Great reaction! Floor said it best when she said "wow!" This is my favorite Floor performance and one of my favorite overall Nightwish performances. Not only is it great musically, but the theatrical interplay between Floor and Marko is so much fun to watch!
Hi! The album Century child has so many great songs... The beauty of the beast being possibly the best. And amongst the best NW songs, ever. Highly recommend
Damn - I can't believe I missed this live reaction. My notification didn't "notify" me - Grrrr. Anyway - awesome song and the crescendo by floor on the third "belt" is something to behold. How she sustains and elevates through it is incredible.
Hi Christi! I saw your reaction 3 hours late, but it was so fun to see you almost burst out of your leather jacket. So extremely happy Nightwish made you, again, that even Ghost love score is having competition now. In this song the whole band has to play their instruments sharp in perfect timing. Otherwise it will be catastrophic. They are probably the best band in the world. I'm so proud of them as citizen of Finland. Good wishes to you..Kaisa
An E6 siren from Floor and a beautiful shift from very dissonant minor tonality into major towards the end. I agree with several comments.... An Ocean of Strange Islands is a must! Best song since Greatest Show on Earth
Hi Christi! The song is from the OCEANBORN album, the 1st album I heard from NIGHTWISH (1998), being astonished by Tarja's voice, and I was not the only one ( it was Simone's fuse for entering the genre). Although I prefer a quite underestimated song from this album (The Riddler) I always like to see you in symphonic metal. In a few days you'll get an invitation...hope you accept it! Cheers from Greece!
Fun fact: While Marko was introducing this song, Floor & Tuomas were making a libation to the gods (so between “The Kinslayer” and ‘Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean"): ruclips.net/video/me469bGvWSE/видео.html
An aside to the current song, but you mentioned 'Yesterwynde'. I've just read a recent magazine interview with Troy Donockley, who said that he and Tuomas invented the word between them, and it's pronounced as in 'wind a watch'. This pronunciation and the 'wynde' spelling were used for wind ('a stiff breeze') in the sixteenth century, such as in the song 'Westron Wynde' [and in Shakespeare's (and others') works, where the poetic rhymes make the pronunciation clear]. It's intended to evoke both ". . . yester-wind, a wind that passes through us, or yester-wined, as in wind a clock back."
Their method can be seen In the documentary "making of Endless Forms Most Beautifull" . Perhaps you could someday React to it? Basically Tuomas composes and writes lyrics to the song. Then he creates demo versions with synths containing all the Instruments. Vocal melody he plays on top of the demo with a piano sound. Then demos and lyrics are sent to the bandmembers, Who study and practise their parts at home. After this comes a training camp, where songs are finalised and everyone can presenter their improvement ideas to Tuomas and others. Finalised versions of band parts are the result of this camp. When training camp is over, they usually head soon to the studio.
For Yesterwynde Floor was unable to travel for the training camp. I wonder if her not participating in that camp impacted the final versions of the new songs, i.e. they might have had stronger vocal melodies if she had been there. I know she did her own vocal prep since Tuomas has said she was amazing and extremely well prepared when they came to her home to record her vocals and they were able to record them in half the time he expected.

Your favorite Nightwish song is usually the one you just heard
Alternative title for this song : Kai Hahto and the Deep Dark Drumset.
Yeah ! Unleashing a little bit of his power ! You will love the last track "Ocean of strange islands", lots of hard drum parts as well.
😅😅😂
Marko and the Deep Weird Faces😂😂😂😂
Same show, slaying the dreamer. Even better.
New Nightwish an ocean of strange islands is a must listen. Tuomas threw everything into it & unleashed Floor finally.
yes and check it first time without video.
Ocean is amazing!!! I had a massive grin listening to it for the first time. Best song since Greatest Show imo
I was lucky enoguh to be at that show. It makes me so happy to see you reacting to this song live!!
Kai went hard on the drums on this one. The constant double bass is so satisfying to listen to
Hi Christi, Yet again you did a great Review, on this Amazing Band Called Nigtwish. Thank You Dear Lady From The UK.
Watch Marko's hands while he's singing...they are almost a blur! So amazing!😮
Great reaction! Floor said it best when she said "wow!" This is my favorite Floor performance and one of my favorite overall Nightwish performances. Not only is it great musically, but the theatrical interplay between Floor and Marko is so much fun to watch!
Greetings from the Netherlands…great reaction to this magical band🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

Yes that high note was an E6.
Then immediately just goes back into a straight chest register like it was nothing

Hello Christy. Hope you have a better week going forward. The dreaded illness for a vocalist. 🙏🙏

This is in my Top 5 Nightwish song too (and there is least 10 songs more in that Top 5 list 😁).
Its a Floor masterclass on Metal vocals
Hi im from Belgium
All great. Not to forget Kai is going crazy as well.
Christi, I am not able to attend your life streams, but I do watch them later on because I value your opinion. Greetings from the Netherlands
I really enjoyed this!!

Apparently Floor breaths in once a week 😁
Floorever da best! From the Netherlands serving Floor!
You have still to react to Ghost River from Wacken 2013 show. That's another great duet between Marko and Floor.
🤘🖤🔥
Some of those notes had to be above D6 ?
The siren note was E6
traduction?????????
