I CAN"T GET ENOUGH! Ex Metal Elitist Reacts to Nightwish "The Islander (Live at Tampere)"

[@tapio7133]

When man get tears with this song, I salute him!

[@hole242]

Johnny Cash and Hurt always make me cry

[@eleonoragiacomazzi5775]

Hi Cosmic, to show emotion is a strength.. Marko is a storyteller.. his voice can sound like a beast or a wise and gentle sage. Nightwishs' songs are like mini musicals..each transports you to another world. Everytime l hear this song l can almost smell and taste the ocean...and when Troy comes in its like a lonely cry of a seagull. Any Nightwish fan can vouch that we have all shed a tear believe me! Enjoy your reactions..you have a bueatiful soul Cosmic.. Take care! 🤗

[@aidankirwan9904]

Oh Greatest Show on Earth got me big time. The ending!

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Its amazing how music can move us. Thank you for the kind words

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

​@@aidankirwan9904I cant wait to see it

[@wolfsdream499]

Couldn't have said it better!

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

Yes, Marko never shines so brightly as there! 😎👍

[@Starman_67]

I get tears from so many Nightwish songs for so many reasons. No shame in it. Music is the key to unlocking emotional blockages, expressing joy; grief; love; anger; emotional truth, etc. Music is magic for the soul!

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

you said it best friend❤

[@eviljeep]

I discover this song as a new Nightwish fan, the day Marko left the band. The post says "farewell Marko" with this song . At this day, i cannot see this performance without couple of tears 👌 Marko is the only male vocalist that can break me all time. Sometime before he sing, just with his presence. 🙏 tx for reacting to Nightwish 🤟 from Québec Canada 🇲🇶🇨🇦🖐️

[@robertsheeler321]

Excellent reaction , I've cried my eyes out on many Nightwish and or Floor by herself songs and I truly appreciate honest and real reactions .

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Dude, I honestly didnt know what came over me.

[@KevinHollisWI]

NightWish Army Wisconsin Chapter here. Loved your reaction! Majority of us, the Army, have shed many tears over NightWish songs. Tuomas, Floor and the others all have a way to emphasize the Humanity in all of us. Never have I had the same effect from any other band. They are the GREATEST band on the planet, with the GREATEST fans on the planet! We are here for you brother! ❤❤🤘

[@Sumpula]

[@alnorwood134]

Nightwish and its members are masters at making its songs touch each and every person deeply. You are simply being human.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

[@2beans_and_a_bug]

Hey friends! How do I join Nightwish Army Wisconsin? :)

[@Susirajantakaa]

Many people say they get chills when they hear good music. I never get chills, but I cry very easily. Too many Nightwish songs and Floor Jansen's own performances makes me tear up. They just pull my heart strings and stir my soul.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Agreed, I cry alot before I even get cold chills

[@AkelasanAK]

... its not always easy growing up, but its a thing we're living for ...

[@JariJuslin]

There's nothing wrong in crying when hit by something emotional. It's just a feature of good music that it sometimes hits you hard.

[@JariJuslin]

And frankly, an honest emotion is often better review of a song than any technical analysis can be. Music is about relaying emotions, technical aspects are just means to an end.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

​@@JariJuslinIm awful with technical. When I set out to do these videos, its all from how I feel.❤

[@cjmacleod3976]

Beautiful reaction, Cosmic. It happens to all of us. A few of their other songs that get to me: While Your Lips Are Still Red, live at Wembley...Procession, official lyric video...Harvest, live from the Islander's Arms...and Dead Boy's Poem, live at Buenos Aires.

[@ceciellepeters4696]

Procession did it for me too,Floors voice there is absolutely emotional beautifull😊

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Much love CJ, I cant wait to see those other songs❤

[@charlesxavier..]

I CONCUR WITH THOSE SONGS¡!

