Nightwish - Song of Myself - Reaction

[@2ndhandsoulsmusic]

For Ann Waychoff. May she always rest in peace. She will always rock on! Through our memories as well as just being a great person in general. For so many people to love her makes me feel like we missed out on a lot of great times with her. We wish we could have met her and had some time to talk. R.I.P. Ann Waychoff.

[@moniquevanaken2638]

Marko once said in an interview he was so happy to sing with Floor because he didn't have to back down on his vocals, he could belt full on, and that's one of the reasons this song is one of my favorites. And Chrissy... you can recognise Jukka because he's always wearing a bandana.

[@crissyperry1080]

Thank you for that

[@MilaMan]

Yes, and I too love bandanas ❤

[@chriso6719]

Favorite song of the late Ann Waychoff, Mother of the Nightwish Army. Inspired by the 52 chapter 19th century poem of the same name by Walt Whitman. The studio version has a spoken poem section at the end, written by Tuomas in an ode to the original. The words to that are what is on the big screen behind the band. An Anette era song on the Imaginaerum album Song #14 of 15 here at Wacken , right after Ghost Love Score. One of the reasons Emppu has that cabinet on stage is to use it as a table for his Corona beer and guitar picks. lol

[@make_m_finland]

This was/is Ann's song.... to Ann ❤🕯 (by NW fan since 1998)

R.I.P. Ann Waychoff. For ever, your Song. 🌹

[@frenkwd1]

R.I.P Ann Waychoff mother of the Nightwish Army. June 28th, 2020 . Ann was a big Nightwish Fan. And every new person who listened to NW, she went through a little chat. And gave them some info about NW. This was her favorite song. And this song belongs to her. I like very much that Gabriel have continue Ann s work.... so her heritage is still here.

[@2ndhandsoulsmusic]

Yes absolutely. He's done a great job carrying along her legacy. If it wasn't for him, we would probably be reacting to videos that are the wrong speed or something like that. We are soooo appreciative of Gabriel Bardac for providing us links with the correct speed. We don't ever want to put out a video with the wrong stuff. That would just be wrong.😁

[@2ndhandsoulsmusic]

Apparently Ann Waychoff was a very influential person in this entire project. We would love to have met her.

[@Kelsea-2002]

Simone and Epica are quite nice, but the grandmasters of art are and remain Floor and Nightwish!

[@nicolasangelini3441]

Opinions

[@zoeystar4668]

I like them both, but agree with you on this. Nightwish has the ability to pull you in no matter what or where you are and doing, they just bring it with every composition.

[@genekent2391]

I like Epica, but NW is the god of symphonic metal. "No throne shall be set above them, and those whose pride makes them believe they are the true gods of metal heaven will be cast out and become The Kings of Wormwood, destined to bring about Ragnarok, and feel the grasp of true and eternal death." Book - Metal Bible, Chapter Nightwish, and The Coming of the One True Metal Band, Verse 10, Chapter 1.

[@NZWozza]

Not sure why it's a competition? I'm about equal on both depending on mood.

[@dixie3086]

Another sad one to add to Crissy's list is "Dead Boy's Poem" the most personal song to Tuomas. He has said that after he is gone, that would be the one that he would want to be remembered for. It's the only one I have watched that Emppu does not smile. Live in Buenos Aires 2018.

Gene from Marianna here....this is my favorite NW song after The Greatest Show on Earth...."sometimes the within is piano black...piano black over cleansing waters". Some of the most beautiful lyrics I've ever heard! Tuomas is an absolute genius!!!

[@kentk2215]

My personal favorite from this show. Floor really makes it her own. Dark, mysterious, crunchy. “Sometimes the within Is piano black.” That second half is awesome, and Floor summons fire. Dead Boy’s Poem from Buenos Aires next?

[@humphreyterveer1338]

BTW... I like blue grass a lot, I grew up with it, my father used to record a lot of blue grass music on a reel to reel recorder. There are a lot of famous artists among them that I listen to, 'Allison Kraus, Bill Monroe, Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs, Ralph Stanley, Gillian Welch. I love these artists for being so humble and down to earth.

