Singer Reacts to Nightwish - The Poet And The Pendulum

[@RealityDysfunction85]

Quite literally a modern masterpiece of composition and emotion.

[@mr.tinkertrain8510]

indeed bro!

[@billtbodger]

Floor does not just sing songs, she puts her heart and soul into them and projects those feelings in such a pure way that you feel every nuance of the songs. I have not heard another singer who can make me feel every song rahter than just hearing them, I love her for that

[@TriGator]

Floor's sensitivity to the subject matter of the song is exemplified by her soft thoughtful "Thank you" at the end of the performance.

[@andrewbennefield529]

Love that you listen and don't interfere with the music. A classy reaction video.

[@keeskloost6977]

Floor is the magical vocal story-teller. There is no one like her.

[@oneknight55]

The last part "Home" was from a letter Tuomas' Mom had written. I tear up every time I watch this. Thank you for reacting to "The Poet and the Pendulum."

[@ricfontes]

Home is actually the second part, when the full band begins to play. The last part which refers the his parents actual words to him is called "Mother and Father".

[@amygoodson-catlady]

I like to sing this song...but if I think for even a moment, about the meaning of the words...I crack. It's amazing how much emotion Floor brings to this song!

[@jamesstaplesv]

wow no tears, 10,000 listens, tears always

[@matzek.3220]

Beautiful reaction ladies! The parting from Tarja for sure contributed to Tuomas' depression. But many have said, that for the most part it was the anger and backlash on him (although it was a band's decision) by fans and media that hit him hard and led to these dark emotions. Again lovely reaction, love you 🥰!

[@millerbeer01]

Getting up for work at 2:00am is miserable, plain and simple. But this morning, I saw you did a new reaction with yourself and Henri, and the frown turned into a comfortable smile. :)

[@sabina1118]

Aww, I'm so glad to hear that 🤗❤️

[@WardDorrity]

Another reactor has said that Tuomas' musical and emotional IQ isn't merely through the roof, it's up in the sky somewhere. Who else can compose like this? Who else can play like this? Who else can sing like this - and literally become what she sings? And above all, who else could touch your heart and soul like this? This is a masterpiece of power and emotion.

[@mikkolaine4883]

I recall Floor saying that she really likes to sing this song and has put a lot of effort to the arrangement. She offered to sing the intro boy soprano parts but Tuomas declined as it is a crucial part of the theme. That inner boy you know.

You told the Story correctly, in parts, his depression came also because of the backlash in Media and from the fans to him after firing Tarja.

@@sabina1118 I read that the Finland Prime Minister got involved with Tarja's sacking. It must have been a big deal to Finland!

[@nicod1361]

@@sabina1118 yes the song composition is more about the his dealing with the aftermath & hate from media & fans not so much about the actual firing of Tarja,which btw was by the whole band ,even Marko had declared either she goes or I go.

[@nemesisjuggernaut7920]

@@nicod1361 I strongly disagree. That would be very shallow of Tuomas, and he’s a very deep person. It obvious from the lyrics it’s about much more.

[@eddiewinehosen6665]

@@nemesisjuggernaut7920 Why would it be shallow? The song is Toumas adressing his feelings about the whole aftermath of firing Tarja. Falling into such a deep depression over it that he contemplated suicide but decided to commit it in a song lyric instead of doing it for real is hardly "shallow"!

[@johnlovell2956]

That might be the single best short description of what the song is about and why he wrote it. Important to note that Tuomas doesn't listen to this song when they play it. He has his earpieces turned off during it.

[@johnvanson1583]

two beautiful ladys reacting to Nightwish, Tarja is a friend of Floor and still she performs this song like she does. Glad that Floor became the singer of Nightwish, it fits so well and it took the old music to a higher level in my eyes.

[@wikingagresor]

[@hboplus1]

Congratulations ladies, the combo (Nightwish playing + You 2 reacting) made me cry once more time listening that masterpiece. Just amazing.

[@laudatosiadastra1218]

Really nice reaction again :) I first heard this song without knowing the backstory but it actually enhanced the meaning for myself, as I could relate to the lyrics and the feeling of the song so much that it almost felt as if it was written for me. I truly believe that this song helped me work through many emotions that were trapped inside after going through many years of sadness linked to chronic brain issues after menengitis. All of the works of Nightwish have actually helped me very much. Daily dopamine top-ups listening to beautiful Floor sing these magical songs. Medicine for my soul :)

[@pdutchie4924]

Can not listen to this without tearing up, EVERY TIME

[@craigbolton5093]

OK- I just spent the whole time feeling that again, through Henri. And tears, of course. Thank you

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

Very thoughtful reaction to this masterpiece, where Tuomas poetically killed the innocent kid inside him. Sad content, but a very beautiful song containing one of the longest and best choruses ever made, and how delightfully Henri sang it along. The ending gets me 😭 every time. Thank you! 💗👭👍

