Thank you very much for your words of appreciation. I'm glad that I opened a gate for you to this unique musical universe, in which I see that you move naturally. Today, for example, I noticed that you are much more into the topic than I am with this creative strand of Nightwish, so I learned from you. As far as I know, all your assumptions and observations were on point (including that they used the same key expression in "Noise" - "Color a yarn and the crowds will gather", and that Troy sang in Welsh at the beginning).
I would recommend two recent interviews (2022) by Chaoszine, which seem important to me: the first one with Floor Jansen, from April 26 ua-cam.com/video/iCeci20Xt9c/v-deo.html and the second one with Marco Hietala from 27 July ua-cam.com/video/ZKClkDme728/v-deo.html I hope you will like it.
I gave Eric the Marko one because seeing him happy made me happy for him. I totally get why he doesn't want to tour it's understandable.
I concur.
Gabriel! You are absolutely great with your Nightwish enthusiasm. Such profound and wide knowledge of Nightwish is amazing. I alkways read your comments.
@@riittasihvonen2011 Thanks for the kind words. For me - as well as for many others - Nightwish music is the "medicine" with which I treat myself, and which helps me see the beautiful side of life.
As much as I wish Marko the best, I’m gonna miss Marko & Floor singing together.
I concur 100%
I concur.
@@weshwn4246 of course but we can enjoy the new line-up & still miss those that have moved on. I still miss Jukka on the drums but think Kai is an amazing drummer as well.
@@weshwn4246 while I miss the heck out of Marko, I am pretty excited to see how Tuomas brings the new guy in vocally. I'm pretty confident it will be great.
yes I concur too,Marko is a legend
You made a suggestion that tuomas should score a Lord of the Rings movie, as luck would have it, he's a Lord of the Rings fan and NIGHTWISH has a Lord of the Rings song, Elvin Jig and Elvinpath live from Buenos Aries and it's AWSOME, can someone please give an I concur because it's one of my favorite performances of that song, Thanks.
I concur. Why not the video with both songs featured, the one that was released not long ago. / B.
Concur I do.
I concur....but after he has done both versions of How's the heart 😉
I concur
I concur !!!!
Watching this 1 mile from Walden Pond 🎄 🌊
The entire Tampere concert is so special, from seeing Momma and Papa Jansen so proud and moved by how far their daughter has come, and how happy she is now, after all the ups and downs with her previous bands, to actually seeing the band perform with such an endless joy and energy, giving their all to the crowd, as they always do, plus, if I remember correctly, that day was Nightwish' 20th Anniversary, which made the even even more important and huge with all the fireworks on The Greatest Show on Earth, here in My Walden, I get Alice in Wonderland feeling, like you say, the "colors" as sort of auras, I don't really know how to explain it
It wasn't really this date the concert was, a few weeks earlier.
@@Piia2023 my bad but still, amazing concert
Like the vibe of this one with Troy on the pipes? check out the only instrumental from the Wacken 2013 show, Last of the Wilds. It will pick you up, even without Floor. Keep exploring Nightwish!
I concur
I concur. / B.
Ditto concur

Troy is Cumbrian, not Irish. But yup, it’s Welsh! Good job! Can’t remember if you’ve done Elán yet, but it’s a track in this same vein. Slightly unpopular opinion, but I would check out the music video over a live for this track.
Thanks for the clarification!
Cheers!
Eric
I concur
I concur !!!
I concur! (It's not wrong to choose the live performance but the video is beautiful so whether you react to it or not, you should treat yourself and watch it.)
@@TheWyldesidewithEricClark Cumbria is the northwestern-most county in England, and borders with Scotland... just for your information
"Oh Tampere, Tampere. The cradle of Civilization". So true. 😎👍
Floor described her relationship with the band, calling it a happy family and these were her protective brothers. She mentioned the fact that they really respect her privacy and her need to not always be “one of the guys” because she is not. Empuu personifies the bands feeling for each other. The others do not outwardly display it as much. Tuomas being the most reserved. He shares emotions in his songs.
yet in "please learn the set list in 24 hours" we see the comic side of Tuomas as well..
