Hello from Finland. 😊 And wow 😍 What a reaction ❣️Thank you again.🙏 Dont worry about pausing, it is ok. I love this song.🥰 And here is something for you to check out. This is also 🔥😁 Nightwish; Devil and the deep dark ocean. ❤ Maybe even better than what you just watch.😅 Here is link for you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmOZo5Ksdr6EZrMsi=LLNpSptXgGvGc0E_ Cant wait for it.❣️

Yessssss ❤

[@roihesse9174]

She is viking queen.

[@Spectre67Productions]

She puts her hands on her hips to windmill because it helps relax her neck and prevents injury.

I have seen BABYMETAL doing it and the fans say they are doing "Floor Headbanging".😉 🖖❤

@@okiejohn3925 Yep, if you haven't seen it check out: Bring Me The Horizon - 'Kingslayer' ft. BABYMETAL (Live In Tokyo). They do some wicked headbanging in that performance. 🖖❤

[@Duskwind_]

There are a lot of very good symphonic metal bands out there, but there is only one Nightwish, because there will only ever be one Tuomas.

[@renejensen7799]

So true, even all in band are amanzingly talented, it wouldnt be the Nightwish sound we know without Tuomas.. Tuomas is imo only member that cant be replaced, now its a diffrent story if the band would carry on, if one more left, but Tuomas once said, Nightwish is like a carosel, the riders might change, but it keeps spinning..

[@MikkoRantalainen]

I agree. I think the closest to similar feel by other composers might be something like The Dark Element - "Songs The Night Sings" or Visions Of Atlantis - "Melancholy Angel". Some even call "Songs The Night Sings" as sequel to Escapist by Nightwish.

[@randomman4938]

I was late to the NightWish (with Floor) party, only discovering them in 2020. After being a metal head since the 1980’s, they quickly became my favorite band ever. And over 4 years later, I still listen to them nearly everyday. ❤❤❤

[@barrydunham896]

Me too man!

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

Ann Waychoff were the mother of the Nightwish Army. A very kind lady that's not with us any more. Ann always wrote some kind welcoming words to new reactors, telling them about Nightwish. This was her favorite song. Gabriel has taken over from Ann after she passed away, a few years ago.

[@WillRobinson]

Yeah, I miss Ann. The Nightwish Army Mom. Rest in peace.

hi Lanae. Floor sings together with her girlfriend Simone from the band Epica. think you like it. Epica- Sancta Terra(feat Floor Jansen) Retrospect show. greetings from the netherlands

[@majbrat]

Also, add their duet of Stabat Mater Dolorosa from the same show. Glorious.

[@pabloragusa]

I concur to both suggestions!

[@bertwinblok9524]

​@@majbratplz stop aking to react too NOT an Epica song only because Floor sings in that song as well. If you want her to discover Epica let her react to for example Design your own Universe Retrospect live

[@HiTekCowboy]

Agree! Also Howdy to my ancestry land from Texas!

[@hson_hson9621]

I agree, both Sancta Terra and Stabat Mater Dolorosa is so good

[@whirledpeaz5758]

Only Nightwish can turn a breakdown into a verse this epic.

this concert never gets ''old'' SO GOOD the sound, the looks,✨🔥 fantastic🤘

[@MichealWatson-tb9yg]

Dead boys poem. Poet and the pendulum and yours is an empty hope are all fantastic.

[@damonbryan7232]

R.I.P. Sweet Ann. Missing her kind soul. From Nightwish, there's so many more directions to go. All the solo projects from all the band. To all the connection bands. Floors husband is drummer for Sabaton. Kamalot will always have a special connection to Nightwish(Denver debacle).

[@make_m_finland]

To Ann 🕯❤

[@randomman4938]

Every time this song ends, I always catch myself saying out loud. “Wacken open air…. “ And then the feeling of sadness knowing only one more song left in this tremendous concert.

[@Neonbob]

My Valkyrie Queen 🤘🔥. This was the song that Nightwish Captured me

[@robertsheeler321]

Floor puts hands on her hips for support doing the windmilling , A lot of people with do the Wacken whole show in 3 or four sections at a time its 15 song so you don't get strikes maybe consider doing sets of 4 songs in each recording , here is the complete best link for the whole show - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6vGqmaXbtZrlZI

[@RichFrye]

The hands on the hips is the only way to do that windmilling without chancing injury, especially as hard as she goes

[@omarfernandez1620]

4:31 she is acting like a clown cause in that part the lyrics says : ¨smiling like a clown untill the show has come to a end¨

[@berniehand5528]

You will,be amazed at the versatility of this band as you go forward. Even Floor ding the growling.

