Ann Waychoff were the mother of the Nightwish Army. A very kind lady that's not with us any more. Ann always wrote some kind welcoming words to new reactors, telling them about Nightwish. This was her favorite song. Gabriel has taken over from Ann after she passed away, a few years ago.

There are a lot of very good symphonic metal bands out there, but there is only one Nightwish, because there will only ever be one Tuomas.

Floor isn't LIKE a goddess....she IS a goddess....

She puts her hands on her hips to windmill because it helps relax her neck and prevents injury.

hi Lanae. Floor sings together with her girlfriend Simone from the band Epica. think you like it. Epica- Sancta Terra(feat Floor Jansen) Retrospect show. greetings from the netherlands

Mother Nightwish Ann Whychoff's (RIP) favorite song!!!!

I was late to the NightWish (with Floor) party, only discovering them in 2020. After being a metal head since the 1980’s, they quickly became my favorite band ever. And over 4 years later, I still listen to them nearly everyday. ❤❤❤

Tuomas took most of the lyrics from the lengthy poem 'Song of Myself' That was written by Walt Whiteman, Poet Lauret of the USA, during his era. That was continually re-editted over 37 years, until his death 1855-First edition of Leaves of Grass published 1881-Song of Myself rearranged and expanded in final edition of Leaves of Grass 1891-Song of Myself published in Deathbed Edition of Leaves of Grass 1892-Walt Whitman dies and is buried in Camden, New Jersey

Dead boys poem. Poet and the pendulum and yours is an empty hope are all fantastic.

Floor puts hands on her hips for support doing the windmilling , A lot of people with do the Wacken whole show in 3 or four sections at a time its 15 song so you don't get strikes maybe consider doing sets of 4 songs in each recording , here is the complete best link for the whole show - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o-CTrJaSntecj2Q.html

You will,be amazed at the versatility of this band as you go forward. Even Floor ding the growling.

Only Nightwish can turn a breakdown into a verse this epic.

My Valkyrie Queen 🤘🔥. This was the song that Nightwish Captured me

I think it is an excellent idea to do the whole concert. In that way you will get a much better experience - you can feel the energi and the bond with the audience. It is very unique between Nightwish and the crowd, because they create a common sound experience with some serious stories as the red line - in cooperation with the crowd. Very few bands are able to do this as well as Nightwish

The hands on the hips is the only way to do that windmilling without chancing injury, especially as hard as she goes

Perfect whole flawless Nightwish concerts to react to... Wacken (Vocken) 2013 Wembley Buenos Aires Tampere TRUST ME!!!!

4:31 she is acting like a clown cause in that part the lyrics says : ¨smiling like a clown untill the show has come to a end¨

Every time this song ends, I always catch myself saying out loud. “Wacken open air…. “ And then the feeling of sadness knowing only one more song left in this tremendous concert.

ABSOLUTELY!! This show is EPIC!!

For you Ann RIP. ❤

I had an terrible Evening and an much more horrible Night. Its 6:56 AM over Here, and now i am ready for an great Day, after youre pure Joy hit me:) Thx Lady:) A midnight flight into Covington Woods A princess and a panther by my side These are Territories I live for I'd still give my everything to love you more RIP Ann, may you lead the Cohorts, wherever your Soul Rest. Stay healthy!

Best of Memories for Ann w. RIP This song is one that leaves so much for the reader/listener to interpret and apply to their own lot. BTW : love the pauses.

After Waken go to Wembly live concert

I would suggest doing an entire concert if you like, but try a different concert of theirs, that you have seen none of. They have three other full concert DVD''s with Floor but for you I'd choose Buenos Aires 2018 Floor has tattoos and her costume in that one will blow your mind, seeing as you like the visual aspect of her so much. There is however no bad choices when it comes to Nightwish live ..... \m/

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. I like very much that Gabriel have continue Ann s work.... so her heritage is still here.

Floor is a 6'1" Dutch Valkyrie Godess . Glad your enjoying the rabbit hole. Nightwish Army North Florida Airborne Div reporting in.

RIP Ann, And there forever remains that change from G to Em

R.I.P. Sweet Ann. Missing her kind soul. From Nightwish, there's so many more directions to go. All the solo projects from all the band. To all the connection bands. Floors husband is drummer for Sabaton. Kamalot will always have a special connection to Nightwish(Denver debacle).

Greetings from Nightwish Army, Palm Springs, CA! Thank you for praising Marko's vocals! As a veteran here, I suggest you *add* to Gabriel's list, the band's tribute to Pink Floyd with High Hopes, End Of An Era 2005. It's Marko at his best, and a must-see/hear Nightwish song. I would suggest checking out the original 1st... maybe a double reaction? RIP Miss Anne Waychoff. There is a 2nd version of this performance with a memorial tacked on... which is a multi-voiced spoken word poem that is part of the song as it appears on the album. (The words for which you just saw all across the big screen behind the band during this song). YES! Livestream all of Wacken 2013!

