Only Nightwish can make a song called "The greatest show on earth" that actually lives up to it´s name.
Well, i thought Creep by Radiohead was not bad either...hahaha!
@@robertcraane7910 that song creeps me out :3
I love this performance so much! There's also The Greatest Show from Greatest Showman that's incredible as well 😘
Well, you made a mistake. You mean surpasses the song name?
@@robertcraane7910 definitely not bad, but Hailey Rheinhart does it way better, along with PMJ.
Motherf*cking Nightwish came right from the heart, but in a loving way. Loved it! 😍😍
When I was editing it, I was like “oh no that was so rude” 🙈
@@asenka11 Nope, it was so honest 😁
This is a true masterpiece from the metal Mozart
“My Walden” live at either Wembley or Tampere…Troy sings lead at the very beginning of that song. He also sings lead on the song “Harvest”from their latest album. Now that Marko has left the band, Troy and Floor have been sharing his parts live.
ana you.re not the only one crying hearing and seeing this song .
i do every time and i am 64
You feel like you are in space? Tuomas has succeeded once again. Only one Latin phrase at the beginning "Opus Perfectum". Life was born in the sea. The comet that killed the dinosaurs is what made way for mammals and US. They may be showing more of Troy due to the fact that they are in England, his native country? Check out the version from Tampere. It has a little more production aspect due to being a homecoming show in Finland. make the most of it Anastasia. Life is short and everyday is precious. Life ITSELF in all of its wonderous forms is the Greatest Show on Earth! Unfortunately we may be the best and worst lifeforms because of our capabilities for great things and for or negative affect on the world.
The history of our planet in one song, including the history of music in under a minute, starting with the short period leading up to the asteroid collision which gave us our moon (much better portrayed in the Tampere version, btw) then the late Hadeon bombardment bringing the elements which created life, all of which originated in the heart of stars, the emergence of life in the Archeon, it's later blossoming to give the higher animals, Mankind's emergence and survival against the odds and expansion out of Africa to cover the world, civilisation and the time it gave us to devote to thought and art, the aforementioned race through musical development, and mankind's eventual demise at our own hands, but having left a permanent mark with the final and triumphant chorus of "We Were Here". With references throughout, too. Truly an opus magna! When you watch the Tampere version, be sure to stick with it right through the band's thanks and farewell from the stage, right until the screen goes black, or you'll miss the ending.
If or when we send another probe into deep space outside our own solar system, THIS is the song which most deserves to be on it.
Troy got more time here as it was filmed in the UK, his home turf so he got more shine time than he usually gets. He is a vocalist but with Floor and Marko being such a dynamic duo he was relegated to a backup roll on most of the songs and he sounds better on the real Folk songs where his instruments rally shine. Nice review and always love you reactions and breakdowns, a real pleasure to stop by and be really entertained by someone who appreciates the art and the music in what she reviews.
That's how you treat fans of your band.
One of my favorite parts of the song is towards the end of the song, Nightwish actually plays a small portion of Metallica's song, " Enter Sandman "
I personally like the Tampere version of the song....only because it's an outdoor venue and fireworks are used in spots! It plays a big role during "The Big Bang!"
You did can exceptional job of not crying too much....I have listened to this song dozens of times...and I still get teary eyed at the end!!!
They play a lot more snippets from musical history than just Metallica. Gregorian chanting, Dies Irae, Minuet in G Major, Enter Sandman, some banjo, some dance/techno.
Enter Life, Enter LUCA, Enter Sandman.....
I hope you'll take the time to watch the version from Tampere. It's a better performance and a MUCH larger spectacle.
If you want to see Troy singing in Nightwish, check the song called HARVEST from their latest record Human Nature. He's the main singer of that song.
Great job Anastasia, I really enjoyed you reaction!
We Were Here
Check out How's the Heart, acoustic version or Harvest to hear Troy sing.
While this performance has great audio, I would suggest that you also watch the one from Tampere 2015, on your own time, as it is much more of a spectacle and uses more of Troy's traditional instruments.
