BTW Elizabeth and The Charismatic Voice crew. Kurk, can you ask if she would react 1 of these songs. Floor Jansen's cover Agape(Such a great song), Shudder before the Beautiful from Wembley 2015 or Nemo. Preferably Floor's version or then do double react Tarja's and bands concert from 2005 Helsinki or Floor's Wacken 2013 version. Also there are such a gems in Wembley 2015, Elizabeth should react to those. Good harmonies, little different music, new instruments and such.
I realy love your facial expressions listening to Floor and Troy, Elizabeth (in other video's as wel). It alway's makes me smile. Love it that you are so dedicated. Thank you for making me smile! 😉
@@aris8332 Not just the sick industry. The disgusting double morals of Theocratic regimes that would jail and execute their own citizens if they even thought about writing a song like GSOE or Shoemaker celebrating science above superstitious bullshit (read religion) while at the same time using their oil money buying into companies and profiting off that same music!
Well that just sucks...after reading this comment I did a search and saw the news...this is very sad news.....I hope Nightwish goes on, hope he finds what he needs to find....too bad though......
You're in for a real treat Elizabeth. No frills, no gimmicks, nothing to hide behind: just four microphones, a guitar and two voices. Tuomas wrote this song for Floor and her family (her daughter Freja and her husband Hannes) as a token of gratitude and appreciation for when she stepped in the middle of their 2012 tour (replacing Annette) and saved the tour itself (and the band).
"We met where the cliff greets the sea" is a direct reference to the song "Elan" from the previous album, with the line "Meet me where the cliff greets the sea." Also, the entire verse is written especially for Floor - meeting Hannes, "took the leap" of getting together with and marrying him, and "Now there's one who came from me/ A Child of Light, another tale" is their daughter Freja.
They do that in a lot of their songs, referencing lyrics from past songs or other songs from the same album. Best example I can think of right now is Alpenglow which references two other songs. The "We Were Here" is repeated in Greatest Show on Earth, and they also have a line "building a Walden of our own" referencing the song My Walden.
@@SightUnseen555 Also the Dead Boy concept reappears many times - for example in the chorus for Song of Myself: "What is left for encore is the same old dead boy's song" :)
I remember one article where Floor said that this song is special to her because "How's the heart?" is actually way more than "How are you?". When you are asking "How are you?" its actually is easy to say "Thanks i am fine". But by asking "How's the heart?" you actually go one step further as if you go past "Thanks i am fine" by saying "Ok i sense you are fine but... how is the heart?" - that's why its an ode to empathy, asking for how one REALLY feels
Yeah. Marco leaving Nightwish... Understanding the reasons behind his desision... But still... He was a huge part of the band. Similar feelings right now when Tarja left Nightwish. What is Nightwish going to be like without Marco?
@@overdosedmiawallace According to him. No. And has asked that no one would ask him into a music projects atleast in a year. But never say never... He has had enough of music right now. Consentrating on family now...
@@mikkoammer7810 i read the Instagram post but i'm afraid i might be too positive, i kinda understood he would come back in 2022. Now reading the comments i'm not sure
@@overdosedmiawallace There were a interview in finnish and the message was quite clear. He has had enough for now. He also said that he would only return if he would find inspiration again and if music would be fun again. There's some mental issues he is battling right now, but also said he is ok and nothing to be worried about.
I was fine during the day but after reading this I don't why but started to cry. I feel so sad, so heart broken and it's silly because Marko is alive, he is taking his time for himself and for healing. Nightwish has bringing me so many happy memories since more than 15 years. I only wish that Marko gets well and Nightwish survive this loss.
I have the impression that many people didn't get that Marko didn't just leave Nightwish to play somewhere else. He announced that he left his public life to deal with his depression issues privately, but he also wrote that he's ok, he's not alone in this dark moment and he hinted that his "retirement" may not be definitive. Let's hope.
omg The acoustic version of How's the Heart; what a gem, a vocal masterpiece by Floor and perfect guitars and back vocals by Troy. You will love this Elizabeth; what a pleasure to watch. 💖🤘💥🎤🎵
Love the song so much. It is my fave PF song. I didn't get to see it live when I saw Nightwish in 04, I got Crazy Train instead from Marco instead. My fave Ozzy song, so I couldn't lose!
The hearts in the Nightwish Family are terrible broken since the sad announcement done by Marko this day 💔😢. He will be our Forever Viking in the NW fam.
