Great backing vocals. I agree. You are right regarding Floor's crowd communication. She is usually so intense. "Dance a jig at the funeral" COME! This may be my favorite version of this song. Cozy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great reaction again. I think too that this is very cozy song. Mayb it's because when I heard this song first time it was the official music-video of the song. and all those old Finnish actors partying and dancing. It was also first time I saw Floor and I was thinking: "Who is this marvellous lady."
The original music video for this song is also very cool. Floor dressed like a 40s diva, all the famous (in Finland) finnish actors acting in the video, and it's black and white. See it for yourself, I'm pretty sure, you'll love it. The live performances of Elan are, of course, superb too and in Buenos Aires is even comes more alive too.
@@nikkireviews hey Nikki, here;s some amazing songs from NW & Floor : Floor Jansen & Henk Poort - Phantom Of The Opera | Beste Zangers 2019 : Nightwish - How's The Heart Acoustic (Planet Rock acoustic session)Live 2020 (one take,no edits,just Floor & Troy) Alone - Heart (cover by Floor Jansen)2020 Floor Jansen sings Shallow for Emma Heesters Beste Zangers 2019 Nightwish - Sahara (Live In Tampa) 2016 After Forever - Dreamflight Live ProgPower USA VIII (2007
Nikki....Elan is my favorite Nightwish song! I have the "Decades" Tour 2 CD set with a DVD of the complete concert! I can listen to this song over and over again without getting tired of it! Mainly because it is such a happy song! .
Aw that's awesome! I've definitely had it in my head since I listened to it yesterday - I don't know how this one slipped my mind. I've been obsessing over Ever Dream but this one is definitely at the top for me right now too!
We have winething in common Nikki - my absolute favourite part of this is Marcos backing harmonies. Just brilliant. Favourite lyric lines? "Returning swans and sedulous mice" and "Building a sandcastle close to the shore A house of cards from a worn-out deck". Only Tuomas could write in Sedulous Mice...
You did hear this at Wembley. But it wasn't at Wacken 2013, it hadn't been written yet. From the Endless Forms Most Beautiful album released 2015. "Here comes a shooting star, we're gonna ride it" Next at this concert is Sacrament of Wilderness. The Warning should win this week, today is Alejandra's 19th birthday.
This is my favorite version, because of the crowd. Also, Floor sings all but the last "come!" In some versions she gives up the mic a bit too much, when I'd rather hear her sing.
Thank you, very nice reaction! Yep, their music is cozy! It's just Nightwish doing Nightwish things! And as you have surely noticed, although they are all outstanding , none of them standout. Nightwish is their own genre and no other band comes close to the level they are at.
great reaction again. i still remember when you did your first 2 reactions to nightwish and you said you will only do 2 songs from the band. then many of us said that you couldnt stop hearing them and you probably didnt believe us🤣 no one can hear Floor's voice and then stop. she is a magical creature🥰 now you have listened so many songs and you will listen many more😁
Oh wow! Well thank you for watching for so long now! 😁 And I have to say, I'm so so glad I didn't stop at 2! I love being on this Nightwish journey with all you guys. 😊
@@nikkireviews i love your reactions. You have positive energy and i love watching them. Take care and have a good night. At least is night here in greece😅
This was actually the first Nightwish single that fans heard Floor Jansen on from the 2015 album 'Endless forms most beautiful'... It came out after the live CD/ DVD 'Storytime, showtime' which featured Floor singing the classic Nightwish songs.
Hi Nikki, greetings from UK It is always a cozy song when we listen to it with you, no matter what the song is 😉 This concert is renowned for the crowd dancing so it was a different vibe than Wembley 🙂
Your almost 100% correct Troy started out with the Low Whistle (Bigger with a deeper sound) and he ended with a Tin Whistle (Smaller in size with a higher pitch)
@@nikkireviews It's not a big detail, but a detail nonetheless 😊I've been a Nightwish fan since the Tarja days, and I think that all of their albums are more or less amazing. Can't remember, have you reacted to Auri, Tuomas' side project, together with his wife, and Troy? If not, you should check it out. The Life And Times of Scrooge McDuck is another Tuomas masterpiece.
I love how Troy switches up the melody in the live performances with that high note toward the end, and hell yeah the backing vocals are awesome, they add so much. I remember people saying this was the only good song on the album, and I will never understand that. It was people whose favorite album is Imaginaerium too, and Endless Forms feels like the logical progression of their sound from that point. I think not only is every song on this album great, I think overall it's their best album, but that's just me.
Ya that's crazy talk! I really like Elan but I like so many from this album. Shudder before the Beautiful, Yours is an Empty Hope and Weak Fantasy are my favs but also Endless Forms most Beautiful, Edema Ruh are nice and of course Greatest Show on Earth is epic!
Nothing against bassist Jukka that came in,but maaaan i hope Marko re-unites with Nightwish one day,he left because of reasons only in his own mind,sadly. This lineup right here is why other bands and theyr supporters felt jealous of Nightwish. Although if i could handpick,you know i would want OG-Jukka in on drums again.
Yeah. 😕 I'm sad he's no longer with them too. I would love to see them live and I feel like 2 people that I really enjoyed in the band from the beginning (Jukka with his energy on the drums) and now Marko wouldn't be at the show. 🤷♀️ But I'd still love to see them if I ever get the chance. As long as there's Floor! 😉
@@nikkireviews Yeah they will always have Floor. Tuomas kind of said it all,that if Floor were ever to depart with Nightwish,the band would just all it a day and find something else to do. Luckily at some songs,there is Troy that provides backing vocals now. Its abit different with the songs where Floor and Marko would push eachother on,there Floor is singing all the parts now. Its defintly better then nothing,but if i ever got the chance to see them live again,those 2 missing would be the ideal addons back into the band. I hope you get your wish one day
@@nikkireviews Therion is the godfather of the genre so try them performing Aldulruna Rediviva ruclips.net/video/hwwLmi5krqM/видео.htmlsi=MclzSJCW7JsTOO02 which is a mini opera or Typhon ruclips.net/video/sns1ZuK185Y/видео.htmlsi=5R5YBdWQBUJTNW3O which is operatic with a harder edge.

Thank you so much 😊🎵
hehe nikki your smile and your taste is so nice.
but......floors smile is better hihihi.but its unfair.she is famous.
😂 Well thank you and I mean, Floor is a hard competition to beat. 🤔 In talent and in beauty! 😊💛
It is always good to hear this song. Your commentary was very good.
Thank you 😊. I really enjoyed this one!
Marco's backing vocals are really great here, the best part of this great song

I feel the same! 🤗

😁 Thanks so much for watching! 💛

Your almost 100% correct Troy started out with the Low Whistle (Bigger with a deeper sound) and he ended with a Tin Whistle (Smaller in size with a higher pitch)
Ahh okay 😂 thanks for explaining!
Both are technically 'Irish' whistles though 😊
Good guess about Wembley since Wacken set list was pre Floor and this song was on floor's first album with them
I didn't even know that until just the other day 😂
The official live is so much fun. Retro Floor.
NW is simply "Beautiful Metal "
Yes!
👏👏
I can understand why you're enjoying the backing vocals so much. Troy and Marco are both great vocalist.
They really are! 🎵
Lovely little tune isn't it. I like how when Marko talks about the shooting star, and then it appears on the screen behind them.
I missed that! I had to go back and watch just now. Very cool :)

I think its Buenos Aires....
Nightwish is great BUT, there are several other symphonic metal bands out there that you haven’t sampled yet.
Do you have any particulars in mind? 🤔
