R.I.P Ann Waychoff mother of the Nightwish Army. June 28th, 2020 . Ann was a big Nightwish Fan. And every new person who listened to NW, she went through a little chat. And gave them some info about NW. This was her favorite song. And this song belongs to her. I like very much that Gabriel have continue Ann s work.... so her heritage is still here.

Favorite song of the late Ann Waychoff, Mother of the Nightwish Army. Inspired by the 52 chapter ,19th century poem of the same name by Walt Whitman. The studio version, at the end, has a spoken poem section, written by Tuomas in an ode to the original. The word to that are the words you see on the big screen behind the band. Song #14 of 15 at Wacken, right after Ghost Love Score. An Anette era song from the Imaginaerum album, which this tour was for. Dead Boy's Poem is the other song you are thinking of.

An interviewer once asked Tuomas the meaning of a song. His reply was "It means whatever you need it to". This is the magic of Nightwish. The songs touch each of us in different ways, but the meaning always seems to be very personal, as if they were written for you.

RIP Ann Waychoff - mother of the Nightwish Army. My personal favorite from the Wacken show -Dark, mysterious, crunchy, and Floor summons fire! You are spot on about Tuomas’s lyrics. “Sometimes the within is piano black”. You can deep dive into this one and have something very different than someone else. I hope Dead Boys Poem, (mentioned in this song) from Buenos Aires is coming soon. (Floor’s costume is even better there.). Think you both will love that one. A bit of a tear-jerker, one of Tuomas’s most personal compositions. Love you two together, and the channel. Keep exploring Nightwish!

Imaginaerum is a concept album and Song of Myself comes at the end, so it IS referencing earlier songs - "she dreams of story time (Storytime) and the river ghosts (Ghost River), of mermaids (Turn Loose the Mermaids), of Whitman's and the ride (Last Ride of the Day), raving harlequins and gigantic toys (Scaretale)." Plus the recurring self-referential "dead boy" reference...

You were correct to pick up on references to other songs. The Imaginarium album was written as a story. Storytime was the 2nd song from the album and sets the tone for the rest of the album. Song of Myself is the final or conclusion of the story. The concert was part of the Imaginarium tour. The name of the DVD for this video is Showtime Storytime.

This song is for You Ann (mother of Nightwish Army) R.I.P 🤘😔🤘 Your flame and passion lives on in Us 🤘🔥🤘. Ann Waychoff was known by many as the Nightwish Mom. She would give comments to people who reacted to Nightwish videos to try and help the reactors understand and she would tirelessly exchange comments with people who wanted to know more. She also communicated privately with a large number of fans and reactors (we know now from the tributes.). kzbin.info?search_query=ann+waychoff will show how many knew her and how many liked her enough to spend hours making videos about her/dedicated to her. For me this song has some serious Pantera vibes 🤘🔥🤘. Pure fire and great song!!! And the Poem: I see a slow, simple youngster by a busy street, with a begging bowl in his shaking hand. Trying to smile but hurting infinitely. Nobody notices. I do, but walk by. An old man gets naked and kisses a model-doll in his attic. It’s half-light and he’s in tears. When he finally comes his eyes are cascading. I see a beaten dog in a pungent alley. He tries to bite me. All pride has left his wild drooling eyes. I wish I had my leg to spare. A mother visits her son, smiles to him through the bars. She’s never loved him more. An obese girl enters an elevator with me. All dressed up fancy, a green butterfly on her neck. Terribly sweet perfume deafens me. She’s going to dinner alone. That makes her even more beautiful. I see a model’s face on a brick wall. A statue of porcelain perfection beside a violent city kill. A city that worships flesh. The 1st thing I ever heard was a wandering man telling his story It was you, the grass under my bare feet The campfire in the dead of the night The heavenly black of sky and sea It was us Roaming the rainy roads, combing the gilded beaches Waking up to a new gallery of wonders every morn Bathing in places no-one’s seen before Shipwrecked on some matt-painted island Clad in nothing but the surf - beauty’s finest robe Beyond all mortality we are, swinging in the breath of nature In early air of the dawn of life A sight to silence the heavens I want to travel where life travels, following its permanent lead Where the air tastes like snow music Where grass smells like fresh-born Eden I would pass no man, no stranger, no tragedy or rapture I would bathe in a world of sensation Love, Goodness, and Simplicity ( While violated and imprisoned by technology ) The thought of my family’s graves was the only moment I used to experience true love That love remains infinite, as I’ll never be the man my father is How can you “just be yourself” when you don’t know who you are? Stop saying “I know how you feel” How could anyone know how another feels? Who am I to judge a priest, beggar, whore, politician, wrongdoer? I am, you are, all of them already Dear child, stop working, go play Forget every rule There’s no fear in a dream “Is there a village inside this snowflake?” a child asked me “What’s the color of our lullaby?” I’ve never been so close to truth as then I touched its silver lining Death is the winner in any war Nothing noble in dying for your religion For your country For ideology, for faith For another man, yes Paper is dead without words Ink idle without a poem All the world dead without stories Without love and disarming beauty Careless realism costs souls Ever seen the Lord smile? All the care for the world made Beautiful a sad man? Why do we still carry a device of torture around our necks? Oh, how rotten your pre-apocalypse is All you bible-black fools living over nightmare ground I see all those empty cradles and wonder If man will ever change I, too, wish to be a decent manboy but all I am Is smoke and mirrors Still given everything, may I be deserving And there forever remains that change from G to Em NWSU 🤘😎🤘.

