Hello Joanne [ Joanne Whitlock ] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This music video is the 1st single released in advance from their 8th studio album "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" (2015), together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band. About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory): " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen [pronounced Tarr-ya] (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her. There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps. I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol " For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community 🤘
@@JoanneWhitlock I'm sure you'll find the right words, in time :) I'm taking this opportunity to subscribe to your channel, because I understand that creativity is one of your goals, and Nightwish's music abounds in this element. Greetings, from Romania!
@@JoanneWhitlock Interesting that you say that. Nightwish has a beautiful ballad dedicated to the solar eclipse of 2000, called "Sleeping Sun", with lyrics full of metaphors. It has been performed, over time, by all 3 female singers of the band, Tarja, Anette and Floor, each in their own style. It would be a good start in your musical exploration, to familiarize yourself with the 3 eras of the band.
@@JoanneWhitlock And to be completely out of your depth in music is a good thing. It makes you think and feel and experience. And (IMHO) there is no better band than Nightwish to help you out of your comfort zone and into a world where you have no control over how the music is making you feel - and when you've recovered you say "loved that - what's next?". Please continue this journey Joanne - there is so much visual, sonic and lyrical creativity waiting for you.....
Hi Joanne, the Grimsby platoon welcomes you to the army. Like yourself, this was my first Nightwish video, after hearing the album version of Ghost Love Score. My first thought was that this woman has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard, and after watching the performance of Ghost Love Score at Wacken 2013, I was hooked. They are a wonderful band whose rabbit hole goes deep. Stick with them. They never disappoint.
🤩👍💥💯🎼 Now that you´ve seen and heard a tiny glimpse of them I kindly urge you to explore more of their endlessly tasty musical repertoire. Gabriel B´s guidance is the easiest, and the most familiar way for ´reactors´ to deep dive in their magical world of mixing the ´genres´ and blend ´em into one enjoyable ride. Neat reaction mi lady and keep on rockin´ with them! Greets from Finland. 🤘😎💙🎶
Welcome to a _lot_ of wonderful music! "Building a sandcastle close to the shore A house of cards from a worn out deck A home from the fellowship, poise and calm Write a lyric for the song only you can understand"! Tuomas, the writer and composer (I don't use that lightly), invited famous Finnish actors to take part, looks like they loved it! Floor (like Florence), the singer, looks great dressed in 1940's style!
Nice reaction. Nightwish live is such a good band. And singer Floor Jansen is great. Tip for the next NW? Ghost Love Score ( Wacken 2013) and discover the magic world of Nightwish…..I’m addicted to it. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Welcome to the greatest band on the planet, you have an incredible musical journey ahead of you. However, Nightwish is a band best served 'live', and with good audio 🤔. Maybe start where most do, with their performance of Ghost Love Score from Wacken 2013, its an experience 🤘
The Snowy Owl is called Urho and lives at the Ahtari Zoo in Finland 🇫🇮. Urho is the official mascot of Nightwish. Birds 🐦 play an important role in the iconography of Nightwish.
Welcome Joanne to a massive rabbit hole and an amazing band. Lyrics and compositions way beyond the usual drab. They are a superb live band especially with their latest singer since 2012, Floor Jansen. Most people watch their live performance of Ghost Love Score at Wacken 2013 as an introduction to them. Greetings from one of the UK enlightened.
Thank you, well done. You need two things (like everybody who listen Nightwish). First headphones, you get much more songs. Second interest to search knowledge, most of songs have words, history, science ideas what need to find out yourself. Greetings from Finland (we got first snow this winter here in south part today.)
hi, we've had snow this week too! Thank you for guiding me in the right direction. It's so helpful when the fans help out, it can be pretty overwhelming left to my own devices.