[@Thorgrim247]

No worries Cosmic. We all shed some tears over the emotional soundscapes created by Nightwish. Floor is not the only voice in Nightwish. Marko is so special as well. He had a big part in the composition of this song. he is a natural storyteller. I could hear him on a warm summer night with full moon overhead singing his heart out sitting by a fireside with a group of friends. Just Marko and an acoustic guitar and a rapt, emotionally invested, and captive audience.

[@scottprentice6815]

It's Nightwish. All the reactors have got the tissue box nearby.

[@silverblack5475]

Bro , ive cried so many times to Nightwish......who cares what people think .

[@Heike-r2o]

It's okay to cry. We all do. I sobbed like at Baby last December when i saw them live in Berlin. Never be sorry for showing your raw emotions

[@royoschroeder]

Since you've opened the door for Tampere, check out Shudder Before The Beautiful, Weak Fantasy, and of course The Greatest Show On Earth. Can't wait to see your reaction!

[@sigp6113]

Well done good sir! Just a suggestion, when you react/experience The Greatest Show on Earth, please take the penultimate journey, from this same Tampere extravaganza of musical genius. Enjoy

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Thanks for the tips!

[@richardmead5969]

I understand, during greatest show on earth, the phrase, we were here, affected me the same, knowing they weren`t talking about the concert but humanity

[@VXGaming]

Just like High Hopes this is a song you feel more the older you get.

[@user-rf2ng7bi5z]

Anyone who would bash a person for showing emotion over music is the one who should be bashed... Love your genuine reactions!

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Appreciate you friend

[@572Btriode]

Marko said: "If I play the chorus, you will sing along? You will? OK, then we'll do it!" You should do How's the Heart, both the music video and the acoustic version from Planet Rock.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Ohhh they sound great! I will for sure

[@jaromirkven]

It is Good to feel sometimes.

[@jasonthompson3209]

My grandson is now 14. When he was 2 or 3 and had a hard time sleeping peacefully. My wife and I would often play the official studio version of this tune and he would immediately fall into a peaceful sleep. I'm a thrash metal head, but I ADORE Nightwish, and have been a staunch supporter since their 2nd release, "Oceanborn."

[@scottb.4472]

I played Nightwish for one of my co-workers a couple years ago and she turned to me and she immediately said that's not fair LOL I said what's not fair? she said that's an all-star band........... Truer words have never been spoken.

[@frenkwd1]

yep I think you're one of us now. You are now a member of the largest army in the world.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Im here for it

[@vlinder6329]

Marco playfully bantering with the crowd, his awesome double necked guitar, Troy performing the song live, Floor’s amazing backing vocals, the big smile he and Floor have at the end. Ahhh, it’s perfect. Th❤nkXxxx... Bedankt 🇳🇱🌷🇳🇱 Kiitos 🇫🇮🤘

[@anthonyw7498]

Nightwish music is about feeling emotions and feeling life.

[@corneliusantonius3108]

Marko is the boss of Finland. I love when he walks back to the band and Floor expresses how amazing she tought he performed.

[@jaskau2462]

🤩👌💥💯🎼 Some songs just remains the same, some of them seems to change like a fine wine with aging... As we humans do. 🙃 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

well said friend!

[@rickphil9999]

Hello again, Cosmic. Our beloved Nightwish has brought me to tears many times, sometimes tears of pure joy at the beauty of the music, and sometimes for the sense of sadness some of Tuomas's beautiful compositions bring out. Marko's terrific performance here was perfect, and supplemented by the band and Floor coming in so delicately behind him just kicks in the emotion of this wonderful sea chanty. Wistful and remorseful, simultaneously. Absolutely beautiful reaction. Thank you. I also recommend one of my other Marko lead favorites, While Your Lips Are Still Red, live at Wembley 2015. From Marko's opening introduction of the song to the crowd, throughout this wonderfully messaged song, it is delicate and beautiful. Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4eagX6saZ5mf8U

[@moniquevanaken2638]

Hello Cosmic! Great reaction! But...never say sorry for being or getting emotional!! Music is a knife without a hilt and it is a sign of being human. And I, like so many Nightwish fans, still tear up on a regular basis although I have heard NW's songs a thousand times! Back in the day NW made a video of this song, with Anette. I am not a fan of hers but this song fits her voice perfectly. And they also made a video "Making of the Islander", filmed in Finnish Lapland, very interesting. Have a nice weekend and greetings from The Netherlands!

