Flutist reacts to Nightwish - High Hopes (Pink Floyd cover) | This made me emotional

[@jonno55]

For all my life (69 y old Dutch man) I am a fan of PF and have seen them several times. Nightwish I got to know after Floor's participation in the Dutch show Beste Zangers. For me this is the ultimate tribute from an exceptional band to an exceptional band!

[@Julian-bq9qv]

The lyrics were actually a heart touching memorial to their deceased band mate, Richard Wright. I think Nightwish did a phenomenal interpretation of the emotive depth of the song.

[@Aenea-de9vy]

Marko’s voice speaks volumes in this one. Just epic, by all standards!

[@terric703]

I still get chills when Marko goes high and clean.

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

For me this is the best tribute ever. 😎👍

[@christianmeyer6724]

👏👍🤘🎶👏👏

[@roostj]

This one and The Warnings (ft Alisia Cara) Enter Sandman

[@normanroscher7545]

Yes, two good examples have already been named. But also excellent: Nickelback honoring ZZ Top, playing Sharp dressed man.

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

@@normanroscher7545 Yeah, it's also surprisingly good.

[@NickBR57]

For me, better than the original, speaking as a fan from the early 70s More emotion, more dynamics and Marco's phenomenal vocals. Plus Emppu can play anything Gilmour can. Pink Floyd linked this video on their own site for many years

[@michaellord569]

You need to see Pink Floyd do it! So much more depth!

[@Jiipee81]

I was in that concert.. Bitter sweet one.. Tarja´s last show with Nightwish.. But still one freaking good show.. Got blown away so many times that i lost count!

[@thegirl.frombackthen]

You are incredibly lucky, my friend. Also, I'd like to know: How did you feel after finding out Tarja was fired just the next day? I've always wondered what it must feel like to experience that first hand.

[@majbrat]

Its just superb.

[@busher69]

Usually, only a fool covers a Pink Floyd song. Rarely does any good come from it. Then there's Nightwish. This is simply beyond words. Stunning is all I can come up with.

[@Thorgrim247]

The lyrics in this song are metaphorical and referring to when Pink Floyd was a young close knit band. Recalling the fond memories of previous musical dreams together. Just like Nightwish was about to embark on after this final performance. Marko can really bring it. There is a dark and foreboding mood in this song. The end was only a few minutes away. Loved it Heline.

[@damienmaynard8892]

Even the circle light behind and over them hearkens back to Pulse concert. Truly a tribute! The guys all shine without a lady up front!

[@BlackTecc]

Ah, so good

[@cosmicdebris5260]

So happy you turned us on to Nightwish! thanks Heline! You are the coolest!🦄

[@larryd4352]

Jukka, the drummer, did suffered from chronic migraines. I read that he was getting very little REM sleep each night! I understand quite well. This version is really a.Pink Floyd tribute! I love.Pink Floyd...as one of.my siblings turned me onto them many years ago!

[@YNGWIE998]

You are only human to feel emotional during this amazing performance of a Pink Floyd song. If you didn't know, you would be forgiven for thinking that this song was one of theirs, it was so well executed. Emppu really stepped up to the mark to do justice to David Gilmore's guitar solos in this track, Emppu really made it his own. Then we come to Marko's vocal, breathtaking, while also playing bass guitar! Tuomas perfectly arranged the backing keyboards as he always does, and of course Jukka fighting with his insomnia and migraines, immaculately played the drums giving this song a perfect platform.

You are the most beautiful Finnish Princess !!!

[@jac2250]

Thanks!

[@HelineFay]

Thanks for the support!

[@Exiletheheretic]

There you have it. A finish person getting emotional.

[@anterohoo7554]

Nightwish and Pink Floyd, legendary bands - you got to love them! Lovely emotional and true reaction from you - thank you. Band really shines here, and Emppu´s guitar work here is absolutely wonderful with the slow moody tone and expertise - Emppugasm!

[@christianmeyer6724]

Agree 💯 percent 👏👍 especially highlighting Emppu so rightfully 🎸🤘👏

[@mattwilcoxuk]

This was a great cover. Along with Walking in the Air, and Phantom of the Opera from this era.

[@Vikingcat01]

Welcome to the world of Nightwish Heline .You are now officially a fan I hope ?Watching your emotions made me emotional also. Kiitos 💖 🐾 👌

[@christianmeyer6724]

Absolutely, agreed !!!

[@ManuelGuajardo-zd7hx]

Great reaction to your fellow Finnish country men nightwish Helene. Kiitos Your new subscriber wintersun Alex USA ❄️ ❤️

[@corotto2538]

Its just amazing❤

[@dmj4966]

Pink Floyd in my top 3 bands ever. that said, this is my favorite version of this song, period, and if Marco was still with NW it would be amazing to see them do a full PF tribute concert.

[@jamminen74]

Great! Seems like Marco gets really more comfortable as the pitch and volume rises

[@justitia257]

Epic cover

[@robertsheeler321]

Nightwish put out there 1st single from the upcoming album yesterday , its a music video .

[@jroutasula5250]

To me it sounds more Nightwish without video. Video is very "nice" but takes space from song.

[@Nyarlathotep_Flagg]

His voice is perfect for the lyrics, he gives it all the right oomph. The lyrics really speak to you, and for me it brings out nostalgic memories, of times when grass was indeed greener, the light brighter, the days sweeter, and the nights a wonder - With friends around me. A time before a lot of the excessive/reckless construction projects, madness, blatant political falsehoods, division, scamming, lost wisdom, injustice, broken bonds, and institutional dysfunctions/corruption of today. I don't think most realize just how much these things have changed in the last 20-30 years. I've lived through them, I've seen them change, I've seen thing deteriorate, and I pity the youth of today. But I pity some of those who can recall better times even more in some ways, we will have to live with the knowledge of what was lost. Having experienced better days.