I love Floor and Marko singing together "Ave Maria" 2019. The end is so sweet, brother and sister on stage! ua-cam.com/video/ut6ufu2CPNg/v-deo.html
Troi started the song in the Welch language:
Sain y niwl,
Gaunt y goydwig fwsog,
Gwenithfaen, cen y coed, a'r lleuad,
Un gway f'adenydd i dapestri bywyd.
(The sound of fog,
Gaunt the moss midwife,
Granite, lichen, and moon,
One way my day to tapestry of life.)
These incredible lyrics really hit me deep -
´I do not wish to evade the world
Yet, I will forever build my own`
Always great to see your reaction Eric :D
Your right about this show. Being tampere, it's close to home. That interview is sweet. The big rockstar standing by her parents quietly while they talk. Very touching.
To Marko's metal voices: I completely agree! But he has a darker and angrier side! If you hadn't it in your 'Handy Dandy Notebook": The First song of that Tarja era ending: 'Master Passion Greed'. Marko at it's worriest and most furious side, blaming Tarjas husband (this song has and will be never played live; Listen and you know, why...!) . The second: 'Bye Bye Beautiful' with Annette on vocals, blaming Tarja herself. The third in the row you reacted so far: 'The poet and the pendulum', blaming Tuomas himself with all the possible consequences and Markos part in it. That's why he is such a great loss for the band (and for the Fans).
I concur on Master Passion Greed! It is a song of pure rage, even the French Horns at the end sound dark and angry.
If you read Marco’s Facebook Post from when he announced he was leaving Nightwish
- “I need to find some new reasons and inspiration “My Waldron” so to speak.”
To me that shows this band lives & loves what they do!
At the same time, Marco just wasn’t in that place .. but he’ll find it!
Chaoszine has an interview with Marko. He had bad insomnia like Jukka had and he has ADHD.
Eric, you was completely correct about Tampere 2015 where the Rock Academy reunion talked about (FYI not only her parents were there but her sister Irene Jansen as well. She’s not a bad vocalist herself referring to her contributions as backing vocalist at Ayreon concerts, but not as profession). I think that besides the home crowd (Tampere is in Finland) the presence of her own family for Floor adds extra emotions to the already intense color of her performance.
A new version or episode of LOTR with Marko and Floor would-be a moneymaker.
Irene is a professional singer. Just not a touring singer.
You are right, de docu around floor and music academy was on dutch tv called back to the classroom. Her parents are at the concert, and floor got very emotional at the end, again great reaction from the NO1 reactor, and i conceur with every NW or Solo Floor you do
I concur to that concur 1000%
I Also concur!!!
Yep, the line from Noise is "Color a yarn and the crowds will gather"
Marco maybe metal, but he is waaaaay more than that. He can sing soft and gentle and it can be quite un-metal and beautiful, too.
Kiss while your lips are still red... ❤️
Marco singing a Back Sabbath song as a lullaby to Jukka's new baby is just the sweetest thing.
@@helky8 I concur!
Regarding LOTR Soundtrack, seriously, check out "Elvenpath". I mean... They did it.
I concur, Elvenpath live from Buenos Aires!! 🤘
I concur!
Yes, wholeheartedly concur you must do one of the live versions of Elvenjig and Elvenpath!!!
I concur 1000%
great one again Eric.ROCK ON
I concur.
Again, I am impressed that you get what Tuomas is up to with his poetry and his music. He has the ability to communicate his experience of life and his understanding of the grandeur of nature as no one else really does. It is often the case that what Tuomas does sails right over the heads those who are here just for the headbang. Case in point: the second CD of the Human:||:Nature album. It is a ravishingly beautiful series of tone poems - almost entirely symphonic - the like of which you have never heard. Basically, it's Tuomas' love letter to nature.
I concur wholeheartedly!
Yep, he said in a Knotfest interview recently, the first CD is "Human" and the second is "Nature".
I love that one shot around 7:10 where you get to see that Tuomas is singing along
Always lovely to see him and Kai too singing with Floor 😍
What you said in the 20th minute of this video.... about if you wanted someone to score Lord of the Rings, it would be Tuomas.... I made a recommendation for a reaction (which got many "I concurs" btw) in your Greatest Show on Earth reaction, which was for "All The Works of Nature Which Adorn the World"..... when you listen to this it will only convince you further. Great reaction Eric. Love your videos buddy. All the Best from Wales UK
The language sung by Troy at the beginning of the song IS Welsh !!!! 👌
Nightwish Noise (Color a yarn and the crowds will gather) and My Walden (Weaving my wings from many-colored yarns
Flying higher, higher, higher Into the wild) ,.....Not Bad !!!!
