You're amazing❤

Love it😊😊Very, very beautiful Floor. So soothing my 👂 4:30 am Arizona morning 😊😊😊❤❤❤🎤🎸🎵🎶🎵

It's another work of art! Sheer beauty!

This album is so amazing! You sang there so beautiful! Your voice and the emotions you have put into those songs moved me deeply! You're the best Floor!🥰🥰🥰 This acoustic version is even better than the original one!

Nightwish songs always sound better and more beautiful when performed live. Great job guys ❤

I wholeheartedly agree. His voice is amazing, too. The way it sounds when he harmonizes with Floor is beyond beautiful.

I agree. The man is amazing. In Nightwish all members are on top of their game. Insanely good. For me personally when she starts to starts to sing somethings happening to my emotions. ❤️❤️

To me, Floor is the best that happend to Nightwish, but Nightwish was always awesome.

Tuomas wouldn't invite an amateur to join the band, the guy has to be the absolute best in his field.

I agree

more like "yes, and i can sing too. "

@@vladescu3g They are all so talented, its ridiculous!!

;D

LOL. I don't think they were ever looking to become a sextet. Troy is an amazing multi-instrumentalist and all-round nice guy. I'm happy he can showcase his talents with NW. Heck he's been working on their albums since DPP.

Seriously man, youo made me laugh to tears

@Tony Montana what is the name of this interview sir?

@Tony Montana Thanks, but can't watch it in finnish tho. Hope this last album happens in a 30 years or so not earlier😀

@Tony Montana yeah, great 😍

Well, hopefully when the time comes for that last album (many years from now, hopefully) Floor will still be behind the microphone.

@@maxmattt yeah, she feets perfect for Nightwish, and its unimaginable to have them a 4 vocalist, so let's hope for Floorgasm in Nightwish another 20-30 years

That's the look and smile musicians give each other when they know they've absolutely nailed their performance.

he allready knew what before.

In the official video of Storytime, there is a point where Tuomas has a Floorgasm, knowing he's just hired the best female vocalist on earth to front his band.

@@stubones I saw that look in the Buenos Aires as well when Floor lit up on Ghost Love Score. Thoughts racing thinking about all the things he will now be able to write for that marvelous voice.

Well, since we get Floorgasms via the video, imagine how it must be sitting next to her.

Need too !!!

WE NEED THAT ACOUSTIC ALBUM! Absolutely.

Great! I think that i'm the only person in tears watching this video... I felt a little embarrased hahaha but not anymore after reading your comment...

It's okay no apologies, we are there with ya, hard to see the letters, you just wanted to make sure you where typing out our needs right, so big letters are needed to see through the blurry eyes. Enjoy

I cried too! Love this acoustic version.

Remove the word “female” from your statement.

@@bm625 I agree! Floor is definitely one of best vocalists of our time, period. She also happens to be a woman.

@Jason I love Iron Maiden and I love Bruce Dickinson but I have to humbly disagree.

Bener😭

im from the philippines theres are few who knew the band nightwish im the one of them im from the philippine marine corps! and im deeply in love of her voice so powerful as a rock!

U n me both Vince. Class of 84. Still she gets to me.

It isn't that bad

@@maxrav1831 it's wonderful 💪

@@warhammer5690 that's a good way to feel...

@@ThisIsTheMajor how Many legends did we see? 😎 and Floor ... OMG

And this song is difficult to sing as f*ck.

@@Fermion911 TUOMAS : So how difficult exactly can I write your voice lines for the next album ? FLOOR : Yes

Alexis DEJOUX as shown in Shoemaker, and others on Human : Nature!

@@ajohnwiersemaHonestly when I first listened to the album I started laughing soon after Floor started singing on track 1 "Music", thinking "How insanely hard and mesmerizingly beautiful thas verse has been written !" I felt like Tuomas wanted to be very clear and direct with us and tell us how high he thinks of Floor's singing :)

@@alexisdejoux7938 I'm not sure if Floor talked about this specific song but in some interview she told that he had to specifically ask for pauses to actually breath during the song because Tuomas was writing so hard parts for the latest record.

There is not many singers around campfires that can sing the latest material. That's my only complaint about it.

@@geromino2007 Think of it as built in copy protection :)

Nice Story: actually this song was written by Tuomas for Floor, describing her experience of meeting the love of her life (her hausband) and having her daughter (a Child of light).

@@marcofrassini9172 Another nice story: Floor's husband is the drummer of Sabaton :D

@@linak.922 Which is another fantastic band with Joakim "i hate my right leg" brøden(this is a fanbase joke haha"

@@marcofrassini9172 How do you know that?

@@Angela-gn8vj listen to the last Floor's podcast on spotify called "metal talks". It's divided in a few chapters, all really nice. One chapter is called "how are you doing?" And there she explain this detail. She putted a link to this podcast on her instagram page. However you can find it on spotify. Floor jansen , metal talk. Go check it out ;)

Tuomas once said in an interview that Floor is the last vocalist of Nightwish: If she leaves the band for some reason, the band will cease to exist.

