I am Broken. Dad was always so proud of everything you had ever done. He would be smiling today knowing how you had taken your love for music and talent and had done something awesome with it. I can't listen to a single Beatles song without sobbing, so feeling for you and with you on this one.

Thank you for keep filming this, not so much people show the world their vulnerable face. I admire you and love what you do here. Big hugs, Chase ❤

This took a hard left turn from technical analysis into emotional reaction, and never let anyone say it was a wrong turn. Truly a universal message.

Dear Chase, after seeing this video, for the first time ever in my life I am writing a comment to a youtube video. I am a 55 year old guy from Germany, who discovered Nightwish about 1 year ago. Short time later I discovered reaction channels on KZfaq and then, I found YOU, Chase. You brought lots of wonderful hours of of entertainment, knowledge and fascination to my life. You are a kind and wonderful person, and sharing your thoughts and feelings with us is like a precious gift for me, and Im am sure most of the other viewers will agree with that. Although we have never met personally and probably never will, you feel like a close friend to me. And while my friend was crying, his tears mixed with mine, as my friend's pain is also my pain. Thank you for everything you have done for us with your channel, and all the best for you and your beloved ones. We are all with you, Chase.

He was so proud you, you were his best friend and you continue to make him proud every single day.

And this is why nightwish and all of its members are so special. A real connection to real emotions with no shame and no reseri. Peace brother.

This song. Wow..... I saw my son born, emergency caesarian, and got to hold him while the surgeons worked on my partner. When he blinked up at me, the first thing I thought of was "He has my Dad's face. Same shape, same eyes, same hair (none), same teeth (none). He is my Dad - The next generation." .... No one is truly gone until the last person who remembers them is gone too. Be strong. I lost my father a while ago and then my partner passed away too.... They both live in on within me, my son and my daughter..... Metal is family. You have made your father proud.

So sad to hear about your dad... To quote Gandalf: "I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil" Stay strong!

I recommend Our decades under the sun for healing the wounds this song opens up.

Got here as it’s premiering...oh crap, this gonna make me cry, isn’t it? 😳😭 Edit: yep. Yep yep yep. I love you, Chase. Stay strong, thank you, and fuck cancer.

But, this IS music analysis. Done with heart, love, words, pain, longing, memory... I think this is the best music analysis.

Part of me hopes Marko sees this, and the effect it has had on you, and that maybe it'll help him see that what he does IS worth it! His talents have a huge effect on millions of people 🙂 Sorry for your loss 🙁

First thing I did right after seeing your reaction: Calling my dad. He'll turn 80 next year. My four brothers and I lost our Mom 10 years ago and our youngest sister at the age of 4 (in 1982). So I can imagine your feelings. THANKS for sharing this! I'm with you and send you a big hug! Love your reactions!

I was watching your reaction and started crying because I empathized with you. It was only when I was two-thirds in that I realized I'm in the same boat because I lost my dad to cancer 31 years ago. And suddenly I was crying twice as much. I've heard this song a few times in both languages but it never hit me on a personal level until I watched it hit you today. Thanks man. That was a cathartic experience.

"He would be here talking to all of you” man tht got me😢 Bro he will always be wit you if u call him😊❤ Lots of love ❤..

My father passed away nearly thirt years ago, just after my wedding... Notwithstanding the time, I will never forget him... ever. No apologies. Emotions are not forbidden. I wept listening to this song.

I'm so sorry for your loss. After being on this journey with you these past months, it feels like a friend of mine is hurting. I understand this song was painful. I believe that as long if someone remembers them, a person is not really gone. By listening to this song, you remembered your father, and because of that he was there with you. And believe me, as a mother, your father would be so proud of you.

You owe us nothing, Don't hold those felling in.... let it out..... It still hurts, but locking it away hurts more .... Feelings and love is what makes us humans, never apoligise for showing that. Take care of you and your loved ones. I´m gonna go hug my little boy now (without him understanding why....he just turned 5 )

My father died two years ago and this song (especially the original version that was sung in Finnish) still makes me cry. My father went quickly. I can't imagine the pain of watching your loved one suffer with something like cancer. I wish you all strength during these troubling times.

