REACTING to NIGHTWISH (The Siren) 🌊🧜‍♀️🎶

[@Rafael-qi9bt]

Singing in an operatic style is a choice, not a limitation. Tarja knows how to sing in different styles.

[@andresweiland3714]

Tarja should made a new version of Innocence but changing the main title for "Ignorance". After 25 years of career there's still people thinking she sings like in 2005.

[@pete3198]

This is correct. If anybody wants to hear what Tarja sounds like when singing in a less operatic style just listen to "Feel for you" from Century Child or "White night Fantasy" from Once. They are two of the rare songs from theTarja era where she actually sang in a more contemporary style, and her voice sounds absolutely amazing.

[@damianvc31]

She IS The Siren, she's the only one that can sing this one Good to have you back!

[@Mr.Greeeeeen]

She is, for sure. 🥂👍

[@northof4912]

Nightwish brought me to Chase! Was watching someone react to Yours is an Empty Hope. There were comments about how fast the reactor noticed that Floor was growling. Then someone said “but no one has noticed as fast as Chase”. And I was like “who is Chase, I better look him up”. And discovered one of KZbin’s best, most humble, most knowledgeable and most enjoyable reactors!! Thanks Chase - don’t ever stop being you!!

[@Frightspear]

Couldn't have said it better! Thank you, Chase!

[@nimedhel09]

Ah yes, The Siren. One of my favourite of theirs, and Tarja's voice always gives me goosebumps on this one. I'd be interested to have you react to one of Tarja's original songs, and I'm pretty sure you'd love her cover of Supremacy (there's a live version that's just crazy). The things her voice do on this one... Yeaaaaaah...

[@vanessalore9942]

So lovely to see you do this one. There’s really precious few who do the Tarja Era. I love it all, but it’s just so nice to get some variety. This era is more than just Tarja. It has a different flavor. I don’t understand why people called her a Diva. On stage, she made way for everyone else, she sang the way Tuomas wanted her to sing. This is an exceptional concert even with all the drama. These are professionals, they give 💯 here as they do everywhere

[@kazfarah7623]

yes to everything ♥️

[@luxetveritas9196]

Yes yes yes ❤

[@gestalucas]

There were their masterpiece. Tarja did shine!

[@annituominen7220]

It really wasn't her being a diva, it was more about her husband and him making demands. The guys didn't care for Marcelo and him being her manager and being with them all the time. Right after she was kicked out they mentioned it few times in interviews that if it wasn't for him she might have stayed, they liked her just fine on her own

[@Ozzy_2014]

@@annituominen7220 not standing up for herself. Being to polite to confront them sure would be easier on them. But Tarja had reasonable requests and boundaries.

[@dennisweifenbach2647]

Oh, Marko please come back! Nightwish needs you, I need you, we all need you. I had not heard this masterpiece before, till I saw Tarja and I thought this was a great new song. I have not been much a fan of Tarja, I am not an opera lover at all, but this song has given me a new appreciation for her. This song is wonderful.

[@michaellein2389]

A good mix of metal and symphonic would also be Gethsemane by Nightwish, a more than underrated song. The song would surprise you in more ways than one.

[@hedwig8007]

I concur!

[@johanstenborg1465]

Absolutely. It was actually the first Nightwish song I ever heard, more than 20 years ago. Still love that song.

[@irenevanderstaak5178]

I concur!

[@kurtfrazier526]

I concur

[@OJB42]

Yeah, it's an excellent song; one of my favourites.

[@Piia2023]

Listen to the lyrics she is singing....playing violin for the seals, Tuomas did read in a newspaper of a woman in Scotland going down to the shore and playing the violin for the seals that came to listen to her playing, that gave him the idea to this song. I just love to read the back stories to his songwriting.

[@phoenixaki3458]

I actually jaw-dropped when I saw this in my subscription box for premiere...The Siren was one of the first songs I heard and knew of NW after Ghost Love Score and it has a HUGE place in my heart nostalgically, and it holds up VERY well musically. Very unique vocal style from Tarja in the bridge as well to look forward to your reaction to 👀

[@oh_hey_its_b]

Same! Right after GLS I heard this gem. Definitely gives all the nostalgic feels.