Hi Joanne..... Nightwish Army South Germany reporting on duty. Listen what our General has to say......... He will guide you through the beginning......trust him...... If you stay with us, you will experience a great journey into a deep rabbithole....... Rock On Mylady 🤘🤘🤘
Hello Joanne , I realy hope you don't give up on Nightwish , and you wil react more to them ! You wil find out that every song is different , but beautiful ❤ . I am sure you wil not regret it , subscribed . Kind greetings from the Netherlands , the land where Floor Jansen the phenomal singer of Nightwish has her origine 😊
When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m (6ft.+) tall Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen besides Nightwish, here is some background information on the best and most versitale female singer of our time. Floor joined the band 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. Here are some of my favourites: ‘Energize me’; Monolith of Doubt’ and Dreamflight’. Floor attended the then new Rock Academy in 1999 and graduated in 2003. She also studied 2 years at the Conservatory (1 year Music Theatre and 1 year Opera). 'After Forever' disbanded in 2009 and Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different vocal styles within one song from full operatic to death growls in seconds. Here are some examples: ‘Misery’s no Crime’, ‘Wild card’ and ‘Disdain’. Besides managing a band on her own she also did a lot of vocal coaching and as she is a perfectionist, she wants to do everything at 100%+. Eventually she had to pay the price and got a burnout. She had just recovered when end of september 2012 the call came from Nightwish to fill in for the remainder of the North American Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill. Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour: ‘Please learn the setlist in 48 hours’ Floor joined Nightwish after the iconic Wacken concert in 2013 as permanent member of the band. Floor continued to perform with 'Revamp’ also, but it was clear that she could not combine the two for much longer, so 'Revamp' disbanded in 2016. Floor did a side project called 'Northward' where she dived into the Hard Rock scene. The song 'While Love Died is a must see. Her stunning performances on the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019' gave her at last some more recognition in her home country where she was relatively unknown until then. There are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find on UA-cam. To see how to get a crowd of metalheads silenced and in awe watch her featuring with the band 'Epica' and the song 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa’ and to see her in full opera mode, watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini. As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered UA-cam in these years. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses, personal insights and so much more. She even made a video reacting to herself singing Ghost Love Score at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish. Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of these and other presents she left on her channel. Also videos of her solotour she did with songs of her impressive career. Her latest endeavour is her stunning solo album ‘My Paragon. Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton), daughters Freja (turns 8 years next march) and Lucy (1 year this october),a couple of horses, dogs and cats, she found this.

Hi, I held off replying to your message cause I wanted it to be top of the page when I logged into UA-cam. Know that your suggestions are top of mind! I hit record on the top choice and was interrupted so not sure now whether that song is one I can't 'react' to. Still, you have been heard. Leave it with me!
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish. Here is a consensus of meaning of the lyrics of this song about which you expressed uncertainty: Meaning of "Élan" The word "élan" originates from French, meaning "vigor," "enthusiasm," or "spirit". It conveys a sense of energetic and confident style or an ardent pursuit of something inspiring. Lyrics to Nightwish's Élan The song Élan by Nightwish, written by keyboardist and songwriter Tuomas Holopainen, is often interpreted as a meditation on the essence of life, passion, and the pursuit of meaning. Its lyrics encourage listeners to step out of their comfort zones, embrace life's fleeting beauty, and follow their inner desires and dreams. Consensus on the Meaning Fans and critics typically agree that the song: Celebrates individuality and freedom - It emphasizes the importance of following one's personal path rather than conforming to societal expectations. Acknowledges the impermanence of life - The song reflects on life's transient nature, urging listeners to make the most of their time and seek fulfillment in their unique way. Encourages connection with nature and the world - The imagery suggests harmony with the environment and a sense of wonder at the universe's vastness. Tuomas Holopainen himself has described the song as an invitation to live life fully and passionately, rather than succumbing to monotony or complacency. Its tone is hopeful yet introspective, offering both inspiration and a gentle reminder of life's ephemerality.
The song is typically atypical for Nightwish. Mastermind and keyboardist/pianist Tuomas Holopainen gives himself artistic freedom with the "real" Nightwish songs so that they don't always sound the same. The folk is typical, but not consistent. Nightwish is the reference band in symphonic metal and usually sounds much harder and more epic. Singer Floor Jansen's channel is a bit rockier than this video: Floor Jansen - Sweet Curse (ft. Henk Poort) (Live) Floor is the third and longest-serving singer of Nightwish. The single is from her first Nightwish album. But she had already toured with the band before. The Wacken concert in 2013 is from this tour. The album with Élan was the unplanned beginning of a trilogy about life and ended with the current album. You won't see them live any time soon because they're taking a break from touring, probably until 2027. A current song by Nightwish and more typical: Nightwish - An Ocean Of Strange Islands (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO)
Floor is touring solo during the band's break, most recently in Germany and the Netherlands. Tuomas will be touring with his side project Auri 2025. You can catch them.
Be sure to use software to join the original audio with the audio of your microphone, rather than then re-record the song via your microphone. I'm quite sure there are tuturials on that with free software. Good luck on developing your channel and have fun exploring music.
Sounds like the music audio is being picked via her microphone only and it also has some over-active background noise-mute going on, it is not ideal. Feeding the music directly into the video recording application is usually the best way.
