Lyrics: Storytime
It was the night before
When all through the world
No words, no dreams
Then one day
A writer by a fire
Imagined all of Gaia
Took a journey into a child-man's heart...
A painter on the shore
Imagined all the world
Within a snowflake on his palm
Unframed by poetry
A canvas of awe
Planet Earth falling back into the stars
[Chorus]
I am the voice of Never, Never Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real
Every memory that you hold dear
I am the journey
I am the destination
I am the home
The tale that reads you
A way to taste the night
The elusive high
Follow the madness
Alice you know once did
Imaginarium, a dream emporium!
Caress the tales
And they will dream you real
A storyteller's game
Lips that intoxicate
The core of all life
Is a limitless chest of tales...
[Chorus]
I am the voice of Never, Never Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real
Every memory that you hold dear
I am the voice of Never, Never Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
Searching heavens for another earth...
[Orchestral]
Neverland, innocence, dreams of every man. A-ah-a!
Neverland, innocence, every man, Peter Pan
Neverland, innocence, dreams of every man. A-ah-a!
Neverland, innocence, every man, Peter Pan
[Chorus]
I am the voice of Never, Never Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real
Every memory that you hold dear

[@michelecarlini3285]

Floor's headbanging...I dare you to not fall in love with her!

[@shankthebat8654]

Floor is just an unbelievable singing presence live. Tarja and Annette both brought their own unique voices, but Floor seems to have really embraced being part of the band, and her energy at the close of this song is undeniable.

[@cavernadigitalpro]

Dude, how can she have so much energy and stay so in tune throughout the whole concert with such vocally difficult songs?

[@AT87]

Would be kinda fun if you reacted to your own reaction to Ghost Love Score sometime in the future.

[@ginnydileo5168]

I agree. You can play a drinking game around how many times they call themselves douchebags.

[@diandraa_]

That's a really good idea !

[@fdsannie]

That made me laugh out loud!!!!!!!

[@Retset]

Great idea!

[@Warmanmx]

agreed

[@motherhubbard1560]

Jukka and that drum solo that starts at 4:26...yes! He does everything with so much energy and enthusiasm! I always watch for him in the older videos.

[@ioanniskostoulas4448]

Song Of My Self and Last Ride Of The Day the next ones from Wacken. Big respect to the music they produce.

[@DarkOmar07]

OOOH YEAH !!! NIGHTWISH IS GREAT ! More reactions of this Show !! insane !!

[@nicoledeMagalhaes]

Minha música preferida do Nightwish. Obrigada por isso.

[@joshcavaradossi4813]

I really love it, because Floor sings wonderful like she did in After forever!!! ❤

[@buffmaloney]

Have you ever seen a band have so much fun performing?

[@pavolridrich3434]

Ooooh how I live Floor. Damn hot, with incredible voice and charisma so huge not many people can compete with her. I love her. Theocracy - Mirror of Souls. Next reaction :)

[@Retset]

Even though I keep begging for Yours Is An Empty Hope (!), this is one of my favourite NW songs so many thanks guys.

[@APREACTS]

We will get to your request

[@yassinkf]

do this as well as Weak Fantasy please

[@Cisuh84]

Nightwish live @ tampere The Greatest Show On Earth. That one is best shows out there. You guys should watch that!

[@talithav2896]

hahhaha you had me dying in the beginning ! "It's that time of the month"

[@timomastosalo]

Just missing 'I'm bleeding to hear this song'. Yeah, us guys and how we count our months

[@talithav2896]

@@timomastosalo hahaha !😂

[@skeletankmcgraw7343]

The cameras are so well done because this show was shot as a live CD/DVD called "Showtime, Storytime", which I personally have. I am sure you could purchase it somewhere like on Amazon or directly from the label (I am not sure if its Century Media or Nuclear Blast because Nightwish was once on Century Media and I am not sure when exactly they went to NB). It also has the documentary that covers that world tour leading up to that Wacken show, even the part during the US leg of the tour where they lost Annette and Floor came on to help them finish the tour.

