VOCAL COACH REACTS - NIGHTWISH - The Poet And The Pendulum

Trinkies!
This is one of my longest videos to date. Nightwish and their fascinating symphonic metal just didnt let me sleep at night. The Poet and The Pendulum was fantastic, this couldnt be better first time reaction. My second degree is Masters in Dramaturgy so I got a bit into that from that side too, sorry haha. We are now back to beginnings of vocal coach reacts on my channel and also back to beautiful Floor Jansen!

Katriinka you are reacting on one of our mostly loved NW songs! Thank you so much! Love your video

Nice girl... great one... can't wait till the 25 min of Greatest Show on Earth.... There you'll see Floor belting like never before... exhausting just to watch... 25 min after the entire show, last song... E5 F5 G5 phrases with more than 10 seconds each... over and over again... the name is perfect for the song. Make sure you get the one with lyrics and fireworks from Tampere.

[@19AngelsSorrow89]

@@deed5811 "Lyrics and music by Tuomas Holopainen." It's written behind almost every song of them. So yes, he's a composer and probably one of the best these decades had, but he's also a song writer and very obvious not a bad one, either.

[@robertsheeler321]

This song was wrote by Tuomas Holopainen (Keyboard & Composer) after the band got rid of there 1st singer and he was so depressed he committed on stage suicide instead of real life . The last part where she is sitting with Emppu & Marco that verse was words said to him by his mother & father in real life, & at the very end Emmpu & Marco stand next to Tuomas for support .Nightwish fans are very sensitive about this song . now the Greatest Show on Earth should be your next reaction by them it shows Floor's skills even more

[@xeleelex146]

depressed due to the enormous backlash from fans, media, industry and critics for the ugly manner of disassociation..everyone seems to miss this essential point point

[@DocPeril]

You are the first person I have seen comment on the remaining original members of the band going to stand with Tuomas. The moon "... chose you all..." and she gestures at the audience. Tuomas decided that the moon chose the fans, the music and the band over the one person he loved. 15 years later, Emppu and Marco still stand by him and his decision. Not just for emotional support, but in solidarity for his choice and his sacrifice. If keeping Tarja destroyed the band, we would not have this performance. Tuomas chose us all. There are not enough thanks for him.

[@doyle590]

Toumas even tells the soundguy to cut out he lyrics in his earpieces on this song becouse it gets to him so much.

[@darkiee69]

Floors "operatic" part was originally sung by the same boy soprano who sang the first part. Anette, who was the original singer of this piece couldn't sing that part. When Floor became a member of the band she told Tuomas she could sing them both. Tuomas kept the intro but let Floor sing the "Pacific" part. And it's not the same boy that does the spoken word as the one who sings. But they're from the same choir. This is a five part piece. "The white lands of Empathica" The boy soprano. The name is a reference to one of the places is Stephen Kings Dark Tower series of books. "Home" Tuomas describes the reasons for his depression: "A widowed writer" He lost his musical "Wife". his muse. "A poet without a rime" He got writers block "The pacific" "Under the same pale moon that chose you" If I remember correct Tuomas, Tarja and Emppu had a night timebarbecue at a lake in Finland when they decided to form Nightwish. "Dark passion play" Describes how fans and the press treated him "Mother and Father" The words Floor sing is words his mother told him in real life. Notice too that the first thing you hear, besides the whispers, is "The end" and the last words is "The beginning". The end of an era and the start of something new.

This song and its performance is my Nightwish Magnum Opus. Understanding the deep emotional significance this song has for Tuomas combined with the bands perfect accompaniment and Floor's range and stunning vocals makes this unforgettable. By now, Floor has so many jaw dropping performances but this one combines power with a tenderness that is just mesmerizing.

[@mariogansbeke]

“Almost like a lullaby after a tragedy” I never heard it or seen it like that, but damn girl, you are spot on. Love your reactions. It is always a delight to hear and watch you. Take care of yourself, you are way too precious. Stay safe.

Now the next step is "The Greatest Show On Earth"....live at Tempere of course. 😉

[@damonbryan7232]

Seen nightwish when Floor had just started. They played this song. Not a dry eye in the place. Everyone knows this is Tuomas metaphorical suicide. The genius of Tuomas. If you listen to the talking part. When you hear "have three minutes to live". It's three minutes running time. Till you see the pendulum drop an the throat slash. It guts me every time I see Tuomas sing along. Can't wait to she your reaction to "Yours is a Empty Hope" live at Wembley. Floor has a deep surprise for you in the chorus.