@@SokolRock Floor also said that they couldn't get rid of her even if they wanted to. So we don't have to worry about that anymore. And I don't think that there is any person in this solar system who has the guts to step in her shoes.

After 25 years they're never going to do that, you need to stop dreaming. The mainstream music media has no respect for metal - period - and many of them don't even know what symphonic metal is. It would require a massive and hugely expensive charm effort by Nuclear Blast, which is their PR outlet as well as label and that isn't going to happen. I've never heard Nightwish played on UK radio, not once, ever. Settle for what you've got.

@@davidbentley4032 You don't need guts to join just a band. You only needs guts to replace Floor in Nightwish. And that is not going to happen, I mentioned the reason earlier. BTW, I received the sad message today that Ann Waychoff not with us anymore. RIP ANN.

Yeah !!!

Same here. I used to be Nightwish fan back in the day, as I followed them since they first came into existence. Then life happened and I lost music, my friends etc. but couple months ago I found Nightwish again, and somehow the music is melting the wall of ice around my heart. I didn't even know the icewall existed, I just thought the heart is scarred permanently.

🫂 hope you're doing well. This song is beautiful. I am also someone who hides emotions and has lost friends as they came and went away the moment school got over. I'm not too old (25) and I'm almost friendless. But found someone where it all came out. I'm glad that a friend of mine appreciates an emo side of me. And then comes this song. These are where we are vulnerable. Thanks to bands like NW to show us who we are i g. ❤

Do you want your tears back?

Listen to Elan and join for a drink!

@Silas Rodrigues No I don't, they belong to Floor & Tuomas now, They earned them.

@@silasrodrigues4838 take your thumbs up and leave

If you dehydrate, don't hesitate and drink them

Haha. Most underrated comment on YT. Pure gold.

Not really. There are a few really hard songs on the album (especially Music) but this one is definitely one of the easier ones. But despite that... Floor is indeed incredible.

the best female vocalist alive mate

The live performance here is mind blowing though - absolute mastery and brain melting.

@@A.HollerMusic the lighter vocals are rather hard to do for power singers. If floor were jewlie fowlis it be different this is a rather technical song rhythmically.

@@A.HollerMusic it is a difficult song to sing. He's not saying it is the hardest one. Lol

and even that would be Epic..

Bruce Dickinson might not like that. But I say the mantle would be in good hands.

You made laugh my socks off so funny :)

Maybe, but there is a risk. People might be gathering instead of making the way free for the emergency. Or, do you mentioned the old greek siren which made every man heard her absolutely fall for her.

Just emergency? No 😁

She did not mean to blow his mind, but that happens to her all the time.

@@paradoxless5596 good one :)

I thought that Troy´s gonna be blown away like a leaf in front of a train horn at that moment.

Troy is magician in real life! He does all sort of amazing tricks. There is a video on KZfaq of him wowing the rest of the band soon after they met him after the recording of DPP.

Fun fact, this is how they came up with some of the harmonies for this album: Troy, Floor and Marko sitting around the campfire.

an R34 GTR, or just a GTR?

@@fleksimir GTR Nismo

They performed this song acoustic when I saw them in london a few weeks back, it was the first time i heard the song and i refuse to listen to the album version because i know it'll never compare to this or what i heard that night

@@thatperson_whoplaysguitar2455 I was at that performance too! That rendition was fantastic, it was so moving

And the aioli, too.

lol hahah loved this comment

How about Tartar sauce? Lol

@@fioriremakeup833 only on the heavier songs

Hope you don't mind... I'm having that on a Tshirt. Thanks and a big hug from Spain

I saw someone doing a piano cover of music and it made me cry again. Didnt help that you could tell the guy himself was fully feeling it as he played.

Quite possibly the best vocalist ever... And we are lucky enough to be alive to listen to Her.

I know just how you feel. I am 70 and their songs have re-opened corridors in my life that I thought had been shut forever. I could listen to this song forever.

@@mikegershon8528 I'm 47 and stopped listening to music almost completely after metal was replaced by grunge in the 90's. Then about 5 years ago, a random post on reddit asking about metal bands with singes who sing rather than scream, led me to the 2013 nightwish show. I had meant to just listen to a couple songs to see if it was any good and ended up sitting through the entire show, probably with a really stupid grin on my face. That was it, I was completely hooked on symphonic metal and metal in general again.

@@Liatni kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLWiq91725y-ipc.html

Most singers sing what the can. Floor sings what she wants. She can do it all.

Aren't we all? She's just a very nice gift, much nicer than most of us.. :P

@@inflatable2 A gift that humanity doesn't deserve, but God in his Mercy still granted it to us.

Well the netherlands is below sea level for the most part so you could argue a gift from below ;-)

If you haven’t already, you should check out her performances of Nemo and Bridle Passion from the Muziekcafé session which are pretty stripped down.

Same.

Troy played 5 or 6 instruments in the new album :p

Some say that guitar is too simple for Troy. For example, instead of simply playing lead guitar for "While Your Lips Are Still Red" during the Wembley gig, he used an E-Bow just for fun: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a7xng66nmZ-XeZc.html

@@MikkoRantalainen 'for fun' love to see it

If he weren't that good, he wouldn't be playing it for Nightwish.

