The language sung by Troy at the beginning of the song is Welsh. Troy plays the Uilleann pipes and the Low Whistle. Both are Irish instruments. Marko's instrument is called "The Beast". The top neck is a 4 string bass guitar, and the bottom one is a 6 string electric guitar. It was a Nightwish concert at the sold out Wembley Arena. Walden is a book by Henry David Thoreau, chronically the two years he lived by Walden Pond, seeking solitude and a oneness with nature by living simply and creating an environment that suited him and no one else. He interacted with others, selling beans he had grown, but did not integrate with their institutions. The line in the song “ I do not wish to evade the world, yet I will forever build my own,” captures that nicely, I think. NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.
This is simply Nightwish music 🎶. And whenever Nightwish tells you a story - they ensure you get the ultimate experience of it, using the musically composition needed to enhance the experience/story. And the same goes for Floor - she uses every bit of singing technique to give you the ultimate experience of the story, to make sure you feel it inside and out. That just Nightwish!! 👍
They will surprise you. They are really true musicians and performers - drawing influences from everything and letting the spark of creativity flow them this way and that. Makes them so much more of an interesting band. NW Army, BC Canada
Troy is indeed playing the bagpipes…specifically Uilleann pipes, an Irish variant of the instrument. He was also playing a low whistle, similar to a tin whistle but larger and with a lower, deeper tone. As you go on, you’ll see/hear him play all sorts of instruments. Someone else recommended I Want My Tears Back from Buenos Aires…I’ll second that.
Thanks CJ for the info. We already reacted to, I Want My Tears Back. I provided link below. Hope u enjoy. 😁. ~ Tazzz ~ ruclips.net/video/PyODAmUrEH4/видео.html
Great reaction guys. Song inspired by the book of the same name by Henry David Thoreau, another favorite poet and writer of Tuomas. Thoreau was a transcendentalist who lived simply near Walden Pond for a number of years and wrote about the beauty and joy of living a simple, self sufficient life. The lyric :"I do not wish to evade the world but I will always build my own" is such a beautiful line. Walden is metaphor for building your own slice of heaven wherever you are, whether in the real world or in your mind.
Since the band's composer is Finnish, it's no surprise that Nightwish has a lot of folk music elements. There are a lot of folk metal bands in Finland and folk music is often combined with many different genres even without realizing it. All kinds of wind instruments have been a big part of Nightwish's sound since the very first album. It took many years, but eventually Tuomas found Troy, who was a perfect guy to take on the band's role as a multi-instrumentalist.
Love your new shirt, Philly. Another great reaction. Looking forward to the next one. Greetings from the Nightwish Army (Sydney, Australia Division) 🇦🇺🤘
Tazzz, you really nailed it with your well chosen, well meant and heartfelt words...thanks! Both gentlemen do a great job and I feel you both are already 'be'Nightwished! Love from The Netherlands.
Awwww, thanks so much, RrR. I truly appreciate your kind words. We pride ourselves on being real and authentic, so it means alot y saw/heard that. ~ Tazzz ~.
Absolutely Celtic, & they are EUROPEAN. We in the US need to open up to more influences. Troy is from the UK. Nightwish is the best! Nightwish Army Texas!
Another great reaction from both of you. This is one of my favorite Nightwish songs, so uplifting and beautiful, showing off the musical talents of every member of the band. Terrific and thanks.
Game of thrones my all time fave😀 Wembley is a big wish of most British musicians, I love this song, but then I love them all. Cool sweatshirt Philly. Great reaction guys.
Hi guys i am watching you and you are cool . Nightwish is the meaning of life , they have no bad songs .❤Floor❤is a stage Animal . Troy is incredible talented vocally and when he plays different instruments , its crazy🤪🤗🤘
Hey Tazzz & Phily. Love your reactions. If you want to see Troy and the rest of Nightwish "REALLY" get the crowd going, can i suggest you react to, " I want my tears back", live from Buenos Aires. It won't disappoint. Troy is such an underrated member of Nightwish, and this song really shows how he adds to the band. Grettings from Australia. 👍🤘
Hi Andy, thanks so much for the kind words. We already reacted to that song. Here is the link below. Hope u enjoy. 😁. ~ Tazzz ~ ruclips.net/video/PyODAmUrEH4/видео.html
Troy was playing the Irish Uilleann bag pipes they have a bellows under the right elbow that he pumps up while playing , he was also playing a Low Whistle
@@tazzznphilly LOL no , he also plays tin Whistles , the way to tell them apart is the low whistles are bigger with a deeper sound & the tin whistles are smaller in size and have a higher sound
This one is a little taste of the Celtic folk/metal vibe from Nightwish. Troy plays old traditional instruments. It was a flute called a low whistle. Tazzz hit it on the head. Troy is English and a sold out Wembley is a big deal. My Walden is a reference to the famous poem for Henry David Thoreau, the American naturalist, essayist, poet, and philosopher. A leading transcendentalist, he is best known for his book Walden, a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings, and his essay "Civil Disobedience" (originally published as "Resistance to Civil Government"), an argument for disobedience to an unjust state. Tuomas loves great poets and especially ones who write about the natural world. Love the Nightwish shirt Philly!
NW ARMY Arkansas here. Troy is playing the Uilleann pipes. Not bagpipes. He has a leather bag between his elbow and torso. When he pulls up, air goes into the bag instead of blowing Into it. I believe the metal flute is called tin whistle.
Uilleann pipes ARE bagpipes…just an Irish variant…Highland pipes, parlor pipes, pastoral pipes, Uilleann pipes…all bagpipes. Also, a tin whistle is very small and has a high pitch. Troy was playing a low whistle.
Alright. Seriously. Showmanship tip. Philly. There isn't a SINGLE Nightwish fan who wouldn't have noticed you were wearing a Nightwish hoodie. It would have been better if you hadn't pointed it out. Trust me, we ALL saw it before you highlighted it. The Comments section would have been 3 times as deep with the Army comments about AHHHH!!! Look What Philly's wearing!!!! Missed opportunity, brother! Troy is playing the uilleann pipes (a little different from bagpipes, you inflate uilleann pipes with bellows underneath your arm or on the floor, you inflate bagpipes with your breath), and he also plays several different flutes and tin whistles. That was a tin whistle.
"I've dreaming about this since I was about 9" and he did the song the justice it deserved. Troy is awesome.

The bottom half is an acoustic guitar with electronic pickup.
Thank you for this! I knew they didn’t look like bagpipes but wasn’t totally sure what it was
NightWish Army Wisconsin Chapter here. I love when Troy busts out the Ullean Pipes and the flute. Being from Finland, we hear such great music
Good Morning (Europe)!!! Nów I can start de day with a smile!!!

Beautifully sang in this song. Appreciate your interpretation and intel. Thanks for the kind words too. ~ Tazzz ~
To find one's own Walden, is to find the place, whether a physical location or a state of mind where you feel at one with nature, at peace within!
Ahhhhhhhhhh. Thanks for that important intel. We all want a walden then. ☺️. ~ Tazzz ~
@Tazzz N Philly Lol we all need one! My Walden is right here, enjoying Nightwish w new friends!
