WOW! Ex Metal Elitist Reacts to Nightwish "How's the Heart"

[@christophersims3319]

Absolutely nowhere to hide in this setting. Either you hit those notes or you don’t. Floor is the THE Queen

[@VXGaming]

Rumour has it Troy's left ear is still ringing after this.

[@TheToxicSliver]

If your liking Troy, check out "Harvest" from the Human Nature album

[@marita2g]

I concur!

[@chrismcmeekin8470]

Floor totally bodies this live, but I really like the studio version too, it's definitely worth a listen.

[@spikenelson6669]

legend has it that troy is still deaf in his left ear after that note Floor hit

[@black4pienus]

I prefer this version over the album version with full band and everything. The intimite setting brings across the message better imo. Like a warm hug to anyone who needs it. Really asking someone how they're doing can mean so much to people who are lonely or going through something.

[@AndreSomers]

Live they have also gone for (semi-) acoustic versions instead of the arrangement from the album, so I guess the band agree.

[@ToTheWolves]

Me too

[@noahreaver8375]

I can only describe her voice with one word: pure.

[@faviostone8717]

I'm a simple man, I watch Nightwish or Floor Jansen and I like and subscribe.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Yo, thanks for taking time to be here. I don't take it for granted.

[@chriso6719]

Tuomas wrote the 2nd verse for Floor, her husband Hannes van Dahl, and their daughter Freja. Floor was moved to tears when he told her about it. For the full electric version of this, there is a lyric video, and live at Deichbrand and Hellfest 2022.

[@elenasnchez7434]

❤❤❤

[@dalbo2759]

How's the heart ❤🔥🔥🔥

[@majbrat]

It's a stunning performance. I love the studio version, too, with the guitar as a heart beat during parts of it. It's a real song for being a good human. Check on your friends and family, and strangers you see might be struggling. Don't accept an "I'm fine," when you ask how they are - really ask how's the heart - how are they really. Be open to talk and listen, no judgement, be a humanist, and help your fellow man. 😊

[@jkopacetick]

Melody..Council... How's The Heart? I hope everyone is well. I love this version. They have done acoustic and semi-acoustic versions of this live, as well as full band versions. They're all good, but I love the intimate version's best. The official video is also good. You can't go wrong with this song. How's your ❤? Much ✌️ yall.

[@WNYretiree]

I love this version. It's so warm and intimate.

[@aaronleesgbclieutenant]

Here again Brohemian Rhapsody, you gotta hear Solarus and their song Arrival

[@aliekegeerse]

Congratsn the 10k, without ever asking us to subscribe! 🎉

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Appreciate you so much! Thanks for being apart of this friend!

[@amygoodson-catlady]

The Heart has critters running amuck all around it...

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

It was during this promotion tour, Troy and Floor did - Troy started to officially call Floor's voice for Stratospheric. And that's pretty accurate!! Super reaction from you - again 👍

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

much love friend!

[@Duskwind_]

In my opinion Floor has never sounded better than this. The song suits her voice perfectly, and you can tell that it really means something to her personally. And, before I forget, CONGRATS ON 10K! Love ya man 😊

[@jeffk1482]

Tuomas seems to write around who the lead singer is, and to me that’s perfectly shown here. Everything about this piece practically screams “Floor!”

[@tomasjaluvka6917]

You know, what I like about your reactions, is that you keep resonate the song in your mind a while, before you start talking, and of course, you're humble and sensitive guy, who is able to read the messages that Tuomas hides in NW's songs. Well deserved 10k, keep going. Best regards from Czech Republic

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Thank you friend for the kind words. I hope you are well

[@gabrielkain1]

Oh Floor....just magic. Congrats on 10k Brother. That's just the start. 20k is right around the corner.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

WHOOP WHOOP! Thanks man!

[@michellesharp3369]

Congratulations on 10k. Yes, you are just a guy reacting to music...but you do great reactions. You choose an interesting mix of videos and you actually take our advice & recommendations. You really appreciate the music you listen to and we all appreciate that. Well worth watching the lyric video to this. It indeed has a different feel to it but the power of empathy & compassion still comes through. It also shows you just how special this acoustic version really is.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Thanks so much michelle! The words mean a ton to me.

[@FromG2eminor]

Congrats on 10k!! Love this version. I love acoustic guitar and Floor can do anything as usual 😊

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

thanks so much. Also yes, this was amazing.

[@pdutchie4924]

So gorgeous this live version, beautiful harmonies❣️ Did you see Troy’s face at the end?😄 Congrats with the 10K!

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

it was sooooo good!!!

[@StarStuffGal321]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Congratulations!!! Nice reaction. I love that song, especially that version. The words are so empathetic.

[@Ieeho98]

You hear Floor sing at big venues like Wacken and you know she has an amazing voice, but when you hear her like this you understand just how amazing her voice really is. Lets not forget Troy though, what he's doing on that Acoustic is crazy good too.

[@fabrizio_prina]

Hello my friend, Nightwish Army Italian Division here, again as usual. This song is another Nightwish gem ♥

[@LordUther321]

Congrats on the 10k! It's well deserved, man! I really like your reactions! Keep going!

Dude thank you! That means so much to me!

You Rock man 🤘

Dude thanks so much! That means a ton!

