Dead Boy's Poem - Nightwish | Father and Son Reaction!

Well you will see my wife and I there, we could possibly be the two oldest humans going to the concert....I'm 78, and my wife is 77....

I was not at all familiar with Nightwish. Not sure why I resisted clicking any of their reviews. Thanks to Father and Son Reactions I experienced and came to appreciate these amazing performers. I knew it when I found myself nodding my head along with Larry. ............aka Pablo.

Nightwish seems like the perfect reaction after the break and it also works fine as warm up for the Nightwish concert on sunday. Have a great time at the show and please let us know how it was on upcoming reaction video.

Nightwish music is usually a journey. Their music tends to build slowly to a climax. Enjoy the show on Sunday. I will be going next Friday. Can't wait!

Wow.... As a Finn I have never heard that "Valhalla" belongs in Finnish mythology, not at in any ways (???) Truly curious where this kinda 'rumor' is oriented from 🤘😜 A Finnish national epic called "Kalevala" tells of a place called "Tuonela" which can be translated/referred to "The Underworld" Valhalla(h) is part of Nordic mythology, mainly in Norwegian Epic. ....Just what I've heard what the boys chats on the hood... 😆👌

[@dieseldog00]

Welcome back guys. Appropriate to do a Nightwish song react since you are going to see them Sunday. Hope you have a great time. By the way, Floor Jansen released a solo song on March 25, 2022 named Fire. You may already know this but Floor is married to Hannes Van Dahl, the drummer for Sabaton.

[@Matt-rn7ub]

You know, I was really curious to see with what song you would celebrate your comeback, and I was also thinking that Nightwish would be a great band for that occasion. You just made my day.😄 And this is one of my favourite songs by them. Great pick. I loved it. 😁👍 By the way, when are you taking on Poet and the Pendulum by Nightwish. I'd love to see your reaction to that.🤩

[@fatherandsonreactions]

Thank you so much Matt! I appreciate that very much. That song is tricky because of the blocking issues we’ve heard about it. Not sure if we will end up doing it or not. -Ethan

[@charliewalter4138]

@@fatherandsonreactions I think that if you react to "The poet..." from the official Nightwish channel you will have no problems with copyrights. :-) It's my favourite song, BUT... it's really dark, it deals with hard depression and very dark thoughts... I think it's brilliant, but be prepared - it's really dark. But still beautiful.

[@stevejones1682]

How would I describe Nightwish? Classical music performed with metal. Often very highly atmospheric and descriptive. It can't be all heavy to give a true description of a part, and it is the various parts that produce the whole. Incidentally, it was Tarja Turunen who performed the original of this on the album Wishmaster. And what a fantastic album that is.

Nightwish is definitely the band that comes to most peoples minds when hearing the term "symphonic metal" 2 other bands that use symphonic in a bit of a different way than Nightwish are Scardust( i recommend trying "gone" as first track) Seven Spires( i recommend starting with title track of their latest album "Gods of Debauchery")

Thanks, you have to record reactions to the songs on the setlist before sunday.

[@evilvolts]

Did you know Floor Jansen and Simone Simons of Epica have work with Ayreon on his scifi metal operas here's a song with Floor and 10 other prominent singers from bands like Symphony X, Blind Guardian, Kamelot, Dream Theater,Epica, and Nightwish Here's Ayreon The Day That The World Breaks Down kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXfYfn6ap9-Dp7c

[@brianmannell9754]

It's very fitting you start the channel comeback with Nightwish! Awesome! I think this was a good tune for sure. Floor, of course, knocks it out of the park. It felt like the lyrics and vocals took more of a center stage with this track, with the music acting as a kind of guide with the tale she was telling. I think I'm with you, Ethan. I do prefer the heavier stuff. Feeling "Rewarded" with the heaviness of Harvest. That is great way to put it, as that is EXACTLY what that song, and many other metal songs like it, intend for the listener. The song's meant to kind of gently lure you into its softer composition, and when the listener allows themselves to get invested into the music the song will progress more and more into something different. Sometimes it progresses into heaviness, other times into different composition styles. And by the end, the song will have to pay it off in some way (depending on the mood it's trying to convey. Maybe pay it off in a heavy and vibrant way or have the heavier part in the middle and then let it trickle back into the softer part). Unless it's an atmospheric piece, the progression and contrast of the music within the piece I think is pretty important to have for songs like this one (and Harvest). And believe me, there are quite a lot of metal songs like that, too. Moreso in genres like Post-Metal, Post-Rock (this genre has a LOT of tracks with build-up), and even progressive metal and rock. But other metal genres, and genres outside of metal, have some songs like this as well (especially classical, which a lot of metal is rooted into compositionally, and as you know... Nightwish has a LOT of classical-style music within their work). Oh boy.... Hearing you guys talk about when you might have bought the tickets, is a very relatable feeling. My sense of time has basically been warped for the past two years, it all blends together for me. lol XD Going to see Nightwish this Saturday! Looking forward to it! :D Whoa... and there you have it. My novels have returned as well, apparently. lol Wishing you guys the best! Looking forward to more reacts from you guys again and thank you for this one! :)

I am not sure what the appeal of this band is. They seem rather derivative. Is it because they have a female vocalist? When it comes to female talent reaction channels, such as this, are totally bypassing and missing out on the talent from the BLUES genre. Because, blues, as a musical form, is heavily ignored by most, if not all, reaction channels. Yes, I know, I am tapping an empty well when it comes to finding reactions to Blues artists. My frequency of visiting reaction channels reflects this. It is disappearing at an increasing rate
