Lyrics subtitles by Pia Vásquez
I am 63 years old. Grew up with Stones, Uriah Heep, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, etc, etc,.......I was spoiled. So good!! But Nightwish........is next level.
Comparing those bands to Nightwish is like comparing a child drawing to Rembrandt's paintings.
same age same thoughts🤘
Sometimes it's about getting to know the right artist / band at the right time
@@arthurlenko9598All different genres not even fair comparisons. With that logic, we could say the Stones and Floyd aren't close to as good as the blues artists and others that they stole or were inspired from.
@@undericesinger Different genres ? its not like comparing 18th century orchestra music to heavy metal.its rock compared to rock, thou slightly different.
This woman is a gift to humanity.
That's for sure!
I agree. She's like from another dimension
Truer words have never been spoken my friend.
Holy true!!!
I actually felt it when I read this.
Since my mother died I think about to take off my life every day and listen to this song several times, the "Mother and Father" verses are the only things that keep me holding on.
Hold on, brother. ❤️
I hope you are doing better since the moment u leave the comment. Sone pains feel so overwhelming that it can look like it never goes away. Hurting loss of love one, family member, or close person, usually pain dont actually fully go away. It just changes form. It is possible and i think that quite natural that u kinda learn to live with it. One person said,who had lost her child, that pain is going to stay with u forever, but it is "evolving" for such form that u van learn to cope with it. She said, since it was more than 10 years ago when that happen to her, that her pain was that time in such form that it kinda represented her child, and she said she dont want it ever go away, as it was representing her child, and her love towards him.
I dont know your situation. I just want to share that, hoping that some day somebody can see it, and possibly help in difficulty moment at least very little, its still worth it.
All the best for you and strenght❤
If Toumas had never written any other song besides this one I would still count him a genius.
My dad passed away 04/15/2022 i can't help feeling this song so much, masterpiece. Floor is amazing on stage. RIP dad, forever bleeding for your loss
She is not singing, her soul is singing
i would buy every Nightwish album again if they re-recorded them all with Floor - her voice and energy is truly perfect ❤
Oh, that would be great. I definitely would, too.
100% yes!!!!!
I agree with you! Totally! 🙌🏻
I made a video about nightwish and uploaded it on my channel. you guys can check it now and subscribe please.

I just found out 2 days ago that she is their current singer now, because I hadn’t checked out nightwish in a while, was never a fan of Annette. But I got a “hankering” to listen to some oldies from Tarja & discovered this, & holy shit I never thought I’d like Floor even more than Tarja. She sings with such feeling & seems to have brought the band back to life! I’m in love♥️
I believe Tuomas Holopainen is our Beethoven or Mozart.
The man makes absolutely beautiful music.
I agree!
I’d have gone for Wagner, myself. Nightwish is what Wagner would have been reaching for.
Agree . .
That's 100% true. We can say Toumas enters in that category. it's simple a music genius.
I wholeheartedly agree!
Notice how it's written like a piece of Classical music? Written in several movements, the parts are in different tempos. I grew up on both rock and classical music, played piano and keyboard. I can assure you that Tuomas is a modern day genius musically. Floor is a great singer whose vocal range and delivery is on point. The musicians? Outstanding.
They are not the only ones doing that...
What do you think about this? Hope you'll enjoy it

@@stormbringer2882 they use the same tools as nightwish (without a good singer) but that's about it. i don't know if they are good but after listening nightwish, they seem really bad.
@@namnami4099 You dont know if they are good? 108 time signature changes are good enough for you? Well... they don't have Floor in the band and that's a real pitty, ha ha. peace bro

Floor shows why she is the best metal singer an Tuomas is simply a genius. How can he write som many imcredible songs?
yes!! so great!!!
He must be from another Space
This is Tuomas. Simply a genious ;)
He clearly has an amazing talent, but I think that comes with some serious tradeoffs.
I mean, this song is his allegorical suicide.
I couldn't agree more!💕
I can't think of any other band that can make you cry and headbang in a single song.
