Floor came from Asgard as a Valkyrie

[@billattercliffe8655]

Very good job. A few things: - The instrument you heard is a hammered dulcimer and it is referred to in the song a few times. - The male vocalist is Troy Donockley, their multi-instrumentalist. Listen again and you'll hear Marko the bassist panned left and Floor panned right. - The song opens with the musical representation of a rocket taking off. - The drums at times are meant to sound like an asteroid bombardment as Shoemaker, among other things, studied craters. - The quote from Shakespeare was inscribed on Shoemaker's urn on the Lunar Prospector mission that was deliberately impacted in a crater named after him. - Floor had a year studying opera at the conservatory and a year of studying musical theatre in addition to four years of study at the Rock Academy. This training allows her to swing from opera to death metal screams and growls, plus cross genres with ease. She can go from a growl to opera in the span of a single note. - This song required a high level of vocal agility from Floor as well as extraordinary breath control to be able to sing those long, difficult phrases on a single breath. - Tuomas Holopainen is often referred to as the "Metal Mozart" and we can hear why in songs like this one. Now you need to hear Floor go over to the dark side. "Yours is an Empty Hope" Wembley 2015 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKqvpIhthphmac0

[@pen7759]

I appreciate those words of yours! Thank you Bill.

[@phillee2814]

I wouldn't like to guess at whether it is n actual acoustic hammered dulcimer or sampled and played through Tuomas' keyboard. If sampled, it is very well sampled. I can't tell and I've heard the real thing. Why would it not surprise me if Troy can play the hammered dulcimer? He does seem to be able to play just about anything he is called on to play, including some pretty unusual ones.

[@billattercliffe8655]

@@phillee2814 I've thought the same thing - can't tell if it is real or sampled. The one thing we have to recognize though, the mind capable of considering the use of a dulcimer in a metal song.

[@R---66---R]

@@phillee2814 I could imagine where there would be a perfect setting in a large cathedral, where Tuomas plays the grand pipes, Troy a harp and our Floor growling!

[@phillee2814]

@@R---66---R I much prefer growls reserved for occasional effect - like in Ghost River - as a contrast to otherwise clean vocals with and without fry - and Floor has enough range of textures in her voice for you never to know what is coming even then! I'm not sure how well cathedral acoustics would work with a drumkit, either. Guitar would probably be fine, although faster passages might become jumbled. Traditionally constructed cathedrals are built as huge sounding boxes, to allow an unamplified human voice to reach a large number of people, but you have to do it slowly and enunciate very clearly for it not to become a fog of echoes. Music has to move slowly between keys with carefully crafted transitions to avoid becoming a discordant mess. That is why, to modern ears, traditional church music sounds rather predictable, slow and even ponderous.

[@Amaranthos2]

Always love seeing intellectual people react to Shoemaker, and you didn't disappoint! You've already been visited by Gabe so I know you've got a list three miles long in addition to requests, but check out Endlessness when you get time. It's a Marko special, and as the last song on the last album the band put out before his recent resignation, the lyrics pack more punch than usual. "...Tip the reaper to ensure the blade is sharp..." After seeing your thoughts on Shoemaker here, I feel like you'd get quite a bit out of Endlessness.

[@pen7759]

YES absolutely Endlessness

[@alexg6374]

Intellectual???? Calling a hammered dulcimer... A harp??? Looool

The singer, Floor Jansen, was on a show called Best Zangers with Henk Poort and they sand Phantom of the Opera. It was amazing. You should react to that.

[@tea_time_t]

You're the first person I've seen who knew it was about Eugene Shoemaker. This is an ode to him and a sort of prayer that others may join him in the stars. It makes me cry every time I listen to it.

[@Idefixu]

Great reaction, thank you! This song, masterpiece, is from the latest Nightwish album. Never performed live yet, bue to COVID-19. Nightwish will perform two live stream concerts May 28th (for Europe) and May 29th (for the rest of the world). Both can be watched no matter where you are. I'm gonna watch both concerts even though the second concert starts 3am Finland time or something like that. Available to be watched for 48 hours after the stream ends. USGS,The US Geological Survey, noticed the song Shoemaker on it's internet pages. The Shakespeare quote was read by Tuomas' wife, Johanna Kurkela, who is a vocalist too. I wish you would at some point react to Tuomas solo album from 2014. I'm not going to even say the name of the album, so I will not spoil the surprise. I suggest you react to the song "A Lifetime of Adventure" official music video. "The Greatest Show on Earth" is a must react to masterpiece. Preferably the Tampere 2015 version. Wembley version has it's merits too, but you could watch it on your own, or react to it too, (I would not mind), later. Hello again from Helsinki!

