Nightwish - Ever Dream REACTION & REVIEW! FIRST TIME WATCHING...sort of, you'll see what I mean.

[@MrDijaru]

Best Live Singer,best live band.

[@T.P.B.-NL]

Yess, this is for me one of the best songs of Nightwish together with Ghost Love Score, Nemo and The Poet and The pendelen. Dave, if I may call you so. Thank you for doing this reaction. It didn’t surprise me that you changed You’re opion in 5 minutes. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Debbie338]

I freaking love Marko. I also loved your initial complaints about it being a ballad. 😂

[@Pit_Wizard]

To your point about Emppu's playing: In my early journey with metal music, I listened to a lot of bands that would just melt your face off with 2-3 minute guitar solos. I listened to Nightwish at the time, but it always bugged me how reserved his playing was. Now that I'm a more experienced musician and have more developed musical taste, I REALLY appreciate Emppu's tasteful musicianship. Like every member of Nightwish, Emppu puts the needs of the music far above his own ego. It's part of the reason why I still listen to Nightwish today, but haven't really listened to many of those progressive metal bands in like 15 years.

[@clivematthews5296]

There really isn't a poor song at this concert. Taken one at a time they all can hit you but as a complete concert it is almost an overload of emotions.

[@laudatosiadastra1218]

I call this PURE BEAUTY :) But yes gorgeous and beautiful also fits. This song is so breathtaking! Nice reaction..

[@littleraven28]

Great reaction. It's nice to see you react to Nightwish again. It was funny to see your face when you thought it was a ballad😂. She said in the beginning "we're gonna start a little softer".. but after the start, well you got it 😂. I love the energy in this song and you're right Marko is phenomenal. Wacken 2013 - there are no bad songs🤘🏽. Happy New Year 🎊

[@javadan]

This song was my very first exposure to Nightwish. I'm still here, still mesmerized and a life-long NW army recruit. What more to say except another great reaction from you, David.

[@TaverenTech]

When Floor is singing it, its ALWAYS gorgeous and beautiful!!

[@chuckwagon7860]

Yes I agree with your score, big time! Very dynamic song! Blessings to you, Dave and Mrs. Heretic! I pray you guys have a fabulous year!

[@Thorgrim247]

Always love your reactions David. Tuomas knows how to compose a great song. Even a short single like this one. It helps to have the tools he has to work with, including the amazing musicians. We do all miss Jukka. I think he has a very swing feel to many of his rhythms. Respect to Kai!

[@ianchambers37]

Agreed. I do miss Jukka as well a lot. He added a lot to their music. Sadly he had already left the band when I got to see them.

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

This is as perfect performance as it could be. ⛄👍

[@PatStringer89]

Hey man, I've been watching your videos for a while and I've loved Nightwish since the beginning of the adventure with the three singers that I all appreciate, a little crush on Floor Jansen and Tarja Turunen I love the emotions they emerge, without forgetting of course the musicians who are all talented, I like your comments on their music and your emotion every time. Thank you for this video and hello from France. 😉🤘🎸

[@ToddPro]

Great tune, saw them live in Minneapolis last year, what a fricken' treat and absolute bucket list seeing them LIVE! Great tune and reaction buddy!

[@ZParker619]

Know I'm a day late but was just too busy yesterday to watch. Glad I had the time today as I adore this song and I've really been looking forward to you reacting to it. This is a song I first discovered when I first heard Nightwish (in 2007 or so) and I've adored this song since. While Tarja both album and live is amazing on this song something about this particular version really sticks with me and I've yet to be able to truly explain it. Looking forward to the next reaction to Nightwish from you regardless of how long from now it may be, ill always check them out. Happy 2023 to you and the Mrs. Wish you both health and happiness this year!

[@janihaavisto79]

BTW Not so long ago Floor asked NW fans what song is their favorite on Floor time catalogue. And Ever Dream was fan favorite by huge margin. Eventho this was written when Tarja was in the band. And Floor put this song in official NW YT channel as a thank you for the fans.

[@MatsGarage]

I love this song because of its duality, starting out slow and delicate, then changing up into that higher energy and in the end when the overdrive kicks in that just showing off.

[@craigbolton5093]

Aside from "The Holy Trinity", this is my favorite performance by Nightwish. Good on you for revisiting it!

[@gene6690]

Welcome back to Nightwish reactions 💪💪 Truly one of the top Nightwish songs. The last minute of Everdream, with the double bass drum and music intensity, is like a runaway steam train with Floor as the conductor and the guys stoking that boiler 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@damonbryan7232]

This song always make me think about driving a super sports car. You start off slow. Then it's just going through the gears. Till your doing 200 mph in top gear by the end of the song.

[@astraeetje5048]

Knowing where this would go, I had so much fun seeing you trying to keep an interested face 😂 so glad you liked it after all ❤ 9.1 😮thanks for that! Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 🤘🏻

[@darpompie4354]

You never fail to entertain me! LOL at the flip. As you were shaking your head at the beginning part, I already knew what was going to happen. I was just hoping you would stop it just before they flipped and tell us you don't like it and sure enough, just seconds before. Whammo. Lol.

