Nightwish is a great rabbit hole to go down. Glad to see you're doing it. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

There's nothing Nightwish fans like more (aside from the band itself) than watching new people discover Nightwish

I'm glad you continue to react to Nightwish's music! You noticed that this song is not like the first one. You will see in time that each of their songs is unique, has its own personality, being at the same time easily recognizable as Nightwish's. You have a real feast ahead of you...

Tuomas Holopainen the keyboardist is the maestro behind all this epicness and a really cool thing about this journey is that the each song is different from the other but always remaining Nightwish. Floor is a GOAT .....vocals and stage presence for days .

Loved your reaction. Loved the joy you took in listening to Nightwish. Loved that you immediately recognized that this entire band is made up of talented, creative professionals who are a team and who play for the song. I'm looking forward to your further journeys into the magic that is Nightwish.

Brother, welcome to the fun of Nightwish. Get ready for a never ending smile on your face. These are some of the very best musicians I've ever seen. Enjoy the ride.

Tuomas (the keyboard player) is the mastermind behind about 95% of their music. Gabriel's list is always a great way to go into the rabit hole of Nightwish. I myself am a fairly new member of the Nightwish army. 1.5 years ago I didn't know they existed. Now I've got every album but one on vinyl and listen to them regularly, and I'm not really a metal or rock fan on the daily. Every new song you'll experience will show them doing something new or there'll be something that will surprise you.

Last year at 56 years of age I thought I'd heard all the good music from all genres that there was to hear, then Nightwish and Floor came along and my whole musical world was turned upside down and inside out and has been ever since. Epicness right there on that stage DonVon. Storytime has all the trademark Nightwish transitions and multi layering. They are the Gold Standard. Phenomenal band with all members masters of their craft fronted by the best vocalist that I have ever had the pleasure and privilege to see and hear. Thank you. 🙏😊👍❤️

Nightwish is pure magic! Floor is a goddess!🤘🎸

Great reaction! 😊 Your going to enjoy so much about Nightwish. Every song has so many multiple layers. Tuomas designs them all - the lyrics, each instrument, vocals,(with the Input of the finer details from each band member too) background screens & lighting at live shows and videos. The artist paints the vision and you can interpret your own meaning from each song. Tuomas is the musical maestro!

Dude, you have a seriously crazy ahead of you with this amazing band - sub'd in the hope that you take the Nightwish journey 🤘

Great reaction! Yep, Floor and this band is a unicorn. Every song is different. Although Dark Chest of Wonders gives me the same vibes as Storytime. Good news...you haven't seen but a glimpse of Floor's talent. I have to listen to her every day. 😊

Greetings from Finland🇫🇮, I love this band🥰!!

👍Hey DonVon ,great reaction, this band is a proud bunch of musicians for giving people so much joy and it's truth for their whole repertoire. You can't go wrong folowing Nightwish or Floor's solo stuff.This is mastery musicians at work and also enjoy themselves at what they do,but Don...,WATCH OUT,before you know it,you'r HOOKED.😆🤘

The Joy you expirience when listening and watching that bSong is the Core of what mostt of us love to see. Someone beeing simply carried away by the Band we Fanboy so hard:) You cant get an Text wrong of Nightwish. They want you start using your Fantasy, and interprete it your way. There are Songs, that have totally different Meaning for me, as for my Wife f.E. None the less we both really enjoy listening to it. Like Gabrielk already mentioned, the List is just that, an Catalouge whats there with some Hints how old or who were in the Lineup(26* Years of Bandhistory) . Just Pick at will, we will be here to see how you likte it:) Stay Healthy NWA Bavaria North, Germany

I saw them in 2015 absolutely amazing live

By the way her dutch name Floor means Flower and has roots in angient Roman goddes Flora.

Dude, you have listened to awesome Nightwish songs but you haven't heard a thing yet! Go on and enjoy!

Love the reaction... enjoy the rabbithole. I would love to watch you getting them to know. They are the best.

Great reaction. Love your realtime understanding of where the music is going. I gotta watch the rest of this rabbithole trip. Glad to have you on board. - Blind Doc Jones - Nightwish Medical Tent and Moshpit Search and Rescue.

