I think Jenna is ready for ‘Ever Dream’ next! A challenging song for Floor and an introduction to Marko’s incredible backing vocals….

Also agree. It’s Ever Dream time

[@kerrismith5986]

I concur.

[@chadbennett7873]

The thing you will come to realize, Jenna, is that Tuomas is such a brilliant composer, every song is a new adventure. He has no idea how to be derivative or uninteresting. The music is captivating, but when you finally begin to explore his lyrics, you discover he is a poet at heart. He just happens to put his musical genius together with his poet's heart. In the five other members of the band, he has found soul mates, who can express the visions in his mind to our ears. None of them have a discernible ego, but play to the composition. In Floor, he found a color pallet that allows him to paint masterpieces far beyond what he ever had before, and he challenges her while she accepts that challenge and takes the song to the heights it deserves. Another wonderful step on the path to Musical Heaven that you are on ... fun to watch!

[@HCH944]

Brilliantly formulated.

[@KoalityReactions]

Must agree, well said! 🤍

[@jeffk1482]

I concur. Very well done, Chad!

[@chadbennett7873]

@@KoalityReactions Thank you. I am quite looking forward to when you get to some of the deeper, emotional songs. some will require a bit of understanding and background, others will not. "Dead Boy's Poem" is brilliantly beautiful and really touches the heart. It is the only song I've seen where Emppu does not smile as he plays. You can also see his emotion as he waves his fingers at the strings during the solo, almost wanting the poignant pause to hurry up. Another favorite is "Ghost River," an absolute banger about death and crossing over the river. One of the heavier songs, but my favorite Nightwish moment is Emppu doing a little bunny hop during the breakdown, then going into a guitar god pose for the harmonic lead. "The Poet & The Pendulum" requires a bit of background ... it is considered one of the "holy trinity" and is the most devastatingly emotional songs. I'd wait until you have a stronger feel for the band and their songs. In my opinion, the masterpiece and greatest composition of my lifetime is "The Greatest Show on Earth" and is the musical interpretation of the Richard Dawkins book on Evolution. It tells the entire story of this planet, and the life upon it, in approximately twenty minutes. It is so brilliantly composed, that I believe one should get college credits in evolutionary science for listening to it. You might want to research the lyrics to understand the significance of the poetic and allegorical phrasing. "The cosmic law of gravity pulled the newborns around a fire," refers to the planets falling into orbit around the sun. "Lonely farer in the Goldilocks zone" for instance, refers to Earth, the only planet in an area "not to hot and not too cold" for life, as we know it, to exist. The imagery is breathtaking and he flexes his poetic muscles. I am with you on your journey, following close enough as to enjoy, yet trying not to interfere. The brightness in your eyes says everything, and allows me the privilege of experiencing my own discovery once again with a friend this time.

[@RobinC63]

Well written.

[@gene6690]

"The next song is your favorite" is no fable. It holds true for nearly all Nightwish songs. They just don't have one "ordinary" song

and no "toilet break" songs either!.. If you even notice while they're performing!

Thank you for deciding to continue exploring this true ocean of good music! Yes, Nightwish has reached that high of creativity where each of their songs is different, and yet so easily recognizable. "To blame" for this is Tuomas Holopainen (the keyboard guy), the main composer of the band. I look forward to your next reactions 🤘

[@ericsaari2901]

I fell in love with Floor and Nightwish due to this performance and this song. It made me go see them live (it was amazing). Other singers have her range, few have her agility between styles, but pretty almost no one has her tone, power, control and presence on stage to go along with all of that. She is mesmerizing on stage.

[@jamescurfman3284]

She is 100% unique as far as vocalists go. I am SO GLAD that she got her start the way she did, rather than a myriad other 'normal' things that could have happened to influence her. She might be a solid Classical singer right now and never touch Metal, or she could be a bona fide horse rancher and she never would have met Hannes... Just CRAZY stuff to think about...

[@cipondiss7195]

This entire concert is absolutely magical. I think you'd enjoy watching from the beginning!

