Singer Reacts to Nightwish - Song Of Myself - Nightwish Reaction

[@ronnyseffinga7950]

R.I.P. Ann Waychoff, mother of the Nightwish Army this was YOUR song.....

R.I.P Ann Waychoff mother of the Nightwish Army. June 28th, 2020 . Ann was a big Nightwish Fan. And every new person who listened to NW, she went through a little chat. And gave them some info about NW. This was her favorite song. And this song belongs to her.

Hello, yes. A few weeks i find a answer from her, to a old comment from me. ❤Ann

[@Green-Lyon]

I miss her still so very much. Unbeknownst to me, I learned from her that we had lived quite nearby at one time. It was years before I came to discover Nightwish, but I always imagine what a joy it might have been to talk to her in person. She just had a way of bringing joy, light and positivity to this wonderful community.

[@alanfoster6589]

Still waiting to hear from Jukka, the new bass player.

[@riverdragon17]

Im starting think Jukka isnt going to sing. I think Tuomas should find a vocalist just for touring so we can get those higher harmonies. I know its not gonna be Marco, but maybe close. Im stoll hoping Marco will miss this and decide to return.8

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

@@riverdragon17 Still think they should steal the singer from Liliac (she is also a very good bass player). Floor and her doing harmonies would be spectacular I suspect.

[@dac2007]

Jukka said he won't sing, we have to wait and see when they recruit a permanent member if gonna sing or not. Otherwise this song might not be played live again which would be very sad.

[@sleeepwalk]

"Sometimes the within is piano black..." - Damn, so right...

[@Drinckx2]

This was the next song after Ghost Love Score, so lots of energy. And with that band how could there not be. One of my favourites too.

[@jaynagerber7474]

Especially when you consider this was song 14 of the 15 song, 98 minute set! This was a magical concert, in my opinion one of the best of all time!

[@northof4912]

That they did those two songs back to back……. that could be a concert in itself…..

[@alleninfinity6730]

Floor was meant to be with Nightwish, I kind of like to feel like we create our own destiny, but this band and Floor just make me question that, they fit so perfectly.

[@markusjackel2132]

Finally.....one of the Best Nightwish Songs ever....in my humble opinion...If you have to explain the Groove in Metal to someone...play this song. This slow chugging Groove Monster will do the work for you. The Magic is there when the intro starts....chills every time...and then....the Mother of all Breakdowns hit you like a ten-ton Hammer...awesome. Your smile says it all....sometimes the Sky is piano black...Never listened again to the Studio Version after hearing that.... All Hail the Queen !

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

This song is inspired by the poem of Walt Whitman. The Wacken 2013 live performance is very intense and powerful. 😎👍

[@bmXCZE91]

[@christophschmedes5975]

Yes RIP Anne Waychoff 🤘🤘

[@s_amylee]

I wish I could watch this live again for the 1st time.(I guess that's what reactions are for, to simulate the experience!) the energy and aura of this song is unmatched. The way they go into that breakdown and keep it for the rest of the song??? amazing. I wish I could go back in time and see the 2004 lineup, as well as the 2013 lineup. (nothing wrong with Nightwish now but the energy during those eras were extremely MAGICAL)

[@kimacronym2521]

Great reaction ! I completely agree with everything you say - I was similarly stunned by this song. I thought that Ghost Love Score cannot be topped, also because of its length. Song of Myself is indeed surprising - in my opinion it feels closer to a classical composition, it reminds me more of how Richard Wagner would have composed the Ring of the Nibelungs today - something extremely dark, poetic lyrics, a lot of tonality, great singing, in short music that has to be at the level of Nordic Gods (Nibelungen). And I feel that this song in particular has these qualities, which is why we are taken by surprise, stunned. PS: After listening to many videos of NW now, and also solo pieces from Tarja and Floor, it is clear to me now that this band was blessed with 2 world class, outstanding female lead vocalists. Completely different, but both unique and with outstanding musicality. Again, both would have found their place in Wagner's compositions, and Nightwish resembles a modern version of this. Symphonic music in perfection.

