The beginning was a boy soprano named Guy Elliott
Yeah, you beat me to it, lol. And one-upped me with a name, I wasn't sure who he was.
But yeah, pre-pubescent boys have a very unique vocal range that is hard for adults (men or women) to operate within. Not impossible, but very difficult. This has evolved into it's own singing style, and is why there are so many boy's choirs. More than a few metal vocalists got their start in choirs that were focused on a very similar style.
Boy soprano 😊
@@iina6106 Thanks. It was late. I fixed it!😁
If you want to experience Nightwish at its best, then I definitely recommend 'The Greatest Show On Earth'. This song is 22 minutes long and is the absolute masterpiece of Nightwish. I would like to recommend the live video of Tampere from 2015 with subtitles.
#iconcur
I concur 😊
I concur
View the live version at Tampere with sub-titles. You'll love it !
I will Agree NWA MD
Apart from a few exceptions, Tuomas is the sole composition and lyrical genius behind Nightwish songs. This one is especially personal to him given he literally names himself as the poet reference in the title.
Tuomas uses a lot of different references to himself. He uses "the Dead Boy", "the Poet", or "The Beast" in reference to himself The Dead Boy was used in - obviously - Dead Boy's Poem, and Romanticide; The Poet here, obviously, and the Beast in the Beauty of the Beast.
@@athlonen Yeah, he really, really likes to write about himself.
not only that, but he "dies" after 3 minutes when the boy says "and counting". this is absolutelty genius
He used a lot of references of him being suicidal, depressed and more in countless double/triple on tundra in a lot of texts throughout the decades...oh and yes, he didn't only write songs, since he's a poet.
Poetry nowadays is a dead art: it's used mostly to fuel other arts, like music, comedy, cinema, etc. But once, it was its own art...some are still clinging to this practice. Tuomas did for a while, before even playing publicly the keyboard. (and mixing xD)
To me, this is Tuomas' masterpiece as well as his most personal composition. It rescued him from the darkness through the catharsis of a metaphorical suicide.
Also, never apologize for showing your emotions, it shows you are human! Well done, I always love your reactions.
Tuomas the chap on the keyboard does almost all of the music and lyrics
Exactly, he's a freaking genius add Floor to the mix and well we instantly her servants. Goddess Floor ever giving us pain, joy, sadness, love giving our emotions a voice.
Туомас Холопайнен великий человек, уникальный человек, гений, творец и живое божество.
as someone who's been fan of Nightwish for two decades now, It is always such a pleasure to seeing people discovering this incredible band.
If loving Floor is wrong, I don't want to be right!
amen! lol
🤘😊🇫🇮💙🪄🎼✨💯👍
Piece of Masters 💙🇫🇮
Edit. Please lift that show screen of the corner....
No matter how many times I hear this song.. I always end up crying. ..
the opening vocals was from a boy soprano, Tuomas (keys) is the main song writer/composer 90%, he's the one who started the band it's his creation
The young boy soprano was Guy Elliott.
@@amygoodson-catlady is he dead ?
@@johnsmith-cw3wo No, was as in past tense and even longer ago since it is a recording.
@@johnsmith-cw3wo- no I suppose not. But as a soprano he is dead in a way. They don't keep that voice for long. Or some very drastic measures must be taken. And thankfully "we" don't do that. Anymore at least, in the (far) past "we" did unfortunately. Look up "Alessandro Moreschi" if you are interested.
@@armandsimonis7992 I saw a clip with Guy Elliott, sure it don't have that soprano voice, but is a good tenor today.
This is a true story. Tuomas nearly walked in to the ocean and ended it. Thankfully he decided to write this song instead.
Congrats on 100k little sister! 🤗 Love ya!
Indeed it is terrifyingly potent to any that have been there
Storytime or The greatest show on earth.
This is my top fav nightwish song ever.
The last part will always give you tears. No matter how many times you listen to this song, tears will always come up.