We are lucky here in Sweden. Since Floor moved here, all we need to do is to ask her to go outside and windmill and we will have elecricity for a whole year. Hahahahaha

[@godsasleep]

Storytelling and child-like wonder are reoccurring themes in many Nightwish songs. 'I Want my Tears Back,' is about nostalgia and yearning to regain that lost sense of wonder we all had when we were young. The live Buenos Aires version is sublime.

[@schout33]

Her 'hair whipping' is called the 'Dutch Windmill'. To see her going wild in that regard watch '7 Days to the Wolves' from Wembley 2015... Tuomas himself is longing back to his childhood and the innocence of that time. In many songs of nightwish you will be noticing that theme. When you hear words like 'Boy'/ 'Poet' / '(ocean) Soul' for instance, you can be sure it means a lot to him.

[@stpfs9281]

Tuomas also put a Windmill in the backdrop, (not a Finnish type of building?), I can't remember which song though, sorry. Seven Days to the Wolves?

[@KevinHollisWI]

NightWish Army Wisconsin Chapter here. So Happy you enjoyed this! The next chapter would by Romanticide, another style of NightWish. Romanticide is a SLAMMING, hardcore vibe with PLENTY of excitement. Enjoy your journey! ❤️🤘

[@Nordic80]

Idk for a non metal head Romanticide might be a hard listen. I have been listening to Nightwish for 15+ years and struggle to listen to that particular song. If you like metal does not necessarily mean like hardcore. Plenty of great songs to discover from Nightwish 🤘🏼

[@Kelsea-2002]

I think it's nice to see how you search for the right words to describe your feelings and impressions. ... After 10 years as a hardcore fan, I still can't really do it. In my opinion, you should now also get to know the second voice of the band - Marko (bassist). That's why I'd like to recommend your new favorite song from Nightwish 'Romanticide'.

[@jimmybumgardner8322]

Can't wait until you hear Marco and Floor singing together. They're really good, EVER DREAM, come to mind. Same concert. More please

[@migo34]

Ever Dream is definitely a great suggestion for the next Nightwish-Journey-Piece :D

Nightwish songs tell stories. They stimulate our imagination, tweak our emotions, and release our inhibitions. Fall in love with the music and loose yourself in the lyrics!

Haha, when I saw what you were doing my eyes lit up! It doesn’t disappoint at all, it’s a thing about Nightwish, no two songs are even similar! A great follow up to this would be Romanticide from the same concert, another facet to see! I have to admit that Floor windmilling is my secret pleasure 😈 Great reaction, congrats on 7k 🎉

[@KoalityReactions]

Thanks Darrell! I definitely have caught myself singing this one in the shower, so it’s done its job! 😂 Excited for Romanticide. Eek! Yeah the windmilling is crazy… I’m tempted to try it, but I need the use of my neck so I’ll probably abstain for now. Thanks so much. 🤍🤍🤍

[@mariopardillo8618]

@@KoalityReactions As far as Floor's windmilling - if you watch carefully, she puts her hands on her thighs for support while doing it. A technique she learned to help protect her neck muscles.

Jenna, Your reactions are wonderful. Thoughtful, genuine, and Fun! 😁 There are many comments in this thread mentioning Marco’s vocals. You are in for a treat when you experience Marco and Floor’s harmonization; also their back and forth vocal play (Tuomas’ creation). …and the magical chemistry they share. Pay close attention. You can catch moments when they glance at each other while singing. You see the admiration they have of the others talents and the joy they feel while interacting vocally.

[@AndyMagnusson70]

Nightwish army, Sweden is checking in. Nice reaction. I was waiting for another one from you. This is a banger

[@jorluo]

Great reaction. - Yep, Tuomas, the keyboardist and the founder of Nightwish, is an amazing storyteller. He always takes you to a journey with his compositions and lyrics.

[@zoeystar4668]

Great song , as every Nightwish song is. You'll be blown away in this journey. Awesome reaction.

[@MilaMan]

I'm so glad you enjoy Nightwish. I have all their albums since 1996 and I was seeing them live concert 16th of June this year. Dear friend I tell you if you ever have a chance to go seeing them live go!

