Fun fact: In that Wacken show, this song came right after Ghost Love Score. So those killer low notes she hits at the beginning of SOM were right on the heels of the high note she nailed at the end of GLS. One extreme to the other.

Been there, done that... It’s AMAZING! They’re AMAZING! ❤️🤘 NIGHTWISH FOREVER!🙌

I saw Nightwish live. You can feel the Kick Drum in your chest every time he hits it. It was AWESOME!

R.I.P ANN.🌹 the Nightwish family never forget you. You are missed🥰

Now please the opener of this concert, Dark Chest Of Wonders! You will see how one should open a show. :-)

Notice the crowd.... there are just 82 thousand happy people. You don't see a single sad face.

You guys are awesome. There are plenty of good reactors out there, but your easy going, down to earth, organic reactions make you guys stand out from the crowd. Its obvious you enjoy each other, and what you are doing, which makes you both a pleasure to watch. Thanks for spreading your joy.

I agree, that song is not long enough. This is one of my favs from this concert. The band just MASHES the tonic chord when they come to it. Love everything about it!!! All 82k were banging!

Justin and Staci, love your channel, you two have ALL the energy! Nightwish coming to America in late 2021, see you there!!

The poet and the pendulum live wembley (with lyrics) . The greatest show on earth live Tampere . GREAT REACTION .

You guys are great reactors. I love watching you watching great music. Keep it rolling.

Thank you for your reaction! Greetings from Finland, Nightwish 's homeland 🤘🇫🇮

Thanks for reacting! - Nightwish Army! ✌👍🏻

This is inspired by the poem.. G to E minor is the last line of the poem.. I'm not a musician but I read somewhere that G and E minor are like opposite minor cords of the same major cord.. The poem is about duality, like heads and tails are opposites, but both are still parts of the same coin.. When Toumas was writing this song he was pondering his own place in the world with confidence and doubt.. His proclaimed purpose in life was a steadfast dedication to bringing joy and happiness to everyone who ever listened to his music, but still he maintained a lingering self doubt that he was actually up to the task..

This song isn't as much about the Floorgasm as it is the whole bandgasm!!! lol. Nice reaction as always guys.

Hi Justin, hi, Stacy. You always point out how the crowd is getting their money's worth and enjoying their experience to the max.... as if the musical performance wasn't enough to give them a night to remember, keep in mind that that was the first time those fans ever heard Floor Jansen performing with Nightwish. This was still part of the Imaginaerum World Tour and they were supposed to see Anette Olzon as the singer. Every fan that experienced Floor Jansen sing with Nightwish for the first time had a "Golden Ticket" because they experienced awesomeness and perfection!! 😊 The lyrics that were displaying on the screen was actually what you were reading at first. They don't perform those words with the actual song but it does take what you actually heard from 6+ minutes to almost 14 minutes. Nightwish did actually release the 14 minute video, if you want to experience that ending. For the next reaction, I'm gonna say the opener, "Dark Chest Of Wonders". Thank you for the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed. 😊❤🤘🤘

Great reaction. I've watched the whole concert a few times, well a lot of times!! This was the first time most of the audience had seen Floor. You can see them, first accept her, then enjoy her and finally become completely won over by her.

just cracy! Marko will be missed, his voice is so unique and his pass playing is so out of this world

You are right, this was not the end of the song - and at the same time it was. It was the end of the live song, but the album version has an extended spoken part at the end. The words on the big screen are the lyrics to that extended spoken part which they haven't performed live in that show. There is an extended version of this performance where the fans have added the spoken parts after the live part, well worth watching. BTW, this song is inspired by Walt Whitman's poem of the same title. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdmCmrKZ15mupJ8.html

Thank you. This is my favorite from this concert. Staci...great smile!

i cannot wait when troy enter the house and hypnotize his irish pipes :)

Everyone seems to have so much fun on and off the stage great reaction guys

This song is inspired by the Walt Whitman's poem by the same title (it's a long one). The album version (Imaginaerum, 2011, sung by Anette Olzon) is double as long and contains narrated text. This performance is a very powerful one. As a drummer i admire Jukka's work with his china there very much. ⛄👍

What do I like? I like how much you are enjoying this. Just as much as I am. Jukka is just amazing on the drums. My heart starts to beat with the music.