[@Darnaguen]

Heavy and painful, yes. That's what it felt like at Hartwall Arena that night as well, to the extent it made people nervous. For a reason, as it turned out. I'll never forget the feeling. Jukka having a migraine is a weird urban legend, though, that started on KZbin a few years ago. Not rooted in reality whatsoever, but people like to spread the story around.

[@michaelfrank2266]

Animals 1977 is the last Pink Floyd I own. My preference is for the older Pink Floyd when the band took risks. I had to find a studio version because I have never heard this song. I do find this Nightwish version to have a better sound than the original studio.

[@randalladams7692]

Pink Floyd version is way slower love this it's haunting sounding love his voice too you look nice today keep rocking

[@jroutasula5250]

Kiitos tästä. Näin coverista tehdään oman kuuloinen kunnioittamalla alkuperäistä. Nightwish olisi mestariluokassa tällä porukalla ilman lahjakasta naissolistiakin. Nykyinen kokoonpano tarvitsee solistin ja onneksi se on Floor Jansen. Hyvää alkavaa kesää sinulle!

[@jeannettesimpson9778]

At the end of the concert they gave Tarja a letter of dismissal from the band. They had no idea if Nightwish could go on. It was a poignant moment for them all.

[@ManuelGuajardo-zd7hx]

And I have some suggestions Heline for another Finnish band wintersun. My suggestion for you to react to is wintersun sons of winter and stars 1.5 official music lyric video. Then next is wintersun time live rehearsal video at Sonic pump studio in Helsinki Finland. So Heline if you love nightwish then you will love wintersun. Send me a reply back to see what you think. Kiitos wintersun Alex USA ❄️❤️👋

[@muhammadfachrurazi1035]

Hi, i see ur video on piccolo, i really want to learn piccolo but in my country no one sells, those who have buy it from aboard, i dont understand how digital banking works, they smart to use and know how to buy online, but im not at all, if u have old piccolo that not used, please send to me.. i love to learn this thing.... Thank u, sorry if my english so broke,

[@arir7563]

Näin sen pitikin mennä, tribuutti Pink Floudin mahtavalle biisille. Kyllä Markon ja Empun työskentely tässä on niin nannaa ai että. Toinen biisi minkä kannattaa kuunnella on Markon versio Dingon kappaleesta Nahkatakkinen tyttö siinä kyllä Markon versio tuo kappaleen aivan uuteen meininkeihin, kannattaa kuunnella vaikket siitä reaktio videota tekisikään tänne xox

[@ManuelGuajardo-zd7hx]

Heline I saw you replied to my comments. But would you consider in reacting to nightwishs sister band wintersun? It would help out a symphonic viking metal band from your home country Finland. I sent you the list. So could you reply back to see what you think. Kiitos. Wintersun Alex USA ❄️❤️🌹

[@helli0n824]

no, it is not true that the drummer has migraine at this concert, it´s just internetblabla

[@pmasher]

The migraine rumor comes from an older reaction to this song where she thought he had a migraine based on how he covered his head when not playing. Pretty baseless if you ask me.

[@TheVirtualWatcher]

One of many 'urban myths'. Often quoted, never corroborated ... Where's the proof?

[@AndyMagnusson70]

@@TheVirtualWatcher Prove that he didn´t have migraine

[@AndyMagnusson70]

I actually saw a videoclip long ago where Tarja said she was sick and that Jukka hade a migraine or headache. And no I don´t remember the name of the video. It was in finnish though

[@TheVirtualWatcher]

@@AndyMagnusson70That's funny, I can't remember where I read an interview with Tuomas where he said the story was a load of bollocks.

Legal note. You, your videos, seem to have been blocked a few or more times. To prevent that from happening, you need to add a legal disclaimer to each of your videos where you point to (under US Law) being allowed to freely use this Intellectual Property (IPr) of someone else, for scientific, journalistic, or educational purposes. Some of the US content creators have that phrase under each of their videos and seem not to get impacted. Long, long time ago, countries tried to arrive at an international treaty about IPr, but the US walked out on that. The final conclusion was that everybody would respect everybody else's approach to IPr. The reality is that a US based legal entity only cares about US law. You being Finnish (?) is meaningless to them. So, check out a few reaction channels by US citizens and you'll see the IPr disclaimer under their introductory text with each video. It's like the holy cross in movies to keep vampires away. You only have to use that. I presume.

I will say that Empuu is as good or better than David Gilmore. Change my mind.

[@markalmroth9761]

Emppu is very good but he's no David Gilmore.

[@marjoriittasavolainen7080]

What a tribute to Pink Floyd’s High Hopes. And you, music pro can’t say anything about the instruments, the orcestation, the band. More disipline and facts next time, thank you….You couldn’t discribe what you felt either. 😅

[@MoMoMyPup10]

I have every belief that this was directed at Tarja -- the lyrics are too poignant giving the impending letter and departure of Tarja

[@steviesellers]

This cover is rubbish and does Floyd no favours and foreigners dont get what this song is about or how Floyd fans think about Floyds last song on their last album . Also this is a foreign band and should have stuck to their own music . Have not and will listen to this , dont like covers and not many are worth listening to , there are only 3 on you tube worth listening to . Disturbed / Sound of Silence LIVE on Conan show . Johnny Cash / Hurt official video . Joe Cocker / With a Little Help From My Friends Woodstock fest 1969.
