[@user-ug7xq5do3r]

I hope you are doing better since the moment u leave the comment. Sone pains feel so overwhelming that it can look like it never goes away. Hurting loss of love one, family member, or close person, usually pain dont actually fully go away. It just changes form. It is possible and i think that quite natural that u kinda learn to live with it. One person said,who had lost her child, that pain is going to stay with u forever, but it is "evolving" for such form that u van learn to cope with it. She said, since it was more than 10 years ago when that happen to her, that her pain was that time in such form that it kinda represented her child, and she said she dont want it ever go away, as it was representing her child, and her love towards him. I dont know your situation. I just want to share that, hoping that some day somebody can see it, and possibly help in difficulty moment at least very little, its still worth it. All the best for you and strenght❤

For me, this is the best Nightwish song.

[@polyphonium]

I just checked out the original album version of this song. The vocals are clean, accurate, and beautiful. But here, Floor brings so much more nuance and emotion, employing her array of technique to breathe new life into the song. The "Pacific" section is absolutely stunning! Her phrasing and vocal formant shaping is spot on, and she's allowing space for the cello to carry the song in this delicate passage. She thins out her voice in just the right places to create a gentle sensitivity that's like a warm embrace for your brain stem. Then moving to the lower register she brings a resonance and power that is deeply moving. She's found the distinction between singing the notes and singing the music, and it shows. Tuomas appears to notice this (his expression at 5:42 suggests that he's feeling it big time). To write such an amazing song is an accomplishment in itself, but to have it sung so beautifully must feel like a true gift. It certainly is a gift for us!

[@michaelvedal1907]

Not to rain on your parade here, but no, she just made it hers. Floor has excellent power over her voice, but its not hard to hear that she lacks something the original had. The raw passion, the soul and the emotion of "living" the song. Floor performs it to pitch perfection yes, but lacking the essential things that is supposed to make you feel it, it comes off as merely a performance. The song wasn't made for Floor at all, and they chose to change it to make it more "Floor"ish if you will. That is all well and good, but it still lacks the essentials. Sorry, but that is a fact. Other than that, of course, its a solid performance.

[@polyphonium]

@@michaelvedal1907 Of course Floor's version is a performance, and it will always be different than the original as sung by a completely different person. While "living the song" seems more like Tuomas's domain than anyone's, I think Floor brought a lot of emotion to her version with her vocal inflection choices. But your milage may vary, and that's okay. While it is natural to compare one vocalist to another when they've been part of the same band, I think each of them will reach some of us more than others, possibly on different tracks. Many fans seem to want to approach this from a "Sammy vs. David Lee Roth" arch-rivalry perspective, but I think that while I do have my favorite Nightwish female vocalist, each one they've had brought something to the band throughout their evolution. That's worth celebrating. :) Cheers!

[@brandonmaxwell1549]

@@michaelvedal1907 Floor has plenty (I'd even say much more) passion and emotion in this song. Thus, she does not lack anything, especially not anything essential, in fact I'd say the song is finally living to its fullest potential. It wasn't changed at all, here it's actually performed closer to the studio original thanks to Floor's capabilities.

At the end of “Dark Passion Play” and at the beginning of “Mother and Father”, you hear the sound of the blade and then a few heart beats.

[@patagoniaremises1216]

There are no words. I've never heard such a female voice.

[@EsoxLucius21]

Gábor Palancsa you are so right. This band is amazing. I like most of the songs, love how she head bangs with her hair!

[@Harolddespui]

Welcome to the Floor Jansen fanclub

Floor is from another planet....cannot be human. She is out,of this world. I could listen to her 24/7.

[@fredpeterson1030]

All I can say is WOW! Floor as one hell of a Voice.

[@leodlibes4946]

Floor Jansen, stay with Nightwish... you are Goddess

[@diegoalvarez8271]

[@carolienroosje329]

Floor wat ben jij een geweldig zangeres, een echte aanwinst voor Nightwish.

[@weibsvolken7150]

10 years after it was written, this song comes to its conclusion. Thank you, Floor!

[@MasterrMisterr]

Impossible to hold back the tears ... how beautiful a song can be ... Nigthwish is one of the best bands of all time! ...

[@Chareeferrari]

I may be a baby on my NW journey, but maaaan, am I happy I'm on it 😍

[@inspireandconqwr]

I tried to watch the live version with Annette, but I was unable to finish it; I needed it to switch to this version. Annette is a good singer, but Floor is a goddess.

[@lizzyq7807]

Annette's version is decent, but floors version hits the stratosphere!

[@berkalpsahin5690]

Tuomas is a magician, Marco is a thunder, Floor is a goddess. Nightwish is the best love in this fuckin life!

[@doloresdjukaric3142]

Floor with a voice of a white angel and a black and strong explosion in once. Unbelievable. With a fascinating background of the best musicons I heard.

[@philmole1209]

I just discovered this band today and am completely blown away.

[@dougmphilly]

Phil mole where have you been for the last 20 years?

[@kristenpendergraft3725]

It’s a beautiful thing! Welcome!

[@guidoheuts]

Damn! This really is the "Bohemian Rhapsody" of Tuomas Holopainen, like Freddie Mercury's epic masterpiece. No one really knows excactly what both songs are about. Both tracks give us some clues, but no one really can tie them all together. A given is, that both of these epic pieces need epic end versitile singers like Freddie Mercury, and his female equivilent, Floor Jansen. "The Valkyrie".

[@L.T.L.T.L.T.]

If you google (or read the KZbin comments) you know what this dong is really about...... but it's very poetic......and the 3 min. reference is brilliant.... exactly 3 minutes later.....

[@AllanRoberto2711]

We do know. Its about Tuomas depression after Tarja left the band. He suffered a lot because of fans criticizing him from every direction

[@J_e_s_s_i_c_a_]

I agree totally.. This and Bohemian Rhapsody hit me deeply.. I swear this song is my life narrated in words..

[@carlotta4th]

The song says exactly what it's about though, just look up the lyrics. I mean--it even says the poet's name it can't get more blatant than that!

[@luisgervasio4849]

This is just beatifull... what a voice Floor!

[@distantraven2566]

Everyone in Nightwish is amazing. You dont create this amazing music with the force of one but with the composition of one of The best musicians in the world.

[@iwaruswandi7345]

What a Magnificent Arrangements, only genius man can do that..... Tuomas is a mastermind.

[@vbzwd24]

Floor really has a heavenly voice...mixed with the metal music this song is epic...out of this world😍

[@gohner0]

Nightwish is fuckin' awesome, Tuomas is a genius, Floor hits my soul with her singing. #floorgasm

[@jamesanderson5268]

This fucking song makes me cry every time. Yet I can't stop listening to it.

[@magaisacult2023]

I'm 63, grew up on CSNY, Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor. Not a "hard rock" or metal fan, but Nightwish is a group of MEGATALENTED individuals. Who could not appreciate that?

[@mylife3350]

so young i am 93 !

[@amandagarten9793]

i'm 18, grew up in a world of wrong but was saved by my mother. Music brings us together, showing us that we all are not completely different. My mother showed me everything from frank sanatra(know i spelled that worng ugh) to the cranberries and i have gone from there, landing myself here.

I'm 54 and here i am 😌