You know your Facts , my friend !!!
Walden is a book by Henry David Thoreau, chronically the two years he lived by Walden Pond, seeking solitude and a oneness with nature by living simply and creating an environment that suited him and no one else. He interacted with others, selling beans he had grown, but did not integrate with their institutions. The line in the song “ I do not wish to evade the world, yet I will forever build my own,” captures that nicely, I think.
So ,... there is actually nothing more to say , but ... Tuomas + Nightwish = everything
NWSU 🤘😎🤘.
Troy is actually from Cumbria in England, he's not Irish. But yes, that's Welsh he was singing.
Sydney base camp reporting in….listening to this whilst doing my patrols. Something to keep me going until I finish.
Has anyone ever asked if Tuomas 'sees' the music like you? From the compositions and their many layers, it would be odd if he didnt. Another great reaction. Watching a Nightwish reaction and an English lit class broke out 😏
Cheers & have a great day!
good question. I know he has said that often as he reads something, the music comes to him to go along with it. That was how Lifetime Of Adventure came to be.
In my 64 years on this earth, I have never seen such exuberance and commrodery within one band. I have gone from The Carpenters, to Cooper, and I can honestly say I am most impressed by the musicality, of 6 people. Man I miss Marco, but understand his need to step away.
I have watched the whole video now and I agree (concur 😁 ) with all you say. Others have already said that Troy is from Cumbria so I don't have to bother with that.
It's quite common that Tuomas does little homages to music and other things that has inspired him, he is not shy of showing that. That's why you can hear the "Enter Sandman" riff in Greatest Show On Earth and see a backdrop picture of something else and things like that. You just have to have the ability to see and hear it. One thing about Tuomas and the others in the band is that they are always "Present in the music" if that makes sense. It happens sometimes when a band is out on a long Tour with many concerts that they get a little bored, they play the songs automaticly and the heart and soul is not really there. You _never_ see that with Nightwish and especially not with Tuomas, they are always there and "In" the music, nothing is done or played on routine. Keep an eye on that in your next NW video.
Tampere is Emppu's hometown if I understand it right, so he was the Local Boy who played with Nightwish at that Concert.
Looking forward to your next NW video. Cheers / B.
Edit (had to look it up first to be sure): The Tour where the Wacken 2013 is in lasted for 572 days and they did 104 Concerts in 34 countries. I don't think a single one was done on routine.
the feelings that this makes this song feel so pretty and create such acool visual of the village and people in the mountains so very uplifting and sounds and elements that haven't been heard in rock music since the sixties at least
I was there, still vibing like it was yesterday.
Yup you didn't see as much crowd participations since this was filmed in Finland. But believe me, inside all those people were dancing and screaming. :)
Hallo from Austria! 👏👏
Servas! :D
Eric! YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS.
#jukka #darkchestofwonders
Drummer Jukka Nevalainen on his last tour with Nightwish. See the band on backstage, on tour buss, having fun with eachothers. You will love it. LOVE IT
Troy's Pipes are the Irish Elbow or Uillean pipes pronounced illan, he also plays whistles, low whistles and the Irish Bazouki plus the guitar (often with an E-bow). My Walden is a beautiful song performed to perfection
"Colour a yarn and the crowds will gather."
This is one of my favourite Nightwish songs, sounds beautiful and positive. The harmonies are awesome.
By the way, Eric. Glad you enjoyed my suggestion of checking out Locomotive Breath from the little acoustic sideshow that Troy and Marko put on between major Nightwish gigs on the Baltic Princess Nightwish Cruise 2015, here's another fun little ditty where Troy starts playing a tune from Titanic and Floor rushes on stage to stop this jinxing madness. Then they do the cover of Alone. Hope you enjoy it. ua-cam.com/video/AD_DBSdqumw/v-deo.html
Thank you for sharing this link! I have read about this acoustic show happening but did not realise I could see it on UA-cam! Thanks again! :D
Brilliant , great reaction as always thank you Sir 👍👍👍
Guessing we both support the mighty Rangers although not such a great result the other night! Fellow Nightwish fan too - even better. Take care. 😆
Yes, the documentary going back to Rock School,
with her parents in the crowd, I think they were to our left, travelled over from the Netherlands.
