I was in a choir for a number of years. This song is like an agility course for a vocalist. Ascending and Descending staccato notes swapping out with lagoto phrases plus the breath control needed to pull this off. The song is a monster in sheep's clothing. It sounds easy until you try and make it work without tripping over your tongue.
Tuomas Holopainen actually started writing more difficult songs since he works with a vocalist with near unlimited capabilities... (and also because he knows that Floor loves a challenge to sink her teeth in, so to say...)
Troy Donockley is amazing. He's English and plays the Uilleann pipes, tin whistle, guitar, keyboards, bass guitar, pump organ, bouzouki, cittern, bodhrán, mandola, harmonium, aerophone and vocals. Something for your list: Jansen’s (solo-tour) slightly different version of “Nemo” live at “Avro/Tros Muziekcafé”: ruclips.net/video/sXzVhCTTJ2c/видео.html Btw. same musicians as in Beste Zangers (Marcel Fisser Band).
That was Floor at her brain-melting best - just incredible. Appreciate your insights on how she sets things up. Just shows that no matter your skill level, and her’s is planetary, you can never lose sight of proper technique. She is an absolute pro who takes nothing for granted. Loved it!
Oh my God! Crystal clear! Floor met every vocal and She sang the difficult sequences with lightness in unbelievable perfection. Awesome!! Troy is also perfect in playing the guitar und in supporting Floor the best way possible.
Welcome back Sam. The Nightwish Army has been missing your voice for some time now. Glad to see you in good health and once again giving your analysis of The Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and her Brother Troy aka the Bard. Stay Safe and Healthy... Peace out
The gitarist is Nightwish’ full member and multi instrumentalist Troy Donockley. Troy is British and was decades Nightwish frequently returning guest musician on studio albums and at live concerts. He entered the band almost at the same time Floor became a full member shortly after Wacken Open Air festival 2013.
I don't know if you've ever done it but you should react to Nightwish covering High Hopes. Marco is the vocalist in this one and he's just as brilliant as always.
He plays in Nightwish. What does he play? Yes. I think if you give him anything that makes a sound he can make a song of it. And I think only Toumas could use a ulian pipe (sorry if I wrote it wrong) in a metal band and make it sound amazing.
A number of lines in this song are a callback to Élan off the previous album. For example: Come, surf the clouds , race the dark. It feeds from the runs undone Meet me where the cliff greets the sea Reminds me a bit of the Beatles' "Glass Onion". I've told you 'bout the fool on the hill, I tell you man he's standing there still.
Troy, who is from your part of the world is an amazing multi-instrumentalist and singer backing the Queen Floor. :) Thomas is having fun writing as complicated lyrics as possible for Floor to experiment with her vocals, which is a passion of hers :)
Good to see you back with some serious Nightwish stuff. You might consider to do this once more as a double session, starting with the original How is the Heart from the new Human Nature - and then the acoustic version - to dive into yhe tricks Floor uses in the acoustic version to match the studio version. That's quite impressive, clever and just shows how damn good a pro she is. I agree with Troy on the guitar that Floor's voice are Stratospheric, as he calls it in different interviews. Troy is also a brilliant singer by the way, also doing lead singer like Marco in different Nightwish songs. Great reaction and great to see you doing some Nightwish again - they will never disappoint you 🤘🤘🤘

