is great.
So stfu and let us enjoy this band without your salty comments, if you don't like Nightwish with Floor i don't know what the hell are you doing watching a reaction video with her, you must be really salty and your life so sad that you need to share your shit with people that don't even care about your opinion.
This is no reaction this is master class. Should be shown in schools
Oh wooow :-O Thank you for that tremendous compliment. ♥
"WE WERE HERE" always gets to me, always... this band is just phenomenal... I cannot wait for their new album!!
I have ticket to Nightwish concert it's "secret consert" and I have already see that band 4 times and what more the better it feels. I think Nightwish is the best band ever in that planet - and I know all their songs. The soul of band is TUOMAS
I cry at that point in the song every time, so powerful
That's a statement both for humankind as a whole, and as us as individuals. The chance of you being born as you is 1/400.000.000.000.
@@darkiee69 Exactly.
So, let's make sure that our life here on Earth has not been wasted, yeah?
"We were here" hits me every single time. All of humanity crying out with a single defiant voice to the vast lonely emptiness.
we fucked up and will have destroyed our planet in a couple of years or decades just to be able to eat meat and have some comfort. so yeah, defiant may be most fitting term.
the potential humanity has had was probably huge but we spat on it. Maybe we were some kind of alpha or beta test for an alien software called life. When we will have disappeared the program may be going to be fixed. In the next version brutality, martiality, inhumanity, archaics, racism, xenophobia, speciecism and so on will hopefully be gone.
@jay fine
No.
I believe there's evolutionary reasons for why we want to help each other.
Love itself is the magnetic force that perpetuates our species.
We aren't the best animal in all honesty - no fur, no claws, can't run very fast (as evidenced by Scotland's football team)
What we DO have is a superior brain - we solve problems WAY better than any other animal ... and we have a social mentality ...together we stand, divided we fall. That's consistent with other ape species. Especially chimps.
Look at the moon landing ... that's the result of a social mentality.
Religion is an unfortunate bi-product of our problem-solving brains. Fervour and decisiveness are a boon to an animal in the wild - where "safe, not sorry" is often an instant life-saving decision, but poison to a reasoning person in the 21st century.
Religion is always merely a primitive story invented to describe the deep emotions that need explaining.
It's never a good attempt.
@jay fine Goodness, justice, and the likes of those are man made "inventions" but it has nothing to do with religion ( at least if we are talking about the creation of those things...but using those ideas , can be a religious thing ). Technically existence is amoral as you said, the things InjusticeHater listed ( and many more ) are just labels that we created so we could turn into civilized beings ( at least in our own eyes ), but whos to say whats normal and what is not. Think about it, who would say that X. person is inhumane? Said person or the one who is suffering or feels offended by the actions of person X. , who and how would solve a situation like this without said labels. Lets say im stronger than you, im capable of killing you without any problem and you have something that i really want and probably wont ever have on my own because im not as smart as you or something like that....why wouldnt i just kill you and take your stuff? Because im capable of killing you and taking your stuff, i have the "right" to do so. These labels meant to restrain the strong and give power to the weak, essentially before the strong ones could've killed all the "earners", and because humans were/are living in groups we need both, so we can operate as a group...so we created different laws, rules, later on ideas, terms, etc. to keep up the group ( humanity, our civilization, you name it as you want ). Of course the moment these things were created everyone tried to gain a little more than the others, weaker ones, stronger ones, everyone and essentially this is how religion was born ( among a lot of other things )...to exploit/rule the weaker ones by the idea of teaching them or forcing them to be "good"' "lawful" etc. Maybe religion itself was really a pure thing at first ( the fear of the unknown, known as death, is not as terrifying when people do believe in rebirth or some sort of afterlife ), but it was eploited pretty quickly. We are just like other animals, but we evolved to a point, where we, being different form each other is a problem, and the more evolved we are, the more problems we will have.
I dont know if this rant is understandable enough, english isnt my first language, but technically i wanted to say, you can force religion into anything, but it does not mean that an atheist would find said concept meaningless only because it can be interpreted as something religious.
@jay fine Actually, existence and the prospect for it, is not amoral. Our future and progressive evolution depends on us working out how not to destroy either ourselves or the planet - the essence of science and atheism. The evidence provided by history demonstrates that religion contributes little to 'morality' and plenty towards our mutual destruction. A current example is the USA today; as it becomes progressively more militantly religious so it appears to become more destructive to both the environment and those living on earth.