[@peterbell3199]

A great song, proving Ann Waycroft had great musical taste!

[@koserkm]

This is the opera of our day and I love it. So does just about everyone else.

[@darrenhewitt2689]

Another great reaction R.I.P Ann this was for you 🤘🤘

[@gmanwaseverywhere2104]

Song of Myself has to be one of my most favorites done by Nightwish, because of Marco and Floor blending and counter balancing their vocals. Love re-watching others that include Marco's voice, mostly Endlessness, which is also great demonstration of his growl yet vocal range. Marco will be sorely missed.

[@nigeldepledge3790]

The best Nightwish performance is the one I happen to be watching at the moment anyone asks me that question! I think I understand the way you feel about this performance. I especially love that the whole band is chugging the most headbang-inducing riff and that it gets interrupted by Marko and Floor's vocals, pauses for a moment, and then restarts.

The thing I've learned on my Nightwish journey, is that each song you listen to is your new favorite song. I guess they all speak to us depending on our mood and the song just clicks. Weird, but oh so cool. Thank you for reacting to Nightwish. =-)

Nice reaction, Tnx! and I know exactly what you are talking about... since that is my exact feelings listening to this song for at least 100th time..

[@geertdelange4785]

The easy and favorite song for me is Sleeping sun, concert Finland with Floor of course

[@billmorrison8292]

The breakdown part of this song is my favourite part of any Nightwish song. I love the tone of Floor's lower register I think the tone and timbre of her voice is what sets her apart from other singers. When you watch it again and you get to the breakdown take a note of Marco and Empuu walking behind Floor when she begins to sing. Another real Banger you have yet to hear is Seven Days to the Wolves, I thouroughly recommend it.

[@jaynagerber7474]

I will say that I was pleasantly surprised by how good Annette's version was - both the studio version, and at least one of the concerts from early on in the Imagenarium tour (apologies, can't remember off of my head which concert it was, but she sang it dang good there...maybe London?). I think Annette actually sang it in an even lower register than Floor (which from some other comment I read at some point, it seems that Annette has the lowest register of the three, and Tarja has the highest, but obviously Floor is the most versatile), but both of their voices and singing styles in this particular song are surprisingly very similar (although I think Floor was a little higher on that ending note). If I had to point to one thing that sets the two of them apart, it would be Floor's stage presence is much greater than Annette's (again, just speaking about this particular song, and not making any other comparisons).

[@billmorrison8292]

@@jaynagerber7474 I have listened to this version from the Montreux Jazz Festival and Annette didn't do a bad job. I do find her voice a little flat at times. Marco was very quiet in his singing though he has stated that he didn't have to hold back with Floor. Looking at Annette I get the impression she might not have been well but I have no idea whether this impression is valid.

[@jaynagerber7474]

@@billmorrison8292 It wasn't that one, it was from the early part of the tour (I believe it nay have been around March...Annette still had her dark hair), so she seemed to be in better condition (Montreux was towards the end of her time with Nightwish, and she seemed to already be in decline at that point). I can't look it up at the moment, but I just searched for "Nightwish Song of Myself live Annette 2012" or something like that, so if you're curious you can try that. She didn't sound flat to me (although I'm just listening on a Samsung Galaxy tablet, so I can't say it's super high quality), and thought she sounded pretty good overall.

[@jaynagerber7474]

Okay, just looked it up and it was Kiev, Mar 19 2012 (video courtesy of MissNammara). I've only watched it the one time, but it seemed to me that Marko sang higher than he typically did when accompanying Annette (although I may be remembering that incorrectly).

[@lawrencesmallacombe5089]

Agree with your every word. I felt the same way from the very first time I heard this song. Absolutely my favorite NW song.

