The Story Behind My Hidden Rock Album

[@GarryKing]

Northward is so good that it deserves a second album!

[@Hydrangea1971]

I'll second that!!

[@andreisabogal6953]

Hell yeah

[@PaulOutdoors]

Floor is back.... Hallelujah. Yes, more Northward please Floor 🙏😊👍❤️

[@BigzampanoXXL]

Thank you Floor. We miss you. have a great 2025.

[@Cellardoor_]

I would love a second Northward album!

[@davidwestwater5900]

2nd that......

[@Fidel_L.Bousquet1970]

YES. I love that album. A second one would be great.

[@marita2g]

Yess!

[@seanchilds9547]

Perhaps another 3 - southward, eastward etc

[@jamesm6377]

YES!!!

[@jesseanime]

Our Queen is back! Just made my day!❤🤘

[@brianstoops4394]

First Floor sighting of the year! So happy to see you!❤

[@geertjanssen8455]

So there you are! Happy New Year Floor!

[@aldopagani1981]

The greatest Floor on earth ❤🇮🇹

[@abstracting6411]

🙂👍👍

[@kaylischasmoorenburg]

Endless forms most taco's 😂

[@TajemniczyKubel]

Northward is an exceptional album, I have it on vinyl and come back to it often.

[@Blablablagailshell123]

I had no idea about this album. Thank goodness for social platforms that bridge the gap between fans and artists. I have a feeling that there are more hidden gems we have yet to explore. I would have never heard of Nightwish which led me to Floor, Revamp, After Forever and even Sabaton and Epica if not for social media exposure. ❤

[@noneofyerbeeswax8194]

Speaking of hidden gems: check out The Gathering with Anneke van Giersbergen if you haven’t yet. “On Most Surfaces”, “Travel” or “Waking Hour” would be a good start.

[@stpfs9281]

There is a Nightwish Family Tree as a poster, more gems to discover.

[@jpdemer5]

Between Floor, her doggo, and that octopus lamp, I'm going to have to watch this three times! 👑🐕

[@stpfs9281]

Was that lamp from the Nemo submarine...?

[@paulmarsh4079]

This album flew under the radio stations radar 🤨 Like it a lot...Big Boy's my favourite track. Need another rock album floor...maybe with lzzy Hale 🤤

[@williamadkins2170]

Love ya, Floor. How are the girls ? I hope they are well. Where is that little Irish wolf hound ? 😂

[@Denver77-vu6bj]

Floor Queen,Princess,Angel,I love this woman...🥰😇

[@rufuspanjaitan5759]

I ❤ every track of that album.

[@NightwishLore]

Hail to the Queen !🌹

[@chrisoberst3531]

This album definitely needs a follow-up! You and Jorn-Viggo have a great musical chemistry. I know those kinds of long-distance collaborations can be complicated.

[@jpdemer5]

The distance is less than it used to be....🙂

[@martijnbontje3989]

@@chrisoberst3531 i certainly agree.i've seen a few solo gigs now and although i really enjoyed it ,i'd would love to hear the northward songs live with Jörn viggo Lofstad

[@spunk88888]

I love the Northward album! To my ears, it is the best "solo" thing you have done so far :)

[@str8edgbmxr641]

Agreed!!!

[@rongarofalo3482]

Lady Floor!!! The greatest of respect to you. Your voice can move me like no one else can!!!

[@jeshjarnehamundpedersen4457]

Nice to see you again. Hope you and your family are well. ❤ Greetings from Denmark.

[@brianfuller757]

Hello queen❤ It's awesome to hear from you again.

[@elangelrancio1623]

Brilliant, it is Nice to see You again in KZbin

[@joaovgr_]

Floor! We miss you so much 🫠🫠 it's great to see you're doing well ❤️

[@Keeble420]

Welcome back 🎉

[@callumwright36]

So great to see you back and looking fantastic as always 😁

[@Джексон-щ2л]

Floor forever!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Drinckx2]

I find this album immensely enjoyable, with plenty of great tracks. The diversity is a strength, not always easy to achieve without awkward tonal shifts. I hope that the next solo album has more of these rock elements that demonstrate the many sides of Floor’s music and character. And maybe a cameo guitar solo from the excellent Jørn Viggo Lofstad on one of the tracks.

[@jpkalishek4586]

Hello Milady Floor, great stuff. Hello pupper!