[@bridgetmccracken1381]

She becomes the siren calling those to their deaths with that rich dark vocals, this song fit her like a glove and adding Marko's rough vocals simply made this magical

[@analogpark8059]

This was my favorite track on 'Once' back when it came out. Took my breath away immediately. I love Floor and generally support everything the band does, but Tuomas's songwriting just hit differently for me back in the Tarja days.

[@pete3198]

I agree. I think this songwriting and composing was much most creative and expressive in the Tarja era, followed by the Anette era, and then finally the Floor era. They still make great music today, but it just doens't feel quite as characterful and passionate as it did up to and including Dark Passion Play.

[@mouhssineasmer3673]

Passion and the Opera is going to blow your mind

[@Akkarin1994]

What always blows my mind about these live performances (from the End of an Era DVD/show) is that they were the last time Nightwish and Tarja played together. This show was truly a worthy end of an era.

[@chilly2go]

Chase, you always have something intelligent and interesting to add in your videos. But this reaction stood out to me in how joyful, excited, and in awe you were doing this. Thanks for getting back to Nightwish!

[@ChaseCarneson]

Appreciate the kind words. Really loved this one. Special moment for me

[@AllieB-11.11]

It's the one about Odysseus and the sirens! This really suits Tarja's voice.

[@lynnlutz5737]

I read somewhere that Marko said the Siren was his favorite song to play live back in the day. In another live recording Tuomus adds a prominent violin part to the Siren that is tasty.

[@AkelasanAK]

..... thanks for The Siren ....for Tarya .... .... thank you for lighting up more smiles with your smile ...

[@mattihopiavuori353]

Chase!! You are one of the GREATEST wrt analyzing, understanding, explaining the complex nuances of musical journeys, capturing/expressing the exceptional artists/bands! Your appreciation and justified praise for Nightwish is brilliant 💙🇫🇮

[@nikindd]

So much nostalgia, one of my favs. Tuomas always slay the songs with some arabic/middle east melodies. The pharaoh sails to orion, the siren, sahara, arabesque. It gives the kind of mysterious aura.

[@reinimi]

Hey Chase! I discovered Nightwish with you a couple of years ago. That changed my (musical) world and brought immense joy and emotions to me during the pandemic. Now I can discover this song with you as I haven’t heard of it before. I am as nostalgic about this as you are. There’s a tear of joy in my eye. Thank you!

[@r.e.4640]

All hale the REAL TRUE QUEEN 👑 of Nightwish and of ALL FEMALE SYMPHONIC METAL SINGERS!!!!!!!, the very beautiful looking and very unique voice of the enchanting TARJA!!!!!!!!😀👍👍👍👍🤘

[@duizeltjeeekhoorn6890]

Thank you for another Great reaction. Whenever I look at this concert I always notice the boys having a hard time. ( we all know why) Still I get the feeling they really were trying to give Tarja an amazing send of. I do see a lot of love for her in this concert. This song and Sleeping sun are my favourites.

[@annukkas]

Yes!! It's great that you've come back to Nightwish - at least for this one song. I've actually wanted you to react to The Siren for a long time, as well a few others. Thanks. 😊

[@briankelman2325]

'Sleeping Sun' came after.....check it out. I recommend some of her solo career....her vocals have actually gotten better since 'End of An Era'.

[@ramonismaelgomez3101]

La energía que tenía esa canción junto a Tarja era única. Hermosa reacción. Muchas gracias 🤗 Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷

[@omeshsingh8091]

I love this song so much. This is essential Nightwish, with every member of the band having their moment to shine without overstepping. It's like watching a relay race where every baton-switch is beautifully executed. The Siren's voice lures the sailor and then in the keyboard solo we hear a snake-charmer tune (perhaps alluding to the enchantment) and then Tarja's in-character decision to break-character (the unnerving "yelp" at the end of her second siren call) foreshadows that she is not as alluring as she advertises... And then ultimately the song disappears into the waves which then subside. Marko's delivery of the final line is possibly my favorite line I've heard him sing. It's so haunting. You should also check out Tarja and Marko singing "The Phantom of the Opera" also on the "End of an Era" DVD. That song obviously switches the antagonist/protagonist character dynamic between the two sings. I might be biased, but I consider one of the greatest live performances of all time: a must-see.