@jay fine I dont really understand what do you mean by "There is no valid fundamental argument within atheism to preach or require any “good” of others." Being "good" or "bad" is just an idea based on a fundamentally flawed concept ( because of the fact that are all different and we will act/think/see things differently ). But just because i dont believe or agree with this concept the way, lets say a christian would, i do understand it, i do know it exists, i do know how it works, i know how religious people will see it, i even live by these ideas.
Even an atheist will live by these concepts to a point, because its required to do so, if youre living in a society. This is why i dont understand your question, because "good" and "evil" is not a religious thing, they are just using it as a tool.
Floor is the bridge that connects us to Tuomas' vision and creativity. The band plays and sets the stage. And Floor leafs us by the hand down that path. Theres never enough Nightwish.
When she sang ‘Shallow’ on TV, I said Floor is like Mother Earth, she can sing hard and loud like a thunderstorm, but also soft and delicate like a sweet summer’s day. You can’t describe Floor in one word. She is almost other worldly. I’m so happy she found her home in Nightwish.
I liked Nightwish's music back in the beginning, but for some reason Tarjas voice rubbed me the wrong way. When Anette joined I totally tuned out and didn't listen to them until a few months ago when I stumbled upon the Wacken 2013 show, and Floor just blew my mind! It's like she and Nightwish were made for eachother. Her talent, range and charisma really raises the songs to levels her predecessors never could, and I love it!
I don't think Richard Dawkins is an ass. He just cares more about truth than not offending people. Rightfully so.
That attitude of not minding to say anything confrontational with the utmost confidence that the facts are on your side is what I enjoy seeing in people who really do have the facts by their side. It's ultimately just a matter of being not only straight forward but honest about it. That's why people like Christopher Hitchens, Aron Ra and of course, Richard Dawkins keep winning my respect over and over again. They prove their own honesty and their opponents dishonesty at the same time.
Dawkins is very close minded and is even criticized by many in the scientific community for making atheism, not science, into a religion. I respect him as a scientist and I like how he dismantles religious fanatics but it is in conversations with moderate religious persons where he falls flat. He does not and will never understand that for a lot of people science and religion do not compete. They are on different layers. He doesn’t understand that people’s minds can be and sometimes should be paradox. There is nothing wrong about it. The way I believe doesn’t interfere with my desire to understand how physics and the universe work. Not every religious person beliefs that his faith is the only true faith or that it is the whole truth. Religion is not much different to philosophy. It’s a set of ethics, a way to interpret human contact. Unless you’re a fanatic fundamentalist you don’t believe that religion is „The Truth“.
Richard Dawkins made the mistake of starting to argue with idiots.
Whenever you argue with idiots, they drive you nuts and you'll inevitably say something that makes people think you're an ass.
But he's less of an ass, than anyone who doesn't even argue with christians, creationists and flat-earthers, because they don't even give a shit. At least he cares enough to try. At the cost of his own mental health...
@@robertschneider8808 Science is reason. Religion is irrational. There is no other way to look at it.
No, they are simply incompatible to anyone who is rational.
There is no paradox, simply an unwillingness to let go of the irrational.
Yes, there is something wrong with it.
It does interfere because inevitably you will be confronted by something in science that is incompatible with your religion, and you will be forced to choose between rational thought and irrational.
They you aren't actually religious.
Religion is nothing like philosophy.
Religion has nothing to do with ethics or human contact.
If you don't believe your religion is truth, then you aren't actually religious. You are clinging to nonsense because...
@Natalia It is lack of religion, not religion. LOL
Yep, that’s a snippet of Metallica in there, and a few bars before was a snippet of classical, it represents the creative evolution of man, and is very cool :)
They actually start from baroque music, though the classical period (I think it is Bach), Metallica's Enter Sandman, and even a few electronic beats. This is a very deliberate and brilliantly performed piece of musical humour, to represent the evolution of music in the 40 seconds or so.
That was the beginning of J. S. Bach's Fugue in d minor. Arguably one of his most famous and popular pieces, even though most people probably mostly recognize the Toccata that's usually played before this part.
And if you listen carefully it ends on a house beat to represent 2015.
