I'm so happy you reacted to this one!
I knew you would be able to appreciate this. A big thank you! ☺️
@@rosmu1130 thanks Rosmu! It was incredible!
I always say, if Floor Jansen is your backup singer, you are a certified badass. Troy is playing what he calls a “low whistle”. He also plays a “tin whistle” in other songs, and of course, what he is best known for, the Uillean pipes. Keep exploring Nightwish!
I was going to say that, but you beat me to it! Dude needs a t-shirt: "Floor Jansen is my backing vocalist".
@@jeffk1482 that goes for Troy too though.
@@jeffk1482 There are quite a few singers who should have this then. Floor and Irene were backing for the Star One live in 2003 for example.
The best thing about Nightwish is that you never get precisely what you expect, there is always something more. Every time.
In the middle Marko said in Finnish "If I sing the chorus, would you sing along? You would? Ok, let's do it."
Thanks I wondered what he said.
Troy on the low whistle is an insane musician with so much talent at...well...everything :)
His speciality is the uilleann pipes and the ebow but if it makes a noise when blown, strummed or squeezed he can play it.
He brings a lot of the unique Nightwish folky sound to the band, oh and he can also sing.
Thanks for thr great info Eric!
Marko was noodling around with the song when he was still playing with Tarot alongside Nightwish, but he didn't think it was suitable for them. Tuomas offered to write lyrics for it, and it became a Nightwish song.
Marko studied classical guitar, vocals and musical theory in high school.
Thanks for thr great info Jeannette!
Marko's double neck, The Beast, is a custom Warwick bass with Framus guitar. Both brand names are owned by the same company.
The song is about a lonely lighthouse keeper.
In the back is multi-instrumentalist Troy Donockley, he is from the UK. He started playing with them in 2007, made permanent in 2013 along with Floor.
In addition to everything he plays, he also does vocals, mostly backing harmonies. But, he sang lead on Harvest from the newest album, and his vocal role has expanded since Marko left in 2021 for personal reasons.
Thanks for the great info Chris!
You have to check "While your lips are still red" from Wembley Arena.
“That guy in the back” is Troy…the sixth member of the band, whom I don’t think you’ve seen/heard before this song. He plays…well, if it’s an instrument, he plays it. As you go through more of their songs you’ll see/hear a lot more from him and the multitude of instruments he plays.
He also has a very sweet soft voice and adds backing vocals along with Marco. When all three sang together, it was very nice - Marco's strong vocals, Floors Top and Troy's soft tones really made for wonderful harmonies.
What I like most is the beginning of the song with only his voice and the guitar. Very soft and nice. And also the flute with what I call a ”folk music sound”. I always like flutes sounding like that.
This song to me shows that Nightwish can do it all. They can have their epic scores but can also do such a light folk like song and still it blows you away.
good job NOTE : Marco was using a pic on most of it he was holding the pic on the one part then switching back to it . Troy was playing a Low Whistle (note the size its long bigger around with a low sound, he also plays Tin Whistles in other songs (Note there smaller in size with a higher tone)
Troy can play: Overton low whistle (in this), Uilleann pipes, Tin whistle, vocals, guitar (Fylde Oberon), keyboards, bass guitar, pump organ, bouzouki, cittern, bodhrán, mandola, harmonium, aerophone - not all at the same level I think?
And is also a punster -
In an interview he was asked "Is there anything else you wish to learn to play (if anything)?"
Troy:"Ice Hockey!!"
𝓜𝓾𝓼𝓽𝓪 𝓛𝓪𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓪 🐿🤘🇫🇮
Lol good one. Thanks!
Don't forget he can also do fantastic magician's tricks!
@@moniquevanaken2638 Aww crap, I forgot it---😆
@@MustaLaatta 🤣🤣
Hi Bob. They're all such talented musicians. What else to say, but best wishes for the new year!
Thanks and Happy New Year to yiu Martine!
Well, they've all been in music a long time. NW had been around about 20 years at the time, Marco was in other bands before NW. Floor had been fronting bands since age 16. And I knew Troy from more than 30 years ago in my home town (York, England - he still lives nearby) playing the same instruments as now.
@@TheRealRedAce thanks for thr info!
