R.I.P Ann Waychoff moeder van het Nightwish Army. 28 juni 2020 . Ann was een grote Nightwish Fan. En elke nieuwe persoon die naar NW luisterde, maakte een praatje. En gaf ze wat info over NW. Dit was haar favoriete nummer. En dit lied is van haar. Ik vind het erg leuk dat Gabriel ann's werk heeft voortgezet.... haar erfgoed is er dus nog steeds.
This song has it all....plus more! On the album version there is a multiple-voiced spoken word poem. Nightwish Army, Palm Springs, CA, USA paying my respects to Ann W. Blessings to you all...
Hi, this is a wonderful song. It was inspired by Tuomas Holopainen's favourite poet Walt Whitman and his famous poem called 'Song Of Myself'. The song includes a six-minute recitation of a poem of which Tuomas said: "I wanted to pay homage to Walt Whitman and do the lyrics in a way that he would possibly write. It's a real, open, thorough, personal catharsis - especially the spoken-word part." It's a pity you didn't get to listen to the spoken part. It wasn't part of the live performance (for obvious reasons), but it's worth a listen. It's edgy, but it’s also beautiful. If you want to hear it, here's the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RzxRHF50sMc.html
Ha, ha, great reaction GT, I love it you can be totally yourself and let rip in front of the webcam and this is your genius sir! Very entertaining watching you and a great song obviously - watching you enjoying this gem made my night, great fun! Being new to Nightwish I'm only just discovering their talent, and as you said it has everything! For me its their timing that's class, they dont feel they need to fill every gap with something and this adds drama, tension and surprise to an already powerful and operatic musical performance! These guys should be more well known!! Bravo!
It is based on a poem in 52 chapters by Walt Whitman (USA 1855). There is a extended studio version of this song with a poem as a tribute to Whitman made by Tuomas, the keyboard player and the mastermind of nightwish. These lines you also can see fast flahing on the ledscreen of this video. Bucle up, it goes very deap. " I see a slow, simple youngster by a busy street With a begging bowl in his shaking hand Trying to smile but hurting infinitely Nobody notices I do, but walk by An old man gets naked and kisses a model-doll in his attic It's half-light and he's in tears When he finally comes his eyes are cascading I see a beaten dog in a pungent alley He tries to bite me All pride has left his wild drooling eyes I wish I had my leg to spare A mother visits her son, Smiles to him through the bars She's never loved him more An obese girl enters an elevator with me All dressed up fancy A green butterfly on her neck Terribly sweet perfume deafens me She's going to dinner alone That makes her even more beautiful I see a model's face on a brick wall A statue of porcelain perfection beside a violent city kill A city that worships flesh The first thing I ever heard Was a wandering man telling his story It was you, the grass under my bare feet The campfire in the dead of the night The heavenly black of sky and sea It was us Roaming the rainy roads Combing the gilded beaches Waking up to a new gallery of wonders every morn Bathing in places no-one's seen before Shipwrecked on some matt-painted island Clad in nothing but the surf Beauty's finest robe Beyond all mortality we are Swinging in the breath of nature In early air of the dawn of life A sight to silence the heavens I want to travel where life travels Following its permanent lead Where the air tastes like snow music Where grass smells like fresh-born Eden I would pass no man, no stranger, no tragedy or rapture I would bathe in a world of sensation Love, Goodness, and Simplicity (While violated and imprisoned by technology) The thought of my family's graves was the only moment I used to experience true love That love remains infinite As I'll never be the man my father is How can you "just be yourself" When you don't know who you are? Stop saying "I know how you feel" How could anyone know how another feels? Who am I to judge a priest, beggar, whore, politician, wrongdoer? I am, you are, all of them already Dear child, stop working, go play Forget every rule There's no fear in a dream "Is there a village inside this snowflake?" A child asked me "What's the color of our lullaby?" I've never been so close to truth as then I touched its silver lining Death is the winner in any war Nothing noble in dying for your religion For your country For ideology, for faith For another man, yes Paper is dead without words Ink idle without a poem All the world dead without stories Without love and disarming beauty Careless realism costs souls Ever seen the Lord smile? All the care for the world made Beautiful a sad man? Why do we still carry a device of torture around our necks? Oh, how rotten your pre-apocalypse is All you bible-black fools living over nightmare ground I see all those empty cradles and wonder If man will ever change I, too, wish to be a decent manboy But all I am Is smoke and mirrors Still given everything, may I be deservin And there forever remains That change from G to E minor. "
Great reaction from you - BUT!!!!! 'by now we know the capacity of Floor's voice......... " Let's just say that you have experienced around 25 - 30% at most - and just leave it there 😉 And Floor is still evolving - she is an incredible performer, artist and also inventing new techniques in singing. We are so lucky to experience this - Troy calls her voice for Stratospheric and Floor for being a powerhouse - and he knows her pretty well - he is right, simple as that.