I literally started crying when I heard this song today after I heard that Marko has decided that he will leave nightwish😭♥️ I completely understand him but it hurts really bad...
I love Nightwish but I think without Marko the band lost a lot of the soul of Nightwish, it's like Zeppelin without Bonham. Maybe uncle henk can play the Bass and save Nightwish 😅
That last smile by Troy as he leans backwards when they are done make me so insanely happy. :) The whole performance is just beautiful. Thank you for pointing out all the great technique she is using!!
Toumas often uses transitional images.... where the cliff meets the sea.... on a shore... that sort of thing. They aren't literal per se, in my opinion, they are symbols of points where things change. That section is about Floor meeting her husband to be Hannes both at them in a pivotal point in their life where they were, perhaps unconsciously, looking for someone to share it with.
Hello lovely fans! If you're enjoying my reaction & analysis videos and learning more about music, I recommend checking out my Music Appreciation Course! This course deep dives into time signatures, tempo, pitch, dynamics, key, music production, and most of all, vocal registers! I guarantee it will make your music listening experience that much better. You can find the course on my website here: thecharismaticvoice.com/music-appreciation/
Elizabeth - Truly, and humbly, thank you for these videos. This really has been a lonely and empty time in our history as a world, and if I hadn't been home as much as I am right now, I might not have discovered your lovely channel and your intelligent reactions, discussion, and analysis. It's just gravy on top that you are becoming a fan of a band I discovered back in 2006 (and many more discovered way earlier...and I'm jealous of them in a way). I really enjoy your videos and learning more about the science and technique behind all of these songs. It's easy to take for granted all the work and talent that goes in behind the scenes, but you bring it right out front and center and help us to appreciate the hard work that our favorite singers and songwriters are doing day in and day out. They really are earning their pay and you're showing us exactly why. Thank you for what you're doing. You are an absolutely beautiful presence and I think the world is better for having you in it.
Please check out Floor's "Shallow" from Beste Zangers... its a very stripped down acoustical take on the Lady Gaga song, Floor makes it her own though!! I've never been able to listen to the song without tearing up, Floor is such a powerful vocalist!!
Elizabeth. Will your course tell how to make people tear up and giggle at the same time like Floor can do after 3 notes? If you can work that one out, I am guessing you would be the most in demend vocal coach on the planet!
Hi Elizabeth! I like all your reactions i'd see very much! You are the best reactor here for me, really! My top 3 reactors are you and than Constance and Julia Nilon, you are my personal top 3! But i will ask you something. Could you react the song "In Orbit" from Evergrey ft. Floor Jansen from 2016 the official clip? I found that song today, i dont't know it bevore but he's beautiful and i like them very much, and i'm sure you also will like it! Than you could do from Sirenia the songs "Dim Days of Dolor" and "Path to Decay", the official video clips. And than from Theatre of Tragedy the songs "Storm", "Siren" or "Tanz der Schatten" (Dance of shadows, i think). I'm really sure you will like every single one of that songs. But if you will do only one song of them than do "In Orbit" from Evergrey with Floor. If you have some time than look the other songs by yourself, i'm sure you like them all. And maybe we see some reactions about one or all of them somedays. Greetings to you from 🇪🇺Vienna🇦🇹! Keep care of you!
Dear Elizabeth, may I suggest You a reaction? In Italy we had an interesting singer, passed away many years ago. But he made the history of progressive rock here, with AREA group. Than he dedicated to diplophonics and triplophonics sounds. Here is a record of his sperimentale work. ua-cam.com/video/kZk3hH2yEto/v-deo.html
Nightwish Army south Brittany France reporting. Let's talk about Troy, I play guitar, but when I hear guitarists like Troy I say I own a guitar. Beautiful looking guitar, the way he turned it into a percussion instrument, along with all his other musical skills, he's such a talent.
I bumped into your channel yesterday, listening to Pantera and immediately wanting to check if you had anything on Opeth (and there was!). Then, as a Finn, I was very curious on your reactions on Nightwish, listening until 2 am only to hear today the news on Marko’s retirement. I wanted to thank you on one particular gift your videos gave me; I feel that you made me to enjoy all music even more than before. Thank you so much! ❤️
This is one of my favourite Floor singing vids. Completely beautiful AND inspiring. I will be back for the reaction. Floor at her very best and a side dish of Troy for awesome playing and singing. One not to be missed. Isn't the rephrasing towards the end awesome!!!!!!