Troy covered in mist, can't see the audience, then starts off, in Welsh!
Workington is in England... Gavin and Stacey!
Floor rolling her "R", Marko bass double neck playing the guitar part and singing,
Troy playing and singing.
Kai getting his workout, Emppu clowning and then concentrating.
Tuomas showing his color pallet :)
Have you also seen the documentary on Tuomas?
.., and she looks awesome..
Or someone disagree on this "off-topic"??? 😮
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙 💯 💥
Amazing analysis!! Thank you.👍
Another Nightwish song you should check out is "Creek Mary's Blood". It's about the trail of tears. Incredibly moving piece of music.
No music is ever the same with this band all great God bless
Yes, the documentary about Floor revisiting her Rock Academy, that was extra special.
Troy starts off, in WELSH! (He's from the North West of England, about 150 miles away from Wales, 20 miles from Scotland, 120 miles from Eire. The UK is tiny, it would easily fit in most of your States.)
Well spotted, Gavin and Stacey!
The Tampere concert was close to the longest day, that far North, the Sun may not completely set.
I really hope you could react to Wintersun - Time live rehearsal at Sonic Pump Studios remastered and continue with Wintersun. Please and peace 🙏🏼😎✌🏼
I'm almost positive I've done that track, or I have it written down in the HDN. And I do have other Wintersun suggestions. Trying to get to all requests!
Cheers!
Eric
Aww yeah this song makes me happy
Man... Your reactions always give a huge smile to my face and warmness to my heart
I concur
I concur too. / B.
Beautiful Ree! I concur
She is so beautiful..The songs Tuomas writing,Dear Sir..U not only 1 who got teardrops..sometimes its beautiful..:)
One of my favorite tunes....
great reaction as always, you are on point. You have such a great perspective at whole band, not just floors part of singing(which is incredible) keep on rockin with nightwish :)
Lovely reaction once again Eric, man that would've been great to see the new Amazon Lord of the Rings show with the music of Tuomas and Floor (and maybe the others as well) but I totally agree that he/they would do a great job at it!
the level of creativity here with this song is off the scale holy cow, so good has such a powerful feelgood vibe the mainstream radio should embracing this very beautiful how do anyone not feel that that is going to make folks want to dance so empowering the colors and flow, such a spectacular piece of music composition so uplifting and empowering make me feel like im listening to dragon's breath by bathory who was much darker artist at times but wow
I concur, the interview was with Floor at Tampere.
Thanks for this one. yeah this one resonates with the crowd when it happens live :-). check out the Wembley version for more camera action on the crowd. Especially when they play it directly after Elan. Which is a song about the vital driving force of live, about people not forgetting to actually live when you get taken up in all the drudgery, obligations and pressure ot the day to day. Those three elan, my walden en alpenglow in a row actually create another layer on top of the layered music. The way Tuomas uses a setlist for a show is in fact another layer. You caught the essence of this one perfectly, at least you evoked the same feeling i get when i hear it. As a kid i was forever daydreaming, making up my own world. And that line: "i do not wish to evade the world, but i'll forever build my own" hit me like a sledgehammer, the first time i heard it. This "he gets me, a kindred spirit" moment... powerfull stuff. Great reaction man. Thanks a lot for this one. You deserve a lot more followers. I'd love your take on Elan next.
How can a song that mentions chocolate shops be sad and not bright!🤘🎸
waited for this one.....😁
According to Lord of the Rings and co: I only say Elvenjig/Elvenpath live from Buenos Aires ;)
I concur
iirc Tuomas had the Welsh lines written and Troy had to learn to sing them . . .I recall something with Tuomas in an interview saying something like "He nailed the Welsh"
I love the energy in this beautifully uplifting performance of Tuomas's composition. I have told my family that when I die, hopefully not for quite a while yet, I want this performance of My Walden played and projected on the screen at my funeral because it portrays the mood I have tried to maintain in my life. As for your interpretation of "Weaving my wings from many colored yarns... flying higher, higher..." I concur. And the instrumentalists echo this theme throughout the performance. Great, fun reaction to Nightwish.
