The answer is No, there is nothing Floor can't sing. In fact people joked around so long about the fact that they would listen to her sing the phonebook that she actually did it.
...and it was the most amazing phonebook ever! >.>

That video clip was awesome to watch. 😄

I will never skip the song "Last Ride of the Day" - It's the last song of their 1hr 30 min set and they still all killed it. It never gets old for us old NW fans to see people see their performances for the first time. It's why we love reaction channels to start their NW adventure.
I have made my son promise that when I'm gone He will take My ashes to themepark for last rollercoaster ride with last ride playing from BT spaker. Our special connection
The Poet and the pendulum live with lyrics is the best experiance of the % Stages of Grief I as a death worker have ever heard , the back story is wrenching. Tuomas' time on the edge

Gonna have to dead boys poem, nemo, and greatest show on earth too (this one for GSOE) m.ruclips.net/video/bl6lUfIMkGM/видео.html&feature=share
I genuinely don't have a favorite NW song. This band are unique, in my experience, there are no duff songs, no set fillers, no 'meh' ...Tuomas Holopainen is a genius and with Floor in his armoury they could probably make unblocking a toilet pipe into an emotional rollercoaster of musical magnificence. Keep em coming..thanks
Thank you!!
I struggle to find a favorite aswell. My mom asked me what my favorite was and I ended up recommending her 15 songs. And she liked all of them! 👍🏻❤️
Same here. Impossible to choose. They have everything for every mood.
my favorite Nightwish song is what ever one is currently playing.
Also if you don't feel anything while listening to Nightwish, you might just be dead.
So many great songs from this concert, but one of my favorites is Ghost River, which features an incredible back and forth between Marco (the evil character) and Floor (the good character)
Hello again, Slashley. Carol, my wife of 41 years, and I had the great pleasure of seeing Nightwish live at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco on May 18th, 2022. The trip from Phoenix was so worth the wonderful experience that is every Nightwish live show. Loved it and thank you for this incredible reaction to our beloved band with Floor.
Love Nightwish, they are just so talented and always seem to be having fun doing it. They are just so positive you can't help but smile when you watch them.
I wished I heard of them 10 years ago
I've heard this song a thousand times and I still get chills every time xD
It is absolutely 100% addictive! I can't say how many times i've watched Ghost Love Score in the past 4 years, lost count, and it's still amazing indeed!
I'm new to Nightwish as well and have never seen them live, yet!, but I do envy everyone that was at this concert. Every video is amazing, I have their "Showtime, Storytime" Blu-ray on order! Lost track of how many vids I've watched the last two months, especially all the reaction vids.
I got the DVD as I heard there were issues with play speed on the Blu-ray.
I'd be interested to hear if this problem has been resolved - or are they still knocking out the old faulty copies.
Nightwish: best addiction ever...🤘😁
👋🇮🇹🖖
@@dazjackson1972 I really want to get the dvd it's a pain in the butt being in Australia having to get import stuff from overseas
@@mking846 That's bad. All of the Nightwish DVD and Blu-ray I own are region free, so if you manage to get them you are good to go.
Well done. We ❤ the passion for our favorite band. I would suggest adding a little variety by checking out 7 Days to the Wolves from their Wembley performance. During the May 2022 concert I was fortunate enough to attend, Floor said it is one of her favorites. If given the opportunity, go see them LIVE. A year later and I am still buzzing from it.
That sounds amazing!!!
I 2nd this... my favorite track by them!
@@gabefarrer9627 First seeing & hearing it on RUclips was mind blowing. Experiencing it live on the last leg of their North American tour was something else entirely.
I seen them may of 22 in Massachusetts! We flew from the Midwest best concert I've ever seen this is coming from a 50yr old who has seen many concerts ! Keep them coming your in for a Rollercoaster of emotions . ❤
If you want to see some real interaction between band and crowd, check out the conveying Buenos Aires. Nightwish throws a concert and a soccer crowd shows up when they perform “I Want My Tears Back “
Absofuckinglutely! Thats a fkn great version of that song!
This song is amazing, from the quiet opening, through Marko coming in, to the second half key change and double kicks ride to the finish. It's impossibly good.Floor has said it is the hardest song for her to sing, and I'm all but sure it's what continuous belting that high for around a minute or two at the end there.
