Original Video -
Tuomas (keyboards) wrote this song during depression. Instead of killing himself in real life, he killed himself in this song. (That's the short version.)
dont forget he does that with his hand just after that text
Beyonce who? Meet the goddess, Floor Jansen!
Amen to that! When I heard the "B" word I almost had a coronary event. Had to take some more oxy. :)
They didn’t compare her vocally, they meant the fan blowing her hair, Beyonce uses that pretty offen.
@@leeana6394 I know.
@@leeana6394 I know, Lee Ana. It's just when I hear that name or the "A.L." name in the same breath as Floor, I kinda freak out, you know what I mean? (LOL) And Floor doesn't use a fan, she commands the winds of Thor when she sings. :D ;)
tracy turner lol, commanding is spot on.
Nightwish- Ghost Love Score live at Wacken
He has already done it!!!! 😉
@@TheStefan6969 not yet..
Link to Ghost Love Score is a must ruclips.net/video/JYjIlHWBAVo/видео.html
@@Z_TPI i have a feeling that its gonna come sooner or later 👍💯
Epic nuff said
Although a masterpiece, I don’t think this should be the first time anyone hears Nightwish. Needs an understanding of the story behind it and the band. That said, glad you liked it. Next do shows from the Wacken 2013 concert. Particularly - Ghost Love Score , Storytime, Song of Myself.
Definitely Storytime or Ghost Love Score or better still Romanicide.
I was just like...
Wait... Is this the FIRST Nightwish song they're listening too??
Oh, dear.
Nah, i don't have any of that. I'm not a true fan by any stretch... This is just their best song by a mile. It's just truely awesome.
Greatest Show on earth in Tampere?
I found nightwish here on RUclips about a year and a half ago and waited till this weekend to really listen to this song once I found out what it was about. So yeah I agree, who ever told them to listen to this song first should not have done that!
This was a pretty intense one to start with guys LOL. Romanticide, Storytime, Song of Myself, Dark Chest of Wonders, all from the Wacken 2013 concert...
those songs are more straightforward and accessible bangers for you guys to check out and get into NW IMO
Probably the hardest one to start with... most complex, complicated song also 2nd longest. Its meant to be no fun, the matter is dead serious. Godd thing you choose the lyrics version, on this one it would be extremely hard to just try to catch them (or do without them at all).
Hello @ LFR FAMILY! Nightwish Army incoming here, your reaction just appeared on our radar..
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! That's a hard one to start the Nightwish journey.. I'll give you the short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan:
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrulmentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "

Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.
You forgot about "The Greatest Show on Earth (with Richard Dawkins)"!! ruclips.net/video/qrMwxe2ya5E/видео.html
Tough one to start out with, not knowing Nightwish or the meaning behind this one. Nice react, hopefully you'll keep checking them out. Ghost Love Score from Wacken 2013 - not the BlueRay version since it's slowed down a bit. Another classic, epic, multi-act masterpiece. So much good music by this band; you'll never stop being amazed. Nice reaction.
Man, this is a HEAVY song for your intro to Nightwish y’all, I’d have picked something different to ease you in haha the composer for the band literally wrote this song as an alternative to suicide, very heavy subject matter, y’all should try out some of their more accessible stuff, Anything from the Wacken show in 2013, some of my favorites are Everdream, Romanticide , Ghost Love Score, Storytime and I Want my tears back, but for real any song from that show is amazing
fyi, Floor is 6'1". a true goddess!!
5' 9", but yes still a goddess
@@masterexploder6802 might want to check your info on that buddy, she has said it in many interviews
@@Syeco80 She's 183 cm, converted to 6', a little over, but not 6'1.
Floor Jansen is the greatest voice around. Nightwish is lucky to have her.
That's true. And we have to be grateful for Nightwish as well, because without them most of us would have never heard about Floor Jansen.
And vice verca !!
Vise versa
Agreed James her voice is something else
I disagree but thanks heaven that we respect the choices of likes ...
Greatest Female Vocalist
highly doubtful, there are many other female singers with wider range. this girl mostly does opera and tries to go the highest pitch other than diversifying it. Why do you think the bassplayer sings? because Floor can't hit the pitches he can. Bands with 2 different singers do it because one singer can't do what the other can.
@@keithgraham8588 You probably never listened to more than one song, then!
Floor is VERY, VERY diverse. Do your research before randomly claiming stuff you can't back up.
Also Marko singing doesn't mean anything, he sometimes has his own songs/own verses & most of the time just harmonizes with Floor. Has absolutely nothing to do with pitch.
P.S: Floor "mostly" doing opera, is again a baseless claim. She sings in varying styles, Tarja was the one mainly focused on opera-singing.
@@keithgraham8588 Im guessing you haven't really heard her sing much outside of this song because what you have written is verifiable nonsense.
@@keithgraham8588 - I think you need to give your head a wobble after that statement.
@@keithgraham8588 lol, it’s funny that you have no idea how wrong you are.
This song starts with "The End" and if you look up the lyrics ends with "The Beginning". The female singer is 6' 1" and 173lbs. She's married to a drummer for the band Sabaton and he's 6' 7". She's probably the primary female (soprano) singer in the world right now. BTW, the songwriter is the piano player. The song also parallels the life and death of Edgar Allen Poe who wrote novel The Pit And The Pendulum but was also written because a rift in the band when he had to fire his childhood friend, Tarja the first female singer for the band. He caught a lot of shit with hate mail because of that firing. He felt like committing suicide but wrote this song instead. Tuomas the pianist writes 95% of the songs. The lyrics probably meant he erased everything he ever wrote. Kind of erased his life.