hey ABBAMAN... this group is unlike any i have heard before. you never know what is around the corner both musically and vocally which makes them very interesting. everytime i hear them
Fridonculously cool!!! Holy Testical Thursday!! Ha... You're inventing a whole new language... And unearthing my hidden heavy metal feelings... Operatic undertones...an epic build up...I'm discovering a whole new world thanks to you...I'm eagerly anticipating the release of the new Sabaton album now..I've been grabbed by the testicles...and you won't let go... Respect... Loving the beard btw 👍
@@GivenToe Holy freakin Friday!!! Just listened to the Sabaton album in full:The War to End all Wars...Frickin fridonculous!! You've got me talking your language now 😂🤣
Great reaction to this one 🤘 Know what you mean by mensioning the lack of build up in Floor's voice. By all means, check out 'Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean' and perhaps 'Slaying the Dreamer' from the Buenos Aires concert. That'll get you pumped, promise 🤞 Keep it up! Greetz from the Netherlands 🤘🤘🤘
If you wanna hear something completely different, watch Nightwish's 6th member (Troy Donockley) with *_"My Walden"_* : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J8Xwr1kTEdk.html&ab_channel=Nightwish (live in Tampere Finland (with subs).

Fredoncoulaslly ? That's a new word David?? 😁Exactly!! There are no words "epic" enough to use re. Nightwish. When you have musicians that are individually accomplished and put them together....this is the " fredoncoulass" result! ( Hope l spelt that correctly?) 🤣 Floor is, well...Floor! and Marko is the icing on the bueatiful cake....yummm!! Thanx David...Good to see you again...Take care! 🤗
Thanks to you Given, I am officially a fan of Nightwish. It started with your reaction to Ghost Love Score, I was hooked. Great reaction. By the way, you have the best reaction videos. I cannot watch any other reaction videos anymore. Thanks as always!! 👍
Now imagine that EVERY song in this concert was written for another singers voice in mind. Floor came in , and in just 10 months, she owned them. Best live band I have ever heard.
This is my No 2 . Stunning. I love the description of depression: "sometimes the within is piano black". Not just black. Some very complex rhythms going on here. Marco's entry for the second time is my ringtone 😀 And I learned a new word: Fredonculously 😀 BTW Buenos Aires concert is as good.
Hej David I’ve wached a few vids now with this artist as mentioned previously I’m not into rock but I do appreciate this vocalist as she has power and a uniquely beautiful voice Yes again you give it laldie with your pumping reactions 🙌
This song has been and still is my favorite NW song. That's saying a lot considering how many epic songs they've done. Another I think you will like a lot is "Tribal" from their 2020 Human Nature album. It's not live, but it's special.
R.I.P Ann Waychoff mother of the Nightwish Army. June 28th, 2020 This is your song. If you ever have to explain the Groove in Metal to someone - play this tune. Until the Breakdown hits you with a 10 ton hammer it is all fun and games. But then the slow chugging monster with the machine gun riffing takes over. And for every Metal Head this lights up the day. Awesome….Imho one of the best songs ever. Sometimes the sky is piano black…. Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries and Stonehenge, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !
My professional opinion of all this metal stuff. All metal bands do their shit and are good at what they do, but Nightwish with Floor are on a different level. All other bands are in the basement, and Nightwish is in the Penthouse. My personal opinion. I want to add, I don't know if Nightwish will be able to stay in the Penthouse, now that Marko has left. Time will tell.
This song is for You Ann (mother of Nightwish Army) R.I.P 🤘😔🤘 Your flame and passion lives on in Us 🤘🔥🤘. Ann Waychoff was known by many as the Nightwish Mom. She would give comments to people who reacted to Nightwish videos to try and help the reactors understand and she would tirelessly exchange comments with people who wanted to know more. She also communicated privately with a large number of fans and reactors (we know now from the tributes.). ru-vid.com?search_query=ann+waychoff will show how many knew her and how many liked her enough to spend hours making videos about her/dedicated to her. For me this song has some serious Pantera vibes 🤘🔥🤘. Pure fire and great song!!! NWSU .
🤩👍💥💯 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙 "Silent symphony" WTH you said??? "There's some Metallica right there"????? 😮 Totally different genre and this genre is called Nightwish duuuuuuddd!!!!! ✌️😆
Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan? The band is call "Lovebites" They all The Beautiful Queens heavy metal band right now in the earth. They are really really World class musicians. Phenomenal. And they have a lot diehard fans like me😁. The fans called Wolfpack. The song is "Set the world on fire" Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Big thanks🙏
Hello there! Lovebites will make its first appearence here very soon with the song ”Holy War”. After that I will keep doing new vids with them. If you have a specific request, go over to my Patreon page at www.patreon.com/giventoe 😁🤘🏻🔥
Fun review! Kudos. IMHO; Floor Jansen would have been a great theatrical (movie, too) actress in a parallel reality universe...her performances, particularly the Wacken 2013, have served as a great character study & development for the sexy and cunning Alpha female villain antagonist for a post-Apocalypse adventure TV series were are working on in the early phases from Venezuela....Nighwish army fans please note....i hope they will be well pleased... In addition, "Song of Myself" would combine very well with some dramatic action sequences in the plot.
@@GivenToe We are really excited about the project's prospect making it all the way to Netflix or Amazon Prime, etc. The challenge is casting for a worthy Latina female actress based loosely on Floor's on-stage Alpha female warrior persona...
Jag vet inte om du fattat Floors storhet , Hon Har deep Growlings och operatic voices and all between ALL , She even sung from the phonebook in a Dutch TV show , Hon är fantastik . Hej från nwse Sverige
