Nightwish "I Want My Tears Back" REACTION Video | Buenos Aires first time hearing this metal song

[@alejandromoya7]

One of the best alive bands at this Planet in front the best and most wild crowd ever!!! NIGHTWISH is a perfect blend with ARGENTINA'S fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😉🤘🇦🇷

[@dennisweifenbach2647]

You sure got that right. A great crowd.

[@jaana3634]

Marko's statement about Tango was very apt. The people of Finland have a strong love for Tango, which is even considered strange. We Nightwish fans understand it completely: the hearts of Argentina and Finland beat at the same pace. Argentina always makes my rigid Finnish heart flutter with joy.🇫🇮❤️🇦🇷

[@athlonen]

The thing with Floor's voice while she was talking prior to the song starting: She was battling the flu during this performance, so her voice wasn't totally there, but when she was singing, her voice and body knew just what to do, so she made it through the song, let alone the entire show. This is the same show that Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean came from (You'll get to that song in due time as well). But this show definitely introduces you to Troy, who.. well.. there isn't anything that he can't do, sing, or play.

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

He don't play hockey 🏒 - ge says 😂

[@MiguelWard]

Just to be clear, in Buenos Aires she was fine, it was at their show in Colombia where she had the flu. Cheers

[@JariJuslin]

And we got to hear some male Nightwish harmonies when it was just Marko and Troy singing!

[@German_1]

As you can tell, South America loves Nightwish! The Buenos concert is great. Troy is playing the Ullean pipes, not bagpipes. Kai is the drummer. Dead boys poem, deep silent complete and 10th man down are Buenos favorites. See Emppu look at floor like she's crazy? She had a blast!

[@clupus63]

Yeah, Floor can do full-on metal growling, too. She can do it all.

[@alejandromoya7]

🎵🎵OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ, OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ OLÁ... OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ... CADA DÍA TE QUIERO MÁS; YO SOY DE NIGHWTWISH; ES UN SENTIMIENTO, NO PUEDO PARAR🎶🎶 📣

[@gabriel.bardac]

I'm glad that you discovered today another of the musical directions approached by Nightwish, the Celtic vein. You caught the meaning of the lyrics very well, which makes me happy. Your enthusiasm is obvious to me, and I think it would be a good idea to duplicate some of Floor's outfits - I have a positive feeling about the result :)

[@erickvermeulen9734]

The performance of Troy on the Uillean pipes in this song is so uplifting, brings a positive mood and I love that.

[@chriso6719]

Floor dancing all over the stage, and she wasn't 100% here either. She had been sick with the flu a show or 2 before this. The song is a longing to feel emotion the way one did when they were young. The Uilleann (ill-en or ill-yen) pipes that Troy is playing are the Irish version of bagpipe, using a bellows squeezed by the elbow to inflate the bag. Uilleann is the Gaelic word for elbow. Troy was singing too, a 3rd harmony with Floor and Marko. They have played this on the current tour, with Troy taking over most of Marko's vocal lines, and no 3rd harmony. Kai Hahto on drums, he came from the band Wintersun, as did bassist Jukka Koskinen, who joined when Marko left in 2021. If you want to hear more of Floor's lower range (growly sounds) , check out 'Yours is an Empty Hope' from the Wembley 2015 show.

[@tahhah3449]

Fantastic audience💪💪and of course The Band , and You , You are so GOOOOOOOOOOD!

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

It's one of Floor's abilities to start a joint venture party with the crowd - when you are in the crowd and she reaches out to you - you just follow. She is so spectacular and her charisma are so unbelievable, that you almost feels she is talking directly to you. That's talent! And her voice - even though she wasn't 100% on this show, she still talks and sings so convincing.

[@alejandromoya7]

Los argentinos no vamos solamente a disfrutar de un concierto ó cualquier evento deportivo; VAMOS A SER PARTE DEL SHOW/ESPECTÁCULO!!!😁😄🤘👍🇦🇷

[@schout33]

Many songs of Nightwish are very personal to Tuomas. A common theme is indeed the longing back for his childhood and the innocence.

[@Nights-Watcher]

10/10 on the lyrics, you nailed it. Loved your reactions, many thanks and have a GREAT evening.