Two of the best IMO for watching Floor’s stage presence are the Tampa FL performance of Sahara and the Mexico City performance of Alpenglow. In both videos they keep the cameras a lot more on Floor and the band rather than hopping around on the audience mugging for the video. And you get to really appreciate just how much of their individual personalities each band member puts into a Nightwish show.

There are several references to other tracks from the Imaginaerum album and a few others in the lyrics too, I think that is all but there may be more. "The nightingale is still locked in the cage" (Escapist) "She dreams of storytime and the river ghosts" (Storytime + Ghost River) "Of mermaids, of Whitman's and the Ride" (Turn loose the Mermaids, Song of Myself + Last ride of the day) "Raving harlequins, gigantic toys" (Scaretale) "Is the same old Dead Boy's song" (Dead boy's Poem or maybe even Poet and the Pendulum - Dead boy refers to Tuomas)

The deeper you go into the night which catalog you will realize that everything that happens on stage and everything they do serves a purpose......Tuomas it's just completely on another level when it comes to what he does..... A reactor once said that nightwish does a lot of tension and release you were kind of calling it you know light into heavy and they do this roller coaster up and down and that's just I think it's to keep you interested and to keep you thinking........ Their music truly is like a great play or even a great movie they have to keep you interested they have to keep you wanting more and they have to make you think............ I think they've accomplished all of those.

If you're in need of Nightwish content to watch on your own, but are afraid of what to see... You can watch the documentary "Please, learn the setlist in 48 hours". It will show how the band dealt with Anette Olsen's absence due to late pregnancy and Floor's journey to learn the songs in time for the following show. It's on KZbin and whenever they speak Finnish, it's properly subbed.

It is A Tribute to the poem in 52 chapters, One for every week of the year, " Song of myself " by Walt Whitman 1819-1892.(one of the co-founders of US poetry). The 7th line of the song is ""Of mermaids, of Whitman's and the Ride""". The extended official studio version of this song has, at the end, a poem as a tribute to Whitman made by Tuomas, the keyboard player and the mastermind of nightwish. These lines you can also see fast flahing on the ledscreen of the video you just saw. Bucle up, it goes very deep. " I see a slow, simple youngster by a busy street With a begging bowl in his shaking hand Trying to smile but hurting infinitely Nobody notices I do, but walk by An old man gets naked and kisses a model-doll in his attic It's half-light and he's in tears When he finally comes his eyes are cascading I see a beaten dog in a pungent alley He tries to bite me All pride has left his wild drooling eyes I wish I had my leg to spare A mother visits her son, Smiles to him through the bars She's never loved him more An obese girl enters an elevator with me All dressed up fancy A green butterfly on her neck Terribly sweet perfume deafens me She's going to dinner alone That makes her even more beautiful I see a model's face on a brick wall A statue of porcelain perfection beside a violent city kill A city that worships flesh The first thing I ever heard Was a wandering man telling his story It was you, the grass under my bare feet The campfire in the dead of the night The heavenly black of sky and sea It was us Roaming the rainy roads Combing the gilded beaches Waking up to a new gallery of wonders every morn Bathing in places no-one's seen before Shipwrecked on some matt-painted island Clad in nothing but the surf Beauty's finest robe Beyond all mortality we are Swinging in the breath of nature In early air of the dawn of life A sight to silence the heavens I want to travel where life travels Following its permanent lead Where the air tastes like snow music Where grass smells like fresh-born Eden I would pass no man, no stranger, no tragedy or rapture I would bathe in a world of sensation Love, Goodness, and Simplicity (While violated and imprisoned by technology) The thought of my family's graves was the only moment I used to experience true love That love remains infinite As I'll never be the man my father is How can you "just be yourself" When you don't know who you are?

