Hey you , want to try the pipes ? Talk to Troy directly , ask him ! He s a nice man , Greetings from nwAsw Sweden

[@taavipiipponen3085]

i love nightwish

[@mattgraham2835]

such extremely gifted musicians here with nightwish they are so good at setting the tone here this is gonna be an earworm such groovy visuals

[@garyakirsch]

Ouww a newww one! GoFundMe pipe fund for the lady, chaps? Sign me up Heline.

[@MarkusUbl]

That ever growing smile one gets when hearing a cool song that uses ones instrument of choice well. I can very much relate :)

[@michaelfrank2266]

I too like the Celtic sounds of the first part.

[@markschattefor6997]

I can't imagine Floor in a tutu on stage, she knows very good which designer to choose for her stage clothes.

[@zbygniewprlwytzkofsky6614]

I would love to see that 🤭

[@bobellis4690]

Floor in a leather tutu

[@RBR-lo2ei]

@@bobellis4690 And metal chains.

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

This is a really wonderful Celtic Jam. I knew you'll like it. The lyrics are inspired by the J.R.R Tolkien's famous fantasy stories. 😅👍

[@MegaDog555]

thats why i like Battlelore band

[@shawnbawden3601]

Floor’s tailor is Barbara of Royal Black Couture. Her work is stunning!

[@stpfs9281]

The squeeze bag pipes got your interest! Emppu's purple signature EV-1 gets rebuilt for each tour! They all look like they are having fun! "Rings of power" Tolkein. Tuomas adding words from many other songs "Neverland", etc.

[@craigbolton5093]

You introduced me to Nightwish long ago and for that I'll love you forever

[@warwickeioncampbell4737]

The guitar empuu is playing is his custom guitar (ESP Horizon, ESP EV-1) which he almost always plays.

[@cflyer550]

Thanks Heline, without you I would never have heard of this band. Will check them out more.

[@Ricardo-Morse]

I think Floor is more like a warrior Goddess. Amazing singer, stunning woman.

[@rnowak85]

Great Reaction! Enjoyed your smile. Elvenjig is not an actual Nightwish song, i.e. not on any album. It is based on a song from called Jigs from Troy's previous band Iona which was a progressive folk band. Elvenpath is from Nightwish's first album Angels Fall First.

[@eminabrestovac]

Elvenpath is my favorite NW song ❤❤❤ And that Elvenjig intro is such a perfect addition 😊

[@NickBR57]

Elvenjig was trad. then arr. Troy with a previous band and brought into the Nightwish set where it's always played with Elvenpath. But Elvenpath is an original, from the first demo tape Tuomas' made which went on to form the core of the debit album, Angels Fall First. Tuomas' wasn't too keen later and says Angels was the second bottom of his personal ranking of Nightwish albums: "We played Elvenpath years later on the Decades tour, and l can't understand how Floor was able to keep a straight face singing those lyrics - to her credit, she did! l just remember the kid that I was back then, writing those songs and I kind of miss that kid, because it was all about Donald Duck and fantasy books and snowmen and things fantastical. " The outfit is custom made by Royal Black Couture of Austria and is a one-off made to measure (as Floors outfits tend to be due to her size). They promised never to make another They are one of two costumiers for the current Human Nature tour.

[@kajlennartsson4234]

Hello Heline. We have two things in common. We are big fans of Nightwish and Dream Theater. I hope you get the opportunity to play together with them 🎸🎶🐶 💗💙

[@rickphil9999]

Hi again, Heline. This was such a fun double song. This was a combination of two separate songs. Elven Jig is my favorite of the two because, much like Last of the Wilds, it shows off the instrumental talent within this band. I loved your reaction to the whole thing. Thank you.

[@zbygniewprlwytzkofsky6614]

Headbanging on bagpipes! You have chosen the best version of this song, many reactors do the Bogota version, but Floor was sick there, and you can see it. Here she is at her best again... If you like to see more of Troy on his uilleann pipes you can stay at this wonderful show: Swan heart, the opening of BA2018. BTW did you notice that Troy is touching the holes in the low whistle (and his other types of whistles and uilleann pipes) not with his fingertips but between the first and second finger joint?

[@MikkoRantalainen]

Somebody claimed that average learning time for learning to play Uillean pipes is 23 years of training. I don't know if that's true but even Troy said in an interview that you have to be slightly insane to play that instrument because it's so hard to play.

[@coolgabe64]

Elvenpath : first song on the first album.

[@brianwillson9567]

Elvenpath from the first Nightwish album with Tarja. Just goes t show the evolution of the group. Troy with his instruments nowhere on the horizon when angels fall first recorded. Goddess Floor second singer still to come (Annette, the first ‘still t o come’). Kai not thought about, even Marko a later arrival, although he seemed to have been in the line up ‘for ever’. Only Emppu remains from Tuomas original group. And yes, elvenjig a ‘later addition’.

[@themaun]

To be fair, as good as Floor is, this song is Tarja's... no one is able to perform this song as she did and is my favourite rendition.

