Ex Metal Elitist Reacts to Tarja "The Unforgiven"

[@SinSorrowEU]

This reaction, full of emotion. Personal. Thank You. ..and yes, this version by Tarja s just.. well, your emotions captured it. A masterpiece. ..might be my favorite song, ever.

[@bridgetmccracken1381]

Never apologize for feeling emotion, we are all Human!!! Tarja's arrangement of this song is perfect and her vocals are stunning and sorrowful. As much as I love her in Nightwish, I love her even more as a solo artist

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

much love friend! Ya this was great

[@karadenizin-kizi]

I love Tarja's solo career, she puts music into this world that no one else would even think of doing, and she does it beautifully! Her voice is stunning and I love how she utilises it to colour this performance with so many emotions ❣ Simply love her

[@stefanjuhasz7236]

Tarja has made me cry many a time with such stunningly beautiful music and that voice. How much more emotional it must be for you with such an attachment and connection to the song. To me, the best music stirs strong emotional reactions and on that reckoning Tarja must perform the best music.

[@larryzigler6812]

No one go's deeper than the divine TARJA, no one. THANKS for your reaction. Went to a TARJA concert JUNE 30th meet and greet too !!!!!! A most fabulous happiest day in my life. !!!!!!!! ☮☮💘💘☮☮💘💘

[@angiewegenerdjmetalamazon4468]

Saw Tarja at a festival in Germany last year and she was great. :D Love her.

[@tuuli4002]

Thank you for doing this!❤ I can see how much this song means to you and I appreciate that you still had the courage to do it. Music is full of emotions so why shouldn't we feel it. I am sure you can see it but Tarja also poured her heart into this song. She has been a Metallica fan for decades. If you want to see, there are other good covers that Tarja did during this concert like Linkin Park's Numb and In Flames' Alias.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

appreciate the love so much.

[@melissaramey1391]

Not silly at all and no reason to be sorry. Cosmic, I love how vulnerable you are with your emotions and how much you share your life and thoughts with us. The power of music and how it stirs our memories from beyond and how it makes us so emotional is amazing, but can be heartbreaking at the same time. This was a wonderful version of this song. Thank you for sharing what this song means to you. Stay amazing! Melissa 🤘☮

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Much love dear friend. I really appreciate those words❤

[@WNYretiree]

Is sharing your feeling ever not awkward? You make yourself vulnerable and that is, I think, always uncomfortable. But, remember that all of us have felt that way, at one time or another. We're with you, we all understand, and we are al grateful that you have decided to take this journey. As for Tarja, I don't think I have ever heard her sing better. This was outstanding.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

thanks friend. I truly appreciate you.

[@OhyesIdid1]

Oh, wow! I have not heard this version and I'm not going to lie. I fell instantly in love with it. There is something magical about a 'metal' song that is orchestrated like this--but then, symphonic metal is one of my first loves. (It was Nightwish that took my hand and took me from North America over to Europe and introduced me to so many other bands and subgenre's of metal.)

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

It was sooo good

[@Kathrynn131]

I really needed to hear this today . Thank you so much, Cosmic for sharing this and what it means to you, personally. The path through grief and loss isn't linear, and sometimes it just hits us out of the blue. Music gives us a safe space to feel it and express it. I don't know what we would do without it.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Ya music expresses what is hard to say.

[@jamesnelson1968]

As always, a major talent, quality work at anything she does. I do not compare those at the top of their game with others in the same space, I just enjoy the overall ability. BTW I didn't get a notification of this post, I get about half of yours, though I am subscribed.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

youtube is very bizarre, I'm glad you are here though dude and for the love and support man.

[@elvwood]

Feeling for you - thank you again for being so open. I was thinking about the _Rivers_ reaction, and why I watched it. It's come up on other channels I'm subscribed to and I've skipped it, and the only thing I can point to that is different is you. You've commented how we make a difference to you, but I hope you realise it's a two-way street! See you again soon.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Dude, I know it seems that I repeat what I say, but I just hope you know how much that means to me. Thanks John for being you and being here.

[@tapio7133]

When heavy music is stripped of its instuments those songs are usually played by, we hear melodies so clearly and start really appreciate those who can compose good music.

[@melicriszoe1]

Que lindo cuando una canción despierta nuestras emociones y este cover es hermoso!! Tarja es una artista maravillosa! Yo perdí a mi papá hace poco tiempo y cada vez que escucho stairway to heaven no puedo evitar llorar.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

so much love for you friend! ❤❤❤

[@FromTheHeartWoodMK]

An absolutely beautiful reaction! You brought me to tear with your own. Though we are the same age, I haven't lost my father yet, so I'm sorry for your loss! I know that when that day comes I will lose not just my father, but a part of myself as well. This song is also an incredibly emotional one for me for my own reasons, so i loved your reaction to this one! Never feel awkward about showing your true emotions, those who can't handle it don't deserve you and those that would make fun of you will not last long in this beautiful council you have created! Rock on dude, keep it up!

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Hey dude much love! I really appreciate the kind words friend. Reach out if you ever wanna chat.