[@ceciellepeters4696]

Amazing song Nice reaction again Have fun at youre festival

[@Idefixu]

Talking about blue grass I hope you'll react to "Steve'n'Seagulls - Thunderstruck", (AC/DC cover). The video has 150 million views. Tens of thousands of comments, 99% positive. The band started as kind of a joke, but became a surprising success. The band is from Finland, very nice country boys, I have met them a couple of times. They are great live as well.

[@PaulOutdoors]

Yet another Nightwish masterclass in composition, song writing, story telling and performing live. I cannot rank my favourite Nightwish songs as my favourite always happens to be the one that I am listening to at any given time such is the depth of their music catalogue. Each song is a journey with so many transitions, twists and turns. Thank you again for another great reaction. Paul - Nightwish Army UK Division 🙏😊👍

Great reaction to a wonderful song. I agree with Crissy, Poet and the Pendulum is one of the 'Great Songs' of Nightwish.

[@crissyperry1080]

My Favorite 😍

[@SolFaithman]

Great reaction as always. For me Jukka has a thicker almost "wet" sound to his kit where as Kai is has a much tighter and dryer sound. Still both amazing drummers!

[@jeffwinch6266]

Kai has that modern rapid fire bass drum technique and even though I prefer Pearl drums over Tama, his drum sound is dead sounding. His drum heads must be tuned tight. Pantera had that same sound and tuning technique. Jukka has that old school thump to his drum sound. He must've been inspired by the 80s San Fran sound that spawned Mettallica, Megadeth, Exodus, Testament, etc... Jukka has a sound comparible to Dave Lombardo (Slayer), and Tommy Lee (Motley Crue). Both Drummers had a ton of thump and resonance to their sound. Tommy Lee basically put Tama on the map in the early 80s and Dave was the best thrash drummer from that early thrash scene.

[@BrendonChase_2015]

An absolute banger, even if it's the "abridged" version w/ the poetry (see: NW Army Field Marshal Martine's comment). My favourite moment here is at 7:35 where Emppu lets his guitar soar while casually taking a sip. Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘

[@joekel55]

It is A Tribute to the poem in 52 chapters, One for every week of the year, " Song of myself " by Walt Whitman(one of the co-founders of US poetry) . The 7th line of the song is ""Of mermaids, of Whitman's and the Ride""". The extended studio version of this song has, at the end, a poem as a tribute to Whitman made by Tuomas, the keyboard player and the mastermind of nightwish. These lines you can also see fast flahing on the ledscreen of this video. Bucle up, it goes very deep. " I see a slow, simple youngster by a busy street With a begging bowl in his shaking hand Trying to smile but hurting infinitely Nobody notices I do, but walk by An old man gets naked and kisses a model-doll in his attic It's half-light and he's in tears When he finally comes his eyes are cascading I see a beaten dog in a pungent alley He tries to bite me All pride has left his wild drooling eyes I wish I had my leg to spare A mother visits her son, Smiles to him through the bars She's never loved him more An obese girl enters an elevator with me All dressed up fancy A green butterfly on her neck Terribly sweet perfume deafens me She's going to dinner alone That makes her even more beautiful I see a model's face on a brick wall A statue of porcelain perfection beside a violent city kill A city that worships flesh The first thing I ever heard Was a wandering man telling his story It was you, the grass under my bare feet The campfire in the dead of the night The heavenly black of sky and sea It was us Roaming the rainy roads Combing the gilded beaches Waking up to a new gallery of wonders every morn Bathing in places no-one's seen before Shipwrecked on some matt-painted island Clad in nothing but the surf Beauty's finest robe Beyond all mortality we are Swinging in the breath of nature In early air of the dawn of life A sight to silence the heavens I want to travel where life travels Following its permanent lead Where the air tastes like snow music Where grass smells like fresh-born Eden I would pass no man, no stranger, no tragedy or rapture I would bathe in a world of sensation Love, Goodness, and Simplicity (While violated and imprisoned by technology) The thought of my family's graves was the only moment I used to experience true love That love remains infinite As I'll never be the man my father is How can you "just be yourself" When you don't know who you are? Stop saying "I know how you feel" How could anyone know how another feels? Who am I to judge a priest, beggar, whore, politician, wrongdoer? I am, you are, all of them already Dear child, stop working, go play Forget every rule There's no fear in a dream "Is there a village inside this snowflake?" A child asked me "What's the color of our lullaby?" I've never been so close to truth as then I touched its silver lining Death is the winner in any war Nothing noble in dying for your religion For your country For ideology, for faith For another man, yes Paper is dead without words Ink idle without a poem All the world dead without stories Without love and disarming beauty Careless realism costs souls Ever seen the Lord smile? All the care for the world made Beautiful a sad man? Why do we still carry a device of torture around our necks? Oh, how rotten your pre-apocalypse is All you bible-black fools living over nightmare ground I see all those empty cradles and wonder If man will ever change I, too, wish to be a decent manboy But all I am Is smoke and mirrors Still given everything, may I be deservin And there forever remains That change from G to E minor. "