Hi, very fine reaction, thank you

"The core of all life is a limitless chest of tales" was the bar you missed that kind of explained the song. Did we create the stories, or do the stories create us? What would you be without the stories in your memory? Your life's tale? To what degree do the stories create us as much as we create them? And as for the band....yeah. And what can you say about Floor? Language staggers.

This song is from Imaginaerum album and the album lyrics has strong connections to the Movie Imaginaerum by Nightwish

The guy behind all this songs and stuff stands behind the keyboards. He is the mastermind of all and his name is Tuomas Holopainen. Remember it!

I love this song and it's message so much. Every time I listen to it I'm reminded of one of my favourite passages from Terry Pratchett's Hogfather, featuring a discussion between Death and his granddaughter Susan. "All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable." REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE. "Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little-" YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES. "So we can believe the big ones?" YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING. "They're not the same at all!" YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET-Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED. "Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point-" MY POINT EXACTLY."

I still say go to Shoemaker from Hellfest 2022!! I had chills for real!!!

Heya from Germany 🇩🇪 big Nightwish and Dimash fan here. Also loving metal - so I want you to react to Rammstein live in Paris the performance of the song DU HAST. Thousands of french people singing in German - that's the one thing - the other thing is the unbelievable fireworks show Rammstein put out. The singer is a certified pyrotechnician - so enjoy the show. All the best from Germany ☀️ Petra

Emppu Vuorinen is a phenomenal guitarist and is a consummate musician whose playing always serves the song - and when the song calls for it, he can lay down blistering solos. I don't know what he thinks about being called a hobbit, but as a Finland National Judeo Champion I suspect he could throw you across the stage if he didn't like it, lol!

😂 Nightwish don’t do Rock Bridges, they do bridges of Metal and Stone! 😂🤘🤘🤘

Hope and childhood innocence and possibilities .... Endless possibilities using a pure innocent imagination of a child :)!

Good one. Ever Dream, Song Of Myself, Romanticide, Ghost River etc.

Greetings from Nightwish Army, Palm Springs, CA! If you're gonna take the journey, friend....you're gonna see many performances from this concert. Wacken 2013...is pronounced VAW-KEHN... its a town and a huge metal festival in Germany.

Floor is the GOAT. An hour on her channel should convince you of that. I’ve never heard anything like her.

Greetings, and welcome to Nightwish and symphonic metal. There will be requests, but stick with Gabriel's list for the best experience. NOTE: There is 1 song in particular you will need to research because of events that occurred back in 2005. This will be mentioned by many fans as it became the foundation for Tuomas and the band that is Nightwish. The song is "The Poet and the Pendulum". You will be asked to react to it. I recommend you get some more videos under your belt first, get to know yhe band. Then do your research before reacting to it. That's all for now. You're going to love your journey. The rabbit hole goes deep, so buckle up and enjoy the ride. Thank you for the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed. 😊❤️🤘🤘

I love your reaction. If I may suggest next Nightwish song……ALL of them from Wacken 2013. There’s no bad song in this playlist and any next one is better than the previous one

One of my favorite bands! Welcome to symphonic metal!

My friend, I discovered you at the same time I discovered Ren. and your reactions to him. I'm absolutely delighted you found Nightwish, the other great musical discovery of the 20' teens. Both Nightwish and Ren are breaking new musical ground. You are fortunate to be able to go down two rabbit holes at the same time. Your life will never be the same. New subscriber to you!

good reaction, thanks from Colorado

Nightwish army Carolina division checking in... General Gabriel has the list...

Nice reaction, Greetings from Mexico City 🇲🇽

The songwriter: Toumas. The one at he keyboard. Think he has wrote everyting...from the birth of the band 😍😍

It's about all the facets of storytelling, everything, the wonder, the magic

Love your windmill! Keep on going down that rabbit hole, you won’t be sorry!

Amazing ❤Nightwish ❤Thank you ❤

Hope yes. But also the yearning for childhood innocence.

Nightwish Army south Brittany France reporting. I'm always jealous of people discovering Nightwish for the first time.

