Last 3,5 years, I listen NW every day. Some days for 30 minutes, some days for 6 hours (especially driving somewhere)... It is a legal drug. And it keeps me happy and in good mood. Thanks for returning to NW.

[@jjanssen431]

same here !

[@Poppie-Joyce]

Same 😍

[@FromG2eminor]

Same. In May I am driving across country for 3 data. I plan on listening to several concerts and everything in between.

[@zurcher]

Hearing a new Nightwish song is like opening a present: just what I always wanted!

[@paisa20]

Thanks

[@s.b.norton9481]

A maestro

[@tribvne9633]

This s my favorite song, without compare. Underrated. It doesn't get the attention it deserves. Thank you for reacting to it!

[@benedictmohr1075]

One more thing as i progress with the video: In my opinion Floor is great. Her solo project is great. But what Nightwish makes so beyond special for me is the pure combination of everything. Tuomas is the architect with the composing and the writing and the band fill it with life and colours and Floors vocals giving it such a magic touch that everything by this band is so magical that it can touch you right in the soul every time. It makes you feeling all the feels: strength, sadness, love, hope, energy ... I got every feel from Nightwish i can possibly feel. What I mean by that is that we are blessed that this actual combination of muscicians exist. There could be a world where Nightwish wouldnt exist in this combination. It would be sad to not have them.

[@brendawolf6557]

my favorite is devil and the deep dark ocean by floor .....that song is underrated.

[@missrubyphoenix]

Whenever I listen to Pan, I remember what Floor said about Shoemaker being the tongue twister of their songs BUT for me, Pan is just as or even more complicated to sing with all those ups and downs like a roller coaster and then the long, quite complicated, yet catchy phrases such as "A pale blue theatre stage, a feast of bibidibabidi babidibibidi 😂 happens to me every time

[@shereengonzalez1911]

I hope they eventually play Pan live live.

[@missrubyphoenix]

@@shereengonzalez1911 I would love that, like, switch Tribal with Pan

[@mnewm21]

@@missrubyphoenix I'd switch out Shoemaker!! But I am probably alone in thinking that it is the most boring song on the album 🤣

[@VaIius]

Personally, my relationship with Nightwish can be divided into 3 stages. 1) I first heard them in high school somewhere in the early 2000s. It was an unofficial clip from fragments of the film Pearl Harbor to the song Wishmaster. And after some time I got acquainted with the rest of their songs. I listened to their entire discography dozens of times, but this particular song has always been something special for me. 2) After Tarja left my feelings towards the band cooled down a bit. It is symbolic that this era of my relationship to the group ended with watching the concert "End of an Era". It was still great music, but as if something was not right. Although that's when they created probably the best song I've ever heard The Poet And The Pendulum (album version). I did not understand its meaning, but I listened to it many times. 3) Then sometime before 2018, Nightwish existed somewhere on the periphery of my attention. I don't even known that they already have the 3rd lead singer. Until one day I accidentally stumbled upon the same Ghost Love Score video from Wacken. And I finished watching it really in tears of happiness, although in the era of Tarja this song never aroused any special emotions in me. At that moment, I rediscovered Nightwish for myself, and after some time I came across The Poet And The Pendulum from Wembley - and again I was in tears from a whole range of different emotions. I still didn't understand what the song was about, but I began to guess. And then the study of the information only confirmed my guesses - and this song finally established itself in first place not only among the songs of Nightwish, but in general among everything that I have ever heard musical in my life. I listened to this song an infinite number of times - and almost always I have tears in my eyes. It's incredible.

[@davidwells7786]

Well said. I think a lot of people have had a very similar experience to yours

[@Ratsass3]

My Favorvite song by Nightwish is always the NEXT ONE. 🐭

[@marttivuorinen8475]

Watching your reactions is like after family dinner sitting on a sofa, eating some sweets and having a drink and a friendly relaxed talk with family and friends 😍 You mentioned lyrics.. just couple days ago i saw someone saying "With most bands when you first time hear the start of phrase you know where it is going . With Nightwish you never do" 😃

[@dolla3975]

Favorite NW song.... The one I just listen to.. OR the next one I listen to... ❤

[@claudiadorner9804]

