Can everyone please give Bisscute some support, she wanted to react to this song as her next reaction, she does know the history of the song as she was told afterwards, she just wanted to hear the song in her own way, there is no need to try and divert her as it is done now. Please just show her some love when the reaction starts, that’s all she wants, she is a fairly new reactor and is nervous as it is but these comments on here are making her concerned, there is no need for that at all

LOTS of reviewers have listened to this masterpiece with no background and still provided interesting and thoughtful reactions to it. Gabriels list is an incredible guide, but it is still up to the reviewer to choose their own path on their Nightwish journey. We should all support them on that, keeping it positive and encouraging, especially for new reviewers. The important thing is they continue the experience because of the positive response and support from the Nightwish army.

Dear Bisscute, thank you for continuing to react to Nightwish music, that's a treasure with diamonds and pearls of beauty. New subscriber here for that, hoping you'll continue on this path. All the best, from Romania! :)

Hi Bisscute, great reaction to a great song. ❤ There are people who will be disappointed that you didn't know the story of this song and why ot was composed in the first place. Don't worry about that! Well, there is no short version but I'll do my best to make one. In 2005 the band fired their 1st singer due to a number of disagreements between her and the keyboard player, Tuomas. Of course the band was huge at this time and when word got out about her dismissal, the world was against Tuomas. This is the part they sing, "I cannot cry cos the shoulder cries more. I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world." Tuomas took the blame very hard from the fans and the media who blamed him for what happened. He felt he wanted to kill himself but decided not to and do it in this song instead. In the end... when you heard the heartbeat, it was HIS heart stopping. He was in very deep depression and didn't know what to do so he had a conversation with his mother. Some of the conversation is highlighted on the last part of the song. At the end they are all sitting because they are showing a moment of respect for the "dead" songwriter. Ok, so that was my short version. As I said, many will be disappointed so pay no mind to those comments. They seem to want the listener to follow a specific path and do their band research and some do that... Some do it their way, like you. If you wanted to react to the song in general and enjoy the music, then awesome reaction and comments. Thank you! 😊❤🤘🤘

Without this song, I would not be here today! I had a "The Poet and the Pendulum" moment in 2019 where I lost everything due to illness. My friends, my house, my car, my career, my studies... everything! I lost a lot of weight and got really weak (58kg when my normal is 72kg). I was faced with ending my life or I could hitchhike back to my home country of Switzerland (roughly 2000km), homeless and penniless, and start anew and this song kept me going to the right path. It remind me that I had a life and no matter how empty and it worthless it felt, it was and is worth living and that I was not damaged goods and that my potential was still with me. Part of my problem that led me here was that I suffer from PTSD and CPTSD and kept going untreated and unmedicated working and studying until I burned out and got really sick. Now, I'm getting help and getting better every day. I'm currently waiting for a decision regarding my disability towards my anxiety and other still present health issues. I still listen to it sometimes but despite being a song I love, it sends me through a rollercoaster of emotions and triggers my anxiety, both for what I feel for Nightwish and for what Tuomas and the guys went through and for my own story. Perks of being an HSP, I guess! Thank you for your reaction! Thank you for your channel!

The backstory to this is epic sadness. Suicide written in a song instead of doing it. I ain’t mad at you not knowing first. Although I would love to have seen you learn The Who’s and the what’s of NW before you went for the hardest one they preformed. But I forgive you! Floor and the guys WILL NOT play this anymore bc Tuomas isn’t in the same dark place he once was. I can’t watch beyond the intro or my new makeup will be RUINED! Gotta go! Fun reaction! Good luck! ~JJ

Bisscute, your reaction was wonderful and there is no reason for you to even pay attention to those who think theirs is the only way to listen to Nightwish songs(or any other songs for that matter). Keep on doing what you're doing because it's wonderful.

WIth so many incredible Nightwish songs, this song is by far my favorite! Absolute masterpiece once Floor was added on vocals.

You haven't heard everything that's possible for Floor. Because she can sing not only very high, but also very very deep. And I mean demon-like deep. "Yours is an empty hope" live Wembley ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vyLsU7Q333k.html

She is Floor Jansen, the valkyrie, the Morrigan, a mistress of metal, a commander of the Army, sings in every octave range and can sing in over 7 languages (Dutch, English, Spanish, Swedish, Finnish, Italian, German) and a wide range of genres If you really want to see some interaction with the band on stage, may i suggest 'last ride of the day' from the Wacken concert 2013. At that moment she wasn't even an official member of Nightwish and the chemistry between her and the band is just off the charts! And not just her own band, as she is amazing as a guest on Epica (Dutch symphonic metal band) especially in 'Sancta Terra'

Geat job girl! I’ve heard this 100’s of times and it still brings me to tears…..

