The first time I heard Nightwish was in 2019 after Floor participated in the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers'. I immediately became a Flooraholic and checked out her history and binge watched her on RUclips ever since. I never considered me as a metalhead, but experiencing Floor and Nightwish changed my life.
Similar to you I became a Nightwish and Floor addict around 18 months ago at the age of 56 having not previously heard of them. Thanks to a good friend who pestered me in to listening to "The Poet and the Pendulum" live from Wembley 2015 my musical world has been turned upside down and inside out ever since. Prior to this I wouldn't have bothered listening to symphonic metal as I had preconceived ideas about it but not now. Phenomenal band with all members masters of their craft fronted by in my humble opinion the best vocalist that I have ever had the pleasure and privilege to see and hear. 🙏😊👍❤️
@@PaulOutdoors I`m 64 years old and have been listening to Nightwish for over 15 years I started when Anette Olsen joined I really preferred her voice to Tarja`s but Floor really has the best vocal range. I really wish symphonic metal was played more in the US. Also check out Floor Jansen`s concert in Amsterdam you will be amazed.
@@dianabryson5264 Thank you Diana. Yes, I've been all over Floors solo shows, everything that she has been involved in. It's a crime against music that Nightwish and Floor aren't household names in the US, here in UK, everywhere. Nightwish with Floor is my favourite flavour 🙏😊👍❤️
This is one of my favorite songs of Nightwish because it’s just so beautiful! I highly recommend listening to devil and the deep dark ocean! I started listening to Nightwish in 2020! Their music really helped me get through the pandemic!
Great reaction! I first discovered NightWish 2 years ago while on the internet discovering my ancestry. I was researching Poland, Ireland and Finland, trying to get a sense of what the culture is like. I discovered them when looking into the Music culture and my life has been better than I could have ever dreamed. My whole outlook on life became brighter and more positive. The same year, I managed to see them LIVE and get a Band signed CD. My most treasured possession along with my Floor Jansen 1 of 1000 Debut solo album Autographed boxed set, and of course the Auri 2 album signed by Tuomas, Johanna and Troy.
One of the rare songs that was sung by all 3 vocalists.
One of the rare songs that is not based on an idea of Tuomas.
Its about the solar eclipse of 11.August 1999 in Northern Europe.(...222 days of light....)
(longest time in Romania with 2min30somewhat seconds----greetings to Gabriel Bardac)
As such written and released in 1999 short before the solar eclipse.
Making it into the top-charts in some countries.....
....of course Finland No 1.......
I believe the production company ( Drakkar Records) asked him to write a song about it with the addition: please not longer than 3 mins.
Knowing Tuomas...he made it in about 4:30 mins !
This day in 1999 will forever reminded by me as very magical one.
The world stood still...total silence ...even the birds were quiet.....
This version is the best of all time.....(my opinion)
Nightwish Army South Germany Division
100 % agree....this song is in my Top-List the Number 1
Agreed!
@@ladydalida6917 Was my absolute fav in Tarja days.......
Really connected me to Nightwish.....
But then the GODDESS showed up and my fav No 1 song is nowadays a lot more than 1........
And yes, despite my age I am the first time in my life a fanboy ......
Not to mention the many covers of this song.
My favorite is Marcela Bovio. McKenna Rae and Elina Siirala are also very nice.
@@heinzlotze9123 Marcela auch? muss ich mir anhören...danke
I absolutely love this song. I think this is one Toumas' most beautiful works.
I'm a relative newbie I found them early 2022 Ghost Love Score blew my brains out I've been down the rabbit hole ever since. My new fav is Dead Boys Poem live at Bueno Ares 2018 really shows Floors vocals stunning performance by them. Thanks for reacting I enjoy your reactions especially Pink Floyd
Thx Lilly !! Nice to see you smile !! 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼
The ultimate lullaby
As for me I think my first hearing of Nightwish was in the late 90s, maybe 98 or 99.