[@brianhuggins6561]

What a fantastic song... The choreographing and the pyrotechnics... Both Marco and Floor.. Their mid and high registers are out of control...

[@Piia2023]

@@2ndhandsoulsmusic no, she passed June 28th 2020, 64 years old. You can say she was the mother and founder of the Nightwish Army, one reason the Nightwish comment section is what it is, her legacy. She introduced every new reactor to Nightwish, what Gabriel has continued with. She was a very sweet and lovely woman, who was dearly loved on the comment section. There is a lot that could be said about Ann and her special place in the Nightwish community, and as you saw she is still remembered whenever this song is reacted too.

No 2 in my list. Best description of depression - "Sometimes the Within is Piano Black". Marcos second entry, the gliss - my ringtone so I can hear it several times a day. The switch from the soft vocal at the start in the "velvet" register, to raw power. Unfortunately the sebum version is not so good, but there is a fan made video that has the album ending (a lengthy poem) added. Sadly not played live since this EFMB tour.

[@jeffwinch6266]

Great song and reaction, as usual. Here is the whole rabbit hole for you: Nightwish forms in 1996, After forever forms in 1995 by Mark Jansen and Sanders Gommans, 16yr. old Floor Jansen joins in 1997, Mark Jansen leaves in 2001, After forever supports Nightwish on tour in the early 2000s, Mark Jansen forms Epica along with 17yr. old girlfriend Simone Simmons and keyboardist Coen Jannsen, Simone Simmons was ispired to sing by original Nightwish vocalist Tarja Turunen and attend the same vocal academy as friend Floor Jansen (not at the same time), Tarja was fired from Nightwish in 2004 (end of an era DVD is the recording of the final show) and eventually replaced by Annete Olzen, Epica supports Nightwish on tour during this period, 2008 After forever releases their 5th album and starts to make a dent in the US market but at the end of the tour the band basically quits Floor (She is very politically correct about this to this day but by 2008 Floor had developed her own fan base apart from the band), Floor forms Revamp in 2009 and supports Epica on parts of their tour during this time, 2012 Anette is replaced for some shows by Floor and is eventually fired from Nightwish, At the time of the 2013 recording of the Wacken show and DVD Floor "is not" a full time member yet, shortly after Floor and Troy were made full time members of Nightwish, 2015 Floor officially disbands Revamp after their 2nd album and tour. All the while in the US we were exposed to Nu metal, ignoring the European symphonic scene - WHAT AN INSULT AND A TRAVESTY!!! I haven't even mentioned Delain. A more poppy radio friendly version of symphonic metal, good stuff though. Charlotte Wessels is a fantastic vocalist. Their Paradiso show is great.