Is it normal to have this much emotion hearing and watching Nightwish for the first time?! Wowza!
it is. normal even if it brings tears to your eyes,
Yeah, when you are able to feel. Only numb people couldn't feel anything when they are listen to Nightwish
I was lucky enough to be at this concert. I cried with tears of pure emotion.
I'm jaleous
Wow yas
Hope to see them one day too
Cherish the memory 💙
yesss
never have I envied someone so much
I cannot wait to see them hopefully soon.
Everybody talking about floors Voice But How could you ignore Marcos Voice, who has been through all three singers and made a great job
cus he aint shit to Floor lmao
Yes I love Marcos vocals! One thing I love about Nightwish is the mixture of female and male vocals. It adds a lot to the music.
I feel that Tuomas is the brain, Marko the heart and Floor the soul
Great point! And I respect him so much cause I love his voice so damn much...my favorite song with him is high hopes....such a great song with his awesome voice!!
@@flparg2 Tuomas is the brain...the heart and the voice in a way...cause he creates it all...I can feel what this man is feeling just by his music...that makes him the mastermind of it all...offcourse my most respect to Marco and Floor cause they nail all the songs! :) Nightwish in one word....perfection
It took me 57 years to find Nightwish. Im so glad i did. I tear up eveytime i listen to this. Its so good.
I also 57years think that ,too.
floor is the best vocalist in the galaxy!!
You're lucky , it took me 65 years but boy am I glad I did!
Well, considering that Nightwish was formed in 1996, It actually took you 22 years to discover them.
@@TheAnswer_13 lol ok
@@TheAnswer_13 but maybe i was just waiting for them to come along
Best Front Woman....Ever....in any band.
Feel sorry for the rest of the world.
They don't know what they are missing!🙂
You're right Mr Crowley!!!!!!!
True!!!!!!!
Cheers for them.
Exactly this band just deserves much more than what it is now honestly their songs and specially this one are somethings really unique that i have never heard befor
The same can be said to you of what you're missing of what the rest of the world has.
This is not just a simple song... it's a Symphonic Artwork... Tuomas is an absolute genius and Floor is simply a force of nature, powerful and engaging... both as a singer and as a performer... her voice strikes the soul!!! Nightwish absolutely fantastic!!! 🤘🖤🤘💥
One of the most complex, deep and beautiful songs ever written in history of mankind.
How the hell did I overlook this??!! Always took Floor Jansen as a hard-core rocker chick, but her voice in the Pacific part..... totally blew me away!! I had to roll back to hear it again!!! Love this woman!!!! THANK YOU NIGHTWISH!!!!!
I love hearing Thomas sing at the end of this song. It's like they're words he wanted to hear, so, lacking other voices, he wrote them to himself. And Floor sings this so kindly, empathic, angry, hurt, then compassionate. The way the others come up to check on Tuomas, to distract him like good brothers would. The drummer working away for such a long song. I'm in love with them all.
Good guess but those are the words his mother said to him when he went back home after firing Tarja
@@ronswasonbutcuter4474 wow. Is there a source to it?
@@RangelGabrielI am lazy to find it from google or some interview or from some book. But that is what Tuomas himself had said about this song, story behind it, and about details in different parts of the song. He was so broken that time that he had to stay mom and dads home. In there his mother try to help him and be there for him. It is true story.
sometimes when I think about it, I feel Floor being in Nightwish is the utmost wonderful blessing this world has ever witnessed...
This is beautiful. This is art. This is music. This is life.
Well said
“Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the Universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything. It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good and just and beautiful.”
― Plato
Thanks for this.🤗
the blue lighting somehow makes Floor look more epic than she already is
Seeing Tuomas smile after such a dark period in his mind almost brings a tear to my eye
Yeah, i thought i am a tough guy... until i heard Nightwish with Floor Jansen. Now i sob like a whelp, everytime i hear this.
