Nightwish - Dead Boy's Poem | First Time Reaction 

If you want to check out my other videos from Nightwish you can find them here: ru-vid.com/group/PLuzXo6kxCkw-u-8z-Yz7UnMkHBN5LJmyW

Emppu is the master of guitar solo's, he never plays too little or too much, just plays exactly what the song needs.....🤘🤘👍👍

Whenever the words 'Boy'; 'Poet'.;'(Ocean) Soul' are used in a song, you can be certain it is very personal to Tuomas. You mentioned you will like everything Floor would sing. What about the phonebook: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CLUr1DLwEQg.html

I can't explain why but this is my favorite Nightwish song and this live version is my favorite performance of the song. Another reactor said it best. The last two minutes of this song belongs in museum. I would add that this song and Nightwish the band belongs in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

She is just as good now. I saw them last night in Toronto, Canada, and they were amazing!

This is stunning, one I recommend all the time. Beware Onions though. Obviously they have Jukka on bass now but he's not a vocalist for them (though I believe he does sing with Wintersun). There are songs Tuomas says they will not perform without Marco. Meanwhile Floor and Troy cover the songs that they feel can be done justice without Marco. This is a rare song where Emppu does not smile after his solo. There was a video release earlier this week (maybe last week) of Floor being given a phone book and singing the entries under A. Priceless.

Nightwish and Biscute always makes your day better!

Floor sang the telephone book last week in a dutch radio show..you can find it on RU-vid..." Floor jansen singing the phone book ( live npo radio2)

Thank you wery much! Just great❤. About Emppu, I met him first time, outside like back stage or fan meeting, In a local train To Helsinki like 20 years ago. He had his guitar case and was sitting alone In the middle of the day. I got my self together and asked him very politely To sign my note pad. Of course he did gladly and we spent like 45 Min. Just chatting about normal stuff, Nothing about music, cause he is such a nice humble guy he do not need any "fan" To bother him. And of course we had these typical Finnish "silent" moments. And that proved me nothing has changed since 1996 and 24th of April 2022 when I saw him Last time in Helsinki. Same old prankster Who turns Floor's ear piece/monitor OFF while walking around the stage😅😅❤❤❤

This song is so very beautiful and Floor’s execution truly draws at your emotional heartstrings. Just amazing 💥💥💥

Nobody can hate you for pausing 🤣.You might not have musical training Bisscute, but your reactions are spot on and from the heart...Love it!

I have never seen Emmpu so serious, definitaly a song that goes very deep😟😟

6:14 funny you mention that... on Dutch radio she peromoted her solo single "Fire" and one deejay told.. she could sing a phonebook and still sound amazing... and they challenged her to do so.. and she did sing a page from a phonebook, and is sounded Floor..

One of my top 5 Nightwish songs after the big 3and Shoemaker. What makes this song so special is her ability to convey the emotion of the song. This is one of the more personal songs for Tuomas. It is the words of a boy who is loved by his family yet still feels misunderstood and can only communicate through his music. Tuomas has said this song was what he would want to say to the world if he were to pass.

You mentioned that you were glad that you reacted to Winterson, since you recognize the drummer. Well, the bass player from Winterson is Marco's replacement for the current Nightwish tour. You stated that you will be seeing Nightwish in October. I get to see them one week from tonight in Chicago. Looking forward to it.

Bisscute turns more and more into a true Metalhead. 😄 And her clothing looks like Goth and it fits her very good. 😍

This song is a masterpierce, so touching. And you do one of the best reactions to this performance that I watched!!! Floor, our Queen is especially magnificent this time.

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. ❤ ❤

Loved your reaction, thank you. Dear Ms. Bisquite, for me you are not wrong in in your interpretation. Same goes to a myriad of others who have worked to make sense of this song for themselves. You have hit the mark closer to mine in a long time. How the band sounds; what a warm and inviting tone. Emppu's solo was suitably shot and soulful, and the abrupt end for the latter part of the reading was very good strategically. And towards the end Floor pulled off a Till Lindemann move without batting an eye, aided by Marco. Then the crescendo part with the whole band and Floor is something to savor.