So pleased to see you do this one, always love hearing your analysis at the end! I love this song so much that when One World Music Radio asked me to pick a favourite song to do a small piece on I chose this one!
Once again ,Great stuff. Thank You and Greetings from Finland :)
Like six years ago I fell in love this band. When I saw "The Greatest Show" that Masterpiece from the Mastermind himself Mr. Tuomas Holopainen 🙏
Ive been in conserts: Metallica, U2, Aerosmith, Mötley, GnR, Kiss, Skid Row, Ozzy, Iron Maiden.. etc list goes on and on... But I never knew that the Band
who Really got something to say, I found it here in my own country. Thank You, Kiitos Tuomas ❤
You're deep into this rabbit hole now, got all the nightwish vocabulary and stuff 😉
Another great reaction! Really enjoying your analyses of Tuomas' musings.
So great!
I've got a lot more to say and I'm going to make a longer comment, but you were asking if there were some similar references in "Noise" to the reverence to colorful yarns weaving the fabric of music. Yes, you were correct. Noise has a line, "Color a yarn and the crowds will gather, " right before the chorus goes on, "Noise. From the sunless world. Your mirror is black, only a copy stares back at a slave of brave new world."
So, there's the reference to coloring a yarn and then going on to mention a black mirror. Thank you for the great video.
Great reaction as always Eric. I, for a long time have been watching reaction videos. But you still have something interesting to say! This song, specially the live version, has greatly grown on me. How is your thought about revisiting the Tampere version of The Greatest show? Greeting from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
such a beautiful song and that Floors breath at the end🥰
Eric.....you made me think about this song so much, I had to go back and listen to the song again, and follow along with the lyrics in another screen to get what you are talking about! I know this song is on my Spotify list, but, I never listened to it in the context of your insight!
Thank you Eric...I always look forward to your posts!
I just watched - Ever Dream - End of an Era DVD live.
Nuclear Blast recorded the band's concert performance at the Hartwall Areena in Helsinki, Finland on October 21,2005. This was the band's final concert from their long world tour for their fifth album Once. End of an Era is also the last Nightwish production to feature Tarja Turunen as the lead vocalist, after the concert both Tarja and the band parted ways. Most touching and heartbreaking was to look at Tarja and her happy face knowing that she did not know what would happen at the end of a show.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
I wish your journey with Nightwish will be long, so long. It is just crazy how good reactor you are!! Maybe someday Nightwish Last Of The Wilds, instrumental song and what a song it is...
Hi!! Please check out Nightwish at Pinkpop 2022. Shoemaker 🙏
And yes, het parents where at that concert in Tampere ❤️
Greets from the Netherlands
I concur
oh and Eric, I love your UA-cam channel 🍀
I concur ! That Song is something else !!!
I concur. I was there and still in awe.
Prefer the hellfest version - better sound
Color your yarn and crowds will gather...Noiseeeeee.....you were right
Floors parents, sister her husband and I think her mother in law was at Floors first concert in Helsinki 2012. This album, Floors first for Nightwish is in my opinion the album with the most beautiful songs, maybe not the best but with the most beautiful melodies, sung by Floor....amazing album.
Great reaction as usual! Troy is singing in the language of Welsh! It’s not a bad job considering he’s English. I’m Welsh and speak the Welsh language too! Let me know if you want a translation? 🏴
I would like a translation, please? :)
Love the Welsh language; beautiful country! 🏴
Love from Norfolk :)
Great Nightwish reaction again Eric. - I could imagine Tuomas and Henry David Thoreau sitting together in an untouched forest and discussing about life, humans and nature.
It is absolute blessing for any child to have a farther like you and I believe, deep devotion to your friends. You are warm, cultured and sophisticated with wide knowledge and understanding about the world and people. My mother died couple of months ago, and the grief needs to be cried out. Music is my passion, and these few weeks I have cried moore than ever with every single Nightwish song. When I listen and watch your reactions, it comgorts me to share the emotions with someone.