This is not a song, it is a journey.. An experience.. This made me feel so many things! I got tears in my eyes watching this not even knowing why, let alone if I were actually there.. I would have cried like a baby I think from the pure emotion emenated here
In my view, for what it’s worth, this is Floor’s career best performance of Tuomas’ magnum opus. In some respects it is a pity that events happened which lead to its creation. But, what a masterpiece at every level.
Tuomas is a freakin Mastermind.
he could write epic music scores for movies
@@SamuraiTacos1 I would give so much to see him collaborate with Howard Shore. The worlds wouldn't even be able to stand up against such epicness...
he is The MAESTRO.. what a genius..
The last part of this song is just too much for me. I tear up everytime, it's so so unbelievable beautiful.
pacific part 3 for me
Yes, both Pacific Pt 3 and Mother and Father Pt 5 do that to me too.
An absolute privilege to play with my band and open for Nightwish in Auckland in 2013.
As someone who's parents are deceased, I can't get past 'Mother and Father' without tears...
I've actually tried..fail every time..
sending you love
My parents are dead but part 5 breaks me up because my first born son recently passed from cancer. I can't make it though part 5.
@@jamesanderson5268 Oh shit, I'm trying to understand what happened to you but I guess nobody can understand it without experience it itself. So enjoy this song to honour your son and every tear will be a statement for the people wich are important to us all. I hope I will never have this experience with my daughter. This is something parents should never live to see.
Same.
Floor is everything that nightwish ever needed!
There is no doubt. And I was a real Tarja fan. But one week after recording the 2013 show in Wacken I heard them in my hometown at the Mera Luna Festival and I kicked Tarja off her throne and sat Floor on it. More words are unnecessary.
So what???? Tuomas don't explore floor's voice, he's wasting it, there's not a single song made for floor with the power of phantom love score or pendulum and the poet
Indeed, she can sing Tarja and Annette songs, and better
@@victorgalvan4649 shoemaker !
@@mylife3350 Yes! Floor's "Laudato Si" is something indescribable!!
When u sing that good even your bandmates are amazed
The way Floor hits the high notes in part 3 is just incredible. Better than most singers in studio recordings.
Tuomas must have balls of the size of the Moon each to write something so personal for public.
I used to be an atheist. Now I know that God is a Dutch woman, 6 feet tall with a voice like no other.
Floorism is the best religion.
sonicshroom A reading from the gospel according to Toumas “where has all the feelings gone? Why has all the laughter ceased.....”
Yah, Floor and Tarja are great blessing..hoping Tuomas is appreciative of both
Now this is a religion I can get behind!
Nightwishism - what a great name for a religion.
The best Nightwish song!! 2020 anyone still hear this?
Here!
Also here!
once or twice a week
Here \m/
Por supuesto!
That "Thank you" at the end was soo sad!
after "mother and father" part, i always need to go and hug my mom :.) i love you my beautiful old queen
this may very well be one of the best songs ever composed, holy shit
Idk why I was sleeping on this band for so long
I think Tarja is a great singer and Annette was a really good singer. I also give props to Annette for being the original singer of this masterpiece of a song. But damn it just seems like Floor descended from heaven specifically just to sing this song. I don't think I've ever heard anything so beautiful in all my years listening to Heavy Metal music.
Floor Jansen is arguably the best metal singer ever in my honest opinion. Her versatility is second to none. She has great choreography phenomenal stage presence and the Fantastic ability to bring all old Nightwish songs to life! Happy listening my friend!
F
you can give Tarja the fact she was THE inspiration for this whole generation of fenomenal singers. But Floor is truly something else
Oh yes, the Goddess of all Metal huh? Y'all bash Anette for being off key, and not even hearing it with this one. Listen to the chorus 3:50-4:40.. that is so false its not funny. Also, it was made for Anette, not the fakery of this one. Perhaps the day she puts some real emotions into this song, we can talk about it. But until then, Anette reigns supreme on DPP and Imaginaerum songs.
@@michaelvedal1907 lol if that's bad for you i don't know what would satisfy you XD
Watching this brings tears to my eyes, I'm a 66-year-old male, why didn't hey have music this glorious when I was young? Floor is a goddess.