[@billtbodger]

When I first saw this I fell in love with the song immediately, now I have seen them perform it in person and it is even more beutiful and emotional than here. Simply a perfect song with a verse written for Floor and Hannes and their daughter Freja, Troy and Floor sing so well together, simply magic. Big love Brother

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

I can only imagine how this sounds in person! Much love brother

[@billtbodger]

@@TheWolffAndTheMelody It sound very similar but the emotion is palpable both in the audience and coming from the stage

[@GryLi]

that last gear she ha is just amazing

[@sagebooker]

Oh this one is my favorite one when I need to cheer up after a dark day. It's so hopeful, and so full of grace. I love them both and together they offer new colors. straight to the heart, each time

[@TimoArula]

This song is special, a song about human empathy...We really need to care more, and fight less .... I really Like the original version, but that acoustic version just hit's so well into my soul and heart ❤. It is more personal...Also, this songs message, is more Powerful in this way, than its original version !!! I was fortunate enough to see this song played acoustic Live and it was beyond beautiful .... The second verse Tuomas wrote for Floor, her husband Hannes van Dahl and their daughter Freja. This is Tuomas way to say: Thank you Floor for saving the band back in 2012 and make us great again. he wrote the part "We met where the cliff greets the sea" about her relationship with Hannes van Dahl, the drummer of Sabaton (although is also a clear reference to Élan), and "Now there’s one who came from me / A child of light, another tale", which is about her giving birth to their daughter Freja. How cool is that? I mean, he really did what the song is about: human empathy. And what a better way to show it by dedicating a little part of the song for his friend and band mate? She said she went to tears when he mentioned it to her. And I can see why, it is a beautiful song. Plus: There is another Acoustic version of Ninghtwish song "Nemo" ! NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘

[@draug7966]

They also did a lovely version of "Nemo" in this session. Man, imagine gathering a bunch of people around a campfire out in the woods, the moon rising over the treetops , the stars getting lit one by one, and these two playing and singing..., would be absolute heaven.

[@howlandgrowl]

Isn't it bizarre that when Tuomas & Empuu started the Nightwish project, it was planed as an acoustic band. When Toumas's mother who was teaching Tarja the piano, introduced her as a vocalist, they all realised immediately that Tarja's voice was way to powerful for an acoustic band, so Empuu got the electric guitar and Nightwish was born Here we Floor & Troy doing exactly the same thing. Magical

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Thats so wild. You just never know what is going to happen.

[@elvwood]

They did this acoustic when I saw them, and I think I prefer it like this; _however,_ in the full band version there's some great work from Emppu, featuring a heartbeat riff that marries the music with the theme/lyrics. Worth listening to as well, sometime!

[@Greish-esquire]

TROY!😁

[@PomLimey]

Congrats on your 10k subs! Well deserved. To fill out the sound with just a guitar and a voice is never easy. But the precision of Troy’s guitar work and the beauty of Floor’s voice makes a magic combination.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Pom! You are a legend! Thank you!

[@ricofila5816]

Perfect Match, perfect Acoustic... genious Duet. 🫶🏻🤟🏻

Its so true and thank you dude!

[@chadbennett7873]

It's difficult not to have the feelings for this beautiful rendition of this brilliant song. They performed this variation in concert when I saw them last year in Los Angeles, and it was gorgeous. Congratulations on the 10K (of which I'm one) and the sky is the limit. We can feel your passion, and that goes a long way. Thumbs up, Cosmic!! You're a good guy!

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

It was such a beautiful song. Also thank you for the kind words friend! Means so much

[@NickBR57]

They started doing this as acoustic part way through the tour. After I saw them at Wembley, they changed to doing Our Decades in the Sun acoustic which is also brilliant. No official version until the DVD for the HN tour comes (next year I hope) but a decent audience shot version from Zurich is out there on YT

[@Croz76]

Congrats on 10k! lovely version of this song. I wouldn't be mad at a café tour. ♥

Great meaning behind those lyrics. There is an acoustic version of Nemo worth a look. How's the heart music video a lot different and more heavier also worth a look Thank you.

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

nice one. i think i prefer those stripped down versions over the opreatic fullness. is it understandable what i mean? it gives time and space to unfold the vocals, the melody, the composition.

[@Mars-is4un]

🤗🍒🤘🏻 well done again

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

How are ya Mars?

[@raunohamalainen9667]

I think that there is not many singers like Floor who can sing those notes without band!!

[@no_onein2024]

I'm getting caught up watching videos. I see you also recently reacted to Noise! Noise is the 2nd song on Human Nature. How's the Heart I believe is the 5th (6th??) song. Noise, as you know by now, is all the distractions that the abuse of technology and social media throws our way, deceptions and illusions of the "digital ghouls". What happens when you REMOVE all that noise??? You can focus on YOU. "How's the heart UNDERNEATH the silence?" When the Noise is removed, how are YOU really doing beneath the surface, the "silence".

[@dayltonjonnes7959]

Thank you. Do you need to watch Edema Ruh and Our decades in the sun nightwish acoustic.

[@dixie3086]

Did you know that Floor has a tattoo of a wolf behind one ear and a dog behind the other ear? She said the wolf is her onstage and the dog is when she is at home. You should check out some video's she has when she is home with Hannes, her husband.