This song is about .... oh shit, never mind. My family already told you. Love you guys
This is not the ideal song to start with getting to know NW. Long and emotionally heavy. I hope it didn't scare you off. Plenty of great live NW songs available. Wacken 2013, Wembley 2015, Tampere 2015, Buenos Aires 2018. '7 days to the wolves' from this same Wembley 2015 concert is my recommendation for your next NW reaction.
Hi from Helsinki, (HellSinCity), Finland
Damn what an intruduction to Nightwish, this band likes to tell stories and some stories take time to tell they even got songs longer then this. This band usually is fun loving and smiling through most songs but as you can read in many of the comments made alrdy this song is very personal to Toumas and naturally they aint their normal self when performing it other then beeing almost flawless in the performing
Im not sure why any NW fan would recommend this song as someones first ever listen to NW lol. To say you knew nothing of the band or backstory of this "song", you did a good job on the reaction. A few of their songs are long master pieces like this. More like musical theatre than something you would rock out to. Most of their songs are shorter but still very well written and quite dramatic. They are a Symphonic Metal band. because of this they have very different sounding songs, from Heavy, to folk music, and use a wide variety of instruments. They aren't for everyone but most people can at least appreciate the talent even if the music isn't for them. Liked and ready to sub at the next NW reaction :p
I love it when you are joking about the Beyonce fans and then, when Floor starts her high notes, all of a sudden, everybody is quiet ...
You just witnessed the most versatile and beautiful singer singing today. Floor Jansen. The song is written by the keyboardist it's about how he felt when the first original singer left the band. You need to check out more of their music nobody can top this band Live
LFR....prepare yourself for the Nightwish Army now. There like E.S.T if the symphonic metal world. The guy on the keyboard is Thomas he is the head of the band he writes all the music. Floor Jensen is the Goddess behind the mic. This was in my opinion a pretty big song to introduce you to Nightwish. You should check out Ghost Love Score official live 2013. Or Storytime same concert.
Tuomas. Get it right
@@nikolahtinen9241 ill pronounce it how ever damn feel.
Not even worth my time go back under your bridge troll.
@@rodnikify yet you took the time to write back :)
Mocking the keyboard player after you just witnessed him figuratively committing suicide (the hand going across the neck) isn't funny when you really know the backstory of this song. Most songs don't require a bit of homework beforehand, but this one does.
That's why we DON'T RECOMMEND POET AND THE PENDULUM AS A FIRST LISTEN. How the fuck were they supposed to understand what they were hearing or seeing? That's what's not very funny. Some people don't like to do research first. Have some fucking empathy, for loving such an empathetic band as much as you do you sure are shortsighted.
Quite disappointing 😔
Beyonce runs and hides when Floor Jansen is in town....... there really is a long story behind the song, but you mention the keyboardist not look enthusiastic...... well the song is about him committing suicide. You notice how different band members come over to him during the song... they are checking on him as playing the song is painful.
That's why they were only comparing the hair blowing in the wind, not their voices. Not an opportunity for you to shit all over another musician.
@@user-jy1bc3gw2q sorry... that was "shitting on..."?... go back to you mom's basement, the fish sticks are almost done
@@mikemclaughlin3306 Lmfao sweetie, I'm a 30 yr old classically trained pianist of 24 years. Which is why I have respect for musicians of all kinds even though my background isn't metal. I don't have a narrow pigeon-holed view of music like yourself because I judge it according to skill and talent and not my emotional attachment to my personal preferences or my own cultural exposure.
But go back to your frozen fish sticks, I'm having homemade sushi and miso soup for dinner.
@@user-jy1bc3gw2q how, by my comment do you assume that I have a "pigeon hole" view? You got that from one sentence? A sentence that was, by any standard, hyperbole. You have zero, and i mean zero clue what my "view" of music is, but hey, i mean, you made sure you told me you are classically trained on an instrument that is not vocals, almost like a vegan. As if, somehow, your training gives you some sort of inside track on both my one sentence, and me. So, ive been playing guitar for longer than youve been alive, i guess that shoild carry a bit of weight....And did you "sweetie" me? Wow how sexist and demeaning of you.
@@user-jy1bc3gw2q oh...... and yes floor jansen is better than beyonce. Shall we count the ways?
1)classical vocals
2) better range, especially at the lower range
3) better stage presence (opinion)
4) can sing in any style a song requires, not just pop
5) better breath control live, where it counts
6) can sing in at least 5 different languages
That's not shitting on Beyonce. That is the truth, and it's really not my fault that you have no understanding on what constitutes "shitting on"
This song is autobiographical. Keyboardist and Founder of Nightwish, Tuomas Holopainen had to let the first singer the band had go, and was vilified by much of their fan base. Took a lot of grief and dealt with great depression contemplating suicide, but instead kills himself in this song. Here's a link that explains more: nightwish.fandom.com/wiki/The_Poet_and_the_Pendulum
actually they could have parted ways amicably and were vilified for acting in a vindictive, cowardly manner designed to destroy Tarja's reputation
Poet and the Pendulum is not a song you can hear, without any research. I mean, you still can enjoy it, but if you not really understand the meaning behind it, you miss the point..
