Floor Jansen - Our Decades In The Sun (Live)

It was an absolute honor when ‪@samanthasteenwijk‬ performed "Our Decades In The Sun" of ‪@nightwish‬ in Dutch during Beste Zangers. She inspired me to perform it live as well, but in its original language. I hope you enjoy this live performance of the Nightwish song, "Our Decades In The Sun". The is a beautifully written song by Tuomas and pays tribute to our parents. 🤗 For me specifically, the song is about the distance between me and my family when I am on tour. 😣 So performing it during my solo tour always touched me.

Lyrics Our Decades In The Sun:
I climbed off your back
Not so long ago
To a blooming meadow
To a path you’d made for the lightest feet
Mother
I am always close to you
I will be waving every time you leave
Oh, I am you
The care, the love, the memories
We are the story of one
Father
I am always close to you
I will be waving every time you leave
Oh, I am you
The care, the love, the memories
You are forever in me
This verse we wrote
On a road home
For you
All this for you
Our walk has been sublime
A soaring ride and gentle lead
You have the heart of a true friend
One day we’ll meet on that shore again

[@missrubyphoenix]

Since I don't have a relationship with my father, I completely dedicated this song to my mother, my goddess, a warrior, who raised 4 kids by herself, two of us disabled, and unfortunately my older brother passed when he was still a baby, but she endured it all, and it's my everything

[@thomasauer9370]

this comment shows that mothers are one of the strongest, most capable beings on this earth. enduring every hardship life throws their way. always and only having the wellbeing of their offspring in mind. long live mothers everywhere, blessed be their souls!!

[@amcavallaro]

Floor is the best female singer on the planet!

[@salazarkrautz9913]

Tuomas is an enormous singer iteraciones... But what a pleasure must be composing for Floor Jansen. There is nothing you can imagine she can't Sing.

[@videolugtnicht7378]

One more reason to forever fall in love with this beautyfull woman!

[@ktompa77]

Tuomas = amazing songwriter. This one always hits hard.

[@jennyvledder3271]

This is a Floor song, not Tuomas

[@yuriperez1221]

​@@jennyvledder3271 nope, Tuomas wrote all endless forms most beautiful songs. Marko is credited too on the oficial info. In fact, Tuomas is the main and only composer in Nightwish. Stop lying.

[@ktompa77]

@@jennyvledder3271 you must be a new Floor fan.... but before pointing fingers, check the facts first. I bought the vinyl of the album this song is in ("Endless forms most beautiful", as Yuri already said) when it came out. This is VERY ΜUCH a Tuomas song, as 99,5% of Nightwish's music, for whom Floor has been singing for over a decade now, but with no contribution on lyrics or music thus far. If you have read Floors' comments about THIS video, she says so herself, that Tuomas wrote it.

[@mattia_eliasmusic]

@@jennyvledder3271 no...this is a Nightwish song from the album Endless Form Most Beautiful!...this is a reinterpretation of Floor solo concert

[@KanashimiMusic]

@@yuriperez1221 Tuomas is not the ONLY composer in Nightwish, but he's definitely responsible for like 95% of the music. There are a few songs that are written by Emppu or Marko though.

[@jamesytgaming]

My soul rejoices whenever I listen to Floor's amazing and angelic voice. Who can disagree with me when I say that Floor was the best vocalist for Nightwish ? Not saying that Tarja and Annette are bad. They are also amazing vocalists, a world class in their own way. But personally, Floor makes Nightwish a much more celebrated band ❤️

[@MOON-SHADOW-ANNE]

Tuomas & Floor bring tears to the eyes in the most wonderful ways, both musically and lyrically. Two Empathic souls who understand how to convey Emotions.

[@JustJenReacts]

I'm not crying rivers, YOU ARE!!! 😭😭😭😭

[@lorimiller8297]

Gorgeous. I’m not crying you’re crying. 😢 This hit me hard. Both of my parents have passed and I miss them terribly. The only solace I have is knowing I will be reunited with them soon. Their legacies live on with me.

[@Slick-ng5kf]

Other singers may sing the notes of a song but the way you deliver every note the way the song demands to hit us all in whatever way it does is what separates you from everyone else. No singer has ever captured my heart and soul with their vocals like you have. This song never fails to make me tear up. Beautifully written and sung. 🤘

[@tonybell9551]

Well said!

