True, but it's still a colaborative process when they peace their songs together, everyone gives imput and refines his/her part in the song. This is obvious if you just compare Ghost Love Story of Tarja to the one of Floor. Every member does it's part of a song his or her way.

Tuomas stands in rarified air among composers, the band are tireless servants to music and all leave ego behind when working. The variety of NW is incredible. Tuomas is inspired by movie scores, he draws heavily on the work of Hans Zimmer. The unique aspect of symphonic metal composition is that every sound and instrument has a place, nothing is off the table. Other metal with extraordinary composition: Wintersun 'Sons of Winter and Stars' live studio playthrough Opeth 'Ghost of Perdition' live at Red Rocks Dimmu Borgir 'Mourning Palace' from The Forces of the Northern Night dvd
Often forgotten and I would consider him as the seventh member of Nightwish, is Pip Williams, who does all the arrangements for the London Philharmonic with Tuomas. Just want to give him a shutout.

Something I've often wondered about, is how involved/how much of the symphony writing is directly from Tuomos vs. Pip Williams? I'm just curious how that works. Does Tuomos hand symphonic scores to Pip Williams and just have him edit/refine them, or does Tuomos mostly write the parts that the band plays and lets Pip write the accompanying symphonic parts?

I just recently jumped on the "Nightwish reactions" bandwagon.

The band as a whole is just phenomenal, but also as individuals all of them create amazing things. They are just magic! I cannot get enough of them, new and old material, all of it!
O man, Nightwish is not just a band. They are A ONE OF A KIND, BRILLIANT, UNIVERSAL ORCHESTRA. MY GOD THEY ARE SO GOOD.
That's the best compliment you can give to Tuomas 👏👏👏 Dropped the 🎤 🤘🤘 Stay healthy 💪

I don't know if someone has mentioned it already but Floor is also a vocal coach on top of being in the metal scene for years now. Also, if you're interested in something simple but different.

oddly enough, the more I've gotten into Nightwish kinds of metal, the more I've come to appreciate Opera. oh, and the whole second disk of the latest album is a symphony. Nightwish has it on their channel as multiple songs, but it is really one long piece.
Do Song of Myself next. Then maybe Ghost River and Last Ride of the Day from Wacken. Poet, I think needs to be done later on having seen a few more songs. The Wembley and Tampere shows are different in style to Wacken. Maybe do The Greatest Show on Earth from Tampere and Shudder Before the Beautiful from Wembley. At the minimum do Poet and the Pendulum when you have seen something from the other two shows. Then, research the lyrics and meaning behind it before watching.

This might be not needed for it has already said, but I would say without the prior research for lyrics you can get maximum of 50% out of those songs. Most of the NW songs have multilayer meanings in lyrics and some songs are just "nice" if you not know the history of band or the things they like science, history eri. And the latest album Human ll Nature... it needs to be listened in the order it is on album..sure every song is its own masterpiece, but (again) they form a timeline, a story as a whole. And especially Shoemaker needs prior research which will clarify the lyrics. Cheers man, you are doing fine reaction videos, like how you analyse things

Nightwish takes you on an emotional rollercoaster ride with every song. Not many bands can do that.
Wintersun is another (Finnish) metal band that never disappoints. The complexity and technicality of their songs is insane! Especially if one takes into account that all of their music is composed, arranged and for most parts recorded by one single person (Jari, the singer). Try "Time" and "Sons of Winter and Stars" from the Sonic Pump Studios Rehearsal-Session :-)

Best Metal band of the world in my opinion, but if you jump right into it with no metal background it can easily be too overwhelming and become a wall of noise. Their music is so complex that you need to have trained ears so to speak but then its an explosion of emotions and quality of sound. Also it's worth to listen to Ensiferum where Jari was singer on the first two albums (Treacherous Gods from their debut is my absolute favorite), he was already good back then but his voice developed incredible from there to Forest seasons (Loneliness being a masterpiece).
Been working in rock business almost 30years, seen thousands of concerts and this concert is out of this Planet. Everything clicks just right. No concert is even near this. Greets from Finland 🤘🏼🇫🇮😎❤️🤘🏼😎🇫🇮❤️