Hey Jonathan you're never to old to cry when you're listening to a brilliant song with a god-like voice. :-)
I'm 73 and I agree
You grew up with such amazing stuff. You're my parents generation, and I love listening to The Doors, Joe Clapton and all that stuff. Every period has its gems, in "my time" they are mostly hidden, while it was all over the place when you guys were young and rocking. Be glad! :)
@@waschkarte3989 oh, I am but nightwish and floor definitely take it to a new level
Don't worry, you're still young buddy. Enjoy the music that the world gives you. I for one discovered metal and good music much later in my life and also wished I had done so much earlier, but learned to go with the flow and take the beauty in as they come :) \m/
11:08 Floor always manages to bring tears in my eyes at that part. It's like the texture of her voice connects directly with my mind and nerves. It's unexplainable. Her voice turns text and music straight into emotions. No other singer has ever achieved that. I've listened to countless good live performances, but getting to the point of being unable to stop tears... that happens only with Floor. This woman is a GODDESS!
I think that for Tuomas, the most precious possesions are his parents. Mother and Father is an extraordinary composition.
Nightwish never had a bad Vocalist before, Tarja, Anette and Floor are all amazing. Hell! Even Marco is great.
When it's better than the original... you know you have a great singer.
amen to that brother.
Nightwish is pure european 🤗
@@ralfmeyer9086 galacktic
I dunno, the studio version with Anette is pretty hard to beat. But she definitely struggled with this song live..
One of the best songs ever made!
Beautiful
I tried to watch the live version with Annette, but I was unable to finish it; I needed it to switch to this version. Annette is a good singer, but Floor is a goddess.
Annette's version is decent, but floors version hits the stratosphere!
I just checked out the original album version of this song. The vocals are clean, accurate, and beautiful. But here, Floor brings so much more nuance and emotion, employing her array of technique to breathe new life into the song. The "Pacific" section is absolutely stunning! Her phrasing and vocal formant shaping is spot on, and she's allowing space for the cello to carry the song in this delicate passage. She thins out her voice in just the right places to create a gentle sensitivity that's like a warm embrace for your brain stem. Then moving to the lower register she brings a resonance and power that is deeply moving. She's found the distinction between singing the notes and singing the music, and it shows. Tuomas appears to notice this (his expression at 5:42 suggests that he's feeling it big time). To write such an amazing song is an accomplishment in itself, but to have it sung so beautifully must feel like a true gift. It certainly is a gift for us!
Not to rain on your parade here, but no, she just made it hers. Floor has excellent power over her voice, but its not hard to hear that she lacks something the original had. The raw passion, the soul and the emotion of "living" the song. Floor performs it to pitch perfection yes, but lacking the essential things that is supposed to make you feel it, it comes off as merely a performance.
The song wasn't made for Floor at all, and they chose to change it to make it more "Floor"ish if you will. That is all well and good, but it still lacks the essentials. Sorry, but that is a fact. Other than that, of course, its a solid performance.
@@michaelvedal1907 Of course Floor's version is a performance, and it will always be different than the original as sung by a completely different person. While "living the song" seems more like Tuomas's domain than anyone's, I think Floor brought a lot of emotion to her version with her vocal inflection choices. But your milage may vary, and that's okay.
While it is natural to compare one vocalist to another when they've been part of the same band, I think each of them will reach some of us more than others, possibly on different tracks. Many fans seem to want to approach this from a "Sammy vs. David Lee Roth" arch-rivalry perspective, but I think that while I do have my favorite Nightwish female vocalist, each one they've had brought something to the band throughout their evolution. That's worth celebrating. :) Cheers!
@@michaelvedal1907 Floor has plenty (I'd even say much more) passion and emotion in this song. Thus, she does not lack anything, especially not anything essential, in fact I'd say the song is finally living to its fullest potential. It wasn't changed at all, here it's actually performed closer to the studio original thanks to Floor's capabilities.