[@AlvenmodFoto]

Wonderful reaction, love your analysis, insight and knowledge. Doesn't hurt that you have an extremely likeable personality. Pleeeeeease do more Nightwish, may I humbly ask you to do The Greatest Show on Earth, live from Tampere. It will blow your mind. Thanks again for an amazing reaction.

[@brunorodrigo3498]

I absolutely second you on that!

[@kylestaples465]

Yes! A must!

[@Grizzlox]

Absolutely

[@Caildyn]

Fun Fact about this song: When the line with "3 minutes" comes, it starts a countdown. exactly 3 minutes later you hear a blade fall. Serious Fact: Tuomas wrote this song instead of commiting suicide after suffering from having Tarja kicked out of the band. The song is filld with pictures of him passing or passed away. I think it's been his parents who got him through the worst, so he dedicated a part of the song to them. Tuomas always has a tough time performing this song. That's why the guys gather with him: to give him suport and check if he's alright.

[@ryanedwardson6541]

I've heard that he has the vocals turned down for his monitor as well so he doesn't have to hear them.

[@BruderTux]

Saw them live 5 times in Stuttgart (all singers, seeing them grow from a small gig in 2005 to the 15000 people concerts they do these days in Europe (last one in 2018). Looking forward to the next one in 2021. At least I got to see Marko's and Floor's solo shows this year.

[@Katriinka]

must be an amazing experience, you are lucky you got to see their growth live! One in a lifetime experience! :)

[@OrdinaryCritic]

Tuomas refers to himself as a “child” or a “dead boy” in some of his songs, so that’s the symbolism of having a boy sing (and narrate).

[@super60d]

Nightwish is a masterful experience in every title, just as it is an experience of listening to Mozart for those who love classical music, and besides, Tuomas is for me the current equivalent of Mozart, c he is a composition genius. Nightwish was already a huge band in Tarja's time, and there thanks to Floor "Xena" Jansen, they have become essential. Floor is an absolutely gorgeous woman and a monumental singer. ps: you are also amazingly beautiful, I love your face.

[@TheLsgaming]

Shallow by Lady Gaga and by Floor Jansen!

[@darthmagnus8855]

So, I think you would be really impressed to react to Nightwish's The Islander. That song features Marko singing lead. It absolutely showcases his clean vocals and ability to be a lead singer (which he actually was with his other band). I really recommend reacting to BOTH the official music video and the live version at Tampere. The music video will give you the visual story behind the song, and the live version will spin an entirely different dynamic. If you want to be emotionally shredded, you won't find too many songs better than this one. Bring a whole box of tissues with you and get ready to hear a completely different side to Nightwish.

She passed away a little over a year ago and that concert was one of our best times together. Yes, this is a deeply emotional song, but there's one that's a little longer that you need to see. It's also super emotional, but in the opposite direction! The Greatest Show on Earth is all about the history of the universe and evolution and how awesome it is that each of us has defied insane odds to actually be born as who we are :-) Check out the version live in Tampere 2015 and you'll lose yourself in the song in a wonderful way ;-) Thanks again and have a fantastic night!!!

Really enjoyed your reaction. Very insightful and understanding of Thomas’ genius in song writing and composing and Floor’s amazing talent and delivery. I’m a 55 yr old man in Florida and thought Bruce Springsteen was the best musical poet I had ever heard. Tuomas is hands down the best musical poet, songwriter, composer of all time that I have ever heard - no one comes close. I only discovered Nightwish a year ago and am so disappointed and sad I had not known about them before now. Floor is a stage general warrior goddess and has the best voice, range and stage presence I have ever heard or seen. Marco, Empuu, Troy, Kai, Juka - all amazing musicians and among the best ever in their talent and knowing what each song requires and then delivering perfection. Love your references to Lord of the Rings!

Great reaction! I have also felt the connection to the dark brass section just before the spoken verse of the song and the threatening feeling in Lord of the Rings when they use a similar sound for Isengard and also at Helms Deep if I recall correctly. Nothing wrong with nerding out over music and movies! 🤘🤘🤘

[@Katriinka]

you absolutely correct anarch :)
