Lyrics: High Hopes
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut
There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before times took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
When friends surrounded
The nights of wonder
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some in a tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river
Forever and ever

This version is the most epic Pink Floyd cover i've ever seen. Pure magic.

The simple fact that not many people even try to make covers of PF songs because of their epic and unique sound. To have the balls to try and then do such a great job speaks volumes to their skills as musicians but also the respect they showed the original.
They did make it their own. It is amazing what they did to this song. That is what a cover song should be. It not only showcased Marko's vocals, it showcased Emppu as a tremendous guitarist. One of my all time favorite song....... :-)

Thank' Guy's. One of the best covers, ever made. Totally own, but a Tribute to Pink Floyd. Marko so totally Nailing this!
"If anybody had any doubts on Marco's vocal abilities this song shall dissipate, shall incinerate all doubts." This is exactly what I thought when I heard this piece for the first time years ago, when Marco just had begun at Nightwish and I didn't exactly know what to think of this "newcomer". As an alltime fan of Pink Floyd AND Nightwish this cover is like the fullfillment of my wildest dreams. When I saw it the first time, I had to cry :-)
Emppu's solos are the epitome of "Less is more". 🎸

What a voice Marko ? That is a honorable tribute to a beloved band! Nightwist took the song to upper levels !
Marko in it's all glory, but Emppu is the hero. Isn't it time for Wacken show...!

One could think that a Pink Floyd masterpiece isn't something you can make better sounding but Marco pulled the carpet from under our feet with this one back in the day. It's f**king hard song to sing.
A perfect cover. They kept all the important vibes and feel of the original and still put their unique stamp on it. I loved it and I am a long time Pink Floyd fan (since 1972 and have seen them live starting with the original line up several times). Marco captured Gilmour's vocals but added so much more dynamically (and I love Gilmour's vocals) and Emppu's playing had the spirit of Gilmour's guitar work without copying it (and Gilmour is solidly a Top 3 guitarist for me). Great job. Great choice. This was the End of an Era tour (Tarja's last).

Totally agree. They kept the spirit of the original but did not mimic or copy it, added their own touch to it but respected the original, thus not making a cover but a tribute to the original and amazing song.
I got emotional. It's one of the best covers ever and anywhere.
Thanks for your great reaction 🤩👍!! Marko ❤❤!! Nightwish rules!!
This song gives me goosebumps everytime.
Take a long look at this one again and notice Jukka. He had a terrible migraine headache during this concert. You'll notice him covering his head during the drum breaks. Can you imagine having to pound on those drums with a massive migraine? He was definitely a trooper that day.
So epic what a voice Marco has. I love it can listen all day to him
Emppu made total justice to David Gilmour's guitar solo, super technical yet emotional solo as it's in pink Floyd songs. And Marco Hietala gets underated because Floor is incredible. Marco is amazing, he has songs he sings in Nightwish as "While Your Lips are Still Red". kzread.info/dash/bejne/faGd2ZZ_ibfNYrg.html . Also he sings "The Islander". Marco also has solo work and took part of a project called "Northern Kings" with the best Heavy Metal singers in Scandinavia IMO.
Marco's voice is so powerful & Emppu's guitar work is AWSOME he's so underrated but he plays rhythm and lead in Nightwish
To me this song and its placement in End of an Era was a statement that the quality of music is not diminished by the lack of Tarja's presence. The band is so accomplished and tight and Marco could if they wanted more than carry the vocals. Personally I love this rendition more than the original and I can only imagine as Pink Floyd cringed over another cover, they relaxed and smiled on hearing this one.
Not a NIghtwish fan but this is a really good cover !!
I’ve got two things to say: 1) What a great cover & performance; 2) That’s an absolutely beautiful cap behind ya!
You should sometime check put Brother Firetribe, the guitarist Emppu plays in that aswell. I recommend Heart full of fire for example.
Great! Awesome tribute to Pink Floyd! Marko 🤘
Probably the best cover, or should I say tribute to Pink Floyd by Nightwish. This PF song is 4th on Tuomas' list of his favorite songs. Especially Marco & Emppu do an amazing job in this performance. P.S. For those still having doubts about Marco's vocal abilities, there's this demo version with all the vocals by Marco: Nightwish - The Poet and the Pendulum - demo version (Marco) + lyrics kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZKN5pbt8hpiTZdo.html
What a drummer.. Lets hope he gets better and comes back
The impressiveness of this is that they make it their own, a heavy version - and yet it's so faithful to the original! The keyboard tone, the guitar sound. Drum fills and all were the same, like the march effect, just to name one example. And yet there was the double bass drum and more shred, to metallize it. Hope the jr goes and checks the original. The Orange Floyd was a good one, the entire act :)
Orange Floyd! That was killer!!! 😂 Great reaction fellas 🤘
This is by far the best cover I ever heard, didn't know it was a cover at all. Just listened the original, it was nice but Marco Hietala nailed it.....
Next should be Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean live at Bloodstock 2018! Ps: Insomnium have just released their new official video, another badass song!
Nice reaction. I thought Tuomas's look said something like 'Ok Marco, you got this!'
Nice to see Empu shine
It's one thing for Marco to do David Gilmour's vocals, but Emppu walks in the footsteps of the guitar gods here. Nice reaction guys. 🤘😎🤘 Subscribed and dinged.

