Vocal Coach Reacts to Last Ride of the Day by Nightwish at Wacken 2013

[@stormwatchman6232]

BIG thumbs up Elvann. Love the reaction, thanks again for your channel!

[@ElvannReacts]

Aww you're welcome!! :D

[@oneoddsockk]

“Wake up, dead boy. Enter adventureland”, has always been my favourite Nightwish line and is great as a ringtone. 🤟😀

[@ElvannReacts]

omg it's true I can really see that as a ringtone!!!! XD

[@warhammer5690]

Just a taste of Tuomas' creativity and metaphoric mind.

[@SideBurn12]

My personal belief is that that line is a small "reminder" that Tuomas tries to hold on to. Not to get dragged into the darkness that life, struggles and feelings can be (and the hardship he has endured), and strive towards wellbeing, new experiences, and yeah.. adventures =)

[@mangalover0149]

This song is one of my favourite Nightwish songs now. I listen to it almost everyday. It’s so uplifting. 5:35 - pretty sure that wasn’t in the original.

[@missrubyphoenix]

Loooove when Floor goes to Tuomas and sings to and with him for a bit before going back to the front with Marko ❤

[@sheilacorbin521]

The voice of an angel to badass rocker she sounds amazing in everything she sings , Voice is so pure , no manufacturered vibrato .Not to mention her control and power .Love this woman

[@ronaldboers8061]

I get the feeling that a song is actually written for Floor with every song she sings. :-)

[@jimmyboy131]

As others have stated before, "once Floor sings your song, it's no longer yours." I think that's why they say that. :)

[@sylverstar03]

Floor did an awesome job with this song! But then, she is great at everything she sings!!

[@AndrewRalte_97]

Exactly..much better than the original in my opinion...

[@ChrisPage68]

@@AndrewRalte_97 No question about it. Anette who? 😜

[@BastiXIII]

I really love this song it's so hype.

[@samijuo3069]

Love to see you peppy and enjoying without a doubt in the world. Keep it up!

[@terrytartu]

Floor perfected this. Great reaction too, your face looked so blissful with her vocals and energy of the band. You tube also has the "official live clip" put up by Nuclear Blast Records, not sure which one is best both are utterly perfect. Floor is seriously a goddess!

[@michaeldougherty2807]

That one was from Helsinki in November of 2012.

[@bobheslop8039]

This is such a fun song and Floor does what she always does great reaction ty :-) Liked your song btw

[@corneliusantonius3108]

This song was floored by Floor 😜🐱‍👤😎

[@martvil2018]

Really like your reactions!! Keep em coming! I wish you'd react to The Poet and The Pendulum at Wembley or She is My Sin at Wacken. Both amazing songs and Floor is just fantastic there.

[@ElvannReacts]

Poet and the Pendulum is coming this week!! She is my Sin could be in the next batch actually (I haven't yet made a filming schedule for when i'll be back to Finland) :D

[@ChrisPage68]

Elvann - are you aware of Camille and Kennerly, a.k.a. The Harp Twins? Their harp covers of metal songs are fantastic - especially "One" by Metallica. It has to be seen to be believed. Can you do a reaction to it, please?

[@BrianK_70]

Well I have now! Thank you! Just watched it. Seriously insane and amazing.

[@syyneater]

That cover is insanely impressive!

[@arnobenter]

Oh yeah, I know them also! They are absolutly amazing, and as a harp player herself, it would be a perfect fit for Elvann! Would love to see that:-)

[@ElvannReacts]

Actually yeah I do know them! ^^ I watched a couple of their videos! I have not planned to react to instrumental music or covers at this point in time but maybe eventually I can ^^

[@syyneater]

I can totally understand that. As someone with zero harp skills, I think it would be a hard thing to react to. To the layman, it sounded great but they aren’t very expressive. I can watch 2CELLOS doing something and marvel at how they headbang, not destroy the bow before the ends and they interact with each other through eye contact, etc..

[@johnlanham9057]

The new Nightwish Decades Live is out. The Floorgasm is mind bending. 10th man down fantastic vocal opening. 💙💙💙 All Hail Floor 💙💙💙

[@justinp7017]

Every song Floor sings is the way its supposed to be. You can't improve on perfection.

[@pauljohnson7382]

Floor adds to her vocals with outstanding facial expressions and overall gestures while Marco...damn...anyone else notice that he plays the bass guitar "rythmically" instead of "traditionally?"...awesome song and review 👍👍

[@Thorgrim247]

I think that is because his early musical training was as a classical guitarist. He is not a traditional bassist. However, it's all good.

[@ElvannReacts]

He has that quality of playing for the sake of music and not the one of his own ego. More musicians should follow his example imo

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

Marco brings the thunder when needed but I think his tone is more complimentary to the guitar(s) than drums, a lot like Glenn Cornick or Felix Pappalardi.

