Marko and Tarja reconciled / "cleaned the table" in 2017, when they were both on the "Raskasta Joulua" tour in Finland and beautifully sang together "Ave Maria" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y5iVYLN62Lu8eKM.htmlsi=R1D6hNfnQ6G3l-Tq They both then, in the following years had health problems and separate music careers (and lives), so it's understandable that they weren't really in touch for some time after. But they were already ok again in 2017. Then last year (summer 2023) both Marko's solo band and Tarja's solo band were booked to play 2 festivals on the same day. 1st was in Switzerland, 2nd in Finland and Tarja took the initiative to ask Marko to sing 1 song together on stage with her (at her show). Switzerland one is very emotional and worth it for that kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l5iFm8VkrceUdYU.htmlsi=iA-2tNyVRPBqdAAF , but I think as a vocal and general performance, the later Finland one is better of the two kzfaq.info/get/bejne/huCmetZyl8qdc2w.htmlsi=BfmQ46A8nuQXQ_KG Marko brought to Switzerland the demo to "Left on Mars" to ask Tarja to join him on it. They have been singing it live since the 28th of february, the first show day of the tour they are doing together now. RIGHT NOW: Marko and Tarja are touring together in south america and will also do festival shows in the summer. They seem to be friends again. Both will still have their separate music careers as their main job, but they will also tour and record some stuff together again occasionally, going forward. The following songs are the ones they have sung together on the current tour, with a few links to better quality fan videos. On the tour every night Marko sings 5-6 acoustic songs solo before Tarja sings ~6 songs alone with her full band, then Marko joins her for ~6 songs, Tarja sings few more alone again and they will do the last one together.

I really love this song for more than one thing...of course having Tarja and Marko singing together is such a great thing! Their voices compliment each other so well..& it shows they have left the past behind! Oh...as for the music...as I believe Marko is 58 years old...as I am 66....so I believe Marko might have been a Led Zeppelin fan in the mid to late 1970's. The opening of the song has a definite homage to Led Zeppelin's hit song, Kashmir. It may take you a few times listening to the song...but I knew right away that Marko knew exactly what he was doing!!! This song is a masterpiece... and I will be listening to it many, many times!

The thing is you always know it's Marko singing & you always know it's Tarja as well. This is great

Those 2 were always so good together!

I really want more Tarja and Marko together🎲

Oh yeah they’ve been talking about reuniting for months now. I can’t wait to hear this song.

Thank you for the reaction !! The song is awesome they still sound incredible together🎉🎉

Sam, thanks for your reaction, good as usual. Marco sounds incredible since his return. Would suggest you to react to Marco's collaboration with gorgeous ladies from Exit Eden - Run.

On 11th April they had over a million views.

Love them both, ❤❤

No, I’m crying as if I were with them again twenty years ago....

Such an incredible colaboration!

I don't know how Marko managed this, but the sound of the song is alien somehow, you feel like you're on another planet.

Aren't they great??????? Have been listening to this about 20 times already and I'm loving to be able to listen to their voices blend so epic together. Also the baseline is so haunting.

Thanks for your reaction. I saw them in Mar del Plata, Argentina 🇦🇷 on March 1, 2024 . It was an amazing performance. Their voices blend so well , gorgeous 🥰. This song sounds beautiful live. I didn't record this song because when Marko said it was new, I really prefered to listen carefully 😊. Btw I left two of my videos of that show... The Phantom of the Opera kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q6iBqMiGtLutfaM.htmlsi=OKR3z3sBfakq5kV1 and Dead to the world kzfaq.info/get/bejne/haiCfMeGsrzPlJs.htmlsi=IV4yRrWeazV6lCl3

Gracias por reaccionarlo ✌🏻🤘🏻

It's like I'm back in the 2000s...

Definitely they don`t go for operatic feeling, most likely for purpose! This is more like power metal style… and I like it! It would be boring to them to mimic Nightwish! They do something very different in here, even the genre still is metal, it is different metal.

Yes there is a live version from brazil 2024

THANKS !!!!!! Been binge watching this fabulous song and video along with their current epic tour together ☮☮💘💘💥💥

Wow

That was a great reaction.... You need to react to Putri Ariani's version of Who I Am or Perfect Liar❤❤❤❤❤

All hale the REAL TRUE QUEEN 👑 and KING 👑 of NIGHTWISH!!!, the very beautiful looking and very unique voice of the enchanting TARJA and MARCO!!😀👍👍🤘

If Sam is interested then I am interested. Ok. What did I heard? That is more or less in my dark moods ally... 😍🤩

The main riff is kind of like Kashmir and the drums remind me of John Bonham

Thanks for your kool vocal analysis too ☮☮💘💘

I did enjoy this one, but i just can't take you seriously anymore after your history as reaction channel. Still, i do genuinely appreciate that you continue doing this. I wish all the best for you!

can u react to one ok rock take what you want tokyo dome tour live

In fact there are some, as Marko is doing Tarja's tour with her. Below is one of the videos I found with the best sound quality. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNCIldyazpOqgqc.html And this recording is closer to the stage and perhaps the sound is not as clean, but it's still a great recording kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hKuCisuTzavbXXk.html

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hKuCisuTzavbXXk.htmlsi=JM8O-44z8TgGzYA5 here is the link to their live performance of this awesome song!!! The magic of their combined voices has never faded . Thank you for a wonderful reaction 😊

TWO FRIENDS TOGETHER FOREVER❤❤

I love Tarja and Marko my fellow finns. But how is it that you have never heard a similar type of song before? My take is that Led Zeppelin left them on mars with one single. Kashmir.

Plz react on bts v news song friends

I like Tarja whit operatic voice, I dont like her voice in these songs. Her ”normal” voice is not honey to my ears. She is just a mediocre singer to my opinion.
