Storytime Wacken 2013. Best Nightwish with Floor performance ever.

[@Thorgrim247]

Floor does it to us all Athena. Her voice and stage presence bring us a powerful yet emotional dynamic. Tears of joy. 🤯🤯❣❣I would join you in that Dr. Who back in time journey.

I totally agree! Let's all join and go back in time 😁😸

Tuomas writes pure emotion and the band is the perfect instrument that translates it into sound. Floor lives for the song and becomes whatever emotion that he is trying to evoke. The end result is something that you can't describe but can only experience.

[@AthenaDK]

I totally agree! 😁 Everything is perfect, from the writing to instruments / singing and giving us goosebumps!

Floor is the only singer, Nightwish the only band, that can bring a tear to my eye while at the same time I'm Headbanging. Great reaction, and i think you're not alone in wishing to go back in time to be at this unbelievable show. Keep em coming, really enjoying your rediscovery of Nightwish 🤘

[@AthenaDK]

Thank you very much! I totally agree! I listen to a lot of music in general but Nightwish made me tear up a lot since I've rediscovered them! It's really the only band that pretty always does! I'm also glad I'm not alone! 😊

Thank you, very nice reaction! Just Nightwish doing Nightwish things! And as you have surely noticed, although they are all outstanding , none of them standout 😍 Nightwish is their own genre and no other band comes close to the level they are at. Never, in the history of music entertainment, have a set of skills and talent collided in such powerful manner. Tuomas is a true genius as a composer and with lyrics.

[@AthenaDK]

Hello thank you 😁 🙏 and I totally agree!! An unique band that brings a lot of emotions! A lot of joy when we listen to them 🙏

My story is similar to yours. I was listening to Nightwish around 2004-2010 and then just stopped. Still, to this day, I don't know why. I came back to their music around 2020, and I've missed so much! So many live shows.

The music and Floors voice, it's so powerful.

Hi Athena i told you you wouldn't be disappointed what's this your second i believe and you won't go wrong with the songs from [waken 2013] the only thing i would say is when you reach the song the poet and the pendulum try to read the letters that Tuomas wrote before listening and Gabriel from the Nightwish Army he can help you a lot.

Thanks for sharing your reaction & lovely cat to a song encouraging to embark on a journey of discovery, setting sail on the limitless "chest of tales" to explore the limitless possibilities of imagination. P.S. Floor has been diagnosed as a hyper-sensitive person, which is most likely why she can convey emotions so well.

Hi there Athena. You look beautiful and that cute cat makes you just so great duo. I had a pure Persian cat and 1 normal cat that had probably 1 million different genes in her. Lol. Anyways welcome to Nightwish army. I hope you'll enjoy and do lot's more of these reactions so you get to learn in how many ways Floor really can sing and perform. She is our current and in my opinion best front woman by far. Tarja was the favorite before Floor, because I didn't warm up to Anette. She was too different after Tarja left. But every member change, and singer change brought something new to the band.

[@AthenaDK]

Hello thank you very much 😁 🙏😸 Oh nice hahah two kitties! I have just this one and he's already demanding so much love that I wouldn't have time for another one 😹 And indeed I agree Tarja was also amazing! I actually don't have a lot of memories from the period Annette was there... But now that Floor is here I'm happier than even! 😊

[@572Btriode]

Mme. Athena. Might help you to know Tuomas uses several pseudonyms to refer to himself in various Nightwish songs which he writes from experiences, observation or imagination, he says he is a man with a boy's heart, a grown-up Peter Pan, and you will see that directly in some places, when he uses boy narrators sometimes in place of himself. Digging into his lyrics is almost a second bite of the cherry. He will also use poet, dreamer, writer/song writer or ocean soul - Tuomas has an affinity for the ocean, he wanted to become a marine biologist; keep all this in mind for later, it will help. So here, "A writer by a fire. . . . . ." Tuomas is speaking to you directly, he is the story-teller, the “writer by the fire” - "Took a journey into a child-man’s heart" would be Tuomas remembering the childhood stories, the Peter Pan escapades of his imagination and fascinations, but the boy has grown up from being a Peter-Pan, the crib is empty. I am: the voice of Never-Never land, the empty crib, the journey, the destination, the home, Tuomas says, he's taking you back to his childhood fascinations. Floor sings the bridge "Neverland, innocence, dreams of every man. . . . . ." in a high operatic head voice, a pitch you might expect from a very excited small boy. Now, go look at all the lyrics and the references to the childhood classic stories and it all drops into place; it's one of the songs where it is easy to dig inside Tuomas' metaphoric lyrics and unravel them. Good stuff, you keep at it, Nightwish will not disappoint, and your lovely cuddly orange cat makes it all an 11 out of 10. Emotional, try Dead Boy's Poem, Tuomas' self-written obituary, or Our Decades in the Sun: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bn-maGVrbrmDnac which has lyrics. This latter song has only ever been done live as an acoustic version with just Troy on guitar, apparently the band had a hard time holding it together just recording it, Floor allegedly missed her cue being a sobbing wreck in the vocal booth. Floor especially, is very close to her parents.

[@AthenaDK]

Hello thank you very much for this, thanks for these anecdotes I had no idea but this makes me love Tuomas even more! He's a very talented and special artist! He's amazing! I'll definitely listen to that song thank you very much for this recommendation! 🙏

[@jukkahelminen9071]

This is a really nice song and it is still (tour 2021-23 at the latest) included in NW's concert set! But in a way that concert brings sad feelings to me because I know it will be this drummer's 3rd to last NW gig. Or in general, the third and last gig of his entire career as a drummer. After Wacken, they had two more festival gigs and then that world tour (2012-2013) ended. And since then, Jukka has not been able to return to the drums for health reasons. Which is a bad thing. First of all, I like the way he plays, and secondly, he himself enjoys playing immensely. You can clearly see how he lives every note in his every cell. He really doesn't just play, he lives that music. That's why I feel bad that he had to stop.

[@damienmaynard8892]

At least he's still with Nightwish in marketing and management! More like family than a band!

[@AthenaDK]

Oh I totally understand why this is emotional, every artist is such a big part of a band we love, especially a band like Nighwish, since I've rediscovered them they have a special place in my heart, I hope to see them live one day

Nightwish: finish the concert. Sabaton: lots of stuff, but "82nd All the Way", "The Red Baron", and "The Nightwitches" are ones I like (this group does historical songs). Eleine: "Enemies" and "Ava of Death". There's also some things about Floor: Floor was on a show called Beste Zangers and sang several songs in different styles, also there's a reunion special of a school she attended where you get to see her parents and how she came to be a part of NW. Amaranthe: Covered Sabaton's "82nd All the Way", "True" is a great song, and they several others. Within Temptation: "Faster", and "Paradise" (ft. Tarja Turunen - first singer of NW). Tarja: "Undertaker", "Innocence". Dorothy: "Rest in Peace", "Raise Hell", "Gifts from the "Holy Ghost". Semblant: "What Lies Ahead". This barely scratches the surface, but it's a place to start.
