REACTION To NIGHTWISH (Ever Dream) 🎹🎤❤️

[@kuroyuki6254]

I love the way you go still when Marco comes in. A 54 year old viking is capable of captivating all of our hearts with just one line.

[@PhilH919]

You may like to try "Ghost River". It shows great interaction between Floor and Marco. It rocks.

[@seannightingale3571]

Floor and Marco sound amazing in Ghost River.

[@Leishtek]

Great song.

[@Pitchblackbones]

Oh jesus, ghost river, I nearly forgot about it! SUCH a great song. And that album is so theatrical and rooted in storytelling, Chase will love it, I'm sure!

[@danielberger1378]

Agreed

[@jaromirkven]

Ghost River it shall be !

[@fabiolavieira4571]

I cannot believe you can pick up on so many details while listening for the first time. Amazing job!

[@Ilionej]

Well, this is where you can tell he IS a professional AND devoted musician with well functioning ears and synapses. ;)

[@rb-wtf5111]

I thought the same,maybe i'm deaf😉

[@Songfugel]

Exactly, I have heard these songs a million times and really pay attention to Tuomas's tricks. Yet he still manages to hear stuff I never noticed in the background, and on the first listen xD

[@RonjaundFee]

Best commented reactions on nightwish Songs i Think. All the Infos are so great

[@zoeystar4668]

Absolutely. I wish Nightwish band members would check out Chase's analysis. They themselves would be equally impressed.

[@blackmyth]

After my grandmother passing away yesterday, I started rewatching all your Nightwish reactions. It brings me happiness even in these sad times. Thank you.

[@ChaseCarneson]

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Glad these videos give you some distraction and happiness. Sending love and good vibes your way.

[@blackmyth]

@@ChaseCarneson Thanks, it means a lot.

[@trshbrnr1]

The final minute is like a tsunami, hurricane and a thunderstorm combined washing over you in an epic sonic wave.

[@ChrisPage68]

I'm surprised there isn't an actual sonic boom when she soars after the key change. 😱

[@kpsmorera]

I once read something that describes the feeling perfectly: “It’s like honey being poured over a thunder...”

[@Leishtek]

Appropriate comment and simile because that's literally what's happening on the screens in the back.

[@MatsGarage]

"You need to stop talking" said none of us viewers, ever. Thank you for another great song review. 👌

[@snowdoll3778]

Lots of reactors i wish would not talk so much... but i can listen to Chase all day. Or at least about 20 minutes EVERY day. :D

[@danielgarri30]

Is always nice to come back here

[@ChaseCarneson]

It’s always nice to have you back here.

[@zzaradina]

Emppu (the guitarist) has said that this is his favourite solo to play live! Such a gorgeous song.

[@derrickowen8162]

Marco's vocal entrance on this song gets me every time.

[@jeffwolinski2659]

Yep! It's kicking ass already, then just goes nuclear when Marko comes in!

[@fjnw]

This could easily be one of Nightwish's best concerts. Each song in itself is worthwhile reacting to. BTW, you did Romanticide, Song of myself and Storytime from this same concert. Love the detail and depth of your analyses.

[@TerribleChester]

It's the best single concert by any band I've ever seen. If there was ever a band that had a better night than this I'd love to see it.

[@kane2505]

Plz do exakt these songs! Plz

[@Honken55]

@@TerribleChester Pulse with Pink Floyd comes close atleast. Scenes from Memory NY with Dream Theater also

[@damienmaynard8892]

Emppu is the master of the effective, not understated, not inappropriately wild.... "Goldilocks zone"!..........I knew the double kick would get you!!!! The entire Wacken show is amazing! Not a single bad song in the discography...... Thank you!

[@lowroar5127]

Simply put, Ever Dream is one of their best songs. So emotional and powerful!

[@Mind-your-own-beeswax]

I was waiting for the double kick drum to come in and waiting for your expression 😂😂. You didn’t disappoint man

[@notquitemytempo1353]

One of the very few reaction channels that actually pays attention to the music and notices among other things what the drummers and bassists do. Most other ones just seem focused on the vocals and most of the rest gets past them.

[@Mind-your-own-beeswax]

Not quite my tempo absolutely correct man.

[@Cerrydwenn]

This was the first Nightwish song i ever heard. Century Child had just been released, i was a 13yr old listenening to regular pop music like anyone else 'normal' my age. Thank you Nightwish for making me discover the world of metal

[@aleksi5150]

Definitely "The Phantom of the opera" live End of an era concert, sick singing by Tarja and Marco. You will be blown away.