"Be still my son, you're home. In the end I will always love you"
Same here… always Wet eyes 😢🙏❤️🎤🎼
I hate to be so BLUNT. But i love a gummie and watching some of your reactions. I am a recovering cancer patient and my wife demanded me do a gummie instead of smoking obviously. But i love your insight in metal as most of your generation wrote us metaheads as idiots. Nightwish is a favorite. I am a classically trained musician so i am always loving the reactions to our music to those who originally knew nothing about infusion of classical IN metal. I don't mean that as an insult. It's not. I compliment you on your insight. I enjoy your channel. Keep it up!!! 🍻🍻🍻🤟🤟🤟
Great reaction, thanks. greetings from Colombia
Hola hermano! Como estas!? hope all is well!
The boy in the intro is Guy Elliott. A boy soprano, now an adult tenor.
Guy originally also sang Part III (The Pacific.) When Floor stepped in, she told Tuomas she could sing both part I (White Lands Of Empathica) and Part III (The Pacific) herself, so they could drop the backing track of Guy. Tuomas was happy for Floor to sing Part III, but insisted Part I would be sung by the boy soprano, because of the symbolism of childhood innocence that is important to Tuomas.
"Beautiful" is all I can say for this song
Tuomas has said. The way it works in NIGHTWISH is that I am very much a solo worker. So I try to make all the songs - even the arrangements - as ready as possible, as much as I feel that I have to give to the songs. Most of the riffs, even some drum fills and stuff like this. I just try to make it as good as I can do it by myself. And then I introduce the songs and demos that I've done on my own to the other members of the band, and then we start the rearranging process. You know, 'Could you come up with a better riff for this one?' 'Would the bass line be different in that one?' 'What about if the vocal line is like this?' And sometimes the songs change a lot
Check out Floor Jansen sings the Phone book.
The greatest show on earth live at Tampere will make you think. We are all damn lucky to be here. I'll leave it at that.
WOW this is a VERY Massive song! Much love NWA Maryland Division!
Thanks !
IMO, the only thing above this masterpiece is "The Greatest Show on Earth" at Tampere.
If I was wanting to introduce someone to Nightwish, I would go with "Storytime" at Wacken 2013. It's Nightwishy, but very accessible, with a broad appeal. And, of course, it's an incredible performance. I would save the more epic stuff for later.
Considering that TGSOE is above all others of recent music history, my long lifetime being my yardstick, I completely agree. This is truly a masterpiece. And as far as listening, this should be prepared for, because of it's depth and underlying storyline. One does not just roll this out to introduce somebody to Nightwish.
The best introduction is Ghost Love Score 2013. Storytime is an acquired taste.
@@lazyhominid I completely agree. Ghost Love Score shows off Floor in her multi-talented best. It displays her versatility and charisma as front-woman and crescendos with "the note!" It is an epic production and composition that also showcases Tuomas Holopainen as the musical genius of our generation. Even people with a pop leaning, which is why Storytime is suggested, can see the brilliance of Ghost Love Score, and it doesn't hurt that every single reactor holds their arm up to display their goosebumps. "Greatest Show" and "Poet & Pendulum" are magnum opus's, but you need to grow into them. The American Music Industry has not prepared their audience for such genius, as they have absolutely nobody capable of creating that level of sophistication. "Ghost Love Score" stretches an American listener, but not to the point of breaking.
Of those who came home from the wars the world fights who managed to get out alive, most left something behind and will never be the same. Our humanity is missing pieces which we fill with anger, regret, alcohol/drugs none of which helps. Floor gives me back those pieces if only for awhile. Thank you Veterans on this day world wide, you served when others ran away and refused. We pay that price everyday for our service and most would do it again if our nation called on us. That is what makes you all incredible individuals. So many died without notice by those they died for.
YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN, NOT IN MY HEART.
@marcusanton95 Why do you denigrate those who run away or refuse to die for a country that is not worth it? Everyone should refuse to kill. Your soldiers do not fight, kill or die defending America. Your government is screwing you over and sending you where you have no business being. The world's largest superpower, the USA, is hardly at risk. And how the U.S treat their own population, you should know best. But on this eye you are blind and don't want to hear anything bout it. Congrats. Such ego-patreotism just pisses me off. . Btw, you know that this has absolutely nothing to do with Nightwish, Mister Pride
Mama Floor
I just had good friend pass away recently of pancreatic cancer, and when we had a friend went and seen him in the hospital, played this song on the way home, and that middle and end part literally broke us. We were in tears it’s just so beautiful.
