Nightwish - The Poet and The Pendulum REACTION

[@peterkarlsson567]

This is the best reaction video of this master piece I’ve seen. Thank you!! I can’t watch this song without tears. Greetings from Finland!

[@Detrucci]

Thank you Peter :)

[@thapsus1]

Seeing Tuomas singing. Seeing others to go check if he is ok. Just can’t listen this without watery eyes.

[@Detrucci]

I did think that was what they were doing, I wasnt sure though

[@Darnaguen]

@@Detrucci Yeah, they do that every time, have done since it was first performed live. It's sweet.

[@Telepuzique]

just make sure not to LISTEN to him sing which he did on the first album. he sucks at it. :)

[@Schnorgldorf]

I love that Detrucci caught that moment. This is a good one dude. You nailed it. I love all the times you went back💯

[@Detrucci]

I do pay attention to whats happening haha :D Thank you so much for the compliment

[@damonbryan7232]

I can't watch Tuomas sing along without tearing up. Knowing how personal this song is to him. Floor transmits all the emotions in this song flawlessly. So glad he chose life. To bring us this masterpiece. An many others.

[@missrubyphoenix]

I've listened to both, album and live version of this song, several times now, and this one takes the cake. Annette's version sounds almost robotic, with no emotions in her voice, here you can hear Tuomas fear, anger, angst, sadness, through Floor and Marko's voices. The harmonies are amazing. The end is like a siren crying, mourning for the loss of a loved one, in this case it would've been our Poet and Mastermind, Mr. Holopainen. You get an A+ for noticing and commenting on the moment Tuomas gestures to cut his own throat. I haven't seen any other NW reactor say anything about this. I think they are cheering because the song itself is a masterpiece, leaving aside it's sad, dark inspiration. PS: I got major goosebumps on the dialogue before Dark Passion Play section starts, this song gets me every single friggin time!

[@Detrucci]

Thinking about it, this may be the most important song they ever wrote. It seems to separate the old from the new. The stories behind the song make me fall in love with it over and over again. I really love this song and everything about it. It's so sad seeing the lads go over next to Thomas and support him.

[@yvesroman5931]

Did you notice the heartbeat slowing down to a stop just after ? And yes, the great quality of Floor is to be able to sing anything with a lot of emotion.

[@missrubyphoenix]

@@yvesroman5931 me? Of course, all the time, and is even more sad and disturbing

[@hakalmi]

Oh my. Nightwish always bring us so epic and flawless performance. Well you don't stay behind al all with your NW ractions. You are always imperssed and ÿou show it so authentic way and it is the best in this channel. And don't worry about tears, because Floor has amazingly ability bring emotions to songs. I lose the battle and shed tears or two always when I watch this special and perhaps Nightwish best song. Thank You!

[@ascensionenergetics85]

Well Detrucci that was a great f💥kin reaction ! I have about 1000 pages of text I was gonna write but I see the army covered all I wanted to talk about so thank you so much about checking into the back story and to think this was written for Annette but Floor and the whole band just blow this masterpiece out of the water 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼

[@ferretmom66]

I don't mind the pauses/rewinding, it shows how much you appreciate them and their music. I am so grateful Tuomas chose life. Thankfully he is in a much better place now and has been for a while. FYI, he's been married to Johanna Kurkela, another amazing Finnish singer, since 2015.

[@Detrucci]

Thats fantastic. Just think, if he chose the other way, we wouldnt have any of these performances or songs :(

[@jimraynor3767]

@@Detrucci I'll second to that. There's some of Tuomas's best song writing in that short Scrooge McDuck album.

Another great one from this album is The Last Sled

[@jimraynor3767]

@@ferretmom66 Judging by a quick search, The Last Sled has been reacted to quite a lot, but the first part of the album has not been reacted to at all. In my opinion the first tracks (Glasgow 1877, Into the West) are just as good if not better. Not saying The Last Sled is not worth a listen, but almost the whole album is a masterpiece.

[@DieHumanless]

This song is a masterpiece.

[@Benobot99]

Agreed, it is the most beautiful song. True poetry.

[@OsoAloc]

Great reaction, mate. Iam sorry that Tuomas felt this way. For me, he was never a whore for the cold world. He is a gift to the mankind and we, the fans, will love him forever. Iam absolutly grateful for his work, his passion and all the great moments he gave me. And next year, i can see them live :D

[@madeofwar8781]

Every time I listen to this song i cry, I cannot help myself, the mother and father part hits me like a ton of bricks.

[@Detrucci]

This is one of the most heartbreaking songs I have ever heard. Its beauty is astounding

[@fdsannie]

I do not mind that you stop, pause, and replay. You are into the song and that is more important. If you notice at the end of the song when just Floor is singing, Marko and Emppu go over and stand by Tuomas to support him. They know this song still gets to him. I just want to hug him. The words Floor song at the end were some of the same words his Mother and Father said to him when he was going through his depression. But luckily he came out of it and we got a masterpiece. And he continues to compose beautiful music................