There she is, the Goddess is singing me to rest, the safety of a mother's lap, as a child I layed sleeping the sleep of the loved.

Hi Bisscute, Tuomas actually wrote this song to be his own eulogy. He's being the boy in this song, and this is his message he wants to tell the world after his own demise. That's why everybody is keeping such "a low profile", as you said. To support the meaning and bittersweet heaviness of this masterpiece. Loved your reaction, as always!

There now is a video of Floor singing a part of a phonebook on a Dutch radio show. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

The child is Tuomas. He's initially talking about why he loves playing live music Then he talks about himself for a bit, first why he's not important, only the lyrics are, and then we get one of my favorite lyrics from him. "Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew" A spark of hope. Then an appeal to aid that spark. And then the acknowledgment of the fans. "And you...I wish I didn't feel for you anymore" That's the body-blow of this song. The song is a song about writing music for the fans. Video is from the 'Decades' tour. I was at the opening show in Atlanta. I double-dog dare you to do 'Last Of The Wilds'! It's the only Nightwish song where the fans don't argue about who sang it better. ;P

If you really want to lose your lyrical mind, do 'The Poet And The Pendulum'. The reveal before 'Mother and Father' is raw Tuomas. I recorded a looping version of just the ending 'Mother and Father' section of that song that is about 9 loops. I'll sit in the driveway until they all play rather than turn it off. I'm gonna miss that man if/when the pendulum does get him.

Tuomas said once, this might be the best song i ever wrote!! might have been 2 albums ago now, but i think he still feel kind of the same, i think this is also one of Tuomas own favorites..

One of my all time favourite Nightwish performances. So stunningly beautiful with lyrics that touch so deep :) At 7:04 , Bisscute, you do something with your hands that is so symbolic of this beautiful moment with Emppu playing this guitar solo. It really reminds me of a dear friend of mine :) Amazing reaction!

OG with Tarja is just better version of this piece. IMO.

Definitely one of my favourite Nightwish songs. I love Tarja's version of it too.

Floor is a great story teller, btw she song the phonebook: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CLUr1DLwEQg.html epic

I think Floor sings better in this version than Tarja ever did. And I love Tarja in this song.

Yes, you are right with your interpretation of a song about the mental phase of Toumas - so it’s a sad song. Therefore Emppu is not smiling as always - also the other ones… one of their best songs (if this possible)… 👍🏆

Floor sang from the Yellow Pages. . Beautiful 😇😇😇😇

Bisscute....a lot of this song is dealing with a young boy feeling misunderstood by his parents. A lot of artists ( visual artists ) that I know, went through phases, when they were young, of feeling misunderstood, and lonely. I know, I felt that way for a long time. I just wanted to draw and paint...but so many other things got in the way. Sometimes I wished that I could just disappear into one of my drawings, and live inside this world I created on paper. I really think that the boy in the song wished the same thing...he wanted to disappear into his music, where he knew he could be happy. Even today, I still wonder what it would be like to live in the places I paint...because I feel so happy when I am being creative! Keep up the great work!!

1st of August,Nightwish performs at ROMEXPO.

Top 5 for me ....the outro is amazing 👏

Hello Bisscute, do you have recognized, that the slow Beat (after the guitar solo) and the crowd handclapping ist the answer of the Boys speach/ Hope? And do you have recognized, that the guitar solo of Empu ist mostly slow played and with a very clear melody?

Tuomas as is often the case echoes famous poets in his songs. Here he references Shakespear's Sonnet #71 which reads: "No longer mourn for me when I am dead Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell Give warning to the world that I am fled From this vile world with vilest worms to dwell: Nay, if you read this line, remember not The hand that writ it, for I love you so, That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot, If thinking on me then should make you woe.