[@amygoodson-catlady]

The harmonies were 3-part...with Troy on the lower end. Drummer, Kai Hahto is a world class technician on the kit! He's not flashy but his skills are impeccable! You ladies would enjoy (not necessarily a reaction) the short videos on Floor's channel, called Storytime. Just seeing Floor on her farm, with her animals...discovering just how lovely she is 'in real life'.... ❤️!

Oh yes, they do alot of steampunk vibes, her outfits this tour are soooo good. You'll love them. I follow her designer on Instagram.

[@jamesanderson5268]

In one of the many interviews she's given, Floor said she has designers in a lot of cities they go to and she picked that outfit for this tour but she didn't say where she got it. A couple of years ago she had a sale on older outfits and she sold out pretty quickly.

[@markusjackel2132]

Yes ! The Party Song ! A happy dancing Floor just makes the day a little brighter 🙂 Thank you ! And yes...she looks stunning in this Outfit...we all agree on this 🙂 All Hail Queen Floor !

Now It's A PARTY!!!! As for the theme, well, it is part of the Imaginaerium album after all, so childhood memories are a part of it. So....well Done you two 👏. NWSU 🤘😎🤘.

[@reactionsaccount3955]

This is South American crowds for you. If you want to react to a live performance and you see Argentina or Brazil, you know you will get an insane crowd reaction.

[@iNsTaNtpUdDiNhEaD]

The Warning recently got a similar reaction from the crowd in Peru. I believe you have seen some of that performance.

[@shereengonzalez1911]

Awesome reaction as always! If you want to see more of Floor in that outfit and to get a better feel of the current drummer, Kai, I would recommend Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean.

[@npinjest7779]

Another song from Imaginaerum, a concept album, so it's part of a largery story and, if I recall correctly, is indeed about an old man looking back at the childhood nostalgically.

[@thomasjohansen8152]

Its the longing for childhood, the innocence, magic, discovery and safety. The innocence of childhood is a repeating theme in Toumas' writing

[@larryd4352]

I am glad you two are enjoying your time watching Nightwish. FYI Kai is the new drummer, and actually Kai and Jukka are goods friends...and have a very similar style...which is why he fits in so well with the band. Troy plays the Irish Bagpipes....known as Uilleann Bagpipes which are considered the national bagpipe of Ireland. Troy also plays a wide variety of flutes, the acoustic guitar, a different 4 string acoustic "guitar...I don't know the real name..." and who knows what else he can play, he is an extremely talented musician! He also sings lead vocals on one of my favorite songs on the Human : | : Nature album, titled " Harvest " Live in a virtual world (2021) link below kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWW6kKV6abuInqs

[@fredriknilsson6042]

I dont think that they have similar style of playing but Kai is a fenomenal drummer so thats why it fits i should say. With Jukka you had more passion when playing and a showman. Just love them both but for different reasons.

[@biglew1161]

Larry D that 4 string guitar is called a bouzouki, a type of lute.

[@Duskwind_]

This song was Tuomas lamenting about his lost childhood, so wow, you are getting really good at this! Amazing reaction ladies 👍Also, Floor's superhero outfit 🔥

[@fabrizio_prina]

NW Army Italian Division here. The difference between Floor and other singers is that Floor can sing what she wants (metal, progressive, pop, folk, opera .....) She is one of the most versatile singer ever.

[@martinklaus2203]

Some seriously rabbid Nightwish fans in Argentina!! Freekin love it!!

[@bobgross8761]

This is one of my favorite Nightwish shows and set lists for a number of reasons, but it starts with how engaged the fans in Argentina are. They and the band feed off of each other throughout. I'm guessing that your Nightwish quest will ultimately take you to 'Dead Boy's Poem' the live video of which is taken from this same show. When you do, remember the playfulness of 'I Want My Tears Back' in contrast to the equal and very opposite emotions you'll feel during 'Dead Boy's Poem'. The spectrum that Nightwish can cover is, to me, unmatched. Thanks for continuing the trek!

[@frankmerris8821]

i think it might be next

[@charliethetraveller]

They really should play it next. The contrast between this two song couldn't be more interesting.