[@flemminglinnebjergrasmusse4338]

Absolute masterpiece with just so much attention to detail in both music and lyrics from Toumas. You really could write almost a book around the interpretation of that song, but here's just a few of the things that touch me the most when watching this performance: The first spoken word part states that "I have three minutes and counting" - and then exactly three minutes later, Toumas literally chops his head of. It's artistic suicide in a song instead of killing himself in real life. That's just so powerfull to me. Imagine to be in such a dark place and then still somehow produce art from it on this level is just extraordinary. I love how the performance show the bond between the members, especially Toumas, Emppu and Marko. You see quite early on, Emppu going to check in on Toumas and have a few words with him. And then at the end, Emppu and Marko gather round Toumas as the song ends to show this togetherness. But there's just loads and loads of detail. The darkest parts of the song are quite disturbing. Toumas stating himself as "the second robber to the right of Christ" - that beeing Judas (a story of betrayal) and in the chorus calling himself almost a two-faced whore for the cold world, and almost rejecting support by saying "no more words - tell me once my heart goes right". Those are lyrics written from a dark, depressed mind. But then there is the last part, "Mother & Father", which is actually the beginning. Toumas returning home to his parents who asks him "how did you become so cold?" (in firering Tarja), but also saying "you have such oceeans within" and "in the end I will always love you". Just wow. And all of that is not even touching on the musical side. The simple joy of seeing Marko play a quite complicated bass line whilst delivering his vocal part is worth the jouney alone. Thanks for your reaction - I can promise you that there's is so much to gain from rewatching this several times and discovering new things each time.

[@572Btriode]

Flemming Linnebjerg Rasmussen above did a very good job, might I just add a few bits. I think it may help Sabina and Henri to know the song is written backwards, you need to listen very carefully, the boy narrator says "The end" at the start and "The beginning" at the end when Marko joins Emppu on Tuomas' podium. I see overall, the segment with Marko's vocal part to be an illustration of the vitriolic ire from all sides directed at Tuomas alone, the betrayer of the beloved Nightwish band, even though the firing letter was signed by the whole band. Raped again and again would be the unrelenting vitriol of fans and press. We know that Tuomas often uses the pseudonym of "boy", they want him in two pieces - infanticide. Only a guess, but knowing how deeply metaphoric Tuomas can be, the idea of the ultimate betrayer or Judas might be if you look at Da Vinci's The Last Supper, but looking out, not in as we usually do, then Judas is the second robber on the right. Floor knew what was coming but was not party to the debacle of the previous firing, the immediately previous song in the Wembley set, she sings "conquering the darkest places" directly to Tuomas on his podium at the end, I don't know if Sabina has done that one yet. A very good job done by these two charming ladies, much appreciated and it is indeed pleasant to listen to the work without interruption. You are both to be applauded.

[@alleninfinity6730]

Tuomas still relives this on some level every time, but the artist he is, he understands as painful and embarrassing to him, he knew it had to be told. That man is a true man and genius.

[@BoothTheGrey]

Uhm - no - has nothing to do with being a genius. Everybody who knows deep depression that was created by a certain traumatic situation learns his way to later handle the feelings when have memories about that situation. Its really good that he learned that like many other people had to learn that... but it is NOT special and makes nobody a genius.

[@alleninfinity6730]

[@pietheindejonge321]

If you read the interview in the most recent Metal Hammer, you would know that Tuomas was never a second suicidal.

[@Matjo7588dk]

Even after all these years people still say this. He has himself made it clear he never considered killing himself, that was not something he could do. In the song he kills that part of his life so he can move on. but it was never about acting on it in the song so he would not do it in real life.

[@davidbarrass5210]

Although it's alledged by many that Toumas had a crush or was in love with Tarja, as I understand it this is more about the backlash from the fans at the time over the firing of Tarja and how he felt that the band was finished. It is said that he fell into a deep depression that took almost a year and some wise words from his mother (home) for him to contact the other band members and decided to continue with a new singer. Toumas has said that he committed suicide in the song to save himself from doing so in real life. I could see that when Floor went into head voice in the Pacific it really got to Henri just as it gets us all, then by the end of Dark passion play she had caught the hook of the chorus and was singing along.

[@jimilgenfitz6998]

Thanks ladies for your comments on this....insightful as usual! I never get tired of this epic song. 👍💖

[@davidhill7055]

Even with dark songs like this, Tuomas always has an uplifting message if you look for it. In this masterpiece it occurs at the very end when Floor almost whispers "the beginning...." As you said Floor is flawless. She empathetic and sensitive with a great capacity to vicariously experience and translate the feelings of others without having gone thru it herself. Enjoyed your analysis, and as always Henri.

