- This is another from Nightwish and their Wacken 2013 concert, called "Song of Myself". This one is a bit darker sounding, but it still was fantastic.

Thanks for another nice response! This was the favorite song of the late Ann Waychoff, an elderly lady from Pennsylvania. She dedicated the last years of her life to the promotion of the band she loved, welcoming each new reactor with a short history of Nightwish and a few words of encouragement to continue. She often recommends this song for a future reaction. When Ann was hospitalized, her absence was immediately felt, so I consulted with other fans and started posting the welcome message on her behalf.
Ann was, with gentleness and tact, a real bridge between the various groups of fans, often in conflict. I remember that when she left us, one of the fans said that she is definitely at the gates of Heaven, telling the angels about Nightwish :) This explains to a large extent the positive attitude of the fans towards the new reactors, because we all want to share this unique experience with you, and Ann was among the first to make this idea a reality.
As for "the right speed" - it seems that the videos translated by fans at the beginning from BluRay are 4% slower, due to the translation from 25 fps to 24 fps, which is noticeable if you have a trained ear.
Makes sense about the speed. We've seen Ann mentioned numerous times, and it is clear she is much loved. That is a great explanation as to why the fanbase is so kind and welcoming. We appreciate the history lesson, as it's clearly very important to so many.

RIP Ann, may she comfort the Cohorts of NW Fans, where ever her Soul rests.

This was her favourite song.

RIP Ann.
The Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy captures your soul 😇😇😇🥰😍🤩 and makes it better. Combine it with Marko and the rest of her Brothers and you have perfection 🥰.
Floore is not only the best frontwoman for a band ever. She is also super nice. I love that woman. I'm proud of having her living in Sweden with Hannes vanDahl the drummer in The Swedish group Sabaton Thank you. Great reaction.
R.I.P. dear Ann.
We will never forget you.
And thank you Gabriel Bardac for carrying on thr flame that Ann ignited.
To Ann 🕯❤
As for Marko, he has stated that because of Floor's vocal power, he never had to hold back towards his own voice. Both singers are an incredible match in every sense.
Well, Mr.& Mrs. Coach are now a Nightwish Army.
For Ann , we miss you R.I.P.🤘❤️🤘
To Ann ❤🕯
Ann Waychoff - listen Grand General, Grandmother, Mother, Sister...
Your song is played again. Hope You could still leave a comment.

We miss her so much ❤
I discovered Nightwish just when she passed. I think my first listen to Song of Myself was filled with tributes to her………..
RIP Ann ❤❤❤
R.I.P. Dear Ann Waychoff june 28 2020😪 mother of all nightwish fans
R.I.P.
RIP Ann Waychoff. Dark, crunchy, mysterious. Sometimes the within is piano black. And there forever remains the change from G to e minor.
And then she took the last ride of the day.........
This song was inspired by a poem of the same name from Walt Whitman in 1855. Floor performed on a Dutch radio program in The Netherlands and the DJ had heard the fans commentary saying Floor could sing the phone book and sound beautiful. Well, the DJ thought it would be fun to challenge Floor to attempt it. Well, she did. She takes the book and opens it to the A's, chooses Amerongen (a town in The Netherlands) and creates an impromptu melody.
From Mrs. Coach's commentary I think she would live to experience a couple of softer songs sung by Marko. See links. Two more below a little softer from Floor. Both beautiful.

Ref. a set being physically and emotionally draining, at Pinkpop ‘22, Floor performed both her (then) new Paragon album, and with Nightwish later that same day. A beast!
To the memory of Ann Waychoff, and my memory of her.
Even in her final months, she took the time and effort to reach out to me in the comments and welcome me. Peering into the literal deluge of tens of thousands of responders/commenters, she somehow noticed that 'someone new' had made their first comment in a Nightwish reaction video. (as a former hwr/swr engineer, I fully understand how difficult a task this might be in the digital world... so many names, so many reaction threads, and then there is searching down into the responses...and alphabetizing/indexing the results and whether or not she, one person alone, had already reached out. While I never have heard one a newNightwisher having been reached-out-to TWICE, they would be one of the most lucky people in the world. Anne had a way of letting you know she was talking to YOU, not a mass audience. At the time I had no idea who she was or her position in this wonderful amoeba-of-souls, but you could just tell you needed to take a moment to recognize her contact and kind words.