Looked like you got yourself a jump scare when the final act kicked in! 😄 Having battled depression myself, this song hits close to home. Somehow I feel that it captures the inner turmoil of a person going through such a state. Unfortunately, that also makes it hard for me at times to listen to this song, even though I consider it one of my all-time favourites.
Thanks for another great reaction!
Nightwish is simply one of the best symphonic metal bands with the most spectacular voice ever heard, Floor Jansen is unique, she can sing ballads, metal, opera, her voice is multifaceted, honestly the best voice I have ever heard, they are spectacular and Marko is another with a great level of singing, the best voice duo, there is no better than them.
I feel someone in Hollywood could write a movie around this song alone!
69th like. Yesss. lol this song makes me cry every time... than find myself headbanging to tears. its a whole thing. idk
I cry when I hear Floor and your reactions fucking rock Girl I Love you too. I felt it ............... I didn't just hear it I felt it.
😭
This band is so amazing, one moment they can hype you up, give you energy. 1 minute later they make you cry!
Thomas Show us His wounds, that we think they are our wounds too and then he health the wounds. All in one Song.
The holy grail of NW songs 😅. Epic. ❤ And yes. Greatest Show on Earth live from Tampere. 22 min - THE masterpiece of NW so far.
That's debatable.
@@cliffordbarber5997 Wembley version of Greatest Show on Earth is better.
@@johnsmith-cw3wo Both are excellent (!), but me personal - I like the pyro and the look of Floor (like a goddess creating Gaia) more. 🤩
Fastest 13 mintues? How about 20 minutes. Greatest show on Earth is calling.
I'm not sure if you knew what this song was about. If you didnt, when you you find out, it really changes the way you hear the song when you hear it again.
This song and performances always breaks me. I tear up every time when I think about what Tuomas went through to write this song to take his life in the song instead of in real life. Absolutely beautiful composition and performance.
Normally I would suggest Ghost Love Score or some others that you have already seen. So for something different try I Want My Tears Back in Buenos Aries 2018/19. Or the really long one (22mins) The Greatest Show On Earth either at this venue Wembley 2015 , my favourite version with Richard Dawkins live on stage, or at Tampere 2015.
I love the Tampere version of The Greatest Show on Earth to show to people who have yet to experience the metal Mozart's genius.
one of the best songs of Nightwish
I loved watching your beautiful smile light up the screen as Floor sang her last 3 wordless phrases
This is the most important song and story in the history of Nightwish. All sexual connotations are being used as metaphors. The story behind this song would help you to understand it both lyrically and emotionally. I could see the confusion you experienced regarding some of the lyrics along with the twists and turns of the music.
Be well LJ.
I love the way you really get into these reactions
Greatest Show on Earth.
Definitely
Discovered Nightwish late in life. I'm 63 years young but still love all forms of rock and metal. I had the chance to see Nightwish just over a year ago, and just wow........what a night. I have rediscovered my love of good quality music with Nightwish. In fact I would go as far as to say, they have changed my life, giving me music and lyrics for my life and beliefs. Lily Jane, you just have to watch The Greatest show on Earth. I'm not ashamed to admit, I cried when I saw the song live. A truly staggering band for every reason....Music, Lyrics, the show, their beliefs,......... maybe watch the version at Tampere with the Lyrics, but the full meaning, from the heart comes with Richard Dawkins at Wembley in London. Whichever you watch (and i'm kinda guessing you probably already have by now), the trilogy from Nightwish, Poet and the Pendulum, Ghost Love Score and The Greatest Show on Earth are probably the greatest 3 music scores I have ever heard.
