We might have told you already but it might help you to know Tuomas uses several pseudonyms to refer to himself in various Nightwish songs which he writes from experiences, observation or imagination, he says he is a man with a boy's heart, a grown-up Peter Pan, and you will see that directly in places even when he uses boy narrators sometimes in place of himself. Digging into his lyrics is almost a second bite of the cherry. He will also use poet, dreamer, writer/song writer or ocean soul - Tuomas has an affinity for the ocean, he was studying to be a marine biologist. So here, "A writer by a fire. . . . . ." Tuomas is speaking to you directly, he is the story-teller, the “writer by the fire” - "Took a journey into a child-man’s heart" would be Tuomas remembering the childhood stories, the Peter Pan escapades of his imagination and fascinations, but the boy has grown up from being a Peter-Pan, the crib is empty. Floor sings the bridge "Neverland, innocence, dreams of every man. . . . . ." in a high operatic head voice, a pitch you might expect from a very excited small boy. Now, go look at all the lyrics and the references to the childhood classic stories and it all drops into place; it's one of the songs where it is easy to dig inside Tuomas' metaphoric lyrics and unravel them. Where am I watching from. . . . . . .SW France near Limoges. The seriously superannuated British overseas detachment of the Nightwish Army, south-west France. Good stuff, you keep at it, Nightwish will not disappoint.

I'm glad that you decided to continue this journey of discovery, where each song is unique. Nightvish's music proved to be for many of us a portal to a real musical universe, which we would never have reached if we had followed the mainstream music path. I await with great curiosity your next steps in this journey of discovery 🤘

Watch the documentary "Learn the setlist in 48 hours". It is the story of how Floor joined the band.

Not that long ago Floor appeared on a Dutch tv programme called Beste Zangers (best singers). A small group of diverse singers got together in an intimate setting and sung each other’s songs or songs that meant something to them. It kick started Floor’s solo career alongside Nightwish. Check out her version of Lady Gaga’s “Shallow” or her singing Phantom of the Opera with the original Dutch phantom. They will blow your socks off!

I am 69 years old and discovered Nightwish in 2019. You are experiencing the same thing I did. There is a quality to Floor’s voice that, for me, is undefinable. But it grabbed my soul the first time I heard it. Thankfully, Floor was fronting a tremendously talented group of musicians with a brilliant composer as their leader. The music of Nightwish is just as captivating as Floor’s voice. For me in the 2000s there have been many songs by a variety of artists that I’ve enjoyed, but Nightwish is the ONLY band that has captured my solid interest-to the point of buying albums, concert DVDs, and finally seeing them live. You are very lucky to have now discovered Nightwish for yourselves. It’s going to be really hard for you to pace yourselves to allow for reactions production. I had the luxury of going on a binge; there is a lot to enjoy from a band that’s been performing for more than 25 years. And every song they perform only solidifies their greatness. My recommendation: stay with the performances from this 2013 Wacken concert for a while. This concert was magical. Floor had been with band at this point for only a matter of months, after she replaced Anette Olzon in late 2012 (you can delve into the reasons for this on your own); Floor was not an official member of the band during this performance. Wacken is the largest metal festival in the world, and Nightwish was headlining the final night. And, NW was capturing high quality video and audio for a Blu-Ray DVD production (which you can get). This concert encapsulates what is, essentially, a “Best Of” collection of pre-2013 NW songs. Watching this concert you can witness the joy on the faces of all the band members as they know for certain that they best female singer on the planet now in their band. Every song is a winner. My favorites (besides the two you’ve already done) include Song of Myself, Romanticide, Everdream, Nemo, Last Ride of the Day, Ghost River… hell, they’re all good! Enjoy!!

Floor has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. It does stupid things to my brain lol. Nightwish captivates on a whole different level.

Floor Jansen is a true sensitive empath. What does that mean? She feels the feelings of others and these have a direct effect on her. This is a blessing and a curse. Furthermore, she also seems to give off these feelings back to her listeners through her appearance and her singing voice and speaking voice. That's why a lot of people feel their song on a completely different level. You feel for her when she speaks and sings. She has an huge warm radiance.This all sounds more esoteric than it is in the description.

Think about 3 or 4 years ago, the GODDESS was asked in Dutch TV about the "Floorgasm"...... SHE laughed and said SHE knows what it is, but sadly never had experienced it........🤣🤣🤣 Greetings from the Nightwish Army South Germany. Rock on 🤘🤘🤘

I am from Holland and a 68 year old Nightwish and Floor fan, probably the worlds best female singer right now. You should also listen to her solo album, and her performance at the dutch tv show Beste Zangers(best singers). And last but not least and thats why we also love her so much she a very kind and sweet and humble person.