[@skeletankmcgraw7343]

And that is what I get for posting prematurely, it seems you are aware of the DVD's existence so nevermind! :P

[@InquieteNightshade]

I love watching this videos with you guys because Imaginaerium is my favorite album by Nightwish and Floor is my favorite of the three girls, so I get to listen to my favorite songs go from 60 to 1000.

[@kjaniga17]

Don't forget about the epic show in Tampere, Finland

[@brewswillis9783]

Kudos to you guys for your retrospection on your GLS reaction. Caught on to you guys late but stay with it, you're on point.

[@Netjak]

The Tampere show is also incredible!

[@barbaravance6774]

Floor is a 6ft. Tall Valkarie GODDESS! She has a voice that can't be touched! Her stage presence and energy is Amazing. The entire band are FANTASTIC! The writing and vocals...Ahhhhh! Ok, rant over.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@robbarbe551]

Thnx for Reaction..... My favorite band and my favorite reactors.....what a lovely Sunday..... Thnx Your Dutch fan .....rock on

[@MichellePlaysGames]

lol you know we'd watch a whole livestream of you watching a live DVD... you know it! :P

[@APREACTS]

You probably right lol

[@jlhe1356]

love Nightwish most

[@SuomenPaska]

One of my favourite Nightwish songs from end of an era is Creek Mary's Blood. Its a really underrated song, granted not as heavy as most of NW stuff, but would definitely recommend checking it out.

[@SpawntheFuries]

Also from the Wacken performance, Ghost River and Last Ride of the Day were fantastic. Then again it's Nightwish after all, every song is fantastic.

[@MetalChickCrisis2040]

I can't wait for the reaction to Ghost River at Wacken :D

[@fdsannie]

Song of Myself from Wacken is a great one. This was a good choice too. Heck their all good!!!!!!!! I would sit with you to watch it!

[@Piia2023]

Ann Waychoff so would I...I really would like it...

[@johnhitchens2265]

good news guys. They also have a great DVD called From Wishes to Eternity with young Nightwish, and Vehicle of Spirit from their Endless Forms tour, so you have almost limitless live shows

[@ivanyerovi8873]

Rewatch Ghost Love Score! But the original live video from Buenos Aires. Is one of the first performances of Floor with Nightwish and is fucking epic.

[@Piia2023]

Ivan Yerovi yes, they should definately have to do that with that show...it is so epic...!

[@ronaldboers8061]

Good suggestion. they can review this version without having to rewatch the version of wacken. i like audience reaction on that version. How they are shouting out her name at the end.

[@toro55ful]

Ivan Yerovi yeaaah!! i like that version more than the wacken version.

[@AzelasEM]

I was there (from Buenos Aires myself) and was absolutely EPIC. Would love a reaction to that

[@ricardoespitiarunza2823]

Hahahahaha I love these guys :) son and father getting fun :)!

[@altiusgym4657]

Song Of My Self

[@dieseldog00]

So you guys like THIS song ay??? Ghost Love Score is Nightwish's Magnum Opus...you know like Beethoven's Ninth? Now a word or three about Dutch Frontwoman Floor Jansen. She is a trained opera singer but she can sing in almost every genre of music. In her youth she was a competitive bodybuilder at 6'1" 200lbs. Floor was brought into Nightwish as a replacement for the previous singer Anette Olzon. After this concert she was asked to become a permanent member of the band which she accepted. Due to the worldwide pandemic, Floor has recorded several songs in her home studio which you can find here on youtube. The ones she sings in Dutch Finnish and German have English subtitles thanks to her recognition of the massive increase in her English-speaking fans. We love you Floor!!! [BTW one of her fans bought a "WET FLOOR" sign from a hardware store and gave it to her wrapped as a present. She brought it to a rehearsal and put it in front of her mic stand LOL!! :-D :-D]

[@maxmattt]

Oh god I love how into it she gets, She just let’s the music take her.