[@panoskarelas437]

Well about growling....😅 Wait until you get to "Yours is an empty hope" (live at Wembley) were she REALLY growls in all the choruses. Prepare for Jaw dropping 😂😂 Greetings from Greece girls 🍻🤘

Crazy how they pay tribute to the band. With that audience, it can't go wrong. On the other hand, you can't go wrong with Nightwish either 🙂

Hi joker ladies, It's always fun to watch your smiling faces. This Floroween outfit wil certainly win first!!! prices.😀 Have a lovely day. Greetings (again) from Amsterdam.

[@iNsTaNtpUdDiNhEaD]

Argentine crowds are off the chain!! You can tell that she feeds off their energy, and they return it in spades. I have been enjoying your varied reactions! I like that they prefer to leave their lyrics vague enough that they allow people to form their own interpretations of the meaning. The rock band The Warning are the same way. (Know that I am inviting you to another rabbit hole!)

[@stpfs9281]

Yes. Yes. Yes!

[@kentk2215]

Now THERE’S your next Halloween costume! This song is one of a recurring theme, where Tuomas longs for the innocence and bliss of youth, before becoming jaded by adulthood. Yes, sorry you didn’t get your Jukka fix on this one. Kai, his friend and mentor has taken over the kit. Troy on the Uillean pipes (elbow pipes, Irish bagpipes). Next, try another one from this show, Dead Boy’s Poem, and delve into some of Tuomas’s most personal lyrics, and more amazing vocals from Floor.

[@PaulOutdoors]

Yes, what a wonderful woman Floor is on so many levels. Epicness right there on that stage. Phenomenal band. "it's a tango country" 🤣. Thank you ladies for a wonderful reaction. Paul 🙏😊👍❤️

[@robertsheeler321]

I Concur

[@seattanf2348]

I'm glad you used this concert for reacting to this particular song. IMO it's their best performance for I Want My Tears Back. Buenos Aires concert was actually my first introduction to Nightwish. Several months before I had heard 1 song and really didn't like it. But I kept hearing stuff about NW. I figured it was unfair to judge a band one 1 song so I got on KZbin and search for a full live concert. Hour and half later I was a NW fan for life. Led Zeppelin used to be my favorite band then I heard NW. Now my favorite is a 3 way toss up between Led Zepp, NW, and Epica.

[@blake86303]

Floor said in an interview that the band thinks South American audiences are probably their favorite.

[@ericsaari2901]

Great reaction! Aren't they amazing? Still the best live performance I have ever personally seen, when I saw them live last year. Floor has such a presence on stage, and her voice. Floor can do it all, that's for sure. Everyone else of course is amazing too. Maybe you should check out "Yours is an Empty Hope" live from Wembley next. I think so. 😉🤘 I'll recommend one, too, in addition to more Nightwish. Pau Villarreal's cover of Creep. Saw it for the first time the other day and was stunned. For this, I really have no words. She started singing and I was moved immediately. If you do this reaction, I'll comment there on what I think it was. She's the drummer for The Warning. The drummer. 🙂 It's here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2e8ZYumd92di5I

[@draug7966]

Nightwish's number one party song! The title kinda sounds like it's a sad ballad, then it turns out to be this joyuos irish/celtic sounding thing. And yes. Floor in that epic outfit is a sight to behold indeed......, like a sexy but badass heroine from a fantasy movie.

[@littleraven28]

Very nice reaction and right on point with the lyrics. Tuomas has said many times in interviews that he had a very nice childhood. I can just imagine how he could explore and discover new things out there in Finnish nature, far away from big cities and technology. This song is a happy memory of those times for me too. As kids we explored in the same way, living close to the woods, being out all day only to come home when it got dark. The brilliance of this song was even made better by the crowd. Argentina really showed her moves as Floor said. This whole Buenos Aires concert is awesome. Also because it features some older songs in a new arrangement for Floor. ❤️🤘🏽

[@silverblack5475]

South American crowds are unmatched , i remember back in the day in the 80s 90s , the crowds in the US used to be like that. ...dont know what happened. This is such a fun song , especially if your actually at the show . Floor was sick during this show but wait till you do Dead Boys Poem from this show