[@e.n.e3303]

3:42 that note is so perfect !! And emotional

[@rockchickliz2603]

This song always always makes me cry. Not from sadness but the love I have for my sister who is my everything. Thank you Floor and Tuomas. Much love! 💜

[@janihaavisto79]

Hello from Finland! Good to hear this song finally. I know Samantha sang this in Beste Zangers, but it was in Dutch. Also much nicer to hear Floor sing this since Tuomas has written this song. Thank you Floor. Stay safe all.

This is my catharsis. Thank you Floor. Thank you Tuomas.

Beautiful nothing better than Floor Jansen breaking me with her vocals as only she can. Huge shoutout to Tuomas for writing such a wonderful song for our parents that I can hear to remember mine.

[@badsiony]

I have trouble listening to this song since I have next to no relationship with my parents, so it always makes me sad, especially with Floor singing with so much emotion. Hits hard. But beautiful song, thanks Floor, even if I can't hear this one. 💔

[@floorfan6602]

Every time I hear Floor sing, her voice penetrates my soul

[@Ireksojkowski]

Beautiful song, Floor you are not only a Goddess, you are a great, very great artist, I always listen to you with my mouth open, you are just GREAT

[@erikapetschauer2963]

I used these lyrics for my dads card when he passed. I wrote them on the back of a tree I drew… He greeted my mother in a sweet celestial embrace. Too good for this world. I miss him. I miss them. Thank you for singing so beautifully .

[@Laura_ME.]

Love you Floor! What a song, what a voice. 💜🤘🏻

[@ettorereventon2667]

My sister and I got Nightwish tickets for my father's 50th birthday, which was coincidentally the day before this video was released. On the package we wrote part of the lyrics of this song but changing the first person to second person ("we are always close to you" instead of "I am always close to you" for example).+ thank you Nightwish for this amazing anthem to parents. without them we wouldn't be here, and this song encapsulates every positive feelings that a happy son or daughter could feel for their proud parents.

[@thomassegelberg5889]

You are forever in me.... Best words ever.

[@jamesschwarz007]

This is such a beautiful tribute and such a beautiful version. Thank you so much for singing this, Floor! I'm 58 and my Mom died 37 years ago and my Dad 23 years ago. They never knew my kids, their grandchildren. The sharp edges are gone by now and I don't know better than that they're gone, but I still think of them quite often and I still miss them from time to time.

[@SimonMezgec]

Always a special occasion when Floor uploads. Absolutely beautiful, as ever! ❤

[@davidamadeo4674]

Floor's voice covers all the ranges in this beauty song. There is no singer today that matches Floor's. Most all of the female singers today use auto- tune. Auto- tune sucks.

[@Yodjdle]

Such a beautiful song written by Tuomas and here sung by Floor. Very deep and emotional. I always think about my parents when listening to it.

[@ibuprofen_]

Your voice gives me the same sensation as the comfiest blanket on the couch in front of a sparkling fireplace in a winter storm.

[@millennial_fairy]

This song is beautifully written and Floor ‘s voice gives me chills every time ! Also the backup vocalists harmonize quite nicely with her !

[@mathel2009]

[@jadencleveland2735]

The part “One day we’ll meet on that shore again” always makes me cry. Over five years ago my dad had an accident where he has sustained severe brain injuries and is now severely disabled. I don’t know why but that line always makes me think of him, how he used to be. I love him so much 🥹❤️

Yaaay! Although now the song just reminds me of the emotional onslaught at Hertme

[@BrendonChase_2015]

Memories of my father and a carefree childhood when I was playing underneath his examination bench (I believe in English it's called "table" for some reason) even when patients were on it, haha. He didn't have a job, being a doctor was his calling. From home births (one year he did 100+ in the small village were we lived) to just being there with his patients in their final hours - also preferably at home and everything in between those extremes.. he dedicated his life to it. He died in the fall of 2019. I still feel his absence and will always treasure the wealth of dear memories. Cheers from Amsterdam (& see you there soon!) 🤘

Very beautiful and heartfelt sung. I have a very emotional connection with this song. So when Floor poured her emotion in her voice I couldn't hold back the tears anymore, because one of my best friends, both his parents died last year, in a couple of months after eachother. My biological father died, when I was a little over 1 years old, and my mother had cancer, but with a lot of treatments(radiation, chemo, and immunotherapy)she is now cancer free.