"Kiss While Your Lips Are Still Red" Marko says it all

You said you were worried about sharing this in the premiere chat. I'd just like to say I'm sorry for you loss. I lost my dad the same way several years ago, and I miss him to this day. Good men earn that respect, and the respect doesn't die. I was ok until the pictures at the end, and they got me.

That was intense. Thank you for sharing your emotions with us. What a courage to upload this most intimate feelings for all of us. I hope we can give you something back. We're with you. Lot's of love.

I lost my father when i was 15, now over 40 years ago, He is with me every day, but songs like this make it like it happened yesterday. You have no reason to apologise, You respect your Dad, by showing your love for him... Sending strength to you and your family...

So many people from channels would have stopped, composed themselves, and sanitized their feelings under lockdown. You, though....you held up your heart and feelings--raw, exposed, unfiltered, and vulnerable--and gave us the most honest and emotional reaction perhaps ever, and I've seen hundreds upon hundreds of reactions. Your strength and courage to forge on are inspiring. Thank you.

This music remembers me of one from Nightwish "Our Decades in the Sun". It has a similar vibe and talks about mother and father too. May be worth a check.

This is my first ever YT comment, but i had to. Love what you do and how you represent yourself. Mad respect. I lost my father out of the blue counting on 4 years ago now. Been a Nightwish fan since a toddler. And a Marco fan since he joined. Saw his album released on spotify a while ago and broke down crying in the subway on my way to work... My dad never saw me become the head chef i am today, but i know ill make him proud doing the best i can, and being the best i can be to people close to me. Just as you said. Let people know that you care. That you love them. All the symphaties to you. Its painful.

Well, that explains a lot of things. Thank you for your courage. A real man isn't afraid of crying. Respect.

A sobering reminder to take all the time you have on this earth with those you love and not take it for granted.

I'm sorry for your loss. Never feel you have to apologize for your tears or for feeling emotions. Now I need to go call my dad. ❤

I saw interview of Marko on finnish tv and he told he lost his father to alcohol years ago. Marko has stopped drinking, cause he saw what happened to his father. He told that this album is really personal and he was a bit afraid to publish it, cause of that. I really appreciate your reaction and honesty. ❤️

9.17-> best response ever. genuine and honest. I lift my hat and bow

Hugs from overhere! Loosing your father is always a hard thing, so good you show your emotions 🤗

Oh my... This is exactly what music is for. This is when music is at it´s best. Brings the true feelings out. Even those that you have tried to "hide". Massive massive massive respect to you Chase, this reaction was so damn honest. It can´t get any more honest than this. And for us, who has lost your father...

A note about this song and the video: Marko actually released the Finnish version of this album first. The music video was shot during that first release. The English lyric video is the background of the original music video. But enough about the technical stuff. This song is so beautiful and sad, but also hopeful. My father is such a huge part of my life, that when I hear this song, I think about what will happen when he’s gone, what will I do then? Even as a mother, I wonder about my kids and what they will feel when I’m gone. I cry every time I hear this song. I am so sorry for your loss Chase and the pain you are still going through. My grandfather passed away last year, and I know my dad is still grieving his passing. We all are. He was a tough old bird until the end when he passed at 92 years old. One of my best friends died of a drug overdose over 10 years ago...and that pain is still there. People will say, “well, at least they are no longer in pain or suffering.” But that doesn’t make the pain any better. But I think Marko in this song is telling us that though they are gone, and the pain is never easy and never goes away, those we love the most aren’t ever really gone. They are within us, and maybe, just maybe that can help us move forward in our own lives and live our lives for those who are no longer here on this mortal coil. Thank you this video. It’s a beautiful tribute. You’re dad seemed like one cool dude. Much love and hugs from Oklahoma. Have a damn good (and beautiful) day.

You're a good man, I can't imagine he'd be anything but proud.

I cried with you watching this… This song is so heart-touching for me. Thumb Up!!!!!