I always show people _I Want My Tears Back._ Lots of literary imagery, fun harmonies, and the bridge has dueling guitar and pipes solos… very cool…
The Poet and the Pendulum was written after firing Tarja the original singer. She was the face of Nightwish at the time, and Tuomas (Keyboards) wrote this and considered her a muse to many of the songs he had written at that point. They had also grown up in the same city and knew each other since early childhood. All the band members decided together to fire her for acting too much of a diva And her husband & Manager was stepping way outta bounds concerning the band business He always wanted more money , only big paying show but the band did it for the love of music and there fans . According to all the band members, Tarja was missing lots of rehearsals and would not even travel with the band anymore. Tuomas was painted as the devil by many fans, and went through a deep depression. He even considered ending the band . He wrote The Poet and the Pendulum at that time, and actually kills himself in the song. He said he killed himself in the song at the 10:00 time stamp , as to kill the pain he was going through . To this day every time he plays it, it takes him back to those feelings, and shows on his face. In the last part, Mother and Father, words are said to him that his real mother said to him at that time of his deep depression. One part that touches me at the end when the guitarist Emppu and bassist Marko, the only other two involved with firing Tarja (that were still active with the band at the time of this show )were standing with Tuomas at the end in solidarity and love., NOTE : the 1st two words are (The End) and the last two words are (The Beginning) representing the end of the 1st era of Nightwish and the beginning of the next era
He also fired another singer after she got pregnant. Toumas has always been a real piece of trash.
@@NPK476 I'll bet he doesn't fire Floor.
@@NPK476 He fired her because she was pregnant AND she insisted the huge world tour they were on was cancelled instead of hiring a replacement singer.
Stay with the facts please.
(He didn't fire Anette because she was trash live, even though he really should have.)
@@NPK476who the hell are you to judge!
@@irenehabes-quene2839 he's just someone who thinks he knows, but doesn't.
This track was originally recorded w/ vocalist Anette Olzen for the 'Dark passion play' (2007) album after original singer Tarja Turunen was fired in 2005... The intro was recorded w/ Anette (but I could be mistaken... they did use a choir for the album) - she was not an operatic singer, but she has a beautiful voice for sure... Floor only sang the lyrics live - the orchestral parts & spoken words had to be sampled, but she sang it more operatically than Anette.
Nightwish is Tuomas Holopainen's band... the keyboardist is the main composer and lyricist. The others have contributed musically... for example: Marco (bass) contributed 'The Islander' to 'Dark Passion Play'... and Emppu (guitar) contributed 'Whoever brings the night'... but Tuomas writes the lyrics and works w/ the band's singers on parts and arrangements. He brought Marco (bass) into Nightwish in 2001 because he wanted a male vocalist on the next album that became 'Century Child' in 2002.
After Tarja was fired, Tuomas was depressed and spent over a year working on the album without a female singer... By 2007, Tuomas felt that Nightwish was ready to audition singers and picked Anette Olzen because he wanted (at the time) to step away from the operatic vocals... Anette had a softer voice and seemed like the right choice to bring the new songs to life... and he was right for a while.
Unfortunately, a faction of Nightwish fans did not like what Anette brought to the band... but the first album w/ Anette became the biggest-selling Nightwish album of their career.
My mind was blown when I put on the Nightwish album 'Wishmaster'... the first song 'She is my sin' 🔥🔥🤘🤘I'd never heard anything like it back in 2001.
The opening was the original recording sung by a boy. Floor wanted to sing it live bu Tuomas wanted to keep the recorded part.
There actually is a demo track recorded with the choir (both the Metro Voices Choir and the boys choir) with Marco singing everything, so the track actually predates Anette joining the band. It's on the Dark Passion Play deluxe album. The lyrics are definitely darker than what was released.
what a show though. and a literal valkyrie
And I know you have people close to you that have served in the military so I want to say happy Veterans Day to all the veterans out there
The most important thing in understanding Nightwish is... umh... hmmp... is understanding.
Check out Shoemaker, I want my tears back from Buenos Aries ( Floor Dances) , Ghost Love Score.
I use this, 7 days to the wolves, The greatest show on Earth, I want my tears back, Master passion greed, Bye bye beautiful.
Great reaction as always to what is arguably the most important song in the Nightwish catalogue - glad you enjoyed it 🤘
It was so cute, where you remembered the death caused by the blade and the twitch as the song goes on so smooth at 11:53 🙂
Just stoped the song 1 or 2 seconds to soon and you would heared the nicest "Thank you" ever 😀
Lilly Jane, you always show how much you love the musing of Nightwish but still, listen to the very last second, there is always more. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
So gut, I think Weak Fantasy from Tampere und Greatest Show on Earth same concert will always be top of list. Dank..