[@ecbftl]

I love both of these videos, highly recommended.

[@orangeguppie6897]

😂😂😂 hoi Monique, i have the same request!!!!!! "the making of The Islander documentary" and than the original song right after!!!. I did both a few day's ago, i am sure that you also love this one Cosmic. Anette is the backup singer. This is after all a Marko Hietala song. SO "I CONCUR" . Greetings from another Dutchy.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Much love! I will have to watch that video!❤

[@ecbftl]

A masterclass in on-location film making with the band and actor mixed with CGI elements. I watched the video first, and then eventually saw the documentary about how it was made.

[@veronapaisley6915]

Music is the spirit language of the Soul.

[@mpainter22]

[@krista584]

Musicians/singers that can make you *feel* the music are the true artists imo. For more beautiful vocals from Marko, I warmly recommend (Kiss) While Your Lips Are Still Red, live from Wembley ❤

[@j0hnn13K]

Well, that's Nightwish for ya,... and it's "army", we ARE here for the emotions, because that is exactly what Nightwish does for all of us. It's safe to say, nobody from the NW fanbase will make fun of anyone who experiences emotions in music, we all have that here, it's one of the combining factors even. And lets face it, the voice of Marko is amazing, Floor is amazing, but together... they blend so amazingly well, having literal crossover points where they become one voice. Those two harmonizing together, are magical to me in how they can transport you into their story and world of mystery, disconnecting you from the real world for a few moments.

[@marcelolthof7777]

Don’t ever apologize for getting and showing your emotions. This song and several other songs of Nightwish have the same effect on me.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

I truly love when I can feel something with music

[@bobsuisse2]

That's why we all love Nightwish ❤. Simone can also bring you to tears. Please react to Epica feat. Apocalyptica "Rivers" live and you will discover a completly different side of her. For me NW and Epica are...

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

I will check it out for sure❤

[@_zuri_]

I feel like your induction into nightwish is a lot like my own! Years ago I remember listening to the same album you did and liking it and that's about it. I'd listen to it now and then, and I remember I really liked this song too! Then somehow I fell down the rabbit hole and my GOD it was an absolute journey. Now live versions are the only versions I'll listen to. And man if this exact performance is what I hear as I'm ferried into the afterlife, I think I'd be able to rest easy lol

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

You said it best, this song wrapping around my like an ethereal blanket is all I need❤

[@PaulOutdoors]

Agree 100%

[@pdutchie4924]

Always chills when the others come in ❣️ NEVER apologize for showing emotions, never. Music is touching and healing our souls.

[@Bunny99s]