That said, Storytime. Storytime live from this show is my favorite Nightwish song. The energy in it, the lyrics, the chorus. Literally everything. I fell in love with them, and Floor, due to that song, and decided if I had a time machine that I wanted to go there. Failing that, I went to see them live last year and it was amazing. Definitely check out Storytime, but I am sure that's on your list. One that might not be is Nemo, also from this show. That song tears me up in the second half of it. Right from when Floor shouts out to Empuu and he does the solo to the end of the song, it gets a little overwhelming for me sometimes. In a good way. Might be the flute, but it is also Floor's voice of course, the enegry of this show. Everything. Also that sign though, could not be more appropriately timed, as I am always feeling it in that moment.
Yep. I almost agree with your assessment.
With my personality, I just cannot pick one favorite from here. Just sit back, relax and listen to all of it. Easy. :D
Yep! The beginning of this honestly captivated me!
Storytime from this show is hard to beat...my personal favorite, if I was forced to choose just one.
so with marko retireing you saw NW with him?, cuz i've seen nightwish live videos early in 23 and i know they have a new bassist how about a new male backup singer to replace marko, if thats even possible, i love storytime too , i show my friends that one who never even heard of NW, towards the end i tell em she about to go fullon opera on us then their jaws drop, and i just say floor jansen
@@jeffreygreer I didn't get to see Nightwish with Marko. It was with their new bassist. Was still one of the greatest shows I have ever seen, although yes, I would have liked to have heard Marko sing.
Ever Dream is like driving a fine sports car. Start off slow and just start going through the gears. Then kick in top gear at the end.
The great thing about Nightwish. You get the same energy performance regardless if in a crowd of 800 or 82000.
Chills after chills, goosebumps on goosebumps, that's Floorgasms! Pretty much All the songs are in this way, and if not they bring other strong feelings, hope to see you soon again.
One of my favs she dose something to your soul she was put on this earth to sing and perform she's a badass this is her hardest song to sing she said kick ass need to do DEAD BOYS POEM is a must
Ash, let me tell you, you're just getting started! So many more beautiful songs waiting to be discoverd by you. Prepare for heaps of chills, numerous surprises, countless moments of excitement, returning lyrics filled with touching melancholy and much, much more. You'll also find out that picking a favourite song is simply impossible. There are just too many fantastic songs. My list of favourites is long!
Aweee thank you!!!
I concur!
Hear, Hear!!
Try "Yours Is An Empty Hope" (live at Wembley) to hear yet another thing Floor can do. You won't believe it.
Maybe from this concert Song of Myself or Dark Chest of Wonders but really you can't go wrong.
Wow, you’ve turned into a mega Nightwish fan girl, who couldn’t be a fan they’re just so awesome!
Chills, goosebumps etc are collectively known as Frissons technically, colloquially skin 0r945ms 😜
Great reaction Ash, nice makeup! Hope you had a great night out tonight 💖
Thank you!!!!!!
The energy this band always creates with their crowd connection is incredible!!
Get on the Nightwish express. It takes you away. You don’t know where they’ll take you but you know it going to be friggin’ epic.
Sensory overload….and Floorgasms..NW style!!
Nightwish Army, Pacific Northwest Coastal Division reporting in.
Everdream is one of my favorite songs regardless of the Nightwish singer who sang it. OK, so I happen to love all of Nightwish's singers past and present AND, it is impossible for me to have a favorite NW song because I love them all so much!
Thank you Miss Slashly for your support of our favorite band. YOU ROCK!!!
Your fan.
Hey beautyfull!!! This happens when all the band is the best in what they do. Good reaction. Thanks. Greettings from Argentina
When you have vocal athleticism like in this performance it's very easy to overlook what Jukka (the drummer) is doing.... watch his feet at 8:25 doing the double kicking.... It's insane!!!!!
Uggghh. The double kicks.. the concert I went to tonight...the drums had me zoomin!!!
yeah I kinda do know who they are and I am ready for it here in Columbus Ohio. EDIT: It only took two songs and I was all in with this band, and the song, from this concert - pronounced vahken by the way - that did it for me was Storytime
Thank youuu!!!
I'm a big Nightwish fan from South West England
" Bless The Child" is pretty sick. You'll get to it eventually I'm sure lol. Keep 'em comin
My favorite Nightwish song. Agree 100%. 👍🏻
I concur
I'll have to check it out!
Now you're all over my feed. Nightwish has you now.
Yessss
Every subsequent Nightwish song becomes a favourite. Wembley concert was great too. If I had a favourite, for emotions, it has to be "The Poet and The Pendulum" performed at Wembley - maybe just for personal relatability but also because it's SO deep and real! There is a long backstory to it but knowing that is not required to appreciate the music and the performance - short version, Tuomas' suicide in song rather than real life. The album version was so good but Floor gave it her all and brought it even more to life. You can see how close all the band members were/are.