Guys...🖐 the Poet and the Pendulum 🤘
As a first.....ow boy!
This is imo their best song, the backstory, the lyrics, the music 👌😎
There are 3 great songs...dare i say epic?
This one, Ghost love Score and the Greatest show on Earth.
Normally i would say do Ghost Love Score 1st. After that do some other songs like Storytime, Romanticide, Song of myself, Yours is a empty hope or 7 Days to the Wolves 😋 evt. some other songs and then go for The Poet and the Greatest show....they both need some homestudy...just some. To know what the songs are about.
Nightwish has 9 studioalbums and are at their best live! Wacken 13 (a must watch, pick a song any song and you are in for a treat) London 15 (which this song is from) Tampere 15 or Buenos Aires 18 👌🤘
Comic con???? What...never been there, probably never will be!
Ehm Beyonce.....🤔 yeah she is Good but Floor Jansen 6ft 1 is something else, she is our Valkyrie our Angel of music! She has a range that is fingerlicking 4 octaves someone mentioned. She does lows (growls) and with no problem goes high D6 (for 8-10 sec)is the highest i know and me thinks on the new album she even goes higher.
If you want you can check out Beste Zangers 2019 a dutch tv show with singers doing their stuff, not a competition btw.
Floor sings songs there in German, Spanish, Dutch and English. She does a lovely version of Shallow 😘 and then there is The Phantom of the Opera..ow boy..she sings this with Henk Poort (Mr Phantom in the Netherlands)...let me say it this way..all the other versions are ruined for me...it is That Good! 😎
Well hey Thnx for this! As stated this is a awesome band and if you choose to go on this journey, you will be in for a Epic ride.
Have Fun and Enjoy it All!
...🖐
Ugh she was never compared to Beyonce's singing, only her hair blowing in the wind. Nightwish fans need to work on their over-sensitivity because it's fucking absurd and kinda savage.
@@user-jy1bc3gw2q i am a fan of beyonce....i did say i finf her a goid singer...so really do not know what you are ranting about....or is it your sensitivity over Beyonce....
#ComeOn.....
@@Syp74 Lol no, because I'm actually not a fan of Beyonce. I'm also not a fan of the Nightwish fanbase making the rest of us look like unhinged psychos with the over-sensitivity surrounding Floor or the way people misinterpret reactor's comments.
And why would you be talking about Beyonce's singing abilities if they weren't even talking about it themselves?
@@user-jy1bc3gw2q yeah Beyonce is a good singer, but Floor 6ft 1 is something else, She is our Valkyrie, our angel of music.
I gave my opinion...do not know what the problem is with that!
....
@@Syp74 Take a look at every Nightwish comment section and tell me there's no problem with the opinions people keep attacking reactors with.
No I don’t do the Comic con thing at all!!! 😂. I would love to see you guys check out Storytime or Everdream. That was a tuff one to start with for sure. Pure Art is what you just witnessed!!!
I love this Song. I really do. But seeing this Live Version, and seeing the expressions on Tuomas' (the Keyboarders) Face is so painful for me... this Song is my all time favourite, it just always makes me cry...
if there is a cure for the world,.... it must be hidden in her voice...
I know that *I* get my daily "cure for the world" by listening to Floor's brilliant voice. Not sure how I made it so many years without hearing her, to be honest. She is a Gift that Mankind should give Thanks for!! 🌟💫💛
Nightwish - “Ghost Love Score”. Live at Wacken.
This one is deep. Tuomas, the keyboardist/composer/songwriter, wrote this after the band's first singer, Tarja, was let go from the band. Tuomas and Tarja grew up together and Tuomas centered the band around her. Some say he was romantically interested in her. Tarja married her agent and he basically had too many demands or else. To avoid conflict, Tarja was let go. Tuomas became depressed to the point of suicide. Not only did he think the band was over or that he lost the fanbase, he also lost his lifelong friendship. His mother and father consoled him and was his last lifeline.
Ok, so you guys have no idea about the band, the history, or anything else about this song which is a shame. it's actually wrong on so many levels to react to this song without a background check first.
So first of all Nightwish had another singer by the name of Tarja Turunen. She was Tuomas's (the keyboardist) crush in high school and one of his closest friends. He is also the main composer of the band and the creator of the band since you had such a nice time making fun of him without checking first. In 2005 he was forced to fire Tarja because her behavior became a problem to the band as she became so full of herself she refused to go to rehearsals, or go to a tour in America, demanded more money and a private tour bus for herself and her husband who was the manager of the band at the time. She also said that she was the voice of Nightwish and she wants to leave the band a be a solo artist and without her, Nightwish will no longer exist. All of the members became frustrated about the situation there were fights, demands, and stress around the band members so they all voted her out and gave her a letter which later was published for the fans in order for them to understand why. After this Tuomas was cursed and judged by the fans and the blame fell on him. He considered suicide but instead, he composed this song as a reflection of his feelings. The verse "being raped again and again" is a metaphor for being so judged by the press the fans and everyone around him. This masterpiece has so much feeling, suffering, and pain behind it. So next time you react to a song do your research and stop judging without knowing the whole story. Me as a fan I'm disappointed about your remarks.
