Nightwish - Song of Myself LIVE | The Wolf HunterZ Reaction

[@ToddPro]

I've recently found Floor & Nightwish, no clue how I ever missed them, they are amazing AF!

[@robertcraane7910]

Welcome to the ARMY!

[@SandraNelson063]

I found them a few months ago, and my inner 14 yr old girl is still walking into walls and tripping over furniture. Having gibbering hysterics. I'm 57, and thought this sort of thing was long over with!

[@robertcraane7910]

@@SandraNelson063 Hahaha! Nice one Sandra... we had a live stream a few days ago with more then 2000 fans and everyone was over 50, or at least 45.... Glad you found them, and our army... we are a tight and inviting group of people and we gain new members every day! And let your inner girl out, we are here, and we still love our music!

[@jamesanderson5268]

The same here.

I have been a Nightwish fan for years now. I love watching others enjoying them. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@alegotik87]

Me too lol

[@minorindiscretion]

This, for me, is one of Nightwish's finest hours. Deep, dark, moody perfection.

[@TheLiger30]

Since you liked Marco Hietala so much, some of your next reactions definitely need to be "The Islander" from the live in Tampere 2015, and "While your lips are still red" from Wembley. I'm sure you will appreciate!

[@SandraNelson063]

Oh, how about High Hopes! That one makes me damp behind the knees!

[@juhanikyllonen1899]

Oh yes. Both of those and something from his other (previous) band Tarot. He also released a solo album in English last year.

[@malyvo0]

Or, as they mentioned they never reacted to their official music video, islander is great for that purpose as well....

@@juhanikyllonen1899 Seconded. I think Undead Indeed is on KZbin in its entirety.

Or Stones maybe

[@arnaldotanta3630]

The 16 song in the show ,after ghost love score and before last ride of the day , and feel the power in her voice.

[@mr.bluebird6544]

One of my favorites from Nightwish! Slow and heavy with soaring vocals...perfection.

[@stacylamay1490]

This song is based on "Song of Myself" from "Leaves of Grass" by Walt Whitman. The original was on the Imaginarium album and was the 2nd album released while Anette Olzon was with the band. The original was probably 14 minutes long, as after the singing was all done, there were symphonic metal orchestrations and "narrations".

[@monicacarolina6480]

One of my favorites....but an extremely dark song, dark lyrics. The extended version is beautiful, with spoken words, poems, by some bandmembers, parents of Tuomas and his wife. RAW!!

[@mattgraham2835]

these professional and extremely creative musicians sounds fantastic definitely showcases what kind of music this band is capable of composing

[@platonicdescartes]

I can't wait until you get to "Ghost River" and "Storytime" from this same concert. "Ever Dream" you have already reacted to, and those three songs were right in a row. My favorite set of all the concerts I've seen from Nightwish.

[@whiskeymike7364]

Play the whole concert! It is available.

[@marcmorton1439]

Nice reaction! This was the song that was immediately after GLS. Most of the lyrics for this song where taken from the lengthy poem 'Song of Myself' by the American Poet Laureate, Walt Whitman, circa 1892.

[@constantinmiclea3955]

"Body surfing" are referred to as "Offerings" (to the band) in Europe.

[@whiskeymike7364]

Huh. I'd been told that it was the queue for the rest rooms.

[@bert2673]

[@GunChronicles]

Okay people, it's official. It's no longer crowd surfing. It's body surfing. Learn it. Know it. LIVE IT! :-)

[@black4pienus]

This is probably my favorite Nightwish song. The combination of Floor and Marco's voices. The combination of double kick and the choir. The breakdown. And not weird you hear Metallica in the second half. Tuomas has always been a huge fan of them.

Such an Amazing melodic symphonic metal band

Queen Floor Jansen , not official front vocalist to the band , then back in 2013 in Wacken concert , nailed all the songs..'' Pirate '' Jukka Nevalainen , the original drummer , darn , kills the drumming parts ! Miss you Jukka!

[@pretzeldip7234]

If you would like to see a music video you could try "Noise" from their latest album. Greatest thing about it is that nobody can shout at you "You should have done the live one!" because there simply has not been a live performance for this one yet ;-)

[@tomtom7459]

When I first saw this show I was tottaly blown away I had never heard night wish before I just couldn't believe what I was hearing that was 3 years ago and when I heard this song I don't think I've heard anything so melodic or so heavy this is my fav performance by this unbelievable band but that not to say I don't like the rest because I absolutely do and another great reaction by you guys when you become world famous and tour round the UK I will be getting a ticket good job guys you are so genuine and always look like your having a good time ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥💥

[@Syp74]

One of my favorite reaction duo'sare at it....afain...boy you are on fire. Official video's not live... Bye bye beautifull, Noise, Endless forms most beautiful. The whole new album has lyric video's and they are good 👍 This is a big song, not only very good, but has a special meaning for the community. 🤪 Bodysurfing 🤣 Yep, that covers it! 😋 Yep that ending is very well done! Thnx again, as always a pleasure to watch you bith react to awesome music... Have fun, till the next! 🖐

[@allenjohnstone9945]

One of my favourite songs. Dead boys poem from the decades tour next.

[@smitty7532]

I love how much you all take so much pleasure in their sound. Your smiles are infectious

[@ryandellavecchia9349]

You guys would have a lot of fun reacting to “I want my tears back” live at Buenos Aires. A totally different side of floor and an amazing crowd.

[@whirledpeaz5758]

Nightwish is so badass, they take a breakdown and turn it into a verse. (Or so I learned from Chase Carneson)

[@yvonnecampbell7036]

Off course they did.......;)

[@marshalljackson9796]

I've learned a lot from Chase.