I always learn so much from your analyses. Thank you for doing what you do. Also, thank you for your supporting comments about mental health and helping each other. As you've been told below, Marko is taking some time off. We each have only so much energy to give life, and sometimes sharing and understanding make the difference.
My opinion of this song is, as per usual, the live version ( Troy and Floor only) is superior to the album version ( and the album version is fantastic). Welcome the the Nightwish law of increasing awesomeness.
The album version and live acoustic are almost two different songs which is crazy. Elizabeth will love this one though. The vocals are more prominent in my opinion.
The most powerful (and moving) acoustic version of anything in the last several years. The studio original is also of particular note, btw, due, if nothing else, to exquisite TRIPLE harmonies towards the end! Long live NIGHTWISH, whatever happens...
Wonderful reaction! On the whole breathe hanging over and control thing, her rendition of Lady Gaga's Shallow from Beste Zangers will certainly give you chills!
Hi Elizabeth, Congratulations on reaching 225K Subscribers! I Loved this Acoustic performance, your reaction and your New Outfit/Top! This song was stunning and Floor and Troy were absolutely Amazing! The melodic lines were great to showcase Floor's vocal talent (runs, key changes and breath control) and Troy's Guitar playing was Elegant and Beautiful, as was his voice! Thank You, Elizabeth, You're the BEST!!! ❤ ❤ ❤
Listening to this song, goosebumps, chills, with your lovely commentary, your composure, being yourself, hearing about Marko leaving Nightwish a few hours ago, reading the comments below, that was just too much. Tears streaming down my face. Love you, love you all, W.
My heart is SO heavy. Marko-less Nightwish 💔 😭. About the song; The part about "where the cliffs greet the sea/took the leap" & "Now there's one who came from me" are Tuomas's sweet nod to Floor meeting her future husband Sabaton drummer Hannes Van Dahl on a tour and the birth of their daughter, Freja. "Where cliffs greet the sea/took the leap" is also a callback to the song "Élan".
I don’t think I fully appreciated this song until I saw it performed live (and I mean live live not a live vid on UA-cam) It really puts the artistry of the song into a new perspective, and those vocal gymnastics you mentioned. Easily one of my new favorites.
Elizabeth says she's a person that keeps things "bottled-up." ROFL The slightest thought or emotion shows on her face & body language like a 60-ft, neon lit billboard!
If you really want to hear Troy sing, I definitely recommend Harvest by Nightwish. Unfortunately there isn't a live version yet due to covid, but the entire song is incredible
I love this rendition and wish it were available as a download (although the album version is excellent too). Being a great admirer of Floor's voice, this stripped-back recording really does her talent justice as you can hear everything she is doing and she is doing it superbly. It is slightly unfortunate to have this post going up the same day that Marko announces his decision to leave Nightwish. It is sad, and adds an extra dimension to this song's lyrics and intent, given his reasons for leaving. That should not distract us, however, from how great this is. Thanks for your typically excellent analysis too, Elizabeth - always a pleasure to see and hear both the warmth and knowledge you bring.
TY ! I opened UA-cam today and my mood was shattered by the news that Marko leaves NW. Watching you had an effect: My heart is better now ! All they have done already will stay forever.
I’ve been watching your reactions for months, but this is my first comment. I absolutely love your channel. You are so knowledgeable and so able to express your emotions. I look forward to your new posts! Keep up the amazing works. You are incredible!!
That was a superb reaction Elizabeth - you are such a lovely professional voice nerd 😉 knowing - and appreciating other super singers. I know Marko has left Nightwish, and I fully gets why he has done it, and I really respect him even more now, for standing by his free spirit, soul and thoughts. Don't live on unacceptable compromises. And it doesn't change anything on your reaction - that was - superb 👌👍🤘🤘
I watched your reaction like a year or so ago but today I watched again and noticed Troy’s big smile on that very last note. Just proof of how much hè loved it too. Floor often smiles whilst singing, she just loves her work!
Nightwish's Song of Myself has always been a powerful piece for me specifically. You should definitely check it out. Live is great, but the album version has so much more emotion to it.
I've been listening to Human Nature on my way to and from work lately and this song always has me tearing up. The music, the lyrics, the message...it's a powerful song. Stripped back like this? Wow.
I LOVE this song and Floor's and Troy's stripped-down rendition of it. I LOVE your reaction to it and your analysis of the song and the performance. I agree - it simply makes one feel GOOD! What a pleasure to see you, Floor and Troy together, so to speak.