And if you feel like something different while still being Nightwish, Phantom of the Opera (live) from the End of an Era tour in 2005 with the original singer, Tarja Turunen. Although honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with anything from this band.
Your pause at 4:51 just hit the PERFECT moment. I almost lost it at Marko's expression.
Nightwish uses a backtrack from an orchestra and a choir. So I don't think he uses his keyboard for the choir. The London Philharmonic Orchestra (the same one that did the music for Lord of the Rings) does the symphonic parts and Metro voices choir group and London's young musicians choir group do the choir vocals. And because of the back tracks, the band cannot make any mistakes. Like this band wasn't awesome enough already. I know. lol

Love your in depth reactions Chase :) You are going down a massive "rabbit hole" with Nightwish. If you do do "Poet and the Pendulum" please do the research of the backstory first and make sure you have a box of tissues handy as I (a 54 year old bloke) always have a weep at that one!
The album "Imaginaerum" as a whole is a masterpiece and i believe to be their best album. Each song is great but it also form one big music piece. It's just amazing.
I like how you describe what u see. I get a better feeling from the musician perspective from you then from any other vocal coach reaction. Keep going. An idea for content could be that you maybe are able to see the progression from this band. Because like Ghost love score that you already reacted to , there is another live performance of them from 2018 - so 5 years later. Or might be interesting to see how Floor did in the Dutch show beste zangers, where she sings songs from other artist or perform pop songs.

@@ChaseCarneson Be careful which live performances you pick. The newer Wacken is a valiant effort under horrible conditions, but not a first recommendation for new listeners. Also stay away from the Bloodstock concert with its bad audio mix. Next to the Wacken 2012 one, Wembley 2015 and Tampere 2015 (sometimes also given as 2016) are both great, and so is the more recent Decades tour stuff. Nightwish videos are not bad per se, and often visually interesting, but they have a more mainstream, poppy mix. Use them preferentially, though, if you ever want to check out their second singer, because singing live was ... not her main strength. For the first singer, the End of an Era live performances or the music videos are ok.
This is my favourite from the Wacken concert! This, and Ghost River (a real old school banger) EDIT: I commented initially before watching your reaction. Again, I can't stress this enough. Your reactions are wonderful. The appreciation you show for elements that so many people miss is your differentiator. It makes me curious to hear some of your own content as a musician as well
They are all bangers, trust me. Tuomas doesn't know how to write fillers, they are all epic. I can't wait for you to review their latest album Human Nature, which I seriously recommend you do from start to finish, 9 songs, all have lyric videos except one which is the official first single, Noise. The video for that is a masterpiece in itself by the way. But even though it will be amazing to see you analys this absolute masterpiece of an album, stick to Wacken first and do a few more live songs, then when you're ready, hit Human Nature. Can't wait, thank you again for imho the best reaction video channel on KZread.
Hey, watched all your videos but I'm coming late to the comment party. Absolutely love your analysis and deconstruction of all songs. I do love Nightwish, but they do have their fair share of "okay" songs (Elan, Amaranth, Alpenglow) that resonate as feelgood songs. Usually they are put in live performances after the longer, heavier, darker songs to relief some of the tension for both band and audience, I guess. I would really love to see you breaking down "Poet and the Pendulum" (the performance in the Wembley Arena 2015 would be perfect) and "Greatest Show on Earth" (performance in Tampere 2015).

i appreciate your more technical insights into music. Nightwish is unrivaled and on a level of their own as far as symphonic metal goes.
That entire concert is amazing from start to finish. Some of her best singing, like in Ghost Love Score, are well over an hour into the concert.
Ive listened to this song hundreds of times, and I still had 3 separte "floorgasms" watching this reaction! The band is amazing and Floor is mind blowing. She owns the crowd
Also as for more recommendations I will throw out "Weak Fantasy" from the Tampere show. Also I'm not sure if anyone has told you but Floor was on a Dutch TV show called Beste Zangers 2019 last year. It is a cool format they get a group of popular singers from different genres and take them to a tropical paradise where they can hang out and get to know each other better during the day and then in the evening they get together and one of them is the "focus" that person does not perform that night and the others will sing a song for them. They usually sing a song that the focus wrote/performed or just one that has special meaning to them, I think everyone provided a list of songs before the show starts. If you want to see what Floor is capable of in a much more intimate setting I highly recommend it. I will say that the one of the many impressive things about it was that her first 4 songs were all in a different language (German, Dutch, English, Spanish).