Frankly this almost sacred reverence for 'Poet and the pendulum' is a bit, well.... silly. I stumbled on the song a few years back without knowng diddlysquat and thought it was an unusually complex, deep , thoughtful and dark composition...learning the story afterwards, just added significance and layer of emotion. Bisscute does a good , respectful, job. Enjoyed the reaction, probably more than many of the painstakingly researched efforts. How many people are urged to study the backstory of, say, 'Let it be'? I rest my (feeble) case..;)

This was a nice reaction. I like it that you didn't know the meaning of the song beforehand. Makes for a better, more genuine reaction and you have the sensitivity and intelligence to do it gracefully.

The song is a masterpiece that can be enjoyed without knowing the history. It was the 2nd song I heard of theirs with no knowledge of the history and enjoyed every moment. Great reaction Bisscute!

Hello Bisscute. The song "The Poet and the Pendulum" is a 13 Minute journey through the mind and turmoil of Tuomas Holopainen after the year 2005. It was in that year the band parted with their long-time singer Tarja Turunen and had a personal falling out with her. The pain of the separation was big on both sides, and shown in this song. There is guilt for what happened, there is the responsibility that the band and Holopainen had to show towards the fans,. It was the End of an Era for them, and reason for Holopainen being lost as described in these lyrics. We can only of course to a certain degree suppose how much of these are truly Holopainen's feelings, wishes and pains - but we do know that the lyrics of Nightwish have been up to then very personal. Other songs on the album also digest this separation and falling out of the members with Turunen. However personal and "real" these thoughts are, I feel like this song definitely takes us not only on a journey with Holopainen but also into ourselves. The music underlines the emotional gravity of the song extremely well. And I believe a lot of people can actually relate to a sense of guilt and being overwhelmed that all they desired for is the safety of home and innocence. While being personal, the song can still ring true to it's listener. That's a quality Nighwish possesses in many, many more songs. The emotional journey is one we can all share and very few bands know how to put that journey into song and especially into sound as well as Nightwish does. The band remains through all it's shores and Oceans, one of my main favourites and I hold special place for the band in my musical heart. I hope you have enjoyed reading my analysis and share some of my thoughts. If you do have any comments, please feel free to let me know. And remember the beauty of interpretation is that it is subjective; we can see all and feel different things in the same song and continue to love it endlessly.

Bisscute, you really jumped into the deep end now. haha. This is the most heartfelt Nightwish song, and it is very deep. I hope you research the back story. I love your reactions, keep up the good work.

I enjoy watching reactions to this song, from both those who have researched the backstory and those who discover it cold. The constant thing is that everyone can appreciate the masterful artistry of the song and enjoy the performance. It is an extremely emotional song for Tuomas, and even many Nightwish fans. Understanding what went into this song and what it means makes it even all the more powerful. This song was only performed with Floor 20 times and not since 2016. I am glad you enjoyed it and hope you continue on your Nightwish journey. There is still so much more to discover. You will eventually want to come back to this masterpiece and give this a second listen. Enjoy your journey!

16:06 I was in the crowd for this. When they played the intro I couldn't believe I got to hear the first song I ever heard from this band, the song that showed me just how incredible they are. I love watching you reacting to this astonishing band. We should value it while we can. Also I love you and you're reactions. 🙂

Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me . I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤

Well done Bisscute, great reaction to this very special song. Stay as you are, do your thing on your channel ! Take care, stay healty 🇨🇭🙋‍♂️

Lovely to see someone pulled in by the band and especially by Queen Floor. It proves you don’t have to know the backstory to appreciate how epic this song is. Of course, when you do know the backstory, it elevates the whole thing even higher….

Enjoy the friendly comments, learn from the informative and ignore the negative ones. I'm really disappointed by many Nightwish fans, who act like, Nightwish is the only and best music in the world. And a reaction video is not a music lesson at the university. A reaction channel is supposed to bring fun and especially younger people want to learn about all the music there is, because they couldn't before for many different reasons. So please stay friendly, enjoy the music, but don't get upset, when a young person doesn't know something ... or make your own channel and you can do some smartassing :-) Other than that, I enjoyed your reactions so far, Bisscute !

