Andrei, I’m a 67 year old man and have seen this loads of times, including live at Wembley last year, and I still cry like a baby. It’s the power of Floor. Don’t fight it, you’re not alone ❤

[@erwinamesz7642]

Same here! 49 years old music lover and every time again it triggers emotions hidden below rough skin ( and hided to prevent damage). It cleanses, but it still breaks my heart listening to this song.

[@craigbolton5093]

I'm a 67 year old man and have seen this loads of times, including live in NYC last year, and... I concur

[@rwachti]

Same here, 56 years old

[@PaulOutdoors]

Floor just melts you.

[@freddieboyce8597]

Hi Andrei and Domenika. I'm 65 years old I was also at Wembley last year. It's good to know I wasn't the only person tearing up when they did this, David. Mind you, it gets me every time They got me with Sleeping Sun as well. Don't be afraid of the tears, Andrei. They show what a gentle heart you have. 💓

[@sabertoetiger2582]

Only strong and confident people cry sincere tears, Andrei. Be proud of your inner strength.

[@sebastienwaslet9440]

I agree

[@woodchild48]

[@zombiekillr0208]

only real men are not afraid to show their feelings! you guys are great , keep it up,and thank you

[@timotimo4152]

Hey Andrei..I think I've only cried three times in my life. Once when my dog was put down in my arms, once carrying my dad's coffin....and every f***ing time I listen to Nightwish (with Floor) . It's perfectly normal. ;)

[@gene6690]

Someone should write a Thesis on the Floor Phenomenon. She has so positively impacted so many people around the world.

[@TaverenTech]

MTR reactor did kind of do this. He analyzed the chordal structure of Ghost Love Score and Floors vocals and how the composition combined with the vocals can evict such strong emotions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6LPZYxnZ92Vmc0

[@cjmacleod3976]

Andrei, there are so many of us who are affected in the same way…you aren’t alone, and you shouldn’t feel embarrassed by it. If more people felt as deeply, the world would be a much better place. ☮️

[@bchase6970]

So true!

[@h.vanschaijk4189]

I think Dominika is right. It's the message together with Floors powerful yet fragile voice that touches everyone's heart. You wanna be hugged and give hugs at the same time. 🙏❤️👋

[@michaelsargeant4993]

You are sensitive to Floor and her empathic vibrations. It is a wonderful thing and you are so not alone . Watch Troy at the end see his Floorgasm .

[@TimoArula]

Yes, This song hits harder in acoustic. It is more personal...Also, this songs message, is more Powerful in this way, than its original version !!! NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘

[@sandyegun3780]

I'm 73 and this song kills me, every time. It is just perfect.

[@stpfs9281]

I hope not, plenty more years yet!

[@michaelsargeant4993]

This is mega emotional, dont worry to show your feelings. I cry every time and Ive seen it hundreds of times .

[@kimmikke_]

Andrej ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Blessed are the ones, who dare to show their heart to anyone, because they are the strength of the mankind and they will carry us all to sanctuary, when it is needed!

[@benedictmohr1075]

Man i cant. I always cry by myself when I watch the song. Seeing you getting so emotional over it is almost to much to handle for me. Hugs for everyone who need one ❤

[@foolofatook2699]

I've been watching Nightwish reactions for about 4 years, and I can say that you guys are my favorite to watch react. A lot of people fake reactions trying to get views, and some folks just don't have any reactions at all. There are plenty of good reactors out there, but you guys truly feel the emotions that Nightwish tries to convey, and you show it. I regularly tear up at a lot of Nightwish songs, songs I've heard dozens of times! That's why I love them so much, they speak to my emotions, whether it be happy, sad, relaxed, excited, it doesn't matter! I'm glad to see it affect others the same.

[@NickBR57]

So many, yet many seem real too. (Great moniker by the way 👍😁)

[@TaverenTech]

When Floor sings like this, every little boy (inside of real men) thinks of their mother and what it feels like to be held and loved unconditionally... that is why this makes men cry. As an interesting aside, this is my 4yr old boy's favorite grown up song. He makes me play it on the ride home from Preschool. He sings the entire thing and knows the lyrics by heart.

