Thank you for deciding to continue exploring Nightwish music! Nice analysis, I'm sure many of the fans appreciate it! This concert is highly appreciated by the fans because it meets superlatives in all chapters: musical composition, interpretation of all band members, active participation of the audience, as well as a high quality recording and mixing. I await with great interest your next steps in this journey of discovery, because I am convinced that by the end of it, we will win a new fan :)

I would like to take this moment to thank you "General" Gabriel Bardac, for your tireless promotion of my favorite band. It was through a reaction video of Ghost Love Score by The Charismatic Voice that my journey with NW began. After watching her reaction, I decided that I must have been living under a rock for far too long musically. Without countless reactions to Nightwish, I am not sure that the world could have discovered this incredible... well.. calling them a mere "band" is a woeful understatement! They are an experience, to say the least. Through these reaction videos, we fans get to re-experience our first time hearing the NW song being reacted to. God Bless those who react to Nightwish because, in so doing, they promote what is great about music, and God Bless you, sir, for promoting the reactors and giving them direction to their magical journey. NW Army member, Outpost Eatonville Wa.

@@christopherchick6419 Thank you very much for your kind message. My journey started 8-9 years ago. I was in a very bad state then, on the verge of depression, due to a long chain of negative events in my personal life and Nightwish music plus the reactions suddenly became very important, because they gave me that optimistic energy that gradually helped me find my inner balance. Back then, the late Ann Waychoff, with her gentle and understanding approach, welcomed the new reactors, giving all of us gathered around her a sense of community. I understood later that her wisdom was the result of a full life and her professional experience in social services, but also of suffering from severe chronic diseases, which made her dependent on oxygen. I took over her role when she was hospitalized, because I realized that what Ann was doing was necessary, and that without leadership based on her model, everything that had been built until then was going to collapse. Fortunately, it is something I can still do easily, because I have internet both at home and at work, where I benefit from the understanding of my colleagues, mostly younger. From the perspective of time, I realize that there was also a selfish component in what I did, to save the source of my emotional support, which I was then dependent on to a much greater extent than now, when many of my emotional wounds have closed. And this is how this wave appeared and developed, started by the fans and fully supported by the fans, of supporting the reactors who listen to Nightwish music, contributing to the popularization of this unique band. I am convinced that many of the fans arrived here because they needed the emotional support of their music, like Ann and me. I think it's a symptom of the modern world we live in, that we need this kind of emotional support, which is missing in our everyday life.

Nightwish is a journey, buckle up and enjoy!

Reactors such as yourself are a valuable resource for people like me. I love this music, but I don't always know why it affects me as it does. Reactors such as RVA, The Charismatic Voice, Chase Carneson, Julia Nilon, and now you, dig down into the internals of the machine and reveal details of how and why it works. Looking for reactors like you is why I am here. Although seeing new people discover this music, and vicariously reliving my initial joy, is also reason enough to watch reactions. Watching reactors shed tears, while listening to Tuomas's music played by Nightwish and sung by Floor, for reasons they cannot articulate, makes my eyes leak too.

I strongly concur with everything you've said. I'm fascinated by the in depth analysis and music theory, and it's so much more fun when you come across someone who is new to the band that you can live vicariously through while also learning something new yourself. As an aside, you would likely really enjoy JW Soundwork's analysis to this song if you haven't seen it yet.

Subscriber and member of the NW Army here. Please next do the most reacted to song on KZread: Ghost Love Score by Nightwish @ Wacken 2013, (same concert). This is their 13th song on the setlist. Worthy of note: the syncopated beats, Floor's incredible breath control and THAT last note as sung by Floor. In the words of your fellow music reactor, The Charasmatic Voice, (an opera singer), ..."Can't stop..it's too good!" This was her first listen to Nightwish.

As a music theory dropout (I did much better in engineering and medicine/dentistry), I wish he would delve a bit deeper. It would be great to note all the interval changes (and the musical context leading up to them) that strike THAT chord in the listener. Nightwish contains so many such moments. Tuomas must have been a very good student, with a flair for triggering emotional dramatic moments (or reflections) in us all.

