AbiGirl's 1st time listen & reaction to "Lanternlight" by Nightwish! Where's my tissue?

[@gabriel.bardac]

Hello again, Abi! I'm glad to find you again reacting to Nightwish's music, this time to the last track from the band's latest album, Yesterwynde (released recently, on September 20, 2024 - that's the reason why there is no live performance of this song yet) If you take a look at the lyrics, you will understand the emotional meaning of the theme (... to which you reacted emotionally...) perfectly rendered by Floor, which touches the universe of loved ones who now live only in our memories, as well as our connection with them In the hope that you will continue exploring this true musical universe, created and performed by Nightwish for more than a quarter of a century, you have a new subscriber here. Greetings from Romania!

[@Pterodactylus548]

@@DavidPChristian2 It somehow feels that the boyz of the band try to put some brakes on, but Floor goes on like nature force! She did not end their South America tour when they found her breast cancer. And made gigs while being VERY pregnant🤔🙄

The male singer is Troy Nightwish's multi-instrumentalist. Other than Guitar he plays the Uilleann pipes (Irish elbow pipes), various Irish Whistles, Irish Bouzouki and many others. For another song with just these two check out an acoustic version of Hows The Heart from Planet Rock.

[@jpdemer5]

@@Abigirl_Reacts Tuomas considers it both an elegy and a celebration of the man's life. Floor had a hard time recording this one because of the emotional content ... there's still a tear in her eye at one point in the final cut. (There's usually one in mine as well, every time I listen.)

[@LarryHolmack-c1j]

I am 67 years old, and this song is one the most beautiful songs I have heard!

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

I agree 💯 👍

[@rnowak85]

Lovely reaction! Song is from their new album, Yesterwynde, that was released on 9/20 so no live versions yet and it will probably be awhile since Nightwish announced back in 2023 that they wouldn't be touring in support of the album. Instead they have released 3 music videos and 1 lyric video. IMO the whole album is amazing and best listened to in order. Male voice (harmonies and solo) was Troy Donockley, the mutli-instrumentalist Englishman who became a full member in 2012 along with Floor. He comes from the traditional Irish/Celtic music world and often adds a folky feel to songs. He was not on stage for Ghost Love Score. Final song from the final album of the trilogy. It feels to me like someone saying goodbye to family and friends as their life comes to the end. Loads of beautiful imagery in the lyrics of seeing the end, of reminding those we love that we will always be present, of lamenting the unfinished things we leave behind (as is always the case), and then walking "to the trees". Since Tuomas is famous for writing lyrics for multiple interpretations I could also see this song where the narrator is death personified, much like the way the lyrics in Music were. A third way I see it is that the lyrics aren't necessarily about a person but are instead a metaphor for humanity and our walk through the eons of our existence which would fit well with the themes of the album trilogy. A number of references to Auri and other Nightwish songs. "Auri is a side project of Tuomas, Troy, and Tuomas's wife Johanna Kurkela ( a well known Finnish pop/folk singer) that makes beautiful atmospheric mood music. I am in the light and flood" and " I am in the four winds" IMO are shout outs to the Auri songs Light and Flood and The Name of the Wind, very beautiful instrumental that have a similar feel. For me the line "I am you who climbed off your back" gives me Decades in the Sun vibes and of course "To the meadows I go" is tapping into the same symbolism and meaning as Meadows of Heaven. Heartachingly beautiful song and a perfect bookend to the album and trilogy. A beautiful tribute to Tuomas's father and all that are the lantern light for our journey through life. I agree with Tuomas, if we have lived a life of joy and meaning then we shouldn't be sad at the end but celebrate a life well lived. I think this song and Epica's Tides of Time will be the songs for my funeral when I pass. Checkout Ocean of Strange Islands lyric video to get a more traditional Nightwish vibe. Since you enjoyed Tuomas's symphonic compositional skills here you should checkout All the Works of Nature Which Adorn the World. It is a 30 minute straight up orchestral piece in 8 movements that makes up all of Disc 2 of the Human Nature album. For Auri songs I would checkout Desert Flower. The Space Between, and The Valley.