Replacing Marko? It's not just finding a bass player of sufficient talent. It's also finding the vocal talent that has been lost. Also a good fit with rest of the band and specifically with Floor.

"I believe floor could sing me the writing in the back of a shampoo bottle". Actually, a few monthes ago, on a dutch radio, they asked her to sing the phone book. Here's how it went : ru-vid.comgmjIHx10g1U

Floor Jansen singing the phone book: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CLUr1DLwEQg.html

The swan, in Finnish mythology, carries you to the afterlife.

Bisscute has tickets, yay! Low key for a sad song, even Emppu kept sad, doing exactly the right amout of flair. (I think he is highly sensitive too, same as Tuomas and Floor, maybe they all are) Floor did actually sing from a phone book! Yes, it was just as great as we had hoped! :) Bumps, then it ramps up, Troy and Marco jamming. Floor starting low, gradually getting higher... An Ocean soul. Wintersun, Kai and Jukka, who has a deep voice.

Sin duda alguna está canción tiene lo suyo y Floor Jansen la hace aún más fantástica,pero nunca olvido que Tarja Turunen fue quien la hizo famosa y que en vivo fue y es la cantante que puso a llorar por primera vez a más de uno con su interpretación.

for this song I much prefer the original version with Tarja

You should listen to how Tarja Turunen sings it. No one will ever sing it like her.

She actually sang from a phone book on a radioshow and off course nailed it. It's on RU-vid, search for floor phone book

yep I think you're one of us now. You are now a member of the largest army in the world.

Tuomas makes it both sad and hopefull 🙂 That's how he reels us in! 😁

She sang from the phonebook on a tv-show so you are not wrong with the schampobottle

Biss ,do you see Floor at the Vox - TV Show : Sing meinen Song ? Every Thusday 20: 15 UHR ?

Hi, Bisscute - another commenter had this to offer: This is what the composer/keyboardist of Nightwish, Tuomas Holopainen, has said about this song: "This is the most personal song I’ve ever written. My testimony for the whole world. With this song I want to apologise everyone who deserves my apology. It also makes an “I don’t care” -statement to them who deserve it. The song is also about what Nightwish means and has meant to me. It’s all, without it I’m dead. I have created it and it has created me. When I pass away, this song’s lyrics are of what I wish to be remembered. An Ocean Soul".

10:30 "Is it the piano or the drums that boom boom things are ? " LOL 🤣

While she is ok for Nightwish, I think Tarja with this song is waaaay better.

I love watching Floor chasing Emppu around the stage lol.

Tuomas creates works of art in music, and with these outstanding musicians he has found the perfect people to realize and express those masterpieces. This is for me one of his best. Wünsch dir ein schönes Wochenende. 🙏🏻 _____________________ 「 _'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!'_ 」 --- from *BAND-MAID* 'Manners' 🕊️

Emppu ist so ein Scherzbold! Jedesmal wenn sie hier in Wacken waren, hat er backstage Sprüche gerissen mit so einem trockenen Humor, dass man sich nur wegschmeissen konnte.

Some people say Floor could sing the phone book and sound good , there's a video of her doing just that on some Dutch TV show a couple of weeks ago.

Pretty please react to Nightwish - Sahara, live in Tampa. It's soooooooo amazing

I loved your reaction. I also shed some tears.

Actually Floor sung from a telephonbook in a dutch TV show and it was wonderful :-)

A7x Seize the Day 🤗🤭

This is what I love about metal its what it does to your body

Floor can sing the Berlin- Telephonebook and i become Goosbombs

One thing someone pointed out on another reaction to this song that I thought was pretty poignant….Emppu’s guitar solo…the expression on his face when he finishes…not his usual smiling, happy visage. Maybe that demonstrates the power of this song….it even got to him. Marko's instrument is called "The Beast". The top neck is a 4 string bass guitar, and the bottom one is a 6 string electric guitar. For Tuomas himself this song means a lot. He has said that this is the “mother of all Nightwish songs, about himself and how he wants people to remember him as when he passes away. He said ”This is the most personal song I’ve ever written. My testimony for the whole world. With this song I want to apologize everyone who deserves my apology. It also makes an “I don’t care” -statement to them who deserve it. The song is also about what Nightwish means and has meant to me. It’s all, without it I’m dead. I have created it and it has created me. When I pass away, this song’s lyrics are of what I wish to be remembered. An Ocean Soul.” NWSU 🤘😎🤘.