I'm an old bass player with some musical knowledge but I sometimes find it hard how to explain to someone why a song is so wonderful.

Thank you sir hairless! I think you'd love "shoemaker"

I think it was originally supposed to be Imaginarium, but that name had been used somewhere else already, so they changed it to avoid any legal trouble. So basically you can think of imaginarium and imaginaerum as the same thing.

Yup, the lyrics were already written and recorded when they ran into a blocking of the name Imaginarium. It seems Marko (bass guitar) came with the idea of just changing some letters in the name and problem solved. Very sharp remark by our Sir Hairless! BTW Marko was not just bass guitar player and vocalist: he did also the sound mixing as he wanted to emphasis Floor's (10 month with the band) remarkable vocals and technique. He also has an amazing versatile voice, watch him in his younger days singing acoustically a Tarot song (his band) with his brother Zachary: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hJp5mZRrh8vQZdY.htmlsi=5Fg1KK1oSjAaY_9R

They use orchestral backing track so it's a bit hard to know what Tuomas play and what is on backing track. Song is from Imaginaerum album wich is connected to movie Imaginearum by Nightwish. Backing track is done with The orchestra, The London Philharmonic Orchestra, called "The Looking Glass Orchestra", was led by Thomas Bowes and conducted by James Shearman.The orchestra and choir was arranged, orchestrated and directed by Pip Williams.

Gosh, I love your reactions. This is just the tip of the iceberg called Nightwish😉 They also have slower and more folky songs with Uillean pipes and flutes (I want my tears back in Buenos Aires per example, awesome happy song) and of course the absolute MASTERPIECES "the Poet and the pendulum" (very intense personal story of Toumas about depression and S***ide) and the "greatest show on Earth" (not referring to them haha, but to the evolution of our planet, creatures and....music. I am a life long metalhead and there are so many negative feelings and thoughts about us and the music. I never ever saw a fight or misery, just people enjoying the music and the be one with the band and crowd. I take my 3 pre-teen daughters with me and they are having a great time. Also to Nightwish concerts. Thank you sir! Salute from Holland

This is the level of analysis I wish every KZread reactor had! I'm looking forward for the next video already.

Awesome reaction. You are one of the few reactors that give such a lengthy analysis but still make it interesting. I’m so pleased you carried on with Nightwish, liked and subbed for that. Looking forward to your unique insight into the next Nightwish song.

Ever Dream and Storytime are considered "mainstream" Nightwish songs, few that could see radio time. For someone like you, Ghost Love Score should be a 7star meal in a fancy restaurant.

wow. I love such tips, breaking down the song into its first parts and explaining the technicalities. Much respect sir!! We are waiting for more Nightwish songs. Thank you and best regards.

This song is part of the soundtrack for the movie 'Imaginaerum' written by Tuomas and cast with the band members. It is, taken at face value, a horror movie. You can feel those vibes in this song. As this is the Imaginaerum tour, a lot of the songs are from the movie.

Nightwish Army North Texas division reporting for duty. Welcome to a wonderful musical journey. Enjoy the ride!

So glad you've continued on the Nightwish journey! You might think you know what to expect, but there's lots of things waiting that you can't predict. Instruments, types of music, vocals, and so on. Nightwish has produced a rich variety of all of them, and you'll be introduced to them in good time. Storytime is one of my all time favorites, and this performance especially. But it's a short, small, poppy metal song. It's not a typical format for Tuomas. Ghost Love Score is usually the best introduction to Nightwish, but it doesn't really feature anything you haven't heard already (except two things, theatrics and one of many aspect of Floors vocals you've not witnessed yet). Other songs do. Just wait and see.