[@roblaw4554]

Another fine reaction, thanks Sabina! Regarding this WOA show, it remains one of the peak live performance experiences in my life. And for a bit of context of what I mean when I say that: -I grew up in Chicago with tons of show opportunities, starting back in the 60s, and have been fortunate enough to travel many parts of the world where I've seen many more fabulous concerts. -I've seen this band with every lineup except the current, and hope to remedy that in May in NYC. -During this trip to Wacken we saw Deep Purple, Rammstein, Gojira, Powerwolf, Soilwork, Sabaton, Motorhead, Doro and many others on Wed-Fri. Much greatness. Wonderful shows. -On Saturday we saw Alestorm, a bit of LoG, Sonata Arctica, Anthrax, Trivium and Alice Cooper. Another amazing day of rocking it out... Then Tuomas dropped his fist and THIS ride started! People speak of convergences and perfect storms and kismet and such. I'm not real clear on exactly what to attribute this all to, but what I do KNOW for sure is that SOMETHING WONDEROUS happened. Everything clicked and surged. The sum vastly exceeded the parts. And 80 thousand of us lived this ride together with each other and the band. This band in this moment was able to include this audience from all over the planet into, and I do mean into, the worlds that live in Tuomas. They've shared with us the sounds and visions of those worlds thousands of times over the years. This was different, and almost felt like an actual translation into those realms. Or something like that, what the hell do I know anyway?!? Well, I do know it was freaking cooler than most anything else ever felt in my life. So there! And just noting my personal favorites from this set... I take GLS out of the mix, because GLS. So, my top 5 in run of show order: Dark Chest, Ever Dream, Amaranth, Song of Myself, Last Ride. The other 10 numbers are literally just a tiny fraction lower in my own subjective voting, and rotate in and out of the top 5 list super easily. I LOVE THIS SHOW. I cherish the experience, am so grateful to have had the opportunity to be there, and those memories are never very deeply stored because they are revisited so often. I know, blah blah blah... Thanks again Sabina! rl Rock Strong 🤘😈🤘

[@Woody_Hart]

There's one thing I can never get back, and that's my reaction I get when I hear a great song like this for the very first time. What do I look for in a reaction video? By watching you, I empathize your reactions (feelings) during the performance and in this case, you bring me very close to my original feelings. Your reactions and text commentary are very satisfying. Love from Florida!

A magical, mystical song that just takes you to another place. How can you not love it.

[@rognuald9007]

This song is one of my favorites, right up there with so many others like Story Time. I love how this piece changes both vocally and instrumentally. Tuomas is more sophisticated than most other rock and metal bands, he always keeps you on your toes. Nightwish had such an amazing lineup of musicians in 2013.

[@mgriffis38]

It is a great song great reaction. There is another half of this that most reactors miss out on from the original studio track. The poem at the end needs a listen! Please give it a go!

[@Donna-C]

I think you would enjoy it 🤔 💭

[@phillee2814]

Gabriel Bardac has a composite version on his channel of this live performance blending into the final section, "love", from the album. For me, it is THE perfect version although I can understand why the last section isn't spoken in live performances but displayed on the video wall behind them instead, which unfortunately is not picked up by the cameras. That section is extremely thought-provoking and completes the song.

[@davidhill7055]

Great reaction. It is a hidden gem. The change-up in the last third kicks the song in to orbit. It is guttural. You make perfect sense in your observation. Love to watch you, listen to you, learn from you.

[@pro-v7500]

Aside from the performance and musicality (both amazing), the thing I love most about the song is the inspiration and meaning. It’s inspired by Walt Whitman’s 52 line poem “Song of Myself”. In "Song of Myself," Walt Whitman celebrates the self. The speaker of the poem speaks not just for himself but for all mankind, praising the joy and wonder of experiencing nature. Whitman celebrates the human body and its ability to become one with the self and with nature. In Tuomas’s Song of Myself, there are reference to his previous works and internal reflection on his ability to become one with music. Music is his nature in his Song of Myself. “A catnap in the ghost town of my heart [Ghost Love Score?] She dreams of story time [Storytime] and the river ghosts [Ghost River] Of mermaids [Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean], of Whitman's and the ride [Last Ride of The Day]” “A song of me song in need Of a courageous symphony A verse of me verse in need Of a pure-heart singing me to peace” Lots of juxtaposition of the beauty of making music, the emptiness of having the music go quiet, and the inspiration to keep making the music that needs to be made.