Everyday I watch your reacts to Nightwish, I love it ,you are so easy, normaly, lovely while you are listening to the music and talking about your thoughts to the lyrics 😊 Please stay on your journey thru the Nightwish universe, please give us many more reactions to Nightwish 🎉, I love them, I love you❤, i can't get enough of both of you ❤❤

Great, time to experience the more cringe parts of the "Nightwish Army". Gatekeeping how to listen to the music "the right way". Get over yourselves, not everyone is as obsessed about the band history as you are, some just appreciate the music. The song and the performance stands on its own, and unbiased reactions are much more interesting for a first time reaction. If people are interested they will figure out the backstory themselves.

Singer's Floor Jansen, her stage presence is mighty and fierce, her voice (for lack of better wording) divine. She's called the Valkyrie of Metal for a reason. Marko Hietala's singing (that's the base player with the marvelous white hair n beard) just acompanies it so well, their playing on stage always reminds me a little of this 'angel and devil on your shoulder' thingy from cartoons.

Nightwish is a great band and Floor is the best singer in the world, she is amazing!!!

The short version of the story. Floor is their 3rd lead singer. There was some drama surrounding the departure of the previous singers. Some fans of those women were blamed Tuomas (the keyboardist/composer/band leader) and they gave him a lot of grief for it. He got hate mail and was made to feel like a failed leader who started to doubt himself. This song is written by him, expressing his emotional journey into deep depression and eventually coming out with the love and support of family, friends, and fans. Other songs like 'Master, Passion, Greed' and 'Bye, Bye, Beautiful' also deal with the drama of having to replace a lead due to attitude problems. The Wacken 2013 festival concert was Floor's introduction to most Nightwish fans. You can tell by their reactions that most fans absolutely love her.

This was a great reaction! I really enjoyed this video! subscribed :) I’m looking forward to more Nightwish because I want to follow your journey with them! Poet and The Pendulum is one of my favorite songs from Nightwish. In terms of both story and music. The song also makes it clear that Nightwish is not just music but also an experience. Feeling, emotional state.

Oh boy now you did it. Here they all come crying about how there is some strict regiment you have to stick with. Ya know what? Bravo Biss you do you 👍

Hey Bisscute! Just discovered you like a couple days ago and I'm going deep into the rabbit hole of your channel. Glad (but no surprised) you loved Nightwish, I discovered them en 2020and its my favorite band ever, Floor, Marko, Tuomas and the rest are just incredible, talented and awesome musicians and people, and this song is for me what defines them from a great band, to a legend one. You didnt need to know the backstory of the song to appreciate it, just the musical aspect and the experience while you listen it its great on its own, you will have a lot of time to rediscover it over and over. Came for Nightwish, already suscribed because you are so cool and your reactions are great!

Great reaction! I especially loved your response when Floor started the "Sparkle my scenery" verse. It was priceless! I think that's probably the same way we all felt our first time too! I know I did. Keep up the great work. Your honesty and innocence is what makes a channel special.

Hi Bisscute, Thank you for sharing your journey into Nightwish's music with us! I love your positive energy, enthusiasm, and unbiased reviews. This by itself, shows the band tremendous respect. As many of my comrades in the army have stated, please do the reviews your own way--we each have our own paths to follow ;) . . . In the end, all Nightwish fans arrive at the same destination, feeling pure enjoyment, fulfillment and appreciation for the wonderful music Nightwish has created. Keep it up and cheers!!

Great reaction! 🥰 My first NW song ever heard was Nemo with Tarja. But Floor finally got me addicted. Nightwish army!

Great reaction Bisscute!! I love how genuine you are. There is a deep, meaningful story to this song for all the band members, but in particular for Tuomas. As you learn more about the band, the more you'll understand the deep nature of the song. Very good read of Tuomas' emotions. I'm pleased that your journey is going well. The Nightwish Army supports you. Keep exploring.