I’ve always wondered how Tuomas knew he was writing this song for Floor…………. Nah! I know he wrote it for her, she was always on his radar since they toured together, IMO…….
@@michaelvedal1907 the album version was real life. This is the retelling of it, the legend that gets told and passed on. Floor doesn't live it but she tells the story epically.
I have to admit that I love this version better than the audio version, even though it's good as well
The lighting etc add to the experience.
"Goodnight kiss for a child in time, Swaying blade my lullaby" I swear my soul just left my body.
you know its a dam good song when you do not want it to end.
Tuomas is a genius indeed. Write such beatiful lyrics and music.
Father and Mother part is so beatiful that makes me want to cry. Floor sings perfectly
Agree . . . Ever !
Yep
There are no words. I've never heard such a female voice.
Gábor Palancsa you are so right. This band is amazing. I like most of the songs, love how she head bangs with her hair!
Welcome to the Floor Jansen fanclub
I am so happy she is dutch :-)
She is the Dutch windmill as she head bangs🤟
@@petervantveen3986 Ik ook man !
There is one thing I like more than hear Floor singing! Watch her while she sings! Phenomenal!!!
Well said, my friend!
When she say " be still my Son, You're Home "
My heart Shakin, My Tears drop
A flashin image of my Mother trying to Comfort me, comes in my Mind..
Daymn tuomas You really are a Maestro,
His lyrics are So Deep 😢😢😢
The clarity in her voice is incredible. She is incredible. The song is incredible, as is the original.
that Tomas is just genius...but now..the whole band with Flor...just outstanding
I'm 63, grew up on CSNY, Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor. Not a "hard rock" or metal fan, but Nightwish is a group of MEGATALENTED individuals. Who could not appreciate that?
so young i am 93 !
i'm 18, grew up in a world of wrong but was saved by my mother. Music brings us together, showing us that we all are not completely different. My mother showed me everything from frank sanatra(know i spelled that worng ugh) to the cranberries and i have gone from there, landing myself here.
I'm 54 and here i am 😌
I’m a very relaxed person that never gets angry but I’m afraid my disbelief of people disliking this video could turn into rage.
People disliking are Tarja Minions
@@Harolddespui you mean Annette? Tarja never sand this song and this was composed after she left to express the depression he felt.
Floor and Tarja are very good friends in real life for decades.
Breath in.......Breath out.....let it go.....not worth the energy.....
You have issues bro..
This is one of the very few bands that their live stuff surpasses their studio stuff... I've got well over two hundred shows and forty-five years of being a music fan under my belt and I can count such bands on one hand....great stuff.
For one more, check X-Japan in 90'
@@jounipesonen3569 I will, thanks
@@jounipesonen3569 lol, I'm what some would say is "pretty old," being in my fifties. That said, I've seen a whole lot of music "genres" be born and die, some fail horribly and some stick around. I enjoy many different kinds of music from Folk, Country, and Blues...to R&B, Hip-Hop, Rap, Techno-Funk, on through Rock, Metal, Thrash, and everything in between. To me, this band just screams Queensryche (one of my very favorites), Savatage, Running Wild, but with the sophisticated flow and complexities of Angel, Yes, and Rush. A confusing plethora to some maybe, but I can hear a bit of all of them in what Nightwish does. Part of my opinion comes from around two hundred live shows I've seen during my life (a dying thing thanks to the internet and makes me sad for younger people that probably will never see a live performance). I'll probably spell it wrong, but going to Wakken once before I croak is way up on my bucket list. Nightwish, Kamelot, Evergrey, Epica, Sad Alice Said, and In This Moment are some of the "newer" bands that impress the hell out of me (even though a couple, like Kamelot, have been around for a looong time). Live concerts and accompanying stage shows were a huge part of the make-up of bands back in the day. Nightwish definitely rivals some of the best I've seen, yet I've never seen them live (and I'm jealous of those that have). I put them on the same level as KISS, Rush, Dio, Iron Maiden, and others of that ilk. Over three hours of pure "ass-kickery" that was worth going to even if you didn't like the music. I hope I can make a Nightwish show if they tour the United States. Anyway, sorry to be so long-winded, but I thank you for your response and suggestion. I'll definitely check em out, and more suggestions from yourself would be appreciated. "Word of mouth" is how I've been able to experience great bands and their music the majority of the time over the years...but, thanks again, and send a few more that you'd think are worthwhile (and by the way, those that think women can't be "heavy," and have no place in Metal, or any other genre, are out of their minds).
