First, thank you for the shout-out. You should know that there is no mandatory order in that list, it includes the most successful performances of the band, and the recordings have a good audio-video quality. Often, however, the fans have more appropriate suggestions in the comments, so please don't ignore them. You noticed very well at the end, that their music, even after a decade and behind a screen, carries with it an intensely optimistic energy. And yes, it is felt in the chest, where it "dissolves" the pain and lets you breathe deeply. This energy helped me years ago to overcome difficult moments in life, when the state of tension effectively suffocated me. I'm not a unique case among Nightwish fans, I've heard this in various forms over the years. Likewise, the lyrics, mainly composed by Tuomas, are always significant and often poetic, full of metaphors. Many reactors limit themselves to image and sound, leaving with an incomplete experience. I'm glad that you are one of the relatively few who are perceptive at this level as well. When I was in school, about 3 decades ago :) so before the advent of the Internet, we would gather some friends at the house of one who had a better pickup and listen to an album together, smuggled from beyond the Iron Curtain. Good reactors, like you, remind me of those happy moments of my childhood. Thank you

The things that you seem to appreciate the most about Nightwish is the composition of Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboardist and greatest composer of my long lifetime. He writes most of the lyrics, and about 95% of the music the band plays. Both Tuomas and Floor are empaths and their music and delivery cuts right to your soul. As you progress through their catalog, you will hear that no two songs sound alike, and you will hear many genres and styles, and that is part of the genius of Tuomas. The members of the band are virtuosos in their own right, and they play what best serves the composition, rather than their ego. You will find that your love will grow exponentially with each song. Tuomas composes the orchestrations and has (usually) The London Symphonic Orchestra and Choir record the backing tracks for both albums and live performances. Welcome to the greatest band on the planet. I'm here to join you on your version of the greatest ride of my life!

This a very fun and lovable Nightwish song. I am a 70 year old in service to the Nightwish Army. Before 2019 when I finally had my eyes opened to this band I had decided that there were no more bands of this century that could excite me. I too had never heard of symphonic metal as a genre at that time. My God, what revelation it has been! I encourage you to continue your dive down the NW rabbit hole. Gabriel is a trustworthy guide. For me, this entire 2013 Wacken concert is gold. I’ve witnessed firsthand the great rock icons, starting with the Yardbirds in 1966, and this concert is one of my favorites during all the subsequent years.

This is not your average Billboard Top 100 junkfood. And my next Nightwish recommendation would be the lyric video for 'Shoemaker'; where Nightwish is paying hommage to Eugene Shoemaker, a planetary scientist and geologist so highly esteemed in the scientific community, that a part of his ashes were interred on the moon. This song, and Floor's delivery of those incredible lyrics make me always tear up. Every single time. With love from Germany, Prog O'Holic

With most bands the pivotal point is the singer. When you have a singer like Floor, you would think this also goes for Nightwish. But for Nightwish almost every song is part of the journey through the mind of Tuomas (on keys, composer). Today you have seen a hint of the Peter Pan complex (fear of growing up and losing innocence) he has had for years. Remember it, because it will come back in many future songs.

As you progress you'll see that Nightwish really is extraordinary from all facets. You'll appreciate Emppu (Guitar), Marco (bass vocals-no longer with the band), Troy (exotic instruments). But eventually, maybe, you'll see that as extraordinary as Floor is, and as great as the first singer Tarja was, it's Thomas (Keyboard, composer, writer) who is the heart of the band and an extraordinary talent as well. Perhaps Genius with his compositions. I'm approaching 60 and this band not only refreshed my musical juices but it's a top 5 band for me that includes some very lofty names. Now I'm expanding to Epica and Floor's earlier bands and earlier Nightwish and Tarja's solo work... her dammed creepy Christmas song collection is is brilliant.

OK, I have a little bit of a sidetrack for you to look into. You look a lot like composer and keyboard player Tuomas's beautiful wife Johanna and the pair of them, along with Troy from Nightwish, formed a side project called Auri. Johanna provides her own stunning vocals, with all 3 of them contributing to the music. A very different sound to Nightwish, but absolutely gorgeous and well worth you checking out. Similar to Nightwish in one way though; pick any track because they are all fantastic.