Just discovered your channel, and really love your honest reactions! Great work! :)

Great to see a new member of the army! Nightwish is one hell of a ride with some of the best live performances ever put to video. To answer a couple of your questions. Yes Floor is tall (183cm) and she's also the Metal Queen/Valkyrie/Goddess. The band's third vocalist, a powerhouse of a singer with unrivalled technique and stage charisma, she also happens to be a really modest, gentle down to earth person in real life. Empuu the guitarist is the grinning munchkin who strolls around the stage is not only a superb guitarist but the heart and soul of the band. He is always interacting with the audience and with the band... when he's not pranking them. Toumas is the keyboardist/founder/composer/lyricist and genius of the band. Otherwise known as the Metal Mozart. Marko here on bass is a fantastic singer in his own right, sadly he left the band last year. Hopefully he'll be back. The drummer is Kai, their second drummer (although Jukka the original drummer in Ghost Love Score still works with the band behind the scenes.) Kai is one of the worlds top drummers, Nightwish stuff is quite easy for him but he never gives less than 100% Troy (not seen here) is a English multi-instrumentalist and can play pretty much anything. He's mainly known for the Irish bagpipes and every kind of Irish whistle and flute that exists, he also sings. Troy isn't in all songs but he plays a lot more now Marko has left as he is now Floor's backup singer in the band. The replacement bassist is now Jukka from Wintersun, which just happens to be Kai the drummers other band. Every single member are masters at their craft and all of them are known as being gentle and kind down to earth people with no egos that love what they do. There's no other band like Nightwish and live they are out of this world.

Like many of us, they made you smile at the end, Ilike your genuine reaction. Keep doing this! For.me I am alreadt hooked and so will you. As I walk to work and back every day I listen to Nightwish. It always always brightens my day.... So please keep discovering Nightwish in your own way. It is a pleasure to watch... 😘🤘🤘

Great reaction! This song makes me emotional every time. Keep up the great work and keep enjoying the music

One of favorite reaction of this masterpiece! Good job Bisscute😊

Lovely reaction! Liked and subbed with love from NW South Africa 🇿🇦

You stumbled on the second master piece of Nightwish's trias perfecta, Ghost Love Score, The Poet And The Pendulum and The Greatest Show On Earth. I like to also include the second part of Shoemaker. Some will complain you watched it too soon. I'm not one of them. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much.

Thanks for another great reaction to another great song. I love your channel. This is an extremely emotional song, but you don't necessarily need to know the backstory in order to enjoy it. I had heard it hundreds of times before I knew what it was about😕 In particular, I love how Tuomas borrowed ideas from "The Pit and The Pendulum", a short story written in 1842 by Edgar Allan Poe. The story deals with the psychological torment of a prisoner in the Spanish Inquisition who is publicly tortured and executed for opposing the Catholic Church. He finds himself in a dark room full of rats with slippery sloped floors leading to a Pit and a swinging Pendulum overhead. The Pit signifies Death, the Pendulum represents Time and the sloped floors, rats and darkness symbolise Fear. The protagonist of the story opposed the Catholic Church as he was angry with God for taking away his birth mother, adopted mother and wife with plague and disease. I wonder if Toumas's anguish was caused NOT because he fired Tarja (the original singer) from the band, but because he felt publicly tortured and judged by his so-called fans for doing it the way he did. I believe the score was arranged into 5 separate acts to represent the 5 stages of grieving. Greetings from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Beautiful reaction ! You encompassed my feeling for this song .

Good reaction. Most of us mortals do not get every Nightwish song the first time, it is safe to listen to the songs repeatedly and even do some research as they may be more impactful after. Personally, I do not care if people do first impressions without knowing a lot, it is fine. I actually enjoy reactors who do things differently, not everyone has to do reactions in the same order ;)

Really nice reaction. I enjoy seeing you smile. When you smile, we smile When you cry, we cry Well you have done two of the three big ones. You might as well go for the third one. I think that will be amazing. Nightwish - The greatest show on Earh. Live at Tampere (Finland) Go for it girl. We will be here

Love your commentary. Great reactions! Thank you.

Guys, don't judge the cover of the book. True masterpiece can withstand a test named "listening by unawared person". You know Amanda Webster? She discovered Nightwish from this song. And her reaction was one of the most interesting. UPD: Well, this reaction was... not great, not terrible. You definitely enjoyed the music, but haven't caught emotions and ideas behind it well enough. Will be useful to read the backstory so thoughtfully provided you by Nightwish Army, and re-listen this song off camera as many times as you want to. This song will become better every time, I guarantee.