[@MarjattaJewelry]

Surprised by the lack of reaction to this performance

[@damienjohnson4004]

The success of Ever Dream is to express pop sensibilities with the tools of metal: the sweet-but-plaintive guitar solo (which IIRC Emppu said is the one he's proudest of), the double kick drum to emphasize/glorify the final key-changed repeat of the chorus. This is the song that got my mom into metal. Now she listens to Volbeat while gardening.

[@TheDoctorIWho]

In the last part when you stopped and explained the building of intensitiy and the kick ass drums. In the original version Marco supported Tarja in singing and Floor creates the effect of building and building on her own. And this makes exectly this moment so exceptional.

[@tiinapoyhonen7555]

I just have to comment that it has been more than "pleasant" to watch you watch these Nightwish shows. You try to keep calm and stoic and then just can't help but smile and get excited over them. 😊 Thank you for sharing all the details for us common folks that appreciate Nightwish but don't have the professional wording to explain or understand all the geniusness of them. Pure joy these are!

[@nickwolfrider7177]

you sir must be declared as a honnorable member in every Nightwish blog!

[@gregzerby7168]

THAT'S a MULTIPLE floorgasm

[@ronl8495]

Floor has said in the past that Ever Dream is her most difficult song to sing because of all the prolonged belts, damn I love this woman! ❤

[@Ayerstairs]

Love the building roar of the audience right before Jukka's double-kick at the end.

[@burake.2440]

The energy in this one is just insane.

[@seannightingale3571]

The Lord looked down from the heavens and spoke these words to the Nightwish Army. I have blessed you on this day of 02/21/1981 an Angel of Metal and her name is Floor Jansen.

[@BudhagRizzo]

And that's why Floor is a world treasure.

[@EkawarGehuara]

your obvious and highly visible enjoyment as you listen and react to these songs just makes a long time Nightwish army member like me so happy

[@josteingravvik2381]

Great work again Chase ! This is the song, at least I feel that, where Floor can use her strongest qualities as a singer ! You pointed thoses out at the end, those high notes under full power and full controll are simply Epic !!

[@thadeaquintmaus3763]

Nightwish are just the best. Your reactions are highly professional but don't lack emotions. What you say is brilliant and straight to the point, and what your face shows is just so much to enjoy. I really really love your amazing reactions to this outstanding music. Keep on going, huge fan here. ❤️

[@katalinangyal6829]

I'm so in love with your reactions. I love the interest in your eyes,and on your face. That would be I think the point of this kind of videomaking .And also it's very cool that you always tell us your opinion, about the music,and what they do. I'm fan of this band since 2004 ,and there are things what I've never noticed in there music,then you came. Thanks for that :)

[@gayleeidson6724]

Thanks for your channel and for the Respect to how much WE ALL LOVE ❤️ the Nightwish experience !!! Another awesome reaction 👌😁 !!! Much love and appreciation for your excellent, expert, and exciting 😊❤️ explanations !

this is such a good choice. a lovely ballad gets crazy towards the end

[@5Favoriter]

Phantom of the Opera with Tarja is an absolute must. It is really fantastic.

[@PhilH919]

Should have said "Ghost River" Wacken 2013. Point of interest, At the Wacken concert you can tell if the songs are early or late in the set as Floor changes from trousers to skirt for the second half.

[@jjs9672]

No complaints about that change

[@roy19491]

she changed during "Last of the Wilds"

[@larryratterree6358]

They all just do enough to do the best sound possible!

[@gregs_music_corner]

Yeah, that was a good choice.. Especially after the poet and pendulum. I'll just say this about floor: Most vocalists, me included, sing what we can. Floor, she sings what she wants.

[@kdkttn19]

Oh your face! It's really showing now how much fun you're having when just letting the music sink in. ❤️

[@damonbryan7232]

Nightwish can do a "normal" metal song. An then take it to the next level. An make it epic. That's why they sell out wherever they go. Tuomas could write the phone book. An find a way to make it sound epic. As far as listening to Tarja. My heart has to say. Phantom of the Opera. That's the song that introduced me to NIGHTWISH in 04. Been a fan ever since.

[@Pitchblackbones]

The song that got me hooked into nightwish with Tarja was Wish I Had An Angel, I would check out the album version. I prefer the album over her live performance, but that's my personal preference. Floor naturally does a killer job when she does wish I had an angel as well, but I get why you'd want to check out the other singers as well.

[@Crushonius]

probably the most epic songs by tarja are wishmaster and stargazers

[@nicod1361]

Floor's Beste Zangers 2019 Phantom much preferred very impactful

[@bevbash68]

Love your facial expressions you don't have to speak! you've got real 'Charlie Chaplin' - no words needed face and eyes, very expressive ...well done, great reaction x

[@badmotherrucker]

I love it when new Nightwish fans suddenly discover Marco can sing, and a new door opens up. Kind of like someone seeing Prince play a guitar on par with the best guitarists in rock.