[@Songfugel]

I personally think this is best Floor era performance. It has everything but growls, so addicting beat, Marko singing and Floor's amazing movements sync'ed to the pyro

[@lilo5437]

If you’re going to react to a music video, you should do Noise!

[@MrKebo87]

The Metallica sound you hear, is from One the heavy part before the solo. ;) Just a little bit changed

[@gyqz]

For more female powerhouse duets please check out Epica's "Stabat Mater Dolorosa" with Floor Jansen. I think one of you will have a tear or two, by the shear beauty of their performance. Thank you for this amazing video!

[@fixxa6455]

Aaaaaaaandddd another floorgasm here!

[@eddiehesselman3904]

Again a supercool reaction video. Now it's time for Devil & the Deep Dark Ocean and I Want My Tears Back both from live at Buenos Aires. I'm very curious how you 2 react because you are emotional the best in my opinion. Kind regards from the Netherlands 🐺🐺🤘

[@lost_in_a_crowd_of_3257]

one thing that i've noticed about this performance is that Floor dips really low. i know a tenor that can't hit that note very well. i'm a baritone and she's in my territory

[@Alkvaarder]

I only watch and listen on Spotify the live registrations of Nightwish. They bring live so much more stagepresence and of course the pyro effects incorporated in the rythm of the songs.

Y'all need to watch The Islander at Tampere. It's a Marco-fronted song and gives you a totally new appreciation of his vocal ability.

If you want to see an amazing Nightwish video (non-live) go with Noise from their latest albums, it's pretty awesome and so are you guys! Cheers

[@bkeyser]

I'm a musical ... idiot ... is probably the best word. Know nothing about it except what sounds good to my ears. But I wonder if you guys, being musicians, ever see something or hear something in these videos and think, "We've gotta do that!" Would seem hard not to, I'd think. Also, you really seem to have fun doing these, which is awesome. Fun to watch. 👍

[@stamasd8500]

Floor has many fans including a large Floor fan. :) They almost got you there at the end, hehe. This is definitely in the top 3 favorite NW songs of mine. BTW this is inspired by Walt Whitman's poem. There are a lot more lyrics to this song than are being sung. The rest scroll during the performance on the giant screen behind the band. Check them out.

Your boy Sonny reacted to this whole concert. EPIC!

[@lujalainen1]

this really ominous song hmmm melody. they look up metallica and that´s why they put metallica vibes they song sometimes,like they put pantera,van halen and many more vibes they song. thanx to great body surfing reaction :) great new day there both.

[@videoluvr2]

Love you both - you crack me up! LOL. Keep up the great reactions.

[@Doktor_Apokalypse]

Just got to your reaction to this amazing track. I love watching your faces. If you like these Nightwish songs and want a movie to watch on your downtime, try and find a copy of the movie/musical 'Imaginaerum' that this track is from. A Symphonic Metal Fairy Tale. Beautiful, sad, scary and happy. Had me close to tears in a few places. I think you'll really appreciate it.

[@anderslofgren8235]

I hope you will discover the mastery that is Weak Fantasy, live from Tampere...

[@christophercollins9333]

You two would enjoy WF immensely- very hard and heavy musically and in context.. often overlooked masterpiece.

This song was inspired by a Walt Whitman poem of the same name. They almost left you hanging at the end! Well done once again Wolf Hunterz! Peace.

[@tableditor]

i enjoyed that Reaction very much❤️

[@goesman81]

@ the wolf hunters , tuomas wrote Song of my self while recovering from his depressive phase over the dark passion play era. The song ist heavily inspired by Walt Whitman’s poem with the same title, Tuomas often often calls Whitman “my hero uncle Walt” like robin Williams in the “dead poets society “. I posted an alternate video to song of my self under the poet and the pendulum reaction, it is the album version wich contains letters and diarys entry from tuomas and his friends while he recovered and read by some of his friends including a then session musician for Nightwish called troy donockly

[@susannaahola7641]

Thank you 😘

[@sonosoloio]

And the forever remains the change from G to Em. 🤘 R.I.P. Ann 🤘 I love the Album version (ofc the live version is awesome too 😉 ). Check it out if you want, the 6-minute-ending gives it a much deeper meaning.

Omg hahahahaha

[@bohammar3559]

I got the Wacken 2013 DVD a while back, have watched it several times and I have not been able to see any moshing at all during the whole concert. Lots of crowd surfing though, all the time. The best explanation I've heard is that the crowd surfers are offerings brought forward to the band. Btw, the documentary "Please Learn The Set List In 48 Hours" comes as a bonus DVD with the Wacken 2013 DVD. You can find that documentary on YT but it's a bit grainy and hard to see the subtitles. Much easier to read the text if you have it on DVD. Cheers / B.

[@helenespaulding9372]

You can find many official videos if you listen to their new album which was just released.......in May I think. Nothing live because no touring now. The album is a masterpiece....but you need to listen to songs in order if you do.

[@MrSkullHead1250]

You mentioned they sound like metallica a bit, that is no coincidence, they are huge fans of metallica, and draw some inspiration from them, and you can hear that in some of their music.

[@richardgoddard37]

You'll find the other half of this song on the album. They can't do it live as the vocals are recorded by family and friends of the band and crew (and Troy before he joined as a full member) It's a beautiful, thought provoking poem over some of the most beautiful music Tuomas has written, and well worth a listen.

[@Magyarkhan]

My Queen summoned me!

[@korvkioskshelvete]

Metallica is one of Tuomas big influences, along with Disney movie scores.

[@rawanjensen102]

I have a feeling you guys would enjoy Nightwish’s movie “imaginaerum” (after their album of the same name). The band produces it and plays in it as well, and you’ll get to see the intermediate signer between Tarja and Floor (Anette was pretty good on record, but live shows were NOT her forte; however, her voice shines through in that recorded album and in the movie).

[@v-mp2557]
