We know Tommy J for his high pitched singing and guitar skills extraordinaire. In this rare video we get to see an alternative side of Tommy. He chooses to sing with a deep voice and plays a classic piano. It's like Tommy in another dimension. Very different and one of his most beautiful songs.

Yes, I was thinking that too! So different from the last one I did, "You Raise Me up"!

I'm glad you continued reacting to Tommy's music. He releases a new cover every Friday, so there is a lot more to discover. Few more suggestions: She's Gone (Steelheart), Empty Rooms (Gary Moore), The Light (Tommy's original, re-recording of a song he first recorded when he was 18). Also, check out new Sabaton song 1916 (cover of a Motörhead song) - it's very emotional

Thanks for all the great suggestions! More soon!

Tommy Johansson who really don't do covers, in my opinion he just improves them 😊

Great observation. I agree 👍

Fantastic! Both of you.

The connection to Nighteish is that Floor Jansen is married to Hannes Van Dahl, who is drummer in Sabaton where Tommy plays guitar. Tommy has also done some music arrangements for Floor' solowork during covid. I recommend The Price, cover of Twisted Sisters or any covers of Gary Moore that Tommy is very inspired by, like Over The Hills and Far Away or Empty Rooms, where we see his guitar skills.

Hey great review. Let me introduce you to a new artist that is starting to make waves. Her name is Lucy Thomas from the UK. I can tell you that she has the most angelic voice I have ever heard. She has out 4 albums now with some of her songs reaching 50 million views on KZread. All of the voice coaches that I have seen say that she is simply amazing. Please give her a listen. Lucy is 18 yrs old now. There is several duets with her younger sister by 5 yrs that will make you smile and your day.

Thank you, Jennifer! There's sooo much yet for you to enjoy! Pick an upbeat track...how about Swedish Tommy, singing in perfect Italian...Una Canzone d'Amore. Tommy is the lead guitarist in the Swedish metal band Sabaton, has his own solo band, Majestica and still uploads a new cover on his YT channel every Fri. The connection to Nightwish is that, Sabaton drummer Hannes Van Dahl is Floor Jansen's husband. Also, Tommy helped Floor with some of her earlier solo work.

Tommy's connection with Nightwish is not a musical reality but he does arrange and play on a number of Floor Jansens' cover versions.

Would you mind sharing a link?

Tommy is great, but I only found his music (solo, Majestica, and Sabaton) because I heard Dan Vasc's absolutely amazing cover of this song on 9/15/20. Immediately, I was hooked on him, and I started listening to the bands he covered, if I wasn't already listening to them. Please 🙏 do some reactions to Dan, and start with his absolutely phenomenal cover of Amazing Grace. Never have I loved that song as much as I do since Dan released it on 4/7/23! That man can sing anything! Do yourself a favor and listen to his amazing music! Nice reaction to this song, by the way. Tommy is my second favorite right now.