[@birdbranch]

Instant Floorgasm. This is my favorit song by Nightwish. Keep up the Good Work. Love from Sweden.

[@recentisland1513]

they played this song at the LA show you saw..After seeing NW x3 in North America at the small venues I flew to Munich to catch the full pyro/light board experience exactly a month ago... so fantastic!!! ( but they did not do this song).Now trying to figure out how to get funds to go to a Finland show in Kitee or Vaasa next June without robbing a bank

[@jakajaka22]

You can be forgiven for losing track of this one in all of the awesomeness that was the Wacken 2013 set. As far as the "swerve" goes, you should almost be expecting those by now. Tuomas is a master at establishing your expectations and then utterly betraying them.

[@TimoArula]

First things first... Happy New Year !!! Well...At that time in 2013, this song was the most challenging vocal piece for Floor (believe it or not). And now, this song is not only in Nightwish set list (Current tour), but in Floor's Solo Concert, that was in Amsterdam, as well (I still have to specify the set list for the Floor's upcoming solo tour, but one thing is certain, Floor loves this song) . I heard this song "Live" last year, and even without Marko, Floor did his parts beautifully and this song IS forever beautiful still on this day ! NWSU 🤘😎🤘

[@billtbodger]

This song has so many emotional changes, and so much power in it, and boy does it it ROCK!!, Wacken was a defining moment for Nightwish but also for live music videos IMHO, simply fantastic

[@ArtMateurMusic]

The tears of a champion, thank you for continuing to react to nightwish, it makes me very happy to see that my emotions are not just fanboy, but that it is part of nightwish's music, which manages to evoke so many emotions in so many people, why yes, I guess this is what all of us who see Nightwish's reactions are looking for, seeing everyone feel equally overwhelmed haha

[@_zuri_]

I was grinning so hard when you were talkin about it being a ballad aaaaaaaah that was a great reaction once the swerve hit xD I feel you though, I'm not a fan of ballads myself. So glad this song hit you in much the same way it hits me.

[@TomTomson81]

Floor's most difficult song to sing so far, according to her own statement. Because in the second half she is almost constantly in the highest notes.

[@frankmerris8821]

from dread to utter joy.does not get any better then that

[@clansolace]

It was fun to watch your evolution of emotions in this resection. When you were writing it off early, internally I was laughing because I knew what was coming. Really enjoyed the reaction and review. Thanks for the video!

[@elvwood]

Particularly good reaction, thanks - you got me laughing out loud at least four times. And double pigs for Marko! Well deserved. I reckon watching a whole concert is a very different experience, you're likely to have a more diffuse appreciation. Oh, and I was stupidly pleased with myself for predicting your rating, which doesn't happen often...

[@EllenbergW]

You: "Ah, that's why I don't remember it, it's a ballad" Me: Face-splitting grin :)

[@eFiend]

The juxtaposition of the ballad start and that double bass end is great.

[@bradt8019]

That blow up guitar always puts a smile on my face! ..😏👍

[@Destorrrrr]

The way Floor cuts off the note so cleanly at 18:00 is impeccable. And then the following line where she looks over to the right at Marko while belting it out, I’ve seen that movement rarely before where singers are truly feeling the lyrics. Amazing, I’m blown away every time.

[@robertsheeler321]

Yee Haa Nightwish gotcha again. When you did the full show with Jen she told you this was her favorite song .Great job

[@barrydunham896]

That whole show is amazing. Lol i don't really like slow songs. I'm not sure how I'd describe this song. Starts slow and just keeps picking up speed. Floor is just Floor beautiful and amazing Marco and the rest are epic. Just a fantastic song and amazing performance

[@chriso6719]

In the Wacken 2013 setlist, Ever Dream was song #5. Ghost River was #4, Storytime was #6. In between those 2 might be a big reason why you don't remember this one. You've listened to enough Nightwish, you should know by now to expect swerves. LOL

[@EdvdH1959]

Wow, do I love your comments... You're the best reactor I've ever seen!

[@THEDavidHeretic]

Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate them....FEELIN' YOU!!!

[@Captain_Kirk116]

I didn't realize you and Jen reacted to this whole concert, I knew you guys had reacted to the entire Hellfest concert. I agree about Floor and Marko's vocals too, they compliment each other very well.

[@NorbertPueschel]

Ha, ha, ha! Fooled you! ;-)You did not listen to Floor‘s words: „We gonna START a little softer…“ Ever dream is one of my most favorite Nightwish songs, full of emotion; and I really liked that you felt the same.

[@OJB42]

Definitely one of their best songs, along with Romanticide, Ghost Love Score, Nemo, Dead Boy's Poem, Sleeping Sun, Phantom of the Opera, Shoemaker, Gethsemane, Storytime, Greatest Show on Earth, How's the Heart, Poet and the Pendulum,... There are so many!