Hello from Nova Scotia, Canada. I discovered Nightwish 4 years ago and have become a complete fan. I'm in my 70's and had stopped listening to most music until this unique, captivating and extremely talented group entered the picture. I hope you enjoy the journey. I by far enjoy the Floor era creations with a couple of exception from the previous singers. Enjoy the ride!!

Nightwish has so many different sounds... You have only just begun the journey!

Nightwish Arny Finland division checking in ... you never get tired of them, have listening to them for over 20 years, and still do 😊

Be Prepared .... Thousands And Thousands And Thousands Views!!! Big Nightwish Army Around The World Is Coming!!! Only Nightwish Can Do That!!!

Nightwish’s music is felt even more than heard. It touches places deep inside you that remind you of places within yourself you haven’t been in a while. Floor is an Enchantress. Her energy can penetrate any defenses you’ve put up over decades.

Great reaction from you both - completely real and genuine 👍👌 Greetings from 65 years old Danish Nightwish Army member 🇩🇰

Nightwish Army Germany, Bavaria watching and enjoying your ride with Nightwish and the Valkyrie Godess Floor Jansen. Keep it up! 🐺🤘

Good afternoon from Neolithic England (40 miles North of Stonehenge), and I wanted to thank you both for your enthusiasm and genuine affection for this excellent band. Floor had only been with the band 10 months at this point, and this particular concert would have been the biggest (82,000) of her career. Thank you once again. Kevin

Floor is FLOOR , THE VALKYRIE and Tuomas the genius. Greetings from nothern Germany

FLOORGASM ALERT !!!!!!!, fantastic reaction thank you from Pennsylvania (USA) division .

Greetings from the Netherlands. Hearing Mrs. Coach say that there is something about Floor's voice thats intrancing is something thats said a lot and i totally agree. It has an unearthlike quality which is why we as fans are in the believe that she is secretly a Valkyrie that has been send down from Valhalla to capture the minds and hearts of humanity. She is absolutely on another level with her voice. And you wil both experience that more and more the deeper you go into the rabbithole.

Hello ! I live in the South of France, I'm 51. I'm a Nightwish's fan since 1999. Back then, Tarja Turunen was the female singer and the first song I have heard was "Sacrament of Wilderness". This group instantly captured my attention ! 🥰

Having seen them three times now, I can assure you that you are correct. Floor has an extraordinary stage presence and command of the audience! It doesn't hurt that she's 6'1" standing barefoot in sand. Those stage heels put her closer to 6'5"!!!

NWA chapter Thuringia/Germany reporting 🇩🇪 Mrs Coach is right, Floor's voice is something else, it touches me emotional like no other singer ever did. You will come across to songs where you will tear up for no reason, just because of the voice. I entered the NW rabbit hole 4 years ago ( lock down time) and haven't left ever since. I own now all of their albums and dvds. I was lucky enough to see 2 of their shows in December 2022. Next time they will tour, we'll take time off work and follow them through Europe for 2 or 3 weeks. All the best to you. ☘🇺🇸

Dear Mrs Coach & Mr Coach, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your authentic and fascinating style. Your video on "Storytime" by Nightwish not only captivated me but also brightened my day. Your passion and energy are contagious, making watching you a true experience. The song "Storytime" by Nightwish is a powerful anthem that invites us to immerse ourselves in a world full of fantasy and magic. The lyrics speak of the power of stories that inspire us and ignite our imagination. In conjunction with your reaction to the song, the message becomes even more palpable. Your enthusiasm and deep connection to the song have shown me how music can bring people together and evoke emotions. Your interpretation brought the lyrics to life and inspired me to reflect more deeply on the meaning of stories and dreams. Thank you for sharing your passion with us and for giving us an unforgettable moment through your reactions. I look forward to more videos from you and to delving into the world of music together. Many greetings from the middle of Germany

Hello I have some info on Floor Jansen for you here. She is married to Hannes Van Dahl, drummer of the Swedish power metal band Sabaton. Together they have 2 daughters (Freja & Lucy) Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 3 octaves (C3 to F6). Re-singing style ranges from opera to screams and grunts. She usually sings in English, in addition she has also sung songs in Dutch, German, Spanish, Finnish, Latin, Italian and Swedish. Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg with classmates Jacqueline Govaert and Danny Vera, where she graduated in 2003. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she cool singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016. From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour. On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020. Greetings from the Netherlands.