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Going to add to this bit of info. In Pennsylvania, USA, Nightwish has a part of a state park named Alpenglow, which is a site of ancient and historic discovery.

[@bm625]

Your thumbnail says "This is a Masterpiece". Actually this is one masterpiece among the many Nightwish masterpieces.

[@svolos1971]

The degree of depth, feel, compositional breadth and creativity, execution cohesiveness, musicianship and artistic expression in Nightwish's art form (notice I did not use the word songs as it fails miserably to convey any meaning) is staggering. Every lyric, cord and key shift is meticulously planned and executed and supported by meaningful and worth-exploring lyrics. Nothing is done in vain. Everything has its place in the whole structure. Every single one of them is a world-class musician/vocalist but they all check their egos at the door and solely serve the music and its needs. We, the lucky ones who discovered them early on in the 90s, have been spoiled rotten to the point that it is almost impossible to listen to any other music without making the comparison and realizing that the pastures are always more lush and greener in Nightwish musical land.

Late to reply, but I found Nightwish thanks to KZbin. Saw a random reaction video and was amazed, and then I found your channel and others and they became my favorite band of all time. I went to see them live this past May in NYC. I knew most of their catalog. I had seen most of the songs on KZbin so many times. I thought I was prepared. Then this song was in the set list and I didn't know it. I was not prepared. It came to the operatic part at the end, and it was of a scale of sound 10x this studio recording. I was literally stunned. The most amazing show I have seen in my life. Any more Nightwish is welcome, my friend. Everything they do is amazing.

Why it was named Shoemaker? You would need a better understand of Nightwish and their history and beliefs. You will get that understand from listening to more of their music and doing a little reading about them. I started listening to them about 7-8 months ago. They started back in 1996, and I wondered why I had never heard of them. I still don't know why, but I am glad that I have now. My best description is that they are a "thinking persons symphonic metal group". They manage to evoke emotions that surprise you overwhelmingly. Continue your experience with them and your appreciation will grow. Like it or not, you may find a tear or two from time to time.

MrLBoyd: "they cannot surprise me anymore" Tuomas: ok sir hold my beer!

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

A few facts on the table: Yes this is a masterpiece - and there are more in that category coming your way 😉 The ending, Floor going operatic - Floor and Tuomas recorded it several times before they were ok with it. Then Floor went home to Sweden - but she didn't have the right gut feeling. So she rehearsed it again, recorded it in her homestudio, sent ir to Tuomas, blew his head clean off as usual - and this is the ending you hear on the record. Floor is even more of a perfectionist than Tuomas - she just pratice, rehearse and keeps on until she is satisfied with her own performance. What an artist. Next one as a natural follow-up on this one: 1. Google "The Greatest Show on Earth", the book by Richard Dawkins, and read the description. 2. The Greatest Show on Earth, Tampere 2015 - this song is the book, 4,6 billion years of evolution in 24 minutes - THAT'S a masterpiece as well.... 3. Stay on until the video is completely finished - the speaking afterwards are an important part of the song - and it is Richard Dawkins speaking!!! *** Tuomas, Troy and Floor all wanted to be Biologists when they grew up - and Marko is a lengend in Astronomy and evolution, like the 3 others. Tuomas is not just writing songs - the songs (wrapped in poetry), have deep thoughts underneath - and Floor is not just singing a song - she is performing a story - she is the combination of the music and the lyrics on stage. These 6 people are artist, performing as one "unit" - no one overdoing anything - and everything is done intentionally to give the audience the perfect experience. But you will experience this on your Nightwish journey into the Nightwish Universe. Greetings from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 👍 💪 🤘 🤘 🤘

Love your reaction and how deeply you were moved by this spectacular performance. You are absolutely right to describe what they do as 'opera.' My musical roots are definitely not in this genre. But, the first time I heard Nightwish and Floor perform Ghost Love Score, I became convinced that Symphonic Metal is the new opera! What they do consistently amazes me and reduces me to tears of delight. When this particular piece moved into the operatic "Laudate" section, I welled up in tears of joy!! Have an amazing day!!!

[@constantinmiclea3955]

Tuomas Holopainen the keyboardist and the main music composer paints musical masterpieces. He's considered a modern day Mozart, but I also like to think of him as the offspring of Leonardo da Vinci. It also doesn't hurt to have a magical paintbrush in Floor. As far as I'm concerned her vocal talents/versatility, stage presence and emotional delivery of every word she sings make her a living legend.