@@lolistoics Bach, thanks for the info 🤗😊
There was also a moment of bluegrass in there, with the banjo.
HOLD ON.... what the hell was that?? I have never been this mindblown by a reaction ever! To be honest no amount of words will suffice.
This wasn't a reaction, this was a **PRODUCTION** done with the utmost of respect to its subject. HalfLifeSistah, WolfKain, you guys get it. You have set the bar to an unreachable height. To commit to a reaction the length of a Hollywood feature film is intense, not only that but to follow a similar structure as well, intro, opening comments, buildup, reaction, analysis and so forth.. is an astronomical feat, this reaction itself tells a story.
Your attention to the details and things that most don't pick out in this masterpiece is to be commended. There is so much to say about this reaction, unfortunately it could never quantify the effort and love you put into this **MASTERPIECE** of a reaction.
I subscribed quite some time ago... I only wish I could again... or in some way give back for what you have done here.
That was absolutely STUNNING.
As Trinx pointed out in the comments below.. this truly is ***The Greatest Reaction on Earth*** :)
Thank you SO MUCH!
I forbid you to plainly call this a reaction. This was a college. I'm totally in awe of this breathtaking piece of work.
To me it feels like Floor is the first singer to actually like the songs she's singing and not constantly auditioning for something else...
*gasp* I feel the SAME way!! :-O
She is on borrowed time. Once she wants to grow as an artist she will be kicked out.
@@xashfordx How much more can she grow!!!!
@@xashfordx LOL, this comment made my day LMAO.
@@xashfordx She's more capable than Tarja and Anette put together, not much more growing to do. Floor is a _very_ experienced singer, she's sang in several metal bands, she's sang opera and rock and everything in between.
Your presentation, on the song and lyrical analysis is better than any documentary, on the history channel. So much work and effort put into this, thank you so much for doing this song justice..
What a band, what a singer, what a Composer...the greatest show on earth..🤗

The way she touches Emppu's shoulder like that speaks of love, He touched her arm like that earlier at wembley, I effing love that Emphaty between the whole band ❤🌹💕💖
Everyone loves Emppu. He was also Anette's best pal in the band (and already before she joined).
No matter how serious and dark the song is Emppu always smiles (in some music videos he manages to keep serious face).
And at the end she puts her arm around Tuomas and is smiling at him.
Also love her facial and vocal expression on "Enter... Life".
Markos expression at the end when he gives the thumbs-up is just angelic.

Mother of God is holy indeed. Though only after her son made her holy.

Welcome to the Nightwish Army Jerry.
I just discovered them during lockdown and am kinda mad I'd never heard of them before. They are amazeing!!!!🥰
Some will call me a lunatic, but this is I think third time I'm watching you guys analyse this song. Not only because there's so much to digest, or because I am a Nightwish fan boy (well I am very much but shush!), but also how genuine you guys are with your reactions and emotions. This channel is so underrated and I'm so glad I found it!
Hi sunshine 🤗
I appreciate you so much.

We are still waiting for the Wolf’s channel :)
I think the most incredible thing about this song and Nightwish in general is that every single time I listen, I hear something new
Seeing you react to this song means the world to me. I am a scientist (currently finishing my PhD). This song is everything to me. This is how I feel in my daily life working with the miraculous creatures of the Earth: bio, physics, mathematics, genetics, doing lab work and sifting through data... I'm a Naturalistic Pagan which means my spirituality is rooted in the observable, verifiable Universe. This fuels my research and also adds value to my daily life. This is a wonderful tribute to the Greatest Show on Earth which, in the human-centric view, is the story of our own evolution.
Wow, naturalistic pagan. I'm not into labeling myself, but this resonates with me. Your comment made me tear up a little.
Finally!!! The Masterpiece from the Mastermind himself Mr. Tuomas Holopainen.
I know this reaction is a while ago now, but if everyone had this kind of reaction to this song, the world would be a much better place.
