NIGHTWISH - The Islander - (Tampere 2015) - 1st Time Reaction ft. Fiancé!!! WE ARE ISLANDERS!!! 

If Floor Jansen is your backup singer, you ARE a BADASS! Troy on low whistle here. Alanna gets it.

Really special moment for Marko. Alone with a big home crowd and of course he is as charismatic, passionate and skilled as ever. Absolutely incredible artist.

Missing subtitles: "So if I play the chorus you'll probably sign along? You will? So let's do it."

That's how it should be - music should connect people.That's why I love live concerts.

Slowly but surely, everybody develops a man crush on Marko.

The Weasles cameback .....wifey was really feeling that .

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say....she liked it. You guys are doing a great job!

Tuomas is the master of emotion; i know of no other composer who can get at your heartstrings like he can. of course he does have the best band you could ever wish for.

You have to listen to "While Your Lips Are Still Red" from Wembley 2015 for something of the same kind of vibe. It's a ballad that featured in a Finnish romcom, lead by Marko, backing by Floor and Troy on the e-bow.

Troy is playing a tin whistle here. Once a journalist asked him what he can't play... The answer was: "Ice Hockey!"🤣🤣🤣 Greetings! 👋🇮🇹🖖

I understand why he put that ring on her finger, what a sweet and beautiful woman! Edit: wrote but instead of put and then laughed at that for a minute.

Guys, as Floor sang in her song Bridle Passion, she closed it with the words; but stay close to whom you really are....Greetings from abroad.

Troy plays a low whistle and Marko's instrument is called "The Beast". The upper neck has a 4-string bass guitar and the lower has a 6-string electric guitar, that is Framus & Warwick Infinity / Panthera Double neck Bass and Guitar Handcrafted for Marco Hietala. Floor steps back out of the spotlight during a lot of songs. Guitar solos, Marko singing, Troy playing the pipes, whatever it is, Floor steps back from the mic out of the spotlight, while the others have their moment. Floor is a team player. She has said on multiple occasions that Tuomas makes Nightwish run, not her. So... Viking sings and the Valkyrie Goddess singing backup.... PERFECT Song !!!! NWSU 🤘😎🤘

Unsubtitled bit . He asked themif they would sing the chorus with him . Try High Hopes (Helsinki) and Kiss While Your Lips are Still Red (Wembley)

Check out “ while your lips are still red” for some Marco awesomeness

When you said you grew up in a house of Newfies, that sealed the deal! Sub'd. Once you said you were actual islanders, it surprised me that one or both of you didn't break down in tears on this one! Many have. That includes me.

Marko is a Warwick endorser, they own Framus too; Warwick is a German firm and they make basses, the Framus name is for regular guitars. That's a seriously heavy and very seriously expensive Warwick/Framus Infinity/Panthera, custom shop special order only, start about 14K USD. Now you know, I think you can see the W on the bass headstock and Framus is written on the other.

When you go for Poets And The Pendulum, bring the tissues! I repeat: BRING THE TISSUES! 😅 And yes, it's amazing what Nightwish can do to us! I feel it opened the whole new world to me 👍😍 I recommend you to check out also Poets Of The Fall, I think your fiance woul like them 😊

lyrics An old man by a seashore At the end of day Gazes the horizon With sea winds in his face Tempest-tossed island Seasons all the same Anchorage unpainted And a ship without a name Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world Showing the way, lighting hope in their hearts The ones on their travels homeward from afar This is for long-forgotten Light at the end of the world Horizon crying The tears he left behind long ago The albatross is flying Making him daydream The time before he became One of the world's unseen Princess in the tower Children in the fields Life gave him it all An island of the universe, oh Now his love's a memory A ghost in the fog He sets the sails one last time Saying farewell to the world Anchor to the water Seabed far below Grass still in his feet And a smile beneath his brow This is for long-forgotten Light at the end of the world Horizon crying The tears he left behind long ago So long ago So long ago This is for long-forgotten Light at the end of the world Horizon crying The tears he left behind so long ago So long ago

If you like sea shanties you might like Auri - Pearl Diving, from a side band of Tuomas and his wife Johanna along with Troy. Her voice is absolutely lovely

Goddamnit Nightwish is making me cry again

Loved your reaction. It's a beautiful song. Marko really shines through it and having Floor as a backing singer is the icing on the cake. Troy is playing the Low Whistle.

Nightwishalisciousness!