I think the song is about stories (duh), both the ones from your imagination and the ones from others, that shape your life in a very real way. We are all about stories if you think about it - "the core of life is just an unlimited chest of tales". Next one? "Standard" is either Ever Dream (soft/heavy) or Romanticide (more heavy) I think. Both introduce Marko as additional singer - just a glimpse of what he can really do.

Welcome to the Nightwish army (Dutch division)! Wishing you a great journey down the rabbit hole from Nightwish! When you're ready for it see...yours is an empty hope and the poet and the pendulum (but first read the background information and see the Wembley version).

Gabriel list for sure.

CONGRATULATIONS TO FLOOR AND HANNES FOR WELCOMING THEIR NEWEST EDITION TO THEIR LITTLE FAMILY. WELCOME TO THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD LUCY!

Always great. Every song is different and always a fun experience. Nightwish Army BC Canada

Great reaction! But only very few reactors notice the "Time Traveler"... ☹️

🤗🍒🤘🏻 well done again, but Floor's hair swing!? We call that the Dutch windmill !! 🙃

Peter Pan ran away so he never had to grow up! Just like Tuomas wants/wanted to do - he's the keyboard player and the "Metal Mozart" behind 90% of their material!

Love from Romania brother ! All the best !!! :)

Storytime belongs to the album / film music Imaginaerum. The song describes the main character. It was written for the second singer, Anette, who is a pop/jazz singer. She didn't sing the opera part either, unlike Floor. The film premiered during this tour. Shortly beforehand, Anette is fired and Floor sits in the front row as a temp. There is no studio version with a floor of any of the songs in the concert. Her first studio album was not released until 2015. Ghost Love Score was written for the first singer Tarja, who was an opera singer. That's why it sounds more like film music.

ok mate you got a sub from me..lets just say you are one of few reaction channels that i actually enjoy..nice energy..if you wanna continue with nightwish my guess for next track is poet and pendulum live..also .one from first singer days..Creek Mary's Blood live..amazing song..anyway keep up with same energy :)

It's a really good track!

This is our Valkyrie Goddess for you. And you witnessed first hand a "Dutch Windmill" , and to finish you off, The Operatic "Cruise Missile" !!!! LEARNING TIME: Floor has 3 distinct styles. Head banging(straight forward, then back), hair whip(almost like cracking a bullwhip) and the Windmill(continuous 360 degree revolutions). Why Windmill? Well she is Dutch. Awesome tune , although it is kind of a pop/Rockish sound (originally sung by Anette, the second singer of Nightwish), but Floor gave it soooo much POWER !!! Including this "Operatic" part, what was originally done by children's choir because vocal limitations on their second singer (Great singer also, I might add), but Floor has none of that "Limit". Nightwish lyrics are often a bit interpretive, and not as "straightforward" as many other bands, because Tuomas ( The Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen: founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish.) prefers people to put their own interpretations and life experiences into the lyrics. you connect with songs on a personal level when there is something there that relates to things you have gone/are going through, and you may even find new connections later on in life when you have gone through other big events/emotions. there might be songs you are quite indifferent about (oh, nice song) and then you go through something big and all of a sudden it makes you break down in tears because now you relate to something in the lyrics you didn't before, and see it from a whole new perspective. imagination and life experiences are powerful, and Tuomas has great appreciation of this. NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.

Try Nightwish Scaretale with Annette Olzen live show and then live with Floor Jansen in Helsinki Festival in 2012, request thanks 😊

Reacts to joelma Singing "Pra te esquecer" live in the Amazônia in 2004 when she was a member of the band "Calypso" and she reacts singing "pra te esquecer" live in the Amazonia in 2022. Make a comparison and give your opinion. She is 49 years old and is considered the greatest performer in Brazil and sings without using playback, she caught covid 19 four times and almost died, her face was very swollen in 2022 because her blood was clotting. From Brazil!

Tuomas the keyboard player writes 90% Of there songs he's an Empath and a poet and very talented. This song is about Imagination and creativity.

Nice! First time here and you're my new favorite channel. Love how you just say what you're feeling and thinking without "trying" to be a Content Creator...does that make sense? So for this one, you'll have to go back to Barrie's creation of the Peter Pan character - which in general will help you, a lot, to understand much of Tuomas's perspective, and some of the how and why his composition and arrangement are what they are. (that's all just code for Greatness!) Keep it up, Bro! Cheers rl 🤘👹🤘

You are hearing a real orchestra, and real choir...which were recorded and played back thru the Korg. Symphonic metal.