I would imagine that, being a grandmother seven times over, she had opportunity to reign in those of us who get TOOOOooo excited about our new discovery ("Something that's never happened to me", said every fool, ever).
I honestly wish I could go back and find my first-contact with her, just to reflect on how she did -the thing she did- for so many of us. Understanding how to reach out is a gift; one that we could all benefit from in our everyday lives.
It's kind of funny/ironic that Ann's favorite song was titled "Song of Myself".
All she ever did was give of herself.
Her focus was broad, yet it could pick out the smallest new entry into her sphere.
RIP Ann.
To Ann ❤🕯
What a nice tribute to Ann. We've obviously only read of her in the comments, but it's clear her impact was of significance on the fanbase. Thanks for taking time to comment.
Mrs. Coach…you might be surprised to know that Marko actually sings two of the band’s softest, gentlest songs: While Your Lips Are Still Red (live at Wembley), and The Islander (live at Tampere). I think you’d really like both of those. Also, about Floor’s “mystical” quality…I think some of that comes from her just being a very grounded, humble person. She lives close to nature on a farm in Sweden where she has horses, grows vegetables, and lives with her husband, two daughters, their dog and some cats. ☮️❤️
That's very interesting to know. Appreciate the comment.
i hope you are right.
@@CoachCastTV Mrs.Coach if you think floor is amazing thus far you will be blown away when you see her performances from the pivotal Beste Zangers 2019 and her solo covers during the covid shut downs ,be prepared cuz you have only seen/heard a small taste so far :)

@@CoachCastTV I can vouch for that statement - I've met Floor and she is an absolute sweetheart.
While your lips are still red at Wembley might make Mrs Coach's eyes a bit misty.
In 2022 Floor performed her Solo show at the Pinkpop festival in Landgraaf, Netherlands, later that day Floor and Nightwish performed their entire set....Our Queen has the Stamina and voice to just keep going, you can check that out down the road....
I think you should do some their songs which are sung by Marco. E.g. 'Islander' (live at Tampere), 'High Hopes' (live at Espoo), 'Kiss While Your Lips Are Still Red' (live or music video)
THE ISLANDER, TAMPERE 2015 live version is great. It's a seashanty, composed by Marko himself, lyrics by Tuomas. Gives you a new perspective for Marko's vocal tool box, he is quite versatile. (The lady reactor might like this one.) There's at least too uploads of the performance, the one a little longer is better, starting with Marko addressing the audience, it's funny. (I think the cut version is on Nightwish' own channel, shame on you Nightwish. Why on earth would you want to cut the fun part?)
Marko did not think the song was a good fit for his own band, so Tuomas thought it could be a Nightwish song, and wrote the lyrics for it.
HIGH HOPES, End of an Era DVD/concert 2005, is an awesome version and a great tribute to Pink Floyd. Marko on vocals, one of his best ever. All the boys, and only the boys, shine on this one.
WHILE YOUR LIPS ARE STILL RED, Wembley 2015, is ballad, originally written for a Finnish film. (There's also a music video, with clips from the film, but they are not very nice, with jealous violence, although it ends well.) Nightwish put the song on the setlist, when they performed in Paris France in 2015, soon after the Bataclan rock club terrorist attack in Paris. Many bands canceled/postponed their concerts in Paris, but Nightwish did not want to give in to the terrorists.
High Hopes is my favorite Marko!
Thumbs up. I bet Mrs coach would love "Dead boy's poem". Well, we all do. Live with Floor and lyrics if available. Looking forward to that. Well...there are so many masterpieces to come. Some of the songs need a bit preparing to get all out of them. Dead boy's poem as well. Keep it going.