Bisscute Love your honest reactions. You have a great attitude and seem so willing to learn from each experience. That is appreciated. Keep up the great work

Love your reaction, just seeing the joy in your ice is all that is needed. Its not important to know the story if you can just enjoy the music itself like most of us did when we heared this the first time. Knowing the story gives it maybe another dimension, but i think it can also distract from the pure beauty of the music.

Very nice to see how much you enjoyed this…your appreciation was clear in your eyes and your expressions. The singer’s name is Floor Jansen…she is from the Netherlands, but the band itself is from Finland.

Beautiful reaction @Bisscute , keep it up, Nightwish is going to pleasantly surprise you!!!!

"I was not expecting this !!!" - Welcome to the world of Nightwish :-)

Dear Bisscute ! Usually , when I see reactor , who goes thru Nightwish biggest songs , I literally cannot see any more from them .... especially this song (Very important song to Nightwish Army and the history of Nightwish itself ). Having said that ,... I liked your reaction to this . Not running to subscribe yet (Like only) . Let's see is there anything more after THE Biggest song "The Greatest Show On Earth"... This band is more than subscriber fishing !!! Nightwish Shadow Unit From Estonia is setting our Eyes on you Best of luck and We hope, that there is more coming. 🤘😎🤘.

I'm a very big fan of this band and I would like to hear from you the reaction with the former soloist, Taria Turunen....ready to watch all the reactions with Nightwish!!!👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘

I love your reactions Bisscute. You are hilarious, genuine, thoughtful, and thoroughly entertaining.👏🏻👏🏻💚

Bisscute, this is a wonderful reaction - honest, intelligent and well articulated. The guitarist moving so freely around the stage does so because he can. This is Emppu and he is a fun character in the band. The others are more or less fixed in their positions because of their instruments. Tuomas on keyboards can't go anywhere and obviously the drummer, Kai, has to stay where he is. Marco, the bass player often moves around a lot too if he doesn't have a singing part which requires him to stay near a microphone stand. He and Empuu are often criss-crossing the stage in opposite directions in other songs. The fans on both sides of the stage want to see and interact with them so they move. Troy, who plays the Irish bagpipes - called Uillean Pipes (pronounced ill-en) as well as a series of large and small whistles, guitars and the Irish bouzouki also tends to stay in one spot because of the variety of instruments he has at hand and because he sings as well and needs a microphone. You will see him in "The Greatest show on Earth" playing guitar at the beginning using something called an eBow (electronic bow) which creates a kind of violin or cello sound. I look forward to your future reactions!

This song has been altered twice. In the studio recording with Anette, the Pacific part (Floor's first "angel voice") is sung by the boy at the beginning of the song, reinforced by his choir. Anette has also sung it live without them. The last minute is sung in both versions again the boy. Floor does that part too. For this vocal she needs some reverb to work, which she otherwise doesn't use. According to her Q&A she is 2.60m tall. The question annoys her, but it is the most frequently asked search query on Google. She's almost as tall as the average Dutch man, 1.83m - without the high heels she likes to wear. That's why she's the tallest on the band photo. The thing with the hair is a windmill, or headbanging. Her voice has a range of 3.5 octaves. And others sing what they can, she sings what she wants. Emppu likes to walk around and touch the others from time to time. He probably wants to be with everyone at the same time.

There is always two shows going on. Nightwish show and inside it there is Emppu (guitarplayer) own show 😁.

Voice in the beginning was a soloist of a boy's choir and he was on the album version. Interesting difference is Floor takes one part later in this song which on the album was the boy's part again. In the past they used to cut off a functional male body part before puberty (castrato) so that he could continue having this soprano voice throughout adulthood but this practice is somewhat frowned upon now. I know I would certainly frown upon it if they come at me with the knife. Nightwish is from Finland except Floor Jansen who is Dutch and Troy, who you haven't seen yet, is from U.K. You can just say they are international like the Olympics of music. if you want. Yes there is a backstory to this particular song but it isn't even necessary to do a deep dive on that while you are just starting out anyway. Try Romanticide from Wacken 2013 or Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from Buenos Aires 2018 for more different examples of what this band can do. Picking songs at random also works.

