    This song was Tuomas (keyboards) baring his soul for us after they fired their first singer. The fans turned on him and he became depressed. He commits suicide in the song so he didn't in real life. The words in the last part were actually what his Mother said to him. If you noticed the guitarist and the bassist went to stand by him at the end to show support. I don't think they do the song anymore because it takes a toll on him emtionally

    Nothing to add, I just feel that Nightwish community as whole is like the band. Tuomas has done this outerworld experience, even the most difficult times. That being said, I do love that Emppu (the guitarist) goes to check on Tuomas. And for the whole thing, they are standing there all together in the end to show support like a team member. "We are with you all the way" kinda way.

    And even more respect for the keyboardist when you realize he is also the genius composer who writes all this music and lyrical poetry. And, yes, you did hear cello... and oboe... and contrabasoon.... and numerous others. That background is the London Philharmonic Orchestra. They record their tracks in Nightwish's studio for the albums, and they use them as background and timing tracks in the live concerts because it is way too expensive to haul a full pro orchestra around with you on a world tour through many countries and over a hundred venues. The swinging pendulum blade is, of course, a metaphorical reference to Edgar Allan Poe's "The Pit & the Pendulum." The lyrical theme is the keyboardist's metaphorical suicide after the departure of the band's first vocalist. He generally writes his lyrics in a female voice for a female singer, but the story is really about him. In effect, she is singing his feelings back to him. So in the very dark spoken-word verse, it is he who is being metaphorically "raped" again and again and again by the repeated passage of the pendulum blade as it slowly cuts him in half. But, on the brighter side, notice the song begins with the whispered words, "The End," meaning his death, and ends with the whispered, "The Beginning," indicating he needed to metaphorically die in order to experience a rebirth of his spirit, his heart, and his romance. ---Cheers! :)

    This info may help you navigate Nightwish's songs: Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a female fronted symphonic metal band. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrulmentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now still is. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just saw her. There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembly,Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit live (Floor). I hope this helps. I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol

    The background vocals are usually The Metro Voices from London. They also use the London Philharmonic Orchestra a lot although on their latest album they used an orchestra called "The Pale Blue Orchestra." They record the songs with the orchestra then play back the background tracks for the live performances, probably to save money. Can you imagine traveling the world with an orchestra and a choir?

    That boy soprano at the beginning, just like the titles for "Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy", on UK TV, with Sir Alec Guiness (Umm, to old for you maybe). The acceleration at the beginning, woohoo. The Pendulum, inspired from the book and film "The Pit and the Pendulum". Welcome to the Floor experience. Each song is diffferent. This was an ultra-personal song written by Tuomas on keyboards, notice how the guitarist, Emppu goes to check on him, and later, with the bass player, Marco, giving emotional support. The ominous brass, 3 minutes and counting, check the time in 3 minutes... Acceleration again, Marco shouting, did you notice his fingers working hard on the bass? Softened by Floor who gets louder. Three forms of death, the pendulum, guillotine, a thousand cuts (Tarja, himself, the public?) Floor sings the words of Tuomas's mother: "Be still my son, you're home. When did you become so cold... All you need is feel my love". Watch Tuomas, he is barely holding it together. Marco moves over to join Emppu. Ending with the Siren. "Are we finished?", after about 14 minutes, doesn't time fly?

    It was amazing to watch your face as you experienced the roller coaster of emotions this song puts you through. You broke into a big smile almost immediately, which quickly turned into a look of "Oh what is this"? Then you gave us a cautious "I really like this"? Then as the haunting opening vocal began you gave us a big and beautiful smile, and once again quickly began to search for and find the emotional picture unfolding inside your mind. Slowly you appeared to comprehend the impending doom in the minor chord changes along with the haunting operatic vocals.The joy was no longer alive in your eyes. Anticipation builds! The opening chords brought that smile back and the focus to try to understand where this song was headed. "What is this all about"? Then at 4:18 in Floor sings that uplifting line " Take me Home" and your head rose up and back slightly as your eyes rolled upward and closed anticipating the relief of an uplifting chorus. But you find yourself searching again for lyrical meaning and the emotional feel of the chorus, only to realize that the darkness was still alive. By the way that was Marco the bass player singing backup. My favorite reactions were to the Musical Intermission as you called it. You seemed to be mesmerized and taken to a different place. Happy to have left the dark foreboding music behind. Your emotional climax spilling over to the line "Swaying Blade my Lullaby", at which time you let out a very sensual and satisfied "oooohh". All Nightwish fans can relate to that emotional satisfaction! Needless to say the rest of the song takes you back to the intense darkness. We have all encountered that emotional place that Tuomas so masterfully creates as he plunges his music into your soul like cold steel, which leaves your mind spinning and searching for meaning. Then the last slow section begins and once again there is a look of relief and hope. As Floor begins singing "Be still my son - Your Home" a look of elation overcomes your whole being. "Man Down"!!! Soon after as Floor sings "The Blade will keep on Descending" yours eyes open and you begin to search for lyrical meaning wavering between hope when you hear the words "Love" and "Beauty", and the lingering darkness. Fascinating to watch! It goes to show you that as most nightwish fanatics will tell you, it pays off to know the backstory for this very emotional and moving MASTERPIECE. JennThePanda you are beautiful and a wonder to behold!!