Miss Floor Jansen, queen of metal, Nightwish ghost division NYC. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

The drum bridge in this song, leading into Floors operatic vocals, is one of the greatest pieces of rock/metal music ever.

Hi. Nightwish army central Connecticut battalion here. I'm well into my 3rd year of Nightwish fandom after picking up their CD "Once" at a thrift store. I love watching the reaction channels to try and recapture what i experienced when first listening to their music.

Nightwish - EVER DREAM - Live at 2013

Your initial reactions are captivating and bring a smile to my face. The wonder of the magic of Nightwish with their Valkyrie Goddess tends to capture many hearts. Be sure to know the Filapina Brigade will will be following your journey.

All 3 female singers are phenomenal in their own right 🤘🏻💥🔥🙏🏻💯

❤🇫🇮 you two for entertaining us with a song about the beauty of storytelling and imagination suggesting that within each person is a "crib of Peter Pan," a reference to the timeless children's story, which holds the potential to bring stories to life and provide a refuge from reality. With this song Nightwish encourages everyone to open the endless "chest of tales" to explore the limitless possibilities o'f imagination. P.S. When Floor first joined Nightwish, she had only 48 hours to learn their entire setlist of 15 songs. There's a documentary of this here on KZfaq titled "Nightwish - Please Learn The Setlist In 48 Hours (HD Remaster + Correct Speed + Subtitles). Just remember to turn CC on should you watch it.

I discovered them four years ago and have never stopped listening to them. I watch every reaction done of them it never gets old. Even floors solo music if it has Floors name on it I watch it,

Nightwish Army, Republic of Texas. Reporting in

A big Hi from London in the UK. I discovered the band completely by accident in a music review during lockdown. I've been in love ever since, and took the first opportunity I could to see them live in concert with my 18 year old daughter (I'm 49). It was a fantastic evening. My whole journey with discovering the talent and variety of Nightwish has been enchanting, and I do hope you continue to do more reactions to this band. As a side note, if you;re up for documentaries on Bands, then on yourtube there is a nightwish documentary called "Learn the set list in 48 hours". You don;t necessarilty have to watch it live on the channel, but it will give you a great background into the band and its members, and how Floor came to join the band. Kind Regards from the UK.

Greetings from Denmark in Europe 🇩🇰🇩🇰. Looking so much forward to your journey. Its always exciting to see new people discover Nightwish 🥰😍 Buckle up and get ready. This is one hell of a ride 💪🎸🎤🎺🎻🇫🇮❤️

Nightwish fan here from Canada.

I am almost 72 and i love NW so much,thank you for playing their music and i hope that you continu ,i will listen to you.there is so much to discover greetings from the netherlands

It is very nice to watch your reactions for Nightwish, please continue with such enthousiasme. Greetings from 7’hoven the Netherlands

I get goose-bumps from that ending. That is just INCREDIBLE.

You ain't heard nothin' yet. Floor: Dead Boys Poem from Buenos Aaires 2018. Marco: High Hopes from Hartwall Areena 2005. Together: Song of Myself from this Wacken show; Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Aires 2018. You're a long way away from my favourite song yet, but keep going and when you know the band well enough the NWA will ask for it Nightwish Army UK Eastern Division signing out for now.

Hi, I'm 51 spanish woman, listening metal music since 15, have a big hug

Welcome to the world of Nightwish. I'm 71, from Canada, and have been a fan of NW for 20 years. I'm glad you've found them too.

I'm from Finland, and hope for some more Nightwish, thank you.

The entire WACKEN 2013 performance by Nightwish is absolute perfection from the first song to the last!

Listen Romanticide Saludos de la Nigthwish Army desde Chile.

And that is what a Floorgasm looks like, Coach! The Valkyrie Goddess strikes again... I went from being a member of the United States Army to being a member of the Nightwish Army, and it warms my heart to see folks of all ages and backgrounds becoming fans of this awesome metal band and fans of Floor Jansen... Thank you for being open-minded and receptive to the best music in the planet!

I love, love, love seeing people getting instantly hooked to Nightwish. It makes my heart warm and I just want everyone to known how great and genius they are. Looking forward to more reactions to the vast variety of songs and performances they have!

Greetings from Germany. I was at this very festival in 2013 and it was magic. Love Mrs.Coach, a lady not easy to impress, but saw her smile and that says it all🥰

Floor's voice is a strange thing, for some it's love at first listen, and for some it's just a talented soprano with a variety of styles. I'm in the first classification. I listened to Nightwish in the turn of the millennium but as Tarja was booted out I just forgot about the band. Just three years ago I first listened to the Ghost Love Score with Floor and it took only a couple of minutes to just fall in love with her voice. And a secondary thing is her stage presence, she coud hype me up like a puppy just by her audience interaction.