I agree, I think the Tampere version is a better performance, or should I say perfect, as this is very good as well
Both good, but I prefer the Wembley version. The song by then had evolved into something even more beautiful (in my opinion). And since this song is about evolution it only seems appropriate to pick this one. 😁
No, I just love Troy's E-Bow guitar parts in the first three minutes of the song. And I prefer the mix, I think Floor sings even better, I prefer the ambiance, I love the contribution of Dawkins and I don't care for fireworks.
Fortunately, we all have our favorite versions to choose from. 😊
@@mariodriessen9740 great to have choices!!
Michael Newman : absolutely! 😊
I actually found the Tampere ending far more moving, I feel Dawkins was a little overawed and speaks a totally different set of closing lyrics which for me aren't as interesting as those in the Tampere version. It was a great idea though and the show if you were there would have been awesome regardless.
Troy is the lead vocalist, for example, in the song "Harvest" from the last album Human :|: Nature
Floor: Enter LUCA
Marco: Enter Ionia
Emppu: Enter Sandman
I saw number of asks to react to the Tampere version. I totally agree. You'll see Nightwish in their country and "The Greatest Show On Earth" on steroids (flames and fireworks on point).
After listening a hundred times, that "we are going to die" section still makes me cry.
Omg. Who cut the onions. I feel so patriotic after this. TFS Anastasia
"Only Floor can do minimal movements on stage and still captivate the entire arena"
Maybe apart from the word only I agree 100 percent.
Thanks for this one Anastasia.
Perhaps it's a good idea to read the comments about the meaning of this song and do a second reaction on this great piece of music. And then do the Tampere version.
And then watch "I want my tears back" in Buenos Aires seeing her jumping all over the stage like a rubber ball ;-)
I only wish she had started with Tampere. That is the one I consider as "THE" performance of this song.
The first thing you are hearing is "nothing" and the bangs are THE big bang
Listen again and go from there, this song makes you humble2
It’s great to see another professional singer provide their insight. This is a difficult song to grasp all the meanings (or it was for me, had to watch it lots!). It always brings a tear when you know the story.
Thanks for sharing, you’re charming and very much enjoy you (and your music)!
Cool you took this version, Anastasia. A mastepiece full of (hidden) symbolism. One of the greatest shows on earth it is.
Just a quick comment. I still want to sing "We were here" this year. Probably with tears but happy.Hopefully the tour will take place.
I really enjoyed your reaction. You are obviously a smart lady to pick up all the parts of the song in a first listening. It was funny you were talking about the fires and the destruction and so on and I thought; “Hold on Stassy, too early, it’s coming. Be patient.” And “the pig in your ear”, try monkey possibly a bonobo or a chimp who are closest to us humans. It was fun to pick your brain and may I say that you looked more beautiful than ever. Stay safe.
Just for now, it is my duty to introduce you to some info about the lyrics.
Lyrics are in " "
[Part 1: Four point Six]
"Archaean horizon, The first sunrise"
Earth's history is divided into four principal Eons: the Hadean, the Archean, Proterozoic, and the Phanerozoic. The Hadean is the Eon during which the Earth and Moon formed; in the Archaean, primordial life appeared. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Earth
"On a pristine gaea"
Gaia is the primordial Greek goddess of the Earth. More recently, the Gaia hypothesis is a recognition of the living and nonliving Earth systems which form an interdependent whole. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia
"Opus perfectum, Somewhere there, us sleeping" Pristine perfection (of silence, of a blank page, of the very point from which the big bang itself sprung) implies a rich creative potential. Here Earth is painted in the same powerful way. Diversity awaits; unborn beings are sleeping the same sleep to which they will return at death. This interpretation is thematically linked with the album's opening track, "Shudder before the Beautiful," which includes the lyrics, "The music of this awe, Deep silence between the notes, Deafens me with endless love." Or as the furious hobbit screamed at the novice trumpeter, "An artist respects the silence, it serves as the foundation of creativity."