Welcome to Nightwish fellow Canadians... Great review.. i love it when the emotions carry someone away. Its a beautiful thing, and the music of Nightwish does that often to me too.. cheers. take care

❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

Nightwish are on a whole other level as musicians, as you will see the further down the Nightwish rabbit hole you get, and oh it is so worth it. Have been a fan on and off for nearly 20yrs. Nightwish soothes my soul, I also binge listen to anything Marko does (now he's sadly left) and also Floor's solo stuff. Check out Beste Zangers with Floor, it's a Dutch tv show she did back in 2019, you'll be blown away I promise 😁

floor y marko compatibilizan de una manera bestial.

What a lovely couple and what a band you've founded,, you have long journey with them, i'm watch several your Nw reactions..just love it how you feeling deep.. hellou from finland surprice.

Hello from Mount Pearl Newfoundland.

Always chills when the others come in and with Floor and Marko’s harmonies ❣️ You are both so sweet, keep up the Floor/Nightwish reactions please.

Wow, 8:42 "and guide us.." 👍 From the lyrics: "He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts The ones on their travels homeward from afar" Nightwish is food for ocean souls and islanders. Can relate since my family's from a well-known Dutch island (Texel) and ultimately vikings from arctic Norway. And 3 cheers for bringing Alanna! I remember you saying when I asked that she (rightfully) picks & chooses when to join, to which I answered somewhat tongue in cheek: "Then I humbly recommend her to pick that one, but if she chooses not to, that's totally fine", haha. Glad she picked this great sea shanty! After having seen your heartfelt reactions to this one, I now know for a fact that both of you will be mesmerized by Zora & her BlackBriar boys with "Arms of the Ocean". Cheers from Amsterdam! 🌷

Beautiful done, enjoy it very much.

Hello from Winterpeg! I'm hardly an Islander, but this band does nothing but amaze me with their versatility. Romanticide? Rockin'. Ghost Love Score? WOW (and also rockin'). The Islander? We can do ANYTHING and still be Nightwish. Loved your reaction.

Watching Alanna close her eyes and drift away (pun intended) filled my own eyes with tears. Music affects us all in different ways, and I gravitate towards Celtic themes more than anything. I have only been a fan myself for just over four years, so I have been able to witness the evolution of the band retrospectively. For me, the addition of Troy (Donockley) has been far more influential on the direction of the bands' music, than any other single factor. Floor makes all the difference of course, but musically, Tuomas (in my opinion) now composes songs which really seems to resonate with me at soul level. Take care you two - your English Cousin.

marko is so talented and an amazing musician love this song to bits

The second spoken part roughly translates to "If I play the chorus, you're gonna sing along, right?" - "Yeah!" - "Are you sure?" - "Yeah!" - "Ok, let's do it" Troy is playing his Irish Low Whistle. Marko's double neck, 'The Beast' is a custom Warwick Bass and Framus guitar combo (both brand names are owned by the same company). I think it's Piezo pickup that give the guitar neck that sound. Marko had this piece of music left from his Tarot days, it didn't quite fit with them. I think Tuomas heard him playing it one day and thought that would make a good song. They finished the music and Tuomas wrote the lyrics, and it was included on the Dark Passion Play album, their 6th and first with Anette. Sea Shanty is a good description. It's about a lonely Lighthouse keeper. Some fans will joke that Marko has a t-shirt( or should get one) that says 'Floor is my backup singer'

Marco"Floor is my backup singer" Hietala strikes again. 😂

Troy was playing the Low Whistle

Marko had a Very rare tshirt that said Floor Jansen is my Backup Singer lol

The "no subtitle" part was Marko asking crowd "So if I will sing this song, you will sing along?", to which crowd answered yes, he asked "You will?" and then continued. Well, my Finnish has gotten tad rusty over years, too little practice lately but that was the gist.

Alanna, I was feeling it right along with you too. This song has always had that effect on me. This live performance especially. I'm not an islander but grew up on the coast. Maybe that's why this song more than other Nightwish songs gets me haha. Thanks for your reaction to this. ❤🙏☮

Canada represent 😎 cheers

I love your reaction at the end. In the first few NW reactions you angled for heavier songs. Now you can appreciate a ballad, kudos for you!! ❤️

🇬🇧 Norfolk reporting for duty strapped in and ready to go

Gee, y'all seemed to enjoy that a bit. Troy's playing a whistle. Low whistle. he has them in various sizes and keys. In the Bogota version of Elvenjig, he takes his seat gets the Uillean set around himself ready to play, looks at his stand of whistles, then has to have someone get him the correct one. In "Please Learn The Set-list In 48 Hours" he goes to go out to the stage for the show and "I forgot me pipes!" Seems to be a theme for him (~_^)

The Nightweasels returned! LOL Nice reaction guys!

