Rumor has it. Troy is still deaf in his left ear

[@BrendonChase_2015]

This is a very challenging song to sing for any accomplished vocalist, but Floor does it effortlessly while sitting down! As to Troy's vocals.. We were at the Ziggo Dome concert in Amsterdam last Sunday. Many great surprises there, with Henk as the absolute highlight of the evening. But there was more and that was Troy. They played a "Marko" song "7 Days To The Wolves" and I noticed just how incredibly great a job Troy did here vocally and how immensely he has improved. He really worked his @ss off with all of the instruments and really gritty vocals at times. What a trooper!

[@NickBR57]

Quite right to shout out Troy. He has picked up so much and become far more forward in his vocals - and he is good Not Marco obviously, but a very good voice and he's putting a bit more rasp in now (not exactly the word I want, but you know what I mean). The full Nightwish version, non-acoustic, of this song is great as well as the acoustic, and they do both now. Presumably arranging it for this session made it obvious it would work in full concerts...

[@crissyperry1080]

Brendon, I'm sorry, brother. Yes your wife was with you in Spirit, God Bless and much love 💖

[@chriso6719]

Tuomas wrote the second verse for Floor, her husband Hannes Van Dahl, and their daughter , Freya. Floor was brought to tears when he told her about it. Tuomas has said that this song is an 'ode to human empathy'. Tribal is another song from the new album that you haven't done yet. Try the live version at either Deichbrand or Hellfest 2022.

[@alexandersteinmetz6857]

I somehow hoped you will post your Lines, you put it so much better in Worts then me, thx Buddy. did ipod me This and some more Acustics back in the Year and as we were on the Ruin of CAstle Wolfstone near my Home, just set on the crumbled Walls , look down on Town of Neumarkt, and let the Music do its Magic. How can an Artist even grab and compete, that so countless ppl be enchanted by his Craft? Stay Healthy

[@judedornisch4946]

That's right you cannot find a place to pause that one. Great song, great message. Two amazing musicians doing amazing work. One of the best acoustic recordings I've heard. Two mics and the plug in on the guitar really captures the richness of the tone and the picking and string drag giving a fantastic organic feel. Floor's very hot mic allowed her to control all the dynamics especially in the very breathy parts.

[@crissyperry1080]

Wow

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

This is one of my absolute favorites. The message is so beautiful: kindness, caring and love. Tuomas wrote the second verse to honor Floor. Haha, they say that Troy's left ear has been deaf since that. ⛄👍

Hey y'all it's a cool setting what can't she do like an angel of heaven put on this earth to sing keep rocking

[@TimoArula]

The second verse Tuomas wrote for Floor, her husband Hannes van Dahl and their daughter Freja. This is Tuomas way to say: Thank you Floor for saving the band back in 2012 and make us great again. he wrote the part "We met where the cliff greets the sea" about her relationship with Hannes van Dahl (although is also a clear reference to Élan), and "Now there’s one who came from me / A child of light, another tale", which is about her giving birth to their daughter Freja. How cool is that? I mean, he really did what the song is about: human empathy. And what a better way to show it by dedicating a little part of the song for his friend and band mate? She said she went to tears when he mentioned it to her. And I can see why, it is a beautiful song. Nightwish... Nuff Said!!! Well... now I have to subscribe !!!! NWSU 🤘😎🤘.

[@darkiee69]

The guitar Troy plays is a Fylde custom Oberon. It's the same company who makes his Bouzouki.

[@DIRK-PITT]

Troy plays an underrated guitar....

[@randymarple9830]

Sometimes, pausing is a SIN. So glad you couldn't find a spot!!!LOL

[@2ndhandsoulsmusic]

Too much going on to really find a spot without doing them an injustice. I don't like having to pause, but copyright won't really allow us to do much without the pauses. Truth be known, my button briefly didn't work. By the time it did, they only had 30 seconds to go. I figured it wouldn't be a good thing to pause it at that time.

[@randymarple9830]

@@2ndhandsoulsmusic It is rare to see a Nightwish video blocked. Very rare.