[@vincesylvestri1033]

ABSOLUTELY!! This show is EPIC!!

I had an terrible Evening and an much more horrible Night. Its 6:56 AM over Here, and now i am ready for an great Day, after youre pure Joy hit me:) Thx Lady:) A midnight flight into Covington Woods A princess and a panther by my side These are Territories I live for I'd still give my everything to love you more RIP Ann, may you lead the Cohorts, wherever your Soul Rest.

Perfect whole flawless Nightwish concerts to react to... Wacken (Vocken) 2013 Wembley Buenos Aires Tampere TRUST ME!!!!

[@davidhill7055]

Good one. One of my favorites. The whole concert would be great

[@emmanx011]

Great reaction 🎉 😘 This song reminds me of our "late general" ANN ❤; and always makes me think of her and send her love... Wherever she's at in the mother's embrace ❤ Nightwish are the first band to SUCCESSFULLY put Classical/Opera sound together with Metal/Heavy Rock sounds. (Freddy Mercury also did this..., but more with "Rock" than Metal.) Many bands have tried but have not been able to CONSISTENTLY be successful. Nightwish, they've inspired a lot of other "Symphonic Metal bands." (Check out Epica with Floor in "Sancta Terra") 😊 Looking forward to your next one... 😋

[@HCH944]

Rest In Peace dear Ann, we will never forget you. Nightwish Army South Germany. Of course I would like to see the whole concert with you Lanae. Rock on Mylady 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@make_m_finland]

I agree! To Ann ❤🕯

[@kreso2606]

You can make reaction to whole concert. You can not miss. ALL songs are amazing. This concert is one of the best concert ever. They have audience in hand from begining to the end. They keep them high with extraordinary songs.

[@amygoodson-catlady]

Greetings from Nightwish Army, Palm Springs, CA! Thank you for praising Marko's vocals! As a veteran here, I suggest you *add* to Gabriel's list, the band's tribute to Pink Floyd with High Hopes, End Of An Era 2005. It's Marko at his best, and a must-see/hear Nightwish song. I would suggest checking out the original 1st... maybe a double reaction? RIP Miss Anne Waychoff. There is a 2nd version of this performance with a memorial tacked on... which is a multi-voiced spoken word poem that is part of the song as it appears on the album. (The words for which you just saw all across the big screen behind the band during this song). YES! Livestream all of Wacken 2013!

[@markusjackel2132]

R.I.P Ann Waychoff mother of the Nightwish Army. June 28th, 2020 This is your song. If you ever have to explain the Groove in Metal to someone - play this tune. Until the Breakdown hits you with a 10 ton hammer it is all fun and games. But then the slow chugging monster with the machine gun riffing takes over. And for every Metal Head this lights up the day. Awesome….Imho one of the best songs ever. Sometimes the sky is piano black…. Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries and Stonehenge, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !

[@elinielsen5556]

At the end you will have reacted to all the numbers in this fantastic concert....there are no songs to miss....🙂 She IS a Godess.

[@RichFrye]

I would suggest doing an entire concert if you like, but try a different concert of theirs, that you have seen none of. They have three other full concert DVD''s with Floor but for you I'd choose Buenos Aires 2018 Floor has tattoos and her costume in that one will blow your mind, seeing as you like the visual aspect of her so much. There is however no bad choices when it comes to Nightwish live ..... \m/

[@pabloragusa]

I concur on Buenos Aires Show! Pretty different setlist, and great crowd!

[@coreydean6540]

The South American crowds are some of the best in the world hands down.

[@bennybuffylove]

Concert is ok, but I would not say her getting the tattoos added anything to her appearance, but causes a distraction. It took away from her beautiful lady appearance from Wacken 2013. She looks a lot better when she has her arms covered, no matter what she does. Look how good SIMONE SIMONS looks, no tattoos. My personal opinion, but lot's of people like tattoos, I just don't understand why they get one's that cover so much of your body.

[@leatherface_75]

Wacken 2013 is a good start before going to other concerts

[@dianabryson5264]

The BluRay ``Storytime Showtime ``is so much better than You Tube. Plus has a great documentary on 2nd disc.

[@dianabryson5264]

Yes, if you have the time do the whole concert. I love when new people discover this band!! I`ve been listening to them for over 15 years. I watch at least one concert, either on DVD or You Tube every saturday night.

[@davidsuttles101]

Great reaction! This a magical concert and to me, this is the best member lineup of Nightwish. No disrespect to the current members!

I concur!