I used to wander in a shop that sold TVs, hifi, records, video cassettes... It was a big shop, and the guy who was in charge of the ambiance music was a Nightwish fan, and he kept on putting their songs so loud in the shop !
I was thinking: wow this band is great !! 😍
It was during the time of their 2nd album Oceanborn, and the singer was Tarja...
Then time passed, and I only re-discovered Nightwish with Floor few years ago.
Now I can't spend 1 day without listening to a Nightwish song...
To answer your question... The first time with NIGHTWISH in my life was 2001 (uh-oh, that is a historical fact by now...), when "She Is My Sin" (the opener of "Wishmaster" album, their 3rd) just blew my mind. I was listening to nothing but them for days on end, digging back into the catalogue, marveling at the sophistication of the compositions and the operatic dusky quality of the original singer Tarja's velvety vocals. The "rebirth" of NIGHTWISH with Floor at the mic brought me right back into the band's camp after a period of some turmoil - which really yielded numerous of their best songs!. Floor and Tuomas' crew together was a union of my favorite artists, probably the one event in music last decade to live up to, and overshoot, the expectations.
Thank you for discovering this band with us! Long may they reign.
Wow, I'm the first, won't say much, beautiful reactor, beautiful song, and beautiful Floor, doesn't get much better....
Hello Lilly James, You are dealing with an 80 year old fellow who is a long time Nightwish fan....I'm sorry, but I have no clue about Telegraph Messenger....You are a very sweet lady, and I appreciate what you are trying to do....God Bless, Bob from New Jersey
over the last 5 or 6 years of being on youtube I of course saw their name come up many times but I never paid attention. Then in 2019, prior to the world shutting down, I saw their name again and decided to give them a listen. Storytime, only my second time hearing them, made me an instant fan for life from that year on
I've heard Nightwish for the first time around 2005 when I was like 14 y/o. I pretty much grew on their music. Nightwish, Metallica and Lordi - those 3 bands were my gateway to music. :)
I believe the audience is completely captivated by this song, which is why there is a noticeable absence of any significant movement throughout the crowd.
This song is LEGENDARY.
You are correct. The 1999 solar eclipse in Europe , the middle east, and India. First released as a stand alone single, and later included on the reissue of the second album, Oceanborn, later that year. Later, check out original lead singer Tarja Turunen's version from End of an Era concert.
The next Nightwish album is currently in the process of being recorded, guessing early next year for release.
Many of Nightwish songs I'm Floored by, pun intended.
In an interview, Tuomas Holopainen revealed that the song was inspired by the late summer nights in Finland. He described the feeling of looking at the midnight sun and how it affects his emotions and creativity.
I discoverd Nightwish in 2019...and tought why I never listen to them before...its one of my
favoriet bands now ❤IT
Two years ago, ghost love score I was hooked I listen to them every day I’ve downloaded all the albums with Floor Jansen not since Linda Ronstadt have I been hooked on a female singer.
First heard Nightwish in '99. Said what is this, its amazing ......2024 ,still say that
First exposure to NW was in 2006 I believe. That concert, End of an Era was the first NW I watched.
Back when we had metal magazines, we would see ads and reviews of bands, and in 2000... Century Media put out an ad for the Nightwish album 'Wishmaster' w/ a picture of Tarja, the original singer... That was the first time I heard of them. I bought a copy of 'Wishmaster' around 2001 and the moment Tarja's voice came on the first song 'She is my sin'... I was blown away. I had never heard an opera singer in a metal band and the whole record was a revelation for me. I bought the entire Nightwish catalog and finally got to see them live in 2004 at a club in Minneapolis (which was the only US tour they did w/ Tarja on vocals before she was fired in 2005).
The first time I heard a song by Nightwish was last year when I came across a reaction to their Wacken 2013 performance of Storytime. Great reaction Lilly!
Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to discover Nightwish, a phenomenal symphonic rock band. Up until then, the only other band of this genre that had captured my attention was Epica. It was during this musical exploration that I stumbled upon Nightwish's enchanting melody, "Sleeping Sun." From the very first moment that this captivating tune graced my ears, I was instantly enamored. The harmonious fusion of orchestral elements and rock instrumentation within the song swept me off my feet, leaving an indelible mark on my soul.
Sleeping Sun is a song not often played but is treated with respect from fan, not a song to get crazy with. First experience had to be around 2004-05 when I watched the music channels and it was I wish I had an Angel appeared on Kerrang, didn't care for it and didn't know the band name. Who knew come 2013-14 I would re-find NIghtwish and listen to them since.
Hi LJ, greetings from UK
I first heard them in 2002 (I think). I know that I saw them in 2004 and I think that was a couple of years after I first heard them 😊
The crowd were in the presence of musical greatness 🙏😊👍❤️
Great reaction. Love Nightwish.
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 well done Lilly Jane and welcome back
One of the early Songs, it is about the solar eclipse "two hundred and twenty two days of light will be desired by the night". Because that's the amount of time that went by before the eclipse (11th of August was the 223rd day of the year 1999). At that time their german record Label asked to write a song about it. One of the terms was "not longer than 3 minutes", Knowing Tuomas, he made it 4+
But it's also true that everyone has a different view of this song.
Usually something they have experienced themselves.
I've discover Nightwish 2009 at 52YOld with this song and Tarja. Immediatly fall in love of this band. Since I listen them almost every day with reaction chanels. I must have listened Ghost love score at least several hundred times! I love listening to Tarja as much as Floor. They each have their qualities. Nightwish knew how to highlight their respective talents. Thanks to react to them.
In 2019 I had caught the music reaction channel bug and, on a reaction video from a channel I was frequenting regularly, a video from their channel for "Ghost Love Score" @Wacken '13 was at the very top of the "recommended video" section to the right. I had never heard of Nightwish before. I clicked on it and it was love at first listen. Then came Floor on "Beste Zangers" that Summer. All that time sharing the experience with other Nightwish fans I'd meet in the comment sections and often say hi to (such as the dearly missed Ann Waychoff) made my frequently difficult days so much happier.
One day in 2004, the BBC World Service broadcast information about Once, then the new album by Nightwish (then with Tarja). The BBC presenter played a song called Planet Hell. I was immediately blown away by the singing of Tarja and Marko as well as the overall performance. I have been a fan of the band since that day.
Great reaction Lilly! You're so close to 100K subs! I'm excited for you to reach that mark!
I am beyond excited too. Thank you for supporting my channel 😁
First time hearing Nightwish, 2009.
Magical, mesmerising.
The best music I ever heard.
Before that, I listened a lot of Within Temptation
I first discovered Nightwish through their FILM, Imaginaerum by Nightwish
The first time I seen them was Wacken open air 2013. Sat back stage and had my mind blown.
Nightwish fan since 2000(24yesrs)🥰🤘🖤
I discovered Nightwish from another Reaction channel in January of 2019...as he was reacting to Ghost Love Score. I was hooked and I mainly listen to Nightwish.
If you want some harder songs, try "7 Days to the Wolves" or. "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" or "Song of Myself"
It was the release of album Once in 2004, i discovered Nightwish, and i loved them ever since, so that makes it 19yrs of Nightwish by now, my favorite part about Nightwish is Tuomas Holapainen, and hes abillity to write and compose great songs.. i do like every member in NW, but if i should pick one induvdal out it have to be him, the core of NW..
every time i hear this song i get goosebumps.
Floors voice just touch your soul ❤
the first time i heard nightwish was back in 1999 so i have been around for some time with nightwish. The first song i heard i think was there cover for "over the hills and far away" Strongly recommend it. It's a song originaly sang by Gary Moore
saw them live 2022
I was surfin' YT one night about 6 years ago when I came across a video about lost and sunken ships that had Tarja's version of Sleeping Sun playing. I always remembered that song. Little did I know what laid ahead in finding this amazing band.