    Floor has the unique ability to not only have you hear the song but feel the emotions she conveys in every note she utters. This is the prime example here, anger, depression, sorrow, bitterness, redemption we get it all in a roller coaster ride along with her. This is the perfect song that confirms you experience Nightwish not merely hear them playing especially LIVE. Great reaction by you as you were pulled back and forth as the song went on and Floor drags you into a almost hypnotic state listening to her rendition of this song. Tuomas the keyboardist records all the symphony sounds to play them along with the LIVE presentation (Believe it is the London Philharmonic). Marco the bassist and duet partner for Floor is remarkable vocalist in his own right, especially since he had botched surgery on his vocal chords in the early 90's and had to learn to sing all over again. The band is just spot on as always especially LIVE, and the reason why I buy the albums (supports the band) but always look for the LIVE versions of any song. Next up the other epic song Greatest Show on Earth LIVE (kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZmmW1Nx9eq7AY9I.html) another ride you totally enjoy!!!

They released their last completely new album in 2010 and a re-recorded version of their first album in 2011 with some updated lyrics and sound. So Marko was still recording and playing with Tarot while also being a part of Nightwish.

But even with that damage, he is still amazing male singer.

    It is a good thing that I've watched The Poet and the Pendulum a zillion times because I was totally smitten and entranced by the serenity of your beautiful facial expressions throughout this performance. Wow, just wow!!! Let me tell you some more info about The Poet and the Pendulum because there is a lot of drama involved. First off, you need to know that Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboardist, composes and writes the majority of their songs. Many of those songs deal with events that are personal to him and you have to accept from me that The Poet and the Pendulum was his most personal one. The song deals with his emotions after having to dismiss their first singer Tarja Turunen from the band in 2005. He knew her from when they were both young and she was with the band from the beginning together with drummer Jukka Nevalainen and lead guitar player Emppu Vuorinen (yeah, they're Finnish!). The official reason for firing her was that Tarja more and more started behaving diva-like as well as her husband/manager interfering with the band's affairs. The way she was fired was remarkable to say the least. It was by means of an open letter to her which was made public even before she read it. Everything caused an avalanch of negative reactions from a big part of their fans as well from the media. Even the Finnish prime minister had a say in this! Tuomas took all the blame, though it was a decision made by all band members. It pushed him into a deep depression and he even had suicide thoughts. After talking with his parents, who were a great support for him all the time, he decided to compose TPatP in which he commits suicide instead of doing it for real. The song still is very hard for him to stomach and it is not part of their setlist anymore. I subscribed and thank you very much!

    I loved your reaction to the song. You went through a similar experience then me. And man does Floor know how to evoke emotions with her voice making you feel the desperation and pain contained in the song. I absolutely love the closing section and those last notes. But i got the impression that you did not research the song before listening to it. Underneath you find what the song is all about. Tarja (1st vocalist) and Tuomas (the keyboard player) were close friends from childhood onward and she was one of the founding members of the band. But ever since she met her now husband and manager, who convinced her that she was the star of the band and would be better of solo, the atmosphere in the band deteriorated. Although it was decided that she would record one more album with the band before going solo things got so bad by the end of their last tour with her that they decided to make a clean break after their last concert of the tour (The end of era was the last show released as dvd). I think you can kind of see the tension in the band if you take a closer look at the concert. They fired her directly after the show was done by handing her a letter. This obviously was a hard thing to do for Tuomas because of their close friendship in the past. To be clear to the fans on why they thought this was necessary they published the letter on-line at the same time (not the best way to handle this). Although they had expected some critique they were totally surprised by the enormous backlash they received from the press and fans. The biggest brunt of the backlash was directed at Tuomas directly who was thrown in to a depression because of this. He also did no longer see a future for the band he had worked so hard for. He considered suicide but knew this would hurt his close family and friends so he decided to commit suicide artistically by this song. At one point he even moved back in to the house of his parents (mother and father) who put him back together again and this gave him the strength to make a new start. On some of these occasions when they play this song he asks the technician to cut of microphone so he does not have to hear the lyrics. You will also see Empuu and Marco checking on him to see if he is OK. Listen to song again with that knowledge and it will all make way more sense.

    Nightwish has a way of taking me on those trips too. I think her voice just might be so pure, skeeters wouldn't be able to live around it. What do you think? Maybe if you put her on full volume they'd stay away?😜😂 Marko is the bassist and he has an amazing voice too. He's very similar to Floor in how he can change his voice up to match the theme of the song or section of a song. He sings some really pretty songs as the primary vocals too. You should check that out sometime.🤘👍💯

    I like you and your music reactions so I really enjoyed this video. Nightwish has become one of my favourite bands especially now with Floor Jansen on vocals. Some other people in the comment section will tell you about the band and this song so I'd just like to give a special thank you for your comments towards keyboard players. That was such a nice thing to hear. I'm a Finnish songwriter and my main instruments are the keyboards and the drums. Most of the time I've used four keyboards on stage and I still had to switch sounds in the middle of some songs. I was forced to use mostly preset sounds previously but in the last few years I've bought some better synthesizers to create some more unique sounds with them. It's not easy to decide which kinds of sounds to use and what really fits into the song. You could make almost any synth sound good or bad depending on your choice between the usually not so impressive presets or your own sounds... but it's what you play that matters the most of course. :-) Well, I guess that's enough of my ramblings. I hope to see more of your music reactions later. I might wish for more Nightwish but I'm happy with anything you decide to listen to. Thank you for being you.

    Well just to shed some light into this here are some sources about the backstory of this song: First of all the Open Letter to Tarja.Tarja's open letter (why tarja was kicked from nightwish) kzread.info/dash/bejne/pJaf0q-godSeoLg.html Interview Nightwish - Tuomas Holopainen (part 1) at around 1:50min Tuomas explained a bit to that: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ooR4sKeCpJfKZ7g.html Nightwish interview - Tuomas Holopainen (part 1) at 10:00min kzread.info/dash/bejne/qGppj6erlrjfhrA.html Here he stated: Cathartic is a good way of putting it. The ultimate example being is The Poet and the Pendulum a song where i literally kill myself in the song so that i wouldnt have to do it in real life.