[@VivianaRaquelGonzalez-1988]

Emocionante reacción 😢 tengo mucha empatía con el reactor y no se si se dio cuenta pero Tarja también estaba emocionada hasta las lágrimas, ella también había perdido a su madre cuando estaba como vocalista principal en Nightwish y entró en una etapa de depresión por que no soportaba la ausencia de su madre!!! Ojalá no este pasando por esto amigo!!! Se que no existen palabras de aliento aunque ya haya pasado algunos años yo entiendo eso y creo que Tarja también asi se sintió esta canción con mucho dolor y sentimiento 🖤 mucha fuerza amigo💪🏻 a pesar de las emociones me encantó tu reacción 🥀 desde Paraguay 🇵🇾 soy nueva subscriptora 🥀

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

You are so kind! Thank you so much for sharing❤

[@tuijakarttunen9164]

This is simply amazing. So beautiful. I love her vocals and combined with the instrumentation... breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you for the reaction. Thank you for shearing. Please react to Poets of the fall performing Angel in the Alexander Theater Sessions in Helsinki. I believe you might like it.

[@aleksb8577]

some songs hit different when you hear them, they touch the spot in the head that is not up front, it's hidden/passive love the reaction man, also the unforgiven II is right there..

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

both great songs. Appreciate you dude

[@deliathorja442]

Ohne dich (Rammstein) from the same concert is amazing too. She's one of the greatest voices and i was lucky to see old Nightwish in concert with her and Marko and Jukka just before she was let go.

[@michaelrainbow4203]

Right on, brother. Thank you for sharing your reaction to a song that means so much to you. Thank you for your profound words. Songs like this one are pure magic... in how they can touch the heart of sorrow. Much love, my friend.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

appreciate you friend, I really do.

[@agab.2200]

Tarja and people responsible for all arrangements on this album are incredibly good on interpretation. Great chose of songs and Tarja delivers all of this just perfectly, in her own way. It's more like a tribute not cover.

[@tapanim6576]

Amazing.

[@jkopacetick]

Songs have a way to express what a heart wants to say, but a brain can not. When there's no words... It sucks to lose a parent at any age, yet alone as a teen. I've shared glimpses of myself as well, things I can't express but feel. I continue to share as I can, as I hope we all do. I hope you're OK and in a good place after this Cosmic, ty for sharing. ❤ and ✌️ to you Cosmic and to all.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Always good friend❤ Much love to you man

[@Songfugel]

Absolutely, and I think no one does it quite like Tuomas from Nightwish. His compositions have a way of connecting to the subconsciousness that can take you on an emotional journey, it feels like he isn't composing music, he is composing emotions

[@jkopacetick]

@Songfugel Agreed friend, Tuomas has the ability to do both with his musical composition and his poetic lyrics. Somehow, he can mesh both together into a sum greater than its parts. ❤️ and ✌️ to you!

[@glendawatson331]

Apocalyptica has a great cello version of Unforgiven Instrumental

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

oh god, that will wreck me.

[@an0ana]

I'm very sorry for your loss ♥ Some songs I have to absolutely avoid because they remind me of someone that I'd rather not think about. Within Temptation's "Memories" is one that will make me cry every time.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Ohhh I get it so much! Much love to you friend❤

[@tamashii6670]

Thank you for this reaction, especially that it was so hard for you. It's amazing cover, Tarja did amazing job. I don't know what connection this song have with your father, but I understand how it is when you can't listen to music because of someone close to you who died. For me it's really hard to listen to all Metallica and Queen songs, especially Queen, because of my mom, she was big fan of both bands and she died 3 years ago... It's really painful for me to listen to these bands... Btw, I'm kinda new on your channel, now I'm new subscriber. :) If I can share with you one song that squeezing my heart every time I'm listen to it, I want to recommend song "Kowarete Iku Sekai" by band Girugämesh, it was japanese Visual Kei band (Visual Kei is japanese movement as music, fashion and subculture), this song is very emotional and I've heard it soooo many times, but it still get me every time... There is music video with english subs, so please, if you can and if you want of course, react to version with english subs. Oh, and it can be not your fault about deleted comment, KZbin bot deleting maaaany comments, so... You probably can see all deleted comments in KZbin studio or somewhere. And I'm really sorry for my bad english it's not my native language and I know I'm bad at it. :/

Hey Cosmic, Apology NOT accepted, you have nothing to apologise for! You knew before this reaction started how it was going to affect you, we didn't and what we have witnessed is some one brave enough to pull it off. No need to hide, you spilled your heart out to the world on youtube, I know for a fact I couldn't do it. I have songs that affect me in similar ways, my way of dealing with it is not to listen to them. May seem a bit odd I know, but it is what it is. You have been churning out 2, 3 sometimes 4 songs a day, take a bit of time for yourself, take your foot off the gas. We need your quality, not quantity. Take care my friend.

@@TheWolffAndTheMelody Ty for saying so! I sent you some "words" via text...

[@Songfugel]

Not a fan of this version, the instrumentation is good, but I think Tarja's emotional interpretation of the song and the emphasis on syllables is off for me. It is beautiful, but it feels like the emotional message is totally different At certain parts this version sounds pretty great, but at times it sounds meh at most, due to the above reason. The reason I don't give more credit to the classical instrumental portions of this song, is that Apocalyptica simply raised the bar sooo high for this song in that regard ps. my heart goes out for you in your sorrow, never be afraid to show emotions if they are genuine, which yours seem to be

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

to be honest it was the music was the best part and most moving.
