"This is the most personal song I’ve ever written. My testimony for the whole world. With this song I want to apologise everyone who deserves my apology. It also makes an “I don’t care” -statement to them who deserve it. The song is also about what Nightwish means and has meant to me. It’s all, without it I’m dead. I have created it and it has created me. When I pass away, this song’s lyrics are of what I wish to be remembered. An Ocean Soul." Tuomas Holopainen

Thank you for sharing this, i didn't look up a lot of interviews, there's so much information in them

[@Alvvays667]

@@guillaumebalme9932 This comment was made by Tuomas when Wishmaster came out, so not entirely sure where it stands when The Poet and The Pendulum came out....six/seven years later.

[@garywinters4636]

The complicated Maestro. He is a musical genius, and more people need to be exposed to Tuomas work.

[@lenchanted9698]

He also said the idea is pretty much a letter. If he was to die tomorow, he wants these words to be said. For people he cares about to know about it even though he might have never said it in person, apologies he ows to someone and so on

[@joeweller9941]

Without reading all of the comments I’ll say: this entire concert, when a song ends the crowd is chanting, “Floor! Floor! Floor! ...”. That this crowd recognizes the gift they are receiving almost affects me as much as the performance itself. ❤️😭

[@PhilH919]

Very sad that Marco is leaving the band. He will be a great loss. I wish him well and good health.

[@Torsteen-p3d]

Yeah, but it's also understandable. He's 55 years old now, and been struggling with depression all his adult life. Touring probably only worsens that, as well as the fact that the drummer from his band Tarot died a few years ago, and now sometime after Christmas, his Sinergy bandmate and Finnish metal legend, Alexi Laiho, also died from long time health problems that were likely a result of the hard rocker life.

[@tommoxjr]

Can’t be made easier being unable to escape the Finnish dark winter and potential SAD due to Covid travel restrictions.

[@eddiewinehosen6665]

@@Torsteen-p3d No actually he's been quoted to having said touring is what he loves the most. 2020 with the postponed and cancelled tour probably hit him hard combined with his obvious disgust for the music industry, the death of close friends and colleagues as you said and the prospect of no end in sight of the covid pandemic.

[@themajor743]

Indeed. I too hope he will find a way forward to be creative and happy. The band will be fine. I've no doubt that they will find a new, probably younger, band mate who can grow into the role of base player/vocalist as a member of this magnificent group of performers. What an opportunity that will be for whoever joins next.

[@JariJuslin]

Nighwish has this ability to keep going despite lineup changes and Marko and Jukka are still in good terms with the band itself, so it's all good. The only ingredient absolutely necessary for Nightwish magic seems to be Tuomas. Well, we cannot be sure about Emppu!

[@Oldman618]

Floor, standing, arms outstretched, directing the crowd, epic, the sign of a true entertainer.

[@watchtheskies]

There is an interesting story regarding Marko's double neck guitar, The German guitar company 'Warwick' famous for their incredible bass guitars also now owns the much older guitar brand 'Framus', so this particular instrument has a Warwick bass at the top and a Framus guitar underneath, they have different brand emblems on each headstock

One of Floor's finest vocals, plus a hundred other things....Don't know what Planet brought Floor to us, just hoping they never return to pick her up....

[@zahrans]

If I remember correctly, Floor was not well during this concert. You can hear her not at her 100% best in the beginning, but she pulls through like the pro she is.

[@Wollie1979]

Floor is from Planet NL 🇳🇱....the south part of it to be accurate and Im proud to be from the same planet, though I definitely cant sing 😎

[@TheAlja]

I absolutely love Floor. ... But i'm always a bit scepticial when she does the older Tarja songs. At least some of them, her Ghost Love Score is stunning. But this one and some others, Everdream for example, they just were written for Tarja and Floor does not flourish as much in them as Tarja did.

[@brianalmeida1964]

Really enjoyed your analysis of this masterpiece of a song. It's going to be really strange watching Nightwish minus Marko in the future. He brings so much to this band and he's going to be greatly missed. Stay safe Christi 🤘✌

[@thomaslilly9558]

Christi and Floor....Who could ask for more !

[@oktober-vh6gl]

"so much to live for, so much to die for... if only my heart had a home..." "walk within my poetry, this dying music... my love letter to nobody..." "every thought, the music I write, Everything... a wish for the night..." it's hard to pinpoint just one with so much wonderfulness in the Nightwish catalog, but I always come back to this as my favorite. It's so simple in its complexity, and as a musician myself, I just can't get enough of it when a song brings out emotion in the listener... but it's even more magical when the song draws out many emotions! The song is so soft, beautiful, and personal as it opens, you can just feel your heart cracking open, then it moves to a place where I want to dance, then at the end as Floor starts in the basement of her range and carries the lyric up into a full belt, it's right back to your broken heart but with power instead of fragility. I think that's the magic of Tuomas' writing and Floor's delivery. the song starts breaking your heart with this fragile sound and ends by breaking your heart with raw power. I could write a book about this composition and not have the words to cover it all.