Welcome to the Nightwish family.This is one, if not the most humble band I have ever seen. Our Queen Floor, is a beautiful,very talented, and gracious lady. I have subscribed and hope that you will embark in the Nightwish journey. The band is from Finland. Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen) is from the Netherlands, and Troy ( not present in this song) is from the U.K. Greetings from Alabama 😎

Okay, because of your enthusiasm, you are one of my most favorite commenters from now on 😍😍😍

Bisscute , that is for me totally normal for more then over 40 years in Rock and Metal Music - My best friend in up and downs

Thank you bisscute, your reaction was fantastic

Even though you didn’t know the context of the song, your reaction was delightful. It’s not necessary to know what the song is about to enjoy the great performance. BTW, guitarists will roam from one end of the stage to the other in order to give the fans on each side a chance to see them and interact with them. 😄🤘

Music is not only analysing meanings or lyrics. Sometimes it's just feelings and emotions. Love your reactions Bisscute! Keep going!

The first singer is a boy soprano named Guy Williams. Floor did offer to sing this part but Tuomas decided to go with the recording of the boy soprano.

Midwest Division. Great Lakes Battalion of the Nightwish Army checking in from Straits of Mackinac / Mackinac Island, Lake Huron, USA. I love your Nightwish reactions! A beautiful reaction from a beautiful soul!!!

A beautiful reaction ...How music should be listened to, just to be enjoyed, loved...experienced, the why's...what's and wherefors don't matter a bit...Keep doing what your doing Bisscute....\m/

vocalist : F L O O R J A N S E N ( pronounce Yan-sen) You heard maybe the most difficult Nightwish song as it is full of backstory and meanings that are important to the group and it s fan base. And you reacted greatly. With your own way. don t bother us, we are soo much used to react in our own way with this song that s it s hard for us to accept a different point of vue. Don t bother all that , we love your reaction, we just need time )))) go on the good job ! (as Floor at the end : Thank you)

If i want to make 14 minutes feel like a few heartbeats, this masterpiece does it every single time... I cannot understand how they have the talent to make a song like this. It is long, yet goes by fast and leaves you yearning for more and wish it was even longer 😭

When it comes to Nightwish you are doing it right don't listen to haters or trolls. First you react,to the song as it is, as you hear it. Then you look up the background of the song to really understand what the song is about. Give this young lady a break she is just learning what Nightwish is all about. Keep up the Nightwish reviews I enjoy watching them through new eyes. By the way when Tuomas starts to sing it kills me everytime, always get tears in my eyes.

Great reaction videos. You can't go wrong and can't do better than Floor and Nightwish. I'm always amazed by them. Welcome to the best!! ❤

Great reaction. This was a very emotional song for Tuomas the keyboard player hence why the other guitarists where talking to him. They are a very tight loving band that will always support each other keep up the great work Thank you.

Congrats Biscuit! You have just had your first floorgasm.

For a couple great songs to check out here's a couple Lovebites Swan Song with Chopin Intro ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WBhtqgiXEA4.html and if you like Nightwish and Floor you will love Epica Kingdom of Heaven part 3 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BdBCVMD8TiM.html also 2 other female led bands The Warning Evolve ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3_RB0tRI624.html and Family Band Liliac Sail Away ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l5r2aUl1nvU.html

By listening to al reactions videos i learn So much about the songs and particularly this one cuts the heart

Floor Jansen's voice just 'floors' me when I hear it. lol \m/

You are doing great, keep up the good work.

keep up the great reactions.

Discovered u yesterday.Great work and nice person. greetz from germany.

The beginning was a boy soprano. Jumping into the deep, courageous girl 👌🌹❤ Emppu the guitarist is a guitar God, he is just mostley chilling walking around and up to mischief. Epica have nice Story driven stories !!!

Great reaction! In the beginning the singing voice was a boy soprano btw. Subbed!

“She’s something else” YES ❤️

How dare you be this is talented. ❤

Tuomas' oceans indeed. The man has played more perfect instruments than anyone has a right to...and played them oh so well.