'Ghost River' is also an amazing Nightwish song, similar vein to Storytime. There's The Islander which is a beautiful ballad. The Live at Tempere version is stellar. And something from older Nightwish is their version of Phantom of The Opera. Dark Chest of Wonders is also a favourite. And how could I forget The Greatest Show on Earth. That one is an epic. If you ever plan on doing that one you're in for a good ride. As always. I enjoy these videos a ton.
Definitely my favourite reactor so far - even the good ones just focus on vocals, so it's great to get a rounded analysis of the entire band and composition! As for recommendations - for Marco you've got his lead/solo vocal and guitar on The Islander live at Tampere, or their cover of High Hopes which is older. Phantom of the Opera, the Nightwish arrangement, live with Marco and original singer Tarja on vocals. No live versions of the new album tracks yet apart from an acoustic rendition of How's The Heart which is beautiful: Floor being tested with Tuomas' lyrics and multi-instrumentalist Celtic genius Troy on guitar. Well worth your time. Beyond Nightwish there's Floor's time on Dutch TV show Beste Zangers. It's a programme where a group of singers from different genres and backgrounds perform songs for each other just for the sheer love of music. Floor really showed what she can do. Personal favourites are her version of Shallow and doing Phantom with Henk Poort, who is a Dutch musical theatre legend who played the Phantom professionally. Greatest Show On Earth. Can't decide which version I like best. Tampere live has fireworks but the ending monologue is over the credits. Live at Wembley plays out the song in full and has a guest come out to read the end part to the audience. It's all about evolution, from the Big Bang through to now, with a bit of the evolution of music thrown in - Bach to Metallica - which most reactors miss completely. More Devin Townsend too ;) Bastard/Funeral/Death of Music live at the Royal Albert Hall if you've the time.
Sometimes is very hard to say what exactly Tuomas is playing live. Usually when Nightwish records their album , they use London Symphony Orchestra, so it's understandable that they can't play with the whole orchestra on stage. They use prerecorded samples with some prerecorded back vocals from Floor and choirs. You know, as a musician, how hard is to play under a click. Btw, Tuomas said in an Q&A last week, that he wants to make one concert with a live orchestra and choir, because logistics and organization for a tour is a nightmare and impossible. Floor Jansen is a vocal goddess, she can sing almost every style, the most versatile singer in the world (I haven't heard her yodel or throat sing...yet). She used to be a vocal coach as well. Keep rocking 🤘
Your reaction at 8:00 is why I watch these videos; it reminds me of when I rediscovered Nightwish. Shock, followed by a satisfied smile, and then finally some head bobbing with a grin.

@@ChaseCarneson I'm not sure if you're familiar with classical music, but if you're planning on doing a reaction on The Poet and the Pendulum, it might be interesting for you to see the similarities between Tuomas and Hector Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique (1830). On second thought, it might be cool to look into after a first reaction. Berlioz attends his own execution and funeral in his symphony, so it's potentially even darker than Edgar Allan Poe's The Pit and the Pendulum.

Hi Chase, you did a great analysis to my fav song 'Storytime', however this time you were radiating amazement, admiration throughout the song to Floor and the band. I loved it very much! Thank you.

I was blown away by them. Honestly loving reacting to them and there's loads more to come
Excellent choice today! Consider adding "Yours Is An Empty Hope", Nightwish (Live) to the list. The diversity of Nightwish is truly unbelievable
The band itself had been through difficult times losing 2 vocalists, Floor herself had been through difficult times losing her previous band due to health issues but the end of this tour headlining Wacken rejuvenated the entire band and the result is this tremendous concert. There are albums that succeed crossing any musical genre, this one has to be there as rock/metal fans should appreciate the genre playing and other fans simply for the professionalism and skill of the arrangements.
Maybe slightly different but still very much Nightwish..my walden at Tampère and Alpenglow at Wembley London..i want my tears back at Buenos Aires (all happy folky songs) and one of my favorites is Dead boy's poem also at Buenos Aires (beautiful emotional song). And soooo many more..enjoy the ride✨
Another fantastic reaction!
When you said "this must be such a hard song to sing, its just non stop" and she sings that tail off like she's warming up her vocals 😂😂.
Chase! Thank you for jumping onto the Nightwish train! Your reactions are so great, so professional, so fitting for the Greatest Band on The Earth! I’d love to hear collaborated review by you and Charismatic Voice! Also, if you have not reacted to Nightwish “cover” (perhaps only cover better than the original?) of Pink Floyd “High Hopes”, please do!!
„Yours Is an Empty Hope“ would be my next choice

