Singer Reacts to Nightwish - High Hopes (Pink Floyd Cover)

[@alexandersanchez4515]

with Marko please check, While lips are still red (live in London), The voice of my father and of course The Islander (live in Tampere)

[@RC2214]

Don't forget about that drummer, killin it there too! :-)

[@paivijyrkinen]

With Love from Finland!

[@corneliusantonius3108]

This song was about troubles in the band Pink Floyd at that time and Tuomas decided to play a cover live in 2005

[@frenkwd1]

I have tears in my eyes. Oh, God, I'm going to miss Marco. I hope he comes back.

[@TheVirtualWatcher]

More Marko? You need While Your Lips Are Still Red (Live, at Wembley, 2015) and The Islander (Live At Tampere) ...

[@timbroski4487]

Yes please!

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

Agree

[@heartorias5105]

and Wish I Had An Angel, which has a fantastic live version (the one with Tarja) - it is slightly out of sync with the video though but still great! Oh and The Crow, the Owl and the Dove! Ah I love Marko

[@matzek.3220]

I agree to all above and for something different I'd like to add Marko singing Schubert's "Ave Maria" at Raskasta Joulua (duet with Floor featuring three languages in one song).

[@matzek.3220]

Oh, and for a heart warming moment Marko Hietala "Lullaby" where he sings and plays for Jukka's youngest child.

[@MrRagman68]

For a few moments i thought you will burst in tears. I highly recommend " the Islander" live in Tampere to you...another Masterpiece of Marko. Really sad that he's leaving the band

[@sabina1118]

Yea, I was really really into it - so well spotted! That's noted, thanks! ❤️

[@madkow007]

i think you should do a 2fer...the islander with floor on backup from the tampere show AND the greatest show on earth from tampere show...with henri of course And while we are at it...your look today made me think of this one...While your lips are still red is another great Marco tune

[@davidbarrass5210]

Yes I agree, the Islander live from Tampere is another calmer sweeter song from marko.

[@Richard.Linder]

@@davidbarrass5210 Yes. And _While Your Lips Are Still Red_ at Wembley. A beautiful performance, with a nice surprise from Troy.

@@sabina1118 This is from his first band in 1986... before he grew the beard and before his voice was damaged in surgery; he had to relearn how to sing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fne7lKmnnLyeftk. The lead guitar player is his older brother

[@sasunoma]

We have great singers in Finland! Marko is the one and the best❣❣

[@bobbydill6388]

As I have said before. I met them all a few years ago. You can always tell true talent. They have no egos. They let the music speak for them. Marko was very laid back. Very kind and patient. He also has great sense of humor. Made me feel comfortable talking to them. Just a great bunch of people.

[@milton1448]

They seems so humble and wholesome. Cool you had the chance to meet them.

[@music2seeconcertphotograph457]

For me this is less a cover but more a tribute to the original song and to Pink Floyd.

[@Cherubim2000]

Unbelievable!

[@Zentrix-24]

Marko is an intelligent super talented singer....He really suited this band and helped elevate their status and popularity .

[@ronnysmaaberg]

And this is why Marko is gonna be missed greatly! I have High Hopes that he will return soon.. 🤘🏼

[@beezysbeatz4924]

Marko does such an inspired tribute. Dave's guitar sang the final 3rd of the song which is emotional af.... Marko did it equal justice. 🤘

[@thatoneguyagain2252]

It takes a certain amount of audacity to even attempt a Pink Floyd cover - and immense talent to pull it off. What Marco and Nightwish do here goes beyond talent and all the way to genius. I saw Nightwish in a club in 2016, and stood about fifteen feet from Marco. This song was a true highlight of an overwhelming show, and Marco at close range is even more amazing than what we see in these videos. I can't imagine how they'll ever replace Marco . . . but then again, I said the same thing about Tarja, and look how well that turned out.

[@phillipgross1887]

we are so going to miss his presence, can only hope he will return, EMPPU....master of the solo, never plays to little, never plays too much, just what the song needs. Marco was so glad when Floor came on board as he always had to hold back with the other singers, but with Floor, they both can just let it rip!!!!!! Keepum coming!!!!

[@Nizamm1]

he has an operatic voice, which is rare for a rock singer, beautiful vibrato also, and his high notes sound so pleasant to our ears expecially the last corus it's sound so so so beautiful.. "the water flowing the endless river" in one breath!!!! what a long breath he has

[@thisworldofwater8017]

Sabina, you are spot on about Marko being ridiculously comfortable - yet intense - on stage. This is what he does. Which is why it's hard to believe he won't come back. Get better, sir, then rejoin us. Other peeps here have already recommended another Marko highlight: The Islander (live in Tampere). You'll get to hear him perform VERY much solo, just him and a guitar in front of 20,000 people. And once again, he reveals different colours in his voice. By the way, we all have a woman- or mancrush on Emppu, that dear boy.