My recommendation is to learn a more about Floor Jansen. Until 2019 she was relatively unknown in her native country, but then took part on a TV-show that grew in popularity each week. The idea was to bring six singers from different music genre's together in one show (and their fans of course) and let them sing important songs from the career of the one that has been highlighted in one particular show. Besides Floor, who represented Metal music, there had been singers of Country music, Rock, Pop and even Opera music. At show #6 the format had already been the most viewed primetime TV-show on Saturday (evening), when it was broadcasted and which was highlighting the career of their youngest participant, Emma Heesters, a self-made RUclipsr , who started her channel as a young girl, covering all the big stars in (pop) music from her home studio and succeded in making a living out of it with 3 and a half million followers at that time. Floor picked a US-chart success, she covered, named "Shallow" and nailed that song in a way that her rendition became No.1 in National download charts the next day. Only surpassed at their final show #7 in the following week, that saw her duetting with the Opera singer in a rendition of "The Phantom of the Opera". As Floor smashed every song regardless its genre, music managers invited her to make tour through the music theaters of her country, basing on the songs she did at that show, because the people wanted to hear more from her. The tour started in January 2020 and was sold out in a rush, yet needed to be postponed due to the worldwide lockdowns, just to be continued in Septembre 2022, when she crowd-funded a live coverage of her last solo-concert at AFAS, Amsterdam that is still available on RUclips.
Nice info to know. Thanks for sharing.
@@CoachCastTV In Spring 2022 she participated in a similar German-TV show "Sing meinen song", that was produced in South Africa. Although I met ppl at the Nightwish tour 2022, who knew Floor from that show only, that TV-format had only been broadcasted on a special interest channel. Unlike the Dutch show, Floor's appearance wasn't noticed by mainstream audience this time. The host invited a bunch of promising thoroughbred singer-songwriter musicians, that in his opinion deserve more attention, so the TV-show should help them in their career. At least I knew none of them but Floor, as I wasn#T in their kind of music. According to the the impression of living and filming together in one mansion in late South African summer, can only be described as pure fun, disguised as work. Floor said, that vibe was incredible, from dawn til dusk there was music in the air. There was always someone playing piano others trying to create new songs and she made lot of new friends. Despite Floor already composed her own songs with her former band-project ReVamp, she again got inspired to make use of her own creativity, which eventually let to her first solo-album and also solo-tour through Germany & neigbors, which contained her songsl from her new album. Unfortunately German broadcasting channels tend to delete their footage on RUclips after a while, making it only available in a long term for paying clients, so you have to look for re-uploads of privateers..
P.S. Despite Floor already sang songs in German, she didn't knew much of it before that show. Three weeks before she departed to South Africa, she began to learn German with her father, who was fluent, as he grew up next to the German border. With Dutch, Swedish and English already in her bag, Floor learned German in record speed and made most of her talking during the show with a lovely Dutch accept in German. Astounding the level of talking, she obtained withing only 6 weeks. Since then she often talked to German audiences in their native language.
@@MacZussie That's really impressive. Learning a new language is not easy, but to do it that quickly is very impressive. Great story, thanks for sharing.
11:55 You should see them after the last song of a concert, when they thank the crowd. You can see the band members catching their breath for over 10 minutes, so after "Last Ride of the Day" for this concert or "The Greatest Show on Earth" for the Wembley or Tampere concerts. They really do give it everything they've got.
RIP Ann Waychoff! You are missed by all of us, the Nightwish Army!
The long version has got an incredible poem at the end. Please enjoy with some tissues😂
Keep walking this magical journey, we are here whit you, cheers and love from NIGHTWISH ARMY COSTA RICA DIVISIÓN 🤘💀🇨🇷
My all-time favorite singer and band. 😄🤘
Floor Jansen singing the Dutch phone book live Hlf8 tv station in Dutch, awesome 😊
Personally, I am in love with Floor Jansen's singing. I feel her best work is bringing a voice to the music of Nightwish. With that said, her solo work is also amazing. I recommend her song MY Paragon as a good place to start. It is about her own life & the 2 girls in the video with her represent herself as a teenager & as a child.
Marko + Floor = MAGIC!
Please do Sleeping sun with Floor. You will like it. Or Kiss while your lips alre still red….or High Hopes with Marko. Or some (all) song from Buenas Aires 2018. I do not know which i prefer. I like all of Tuomas.