[Part 2: Life]
"The cosmic law of gravity Pulled the newborns around a fire, A careless cold infinity in every vast direction. Lonely farer in the Goldilocks zone"
Gravity pulls the Earth around the energizing Sun in an otherwise inhospitable universe. Earth is the only planet in our solar system's circumstellar habitable zone, orbiting at the "just right, not too hot, not too cold" distance from the Sun. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumstellar_habitable_zone
"She has a tale to tell, From the stellar nursery into a carbon feast, Enter LUCA"
In astronomy, stellar nurseries are the birthplaces of stars: they nurse stars Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_formation#Stellar_nurseries
Poetically, our solar system is another "stellar nursery," in which a star is the nurse, caring for and warming a planet of 'newborns,' early carbon-based life. "Feast" evokes the incorporation of plentiful chemical building blocks into rudimentary life forms. "LUCA" stands for "Last universal common ancestor," the one single organism from which all other presently existing life on Earth descended. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_universal_ancestor
"The tapestry of chemistry is a writing in the garden, Leading us to the mother of all"
The periodic table of elements does look like a sort of patchwork tapestry, but this can go further. The historical function of tapestries was as "nomadic murals," pictographical histories which moving people could pack up and revisit wherever they went. The "writing in the garden," in nature, is not only the stone murals left by dead animals in the form of fossils, but is also this chemical writing that encodes the relatively nomadic DNA molecule with the instructions for life. The scientific investigation of this information leads us back to LUCA, and further. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapestry#Function
"We are one, We are a universe,"
This is the natural conclusion to draw from the fact that life shares common origin, that all life is built with the same blocks, and that all life on Earth is interdependent (gaia hypothesis). The multiplicity of beings on Earth are one, just as the cells in a body are one.
"Forebears of what will be Scions of the Devonian sea."
The Devonian geologic time period marked the first significant, rapid diversification of life (and the more well-known Cambrian explosion is another of these 'adaptive radiation' events). It was during the Devonian that the 'higher plants' appeared and blanketed the continents with forests. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devonian
. The word "scion" refers to a shoot of a plant cut for grafting, and is also used to denote a descendent of a notable family. Both meanings apply.
"Aeons pass, Writing the tale of us all. A day-to-day new opening For the greatest show on Earth"
Evolutionary adaptation is written in the DNA and as fossils in the rocks, and is ongoing. Species die, diversifiy and delineate. Every day is different, every day something changes.
"Ion channels welcoming the outside world To the stuff of stars"
Ion channels are found in the membranes of all cells, controlling the flow of energy through the cells. The stuff of stars is all the physical matter we're made of. So it's the ion channels, guiding enery, which allow living bodies to interact with the rest of the world by exchanging energy with it. "Stuff of stars" is surely a Sagan reference: "The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff." For fun: ruclips.net/video/XGK84Poeynk/видео.html
"Bedding the tree of a biological holy, Enter life"
The bed of a tree is the nutrient-rich soil from which it grows, a soil made of dead things. The "tree of a biological holy" is probably the tree of life en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_life_(biology)
. This line refers to the "holy" legendary tree of everlasting life but also means the conceptual, branching family tree of all life, whose bed consists of all deceased beings (in a more literal sense), or all extinct ancestral species (in a more abstract sense). This is thematically linked with the song "Alpenglow."
"We are here to care for the garden, The wonder of birth Of every form most beautiful"
"We" could be human beings tasked with acting as nature's stewards, garden of eden style, but that's not chronological -- human beings haven't quite appeared in the song yet. "We" could instead be all of life itself, in a gaia-philosophy sense, which posits that life creates environments ever more hospitable to more life. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_philosophy
Or maybe it's a combination of these two thoughts: life eventually creates an environment suitable for the development of consiously acting, thinking human stewards.
[Part 3: The Toolmaker]
"After a billion years, The show is still here. Not a single one of your fathers died young."
Every single one of a given person's ancestors, male and female, lived past puberty at least. But "fathers" evokes "forefathers," which has a nicer storytelling ring to it than "parents."
"The handy travelers Out of Africa Little Lucy of the Afar"
Handymen are good with tools; travelers posessing hands rather than forefeet walk upright. Hominids originated in Africa and spread to the rest of the world from there. Lucy is a particular specimen of the Australopithecus, one of many "missing links" between modern humans and nonhuman ancestors.
Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_(Australopithecus)
"Gave birth to fantasy, To idolatry, To self-destructive weaponry. Enter the God of gaps Deep within the past. Atavistic dread of the hunted!"
