I always said it: the biggest loss of Nightwish wasn't Anette or Tarja, it was Marco

This is just one more example of why Marko is considered a living legend in the music world.

Short, sweet, and simple. A rare specimen in the Nightwish catalog, but live oh so powerful.

Marco, Floor and Troy on the Ebow = magic 😍

Marko at his best! So nice to hear Floor providing a very sympathetic backing for him - absolutely divine!

Yes, one of the most beautiful ballads I know, and then even better live than on CD. This is Nightwish!

Originally this was made for a movie " Lieksa" .

Boss-level: Floor Jansen as background singer.

My best friend ever since high school went with me to see Nightwish in 2016. This was a favorite before that and meant more after. She passed away three years ago, but this song brings back glad and comforting memories ❤️

I played this song for my fiancé. He loved it. I’m trying to convert him into a Nightwish fan lol.

Thanks guys and who wouldn't want Floor as your backing singer. His performance of Endlessness on the Human II Nature album is superb and The Islander live at Tampere. And at the other end of his Nightwish spectrum is Master Passion Greed. And of course the tribute performance of the Pink Floyd song High Hopes in 2005. However so pleased that the recent Hellfest concert was so good even without him.

I walked down the altar to this song ❤

Nightwish Army 👍👍

Sometimes it is the quiet tones that are particularly powerful.

Such a great song! Something i find interesting is how it continually builds in intensity, then feels like it ends too soon every time (for me at least). Very fitting!

So beautiful song. I love it so much 💜 and Marko 👌💜

I love the way Troy plays the guitar. He appears to use a similar technique to when he's playing the pipes, wringing emotion out of the instrument.

One of my twenty most favorite songs. Haha. Besides Marko's awesome vocals and Troy's awesome eBow, this performance really shows how humble Floor is. As the lead singer, she's the face of Nightwish. And where is she for the first half of the song? Sitting on the drum platform, giving Marko center stage. I love this band!

Well, when you're such a good singer that you can get Floor to do the harmonies...

I keep crying a little with this song.. Uuuff... So so emotional..

Not even a metal song, this was composed for a movie and performed just by Marko, Jukka and Tuomas, but I'm glad they have this live version with the full band (minus Emppu lol) in Wembley It's really a gorgeous song

I allowed myself a little grin when you interrupted Charlene at the exact same moment you were saying how respectful the set-up was

This song was written for Marko on the lead, and Anette did the harmony. Though Floor has taken over from Anette it means not that this song is now for her to do the lead. Still she is able to add some subtile Floor-ish elements, such as a crescendo, which is her speciality. Floor and Marko could sing together and create magic.

we will so miss Marco because of how well Floor and Marco blend together, just meant to be...........

If you want more of Marko singing, you need to listen "Endlessness" from their last album "Human Nature"! AMAZING SONG

Man your ears are liking this :D

Yep, crying as usual. Thank you those 4 months. I still miss you !! 🌹

This isn't really a Nightwish song. Tuomas and Marko wrote it for a Finnish movie called "Lieksa" ( The Matriark ). But it did become part of their repertoire anyway. Guess it's off the set list since Marko left. And it's a song where Emppu gets to rest. 😁

Nightwish has been a blessing to me from the beginning. I came aboard after Floor joined, but I have heard Tarja and Annette both sing and they were excellent. But in this song, and Islander, MARKO truly shines. He will be missed!

Thanks for keeping reacting to Nightwish ❤️

Just a gorgeous song in every way

I don't know how to say this aloud? You guys are the Real Thing

I agree, The Islander and High Hopes are excellent Marco songs. And while not the lead he is wonderful in Everdream from Wacken 2013 and Phantom of the Opera

Nightwish Army UK popping in. How many singers can say they had Floor as a backing singer :)

Nothing surpasses their two voices in harmony

Goosebumps every time

MARKOOOO 👍🤘🤘🤘

Just a beautiful song! Marco is just brilliant with the lead vocals, and he puts so much emotion into the song. Brings tears into my eyes thinking about a new love that is far away right now..

I know the difference between kissing the person I love when their lips were red and hot and.........then blue and cold. This song always reminds me of the best moments I had with my wife but also the worst moment of my life. I will always love you SONIA. 🧡🤎🖤🧡🤎🖤🧡🤎🖤🧡🤎🖤🧡🤎🖤🧡🤎🖤

Such a beautyfull song . When you watch the video of the whole Wembleyconcert after this songs ends Floor points at Marco and shouts out his name , Marco gently thanks Floor , real sweet to see ❤

Lifetaker!