Agreed, but as the person that requested it gave them no heads up, and most songs don't really require any real history it's sadly very understandable. I would like to hear an update tho, since by now they've had more than enough time to look into it.
Hi, I lot could be said about this band, and this song, but many has already filled you in. The band is from Finland, Europe. I really think you should go to the Wacken concert 2013 and chose just any from the 15 songs...they will all blow your mind...and then you will think again who Beyonce was.
Yo Timi, send some Wintersun their way 🤣
Oh no, so sad how you didn't get the sad undertones of this song at all and were even laughing at Tuomas (the composer, the poet who the song is about, the keyboardist who plays most of the instruments you hear here) :'(
Hard song to react when you don't know the background story.
Check the story behind it and you will understand every word.
Great reaction anyway.
This is like diving straight into the deep end of Nightwish world. This one needs the back story of the keyboardist, Tuomas, and a really dark spot in his life. He basically writes and composes 90+% of their music.
From Wacken 2013, Ghost Love Score, Storytime, Song of Myself, Romanticide (a really heavy one) are better introductions to Nightwish, all excellent songs by the way.
After that from Buenos Aires in 2018 e.g. Devil and Deep Dark Ocean, Slaying the Dreamer and then slowly moving deeper into the rabbit hole with celtic vibes, soft ballads, really heavy songs, more of power metal, more proggy, more poppish and everything in between. In a few even some jazzy vibes.
The keyboardist actually wrote the song.
DEVIL AND THE DEEP DARK OCEAN - Nightwish!!!
Greetings from Illinois! Don't know if you'll enlist in the Nightwish Army or not. The young lady looks like the most likely recruit. She seemed to grasp Floor's greatness. Beyoncé (Oh, pains me to say it, or write it) does not compare (LOL) That's how we in the Army feel, but it's all in good fun. We feel that no mainstream singers compare to Floor. Anyway, hope you'll climb aboard the Nightwish train. Peace and health. :)
That's why she wasn't being compared to Beyonce... literally only how her hair blows in the wind. Nightwish fans are so sensitive that any mention of another singer gets everyone all bent out of shape. It makes us look weak as fuck.
@@user-jy1bc3gw2q I think a lot of it is for humor's sake. I'm sure they don't mean it seriously. But if they do, that's on them. I feel sorry for them. Personally, I feel like one other reactor (Millie Mossaie) when she said "oh, fuck all these mainstream singers, man, Floor is the real deal". I mean, she was half joking but I agree in that I thought so many of these American mainstream singers were so great, until I heard Floor and some others like Simone Simons. But that's just personal opinion. And those are like A-holes, everybody's got one. "Better" is always gonna be a matter of opinion. Peace and health. :)
This song served a purpose and it’s a masterpiece but it’s not the starting point for this band. I would skip Ghost Love score as well. Romanticide Ghost River or Song of myself at Wacken 13.
Except Ghost Love Score is an excellent jumping off point for people who don't listen to metal. And these people don't listen to metal. You might like Ghost River, but someone who doesn't listen to much metal and doesn't have an ear for it yet might not at first.
And I say this as someone whose favorite is not Ghost Love Score as I prefer the heavier stuff as well.
Love it when there’s more than one reactor. Good job. Don’t worry about comments regarding Tuomas on the keyboard. You didn’t know the back story. Usually reactors see Poet after they fall farther down the Nightwish rabbit hole and are encouraged to research it first. It was very interesting watching you without you knowing what the song is about. Floor Jansen is the Nightwish Army’s Valkyrie and yes, she does work out. She’s is a 6’1”, 4-octave soprano and has one of the best and most versatile voices on the planet. She can and does sing any style. They’re my favorite band and I hope you do a few more songs. If you want to do some head-banging try Romanticide from the Wacken 2013 concert with 82,000 fans present. This concert is singled out a lot because the songs are great and the audio and video are excellent. Ronanticide: ruclips.net/video/zz_7OCCQlXs/видео.html
Kinda surprised to see this song being the first one you would react to out of this band. Nightwish has some challenging songs with sounds that don't fit together unless you understand what they are trying to tell you.
This is a symphonic metal band that has a wide variety of sounds but to explain it very simply it's like melodic metal meets movie scores.
What do you do to this song?: "Listen"... As you should to good music.
Heyy!!
Nightwish army here!!!!
They really are impressive. Their stage shows really are spectacular. If I ever get the chance, I will definitely see them.
I hope you're all having a lovely day.
I'm just starting the video, so don't know if you touched on this, but this is a hightly personal son for Tuomas, the keyboardist and writer of the song and most if not all of Nightwish's songs. This was written after the band parted ways with their original singer, Tarja. It was contentious to say the least and there was a lot of flack thrown around. It's about as personal as a song can be.
Edit:Don't think of necessarily Floor singing the song, but Tuomas expressing himself though the band as a whole. I believe this is him, symbolically committing suicide. I think this is very hard for him to perform and band members have been seen checking on him mid performance.
He writes most of the songs but not all of them. Marko is also a good songwriter. However, all of them play/participate in other projects so they pick which songs to do as Nightwish and which to do elsewhere. Marko often sings with the band Delain as well as his own band. Tuomas and Troy perform in Auri with Tuomas' wife Johanna as the third member. Emppu appears with Brother Firetribe though I haven't seen anything recent from them. Floor pops up in several places; Beste Zangers, Northward, guest with Epica, guest with Kamelot... Kai is also very versatile. He was previously the drummer for Wintersun.