[@tarmotyyri6733]

Thanks for sharing your cats & reaction to a song about recognizing the beauty of life, the importance of love, and the need for empathy and understanding in order to create a better world. P.S. You should also listen to the album version as it's much longer & more meaningful. It's on their 2011 "Imaginaerum" album. Steve Harris, the founder & main composer of Iron Maiden, considers this album one of the best he's ever heard. P.S. R.I.P. Ann Waychoff, who was a big fan & leader of the Nightwish army here on YT & considered this her favorite Nightwish song.

[@Masterlitchuk]

Welcome to the Nightwish Army! I recommend the song '7 Days to the Wolves' if you want gritty, growls and to see how far our favourite Valkyrie in human form Floor can produce you won't be disappointed. Oh, fantastic reactions video(s) and who cares how many times you pause! You do you as they say.

[@user-hc1ij5cz9s]

Another great voice is Sharon den Adel from within temptation she can do a great job

[@Waylander45]

Great reaction Lanae 🙂 Floor is an enchantress - she draws you in, enthralls and seduces you. The whole band is incredible .... they make me grin like a maniac one minute, then bring tears to my eyes the next. Tuomas is a genius of epic proportions, and in Floor (along with the rest of the band) he has the perfect tool to manifest his vision and present something truly extraordinary. Together, they have a way of touching your soul. All the very best from the Canberra Regiment, Australian Division, Nightwish Army.

[@grandad.reacts]

RIP Ann, And there forever remains that change from G to Em

[@Mars-is4un]

One of my very top favorite songs My profile name comes from this song. If you want more Marco try "The Islander" at Tampere.

[@jeffmcilroy7081]

I’m so excited to watch your journey in discovering these guys!

[@RossNixon]

My favorite of their songs.

[@lillianekockritz2796]

Great enthusiastic reaction, I have subsribed to your channel! I just love Floor, her beautiful highly versatile voice (from opera to death metal growls and all between), her beauty and grace combined with so much power and her kind humble personality. Nightwish is my favourite band; all members are outstanding artists who play for the song instead of showing off - no egos on stage. And you can see that they love what they are doing - and each other.

[@mikkis1746]

Love the constant smile during this piece of Nightwish gold!

[@RaymondvanGelderen]

Another sweet reaction. My first concert too. You have a fantastic ride to go girl

[@holgerczubka5453]

4:30 she is pointing at her face because of the songtext "Smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end."

[@satricv]

Its nice to see someone new get excited by one of my favorite bands. I was blessed to see them minus the original drummer(RIP), here in San Antonio a few years back. Had a blast. Also, if you really like her voice, you'll be blown away by her version of Phantom of the Opera with Hank Port, from Beste Zangers, get out the tissues, you'll need them.

[@dragonseye00]

There's a version of this performance that someone made with subtitles and extended with the spoken words part from the studio version. It's a poem with a soft musical backdrop, sad and thoughtful, but it's worth checking it out (not necessarily as a new KZbin reaction, since toy did the sting anyway), because it complements the message of the song perfectly. And yes, you're right. There is no band quite like them. There are still many bands telling stories theory their songs (best example is iron maiden), but nobody young to this extend to make the song being the soundtrack to the story. That's why you, except live) rarely see anyone stand out too much. They are creating a story and seeing a mood. I guess that's why the talent of Empuu is so overlooked, since he's rarely in the spotlight - he mostly does exactly hast a song needs.

[@PaulOutdoors]

Epicness right there on that stage 🙏😊👍♥️

[@kyleehlert3461]

I would watch the whole concert with ya! I watch it all the time anyways.

[@aether13x69]

She puts her hands on her hips as it's proper technique to headbang/windmill without messing up her neck.

[@haroldcrown5541]

Where as this concert is the general gold standard for Nightwish live however certain songs have great performances at other concerts. Very impressive considering Floor was still officially a fill-in singer after the other one left mid tour.

[@frenkwd1]

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. I like very much that Gabriel have continue Ann s work.... so her heritage is still here.

[@hiawatha.g]

They were founded in 1997. Greatest band formed between around 1985 through 2005. That's a 30 year period. Certainly one of my top 5 bands of all time.

Thank you for your great reactions and greetings from Finland, home of Nightwish and northern shamans. I've been on the Nightwish journey for more than twenty years, I've been to Live concerts of each of their vocalists several times, and yet they still impress me. I believe that you have also found a life-long partner... I am looking forward to your first LIVE meeting. It will be incredible and unforgettable. At least I hope we get it one day. Now this shaman of the north goes into the nightless night of midsummer together with millions of like-minded people. Be well.

[@martinklaus2203]

Perfect pronouciation!! well done!!