[@rnowak85]

Great reaction Ladies!. The chant by the crowd in the beginning was an adaptation of the chant for the local football team. South American heavy metal fans are some of the best in the world and it's on my bucket list to see Nightwish in Buenos Aries someday and be a part of that crowd. Song is from the Imaginaerum album, a concept album about an old composer looking back and reminiscing about his younger days on his deathbed so you nailed the songs meaning. Nightwish has been mining the steampunk vibe ever since the music video for The Islander (although the best version of the song is live at Tampere with Floor singing backing vocals for Marko). They used the same imagery for the virtual world, The Islander Arms, that they created for their virtual concert in 2021 and Floor's outfits on their current tour also have a strong steampunk vibe.

[@Mischnikvideos]

The audience was so amazing because the band allowed it to happen. Not every band communicates with the audience like that. Troy (the guy with the flutes and pipes) and Tuomas also have their own world music project where they don't do metal. The idea comes up when Troy shows up as a guest musician with the band. It will be implemented during Floor's baby break: AURI - The Space Between (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO) Around the same time, Floor recorded a hard rock album as Northward and Marko made prog metal under his name. NORTHWARD - While Love Died (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) MARKO HIETALA - Star, Sand And Shadow (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO) During the pandemic, a second Auri album is created, Floor starts her solo career and Marko is driven out of the band by his depression.

[@Thorgrim247]

Floor likes to design Stream Punk stylish outfits. We all miss Jukka's amazing stage presence. However, his friend Kai Hahto is a great drummer. The Argentinian audience may be the most enthusiastic rock fans in the world. You will discover several songs which incorporate the Celtic folk vibes. Nailed it beautiful. This is a song all about recapturing the lost innocence of youth. References to Alice in Wonderland and Mary Costa, who provided the voice of Princess Aurora in the 1959 Disney animated film Sleeping Beauty, of which she is the last surviving original voice actress of the first three Disney Princesses created in Walt Disney's lifetime and for which she was named a Disney Legend in 1999. Se both of you lovely ladies soon! I hope.

Hello ladies, greetings from UK I count down the days until your reactions, they are the highlight of my week 😬 You are really very good at interpreting the lyrics, the Irish bagpipes, the overall meaning of the song. It's very impressive 😊 I'm not sure if you could make an outfit like that? It looks like it is made from rubber, doesn't it? By the way, Ever Dream is missing from your Nightwish playlist...just sayin' 🤗

[@villainouschrisk]

So far, you've only done Floor performing songs written for the previous singers. This was an Annette song from "Imaginaerum". They've done two albums with Floor. "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" in 2015, and "Human :ll: Nature" in 2019, which was released right as the lockdowns started. "Shudder Before The Beautiful" live at Wembley, 2015 would be a good place to start the Floor songs.

You'll never get an outfit like that. It was a one-off custom made by Royal Black Couture in Austria. They also did costumes for the current tour. Interpretation spot on, the sleepless nights is a reference to staying awake due to excitement in my interpretation (children trying to stay awake at Christmas for example). Lots of childhood references (the voice of Mary Costa, for example, Disney's voice actor for Sleeping Beauty). This whole concert is superb

We are honored to have our country chosen for the 2 decades anniversary DVD. Fans always ask for this version of the song to react because of the crowd going crazy along with Floor. But they also did it in Wacken. The folk sound added by Troy with the irish pipes is part of their new sound, they have some more with that style as Troy became a permanent member And yes here is 2018 so we have Kai as drummer, he's also great, another song from this show where he shines is Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean

[@EricManktelow]

Floor and Emppu have a thing since this show and all concerts since, Floor tries to get Empuu to dance with her for this song and he refuses or even runs away as she chases him round the stage :D A bit like Floor and Emppu's finger touch towards the end of Ghost Love Score, once they did it once the fans want it every show. It all adds to the charm and family love feeling of a live Nightwish show.