When Floor sings" you have such oceans within" look at the size of her vocal chamber (mouth).... she doesn't even need that microphone....
Always liked this song.
Everytime i hear this song i must literally cry over floors beautifull voice
So much beauty going on here...
Love a lot of bands .. but I think .. [pff think ]... Nightwish is one of the best [Live]💗 .. and we love a REAL music lover reaction .. Tnx👍 .. Greetings from Amsterdam..✌
Gethsemane. It blew me away when I first heard this song from the very beginning of their career. It's something you do five albums in, not as teenagers.
I love your reactions, I send you many kisses😘😘😘
best regards from Poland 😁
"7 days to the wolves" and "Devil & the deep dark ocean".
🤓🇸🇪
Love the reaction... The Beginning was a Child Soprano and as mentioned checkout the back story of this masterpiece and it will hit you so much harder every time you listen to it again.
Basically music and the lyrics was compose by a single person and the rest of the band members will add their personal touch on their part
Tuomas creates and composes 85+% of all Nightwish songs and albums. He also works with the symphonies and choirs to create any of the backing tracks needed. That's why you may have heard us refer to him as the Metal Mozart.
Nightwish is to classical as to what Kenny G. is to jazz. Eddie Van Halen was far closer to mozart then nightwish.
This is a beautiful piece of art that was written by a man whilst plummeting into the bottomless abyss of depression and despair.
The listener is given a glimpse into Tuomas’s very soul and I can’t think of any songwriter that has written a song that is more naked and raw. He’s really managed to drench the lyrics with his intense emotions during this dark time in his life.
The arrangement of this song is otherworldly. Just the fact that he has managed to line up the song so that it’s exactly three minutes from “I only have three minutes and counting” to the point where he “cuts” his head off is mind blowing.
The last part is also amazingly beautiful. It’s basically a compilation of things that his parents said to him as they tried to comfort him.
I myself has battled severe depression and my parents said similar things to me, so that part is especially emotional for me.
As for your question I would say Ghost Love Score is fhe song that I would present to a first time listener. It really is THE best song they ever made and that is why it is the only song that never will be left out from their setlist.
Welcome to the Family ❤
You have steadily become one of my favorite recipes of all time with your originality, and you're always authentic reactions have become a staple in my day.
The obvious next Nightwish song for you to react to would be The greatest show on earth. That song is incredible, and you will witness " The Greatest Show on Earth"
Absolutely amazing band!
Great and awesome performance... Thanks 🙏
Thank you for another great Nightwish reaction. As you can tell, they never fail to take you to amazing places. Much love.
You gotta know what this song is about to really appreciate it .
his transitions are on point
Great, thank you!
There's a version of this song where it's just Marko on vocals that's worth checking out.
The album Dark Passion Play, all of the songs were written before Nightwish found a vocalist to replace Tarja, and they recorded the demos with Marko singing the songs. It's the only Nightwish album where it was written with no particular vocalist in mind.
Nightwish, that`s all. Thanks Tuomas.
edger allen poe wrote the pit and the pendulum, this is the poet, Tuomas writing about himself the poet and the pendulam. great reaction by the way from Colorado
Damn, that's probably the most beautiful thing i've ever seen.... ok, nightwish too was nice😅
Great video
3:09 Elliott's voice melting brains since...2012ish lmao
Hello Lilly.
The song "The Poet and the Pendulum" is a 13 Minute journey through the mind and turmoil of Tuomas Holopainen after the year 2005. It was in that year the band parted with their long-time singer Tarja Turunen and had a personal falling out with her. The pain of the separation was big on both sides, and shown in this song. There is the responsibility that the band and Holopainen had to show towards the fans,. It was the End of an Era for them, and reason for Holopainen being lost as described in these lyrics. We can only of course to a certain degree suppose how much of these are truly Holopainen's feelings, wishes and pains - but we do know that the lyrics of Nightwish have been up to then very personal. Other songs on the album also digest this separation and falling out of the members with Turunen.