Wait until you see her outfit at Buenos Aires. It's awesome! Check the song I Want My Tears Back from Buenos Aires. So fun, and you will see Troy, another band member from the U.K. 😊

Do the entire concert!!

You can make reaction to whole concert. You can not miss. ALL songs are amazing. This concert is one of the best concert ever. They have audience in hand from begining to the end. They keep them high with extraordinary songs.

I feel so much joy about the fact that you have discovered Nightwish 😂

In my opinion "The poet and the pendulum" is the most iconic masterpiece - think you will love it!❤

🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 well done again and With your enthusiasm it is great to see and listen to the entire concert with you

KIITOS from Finland.More from Finland Next maybe ??? BATTLE BEAST NOORA LOUHIMO LIVE.

R.I.P Ann Waychoff mother of the Nightwish Army. June 28th, 2020 This is your song. If you ever have to explain the Groove in Metal to someone - play this tune. Until the Breakdown hits you with a 10 ton hammer it is all fun and games. But then the slow chugging monster with the machine gun riffing takes over. And for every Metal Head this lights up the day. Awesome….Imho one of the best songs ever. Sometimes the sky is piano black…. Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries and Stonehenge, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !

Rest In Peace dear Ann, we will never forget you. Nightwish Army South Germany. Of course I would like to see the whole concert with you Lanae. Rock on Mylady 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

One of my very top favorite songs My profile name comes from this song. If you want more Marco try "The Islander" at Tampere.

She puts her hands on her hips as it's proper technique to headbang/windmill without messing up her neck.

Great reaction Lanae 🙂 Floor is an enchantress - she draws you in, enthralls and seduces you. The whole band is incredible .... they make me grin like a maniac one minute, then bring tears to my eyes the next. Tuomas is a genius of epic proportions, and in Floor (along with the rest of the band) he has the perfect tool to manifest his vision and present something truly extraordinary. Together, they have a way of touching your soul. All the very best from the Canberra Regiment, Australian Division, Nightwish Army.

Great reaction 🎉 😘 This song reminds me of our "late general" ANN ❤; and always makes me think of her and send her love... Wherever she's at in the mother's embrace ❤ Nightwish are the first band to SUCCESSFULLY put Classical/Opera sound together with Metal/Heavy Rock sounds. (Freddy Mercury also did this..., but more with "Rock" than Metal.) Many bands have tried but have not been able to CONSISTENTLY be successful. Nightwish, they've inspired a lot of other "Symphonic Metal bands." (Check out Epica with Floor in "Sancta Terra") 😊 Looking forward to your next one... 😋

Forever Ann's song RIP x

4:30 she is pointing at her face because of the songtext "Smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end."

Another sweet reaction. My first concert too. You have a fantastic ride to go girl

I'ld love to see the hole Wembley show 2015. There are different songs including the big ones on your list.❤ Rip Ann

There's a version of this performance that someone made with subtitles and extended with the spoken words part from the studio version. It's a poem with a soft musical backdrop, sad and thoughtful, but it's worth checking it out (not necessarily as a new KZfaq reaction, since toy did the sting anyway), because it complements the message of the song perfectly. And yes, you're right. There is no band quite like them. There are still many bands telling stories theory their songs (best example is iron maiden), but nobody young to this extend to make the song being the soundtrack to the story. That's why you, except live) rarely see anyone stand out too much. They are creating a story and seeing a mood. I guess that's why the talent of Empuu is so overlooked, since he's rarely in the spotlight - he mostly does exactly hast a song needs.

Love the constant smile during this piece of Nightwish gold!

She puts her hands on her hips to keep her balanced while she's windmilling, so she doesn't become dizzy and also so she doesn't injure her neck.

Where as this concert is the general gold standard for Nightwish live however certain songs have great performances at other concerts. Very impressive considering Floor was still officially a fill-in singer after the other one left mid tour.

this concert never gets ''old'' SO GOOD the sound, the looks,✨🔥 fantastic🤘

They were founded in 1997. Greatest band formed between around 1985 through 2005. That's a 30 year period. Certainly one of my top 5 bands of all time.

Another great voice is Sharon den Adel from within temptation she can do a great job

If you watch “Greatest show on earth” watch the Tampere version! 😎🤘🏻🇫🇮

I love Tuomas' music, he is our metal Mozart, our national hero in my opinion 🤘I love this song, lyrics, melody, everything. And that Jukka's drumming and his style, I miss him so 🥁Always pleasure seeing him hitting those drums ☺ I have this Wacken 2013 DVD and I highly recommend that or reactinn the whole concert 🤘🤘

Floor and Nightwish: There's nothing better musically

At the end you will have reacted to all the numbers in this fantastic concert....there are no songs to miss....🙂 She IS a Godess.

