Hello! I'm Andy - a semi-professional singer-songwriter from the UK, based in Germany. I'm a solo artist as well as vocalist of a rock band. I also teach English Language at university level, and this semester, due to covid-19 restrictions forcing an online semester on us, I did a special online version of my course "The Language of Songwriting."
Alongside a bunch of songwriting challenges, part of the final project included the option of making a reaction/review video to a song that my students particularly enjoy, discussing what elements of the song(writing) are special to them. I never give out tasks I'm not willing to do myself, so I recorded one of my own (Ghost Love Score by Nightwish, also on my channel). I put it on KZbin for fun to see whether there was interest in this kind of video, and I was really pleasantly surprised at the positive responses! So I've gone ahead and made some more!
In contrast to the many wonderful reactors out there, I'm reviewing a song I already know well. My reactions, therefore, are not as spontaneous or sensational as those of professional reactors ;-) Would you like more? Then put those thumbs up and hit that "Subscribe" button, and comment with what you'd like to see!

Jukka had to learn to play the brushes for this song😳

[@erchl54]

Nigtwish can do anything and do it well. I love the present version of Nightwish better. Thanks Andy!

Best performance by Annette as no need for power and in key.

[@JanOlofSvensson]

Another great song with Anette is Escapist. Some other nice laid back songs: Amanda Jenssen - Happyland: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eH67i5qwjtOtos0 Miss Li - My Heart Goes Boom (Official Video): kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2nRnndtjtpkhck Lisa Ekdal - Give me that slow knowing smile (Intimate live session): kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmWxhKJ6m82bhZI

Yeah, I really like this beautiful song, so different... I pay a visit onto your discord server if I can find it ;o)

Added it to the links list in the video description 👍🏻

Discord link on Nightdreamers reacticide is invalid and I can't find anything by searching. Can you put an invite link here, perhaps?

[@andyjonesofficial]

Found the problem - the links were set at only being valid for 24 hours. Here's a permanently valid link: discord.gg/UT5Czd5yqa

[@AnOldGreyDog]

@@andyjonesofficial Found it, thanks. You'll see me as 'oldgreydog'. I'm still a tad uncomfortable on Discord and Twitch, so I'm more likely to hang out here, but I'll pop in when I can.

[@andyjonesofficial]

Glad it worked! Discord is great for community and direct interaction. Might even set up a sporadic video chat with subscribers there at some stage. If you're struggling with anything, you're welcome to send a direct message there 👍🏻

[@AnOldGreyDog]

@@andyjonesofficial Thanks. It's mostly just that I'm feeling my age a bit. I'm old enough to be uncomfortable at jumping into ongoing conversations and I'm not used to that style of interaction. Also, finding it hard to follow conversations, especially on Nightdreamers, for example, as there are so many people and things move quickly. Comments sections are easier, as you don't feel like you're butting in, and can compose your thoughts 'offline' so to speak. Still, nothing ventured...

Opera Rock. From Spain please. React to Camilo Sesto: Getsemani ( live 1977 ).

[@FlameCold258]

Highly recommend Angelina Jordan who came out with "All I ask" Adelle cover - yesterday - Live video! You should look for better vocals for a long time!

[@Drinckx2]

I really like this song but I’m not blown away by her voice - it seems a bit too light for this kind of music. Would love to hear a female singer with a really good mezzo or even contralto and a smoky delivery. It is a little odd that some of the best Nightwish songs were written when she was in the band.

[@Klojum]

There are also live versions with Floor (and more Emppu antics). This one for example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4XNdpmFn6yXmac

@@Klojum OMG so much better! thanks for the link! stunning!