[@jimharris367]

There is no one like them, no one who can convey emotion as powerfully as they do time after time 🤘

[@krosa2471]

I have 3 favorite Nightwish songs. Ghost Love Score (Floor’s version), Dead Boys Poem, and Poet and the Pendulum. As someone who has had a lifelong battle with depression Poet and the Pendulum really speaks to me. It resonates deeply with me. I was bullied as a child and had no friends for most of my life, so Dead Boys Poem also really speaks to me. I completely understand how music can be all you have sometimes. Love Nightwish and the music they have brought into my life since Oct 2019.

[@WardDorrity]

There is so much genius in this work that it is difficult to know where to begin. Everything, from the stage set to the lyrics to the music itself has a purpose. Floor's heart-rendingly beautiful performance is beyond comparison - only she could deliver the emotional truth of this work. There is so much more here to understand. Note the swans in the background - these are the swans of Tuonela, said in Finnish mythology to be the conveyors of souls to the afterlife. Note how the boy has his arms raised in the hope and the longing of embracing that journey, yet - there he remains. It's worth a listen to Sibelius' The Swan of Tuonela to see where part of Tuomas ' inspiration came from. Here's Herbert von Karajan and the Berliner Philharmoniker: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpvcfYqlf9ung6c. Exquisite. Emppu's ravishingly beautiful guitar solo is David Gilmour class in the way it conveys the sadness, the anguish of a soul who has been left behind in a lonely and forsaken world. It's a cry of anguish, reinforced by the funereal march of the music behind and complementing the solo. You'll hear that same sort of expression in David Gilmour's last solo of Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb. I always felt that towards the end, it became the funeral march of a lost and tormented soul. All of the anguish and regret of something glimpsed and lost is distilled and channeled into one extended searing cry. So it is with Emppu's solo, yet it is so deftly and effortlessly woven into this masterpiece of Tuomas' that you don't quite realize what it's doing to you. Note that there is none of Emppu's usual smirking or goofing around in this one. He is dead serious (excuse the pun) and it shows in his expression. So much so that he has to turn away from the audience when he is done. And then there's Floor. This is the most emotional performance I have yet seen from her. She feels all of the passion, sorrow, despair, longing and even anger in every note of this epic masterpiece. She becomes the song and then she sings right into your soul and utterly wrecks it. It hits so hard. If this doesn't have tears streaming down your face, then you have no understanding and no soul.

This is a Warwick/Framus double neck bass (top) and guitar (bottom) custom made for Marko, shall I say now, past member of the Nightwish 😢. Quite a heavy instrument (i think over 20 lbs). This song is sad but beautiful. Look how serious always so cheerful Emppu (the guitarist) is there when doing his solo. Floor's stage charisma is mountainous (although they say she was sick back then). This performance is excellent in every ways possible. And very nice words from you, Christi. 😔👍

Marko is playing a double neck guitar. The bottom neck is a hybrid electric/acoustic six-string guitar, the top a standard four-string bass. At the beginning of the song he is playing the six-string; later he changes to the bass.

I am having a very hard time watching Nightwish videos at the moment following Marko’s announcement, but this is a favorite I am looking forward to.

[@Rybore13]

I really only discovered Nightwish about a month ago and I can't wait till this pandemic is over and we may be able to see them live again

[@JariJuslin]

Tuomas said in an interview that this was him writing his own eulogy. How he wants to be remembered. And now in 2023 we know his wish for his music to outshine himself and leave a permanent mark has come true. Back when this song was written it was still uncertain. I read "chance for immortality" to mean he hopes his art will long outlive himself. And I am quite sure it will. And even if it doesn't, he's certainly touched many people deeply.

[@LuisRdzG10]

I’m so worried about Nightwish future now that Marko left the band last week. You can replace the bass player but his vocals and stage presence can’t be replaced. The set list for live performances is going to suffer major changes. I’m guessing Troy is going to play the acoustic guitar parts Marko used to play (like in this song).

[@tjerkkorving]

While Troy can play a lot of instruments, what can he do vocally I wonder. Heard him singing but no idea if he can also get more gritty for example. Wouldn't surprise me if he's going to take care of a part of the vocals Marco used to do.

