The one that's catchy | How's the Heart Nightwish Reaction (Album)

[@DarkLinknl]

Tuomas wrote this song for Floor. It's about her and her life with hannes and freja. I love this song:). You should listen to the accoustic version it's amazing.

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

Finally we are here. This is my favorite because I am a simple old softy. I get always a little emotial with this. The message is so beautiful (kindness, caring and Love). If I understand correct the rope means hanging rope and blade means hate. Burn them and come with us. The second verse is inspired by Floor. The acoustic live version is more intimate and emotional and therefore maybe a little bit better. Thank you, Elvann.

[@SynphamyMusic]

I see destroying the rope & the blade as a way to say 'don't do it'. The dance being life, dance some more - hang in there. To be mindful of those that are suffering (drowning) and how simply asking how they are can help and let people know they're cared about.

@DarkLinknl and basicly is the continuation to Élan, every body seems to miss that on their reaction for some reason ^^

[@ChrisPage68]

I love how Tuomas personalised it with the verse about Floor, Hannes and Freja. He obviously respects what she's brought to the band, and wanted to show that. I also think including his own wife on the album shows that Tuomas is in a good place emotionally, although his troubles have spawned some of Nightwish's most powerful songs.

[@petervandieren]

Love this song. The accoustic version sounds even better.

[@forkless]

Agreed, the emotion in that one is even stronger.

[@agustinmanyari]

Peter van Dieren , yes, live versions are the best with Floor!

[@mnewm21]

no knock on Floor's vocals or Troy's playing but the acoustic version is not for me, it is too stripped back. It is ok to listen to. If they kept the oboe or whatever other stringed instrument is used in this version it would have worked better for me as I find the guitar too harsh.

[@ebbenielsen7]

@@mnewm21 I´m with you. Yes it is very intens - but Floor does not get the most out of either the song or her own voice in the acoustic version - and the guitar playing is not that good (sorry to say). All of it works so much better on the studio version.

[@martvil2018]

Such a beautiful song... Tuomas wrote some lines in this song for Floor, like "We met where the cliff greets the sea" (about Hannes and Floor) and "Now there's one who came from me. A child of light, another tale" (about Floors daughter Freja). The emotion really shows in Floor's voice when she sings it, especially in the acoustic version.. Loved the reaction, as always

"Contrast is where Nightwish shines the most" Yes, for the love of God, yes. I have been saying this for years.

[@MYuee]

YES. I always said that too, I do love the contrast in the songs. the experimentation, the heavy, theatrical side and the soft and melancholy one.

[@carpediem5232]

Troy and floor also performed an acoustic session of "How's the Heart" it might be interesting to compare and contrast them to the studio version.

[@AngelesBustamanteM]

I LOVE how at the very end of the song, the instruments go silent, just the voices, and only then we can really hear Marco and Troy, with that humming vibe just as Floor sounds lighter. Awesome contrast ❤

[@m2duebbie]

That ending of intertwining vocals gave me goosebumps! The abundance of detail, craft and talent in each song is staggering and begs multiple listening to catch them. New NW fan, obsessed, and love how each song unwinds differently with each listen!

I am not a musician/singer but have always loved how intriguing music theory/structure is...probably the math nerd in me...and you describe these things very well. I agree that Floor is challenged a lot in this album...not by super high belts or “show off” type vocals but the precision and attention to detail to stay on time/pitch and still deliver the feel/emotion of the song is crazy. This has become probably my second favorite song on this album behind Pan. The acoustic version with just her and Troy I like even better. Stay safe.

[@machintelligence]

There is a blade reference in two other songs on this album. "And a child's face aglow before the scythe" in "Harvest" and "Tip the reaper to ensure The blade is sharp" in "Endlessness" -- both references to death (the grim reaper who carries a scythe.) I think you are right about the rope as there is a line (that Floor never sings) in Ghost Love Score: "Just another loop in the hangman's noose."