[@pdutchie4924]

Nice one right, ALWAYS chills. It just goes straight to the soul 🤷🏼‍♀️ It’s a beautiful thing music can touch us like this ❤️ Their harmonies are gold! Did you see Troy’s face at the end? 😄

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

This is one of my absolute favorites. The message is so beautiful: kindness, caring and love. I like the album version a lot, but this version is more emotional due the intimate acoustic setting. Andrei, don't shame your tears. I'm 60 years old big, bulky and very seasoned guy, still this do it to me everytime 😢. And l'll see them live next summer. ⛄❄👍

[@peterdejongh3587]

Haha! So glad there are more ,tough, guys who tear up when Floor sings. Been there and will be there.😊😊😊 No need for shame Andrei. We are under her spell. 😄😄😄

[@alleninfinity6730]

Floor's voice does that to me too, and I am a big tough guy. She has that affect on many people, nothing to be ashamed of, and that is the one thing that makes me nervous to see her live. I never cry, Floor has that power.

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

I am piling on for you Andrei, I am 62 and the message gets to me every time. Embrace it brother you are alive and can feel such beauty.

[@kc.brinkman]

Hahaha, i know what too expect now he says. let the tears com out.🙃

[@tomdeppe8184]

Andrei, I will be 61 next week and like you I tend to be a little embarassed to be seen showing emotion. I probably have cried about 5 times since I was a baby. Three years ago I discovered Nightwish and Floor and now have probably cried a liter of tears. There are about 10 songs that I just get lost in the beauty and emotion. I actually feel good about it now. It is like a cleansing of the mind.

[@jovana_r]

Thank you! And a big hug for Andrei. We won't make you listen to it the third time. 😂😘🖤

[@alexcrouwel6942]

This is the perect example how Floor can sing straight through your hart and soul great reaction btw thanks

[@jwilywily]

Compassion!! Honestly not sure why it is such an issue. Floor's voice emotes emotions and I well up regularly listening to her. No shame in being a compassionate human being.🥰

[@sjc9121]

It's not wrong to cry, Andrei. It just shows that you are a person who cares about other people and that you have a good heart.

[@spikenelson6669]

gets me to my guy. Love you two1

[@johnvanderwillik967]

Andrei i love your reaction with tears. This means that you are very sensitive man an also as a human. You two are very warm people. ❤ I think the high notes reach the heart of Andrei

[@duncanwyer2460]

Think Troy may have trouble with his left ear now 🤣 and the smile at the end says it all ☺️

[@henkras2049]

Do not say sorry, but let the tears run and enjoy it! Some people including met are crying time after time, no worries! This is the best reason to cry. There are thousands of reasons to cry, but this is one of the few positive ones.

[@larryd4352]

Andre...I am 65 years young, and this is one of Nightwish songs that gets me crying...no matter how many times I listen to it. Floor's new song, "My Paragon" does the exact same thing! There is something about Floor that touches one's heart and brings out emotions that we're not expecting! It's okay to cry to one of Floors songs!

[@garysalazar2694]

Ive said it before to Dominica and Ill say it to you, dont appologize for tears, they are real . Music touches all of us in different ways. It did the same to me . Great reaction.

[@Raven-fh2yy]

Totally with Andrea here... everytime I hear this version I cry. It is SO beautiful. These ar not tears of sorrow these are tears of wonder that a song can contain so much emotion and love within it and Floor projects that so impossibly well.

[@chriso6719]

Thanks for coming back to the song and this version. It's a beautiful song. If you feel it , you feel it. Shedding a few tears is OK, just proves you are Human. How's the ❤?

[@BigzampanoXXL]

you are so nice to each other. Just great. the song moves.

[@masterrubyan2976]

It's ok to cry with this song, it's an emotional song and lyrics. We all do. 👍

[@dixie3086]

I love how sweet you are to each other. It's beautiful. I think you both know how each other's heart is.

[@damoncher]

Your reaction is amazing! You are not alone. I must confess that I also always cry when listening to this song. This is the magic of Floor and Nightwish.