Thank you for the, again, wonderful reaction 🙏. I agree with what you said that you listen to Floor, not only with your ears, but with your heart ❤. She is so special..and yes, so is Tuomas..he's a beautiful, sensitive old soul 🥰❤️

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

This one of my favorites from the Human:ll:Nature -album. There are about a dozen of references to literature, movies and such in this song. It's full of them, and still executed so well. ⛄❄👍

[@Donna-C]

Floor: “Tuomas, but where do I breathe”! 😳😹 The lyrics and timing in this song are amazing! ( I like: The “pale blue theatre stage.....” - our home, our planet Earth. And there’s reference to the other songs & themes that run throughout the Human:||:Nature album. In the video - I think we are all the the random floating chess pieces waiting to make the next move in life. An awesome song with a little bit of everything in it!

[@zbygniewprlwytzkofsky6614]

Tuomas exactly knows when Floor is breathing: one time every Friday and one time every Tuesday😂

[@countryquilt3379]

So many favorite songs by Nightwish, but my favorite favorite song is definitely Song of myself.

[@benedictmohr1075]

I am feeling so sorry that this copyright strike happened to you. Most people know about the failure copyright system of youtube and its issues. Do it your way and do everything to prevent another strike. Thanks for going on with the reactions. You two are way to nice to not entertain on this platform and share your thoughts and comments.

[@Murvelhund]

Favorite song is still End Of All Hope, migth be because it was my first encounter with Nigthwish.

[@bchase6970]

My favorites: Kiss while your lips are still red, islander and the 2nd half of Human Nature - weird, I know! And then there’s TGSOE and poet and the Pendulum - never fails to make me cry - most touching lyrics ever: You have such oceans within. Tuomas is incredible.

[@ToTheWolves]

Yours is an Empty Hope.

[@ToTheWolves]

Song of Myself.

[@dawidslusarczyk6737]

Finally Nightwish 💪✌️

[@aresfabrega1977]

I think my fave from Nightwish is Ghost river followed close by song of myself

[@VivK-Real]

Right now my favorites are: Endlessness, Weak Fantasy, Pan, Shudder before the beautiful aaaand... Sahara, The Kinslayer, Song of myself, "All the Works of Nature Which Adorn the World".... Not in any particular order 😊 (Last one I use to relax and dream me away...)

[@vmaxbabe]

My most favourite studio performance actually is this one: PAN!!! It’s fickle, epic, capricious and oh so cleverly composed and produced! My favourite album is Endless Forms Most Beautiful and my favourite life performance is Dark Chest Of Wonders at Wacken 2013. Thanks for picking Pan this time!

[@jimharris367]

Love this song, possibly my favourite from this fantastic album - and as always a wonderful, fun and insightful reaction 🤘🤘🤘

[@skeezesmith7954]

Tuomas loves to add false stops to his songs. My favorite Nightwish song: Any song with Floor. My favorite non-Nightwish song: Anything song with Floor. Hey, what can I say? I’m 80 and have many favorite singers over the years, but none of them compare to what Floor brings to the stage. 😍🤘

[@kimmikke_]

"Shoemaker" is the best NW song for me but really close is "For the Heart I Once Had" (great Anette Song)

[@huubdonkersteeg2408]

My favorite Nightwish song is the Poet and the Pendulum (live at Wembley 2015), followed by Dead Boy's Poem (live at Buenos Aires 2018) and Ghost Love Score (live at Wacken 2013).

I love Your type of reactions. I love that You stop and have your emotions and feelings discussed between You two. Keep it up and hopefully you will not get any more strikes.

[@allenhuling598]

An ode to human imagination/creativity....and yes, the 'Nightwish Effect' is a real thing, for me anyway! Too many awesome songs to pick a favorite, but this album is a favorite of mine including all the accompanying Lyric videos! Always appreciate your reactions! Cheers!🤘

[@alejandromoya7]

My Nightwish's favorite song is "The Poet & The Pendulum" (live at Wembley Arena_2015) with Floor in lead-vocals; is a Master-Piece of Music of all times!!!