My heart was so happy because of your reaction, and my heart is so heavy after I read the comments about Marco right after that. Honestly, I am in pieces. That also means I can't see live my favorites together, and never been on a concert of theirs yet... I am sad, but I wish many hugs for him, and all the best. Also, I have to listen the Endlessness now.
Hello Elizabeth! Thank you for that reaction! It was really fun to see that you enjoy this song very much! I like that and yesterday when i see you will react this song i wrote you i'm sure you will love it! I also like Floor very much, she's one of the best or the best singer i've ever heard. Floor sing here in so much different, not really stiles but i don''t find the right words, you know what i mean. And Troy is such a good guitar player. But today there are really bad knews, i don't know if you read, hear or see it Marco leave the band today! I was really shocked! It's really sad and i'm really tired about that, but i wish him only the best! He wrot a letter on her FB site if you would know more about that and why he need it, i wan't write here wrong things. We have to accept. But the show must go on and Nightwish wrote that the Tour will come, more i won't write. Greetings to you from 🇦🇹Vienna!
1 thank you for another great reaction. 2 damn..... Marko, will mis him 3 you’ve said that you would like to hear more from Marcela Bovio (the redhead in Ayreon’s valley of the queens) and Mike Mills (binaire Pavarotti). How about Aeryon - the theory of everything live. It’s with just the two of them singing and it’s great.
This is an amazing rendition of this song that truly let's you get right into Floor's vocal talent. You can tell there is very little post on this. Looking forward to your reaction.
I can only describe your videos as something akin of wine tasting, where you discover the different hidden flavours (notes) and how they interact, but with singing and music instead. What a great experience. Again, thank you for your content! It's really appreciated!
It is really amazing that you hear every detail of each song you listen to. It's always a pleasure to listen to your comments. And yes, your smile is as lovely as Floor's.
TCV, just want you to know how much I look forward to your videos and analysis. You are my happy place of respite 3 days a week. I look forward to Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. Thank you!
Great reaction Elisabeth (you are my fav Reactor about singing)but the sad message of this Day..MARKO leaves Nightwish..i think, 2020 is not over😓 i hope Marko finds his Heart.
Thank you for your beautiful and thoughtful analysis to this excellent performance on this sad news day. But life goes on and greetings from winter storm Finland! ⛄❄
We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com
BTW Elizabeth and The Charismatic Voice crew. Kurk, can you ask if she would react 1 of these songs. Floor Jansen's cover Agape(Such a great song), Shudder before the Beautiful from Wembley 2015 or Nemo. Preferably Floor's version or then do double react Tarja's and bands concert from 2005 Helsinki or Floor's Wacken 2013 version. Also there are such a gems in Wembley 2015, Elizabeth should react to those. Good harmonies, little different music, new instruments and such.
I realy love your facial expressions listening to Floor and Troy, Elizabeth (in other video's as wel). It alway's makes me smile. Love it that you are so dedicated. Thank you for making me smile! 😉
I think Marko asked himself Hows the Heart and now we have the answer. Not well. Wish him the best.
Yes, you tell what i feel 😞 Stay safe MARKO
I support Marko’s statements about the sick industry.
I respect his decision and wish him well. I hope he finds the validation he's searching for, and if he does I hope he returns to the Nightwish family.
@@aris8332 Not just the sick industry. The disgusting double morals of Theocratic regimes that would jail and execute their own citizens if they even thought about writing a song like GSOE or Shoemaker celebrating science above superstitious bullshit (read religion) while at the same time using their oil money buying into companies and profiting off that same music!
Well that just sucks...after reading this comment I did a search and saw the news...this is very sad news.....I hope Nightwish goes on, hope he finds what he needs to find....too bad though......

Rose uprooted= Floor moving to Sweden.
Tuomas is so sensitive and thoughtful of people he loves and that are in his life. This is a beautiful verse

Yay, this I have to see. Btw, an hour ago Marko Hietala announced, he's leaving Nightwish 😭. I guess video has a new meaning today.
Yeah. Marco leaving Nightwish... Understanding the reasons behind his desision... But still... He was a huge part of the band. Similar feelings right now when Tarja left Nightwish.
What is Nightwish going to be like without Marco?
Will he come back?

In Elan she sings "meet me where the cliff greets the sea" I thought it was a reference to that.
