R.I.P Ann Waychoff mother of the Nightwish Army.
June 28th, 2020 .
Ann was a big Nightwish Fan.
And every new person who listened to NW, she went through a little chat.
And gave them some info about NW.
This was her favorite song.
And this song belongs to her.
I like very much that Gabriel have continue Ann s work.... so her heritage is still here.
RIP, Ann.
R.I.P Ann and thanks to Gabriel. I really love this amazing nightwish family.
God bless you Ann, R.I.P
To Ann ❤️
I just finished shooting and edting this video and it's almost 2 AM in here, so I hope you guys enjoy this reaction and my speechless-ness, yet again haha! This is some of the most fun I've had during a reaction!!
I enjoyed fucking hell yeah! 🔥🔥🔥🤘🏽my favorite band!😝😝😝🤩
This was right after Ghost Love Score. Can you imagine? Man, I wish I had been at this concert!
SAME!!
It is based on a poem in 52 chapters by Walt Whitman (US 1819-1892)
" Song of myself" 1855
There is an extended version of this song with some of the verses of this poem spoken and showen at the end. See below, and some of these you can also see on the ledscreen in the video you just saw. So bucle up, it goes very deep.
" I see a slow, simple youngster by a busy street
With a begging bowl in his shaking hand
Trying to smile but hurting infinitely
Nobody notices
I do, but walk by
An old man gets naked and kisses a model-doll in his attic
It's half-light and he's in tears
When he finally comes his eyes are cascading
I see a beaten dog in a pungent alley
He tries to bite me
All pride has left his wild drooling eyes
I wish I had my leg to spare
A mother visits her son,
Smiles to him through the bars
She's never loved him more
An obese girl enters an elevator with me
All dressed up fancy
A green butterfly on her neck
Terribly sweet perfume deafens me
She's going to dinner alone
That makes her even more beautiful
I see a model's face on a brick wall
A statue of porcelain perfection beside a violent city kill
A city that worships flesh
The first thing I ever heard
Was a wandering man telling his story
It was you, the grass under my bare feet
The campfire in the dead of the night
The heavenly black of sky and sea
It was us
Roaming the rainy roads
Combing the gilded beaches
Waking up to a new gallery of wonders every morn
Bathing in places no-one's seen before
Shipwrecked on some matt-painted island
Clad in nothing but the surf
Beauty's finest robe
Beyond all mortality we are
Swinging in the breath of nature
In early air of the dawn of life
A sight to silence the heavens
I want to travel where life travels
Following its permanent lead
Where the air tastes like snow music
Where grass smells like fresh-born Eden
I would pass no man, no stranger, no tragedy or rapture
I would bathe in a world of sensation
Love, Goodness, and Simplicity
(While violated and imprisoned by technology)
The thought of my family's graves was the only moment
I used to experience true love
That love remains infinite
As I'll never be the man my father is
How can you "just be yourself"
When you don't know who you are?
Stop saying "I know how you feel"
How could anyone know how another feels?
Who am I to judge a priest, beggar, whore, politician, wrongdoer?
I am, you are, all of them already
Dear child, stop working, go play
Forget every rule
There's no fear in a dream
"Is there a village inside this snowflake?"
A child asked me
"What's the color of our lullaby?"
I've never been so close to truth as then
I touched its silver lining
Death is the winner in any war
Nothing noble in dying for your religion
For your country
For ideology, for faith
For another man, yes
Paper is dead without words
Ink idle without a poem
All the world dead without stories
Without love and disarming beauty
Careless realism costs souls
Ever seen the Lord smile?
All the care for the world made Beautiful a sad man?
Why do we still carry a device of torture around our necks?
Oh, how rotten your pre-apocalypse is
All you bible-black fools living over nightmare ground
I see all those empty cradles and wonder
If man will ever change
I, too, wish to be a decent manboy
But all I am
Is smoke and mirrors
Still given everything, may I be deservin
And there forever remains
That change from G to E minor. "
Thank you. 🖤🧡
Yep, Floorgasms....lol 🤗🤗🤗🤗
HAIL Nightwish
Great reaction...🤗🤗🤗
Ann's song. RIP Ann...we miss you Ma. Great reaction bud.