[@arianealexandre9038]

So much fun watching you having a Floorgasm, so cute. Thank you for your work on all these songs that we love so much! This one was an old one written for Tarja's voice and register.

[@everett880]

Can we take a minute and discuss about Marco's Viking-style beard?

[@MissIssay]

It's so epic, it doesn't require any discussion x)

[@everett880]

Iconic!

[@micheltibon8872]

Your deconstructing the songs is why I always come to your channel. It is so enjoyable.

[@jackstorm5649]

For Tarja I would go with the End of an Era show "Wish I Had An Angel", "Over the Hills & Far Away", "Phantom of the Opera", "Sleeping Sun" would all be good ones to check out.

[@QazwerDave]

My favourite complete live show ever ! Planet Hell, Creek Mary's Blood would be my recommendations !

[@marcmorton1439]

If you are going to do "Over the Hills & Far Away". You should do it to the music video they made for it. Everyone looks so young in it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaiodWd5aqt9q9E

[@UnitedRedDevils]

Tarjas version of Nemo is awesome as well

[@luisnunes2010]

Exactly right!

[@anssia3123]

My suggestion from Tarja is Swanheart (From Wishes to Eternity DVD). Magical!

[@bertbouwhuis]

Dude, you are the undisputed champ of dissection and detailed explanation. A joy to listen to!! Keep it up!

Much appreciated! Thank you for that.

[@aura5572]

[@ChaseCarneson]

Can't help myself, they're too good.

[@yunietpiloto4425]

Another great reaction to another great song!...keep em coming!

[@Thorgrim247]

This is one of Nightwish's earlier hit songs. Those ending chorus's are just breathtakingly powerful. For the most part a straight forward commercially oriented song with a great song structure. If you are interested you should listen to Tarja perform this song (original singer) to see how Floor has modified it to make it her own and also in my opinion make it much more impactful. I love Tarja's version, but Floor adds a heavier belting quality to everything she does from the older songs. Great job once again Chase! Love your attention to the musical nuances.

[@chasingbirds3073]

You and The Charismatic Voice are the best reactors out there. Really nice job.

[@jameswbster]

This popped up on my feed today, and I figured that yes, I do need some Chase and Nightwish in my Thursday. I can't believe it's almost been a year since you started down the rabbit hole :)

Great Floorgasm and reaction again! Echoing my sentiments.

We all agree Floor looks stunning, whoever did styling for her did a magnificent job, but how badass Marco looks singing with guitar and fire behind him?

[@maxviking3210]

It’s ot only a reaction. Your ability to analyse the music is wonderful. Not a musician myself I can only hear that I love their music but you make me understand why I love it and thats why I also love your reactions.

[@mazfaerie2852]

I just love watching you! I have no more to say

[@Harbinger_ua]

Omg finally someone noticed and appreciated double kick in the last two choruses. In my opinion it's the best part of the song perfectly culminating the build up through the whole piece.

[@paulroberts1167]

I love watching someone's reaction to nightwish, esp floor, when I know what's coming...and I loved your reaction AND your analysis. Great vid. 😎😎👍👍🤘🤘

[@syyneater]

Your attention to detail, and the way you explain what you’re hearing in the songs structure, is exceptionally good. The Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean, from their show in Rio, is another excellent example of Marco and Floor playing off each other. A few Floor specific suggestions, would be from her appearance on Beste Zangers. Her ability to taking a song, making it her own and staying true to the feel of the original, is impressive.

[@trshbrnr1]

I have been waiting for this reaction for a long long time. Thank you for the time and effort.

[@AnOldGreyDog]

You can tell it's Wacken 2013 if Floor doesn't have any tattoos...

[@quitscheente95]

Except the one on her right wrist ;) but yes, the beautiful arm tattoos only came later😍

[@marcusone11]

Once again it's the look of sheer delight on your face that's worth the price of admission, let alone the analysis. And yes Ghost river and Dead boys poem please.

[@unwissend83]

Such a great song and a nice reaction from you, thumbs up. Nightwish with Tarja: End of an Era concert: - Sleeping Sun - Nemo - Phantom of the Opera - or all from that concert ;) Nightwish with Floor: Wacken 2013 concert: - every song you didn't react to yet ;) One song with Marko - End of an Era - High Hopes(Pink Floyd cover)

[@jasminwolf7412]

Best vocalist EVER! 🤘🏼😍

[@UnitedRedDevils]

Man this song gets me hyped!!! Another brilliant and entertaining breakdown brother. I think I can safely say that your observations, especially pertaining to the musicality, are not obvious to most of us out here. I definitely appreciate your keen ear and explanation of all the subtleties, really makes your reactions fun to watch:) Ghost River from same concert is sick, more from Marko in that one. Tarjas version of Nemo is beautiful. Have a good weekend Chase and all

[@crystalrainfeather]

Chase - You continue to impress... No matter how many times I've heard a song, when you point out all the 'small' details and layers it's like I'm hearing it for the first time. It's amazing how much you pick up on and how educated you are in all aspects of instruments and songs. Thanks for another great reaction & analysis. :)

[@Cartis88]

Sleeping Sun with Tarja is beautiful, do that one please.

