Hi Debbie, here's a little story for you... About a year ago my son was having trouble with school buses and for a few months I took to driving him the 30 mins to school and collecting him again at the end of the day. At the time he was listening to all sorts of stuff and top of his listening was rap (!) In the car I have a MP3 CD of all Nightwish albums - all nine. So it goes through their entire work from beginning to and as I drive. For a couple of weeks my son sat with his headphones on listening to his stuff. Then he stopped doing that. A few weeks later he started asking me a lot of questions about Nightwish, the band members, their history etc. One evening he came down from his homework and told me Spotify was strange - it had given him listening stats and told him his most listened to songs were now Nightwish, closely followed by some other band, rap I think. The odd thing, he said, was that he had listed to Nightwish 449 times and the "close second" was about 70 times. This was a boy who listened mostly to rap When I asked him what his favourite was he said he wasn't sure but one of them was "Our Decades in the Sun". Not what I expected from a 16 year old boy.
I love this story! I’ve not done this song yet and to honor you as his father I’m going to do this song today and dedicate it to you and your son! Thank you so much for sharing this with me. These are the special moments in life that fill me with such happiness 💙
@The Question Queens There's no official live version. The album version is good and there is an audience-shot version from Zurich that has acceptable sound... (Unless someone knows better? Please?)
@@thequestionqueens Excellent ! I concur. It's not often done on YT, but a very touching song. I understand that the whole band had some trouble recording it owing to emotions and Floor missed her cue in the studio, when they looked in the vocal booth, she was a sobbing pile on the ground. Previously they will not do it on stage as a complete band, too "dangerous". . . . . . .I believe that maybe changed.
This is the song "Our Decades in the Sun a Nightwish song wrote by Tuomas & Marco on the "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" album . its from Floor's 1st album with Nightwish and its a Tribute to there parents
After Beste Zangers Floor added this song to her setlist on her solo shows. Lots of tears were shed! Nightwish also performed it a few times in the last year. Very unique as its a super emotional song for every single person in the band! Such a beautiful song ❤
Family is the most important thing in life and we often only really learn to appreciate it when we have lost it.I think a call to my mother is also overdue. cu Debbi 🤗
She did really well on that whole song, but, man, from about @7:41 to @8:01, the first time it kinda hit that harder rock part, she was killing that...
Now you should check out the original one by Nightwish. There is a pretty good fancam from a show in Zurich you can look up. It is very recent that they started playing it live, and they're playing it acoustic with Troy just like that how's the heart video. There's also a version from Floor's solo show that is amazing.
love me some best zangers- this song makes me cry every time I hear it-neither of my parents are here anymore- you may want to check out Nightwish's version with floor- keep em coming
That season was best ever. All the singers performed outstanding - and really gave everything they had, plus more while they went outside their comfort zones. Great song - and from the heart, as you said 👍❤️
I have seen on RUclips a clip where Samantha and Floor video conference ( possibly on Floor channel). With English subtitles ,where they discussed the show etc.
lyrics in english I climbed off your back Not so long ago To a blooming meadow To a path you'd made for the lightest feet Mother I am always close to you I will be waving every time you leave Oh, I am you The care, the love, the memories We are the story of one Father I am always close to you I will be waving every time you leave Oh, I am you The care, the love, the memories You are forever in me This verse we wrote On a road home For you All this for you All this for you Our walk has been sublime A soaring ride and gentle lead You have the heart of a true friend One day we'll meet on that shore again Mother I am always close to you I will be waving every time you leave Oh, I am you The care, the love, the memories We are the story of one Father I am always close to you I will be waving every time you leave Oh, I am you The care, the love, the memories You are forever in me
Hi Debbie, More up-beat today. Fascinating to hear Samantha singing in her own language, watching Floor tear up, Rolf looking back at Floor. Henk and Ruben, they all felt that! The size difference of Floor and Samantha :) Parents...
Debbie, how can you have two grandchildren, when you're not even old enough to have two grown daughters? One of the thumbnails on the screen is for De Reünie, a Dutch tv show Floor took part of. If you haven't seen it, I would love to see you react to it. It follows Floor before and after the show in Tampere.
Hi Debbie, I can see that you are a very proud grandma! I would have been a grandma too 5 years ago but a beautiful fullgrown boy was still born! Sometimes life sucks!!! Lots of love Marion 💚