Waiting this so much...Thank You Sistah and Wolf to doing this.👊 Not only reaction's but really great review's. LOVE You guy's..Masterpiece of Tuomas Holopainen. His Ode to the Life Itself...❤
It was so nice chatting with you, love! I'm so glad you enjoyed the premier! :* ♥
Pleasure was all mine. ☺ Next time have to wake up Wolf too. Wan't to say Thank You for him too. Excellent job, You two ROCK...Big time! 👊
Just been listening to this song on the album with decent headphones on and that section where you hear the 'journey through music'... It starts on the right speaker with a tribe dancing around a fire, that moves to the left, then there's like a medieval gregorian chant that moves to the right, then there's Renaissance - what sounds like a Lute that goes into the harpsichord part, then the women singing but i don't know what that represents. Then the band kicks in again and do the classical Baroque 'bach-like' part, then there's a banjo, then there's a brass instrument on the left side that joins in, then it's the Enter Sandman riff on the right and finally an electronic dance music type kick drum that leads into the chorus. Pretty certain that's all of it, really cool! Also, the "We were here" part, each time she sings 'We were here' there are more people added in the background so the last one is a huge crowd chanting it. It blows my mind how many of these beautiful little touches they put in their music that can easily go unnoticed. This is why Nightwish are my favourite band... Because even after years, i'll find something i didn't notice before or find some crazy little detail that gives a song more depth than i thought it had.
Kiitos = Thank you 😘
I LOVE you two !! Music creates so much to this world , love , pain, happiness , sadness, but also gives us hope and comfort 😍
This Song includes so much. Tuomas is a genious !! He once said that Nightwish is Image of his soul.. What a beautiful soul we have there 💕
There is so much beautiful details about evolution on this Song. I was blown away when I realized how ingenious this is 😘
Tuomas is one of a kind...Musical genius and deep deep person too. You're on point. I think too Nightwish really is His journey to heart, mind and soul...And what a journey it has been. I only ride along and enjoy. Beautiful word's Miia ❤
@@pyssy123 ❤️
I love you, too, baby :*
What happens to your soul when you die?
Nightwish reactions might as well be called "Sistah Gonna Cry"
Yes, you did hear a riff from Enter Sandman. There was also some primitive tribal singing, some classical (I've heard people say both Beethoven and Bach are represented personally I could not say) some banjo, and at the very end right after the Metallica riff, there is a bit of some EBM style drumming. Basically, during that instrumental break, they trace the history of music.
You really need to watch the documentary on how Floor came to the band it was really a miracle how they pulled it off
its here on youtube the title is
NIGHTWISH -"PLEASE LEARN THE SETLIST IN 48 HOURS"
Great documentary!
" is that it?"... " Nooo…." just cracked me up lol
^_^ I had no idea what I was in for ♥
@@HalfLifeSistah that s the beauty of it and of that band...always an emotional rollercoaster.kinda like watching a master painter giving life to a canva.
FLOOR AS TAKEN NIGHTWISH UP TO ANOTHER LEVEL
Absolutely!! Floor is the best fit for Nightwish.
Floor is great singer, that is true but REAL hero and most important person is TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN who compose their music
sir john sx you said it spot on
Now that I've managed to compose myself, please let me say thank you for one of the best reaction videos I have ever seen! Thank you for taking the time to go through this song so thoroughly. The song is a masterpiece as is your reaction video. It was awesome to see that I'm not alone in my emotions that this song evokes. I felt everything you both were feeling. I love you guys!
❤️✊🤘
This song gets me every time. First time I saw Nightwish live was 2018. They played this song and when Floor asked everyone to sing “We were here,” I physically couldn’t. I was sobbing and was choking on the words. I really hope you both get to see Nightwish live soon because it’s such an experience.
July 20 was my brother's birthday R.I.P. He would've liked this song and you two beautiful people.
thank you for this emotional reaction. my mom love this band and when she die on 27.11.19 i hear the song Ave Maria with both singer and it will be the song to give her the last ride.
Very nice reaction. I love Nightwish, especially because Floor comes from my town in The Netherlands called "Goirle" near Tilburg. She also studied here at the rock academy. I am so proud of her!
Its time!!! On friday (22/4 2022) i'm going to Tampere. Nightwish in concert!! Halleluja!! Thanks for a reaction formidable.😃
I lov u guys!! You are the best!! Nightwish is music of the soul ...
Troy is from my home town of Workington in the north of England. We're all so proud of him
You have a lot to be proud of 👍
Jealous 😂.
You should be indeed. He is a genious on so many instruments!