[@HaayNL]

Great way to wake up this Sunday morning and find a new Nightwish reaction video from you, Chase. Really enjoyed your analysis as always and shared the Floorgasm together with you while listening! 😁

[@purpleir]

Another awesome Nightwish reaction! Thank you Chase, you really made my day and it has been a shitty one so far. Thank you! It is a Nightwish Army favourite this one. More on their mainstream side but beautifully made nonetheless! Very impactful! Please more more more! A great one is " Ghost river " from the Wacken 2013 concert! If you want something with Tarya "Phantom of the opera" live from the "end of an era" tour is a good place to start (last concert before that infamous open letter). Or "Over the hills". Enjoy ☺

Fantastic review! every time you do a Nightwish song I learn something new and I've heard these songs 100's of times. I love this song so much, and Floor just absolutely crushes the ending, So much power, and so much skill to control and manipulate that power. She is unmatched.

[@flavio_spqr]

I'm gonna ask "Last Ride of the Day", also from Wacken. It's the last song of the show.

[@k.l.7788]

[@soupdragonuk]

I so look forward to your videos Chase. The way you deconstruct the song is so interesting. But the ending of ED is stunning, Jukka's double-kick power and pace is blistering. Cannot wait for your take on Greatest Show. Keep up the good work Chase.

[@aperson9847]

those "so epic it hurts" faces at the end there, me too man 😂

[@SandraNelson063]

Gotta be my fave Nightwish song. Love it! It's full of so much longing and loss. Ain't she a festival in and of herself?

[@Leviscus]

For Tarja, as others have said "phantom of the opera" from end of an era, and for me personally actually Ever Dream from the same show. They perform it a tad differently than they do here with Marko doing more harmonization during the last section of chorus. Get goosebumps just thinking about it.

[@garywillingham3644]

I have been listening for a while trying to digest it all My first on this song Excellent reaction another great great song by NW and a very great reaction you certainly caught a lot

[@marionblo]

Love your reactions! If you want to do some with Tarja, pick "Wishmaster" or "Phantom of the opera" from End of an era. With Floor: "Ghost river" also from Wacken 2013, "Weak fantasy" from Tampere. And "High hopes" is also from End of an era. The Pink Floyd tribute with Marco singing!

John Shanks I know I was joking

[@billhooks69]

Yet another great reaction to a Nightwish song. One of my favorite songs of theirs with multiple floorgasms to be had :-). But it was one of my favorites anyway because I love both the musical side, and the lyrical side and I'm not one that takes in the lyrics to that many songs but this one means something to me. I've seen someone suggest Phantom as one with Tarja singing and I would agree.

[@michaelfry1776]

Great detailed review. Nightwish version of Phantom of the Opera from End of an Era with Tarja and Marco's vocals are worth a listen.

Love ballad by Nightwish. You are my favorite in this thing. I haven’t seen or heard anyone else do this in such a good and enjoyable way. Thanks Chase!

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

Super reaction from you again, and you are spot on, on the details. Really nice 👍 And you are certainly right, a "plain" metal song like this, put through Tuomas's head - and out through Floor's phenomenal voice - removes the plain completely, and you get a Nightwish result that's just awesome. I agree with the others on Gost River, but a really strong alternative should be: While your lips are still red, Wembley 2016 - a nice ballad where Troy is using an E-bow instead of the uilleann pipe - and Marko is lead with Floor as backing vocal!!! - and I believe it's Marko who has written the song as well. That is beautiful, just beautiful. Just keep them coming - you are doing a great job on the analysis - but you might never be able to let go of Nightwish - it will be a lifetime addiction 😁👍😂🤘🤘

[@PaulaSauerbreij]

I think it's absolutely mindblowing, the things you hear and pick up listening to a song for the first time. I doubt there are many others that will be able to pick up the same details even after hearing it for a couple of times. And it's been said before but I will say it again, I don't think there is another reactor (is that a right word? Excuse my english, I'm Dutch) that brings the amount of depth and insight to a reaction-vid than you, Sir. Now I have a whole new approach to my journey. Every time I hear a song that I like (mostly Nightwish) I first listen to the "original" song, and then I go straight to your channel and see if I can find a reaction vid from you of that same song. And that takes listening to it to a whole new level. And then, Floor hitting those high notes and listening to you making it even better, FloorCHASm once again!