R.I.P. Ann, this song will always be yours. 💔
Once again Misses Coach it talking about the essence❤ Thank you for going the long beautiful road. No matter what you're going to do next please don't miss the big two

This concert is of Floors still youthful voice. Shes 32 here. Now at 43 shes got a fabulous mature voice. Its fantastic.
And you'll get to here her own Nightwish songs.
All Nightwish shows are perfect in their own way but this one is magical, mystical and mythical. All conditions for a perfect show were there: Floor’s voice was in top condition, she had eaten well but not too much, smoked her favorite Dutch cigars and had some whiskey (Scottish, not bourbon) and she was pumped because there would be plus 80000 people in the audience (Floor performs best under pressure). For the other members is was just an evening as usual: guitar player Emppu had his booze turtle (google that) the evening before, keyboardist Tuomas (aka Metal Mozart) drinking wine during the show😅
Ann started the crusade, Gabriel carries it onwards, and so many of us (and I'm looking at you Coach and Mrs Coach) flock to its banner - that music can draw people in from all corners of the globe ( and yes I know that a globe doesn't have corners) to share and appreciate Nightwish together is nothing short of inspiring - a Finnish band with a British pipe/whistle/stringed instrument player and a Dutch singer singing in English to a predominantly German crowd - and a lot of them know the lyrics - and everything is OK. This is how the world should be.
Nicely said. We'll do what we can to share this with the world.
@@CoachCastTV And you will have plenty of people with you along your journey....
Tuomas does not do songs. He creates magical and complex compositions. 💥💥💥
I envy her daughters having her to sing lullaby s to them. Could you even imagine.
Very true!
One of my top Nightwish favorites 🤘I just love that Jukka's drumming and his style 🥁😎
Okay Ann here we go again enyo I am sure you will 🤩🧚♀️🧚♀️
I was late discovering this group, but I am so glad I did. Their artistry constantly amazes me. Floor is, of course, magnificent, and so is every other member of this band. Marko and Floor together sound amazing, though, as you delve deeper, I think you will discover that Marko has a unique ability to harmonize with whoever he is singing with, even away from Nightwish. And, when he sings lead, or in his solo work away from Nightwish, you will discover that Marko has so many colors in his voice that I don't think we will ever come to the end of them. To me, no matter what, his voice is grounded and surprisingly comforting. I am so glad that you are continuing your Nightwish journey and I will be looking forward to your next reaction.
To me, Nightwish has mastered the art of contrast in sound. Marko and Floor are beauty and the beast, Sweet and sour. The music blends besutiful melody and vicious rhythm.
Another Finnish band I think you might like is Poets of the Fall, they're a prog rock band from Helsinki. The lead singer Marko has an amazing voice.
Totally agree 110% Marko has an amazing voice. Carnival Of Rust is a good starting point 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
🇬🇧 Norfolk strapped in for the journey 😊 think this is the one that really start the road to discovery for me and I have never looked back
You want to hear Marko.....really hear him? Nightwish, 2005 End of an ERA concert, HIGH HOPES. It shows another layer of his vocals.
I like your facial expressions every time the music takes another turn.
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 !
RIP, Ann. A belated welcome to Coach and Mrs. Coach to the Nightwish Army. I have really enjoyed your reactions to other performers and am really glad you found Nightwish!
Thank you. We're truly appreciative of you spending time with us.
This is my favourite song from NW. I have no idea why, coz lot of NW songs have emotion, great storyline etc. But this just has something...
I like that you are focusing on this Wacken concert to continue your dive into Nightwish. Enjoying ride with you.
Floor has her own RUclips channel and she has alot of cover plus she has done her own concerts with her new album. I know you would love everything she has done❤❤
Floor Jansen and Sebastian Bach are two of the singers that always draw me in. Floor’s empathy transfers to me he listener like now one else.
I constantly am grateful that Floor said yes when Nightwish called back in 2012!
Please react to "Shoemaker" live at Hellfest 2022. As you already know, Nightwish never disappoints!
Big Warning fan here actually!