[@LuisRdzG10]

@@tjerkkorving Troy doesn’t have the voice for that type of screams Marko uses to do, mate. On acoustic version sure, but in normal metal presentations... I just don’t see him singing “I wish I had an angel”

@@MrDjTilo I know, but I can’t stop thinking about the future live performances. When Tarja left and Annette arrived, songs like Wishmaster were scratched for good from the set list, and must of them haven’t returned like that song which used to be a regular on set lists. Imagine how many songs could not longer be played because of this. Let’s see what happens.

Hi Christi, at last a great reaction about Nightwish! The guitar of Marko is called "the beast" and it is a German custom made 'double neck', on the top the bass and under the guitar. And then, our Valkery Goddess Floor is a high sensitive person, she 'lives' every song she performs. Greetings from the Netherlands. Oh, PS..

[@benbermusics]

Eager to see this Christi! For me DBP is in the league of Poet and te Pendulum as a song that takes you on an emotional journey right from the start. The build-up in this relatively short song is huge. And the voice, from so fragile to a shout out at the end, it touches something tender I wasn't prepared for. Hope to see you enjoy this as much as I did!

[@len2193]

It's great to see a reaction channel find and marvel at the magnificence of Nightwish. I'm so glad I discovered them too.

[@FromTheHeartWoodMK]

Okay so first off, this instrument that Marco is using is an electric guitar/bass guitar combo. He's well known as The bassist of Nightwish but also an very accomplished guitarist in his own right as he has a brother who also plays guitar (Zachary Hietala) and together they have had their own band (Tarot) long before he joined Nightwish. So he plays both guitar and bass, he uses this same guitar in the live version of "The Islander" Live in Tampere. As for the song, I won't go into the deepest meanings of all the lyrics, but overall the "Dead Boy" is referring to the lost innocence of childhood that we all must make the choice to kill at some point in our lives in order to become adults and "mature". This song is a love letter to all who know him as the innocent and loving soul that he would like to be known as and a simple "up yours" to all who didn't see him for his true worth. So he kills the child, the dead boy, and becomes the Ocean Soul, a Lonely Soul. He wishes he didn't care for the Child, but he can't help but wish for those days again. The ocean soul is a whole different thing with which he has alluded to for years. Deep, Silent, Constant, But always changing. Personally i see it as the ocean, no matter how it appears on the surface, calm or tumultuous, there's always deep, dark turmoil going on underneath that no one can see.

[@Tobi-bo4ir]

[@garywinters4636]

[@davidschull872]

Thank you! Awesome reaction! Whenever the word "boy" is used in Nightwish song it is pertaining to Tuomos himself.

Hello Christy, how nice that you want to discuss this beautiful song by Nightwish. This song is now in a different light since Marko announced his departure from Nightwish a few days ago. This is a big loss for Nightwish. We will certainly miss Marko. Marko can no longer muster the motivation to act. I understand his motivation and I respect his decision. In his case the only right decision, also for Nightwish, no matter how difficult. Nightwish continues to look for a new bass player who will fit seamlessly into the band. I hope they will continue in the usual way. Greetz Henny

If you notice, Marco is playing a six-string guitar, which is on the bottom. On the top is a bass guitar, which typically are four string. This way, he can quickly switch from on to the other as he typically plays bass for the band.

[@Thorgrim247]

Great to se you again Christy. Loved your reaction to one of my very favorite Nightwish songs. You are correct about the meaning of this song. However, there is some addition details coming from Tuomas himself as well. It is very much autobiographical. Tuomas was the youngest child and several tears younger than his older brother. He has talked about growing up in a rural area of Finland without much interaction from other children. He was on his own and developed his imagination and fascination with fantasy out of necessity. This is one cause of his very introverted personality. This is a very emotional and personal song for Tuomas. The small child's voice represents Tuomas speaking. When asked what this song was about "Tuomas has said about this song, that it's about if he were to die tomorrow, what would he want to say to everyone that he loves, and that love him..." Notice the small boy on the screen reaching out to the flying swans on the screen. The swan is the guide to the afterlife in Finnish mythology. He is reaching out to implore them to take him with to the other side. A beautiful song filled with sadness from an unfulfilled destiny. These are the actual spoken words (The Dead Boy's Poem) If you read this line Remember not the hand that wrote it Remember only the verse Songmaker's cry, the one without tears For I've given this its strength And it has become my only strength Comforting home, mother's lap, chance for immortality Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew The sweet piano writing down my life Teach me passion, for I fear it's gone Show me love, hold the lorn So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me I'm sorry Time will tell, this bitter farewell I live no more to shame, nor me, nor you And you I wish I didn't feel for you anymore A lonely soul - Sung by Floor An ocean soul A lonely soul An ocean soul

Thank you, for the care and respect you put into your reactions these songs deserve. There is something about Floor that gets me everytime . She's exquisite! Nightwish forever in my ❤

[@alixghandour]

Im so glad you finally reacted to this!