Recommend "Yours is an empty hope" (live at Wembley 2015) and one of their most recent songs "Shoemaker" (look up the meaning beforehand). Floor takes the vocals to ENTIRELY new levels
From a drummer point of view. Storytime has one of the most difficult part to play. ♥️🤘 Great reaction
I remember listening to this for the first time when it came out back in the days, and I was also surprised by those strange vocal line endings in the chorus. It's nice to hear you put much better words on things as I'm not such an expert in music. :) I learn things with you about songs I've listened to, sang and played hundreds of times.
I started my Nightwish journey with you, Chase, but I still come back to your reactions because they're so damned instructive and sensitive.
A couple of Finn hints. 1) There are no silent letters in Finnish. Every vowel is pronounced (sometimes leading to curious extended diphthongs). Every consonant is pronounced, a doubled consonant being a syllabic break. 2) With all words (and proper nouns) the primary stress is placed on the First syllable, and not on the 2nd, as is the case in English. I’ve made up a letter pronunciation chart but this is a dumb place to type for an hour. [It has been said that English is a language with relatively few rules but thousands of exceptions. Finnish is a language with thousands of rules but very few exceptions.]

you said part of the song sounds like a horror comedy. That's right on point. Imaginaerum, the album this song is from, has the horror comedy them running through it.
I'm sure you'll get many NW recs. I'll say the live versions of Weak Fantasy and Yours is an Empty Hope. But I'd like to offer something different too. Some of which might fall outside your musical horizon, but I think you have a genuine appreciation for singing talent even though you're not a singer yourself. I think there is a strong case to be made for Floor being the best singer in rock/metal right now. You haven't seen half of what she can do yet. Last year she was on a reality tv show called Beste Zangers in her home country of Holland where singers perform for each other in a very small, intimate setting. She smashed all 6 or 7 of her performances even though none of them are her songs(just leave Phantom of the Opera for last!). Listen to her growl, shriek, and scream in ReVamp - Disdain (live at graspop). Listen to her transition from her chest voice, to head voice, to growling all in the same song in ReVamp - Wild Card (live). Listen to her sing straight up opera with O mio babbino caro. Listen to her sing with the Metropole Orchestra for a Final Fantasy video game in Sound of the Wind. Listen to her sing on the radio with her old band After Forever - Equally Destructive (semi accoustive live 2007). Or maybe listen to something much more recent, like the guitar/voice duet performances of Nemo and/or How's the Heart on Planet Rock. My point is that the woman is a force of nature and is basically the King Midas of singing. Do yourself a service and go listen, or better yet react! And it is quite a shame for Marco, the bassist, right? He is a great singer in his own right and he does sing solo from time to time. So unfortunate for him that he has to live in the shadow of the colossus, but Tuomas finds plenty of space for his voice as well!
Just kept laughing becouse after listining this about 10000 times, I still have the same reactions as you! 😄 Floor blows our minds!

Watching you react to this was pure joy!
I really enjoy your reactions, you bring a lot of experience as a musician which I love. For further Nightwish I can highly recommend The Greatest Show on Earth Live at Tampere (really epic and I get lost in this performance avery single time) and the Planet Rock Acoustic session of How's The Heart. A notion to these songs: Both of them were published with Floor as the singer of the band, while everything from the Wacken 2013 Show you have been reacting to was published before, since she just joined the band shortly before that show. Of course, Floor masters all Nightwish songs, but I think it's different to listen to songs that were written with Floor in mind as the singer.
Sir, you have my respect. Finally, someone who can express depth and appreciation at the same time. I learn from your analysis things that I’ve never paid attention to, enjoying a subliminal experience as opposed to picking them out for further appreciation. When Floor sings I hear Ann Wilson, Pat Benatar and so many others besides herself and they all sound tinglingly delightful. I cannot discount Tuomas, Marco or the drummer(s) to say nothing of the others but am guilty of perpetually awaiting any glimpse or sound of her and don’t want to miss everything else. You help me with that. Great analysis, as always, please carry on! Cheers 👍
i love your analyses. they're spot on, you give some wonderful insights, and you love this woman as we all do in the NW Army. oh, and a double Floorgasm was awesome to see!! i subbed just after the first floorgasm

