REACTING to NIGHTWISH (10th Man Down) 🕙👨👇

[@solidshepard7812]

Holding my breath until Chase gets around to High Hopes.

[@Marieketoetsenist]

Please don't die :P There's soooo much music to get to so please breathe xD

[@SandraNelson063]

He hasn't done High Hopes yet?!?!?!?!?

[@1982jeepcj8]

How in the hell has he skipped High Hopes (shakes head, I don't think he heard Creek Mary's blood yet either

[@vlad-ovidiuadam6489]

If he's close and/or loud enough and does at a softer starting song...they might just do :-p

[@marcoheinrich9518]

In the middle? Rather like after ten seconds: "You know how this works, we are taking it all the way back."

[@Pelamaal]

Most groups when you start to listen to them you get about half dozen great songs but as you go deeper the quality drops and it all starts to sound the same. But with Nightwish you never stop being surprised and blown away.

[@andouta]

True. Another thing that always amazes me is how short their songs feel compared to their actural length, and compared to other bands' three-minute songs that feel like eternity even if they are good.

[@beldin2987]

@@andouta Try "Tales from Topographic Oceans" from Yes, double LP, 4 sides only 4 songs, that was a real masterpiece. Shortest song is 18:34 And then there is of course also "Close to the Edge", one Album with 3 songs, the longest title songs 18:50 and the others 10 and 9 minutes long. And "Relayer" with a 22 minute title song and 2 9 minute songs. They were the masters of epic symphonic rock back in the days for me 😃

[@andouta]

@@beldin2987 Will check them out. Thank you!

[@juanmendez3770]

@derp derpin just out of curiosity, what do you consider good music?

[@jo_g.germany]

@derp derpin From a longtime Nightwish fan: it is ok not to like Nightwish or Symphonic Metal. But Chase just did Falling in Reverse 'Im not a vampire (revamped). Now if that piece of art failed to stir something in you then I truly think you might be beyond help.

[@LunaBianca1805]

Never heard this one sung by Floor, only by Tarja. But of course Lady Valkyria's slaying this one as well 🥰

[@marionblo]

Great song!! Other suggestions: "High hopes" or "The siren" both from "End of an era", "Sacrament of wilderness" or "The kinslayer" both from Buenos Aires 2018, "Last ride of the day" from Wacken 2013.

[@magnuspeacock5857]

"Come wet a widows eye" is one of my favourite lines in any song

[@diedzjeeoudshoorn7726]

What a journey this is!!! Since I discovered Nightwish and Floor a couple of months ago ( where have I been?) my life got an extreme upgrade, if not a total reset. We are experiencing a musical wonder. Composing craftsmanship, musician excellence, unique talents, it's an epic journey. On a weekly basis, I discover new highlights. So in fact there are no highlights. Everything is of the highest standard and a highlight on it's own. I am 67 years old, worked in the music industry for ten's of years, but never, never, never experienced this. Like I read in earlier comments, the strangest thing is that not a few songs are good....Everything is exceptional. I am glad I was born in the right period of time to be able to experience this. Nightwish thank you thank you thank you.

As a fan from the time just before Century Child released it makes me so damn happy to see them pulling out the old material for live shows. Floor slays those songs...they become hers. I have not found a Nightwish song (hell ANYTHING she has covered) that I have not fallen madly in love with her singing it.

[@barbaravance6774]

EXACTLY! I'm with you 100%!💕

[@jaycece999]

Well said 🙂

[@julianne_warren]

I also prefer Floor singing the songs. She has power and she can go operatic whenever the song needs it, keeping her vibrato in check at all times and having perfect enunciation. Sorry, Tarja, you don't cut it. And Anette's weak nasal voice just drowns. Thank god NW managed to get Floor to be their vocalist.

[@PaulOutdoors]

@@julianne_warren Yes hallelujah to that 🙏😊👍

[@alleninfinity6730]

Never apologize for missing Nightwish or Floor, they are amazing. I been watching and reading everything Nightwish for a year now. Everytime I listen to a song or watch a video over again, I find new things I missed the first times. They are very complicated, deep and I love them. They Nightwish and Floor are forces of Nature, I am convinced.