[@Pascal-the-Rascal]

Parts of this comment could be written by me 😁 I have made similar comments on other reaction videos to songs from this wonderful album. I agree, "I am you who climbed off your back" gives me "Our Decades In the Sun" vibes as well. And speaking of Auri, this album, Yesterwynde, feels like a hybrid between Nightwish and Auri. It's almost as if Tuomas is trying to merge the two, to turn them into one. "All the Works of Nature Which Adorn the World" should be listened/reacted to in one go, preferably together with the Nightwish approved fan made video. Tuomas has another side project, called "The Life And Times of Scrooge" which is sort of a soundtrack to the graphic novel about Scrooge McDuck by Don Rosa. It's also worth a listen, the songs "A Lifetime of Adventure", "The Last Sled" and "To Be Rich" are among my favorites on that album.

I've been a Floor fan since Forever After. She has been through so much. If her voice doesn't blow you away.. her whole personality will. She is so powerful yet so humble.. sensitive and real. Tuomas is the heart and soul of Nightwish. He found his match and voice in Floor 🙏

[@clivematthews5296]

This song is from an album called Yesterwynde only released in September and will not be toured. The most recent tour 22/23 featured songs from previous albums. During which Floor was diagnosed with breast cancer and received treatment and continued the tour even after discovering her pregnancy. She had to stop in late June and gave birth to Lucy in October. Only six weeks after the birth she recorded all the songs for this album in six days !!

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

So impressive! 🤘😊🤘

[@pancentricism]

Another masterpiece that also includes Troy is "Shoemaker". It is a tribute to Eugene Shoemaker, a NASA scientist, who, to date, is the only person whose ashes are on the moon! Suggest you listen to the official lyric video first and then, when you have realised that it would be impossible for Floor to sing it live, listen to a live version. I'd suggest the live version at Hellfest.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

So interesting!

[@WardDorrity]

This is another Tuomas Holopainen masterpiece. He only keeps on getting better as his talent and vision matures. Absolutely stunning. This composition is as deep as the Marianas Trench and has more layers than a baklava. It is exquisite. I'm 73 and I am the last man standing in my family. I am the last of the Dorrity line. So this performance runs deep, cuts deep. I understand the feeling of loss, yet I still live with hope and intent. No small thing to live with intent. Nevertheless, Floor's voice and this composition is akin to an emotional depth charge to the heart. There is a tenderness and vulnerability there that I have not heard before, and it just breaks you. And her face, good Lord, her beautiful face so expressive and adorned with nothing save her heart and soul just melts me to my core. Floor's gestures in this work are a language unto itself - such love and tenderness, so expressive. I am not ashamed to say that this staggeringly beautiful composition and the meaning behind it makes me want to cry on Floor’s shoulder. I’m sure she would understand. The poetry of this song is also heart-rendingly exquisite. It is a poem, a prayer, an elegy. Listen to it. Just listen to it. Tuomas’ poetry can easily stand alone. Some of you get it. Some of you don't. I do, and that's all that matters. Kiitos to all of you in Nightwish for delivering such epic and emotional story telling.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

It truly is poetry, simply beautiful !

[@stephenhood1516]

I was fortunate enough to see the last two Nightwish show's at Kitee and Vaasa in Finland last year where Floor performed heavily pregnant. She sang magnificently, reaching notes a woman with a new life inside her should not have been able to reach, indeed she collapsed after the Vassa show and was taken to hospital, thankfully, both mother and baby were ok and Floor gave birth to Lucy, her second girl, just a few week's later. You will not find a live version of this or any other song from their new album, Yesterwynde because Nightwish are taking a rest and will not tour the album. Toumas and his recording team went to Floor's home studio in Sweden to record the vocals, she was given two weeks to complete the takes and dispite having given birth just six weeks before and having to feed the baby and being in pain while standing, completed the vocals in six day's! Toumas wrote Laternlight following the passing of his father, it's such an emotional song, emotions which Floor felt while singing it, stopping several times to shed a tear. Ultimately, the song is a celebration of a long life well lived and the legacy, we, as people leave to the next generations. Floor, who is from the Netherlands is married to Sabaton drummer Hannes Van Dahl and lives with their two daughters, Freya and Lucy in Sweden. A Valkyrie Queen and a truly nice lady, greetings from the Scottish Highlands.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

So jealous you got to hear her live!

[@nightmary]

Nightwish will always surprise - from Celtic folk to thrash metal and everything in between. Any song in the Wacken 2013 concert is gold and a good way to sample their versatility. Floor had only been with Nightwish for 10 months. She and Troy, the second vocalist here, officially joined the band that same year.

Whatever guard you have up, when Floor's voice comes in she cut's thru it like a fresh sharpened butcher knife and get's you right into your soul and while your bleeding out you feel satisfied.