Great reaction Ash. Its crying time again. Nightwish/Floor is the ONLY band that has EVER brought me to tears, and they do it every time...sheesh. I don't even try to understand why anymore, it is just part of the experience for me. Ghost Love Score was the first one I stumbled upon so I call that my favorite. However, any song from this performance could fill that slot, honestly. For me they are all tear jerkers. Simply put, nothing else compares to the perfection that is Nightwish at Wacken 2013. Semper Fi 🤘🤘
Thank you 🥺
Marko is a great Singer i miss him in Nightwish
From what I've seen. He really was great!
@@SlashleyReacts Well he still is, I saw him with his solo band live just yesterday. He's thriving!
Marcos earlier band Tarot is legendary and will do one gig in coming summer in bands hometown Kuopio, Finland
marko will go on a european tour with tarja
Last of the Wilds from Wacken 2013 is really great
Awesome Reaction Video Ash Happy Monday Hope you had a great weekend you look absolutely gorgeous as always love the hair and black lipstick and beautiful smile of yours just adds to your overall beauty Hope all is well 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
This is one of my favorite songs - and you're right - buckle up for a deep dive into their song history. It's impossible to not want to learn more about this band once you get started.
one of my favorite songs from this concert, and Dark chest of wonders, Bless the child, Ghost River ect..ect..ect
thanks Ash nice reaction❤#BeSafe🤘
i´m a returner and yes i know Nightwish
It is almost impossible to pick just one single fav song. There are to many, and they are all perfect. But, if i had to choose one right now, maybe, it would be 7 Days to the Wolves, tomorrow it might be a different one. If you want to react to that song, go for the live at wembley version, it is stunning.
Concur!
The entire 2013 show is amazing. The song Ghost River is amazing, with lots of Marko and Floor vocals.
Well, they juist announced not to tour the Next Album, although i doubt they can stand away from Stages;). Theve toured 18 Months actual, so an pause is normal i think, so we will see.
Nice geeked Watch Lady, and greets to your Purrfurr, lovely one.
Stay healthy
NWA Bavaria North
Try "Romanticide" from the Wacken concert, for something a.little harder. One of my favorites
If the music doesnt get you in the feels and emotional .. watching your reaction will .. love it ❤❤❤ music is such a rollercoaster right ?? Lol
Awee thank you!
The hole concert is phenomenal, theirs not a bad song, start at the beginning (dark chest of wonders ) ls the opener. Great reaction, more please 😊😊
You've barely scratched the surface of this band!!
This performance is pure beauty!!!
Must listen to are the big episodic songs
Poet and the pendulum
Song of myself
Greatest show on earth
You will not go wrong with anything from this concert, let alone the other shows. The opener, "Dark Chest of Wonders" is one of the greatest openers ever!! Song of Myself from this concert is sheer gold!!!
'The Poet and the Pendulum' should make it onto your reaction list.
Great reaction and love the enthusiasm , always a special moment ♥ when I see other people having the same feelings and emotions and it reminds me the first time I heard this version and how these emotions ravaged through my body.
Keep it up and can't wait to see your next Nightwish reaction!
PS. One of my favourite songs is: The greatest Show on Earth (Tampere edition or Wembley edition) but you might want to hold off on that one for later reactions but if you do please read up on what the song is inspired upon.
Aweee thank you!!!
Song of Myself Is my all time favorite Nightwish song, and the Wacken Open Air performance is my favorite version. It, and Dead Boys Poem Live at Buenos Aires are my two favorite (but wildly different) performances from Floor!
"I'd take you away
Castaway on a lonely day
Bosom for a teary cheek
My song can but borrow your grace"
I love those lines.
The discovery continues.Yay! Keep it up,Ash. We'll be here with you.
Thank you! Will do!
"is there anything Floor cant sing?" just wait until you go down the rabbit holes of ReVamp, After Forever and her solo stuff.
Also hope you enjoyed seeing Lorna Shore!
its nice to see you continuing your Nightwish journey, your reactions are great!
Welcome to the nightwish army…..you’re in for an absolutely AMAZING ride!!!!
Hi there Ashley. Nice reaction and as stated by so many allready, no bad songs and so many favs.