[@weshwn4246]

Yeah OK they already did that song. Stop being lazy. And scroll down and you'll see it. There I help you out

[@Idefixu]

I went thru your impressive Nightwish playlist, and I couldn't find a reaction to the song Last of the Wilds. I really thought you had reacted to it. LAST OF THE WILDS, Wacken 2013 a rare Nightwish instrumental. Such a great song, I think you will love it. There's also a version of the song with Finnish lyrics: NIGHTWISH feat. JONSU - ERÄMAAN VIIMEINEN. This was released in 2007 as a single. Beautiful fan made video, with English translation. Many comments saying: "I have to visit Finland!" Practically all coments very positive about the song and Jonsu's vocals. (There was gossip about Jonsu and Tuomas. Jonsu (Leena Johanna Salomaa) at least denied any closer relationship. Her second name is Johanna, she is a redhead, plays the violin, born in 1984. Sounds like Tuomas' wife Johanna Kurkela - ok not exactly, Johanna was born in 1985. Those two also have similar kind of voice.) Fun fact - Jonsu's last name Salomaa is the Finnish for wilderness, the wilds. Her band, all women, Indica, made a comeback after many years. They released a new single a couple of weeks ago. Indica was quite popular back in the day. Too poppy for me though.

[@lujalainen1]

somebody should send movie makers nightwish music. ready steady perfect music every freaking movie. thanx to great reaction and have wonderful weekend. my favorite nightwish song is meadows of heaven audio and anette olzon.

[@leftyme4568]

Emppu All the way ...he does so muuch

[@TimoArula]

PAN or "Pancake" (According to Emppu 🤣): Pan is about creativity and storytelling. There's references to mythology Neil Geihman, Guillermo Del Toro, Pat Rothfuss, Tolkien, and many others. One of the key pieces to remember is that Pan has a couple meanings. One of them is literally "Everything" Like Pansexual, Pandemic, Panorama. Human Creativity is all encompassing. So many of the references are multi-meaning. The Labyrinth reference isn't just Greek Myth. It's the Jim Henson Movie, Pan's Labyrinth, and more. It's in essence a song about Tropes and the Beauty of the way humans use them. It's the Panoply of Human Ideas. Pan is also the scientific name of chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) and lyrics mention "An ape in awe before a door" which is claimed to be a reference to the scene of "Space Odyssey 2001" with hominids and extraterrestrial monolith. As for my favorite Nightwish song....I say this: "I have favorite Nightwish song to my every emotion and for every life curveball, the good and bad ones!" NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.

[@sindhatal7038]

Favorite one ? "The Poet and the Pendulum" for sure !!! After there is "The Greastest Show on Earth" and "She is my Sin" 😊

[@mattgraham2835]

there are quite alot of metaphysical themes all over this album as far as going from winter to spring like renewal

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

My top 5 songs are fluid but since you asked: 5.End of All Hope 4. Romanticide 3. Noise 2. Sacrament of Wilderness 1. Shudder Before the Beautiful

[@rg8829]

Thank you

[@okiejohn3925]

If you force me to pick just one, the Wacken 2013 Storytime performance is still probably my favorite (I just about bounce out of my chair when I watch it), but there are SOOOOO many others that I completely love, I can't really pick one over another. Romanticide, TGSOE, Shoemaker, Sleeping Sun (Floor, at Tampere), Dead Boy's Poem, Noise, Last of the Wilds, I Want My Tears Back, and so so many more. This song (Pan) is pretty frickin' awesome as well! And then there is the entire second disc of the Human:Nature album...😙

[@jws6181]

Tuomas as a writter is magic, if you consider english not his native language...

[@mnewm21]

If we do favourites my favourite album song is either Endlessness or Meadows of Heaven. My favourite live performances available on video would be Greatest Show on Earth - Tampere and album is Imaginaerium no disrespect to Tarja but the band went up a level of consistency album wise after her forced departure and both Dark Passion Play and imaginaerium are still byu far the best and most focused albums in the Nightwish catalog. (Obviously this is opinion 😉)

[@louisminten7889]

1. The Poet and The Pendulum (because it's very personal for all bandmembers at that time) 2. The Greatest Show on Earth (who in this world can tell a story about the origin of earth in 23 minutes except Tuomas) 3. Ghost Love Score (my first MASTERPIECE from NW. Never gets old)