This is hauntingly beautiful. Floor's voice is like a warm blanket wrapped gently around your soul. She is an enchantress - she draws you in, enthralls and seduces you. Whenever I'm listening to her, either with Nightwish or without, I'm either grinning like a maniac or wiping a tear out of my eye. Music is the sound of emotions. Tuomas understands this, Floor (and Nightwish) personify this - perfectly!! All the very best from the Canberra Regiment, Australian Division, Nightwish Army.

A few years?! I can't wait that long!

[@silverblack5475]

@Abigirl_Reacts I know it sux , Floor's not to thrilled about either But it'll go fast

[@masterrubyan2976]

The harmony is by Troy Donnockley, also member of Nightwish, plays guitar, wind instruments like Uilleann pipes (Irish bagpipes).

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

So impressive! 🤘😊🤘

[@paulhayward8459]

You are the most beautiful Dark Angel !!!

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Dark angel?! First time I've been called that haha

[@michaels.4107]

Sleeping Sun may bei a good one... At Masters of Rock Festival, shallow from beste zangers (floor alone), my Walden, shoemaker... Much to enjoy

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Thanks for the suggestion! ^_^

[@nightringer9815]

Fun fact: from 2012 to 2019, Nightwish has 4 vocalists in the band: Floor, Marko, Troy and Tuomas. Tuomas refused to sing since the 2nd album. Suggestions: React to The Poet and The Pendulum and prepare a box of tissue

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Are those separate songs?

[@wicled]

​​@@Abigirl_Reacts one masterpiece Before the last album, this was one of the big three. - ghost love score - The poet and the pendulum - The greatest show on earth

[@nightringer9815]

@Abigirl_Reacts Usually, one of Nightwish Army has approached you and tell the history of Nightwish. I'm just a member of Nightwish Army. Anyway, after "The Poet and The Pendulum", you might want to go down this list: - The Poet and The Pendulum - Phantom of the Opera (with Tarja Turunen, first vocalist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qn2VZqWYo9uAatEsi=OqfwVJyNMq_kVTtk ) - There will be 2 other version of Phantom of the Opera, 1 with Floor Jansen in Best Zanger and Nightwish with Floor and Henk Poort live. - Romanticide - Storytime - Elán - Perfume of the Timeless (2024, no live version) - How's the Heart (promo video live acoistic at Planet Rock) link (another tear jerke): kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4rXnIOme76thdEsi=rj9giokjqpojdXXC

For the veat guide to live performances amd a freat journey, defo9 follow Gabriels list, its a wonderful ride

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Thanks for sharing!

[@markclements-bs3mb]

Hi Abi, greetings from UK That was another great reaction, thank you 😉 May I please recommend another song from the new album called "An Ocean Of Strange Islands". Again, because it is the new album there is not yet a live version of the song, but there is a lyric video As a contrast to this song that one goes full throttle, and unbelievably, Floor shows us that she can sing without breathing! We are all looking towards the day that Nightwish will perform the song live, it will be STUPENDOUS! 😁 kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2fMqKWAn9-ef7ssi=E_9K9ZWf-oL8n91W

[@pritch999]

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Ahhh ok thanks for the info!

[@fabiomejiamorales7350]

Estás reaccionando a la peor etapa de Nightwish, Floor Jensen es tremenda vocalista pero la desaprovechan de manera criminal, esta canción no muestra ni la mitad de su capacidad No me malinterpretes musicalmente es impecable pero ya no es metal sinfónico, ahora solo es música sinfónica con algún arreglo de metal Te recomiendo que reacciones a "The phantom of the opera" con la vocalista original Tarja y "The poet and the pendulum" con Floor, ambos en vivo La calidad de esos temas están a años luz de la etapa actual de banda

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Thanks for the suggestion! ^_^

If you like music which grabs you emotionally, look no further than AURORA ... Give this a try for a starter:- Aurora - It Happened Quiet (Live at The Current) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4aQf2mCpt-Xf68

[@oldmanjimh3165]

Prefer to hear these soft vocals over belting.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

They are nice

[@VinkDaniel]

@@Abigirl_Reacts I agree. That's why I am not really a fan of Chinchilla as well.

[@johnveerkamp1501]

when it is not DUTCH, it. ain't much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

😃

[@ariedehart8691]

Troy

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Got it!

[@turkfebruary6299]

I actually didn't love this one, I know the constant BPM changes are super hard to do as a band, I appreciate how technically difficult this song is, but to me its like watching someone do a kickflip, I know its hard but it does nothing for me.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

I respect your opinion! Maybe the next one will move you more ^_^