Got into Nightwish because of Floor's participation in a Dutch show, Beste Zangers ( best or dearest singers) and have seen her at one of her first soloshows, just before Covid kicked in. She blew me and the total venue away. Then had to wait for 2 years, 3 times postponing the Amstedam gig. But then, total awe.
You did Phantom of the Opera with Tarja, first singer. Also get a look at that one they performed in Amsterdam, for the first time in 17 years, mindblowing and jawdropping.
Greetings from The Netherlands
This band is capable of everything and more!
you always look amazing Ash great video ❤
Thank you so much!!
hello again beautiful. great song and choice
Elllllllo!
Welcome to the Nightwish army you’re going to see some amazing people giving you an incredible amount of Nightwish info. Your friend from Oregon, Mike.
Also the fact that she’d only been with the band for only 9 months before this performance is just amazing ,she was the perfect choice imo also the last ride from this concert is legit AF! 🙌🏼🤘🏻
Floor said in an interview that she would NOT try to sing french rap.....
German rap..no problem.
Wow!!
I'm loving your reactions! Thanks for sharing them. In response to your question: Absolutely! "Song of Myself" from this concert is magnificent. As many have said, I find it impossible to choose a favorite Nightwish song, but "Song of Myself" is my favorite performance from Wacken 2013.
Thank you!
Yes, I highly recommend attending a concert. I've seen them live 3 times, once with each singer. Technically I've been to 4 concerts, but my first with Annette saw the show get cancelled because of Anette being "sick". They were touring with Sonata Arctica at the time, so they took over the lead spot which was also awesome. (Early Sonata ranks in my top 5 bands right along with Nightwish.) While I'm glad to see Nightwish really growing in popularity due to all these reaction videos, as fans, we really are a special niche. The concerts are filled with just amazing and wonderful people. You can go to a show alone and leave with a bunch of new friends. It's such a great community.
More Nightwish and more Lorna 8) is what i´m here for ...
Sad for you, Nightwish just visited your Country AND they published that there will be no tour for the next album, coming out this year late ...
but ey, you have got
-Wacken 2013
-Wembley and Tampere 2015
-Buenos Aires 2018
-2022 Two open Airs, Pink Pop (i guess) and Hellfest
and the virtual concerts with Floor (all from above 2013)
for Tarja all live stuff until 2005 "End of an Era"
Anette :2007-2012 i prefer the album stuff (and not just me)
" Ever Dream " is the sixth single by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish. Released as the first single from the band's fourth studio album, Century Child, it was the group's first single in two years, following " Deep Silent Complete " in 2000.
The song is more operatic in nature than later works and the music itself is more on the heavy metal side. It is still played live since 2002 until today. "Ever Dream" was certified with Gold Disc in Finland two days after its release, with more than 5,000 copies sold, and later received Platinum Disc with more than 10,000 copies sold.
A world I got into three years ago. Still enthralled by this band.
This whole entire show is just amazing, every single song, the energy is insane. I think you should check out Song of myself from this same show. It is one of my personal favorites.
Nightwish played at a goth festival in Germany called "Mera Luna" a week after Wacken in 2013. If you are into music, festivals are a great place to be introduced to new music.
She can sing everything. I'm looking forward to your reaction to her death growls ( ehem Yours Is An Empty Hope). I can't say I have a definitive favorite Nightwish song. Each one is my favorite depending on what mood I'm in. If I'm in an "F*ck The World" type of mood, then Yours Is An Empty Hope is my song of choice. If I'm feeling nostalgic, then there's there's Storytime and Dark Chest of Wonders.
IMHO, that's the genius of Tuomas' writing. He has something for every human emotion and beyond.
This concert from 2013 may be the best concert from any band , ever! Love Nightwish.
Absolutely have to do The Poet and the Pendulum.. it is Absolutely my favorite and is 13 and 1/2 minutes long. It's divided into parts is so awesome. And some awsome Marco singing..love all your videos Ash
Oh and it's such an emotional song they haven't played it live since late 2012..
@@keithsynnott9832 played last a few times in 2016.
Omg !!! I just love your enjoyment when Marko busts in on the mic ❤❤❤ floor is just awesome but those two together is just amazing ❤
I love your reactions!! Please keep doing what you're doing!! You've just barely scratched the surface of Nightwish, they are amazing.
Thank you! Will do!
Hi ! I stumbled across this quite by chance and got stuck straight away, because your emotions, which we can read on your face in every second of a song, are so charming and, above all, appropriate that you automatically put me in a better mood!