[@ev-1832]

Great to see you back with Nightwish. Is your neck giving you problems after the concert :) Marko raises a smile. Tuomas said recently "Music is the sound of emotions".

[@PatitoCM1]

You make me happy analizing this .... much love and respect for Floor but Tarja is the reason I fell in love with symphonic metal .. please give a look at her solo career... she is so amazing. Thanks again for coming back to Nightwish.

[@Sarcasticron]

Chase, I remember at the end of your last Epica video, you said you hadn't done Nightwish in a while because you wanted to find a way to add value to the Nightwish reaction space. I wanted to say in response (only getting around to it now) that I wish there were more reactions to the early stuff with Tarja because this is where Nightwish started and IMO where symphonic metal as a genre started as well. And it has to be the versions with Tarja, because Floor is unable or unwilling to sing these songs in the operatic style that they were written to go with. So thanks for this. 😊

[@cjbrett89]

Man this song and performance are so special. Awesome reaction as usual. I'll always say if you want Tarja at her absolute best you should check out Beauty of the Beast (note: OF). One of the greatest Nightwish epic's and sadly one of their most underrated and overlooked songs.

[@PaulOutdoors]

Chase, my Nightwish and Floor journey only started 6 months or so ago after a work colleague kept pushing me to check them out as I'd never heard of them before so reluctantly I did as metal/symphonic metal wasn't a genre that I thought I would enjoy (the Electric Light Orchestra - E.L.O being my lifelong favourites. Please give them a listen... "Tightrope" is one of many gems) but OMG I was blown away after watching and listening to "Poet and the Pendulum" live with Floor from Wacken 2013. Since then I haven't surfaced from down the rabbit hole busily soaking up everything from the Tarja and Annette eras and now Floor. You Chase have been a big part of my fledgling Nightwish journey having watched and listened to your solo Nightwish reactions and those that you have shared with Julia. Bless you both. You have opened up my ears to music more fully and I now "listen" to "feel" and appreciate music and all the components and nuances like never before during my 55 years here on Earth, and for that I cannot thank you enough. Thank you. Paul 👍😊

[@markclements7767]

A brilliant reaction Chase, thank you. Ignore the haters and negative ones, it is obvious that you have pure motives and love this band as we all do. You have the heartfelt thanks of a member of the Nightwish Army (UK) 🙂

[@Sarcasticron]

"He's like a blanket or a duvet and she's like an undersheet that's stretched over everything and provides a layer of protection for his vocals." Another one for the quote archive. 😁

[@PaulBosenJr]

One of my Favorites from the Tarja Era and one of the few I feel is for her alone to sing.

[@ValtteL]

Chase, you should definetely take deep dive to Tarja era. In my humble opinion it deserves much much more appreciation. Usually it's just a lazy "she's more operatic" (well, no shit sherlock) and comparisons to Floor. When this era happened, there was no comparison to anyone. Nightwish Arena channel has a ton of Tarja era material which are remastered. Walking in the Air - From Wishes To Eternity Bless the Child - End of An Era

[@AkelasanAK]

....yes, please ....

[@chrisblinman9150]

I concur, I'm a massive fan of Floor Jansen but Tarja was a massive part of who Nightwish were and what they have become. I don't agree with her choices but it ultimately led to Floor joining the band and that completed Nightwish for me.

[@PatitoCM1]

I concur!!!!!! Strongly 🖤🤘🏻

[@bridgetmccracken1381]

100% agree

[@simonelanger6563]

Absolutely!