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

Fun fact: During the interview on Planet Rock Radio 2020, Troy called Floor's voice for Stratospheric - and that's pretty close!! 😂 It's a pretty difficult lyrics with all the runs through the scales and no time to breathe - but Floor makes it look so effortless - and she is sitting down.. On the live versions, she often adds some grit in places, and a more clear higher tone, instead of the airy one she uses here, when she goes up. It's amazing how she adjust the songs just tiny bits, to almost every single gig. Phenomenal performance. And nice to see how you wouldn't dare to pause it - respect 👍😉🤘

[@bobsuisse2]

More? They also did "Nemo" accoustic on that show. It available on YT too. Fantastic version. ;)

[@jg8428]

The pure joy that NW has when performing is contagious.

[@alancarter41]

Generally, not a fan of acoustic only, but this was very sweet. Floor sounded fantastic, as always. Troy is certainly multi-talented. Have to wonder though how this would sound with Marko and Floor. Stay safe, God bless, and keep rocking.

[@crissyperry1080]

GOD BLESS 💚💙💛

[@ToTheWolves]

I'd love to hear that

[@spikenelson6669]

whats up fam..good to see you guys. Shout out from tuscaloosa. Keep up the good work

[@clivematthews5296]

Great choice guys. There is also a version played by the band on the album that sounds quite different. Both versions have been played on the current Nightwish tour. And Troy's guitar is made by an English company called Fylde Guitars. They also make bouzoukis so possibly they made the one that Troy uses.

[@tiberius23]

Thanks y'all. Always like to see you reacting/interacting. Thanks again!

[@TheZachh]

I love how all of you experienced the joy of this song in different ways. My guy in the middle looked like he was feeling the holy spirit every time Floor did a run or belt. I looooove watching others react to this amazing band. They are truly music made for the soul. Thanks for doing these!! Looking forward to more Nightwish! :)

[@crissyperry1080]

[@danettecrossley7912]

Beautiful is the word for it, Troy is so talented, tuomas wrote this for floor about meeting her husband and having her daughter was what I read, doesn't matter beautifully done like the acoustic version better than with the band God bless

[@crissyperry1080]

I concur God Bless You

[@shadegate6660]

I am convinced Troy is a genuine Medieval Bard, reborn. I keep expecting him to turn up in the Prancing Pony Inn in Lord of the Rings. Floor is Floor. Otherworldly ❤

[@rnowak85]

Another great reaction! Tuomas' ode to human empathy. I believe Troy is playing a Fylde Oberon Custom acoustic guitar. They also make the Bouzouki he plays. The studio version with the full band is also fantastic with a bit of folk/celtic feel to it. Both versions have been played during the current tour. They played the acoustic version when I saw them back in May in Boston and they did the full band version at Hellfest. The one from Hellfest would be worth doing a reaction to.

[@burningdeadman]

Tomakazi saw you soaking it all in on this one! haha Sucha simple but strong song! Much love yall

[@duncanwyer2460]

Troy plays a Fylde guitar. They are an English manufacturer. Beautiful song about human empathy and well worth a lyric breakdown. Oh and Kudos to the gentleman you dedicated this song to. Congrats on him being your biggest commentator. Hell I thought I bothered you enough so it’s nice to know you get it from others too! 😀

[@davidphillips4706]

Floor is just perfection.

[@robgerhardterellen1488]

Every great symphonic and rock metal band has its beautiful ballad, and Nightingale has even more. Mentioning also Meadows of Heaven, Dead Boys Poem, Eva, Slow Love Slow (very jazzy), While your lips are still red, ..........

[@bobmiller6870]

Another awesome reaction 2ndhandsouls. This is such a beautiful song and beautifully performed as well. From what I understand from interviews he has done, Troy Donockly plays Fylde Oberon acoustic guitars and bouzoukis. Not sure about his electrics though.

[@crissyperry1080]

Thanks Bob 😊

[@monicacarolina6480]

The original (electric) is also beautiful, but this has something special. This song is an ode to human empathy, which this world is lacking a bit.

[@stamasd8500]

I saw them play this acoustic version 3 times this year, once in NYC in May and twice last week (London and Birmingham). It was epic each time.