Aguanten Las Warning!
Aguante Nightwish!
Ms. Coach is doing EXACTLY what my wife went through 5 years ago with Nightwish. She became OBSESSED - NOW - when you REALLY want to have fun GHOST - But - like what I did with my wife - listen to "Hunters Moon" or Square Hammer BEFORE you see their stage show LOL REALLY fun pop "edgy ABBA" music with a Fun DARK DARK lyrics.
We saw Nightwish in Chicago last year and Two Ghost rituals (concerts by the Ghost army) twice last year most fun, respectful concerts I have ever been too in my 70 years
Video. Mary On A Cross is a rather tame introduction
That's fantastic. It appears this band gets hooks into you quickly.
“Wacken open air ……. “ and always find myself saying this in my head after this song. Knowing that Last Ride of the Day is coming up
Floor and the phonebook: ruclips.net/user/shortsgmjIHx10g1U
Thanks!
@@CoachCastTV Was gonna say: She DID sing the phonebook and made us happy 🤣📒
Yep, i would love to go to their concert not just to see them but meet the fan base. Loved your reaction! Even their darker stuff brings joy :)😊
Another great song and a reaction. This is one that has really grown on me, I like it more with every listen. And Jukka always great, but just a beast unleashed in this one.
Love your reactions. Together with Romanticide and now this one, you've done two of my favourite three songs from this Wacken concert. Try Ghost River next. Another darker song lyrically, with more great Marko/Floor magic.
We appreciate you watching and the kind comment!
I've listened to Ghost Love Score probably well over a thousand times during the last 20 years from all the singers in all different venues and the studio album, and I still keep finding some amazing new subtlety every time I watch. By the way, here's a link for Floor singing the phonebook. The subtitles come up in Dutch, but it will translate them into English if you go into "Settings." ruclips.net/video/FtPpYbChVHs/видео.html
This song is a tribute to the poem in 52 chapters, One for every week of the year, " Song of myself " by Walt Whitman 1819-1892.(one of the co-founders of US poetry). The 7th line of the song is ""Of mermaids, of Whitman's and the Ride""". The extended official studio version of this song has, at the end, a poem as a tribute to Whitman made by Tuomas, the keyboard player and the mastermind of nightwish. These lines you can also see fast flahing on the ledscreen of the video you just saw.
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. "
Wow, thanks for sharing this. Very deep.
I love this couple! nightwish forever lov it!
We appreciate you!
This song came right after Ghost Love Score, songs 13 and 14 out of a 15 song set. Think of the power put into those two songs, back to back, at the end of a concert!
To me, the sister to this song, is Seven Days to the Wolves from Wembley in 2015.
This is Nightwish’s try not to head bang challenge!🤘🎸 RIP Ann Waychoff❤️
Can't wait until you make your way to Dead Boys Poem (it's on the generals list).
Thanks for my no 2.
You should digress from Gabriel's list and do one of my 3, 4 or joint 4.
3 is 7 Days to the Wolves from Wembley 2015. Starts high energy, increases throughout and is a personal favourite of Floor. Notice that Marco is frequently singing lead which many people miss.
4a is Dead Boy's Poem from Buenos Aires 2018 and is a full exploration of Tuomas' personal theme of the poet and the dead boy, constant references in his lyrics. Indeed it was his most personal song until he wrote my no 1 favourite, The Poet and the Pendulum, which I won't ask you for yet. It needs a deep understanding of the band and research into their history to fully understand it. When you get to it you will be amazed.
4b is Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Aires 2018 too. Kai had replaced Jukka by then. The drumming is unbelievable.
Marco and Floor together are incredible.
This was an unremarkable one in the mouths of Tarja and Tapio. Floor and Marco elevated it right to the top of the list in this performance.
I have undoubtedly missed lots of what I typed in the buymeacoffer link before it refused my payment and lost my message. If you do any of these I will probably put those comments in the video comments.
In the words of BTO, slightly amended, "You ain't heard nothin' yet"
Appreciate your generosity and all this great info and suggestions. We'll keep these in mind for future reactions.