[@117k70017]

My favorites: Dead boy's poem, Weak fantasy, Music, Elvenjig and the trilogy

[@sweetsymphony3519]

My favorites ;) : - Gethsemane, Walking in the Air and Sleeping Sun from "Oceanborn"; - The Kinslayer, Dead Boy’s Poem and Fantasmic from "Wishmaster"; - Slaying the Dreamer, Feel For You and Beauty of the Beast from "Century Child"; - Planet Hell, The Siren, Romanticide and Ghost Love Score from "Once"; - Master Passion Greed, Sahara and Whoever Brings the Night from "Dark Passion Play"; - Slow Love Slow, Scaretale, Rest Calm and Song of Myself from "Imaginaerum"; - Shudder Before the Beautiful, Weak Fantasy and Endless Forms Most Beautiful from "Endless Forms Most Beautiful"; - Shoemaker, Tribal and Endlessness from "Human. :II: Nature"

[@robertsheeler321]

This is only one of a couple from this album never done live. I can't name 1 favorite maybe top 5 or 10 but one is impossible

[@paulr1193]

They did do it live (sort of) - AFAIK, just the once - on one of the two Virtual World performances, live at the Islander's Arms during the Covid lockdown 2021. It was an amazing version. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqHVqpiBpamLptE Endlessness and Procession are the only two from the Human Nature album that I'm pretty sure they've not done live yet.

[@Mars-is4un]

🤗🍒🤘🏻😘

[@elvwood]

Sorry you had to deal with a strike, but glad you're back with Nightwish! I was going to say I love this song, but that doesn't really say much...

[@wimvank.7463]

Tuomas; rampant poet, Floor; rampant singer. Nightwish; rampant musicians. What else!

[@ralfmeyer9086]

Great reaction. You are right, there is something in the Voice from Floor. I don't mean her Operatic or Growls or belting Singing. .Much more.

[@jyrikeranen2962]

Song of myself - or Devil and the deep dark ocean.

[@ArsRegnandi]

About Floor´s voice? In my opinion Tuomas is a brilliant storyteller, and the band members are able to hit the right tone at the right moment, the lead singer being the most obvious of course.

[@davidcook482]

Hard to believe how few fans here are calling out Ghost Love Score as one of their favorites. The thing is, with so many fantastic songs to compete against it, even though GLS is truly a masterpiece, it gets knocked down into third or fourth place. I'd go with Dark Chest of Wonders, Greatest Show on Earth, Endless Forms Most Beautiful, and The Islander as my very favorites, and then about 15 other songs that would squeeze in right below 'very favorite' status (including GLS). Haha! I love them all.

[@Thorgrim247]

Sorry to hear about your strike. I think Hellfest is the problem. Pause when needed. This one is all about the magic of the human imagination and our love of stories and games. There are many references to literature & fairy tales in this song. I agree with Andrei! Floor is on the top! Get on video Andrei. We want to hear the Romanian/Polish goddess of song! My favorite Nightwish song. Hmmmmm? Lets see? StoryTime Dead Boy's Poem Ghost Love Score Dark Chest of Wonders Last Ride of the Day Nemo Bless the Child Ghost River Music Noise Pan Weak Fantasy Ever Dream I think you get the point!

[@silverblack5475]

They did this live at The Virtual Show but never again ( pretty sure , could be wrong) and of course it was better live .

[@okiejohn3925]

Isn't it always? Crazy how that is!

[@FromG2eminor]

5. Sahara ( needs to be reacted to more) 4. Tribal, Romanticide 3. Pan 2. Story Time 1. Song of Myself That was hard. I was thinking I have favorites within different moods like Their harder stuff, softer, folk, vocal gymnastics, etc. They have whatever I want when I want it.

[@gabriellunardi5815]

I might be wrong, however the keys you hear at the beginning sounds like that old Beauty and the Beast cartoon. PS: Pan is one of my NW songs. Everything about Nightwish is in it

[@alleninfinity6730]

Ghost Love Score I think will always be my favorite, because Floor loves singing it so much. But such a long list of great songs, really hard for me to pick in any order after that, because they are so good. Nice to see you guys again, and sorry you got a strike.