@@TeeheeCat Yes, Elan was the the first single with Floor, I don't think that is the meaning of the lyrics in Elan
You couldn't have known when you made this but right now the heart is extremely sad... 😥
it shure is
We can only wish him the best and hope he returns with a new passion.
Sad hearts today for sure!
I was fine during the day but after reading this I don't why but started to cry.
I feel so sad, so heart broken and it's silly because Marko is alive, he is taking his time for himself and for healing.
Nightwish has bringing me so many happy memories since more than 15 years.
I only wish that Marko gets well and Nightwish survive this loss.

Who else but floor can put this off. Not a easy song to sing, but she did it effortlessly and flawlessly. She is indeed the Valkyrie Queen of Metal
omg The acoustic version of How's the Heart; what a gem, a vocal masterpiece by Floor and perfect guitars and back vocals by Troy.
You will love this Elizabeth; what a pleasure to watch. 💖🤘💥🎤🎵
You should do "High hopes" from end of an Era, because today truly is just that with Marco leaving.
It hurts, but its still so good.
Love the song so much. It is my fave PF song. I didn't get to see it live when I saw Nightwish in 04, I got Crazy Train instead from Marco instead. My fave Ozzy song, so I couldn't lose!
Yes please, very fitting for this moment
The hearts in the Nightwish Family are terrible broken since the sad announcement done by Marko this day 💔😢. He will be our Forever Viking in the NW fam.
Yes Marko, is in our hearts..the Nightwish family loves you..
The second verse is about Floor meeting her husband Hannes and they having their daughter Freja. Tuomas wrote it for Floor.
I'm actually wondering how I'll feel about this on this very sad day. The day Marko announced his resignation from Nightwish... 😭💔
😳😓
Agreed
The heart is heavy...💔😭
This song shows just how pretty and warm Floors voice is, she can tell a story with the sounds alone.
I literally started crying when I heard this song today after I heard that Marko has decided that he will leave nightwish😭♥️ I completely understand him but it hurts really bad...
It was a shock when I learned about it in the live chat for this release.
@@TheCharismaticVoice yeah I completely understand!
I love Nightwish but I think without Marko the band lost a lot of the soul of Nightwish, it's like Zeppelin without Bonham. Maybe uncle henk can play the Bass and save Nightwish 😅
@@TheCharismaticVoice you must check Nightwish deep silent complete live Buenos Aires. And react to Ghost! XD.
Floor and Troy makes magic together. Like an ode to Marco.
That last smile by Troy as he leans backwards when they are done make me so insanely happy. :) The whole performance is just beautiful. Thank you for pointing out all the great technique she is using!!
Yes. Like he's thinking 'Wow. She just did that."
Troy's smile at the end says it all...
I ❤ the reaction and breakdown of this song. Thanks!
Oh my heart!! Marko just announced this morning that he's leaving the band 💔 Luckily the music can never be erased.
Floor and Troy singing “come in, the fire’s warm” in harmony is just about the most comforting thing I’ve ever heard. Love this rendition SO much.
When Nightwish does live shows again I think this should be THE version of this song to play. Absolutely sublime.
Good news, it is!
Just wanna point out that ppl seem to forget how awesome Troy is, he joined as a official member to the band same time with Floor! Awesome dude!
Troy was playing a lot way back in the Anette days, I wonder if there is an instrument he can't play. This guitar part was very clean.
I STILL do love you, Elizabeth 💖💖
Your fangirl-voice-nerd-technique-lover reactions NEVER get old!
Thank you, Davide!

Dont apologize for stopping, I'm still amzed by this song after over 100 times listening it.
We've met "Where the Cliff Greets the sea..." That's a line from their song "Elan"
My favorite acoustic of them

How the heart. Sad. Marco is gone, I'm sad.
Great reaction.
And good luck Marco in your future endeavors

What a fitting song for a reaction after today's news. Marko, I hope your heart feels better soon! 💔😢
I haven't even heard this one yet. I know it's gonna be good, because Nightwish is awesome.
My opinion of this song is, as per usual, the live version ( Troy and Floor only) is superior to the album version ( and the album version is fantastic). Welcome the the Nightwish law of increasing awesomeness.
Haha, I'm excited for people that haven't seen this performance yet! There's a huuuge moment in it, definitely not one to miss.
The album version and live acoustic are almost two different songs which is crazy. Elizabeth will love this one though. The vocals are more prominent in my opinion.