It was a computer generated reenactment of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald where I first heard it as well
First time I heard Nightwish, that was maybe in Spring or Summer 1999. That was in a cybercafe. "Sacrament of Wilderness" is the song I heard first.
You should also react to In Flames, probably Come Clarity, As The World Explodes, Quiet Place, Colony, Stay With Me, Meet Your Maker, The Great Deceiver & Only For The Weak are the ones to choose 🤘
First time I heard Nightwish was late 1998 when Sacrament of Wilderness was played in Finnish radio.
I heard some NW songs on finnish radio in early 2000. Didn't effect me so much then. But my first big WOW! was when seeing them live at Tuska Festival 2004 in Helsinki.
Good one.
I think this song is just not a headbanger, so the audience was probably standing there spellbound. I know I love it! I first heard the song Bless the Child on cable TV in 2006-07. That music video featured Tarja who had left in '05. The song made a lasting impression, but I never really saw them again or followed up until rediscovering them in 2018.
Super beautiful song, just to beat by bless the child ❤
Oh man. First time I heard of Nightwish was in 2001, shortly after they released From Wishes to Eternity concert. Marko was still not a part of the band then, but Sami Vänska. It was much different Nightwish back then.
I`ve been listening to Nightwish since Dark Passion Play was released , it was hard to find live concert`s then but thanks to You Tube that is not a problem . Floor the 3rd vocalist for the band is the best female singer in the world as she can sing all different styles of music. Check out her live concert in Amsterdam and you will see what I mean.
I’ve been listening to Nightwish since 2004 when Nemo hit the radio.
I first heard Floor sing in the end credits of the music video for Christmas Truce by Sabaton.
this is how a Queen turns out to be a Goddess
The first time I heard Nightwish was back in 1998 and 'sleeping sun" was the first song I've heard. Actually it was the official video of the song (the first one they made for this song, with Tarja only appearing in it) in the 'Headbangers ball' show on Mtv. I don't know if this show still exists. Sleeping sun also became my wake up alarm sound the last 18 years. It just wakes me up so smoothly.
the song sang by tarja is deff another thing
The first time i heard nightwish was in 2021
❤❤❤❤❤❤
2001 - Wishmaster on some German music television. It was simple music video made out of live performances across the tour. (when I first saw them)
On 20th September 2024 their new album "Yesterwynde" will be released. I am very much looking forward to it.
Joe Cocker
Your so beautiful to me. 😊Most emotional song and singer.
I think the crowd reaction is more laid back due to the nature of this slow song. 2018 - GLS!
Another great reaction. Have u listened to epica there like a harder version of nightwish
Nightwish Army south Brittany France reporting.
Floor sings this beautifully, but this will always remains Tarya's song.
Good Video As Always

Have a Great Week Ahead
Stay Bless N Be safe Always
If you check out Last Ride of the Day from this Masters of Rock show you'll see plenty of crowd engagement - I think it's because of the mellow vibe of this song that the crowd response seems mutted.
I first Nightwish about five years ago thanks to my old lead singer who saw them at the Bloodstock festival in the UK and sent me a link to GLS from Wacken - I was instantly blown away 🤘
"MUTED" ? - its called respect !
@richardwest6358 yeah, I don't think the crowd was muted, the reactor questioned the crowd reaction, I was simply trying to explain why!
2 epica songs i recommend are abyss of time live and Facade of reality live
Floor's high belts are a global treasure.
Floor is a global treasure.
There is their latest album you don't know. It's the magnificent dubble album
Human and Nature.
Check this out and you will be amazed.
first song i heard was 10th man down in 2009, my 1st year of high school
Such a beautiful song. Apart from Nightwish singers many more have covered it.