Marco had a pretty good back-up singer😉

Hello thanks for your reaction, there is also a video about this song, it is a video with Anette in it, very, very nice. Maybe another time. Bye

Watch "Creek Mary's Blood" live with John Two Hawks by Nightwish. The 1st Nation flute is powerful. you both will love it. POWERFUL

If your fiancé loves sea shanties then she should react to Home Free - Sea Shanty Medley. But it’s possible that she knows this video already.

I Love Floor clapping for Marco

You should do Dead Boy's Poem then... I *think* she'll enjoy A LOT!

Beauty reaction...This song is write for Marco..is beautiful song...the band is brothers amazing persons ...Marco is a legend ..powerful voice

So good you two

You two are wonderful! Great reaction. Thank You!

Welcome to the show Alanna! You will hear much more Celtic folk vibes from Nightwish, featuring Troy of Ulleann pipes, Low whistles, and other traditional Celtic folk instruments.

Such a beautiful song that really show's Marko's softer side. Another great song that shows his vulnerable side and has great backing vocals from Floor is While Your Lips are Still Red, live from Wembley. There is also a music video with Annette doing the backing vocals with video clips from the Finish movies the song was written for. Wembley is better because I don't think the movie clips really reflect the meaning of the song which IMHO comes through better in the live performance. Also a really adorable video is of Marko singing Black Sabbath's Planet Caravan as a lullaby to Jukka's newborn child. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--XBZutbxSf4.html

Troy on his low whistle

now watch the original video with Anette Olsen

At 2:14 - 2:18 , you can see Marko's younger brother in the crowd. 🤪

Yes please....both of you, continue to see/react to this experience of, not only a band, but a journey into the mind of a Mozart in Tuomas, the keyboardist and song choreographer mostly all that is Nightwish. :) Welcome, to Nightwish. :) Here is my list for you......but first..... Floor Jansen (pronounced Yansen) who is actually Dutch and the 3rd of the bands lead singers. By the way....she is 6'1" and known as the Valkyrie Goddess. Marco - Bass and vocals (wait until you hear him sing with Floor and solo....) This band is going to rock your world dude. Emppu - Lead guitar (jokester and very deliberative in his playing) Jukka on drums, but had to stop due to insomnia (but is still behind the scenes with Nightwish), new drummer is Kai who was the drummer with Wintersun. Tuomas - keyboards and main songwriter/choreographer for Nightwish aka genius. :) And Troy, who you will see trust me, as he is vocals/flute/woodwind/bagpipes/you name it lol. :) Here's just a few Nightwish live songs for you to choose from....

🤗🍒👍🏻

Quite frankly, if you are not moved by Nightwish performances, there's summat amiss, imo! ;-) The instrument Troy plays is called a Low Whistle. It's one of many instruments the musical bard plays.

Great reactions. I feel you really enjoyed it!

You guys rock, keep going. Greetings from Namibia..!!

Enjoying your reactions. Especially Alana’s! She feels it!

I think that Marcos backing singer has some potential. A beautiful song, beautifully performed with a beautiful reaction to compliment it. Thanks to you both 👍😊🙏

In the part without subtitles Marco is inviting audience to sing along if they know the words. I don't speak Finnish but cool to hear how it sounds "in the wild"

🤩👌💥💯 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙 More Marko's double neck/"The beast" and powerful lyricism executed by both of them from the same gig Tampere 2015 : "Weak Fantasy"

1:59 Marko: If I play the chorus, you sing along, right Crowd: YEEES Marko: You will Crowd: YEEES Marko: Then we do it

While your lips are still red from Wembley. She’ll love it, I’m sure.

Troy was playing a low whistle…similar to a tin whistle, but larger and lower in tone.

If you got Floor as a backup singer you gotta be quite good..?

Could you checkout HammerFall again? (We Make) Sweden Rock, Its a Tribute song to all the Swedish rock and metal bands all the way to the 60s to now basically

I'm ashamed to say that literally the only thing I know about Newfoundlanders is an offensive joke from the 1970s about how you break a Newfie's fingers, and I only know that because it was used to show how cultural context is vital to humour. Aanyway, this has an amazing music video which you should watch, though it doesn't have the emotional impact of the live show.

So, you're from The Rock!!!

For some mellow ones that might bring on the ugly 😭, While your lips are still red. , Dead Boys Poem and an early one with Annette and Marco, it’s a fan animated video - The Crow,the Owl, and the Dove ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iyY5QMf41dk.html