Nightwish..Yes...🔥🔥🔥👍

Justin and Staci in full Nightwish ecstasy and floorgasem mode. Justin has no hair to be a metalhead and Staci has the greatest joy when one falls on the ground while crowdsurfing, lol. Great Reaction!!! Next should be "Nightwish - The Greatest Show On Earth Live - (Legendado PT/Br)"

The energy from their live shows hits you through the screen and gives many of the viewers goose bumps and shivers. Just imagine what would feel like to be there. If there was ever a band to see perform live it is this one. Spread the word this band needs a lot more exposure and recognition in the US. This is what real talent sounds like.

Dark chest of wonders, Wish i had an angel and last ride of the day :)

YES feeling and enjoy

9:42 No matter how many times I see this video I still marvel at Emppu taking a drink of his Corona while holding the sustained note on the guitar!

Damn, how I love watching your stuff - such a beautiful couple of two lucky bastards enjoying each other's company with such a great sense of humour, too. Unique points of commentary providing lots of food for thought even if the piece of music happened to be a familiar one. You are doing a great job, Justin & Staci. Sincere respect from Finland.

@justinandstaci, Song of Myself was song number 14 of 15 from this epic concert in the Wacken metal festival in 2013. This song actually came immediately after Ghost Love Score. You guys would enjoy doing this whole concert from beginning to end. Then you would appreciate even more the interaction between the audience and the band. You wouldn’t regret doing the whole show.🤟🤟✌️✌️🇨🇦

please check out high hopes from end of an era, it really shows off marco and emmpu and what marco sounded like in the early days.

Thanks Justin and Staci! Love this band! Love your reactions!! What I love so much about this band.... They go from "a little softer" to full on BANGER in 5 seconds!! And everything in between... Tuomas is a master of toying with our emotions. Floor is the master of reintroducing those emotions back to the audience. Watching Staci light up is so much fun! Her comment...."everybody is so into it"... Nightwish was the headliner at Wacken that year....82000+ fans were rapt to see the new incarnation of the band. Remembering that Floor was still a 'guest singer', as was Troy, this was their 'coming out' party. Additionally, the ENTIRE band are "into it" and you can see and FEEL their absolute JOY in being on stage. Get used to being surprised at just how good this band is. There are no throw away songs. Every single one is a work of art and an orchestrated masterpiece. Tuomas is meticulous in his compositions and each member of the band a fanatic about making it perfect for the stage. From the music, to the staging, lighting, imaging and most definitely to the mixing, miking and sound production...all expertly managed. Myself, I love the passion that Jukka brings to drumming. He makes the drums more than a beat, but an instrument. In the same way Floor makes the voice a musical instrument. I love Empuu being a prankster and his interactive play with the fans. I love the depth that Marko brings with his amazing bass AND vocals. He's never 'phoning in' his performance. He's "in it" for the fans and the music. Not pictured in this performance is another of my favorites of the band, Troy. For your enjoyment (and mine) you should react to LAST OF THE WILDS. It's an instrumental, but one of my favorite tracks. I'm thinking, YOU'LL LOVE IT TOO!!

You're so positive fun to watch

OMGgggg you guys are amaaazing! Love you do much after just 2 minutes!!!!!!

Thanks for the deep dive, was a cool additional treat :) Tuomas is a poet, so many of his lyrics are quite deep and some have many different interpretations, depending how they speak to you

Floor... VOICE of the Goddess.💫🔥💯

Poet and the Pendulum & Greatest Show on Earth + Tarja's Phantom Of The Opera, trust me !!!

Powerful Epic duet with the Goddess and the Viking..Awesome Love the movements of Floor, her hair whips and the response of her handmaidens...lol 😁😁😁

I'm always in a good mood after watching your videos. Thank you!

6 in the morning and went up to my musicroom. Start up mixers, tv and check the sound. I found your new Nightwish comment and start to check it out. Drink my first day coffee and had alot of laughs again :) You are great

Very happy I subbed to you guys. As you both eluded to us watching you react to them is probably a reason why we're so interested in seeing the astonishment on your faces - as I and no doubt so many others have seen this video possibly hundreds of times, we never seem to tire of it and for me personally, it's such a joy to see the effect that it has on both of you! As for the change from G major to E minor, I think essentially they have exactly the same scale notes in both keys - so I'm guessing the implication is that nothing changes - and in this instance I think is referring to societal change?! That was my take on it, but I've only been a Nightwish fan for 8 months or so, so I might be totally wrong 😀 Great job guys, keep em coming!