Marko Hietala (pron: HEE-ah-Tallah) is a classically trained guitarist, bassist, songwriter and talented vocalist both solo and in harmony!
His custom Warwick double neck guitar/bass is nicknamed 'The Beast'.
To hear Marko really sing...check out his 1st band, Tarot, w song, Tides (live, Undead Indeed). A truly powerful and haunting vocal performance!
Thanks Amy!
I just miss him . That solid foundation bass, and that warm silk voice. I keep hoping he'll decide to come back, and Nightwish can have TWO bass players. Yup, I miss the Elvish Warrior.
The way Marko and Floor harmonize together is simply breathtaking. Great reaction!
They did sound awesome together.
Love this song. Marko is an amazing fireside guitarist/singer.
It's the Irish Low whistle, which Troy plays in many songs. One of a dozen instruments he can play.
A flute is a transverse instrument which the player blows across rather than into.
You'll see Troy playing bouzouki, Uilleann pipes, acoustic guitar, tin whistle and low whistle on Nightwish songs but he plays many more
Thanks for your reaction , i loved it . I have to say, there is an amazing video made for this song where we see the story unvold. It is with the former singer anette but it is Marco as the lead singer, you really need to watch that one and i hope you will do that with us because i really like to hear your reaction after listening ! and watching this amazing story. And this request comes from an absolute Floor Jansen fan. Bye!!!! Btw, i hope i get some "I CONCUR'S"" boy's and girls, lady's and gentlemen😊😊😊
Wish granted. I CONCUR! The video is GORGEOUS. As many have said of that - "Nightwish don't sit around campfires, campfires sit around Nightwish."
@Bob Cieslinksi Kind of a touching side story...
This is indeed Marko's song primarily. When the world was in lockdown, Nightwish did a live stream concert (2 nights) called "An Evening With Nightwish in a Virtual World - Live from the Islander Arms" or something much like that. The name of the concert and the backdrop visuals are all throwbacks to the original video, and a tribute to their dear Marko Hietala, who had just exited the band.
Thanks so much for the kind words and suggestion!
I concur.
@@bobcieslinski From one (former) band guy to another, I wouldn't steer you wrong. Orange Guppie is *right* - check out the original video!
I concur.
Marko Hietala also has a solo album! You should see some of the music he performs on that as it was one of the last things he did before he announced leafing Nightwish. This song here is what got me interested in Nightwish in the first place
Thanks I’ll check it out.
Now you can Imagine what great loss he is for the band. A lot of older songs will never be played again without him.
Yes I wish he was still a part of the group. Super talented guy.
Huge loss for sure. He’s very talented.
This is not what you were expecting, you say? Please, keep going on the Nightwish journey for more fun surprises :D Follow Gabriels list!
I’ve been following it. The list is fantastic.
This performance is the ultimate of the "Sea Shantys". Happy New Year, all the fellow mariners. ⛵🚣😅👍
Marco’s brother, Zachary Hietala is guitar virtuose
This is one of my favorites👌🇫🇮!
Nightwish will always surprise you. Marco is a true master musician.
He sure is Len. Blew me away at how good he can sing. His musicianship is beastly.
If you really want to see Marko (and also Tarja) to blow your mind, you need to see Nightwish's performance of Phantom of the Opera live from the End of an Era concert.🤯
It is easily the best cover of the Phantom of the Opera. And to me it is even better than the original, just my opinion of course😁
Just shut up
Tampere concert was awesome 👍
Troy is playing the Irish low thin whistle!
Great reaction to this lovely little song. Loved it.
Thanks Richard!
You may also like "How's the heart" and "Nemo" acoustic versions from Radio Rock, both only Floor and Troy with a guitar and backvocals.
Intelligent and calm one of the more enjoyable reactors Thank you.
Thank you so much Jason! I appreciate it so much. Thanks for watching! I hope to hear from you again.
Absolutely one of the best!
one of my favs as nice change of pace. love rock in all its genres. good reaction fromColorado
Thanks Richard!
Your analysis is so spot on. I’ve been listening to this number for a long time but your pointing out some of the specific parts made me listen to the music in a way that I never heard it before. I love Marko’s voice as well as Floor’s but Nightwish as a whole are just so brilliant.