[@Tanatosanimus]

You know what, Andrei - I have the same as you... with Nightwish, my eyes often "sweat". That's how it works.

[@calibadgerdude6082]

I have to admit, I’m a sucker for a song that touches me emotionally, and this is one that wrecks me every time. It doesn’t even have to be sad to have an effect on me. Music just has a power to make me feel more than any other artistic medium, almost every strong emotion I can recall from my life has music attached to it. Don’t be afraid to feel, it’s what makes us human, embrace it and enjoy it.

[@Harolddespui]

Dominika, it's Floor's voice, she can make a full squad of die-hard Red Baret commando's cry like little babies. Your husband is no exception.

[@nealturner7348]

There is NOTHING wrong with crying to this emotional song. SHOW your emotion. That's what we want in a reaction. Men can cry!! Yes, men can cry. I bawl like a baby every time I watch this. And I've watched it a LOT!! Keep up the great (and emotional) reacts! Regards from 🇺🇸 🤘😎

[@jimmybumgardner8322]

FLOOR dose me that way, no reason, it's her voice. I am right there with you, and it's not every time. Some songs just joyful feelings, others songs my eyes start watering.

[@eddiehesselman3904]

I understand you man....Floor does it always with me too. She has something that you can't explain but it's always warming my heart. Great reaction by the way💗 Kind regards from the Netherlands ❤❤

[@davidellinsworth3299]

The grin between Troy and Floor at the end.... like, "oh yeah, nailed it".

[@dazjackson1972]

This and SHALLOW from Beste Zangers, I only watch when I'm feeling strong- otherwise I get teary. Floor is definitely Dragonborn (Skyrim). She has the "way of the voice" and has mastered the MAKE YOUR FRIENDS CRY shout.

[@kentk2215]

I’m not buying it that you’re a bad person Andrei. You have a good heart, which is why this song gets to you.

[@robertsheeler321]

Andrei your not alone I'm 63 year old man and Floor makes grown men cry tears of joy

[@AndreSomers]

This song has also been done acoustic in the recent European tour. It was wonderful.

[@jennienoppers210]

We all know you ate a realy tough man. And we all know you have a kind heart! I hope you will love that too : it makes you strong!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jmr75]

Nightwish are the only band that ever bring me to tears, absolutely nothing wrong with this my friend. 👍👍👍

[@chrisespinosa6999]

Andrei is Superman and Floor's singing is his Kryptonite! She has a way of doing this to many of us so don't feel bad. You are human and are allowed to feel however you do in the moment. Their emotional songs are a way of therapy and release from everyday life so just go with it and enjoy, you tough guy!

[@ivanhejl2405]

How´s the heart Andrei? If you or anyone can not find a single tear in you your heart must be made of stone….Great reaction guys!

[@pedrol1496]

Thank you for the tears Andrei, it's exactly what happens to me. Only men letting out emotions are in balance! Keep up the sincerity! Both of you are perfect reactors! 🤗

[@BrendonChase_2015]

Shouldn't laugh but confess that I did, a bit. At 3:19 "I'm bad! ..- You're really not" 😄 Andrei struggling to be bad@ss. Great stuff, from the both of you. Now.. you may call me a sadist, torturer or whatever but I'd like to inform you that there's a live performance, of the full band version of this song. You did the official lyric video of course. The live one has now become mandatory viewing, if only for Andrei to finally prove his toughness 😁 It's the Hellfest (sounds tough enough, right?) performance. The whole concert is still online so just check the video at the 25:23 mark (setlist/timing in description there): " Nightwish - Hellfest 2022 - @arteconcert" Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘🖤

[@noneofyerbeeswax8194]

One can only be so tough... till one starts shuddering before the beautiful. I disrespectfully agree and wholeheartlessly concvr that the 'ellfest version is a must. Warning: weapon of mass seduction on stage. Watch at your own risk.💔

[@PaulOutdoors]

A beautiful, touching reaction from two beautiful people to a beautiful song, played and sung to perfection. I had tears also Andrei 🙏😊👍❤️

[@Donna-C]

How lucky are we to live in the times of Tuomas & Floor and they found other musicians who are fellow kindred spirits in Nightwish.