I really recommend listening to the extended version as well as there is an amazing piece of poetry that will literally stay with you the rest of your life. It´s deep, beautiful and heart breaking all at the same time.
Your reaction to the breakdown is the exact reaction I had to it seeing this video for the first time. Song of Myself is Top 3 when it comes to Nightwish for me and might have the best drum breakdown alongside with Tribal.
Every time, i hear this Song, i think to the Mother of the Nightwish family. R.I.P. Ann 🌹❤ "Is there a Village in a Snowflake".
Definitely one of my top 5 Nightwish songs...... There's just so much about this song that is great I don't even know where to begin and apparently you didn't either lol sometimes the best reaction doesn't have words!!! R.I.P. Anne😇
Dude🔥, 110% the best reaction to this song EVER 🤯🥁😱🤘, now you have my sub bro, you actually GET Nightwish, “triumphant” is more than an adequate description of your reaction. There is nothing better than watching someone being blown away by symphonic metal and this band in particular. I’m jealous in a way cos you got so many more of their songs to hear for the first time. Keep em coming dude, I’m just gonna watch this reaction again 🤣🇬🇧🤘
I really appreciate that, thank you!! You're very kind 🙏
your face at the end said it all!!! Great reaction
Hi Daniel. Loved your reaction. Some people can't stop talking about what they've just heard and some people are just speechless. 😄 This track was inspired by Tuomas Holopainen's favourite poet Walt Whitman and his famous poem of the same name. Tuomas explained: "I wanted to pay homage to him and do the lyrics in a way that he would possibly write. It's a real, open, thorough, personal catharsis - especially the spoken-word part." The spoken part is a six-minute recitation of a poem, which is part of album version of this song. It's hard, it’s edgy, but it’s also beautiful. Here's where you can listen to the poem ruclips.net/video/RzxRHF50sMc/видео.html
The volume was spot on in this reaction!
NW Army here. Welcome and enjoy your ride into this amazing band. Greetings from Greece.
Absolutely my favorite night wish song and performance
Marco's Vocal is excellent!
Yep. Sometimes saying nothing can say the most, eh?!! That ending where Floor finishes singing on that high note then silence, then the blast of final music; I kinda laughed a little at your jump, only because I was jumping too, which I tend to do every time I listen to this one even though I know it well. It will still catch me!! Lol
I know dude, I know. The first time I heard this song I kept screaming at the screen, WTF!!!! WTF!!!! But this is just the beginning. It gets better. Maybe it's time to take a little trip down GHOST RIVER!! Same concert.
"This is my favorite song so far..." So far is key words, but yes this is easily top 5 nightwish, which puts it in top 10 song of all time.
Her voice is just flawless!
Loved the reaction, the expression of the face and hand and noticing of the bells and stuff, you have my subscription.
Victorious Valkrie Queen!
Audio is Awesome!! Well done. Time to take a little trip down, GHOST RIVER!!!!! Same concert.
Nightwish makes you happy! Regards from México
This is also my favorite song.
Nightwish Army, North America Midwest, children of the corn division, reporting for duty.
Welcome to the Army!
Good evening from Liverpool.... great reaction ... pretty much lost for words at the end, we've all been there !!!!... and, famous last words we have all also said "This is my favourite song, so far".. You will say that probably another 10 times yet... Enjoy ...
It's one of my favorites. Not just Nightwish favorites, but favorites on the whole :-)
Great reaction. One of my favorite Nightwish songs for sure. I think you’re in the rabbit hole now. A great place to be. Time for Romanticide! Enjoy!
I’m enjoying your Nightwish reactions! Welcome to the army😉
Great reaction, this is the music with which the Brave Hearts went into the battle.
Thank you for your reaction! It was great and refreshingly authentic. Peace.
No worries Danial. All Nightwish songs are unique and great on their own. I understand you sense of triumphant celebration. did you like this one? It seemed obvious! Loved it Daniel. Be well.
That was just grand to watch. Thank you! PEACE!!!