[@nick74bul]

Song of Myself from Wacken concert is great. You would like it for sure. And about watching the whole concert I can say that I've watched it multiple times during a month back then. Was like hypnotized..

Very good song. Period. And I'm not talking about that time of the month.

[@andrewludwig9251]

Great Song!

[@ICANanimations]

Its that time of the month again.

[@1981juhis]

Thanks guys!! Glad you noticed that cameraworking😀 I like that too with this concert, I think they filmed it with seventeen cameras if I remember correctly and even that makes the whole show so phenomenal!! They're just amazing!! Catch you later🤘🤘OH, btw guys if I may suggest a next song from end of an era!! "Creek Mary's blood" is absolutely amazing! I've listened it, dont know how many times already after someone talked to me about it few days ago!! I literally think that it is the best thing that "end of an era" can give🤘 thanks!!

[@Piia2023]

juhis 1981 yes, that song is absolutely one of the highlights of the that concert. That song really shows how good of a songwriter Tuomas is.

[@1981juhis]

Kiitos Pia!!🤘

[@Piia2023]

juhis 1981 lets see how they respons ☺ if it could be a Nightwish sunday soon...🤘

[@1981juhis]

Pia Lindqvist yes they should do atleast one on every sunday....... and mondayandtuesdayandwednesdayandth....😉

[@Piia2023]

juhis 1981 ... ...ursdayandfridayandsaturdayandsundayandeveryday...😬😬

[@michaelc3480]

awesome song to react too !!!!!! Floor is just amazing!!!!! looking forward to seeing you react to every video from this concert i watched the whole thing both concerts included on the DVD and its awesome both of them !!!!! lol I would be one to watch the full concert with you its worth seeing again actually more than once

[@ddcarpenter1790]

Whats interesting about this show is that Floor Jansen was hired shortly before this concert and tour started and had only 48 hours to learn the setlist before the show and she performed flawlessly

[@ronaldboers8061]

just in case you were not aware of it , there is documentary about that tour. it was included as bonus material on the "showtime story time" dvd set. but it can also be found on youtube under the name "please learn the setlist in 48 hours"

[@ddcarpenter1790]

Ronald Boers yep i have the bluray of it

[@conolavicus3019]

”time of the month”!!! If you had started to cry right there instead of laughing, I would be a little worried. 🤣

[@markgoody4098]

3 dvd's now guys with the new release Vehicle of Spirit which has 2 shows Wembley and Tampere

[@robdegast3612]

At 15 seconds, I needed a new cup of coffee... 🤣🤣🤣

You should totally watch the movie "Imaginaerum" and review that.

[@SteelwaterVideos]

Nightwish full concert stream! I'm there.

[@vegard-k74]

I have this concert on Blu-Ray and it's amazing!! 🤘😍🤘

[@warhammer5690]

In the words of Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Dont apologize. Its a sign of weakness. Great reaction

[@kimhedqvist2685]

So, you have 9 songs from Wacken left, excluding the outro, and 14 songs from End Of An Era, including covers. Lately you've been uploading Nightwish every three weeks. At that rate, assuming you stick to those two concerts only, we'll have a fun almost one and a half year ahead of us!

[@APREACTS]

We will continue to upload one video every 2-3 weeks for sure.

[@MetalAtog]

Don't forget about the Tampere (or Wembley) concert, at least for the songs of the latest album like "The Greatest Show on Earth".

[@ToastedCigar]

I was just going to mention the same :D It's time for Greatest show on Earth live-reaction

[@Piia2023]

Kim Hedqvist thanks for doing the time counting here...☺ we will have a long time ahead of us ☺

[@kimhedqvist2685]

Well, I'm very biased, and (not so) secretly hoping you would return to having Nightwish every two weeks (which I recall you once said you would?), because there is SO MUCH to see and hear. Regardless, I'll be here all the way!