Thanks

Hi again guys. Love this little song by Marko. Very emotional reaction to a song that always brings me shivers. By the way, we finally have a challenger to the Wacken 2013 show for the best Nightwish concert ever. On last Saturday I had the wonderful opportunity to watch the live stream of Nightwish's hour-and-a-half performance before a crowd of 60,000+ at Hellfest 2022. I pity the band that had to follow them on stage. With Nightwish's permission, ARTE (French and German Television) posted the full concert video. Nightwish and Floor also commented on the video. I would love to see you react to this show. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pr95i5R73siaZHk.html Here's the setlist: 0:07 Music (intro) 1:00 Noise 6:30 Planet Hell 11:00 Tribal 15:10 Élan 19:40 Storytime 25:20 How's the Heart? (Non-Acoustic Version) 30:25 Dark Chest Of Wonders 35:00 I Want My Tears Back 41:00 Nemo 45:45 Sleeping Sun 50:10 Shoemaker 55:30 Last Ride of the Day 1:00:15 Ghost Love Score 1:11:00 The Greatest Show On Earth 1:24:35 Ad Astra (applause)(Floor singing)

Fun fact: Marco showed up at a metal festival in Finland last month as part of Northern Kings. Northern Kings - We Don't Need Another Hero, Tuhdimmat Tahdit, Nokia.

The song is so good, Marko is just awesome The Ebow guitar was magnificent, just as good as the violin in the original video I really enjoyed your reaction

that E-bow takes some skill to play.

Lovely reaction guys! A gorgeous ode to innocent love. Marko's voice is so emotional and vulnerable which perfectly fits the lyrics. Makes me tear up everytime.

in the original version there were no guitars or female vocals at all. See official great video.

Thanks for your great reaction 😊 Marko is AWESOME 🥰❤! This is a beautiful song. Nightwish 🤩😍

The end always felt like the theme to an 80s tv show

Lovely reaction to a beautiful song guys...

Hey you beautiful people 🍀 Nice see you again. Greetings from the Netherlands 🤘🏻🇳🇱

phenomenal. fantastic. beautiful🌹😍😍😍

If you like this, you need to check out 'Auri' side project with Tuomas, Troy and Johanna Kurkela. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f7N3rM6p2MulnJc.html

damn ninjas cutting onions

I wish this song was double the lenght.

Ayreon - Valley Of The Queens (Ayreon Universe) with the lyrics = guaranteed tears.

Northern kings

All was said here about Marco's performance, and about Troy's playing that e-bow. So now focus on Floor's backing vocal. I mean it has such amount of touch you can't find anywhere else. And it is live! I mean there are vocalists that have 99,9% of the what i call "touch" but this is freakin 100%. I can't believe my ears. And combining it with other band members having also 100% touch (I mean, f.e. Kai delivers that vibe man...)...the whole outcome can't be other that perfect. :)

this songs remind me that kevin costner robin hood movie and there that song what was everything i do i do it for you, bryan adams song. same mood. what a beautiful songs both :) thanx to great reaction and have wonderful weekend. marko music head of finish heavy in world.

Marco = Tarot

🇬🇧 Norfolk with you guys on this one ☝️ And floor as a backing singer

I wish you would have reacted to the gorgeous music video, it’s absolutely stunning

👋👋👋😍😍😍🤘🤘🤘

crying towel ready

On the studio version they use a violin instead of an Guitar played with an E-bow.

saludos from.Chile....u should listen to: high hopes (PF cover 1 fav song of PF) marko at his best. death boys poem Buenos Aires....prepared for 1 of personal thuomas song...saludos

Lets hope he got the T shirt (Floor Jansen was my backing singer) anther Norfolk bod .

You should watch this song's videoclip.

Hi there, great reaction Please check out "The Islander" from the Tampere show Greetings from Sweden

Sadly we won’t see that again

This song IS Powerful and Beautiful ..... I Love this song ( despite the Onion ninjas 🙃). NWSU 🤘😎🤘.

You might just ENJOY TAROT!! This is the band Marco and his older brother,,,,,ahm whycantieverrememberhisname 😭😭 Anyways! They formed Tarot in the early eighties and they are quite a study worth 🤗🤗 Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰🇩🇰

Time to do the islander.

👏👏

I have a Question about the E Bow.. Can i use it with an E - Bass?

Can you tell me what was that metal song in the beginning intro to your video? Thanks u

GREAT REACTION guys I have goosebumps when TROY runs of MARCO'S VOCALS it's STUNNING by TROY a huge talent and then some.

dat Roy die dat viool geluid speelt

If you thought things were bad in 2015 ... 😟

Raskasta joulua tolkoon joulu

There is one thing I don't like in this song. It's way too SHORT!!! And about Marco... as you may know, he was in masked singer Finland (and won of course), every song he sang was in different voise. Nobody didn't recocnise him :-D

We are Neo Prog & we don’t care.

I was doing fine until Floor joined in, then I had to reach for the tissues. Question: Was Troy's reverb added as an effect or is that the sound created by the e-bow?

The only thing wrong with this song .....its too short .

The only con I have about this song is .... It's too freakin' short!!!!!!

🥲🇫🇮❤️🎶🎹🎤🎸🥁🌞🤘 💋