This followed Ghost Love Score! Can you imagine watching them back to back!!!
Your reactions to Nightwish are always such a joy to watch! I have one request though - when you do those flickering or flashing edits, you should warn about them in the start of the video or in the description. I don't even have a migraine or epilepsy, but they're sometimes very hard for my eyes.
Than you for reacting
Probably the best nightwish reaction I ve seen
That's very kind of you, thank you!
I love Marco stomping around the stage
Nice to see you again! It's ok...this song is ki da sacred to the Army... great choice and reaction...I'm so happy now!
Thanks 4 reacting! - Nightwish Army
R.I.P Ann Waychoff mother of the Nightwish Army. June 28th, 2020
This is your song.
If you ever have to explain the Groove in Metal to someone - play this tune.
Until the Breakdown hits you with a 10 ton hammer it is all fun and games.
But then the slow chugging monster with the machine gun riffing takes over.
And for every Metal Head this lights up the day.
Awesome….Imho one of the best songs ever.
Sometimes the sky is piano black….
Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries and Stonehenge, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !
I loved your reaction! I have so many favourite songs by NW, but this one is also in my top favourites! I haven't listen to this album when Anette was a singer, so the first time I heard this song was= from Wacken with Floor and OMG. So good, and this heavy groove at the end with her voice... ♥
Love the reaction! You kept us on edge there, almost started thinking you had forgotten about Nightwish ;)
As you progress your Nightwish journey you will discover the variety of music and how there is songs that speak to almost everyone. That's why you get so many different answers if you ask fans what song is their favourite.
Keep on rocking, keep on enjoying!
#WeWereHere
I am loving this react, dude! Well done!
For Ann, R.I.P dear.
you need to react to the whole concert, and then to wembley 2015, tampere 2015 and buenos aires 2018. For some older Nightwish, react to 2001 tampere and 2005 end of an era... we will be there
Such an enjoyable reaction, dude! If this isn't a call to the NW Army, I don't know what is!!!!
I know... I Know..
this guys and Floor leave us with no words.
Please check Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean.. live in Buenos Aires.. Argentina..my country..
hugs fron Mar del Plata Argentina..
love your reactions..
In Nightwish song, the Floor hits you.
(sorry for the riff on the old 'soviet' joke line)
Yeah, this one comes from a heavy place, then gets insane with that giant, heavy-footed 2-step gait that the drums are pounding out.
Usually, Marko can traverse the stage without getting his footstep locked into the cadence of the song, but at 7:20 (your vid) he is unabashedly stomping to the beat as he heads towards Emppu.
Indeed, wel noticed, that strange Marko move👍
As a Russian, I always appreciate those types of jokes haha I actually haven't heard one in a while! I was definitely FLOORED by this one 😁🙏
I really do love your reactions to Nightwish! Keep 'em coming and thank you!!!!
Naaah naa naaahhh, with Nightwish your favorite song always will be the next one :)
So... any chance of a new Nightwish reaction sometime in the near future, pretty please? ^^ After seeing you react to this, I would be tickled pink to see what happens when you experience either Poet and the Pendulum or Yours Is An Empty Hope, in their respective live versions. I know others would, too, the likelihood is HIGH.
Nnnnot that I'm trying to pressure you, man. It's just that your reactions to this band have been such a breath of fresh air in a way. It DOES bring me back to when I first experienced the songs, and you're so relatable and easy to live vicariously through for the duration of the song. Whatever it is you're up to, keep up the good work, and don't be afraid to BE YOU. Ever.
Nightwish is so epic
Great reaction. Was great to see how much you enjoyed that song. I find it really interesting to see what songs end up being favorites for people when it comes to Nighwish. There's so many directions they've gone with their music that there is usually something for everybody.
P.S. bonus points for being speechless at the end 😂
this is my favorite one too ! I'm so glad you enjoyed so much
I just love watching new people fall down the Nightwish Rabbit hole. It makes me so happy. My friend introduced me to nightwish back in 2010 and they have been my favorite band ever since.