[@marklinden2342]

I discovered Nightwish in Aug of 2021 watching reaction videos. And soon made a commitment to myself to see them live. May 2022, I brought by teenage sons down to Seattle, from Vancounver BC. We flew to Denver to see them. Dropped a good amount of $$$ for the trip, but was worth every penny.....Priceless, as they say. We were fortunate to be only 30' from the stage and Floor. Seeing her in the flesh was mesmerizing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its a Metl concert, a place to go wild and have a great time. ...and we did. But there was also a part deep down that said, stay calm, be alert, don't miss a single word or syllable of Floor singing.....the greatest female vocalist on the planet. ...And YES!! the music was incredible. YES!! they are spot on playing live. Never a miss. True, world class, professional musicians and entertainers! New Sub.......and can't wait to follow your Nightwish Journey. [after you are ~15-20 songs in, take a side trip and watch a couple of Floor's solo videos. Take some time and watch her 'Fan Friday' series she did during the lockdowns. These are filmed at her home. You meet her annimals, her husband (drummer for the Metal Band, Sabaton', and young daughter. Once you learn how Real, humble and down to earth she is, you love her 10x more. ...further down the road, when you really get Floor and know her, you (not being a metal fan) might want to react to a few sons from her earlier bands: After Forever (joined when she was 16) and Revamp. Those bands were Metal! But Floor is still Floor. Its really cool to watch her when she was so young. It is clear even then that she had special vocal talent and you could see the budding charisma that shines through in her Nightwish years.]

[@jcd57]

What a concert yes?. We all keep coming back to this, and always find something amazing, just as you do now. Its unbelievable. Great reaction you added just another aspect... Thank you and please continue

[@lutz1114]

You totally understood the song. Thanks for the great reaction. You were great with Ghost Love Score too. Nightwish and Floor Jansen are just incredible. I never get tired of watching them. I have subscribed so I can watch your reactions.

[@torpitsanas9010]

Great reaction again! Nightwish lyrics is very poetic. Tuomas(keyboard player and songwriter) is big Disney, movie music fan and he read a LOT nonfiction and fiction literature. This song is from 2013 Imaginaerum. Album big theme is imagination and storytelling. They also made "Imaginaerum" full lenght fantasy movie. Their 2015 album "Endless Forms Most Beautiful take huge influences from Richard Dawkins book "The Greatest Show on Earth:The Evidence for Evolution". Enjoy your journey:)

[@wayneccj0710]

Did you notice how easily Floor can command a crowd with just a gesture? When you re-watch the song, notice that Floor did not ask the crowd to clap along. She just put her hands over her head & clapped, & 82,000 people just followed along with thinking about it.

[@Delibro]

And now imagine what that must feel for Floor and the band, of cause they are professionals, but the ones of us who had performed in front of some hundreds or even more audience know that its magical, them going with you, applauding, even cheer. And now 82 000 is so much more :)

[@chaosreign7851]

Great reaction! Nightwish is an amazing band. Music and lyrics written by a true poet, performed by exceptional musicians and sung by a Valkyrie. Her head whipping i think could propel a small country.

[@Frightspear]

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 😍 Love NW so much!

[@deeteenw]

Tuomas shared a few bits about his songwriting process recently. In a nutshell he thinks of a story he wants to tell, imagines pictures or a movie about it and then basically writes the film music for that movie.

[@KoalityReactions]

Wow I love that.

[@ytcag2007]

Hi Jenna. Nightwish Army NJ here. It's safe to say that keyboard player Tuomas, embraced his inner child when he began writing songs. Many of his lyrics point to emotions that have to do with early childhood and wild imagination. He references Disney movies a lot as you read about Neverland and Peter Pan, but he added Alice as well... "Follow the madness, Alice, you know once did." And yes, Tuomas writes all music and lyrics for an album, then presents them to the band during their break. During this time, bass player Marko, helps with any ideas or changes he may come up with musically as well as lyrically. Marko also takes that opportunity to show Tuomas a song or 2 he may have written himself so Tuomas could add at least one of them to the album. Guitarist Emppu (em•poo) and drummer Jukka (yoo•ka) also attend the demo introduction to familiarize themselves with the ideas. Once they all put their minds together, the album starts taking shape. Then starts the music recording portion of the album along with any last minute ideas or changes from everyone, which is usually minimal. Not sure at what point Troy and Floor arrive to hear the demo, but the band takes a trip to Angel Studios, London and meet up with Pip Williams, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, London's The Metro Voices, and Young Musicians Children's Choir. Tuomas shows Pip the album and they all go to work in adding the orchestral and choral parts respectively. Tuomas doesn't travel with an orchestra, but he does use the recordings as backing tracks when playing live. Thank you for the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed. 😊❤️🤘🤘

[@silverblack5475]

Floor had a live stream yesterday and it was so nice see and hear from her , its been a minute since we last heard from her.