[@pauljohnson7382]

@@MrFrikkenfrakken- Wow, haven't thought of/played any Jethro Tull in a bit...Thanks for mentioning Glenn and Felix, although I'm not familiar with Felix (for now) I soon will be 👍

[@phantommare8778]

Nice reaction to the last song from their iconic live concert. By the way their Live from Buenos Aires DVD just released today and someone already put it on YT. I hope you did a reaction to some of it especially "Dead Poem's Boy", "10 Man Down" and "Come Cover Me" 👍

[@jmetallover]

First, nice to see someone else react the way I do to Nightwish (lip sync, hand gestures and head movements...nice to know we all have that same reaction). Second, it sounds like Floor's song is so very true as everything she does if it is not original then her 2.0 version becomes the one you remember and want to hear especially LIVE. Great reaction and I loved the surprised looks several times during the song. This was the perfect ending to a magical night and Floor and the band looked like they could of gone on for more if they wanted to. We will await your reactions to Wembley Arena and Tampere concerts next!!

[@villainouschrisk2709]

my job is to deliver food. after my last delivery, on my way home, i put on the Tampere version of this song. This is one of Tuomas's favorite songs to play. Very fitting as the last song of the concert. Great reaction as always.

[@ElvannReacts]

Thank you :D

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

Again Elvann you make the reaction so entertaining and informative, and of course I could watch your vids all day no matter the content ........... ;)

[@ElvannReacts]

Awwnn you're so sweet!! :D Thanks for being around!!

[@parrotheadlasvegas]

My favorite song for the end of a 600+ mile driving day 😎 Thanks again for another fabulous reaction 😁

[@jamesallen1153]

I don't wish for Floor's voice box. I wish for her cardio. I believe this song was #15 of the set and the band had as much energy as the 1st song.

[@saga0796]

Yup, floor made all nightwish songs her own, ...

[@JHX1]

I also liked the version from a few months before this with Alissa and Elize (and Tommy not having a clue of the lyrics and taking selfies) in Orlando, as end of the tour where floor started.

[@kimstrom7793]

One of my favourite songs from Wacken 2013! Unfortunately this is a rip from the Blu-ray that runs at only 96% of actual speed, but has been pitch-corrected. The Dvd-version is ok. Later releases from Tampere, Wembley and now Buenos Aires doesn't have this issue on any format.

[@anandnengnong]

It is such a joy watching your reactions and how you enjoy Nightwish lip syncing and smiling. Thank you and enjoy

[@TheStefan6969]

🤘🤘❤️🤘🤘 Yay!!! Glad you're doing this one!!! 😊🤘🤘

[@billattercliffe8655]

After listening to this version, I dug out my Imaginearium album and listened to Anette's version. I realize that people like to dump on Anette, but she did a very good job on this album. Her rendition is quite good. I've always enjoyed the two Anette era albums and still do. Something did just occur to me though. When listening to the Anette albums and the later Tarja songs, the orchestra and choirs are very forward in the mix. They have taken a backseat with Floor on the EFMB album and apparently even more so with Human. Nature. It is as if Tuomas decided that given the versatility of Floor's voice, she can provide much of the range, dynamics and colour previously supplied by the orchestra and choirs. We can see that transition when we compare Anette's Storytime to Floor's version. Probably explains why Tuomas is always grinning like a Cheshire Cat, whenever Floor is singing.

[@moimeme8827]

the entire live at wacken 2013 is amazing ;). But please, take a look at this great version: "The Poet And The Pendulum - Nightwish. HQ with lyrics. Live @ Wembley 2016". One of the best symphonic metal song !

[@sinisakrsman5734]

Wee all love your reaction. Just rock`s

[@arnobenter]

Oh yeah, dear Elvann, this is the way how it's supposed to sound, I fully agree! Like with every song when Floor sings it... And when you said at the end, give me a like so I can see I should do more videos like that... just look at it, 284 likes right now and zero dislikes... enough said... :-)

[@Thorgrim247]

You said it all Elvann. I totally agree. Great reaction video.

[@mattikarhunen7382]

I could have sworn that there were more than one vocalist here!

[@SandraNelson063]

If I hadn't been hopelessly in love with them before...Wacken 13 rouses up my inner 14 yr old, she staggers into walls, trips over chairs, flaps her hands and gibbers. I just can't trust her around breakable objects.

[@ArsRegnandi]

If you are fast (before it gets blocked) and don´t f.. it up, then you have one of the most amazing fan-singing experiences. Song is btw "I want my tears back", where Floor dances things out of herself.kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnybfmuVaKd3opY

[@SoiledWig]

"Last Ride" is a wonderful performance closer as a contrast to the pre-recorded orchestral outro music they have playing when they bow and whatnot. It's the music from the end of the Imaginaerum album, where all its prominent themes are compiled. But without that outro touch, i could see "Ghost Love Score" as an excellent finale. The thing about Floor is, her abilities to assume any style she wants to aside, she conveys an understanding of the lyrical content and fully communicates it in a way her predecessors couldn't, or wouldn't, do.

[@danellwein8679]

good one Elvann … thanks for this reaction to Last Ride ….

You're welcome Dan! :D

The song provides the basis of the climactic scene in the Imaginaerum movie so it seems reasonable that there was at least a thought about the nature of the song fairly early on even if not precisely when it was written.