I loved that you A) had the family along for the ride... B) did this with no research of the song before doing it (like most of the Nightwish Army suggests), and C) had an honest reaction.... Also love that your daughter realizes the power in it.. And yes, it's different. I found out about these guys a year ago watching reaction videos just like yours and have been hooked ever since.
So much ignorance here...how do you go abt your lives with so little knowledge...comicon fan based? She looks like wrestler...learn something abt Europe...firt learn where Finland is....jeeez
You owe me $2, lol. Never been to Comic Con, not my crowd, don’t read comics, don’t watch the movies. Nightwish appeals directly to my intellectual and musical side, as I am also a classically trained pianist. I joined the Nightwish Army back in 2006 and even that was 10 years late.
The person on keyboards is Toumas he wrote this song and all of nightwishs songs actually a metal genius
…..and he's one of the most genius poet/lyricist alive today.....(imho, of course😉). Stay safe & healthy, Sharon.... 🌟💫💛
Where is Finland...Was a joke right? Fan base dressed like Pokémon 😳😳 Well... Welcome to the Metal Music World , We are a Big Family, all over this 🌎. You guys just witnessed Miss Floor Jansen Queen of Metal 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
New subscriber from Arizona, USA, and I'm looking forward to joining you on your new Nightwish adventure. They are a very tight band with great stage presence and live concert production quality, so I recommend watching their many live concert videos particularly from Wacken 2013, Tampere 2015, Wembley 2016, and Buenos Aires 2018. Every song is unique experience due to Tuomas, keyboards, who writes music and lyrics for most of their songs. You have seen only a small sample of Floor's vocal versatility in this epic composition. Clicked the bell so I'll be along for your next Nightwish ride. Liked your reactions. Stay safe from the high desert.
With respect, This music is not meant for you guys; go back to your hip hop, rap, whatever it is. Your brain simply cannot process this type of music...I repeat, MUSIC, not that thing you like.
"Where is Finland?" The level of ignorance that normally these American RUclipsrs show is another level. America is not the only country in the world and there are many other countries in the world too. Read, travel and explore. Might help you from making dumb comments like that in the future. Travel after Corona is over, of course and wear a mask too.
To me, the "Thousand pages of erased text" were the songs he wrote, but didn't want the world to enjoy. He was mad at the world for executing him, so he killed himself and his legacy.
What do you say to a child as a parent. That has just seen your child world crumbled around them. An on the verge of suicide. Knowing there's nothing you can do to help them. Other than tell them you love them.
To see Tuomas sing along with the last part. Guts me everytime. Knowing the hell he walked through. I've seen them preform this live once. Not a dry eye in the place. Even hardcore metalheads balling.
I'm glad you did this reaction. That is a very tough song to start with. The best song to start out with and the most reacted to song on RUclips. Is Nightwish Ghost Love Score Live from Wacken 2013. It's Epic
I would like to suggest you to react Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Stars live rehearsal at Sonic Pump studio. Please and peace 🙏🏼😎✌🏼
Wow. Just wow. They totally don't have a clue. Not one clue between the three of them. Unbelievable.
Cry, most of the times... even the 100th time around. This is ART...
Welcome to your first stop of a long, surprising always awesome Nightwish journey. I hope you enjoyed your first Floorgasm :-)
My personal suggestion for the next songs in order to give you a nice overview of some "styles" covered by Nightwish:
-> Ghost Love Score (Wacken 2013): THE "traditional first song" to get into Nightwish. Floor is showing diferent capabilities and you can get a first understanding of Tuomas capability of songwriting
-> "Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean" (Buenos Aires) will give you a metal and power blast
-> There are a couple of great songs from Wacken: Storytime, Song of Myself, Romanticide, Last Ride of the Day, Ghostriver
-> "Yours an Empty Hope" from Wembley (have a good look at the growls)
-> "The greatest Show on Earth" (Tampere) and "The Poet and the Pendulum (Wembley - get to know the background of this song ahead)
-> Then the new stuff with "Noise" (Video), „Shoemaker“, "Harvest (Lyric Video) ...
Just my personal thoughts :-)
One thing you can definitely be sure of: Every song is different, has some surprising transitions, is intense. And none of the songs you're going to discover will disappoint you.
Greetings from Hannover in Germany
tarja was a better singer imo she was the original singer for this band, and you are probably right about the fans being from something like comic con since most of the music I heard from night wish seems to be a fantasy setting like lord of the rings and dnd style.