[@WNYretiree]

As always, I really enjoyed your reaction. I love how you go into detail about how you feel about each song. Next Nightwish song? Let's go a little heavier and take a look at Romanticide. Banger of a song, and it's time you meet the second vocalist in Nightwish at this time, Marko. The video from this same concert - Wacken 2013 - is great and make sure you choose the one marked "correct speed".

[@KoalityReactions]

Thank you!! And will do! 😅🤘🏼

[@Bolo2028]

You definitely “got” this song. Nightwish tells great stories with incredible artistry. If you like orchestral elements, I highly recommend checking out Sancta Terra by Epica (live with Floor as a special guest singer).

[@cjmacleod3976]

Excellent job! As others have said, you'll find that Tuomas' songs are quite varied in tone and texture with no two really sounding alike. Every new song is a surprise because you never know what to expect, and whatever you do expect is usually subverted. I think Everdream from this same Wacken 2013 show would be a good next step for you, though you really can't go wrong with anything from this show.

[@glenngunnis6642]

Tuomas is a genius and is able to tell a story, not with just the lyrics, but also with the composition and the music.🤘🎸

Southwest BC Canadian division Nightwish Army reporting and good luck on your journey.

[@PomLimey]

I was really looking forward to your next Nightwish reaction. From the way you enjoyed Ghost Love Score I just knew you would appreciate the musical diversity that Nightwish brings. Although written for the previous singer Annette who had a more “poppy” voice, Floor has really made this her own. You have just witnessed Floor’s signature head banging move: as she’s Dutch it’s called the windmill! I really enjoyed your reaction so I hope you keep going with Nightwish. You have so much to choose from. From the heavier “Romanticide from the same concert, to a beautiful ballad called “Dead Boys Poem” live from Buenos Aires or the folky “I Want My Tears Back” again from Buenos Aires. Liked and Subbed.

[@KoalityReactions]

Ooh I like the sound of all of those! Thanks so much. ☺️

[@senacht]

You might consider trying Alpenglow live in Mexico City and Sahara live in Tampa for even more of the storytelling and range of sounds and moods Nightwish can deliver.

[@joekel55]

The secret to Floor's headbanging(she's Dutch so they call it windmilling) is her hands on her thighs on an advice of her physiotherapist.

Great reaction and analysis. Love it. Keep up the good work. The next song maybe Romanticide? 🤘👍

[@johanmelv0gue595]

the song feels very different, mostly because they were made by 2 different singers, Ghost Love Score, it was made for "Tarja" it was more operatic, and Storytime, it was made for Anette, her style was more mysterious and creppy, "FLOOR" Here I had a few months before joining the band, as the third vocalist, which you can realize the vocal talent of "FLOOR" and be able to sing whatever she wants, of the 3 vocalists my favorite is "FLOOR" without a doubt, but of all the albums that "nightwish" has released, my favorites were those of "Anette"

[@Klojum]

When you go deeper into the Nightwish rabbit hole, you will see that this is indeed not 'the Floor Jansen band' (she is the 3rd front woman in NW's history), but that the other band members also will bring their own unique portion of professional musicianship. Be it singing or playing one or more instruments. or on-stage shenanigans.

Windmill. Early in her career Floor was having problems with headbanging and consulted a physiotherapist. They worked out that the windmill was the safest way but you will notice she braces her hands on her thighs and uses her shoulders to help the windmill giving less strain on the neck. Definitely Romanticide next from the same Wacken festival to introduce you to the next singer in the band.