I don't think live music is going away any time soon. How else are the kids going to make any money?
@@ManinManchester
I agree with you. If bands don't tour they don't make any money. So lucky for us we will still be able to continue to see them live.
The tears...can't hold them back when the final part starts at 10.16. Damn this is out of this world. Tuomas my man you are the god of all music and all emotions!! RESPECT! Floor...RESPECT!!!
Thx for the likes...may not seem that much to some people but never had that much likes before! Give a like if your heart belongs to Nightwish! Best regards from Belgium and may they go on forever! Tuomas gives us music from beyond the heart! In the end we will always looovee youuu!
especially for a river of tears...... cause after listening at least 50 times in a few weeks I still break down . So touched by the combination of the music and the voices.
Same here. “The Pacific” and “Mother and Father” parts are incredibly beautiful.
This is a Masterpiece, cant hold myself from crying in the last chapter
me too . . .!!!
10 years after it was written, this song comes to its conclusion. Thank you, Floor!
Damn! This really is the "Bohemian Rhapsody" of Tuomas Holopainen, like Freddie Mercury's epic masterpiece. No one really knows excactly what both songs are about. Both tracks give us some clues, but no one really can tie them all together. A given is, that both of these epic pieces need epic end versitile singers like Freddie Mercury, and his female equivilent, Floor Jansen. "The Valkyrie".
If you google (or read the RUclips comments) you know what this dong is really about...... but it's very poetic......and the 3 min. reference is
brilliant....
exactly 3 minutes later.....
We do know. Its about Tuomas depression after Tarja left the band. He suffered a lot because of fans criticizing him from every direction
I agree totally.. This and Bohemian Rhapsody hit me deeply.. I swear this song is my life narrated in words..
The song says exactly what it's about though, just look up the lyrics. I mean--it even says the poet's name it can't get more blatant than that!
Find me another singer with the range, variety and power that Floor has. There is no one. She is one of a kind.
Floor is phenomenal, i agree. But come on she is not THE singer of all time. Sierra Boggess (the "real" singer in Phantom of the opera), Jessie J, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, and a lot more i cant think/know of.
Guillaume Feugueur you name some amazing singers yes, in their own genre, but none of them have the range and variety and ability to go from opera to metal not only in the same song but on same breath and make it look so easy. And what an amazing stage presence. She controls the crowd. I have been around a long time and she is the best I have ever seen.
@@claudiorabaglino6079 Lady Gaga can, probably Jessie J too. Beyonce is such a vocalist too.
And to be fair Phantom of the opera is .... not an opera, it's a musical. And if you look for the same kind of singer there was.. Tarja who is able to do whatever she wants with her voice. But she keeps doing more operatic cause she likes it (i prefer Floor style to be honest though)
@@guitop Celine Dion really ? Have you ever actually listened to Celine she has a horrible thin nasal tone and strains when she belts, extremely unpleasant to listen to - probably the most overrated diva of all time. Lady Gaga (not a soprano) is good and she could easily sing metal if desired but Floor already covered her song "Shallow" and Floor's expression & breath control was better than Gaga. I agree that Mariah & Whitney had better range and agility than Floor but then again Floor has more belting power than either of them (Mariah would have trouble cutting through the band if she was NIghtwish's frontwoman). Beyonce is a joke she's a singer turned into a twerker.
@@gencoserpen1260 Bashing Celine just because you don't like her voice is just retarded. She is definitely one of the greatest vocalists of all time and far from overrated. Only a few singers can control their voice as well as she does. Be objective. The timely question here, if any of the two, is have YOU actually listened to Celine, because your description doesn't fit.