[@andrewhuggins9008]

It takes something to attempt this as a live session for a radio station but they also do it at their arena shows! Last week in Birmingham (UK) I got serious chills watching it ( you could say I got the fizz!!l 😉🤟

Hey souls, nice to see you again everytime ❤️

[@tarmotyyri6733]

🇫🇮 ❤ this song & hopes that all your hearts are OK, both mentally & physically.

[@nightwisher751]

Thanks souls for the reaction. On some of the lyrics the line "another John Doe" could be referring to the song Nemo meaning without a name. "Come in, the fire's warm Burn the rope and dance some more" The rope would be the wick in an oil lamp used from thousands of years ago, also in Religious settings still today. "Dull the blade and dance some more" Reference to the blade in Poet and the Pendulum song and the album cover of Dark Passion Play also, it could be said to take the edge of one's feelings to dull them sending best wishes to all of you

[@nightwisher751]

Thanks for reply you could be right. My thoughts for my interpretation are the line "Dear one, here I am to share the fear" is saying a problem shared is a problem halved. How's the heart Underneath the silence? I think this means by not just listening but listening so deeply you are able to walk a mile in another's shoes you have total empathy for the other. And this takes me to another saying "burning the candle at both ends" This is thought of a negative. Staying without sleep deep into the night and rising early in the morning would stress the body to breakdown. Note burning the candle is burning the wick or rope of the candle. My thoughts then are that the lines "Come in, the fire's warm Burn the rope and dance some more! is an invitation to burn the oil lamp deep into the night as you unburden your problems whilst i listen with true empathy and you are able to let yourself go as in dance the night away. Same for Dull the Blade, to talk into the night and take the edge off all the problems you are welcome here the fire is warm and our hearts warmer

[@billtbodger]

i have loved this version since I first heard it a couple of years ago (well nearly) Troy is a wonderful accompanist to Floor here. Floor is simply fantastic, Nightwish won the lottery and the jackpot when they invited these two to become permanent members, Troy gets a lot of flack for his singing which I think is totally unfair because Troy has such a mellow and relaxing voice. Troys Guitar is a cutomised Fylde Oberon acoustic that Troy has had for at least 20 years the cutaway was done by Fylde a few years ago. If you want to hear a song that is very special then Marco and Troy on the Nightwish Cruise with a special guest kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZO3Y3hvhrl8kNU

[@markkuerolainen]

In my opinion, this song is definitely one of the best Nightwish songs sung by Floor. This is where his awesome voice comes out best.

[@kentk2215]

A beautiful song. They are doing this acoustic version with just Troy and Floor on their current tour. The full band version has a different feel, and is worth watching too. Here’s the Deichbrand show version kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmOUmGNplNOXbq8

[@amygoodson-catlady]

Did anyone but ne catch the clip of this at the most recent shows? There was one night where Floor changed the last choral pass to say, "draw the blade" instead of "burn the rope"... she even made the physical motion of drawing a blade from its sheath! I thought maybe I smoked too much weed...but no, she sang it! It was quite the triumphant moment...since she'd just "gone under the knife" for her surgery...I feel like she owned that so hard! Anyone else see the clips from the Nov 28th show in Amsterdam...Floor and Henk Poort performing the *Nightwish* version (made famous by.Marko and Tarja) of Phantom of the Opera...and I'm not a Floor fanatic...but damn...she had a GLS 2013 *moment* with her final note! WOW

[@MOON-SHADOW-ANNE]

I believe it's dull the blade, in reference to poet and the pendulum. That's how it's been sung live this whole tour.

[@Enderu666]

@@MOON-SHADOW-ANNE That's also how it is in the album version.

[@amygoodson-catlady]

@@MOON-SHADOW-ANNE Oh that's interesting...I've watched 3 shows but she only did it once that I saw/heard. And when she sang it, she reached for Troy's waist and made the motion of 'drawing' a blade...I connected it to her surgery but also could be an ode to TPATP... I guess we'll find out when the DVD comes out...they filmed in Amsterdam 2 nts. Very exciting...and a bit mysterious...
