[@Thorgrim247]

"I Wish I had an Angel" is another one with both singing. one of their big European hit songs. Live from wacken 2013 again.

[@phils866]

The Marko snarling here is the same Marko who sings so softly and tenderly in Kiss, While Your Lips Are Still Red. Versatility is in abundance in Nightwish.

[@chriso6719]

Tuomas has said this song is a duel between the Devil and Mother Gaia. For more of that back and forth between Floor and Marko, Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from the Buenos Aires show.

[@marbenthesaffa]

That's interesting, I didn't know that! Devil and the Deep dark ocean is definitely on my list as well! Very excited for that one too😁💪🤘🙏

Such an underrated Nightwish song. Floor's siren calls near the end of the song are freaking amazing, and give me Floorgasms every time

It's underrated? The only negative thing I've heard about it is that it's too short.

[@peterbell3199]

@@mclark347 I don't see a lot of KZbinrs react to Ghost River. Thus why I called it "underrated".

Same. When the instruments drop out and she comes in like an angel. Pure heaven

[@fnglert]

This song is almost the complete Floor. She can rock the stage and fill the spotlight, but she can also step back and give someone else the spotlight. She can sing soaring, angelic notes and snarl with sass and attitude, and she can switch between it all without pause.

[@marbenthesaffa]

She is simply spectacular!!! 🙏🤘🤘

[@pdutchie4924]

[@dennishurt1122]

Marben, May I Highly Recommend "EVERDREAM" As Your No.7 Adventure Down The Nightwish Rabbit Hole? I Think It Would Be A Perfect Time For It. Floor And Marco Both Share In The Vocals, And It Is Simply Amazing !!!!! The Army Will Be Watching Your Reaction And Enjoyment!

[@milton1448]

There is a hole in the band without Marko, especially on vocals.

[@peterbell3199]

Yes, but his health and happiness comes first. Hopefully he rejoins the band someday, or they find a way to incorporate guest singers during tours who can handle "Marko's" vocals. No disrespect intended to Troy, but he is not the same style singer as Marko. You need trained rock vocals to handle most of Marko's stuff.

Marko needs to look after Mr. Hietala. Nothing else matters.

Gonna help you out on Floors growls. The first one is at 2:25, audible but not visible. The second one is at 4:10, audible and very visible. Emppu(guitar) loves it when Floor growls and smiles at Floor at 4:18 and she reciprocates with a little dance for him. And of coarse Emppu crab hopping on the stage at 4:49 always makes me smile.

[@richardmead5969]

It is a beauty. When the instruments drop out and she sings the chorus, it's such a thing of beauty, and yes, Floor and Marko's synergy is perfect on this.

[@damienmaynard8892]

Nod to Hellraiser from Marko and Tuomas "I'll show you such sights!" (@ 2:22 )...... My friend Kiara in the straw hat! Always wondered where she went! LOL! .... every physical reaction I see in you - f@ck yeah! That's what I did! Subbed!

[@MiguelLopez-is9te]

🤘 Fun Reaction. A great song written by Emppu, Jukka (original drummer), Marko and Tuomas for their 2011 album Imaginaerum. Marko was with Nightwish for 20 years. His departure left a hole in our hearts. We seen Nightwish in concert, last month, and quite a few people were shouting Marko's name during the songs he sang on.

[@marbenthesaffa]

Thanks Miguel. It really is a great song and it's sad that Marko left. I'm sure the concert was great none the less! 🙏💪🤘

Emppu, the stagewalker!

[@merqury5]

There is a massive Floor growl at the end of each chorus. Noone ever notices.

[@marbenthesaffa]

I didn't initially but went back and heard it the second time after a few people commented about it! 🙏💪🤘

[@mattilindstrom]

Rarely have I seen a music reactor get as hyped over a song I know to be good. I see you have had an experience with Ghost River, and that's all good. To me Marco's voice in the chorus falls back to provide a steady chant behind Floor's beautiful soaring vocals. And her line "Beautifully shy as you are..." always gets me misty-eyed, what power, what a stage presence!

I hope that everyone could focusing on now a days Nightwish not past. Marko is no longer at the band. Basicly Floor said in one interview that she was supriced how much Troys vocals has gone towards.

[@venomous2058]

Man I love your reactions to Nightwish! Thanks for that, it's so nice to see how much you hype this band :D If I may give you some advice for 'the poet and the pendulum': if you do the reaction I would recommend the subtitled version. Oh! And since you're a fan of the Phatom of Opera, try Nightwish's version with their old singer Tarja Turunen from the 'end of an era' tour. You won't regret it, I promise! :) Greetings from Germany!

It's the soaring legato of Floor over Marco's staccato grit that I love. For more of that, Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Aires. Also like Floor getting slinky, Emppu bouncing sideways across the stage and Jukka using his stick-flips to time his drum beats. Yes, wait a bit for TPATP.

[@TimoArula]

This song is from "Imaginaerum" (the seventh studio album from Anette era). Marko has great menacing tone here , and Floor Growls ( only few will notes this ). Plus , this song has a crazy Van Halen Vibe to it ( Van Halen - Aint Talkin' Bout Love comes to mind ). This song took me several listens and deep dive at first , and now I listen this song daily . Love this song !!! Nightwish Shadow Unit From Estonia 🤘😎🤘

Hi friend. Glad to see you picked Ghost River on your journey. I think it's one of the most underrated songs ever and I'm not talking about just Nightwish history. Once again I felt what you feel while watching the performance. Thanks for bringing the memories back. Will be so rewarding when you finally reach The Poet and the Pendulum :)

Hey Ozy! Yeah I agree, this song is brilliant! Thank you so much again my friend!! Super excited for that one!🤘💪🙏

[@brianwillson9567]

I’m so enjoying joining you of this journey, even if it’s a road I have trod many times. You have such a NW journey after you have completed Wacken. You will find the Anette version of this song from Imaginaerum so different from Floor’ live version. I can only say, follow the advice. Leave Poet until AFTER you have completed Wacken AND until after you have covered quite a bit of Tarja And you have understood the back story. Listening to Tarja for at least half a dozen tracks really helps fill out the story. THEN immerse yourself in POET, the Floor Wembley version NOT Anette or Marco. Only then listen to the Marco demo version of Poet ( done before Anette joined) The demo version is even darker and Marco displays a lovely ‘soft voice’ in addition to his Viking warrior growl. So glad you are enjoying the NW journey.

[@skeezesmith7954]

Here’s the condensed version of the context concerning Poet and the Pendulum. Tuomas fires Tarja. The fans hate Tuomas. Tuomas goes into a deep depression. He writes an epic song. That’s all you really need to know. 😄🤘

@@marbenthesaffa Okay,I gave this quite some thought, and as I posted on another video, here's my updated wish list for reactions to Nightwish - they are somewhat ordered to increase in complexity in terms of composition, one might say... and also to give a little side-by-side "comparison" of the two amazing singers of Nightwish, Tarja Turunen and Floor Jansen. Not to point out which one is supposed to be better, though - I love them both equally... and engaging in that topic starts a sh*tstorm of comments...!

It’s not one of my favorites, but still a very captivating song. Thx for your reaction to that. If you really want the ultimate Marko experience, go watch the islander live in Tampere, or maybe double feature it with the official video ( with Annette, the former singer, doing the backing vocals). It’s a very very different song to the rest of nightwish, because it was written by Marko. One of those songs that takes you home, tucks you in and leaves you grateful and satisfied. Highly recommended.