Awesome once again my friend..... so glad your continuing with Nightwish, Floor, and this 2013 show. It was magical...... Floor was not yet even invited to be a full time member. She had been called in 2012 literally almost overnight, to fill in for the singer that left Nightwish mid tour. Floor learned their entire set list in 48 hours and flew from Europe to Seattle to go on stage with them. Her performance here at Wacken 2013 solidified her place in the band forever. She blew everyone away with her performance this night...... Any fans that doubted, quickly had their fears erased. I think you're starting to see Tuomas's brilliance as a composer, he writes everything, music and lyrics, and most of the stage production. Please watch their entire set, it's truly all different, nothing ever sounding like you heard it before. His imagination is endless. Then your on to Poet and the Pendulum at Wembley....... Stunning.... and so much more.

Greetings from Finland! Ive been a fan of Nightwish since '97 and one of my lazy day hobbies is to watch Nightwish reactions. Ive seen quite many but yours are best by far. I love how you are able to spot the cool musical twists and share them with us. Thank you so much!

Another great reaction where I was able to learn more about a song and a band that I love. I think you will very much enjoy doing a deep dive into Ghost Love Score and I am hoping to hear you do an analysis of two of my favorites, Song of Myself and Seven Days to the Wolves.

Storytime is part of the concept album / film music Imaginaerum. It introduces the main character. The opening chord is the transition between the opening song and Storytime. The opening song: Nightwish - Taikatalvi (With Lyrics) The string chord at the beginning is a music box that is on the main character's piano. Glockenspiel is therefore a pretty accurate description. You will meet it again in Song of Myself. Dark Karneval is not a bad description. It is a fair. It represents the life's work of the main character, who is a composer. But he suffers from dementia and is dying. With him, the fair also falls apart and it is a ruin.

Fantastic reaction. Thank you.👍👍👍

Yes! Haven't even watched this video yet and I know I'm going to love it!!

Wow. Your ear and analysis is simply amazing. You put a lot of effort into these. Thank you! This was pure joy to watch. Thank you for covering my favourite bands of all time, and I hope you keep getting Floor'd!

The most metal song Nightwish has done is Romanticide (same Wacken concert.). It is complex, ever changing, powerful, and has vocal elements you probably have never heard done live. I also suggest their newest song, Perfume of the Timeless, from the album coming out in September. Watch the first episode of the PotT documentary, episode 1 (less than three minutes) to hear Tuomas explain what he is doing and why his music is what it is. It will be difficult for you to find a Nightwish song you won't like, or one not worthy of your analysis. They are simply different in structure, sound, and lyrical content from other bands.

Excellent again ! I applaud !! 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 wanted to become a marine biologist; keep all this in mind for later, it will help. 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. I am: the voice of Never-Never land, the empty crib, the journey, the destination, the home, Tuomas says, he's taking you back to his childhood fascinations. 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. Good stuff, you keep at it, Nightwish will not disappoint.

It is unsettling and eerie, and I love it! I hope you do more of Nightwish, because this is really, really interesting. I'm not "into" music, and Nightwish is one of the few bands that captivates me. I learn so much when you pick it apart this way, and explain the things I love about their songs.

I loved your reaction/analysis. This was the first song I ever heard from Nightwish, and I have been hooked ever since.

Two thirds of the way through you asked about there being a connection between Everdream and Storytime. These were played back to back at Wacken 2013 so yes...

We know we like it... You make the technical reasons for why we like it very easy to understand. Well done and please continue...

Fantastic take! ❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank for coming back to Nightwish, and for your detailed analysis (though I guess you're not so much a drum person, I think Jukka's part in the middle is worthy of more note, but that's opinion not complaint). All the Wacken songs were written for previous singers, but Floor has a knack for boosting up the endings - you'll see this again in _Ghost_ _Love_ _Score._ After GLS I would normally recommend _Romanticide,_ which has a lot to discuss for anybody knowledgeable in music creation or performance; but it is one of their heaviest, so you may not feel ready yet. Instead, I'd say maybe _Song_ _of_ _Myself_ (Wacken again). It's in four movements, and the last ("Love") wasn't performed live, because it's a poem read by the family and friends of Nightwish with orchestral backing; for someone like you I recommend the Ann Waychoff edition put together by General Gabriel, which attaches the album version of this movement to the end of the Wacken footage. Enjoy!