[@seetaami5810]

That wicked keyboard riff in 11:37 quotes the main riff from the song 'Better Unborn' by the legendary Finnish band Amorphis from their 1996 album Elegy (the lyrics of which are based on a compilation of ancient lyrical poems called Kanteletar published in the mid-to-late 1800s, a sister-publication to the more epically oriented Kalevala compilation). Elegy is a damn great prog folk metal album. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4aVoKmqorFqkM0

[@Alex-gn1ws]

I want to just say this: I am very, very happy with this video you just posed. You are one of the VERY few reactors that openly and whole-heartedly (and most importantly, sincerely) mentioned what impact Nightwish had for your channel and I fully respect and admire the way you mentioned that and your attitude towards it. I am also pretty sure that you only one who has been this open with sharing, in quite some detail, what personal impact Nightwish had on your personal life. Not that your place in the Nightwish Army was ever in any kind of doubt, from the moment you "joined the ranks", but with this... it is a demonstration of how ironclad your place within this amazing Community is and will remain, I am sure. I'm proud to be in the same Community with you man!🤘 All the best to you! (and of course, I am waiting for the next Nightwish reaction XD )

[@elism.7049]

lol when he hugs himself on the first chorus, I feel you bro!

[@gonzaloponti5769]

Been a fan of Nightwish for 22 years now. And Will for ever be. No matter the lineup. And follow you since you drop the first Nightwish reaction and you were important during the pandemic, at least for me. I'm happy to see you well. Cheers from Capilla del señor, Argentina.

[@nightmary]

I was so excited to see another Nightwish reaction from you. I discovered the band before I discovered you and have loved them from the first listen. But you gave me a much deeper appreciation for why they capture people's hearts than I would have had just listening on my own. Thank you so much for that. I would love to see you react to two other songs from this concert (OK, all of them, but these two first) - Phantom of the Opera and High Hopes. Phantom is so quintessentially Tarja and Marko, and High Hopes is an absolute masterpiece (David Gilmour linked to it on his social media). Love to hear how Nightwish has affected your life. From the first time I heard them, I've been obsessed. They are magical. Ignore the haters. They have to have something to hate, so I'm sure the very same people are spreading the hate on other channels as well. Too bad they've missed the message from Nightwish - how's the heart.

[@TheSilentScreamX]

So great to see Nightwish back. I really hope you'll get to Phantom of the Opera with Tarja, as it's one of my all-time favourite Nightwish performances and I was disappointed that you never got around to it back when you were on your big Nightwish kick. Also High Hopes, because in my opinion it's Marko's best performance and not many bands could do a Pink Floyd cover and actually do it better than Pink Floyd.

[@laudatosiadastra1218]

Amazing song and performance 😊✨ I love that you said Nightwish is special to you. Man, the moments I have had enjoying Nightwish I hold close to my heart. It’s more than music , it’s a deeply spiritual experience. Always enjoy your reactions 🤘

[@tuuli4002]

May I do a recommendation? I have not seen you do a reaction to Tarja's solo career. She has an amazing solo career. She is also great song writer. Also in her solo career she uses more her chest voice and I just love those moments. Her voice is just so incredible dark even though she can get up to those high notes. So anyway I recommend to you her live performance from Woodstock and the song Victim of Ritual. Also another good song is Dead Promises. And thanks for the reaction. It was one of the best Siren reaction😁👍

[@kitiofthewilds7848]

I’m so excited you’re reacting to this song Chase! Great to see you back on Nightwish 🤘🏻 I would so love to see you react to Nightwish’s song Last of the Wilds from Wacken 2013, would really be interesting to hear your input and thoughts on that instrumental masterpiece!

[@ChaseCarneson]

Aaah thank you. Yeah, was a pretty great experience to go back to Nightwish and looking forward to more for sure

[@Susirajantakaa]

@@ChaseCarneson And if you do the instrumental version of Last Of The Wilds, check afterwards version with lyrics. It is sung in Finnish, but there is a fan made video with Finnish lyrics and English translation on screen.

[@thomasschmidt1836]

[@sharina-musicfiend]

Wonderful to see you Chase, and looking so happy. It made me smile as well to see you having such an emotional reaction with listening to Nightwish and I thoroughly enjoy this song. Every member of the band really shines and it tells the story of a Siren so well with the music, lyrics and visuals - so impactful.

[@maggie_galle7651]

this song gets overlooked SO often! so happy you did this one Chase! this is definitely one of Tarja's songs.... and glad you enjoyed it just as much as i do 🤘🤘 and yes, you did a great job, nothing to worry about ;) we know how much you love Nightish, and it shows. people who can't see that, those are the ones who have a problem, not you ♥

Dude, I think you have done a wonderful job reacting to Nightwish. You are among my top 3 Nightwish reactors and I’ve seen A LOT. You should definitely keep going, cause there a still so many songs to hear. Maybe some of the studio versions of songs you already have heard live? Keep doing what you do, cause you do it well.