Lovely reaction. I adore this band. 🙂 Floor is an enchantress - she draws you in, enthralls and seduces you. The whole band is incredible .... they make me grin like a maniac one minute, then bring tears to my eyes the next. Keep up the Nightwish reactions, and I for one, as a new subscriber, will enjoy watching this journey of discovery. I think you would enjoy "Shudder Before the Beautiful" and "7 Days to the Wolves" (both live at Wembly, 2015) for MAoko & Floor together. For something more emotive, but vocally stunning, try "Sleeping Sun" (at Masters of Rock) or my personal favourite, "Dead Boys Poem" (live at Beunos Aires). All the very best from the Canberra Regiment, Australian Division, Nightwish Army.
Thanks so much. We appreciate you coming along on the journey.
Really enjoy watching your Nightwish reactions 😊
Everytime I open youtube and see that you have made another one, I get excited. Keep doing what you do and enjoy the journey 😉 I am not sure of the order of the ”Generals list”, but their Magnum Opus to me is ”The greatest show on Earth”. But I think it is an experience to save for later 😁
We appreciate you watching!
This is one of my favorite songs from Nightwish. I have seen them once live and they where fantastic. But they did not play this then 😥
Talking about stamina, this was their 14th song in the set, out of 15 total, and immediately followed "Ghost Love Score." It's my personal favorite of the concert. Enjoyed your reaction! 👍🤘
Thanks so much!
I understand exactly how you feel! But I think you need to understand what these songs are about? They all have a meaning which you could never imagine. Maybe after listening to a Nightwish song you need to research what it actually was about. Many are about nature or the universe etc! Great reaction as usual 🏴
Thanks for answer our request, an for notice any detail and band member!
Lovely reaction again.
Yes, in a Dutch radioshow Floor did sing a part of a phonebook. She was challenged because she once said, she could be able to do this.
Luckilly there were camera's (as on every Dutch radioshow), to capture this special thing.
The show is in Dutch, so I'm afraid you won't understand much of this, but still... Floor singing the phonebook.
ruclips.net/video/jcMJ-gfqd8k/видео.html
After this you will hear Floors first solo single: Fire.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
Thanks so much!
New subscriber here. Yes it is mostly because of Nightwish. I fell in love with this band in the late 90's. I was heart broken when Tarja left the band and didn't listen for a few years. Then I happen to come across a video on RUclips with Floor's picture. Listened to the song and cried. She is a Siren for sure. I saw them live in 2015 in Kansas City. They are unstoppable live. Wish Marko would have stayed. They are perfect together.
Welcome aboard! We're glad to have you with us.
What you feel is something I thought about for a long time. The music is written by the greatest composer of my lifetime, and I'm much older than you two. These are the kindest, most loving people I've ever seen on a stage. Notice how Emppu walks around checking on everybody as they play. In interviews, they are beyond respectful, even to unskilled interviewers. There was one interview where Tuomas was incredibly patient with somebody who was, apparently, trying to get him to say something in particular, yet he remained respectful and thoughtful. Nobody in this band tries to outdo anybody, on or offstage. They support each other as family, and they play what is correct for the composition rather than what will bring them attention.
May I suggest a "side-project" of Tuomas's. AURI. It quiet, calming music featuring Troy (from Nightwish) who I don't think you've seen yet, as well as Tuomas and his wife, Johanna Kurkela (an incredible Finnish vocalist) who is a softer, milder voice. Kai Haito, the current drummer of Nightwish, and the mentor to the previous one, Jukka, also provides percussion. I think you would like it very much. I put it on to relax and go to sleep.
Appreciate the suggestion. It's good to know they are nice people, makes it even easier to be fans.
Floor's low note omg. ❤❤❤
If you want a softer side of Marco’s vocals try The Islander at the Tampere concert or While Your Lips Are Still Red at Wembley
Hello Coach and Mrs. Coach. This was another really fun reaction to this incredible concert (one of many since by the way). Keep these Nightwish live reactions coming.
Thank you! Will do!
Marco + Floor together -> 7 Days to the wolves (Live at Wembley)

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.