Thank you for your encouraging video and all the best for the next year!
Only 2 months to the concert in Kitee Finland. Cant wait..it`s the concert of a lifetime! Nice reaction. Thank you!
Greetings.
Well, I can honestly tell you that "Weak Fantasy" is my favorite Nightwish song.
According to Spotify, It was my #1 played song with over 1000 plays in 2022, and why not.... some days I found myself with that damn song on repeat and listening to it 3 to 4 times back to back before going on with my day.
It has dark, it has light, and as a musician myself, it has one of my favorite things...
a FULL sound!!
From the orchestral tracks, to the choirs, to the chunky guitars and even a bouzouki on the verse.
The studio version is the best to endulge the ears, in my opinion, but the performance in Tampere is an absolutely phenomenal sight for sore eyes, and definitely reaction worthy.
Hope to see it, no matter which one you choose.
Thank you for the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed.
😊❤️🤘🤘
Hii everyone!! Just as a headsup!!!
I will be going to see Lorna Shore here in a bit. And am not home.
Once I am tomorrow ill be able to reply to comments.
In the meantime tho. There appears to be a telegram bot impersonating me! It is NOT me 😂
Please report them!
Have a wonderfully timezone & keep being a badass!!!🤘🏻🔪❤️
Have a lovely evening 😊
Thank you for the heads up Miss Slashly. Could you post an example of this telegram bot that is impersonating you?
This would be helpful for your followers so we , (nor you) get victimized further.
For example, there is someone fraudulently claiming to be Floor Jansen on her fan page
This fraudster always thanks the victim for supporting "her" career and then asks the victim to send her (or him), a friend request.
Most of us who subscribe to Floor Jansen's fan page are now aware of this lunatic.
Those fvcking Telegram 'people has bothered commentators for quite a while already.
And somehow they manage to pick up male ones who has thrown a comment to some female' s reaction channel (?)
Thinking where in the world Telegram is practically THE platform to use, it don't have to be even a wild guess from where those muthafuckas are creeping through these wires and cables... 🙈💥🤘😅
"Weak Fantasy" live at Tampere 2015 next by this magical band though.
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙 💯
I've been able to see Nightwish twice when they have come to Melbourne, Australia. One time when Annette was the lead and the other when Floor was really new to the group.
Goosebumps again Ashley? ❤
YEP!!
@SlashleyReacts I get goosebumps every time I listen!! 🤗
This is my favorite song. I still cry over a hundred listens in.
To prove they don't make a bad song...this is actually my least favorite song but it still gives me goosebumps....lol
Oh really?!!?
After this reaction... you are officially drafted into the NW Army. Although I get the feeling you would have joined voluntarily. "Romanticide" next or "Song of Myself."
Thank you!!!
Nightwish is my top 3 favourite bands ever and they are at the top of my bucket-list of bands I must see live! We will have to wait a while now as they just recently announced they taking a break from touring for awhile! One of my favs that first got my attention from them was Slaying the Dreamer.
My trip down the rabbit hole started with Nightwish with Tarja all the way through to Floor.The caliber of musicians and singers in this genre is totally unmatched.
G'day Ash, I've just listened to all your Nightwish reactions and subscribed. I became an instant Nightwish fan when I picked up their album 'Once' that was with Tarja. I've only heard studio recordings with Annette but enjoyed them all the same. Then several years ago (before the spicy cough hit the planet) I pulled up Nightwish on RUclips and discovered Floor, the 6'1" angel-voiced valkyrie queen, my life is now complete. Looking forward to 'Storytime', a big thankyou from the land down under.😊
Favorite from this show: Song of Myself
Nightwish is a freakin force! Teamed with the most talented vocalist my ears have ever been blessed to hear. The Pinnacle of their crafts. Truly unrivaled!
You want to hear a song from Wacken 2013 that is a bit out of the ordinary? Then I would definitely like to recommend 'Last of the Wilds'. I attach the link.
ruclips.net/video/aAbe5sJDiUI/видео.html
Hi Kelsea. Was Floor doing a costume change during this song?
@@markclements7767 Yes, she had done that and had problems with the zipper of the top.
@@Kelsea-2002 Thanks for confirming, I had heard bits of that but it is good to know for sure 🙂
Great reaction to the band that has been my favorite for 25 years! Favorite song? They are all my favorites! LOL! Actually, Everdream is at the top of the list, and maybe Slaying the Dreamer is a close second, followed by The Greatest Show on Earth, but I'll stop there before end up listing every song they've done. 😁 It took me 21 years before I got to see them live in Albany, NY. It was well worth the wait! By far, the best concert I've ever attended, and I've been to quite a few since I started listening to metal in the mid-70s. Enjoy the journey! They will surprise you every time.