[@johnstroup3868]

OK. I fought it the whole time, but when you said of Shoemaker's family, "Now they have this song," there were tears. Nice reaction. And, it's kind of brilliant that you remembered who Shoemaker was without a ton of research.

[@alejandromoya7]

Great reaction!!! In the future you will check "Tribal", another Nightwish song of the last album (Human||Nature); is a mater-piece, too!!!

[@MrOriginalname123]

Damn man you got a broad range of taste in music that matches mine. Been a big nightwish fan for a long time love the diversity.

[@liefde1911]

Yes, you’re right! It’s brilliant.........

[@Enjoysilence69]

"Greatest Show on earth" Live. should be played on every space probe we send out.

[@juanmendez3770]

You are spot on. This song is about Eugene Shoemaker. Liked and subscribed. Greetings from Alabama.

[@robertocortez2124]

Great reaction MrLboyd Tuomas is a genious, only a genious can create a masterpiece, and keeping the level in each song. the magnificent beauty of the arrangment is obvious (shares the same arrangement quality of Shoemaker in: ghost love score, the greatest show on earth, the poet and the pendulum) I only imagine the live performance of Shoemaker, Keep enjoying with Nightwish 's art MrLboyd

Very great reaction,i can see the emotion 👍👌 The whole album is perfect,the more you listen to it the better it becomes. Kind regards from the Netherlands and stay healthy ❤

Absolutely exquisite, true soprano voice with a richness and perfection that is rare. I would love it if Floor did a cover of an operatic aria, one of the lesser known ones. I just love the depth of layers to their music and storytelling. It's pure genius and so marvelous in our eyes :)

[@heedoei]

Check out “stabat mater” Epica featuring Floor Jansen 🙂

[@brennieb78]

she's done o mio babbino caro a few years back, also on Beste Zangers she's done Vilja lied in 2019

[@phillee2814]

@@heedoei In which Simone sings the soprano part and Floor sings the alto - which partly explains the richness of her soprano voice. As it extends over so wide a range, there are sub-harmonics in there which are well below those achievable by most sopranos.

[@SuperMoofie]

@@brennieb78 Thanks brennie :) I've seen those :) The former is quite popular, and been done many times by many other people. I would like to see her do a lesser known aria or piece :)

[@leeabrook13]

Thank you. Excellent reaction.

[@seanstevenson9891]

Great reaction. Subscribed and dinged. Keep on Nightwishing on. 🤘😜🤘

[@mattrogers8280]

I’ve never heard of them before. THANK YOU! Yes very amazing

[@MrGeirPaulsen]

Get ready for a journey!

[@paulriddle7818]

Welcome aboard. Dive in! You will love this amazing rabbit hole.

[@draug7966]

Welcome to Nightwish, enjoy the ride!

[@music2seeconcertphotograph457]

To experience more of their range you might next listen to three more songs from this album: "Harvest" --> Folk "Tribal" --> Heavy "Pan" --> Wild Ride

[@didierblasco2126]

already subscribed ...But this was so beautiful to see you reacting to this masterpiece, your heart moved with the flow of passion and beauty.

[@sheriffbart616]

I love their song "music" off the same album!!! You should do that one next.

[@mooncritter721]

It leaves you speechless. That is NIGHTWISH!

[@johngialluca6025]

This whole album is solid. Music and Procession are especially nice. NW got a lot of flack from fans who thought the new album is a radical departure from that has been traditional Nightwish. I’ve been listening to this band for almost 20 years. This album is a continuation or a tying together of all of the eras of Nightwish. I cannot wait to see their virtual concert at the end of May.

[@gonzalohernandez1910]

Awesome! if you dont Know...the last part of the song, the singer girl are tuomas wife, her name is "Johanna Kurkela. Incredible...

[@bertbouwhuis]

I was blessed to hear Floor do this live!!! Beyond epic!

[@godkwabu]

Bro,you are a small metal cub that have just opened his eyes in the world of metal music.There are so many wonders out there waiting for you!Just hang around!

[@zoeystar4668]

Yes. They are performing much larger than life compositions.. All their music, or most of it at least is very deep with deep meaning while educational. I never knew who shoemaker was and that his urn is buried on the moon. Incredible

[@stefancampagnolo2360]

If you want to go back to live perfomances, you should react to the 2 masterpieces "The Poet and the Pendulum" live at Wembley (good to make a minimum of pre-research to understand the very deep meaning of the song and the context) and "The Greatest Show on Earth" live at Tempere. It will surely be a pleasure to see your reaction to these artworks :-)

[@mannistef]

Thanks for checking this one out. For me the overall message of "to the stars" gets to me, we need to find a way to do that as mankind.