[@anssia3123]

A lot of Tuomas' songs mention Dead Boy (the child within) or the end of innocence in some way. He's also mentioned this in interviews. The loss of childlike naivety that Tuomas wishes he could still have. Great reaction once again Christi. I love how you GET Nightwish. This band has been my emotional safe space for a long time now. It's beautiful to see someone experiencing it for the first time, and explaining the technique at the same time. Love your videos.

Hello Christi, you probably won’t read this because it’s been a long time ago since you reacted to this video. But just in case you do I have to say this. I love NightWish and Floor and listen to their music all the time but especially when I feel down I watch You react to them over and over again because not only their music but also your positivity always makes me feel so much better. Thank you for that. 🙏🫶🤘🇳🇱

“Lushnes” is a good word for the start of this song! Another channel mentioned the last note is a high F sharp - ( I don’t know these things) but it sounds amazing, effortless and completes a beautiful song! Once again, every member of Nightwish shines!!!!

[@maddiekane1250]

This is my fav outfit of hers for sure! This song is so emotional for me...I’m totally tearing up!! Oh and I’m loving ur hair very cool!

[@mdudley52]

can't wait for you to react to Floor's new release of Adagio.

[@Newbihno]

"And you....I wish I didn't feel for you anymore...." ...and tears starts pouring every time. This is masterpiece of composure of music, musicianship and masterclass of singer/frontwoman. They have a f*cking mandolin on stage!

Hellloooo ! Loved your reaction girl ! Loved it absolutely ! You need to listen to "7 days to the wolves" from Wembley 2015. It's a must, again, composition wise ! :) Hugs from Romania ! :)

This one was hard for me to listen to during that tour, Christi. I actually walked out of the concert hall to the bar furthest away in the venue to get a drink. Back in the day, when I was going through a difficult time, this song helped me cope with was going on and I emotionally bonded with Tarja's performance through heart and soul. To Anyone else here please don't get me wrong, I love Floor since After Forever, but for me this song will always be special with Tarja. (I did listen to Floor's version last year and of course it's great, bc Floor!!! ❤️)

[@TheVoiceLoveCo]

This means I get to listen to another version of it in the future! Hurray!

[@Alvvays667]

@@TheVoiceLoveCo I fell in love with the album version back then. Might send you a link later to one of the older live performances from 2000, when Tarja was just 23 years old.

[@melicriszoe1]

@@TheVoiceLoveCo Ghost love Score and many other songs are original with Tarja, all the songs sung by Floor are covers or other versions. I love the way Tarja sings all the songs but I don't like all the songs Floor sings. I think here she does a great job of differentiating herself from Tarja. but for example I don't like how Floor sings slaying the dreamer.

[@Robert-cc7up]

@@melicriszoe1 all the songs sang by Floor are covers? Hmmm, do your homework please.

[@melicriszoe1]

@@Robert-cc7up let's see. In the concert Wacken 2013, here is the set list: .Dark Chest Of Wonders (Tarja) Wish I Had An Angel (Tarja) She Is My Sin (Tarja) Ghost River (Anette) Ever Dream (Tarja) Storytime (Anette) I Want My Tears Back (Anette) Nemo (Tarja) Last Of The Wilds (Anette) Bless The Child (Tarja) Romanticide (Tarja) Amaranth (Anette) Ghost Love Score (Tarja) Song Of Myself (Anette) Last Ride Of The Day (Tarja) Outro (Imaginaerum). you're right, other songs are covers of Anette. now let's see "decades, live in buenos aires 2019": End Of All Hope (Tarja) Wish I Had An Angel (Tarja) 10th Man Down (Tarja) Come Cover Me (Tarja) Gethsemane (Tarja) Élan (Floor) Sacrament Of Wilderness (Tarja) Deep Silent Complete (Tarja) Dead Boy’s Poem (Tarja) Elvenpath (Tarja) I Want My Tears Back (Anette) Amaranth (Anette) The Carpenter (Tarja) The Kinslayer (Tarja) Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean (Tarja) Nemo (Tarja) Slaying The Dreamer (Tarja) The Greatest Show On Earth (Floor) Ghost Love Score (Tarja). well, maybe I'm wrong and not all the songs are by Tarja. Do your homework!