I personally found Nightwish in the beginning of the pandemic, and I was finally able to see them live in NYC in May of 2022. It was everything I could have hoped for. You might even want to delve into the opening band Beast in Black, also from the Finland area, and OMG what an experience. :)
Everything is about is said about this group but I want to say how I admire and love Jukka's drumming, his style and that double kicking ❤🥁🤘
This is my favorite performance of my favorite Nightwish song. It's the only one I learned on bass, guitar, and drums, though I'm certain I can't play it on drums anymore. Floor said on her channel that this was the hardest song to sing from before her time in the band because her voice borders on being "squeaky." Congrats on the channel doing so well.
I love your tea-pot laugh, it was so cute! so happy you're doing Nightwish!
Nightwish Army Alaska US Division checking in…one of my favorites from this concert is Song of Myself, also the concert opener Dark Chest of Wonders is amazing! Lovin’ your reactions!
HAHA! this was was amazing :D loved how you got into it! We call those chills "Floorgasms"
This is one of her best performances with Nightwish IMO
Great to see a fellow goth fall so fast for this amazing band. Certainly not an exhaustive list; but my Nightwish Essentials would be:
a. Seven Days to the Wolves
b. Storytime
c. Shoemaker
d. The Islander (Live at Tampere, the music video is worth watching too, though quite different to the live performance)
e. Poet and the Pendulum (Live at Wembley, I would recommend this after watching most of the others first and don't watch without reading up a bit about the split with Tarja, as this song was a response to that series of events)
f. Romanticide
g. High Hopes (Pink Floyd cover, this is from way back and is exclusively a Marko performance)
h. The Greatest Show on Earth (Live at Tampere, leave this for last, as IMO it's their crowning achievment to date)
i. and as an aside, there's a very good documentary titled "Please Learn the setlist in 48 hours"; about how Floor was brought on to replace Anette Olzon mid-tour back in 2012. It is all filmed on the road with the band and shows a lot of really interesting insider perspectives. Last I checked you can watch it in it's entirety on RUclips.
LFG!!!
Nightwish has been around me since the beginning. I found them through a norwegian band called "the 3td and mortal". Tuomas is friends with some of the members there.
Song of myself and ghost River those are my faves from this concert.
‘Ghost River’ from this show.
Wow...I never thought about my favorite Nightwish song. There are so many good ones to choose from!
But if I had to choose a song, my personal favorite is Yours Is An Empty Hope, from the Nightwish Cruise. Yes, Nightwish has performed on a boat, on the ocean -- and what i love about this song is, you get to hear Floor _growl._ The first time I realized Floor was growling and not Marko, my mind was _blown._ I was like, "Wait, what...? That's _Floor_ growling?" And here's the thing about that song: I have a very good auditory sense about differentiations between frequencies, whether it's more than one voice, or even the same voice (for example, my uncle was dealing with stuffed sinuses over the weekend, and I knew he was just from the sound of his voice).
With Yours Is An Empty Hope, I knew it was Marko singing, and not Floor -- yet she still had the mic up to her mouth. And then I heard the auditory balance, the overall sound, and I caught the growling from Floor. I was in shock and awe that Floor could do something like growling, yet sound like a Greek Siren (the mythological creatures who could cause shipwrecks with just the beauty of their singing) elsewhere in the same song.
As for Ever Dream, I love this song because it's rare that at a bridge, you hear a duet between the drummer and a vocalist. And here, with Ever Dream, it illustrates the feeling of being in love, yet not having that love returned -- and Floor, along with Jukka (pronounced "yoo•ka"), the drummer, demonstrate this with frantic drumming from Jukka, along with the desperate vocals from Floor -- and then, Jukka kicks the tempo into another gear with the double kicks. As a rhythm junkie, Jukka is one of my favorite drummers of all time. And while Kai Hahto is good as a drummer, I love the more laid-back style of drumming from Jukka, not to mention the more emotional playing from Jukka. Plus, you can't go wrong by being nicknamed "The Pirate," lol. I just wish Jukka would come back and get back on the kit, since after this tour ended in 2013, he stepped down from drumming due to insomnia, which threatened his mental and physical health. While he's doing better, and has been for several years, I still miss that man on his kit, and hope he can come back.