[@fraukehammer4624]

Dear Sabina, you know, this is not a cover, its a tribute from Nightwish to Pink Floyd.

[@kezca]

Yep see marko shine in this one too, kiss while your lips are still red live from wembley.

[@johndreessen7335]

Great tribute to Pink Floyd. Marko’s voice is great. We will all miss him in Nightwish. Get goosebumps every time seeing and hearing this version by Nightwish. You must see “the islander” live at tampere. Another song with Marco’s great voice.

[@gailbreslin5441]

This was NOT a cover. It was a Tribute and David Gilmour approved!

[@tonycardone990]

The Islander, The voice of my father, and Delain- Sing to me featuring Marko are more great Marko songs

[@josephbishop3590]

Tony... don't forget to remind Sabina (and Henri, if she's also in attendance) to bring tissues if they decide to react to The Voice of My Father. I can see them trying, unsuccessfully, to keep the tears at bay. I know I have trouble.

[@artohumppi1855]

My favourite Marko song is Master Passion Greed but those are good too

[@semperfidelis7517]

While your lips are still red.

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

This may be Marko's best solo voice singing of anything I have seen

[@isragat]

This version is better than the OG & I'm saying that as a Pink Floyd fan. I love your reactions so great job :-) As many before me already said, you need to watch 'The Islander' live from Tampere & I'll add that I think you should also listen to 'While your lips are still red' either the original studio version or the live performance from Wembley, both are great!

[@Matt-rn7ub]

One of his best performances ever, and my favourite of him where he sings alone. Great reaction.😊👍 I would love to see what Henri is gonna say to it.😄

[@billtbodger]

This is still a rare piece of art, one of the few were I prefer the cover to the original, this is not really a cover it is a whole new imagining of High Hopes. Marco just pours his heart into this song, and Emppu is stunning, Jukkas drums are perfection and Tuomas just supports the whole song, But it is Marcos real time to shine and he shines brighter than the sun

[@danasantello5215]

Just found that cover about a week ago. I’ve probably watched/listened to it a couple dozen times. Strange to watch Nightwish without a female singer but loved it! Nice reaction.

[@СергейТанаис-г5н]

Cool cover! I love both teams: Nightwish and Pink Floyd. Respect for your excellent manner of commenting: there is no interruption of the song, but everything is reflected in the subtitles

[@johnvanson1583]

the text mirrors todays state of the world too, great reaction as always, greets from Bulgaria

[@fraukehammer4624]

Please, please, please Sabina, give us a reactionvideo to this song with Henri on your side.😘😘😘😘

[@deraltekool65]

I think Nightwish enhances this song so well ... Better than the original ... Great ... And you are a great person who analyzes music videos very well ... Great ... Greetings from Germany ...

[@Idefixu]

I love your written comments along the song! Stick to that! This is one of my favorite performances, more like a tribute than just a cover. One reactor, a guy from Germany, said this was a performance by 4 guys competing whose the coolest of all. They really all shine in this one. When it's time, (whenever that might be, there is a lot of music in this world to react to) for your next main vocals by Marko reaction, maybe something softer that time. Nightwish "While Your Lips Are Still Red" Wembley 2015, a beautiful ballad. Or Nightwish "The Islander" Tampere 2015, folky, Celtic, sea shanty, Marko's own composition, lyrics by Tuomas. 🇫🇮

[@Idefixu]

I want to add one more song, from Marko's solo 2019 album: Isäni Ääni/The Voice of My Father. In Finnish/In English. Even many non-Finnish speakers prefer the original in Finnish. The English version lyrics can be easily found on the internet. It is important to know the lyrics, wise words by Marko. (In the English language video Marko is blurred, because he sings in Finnish, they did not make a new video for the English version. And there is an unfortunate typo in the video, sing my 'song' and I'll be with you, instead of sing my 'son' and I'll be with you, like it should be.)

[@phillippi2]

Marko has gone on record saying that this song pretty much inspired his whole career. So, when it was suggested that they cover this, he wanted to make sure he did it justice, while adapting it to Nightwish's style. I think they succeeded.

[@koserkm]

My hope is that Marco will come back when he gets things sorted out. He belongs in Nightwish but mental health is much more important. Love you Marko and good luck. By the way you are one of the top reactors on KZbin as far as I am concerned. Nice seeing real emotions without craziness

[@gaborschermann5479]

About your LoTR Elf crush: It's not a coincidence. Tolkien modeled the Elves, including their language from Finns. Their blondeness, love for the nature, their behavior all resemble to the elves.