[@jaynagerber7474]

Don't forget his reference back to the "dead boy", from "Dead Boys Poem", the first of the five great epic songs ("Dead Boys Poem", "The Beauty OF the Beast", "Ghost Love Score", "Song of Myself", and "The Poet and the Pendulum"); note that I don't include "The Greatest Show on Earth" as one of these five, as it does not seem to reference back to the others (unlike the last four, which all refer back to the others to some extent or another), although it is epic in its own right.

[@roblaw4554]

Insightful analysis. Spot on. Well said. Thanks! I think "the inspiration and meaning" is a key part of my enjoyment of art in general, and especially with my love of music. With NW that aspect is just so available it's practically unavoidable....and I'm grateful!

[@GryLi]

Hi Sabina...if there would (if it would be 'ever' possible!) be made a top 150 (!) of Best /\/ \/\/ songs, Song Of Myself (Wacken 2013) should end up in the last 3...I agree totally with you, right here. This artistic highlight, sort of 'explodes' in your brain and settles itself forever. The song has all ingredients: depth, visualization, art, brilliance, flair, surprise elements...basically, music of the highest ever possible category! Love from The Netherlands.

[@dennisb7405]

WOW, I have so many favorite songs from this one concert, and Song of Myself is definitely one of them. LOVED your reaction to it. If you haven't listened yet to Ghost River from this same concert, give it a try. It is one of my Super favorites from this concert. Floor and Marko together in it are just magical.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

I agree. The Ghost River is the most underrated song by Nightwish. And Marco has such a big part in that so we'll never ever see another performance of it unless Marco returns in the future.

[@jaynagerber7474]

You can catch Empuu singing along as well, from time to time (on some songs, at least). I think I've seen Jukka sing along a couple of times, but it's hard to tell for sure as the camera pans away from him way to quickly in almost every song (never stays on him long enough to tell what he's doing, besides beating up his drums!😅).

What I love about this song are the Imaginaerum vibes it gives off and Marco's voice - his voice is probably my favourite male singing voice (Sorry not sorry Dimash!!) My favourite songs from their Wacken '13 concert are GHOST LOVE SCOOOOOORE GHOST LO ... uhh I mean ... Ghost River Last of the Wilds She Is My Sin Dark Chest of Wonders Nemo Wish I Had An Angel But it's like "Alright THIS is my favourite song" and then I watch another one and I'm like "Alright THIS is my favourite song". And then I don't listen to Nightwish for a while, then I listen to a third different song and I'm like " ... Alright THIS is my favourite song"

[@randalladams7692]

Its one of my favs for sure its so powerful got goose bumps you said everything you rock

[@dac2007]

This song and this version in particular ranks high in my list, too bad they didn't play it live as much as it deserves. Such a perfect blend of heaviness and symphony. BTW this came right after Ghost Love Score and before the last track of the show (Last Ride of the Day). Such a ridiculous one-two punch to close the show.

This song is for You Ann (mother of Nightwish Army) R.I.P 🤘😔🤘 Your flame and passion lives on in Us 🤘🔥🤘. Ann Waychoff was known by many as the Nightwish Mom.

Hi Sabina! I think you would also really love the full-length 14 minute version which concludes with a beautiful spoken-word poem over a backdrop of the London Philharmonic Orchestra that was inspired by Walt Whitman's poem "Song of Myself" from his "Leaves of Grass" anthology. The actual studio album version is not as dynamically exciting as this live one, but a fan (I forget who) has put together a "Tribute to Ann Waychoff" version where they pasted the studio recording of the poem at the end of this Wacken song. It's worth looking up!

[@Azmodan911]

Hey Sabina, it's awesome to see you doing more Nightwish! Yes, I think this whole concert was magical. Every performance was incredible. This particular song wasn't one of my favorites at first, and then it grew on me. Now I think it's one of their best. Maybe you should do a reaction to the entire Wacken show? :)

If it was up to me I would swap it in for GLS in the "big 3" but hey luckily for everyone else I don't make these "important" decisions!! :D This song and Ghost river are my favs from this concert the part in Ghost River where Floor solos is amongst my favourite all time live parts of any song it is perfection for me!