One of THE highlights, when I went to see Nightwish in December last year. I didn't want to spoil myself knowing anything about their setlist before (although it became pretty hard towards the end ;-) ), and I still had in mind what they'd said back then: that this song would probably never being played live, cause some members would be too affected by it. So when Floor and Troy were preparing themselves on stage for an accoustic session, I thought they'd now gonna play "How's the heart". Well, what a wonderful surprise, when I heard the first few tones of "Our decades in the sun".
Nightwish will now perform this song in their last European performances at the end of 2022, oh so beautiful and of course Floor shines like an beautiful star.🎶🎶🤟🏻🤟🏻
are you talkin about this year? 23? A bit confused, when you say they _will_ perform this (which tells about future) at the end of _2022_ (which is in the past) - and Floor shines (which is like _now_ )
Gee, I guess this means you'll have to do Nightwish - Our Decades In The Sun from Wacken next, right? What a beautiful song...Samantha did a great job with her rendition of it. Your dad is such a sweetheart for doing that for the ladies in his building...such a heartwarming story! I wish my parents were still around so I could talk to them again. They never got to meet their granddaughter, which sucks badly. They always asked when me and my wife were gonna have kids and we held off doing so until it was too late...they had both passed away by then. It's the biggest regret I have in my life, not having a child earlier so that they could meet my parents. Life goes on though. Your grandchildren are beautiful, grandbruh! PS...the title translates to "I Am Always Close To You". Cheers!
There is now an official version of that Nightwish song, not performed by them, but by Floor during her solo tour ruclips.net/video/wtNti7fiimE/видео.html
The sprcial thing is that this dong ess never petformed live by Nightwisg, do this was the first time! After this Floor did it live hetself and now Nightwish petformed it live at ladt!🔥🔥🔥
Nightwish never performed this live , to hard for them to do it .....up until this last tour , they do an acoustic version ( theres a fan cam vid of it) Floor does it at her solo show in Amsterdam and its amazing . ruclips.net/video/wtNti7fiimE/видео.html
Samantha's personal music is not my thing, but that doesnt say anything about her voice and skills, because "Sam" can sing.. no she can sang!! I loved all her performances and was well impressed with her range and personality, she's a fun lady to say the least. You'll enjoy her other songs as well i'm sure. And from the short description about your daughter... she sounds awesome!
Hiya. Talking of family, if you ever react to "Monsters" by James Blunt, please, please play the video all the way out to see the final gesture among the appearing thumbnails and have tissues, pen and 'heart watch' to hand. Stay safe. All the best to you.
Wellwellwell. You got me thinking. But maybe not the way you intended to. Which has nothing to do with your beautiful idea. But last time I called my dad to tell him I love him, all of our relationship went straight down the drain, all mayhem (And it was kinda a whole lot better already at that point - before that one call - after years of not so okay). I don't know what happened - only that it was a bad bad idea. And that's kinda sad. But after trying some soon 50 years I think enough is enough. No power to try no more. Cannot do miracles. Some things you just have to live with. And it's just possible I'll lose him things being like this. I just cannot, anymore. Not again. He's not a bad guy. He's just.. I don't know. a bit awkward or something. Cannot handle emotions. Like almost at all. At least not if something is said. Other than: It's cold, do you have enough warm clothes. And now there ain't even that left. Sorry. I don't know. Something about your warmth and laugh and all just got me. (You open something in the world. Maybe that's your super power) Life is. Is it how awkard if i asked for a hug? Yes, it is. And still I tell I might need one right now. (Been quite a while since was the last time crying about that all. Well, maybe it was about time for that.)
Just call it best singers. We understand. If you want to say it in Dutch, you should say the beste (with the e spoke as (e)x. And zangers with a sounds like law. So beste (e' like ex) S, a like law, angers.
As for the Dutch lesson: The "th" is just pronounced as a "t" in Dutch. So, it is Samanta. I will not go into "Steenwijk" That is for much, much later. As for the song, well, it is not my cup of tea. It goes into the direction of the Amsterdam style folk songs that I just don't like.
I doubt that we'll ever see Samantha on this channel again, so the pronunciation of her last name doesn't matter. And it's pretty much hopeless trying to teach an American how to pronounce foreign words anyway. You don't like this song? That's because you're EVIL.👿 You probably worship Satan and listen to this horrible noiz called metal. Eww... Samantha is a volk zangeres (sort of) and... I mean, it's a Nightwish song, so of course it's folk.😊