Thanks for a great reaction This was actually only half the song Song of Myself. On the studio version there is a long part where different voices read poetry. The lyrics you read is from there. Very emotional! Regards from Sweden Ulf

Song of Myself is written by Tuomas in remembering of the American poet, essayist, and journalist Walt Whitman (May 31, 1819 - March 26, 1892) As humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism, incorporating both views in his works. Whitman is among the most influential poets in the American canon, often called the father of free verse. This song has 4 parts ending in a poem. Although this last part has never performed live the text is written on the wall behind the stage. 1. From a Dusty Bookshelf 2. All That Great Heart Lying Still 3. Piano Black 4. Love

Next from this show: last ride of the day!

I enjoy your reaction so much! I can't wait to see you react to greatest show on earth live at Tampere.... so much surprises in this song. Great job, keep it up! ❤

Another great reaction love seeing you two make my day keep them reactions coming 👍👍🤘🤘

I love your reactions on Nightwish 🤘 i grew up with Nightwish and still this songs never get old. Keep going whole wacken concert(2013) is amazing 😃 With Nightwish you never go wrong 😁🤘 Greetings from Czech republic 😃

Nightwish Only three US cities in 2021 Lowell, MA 10-7-2021 Tickets on sale now!

R.I.P Ann Waychoff mother of the Nightwish Army. June 28th, 2020 . Ann was a big Nightwish Fan. And every new person who listened to NW, she went through a little chat. And gave them some info about NW. This was her favorite song. And this song belongs to her.

That breakdown - 🔥🔥🔥

Personally what I always find amazing! Is Tuomas (keyboards/metal genius) can head bang with the best of them, all while he is playing and not miss a key. Love this band. And you channel keep up the good vibes guys! Hello from Arizona!

I think you said a couple more Nightwish songs from Wacken 2013. "Last Ride of the Day" literally, great ending to a great concert. Watch till the very end to see credits and bows. "Amaranth", great interaction with the crowd by Floor. There was something mentioned about hair on your reaction. I have to use the opportunity to tell what I saw today down town Helsinki, because I found it hilarious. There was a woman whose head, because of her hairdo, looked exactly like a huge corona virus. I'm sure everyone has seen pictures of the virus with all the spikes on it's surface. Seeing that made my day.

I love your reactions... Greetings from Germany...🤘🤘🤘

"I feel a 'Floorgasm' brewing in our forecast" I love that. LOL. Thanks!

One of the main things you can always expect to see in a Nightwish reaction is a smile!

"Then forever there remains that change from G to Em." The album has the full song. It's over 13 minutes.

You 2 ROCK 🤘🏻😎

NW songs always seem shorter than they are... Mystery and magic of NW! NW Army Namibia checking in 🌌⛲⚔️🇳🇦🤟🏻

If you look up the lyrics, the band basically did the first half of the song. What you saw on the screen is the rest of the song.

At last...my favourite song. Go look up the full version with the spoken part after.

One more step down the rabbit hole! :)

J&S I love your reacts, nice to watch so genuine and colourful acts from you guys. Keep doing these NW´s , and we´ll be there. Stay safe down there!

From this concert, there is Last Ride Of The Day(which is the song after this one), Amaranth, Wish I had an Angel, She is my sin. Next concert I suggest checking out is Tampere 2015 especially their song, Greatest Show On Earth.

I loved your comment about loving to react to the audience reacting to a Nightwish performance. Guess what! You are ready to see floor performing on the Dutch TV show Beste Zangers. Floor was one of the featured singers in the 2019 season and she consistently WOWed the other singers in a very intimate environment. Many of them are reacting to Floor's performance for the first time...and you get to not only react to Floor's performance, but react to the other singers reacting from the sofas. All of Floor's performances were great, however her duet performance of "Shallow" and her duet featuring Henk Poort of "Phantom of the Opera" are great places to start. Also, her live performance in front of a full orchestra and full choir with Epica singing "Sancta Terra" is sure to thrill you as well. Thank you both for doing what you do best...getting excited about great music and superb performances.

