I've been a Nightwish fan for almost 20 years and as a singer, I always put all my attention to the vocals but thanks to your videos, now I understand Tuomas' music better and enjoy their songs so much more. Thank you!!! 😃

[@AngelesBustamanteM]

Floor said this was the hardest song for her, because she doesn't use her head voice :) and seen how insane it is, I believe her :P And Marko ❤ awesome!

[@572Btriode]

Yep she did. I can understand it is relentless in places. Interestingly, Fil, of Wings of Pegasus, has been using some software to look at vocal performances, apparently Henk Poort had some tweaking done in Beste Zangers, Floor did not. Here he has analysed the Wacken GLS performance, as we thought no tweaking at all and Floor is so accurate with her pitch. It's worth a look if you like the technicalities. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYS3k3R8f86Ue9k

She said on her live stream today , that "shoemaker " is the hardest song for her to do now .

"Ever Dream" was number 5 on the setlist after "Ghost River" and before "Storytime"

Song #5 of 15. There really wasn’t any let up at this show. Band and crowd fully into it the nearly 2 hours. Hope to see more Nightwish analysis.

[@JustJenReacts]

My favorite song by Nightwish!!! This is EXACTLY how I feel about them. How they came into my life. And how they never left me and I shall never leave them!!! 💕

[@alexandersteinmetz6857]

May you live long and Healthy, Mistress of the NW Army;)

Imagine seeing you here Just Jen Reacts! 😍😍😍 Love ya!!! Hoping that my Pain Management Doc will find something in my X-Ray's and MRI on my lower back and give me some injections to help the swelling in my lumbar disc's! The nurse that was over seeing my MRI came up to me afterwards and hugged me! She said that she wasn't sure how I was handling the pain that she knew I was in! I just shrugged my shoulders and said, " I have no choice." Nightwish helps me get through the days and nights...

Welcome Back to a Nightwish reaction and analysis. This is a masterclass performance. The last minute is a runaway train 🚂

[@TheMuserResolute]

It is!! The pull back of the texture, the key change, and the rhythmic drive in the bass drum. Absolutely love it!

[@malyvo0]

You are just brilliant. I love how you can pick the chords almost immediately, but not just pointing them out, but also putting them into perspective and in the context of the composition. I even love how you tease your audience every now and then with the "reactionbait" concept, almost as if you wished for some over the top comments which you often pin to the top of the page... Anyways - thanks for you excellent work and keep being you. Love from the Czech Republic.

6:25 This part and then the build up to explode into the chorus gives me goosebumps every time

Hi! Nightwish Iowa here. This hit my reaction feed first before your Ghost Love Score reaction did. You had me at "G-Minor." I love it when someone knows enough to pick out the notes. Well, on that note, since it is my fav, I'm heading back to Ghost Love Score first. I'll be back for this one! :) Enough of my puns.

Thanks for your kind comments! Got heaps of Nightwish stuff here (which is good that you’re late so you can binge then)!

you really upgraded your equipment, nice mic. Since you really like nightwish when are you going to dive into epica? A good start would be one of their very first songs "cry for the moon" or their latest ""omega live" performances which are excellent quality

NIGHTWISH AND MEGADETH?? 🔥 MARCO SINGING HEAVY SOLO? 🤘🏻 My suggestion is another cover of them, which we HARDLY see on KZbin. And if you like a HEAVY Nightwish sound, this will be a very nice one! 🔥🤘🏻😎 Marco is singing solo on this one. Check out their cover of Megadeth, symphony of destruction. AND A HEAVY SIREN FLOOR & MARCO? The second also hardly on KZbin, is a heavy Siren, The Siren performed live of course by Floor Jansen, and also again a very good singing Marco🔥❤️🤘🏻 Enjoy it, and I with you!

[@domfol5515]

Thanks for your views Tuomas , I’ve not seen anyone to be brave enough !😊 Marco is a legend 😎🤘, incredible vocals while also playing bass 🤷‍♂️

[@NickBR57]

You certainly have a backlog. There's the whole 2018 Buenos Aires concert yet... Nightwish are masters of not stringing out the ending. Perfect cadence and instant finish is a common pattern. Until Shoemaker Floor said this was her most challenging Nightwish song. I suggested Shoemaker would be harder and some argued but tonight she said as much. Floor's pitch is almost perfect. Fil from Wings of Pegasus analysed yesterday with pitch software and showed how accurate she is.

[@TheMuserResolute]

I'd imagine so, especially moving into the final section! Shoemaker is something else. I think we all get blown away by the ending, but we tend to forget the rhythmic and pitch intricacies in the verses, which surely present some significant vocal technical difficulties

[@NickBR57]

@@TheMuserResolute Exactly. I always think it must be incredibly difficult to break the lyric into unnatural pieces to match the complex rhythm throughout. The first time I heard it I was astounded and immediately thought it must be even harder than Ever Dream. But Ever Dream is hard in a different way. It's high and gets higher and is high energy as soon as that gorgeous intro is over.