[@ste-fan-of-Floor]

My world starts to spin again ... FL❤❤R is back ,love always .

[@MrsGod67]

Good to see you back and talking about this fantastic album. It sure deserves more attention as I absolutely love it and I'm sure many others will if they give it a chance. I'd love to hear more of this from you!

[@TheNeelonRokk]

Floor's Muziek Hoekje. Vind ik toch iets lekkerder bekken. 👍 Welkom terug.

[@elenakapogianni5805]

Floor, we missed you a lot ❤❤❤

[@joncolunga673]

0:40 The Doggo is like "Who are you talking to Mommy?" 😂

[@aarolecklin8627]

2025 just got a lot better. Happy to see Floor back in business.

[@124Spider5]

There's NOT A Me Without You - Floor Jansen 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@goldy7678]

Great to hear from you Floor. Wishing you and your family a healthy, happy and prosperous 2025..

[@bettymajoor]

Good to hear from you.

[@LenaDee666]

Happy New Year!!!!

[@hectorsand6800]

It is so great to see you back!! Miss you!

[@marlene-nyx]

From this album, I love the song "Drifting Islands". And if I remember correctly, Irene sang with Floor there! 💖

[@grazita77]

Great to see you back again❤ best wishes for 2025❤

[@h.c.j.springveld2770]

Thanks for coming back with your stories 💌

[@marinamucic908]

Thank you for this insight into your music, what a great way to finish this week and to mark the start of 2025. I hope for a very happy and healthy year for you, Hannes and your family

[@julianacasellas1]

So glad you're back ❤ I miss you so much, Floor! Hope you have an awesome 2025!

[@peevee605]

Floor on the Floor. 🙏✨Jørn Viggo Lofstad is a beast of a player and believe it or not, I’m in touch with him because he’s a guitar hero.

[@negedex]

The album still holds up and is still in my main rotation. Excellent writing and performance. Northward 2...?

[@maxmattt]

Same, absolute banger from start to finish.

[@millersj]

Oh man, I still circle back to this album all the time! It's a lot of fun! It gives me lots of vibes from back in the late 90's and early 00's that I would hear on the radio. So many fun songs to vibe to!

[@janihaavisto79]

Yay, Moikka Floor. Terveisiä Suomesta. And happy New Year to family of Jansen's.... ❤🎉

[@PomLimey]

Loved Northward! Any plans to do a solo show in England? We would love to see you over here.💕

[@dazjackson1972]

It is reassuring to know that even the amazing Floor Jansen, sometimes needs 2 attempts to get the intro right. Always great to see another upload 👍♥️

[@ritawentworth]

Welcome back. Happy New year! Is that an octopus lamp!? And new ink on your leg? Hi puppy. Your new home looks comfy. Thanks for telling us about the album and how it came about. I look forward to seeing you in the next one

[@naruto9121983]

happy new year Floor. thank you for the beautiful video

[@madDdog67]

Thanks for the vid! Awesome pup, but I gotta ask, where is Fenris? Irish Wolfhounds have a special place in my heart \m/

[@leenalaine325]

I thought exactly the same, that where is Fenris.. 🥺🐶🐕❤️

[@TheLassenman]

More of you and Jørn Viggo Lofstad!

[@d.b.8992]

Wheeeee, there you are! Happy new year and thanks for reminding everyone about that really REALLY cool album. 🤘🔥

[@GrabThatOnion]

You look as fabulous as ever, Floor! 👑🎤🎼 Thank you for all that you are and all that you do! 😊

[@chrislee1907]

This is a fantastic album, Floor; one I go back to again and again. Hard to pick a favourite track - there are three or four contenders - but it has to be Northward itself; absolutely epic. It would be incredible if you could bring your solo show to the UK in 2025. With the Nightwish Army here I'm sure you could sell out some shows. (Rock City in Nottingham is a great venue! 😉)

[@nevermore5168]

We have been very patient but well worth it. In fact, we would wait until stars fade just to hear you breathe!🎼💋🤘🌹

[@ÅseBergly-b6d]

Jørn Viggo is one of Norways best guitarplayers🙌🤩

[@johnblanchette4324]

You're a music icon and a lovely human. Thank you ❤

[@barrydunham896]

Great album. Love you Floor

[@Bonovin]

yeehy At last ! wellcome back !