Subscribed to see where your nightwish journey takes you! 👀 can’t wait for Yours is an Empty hope at the Wembley concert! And also, can’t wait for you all to go down the Marko rabbit hole!!👏

It's a part of IMAGINAERUM, it's a text at the end of the movie , when the Old Tuomas says it and plays it , and then the doll starts to dance .BTW, it is a movie from Nightwish. And SOM is a part of the movie

Nightwish Last Ride of the Day is of course last ride of the day. Next move on to next year please. You two are so lovely I love you :)

hi there ! you need to meet troy ! "i want my tears back", same concert ...

You two just amazing..🤘 there is a longer version on the album. Check out that too.. 👍

I've heard that Nightwish gives you more bang for your buck as far as their show goes than any other band.

legends say when a new machine gun is built, the manufacturers seek out jukka and adjust the rate of fire. his double base counts :) Greetings from Germany: Nightwish Division

The live version doesn’t contain the second half of the song which is mostly a spoken narrative backed by a cello. I highly recommend giving that a listen to because it is deeply human.

Go for the show Opener 'dark chest of wonder' and see how the energy starts!

I do not know why nobody recomends "Wish I had an angel", it was the second song of the concert and It was a total banger.

If you guys are doing 2 more, it is fitting to do "Last Ride of The Day" as a final for Wacken. Really enjoying your Nightwish reaction journey. ✌

I get so excited when you react to NW songs!!! It makes me happy when people enjoy Nightwish 😁 Now I think you need to move to other concerts. I would suggest from Wembley - yours us an empty hope (Floor's voice so versatile) - 7 days to the wolves - shudder before the beautiful (the opening song) - alpenglow - my walden From Tampere - the greatest show on earth (my favorite masterpiece ever) - weak fantasy From Buenos Aires - I want my tears back (Floor knows how to dance) - Slaying the dreamer - Dead boy's poem - Devil & the deep dark ocean

And forever there remains the change from G to Em. Pull up the studio version to get into the verses on the screen.

💥NIGHTWISH💥 IS 🔥ALWAYS🔥GREAT...🤘🤘Thank You and love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱🌷🇳🇱 Stay Healthy and Safe please😷🍀🙋🏼‍♀️😘

I love this song for so many reasons. As someone else already said, it's not as much about the Floorgasm itself as about the whole band being just masters in their work. The composition, instruments, charisma and incredible vocals of both Marko and Floor. By the way, everyone is crazy about Floor's high notes which is understandable, but have you noticed how amazing her low notes are? How clean they are and how clearly you can hear every single word?

Last Ride of the Day next

LOL at trying to headbang with no hair! I've shorter hair too, so my crazy thought is to buy a long wig and don it so I can experience proper headbanging first hand! 😛 For some reason my wife just laughs at me and calls me a dork when I mention it...

YESSS....the mother of all Breakdowns happens on this song. What a Banger. One of my absolute favorites.....06:33 When the mean machine starts...with this machine gun drumming...and the hard hitting guitar.....if someone does not understand what Metal is about...show this to her/him. It explains everything. Nice Reaction ! Sometimes the Sky is Piano Black....always gets me. Finish Wacken off ow in Style with "Last Ride of the Day". And then lets continue the Journey to Wembley....you will like it....promised.

You guys are great I recommend the Opening Song from this Concert next Dark Chest of Wonders

I am From Argentina Neuquen!. Hi there! I grew up listening Nightwish! Love All Yours reactions!. You should listen to some songs with the previous singer Tarja! She really sings very well O.O See in the next!

Reaction inception... Great reaction!

I've found a solution for "wanting more" when the song ends before I want it too. I play it again. PS: I like you guys a lot. Fun people. I have Subscribed. Best wishes for the success of your channel.

Hello one kiss from italy 😀

You were right. It doesn't feel like it is not the end of the song just yet, because it really isn't. This live performance is only half of the whole track, which consists of the first 3 parts. The final part, Love, is a beautiful stanzas recited by "The loved ones & the fellowship", a group of people that closely connected to Nightwish. This final part never had and probably never will be performed live. You can check out their official track from the album Imaginaerum for a full complete set of the emotional roller coaster. Or if you are interested for full song live, I have this particular video with multiple extra footages from the same concert compiled into an 'extended version' to recreate the atmosphere and the impression of WHAT IF this song was performed live during Wacken 2013, here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oqddjKyYp8i2aXk.html (with lyrics).