My parents both passed away together a few months ago and I used a song Floor sang called Mama( in Dutch) and a solo number by Marko, “the voice of my father” at the funeral. Both songs gave me peace and I felt that they were perfect for the moment.
I’m sorry to hear about you losses Irene. This song was amazing and Marko’s voice surprised me. He is amazing! I’m glad you found some peace too.
@@bobcieslinski ua-cam.com/video/dwvqpRRCDdE/v-deo.html
You need to watch I want My Tears Back from Buenos Aires & My Walden from Wembley to meet the 6th band member Troy! Also the unplugged How's the Heart on Planet Rock, with just Troy on Acoustic guitar & Floor singing wonderfully. So good.
Thank you Bob ! With your comments I learned even more of these marvellous
musicians. I´m not a musician at all, and it´s fine for me to understand and
so hear music more rich way, in which your comment help me.
Greets from Finland. Happy New year !
Hi Pen! Thanks for the kind words! I’m glad you are enjoying my videos and Happy New Year to you!
It's a low whistle, in D.
I love how a powerful singer, with amazing stage presence, yet keeps her voice low in the mix, no ego, she recognises it's Marcos song.
Yeah she is a keeper for sure. Marco was awesome here.
That is the beauty of Nightwish, one minute they are playing a folky song like this, the next they are playing Trash Metal and the next a Jazzy song. Then you have the 30 minute epic orchestral only symphonic piece that is All The Works Of Nature Which Adorn The World and Tuomas solo work Music Inspired by the Life and Times of Scrooge. Never a boring moment.
You said it. So good.
Listen to I Want My Tears Back from the Wembley concert. It features Troy and his instruments.
Bob best wishes for 2023. Please with a Nightwish reaction watch till the very end, you will find out why. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Thanks and Happy New Year!

‼️ Great again ‼️ It’s every time a good time to watch your analysis es… next could be: I want my tears back (live from Buenos Aires)
Thanks so much Andy!
Happy new year! You should try to react to 'My walden' from this concert too. How surprising totally different.
Happy New Year Miggie! Thanks I’ll check it out.
glad you did this one!
It’s so good Trina. I love them now. They are amazing musicians.
@@bobcieslinski They are and it is so good to see some one else appreciate the diversity in musicianship by all members.
@@trinadawn4166 thanks they all deserve it.
I've been enjoying your Nightwish reactions, and appreciate the detailed comments. As I was watching a few this morning, I picked up two 'asks' on your part; one posed in this reaction for what to listen to next, and the other during your Ever Dream reaction, for something on the softer side. My first suggestion is Weak Fantasy, from Tampere in 2015, which is the same show as 'The Islander'. It's a heavy song that shows off everyone, including new drummer Kai Hahto and also how Floor and Marko can blend in heavy harmony and in unison. The second song is Sleeping Sun, live at Masters of Rock in 2015. The way that she and Nightwish can calm a huge metal crowd with a soft song always amazes me. Thanks and have fun with the journey!
Thanks Bob! Happy New Year!
Marko and Floor harmonise like butter on toast. Floor is silky smooth here balanced by Marko’s little bit of crunch. Sublime.
Yeah they sounded amazing together. What a fantastic song. Everythjng they do is amazing.
Troy is playing an alto whistle. There's an actual distinction between whistles and flutes. You blow into a whistle, you blow across a flute. Thus a recorder is technically a soprano whistle, except it's in C instead of Bb. Orchestral whistles typically come in Bb and Eb just like saxophones, clarinets, and most other woodwinds where C melody is the "oddity".
That's why Picard's "flute" from TNG is actually a whistle, not a flute.
And yes, that's only the alto. You should hear a tenor or bari.
Your Enlish are show fluent and clear that i forget, im Finnish .. but good for me, becouse i'm learning english... Nightwish band fan about 25 years..
They are awesome and Marco was incredible.
Really great reaction. As others may have said (I didn't scroll too far down the comments) - you do yourself a disservice by stopping any Nightwish video before it ends. On this one, you missed Floor's wonderful smile as Marko walked back to the stage. It just shows how much the band loves one another and appreciates what they do. On others, just the way Floor says "Thank you" at the end of a song can make you tear up, or there may be some comments made to the audience.
Thanks David! I’ll have to watch longer. I just figured people would not want to see the credits. Thanks !