When Floor sang for Samantha she also sang Samantha's song to HER mom
This is the song "Our Decades in the Sun a Nightwish song wrote by Tuomas & Marco on the "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" album . its from Floor's 1st album with Nightwish and its a Tribute to there parents
After Beste Zangers Floor added this song to her setlist on her solo shows. Lots of tears were shed! Nightwish also performed it a few times in the last year. Very unique as its a super emotional song for every single person in the band! Such a beautiful song ❤
Now you really need to react to the song that Floor sang that Samantha wrote about her mother called "Mama". Very powerful.
Family is the most important thing in life and we often only really learn to appreciate it when we have lost it.I think a call to my mother is also overdue. cu Debbi 🤗
Samantha is a fantastic singer. Her performance on the first episode of “Het geeft niet / Mi Manchi” was wonderful.
She did really well on that whole song, but, man, from about @7:41 to @8:01, the first time it kinda hit that harder rock part, she was killing that...
Now you should check out the original one by Nightwish. There is a pretty good fancam from a show in Zurich you can look up.

🤗🍒🤘🏻😘nothing lied about the other singers in the Beste Zangers eh, much more to discover!!🥰
love me some best zangers- this song makes me cry every time I hear it-neither of my parents are here anymore- you may want to check out Nightwish's version with floor- keep em coming

So many more great songs on the beste zangers for you to react. Love the story about your dad he sounds fun to be around.
Hey Debbie , Floor and Troy sang Descades in the sun three month ago in Zurich, Switzerland. It’s on YT. So good.
I grew up with Dutch neighbours and my kids are half-Dutch. Some good friends in The Netherlands too. This was great!
lyrics in english
I climbed off your back
Not so long ago
To a blooming meadow
To a path you'd made for the lightest feet
Mother
I am always close to you
I will be waving every time you leave
Oh, I am you
The care, the love, the memories
We are the story of one
Father
I am always close to you
I will be waving every time you leave
Oh, I am you
The care, the love, the memories
You are forever in me
This verse we wrote
On a road home
For you
All this for you
All this for you
Our walk has been sublime
A soaring ride and gentle lead
You have the heart of a true friend
One day we'll meet on that shore again
Mother
I am always close to you
I will be waving every time you leave
Oh, I am you
The care, the love, the memories
We are the story of one
Father
I am always close to you
I will be waving every time you leave
Oh, I am you
The care, the love, the memories
You are forever in me
Hi Debbie,
More up-beat today.

Henk and Ruben, they all felt that!

Parents...

Hi Debbie,
I can see that you are a very proud grandma!
I would have been a grandma too 5 years ago but a beautiful fullgrown boy was still born!
Sometimes life sucks!!!
Lots of love
Marion 💚
❤️
Wonderful video! Great content as always. Love the background change. I need to move my bike out of mine 😅
I loved seeing your bike! 😂 but everyone’s too busy seeing how beautiful you are to notice your bike!
I like Samantha's voice. You should react to her on Beste Zangers
More Beste Zangers 2019 songs please ..... All the songs in Episode 4 are great where Floor Jansen is in the hotspot. Do them all I would recommend.
Nice, and they (NW) had played it live last (this ?) Year. Go and check it out (but don't ferget your tisues)
My dad died when I was 4 or 5 yo and me and my sister seen it happen... Still crying about it sometimes