1st forthcoming tour-dates of Nightwish are out 🤩🤩🤩 ...starting in May2020 in South America with more to come...
Emppu Em-ulated Gilmour brilliantly!....... Marko's vocals are awesome. (You got that right about Tuomas liking Pink Floyd!)...... Tuomas' arrangement was inspired (so was the lighting on him!).... Jukka on drums is so "INTO IT"!.... I miss his expressions recently!.... I created a NIghtwish fan out of Pink Floyd fan by playing them this song!
I had guitarbumps...
It should be noted that Marko does have a little reputation for adding his own spin onto things, in live performances. I also seem to remember that the original version of High Hopes was one of the songs that inspired Marko to start singing. When it was decided that Nightwish was going to cover it, he swore to do the song justice. (which, omg, did he ever!) Those two things may be the reason for that "dirty look" that Tuomas gives him.
The holiday you had in Finland clearly had a positive affect on you guys! You guys are shining!
Thank you for this, guys! This is epic on so many levels! Marco and Emppu steal the show on this one. Obrigado!! Also, "Pimp Floyd" is an epic name!
I had the same grin on my face as you had during that solo. Epic!
HAHAHA! Great Trump impression. :D Also great song and reaction. Greetings from Finland!
Awesome reaction guys, and the point about Nightwish making it their own. I just heart Pat Benatar's "Heartbreaker" on the radio driving home, and I couldn't help thinking how much I would have loved to hear Nightwish with Tarja cover that. Floor could probably do a great job with it as well.
As a Pink Floyd and Nightwish lover,I think it's a fantastic cover. Can I ask for a metal band you've probably never heard of? Motion Device. The first song to react to would be "Thick Skin". Thanks a lot!
Marco Hietala was the Lead singer of Tarot which is/was an awesome band by it's own right. Hietala is an awesome singer.
Last time I was this early, Arsenal was a proper football team.

You two gentlemen have come a long way with your reaction of Nightwish. I remember the 1st one, yikes it didn't go that well. Glad you did more songs, just look at you now you've become fans. (Love watching people discovering Nightwish). This band is fanominal. This song showcases the guys true talents, absolutely killed it. Pink Floyd should feel honored.

Excellent cover
Ohhh Pink Floyd, the greatest band of all times. Thanks to them we have today's music. Everything is inspired on their music. On the other hand, this cover is great even though it's impossible to outstand the great David Gilmour. Also, Thoumas recognized that Pink Floyd are their biggest inspiration. Anyways, thank you for the review!! P.S.: the last words of the song are "for ever and ever"... it was the last Pink Floyd's song and it was the last Nightwish show with Tarja. I think everything was deeply thought. Thanks guys
love this song so much..Marco just made it to the point where it is constantly stuck in my head!
I love u (2), cause how u show ur musik-passsion to your son (sry for my english, not native speaking) is the same way, my dad showed me his Passion for Pink Floyed, Deep Purple, ACDC a.s.o. in the 80´s. And I LOVE him for this! :D And this Cover is absolutly amazing and special! And yes imo better than the original... it CATCH´s me so much more! Marco´s Voice is Hunting Me...
I had to go listen to the original to compare cuz I've never heard it before. Wow, Nightwish blows the original out of the water! I love how haunting they made it sound. Anything Tuomas touches turns to gold, he is not from this world. I absolutely love Tuomas and his genius mastermind. Marco really brought the lyrics to life
Nightwish - The Siren (End Of An Era)
Dude I just noticed Thuomas messes the very last keyboard part because he starts with the second note of the keyboard part 1st and quickly fixes it. Just after the band breaks the end.
Better..i love it, and i like orginal.
❤️
Do "Pharaoh Sails to Orion" and "Beauty and the Beast" from the concert "From Wishes to Eternity". This is so awesome heavier version of the original and great performance with the feeling and details.
Pedro tens que reagir a Pink Floyd " Confortably numb" live at Pulse. O António vai ficar maluco com aquele último solo de guitarra 😄 É sempre uma maravilha ver as vossas reacções. Grande abraço.

I've always said that I wouldn't complain if there was more Nightwish songs with Marko as the lead vocalist. But he still does have rather big role as a support in some songs, and sometimes even as the other lead vocalist.