Great! Troy is important part of band. I live near Tuomas and Emppu, I work in the same city as Marco Hietala (Kuopio).
And so you should be Paul. Congratulations to Workington on producing another of the genius musicians of Nightwish.
I dont have words to describe the greatness of the analysis done to the song, the reactions of HalfLifeSistah, the comments by Wolf, the music in the background was we was dissecting all the parts from Nightwish awesome song, the glimpse of her party, the words from Carl Sagan for the Pale blue Dot picture by the Voyager.
As i heard Sagan's words in the last bits of the video, glimpses of Wolf's analysis, HalfLifeSistah's party, Floor's singing, Tarja and Annette singing as well during their time, Dawkins' texts, Marco's enthusiasm, Amppu's passion, Tuomas' smiling when he sees people's reactions, even my memories from the times I had the opportunity of watching them live... all of them came to my mind, as a projectile of emotions, and it gave me a huge smile... we were here...
What a song, what a band, what a reactions, no words.... Sistah and Wolf, MINÄKIN ITKEN 😭😭😭👏👏👏
And after the song, I didn't hear you giving the credit to Emppu, so, great guitar playing Emppu 😋🥰🤘
Happy UA-camversary! 🎂🎊🎉🍾
If Floor's voice was the last singing voice I heard before I die, I would be content. ♥️
THANK YOU!! :*
And I am with you on that, regarding Floor lol :D ♥
When I hear her voice I'm already in Heaven
Oh get a room already
I'd rise from the dead to hear her again!
This is the best reaction. You put so much into the meaning of the lyrics and makes so much sense. I love Nightwish and this song brings chills, not just the beautiful music but the way the lyrics are written. It really makes you take a step back and think about what really matters in life. Thank you!
When I first heard this song, it had me weeping. Same as you do right now. I had to watch it like 20 more times to get a grip on my feelings again.. This piece is so soo beautiful. It will always be a favourite of mine. I love that it wrecked you just as it did me. :) great review!
I think you forgot Emppu and this happens often. Now he may not solo much but his licks and chords are so much there and he deserves the same credit as the others. You would miss him if he wasn't there.
She distracted me when I was talking lol but I dedicated a whole section to him in our Poet and the pendulum reaction. He's essential to Nightwish and 100% reliable.
I love your reaction! You feel all emotions! Her voice, de music, it's magical. I saw Nightwish in Amsterdam and Iaughed, cried and screamed. Absolutely amazing!!
The song is 24 minutes because 1 day in Earth is 24 hours...I doubt it was a coincidence. XD
Since you like Pink Floyd, check out the version of 'High Hopes' by Nightwish..
High hopes is definitely a good one since you're a big fan of Pink Floyd as well as Marco. He does his usual stellar job on the vocals.
Absolutely and I'm a total 65 year old Floyd nut job .
Nightwish gives it a brilliant personalised cover version for me because they don't try and mimic the uncopyable .
Nightwish is my new favourite band euro metal at its best.
@@Xaxon Emppu also gives an amazing performance on the guitar. :-)
@@hazelangus when doesn't he?
@@Xaxon well it's exceptional in high hopes ;)
A phenomenal reaction to a composition that gives me goosebumps each and every time that I listen. Long live Floor Jansen with Nightwish. Thank you. 👍😊🌞
Extreme INTP and fellow Freethinker here. I only discovered Nightwish recently, and I feel fortunate to not have any emotional baggage that ties me to past female vocalists. Like Floor, they're wonderful where they are now. And like the Universe and Life, Nightwish has evolved.. For me, Floor, along with the genius and virtuosity of every other member of the group, define Nightwish. Love your reactions, both emotional and intellectual.
This is one of the best videos on youTube! Your work is very much appreciated.
We need more thumbs up buttons.. impossible to just like this video just once. Wolfkain talking about atheism, dawkins, then several awesome nightwish songs.... and nearly 2 hours!
My goodness! Thank you, sugah! :* ♥
Fantastic reaction guy's. I was with you all the way. So glad Floor has re-energised your love of the wonderful band of musicians that is Nightwish.