Lady Gaga is almost unlistenable in my opinion and her music is a load of garbage. Lady Gaga could not do what Floor does.
I am 70 years old. This is about the most beautiful song I have heard. Why do I have tears in my eyes at the end?
The last part I just start thinking of my mother. Kinda hits me hard emotionally. Makes me wish I was a better person for her.
Why am I crying....... damn, it is amazing how emotions can pop-up in 1-2 seconds in parts of this song. I will so much enjoy Nightwish on November 26 in Amsterdam!
have fun. seen them yesterday :)
Lucky bastard! I don't have very many opportunities at all to see them in the US. Hope they'll come back next tour. It'll really suck if they don't.
Floor and Nightwish are the best thing I have ever seen! Expected much, delivered much much more. If you ever have the possibility to see them, please do. You won't regret!!!
For me, this is the best Nightwish song.
This and Ghost love score are Nightwish hymns
Oh my dear Holy God, this girl is a gift to NW. She continues to surprise me! NW has given us 2 former great singers, and now Floor completes the circle. We fans are truly spoiled by NW's phenomenal music and their singers interpretation of what is written & played. Never stop, ever!
I just discovered this band today and am completely blown away.
Phil mole where have you been for the last 20 years?
It’s a beautiful thing! Welcome!
god damn it this woman is something else isnt she
I keep thinking this to myself listening to her!
I know right? Floor Jansen is the total package!
Guess, how it feels to see her live on stage? My eyes were targeting Floor the entire show when I have been less than 15m away in front of her🤩. Such footage gives me the chance to watch the rest of the band 😋
Floors is always so good, but her delivery in the pacific part is just out of this world good. I'm so happy Nightwish and Floor found each other. Tuomas is a genius composer and they are all such great musicians. I was sad when Jukka Nevalainen had to quit, but Kai Hahto is just amazing! Gives just that lovely intensitity to the drumming. I wish Nightwish all the best!
We all miss Jukka :(
me too !!!
Jukka did not quit. He stepped aside due to health issues. He is handling the band finances.
I love The Pacific, it's my favorite part! :)
You have song writers and song writers but Toumas is a composer like you said. The man is a genius. Hell the entire band is simply great and Floor, what do you say I mean dam the woman can flat sing. I'm 61 years old and van't get enough of this band.
Holy frack. I can stop looking now. This is the best song, best band, best setting ever. I can die happy now...
How can a person create such an amazing song? He must not be human! And the singer must be an angel of music!
Great many things come from suicidal thoughts
This band is in sync, tight, vocals are off the charts. Musical scores are very advanced.
A masterpiece.....and Floor's vocals....gives me shivers!
I may be a baby on my NW journey, but maaaan, am I happy I'm on it 😍
Utterly brilliant, Floor is amazing, NightWish are amazing - those lyrics, what can I say 🤘🤘🤘
Who in their right mind would downvote this materpiece?
This is dramatic play,once again Tuomas shows his mastery,and Floor...o my god,amazing,is kind of a life journey this play,with end and
reborn,such an ocean of feelings,such is the scenery of the Poet's soul...
I never realized this was a song about Tuomas dying. Holy shit, it's a sad one.
Yeah I was today's years old when the lyric hits me
in an interview he said he had to kill himself in the song to survive in the real world... pretty sure it has something to do with the whole Tarja drama
@@TheORACLEOFDEATH this is his attempt to deal with the massive backlash he received from legions of Tarja fans, critics, the industry for publishing an letter accusing Tarja of being a greedy diva and not respecting the fans ( things he knew were not in her character) ..he really hurt her by this vindictive act and had the sky fall in on his head
Knowing the meaning behind the song, when Tuomas starts singing "try to save them all" with his eyes closed gets me emotional every time.
I love how the guitarist lives his dream in every second he is on stage, and I love the badass vocals from Marco Hietala and Floor Jansen. :D
I cry with this song.😭😭😭😭😭
Those songs performed by Floor are just kicking me out of depression so fast! It's unbelievable. This girl and her voice are magical! Tks God for sending this girl to us.