[@roy19491]

don't forget, while she's dancing and bouncing across the stage, that Floor is 6-5 to 6-6 in those heels.....as far as Floor's graveling talking goes; she was recovering from a major case of flu; she was over it, but still on the downhill symtomatic side, but the "coughing hoarsness" gravel voice

[@jerrydavison1176]

This is another awesome song! I really like this one too! Another good song (not Nightwish though) is Turisas "Stand up and fight". The style is "viking" or battle metal. They're the only ones with "metal" accordian

[@christomashofski9160]

On the audience: Yes, Latin American fans are the absolute greatest! High energy and very expressive. They're the BEST! On the lyrics: Yes. You get it. I mean, you really GET it... Tuomas's heart that is. Hit the nail on the head! On the drumkit: Don't know if you mean the yellow design on the sides of the drum canister or the round design on the drum skin face. This was called the "Decades World Tour," and the theme was a retrospective of old NW songs from way back in the vault up to and including the newer ones. The logo for the tour involved a ticking clock and an iris type of shutter clicking. It was rendered in what I guess you could say a Steampunk style.... so you are right again! That looks like the design on the drumskin face. The yellow design on the sides is, I think, a holdover from the previous EFMB World Tour. As such, it is believed to be representing the DNA double helix, cleaved after meiosis for recombination with a new parent's half. The EFMB tour was a celebration of the beauty of life on Earth (i.e., The Greatest Show On Earth) and DNA figured prominently in the theme, including on Floor's "double helix" stage costume.

How does she do it in those heels?! Skipping around the stage, Emppu looking over and grinning!

[@ArumesYT]

It's not really about youth or getting older, but about one of the effects of it. Do you remember the first time you saw a rainbow? Remember telling your parents "look, mom! A rainbow!" as a 3, 4, 5 year old? Well, how do you react now when you see one? As you get older, you get saturated. Seen it all, been there, done that, you have more knowledge to explain the things around you. Your emotions disappear. Everything that seemed so special when you were a kid, is just normal now. The song is about the desire to experience those wonders, those moments of awe, again. It's not about "being able to stay up as long as you want", it's about exciting things (like birthdays, or christmas) KEEPING you awake all night in anticipation.

[@warbear323]

Hey Gap Girls! Love your reaction, as always. This is one of two live performances of this song that I know about. The other being at Wacken 2013 (you have reacted to several of those already). Many fans (including myself) prefer this version. My reasons are the crowd interaction, Floor's dancing, and that Troy's pipes are much higher in the mix. This show is from the "Decades" tour. They released the Decades studio album 2018. It is basically a "greatest hits" collection of studio recordings from the albums they had released over the last 20+ years (at that point). The Decades studio album tracks have the original lineups, while the live shows were performed by the lineup that was current at the time. BTW: As promised, I have watched a few of your other non-nightwish videos as well. Very enjoyable. I especially appreciate the Q&A video. I had not heard of "Table Topics" before. Going to buy it and try it out. Thanks so much.

[@warbear323]

Also, if you are interested in bands that are somewhat similar to Nightwish, just let me/us (the NW Army) know. Personally, I went down several of those rabbit holes before going down this one.

[@jesseheiman1806]

Good catch on the drummer. Juka had to retire from the band because of health reasons. This is Kai, who was a mentor to Juka and is known as the "Human Metronome". The instrument that Troy is playing is called the Uilleann Pipes. They are also know as Irish bagpipes. The biggest difference between them is that instead of blowing into them, air is pumped through them by bellows that are pumped under the right arm. There are a couple of videos of this song on KZbin. This is my favorite version. The first version is from the Waken concert (the same concert that you reacted to Ghost Love Score) and is fantastic. But this version shows the great interaction between Floor and the audience. This concert is about 3 years after Waken and Floor is so much more relaxed and part of the band. I have explained this version as " I went to a Nightwish Concert and a futball game broke out". Everyone had a great time with this song.

Actually this is from the Decades DVD filmed in 2018, so Floor had been with NW for 6 years :)

Hello from Spain, react you a nightwish song call THE POET AND THE PENDULUM, is a second masterpiece on nightwish, I liked sure, congratulations and thank you

[@olagsanger7436]

Awesome reaction as always. The song is clearly inspired by Mighty Maiden's 'Dance Of Death'. Check it out, preferably Envivo Live 2011.