[@markogronfors3826]

Kiitos Heline sekä reaktiostasi ja kappaleesta

[@snuffyupagus2216]

You may like some of Eluveitie, a bit heavier music although loads of flute, whistle and gurdys etc. Thanks for uploading the travel vids as well as these reaction ones!

[@Bolo2028]

Thanks! Your commentary was excellent.

[@HelineFay]

Thank you!

[@davestubbs7274]

Another great reaction👍😊

[@Anon_571]

It would be really cool to hear you cover "La leyenda de la Llorona" by Mago de Oz.

[@headlibrarian1996]

In the Arms of Mara by Grai is awesome folk metal. It’s in Russian but the harmony is great even if you can’t understand it, plus it has flute and violin.

I think You would look astonishing in that outfit Heline. With your long light hair you would be a true Nordic Goddess. ❤

[@BlackTecc]

Great song and reaction

[@christianmeyer6724]

Dear BlackTecc, just let me find ONE oportunity to disagree 😂 Well, guess won't happen 😊 Me just "hooked" on Heline's activities, music, vlogs (chasing sheep included) kindness, doggos, Egg AND fine community. Okay, NW as well 👏👍

[@edwardonion5331]

Love your got a whistle,you can get smaller ones now😊

[@avery7001]

They're after me lucky charms 😍 ✨ 💕 🎉

[@avery7001]

I Lo❤e Helina

[@merowinger4802]

There is a swiss folk metal band called Eluveitie. In addition to standard metal instruments you can hear hurdy gurdys, tin and low whistles, backpipes, celtic harp and violine. It's an amazing combo even if a studion mix is the recomended go to in my opinion. If you want to check out one of their songs "Rebirth" is a good one to start with.

[@HelineFay]

Yes, this is on my list already and will do that asap ^_^

[@erickvermeulen9734]

On the Ommadawn album by Mike Oldfield, Paddy Moloney plays uilleann pipes, on his album Voyager uilleann pipes were played by Liam O'Flynn and Davy Spillane (but both uncredited I think). Maybe searching for those names will lead you to more great music.

[@mikeb4061]

Hi Heline just found your channel lots of flute and outdoors stuff we all need to reconnect with the earth. You tried Symphonic metal try some folk metal with flute Eluveitie Rebirth they are a Swiss band celtic vibe. Aidus is good and Exile of the gods, Rebirth has the most Flute tho.

[@effbee56]

This is somewhat akin to prog rock from 50 years ago. Mixture of traditional instruments and electric guitars. Battle of Evermore and many Tull songs. Folk jazz blues and eveefieval sounds combined. In fact LZ may have been the first folk rock metal band.

[@lianharold823]

If I'm not mistaken, all Floor's outfit design/made by her fans.. someone will correct me if I'm wrong

[@Songfugel]

I am usually not a fan of Floor era performing this song, but here Marco is "fixing" Floor's tonal mismatch with this song amazingly well and it really works

[@wanmac31]

😊🇫🇮💙🪄🎼✨💯🤘

[@MegaDog555]

hello Heline

[@juhavantanen2644]

please whatch finnish band ;sonata arctica and full moon

[@TaverenTech]

I think you should have a go fund me for your own uilleann pipes! It might be worth it just to see you try to learn to play them!! Apparently they are very difficult to play.

[@MycontentisgoldJerryGold]

Perhaps ullian pipes can be rented, rather than being purchased?

[@Mars-is4un]

🤗🍒🤘🏻😘

[@jamesjarvis5018]

Have you done Along comes Mary by The Association?

[@pauliketola6550]

Moi. Vaikutatko Suomessa? Teen esiintyjänryhmäni kanssa monenlaisia juttuja ja kiinnostaisi saada Sinut mukaan. Kunhan tiedän, niin onko edes mahdollista...Kiitos Sinulle!

[@esalehtismaki]

Uilleann pipes aren't that expensive. About the same as other wind instruments. Of course it's not something you just buy out of interest, but it's not an especially expensive instrument.

[@pauliketola6550]

Moi. Niin hianoo kuulla kun joku The Islanderin kohdalla lausuu oikein Tampere ja Ratina!! Tämän kohdalla huomioni kiinnitti kun tykkäsit Empun kitaran väristä. Niin minäkin. Kaikkea hyvää Sinulle!.

[@flampy1]

should watch the other version of this song from bogota. it seems to me to have better instrumentals in the beginning but worse floor vocals. a great version!

[@aboomination897]

I've seen so many bands live, why did I never bother with Nightwish? Hmrph

[@postulusml]

You are so beautiful.

[@magaisacult2023]

When I see/hear Nightwish I am in awe of the amount of talent on the stage.

[@Songfugel]

Yeah, it is easily the most concentrated group of equal talent in one band that I can think of

[@grabtharshammer]

I know your first language is not English, but just to be a little pedantic :) Shouldn't it be Flautist not Flutist (that is US English) - loving your reactions though xx

[@michaelfrank2266]

Embrace the errors and you will enjoy her more. (It is an acquired taste. I urge you to acquire it.)

[@avery7001]

Randy Rhodes was the best Everything else is boring 😅❤😊🎉😢😅❤❤❤