[@mattgraham2835]

he says he we go and pauses for a min and then a min more i love reaction videos too but uhh i want to hear more of her/them just the way it is she is a second to none top notch rock and metal singer

[@ktay7382]

Great review 👏 🤘🇬🇧

[@williammceuen8730]

Dude, I can't believe you are just now getting to this song. I think it is one of the best songs from this performance!

Very nice to see you again with Nightwish 😊🤘🏻 Greetings, Geert

[@michael.albinus]

Man, did I miss your Nightwish reactions! And you totally nailed it: Marko and Jukka were awesome!!! I miss them sooo much - this voice and this way to slay the drums, unbeatable 😁 If you wanna (privately) check out how Floor ( and Nightwish ) sounds together with Yannis, there is a live video from Prague ( 2 weeks ago ) where they performed "Sahara" together. Sound quality is not so good BUT these 2 voices together... m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/opynY2msgbqrgac After Floor/Marko the best duet I ever saw. After the song even Floor said to him "What a voice!". I think this says it all! 😁

[@ianchambers37]

Agreed. Miss them both very much being in the band.

[@BigzampanoXXL]

This song is the NW-Favorite of Just Jen...

[@larryd4352]

What about Jukka on the drums in the last minute or so of the song! He's killing it! It's one of my favorite songs from Nightwish. Great reaction!

[@josephbishop3590]

Thanks Dave! It's no surprise to me, but your reaction kinda restores my faith in reactors. You hit absolutely Everything I love about this song. Jukka working his magic, for me, is the very thing that hooked me when introduced to GLS and the Nightwish sorcery. LOVE Jukka. Marco's vocals are just stunning and give this soaring track even more 'lift' in those moments. Floor's stellar interpretation and EPIC (word fits here) climb for the climax is indescribable. You described your reaction exactly as I would mine. Thanks

[@BoonesRevenge]

Why you been away from Nightwish for so long? This is a fantastic song. The power and beauty is just another level

[@Tarkus_]

Pleasantly surprised at how much you liked this one, as it's pretty mainstream and straightforward by Nightwish standards (I think it was one of their bigger hits). Should have known you'd see past that, to find all the greatness under the "mainstream" surface, though. I'm with you on Jukka. I absolutely love Kai, but Jukka might be the most entertaining drummer to watch I've ever seen, but he's also a damn good drummer, too. Too bad health issues forced him to leave, but I can't imagine a better replacement for Nightwish than Kai, so Nightwish fans are damn lucky, in any case.

[@Adudeinthewoodz]

Looking forward to this :)

[@davidellinsworth3299]

Mr Heretic.... now you should know by now never to assume or prejudge a Nightwish song 🤣🤣🤣. After hearing your response to the opening I made a prediction... "well if Marko's vocals don't get him the double kick, modulation and Floor's high belts at the end will 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 sucker!!!!!!!! I'm kidding David. Great reaction as always. Yes indeed, David Heretic, Feelin' You!!!! C'mon now!!!!!

[@Thescottishguyreacts]

How can you not remember that. I seen the concert once and this and ghost love score stuck out like crazy also my Walden and Storytime

[@rickphil9999]

Hi again, David. Love seeing you back again with more Nightwish live reactions. Fantastic reaction. Very funny watching them get you going on the ballad rant and then switch it up immediately after you stopped. I watched you and Jen react to this show and I watched your reactions to seeing Nightwish on back-to-back nights in L.A. in May. My wife, Carol, and I got to see them live at the Warfield Theatre on May 18th. Loved, loved, loved it. By the way, just in case you want to see a lovingly remastered video and audio (60 FPS | High Bit Rate - props to Remastercide) of their nighttime full concert at the Deichbrand 2022 festival in Germany, I have placed links to every song in that setlist below for your convenience.

Marko has said that Floor's incredible voice made it possible for him to crank it up to 11 as well - something he couldn't do with Tarja or Anette. Every member of the band makes the others better.

Just watched your reaction to Ghost Love Score yesterday and noticed the bad clapping there too, LOL.

[@musicfan9291]

I cannot say for sure as I was not at you show, bt I would be 100% surprised if you did not hear this live. This song like GLS and Storytime are staples that they play at almost all their shows.

[@hardcorechristopher9174]

Great song and Marko reminds me of saruman from the Lord of the rings if he was a bass player

[@TaverenTech]

GLS lacks one big element, no Marco singing, so its understandable that its not top favorite NW song. Its a great intro to Floor though for new reactions to NW. I've heard one reactor say that his favorite singer of NW was Marco! (kind of avoiding the Tarja vs Floor debate and well done).

[@steviesellers]

Floor has said this is the hardest vocal to do on any Nightwish song

[@marek3707]

"Why don't I remember that?" Ha,ha - I think I know why.... I've experienced it myself. That's how it is sometimes when you're listening to music with a great woman, and Jen is undoubtedly one. It's hard to focus completely on the music and talk to someone at the same time. Divisibility of attention is not our strong male trait. It was a long video with Jen - I watched it, so I know what you're talking about. It's a whole, long concert. If you wanted to analyse every song in detail, this meeting of yours would probably last several hours. I kind of regret it- I would have loved it to be that way.... It would have been very interesting!