The brain grows, consciousness and creativity along with it. Atavism is the tendency to revert to ancestral type, an evolutionary throwback. Fight-or-flight instincts that helped human ancestors survive have now been creatively projected onto the world to both explain it (origins, meaning, suffering) and gain security in it (bargaining through sacrifice). These are the roots of theism.
Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atavism
"Enter Ionia, the cradle of thought, The architecture of understanding. The human lust to feel so exceptional, To rule the Earth"
Nomadic people develop agriculture and settle down into civilizations. The word "architecture" is at once both literal and figurative. The efficiency of civilization graces people with free time to do more than just feed themselves. They develop rich cultural traditions, arts and philosophies, much of which are deeply influenced by how different humans now are from all the rest of life.
"Hunger for shiny rocks, For giant mushroom clouds, The will to do as you'd be done by."
Shiny rocks are wealth: gold, precious stones, jewels, and later uranium which leads to the nuclear arms race. The golden rule -- "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" -- is a coin with a dark side: "an eye for an eye," revenge. This ensures the "MAD"ness of mutually assured destruction. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_assured_destruction
"Enter history, the grand finale. Enter ratkind."
"Ratkind" comes from Richard Dawkins' book "The Ancestor's Tale." Dawkins imagines a post-apocalyptic world in which rodents feast on the remnants of humanity (and humanity's garbage). The rat population explodes, and then as they exhaust these resources they turn on one another for food. As a consequence of natural selection, the rats diverge into new carnivorous and herbivorous species, and perhaps, eventually, a specices of rodent whose intelligence rivals that of humans. This is "ratkind." Https://iberianature.com/wildworld/tag/ratkind/
"Man, he took his time in the sun, Had a dream to understand A single grain of sand."
From William Blake: "To see a World in a Grain of Sand, And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour." ...And the story of the planet in 24 minutes. Not bad.
"He gave birth to poetry, But one day'll cease to be. Greet the last light of the library"
A bittersweet redundancy: poetry with library, the last light with ceasing to be. Reminiscent of Elan: "Be the first to greet the morn [...] Travel with great élan, dance a jig at the funeral."
"We were here!"
Who else is going to vote for this song's inclusion on the next Voyager golden record, if there'll ever be one?
I want to beam this song into space forever.
Troy has a deeper voice that isn't particularly suited to belting so he tends to use it more for fills and backing. It has a rich earthy tone which suits the folkier songs, in the new album you will hear him solo on both Harvest and with Floor in Shoemaker.
And ofcourse in How's the hearth, especially in the live version :)
That one being just him, Floor and guitar, and still an excellent presentation of their strenght...
Troy was a great addition to Nightwish. Beside his voice, I mostly like him playing at start of the song '7 days to the wolves'. Check Wembley '15 version and 'Evening with Nightwish' which was the digital concert recently!
Michael Newman For me I don't like that song How's the heart. It feels like Tuomas put Floor's voice in a cage. She has to sing so many words so fast. There is nor room left for HER. For her voice to shine in her own way. And Troy's sparce backing vocals in that song are just pathetic in my opinion. He adds nothing and is far away from what Floor is singing. I actually fnd his backing vocals annoying. He is not supporting her at all. In my humble opinion Troy should never have been made member of this band. He should have remained a guest musician. I also think that it took away from the announcement that Floor became their lead singer. Floor deserved the spotlight 100% not share it with Troy. In short I don't like Troy as member of this band, he adds great pipes and flute for some specific songs but nothing more. And he is a (very) poor vocalist. In The greatest Show you can't even hear him even though he is singing along for some reason. But hey I am a minority I guess.
@@SYNtemp You name Troy first... Troy has almost no vocals in that song. And he is simply terrible. He is not supporting Floor vocally at all. He is way off with his few vocals. I don't think he adds anything. I actually find his vocals in that song annoying. He plays great acoustic finger picking guitar though. For me he should have never been made a band member. He should have stayed guest/ session musician for Nightwish.
@@fixxa6455 I disagree. I don't like Troy as band member at all. His backing vocals are pathetic in my opinion. I am happy that often you can't even hear him even though he is singing.