[@linedinsilver8467]

This song is so powerful and beautiful. Check Tarja singing this one too, both versions are stunning but give me quite different feelings. Sounding a little tired today. Hope someone's asking you 'How's the heart?' ♥

If you do Kinslayer next, it is about Colombine High School Massacre, so quite a dark inspiration there.

The dangers of early-morning-viewing, sans coffee and glasses. As the video behind them rushed between the tombstones, I swore the blades of grass appeared to be the upheld arms of their crowd, as if an aerial camera was flying over them at high speed. It made for a very, very strong visual impact. Alas, we are all blades of grass in times of war, and the machine mows us down. G'morning Chase...what a way to wake up.

[@frankdenhartog5723]

Charlie, Elizabeth, Julia, my psychologist and you have learned me one of the most vital lessons ever that my both parents were never able to teach me. Never ever compare people. On the surface we look similar, but on the inside are we deeply unique with everything what have been given physically, what our parents ware able to teach us, which challanges, problems and limitations we are daily faced with, which decisions make and the consequences of them we will and have to live with and above all the courage that we need to have to live and overcome our own vulnerabilities. It is such a pleasure for me to watch your reactions on any live performance. To me you did something excellent in this specific reaction video. You try to stay far away from comparing with each other. It is more than obvious that you recognise and enjoy the uniqueness of Floor, but you still give any other artist the respect, attention and credit they deserver. I simply enjoy watching your reactions, because you always have that positive approach and vibe without any exception to any artist. That's what I like about you.

Yes the beginning is indeed war sounds, this is a song about D-day 1944. On the videowall you see the graves off the fallen soldiers. Almost every song of Nightwish as a deeper meaning than just a song, that's what I like about this band.

[@kimmocollander9623]

Actually, the refernce is from the Fenno-Russian Winterwar. There was a saying: "One Finnish soldier is equal to ten Russians. But what do you do when the 11th comes?"

Death is the winner in any war Nothing noble in dying for your religion For your country For ideology, for faith For another man, yes

[@katies8070]

This song is one of my favorites because the melody is so fun to sing, but it's also one of the hardest for me to listen to because of the emotion in it. To me it perfectly captures the anguish of the "guilty" soldier, someone who's killed in war to save themselves, but understands that the person they killed is just like them, fighting a war that isn't theirs. They know they haven't done anything wrong, they were just fighting to survive, but they can't help but feel bad for being the one who pulled the trigger. To me the verses sound hollow and almost monotone, like someone talking about a traumatic experience with a blank stare and every emotional sheild in place because otherwise they'll break. At the end of the verse the melody moves up, like they're moving from blank monotone to fear of judgement/justification (I had no choice, what else could I have done?). The chorus sounds to me like someone trying to run away from what they're feeling, from the memories of those faces. The lyrics echo this with phrases like "cut me free" and "pull the plug, end the pain". It's a beautiful, haunting, and very emotional song, and as much as I love singing it, it's hard not to tear up in the middle of it.

[@machintelligence]

This song is probably a reference to the Winter War of 1939, the Soviet invasion of Finland. It was said afterwards that each Finnish soldier was the equal of ten Russians. The Finns held out for months although hugely outnumbered. In March of the next year they surrendered and signed an armistice. Accepting the armistice cost Finland 11 percent of its territory, including the country's second city of Vyborg. The Winter War left 25,904 Finns dead. The Soviets lost at least 126,875 soldiers. The Soviet losses were probably 5 or 10 times that. It was later observed that they had conquered just about enough territory to bury their dead. "Deliver me from this war It's not for me it's because of you" "I'd kill them all to save my own" The Finns were on the defensive and received almost no help from other nations, but the poor performance of the Soviet armies against such a small opponent probably convinced Hitler that they would be a pushover. This led to his invasion of Russia and his ultimate downfall.