Nightwish remake pink floyd song is so awesome song that is my jam on back on day
This song really reminded me of "Hallowed Be Thy Name" from Iron Maiden with the soft intro and the lyrics are sung in the same manner. This was still a good song and good cover though. Cheers for the share!
I saw Pink Floyd perform this live back in the mid 90s. It was incredible to see...one of my favorites off the Division Bell CD. Marco absolutely slays the vocals on this, and due to his power he wins out over Gilmour in that regard. However, as good as Emppu's guitar work is in this (and it is DAMN good), it doesn't compare to the amazing steel guitar solo Gilmour played that night I saw them. The raw emotion Gilmour put into it is about like what Marco's voice did for this cover.
Guys the next video has to be the fan made Edema Ruh (kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZHaaw82Sha6TYLQ.html) a great song but the scenes of the band off stage are just great and watch for the 'Caution WET FLOOR" sign that Floor holds up around 4:10 it is a riot, gives you a feel for the group other than the stage presence you get from all the videos of their LIVE performances. Here this is a great song and few bands would dare tackle a Pink Floyd song let alone "High Hopes" but Nightwish makes this one their own and Marco, well Marco is amazing here, hard to believe he had botched surgery on his vocal chords in the early 90's and had to learn to sing all over again having only lost his high falsetto. Great reaction guys and nice shout out to Emppu here who did a fantastic job, when it is time to perform he is all business even though he goofs around a lot on stage (great to be having fun doing what you love) he is a deadly serious musician when it is his time to carry the composition.
React to the Pink Floyd version!
Raise your hand if this cover is in your playlist :)
no hocus pocus, no bullshit, just music
This is what happens when a band takes a song, makes it theirs and does not butcher it :) For Pink Floyd YOU HAVE TO watch COMFORTABLY NUMB from GDAŃSK

Did he say Pink Floyd and "BAD" in the same breath??? Ohh No He Didn't... The Blasphemy!! And this is before Floor... And I'll never say a cover is better than the original because this has Pink Floyd DNA all over it, but they definitely made it their own and did a great job on it.
Nightwish I love Nightwish and Floor. But I just discovered a female lead vocalist and band on KZread that blew my mind to kingdom come. She’s from the small Faroe island (about 600 people )but if she had 20,000 or more listening to the following 3 songs I am going to recommend they would go apeshit wild for hours after... no one will recommend this so please I beg of you to privately watch ( and your subscribers who are reading this and enjoy entrancing mystical performers ) and I guarantee it will silence your mind and open the floodgates of your heart and soul. Please KZread the following 3 ( this first one please watch last ); “Eivor palsdottir trollabundin” ( first vid 5:44). ( from the Faroe Islands and trollabundin meaning ‘spellbound’ and all who watch this amazing.video will be spellbound.). Wish I was there outdoors sitting with the audience. Great tribal primordial vibes. Atmospheric mesmerizing hypnotic recognizable vocal prowess. Scenery to die for. Please react to this ( as your second reaction) : “ Eivor Palsdottir Wake me Up” ( 7: 11 duration) it’s in English and she kills it with celestial high notes and emotional impact. This song and vocalist has already become in my favorite top 10 female vocalists of all time! Of all time!!! And I just discovered her yesterday!!! How on God’s earth did i ever overlook this world class unknown vocalist??!!??! You will love her and her band. Watch the drummer go crazzzyyy. And now please KZread this first: , “ Eivor Falling Free” ( click first live about 6:47. ). The imagery, her otherworldly vocal is beyond belief. At the end she hits notes that are so celestial so mystical so heavenly that even the great Dimash couldn’t execute with the emotional impact and purity that Eivor does. And a band member shaking his head sideways is a sight to behold. They deserve more visibility! Please pass it along to your metal friends. I’m not into metal but I love nightwish and Eivor. And a huge shout out to “KZread” that made this possible by discovering them. Please react privately if not publicly. I think Eivor May become one of your favorites and your subscribers favorites. Please let me know if I’m off my rocker and they are not that good. I know you die-hard metal fans will be truthful. The first song reminds me of Diana Ankudinova. The next 2: Nightwish. And Love to all.
I think this was before Floor was with them at that time.

Yes, it is during the concert that the 'End of a Era' DVD was filmed. It was after this concert that they gave Tarja her walking papers. That's why if you watch it closely. You see the whole way through all the guys are very somber. Because they knew what was going to happen. None of them took any joy in doing it. It was like she was a bad tooth that needed to be pulled. Painful, but necessary to the well being of the rest of the band.

Marcc, do you understand Finnish? If you do, you should watch Tarja's an hour and half long press confrence where she tells about things related to the letter and what was going in the band. She wasn't a bad tooth, she was a tooth in a mouth that couldn't take all that biting. Tarja had given the band her notice she would leave the band, as they didn't agree to reduce the number of gigs, which Tarja said were too many for her to cope. The band just fired her earlier than Tarja's resigning was supposed to happen. She knew well it was ending, she was just hurt the way it happened.