Hi Sabina and Henry! 🤘 Nice to see you two once more together making an reaction! I always like NW reactions with you or you 2 together! It's so sad to know the back story from this song, but without that this song, this masterpiece, will not exist. So it's a little bit bittersweet. I love Floor so much, she did live always such a great job and i always get goosebumps with this song! This song is not easy to sing! It's so nice when Emppu first and Marco later in the end go to Tuomas ask him how he feel or if he is ok, Tuomas said in an interview he killed himself in this song so he don't do it in real live but he also said sometimes he told the sound engeneer to take the vocals out of his inner ear headphones so it's a little bit easyer for him. I hope i see somedays an reaction from you (or you 2) from the song "Creek Marys Blood" from the End of an era conzert in 2005 with Tarja. It's one of the few songs Floor hasn't sung yet, like Beauty of the beast, but i like this song. It's so beautiful and with a special guest. I wish you 2 an great rest of this week and see you next time. 🖤 Bye! 🖤

[@frenkwd1]

Nice to see you again. This song is really a master piece by Tuomas. The song "The Poet and the Pendulum" is a 13 Minute journey through the mind and turmoil of Tuomas Holopainen after the year 2005. It was in that year the band parted with their long-time singer Tarja Turunen and had a personal falling out with her. The pain of the separation was big on both sides, and shown in this song. There is guilt for what happened, there is the responsibility that the band and Holopainen had to show towards the fans,. It was the End of an Era for them, and reason for Holopainen being lost as described in these lyrics. We can only of course to a certain degree suppose how much of these are truly Holopainen's feelings, wishes and pains - but we do know that the lyrics of Nightwish have been up to then very personal. Other songs on the album also digest this separation and falling out of the members with Turunen. However personal and "real" these thoughts are, I feel like this song definitely takes us not only on a journey with Holopainen but also into ourselves. The music underlines the emotional gravity of the song extremely well. And I believe a lot of people can actually relate to a sense of guilt and being overwhelmed that all they desired for is the safety of home and innocence. While being personal, the song can still ring true to it's listener. That's a quality Nighwish possesses in many, many more songs. The emotional journey is one we can all share and very few bands know how to put that journey into song and especially into sound as well as Nightwish does. The band remains through all it's shores and Oceans, one of my main favourites and I hold special place for the band in my musical heart. I hope you have enjoyed reading my analysis and share some of my thoughts. If you do have any comments, please feel free to let me know. And remember the beauty of interpretation is that it is subjective; we can see all and feel different things in the same song and continue to love it endlessly.

[@Accolonian]

I never had that big of a connection to this song as others have. Maybe it is because I misunderstood it. I think I always heard that last line "In the end I will always love you" as a message directly to Tarya and I didn't like it because that has an undertone of him still hoping against hope. Which in turn resonated with me as not being able to let go of the one that friendzoned you, even though you may feel they were the love of your life. Of which I can relate. So maybe I despised him a bit for the, but really projecting myself. Anyway, I only realized recently that those are words from his parents, not from him, so joke's on me.

When the demo of this song was made, it was the time between Tarja and Anette, Nightwish had no female vocalist. So Marko sang the whole song. There are four lines of additional lyrics in the demo version. They are only in the demo. Those lines were dropped from the studio/album version, and from live versions. "Would you like to rape my rotting carcass? Dissect my heart. And dislocate my wrist. It would make you come, wouldn't it? "Slaying the Dreamer" is another song where Tuomas left out some rough words, cleaned up the lyrics, before studio. I do not know if the "original" lyrics have been published, it may be that Tuomas has just told in general that that's what happened, with no details.

Tarja had also begun to travel separately from the rest of the band. But worse than that she had said "Nightwish needs me more than I need Nightwish." This left the guys with no other recourse but to fire Tarja as it was clear she regarded herself as the 'Talent' with the guys being her backing group.

Well put silv425. It felt to me that the band would of become Tarja and Nightwish if her husband had got his own way. The Tarja only fans don’t seem to understand there would be no Nightwish if the sacking hadn’t occurred. Tuomas took the blame, but the letter was signed by the whole band.

The best of all the songs, though not the longest. That was The Greatest Show on Earth until the new album came out. If you take the parts of All the Works of Nature which Adorn the World as one big piece, that is the longest. It's a shame we'll never see this live again but that is a decision Tuomas had every right to make given the nature of the song. Very nice reaction as always. I noticed that Henri was completely lost in it with her eyes closed. Something you have to notice here is that at various times Emppu and Marko go over to Tuomas to check he is ok. He has said that at times he had to have the lyrics turned off in his in-ear because he couldn't bear to hear them. At the end Floor delays her usual "Thank you" to look across to Tuomas to check he's OK. At this point both Marko and Emppu have joined him. There is much mutual love and respect in this band. One of the things that makes them able to perform such music so well. For an interesting experience, seek out the demo version. Marko sang all the lyrics and there is much more anger in it.