Tumas on keyboard is mastermind being all

Wacken 2013 = 82000 people, where there goosebumps got goosebumps...

One of the best things to hear/ see that someone does not know NW, is to watch how they fall in the rabbit hole. I have listened NW since the beginning. And for me, Dutch valkurie Floor has given so much for the mix, coz she is not only one style singer. And Troy with his crazy pipes, love it. Greetings from Finland.

The theme of the song is imagination.

Tomos is the keyboard player and writier of the music.

Armée NIGHTWISH de France, excellente réaction bravo et merci pour un de mes groupes préférés. Si vous voulez entendre quelque chose qui va vous clouer, écoutez la reprise/hommage à PINK FLOYD par Marko le bassiste du groupe de la chanson High Hopes pendant le changement de costume de la chanteuse du groupe. Une chanson qui va vous ravir et vous éblouir de par son incroyable force et qui me laisse sans voix même après des centaines d'écoutes, les larmes aux bords des yeux. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oL6EoMtpy6nDgoU.html , essayez et je reviendrai vers vous ensuite, j'ai hâte de voir votre réaction, vous ne serez pas déçu, croyez moi. A bientôt et portez vous bien en paix.......

She's like a Valkyrie or Siren.

Hey, DonVon_ ! Yeah, this song was a lot different than the last one, but Nightwish can go even harder. As next step I would recommend Romanticide. That one might short out your headphones :D

Nice

Then they had Valkery Floor Hobbit Empu on Guitar Vicking Marko on Bass and the pirates Captain Tuomas on Keyboards and Yukka on Drums!!!

I'm curious as to what your reaction will be from some of the songs with the previous singers that they have had. I'd recommend maybe 10th Man Down to get a taste of Tarja and Bye Bye Beautiful (I'd wager it's still probably their most viewed music video) to get a taste of Anette.

if floor was a american singer than say most of the americans floor is the best female singer in the world for me she,s much better than the fake singers in the usa

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee go ahead dio the best singer in the metal

😁👍

Tuomas has stated many times that if anytime the band is in for the money not the art he will disband the band. He doesnt care about the money he makes. He is grateful for us fans but tbey make sure its not about the money. Ticket prices are ALWAYS reasonable. I almost when to see them in denver and i think floor tickets right at the stage was 150. Then they had vip tickets for not much more.

Also watch this one... Nightwish - Shoemaker (live at Hellfest 2023) Goosebumps at the end! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7B1f72gnqeqlI0.htmlsi=Keuv7_6UeJAEg14W

You liked this, sound out Andra Ariadna’s cover. Andra is the fourth singer Nightwish never had.

I'm sure phantom of the Opera is on Gabriels list, but I'd also suggest you listen to both the tarja one and the fan made one with floor. I say the fan made over the one with henk because Marco is a better phantom, even though henk did play him.

Lyrics and compose keyboard mannen Tuomas Holopainen… Some songs lyrics and compose bass man Marco Hietala…

🤘🇫🇮

Plaee react to the greatest show on earth. And the poet and the pendulum. But you must know the history of the poet and the pendulum first.

Great reaction for my favorite singer and band. I think you're looking for something heavier, so I suggest 'Romanticide' from the same concert. 😊🤘 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oayWa8ajnqfLg6c.htmlsi=4LFifXZJa9oK4MJ4

You really have no idea of what you stepped into, the Nightwish rabbit hole will eat you alive...😀

Nighwish Army USA (Pa) division checking in and saying great reaction. from gabriel's list I suggest for your next Floorgasm there song " bless the child" from the same show Wacken 2013 in front of 82K - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jLqAi9l2m9WXfI0.html&pp=ygUPYmxlc3MgdGhlIGNoaWxk

Man, it would be great if you listened and actually comprehended what the lyrics are... Edit: I had to listen to the almost end to see that you somewhat got the point, or at least the obvious part of it

u dont know jansen floor, u dont have rob halford, elvis , sinatra, vocal coach? sorry about the trash talk kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