Always keep in mind: Music is ONLY about emotions. Every one may react different to certain pieces of music but in the end what makes music music is when it evokes emotions. It could be the lyrics, the melody, the sound of an instrument, whatever. In many cases it somehow connects with some of your personal memories. For example listening to "The Greatest Show on Earth" for the first time sends shivers down my spine when I realised what it actually was about. So for me it was mainly about the topic / lyrics. When I discovered the connection with Richard Dawkins it just amplified that feeling. Up to this day TGSOE gets me close to that initial feeling. It's imprinted in my memory. That's the beauty of music. Everybody reacts different with their personal experience, knowledge and attitude. I had some key moments with Nightwish music in the early 2000. At that time I was attending lan parties, playing CS, Quake and other stuff. We had a medium sized lan community of about 120 ppl and were meeting about twice a year. During that time many quake related videos came out and more or less exposed me to more Nightwish. Songs like Wishmaster or Dark Chest of Wonders were just perfect fits for those videos. So certain songs I immediately connect with that time. Of course everybody has different experiences. I always listened to more or less classical rock and metal. Though my older sister introduced me to other things like Nirvana, Rage against the Machine, Porcupine Tree and many more. My dad made me appreciate more of the jazz / progressive spectrum (Yes, Weather Report, Don Ellis, Brand X, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Manfred Mann,....). My mum was more into salsa, reggae and pop (Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, ...), my aunt was into Fleetwood mac, Genesis, Loreena McKennitt and lately Joe Bonnamassa. My uncle was into Animals / Eric Burdon, Mark Knopfler, Mike Oldfield, The Boxtops, Moody Blues, ... All those shaped my own taste in music. So never be ashamed of what you like. It's your personality and you don't have to be conform to some ideal. If others have issues with that, it's a their-problem :) Keep rocking.

[@rathael1428]

This is in my optinion the next best concert after Wacken 2013. I love the version of The Gratest Show on Earth from this concert. They also did Star Gazers here. Another nice one is the Acoustic version of How's the Heart from Planet Rock. Just Troy and Floor.

[@stafida8624]

The members of Nightwish are not ashamed getting emotional in front of their audience and fans, so our tears are in good company. Btw, wanna see what Marko does with his hands when without bass/guitar? Watch Waltari ft. Marko Hietala, Below Zero (documentary video), it is so fun to see - and his singing is, well, it is Marko. No one does it better.

[@martinklaus2203]

I can't wait for you to react to Nightwish official video of Shoemaker, and then the live version at Hellfest.

[@mikey289cui]

Oh yeah!, first time I heared Shoemaker i was like wow! Awesome… but then I saw the reaction video of suesue and the wolfeman where they explained every single sentence what that song is about , then I watched Shoemaker again…. Then it hit me!!! I literally cried like a baby! My eyes were red for two days…. 😭😭😭

[@duizeltjeeekhoorn6890]

Sweet man, our tears are the most valuable expresion of our souls. To share them with people you don't even know, is a gift beyond gifts.

[@randymarple9830]

All of us cry. How can we not! This band has a way of touching our emotions. The Warning does that too. They have a song that the drummer wrote when she was 13yrs old, about addiction, called Black Holes. I cry every time I hear it. Have heard it hundreds of times and it still makes me cry. The Warning, Black Holes, LIVE @ Dakota Bar. If you react to this, have tissues handy. A sisters trio, from Monterrey, Mexico....reviving Rock&Roll. Warning: They are habit forming.

You're out of control. Just like I was some 4 years ago. :D Good on you for sharing, I couldn't do it.

[@WNYretiree]

Never, ever, be embarrassed by tearing up over any song, Nightwish, or not. If it affects you emotionally, then it is right and good that you express that emotion. This song gets me every time. The video is as close to perfect as any music video can be. Marko's voice is unique. He has the power to dig deep, and pull out whatever emotion he is expressing at the time, in himself, and in us. I think it is the very humanity of it, reflecting a life lived, with all the good, and bad, parts. It's not perfect, but hearing him sing reminds us that is OK, that none of us are perfect either, yet we all have immense value. I am so glad that he, and the entire Nightwish family, came into my life, late as it may be compared to some who have known them for years. They are the most meaningful band that I have ever heard.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

i went back, and I realized when it would show those shots of Marko up close...his face was so comforting and it was weird but I felt such a comfort to where I couldnt hold back the tears.

[@FromG2eminor]

I was about to look up a chill Nightwish song to listen to before bed and this popped up. Perfect!! Thank you!