Recognizing something's there is one thing, giving acknowledgement upon it, that is in my experience the most defining moment for people.
The most powerful (and moving) acoustic version of anything in the last several years. The studio original is also of particular note, btw, due, if nothing else, to exquisite TRIPLE harmonies towards the end! Long live NIGHTWISH, whatever happens...
Today for all of us is a sad day, but you and Floor made it a little better, so thank you.
Yes, yes, and more yes. I have been requesting this one for awhile now. I can’t wait. Thank you!!!!!
Hope you like it!
Wonderful reaction! On the whole breathe hanging over and control thing, her rendition of Lady Gaga's Shallow from Beste Zangers will certainly give you chills!
Hi Elizabeth, Congratulations on reaching 225K Subscribers! I Loved this Acoustic performance, your reaction and your New Outfit/Top! This song was stunning and Floor and Troy were absolutely Amazing! The melodic lines were great to showcase Floor's vocal talent (runs, key changes and breath control) and Troy's Guitar playing was Elegant and Beautiful, as was his voice! Thank You, Elizabeth, You're the BEST!!! ❤ ❤ ❤
Thanks Kirby!
Nice reaction, especially for first time for lyrics, my second listen to your reaction, very detailed.
I think this gonna be awesome. Floor is majestic in this rendition, also Troy, and Elizabeth is always kind and generous.
This version of the song always makes my heart warm. Your joy for this song made me smile. Thank you for the reaction.
You are such a sweetie. Your positivity, your smile. Makes me forget all the shit and drama in the world. More of this please.
Listening to this song, goosebumps, chills, with your lovely commentary, your composure, being yourself, hearing about Marko leaving Nightwish a few hours ago, reading the comments below, that was just too much. Tears streaming down my face.
Love you, love you all, W.
My heart is SO heavy. Marko-less Nightwish 💔 😭. About the song; The part about "where the cliffs greet the sea/took the leap" & "Now there's one who came from me" are Tuomas's sweet nod to Floor meeting her future husband Sabaton drummer Hannes Van Dahl on a tour and the birth of their daughter, Freja. "Where cliffs greet the sea/took the leap" is also a callback to the song "Élan".
I don’t think I fully appreciated this song until I saw it performed live (and I mean live live not a live vid on UA-cam) It really puts the artistry of the song into a new perspective, and those vocal gymnastics you mentioned. Easily one of my new favorites.
Today's sad news that Marco has just left nightwish . He will be missed but we thank him for all the music he gave us ❤️
Elizabeth says she's a person that keeps things "bottled-up." ROFL The slightest thought or emotion shows on her face & body language like a 60-ft, neon lit billboard!
Yeah, I love seeing that!
LMFO!
I've listened to this acoustic version easily several hundred times since they did it for the media tour and still can't get enough.
Scrolling down to comment about the reaction, reads comments..
Now my heart is heavy 😔
Magnificent Floor.😍
If you really want to hear Troy sing, I definitely recommend Harvest by Nightwish. Unfortunately there isn't a live version yet due to covid, but the entire song is incredible
BTW about this performance. Outstanding. Take a bow Floor and Troy!
I love this rendition and wish it were available as a download (although the album version is excellent too). Being a great admirer of Floor's voice, this stripped-back recording really does her talent justice as you can hear everything she is doing and she is doing it superbly.
It is slightly unfortunate to have this post going up the same day that Marko announces his decision to leave Nightwish. It is sad, and adds an extra dimension to this song's lyrics and intent, given his reasons for leaving. That should not distract us, however, from how great this is.
Thanks for your typically excellent analysis too, Elizabeth - always a pleasure to see and hear both the warmth and knowledge you bring.
TY !
I opened UA-cam today and my mood was shattered by the news that Marko leaves NW.
Watching you had an effect: My heart is better now !
All they have done already will stay forever.
I’ve been watching your reactions for months, but this is my first comment. I absolutely love your channel. You are so knowledgeable and so able to express your emotions. I look forward to your new posts! Keep up the amazing works. You are incredible!!
A sad day for us all. Time to hear some nightwish! Thank you Marko!
That was a superb reaction Elizabeth - you are such a lovely professional voice nerd 😉 knowing - and appreciating other super singers.
I know Marko has left Nightwish, and I fully gets why he has done it, and I really respect him even more now, for standing by his free spirit, soul and thoughts. Don't live on unacceptable compromises.