You`d be surprised who actually shows up to theyr concerts,and even more,what theyr fanbase is. Its everything from pure classical opera lovers,pop,rock,hiphop....you name it. People gets introduced to Nightwish especially after Floor joined,and they are HOOKED. Whenever you check out songs they did at Wacken 2013,you will even see some of the darker brothers in the crowd clinching theyr fists,and pumping it to the beat. There is no real stereotype Nightwish fanboy or fangirl,they come all shapes,sizes,colours etc. The confusion seems real amongst all 3 of you,and im not surprised. You dove right into that 1 song about depression,suicidal thoughts and anger from a piece of history for this band. As someone else mentioned,you should have been introduced to some of theyr other songs first,so you would get to know them more. Understand the history behind the band and such. This is wild territory for anyone who hasnt the slightest idea on what deep depression is,even worse when you cant imagine why the lyrics are so dark in the first place. Basically childhood friends that all of a sudden got torn away from eachother,by greed and what not....some third party jackass who had left all his morales in the gutter,and Tuomas got the blame for it all over an extent of time,both from media and from many of the diehard fans. He then developed depression,and things allmost took a turn for the worst,but luckily.....he wrote his own suicide instead of taking his life,turned it into a masterpiece about/around mental health. Theyr other songs are much less "confusing",you got alot of good stuff ahead of you! ;) 16:07 Needless to say,this was Tuomas`s own song about his own biggest battle in life at that point,a song that really hurt him to perform. And that upcoming part Mother and Father had him actually sing along for the first time,because that is the exact words his mom told him,comforted him with. That made him realize,he had to get his sh*t together,as well as get help instead of taking "the easy way" out. Thats also why Floor is checking on him from time to another during this song,and Marco & Emppu walks over to him at the end,to show him "we are here for you,brother!". Marco especially has a few really concerned looks over at Tuomas,before he walks over with Emppu. They all know this song means alot to Tuomas,and is really difficult for him to perform. Tuomas is at a much happier,healthier place theese days...thats also why he never wants to play this song live anymore. No point in ripping up old wounds so to speak.
I bet you they didn't read any of these comments explaining the song and still think he just wants to be with Beyonce
You have a great family, bro. Take care of them. Props from Maryland
Nightwish might be a little over your heads. Do some research and maybe give it another go.
Dude, the keyboardist wrote this song! Get facts right before saying he is upset about not getting a bigger part since he IS this band's brainchild. Without Toumas, this band wouldn't exist.. Those comments sounded ignorant considering this is probably the most emotional song "the keyboardist" ever wrote. Mocking him like that. Just saying......
Dude, chill out. They dont know the band or the story behind the song. First time they ever listened to nightwish.
If you don't know to say something sensible, maybe you better say nothing.
Like yourself? You idiots make the rest of us look bad. It's a reaction to an unknown band, not an expert review with all the information and history. Why do you y'all have to be such dickheads about it?
Maybe YOU twats should say nothing if you can't say something sensible.
I look like I just crawled out of the Woods. Since I'm from Finland, it's not a flaw. But I'm definetly not an elf. Sincirely from Capital of Metal, Lemi, Finland.
Shudder before the beautiful. Opening from the same show. It's amazing!
1000 pages of erased text. The things he felt and experienced in his life but could not share. 1000 pages filled with the emptiness he felt. He died with a smile on his gave because those pages were filled with the nothing he felt. And he has shared them with the world. In a convoluted way he Is showing everything he is by sharing the nothing the now experiences with his final work of 1000 pages filled with nothing. And he is at peace with himself now.
Gave was supposed to be face. The was supposed to be he.
Not a great place to start your Nightwish journey.
Floor is 6'1" and among her fans is considered a Valkyrie.
To be precise...."Valkyrie Queen" or just a goddess....among many other 'other-worldly' adjectives.... 🌟💫💛
Good one, try Ever Dream, Story Time, Nemo, Song of Myself, Ghost River, Ghost Love Score etc from Wacken 2013 and any other song from the same show. Yes she is tall 6'1''
…...in bare feet. She's in at least 4-inch heels on top of that.💛
@@cinderellsworth yes prob 6' 6'' near enough
Floor sings, oh what a voice, different songs and Maria das a great Eminem,lose yourself,check it, PLEASE!
Nice!! Please check out Ghost Love Score live Wacken 2013. So many different dynamics to their songs, but for me GLS expertly weaves all the adjectives I could think of the first time I watched this particular performance; it's hard, dreamy, powerful, soft, loud, funky, it's beautiful to watch. Mesmerizing really. You cant overuse the word masterpiece with Nightwish. Check it out and go from there. Thank-you. Nice job!
When you truly understand what this song is about, it will hit you with emotions. This is really rare that they play this song.
This is definitely jumping into the deep end with Nightwish! Loved your reaction, Nightwish Army Unite! Try Storytime, Ghost Love Score, Song of Myself and Romanticide. Go with Wakken 2013 Live when you're dipping your toes in. Thank you guys!
You were right about one thing: this is more like play than a song. Tuomas is a poetic story teller. Every song he have ever right based on a story. And this is also a play you really have to know the backstory before you fully understand what is going on there. So I recommend you to read the sad story behind this - he lost his dear friend in this scandalous episode in 2005. Why he looked as he looked in this video is because he ever didn't want to play this song live because he didn't want to feel the pain again he felt at the times when he wrote it out himself, in deep depression - but the audience demanded them to play it. So, Tuomas often asked his buddy to mute his ear monitors that he couldn't hear the lyrics while playing it.
Beautiful masterpiece! Thanks for reacting to it.
What a terrible intro to this bad, I don't think looking into the history of this song without knowing the band is going to help much, it just makes the whole band look emo and suicidal af.
Finland is between Argentina and Uruguay. It is named Finland because there are a lot of finwhales. The singer Floor Jansen is not from Finland. She is from Dutchland a district from Australia formerly known as Orange County!!!
Marcus Knorpp - 😂 as a Dutchy, I indeed love to have me some beer, Vegemite, Tim Tams and Gouda cheese while I stamp my wooden shoos, play the didgeridoo and pet my koala...