[@SteveOpstad]

Andrei above all reactors I love and appreciate you the most. You feel the music as it was written and intended. Tuomas writes in a way that allows us all to connect through our emotions, while feeling it all in our own personal way as it relates to our unique life path. You experience it all very deeply, it's a gift! Tears are a gift! Have no shame in sharing the beauty of yours. We share ours along with you.

[@nostrathomas2437]

“I know what to expect” famous last words haha …it gets me too! Love you guys ❤

[@erwinamesz7642]

Oh oh, we are going to cry..... It took me 15 seconds. Cleanse the soul. And Andrei: you are my spirit animal!

[@007chinochef]

Andrei don't worry for the tears, it means that you have good heart, and feelings. Greettings from Argentina

[@zoeystar4668]

A tender heart defeats bitterness and wrath. Imagine if all mankind could be greatly moved to feel the emotion, the love and caring nature this song puts out for us to absorb? This song provokes loving kindness and compassion, which is a quality you are blessed to be graced with Andrei. The world is dark, but humanity that is filled with compassion is a lamp in the dark. Hold on to what you have and never let it go, as a tender heart is the strength humanity is in desperate need of. God Bless you both abundantly, and thank you for this wonderful reaction to a beautiful song. ♥🧡💜

[@nigelstuart756]

I think there are another 6 or 7 versions of this that they do.!!! (Sorry, that was a bit of a cruel joke. 😃). Lovely reaction from you both. ❤

[@griffinjg1]

I got to see them live when they toured the states and this song hits so hard. This song makes me tear up every time.

[@vatleder]

You two are the cutest couple ever

[@anne-marievandruenen600]

I have heard this and other song hundreds of times and I still cry every time. I have been listening to Floor singing since she was 16 and with her first band After Forever. She projects the emotion of each song she sings straight into your heart. Just enjoy your ability to get emotionally touched by the beauty of her voice :)

[@DeepeningTheListening]

When I heard this song live at the concert I cried and laughed at the same time throughout the whole song. Nightwish does that to you.

[@naruto9121983]

this is so beautiful. i always cry too🥰

[@geertdelange4785]

Hey you lovely people 💕 You have a warm heart, this angel Touch our hearts. ❤️

[@dolla3975]

❤️ As a contrast you should listen to "Master, Passion, Greed" (if you haven't already) there is no live version of it, but it's a total contrast to this one :) That song is a Giant middle finger to Tarjas husband Marcello, witch was a big part of Traja getting fired.

[@sandratjoa9082]

Awww you both have such beautiful hearts! This song touched me the same way. ❤️🙏

[@craigramsay53]

Ahhh so glad you did this version as well. One of their most emotional pieces- soooo good. And NOT to worry Andrei- I last about as long as you do before the emotion takes over!

[@gerdavandergeer6835]

I really love you both your honesty and you can show your pure 💕

[@PB-Trinity]

Amazing reaction, guys. As always... Here's a FB post from Troy about this acoustic set : "As part of our 'Human :II: Nature' promotional tour of Europe, myself and my little sister Floor were asked to perform an acoustic set for the UK radio show 'Planet Rock'. I arranged two songs at very short notice - The old NW corker 'Nemo' and the new NW corker 'How's the Heart'. Surprisingly, it was something of a triumph; especially considering its background. It started well with me falling down a staircase in the hotel an hour before the shoot. Yes, I launched myself after breakfast and as I approached the solid marble floor from a height I remember thinking "this could be really bad..." however, in midair I called on my stuntman training (I was the stunt coordinator on the Indiana Jones movies) and, flailing beautifully, landed with a loud splat, like a big stupid flailing thing. The hotel staff were very impressed as I limped off heroically laughing. Then, after crawling through London in a taxi, we were told that we only had time for one run-through of the songs (!) and Floor hadn't a clue what I was going to be up to with my traumatised guitar. So off we went, into the valley we rode, knowing there was time for only one take. And that was it, for all the world to see."