[@joshuacoe8235]

Cypecore's track Dissastisfactory was also filmed at Wacken. From their new album The Alliance.

[@HumppaTomppa]

Aww you pronounced Tarja correctly, awesome!

[@APREACTS]

That is incredible, I am amazed with myself

[@valoxiii422]

i was thinking the same thing! well done!!

[@embran8486]

I didn't even knew you can pronounce it incorrectly. The other band members on the other hand...

[@HumppaTomppa]

Finnish names are hard to pronounce for english speakers

[@HumppaTomppa]

Tar-ya not Tar-za

[@ChrisDelaySWE]

Please do a Tampere show! Its their grandest one!!!

[@Addik2You]

Already mondaymorning, the day need to start here. What a good way to see you guys react to a Nightwish song. You should definitely check out more epic symphonic female fronted metal bands (gave some hints/ suggestions) For sure you should check out some pre-Nightwish Floor. The bands played in (After Forever, Revamp) or participated with (Star One, Ayreon)

[@hellbaron666]

Nightwish live in tampere is maby most epic show what they have filmed imo but wacken is good too.

[@joskuoraa5643]

Please do Nightwish - the siren (end of an era)

[@Vanes-NL]

Ah finally! This whole show was amazing. Too bad they don't have this drummer anymore. He has great stage presence. I'd like to see you react to Power Trip or Lazarus A.D.

[@Addik2You]

Frank van Es The can do this mini concert. It has just been released. A mini concert as it appears to be in someone's livingroom kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZe5YYqan92sn9U

[@Vanes-NL]

Addik2You yeah, i saw that a few days ago. Good show. Crowd was pretty lame though

[@poltergijstt]

Awesome! Yes!

[@hellhammer6967]

Hey I was at that show :) This year will be my 9. time in wacken ^^ Greets from germany!

[@teegar100]

Floor's sister Irene sings in After Forever.There's some live videos of them both singing together.

[@ginnydileo5168]

By my count, the songs you still need to do from Wacken are, Wish I had an Angel, She is my Sin, Ghost River, Last of the Wilds, Bless the Child, Amaranth, Song of Myself and Last Ride of the Day. I vote for the next one you do to be Bless the Child.

[@neigung]

crimfall- until falls the rain - Awesome Finnish folk death metal band

[@unwrittencraft8781]

"wak" on "wak" off. Genial hahaha😎

[@darrinlowenthal583]

You guys are awesome🍻 Pharoah sails to Orion. 2000 Dvd in Finland "Bad Ass! A shout out

[@Piia2023]

Wait till you have seen the whole concert, it is just epic. Every song is like this, there is no song that isn't amazing. You still have a few to go, so check out Last Of The Wilds, that maybe will surprise you...there is one other band and song I'll have to request, but have to be back for that one... ☺ 🤘

[@fdsannie]

Hi! Pia! It has been an exciting weekend!

[@Piia2023]

Ann Waychoff oh wow...yes...haven't even been able to count how many Nightwish songs there has been...juhis probably knows...😬

[@michaelc3480]

agree the whole concert included on the DVD both of them are awesome !!!!!

[@1981juhis]

Pia Lindqvist I think this was fourteenth

[@1981juhis]

Pia Lindqvist btw Pia you can tell me!! I wont tell anyone!!😂

[@momentsofescape]

9:20 I would. I would want to sit and watch a full Nightwish concert with you guys. So we can headbang and play air guitar, air drums and air keyboards together. Keep up with great videos!

[@whysoserious86]

Floor is the metal princess I've been longing for!

[@mjpmattos]

Great video guys! React to "Scaretale", from Nightwish too. There's a live video with Anette in vocals. Greetings from Brazil!