Love to see you react to 7 Days To The Wolves live @ Wembley, I'm sure you'll be blown away by that performance. Lots of headbanging/windmilling too haha
Wolf I want to thank you for this fantastic explanation and for me it was that the pieces of the puzzle fell into place. I've never thought that far back. we now live in 2020 (BC) we say all over the world. But nothing about that statement makes sense. thank you very much and just like your wonderful lady I was also surprised and surprised that I never thought back that far' so thanks to Nigthwisch and Floor and you and your lady you tube channel the puzzle falls together and makes it understandable. THANK YOU FOR THAT. be kind to each other as you do and stay healthy and happy. Wish you two all the luck in the world 'cause you are special people together 'I really appreciated this. Greetings and good luck. a fan of yours ❤🇳🇱👍Jan de Zwaan
❤️✊🤘
great reaction, tnx for taking us with u on this journey...
:*
Love you guys! Best reaction ever! As a Finn I almost started crying. I have seen nightwish two times now, it truly is the greatest show on earth!!
You should hear and check Nightwish cover of Pink Floyd’s song ’High Hopes’ from ’End of an Era’,.. 👍
Yes. High hopes is a must do. Please react it. You live pink floyd? This song from nightwish blows you away. Is emotion, harder....
@@bottivision Pink Floyd is probably Nightwish's biggest influence.
And Metallica. Tuomas said without metallica there would be no nightwish.
Agreed. It’s older, but Marco tipped it up. I think it’s better than the original
Absolutely. Marco SHINES in that one, and the band is on fire too!
What an amazing reaction, Thankyou so much. Nightwish are such a brilliant band and with Floor who is so special...they’re spectacular. Great channel guys 👍 love from England 🇬🇧
I'm a free thinker. Also want to point out that Dawkins was a world-renowned biologist for decades before the atheism came up.
Thank you. Long before "The God Delusion" he was publishing books that made me obsessed with biology. I have a degree in EV BIO almost solely because of him and EO Wilson.
@@TheNeonParadox Nice!! Isn't this mashup amazing!! This band. These songs. Science!!!! "Because it works, bitches!!"
Well some of the founding fathers of Ameirica were Atheïsts
@@corneliusantonius3108 Actually, from what I remember, they were deists (people who believe God created the universe and hasn't touched it since) because, at the time, science knew far less about the origins of things, so it was a reasonable position to hold and took effort equivalent to being an atheist now.
@@ssokolow Ya Think !
This is possibly my favorite reaction video to this very special song! Thank you for this! I loved it from the build up you did before the song started, to lyric breakdown. The respect and reverie you give music really touches me. Again, thank you!
For me, this song has a powerful meaning. We are here making our own greatest show on Earth, and that last line tells it "We were here!" and we will be remembered after we leave.
From 45:59 onwards a few second Marco's face brought tears to my eyes because he looks genuinely as happy as a man can be
One of the BEST ever reaction videos i saw here on Ytube. Emotional and real. Ty guys for this.
I know Floor Jansen only for 4 weeks now, heard her in the Dutch tv show "Beste zangers" which is currently on air here in the Netherlands. Since then i listened to all the Nightwish concerts here on UA-cam and dare to say that she is in my humble opinion the best female vocalist on the planet. By a landslide. It's not even a contest.
And wow what a band Nightwish is. Incredible.
Harold Andeweg I’m glad you were able to discover her. I’m English so I’ve watched the season through Denise Hofs’ translations of each episodes. I’ve been a fan of Floor for almost two years now, and that series has only reinforced my feelings on her; that she’s my favourite fucking singer ever.
Normally I prefer this concert, but honestly, for you guys,I think you need to see the Wembley performance of this song. They actually got Dawkins to come onstage and perform the outtro live.
Oh wow. I had watched your reaction a few times before, but only now took the time to watch the discussion, lyric breakdown, college... That was fantastic. You made me realise what it was about this song that affects me so: the grandeur of all of the universe and the forces behind its creation; the realisation of how tiny and insignificant we all are and how ultimately pointless this all is - and how I, after all the horrors and depression I have been through, still am both proud and desperate to shout "I was here".
Thank you, Wolf and Sistah: for this moment of clarity; for the great amount of time and thought you put into appreciating this magnificent composition; and, with your unadulterated energy and passion, for rekindling those feelings I once had as a child when I repeatedly devoured that second-hand scientific encyclopaedia and my mind began to expand beyond what my religious community was proselytising. I once was numb, but now I feel. Thank you.