It kicked me out of a pretty nasty depression as well. Music has always been a very integral part of my life. But music now in America is just commercialized and mainstream. When I found Nightwish I was woken up to a completely new genre of music and have listened to several other European metal bands that I love! Thank God for Nightwish!
Guys I feel you.. Same here... Me as a European, I can say nightwish made my life way better in a way that depressions won't find grip in my mind anymore ✌️
I think Tomas never forget the last concert with Tarja, but with this song he closed the End of an Era and Floor helped him with her voice and her power. Thats my mind.
13:05-13:50
This IS the music of Heaven and this IS the voice of an angel mourning.
Can't stop crying...
😔
The world's longest song about writer's block
Nightwish is fuckin' awesome, Tuomas is a genius, Floor hits my soul with her singing. #floorgasm
Damn you Tuomas..!! I've been a faithful Nightwish fan from 1998 to 2005.. I was pissed that you fired Tarja the way you did but after listening to this i could'nt hold my personnal grudge upon you anymore.. You made me f* ckin cry and i thought that Ghost love score was one of your masterpieces but you've arrived with this Greater than Greater Masterpiece..!!! I'm now back a Greater fan of Nightwish that i've Ever been before.. Damn you Tuomas but also Thank you..!!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Four years later, 2020, this performance still hits so strongly - the emotions are passing directly from the monitor to my heart and I just can't stop crying. This is the prove that there is something higher than any hope, and even if I 'm atheist, for me this is how God has to comunicate with us. I saw the Wembley's concert video many times, but adding the lyric gives the incedible and powerful emotional impact. Thank you, @PiaVasquez
I have all of Nightwish's albums and have been listening to them since the 90's but only recently started watching them live and it's an entirely new level of awesome seeing them perform. Floor has the most spectacular stage presence I have ever seen.
Oz Osgood I was thinking exactly the same when I saw them first time couple moths back
Really? While I dislike the whole Floor/Tarja thing I reckon Tarja had the upper hand in that department. A natural actress as well as singer. And I wouldn't leave Anette out of it either.
Floors stage presence is pure perfection and you can't beat that!
(1) If you are referring to Ghost Love Score Tarja Turunen "walked off stage" because that was the arrangement so she would not just stand there with her hands in her pockets while the song played out with deliberate emphasis on the instrumental and choral conclusion. (2) Floor Jansen often walks off stage during performances and usually for the same reason - there is a protracted instrumental section. Anette Olzon I don't know about but I assume she did the same. Your remark about Tarja Turunen's "class" is reprehensible.
I do not think I made myself clear in my comment and for that I apologize. I watched a video of all three singers singing ghost love score and tarya WALKED OFF STAGE AND DID NOT FINISH THE SONG!! You could see the band playing the song to the very end and she was absent, she did not finish the song. The ending of that song is the most epic part of it! And I know that singers often walk off the stage during the longer musical compositions of the song which makes total and complete sense . She may have been fighting with the band, but her fans did not deserve that treatment. They paid their hard-earned money and some even travel long distances to see them live and to hear her sing. And for her to treat THEM like that is what is truly "reprehensible". And I stand by my comment that her actions were not classy AT ALL. However you are entitled to your own opinion.
Holy mother of God , what a voice , what a voice , goosebumps, what a voice , damn , she say thank-you but we are be grateful for hearing you Floor , Epic Song , I don't think that anyone y this world can sing better , just pure voice , powerful, expression, headbanging that voice that voice that voice, and I never hear this band before ,how many time loss hearing evanescence, fuck. Now I follow that woman in every social media and now a big fan , as anyone that can hear she, wonderful she.

Emppu: Did you just see Floor headbanging and kicking ass out there? Tuomas: Oh yeah!
I loved when Annette sang this, use to play this on repeat. But Floor. My goddess. The Pacific had me in tears.
Miss Floor and Nightwish, You Guys are The Greatest, Made me Cry.