You should also check the Finnish version of this song. Get to know Finnish language as well. Lots of love from Finland. 💜

Chase, you have my fullest respect for sharing this very emotional moment with us. My dad shot himself on my 16th birthday and although it’s now 18 years ago I was crying with you while watching. The pain fades when time goes by, but you never heal completely. My father was all in about classic music and I bet he would’ve loved Nightwish. That’s one more reason (as if there weren’t enough already 😄) why this band is so special for me. Feel hugged Chase 💕

I am so very sorry for you and your family. It truly shows what a beautiful and special relationship you had and will continue to have in your heart Chase. Love to you all.

Thank you for sharing this so honestly. My dad could not sing worth a damn, and I can't, either. No matter. We both had and have another creative voice in drawing and painting. I'll sing with my hand, paint and imagination instead. You do him great honor.

He is always with you!

Never say sorry when emotions get you. Music has a way to bring out emotions and when they get you, enjoy the memories and the good times with your father. I’m sorry for your loss

You are so strong to film this and keep it the way it is. It's ok to be sad and show sadness! It's ok to grieve! Thank you for making this video!

My condoleances. Sorry for your loss. Hard to watch a person in such pain. Alot of strength for you and your family. Very wise words in the end, thanks for the reminder.

Oh, dude. You had me in tears before the third minute was over, and I've literally ran out of tissues - I'm a mess, and I'm waiting for that choking feeling in my throat to go away. I think it took guts to post this video, and you should be very proud of yourself (as I'm sure your dad would be). You could have taken the easy way and edited this heavily; instead you allowed us to see something very private and very real, and all I can do is thank you for that. I've always thought this song was very soothing in its sadness - I hope one day you'll be able to find the solace in it as well. And with that, I'm going to call my mom now. Take care!

It took a lot of courage to film this and release this one Chase. I admire you for doing it. It is not easy to share anything close to your heart. I lost my father as well and he is never far from my thoughts, even 6 years later. You made me think of my dad today and the memories of him that I treasure, thank you Chase, from the bottom of my heart. Respect and love ya dude, see you on discord soon.

I'm shattered. Song itself brings tears into my eyes every single time, reminding me about my dad I lost long, long time ago. Still feels like it was only yesterday when he died. But seeing you suffering for your recent lost, broke me to a million pieces. It is still very hard to type this through watery eyes. I am sure your dad would have been so proud of you and this beautiful reaction channel you have created.

My condolences. All the best and strength to you.

The video on the background is the one they shot for the finnish version of this song, which is why it's not 1:1 for this english version

I lost my dad over 20 years ago to cancer, I was 23. I'm older now than he was. It gets better, it never goes away, but it gets better.

Seeing you cry like that made me cry with you, couldn't help it. I admire and respect you so much for sharing those vulnerable moments with us, bless your heart

my condolences. beautiful song ... in both Finnish and English

He gave this world a precious kind hearted metalhead with a soul of purity and love . God keep him by your side in heaven and make a balcony for him to able to watch Chase talking about music .

I feel you pain, sorry for your loss. I lost my father to cancer three months ago. Watching this review with a glass of good brandy and a tear or two is the best remedy right now. Thanks for your wonderful NW reviews so far, I’m watching every single one of them as soon as they come out!

So wonderful Song....

Fitting tribute at the end. Lost my dad near Christmas in 2012 so have had some time but just lost my mom at the end of October so brings everything back. Got your back Chase..

Dude. Sending you so much love. I'm truly humbled by your vulnerability. Thank you for deciding to share it with us. I don't have a relationship with my dad, as he disowned me. So, seeing these beautiful connections with fathers really warms my heart and makes me so grateful for those that I know that have experienced such a love and relationship. It is painful, because it's supposed to be. Be well.

Wow. Just wow. Chase, you have said on multiple occasions so and so is special. Now its my turn. You sir, are special. Thank you for bringing good into the world.

I feel you man...Army is with you, greetings from Finland!

My sincere condolences Chase to you and your family. Believe me when I say I feel your pain in this mate. I lost my dad 30 years ago come 20th December and listening to songs like this still gets to me even 30 years down the line.