[@biffm.2806]

Yes! I’m so glad you did this song. I’ve been a Nightwish fan for a couple of years, but just recently discovered this song. It quickly became one of my favorites. Chase, love your reactions! They help me appreciate the songs so much more.

[@karomou]

I've missed the premiere, but here I am, a month later, reacting to your reaction. I don't use to comment on KZbin videos, but I follow you since the beginning and I started doing that because of your reactions to Nightwish. You're always have been my favorite youtube reactor, you explain the technical parts of the music and I love that, but in this video I saw you reacting not only with your "musician ears" but with your heart - and it touched my heart here in Brazil, across the sea. Thank you, Chase! It's a pleasure follow you through these years. Keep listening to old Nightwish songs that I'll always be here, being a silent follower (but liking all the videos). ☺

[@ChaseCarneson]

This means the world. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I’m so grateful for the support and the kindness. I’m not going anywhere and Nightwish will always have a home on this channel.

[@danielkumar5376]

I seem to remember her talking about the vocals on this song and referencing throat singing - it's one of my favourites of hers. Also you're right about it leading into a really bombastic song on the album - Dead Gardens, another interesting song for the band imo.

[@lea-anne9133]

As for lineups. They have excelled in every vocal era and i applaud them and love them for that. I'm on that journey with them wherever it takes them🤍💯

[@kazfarah7623]

Tarja is much more versatile when she wants to be than people realise🌹 no one like her! :) Glad to see you back with Nightwish!

[@mantailuaa]

Welcome back with Nightwish always a pleasure to watch and listen to your reactions. 🫶🏼

[@elvwood]

Lovely to see your expressions listening to this! One thing I like about this performance over the studio version is how Marco is higher in the mix, which means the contrast between Tarja's extra-ethereal performance and his driving, gritty one is even more effective (we know he can do smooth so this is a definite choice). On _Once_ this is followed by Dead Gardens, a heavy guitar-centric song, which I think works well as a contrast (though it's not one of my favourites from the album). I don't have End of an Era, but apparently this was followed by Sleeping Sun, which is a fantastic performance but not so much a contrast (at least in mood, the tempo's different). Hmm, I must watch EoaE in order someday...

[@Sarcasticron]

Yes, Sleeping Sun is a sleepy ballad.

[@magicmicah27]

YES, one of my fave nightwish songs. cant wait to hear your insights chase 😁

[@johannessilver8653]

Who tied Marco's hands to the wheel...Sirens do call come to me. Odyssy had difficulties to resist that call. Just brilliant from Tuomas again.

[@Green-Lyon]

Great job as always. This is one of those heavenly Nightwish deep cuts that I absolutely adore. I can't help thinking of the late great John Lord when I hear Tuomas playing that organ patch in the middle.

[@aelastornino]

You have a new subscriber, Chase! Nightwish is one of my favorite bands, and I'm loving your reactions to their awesomeness! ❤ Hope to see you reacting to HIGH HOPES one day! It's from the End of an Era concert, and it's freaking epic! ❤

[@hoges412]

Just wonderful Chase, thank you. 🤗 From the moment many years ago when I stumbled upon a Nightwish track on You Tube (before reaction channels became a "thing") I was hooked, and End of an Era was my first Nightwish DVD purchase. I can actually say that this band rekindled my waning interest in popular music. Nightwish led me to Epica and Within Temptation (and more recently, Mono Inc from Germany). And my pursuit of all things Nightwish led me to your channel, where in turn you have introduced me to some other wonderful musicians such as Band Maid. It does feel like a journey, and we enjoy travelling with you. Cheers mate.