[@juanitooctavio9023]

This tribute can only be described in one word... Brilliant!

[@ristohyvarinen8448]

Hi Sabina, such a great reaction to this magnificent song you had. I think you might find interresting to hear Marko singing Islander -Tampere 2015 or Kiss, while your lips are still red - Wembley Arena. Of course he has amazing songs performing with Floor Jansen. I like his voice a lot, very unique voice. Only one in the whole world. So many times when we see him playing his bass, we forget how talented singer he is. I also appreciate him as a musician, writing songs and lyrics. Not to forget his talents to sing and play bass and guitar at the same time. I have heard the original song several times which is just great and I really don't like to compare it to this version. I like both of these very much. This gives different kind of wibes with that more metallic sound. Great work from Nightwish guys. Drums and guitar solos, YES! They just keep echoing in my head for a long time after the song ended. A great choise to pick this song here to listen. I'll be waiting for the next choise of your's... take care.

[@kostas7374]

They gave you chills, you gave us chills... Everything is fine in Sabina's channel!! 💖💖

[@gillandianyt3920]

Extra special emotionally, as Tarja was backstage, not knowing what was to come, that look from Tuomas to Marco. These guys are absolutely amazing, you were ready to wipe away a tear... Came back to this from your 50K party, a big thank you for doing these, as we can't safely go out yet, this means a lot, it's like being there with you.

[@damianvc31]

For a cover to be remembered and revisited for so many years after it happened it really speaks for itself. They took the great original and created their own amazing version. And Marko just kills it, we are so going to miss him in Nightwish

[@Nizamm1]

I made a Nightwish fan after playing this song to a life-long Pink Floyd fan! note Tuomas' side nod at 2:59 - telling Emppu to check on Jukka who had a migraine! - and he still played so well!!! 4:52 Emppu jumps back down. Absolutely love this TRIBUTE from Nightwish to Pink Floyd!!!!!

Marko is such a natural frontman and I know he has had his own bands in the past and present but I love that he takes a step back in Nightwish for a female lead.

I have always thought you to be attractive, but in this video you were especially lovely. Marko, does indeed have a fabulous voice, it is so sad that he has decided to take some time off due to disillusionment with the industry. He will be VERY hard to replace/substitute. Keep up the fantastic work, and give Henri a hug for me... You two are the best.

Very nice reaction, thanks! NIGHTWISH AND MEGADETH?? 🔥 MARCO SINGING HEAVY SOLO? 🤘🏻 My suggestion is another cover of them, which we HARDLY see on KZbin.🇳🇱 And if you like a HEAVY Nightwish sound, this will be a very nice one! 🔥🤘🏻😎 Marco is singing solo on this one. Check out their cover of Megadeth, symphony of destruction. (Montreal 2004) AND A HEAVY SIREN FLOOR & MARCO? The second also hardly on KZbin, is a heavy Siren, The Siren performed live of course by Floor Jansen, and also again a very good singing Marco🔥❤️🤘🏻 Enjoy it, and I with you!

Nice react. Been a Pink Floyd for all my life (65 y old Dutch bloke) and seen them several times. This is an extraordinary tribute from an excellent band to an excellent band. Marco kills it here!

[@johannessilver8653]

Most of us think that rather than cover this is a tribute to PF. Tuomas wanted to tune this original to fit NW and made it heavier and the result is so awesome and brilliant. Marco shows he not only that he is awesome bass player for NW but can sing so great at the same time and has so fitting voice for NW male singer role. So sad that he decided to leave.

[@mailen5187]

Thank you so much for reacting this Masterpiece, absolutely one of the greatest covers, I've ever heard. I have listened to this song many times and never get bored with it. Probably never will. Overwhelming performance and a great tribute to Pink Floyd.

[@Divedown_25]

3:08 A story I read is that Jukka had migraine and hold his head at 2:49, at 3:02 you see Toumas nod to Emppu to check him up and at 4:54 you can see Empuu jumping off the Drum stage after being there up with Jukka. Not sure it was like that but that’s what I read

The Nightwish boys like to call this a tribute to Floyd. Marko is a natural storyteller and is very comfortable as the lead vocalist. There are a few more NIghtwish songs where Marko takes the lead vocals. He is the only singer on Earth that can claim "Floor Jansen is my backup singer"! Check out "The Islander" live from Tampere, or "While your Lips are still Red" live from Wembley for more Marko. Hi to Henri.

Now Marko left the band and I was so looking forward to hear him live, but that's life I guess :) Rather see him join the band again then never. But I want to recommend a couple of more songs then just "the islander" as many tend to recommend.