[@lilbo1Y1]

This film crew had a great sound guy. He borrows sound from the main sound board from the bands live sound guy. The film crew sound guy has to adjust the sound on his end so you never know how a live video will sound. Great reaction

[@eddiewinehosen6665]

I heard the best description of the difference between Jukka & Kai, both great drummers. Someone, somewhere said Jukka is a Sith and Kai is a Jedi, both tapped into the force but Jukka more animated and chaotic while Kai is more like a metronome, steady and calm.

It's a pity that you didn't get to hear the poem (spoken part), which is part of album version of this song. Like the song, it's written in Walt Whitman style. The whole song is a homage to Whitman, Tuomas's favourite poet. He wrote the lyrics and poem in a way that Whitman would possibly have done. The poem is pretty raw, yet beautiful and the voices recorded in this spoken part are those of Troy and some of Nightwish's family and friends.

Marco also has some involvement with the band's sound I assume. In an interview jun1 , 2020 Marco told - Yea. When I was in my twenties I got to be an apprentice recording engineer. That is why I was sitting in the studio and helping people out. I was also doing a lot of studio vocal work; both coaching, arranging, and singing harmonies. It had been an interest of mine, but I do have to say lately I have been putting the brakes down. (Laughs) At some point in time I was doing so much work it started to lose its point.

How did I miss this reaction, wonderful! One of my faves from the NW. Btw, what was that bluegrass festival called? I've been intrigued by the stunning virtuosity of the bluegrass music since my teens. That was when I found Steve Morse's solo albums and especially his prog rock group Dixie Dregs. His plectrum technique is amazing, and the joy of musicianship just shines through his touch. I'd love to have some recommendations from any and all of you regarding the bluegrass genre. Tell me where to look -- show this poor 3rd hand soul the way! And any curve balls are very welcome, too.

Like some have already commented, this was the favorite song of the late Ann Waychoff, who passed away Sunday, June 28, 2020 at age 66.

Wacken is an amazing Festival! almost 100.000 metalheads from Europe are gathering 4 days per year to see great Metal bands and Nightwish was the Showstopper. Can you imagine the fun we have camping there for 4 days? :D Hellfest is another big Festival in France, Graspop in Belgium (it started with pop, now it is only all kinds of Metal) Bands like Metallica, Alter bridge, Megadeth, Pantera and so many more I have seen on these festivals. This year Nightwish was also the showstopper before metallica in a festival in Holland. It was great to see how they interacted with eachother (allthough I banned Metallica completely since James became a big trophy hunter and loves to kill Kodiakbears...bears being my fav animals :( ) Megadeth made a good song about cowards of trophy hunters, eat that james :D

Oh wow. I did NOT know that. I mean, I've never been massively into Metallica in any case. But yeah, that's sad. Speaks a lot to a person's character IMO.

One of my favorites! It's like two songs in one.

you talked about the quality of the music and vocals before it is put on KZbin, of course it was first tuned by a specialist and mixed with film material, but in real life it is even more amazing than on KZbin, in the audience a technician walks around with a tablet (kind of laptop computer) where he can see and HEAR exactly which microphone needs to be louder or softer, and hearing specialist so, they always do it with TV recordings, so when Floor sings a bit softer, tuning he goes up a bit, she goes too loud afterwards it goes down a bit. that's why it sounds fantastic at both a performance and a recording or certainly for a KZbin channel, the technician does it himself. That's why you hardly hear the audience with one song and with another technician you can, can turn it away or pay it that is the statement that it sounds so great, in fact, I've even seen them do this. gr.Jan gr. from the Netherlands ,🇱🇺 KEEP DIGGEN ITE🤘🤘❤️❤️🤘🤘

On the album Imaginaerum, the 4th and the last part of "Song of Myself" ia called "Love" and is the entire second half of the complete track, containing nothing but ambient symphonic metal music and spoken narrations. It beautiful. One of my favorite vers is the following, but all are superb : An obese girl enters an elevator with me All dressed up fancy A green butterfly on her neck Terribly sweet perfume deafens me She's going to dinner alone That makes her even more beautiful