You need to understand that on this whole album, Tuomas is hurling vocal challenges at Floor. She has said that some of the songs are going to be really hard to sing live. But if she is anything like this at Wembley Arena in December (I suspect covid will rain it off - grr) I will be more than happy.
Oh, where are your mugs! Ok, they arrived 😅. It's my birthday 🎂. I turned to ...7. This is a very beautiful and emotional performance. The guitarist is Nightwish's multi-instrumentalist Troy Donockley from Cumbria. How on Earth you don't know him by now? The ending of this just phenomenal. All of our glasses are broke!
Troy's singing never gets enough praise, in a lot of the Big Tunes by Nightwish people react to he's singing backing vocals with Marko together, but people never notice. Here some a nice example of how good Troy really is.
Make sure you catch the studio version ( music video) of this song too, you'll get treated to the really low base vocals of Marco, and harmonies between the three singers.
@@robbo8013 I am not 100% there sounds like there is an accent or inflection to the tone that screams Marco. Hopefully someone who is the professional can review and say for certain hehe ;)
Nightwish! Yeaaaaah! I 🤘🤘🤘🤘 it is a beautiful song and this version is so impressive! Floor and Troy excellent as expected! Please do more Nightwish! Yours is an empty hope would be nice 😃. PS 1: Dear flowers stop scaring Sam 🤣 PS 2: I am still hoping we will see something Halloween-y from VoicePlay
@@SSTVocalCoach Hi! Please feature KATRINA VELARDE - OH HOLY NIGHT BY MARIAH CAREY (LIVE WHISTLE). This is raw, sitting in a room just holding only a cellphone while singing then BOOM! So talented! A MUST-SEE. A less than 2 minutes video but will SURELY BLOW YOUR MIND! 😄🥰
I like your reaction and subscribed to see more of your reactions. Floor is one of the most versatile singers I know of. There's a 2nd song they played at planet rock live, Nemo. As you've already reacted to BABYMETAL I'd like to see a reaction to another japanese band called Wagakki Band. This is a metal/rock band with modern and traditional instruments. Their singer Yuko Suzuhana is a shigin master (poetry recital) and vocalist. All of their songs are good and different from each other. I'd recommend 焔 (Homura) + 暁ノ糸 (Akatsuki no Ito) / 1st JAPAN Tour 2015 Hibiya Yagai Ongakudo. These are two songs whereas the first one is only instrumental and second one is with vocals.
Haha a Temperance ad played, I was just watching them and also their old vocalist #Chiara_Tricarico who is like #Sharon_den_Adel with more chest voice. YT is finding the right stuff to sell.
Пелагея Please react to Pelageya (Пелагея - Ой, то не Вечер - Sochi 2014). Пелагея - Рано-рано (Pelageya - Early-early). 2008. Pelageya - Canção do Mar. She is amazing! What a voice!!
Of course Nightwish gets requested highly, who do you think you're dealing with? ;-) Let me suggest once more (not impatiently, just don't want this to fall off the radar) that you do the song "First Burn" by 4 actors who played Eliza in off-Broadway Hamilton productions, with Alex Lacamore on piano. The vocals are stunning. ruclips.net/video/r2ys-AimNbE/видео.html
I love your reactions :( & Could you please react to BTS "Boy With Luv" (the live performance of course) they do really really good at singing with doing a choreography with a lot of Jumps & Movement I think you would be impressed, especially Jungkooks adlib at the ending while he is jumping. I recommend watching the performances from SBS, Music Bank(KBS), & Show Music core because you can hear there voices more clearly
They've just finished their second album. You should listen to their first, Sam. It's self-titled. If you listen to it, you'll hear clues as to the sound of Nightwish on HUMAN :||: NATURE. It's like a prelude.
Nope, mix sounds perfect to me Sam. A lot of people do not realise that that are R and L speakers in headphones/earphones, and if worn the wrong way round the stereo soundstage is reversed, and audio/visual stimuli will be confused. I am not saying you have done this, just making a point that might make other people realise the situation.
The way Troy looks at Floor at the end of the song always make me smile
Yep, he just got confirmed that Floor's voice is Stratospheric as he calls it on several occasions 👍🤘
That is Troy going: 'Okay, I forgot my earplugs, left eardrum is gone again, thanks Floor.' 😉
@@hermenw.huiskamp8555 No doubt! 😅

Second verse is Tuomas tribute to Floor and Hannes her husband. And their daughter Freja.
The goddess who came from another universe to Earth with her golden voice, to bring joy, and makes us all happy...
This version is THE best version, in my humble opinion. Can't listen without tears running down my cheeks.
Oh my God! Crystal clear! Floor met every vocal and She sang the difficult sequences with lightness in unbelievable perfection. Awesome!! Troy is also perfect in playing the guitar und in supporting Floor the best way possible.

Both Floor and Troy are so good...
In case of emergency Floor Jansen's voice can be used as alarm clock, car alarm, air raid siren or fog horn.
🤣 I’m not a 100% sure that that is a compliment 😂 although I’m pretty sure it is meant as one 😀
And baby soother.
No, you can't. Those devices are meant to make people aware of something. With Floor, people would stop whatever they're doing to listen...
9:13 is the best moment I think :) that is the moment when your body finds out that Floor is more important than a water :D :D :D
Troy Donockley (1964) born in Cumbria. Lets say you and him have more in common than the average Londoner. 😉
I couldn't have said it better than you :)

Or basically everything from the Ayreon Universe concert
@@TheLsgaming Agreed, "Everybody Dies" live is a treat. But you know, the shock factor reacting to a song with like TWELVE singers would be fun.

I would like to third this motion!
Yes PLEASE do some Ayreon. The Day the World Breaks Down is a great launchpad.
Yeah you are back Sam!
Troy !!😆 . You would be surprised at what he can do , he’s a genius, I guess that’s why he is part of the greatest band in the world, Nighwish 😎🤘👍

So very beautiful.