[@ryanbiks5386]

This was such a treat to see, man. Back in the day, I was able to watch every new video you put out -- but as you know, eventually the tedium of life interferes, and good things and bad things alike consume your time. Just as you saw difficulties and new joys arise, so did I, and I drifted off to other pastures for a while. But, I suppose the KZbin algorithm knew what's up this time, because in the minimal free time I have, I saw this video pop up, and clicked without hesitation. Chase doing Nightwish again?! No way! (Not that your other reactions are worse, ofc.) I'm just glad to see you're well as circumstances permit, enjoying what the world has brought your way in the interim, no doubt as a result of your hard work, and revisiting an old favorite. As you said in the reaction, "It's good to be back, old friend." That's how I felt having the opportunity to see you react again ^_^

[@shirovag]

Aaaw man, first of all seeing you react is a blessing, but seeing you react to Nightwish of all things is GODDAMN nostalgic. For some reason, this song reminds me me of Sahara from the Dark Passion Play Album 🤔

[@windsongshf]

When I heard the recording of this, I immediately thought of Bear McCreary's score for the Battlestar Galactica reboot. Especially the (I think) the electric violin which in this performance Tuomas is playing the part on keyboard. At first I thought Tuomas was a Battlestar fan, however, Once came out a year before season two where Bear really took over the music and I'm thinking he was heavily influences by this piece of music! ❤

[@1982jeepcj8]

I am SOOOOooooo Happy to see you are back, and you are back on Nightwish, May I suggest that You go through This concert, slowly, methodically, most reactors skip through Most of the songs with the exception being the Pink Floyd tribute (high Hopes) I personally think it was one of Nightwishes BEST concerts, my feeling is they tried to set the drama aside and put out their best performance ever, as I don't think they knew if there would be another afterwards, they put out their best effort and I can't think of to many other than YOU Chase, that would be great tour guide experiencing it,

[@Silkki6]

Dude, you are as genuine as a man can get and you provide much more content in the first minute than many other "reactors" in their whole reaction. People will always critisize you no matter what you do. I might be repeating myself, but you really are a good dude, keep on being you! Thank you for all the reactions!

Hi Chase. Great to see you again my friend. Hope you are doing great! On your way to 75K. Phantom of the Opera preceded this one and it was actually follow up by Sleeping Sun. They kept it mysterious and soft for 2 songs. Then Marko took the lead for "High Hopes". Ignore the haters Chase. We can all see the passion in your soul. It is written on your face. I love you reactions and musical commentary. Unique and special like Nightwish. Peace. Have a Damn Good Day!

So Thanks and once again good to see you back!

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

Nightwish gave a lot to me, too. I was working a few hours a week in a specialized pawn shop that had ad-free Pandora Radio. I had a Nightwish channel on there, and they played Lindsey Stirling. That was my first exposure to her and I still listen to her to this day. When my father passed away, I was listening to Nightwish on KZbin and a group called BAND-MAID started being recommended to me. Finding BAND-MAID has opened up a whole new world of music for me as B-M acted as a gateway to a lot of new groups and artists from Japan and beyond, not to mention how it helped me grieve.

Thumbs up for Chase! I know your style will change over time - it's inevitable, it should, growth / change is generally good - but It's just so comfortable, like hanging out with an old friend. And after all the videos of yours I've watched, across bands I adore and bands I frankly despise, even on songs I've heard hundreds of times, you still can make me go, 'Oh yeah, I didn't notice that before.' I appreciate that. Hope life is treating you well, Chase. Hey, that section where Tarja's voice startled. I've heard this song a ton, but never knew that was her singing it, I just assumed it was someone else. I'd compare it to the parts from the soundtrack of the recent DUNE movie.

first two rare gems: 1:Swanheart and 2: Two of tragedy. Then 3: Deep silent complete and of course 4: Come cover me. always have been Tarja's songs.

How i missed your nightwish reactions! Love to hear someone musicsavy put words on why this is awesome. Love to see you back on the nightwishtrain! 🤘🤗

Such a great non-trivial reaction video. There is a reason you've been one of my favourites since I first stumbled upon your channe a couple of years ago, and that reason is pretty much you and your way of doing what you do. So, keep up the great work, and don't let any 'armies' bully you into following some pre-laden path. Some of us want to explore music with you, not necessarily see you react to all the songs that everybody else has been pushed to react to. And this comes from a Finn. Cheers, Chase.