9:56 My heart broke so bad 🥺💔 I am sending so much love to you 🙏🏼 I lost my grandma earlier this year and I couldn’t fix things with her before she passed away. That left such a weird bitter feeling. Indeed, call you fam’, tell them that you love them. It’s all that matters in the end...

I started to cry, once I saw how emotional you became. I lost my grandpa this year too, closest to father I ever had, since I dont know ny actual father. Thank you for sharing your pain Chase. I wish you will find your way out from the sadness and into the loving memories of your dad.

Love you, Chase. This is the best kind of reaction video. Where all the emotions pour out. Keep up the amazing work you are doing!

THIS! This is why we have music! my condolences ❤

Nightwish saturdays, Marko Hietala fridays? He could honestly be the lead vocalist for a great Metal band but playing the bass while backing up Floor is good enough.

Ditto and I struggled with this one too...... 2 weeks to the 1st anniversary of my dads passing so I fully understand. Stay strong man, our fathers and their voices will always be with us! Wise words at the end, listen up everyone!

I am absolutely sure that your dad would be and is proud of you. Very emotional and honest reaction. Man you made me cry as well! Stay strong and keep doing what you do. I concur, make sure you spend times with the ones that you love and love you whilst you have the chance. Take care.

Never apologize for true emotions. I lost my father 20 years ago when i was still quite young, and I could see him losing the fight to cancer day by day. It still hurts and there is nothing to be ashamed about, some things break the strongest among us and thats completely fine. It keeps us sane, reminds us to appreaciate what we have I m very sorry about your loss. There is something to some cultures not mourning the death, but celebrating the life lived.

Wonderful reaction Chase. Lost my dad to cancer 12 years ago and this one does the same thing to me. Just like Marco says, you’ll always carry a piece of him with you.

There's a typo in the lyric video. "Sing my song and I'll sing with you" but the real lyric is "Sing my son and I'll sing with you"

Powerful, thank you.

Never apologise for your feelings. I'm so sorry for your loss Chase. He's still watching you and will be your guardian angel and I bet he is so proud of you just like we all are! ❤️

This was tough to watch... bro, i respect you so much for not hiding your emotions. So sorry for your loss, dear. My condolences to you and your family, he is watching and I’m sure he’d be smiling at you feeling proud of you.

Chase, so emotional and painful. Sincerest condolences on loosing your father. My dad has dementia/Alzheimer's and I see him slipping away with every visit. I haven't been able to talk to him for a while because it is painful. After seeing your reaction and you wish that we touch out you have given me the courage to give him a call. I hope that you are feeling all the love being sent your way from this incredible community you have built and you might get some comfort. Your fathers voice is within you!

There is no need to apologize or be ashamed of your feelings. Especially not when it comes to grief because you've lost a loved one. My father shot himself two years ago and I miss him very much too ... he was my soulmate. Thanks for uploading this video on his birthday. I'm so sorry for your loss, stay strong!

i guess that's what makes your reactions so special Chase. You feel the music, instead of listening to it. And i guess (and I say it cause I feel the same way) that's the ultimate connection. I am pretty sure your dad would be very proud of yourself and would love your channel, as we do. Take care!

Oh, Chase, I feel it with you. I lost my father 4 years ago, also trough cancer. He was always singing and playing the piano. I miss his voice so! 😢💕

I've lost some very close people recently. There's absolutely zero shame in showing emotions. You're an artist and that's what you do; you convey emotions. Godspeed to your dad and hugs! I'd recommend checking out any song from this album and especially the live versions from his tour. That said, I think you might really want to check out how this song sounds in the original Finnish as well. Take care!!!

Oh Chase, I'm so very sorry for your loss. May his memory be a blessing. Thank you for reacting to this and not being afraid to show your emotions on camera. Sometimes it's really important for people to be able to share emotions - and that's why music is our universal language. Strength to you

Thanks Chase for sharing. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Had to go through the same

He's always by your side ❤❤

Oh, my dude...We never meant to hurt you like this. We love you.

Thank you Chase. Very moving and your last words in the video carry such a valuable message. All the best wishes.