So that's how you show Anastasia that you love Nightwish.
With a thick tear.
Love you keep it up.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
Summer winter spring and fall.Every day wenn the sun rise you see the greatest show on earth.
A great song to hear Troy play and sing is on "7 days to the wolves". He has made an amazing contribution to Nightwish.
Great Nightwish reaction again Anastasia... and those teary eyes crowned it all, kiitos.
😊🇫🇮❤️🎶✨🤘
Such a deep reaction, thank you Anastasia. Nightwish is so phenomenal
Anastasia, after you check out some of the backstory, I recommend that you watch this song performed at Tampere Finland, it actually improves the experience. This Wembley version is very good, but Tampere is just epic. Just a thought. I always enjoy your reactions. Thank you.
Jep....
It is so hard to choose! Wembley has Dawkins on stage and huge crowd going quiet and listening to him, that is so unique... and Wembley has fireworks being part of the music, that is rad and unique as well. Someone should make ultimate cut the best of both :p
Every f**ing time I listen to this song I cry haha
The way you show how jou enjoy and appreciate Nightwish gives an extra dimension for me listening to this band. You are a beautiful person and a asset bŷ giving your thoughts about music. Thank you
I love your reactions. It hits me in the feels ...tears
You got almost everything right in first try, pretty amazing. Smart one :*
I thought it was great within a couple of minutes you pretty much understood the concept of “The gr8est Show on Earth” through the music with only one visual. Music does speak to us if we will listen, then of course Floor & the guys stepped in with the details! You spoke highly of everyone except Tuomas, which you may not know that this is his masterpiece, & went to Dawkins with it. I heard some video out there about Dawkins speaking about joining with Nightwish to do this.
Troy is a great addition to the band and does help bring Tuomas ideas to life. Still, wherever he takes the melody or prominent parts, it doesn't leave much room for Emppu. I am a bit sad about what his role has turned into now, he is barely more than a rhythm guitar player, just adding a general edge to the sound. It wasn't always like that, i remember songs where Emppu was really prominent, like 'Crownless', 'Kinslayer', 'Wayfarer', 'Walking in the air' or 'Wanderlust' ... or 'Wishmaster', i just realize how many songs they have that start with a W. Anyway, i miss more Emppu based songs, he is a really great guitar player.
Oh, you might have realized they have a new drummer. I loved Jukka, who had to leave because of health issues, but their new one, Kai Hahto is a freking beast. If you want to see what that dude is capable of, check out his other band "Wintersun - Sons of winter and stars".
The greatest show on earth is just the universe as is, including the earth and us both good and bad and what has been achieved.
you can.t imagine but the one in tampere is even better
Thank you Anastasia for sharing the experience with us. Always an equally impressive song performed anywhere. Like a little movie and a story about the birth of humanity.
as cool as it is that Troy can play his guitar that way, the Tampere version with the low whistle is just better, in my humble, worthless opinion. no knock to you, Ms Lady, for picking this performance. other than the intro, and the loss of the fireworks at the outdoor stadium, this is another epic performance from them. and another great reaction,.
I agree I much prefer the whistle but hey it is still a great song regardless :D
I think the guitar sound in this at the start sounds so much better
@@SunOfTheSun I swap between the two I just wish he had of switched back to the whistle for that little bit and then it would have been perfect for me as I love the sound of the whistle and then the pipes whereas the ebow is just being the string section which sounded fine in recorded version anyway evn though I like the :live: sound of the ebow.
@@mnewm21 either way this band is absolutely incredible
What a masterpiece. Anastasia, you did so so well and then it got you at the end. I was surprised because you had done so well and then the emotions came through. Not to worry I was there with you. Every time i hear it. thankyou for the reactions take care and stay safe.
Can’t Help Falling in Love - Диана Анкудинова !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The official video performance with Dawkins and the fireworks is the best, by far. Also why does everyone misunderstand the crashing sounds in the beginning? It is clearly the LHB. Nightwish also made a mistake, by having LUCA appear before life, since LUCA was alive.
Love your reaction !!