[@StuartAdams]

I've always really enjoyed this album! Thanks for the insight into it

[@billtbodger]

I love the Northward album, which I bought on release, it is certainly different from earlier work even if out of step between writing and recording, I have to say it never got the recognition it truly deserves, big love

[@livianegidius9772]

HAPPY NWE YEAR FLOOR ! to all your family !!!Best wishes to Freya Lucy and Hannes. Love you!

[@mithrandyr-b8y]

I know you, Queen, are so busy in this moment and don´t have the time to give us these great videos, they make us the days better, I of course understand and know that when you are able you will create another beautiful thing for us, greetings from Venezuela in Latin America, keep rocking and stay safe!

[@sylvanrotscheid7498]

I saw the CD at the merch stand during one of Floors' solo concerts a few years ago (I think it was in Groningen). I can't believe it had flown under my radar! It's a magnificent album, absolutely love it. I hope this isn't the last project of this team!

[@jeffwolinski2659]

This project was soooo good, please do another!!!

[@gabrielstevens41]

Great album.

[@typeomaiden4038]

I listened to this album again just a couple of weeks ago. There are some really stellar tracks on here.

[@MHale-]

Hope for you and yours a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year! Thanks for everything

[@ericavantilburg6252]

Thank you dear Floor! Happy and healthy new year to you and your family!❤ I just watched the extended version on Floorworld!🔥 My question would be: would you consider doing another collaboration with an artist again? If yes, which artist would it be?

[@godKiller.369]

Happy New Year from Norway 🖤 May you have all of Odin`s wisdom, Tor`s strength, Frøy`s vitality & Loke`s cunning!

[@Cellardoor_]

I LOVED NORTHWARD! And ReVamp! (And everything Floor and Rock/Metal!)

[@wayneccj0710]

Hi Floor ❤️. It is nice to see you again. While Love Died & Storm In A Glass have been on my Floor Jansen playlist for years now.

[@ooo_Kim_Chi_ooo]

Jorn Viggo is one of my favorite guitarists!

[@eduardoantunes4714]

A fantastic album. I love it

[@HomTendriks]

For me, this album brought out the best in you. I still listen to it a lot.

[@ianknowles8934]

Happy New Year Floor. Have you finally moved again and is that your new place ? Looks very nice

[@PedroElBarbasPE]

That album is AMAZING!!!!!

[@michaelivezic8602]

Happy New Year Floor 🎉 Yeah Floor is back on stage

[@lynsmith1096]

Great you are back Floor

[@cryklewolf]

While Love Died is one of my favorite workout songs.

[@kaylischasmoorenburg]

Hey Floor! I was actually listening to NightWish now😂 cant wait to watch the video! And oh my lord you are back! I love youuu❤

[@AKony]

So good to have you back and see you again ❤

[@dr.barros7612]

Oh Floor, every day I have the privilege of listening to your divine voice, I usually start with After forever, then Revamp or Nightwish and finally My Paragon. Thank you for everything, what a thrill for us fans to see you again.

[@deniselisboa1]

Northward is beautiful, it deserves a sequel :3

[@maxmattt]

Hello Floor, I hope you and your family had an amazing Christmas and I wish you and your family all the best for 2025. ❤🤘❤

[@javirios9234]

Oh we missed you Goddess Floor! Glad to have you back. Keep them coming. Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family. Thank you for being part of the soundtrack of my everyday life from Afer Forever, Revamp, Northward, solo material and of course what let me to you and your out of this world talent, Nightwish. Peace and love!🤙✌️🤘❤

[@mandy-miracle334]

Happy New Year Floor! We missed you and it is great to see that you're back. We want more videos. This will be a great year. I'm super excited for your shows! I have the Northward album on CD and it is awesome.

[@martinpe9tig]

Floor de allerbeste wensen voor 2025 ik kom je tegen tijdens je concerten in dit jaar

[@AnthonyElsom]

Mm, now I want to go revisit that album again..Oh yes, Floor, you look better than ever..

[@EphraimSyriacus]

10 years and I just found it last year, and according to Spotify besides Hiraeth Northwards was my most played song from 2024.

[@see-no-evil92]

Welcome back and happy new year ❤

[@piripi40]

Love your work, Floor. Northward is a strong album.

[@magnusabigor5830]