[@NickBR57]

No 2 in my favourites list. Marco is superb - I love his second entry (the rising gliss) so much I extracted it and have it as my ringtone. Favourite parts: Piano Black , and particularly the best description of depression I've heard - "sometimes the within is piano black". Piano black - that deep glossy black that almost evades the eye. Emppu holding that long note one-handed as he drinks a Corona. The unexpected pauses (rests) towards the end, particularly, in this performance, when Floor turns her hands upwards and the flames seem to come from her palms. Great chuggy rhythms in the breakdown. Little pizzicato string sections in the run-up to that ending. At the end the lead vocals use the same lyrics as the choir are singing in the earlier parts - "All that great heart lying still and slowly dying All that great heart lying still on an angelwing". That lyric is perfect for the staccato rhythm. ...and lots more. You noticed the pointing at her mouth - the accompanying lyric is "smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end". If you are going to do a whole concert, the best of all is Buenos Aires 2018 followed by Wembley 2015, IMO.

[@MilaMan]

I love Tuomas' music, he is our metal Mozart, our national hero in my opinion 🤘I love this song, lyrics, melody, everything. And that Jukka's drumming and his style, I miss him so 🥁Always pleasure seeing him hitting those drums ☺ I have this Wacken 2013 DVD and I highly recommend that or reactinn the whole concert 🤘🤘

[@moniquevanaken2638]

Hi Lanae! Please do the whole concert! It is sooo good! Fyi..during the covid lockdown Floor started het own YT Channel with a lot of funny video's, working in her garden, riding her horse, interviews with other artists etc. That was so welcome in that horrible period! And she is so down to earth and sweet! As NW isn't touring for an unkown period of time Floor has now started a new series called "Coffee, Questions & Answers". You can put questions in the comments and hopefully she will answer them in the video's. The 1st episode is called "The Year That Changed Everything". She went through a lot the last 1,5 years and still going strong! And you get to know her more. Have a nice weekend!

[@busher69]

This is one of my favs - "sometimes within is piano black" - piano black over pristine waters" Are you kidding me? The transition in this song, like so many others, is as close to perfection you can get. There appears to be no end to the brilliance of Tuomas. Floor and the players bring it together to make the magic. BTW, wait till you hear Floor growl, holy smokes she'll give you the chills. Damn, these guys are good.

[@ursmetzger]

I'm all for it! just make it European time zone friendly and on the weekend. I'll be at the Wacken Open Air in July/August ... it's gonna be a blast .... It's a 12 hour drive from my place to Wacken, but I was there in 2006. 2008, 2011, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2019. 2023 we missed it by one hour. the camping ground was closed due to bad weather. now in 2024 we will be there on Sunday till Sunday. It's gonna be a blast.......

[@michaelrainbow4203]

Absolutely. I recommend watching the whole concert. It's powerful

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

I think it is an excellent idea to do the whole concert. In that way you will get a much better experience - you can feel the energi and the bond with the audience. It is very unique between Nightwish and the crowd, because they create a common sound experience with some serious stories as the red line - in cooperation with the crowd. Very few bands are able to do this as well as Nightwish

[@TheMateriaalkunde]

Good choice. A brief taste of Floor's low register

[@arnaldotanta3630]

For Ann, R.I.P. . Ann Waychoff , mother of Nightwish army , we still loving and missing you ❤❤❤🤘🤘

She puts her hands on her hips to keep her balanced while she's windmilling, so she doesn't become dizzy and also so she doesn't injure her neck.

[@Puntonghua]

[@sergerebel]

Might aswell do the whole concert 😂 love reactions,. Also watch the videos of floor at “ beste zangers” and ofcourse the phantom of the opera (Amsterdam version) have a great day

[@tstoeterau]

Welcome to the rabbit hole. Looks like you got hooked too. Really enjoying your reactions. Keep them coming and when you feel ready for the big bang (literally), start eyeing the Greatest Show on Earth in Wembley.

[@kentk2215]

RIP Ann Waycoff. Sometimes the within is piano black. There forever remains the change from G to e minor. My favorite from Wacken. Still many great songs from this concert, including the opener Dark Chest of Wonders and the song after this, the finale, Last Ride of the Day. Then there is a whole set of unbelievably great songs at other shows. You may also want to check out their brand new single and video, Perfume of the Timeless. Keep exploring Nightwish!

Hey lanae, glad you are enjoying the journey so far. Definitely check out the show beste zangers, floor was on it in 2019 and her performances are amazing. All of the other singers are great too especially henk port who sings phantom of the opera with floor