Welcome to Nightwish World ! I discovered this band one year ago and now I never stop listening Nightwish! Ever Dream is my favorite song but every song is different, so feel free to react on every one :) !

Tuomas is as great a poet as he is a musician... the combination is magical once you add Floor

Floor’s talent has many sides, she crosses many genres but is a real metalhead at heart.

Hello again, Red. You can't go wrong working your way through Gabriel's list, although, as he commented, you can feel free to jump around. It's all good. Thank you for continuing to make your way down our Nightwish rabbit hole.

Same concert as you watched before, with Ghost Love Score. Just one of these songs is like a gym session and they go on for over an hour with the same energy.

You can listen to the entire 2013 Wacken performance without being disappointed. Memorable show. I especially recommend the songs where Floor duets with bassist Marco, who is an exceptional singer as well. Below you can see some performance with Tarja Turunen on vocals

Hi Red, yeah it’s me back again! What a joy to see you getting bamboozled by Nightwish - don’t worry you’ll get used to it; they’ve never ceased to amaze me! Tarja was good at operatic vocals, Annette was good at more jazzy/poppy vocals but Floor can do all of that and some! It’s probably best to stick with this concert to start with, maybe Phantom of the opera or Shoemaker next, or if you think you might be ready for something a bit heavier Romanticide. Can’t wait for your next one!

Great reaction..we have all been there with Nightwish discovery…I’m 72 and just discovered them a year ago and they are top of my bucket list to go from Canada to see them hopefully live in Finland when they decide to tour again 🤞🤞 I am excited for you just beginning this epic journey 👍

So happy that you're appreciating Nightwish ! They are truly unique ! If you'd like to listen to another epic song like " Ghost Love Score " try a recent live version of " The Greatest Show on Earth " and ...... be patient, it's 20 minutes long !!!!!!

I have the same feelings you do because this is only a few months old to me. The Nightwish phenomenon that is. Btw, your hair looks amazing 🤘🏻🔥💥🙏🏻💯

Yes impressive. Epicness right there on that stage. Two years ago I'd somehow not heard of Nightwish or Floor having been a lifelong Electric Light Orchestra fan since the mid 70s. A friend recommended that I watch and listen to "The Poet and the Pendulum" live from Wembley 2015, so I did, not expecting to like symphonic metal but I was gobsmacked. I had previously thought that I had heard it all but then Nightwish with Floor came along and turned my musical world upside down and inside out. Phenomenal band with all members masters of their craft fronted by the best vocalist that I have ever had the pleasure and privilege to see and hear. Thank you for a wonderful reaction. 🙏😊👍❤️

I have to process every song of theirs a hundred times or more and im still in awe. They are clever with lyrics, musicicianship and stage presence. They really are the whole package for me. 😊

Hey Redheadneighbour, you are so very right. Feeling the vibe, watching an video of almost 11 years ago. Have you ever experienced anything like this, before? I keep on repeating it as often as possible........ Nightwish are a group of magical, mesmerising, musical magicians. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 🤘🫡

:) so, welcome to our lines i really liked your reactions to Floor/Nightwish so far, and i can´t wait for you to react to the songs that were written with Floor in the band! yes, you just listened to songs that were NOT written with her as the main vocalist. Even in Wacken she was NOT a official member of the band ... "Shallow" - Lady Gaga Cover "Ghost Love Score" - album "Once" - 2004 - 1st main vocalist Tarja Turunen "Alone" - Heart Cover "Storytime" - album "Imaginaerum" - 2008 - 2nd vocalist Anette Olzon did i missed one ? =) now let´s listen to one song, written for / with Floor ... her first single with Nightwish was "Élan", so i ask for a reaction to Èlan , live version of course .. or maybe you want to meet the 6th official member of Nightwish, Troy ? than go to "i want my tears back" live Buenos Aires 2018 ! greetings from Germany, i subbed for your journey :)