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

@@ElvannReacts Yeah!. The Mighty Nightwish attacks now on every fronts. ;- )))

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

machintelligence Those former blade allegories I'll buy. IMHO the rope here means that our protagonist tries to prevent someone to hang him/herself and join the dance with the living and the blade thing is same with the hate. But NW lyrics are often quite hard to digest for a simple man like me. 😉

Thanks Elvann. I think one of the more touching songs on the album. The acoustic version with Floor and Troy is utterly breathtaking.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

I don't what it is, but I have shed tears _every time I have heard this song._ And I believe this is the reason why: To answer the question, I would answer: The heart I once had is now hidden from others, for fear of being betrayed for no other reason than because another can. It has suffered the greatest death a heart can suffer: The end of hope. And though I can still feel something -- anything -- and I may yet shed tears, never shall my heart again hope, because it knows all too well the fragility of hope being shattered like a glass house. "Sorrow hides well in your shell fellow man with hurt to spare"

[@jasonknight1085]

I have come to the conclusion -- after listening to Floor for around a decade now -- that she doesn't actually have a distinction between head voice, mix, and chest. She has so trained her instrument and so mastered the craft, that her transitions atwixt them are all but nonexistent. It's all one voice she can draw upon any aspect of at any given moment without the "pause an reset" that "mere mortal singers" require. It's an essential part of what makes her sound so unique and why it often feels like there isn't a music style she couldn't cover with aplomb. ... and it drives those who try to pigeon-hole her sound utterly nuts.

[@sarahwithstars]

That bridge sounds like it was kept in that lovely mix voice so it was 'light' instead of too 'open' operatic where the lyrical meaning is lost in wider vibrato of longer open vowels. Xx

[@Nonamed70]

Im probably going through the hardest time in my life right now, and I dont have anyone to talk about it because I need to hide how I really feel from the people in my surrounding, cause I need to seem calm and collected, but deep inside I just feel like im choking and this song is really speaking bonds... Nightwish rly never fails.

[@somedigitalist7681]

Another great reaction. I'm really looking forward to your reaction to the live acoustic version. Floor's vocal performance in that one is mind blowing. Floor uses a bit more cord closure and bit lower of a larynx position pretty much everywhere in the song relative to the album version, and the live performance also captures a bunch of little nuances in her vocal that I can't make out in the album version.

Hello Elvann. Another cool reaction. When you said pop, I thought about it when the chorus came on. It is the second most common song on the album, the next is the first (worth the lyrics) but Tribal you should listen to last, it is the most different, not from the album, but from the band's career.

[@renejensen7799]

The refefence to Elan is a good shoot from you, as there is lines in this song going right there.. 2015 - Élan "Meet me where the cliff greets the sea" "Free fall awaits the brave" "Write the lyric for the song only you can understand" 2020 - How's the Heart "We met where the cliff greets the sea Shared a story, took the leap Rose up rooted, hid a note You know where You`ve been there" One of my favorites from the new album, Floor just sound beautiful, and the song, and lyrics is just nice, with or without headphones, this is one i do not skip on the playlist.. Floor have always been strong, she work out everyday, she is the Wonder Women in metal, she got muscles on those arms you know..so that combined with her height, and some of ther outfit she wear, she is close..lol

[@1973Grejluder]

Or The Poet and the Pendulum: "On the shore we sat and hoped Under the same pale moon Whose guiding light chose you Chose you all"

[@machintelligence]

Also the reference to Ghost Love Score: "Show me myself without the shell." How's the Heart: "Sorrow hides well in your shell." And a line from GLS that Floor always omits: "Just another loop in the hangman's noose." How's the Heart: "Burn the rope and dance some more." There may be more; Tuomas is famous for referring to previous songs.

You really should listen to the acoustic version of this that Floor & Troy did for Planet Rock. It is so beautiful in its simplicity (though I expect you might tell us that it is nowhere near as simple/easy as Floor & Troy make it seem!) As to this making Floor an even better singer, I imagine something like this: Everyone: "Wow, Floor can sing absolutely anything...." Tuomas: "Hold my wine." *Tuomas goes off and writes Human :||: Nature. They record it.* Tuomas: "Damn, she CAN!"

I was trying to find a way to describe the tone of mixed voice that's dominantly head. Added up to that it sounded light.

[@hiawatha.g]

I'm not a musical theorist, but I think what you were trying to capture regarding head-voice vs. opera,, is that when she goes into that light head-voice she still has huge reserves of power, which gives it resonance most other singers can't hope to match. Most Western pop singers, male or female, sound squeaky when they use head voice.

I think what you may have been trying to articulate about the difference between head and operatic voices may be that operatic has more resonance and depth to the tone?

In the poet and the pendulum it is about how they were together as a band, and it was destined to be that way ("guiding light (...) chose you all").

I don't know their story, but everyone is fairly sure it's about that. I get that you think that it would be the same person, because it has similarities in the lyrics. In Élan there is also a line about a cliff that greets the sea, and that is also about Floor.