[@Detrucci]

I think everyone wants to hug him for this. He has such good people around him :)

[@fdsannie]

@@Detrucci Yes he does. These band members genuinely love each other. They are so happy since Floor and Troy came on board. That is not to say the ones before them did not have a lot to do withnwho they are today. I just think they found the pieces that fit together.......... :-)

[@Detrucci]

@@fdsannie The addition of Floor seemed to be perfect considering how ready she was for being thrown in to a tour. Troy is amazing too, those instrument skills he has are untouchable. I had such a smile on my face during TGSOE. Im really happy they are where they are and that the turmoil has passed.

[@fdsannie]

@@Detrucci Well put my friend........ :-)

[@andre6979]

​@@Detrucci Very good reaction, thumbs up. I think, it can be noticed in two lines of the chorus of "how´s the heart?" from the new album Human Nature. "Burn the rope and dance some more" could be a reference to GLS, in the album Version is the line "Just another loop in the hangman's noose" (afaik they never used this line in live versions). Imho GLS is directly related to Tarja too. Later in the chorus of "how´s the heart?" Floor sings "dull the blade and dance some more" and that, i think, is a reference to the blade of the pendulum. the blade now is dull and isn´t a danger no more. Greetings from Germany

[@BrianK_70]

Another great reaction man. This song was something else, got me emotionally so bad when the first time I was listen to it.

[@Silithael]

Great reaction. I loved how you had to go back again and again (and again and again and again for a certain cut, literally). From not caring for it when the album came out I went to loving this song so much when I discovered this live video. It's definitely in the top something of my fave Nightwish songs.

[@ericlenouy8756]

Yes, this is a true masterpeace. It is more than a song on a concert. It feels like a very emotional play on a thatre or something. In fact, I am sure, all of there conserts is a lot more than just a consert. It is a whole story from the beginning to the end. I have never seen them live but hope to be able to see them this summer. Greetings from Sweden.

[@Detrucci]

I agree, this song is special

[@jhcfight]

A masterpiece indeed. But not to forget: a reaction that did it totally justice. My favorite part is the little pause she makes after the last word Whore at the third chorus (14:50) It makes it so much more intense. edit: Oh, the cheering of the crowd is probably because they know what's coming next.

[@Detrucci]

The whole song is intense. Its an emotional masterpiece for sure.

[@amax1229]

I thought that maybe some people who hadn't heard it before thought that was the end of the song, I don't know.

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

Pause away my friend, it is your reaction and you enjoy the music how you want it. This is a song the band enjoys not only as who would not strive to perform art like this but I am sure since it was a very personal statement by Tuomas they want to get it spot on every time. Listen to DPP in its entirety and then even Imaginaerum but with EFMB his writing is coming out of the deep depression and is filled with more joy and happiness.

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

Super reaction mate, and it is obvious why you have to rewind. This is a masterpiece, in so many ways, that being able to get it in first round is impossible. When you have heard it 10 - 20 times, it will still astound you, and maybe even bring you to tears earlier. First time a heard the heart beat stopping right after he cut his throught, and played it again and again, to more details. And Floor is the ultimate and probably the only performer who can do this masterpieces justice, is using all her nerd voice tricks, gestures, facial and body expressions - well in short. This is Nightwish. No one comes even close. Great reaction 👍👌🤘🤘🤘

Looking forward to your next reaction.

[@Thorgrim247]

Don't apologize for stopping. It's OK. Tuomas has a fascination for the ocean and watery depths in general. To him it represents the unknown, life, birth, and peacefulness. Tuomas uses terms like "Reach for beauty, find your shore" which to him means embrace life or death and find contentment or relief from anguish. One of Nightwish's early records is called Oceanborn. Scientific theory states that "all life originated in the oceans and spread to the land." We are all conceived in the amniotic fluid in the womb. Your will find many songs and lyric making references to oceans, rivers, and rain. I like your analysis of the middle section about a mermaid or Siren calling to Tuomas while he sits by the shore and contemplates his own death. Hoping that the Tide will come in and give him the death he always longed for! Water gives life and it would be so poetic for water to take life as well! This is an incredibly deep and dark song full of imagery and metaphors. A Masterpiece in every way. Well done Detrucci!

The craziest part to me is when you realize that from the moment the boy says "Now I have three minutes and counting", there is exactly 3 minutes into the song until the part where he kills himself. Tuomas is a genius.