Ha….Nightwish fans love every second of the videos!
More Nightwish please! :D
Troy plays everything ... This is a Low B flat whistle, I think 😁
Make that a D.
@@Paul_C Thats odd my Overton Low D is a lot shorter than the one Troy is playing and I can play this on my standard B flat whistle .... 😎
@@Paul_C Yep confirmed mate The Islander is in B flat minor ... I also have a Low C , can't afford the Low B flat CRAZY money! 😁
@@Paul_C Whistles are ~diatonic which means you have to grab the one nearest to the key of the song your playing to .. FYI
I'd love for you to react to While Your Lips Are Still Red (Wembley) and the Pink Floyd cover High Hopes. And of course The Phantom of the Opera with Tarja.
I’ll them to thr list. Thanks!
Hi nice reaction
When you have a song where Floor Yansen is your "backup" singer... We'll miss you being a part of Nightwish, Mr. Hietala.
It's my understanding that the difference between a flute and a whistle is the direction of the breath, a flute blows across the mouthpiece vs whistle blows directly into.
Yep you are right.
Marco’s and Zachary’s band name is TAROT. Found youtube…
I've been binging your Nightwish and Lovebites reactions and it's refreshing to see a reactor that knows music and can appreciate different types of music. Idk if you've been "warned" about The Warning but they are a young up and coming hard rock power trio from Mexico and to say that they are phenomenal would be an understatement. They are all sisters: Dany(22 years old), Pau (20), and Ale (just turned 18 last month). They don't have a single song that I would consider to be mediocre in their whole catalog which is 3 albums, an EP, and 2 singles that aren't on a project. I highly recommend checking them out and I would start with something from their most recent album, ERROR, which was produced by David Bendeth, either CHOKE, DISCIPLE, or the title track but like I said you can't go wrong with any of their songs. The fanbase for The Warning, like Nightwish, is known as The Warning Army and it's the greatest and most welcoming fanbase in the world, we are all united in our love for the Villarreal sisters! Once again great reaction as always!
Thanks Kirk! I’ve got them on my list already. Someone suggested them when they made a donation to me. Thanks for watching my videos. I appreciate the kind words too!
The talk that's not translated goes "If I sing the chorus will you sing along? yeah. Are you sure? YEAH! ok lets do it"
Thanks Eddie!
Hey man would love to see a reaction too , Yellow Days - A Little While. He has a different voice that I think you would really jam too !!
You hand holding mine and how can I love .. two more songs that really show off his voice and different style
Of course, the length of the flute/whistle gives away the range it produces
Yep
👍👍😍😍👍👍
🤩👌💥💯
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
"Weak Fantasy" live at Tampere 2015 next by them (???)
Marko wrote the tune, but it did not fit his solo group, so he presented it to Tuomas, and Tuomas was inspired to write these lyrics. 2 masters = pure greatness for us to enjoy.
please do reaction of song creek Mary's blood 2005 from end of an era concert.
I don't know If you listened to the original version,which is Anette playing the female vocal.
I have not.
He is actually using a pick and also use the fingers to pick
The unsubbed words Marko says are his question to the audience if they will sing the next chorus along with him. And ofcourse they do.
Thanks Art!
🇫🇮🌹👏
Troy has a huge tin whistle.😃

If you like Marko's vocals, perhaps I can interest you in one of his originals performed sans Nightwish? In English, the song is The Voice of My Father, in Finnish it's Isäni ääni. I'll link you to both, because some folks like to review both versions, since it's a relatively short one at just over four and a half minutes. FYI, the videos are the same with the exception the English version is blurred so you can't see he's not singing in English.

First he uses a pick, then he starts finger picking, hiding the pick between his hand and his long finger. That is a tecnique in itself!
It sure is lefty
This was nice. I dont often hear anyone doing a reaction video of the Islander. I like this. But in all honesty, I prefer the other video they made. The one with the older band members sitting in a circle of fire.... Seems to be more in-depth as far as his singing abilities.. Just an opinion. ua-cam.com/video/--tFFz44zvc/v-deo.html
Thanks so much! Gabriel gave me a great list to follow.
@@bobcieslinski I hope you get as much enjoyment, as Nightwish in all it's forms have given me.