[@black4pienus]

I've never seen a bad comment on a reaction video that made the channel owner/host cry. People like seeing raw emotions. There are enough fake reaction channels on youtube already. And we especially like to see our favorite bands making people cry. It feels like a compliment I feel honored to accept in the name of musicians we love so much. And this song... It's on my funeral list. I might not be there after I die, but I at least want my loved ones to have a beautiful soundtrack to remember me. It sure helped me after my cousin died. The music they played is now forever linked to memories I had with my cousin. Music can make us feel so much.

[@sagebooker]

Marko's voice mixed with Floor's one... always emotionnal, whatever the way this emotion takes to go through our mind. This "almost" seashanty is very significant and moving, without being gaudy. As for being emotionnal, I like Dead's boy poem from Nightwish too, as for being significant and moving, I like The greatest show on Earth

[@mattgraham2835]

such versatility and variety in both the melodies in the song and the way it makes folks feel and that they can build such a beautiful contrast when it comes to the dark and heavy or melodic and mellow light. and the harmonizing between him and floor when it happens is very cool too

[@WaterBug46]

Emotions are good and thank you for your transparency. It’s an honor. And tears to a Nightwish song? Perfectly normal

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Thanks and much love!

[@ytcag2007]

Hey Cosmic, you cannot stop what is coming. I learned early on that this band...... Jukka/Kai Marko Emppu Tuomas Troy and Floor came together to touch our souls in every way possible and it is perfect! I tend to say I get emotional when I hear perfect music. As a former musician, I used to write and record my own songs but I never felt anything listening back when they were being burned to CD. But when I recorded "Time Stops For No One", and finally listened to the finished song.... that song was so perfect in every way that by the time the first chorus ended, I was in tears. And now it happens with almost every song with this band, those 6 masters of music I mentioned. Even when I was at the concert in NYC, I was so happy just to be there seeing them in person. And when they played Élan, as happy as I was, I was crying from how beautiful that song sounded.... Even live!! I get you bro. Never apologize for sharing your feelings, even if it is by crying. You are not the only one and certainly won't be the last, I promise you that. In fact, listen to it again and cry your ass off!! We all need that every now and then. Thank you for sharing your feelings, the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed. 😊❤️🤘🤘

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

appreciate you so much for always being so kind, and always opening up! Keep being awesome❤

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

John! I have to see em live! I was never big on concerts believe it or not. This channel is changing that

[@PomLimey]

For me tears are a common theme when I listen to Nightwish. The end of Dead Boy Poem, the end of Poet And The Pendulum and the end of Shoemaker will always be a box of tissues moment. To me this shows a person with true empathy and sensitivity. Long May it continue.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

I still have Dead Boy Poem and Shoemaker coming

[@ShazzyZang211]

I'm someone who struggles to express emotion at all, yet music brings emotions out of me like a can opener opening a can of beans. It's every reason I play music. It's every reason I became a musician. It counts as infinite reasons. We all need to feel and to be able to express it. If music helps you to do it, do it, and anyone in the world who shames you for showing it should yeet themselves into space. The song brought out your emotions. Hell yeah

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

much love Shazzy! Music has a way of opening the soul

Greetings from the senior division of the Nightwish army! I'm a 69-year-old guy who discovered Nightwish a couple of years ago and who still has the kinds of emotional reactions you express, even after listening to the same song a dozen times. In 60 years of listening to popular music of all genres, I've never experienced these sorts of reactions to music.

[@skyeroach9885]

Many hugs. This song and MANY NW songs send the heart on a journey. First time I heard this song I did weep as well. But, that is what makes music so wonderful. If you can feel the music and encapsulate the lyrics (if any) it's a portal into a moment of freedom.

First of all, who is cutting onions in here?? :') fr though, it is beautiful to see your deep reaction on the song and all the other Nightwish songs. I think all members of the Nightwish family have cried at least once over their songs, it is totally human and also shows that you are a real, complex, loving person

I never cried when my dad died, I never cried when my children were born but I have cried many a time to numerous nightwish songs. It's weird as some songs seem to bring emotions out you didnt know you had, which I am glad abouit as it makes me feel more human.