Oh my I love your voice
Before seeing the reaction, this going to be epic......
I knew it, you and me both! Ha ha!
Greatest show on earth ... ended ! Nightwish forever!
Thank you Anastasia for this Reaction. Every second you show your Love to Nightwish and i become Tears in my Eyes, thank you for this.
Floor did sing two words in latin in the intro when universe was forming. Later few other words too ...otherwise english. Masterpiece song and epic opus by Tuomas co-written by Marco. Yes...Troy sings so well too and in some songs as lead vocalist plus Auri material. Marco was the greatest...though sad not anymore there. Do Tampere live---the most grand one.
Troy is the main featured vocalist on 'Harvest' off Nightwish's latest album.
We Were Here
The Nightwish Army
22:35 Why this part ALWAYS brings me to tears ?
I came for the NightWish reaction. I subscribed to watch YOUR songs. You have a great voice that reminds me of the lead of Epica.
I love female metal vocalists. I feel the tone rounds out the hard metal sound nicely and you have a WONDERFUL voice. I look forward to my new journey.
Thank you so so much!!!
One other song that no one's mentioned yet, with Troy and Floor on vocals, is The Carpenter, from the Buenos Aires 2018 Decades show.
The song was Nightwish's very first single off their first album Angels Fall First, and was actually the song that pretty much earned them their record contract with Spinefarm back in the 90s. In its original album arrangement, The Carpenter featured Tuomas and Tarja on vocals. Yes, you read that right, Tuomas did some singing on the first album!
I usually suggest a double reaction to this one, the official music video so you can hear how it originally sounded, then the live with Floor and Troy.
The Carpenter video 1998(I think?): ruclips.net/video/Z4A5HwMOfW8/видео.html
The Carpenter live 2018: ruclips.net/video/Di197sOG21c/видео.html
I’m sad that I’ll never hear the wonderful resonance of Floor and Marco again. For me they are the greatest sounding duet ever 😢. On a lighter note, Troy is incredible, I think there’s no musical instrument that he can not play , he’s a genius !! Have you listened to Nighwish ‘human nature’ album ? . Common sense to me says, start at the start, go though the album. It’s a story 😊
And we are exceptional, and amazing, as a whole, also so terrible, we have many examples, of all nations for both cases, we are also shits, as a whole. But still awesome, on every sense of the word. Night wish shows that, the best of us from talent and capability, music, showmanship.
I feel like the greatest show on earth is any time we watch a sunset, we see a shooting star, catch a sunrise, seeing a garden spring to life after winter.
And how we are all connected
Every thing you said was correct. Welcome aboard the Nightwish express our Valkyrie queen is the conductor! Time will stand still🌹
Harvest from the new album features Troy prominently .. it's one you have to listen to a few times to really appreciate, atleast in my case
I love Harvest...
You beautiful human being you! Anyone that gets the nightwish metaphor on the first listen gives me hope!
So great reaction again Anastasia 😍
if you want to hear troy singing then try nightwish acoustic how is the heart although he is the backup of floor
Same in Shoemaker, at the lower part
the greatest song on earth
The Tampere concert video for this song is much better mainly because it's outdoors and they included a fireworks display synced to the song. And take a look at the lyrics. Floor wasn't singing in latin but there is a latin phrase "Opus perfectum" ( perfect works) in that part of the song.
Wah. The genetic lottery killed me, and I agree 100%. I am proud to be alive, and I hope I can give you my best.
Nice to see you back on Nightwish, :) this is one of the big ones, and they do it good again!
The narrator is professor Richard Dawkins, renowned evolutionary biologists and prominent atheist. The Greatest Show On Earth is the title of one of his best sekking books and reffers to the process of evolution and how it shaped us as a spieces and life on this planet. No other band can pull this off. The breadth and depth of the message here and the required amount of talent and perfect excution is staggering.
What an absolute treat of a reaction to this one. Thank you.