@@SSTVocalCoach Glad to have you back reacting to NW Sam! so much more great music to experience with NW. cheers
I would love to see Tuomas rendition of The game Skyrim theme song with Floor singing
You need to understand that on this whole album, Tuomas is hurling vocal challenges at Floor. She has said that some of the songs are going to be really hard to sing live. But if she is anything like this at Wembley Arena in December (I suspect covid will rain it off - grr) I will be more than happy.
you MUST watch : Floor Jansen Bridle Passion LIVE muziekcafé
Oh, where are your mugs! Ok, they arrived 😅. It's my birthday 🎂. I turned to ...7. This is a very beautiful and emotional performance. The guitarist is Nightwish's multi-instrumentalist Troy Donockley from Cumbria. How on Earth you don't know him by now? The ending of this just phenomenal. All of our glasses are broke!
A big like, mate. Both fun and educational vid. Cheerz
Troy's singing never gets enough praise, in a lot of the Big Tunes by Nightwish people react to he's singing backing vocals with Marko together, but people never notice. Here some a nice example of how good Troy really is.
Agree 1000%. Not only that, he can play just about any instrument and does all of it brilliantly.
troy has a wee ringing in his left ear since this session .😁
Troy's wikipedia page - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_Donockley
Kiitos. Checks out The Last Sled by Tuomas Holopainen and Wife Johanna Kurkela. FI.
Yep Troy Donockley.
That end was fun :D
I like this song on New Album. But I do perfer & Love this Stripped down version of this Song with Troy & Floor. 👋👋👋👋😊
Make sure you catch the studio version ( music video) of this song too, you'll get treated to the really low base vocals of Marco, and harmonies between the three singers.
Are you sure it’s Marco doing the low base vocals? Ihave the impression its Troy, have heard him a few times more doing some low vocals.
@@robbo8013 I am not 100% there sounds like there is an accent or inflection to the tone that screams Marco. Hopefully someone who is the professional can review and say for certain hehe ;)
Nightwish! Yeaaaaah! I 🤘🤘🤘🤘 it is a beautiful song and this version is so impressive! Floor and Troy excellent as expected! Please do more Nightwish! Yours is an empty hope would be nice 😃.
PS 1: Dear flowers stop scaring Sam 🤣
PS 2: I am still hoping we will see something Halloween-y from VoicePlay
And baby Groot mug! Always happy to see baby Groot 🤣
Check out Nightwish's cover of High Hopes by Pink Floyd, Marko kills it :P
I always react that way, with flowers and plants that sneak up from behind ...
😂😂
@@SSTVocalCoach Hi! Please feature KATRINA VELARDE - OH HOLY NIGHT BY MARIAH CAREY (LIVE WHISTLE). This is raw, sitting in a room just holding only a cellphone while singing then BOOM! So talented! A MUST-SEE. A less than 2 minutes video but will SURELY BLOW YOUR MIND! 😄🥰
I like your reaction and subscribed to see more of your reactions.
Floor is one of the most versatile singers I know of. There's a 2nd song they played at planet rock live, Nemo.
As you've already reacted to BABYMETAL I'd like to see a reaction to another japanese band called Wagakki Band. This is a metal/rock band with modern and traditional instruments. Their singer Yuko Suzuhana is a shigin master (poetry recital) and vocalist. All of their songs are good and different from each other. I'd recommend 焔 (Homura) + 暁ノ糸 (Akatsuki no Ito) / 1st JAPAN Tour 2015 Hibiya Yagai Ongakudo. These are two songs whereas the first one is only instrumental and second one is with vocals.
Haha a Temperance ad played, I was just watching them and also their old vocalist #Chiara_Tricarico who is like #Sharon_den_Adel with more chest voice. YT is finding the right stuff to sell.
Savatage 'when the Crowds are Gone
09:33 RIP earphones :)
❤
Troy doesn't even play guitar in the band. He's a pipes man.
He also plays guitar, for instance greatest show on earth in wembley. I wouldn‘t be surprised seeing him in the drums sometime...
@@noidicyt Ah! Haven't seen that yet. Thank you.
🙏🏻❤️
Пелагея
Please react to Pelageya (Пелагея - Ой, то не Вечер - Sochi 2014).
Пелагея - Рано-рано (Pelageya - Early-early). 2008.
Pelageya - Canção do Mar.
She is amazing! What a voice!!
Of course Nightwish gets requested highly, who do you think you're dealing with? ;-) Let me suggest once more (not impatiently, just don't want this to fall off the radar) that you do the song "First Burn" by 4 actors who played Eliza in off-Broadway Hamilton productions, with Alex Lacamore on piano. The vocals are stunning. ruclips.net/video/r2ys-AimNbE/видео.html
I wonder if wearing a gardigan would improve singing voice? 😀
I'll subscribe till you do that.
I love your reactions :( & Could you please react to BTS "Boy With Luv" (the live performance of course) they do really really good at singing with doing a choreography with a lot of Jumps & Movement I think you would be impressed, especially Jungkooks adlib at the ending while he is jumping. I recommend watching the performances from SBS, Music Bank(KBS), & Show Music core because you can hear there voices more clearly
more Troy?
listen AURI
They've just finished their second album. You should listen to their first, Sam. It's self-titled. If you listen to it, you'll hear clues as to the sound of Nightwish on HUMAN :||: NATURE. It's like a prelude.
Are you sure you’ve plugged the earphones in correctly? In my earphones Troy is to the left as he should be...
Hmmm no idea? It’s just iem’s plugged directly into an iPad? Who knows 😂😂
The only thing I hate about this video (the original, not your react), is how loud the Planet Rock intro is haha
Nope, mix sounds perfect to me Sam. A lot of people do not realise that that are R and L speakers in headphones/earphones, and if worn the wrong way round the stereo soundstage is reversed, and audio/visual stimuli will be confused. I am not saying you have done this, just making a point that might make other people realise the situation.
I really wonder how mediocre would this sound if they made pitch correction on this recording....
Terrible pauses
boringgggggggggggggggggggg