And it doesn't change anything on your reaction - that was - superb
👌👍🤘🤘
I can't stop watching your reacts. Feed me moooore!
It’s a beautiful song you will really like it.
Saw them do this version live last week. It Was amazing and definitely gave me goosebumps.
Please do Dreamflight of Floors band After Forever 2007 live at Progpower
I watched your reaction like a year or so ago but today I watched again and noticed Troy’s big smile on that very last note. Just proof of how much hè loved it too. Floor often smiles whilst singing, she just loves her work!
Nightwish's Song of Myself has always been a powerful piece for me specifically. You should definitely check it out. Live is great, but the album version has so much more emotion to it.
I've been listening to Human Nature on my way to and from work lately and this song always has me tearing up. The music, the lyrics, the message...it's a powerful song. Stripped back like this? Wow.
Vocal champion, Queen and Goddess, most of the time casually mass healing stadiusm of people.... FLoorever!
I LOVE this song and Floor's and Troy's stripped-down rendition of it. I LOVE your reaction to it and your analysis of the song and the performance. I agree - it simply makes one feel GOOD! What a pleasure to see you, Floor and Troy together, so to speak.
hope Marco finds the peace he needs. may we all find our own Walden. 🤘✌❤❣💕💞💓💗💘💝
My heart was so happy because of your reaction, and my heart is so heavy after I read the comments about Marco right after that. Honestly, I am in pieces. That also means I can't see live my favorites together, and never been on a concert of theirs yet... I am sad, but I wish many hugs for him, and all the best. Also, I have to listen the Endlessness now.
The second verse is actually a nice gesture from Tuomas to Floor, as it refers to how she met her husband.
I‘m always smiling from ear to ear when Iook your gratious reviews!
What a day to ask How's the heart. 😔😭
Hello Elizabeth! Thank you for that reaction! It was really fun to see that you enjoy this song very much! I like that and yesterday when i see you will react this song i wrote you i'm sure you will love it! I also like Floor very much, she's one of the best or the best singer i've ever heard. Floor sing here in so much different, not really stiles but i don''t find the right words, you know what i mean. And Troy is such a good guitar player. But today there are really bad knews, i don't know if you read, hear or see it Marco leave the band today! I was really shocked! It's really sad and i'm really tired about that, but i wish him only the best! He wrot a letter on her FB site if you would know more about that and why he need it, i wan't write here wrong things. We have to accept. But the show must go on and Nightwish wrote that the Tour will come, more i won't write.
Greetings to you from 🇦🇹Vienna!
1 thank you for another great reaction.
2 damn..... Marko, will mis him
3 you’ve said that you would like to hear more from Marcela Bovio (the redhead in Ayreon’s valley of the queens) and Mike Mills (binaire Pavarotti). How about Aeryon - the theory of everything live. It’s with just the two of them singing and it’s great.
Floor is just perfection...... I've never been so moved by a singer, ... ever
This is an amazing rendition of this song that truly let's you get right into Floor's vocal talent. You can tell there is very little post on this. Looking forward to your reaction.
tarja,jukka,anette and marko we miss,but nightwish train go on. thanx to great react and have great day there.
I absolutely love the broken up chorus section. Absolutely phenomenal. You tell me ONE other singer that can do that. You can't. She's just too good
I can only describe your videos as something akin of wine tasting, where you discover the different hidden flavours (notes) and how they interact, but with singing and music instead. What a great experience. Again, thank you for your content! It's really appreciated!
“Nightwish, they seem like they have a really good vibe together”.
Me, being a fan for 14 years: *SOBS* YEAH THEY DO omfg 😭
It is really amazing that you hear every detail of each song you listen to. It's always a pleasure to listen to your comments. And yes, your smile is as lovely as Floor's.
Floor is giving a masterclass where she also explains the breathingtechnique that she uses.
TCV, just want you to know how much I look forward to your videos and analysis. You are my happy place of respite 3 days a week. I look forward to Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. Thank you!
Definitely fangirling... lots of floorgasm
Great reaction Elisabeth (you are my fav Reactor about singing)but the sad message of this Day..MARKO leaves Nightwish..i think, 2020 is not over😓 i hope Marko finds his Heart.
I do as well, and hope he finds peace away from show business for a while. Thank you, Ralf!
Thank you for your beautiful and thoughtful analysis to this excellent performance on this sad news day. But life goes on and greetings from winter storm Finland! ⛄❄