Troy 's voice is a male angel voice:)of course he can sing:)

Great guitar playing with great vocals and brilliant song what more can I say well done floor and troy

real mvp

Sadness to read. I wish you a lot of strength.

19th of August...I know how you feel...It's the same part for me. And the same path to go.

So sorry to know of this. Wishing you strength and healing. 🕯💔

It hits hard to for me, I'm infertile.

And he's keeping it warm for her.

That was supercool!!

It’s always heartwarming to see people genuinely enjoy what they’re doing. In this case, it’s giving us listeners one of the greatest vocal showcases and acoustic backup ever.

ikr, is there an instrument he doesn't play ?!?

@@wherermytacos5903 I don't know, but I'm eagerly awaiting the time he casually pulls out a didgeridoo on stage haha

@@NikosDriehuis that would literally be the happiest day of my life

Troy is... unique

he was fingerpicking that whole song...

Too bad the album is unlistenable!

@@TheVigiIante ?? You broke your CD -player/phone/pad/computer or... Ears? Hands down the best album I’ve heard in more than ten - no, let me count - in twenty-seven years. And I’ve listened a lot. The first listening was quite confusing, I have to admit. I was almost disappointed. But when I started it over. Boom! It seems my brains needed the first round to adjust :). Now I can’t stop playing it.

@@fiorelainen623 I felt like broking my cd player! But not going to argue, you like it, fine, still better than most modern music...but best thing in years....please stop the xanax or whatever shit is prescribed to you. Btw Tuomas solo album was same mood, but much better, do you agree?

@@TheVigiIante No, I don’t agree :). But I wholly understand why some metal fans, or Nightwish fans, or even ”general good music” fans don’t like it. There are no ”hits” on this album. I hated Harvest at the first listen. I still don’t like to listen to it, but after listening the whole album I totally understand its place on the track list. The solo album was good with most parts. More mellow. Some great music in it. But I didn’t like the excessive use of spoken word. And it was repetive. But if you mean with the comparison the second part of this album... well. The solo album was better. There are lots of similarities. But if we are talking about the whole album, this is great. It is not easy. Or poppy. Or might not even be progressive enough for some. But the last album that made the same kind of affect on me was released in 1995 (I did remember the year wrong afterall in my first comment). And the 1995 album wasn’t a metal album :). And Nightwish as band didn’t even exist back then. Totally different genre(s). And it still is a masterpiece after all these years. I’ll hope this Nightwish album will too.

@@fiorelainen623 Interestingly, for me was Harvest the track that put me into this album as I was quite dissapointed with Noise. It´s different, just as any other NW albut has its own style. But i love it more and more, especially Music. I don´t understan why people call it "poppy" as it shows the structure of prog. Just because it is not "hard" enough?

Nice to hear. I discovered NW in 2019 ( Floor in ‘ De Beste Zangers’, Dutch tv program) and now a huge fan. Indeed it enrich your live. Greetings from the Netherlands

Never too late friend

Welcome to the Nightwish army!

Sure she only TOUCHES you ur soul. She TOOK mine three weeks ago on first hearing of GLS

Holy crap I completely agree, this was something else for sure especially towards the end...both of them, just incredible!

Yea Troy is a really impressive musician all around.

Troy's and Floor's voices blend amazingly well. Also, his guitar work on this is perfect with the vocals! I am wholly impressed with his classical playing here.

His lower vocal range perfectly compliments floors higher capabilities.

Tarja fanboys and Planet Rock fans who are mad because this isn't rock.

there are 41 evils in this world...

The Edema Ruh!

I'm from Flint Mi and I read that and thought "yeah Floor does have some Flint in her." She's had to fight and it's so good she is getting all the love she deserves now.

Yes!! That's amazing!

yeah, I heard that too. Tuomas likes to do that. A lot of songs have references to other songs.

Nice Story: actually this song was actually written by Tuomas for Floor, describing her experience of meeting the love of her life (her hausband) and having her daughter (a Child of light). So touching. Of course the reference to Elan is also present, but the personal reference to her friend is also present and touching.

@@marcofrassini9172 Elan was also the first single featuring Floor, so it's a double reference to Floor ;-). Btw there are more references to Floor on the album ;-)

@@marcofrassini9172 in an interview by Floor she said she met him in a bar and approached him wanting to share whiskey and smoke a cigar...not by a cliff by the sea. Unless that bar was on a cliff by the sea?

Exactly, since Floor joined, i prefer to listen to the live versions

@@evakamenna2916 I'm the same. Floor seems to step it up just a bit performing live to take it to another level. That said the end of Shoemaker is amazing.

It's always the live versions where the real musician shines.. Because live you have perform the song as whole, as a work of art, not like in the studio where you can record in pieces, splice the best takes together...etc. But to perform live the musician must really be in control of the whole piece, and that is where the true masters shine...

Agree with Shoemaker...

What d'you mean...'might'?