[@joelmaynard3897]

Informative as always, thanks Mike. By the way, talking about Floor, Fil of the channel wing of Pegasus just release a video of an analysis of her Voice (and Henk too).Isolating the voice and using a pitch monitoring software to see the accuracy of her voice. Really interesting even if most of us knew the result :-) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYS3k3R8f86Ue9k Can't wait your next analysis.

[@TeemarkConvair]

yes,, that was So interesting..

[@ioaKouts]

Floor Jansen said in one of her Fan Fridays videos that "Ever Dream" is the most challenging song she has ever sang: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ2sZHR9ds55bZo

[@roy19491]

the Nightwish's record label, Nuclear Blast, does not invoke copyrights on their KZbin shares

[@TheMuserResolute]

Thanks. They're ruthless with content ID claims (one of the most strict out of all record labels which i've done videos on), but only to have them ineligible for monetisation (which is justifiable considering how "reactions" tend to leech off of the artists). I don't bother trying to monetize the Nuclear Blast content, except for if I think there are actual grounds for it, but was worried that this may be blocked (alas it wasn't). I only really challenge content ID for monetisation if I think I present something in my video which actually has some kind of merit/transforms it in a way where viewers can gain something more out of it. An example of a video i've done this for is here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6LPZYxnZ92Vmc0 - Nuclear Blast tried to claim content ID for this, but eventually released it over to me (after an appeals process)

[@ssc00p]

BTW: I dunno if anyone told you this already, but Nightwish reactions wont ever get blocked... and actually Nightwish band member are watching reactor videos (if they are good enough, word gets to them of worthy vids)...

I HAVE BEEN A MUSICIAN SINCE THE FIFTH GRADE AND I STILL PLAY AT CHURCH AT 73 YRS. KEEP UP ON NIGHTWISH, MY FAV BAND.

[@TheMuserResolute]

Yess this was an issue I had with this video - I was worried that I did not explain some of the concepts for those who don't have as great an understanding of music (which is not my brand unfortunately). Hopefully I can work on this more. Regarding to not stopping, this was absolutely an exception! I'm sorry to say, I usually stop much more. P.S. Now my favourite band too!

[@jewfish68]

When you get to Song Of Myself (number 14 on the Wacken '13 setlist) I have favour to ask. It is based on a Walt Whitman poem. The full song (but sadly not in the live version) has a spoken section that ends with the words "And there forever remains That change from G to E minor". For those like me with no understanding of music theory can you explain what those words might mean in the context of this song?

[@TheMuserResolute]

Thanks! Yes I gladly will! So this does not happen in the Wacken version?

[@jewfish68]

@@TheMuserResolute I've only heard the ~6 minute spoken part in the studio version. Although at the end of the live version of the song that last sentence is displayed on the stage screen. There is also this version from Nightwish Arena where the poem section is nicely appended to the Wacken '13 live performance. This would be fine if you are ok to run through the whole 13 minutes. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaS1mIKep5h9qs0

Tuomas and his "A Lifetime of Adventure", when? ;)

[@TheMuserResolute]

Thank you! Yeh I realised afterwards that I didn't watch the official Nightwish one 🤦‍♂️ Regarding Tuomas' "A Lifetime of Adventure" - I want to be as prepared as possible, and possibly not treat it as a reaction considering I can offer a lot more from knowing it well. I also think it may be beneficial to view the whole work, "Music Inspired By The Life And Times Of Scrooge.'" That being said, my knowledge of Scrooge McDuck is limited, and I'll be really doing my research first. I truly want to be offering the best educational value I can in my videos

[@monksuu]

@@TheMuserResolute Here's my suggestion about the issue of Scrooge: 1) Give us a limited reactolysis for the ALoA as an introductory track from the album, just like you did for Ever Dream or whatever song that started the journey across Human Nature. 2) Then you can do whatever research (without listening to tracks of course) because diving into the whole album and Scrooge McDuck. 3) Maybe revisit ALoA afret or during your journey through the album and then you can put in your educational values properly. We all know that you're going to be listening songs on repeat after the initial listen as you done GLS and other stuff you've done. Why delay it for no good reason, right? ;)

[@kunou4527]

"I think I've got a backlog of Nightwish". RIP, my guy. Father Time will come for you before you clear that queue. I'm pretty honest about my position on this song. I prefer Tarja singing it in the End of an Era concert. It's nothing about Floor's technical ability to sing, and more about the obvious disconnect when you've seen Tarja sing it where you know it's Tarja's song. Thus when Floor sings it, she's clearly singing someone else's song.

[@jackskellington9570]

Copyright? I get it. Having to pause? I get it. But you choose not to pause right before the build up and ride it out. And then paused it during that epic part lol