Quote:
Sometimes when I say , " I'm okey", I want somebody to look me in the eyes, hug me tight and say", I know you're not.
Thank you for being your genuine you and so open with all of us who keep on listening and coming back to your channel day after day. You make us feel special and apreciated with your little hearts. Do not take any pressure on having to read every comment now.
Happy Metal!
Really fun reaction and discussion! just wanted to point out that Walden is a book, more like essays than poem, by Henry David Thoreau (not Henry Wadsworth Longfellow who yes, is a poet). Just in case anyone is interested in reading these fellows 😊 -your friendly neighborhood English teacher
I would really like to see a once off get together of Nightwish with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Marko at the Royal Albert Hall. Wow that would be some epic evening. Great reaction and expert comments Eric 💥💥💥💥💥
Nice reaction to a wonderful happy song. You're right about the intro being in Welsh. Someone translated it a long time back and I'm sure you can google it. Yes Floor's parents were there, they had never seen her perform live with Nightwish, so it was quite emotional for them and for Floor as well. The harmonies are just great. You're right that Marko oozes metal, and you haven't even heard his best vocals yet. Master Passion Greed, pure rage from everyone wrought into an awesome piece of music. I this song Tuomas is not only a composer, he's also a blacksmith. 🤘
Such a great piece of music. Floor's not even taxed but she sounds amazing 😍. Makes you want more.
Hi Eric, you'll find Tuomas ofter reuses lines and in fact also phrases of music.
Yes, Welsh language but from an Englishman.
Your interpretation of My Walden being my own paradise built in the countryside is how I interpret this too.
Not a dull moment with Eric as a teacher! Love it!
Much love to you and Ukraine
🌻🌻🌻💙💛💙
You are correct!
when tuomas john carpenter melody stop,start marko ennio morricone melody :) this was floor first concert with nigtwish in finland after they come back to home when they fired olzen in usa. thanx to great reaction and have wonderful day and soon weekend. maybe someday you write book,music book,everything you write those notebooks :) you right about that lord of the rings music, like tuomas say, nightwish music is always cinematic.
Also ich als deutscher finde deine Reaktion auf den Song einfach sehr gut 👍. Das ist eines der Lieder von Nightwish die immer in meinem Herzen bleiben. Danke und gern mehr davon! Grüße aus Deutschland 👋
Indeed, it was Welsh!
I love listening to this song right between I Want My Tears Back and Alpenglow 😄🎼🎶

I’m not trying to dog anyone….. but as a Canadian, Walden’s Pond is a fairly cute discussion of what life would be Iike, living off the land - I have read it. I do admire Thoreau, and his edicts that civil disobedience in the face of oppression is an obligation, not an option. But on Walden’s, he was within a city limit, or a village, a short walk from civilization - never in danger of the life lived in remote communities in northern Canada or Alaska. I have done 5 day hikes that were more remote than his entire time on Walden. Wade Davis, Canadian anthropologist and ethnobotanist who has lived with South American tribes, and wrote the book (and then a movie) The Serpent and the Rainbow about his doctoral thesis and zombies culture in Haiti has a good time poking fun at Thoreau’s great American outdoor adventure….. like I said, I like Thoreau and his premises, but he was not in “the wild”…..
Thanks
About what you said of Marcos ornamentations and that he didn't do that here or in the previous track, and how that is a good thing; I remember a dance teacher talking about styling in dance, and he said: if you do it all the time, it's not styling, it's a bad habit. Equally true in singing.
08:27- Makes me want to don a kilt and start ROARING...
Damn.🔥
A lot of people suggest Elvenjig+Elvenpath because of the pipes and the reference to LOTR and that it would fit on the soundtrack/score which I concur. But I've seen a comment that Elvenjig is just the guys jamming but it is a song called 'Jigs' from Troy's former band Iona.
Many of us called this song Celtic or Folk Metal. You are right about this track that it is metal. Troy is from Workington Cumberland England and not Irish. The spoken words in the beginning of the song was Welsh, but you are already know from somebody in the comments
As usual: very nice and thorough reaction/analysis... Maybe you want to check out some of Marco's individual songs. There are some "bluesish" vibes, with the addition of Marco's special voice. Maybe try the song: For you.