@@janjanssen9629 yeah the dutch and the aborigines are more similar than most of the people think. We should create a new form of science to explore the origin of this. Congrats to your country that you have so many female symphonic metal singers. Be proud.
Marcus Knorpp - thanks, it is remarkable we have so many female symphonic metal singers... mostly thanks to Anneke van Giersbergen, the “mother” of them all (an inspiration for Floor as well)... must be the water or the cheese...
We usually ride with fin whales. It's our way to move between places.😀🇫🇮
Just fyi, this is one of their longest songs, ghost love score is 10 min. Most are shorter "normal lengh" songs Ghost love score, or Song of myself from 2013 wacken would be a great next reaction
I'm not sure if you were trying to be insulting with your comments about ComicCon fans, but I have many friends who are serious classical musicians. I have introduced all of them to Nightwish at various times, and they have all become firm fans. The Nightwish fan base is marked mostly be a deep understanding of music, and a refusal to be fobbed off with lukewarm "pop divas" who for the most part can't even sing during their own performances.
No, they're not trying to be insulting, they just haven't seen people dress up in superhero/god-like attire anywhere else before. That's what it means to share culture with people who have never been exposed to it before. Toughen up that skin a bit. And maybe don't go around slamming other major figures of their culture while shoving yours in their faces? Jeeze, Nightwish fans act like unsocialized assholes CONSTANTLY.
@@user-jy1bc3gw2q I understand. They can insult my culture all they like, but calling it out is not allowed. You must be one of those people who think that racism is what white people do to black people. Pathetic.
@@donepearce lmfao calling what out is not allowed? Your imagined persecution? You seem to have an infantile idea of what racism is. Dunno where the fuck racism even came into it, nobody mentioned it until you did just now. Pretty weird place to default to.
@@donepearce what is too difficult for you to understand that it wasn't an insult? Dumb fuck
You should check the back story with this song first, then you wouldn't be wondering days on end how, why and who he was dealing with for many years.
The song is about the first Singer Tarja Turunen who was fired by Tuomas the Writer of all the music.
Tarja was not joining in seriously on band rehearsals but more Interested in her Solo career. Maybe the lyrics make more sense now..
Tuomas's specious argument..if she did not join in on rehearsements, she would not be able to perform so well with them...Tuomas resented her manager acting on her behalf, not caring for outsiders
@@faiffull3532 I remember Tuomas his own words from an interview. Never mind, the story in the song and real life doesn't change anyway. I'm even more happier that it happened the way it did. Since Floor Jansen "Nightwish" had grown so much really. I have respect for each singer of the bands I like to listen to.
@@rockntom72 ... actually Tarja, turned down many lucrative offers to remain loyal but Tuomas could not wait to dump her and did it in the ugliest way possible for which he paid a heavy price,...but i too am glad that Floor had another chance with them ...although i loved her more in her former bands, she is a sweet lady and deserves to be happy...hoping Tuomas treats her with more respect than he showed Tarja
try Ghost Love Score Live at Wacken(pronounced Vacken), Storytime, Romanticide
This was written right after the band decided to fire their original singer, the highly celebrated Tarja Turunen. Many fans turned away from the band and most people blamed Tuomas as the leader and main composer/lyricist of the band even though the decision was made by the entire band. Their second singer, Anette wasn't really liked by many. So Tuomas got a huge amount of hatred he even thought of ending the band. So in his own words "In this song I killed myself so I didn't have to do it in real life". This is their third and in my opinion best lead singer, Floor Jansen, a dutch woman who joined them during an American tour when Anette fell ill and was hospitalized. Since her relationship with the band was deteriorating fast anyway, the band decided to let her go. Floor had only 2 days to learn the entire setlist of 15 songs.
actually, the decision to dismiss her was not the cause of the vast backlash..it was the ugly way in which they did it that was the main culprit, since , seemingly, everyone knew Tarja to be the opposite of the terms used to describe her in the letter
if i'm not mistaken Floor is 6"2
Finnland, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway are Scandinavian countries Vikings may come to mind anyway react to Ghost love score live at Wacken EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think in order to understand the band and it's fan base you have to know a bit about the band first, what drives it and the pure creative inspiration that is Nightwish. So, here's the skinny on what's been happening with Nightwish through the years, the decades. Floor is the third singer, believe it or not The Phantom of the Opera performance was Tarja's (the first singers) last performance before the band had to let her go: ruclips.net/video/8VgLKXD-BoY/видео.html The reason being that she never really felt like this was her path. Originally, when Nightwish was formed it was going to be more of a classical based band. Tuomas, the keyboardist, writer, and composer of ALL their music, noting Tarja's operatic training brought her into the fold and basically formed the band around her voice. Being that they were all good friends and growing up together, it was very hard for them when she started to drift away, missing the practices and started making statements about leaving the band. Some credit her being influenced by her businessman husband Marcelo Cabuli, who was incidentally overheard on numerous occasions making statements that "Tarja was the face of Nightwish" and that she "could do much better without the band". Floor was actually the 'fill in' singer back when Tarja started missing the practices. Then they hired Anette (the second singer) and she was with them for a time until the whole debacle at the Denver concert when they all got seriously sick and she had to be rushed to the emergency room... then she broke her ankle in a fall when she was pregnant. At that point Anette just wanted to heal, have her baby and be close to home. So they moved Floor to the position of lead singer. The song The Poet and The Pendulum, which was written and wholly composed by Tuomas, was all about the dark time around when they had to ask Tarja to leave. Tuomas and the band suffered depression over their feelings of betrayal, especially Tuomas who was affected the most, to the very point that the band, family, and friends were worried about him committing suicide. You can see in The Poet and The Pendulum that it's his journey working through that depression, those dark times. The Poet and The Pendulum was Tuoman's written suicide, instead of doing the actual act. The very last words of the song are about forgiveness, love and making a fresh start, "In the end I will always love you....The beginning". So very very hauntingly beautiful.