EPICA!

Great reaction as usual. Please try Dead Boy's Poem next. Keep on Nightwishing on. 🤘😜🤘

You guys are awesome! such a cute couple. you are getting close to the big 3 (in my opinion) poet and the pendulum is from this show and you can't miss out on it. Do some research on it beforehand, the islander and the greatest show on earth. Also when you have the chance check out Marco and Tarja (pronounced Tarya) doing phantom of the opera. thats the first song I heard Nightwish perform and made me fall in love with them.

Scary story? Check out Scaretale. The lead in that song is the previous singer, Annette. She nails the witch sound and Marko plays the carnival barker well.

This song is like France Revolution: heads are flying. And you can't listen to this in the car, unless you think you'll survive the crash.

Dark Chest of Wonders, it was the opening act of the concert. Please put "High Hopes" on the list for later. A unique cover song (before Floor) where Marco is the lead singer while the previous singer was changing her outfit. I recommend you listen to the original by Pink Floyd first to appreciate what they created. Marco and the rest of the band were awesome.....just like you guys. Your reactions are always great, Steve Opstad said it perfectly.

Most of what you're reading is an extended spoken word piece after the song proper. This is where I'd encourage you to listen to the album version. I suppose it would have been impossible to stage so they projected the text on the screen. Part of Tuomas exploration of poetry. I find he and I love some of the same classics, in this case Walt Whitman.

This is everything that is said that you were reading. It's at the end of the album track: I see a slow, simple youngster by a busy street With a begging bowl in his shaking hand Trying to smile but hurting infinitely Nobody notices I do, but walk by An old man gets naked and kisses a model-doll in his attic It's half-light and he's in tears When he finally comes his eyes are cascading I see a beaten dog in a pungent alley He tries to bite me All pride has left his wild drooling eyes I wish I had my leg to spare A mother visits her son, Smiles to him through the bars She's never loved him more An obese girl enters an elevator with me All dressed up fancy A green butterfly on her neck Terribly sweet perfume deafens me She's going to dinner alone That makes her even more beautiful I see a model's face on a brick wall A statue of porcelain perfection beside a violent city kill A city that worships flesh The first thing I ever heard Was a wandering man telling his story It was you, the grass under my bare feet The campfire in the dead of the night The heavenly black of sky and sea It was us Roaming the rainy roads Combing the gilded beaches Waking up to a new gallery of wonders every morn Bathing in places no-one's seen before Shipwrecked on some matt-painted island Clad in nothing but the surf Beauty's finest robe Beyond all mortality we are Swinging in the breath of nature In early air of the dawn of life A sight to silence the heavens I want to travel where life travels Following its permanent lead Where the air tastes like snow music Where grass smells like fresh-born Eden I would pass no man, no stranger, no tragedy or rapture I would bathe in a world of sensation Love, Goodness, and Simplicity (While violated and imprisoned by technology) The thought of my family's graves was the only moment I used to experience true love That love remains infinite As I'll never be the man my father is How can you "just be yourself" When you don't know who you are? Stop saying "I know how you feel" How could anyone know how another feels? Who am I to judge a priest, beggar, whore, politician, wrongdoer? I am, you are, all of them already Dear child, stop working, go play Forget every rule There's no fear in a dream "Is there a village inside this snowflake?" A child asked me "What's the color of our lullaby?" I've never been so close to truth as then I touched its silver lining Death is the winner in any war Nothing noble in dying for your religion For your country For ideology, for faith For another man, yes Paper is dead without words Ink idle without a poem All the world dead without stories Without love and disarming beauty Careless realism costs souls Ever seen the Lord smile? All the care for the world made Beautiful a sad man? Why do we still carry a device of torture around our necks? Oh, how rotten your pre-apocalypse is All you bible-black fools living over nightmare ground I see all those empty cradles and wonder If man will ever change I, too, wish to be a decent manboy But all I am Is smoke and mirrors Still given everything, may I be deserving And there forever remains That change from G to E minor

sugestion: I Want my Tears Back in Buenos Aires 2018, fantastic song and amazing public.