😁 Greetings from Germany ! Ah, the Rabbithole is DEEP and WONDERFUL. Your favorite song by NIGHTWISH will always be the next song 🤣. You will both enjoy it. I am sure that the COACH will look awesome 👍Looking forward to your next reactions to NIGHTWISH. 🤗 alex p.s follow Gabriels list so you won't get lost on your path. 🖤

👍No surprise here,that people instantly fall in love with this band.😉 The Nightwish "army" fanbase consists of people from all walks of live and every age and from all over the world.🤘 Maby Nightwish is not your typical hardcore metal,but their mixup from metal with different styles of music is unique. By the way; There is a epic documentary ,"Please learn the setlist in 48 hours" about Floor falling in for their previous singer,a must see.😉

Nightwish Army member here from Leeuwarden in The Netherlans

Before she joined Nightwish she was recovering from a burnout. There some videos of her discussing her burnout. Floor was a vocal coach. In the song Shoemaker at the end is Floor being operactic. She does sing O Mio Bambino Caro and Stabat mater dolorosa

Hello, NW Army reporting from S. FL, U.S.A. 🫡 Yeah NW’s music is SO good and Floor’s vocals are SO POWERFUL!!! A person would have to be DEAD inside to NOT get a reaction from their music, trust me, I suffer from emotional detachment disorder (or emotional numbness) and the combination of the music composition, the lyrics AND the delivery by the Valkyrie Queen’s vocals makes me FEEL more than ANY other band I’ve EVER listened to (and ALL of Floor’s other bands and side projects and solo career too!!!) I think you both would enjoy “Ever Dream” and “Romanticide” next!

Greetings from Hightwish army from Serbia

Always a joy to see others experience "Floorgasms". Greetings from Florida.

Hello, this unit of NW army is reportin from Brno, Czech Republic! Thanks for your reactions... yes, as you say, there is "something" radiating from Floor Jansen, her whole persona is overwhelming... and if you watch the interviews of her, or things like Learn the setlist in 48Hr or Reconnections (Dutch TV about Floor meeting with her classmates from Rock academy) then you will see she is really kind person, even shy, nothing like the godess she is on stage...

Hello cuties. I am 42 years old. I've been a Nightwish fan for 20 years. The most loved and favorite group for me. I'm glad more people are discovering this amazing band and liking it. I would love to see more edits of their songs. I know that many people will recommend you some of the best songs of the band. I want to recommend you to react to Dimash Kudaibergen. This in a boy from Kazakhstan with an amazing voice. Perhaps one of the best shouters in the world today. I recommend his song SOS for your first reaction. I will be happy to see a reaction from you. Greetings and all the best

I think you will love the back story to the band as much as their music, enjoy your journey into the rabbithole❤

Nightwish Army, Carolina Division checking in.

Such a great rabbit hole 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 I'm an Australian living in Singapore. Have been a Nightwish fan since 2000 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

This is extremely colorful singing - there are sections where she is using a different voice / singing style for every word in a sentence! Switching this fast is really acrobatic. I like your reactions!

Hello from exotic Fayetteville, NC! Glad to see y'all have found Nightwish! They have an amazing catalogue of music with a great variety of sounds and stylistic influences. Floor most certainly has an amazing voice and presence, and I hope that you can get around to listening to more of her performances with Nightwish. The entire Wacken concert is fantastic and is a great entry into Nightwish in particular and the Prog Rock/Symphonic Metal genre in general. I would recommend Romanticide, Song of Myself and Everdream to be among your next forays into their music, all amazing songs.

I am Nightwish army in New Mexico.

Welcome to the world of Nighthwish, warm welcome from Finland!!

saying hello and enjoy this rabbit hole, Nightwish Army Switzerland

At each Nightwish song Floor will use a voice you've never heard before, even after 50 songs, because she is self-professed nerd concerning all things voice related and that makes her very interesting.

Watching from Australia ❤

I saw Nightwish in 2012 on a double headlining show with the great Kamelot. The singer for Nightwish that night was Anette Olzen, and they opened with "Storytime." A lot of people don't like Anette because her vocal style is so than that of Tarja and Floor ("Floor" translates to "flower" in Dutch), but I like her and she was great that night. A week later, however, it was announced that Anette and Nightwish had parted ways.