This is one of the interpretations and i know lots of fans do not agree, they just need to read the open letter that was given to Tarja by the whole band at her last concert with Nightwish, where they fired her. And the main reason that Tuomas went through a depression was that specially the Tarja fans where furious and showed that in the media and everyone was blaming Tuomas. (the fans spit on his grave). He felt the whole world was against him.
However personal and "real" these thoughts are, I feel like this song definitely takes us not only on a journey with Holopainen but also into ourselves. The music underlines the emotional gravity of the song extremely well. And I believe a lot of people can actually relate to a sense of guilt and being overwhelmed that all they desired for is the safety of home and innocence. While being personal, the song can still ring true to it's listener. That's a quality Nighwish possesses in many, many more songs. The emotional journey is one we can all share and very few bands know how to put that journey into song and especially into sound as well as Nightwish does.
The band remains through all it's shores and Oceans, one of my main favourites and I hold special place for the band in my musical heart. I hope you have enjoyed reading my analysis and share some of my thoughts. If you do have any comments, please feel free to let me know. And remember the beauty of interpretation is that it is subjective; we can see all and feel different things in the same song and continue to love it endlessly.

Greetings from the Netherlands
Song of Myself from Wacken 2013 - nuff said.
This performance Lilly Jane of this masterpiece was my introduction to Nightwish and Floor around 2 years ago after a good friend kept pestering me to listen to Nightwish. I eventually relented and was blown away and have been ever since by this phenomenal band. Toumas at 13:52 gets me every time as does Floor, always. Thank you. 🙏😊👍❤️
"The Greatest Show on Earth" at Tampere.
Absolutely love this song and especially the middle and end when she really does that high lullaby type stuff man it will bring a tear to your eye
This is the story of Tuomas's depression after the sacking of Tarja the first singer and the vitriol he received from many fans and how he managed to cope by writing this and other songs. With subtitles it is broken down into the various sections and obviously the lyrics.
I concur!!!
The voice at the beginning is a boy soprano.
Great reaction to an incredible piece of music. 👍🤟 Tuomas is a genius! To open his soul like this takes guts and conviction. I’m sure others in the comments have given you the story about this song. Calling this just a “song” though doesn’t do it justice.
I can’t listen to this without tearing up it hits me so hard!
The voice at the start is a recording of a Choir Boy.
The greatest show on earth please 🎉🎉
This might sound strange, because we all know Nightwish is usually a dish best served live- but you mentioned "well thought out". I'd like to suggest the official music video for "Noise" (with lyrics). Then, back it up with the live version from Hellfest!
Hi Lilly Jane and welcome to the Nightwish army ;) When the group was created in early 1990, the singer, Tarja Turunen, was really into symphonic lyric singing. Then, when Tarja left in 2007, she was succeeded by Anette Olzon with a more Celtic, romantic, less lyrical range. In 2012, Anette left the group. It was during Wacken 2013 that Floor Janssens officially became the singer of the group. Floor has the particularity of having a song and a power that comes from metal (her husband is the drummer of the group Sabaton) and a lyrical culture. This is just my opinion, but Floor is without a doubt THE singer Nightwish needed to give Tuamas all its creative potential ;) Hello from France ;)
Love how you really get this band LJ👍 Another awesome reaction🤘🤘
The brilliance, nuance and mastery of Tuomas’ songwriting lyrics and composition never ceases to amaze me. 3 minutes exactly from where he says “I have 3 minutes and counting “ is when he simulates with his hand the pendulum cutting his throat. Amazing!🤘🤘
Tuomas wrote this song as a metaphorical suicide or he was going to do it in real life. It stemmed from firing his friend and former lead, Tarja. The line “I cannot cry because the shoulder cries more” was the entire band was feeling that loss and that lead to a very dark point for him. Where the boy says “I have but 3 minutes in counting” is significant as you can hear the pendulum winding up and three minutes later the suicide takes place. I’ve seen them many times in concert but I’ve only ever seen them perform this song once live.
Thank you for your reaction. So heartfelt ❤ Please also react to the Phantom of the Opera in the Ziggo Dome 2023 of Nightwish. Floor singing with Henk Poort! Absolutely a masterpiece!!
Awesome reaction.