In another video you asked about knowing people who were at this show. The girl in the black dress at @9:24 used to be one of the two singers in my previous band and she used to get singing lessons from Floor at the time she was asked to join Nightwish, so we were like "you're getting singing lessons from the singer of Nightwish!!"😃🤘🏼🖤 How awesome is that?😅

You are absolutely spot on with your "horror comedy" comment. That album (Imaginaerum) has a lot of that vibe to it (especially Scaretale) and was accompanied by a Nightwish movie with the same title. So there is the tendency in Tuomas songwriting and composing which is influenced by movie scores (he actually wrote a score in his solo project for the the comic The Life and Times of Scrooge). Also in one of your other reactions to Nightwish you compared the structure of the songs to the ocean, which is quite interesting as Tuomas stated that he is quite influenced by the ocean and wanted to become a marine biologist when he was young, something which is also reflected in the title of their second album "Oceanborn" and you hear references to the ocean throughout all their album releases. If you want to have a glimpse of the old Nightwish "powermetal"-times I recommend "Stargazers" (opening track from their album Oceanborn) arranged for their current set-up at their Tampere show.

Also to experience the evolution of the band in terms of songwriting and composing in one shot I can recommend to listen to their first demo "Nightwish" (which gave the band their name and is released on the best-of album "Decades") and then to their absolute master piece "The Greatest Show on Earth" from Endless Forms Most Beautiful

Makes sense. Thanks for that and thanks for the support.
i've watched some of your reaction to Nightwish, and I gotta say I'm impressed! You approach it in a more methodical way, a more saavy way. While some people will say "oh this is cool", you are more like "this is 8th pace on the bass, but 7th on the voice". Makes you look more like an authority, and also helps me appreciate how much work the band put into this. Thank you for all of that, i feel a bit more educated now. I think we should get this type of commentary, then go to enjoy them live and appreciate their true tallent. I certainly have a new found respect for Nightwish after watching this

And imagine, that it's just a one song in a concert, not just a one single performance! How well Floor sings every song and how strong her voice is!
I love that they love what they are doing.. This concert, the Wembley Arena show, Tempere, Buenos Aires, etc.. You'll eventually move on to those shows to get a picture of their evolution in Tuomas's song writing.. You have probably heard that Floor is not the original lead singer for Nightwish.. She joined the band mid world tour, like 8 months before this Waken 2013 show. Annette their second singer could not continue so she quit. Floor's current band at that time was inactive so Toumas's first call was to her, she flew out and took over. When she got there she had 48 hours to learn the set list in preparation for Nightwish's next show.. Anyway the point is, Toumas writes songs to match the singers abilities, so none of these songs were written for Floor. She just does a spectacular job of performing and putting her stamp on, these songs weather it was originally a Tarjia or Annette song.
How wonderful is it to see someone so happily glow after hearing this song? Great reaction!
Great feed back..and yes compositions they do..Thomas amazing.. Floor..yep..multiple Floorgasims
Watched this 3 years ago and I remembered it right. Your’s is the best reaction for this song.
My friend, I always learn so much from your reactions to Nightwish. You dissect so carefully, revealing secrets, and then reassemble to a glorious whole. You don't speak over anyone's head; your humility mixed with emotional openness makes for a well-composed and thoughtful analysis.
Try "Ever Dream", the combination of voices of Floor and Marco there is just amazing. Or you can try "Yours Is An Empty Hope", if you prefer more heavy songs (Floor even growls there).
Just love your analysis. I'm discovering little things I never thought about before. At some point you might want to dive into their past. There is real magic there too. The old Nightwish magic. I would suggest not listening to Poet and the Pendulum until you've been through the early stuff. It's a masterpiece, but context is really important. Tarja Tururen, the first front woman, was (and still is!) something completely unique and beautiful. Nightwish was built on her voice. Bless the Child (2003) kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZoV3p5aadqXdqMo.html That old Nightwish magic. Nothing like it. "Think of me long enough to make a memory." Ever Dream (2005) kzread.info/dash/bejne/nn1mubSLaM--l6g.html Watch Thoumas' face. He knew it was her last show with them. "My song can but borrow your grace." And of course... Phantom of the Opera (2005) kzread.info/dash/bejne/lKSXsLOTosvOe8o.html God mode.