I think Mrs. Coach might also enjoy Floor's solo work, completely different side of her! Check out her song Daydream or Invincible on her KZfaq channel.

Gidday from New Zealand...love your reactions to Nightwish ...our Valkyrie Goddess has you under her spell

I am watching from Goettingen, Germany. Great reaction, the music of Nightwish and Floor's voice always touch me deeply.

Welcome to the nightwish army from Illinois!!!

Watching from Sweden 🤘 Where Floor lives with her family 😊

Nightwish Army, Oklahoma Division checking in.

Great Reaction, I'm watching from Helsinki Finland and being the same nationality as the most of the band members and they founded the band in Finland, so been a fan of Nightwish since the very beginning of their Live shows or Recordings. Seen all singers and they are all great, but like you said Floor's voice and techniques just mesmerises me every time!

Watching from Denmark and ❤ Nightwish 😍

Watching from the land of Floor..the Netherlands 🤘❤️

Hello again from the Nightwish army New York 🤗 Your GLS reaction is currently at 36k

I'm hapyy to see you back with another Nightwish reaction. I have subscribed for that. Nicely done this time also.

Love your reaction Nightwish is the best there is! Floor Jansen is tje best voice alive....NWA Netherlands

There so much more to explore about Nightwish. I Wish you two many Floorgasms, und a good expirience!

From Denmark and sadly only discover Nightwish 4 years ago, now i love to see other discover Them to :).

They are magic! One reactor could not remember the name of the bassist, Marko, and kept calling him Gandalf for several reactions! Finland has a lot of unique mythology and Tuomas uses his knowledge of it for the visuals and the lyrics as well as Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland and Mary Poppins (the chimney reference in this song). Nightwish Army, Blue Mountains Corps, Australia.

Cheers for Southern California. Glad to see you back with more Nightwish so quickly. Looking forward to following your experience with this incredible band.

Greetings from Finland; I am a Nightdreamer

Mrs. Coach is so cute ... love her giggle at hearing about Floorgasms

Your journey will be long and wonderful. Very very old metal rock head and a fan of Nightwish for over 25 years. In my humble opinion they have no bad songs and my mantra for listening to this band is, “ MY FAVORITE NIGHTWISH SONG IS THE LAST ONE IVE LISTENED TO!”coming from a horse farm in New Jersey U. S. A.! Rock On Stay Safe and God Bless! 🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

I've said it in other reaction channels: each one of these guys is a world class musician and vocalist that, in their own right, could front or hold a band by themselves not to mention they are all part of the same band. However, they check their ego at the door and serve only the music and what it needs. That's what setts them apart and that's why I've been a fan since their start in the late 90's (and Marko before that in his Tarrot days with his brother).

NW Army French division here, watching you next to Lyon :) I had the privilege to discover Nightwish in 2001, growing in my teenager’s years with this band and never missing an occasion to share their beautiful work with people around me. Still a huge pleasure to witness the discovery in new eyes !

Hi Mr. and Mrs. Coach. By spreading the word, Nightwish, you officially are members of the Nightwish Army. Congratulations. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 🤘🫡

Floor has such a powerful voice and she controls it well. Floor is a really nice person and she does post personal things in Floorworld. Floorworld is for us fans to watch Floor and talk to her and other fans. She also has 2 things on her KZfaq Channel and they are Story Time and Floor Finds and some Fan Friday's. Story Time is about her and Floor Finds she talks to a other person on one subject. Fan Friday's was during covid us fans texted her questions and she answered them. Her stage presence is awesome

Nightwish Army Sweden eastern division salutes you. Welcome.

Nightwish fan from Northwest Wisconsin here.

Emma , Las Vegas Chapter of the Nightwish Army 😘; checking in. I'm from Sweden, (neighbor of Finland, Nightwish's "homeland"); and I've been following this band since "the beginning", and I think FLOOR has the most "versatile" voice of the bands 3 female singers. Nightwish was the "first band" to successfully combine "Opera/Classical voices, to Rock/Metal". They've inspired NUMEROUS other bands to do the same...and WE LOVE IT! ❤ Btw...Their "main composer" is Tuomas, who plays the keyboard. He composes EVERY INSTRUMENT's notes, with some help and suggestions by London Symphony Orchestra and different "singers singing together"...(sorry, I cannot spell that word in english...lol). This song is from IMAGINAREUM, an Album as well as a movie. You should watch it...., but bring tissues. 😋 Now onward to Everdream. Sergeant Emma from Nightwish Army; signing off... for now 😘