[@Detrucci]

Yes, he really is

[@everdreamcosplay]

I do like that line, "I have but two faces / One for the world and one for God save me." Most people don't notice the "but". He's sort of apologizing for having ONLY two faces - one for the world where he has to be firm about the decision they made, and one for God filled with his private anguish. Who can't he face? Tarja? His friends? Himself? I don't know. Something to ponder. Fantastic reaction!

[@kdbadk]

The White Lands of Empathica is place in Stephen King's Gunslinger series (which is a fantastic read by the way). It's cool that Tuomas referenced it. Edited to add: "Nightfish" 🤣

The part with the whisper 'Now I only have 3 minutes and counting' is about the moment Tuomas fires Tarja. He's waiting for him to arrive (3 minutes and counting), but if there were another way to avoid this moment he'd full heartily taken that way (I just wish the tide would catch me first).

[@MB-wy3zf]

Detrucci you are missing out on one of the greatest bands ever. They are one of the best-selling music artists in the history of audio recording; various sources estimate the group's record sales at 200 to 300 million units worldwide. With RIAA-certified sales of 111.5 million units, they are the third-best-selling band and fifth-best-selling act in the US. Each of their nine studio albums placed in the top 10 of the Billboard album chart and six reached the number-one spot. They achieved eight consecutive UK number-one albums. Danny Carey said that he was influenced by John Bonham. Adam Jones said that he was influenced by Jimmy Page. Justin Chancellor said that he was influenced by John Paul Jones. MJK said that he was influenced by Robert Plant. I'd trust those guys. Start at track 1 of LED ZEPPELIN 1 and don't look back. ✌

[@Sithspit_Rogue]

I haven't seen anyone else point it out yet, but another bit of Tuomas' genius shows through in the recitation "Now I only have three minutes and counting"...from that point it's almost exactly three minutes to the end where he "kills" himself and the 2 1/2 heartbeats.

@@Syp74 Tough question because everytime I do a Nightwish reaction, that one ends up being my favourite haha. I dont think I can pick a favourite song but i think the reaction that surprised me the most was possibly Storytime. Im not sure id pick it as an absolute favourite song but it really lifted my mood on that day and so I will always remember it for that and now when I listen to it, it brings me back to that feeling. I think Ghost Love Score is the best performance and the song structure is perfection with it, Poet and The Pendulum is the masterpiece and now that I know the meaning, probably the most emotional and will always give me feels when I hear it now. With the story added to poet and the pendulum...it could be the best one. The Greatest Show on Earth is incredible too though, I love Troy and his instruments there...It really adds something extra special to that song. I still want to react to the Tampere version sometime. Devil and The Deep Dark Ocean i will always like too, it was my first one I reacted to and what a performance too.

Does anyone know what inspired these amazing lyrics? I think it was a period of writers block, introspection, self doubt, depression and a family who supported him in this dark times... But my guess is worth crap all.. It is just mindless speculation

That sums it up alot really. Depression and the apocalypse of the end of an era. Losing a huge part of your life (tarja) and just going really deep and dark in life. Sounds like his family was absolutely vital in keeping him just above water enough to crawl back and write this masterpiece. When you see Nightwish today, they really are a family and seeing them all consolidate Thomas in this song is beautiful.

Nobody going in to this video blindly is going to know there are 5 sections for comment breaks haha

@@Detrucci Sorry. Thought you said you had done your research, so I assumed you would know about the 5 sections. They are indicated in the on screen subtitles

[@Detrucci]

@@PhilH919 I did research on the backstory of the song, but i didnt open the video at all or ruin the actual song before i got to listen to it :) Sorry if that wasnt clear when I said it. Usually the research is just backstory to help me understand the song better.

Got to stop rewinding so much. Once is enough. Kind of gets tough to watch if we see the same thing over and over again. Do what you want as it's your channel but just some food for thought.

[@Detrucci]

Appreciate the feedback :) Thank you

unpopular opinion: Anette did it better. but fuck me, alright.

[@Detrucci]

I think it's a valid opinion. Nothing wrong with that at all

[@Telepuzique]

@@Detrucci ten years ago, I've seen them live with Anette. damn, I was having the time of my life. she was so warm and beautiful, smiling all along, being pure sunshine. can't get that from both snow queen Tarja and superduperpro Floor. they're both way into being a solid rocks they are. meanwhile I felt like I met a long time friend. you don't need to have an operatic or big ass vocal range to win a listener's heart. long story short, Anette is my Nightwish. and thank you for your support. appreciate it AND your reactions. you seem legit.

Obviously you didn’t do your research well enough😉. The song is all about Tuomas killing himself in the song, the pendulum is his weapon of choice. The song is much deeper than you think, it reflects his dark depression he went through for all the hate he got after having to fire Tarja. But I think you found that out by now😉.

[@Detrucci]

The only part of that statement i didnt find in research was the pendulum being his weapon of choice