Floor can indeed do everything and this is the most pop'ish song Nightwish has. I hope you react to Ghost River from Wacken 2013 one day to see an example of one of the somewhat heavier songs but with two singers. I'd recommended also reading the lyrics of a song before reacting to it. Most Nightwish song lyrics would be worth publishing as standalone poems, too.

Nightwish has over 100 unique masterpieces, and every song is the favourite song of someone and all of them tell a story and takes you on a journey if you just let them. Not all of the songs will resonate with you all the time, since they are so emotion invoking, but you will find out that when your life moves along, you gain new experiences and your emotional state changes, those songs that you didn't quite get before, suddenly hit you like never before and become your new favourite songs This has happened to me so many times over the ~26 years (I was one of the lucky few who got introduced to Nightwish right from their leaked demo tape) that I have been a HC fan of Nightwish. Others bands come and go, but some part/album of Nightwish always stays constantly in my rotation and "safe place"

The album this song was originally from was called Imaginarium and is from the second 'era' of Nightwish (when Anette Olzon was the Vocalist). Floor did an amazing job of covering Anette, I think.

Floor actually asked her doctor about windmilling in a healthy way to avoid injury. She always puts both hands on her thighs to support her neck and shoulders

I was just watching your 2Cellos video, another classical/metal blend I think you would enjoy is Nightwish's versions of The Phantom of the Opera, 2005 with Tarja and Marco and 2022 with Floor and Henk Poort. And for something a bit different, Lindsey Stirling Phantom of the Opera medley on violin with a rock band backing her.

Nice reaction. Tuomas, the composer is a story teller. He said in numerous interviews that every song he writes starts with a story he wants to tell, followed by the music. It's brilliant that he came up with this song telling his story and then weaves in different famous stories. Peter Pan is obvious, but there is also the reference to Alice in Wonderland (follow the madness. Alice you know once did). Like @chadbennett7873 very well described, there are so many layers to Tuomas lyrics and music that it's never the same or boring. 🖤🤘🏼

[@FromG2eminor]

Yes, the fans are but an extension of the band. I love all their music but Storytime is actually my Favorite along with Dark Chest of Wonders (same concert) as it has the same story vibe. My other tied Favorite is Song of Myself same concert. What's crazy is that you will start trying to pick not only your favorite song but your favorite concert! Enjoy the ride! 😊

Hahah Willy Wonka, that's some serious nostalgia there... "Umpa lumpa do-ba-de-doo... I've got an-oth-er puz-zle for you..." So many good Nightwish songs, Macro's vocals are also great

lol! The Oompa Loompa song will never leave your brain.

The Imaginaerum tour songs many are based on the Nightwish movie of the same name Imaginaerum which the band acts on. The story is based on a dementia patient who is dying and reliving his past as a musician and his estranged daughter coming to terms about forgiving her dying father as he relives his past as an orphan there is something Dark that he had closed of in the past and is a very Disney'ish this movie is the only thing stopping this from being a childrens movie is that one Dark scene that ties the movie together on what made this man the person he is. Well worth a watch.

nightwish army italy present !

[@nevermore5168]

The original version if you want to check it out was done with their 2nd singer Annette Olzen (Floor is the third) and it has that circus look and feel that you want in a Tim Burton kinda vibe. It's amazing, look it up and check it out!🎼🌹

[@KoalityReactions]

Oooh yes, Tim Burton! Dark, kinda creepy, always mysterious. Very cool.

[@helli0n824]

and thats how you turn from "not into metal" to "can´t wait for the next song" in just 2 (metalband) reactions :P

[@marshalljackson9796]

Glad you liked it. I think maybe, Ever Dream next? Your next new favorite song. Enjoyed your reaction. You should be in Hallmark Christmas movies. You could play Lacey Chaberts sister or something.

[@KoalityReactions]

Hahaha I would love to play her sister! Hopefully one day soon. 🤞🏼

Floor is from the Netherlands. Which is why it’s called the Dutch windmill when she head bangs like that.