Oh dear, I waited until I watched your video 'til now, because I already knew from the thumbnail how emotional it would be. A lot of love from germany.

Chase, you beautiful beautiful soul. Sending all hugs I can over to you 💕

The most loving reaction to a song so far I shared this with my daughter we both got teary and said I luv you we are sorry for your loss and we both hope to have your honest true felt feelings when our day comes

I am sorry for your lost. This song is so beautiful and it is important to listen songs like that, because we need those emotions too, just to to realise that we are human.

I'm not sure how I missed this when you posted it, but I'm so moved to see it now. What an incredible song and an absolutely TRUTHFUL reaction. I've already lost my mom which in a weird way has brought me closer than ever to my dad. Thanks for the reminder that life is precious and our relationships with others is the only thing of importance and truth.

This was such a touching video to watch, it's almost hard to write a comment on it. I don't think I've yet felt grief of this proportion in my life, and I think it's somehow good to get reminded every now and then that most probably will feel it at some point or another. (Reason why I love How's the heart so much). Truly felt for you watching this, and it's beautiful to see all the good will in the chat and in the comments, restoring faith in humanity. Take care, and focus on the part that makes you smile.

The most emotional reaction I've ever seen and I felt every second of your love and how much you miss your father. Thank you for being brave enough to choose this song for us knowing how vulnerable you would be. Much respect.

6years since mum & dad went still raw lovely reaction dont be sorry for emotions

I lost my father unexpectedly back in August. There are things I have accomplished recently that I wasn't able to share with him but he'd have been proud of. It kills me to know that I can't. I am with you on this brother.

Your dad (god bless him), where ever he might be, must be so proud of you, Chase! Even in such a fragile moment, you find brilliant words of advice. Let's make this world a better place, forget about anger and hatred for once and spread some love.

Thank you for sharing this personal and intimate moment Chase, I also lost my dad recently and I understand completely the feeling, I'm sure yours is sooo proud and watching over you, what you do here to light other people's lives like mine is incredible and I'm sure he would've love to see his son do that! Lots of love and good vibes from Costa Rica ♥️

I believe anyone who has lost their father or father figure cried watching this.... I did. 😭 Thank you for sharing that, I know it took a lot to put that out in public, no doubt your words put some things in perspective for many. Thank you for your reaction, words and my heart goes out to you for your loss. Stay strong, stay safe, and stay blessed. 😊❤🤘🤘

I feel you Chase 😓❤ What an emotional and beautiful ode to your father ! I'm sure he will be proud of you. I have lost my father 10 years ago to cancer and still miss him every single day. My mother passed away last month so watching you made me cry also 😥

You are so courageous to post this video , I lost my own dad last December and I’m crying with you. Love and peace to you Chase

My heart goes out to your gentle soul ❤ Your dad would've been proud of you today seeing you're doing things you're passionate about. Love from parents can't be quantified. When my mom passed away, it affected my dad so badly- even his health. I can't imagine my life without him after my mom's passing. He's always been a strong supporter of what I do in life. I felt this and thank you for showing us the emotional side of you. We don't know each other well, but you do have a small part in my life since I discovered your channel. And if a sincere, socially distant virtual hug is the kind of offering people give in the comments section, you get one from me. Take care.

Yes I feel you!!! Thank you for your video. I lost my father 2014 for cancer. Too early too soon😢Youre star!!!

*sending hugs* I just wanted to reach through the screen. I lost my mum from the same too, back in 2012. I remember the first time I saw the opening of Guardians of the Galaxy and I broke down in the cinema. My mum also never got to see my channel or my artwork and I often wonder what she would have said, its only natural. As everyone else has said I feel privileged to have shared in your emotions and I'm sat here crying from the depths of my being having felt every step of those emotions alongside you all the way across the planet. This song found its way to you for a reason xx (Also just so you know, your videos have been a great comfort to me through the anxiety and stress of the craziness of the world at the mo. I genuinely look forward to Nightwish day each week, you are to KZfaq what Tuomas is to Nightwish!)