Dont be tooo jealous of Floors singing quality. She is not only absurdly talented but also worked many, many years to come to the level of skill she has. And if you would watch some interviews with her especially in the time from 2013-2015... you will find how much you want her to come to this band and how this was maybe even some sort of destiniy (although I am usually a deeply naturalistic guy). She had a depressive burn-out period for almost a year... just before joining the band in the end of 2012. And she made it although she was unsure but just had no time at all to think what she is actually doing when she was asked to join the band who was right on tour and lost the former singer. I watched a tv show with her from 2015 or 2016 in the dutch television where she met old mates and was joined by the tv show host on a huge concert of Nightwish in Finland (the founders of Nightwish are finnish - Floor is dutch). Her parents also were there at the concert and part of the little documentary. And when Floor saw her parents being proud of her she just started crying cause she finally found her place in life. She is really a very nice person - and she is one of those people you really wish just all the best in life. You can also just check out her own youtube channel where she sometimes on friday makes little faq videos. Of course we all want to have such a talent, such a luck, such a stamina over so many years to keep on track and in the end such a success and such a well deserved status. Most of us dont. I surely dont. But thats life. And its OK. Whenever I see someone like these people doing what they do best and feel the joy of their masterful craftmenship... I cannot other but just be happy to be alive and have the possibility to witness such musical beauty. Btw: Dont be too angry with the angry folks who are a bit too deep into what should be "right" as an approach to get to know this band. There is of course no right and wrong. Try to go on find YOUR way and most folks in audience will appreciate that you are very honest. Sometimes I noticed that you tried to "perform" a bit in the reaction. But most time... it was obvious that you just were in your deep emotions while listening. The strongest suggestion I can make: Try to go on exactly this way. Just be yourself. Thats the point of "good" reactions. See honest emotions. Sometimes when the high vocals of Floor could be heared your eyes had such a nice glance and it looked so nice when you put your hands on your face... you were just cherishing the music deep within. THIS is what makes a good reaction in my opinion. Not doing a "right way". So just accept that there are always many people in the world who think a different way should be walked and sometimes they get mad and angry and crazy. But stay yourself. You are a beautiful young lady... if you go on with your channel and do regularly reactions to any kind of music I am sure you will find "your" audience. And maybe... I will be one of the weirdos who is going to stay :-D Wish you all the best :)

Emppu (guitar) is always walking around. That's his thing. He is also the band prankster. Hahahahaha. Always up to something.

Empu and Marko aren't just chatting with Tuomas there making sure he's OK. He's said this is a very hard song for him to perform, because it hits so close and so hard. He doesn't have any vocals in his monitors for this song so that he can get through it. He's also said he won't perform it live anymore.

Beautiful reaction sweet heart. We are all blessed to live on this planet at the same time as Floor.

My dear Bisscute, I'm not going to go on about checking the backstory - most will. What I will say is I loved your reaction..... your facial expressions are a picture of surprise and pleasure combined.... wonderful!

Most enjoyable honest reaction. There’s a long letter out there ( somewhere online ) that explains exactly the reasoning and emotions behind this song. From Tuomas (the keyboardist and composer of most Nightwish music) to Tarya, the former lead vocalist for many years.

I love watching you react to the music. Your face tells it all. I can't wait to see your reaction to Diana Ankudinova tomorrow.

Floor Jansen! Great reaction again. I love the refreshing 'dive into it'. Your last reaction of Nightwish ended before you were ready and proceeded into 'the poet and the pendulum'. No wonder you choose it to be your 2nd reaction. It may propell your musical journey if you research the background of the song and the lyrics. Then rewatch it.

Your sincere reaction is awesome

To be fair, Biss had 502 comments on GLS. She read Gabriels' introduction to NW, but the addition, with the suggestion to research the reason for the song, was not read. THAT was the only warning she had concerning Poet...so give the kid a break. Cancel Culture has no place with reactions to NW songs. We know she really likes the band, so suck it up, and let's enjoy her trip down the rabbit hole. I read every comment she reacted to and not one was about Poet. I read countless others and....no Poet Warning there either. Show some love gang, and let's get back to the Band we love.

Nice react, keep up the good work, you'll get to know the band gradually in your own speed

How talented are you! Yes. I've heard her sing spanish, english, dutch, finnish, latin and german. I've heard her sing metal, rock, opera,pop, musical and country. I've heard her hold a full-on D6 for 8 seconds and I've heard her do deathgrowls. As some people say, most singers sing what they can. Floor sings what she wants. But the thing about her is, she's no diva. Everything she does is in service to the art, in service to the song. So she can sing lead, but is perfectly willing and able to sing backup too, to let someone else shine. Floor wasn't the voice in the beginning. She could sing that, but the voice was a boy soprano, I think his name is Guy Elliott? They left him in on purpose even though Floor could probably sing his part, because 'a boy's innocence' is a huge theme in Nightwish.

If you look closely, the girders above the stage (that carry the lights and such) slowly fold down throughout the piece, "caging" the band. They move back up during the outro.