[@richardmead5969]

consider Jukka the drummer # 1 all time and Nightwish # 3 rock band all time. have the the best in euroland and US live. am 71 so know a little about it since been listening to rock for 60 years

[@jamesanderson5268]

She does what everyone calls the windmill and it take some correct posture. She had issues in her 20s and a doctor corrected her stance and how she holds her hands on her thighs while she does the head twirl. She was 32 and was doing the windmill a lot during this concert but Floor is now 42. I notice she does the windmill a lot less now that she's in her 40s.

I think you are going to find NightWish is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your going to get, but you know it's going to be good.....lol

[@KoalityReactions]

Another great movie. 😉 And I agree, can’t wait!

[@Chantalicious74]

‘Everdream’ next for sure..🔥

[@RobinC63]

“It’s making my brain light up” is probably one the absolute best phrases about listening to Nightwish I’ve ever read. In university I did some papers about the brain and music and you are so right! Also that you mentioned circus like. If watch the original MV with Annette as the singer it definitely gives that imagery. On a different note Storytime is so great for all the obvious reasons but it is my favourite one to watch Jukka (the drummer). He is always very dynamic when he plays but I just feel for some reason he enjoys this song even more. I almost cringe when I see Floor do the Dutch windmill because I have a herniated disc in my neck and 2 compressed discs. I’d been in the hospital emergency if I tried that lol. 😂😂 “Hook” is one of my favourite movies. 😊

[@KoalityReactions]

Yes!! The way music affects the brain is incredible. I’ve done this, and I didn’t end up in the ER, but my neck was definitely stiff. 😅 Hook forever! Rufioooo!

Nostalgia vibes is very appropriate. Tuomas loves to write songs about recapturing the lost innocence of youth. From your commentary it is very apparent you are a lover of storytelling and the human imagination which you will discover is the essence of Tuomas' beautiful poetry and musical arrangements. He is one of those Men who never wants to grow up. To hold on to youthful innocence in the face of reality. He captures that emotion in his music as you will come to realize with each new experience. 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 definitely in for the journey lovely lady. You obviously are open minded enough regarding metal music to give it a chance. Nightwish is a very rare and unique type of metal band. The power and grandeur of metal with beautiful vocal melodies, interesting song compositions, amazing poetic lyrics, with some symphonic additions as well. This Wacken 2013 show is legendary in the world of NIghtwish. However, I think you would love to experience a softer side of Nightwish. These 2 songs are from different shows and will allow you to hear another variation on the magic of Nightwish. This first song is based on a hypothetical concept. When asked what this song was about "Tuomas has said about this song, that it's about if he were to die tomorrow, what would he want to say to everyone that he loves, and that love him..." Notice the small boy on the screen reaching out to the flying swans on the screen. He is reaching out to implore them to take him with to the other side. In archaeological excavations done in Karelia, a child was found and its body was laying upon a wing of a swan. In Finnish mythology and folklore, the swan was the divine messenger between the living and the dead. When a swan dropped its head below the surface, people of old times believed that it was communicating to the spirit world. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4HPfWSnppqggNk - Nightwish - Dead Boy's Poem (Live in Buenos Aires 2018 Lyrics) Or if you prefer to pull up the lyrics and not have them on the screen. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWmoZH9tnMx_g68 - Nightwish - Dead Boy's Poem - Live In Buenos Aires 2018 - Decades Tour Another great one and one of Floor's favorites is written about the European eclipse of the sun in 1999. kzbin.info/www/bejne/apyQm3SJpb6SZs0 - 🎼 Nightwish 🎶 Sleeping Sun 🎶 Live at Monsters Of Rock 2015 🔥 Full HD - Remastered 🔥

I definitely have a love of good storytelling! Can’t wait to hear more - I’ll definitely check those out. Thank you for the kind comment! 🤍

Nightwish Army south Brittany France reporting. Ever dream next, then Romantacide.

[@shawngrothe2686]

The hits keep coming, along with the invading Nightwish Army.

[@damienmaynard8892]

Since the song comes from an album written for Anette, who was a more pop-rock singer, your comment about the style is accurate. Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, Mary Poppins (the chimney lyric).... Tuomas writing about his childhood innocence and imagination - and not wanting to grow up - like Peter Pan. Kind of like Disney meets Metallica in a good way! Tuomas was influenced musically by seeing a Metallica concert in the US.