Also you will notice that the drummer Jukka Nevalainen was replaced by Kai Hahto due to Jukka having debilitating insomnia. Also you really need to check out their Greatest Show On Earth performance. By this point they have also added a remarkable multi instrumentalist with Troy Donockley. As a warning, the song is roughly 21 minutes long but well well worth the watch: ruclips.net/video/aTAaEHiGjvU/видео.html There are many many songs where Marco (the bassist guitarist) and Floor harmonize beautifully both of their amazing vocal ranges a compliment to each other.
As I mentioned above Tuomas (the keyboardist), other then doing the odd collaborations every now and then with other members of the band, writes not only ALL of NIghtwish's lyrics, but writes the music for ALL the instruments, as well as writes ALL the orchestral music you will hear playing in the background of their songs. He is a complete musical genius and will go down as one of this generations greatest composers.
As always listen, appreciate, and enjoy!! God Bless!!!
actually, prior to Tarja the band was of acoustic variety and the hardly knew each other in high school..further, she did not drift away but after 7 years of having her basic concerns ignored announced that she was leaving after the 6th album..then the band started to drift away from her with Tuomas anger growing over losing an irreplaceable vocalist(his words) ..this song is Tuomas's way of playing the martyr and purging himself of Tarja
@@thegrtone744 Actually, that is wrong. Everything I wrote was taken from not only what Tuomas, Emppu, Marco, and Jukka said in interviews but from what Tarja said in response in an 'look back' interview as well. Case in point, there is footage out there on YT of Tuomas and Tarja singing together in High school, ya know being that they were in the same music class and all. Look it up.
As always listen, appreciate, and enjoy!! God Bless!!!
@@meganroberts551 yes, they were briefly, acquanted with each other...but the demo of Tarja's vocal samples was brought to Tuomas's attention accidently by Emppu, when Tarja came back to Finland for a break from training in Germany
actually, Tarja declared her desire to go so 2 years prior to break up...she married her manager and moved to Argentina...they agreed that she would remain for a bit but on her terms for, for a change : shorter tours, larger venues with less frequency'(to preserve her voice and overall health), better hotel and travel accommodations...no more life on a 24 hour liquor and smoke filled party tour bus, with greater privacy and time for herself...Tarja has documented proof that when she was timely informed of events, she made every effort to comply but was not utterly consumed by the band's business, planning her own solo career ..the depression , allegedly, suffered by Tuomas was not due to feelings of betrayal, since he felt no compunction regarding the letter he posted but rather from the avalanche of critique from seemingly everywhere for the terms painting Tarja as a greedy diva who lost interest in the fans ...an image directly opposite of the truth to be known to all
you have no clue what this song means!!!
Yeah, that's what happens when you throw them into the deep end with no explanation. I don't know what you were expecting.
Love some Nightwish! Would love to see you guys react to Spiritbox ! :D
Next " Storytime" Wacken 2018 !!
Yall wanna see Marko(the guy who's vocals scared you, lol) REALLY sing? Check out Kiss While Your Lips Are Still Red official video.
My man, thank you for reacting to this. I'd never heard it before. Music and the vocals were absolutely amazing.
floor jansen literally is 6 feet tall lol
among the tallest in the world are the dutch. those long legs explain their achievements in volley ball, swimming, speed skating and soccer.
Dude, the look you got at 0:20!! I played this back five times, hilarious!
Floor is a shade over 6', plus 4" heels. And works out...but you got that right off the bat.
Y’all are so cool to watch!!!! I tip my hat to you Brother for introducing your kids to the verities of music you have been. Not many do this anymore.
That's a pretty steep and heavy entry into the Nightwish rabbit hole 🤣🤣🤣
A lot of people -- including those in the comments here -- will tell you that you need to understand the background of the lyrics. You don't. This song perfectly embodies the various stages of depression, something a lot of people can relate to or empathize with. In fact, the composer of the song Tuomas is of the opinion songs should be open to one's personal interpretation.
Having some understanding where he is coming is from will provide some context on things that happened in his personal life but not having that context does not diminish the power of the song itself in any way shape or form.
That said I hope you guys will take some of the suggestions made on this thread, they are truly an amazing band.
she is 6ft 1
I love this band. I alwaysbtear up during this song
ur way off in ur interpretation of the song, but i loved it, how ur minds went. loved the reaction, tnx
Okay, who's the asshole who threw them into the deep end without warning them? lmfao
The army wasn't notified...!
@@Piia2023 Pretty sure a member of the army must have recommended this. People are CONSTANTLY recommending the Poet and the Pendulum right of the bat.
@@Piia2023 Except some of them don't because I see it all the time.