Dude, you did it again for me 😁😎way cool reaction video, thank you 🙏🏼

Well, with all due respect, I'm in love with your analysis! So complet! Great points indeed. Can't wait for Ghost Love Score. Cheers!!

Sir, I'm a noob in music theory and I find your explanations perfectly comprehensible and very helpful. Thank you so much.

"Ghost Love Score" same show same time

Its so nice to see someone properly react to nightwish, most just say "nice" and continue listening

Finally someone mentioned the passing chord in the second part of the chorus! What's even cooler is that the bass plays a G as you said but the guitar plays a G-Eb powerchord, and the backing chorus is playing harmonies that have Eb and Bb. So it's really an Eb/G chord which is a V-I into the Ab but with the tension of the low G into the Ab. Classic metal move.

I am glad you are continuing your Nightwish journey. Floor's vocal acrobatics are a treat to listen to. Your analysis is delightful and enlightening. For a real challenge try the acoustic version of How's the Heart from Planet Rock back to back with Shoemaker.

YES! More Nightwish. I told you you'd like it.

If you like it, then you may be willing to take a peek into Auri, Tuomas' second band, which is prog folk oriented. Hope I didn't bother you...😅 Greetings! 👋🇮🇹🖖

I feel that the "unsettling" parts are in the same vein as in some horror films such as _"Halloween",_ and also the early part of Mike Oldfield's _"Tubular Bells"_ which was used in _"The Exorcist"._ When combined with the lighter chorus, I feel that the song does a good job of capturing the duality of light and darkness often found in classic fairy tales.

The album (and the film they made to go with it) was supposed to be titled “Imaginaerium” but they dropped the second “i” I believe to avoid confusion with the Terry Gilliam film “The Imaginaerium of Doctor Parnassus” that released between the recording of the album and completion of the film.

Yay! More Nightwish please! I could see emotions flitting across your face. We understand. I really think you are going to enjoy the albums produced after this concert. You have some amazing journeys for Nightwish to take you on. ❤️ Nightwish Army, BC, Canada checking in. p.s. they just released a new single from their upcoming album in september. You should check out "Perfume of the Timeless."

Thanks for the musical explanations! There is something unsettling, but interesting. The ups and downs, "Circle of Fifths". Your second? Oh boy, you have a lot of treats in store!

"Imaginaerum vs Imaginarium" - The original name of the album WAS Imaginarium up until just a few months before official release. At that time they made an official announcement that the name was being changed to Imaginaerum "to avoid any potential future confusion with other artistic works of the same name." There was another movie, released around the same time using Imaginarium in the title, and so no doubt Nightwish's legal counsel was behind encouraging them to change the name so there would be no worries about copyright claims. And, yes, the whole album and movie are based around a spooky, creepy amusement park theme playing out inside the mind of a dying musician experiencing his life and childhood "flash before his eyes" cast in this carnivalesque allegory. Great reactions, by the way. I like your method of explanation of musical details that I would not otherwise know but find very interesting!

Can't wait to see when you get to some of their longer song and create like an hour video ❤❤

I love what you do, so much more to learn from you, so much more explained why it sounds so good or why Tuomas has chosen something to accent or to get certain mood out of the composition.. Cannot wait to watch your next Nightwish Reaction!

"Teamwork makes the dream work." Very nice! Love your reaction, how your knowledge makes me love Nightwish even more. Thank you ❤

thank you for this great reaction. i am pretty sure you will like their song called the greatest show on earth. but prepare for a looong song.

Loved the analysis, thanks. Would also love a reaction to The Poet and The Pendulum.

I concur.

Thank you for this great, deep reaction. What a pleasant contrast to all the superficial stuff. If I'm right, there will be more reactions from you to my favorite band? That would be fantastic! Because you discover outstanding musical treats and the Nightwish army really appreciates good reactions. 🤗