Might be stating the obvious here but... looks like you enjoyed the song XD 🤘
Hope there more Nightwish to come soon... because, holy shiet there's more in store for you from these amazing guys! ;)
Yeah I think I kinda liked it 🤪 Thank you Alex! 🙏
Yes, we understand you, you have run out of words ... we know what it's like!
I Love this music!
I liked your reaction. Strongly recommend to take a little break from Gabriels list, and do Devil and the deep dark ocean from Buenos Aires from 2018. I think your love that one. 😀
Best react i ever seen. DO NOT ANALIZE Nightwish. Just enjoy it, and feel it to where ever it took us...
Song #1 on my top 100 try not to head bang playlist.
Same man, same. Great reaction.
You will love Romanticide and Ghost River from this same concert too!
Romanticide was actually the "toss up" I talked about when trying to decide on which song to react to 😁
New sub! Nightwish army Danish division in the house its my fav song her voice and then the heavy riffs and double drums are like heaven to my ears
R.I.P Ann Waychoff long may she reign, wherever she is now. nice recap man. like already mentioned, i really like to hear your thoughts what you see that happening ;)
Subscribed because of this reaction!!
Loooved your reaction man ! Keep it up !!!
THIS IS SO FRICKING AWESOME! Everything Nightwish does is just amazing!
one of the best in my favorite list...enjoyd you watching this epic song. please more and more..Nightwish Army follows..
Looks like you liked this one? 😊
Nicely reacted män.
Keep 'em coming with them.
Cheers from the freeeeeezing Finland 🥶 🇫🇮
Its a joy to see your reaction….. #loveit#
I'm so happy you enjoyed the video 😁
like your reactions. Subscribed to be part of your Nightwish journey 🔥 And don‘t forget to have an eye on Marco, the singing bass player. He‘s also an outstanding singer 🤘
Greetings from germany!
10:05 - 10:26 Well, I totally agree!
Haha!
We have welcomed you to the Nightwish wonderland. Now you know. 🖤🖤
Absolutely 💯 enjoyed your yourreaction to this great song!!!
Magnifico!
Epic Reaction Sir !!!
I just love you! Greetings from Finlad!
LOVE YOU TOO!!
Thanks!
No, victory was a good description. Song Of Myself has always felt like a celebration of a war hard-won, although more an internal war, with mental struggles or pain perhaps, with aching because of not fitting into the world but finally feeling like you've won your place in it.
Love it….. you can’t say much else. It’s Nightwish brother! 🤟
The best thing for you:
You just scratched a tiny bit of
-> Floors range and capabilities
-> Nightwishs range of style
-> Tuomas genie
And the dude haven´t heard the part 4 yet. :) Check out the studio version!
loved your reaction!!! it was just like mine first time I heard this song, absolute banger 💣😃
Omg! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🔥🔥🔥
What is your favorite Nighwish song?...... YES!
I think you liked it?
I'm sure I spotted multiple Floorgasms there.
This is my 2nd favourite and unlike all below numbers on my list, stays in that position.
More Darkness .... ? Swim in GHOST RIVER WACKEN 2013 ! Excelent Reaction
Me missing headbanging at a sLam😫☹️☹️☹️oh god it’s 2022!
I always loved Romanticide and Poet and the Pendulum. I am sure you have had tons of people recommend which ones to watch next but those two are insane. And if you are feeling daring go for Greatest Show on Earth. It is an 20 minute epic journey.
yea....me to dude
Great reaction ❤️👍😜
0:50 Um, well no, we want to hear you and your thoughts. The song is readily available on its own, in both studio and live versions, for fans and newcomers to enjoy sans interruption. OK, I shall talk for myself :), but I revisit DG's channel to hear the man's thoughts and responses, to witness this personal quest through NIGHTWISH land. So by all means do not be shy to express yourself. A little rewind of the song after stops to ensure continuity is quite adequate for all purposes.
Reaction Nightwish with Tarja she was vocalist principal
Ann 🧚♀️💖
Wait until Romanticide and Noise
I'm pretty sure everyone gets a pass on swearing when first watching this one :)
Please react to akatsuki no requiem from linked horizon
😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