A tremendous piece of music. As I have stated on another reaction video, we sadly will not be able to hear Nightwish perform this song this way anymore. Marco leaving the band has left an incredible void in the music of Nightwish. Marco was the secret weapon of the band who made them spectacular. Floor no doubt is one of the greatest vocalists ever. No other group could match their triple theat of voice, composition and instrumentation. I know Marco had good reasons for leaving for himself and his family but he is sorely missed.

Great choice, it's one of their better songs! The second part specially, with the slower tempo and dark heavy sound, it's really amazing

Phenomenal! Started with the tempo right from the start! That tempo with the guitar along with the drums was ear candy. Floor, as always, sounded incredible. Her voice grounds the totality of the whole production. The crowd is completely involved with crowd surfing no less.

Fantastic reaction, ladies. Loved it. This is such an incredible performance and everything just comes together on this heavier side of Nightwish. Great energy on stage and great energy in the crowd. Thank you both for continuing these Nightwish reactions. Keep them coming.

If you look up the lyrics on Google you'll find that they only sang the first half of the song. The rest appeared up on the backdrop screen during the song.

The next NW song will be your next favorite one, always 😍. I hope you will continue your journey and discover the 2nd unbelievable Symphonic Metal Band next to Nightwish - EPICA. Perfect one to start is EPICA feat. Floor (!) "SanctaTerra" live Retrospect. You will be blown away completly. 😉

This is the next to the last song of the concert. They mention Storytime and Ghost River (that I remember off the top of my head). It also references Walt Whitman (who wrote a poem called "Song of Myself"). Ironically, when the song was recorded with Anette Olzon, I seem to remember it having a different name. When the album was rerecorded with Floor Jansen, it was renamed.

It has always been called Song of Myself but on the album it has chapters with different names, probably this is what you remember. There is no rerecorded album with Floor only live versions.

I knew you'd like this. Like many NW songs, every twist and turn takes you to a better place. (Jukka plays this 4/4 sounding rhythm over a 7/4 time signature and keeps if feeling natural.)

One of my favourite Nightwish songs! I'm glad you did that reaction 🙂 There are so many more to discover in this one. I strongly recommend to watch that again off camera, but the full version with the wonderful poem of Tuomas at the end. Greetings from Nightwish army Greece department 🤘🇬🇷

to be exact, its never a change of pace in this song, its almost never a change of pace in Nightwish songs. Usually what is perceived as a change in pace is the change in rythm ,at the same pace. For instance going half tempo, or from a 4/4 to 7/8 or whatever time change or combo , while the "speed" of the clicktrack remains the same;)

This is what they do to us...sending us on a journey of emotions. Brilliant !! Sometimes emotions we've never felt before. Also, I really think you girls are doing the reactions correctly. Not having captions on. They take away from the immersion in the performance. Read them after or before. Whatever suits you. Much Love to You both and Ukraine 💙💛💙🌻🌻🌻

This was so good. For many of us, this is their Zenith… or one of the 30, or 40. 😊. Anyway, this is the performance that, for me, really settled me to the idea that Nightwish with Floor is the best band on the planet. There are lots of great musicians. But these folks are simply amazing.