[@andyohil7465]

❤ one of my favorite songs is still: Elvenjig/Elvenpath (live from Bogota) - maybe you could do a video… 🏆‼️

[@Mind-your-own-beeswax]

Pausing doesn’t have any effect on the KZbin bots. They can detect the song within seconds. Stick with official stuff and you’ll be fine.

[@humphreyterveer1338]

My favorite: Dead boy's Poem, Story time, Ever dream and Sleeping Sun and much more .... all by Floor!

[@ericavantilburg6252]

I have a lot of favorite songs too! If I have to name one… I really like 7 days to the wolves!❤ Btw, at the end of this song (pan), it was Floor singing it!

[@helky8]

I have so many favorites but if I have to choose only one, it would be Everdream 😊

[@stevenhopwood8195]

I don’t think I can choose a favourite, too many are my favourite but if painted into a corner, I guess I have a slight leaning to Song of Myself and then again I have an argument with myself. What about this one then that one and so it continues. What a great situation to find yourself in though. ❤️🤘🎸🎻🇦🇺

[@thomasbarton-f3n]

The next one

[@ToTheWolves]

Think if you wanna watch new concerts , use the whole video from whoever filmed it. Like from Arte , who filmed all of Hellfest. And just find the song you're looking for in the whole concert.

[@jukkahelminen9071]

My favorite? "The Greatest Show on Earth" Have you watched the memories of the music teacher from Kitee about the members of Nightwish when they were still in school? As children / teenagers. And how were Tuomas, Tarja, Jukka "different children" even then? Plamen Dimov, Bulgarian by birth, but found the love of his life in Finland. His wife also appears in the video. But it's interesting to hear his memories of children who grew up to be great musicians. The video is long, 50 minutes. But very interesting. And indeed, Tuomas has been a very different and special child! Once Upon a Time in Kitee - Tästä kaikki alkoi! kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5iohpirhNSEe5o

[@jovana_r]

So sorry for the copyright problems, but maybe it will be easier for you to hear that it was much worse before you started reactions. Both Nightwish and Rammstein reactions were blocked a lot. And then something changed last spring. Maybe they realized that reactions didn't do them any harm, I really don't know. Anyway, just don't let that discourage you, because we really love your channel. 🖤

[@marinamucic908]

As I understand it, record labels rarely give out copyright strikes now, because they realized reaction channels a basically a promo, but festival footage is still a big risk

[@jovana_r]

You were talking about Tuomas being delicate but also powerful. Here's a link to Maan Mainiot, a short film about Tuomas. It includes interviews with his family and long-time friends. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXKUi6WMgsiJnbs

[@tracyfarnath2270]

It's weird how you got a copyright strike, I've heard loads of reactors listen to songs all the way through lots of nightwish including shoemaker. In fact you are among the few who do pause, strange.

[@pmasher]

Sounds like it was Hellfest that gave the strike, not Nightwish.

[@Greyhound53200]

André, your question falls into the category 'nearly impossible to answer'. Questions like 'How many drops of water are in our oceans?' , if you know what I mean. I have to surrender, so sorry about that!

[@raymoorey8296]

Hi, i saw you react to "TOOL* so i thought you might like to listen to another band that vocalist Maynard James Keenan sang with "A Perfect Circle". I love both bands although I find A Perfect Circle a bit easier to listen too, here is one of my favorites: A Perfect Circle - Judith kzbin.info/www/bejne/roXKfIV5jd6Via8

[@thensho]

with asking for our favorite nightwish songs, well.... i'll likely be a lot of songs 🤣 for me it's rather simple tough. i have 3 favorite songs; live to tell the tale, 10th man down, ghost love score so i'll just add a request to this comment, could you take a look at "nightwish - live to tell the tale"? out of the 3 it's by far my very favorite (and has a lot of emotional value to me) but sadly there only exist 2 reaction video's to it even now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6bTlKuwgcd1sJo&ab_channel=Nightwish

[@rowdyryder3806]

I understand the reasoning, but sometimes discretion is the better part of value. 😮😢

[@hardtackbeans9790]

You should stop the songs because you are a music review channel. Sadly whether the music label or the ways YT has of listening, you need to stop the songs pretty regular for that too. I have many favorite Nightwish songs.