[@jord001]

Andrei, real men cry. No weakness in that just that you have a heart and soul. Never be ashamed to shed a tear especially wth Floor or Nightwish.

[@jessicakoster2543]

Eric Clarke from the Store Side channel explained it perfectly. Floor makes you feel like she's hugging you and telling you it's going to be okay before pushing you down a flight of stairs. But she's at the bottom of the stairs to catch you. I don't think anyone is going to be offended by calling this song simple. We all feel the direct, straight line right into our hearts.

[@300672]

I wonder what would happen if Andrei ever met Floor in person. I don't think he could say anything. 😁😭♥️

[@starbritefr]

My fear, I'd be broken, happy, but broken.

[@300672]

@@starbritefr I also think it would freeze. Floor is not just a beautiful woman, when they say she is a queen, goddess, it's not in figurative language.

[@erwinamesz7642]

Yes, this is the correct version!!!!

[@dragonfly196uno]

Floor is a godsend...you two are amazing, I love you

[@Degu67]

Andrei, I feel with you, another BEST reaction ever 👻👻👻

[@andyohil7465]

Andrei, do not understand me wrong, but 🤣 it was very entertaining…. 🏆‼️ Let your emotions flow… you can’t fight against Floors voice… it will hit you every time….

[@sagebooker]

May I say it's totally normal to cry on this one, in this version... saying it, I'm crying ;-)

[@gika9771]

It is 💕nice and so wonderful, that the music let your emotions come out of your heart!

It's just the message and the pure talent. You two are beautiful souls. 👌🏻

[@fraukehammer4624]

You know that the second verse was written by Toumas for Floor, Hannes and Freya?

[@udokreulich1418]

A absolut beautiful reaction, Andrei 👍🤘❤

[@optimusakc]

This is a great song and can really hit you hard. If I can presume, you are like a lot of people, like myself that don't always show their emotion or we just like to hold it in for whatever reason. Sometimes we can hold it in so much or be too stoic that something can trigger our emotions to flow out almost uncontrollably. It is such a simple message but for many it is really hard to tell others how you feel. This song forces you to think about it and I can't help but tear up. Based on what I've seen from you, you seem like a good man Andrei ❤

[@bobheslop8039]

Your fellas eyes go like mine every time he hears Floors voice its bizzare but happens embrace the feeling and enjoy the moments guys 🙂Its Also a beutiful rendetion of a a lovely song

[@manuruben916]

This song touches the depths of your heart.Wonderful reaction 😊

[@ricklong4218]

Love you guys, your so real. Andrei I'm right there with you again my friend. I learned some time ago it's futile to try to resist the song of the Siren. Besides, it's a good way to wash the pollen out of our eyes.

[@124Spider5]

I'm very proud that we can say to a women. Boys ALSO cry. Many mens have problem to show others that they also cry. Like womens and childs. Those are the stronggest mans. They are not afraid to show their weakness while at the same time showing how strong they are. LIKE YOU Mr. And Thirteen💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

You are such an endearing couple, thankyou for sharing this with us 🤘

Oh, I really do love your reactions!

[@ericavantilburg6252]

No worries!❤ many of us have shed tears with this song (including me!) It proves we all have sincere feelings!❤

[@okiejohn3925]

My theory🤔: Often, when you cry to a Floor/NW song, it's because you have something inside that needs to get out, whether you are concious of it or not...Floor has a way of pulling it out of you and once the tears are done, it's a cleansing act and you are better for it...

[@jeroenblom5148]

How’s the heart Andrei? I love the honesty in your reactions. ❤

[@jasonmarshall7572]

Bro it's good for you to cry as it help exposes any feelings of vunerability we tend to hide. As a metal head with past pain and a horrible upbringing where bad things happened to me i built this wall of ice with my metal and became cold. This type of music melts the ice and brings out the tears and a feeling of relief makes me feel alive, whole and complete i feel Human now instead of the numb caged beast. We need a way to vent and share the softer side in us all. Have a wonderful day and no matter what happens know we are all here for you and that your loved.

[@johnpedersen2958]

The ultimate "Floorgasm" 😊