-Marjo
What some people don’t know is that it was an emotional concert for Floor Jansen as well. Because both her parents were present. See here:
ua-cam.com/video/B3NIfu0qvtg/v-deo.html
This video hits me always in the deep end because I was there & thats my hometown where I was born..That made it special
Well if you like Kai's drumming (he is a drum god) you could check his band Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Stars live rehearsal in Sonic Pump Studios
Thanks for putting this much time and thought into this video guys ! This was amazing and I absolutely loved it. I feel much better now.
This is honestly the longest and most in-depth reaction video that I've ever watched, and it went by before I realised. Not only a reaction, but a lecture on the origin of life as well. Bravo!
I don't know how this slipped through my radar of nightwish reactions. But this is really thf greatest and best reaction video to GSOE. I feel odd everytime i see a great reaction to this song but no one understood almost the half of the lyrics. Thank you so much for going into the details. Let's spread the knowledge about us.
The last part about everyone shouting out "We were here" together is in my eyes a message. All the signals humanity is throwing out into space...somewhere in this pile of data is this song travelling through space and eventually somewhere, sometimes will someone or "some-it" catch it up. Maybe humanity doesn't exist anymore, maybe earth doesn't exist anymore but this lifeform receiving tjis message in the future will know...................."We were here"
The most impressive reaction I've seen. Documented, structured, emotional ... you are the best!
OMG!!! I´m used to seeing Sistah crying but WOLF! You pulled my tears out. And your analysis!!! I will definitely hear this song with a total different view. Thanks a lot it was almost two hours (had my coffee and everything) but it was totally worth it!
52:35 Tuomas said that song was even longer initially, but because of the release format they needed to cut it down a bit.
@Jouni Well, cut it down by half then :)
@Jouni Man I would give anything to hear the original full version
Ok....I have seen your video when you put it up an I keep coming back over and over again to cry together with you guys.
Thank you for this AMAZING reaction video that shows real human response to music that is grasps the soul and takes it on it's journey.
How can you still be atheists when you just saw and heard a Goddess sing and the other music Gods do their thing?
Joking of course. Love you guys!
😆❤
Well on one thing you are not kidding: Floor IS the Goddess of Metal as far as I'm concerned! I honestly never ever heared a better singer than Floor Jansen, in any genre.
@H. Tillotski thor you mean lol
"The greatest show on earth"
In the endless time our universe exists, we humans are just a little speck in time.
I can't predict the future of humanity, but one thing is for sure..
WE WERE HERE!!!
The whole concert is amazing, Tuomas is a musical genius, but to put it into reference. Asian monk chants, Child singing from "Dies irae", Bach's Minuet in G and Toccata and Fugue etc. Enter Sandman and EDM beats? For anyone who cares, Monk chants starts around 41:50,- Dies Irae child singing 41:55 - Bach's minuet in G at 42:05 etc.etc.
That's a whole millenia of music compressed into a few minutes in an already awesome song.
The music, story and lyrics from Dawkins... Wow..just WOW!!
Love your emotions too, stay safe, healthy and full of luck ❤💋
Literally every time Sistah calls us ‘babes’ or ‘loves’ my heart swells so much. I love it
WE. WERE. HERE.
we are here right along with you guys. For these brief and wonderful moments.
I have no real words for this reaction. Other than, thank you. You guys are great and this was well worth the wait. This song is pure magic and all members show how good they are at their instruments in it. It's weird that a 21 minute song can feel so short. Floor is the best thing to happen to this band, she really adds a new energy and power to Nightwish. So epic. Great work guys.
Okey, I think this is the 3rd or 4th I watch this video in total. I can't stress enough how much I appreciate the two of you. Fantastic analysis and interpretation of the song, finally someone else truly understands it. I've been looking up INTP and just like you said Wolf, you feel understood for the first time and it really is a bizarre experience. I wish I had people like you and Sistah nearby, would make my everyday life so much easier. Much love from Sweden. 🤘
I have read that Jukka has official step down from the drumming for good. Kai stays as the permanent drummer, Jukka works for the band at home in Finland. I have met Kai as well as the rest of the band and they are all very nice. I am very glad we have Jukka immortalized on the 2013 live DVD. He is still missed.
Jesus... I´ve seen this a hundred times, and here I was, crying with you guys. Thank you. Kiitos. (From Finland.)