Thank you for your great reactions and greetings from Finland, home of Nightwish and northern shamans. I've been on the Nightwish journey for more than twenty years, I've been to Live concerts of each of their vocalists several times, and yet they still impress me. I believe that you have also found a life-long partner... I am looking forward to your first LIVE meeting. It will be incredible and unforgettable. At least I hope we get it one day. Now this shaman of the north goes into the nightless night of midsummer together with millions of like-minded people. Be well.

Yes, do the whole Waken concert please

Of course we want. More Nightwish!

Perfect pronouciation!! well done!!

Welcome to the rabbit hole. Looks like you got hooked too. Really enjoying your reactions. Keep them coming and when you feel ready for the big bang (literally), start eyeing the Greatest Show on Earth in Wembley.

The smile on your face to Nightwish deserves a subscribe...so you got one. Thank you for reacting to Nightwish. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.

Thanks for sharing your cats & reaction to a song about recognizing the beauty of life, the importance of love, and the need for empathy and understanding in order to create a better world. P.S. You should also listen to the album version as it's much longer & more meaningful. It's on their 2011 "Imaginaerum" album. Steve Harris, the founder & main composer of Iron Maiden, considers this album one of the best he's ever heard. P.S. R.I.P. Ann Waychoff, who was a big fan & leader of the Nightwish army here on YT & considered this her favorite Nightwish song.

I'll watch the entire concert with you! So much to discover...

Absolutely. I recommend watching the whole concert. It's powerful

Good choice. A brief taste of Floor's low register

My favorite of their songs.

RIP ANN 🙏 Honey , you haven't heard grit from Floor yet....

For Ann, R.I.P. . Ann Waychoff , mother of Nightwish army , we still loving and missing you ❤❤❤🤘🤘

Yes, if you have the time do the whole concert. I love when new people discover this band!! I`ve been listening to them for over 15 years. I watch at least one concert, either on DVD or You Tube every saturday night.

Good one. One of my favorites. The whole concert would be great

Helo,greetings from Greece Nightwish army,yessss the holy concert pleseeee

One of best songs of Nightwish... I like your lively reactions. Keep 'em coming. Greetings from Finland.

Every reactor never fails to stop in the wrong place 🤣🤣🤣

Yes please react to the whole show❤. I would love (and think others would too) plus would give more context to the amazing vocal and musical stamina on display ❤

Floor is simply the whole package!

Yes!!!!! To whole concert 😃

Great reaction. Thanks, Lanae.

A definate for the whole concert.

Checkout Floor singing Lady Ga Ga's' Shallow' on Beste Zangers show 2019. She will blow you away. Infact anything from this show !

Welcome to the Nightwish Army! I recommend the song '7 Days to the Wolves' if you want gritty, growls and to see how far our favourite Valkyrie in human form Floor can produce you won't be disappointed. Oh, fantastic reactions video(s) and who cares how many times you pause! You do you as they say.

I would watch the whole concert with ya! I watch it all the time anyways.

Entire Wakken show please!

RIP Ann Waychoff🤘🎸

Yes I want!! 🤘🏾💪🏾🌹

"A midnight flight into Covington Woods A princess and a panther by my side These are Territories I live for I'd still give my everything to love you more" Who else can write these lyrics??! Tuomas is a goddamn' genius!

Its nice to see someone new get excited by one of my favorite bands. I was blessed to see them minus the original drummer(RIP), here in San Antonio a few years back. Had a blast. Also, if you really like her voice, you'll be blown away by her version of Phantom of the Opera with Hank Port, from Beste Zangers, get out the tissues, you'll need them.

Only Western world band that I listen nowadays..Others come from Japan, Nightwish is lifetime journey to humanity 🔥❤️ Magical band 🤘💥🇫🇮

This is one of my favs - "sometimes within is piano black" - piano black over pristine waters" Are you kidding me? The transition in this song, like so many others, is as close to perfection you can get. There appears to be no end to the brilliance of Tuomas. Floor and the players bring it together to make the magic. BTW, wait till you hear Floor growl, holy smokes she'll give you the chills. Damn, these guys are good.

Really looking forward to see you react to "The greatest show on earth" from Nightwish 😊

there are other similar bands but this is the best lol.

A good idea great concert 🤟🤟

Thanks❤

This is the try not to head bang challenge!🤘🎸

my favorite song

I’m so excited to watch your journey in discovering these guys!

No better combination of singers, Marko & Floor.🤟

I feel your excitement. Fun reaction very enjoyable. And yes Floor has some really cool styled outfits.