The new (session) Bassist is Jukka from Wintersun so 2 members are from that band

🤗🍒👍🏻😘nice to have you back

Not to make you sad, but the truth must be said: it is highly improbable that you will see them, if you say the concert is in October. They will lock everything down again.

This is one of my favorite Nightwish songs ! They are so talented and i like every song i have heard from them =) Thanks Bisscute btw could you play more Band-Maid "Real Existence" Live Please ✌🤘👍👍

Amazing amazing reaction. I feel exactly the way you described it... all the time... and all over again and again and again. Hugs from Romania ! Where r u from btw, your accent is very atipical ?! :) Hugs !

Bisscute, did you watch the Show Sing meinen Song on VOX? What did you think about Floor's Performance?

another cover singer reaction.. being part of promotion gives you unsubscribes, hon.-

End of innocence documentary reveals some Nightwish history.

please react ONE OK ROCK "clocks strikes live yokohama stadium thanks

Great reaction and yes, all songs start in the mind of Tuomas, he is the songwriter, the dead boy, the ocean soul and the poet.

Anything from the Islander Arms concert will be without Marco.

Floor did a Song reading from a Phonebook @BIscute

Nice, try the original Biss, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NhAO5a9q6sQ.html . I grew up with Nightwish in a way, and Floor is just the tip, Nightwish actually do the old songs with Floor, If I was her, I would never accept that, but she loves the songs too much, and performs them amazing, 11/10. Love the amazone. But without Traja and the guys getting together, they both have been failures. Now things are different, but fans never forget the beginnings, and the joy.

I'm also seeing them in October, same city as in the video ;) Marko got replaced by Jukka from Wintersun so I believe you already know him ^^

Emppu is also a marshall arts medalist.

Sorry, I couldn't watch the video the whole way through, too many pauses for me. This isn't a criticism just a personal issue

Hey Miss Biss system of the down is an amazing band your reaction is spot on your so sweet so with that you should react to sugar you won't be disappointed and all of biss nation you totally Rock.❤❤😮😮😢🎉

I tinkiä you maybe like nightwish devil and the deep dark ocean and elvenij elvenpath live Buenos aires:)

It is ok. Music is supposed to trigger emotions so let them flow and enjoy beautifull art.

yes this is my favorite song.

👌👌👌👌

I highly recommend listening to the studio version with lyrics, it is far more complete experience. This song is a bit too challenging to convey its full impact when performed live, also Floor's voice isn't a pefect match for this one, she is too powerful at times This song is about Tuomas saying goodbye to his naive dreamer inner child and attempt to abandon his unrequited love to idolized/fantasized version of Tarja (not the actual person, but the childish fantasy of her)

Its so nice to see when reaction is so full of emotion and you are so honest person. This song is one of my long time favorite , and Nymphomaniac Fantasia.. You should make reaction of that song.. Im pretty sure you like it..

Floor did a Dutch Phone Book at a radio-gig in the Netherlands : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CLUr1DLwEQg.html She sings an Advert for a pest-control firm, then some names and ends with another ad.

Adore you, you gorgeous little angel with your beautiful soul

Народ! У кто-нибудь пользовался ударной отвёрткой? Как в работе? Стоит брать?

If you want too hear Floor sing the phone book: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gmjIHx10g1U.html 😊

Have you hear Ayreon "The Day That The World Breaks Down" its a realy great song

This time you cut it a lot. I see your previous reactions by little talking and more listening and emotion. Thank you

Biss , see the compte Show at the Wacken Open Air from 2013