❤️✊🤘
This reaction was amazing. This song is a blessing that makes me soul and my eyes cry. I could never put my emotions in to appropriate words for this masterpiece.
Yes. Thank you for this reaction and your vision on the universe and life. You really did justice to this epic work. Thanks for challenging my beliefs. I heard some really interesting ideas. ✨🌹🙌
WOW and WOW well done you guys , i was verry happy that you thake the time to do all this work , kuddos for you both !!!!!!!!!
Hey,
This is to both of you! Thank you so much for this honest and really beautiful video. I love this masterpiece of a song. And your review and appreciation of the song really made me appreciate it even more. I am crying at the end every time as i cried with you. I don't think there is anything in this world, that describes our beeing out here on this planet like the lyrics "we were here" and the way Floor delivers them, better than this song. Thank you nightwish for beeing here. Thank you two for beeing here. I loved your reaction as much as i love this masterpiece! I am exited for more to come.
You are so wonderful!!
Thank you🤗😀😘💖✊🏾🤘🏾
Guys, you HAVE to get yourself to a Nightwish concert when they next tour! Thanks for an amazing reaction
This one and yours Ghost Love Score are the most beautiful reaction videos I`ve ever seen
Haha, that part that plays while they're walking around at the end there is an actual part of the song, on the album, it ends with this huge soundscape of the ocean with crashing waves and a whale. It's a gorgeous moment to end an album with
I just wanted to drop by and share this. I am a christian and while i disagree with 100% of these lyrics, I am not offended and the ending still gives me goosebumps every time. How good is nightwish? I believe they are the only band who can take all kind of people from all walks of life, regardless of age, ethnicity, background and religion...and bring every single one of them to tears!!! I also wanted to point out that, I do not shove Jesus down everyone's throat. I apologize for those people. I sincerely wish that atheists and christians can be in the same room without arguing. There's one common certainty between those philosophies and that is...our time on earth is brief. So love on each other and enjoy our time here! Throw on some Nightwish and rock out!!!! I love you all. Thanks for reading, and have a good day!
I believe the greatest gift we have is the ability to think. Not just accept.
I really hope you guys get to see them live, they are out of this world! Thank you so much for this video and your reactions!
22:38 (Forgot to add) Well,they are recording theyr newest Album theese days. So i wouldnt give up hope if i were you. It is to be expected a tour,after they release the new album :) Also felt like backing up what was said about Tarja,leaving the stage after the song. Interesting fact,i have many new Nightwish supporters admitting to me,Nightwish has never looked more as 1 strong,happy,joyful force,then after Floor joined. With Tarja it was allways her in the front doing her thing (and that was fine back then),and the guys played at the back. There wasnt awhole lot of smiles,laughter between the band members. The same thing during Annettes era in Nightwish. Now they all smile,wink at eachother,there are crowd interactions like Nightwish never did before. Everyone looks at peace within,they want to bring the best out of eachother. Notice also in different performances,how Floor keeps wanting credits,attention to every band member. Troy,Kai are perhaps the 2 that is most "invinsible" during a concert,but she makes sure they get some love too. That would never happen with Tarja,or Annette. No hate on Tarja (i used to think she was the best vocalist on the female side,and noone could possibly be better) Annette was allways more suited for pop,pop-rock music (and now she has a typical pop-rock sounding band,where she sounds better then she did in Nightwish) Then along came Floor,and i got Floor`d! And as she grew on me,i learned to see her human abilities,her warm,sweet,caring personality. (Yes,Tarja is a sweetheart too,but compared to Floor,they are miles apart) And Tuomas stated Floor is the final/last vocalist for Nightwish. That kinda says it all,they knew they couldnt possibly find anyone better,they are now more like a family then anything else. They just genuinly love eachothers company. And one of Floors strengths are her love for her/Nightwish`s audience,she takes her time before,during and AFTER the songs. If Floor "runs off stage",its most likely because she needs to do a entire dress change. But other then that,she is allways present. And its funny,i didnt use to notice stuff about Tarja before,because she was my absolute favourite. Now today,i notice far more things i didnt like about some of her performances etc. I guess i were abit blind before,when it came to Tarja. But yeah,Floor is just on several levels above the others,on multiple areas.