Greetings from Finland, home of Nightwish. If you want to hear Marko, the Pink Floyd cover High Hopes on live concert at Espoo, Finland is great. I also recommend listening to Marko's and Tarja's ( the original lead singer ) version of the phantom of the opera. The best of all is The Greatest Show on Earth, on live concert at Tampere, Finland. Takes more than 20 minutes...🇫🇮
Nightwish fan from Australia, I was here for your reactions
Happy to have you!
As has been said before, most singers sing what they can, Floor however sings what she wants.
Floor had her Own solo project if you want too hear it just Google floor😊
Welcome to the Army.
Cant wait to see more reactions from you to Nightwish. There’s SO MUCH MORE to come and I feel like a little child at Christmas eve because I know whats coming. Mrs. Coach will continue drop her jaw and I promise that sticking to Nightwish wont disapoint you. Stick to Gabriels list and the joyride will be FANTASTIC 🙏🎸🕺🇩🇰
Song of Myself is a heavier song but as Mrs. Coach might have experinced by now is that even the heavier songs still feels ok to listen to even though you dont like that kind of genre 💪🎸 Thats what Floor do to you 🎤🎤❤️❤️
There are some video version on Nightwish songs that are slowed down a bit when they were copied from blue ray disk (Wacken 2013 concert songs). You can hear that the speed is not correct in those video versions. Therefore is good to use official versions an versions with correct speed.
Watch nightwish phantom of the opera featuring henk poort live from Holland
Enjoying your reactions to Nightwish so much!!
Glad you like them!
Greetings from Romania. Great reaction.
Thank you 🙌
RIP ANN
To Ann 🕯❤
That was brilliant! I loved it, even though I couldn't make out any lyrics. That didn't matter. The powerful vocals and the wonderful backing instrumentals carried me off....
I think I'll go and look for the lyrics, to find out what it was all about....
🤔
Tuomas has said he doesn't explain too much, each listener can get the most out of it, for themselves.
From G to E minor = Gem 💎
Great video! This is my favorite also. R.I.P. Ann
Thank you very much!
❤ from the Netherlands
How nice that you enjoy my favorite band so much. I'm also very pleased with how you understand Nightwish and how you go into depth. A real pleasure compared to some reactors who understand neither the meaning nor the musical quality. I'm already looking forward to the next NW reaction from you. Kind regards from Switzerland.
We appreciate your kind words. Thanks for being a part of our journey.
great one, thank you
(the link is already posted for Floor/Phonebook.. it was on a dutch radiostation and she had performed her solo song and the moderator did this as a joke.. and we (NW-Army) say YES finaly 🤣
im telling you guys, check out Unleashed by epica live retrospect, you will get goosebumps
I am so happy you are feeling and liking Nightwish as much as you are ❤
I personally don't think this is darker per say, but def. harder/heavier and more impactful (in a aggressively assertive way). Basically: "This is the real me, deal with it or get out!" sort of way
However, I can def. understand why you'd call this darker due to the very heavy riff change
ps. I can't wait to see your reaction to Nightwish's cover of High Hopes (Pink Floyd song), it is with Marko's vocals only (Tarja was doing a dress change), but it is one hell of a masterpiece ❤
We've been pleasantly surprised...didn't expect this, to be honest.
Once again welcome to the Army!!!!!!!!!!!!
Appreciate it!
Hello Mr and Mrs Coach. Nice to see you again. You make feel so good. Beautiful and powerful song. I hope you enjoy that. Let me recommend you my favourite. "The poet and the pendulum" from Wembley. Thank you and greetings from beautiful Greece.
Thank you so much! Take care of yourself, see you next time.
1:49- Marko pacing like a player before the start of a game...
Mrs Coach/Coach...A band IS like any sports team...each member/player has to do exactly what their role/position requires...otherwise the song/play won't/can't work...and...yes...I like using "/"...and "..." to "help" explain/text my thoughts!..
Willing to "sub" when I start seeing some "braids" on "someone's" beard!
Excellent Reaction! 👊
LOL...we appreciate it! And agreed, there are lots of similarities to sports and a band.
It’s worth watching I Want My Tears Back (Live Wacken 2013)