Это было искренне и прочувствовано, спасибо Настя! 🌹😊
Once again, I am late to the party, Anastasia. What a wonderful reaction to this powerhouse of a song. Since I am a drummer, I want to give some love to Kai. The rhythms and patterns that he weaved throughout this song were fantastic. He is not flashy, but he is a megastar on the drums. Love you and your reactions, and can you please do Nightfall live by Blind Guardian. I want to hear your take on Hansi's voice and I think you will have fun with the multiple guitar solos. xxx from a fan in Illinois.
you gotta see the one with the fireworks.... epic!
excellent reaction as always, love watching your reactions, you say what you feel as reactors should, keep them coming
I really love the song My Walden. Its such a Troy song even if Floor is the lead singer in it
That's the first time I realized the disco beats after the Enter Sandman riff at 21:39. Interesting indeed!
The evolution of music
Troy sings lead on Harvest on the latest album, Human II Nature, he also does a lot of harmony vocals. A great track to react to is the acoustic version (Planet Rock) of How's The Heart: his backing vocals are great and Floor is incredible (as usual).
It's a celebration of whatever we have. The first time I heard this it was like a religious experience in the lack of a better way to put it.
Troy did have singing parts in songs you've heard as well, he's just been slightly better hidden on the background. He got much more prominent roles in the 2020 Human :||: Nature album, Harvest being the one where he's the lead singer but his voice is much more audible in general through the album. This was further reinforced with the departing of Marco, as his vocal parts got split between Floor and Troy.
You want to hear Troy sing? "my walden" from the live concert in Tampere would be nice for that :)
Just for a contrast in performances, check out the Tampere show from this same tour. Troy is featured earlier in the song, plus there is an added punctuation early that's not done in this show.
🇬🇧 Norfolk division reporting for duty let’s do this 💕
The Devonian sea is reference to the Devonian period or the age of fishes. The song is about the very beginnings of all life on earth
Such a cool reaction Anastasia. luv u girl..
You have to react to The Greatest Show on Earth live song at Tempere Finland. It’s so epic with actual fireworks 💥
Troy leads on Harvest from Human II Nature. He also leads into My Walden in this concert singing in Welsh. Historically he has contributed most to the more folky vocals of Nightwish but since Marko left he has had to fill in for quite a lot of Marko’s support vocals. Where it requires more power however they have switched Marko’s vocals to Floor.
Great reaction , if you watch it again watch the Tampere version
Anastasia. . . . . . . . .The actual chances of being born are 400 trillion to one against. We are all more than fortunate.
This planet and everything in it is indeed the Greatest Show on Earth, you have here the genius of Tuomas giving us a musical and lyrical journey through the evolution of this planet that we live on from the Big Bang and beyond.
Dawkins I warm to, for me he always makes complete sense.
Wembley, the pinnacle for the band, especially Troy and Marko who, if you watch the whole concert, refer to as a long term dream. Tuomas too has said a long held and almost unreachable goal was to play Wembley and here you see at the end of this master work he is staggering backwards, hands on head in near disbelief as it has happened.
Good stuff, now you have some excellent interpretation in your comments, listen again and get the full meaning, you did very well.
Oh just wanted to say, you look completely amazing in this video. I mean seriously!!!
magic.......
Troy is the main vocalist on the song Harvest from their new Human Nature album.
You should watch the Tampere one, its a whole vibe and the fireworks.
My friend Kati was at the Tampere one and she said it rained during Children of Bodom and Sonata Arctica but stopped just before the Nightwish set.
Next the Tampere version. Love the reaction thanxx.... From Floorland..
Respect, troy is signing on his rock, like me drinking a beer at a fire camp it's awesome.
While missing most of the points "knowledgeable" reviewers typically point out (from Bach to Metallica, the details of evolution, etc.), again you demonstrated that a naive listener with a good ear for "performance" can get the gist out of this piece. A tribute to Nightwish (that they could convey it) and to you for being a good listener. Cheers!
This song means a lot to Troy. It was he who introduced Dawkins's work to Tuomas and helped him write it. And he wrote the letter to Dawkins for permission to quote from his book - and of course persuaded him to perform personally at the end.
Carpenter is really cool song with Floor and Troy singing.
More like Tarja and Tuomas. At least if you mean the song from 1997.
Wow you noticed Troy was doing the ptimal sounds! No one ever mentions that. Troy has a song on the Human II Nature album called Harvest.