[@corneliusantonius3108]

Floor has healed these band members

[@SlavomirSihtric]

As I Lay Dying - My Own Grave Nothgard - Draining Veins Nothgard - Age of Pandora

[@APREACTS]

As I Lay Dying not happening video is copyright blocked

[@SlavomirSihtric]

A&P-REACTS I also had it blocked, but for few days I finally can watch it, so I think You guys to.. In that case, You can check Nothgard - Draining Veins or some older AILD stuff like Paralles ;)

[@gabrielrenatomazilu]

Hey, guys!!! \m/ Greetings from Romania! U should see Nightwish - High hopes from End of an Era. It's only Marco on vocals but damn! You're gonna like it so bad!

[@stamaalexgabriel2262]

Gabriel-Renato Mazilu servus bărbate, bune gusturi avem ....😋

[@MadameChristie]

You guys should really try watching the Imaginaerum film. It shows just how damn good Tuomas's instrumental work was on that album.

[@denisewalker7235]

If it is in Germany it would be pronounced Vacken

[@pedjavukmirovic6770]

Vaken

[@Davidtheswed]

Nightwish live at Wembley arena. Greatest show on earth! Or any other song from that show is awesome. Wacken show is awsome but Wembley is 10/10!

[@marcleblanc4479]

I'd watch you two review paint drying......true fans and it's a hoot to watch

[@ronaldboers8061]

Another great symphonic metal band is Within Temptation. They started at the same year as Nightwish (1996). They also have in common that they to have a strong female vocalist (Sharon den Adel). Like Floor Jansen and Simone Simons she is Dutch aswell and her vocals are insane (of the 3 mentioned she my personal favorite). They have many great songs but a good one to start with is "The truth beneath the rose". This clip is from their "Black symphony" concert DVD. On this DVD they were backed by a full symphonic orchestra (60 people) and choir (20 people). kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZq0o6Bso7Ssh5o This concert was my real first exposure to this band and i watched the whole show in one go, not knowing any of the songs. It was a revelation and they got into symphonic metal. Do yourself a favor and take a look at it. I can garantee You won't be disappointed.

[@JolaHilja]

They have to check Within Temptation, can't wait for that, Sharon is also my favourite singer ;)

[@Addik2You]

Ronald Boers Or this one with the almighty George kzbin.info/www/bejne/gV7coKppmcaXes0

[@jannepeuraniemi5053]

They should start having Within Temptation days on saturdays, then we would get Within Temptation and Nightwish in the weekend! That is of course if they like it, but I don't see how they could not like WT when they're enjoying Nightwish as well. Heart Of Everything is still one the best albums I've ever heard, and they have loads of great songs. And I agree that they should react to Black Symhony versions.

[@ronaldboers8061]

defininetly one to watch. But you can basically recommend any song from the "Black symphony" concert.

[@ronaldboers8061]

Janne Peuraniemi Anybody with a good taste in music should like this. Especially if you already like Nightwish. So i would definitly be in favor of your suggestion :)

[@Jurkyification]

Damn... I almost had forgotten that i love Floor

[@ronaldboers8061]

Shame on you. How is it even possible to forget Floor? :)

[@Jurkyification]

well. i suppose there is just so much new music and things happening in life that idk.

[@mariusr.6179]

You really, really, really should check out "Ghost River" from this show. You will love it!

Please check out Varg - Götterdämmerung. In the comments below are the english lyrics. And please check out more Cypecore!!!

[@EsaValkama]

React to Blind Guardian - And then there was Silence and Twilight Force - Twilight Horizon. The former is one of the most intricate and epic songs I've ever heard and the latter has some of the coolest and most insane vocal lines I know.

[@jalf0007]

Do “Last Ride of the Day” next. That is the last song from this show

Please react to Lux Perpetua! It's a band from Poland and they play Power Metal, they released their debut album last year, so they are not very well known, it would be great that you react to a couple of songs of them for promoting the band. I recommend this songs to listen: Lux Perpetua - Curse of the Iron King Lux Perpetua - The Legend Lux Perpetua - The Werewolf