Dear Lilly Jane!! Have you heard any songs from Death? You should give this once great band a listen. They are disbanded since the band's leader/founder Chuck Schuldiner passed away from a brain tumor back in 2001. Still, the band is excellent! Check out their stuff! I recommend their "Symbolic" album! Give it a listen! Chuck had changed the band members for every Death album. The finished product was always top notch! So please, give them a listen, and a review!
4:54 I'm quite sure this wasn't directed by Ville Lipiainen. Those ones you described are Ville's clips.
This song is original to Tarja T. former Nightwish vocalist.
The song is about the extended period of darkness that Northern Finland (which is inside the Arctic circle) experiences during the year.
actually i believe it was about the solar eclipse in 1999 which hadn't happened for a long long time, so Tuomas was asked to write a song for it. In the years after he said he would never do such a thing again, writing a song about a particular subject on request, as music should come from the heart not forced
I have a friend who lives in Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada and I don't think I could handle the 30 days of night/30 days of sunlight
This is one of oldest Nightwish hits. From album "Oceanborn" back in 1998. You were right about the solar eclipse. I personally did hear Nightwish also in -98 from a german music channel Viva. I immediately knew it was something different.
Pardon the slight correction. _Sleeping Sun_ was not originally in *Oceanborn* in -98 since the solar eclipse happened in August of -99 and that's when the single was first released. It was added to the reissue of Oceanborn in -99.
You are right about that reissue. But old Nightwish song anyway. @@Distorted80
As awesome as Floor is this song was made for Tarja's more Operatic style! The heavier remix is PERFECT with the soldiers in battle!
😘

🐕hey LJ and NWA
I would like to suggest “ten years after” I have been enjoying your channel. Thank you
🎸🤘
Great but now I want to hear solar flare!!!
Melissa by Mercyful Fate has one of the best guitar intro solos ever Lilly.
The only song that I would honestly say you need tarja singing not floor . It's just another level with tarjas voice
This isn't a song you go wild to. It's melancholic and ethereal, the kind of song that makes a "fanbase audience" turn on the phone flashlights and wave them in the air.
First time heard *Nightwish* in -97. First time saw them live in -98. Three guys in the band still had relatively short hair because they had recently got out of doing military service. Come to think of it, Sami, the bass player, was the only long-haired band member, which was kind of an anomaly at the time for most metal bands.
🤩👌💥💯🎶
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Think I heard Nightwish first time around 1998-1999. Didn't really care about the operatic singing. I was more into thrash; Metallica, Testament, etc. I'm Finnish btw. Then later maybe 2002-2003 I bought Nightwish 1997-2001 four cd "box set". Don't remember why, maybe it was on sale or I was just curious. Tarja's singing really grew on me and the songs are great on those albums.
Need to go in the rabbit hole try URIAH HEEP Song, Tears in my Eyes or July Morning 1971 epic. Refer to as the Heavy Metal Beach Boys
My death song!
The first time I heard nightwish was 2007, the song Gethsemane off of their 1999 album Oceanborn, at that point ive heard a few metal bands incorporate operatic vocals in their music, but it was never on this level. I know reacting to Floor Jansen is popular among reaction youtubers, but I wish more people went out of their way to listen to Nightwish's back catalogue. People are missing out on how special Tarja Turunen was.
This song is actually better Original ❤ With Tarja
Im sure that the crowd was very much engaged. This is just one of those songs that really gets to you. When I saw them last November in Amsterdam they played this song.
I was crying so hard and singing so loud but ofc that doesn’t show from a diatant.
The camera angle of the crowd shots are very boring in this video.
If you’ve seen “last ride of the day” from the same show you will see the Nightwish Army at its best.
This is a version sung by Floor Jansen, their third and current vocalist. Their original singer, Tarja Turunen, and opera soprano who was too good for them (just being honest hardcore Nightwish fans... lol) sang it much better with seemingly less effort, as great singers often can. 😎😌
hi, it would be amazing if u would listen to: Flaws and Sins - Juice WRLD
Очень красивая девушка.
