Nightwish - Yours Is An Empty Hope (Live at Wembley 2015) REACTION! 

Sadly whoever transcribed those lyrics were WAY off, lol. From the album booklet: Tear me to bits, enjoy the scene Of screen name verbal vanity Churning the words imbued in filth Your tongue oily water under my bridge You have the world, it's all for you I wish you'd find the lost in you Grateful for the pain, it proves we're alive Can you feel it? I can't make you want the truth It's up to you [Chorus] Yours is an empty hope Yours is an empty hope Feed me to pigs in your fantasies Your sea roars bitter elegies Like Narcissus, who bribes the pool A hollow voice, ruin with a roof * Stop! Life is now, still all for you Turn from the hate, turn from the smoke I see the parchment of your soul The notes, the song Join your voice I can let you have the world It's all for you [Chorus] [Bridge] {not listed in album lyrics} YOURS! IS! A(N)!... EMPTY HOPE! YOURS! IS! A(N)!... ??? ["Giant low"???/ ''Join in now!''???/ ???] I can let you have the world It's all for you [Chorus] x2 * apparently a reference to the Greek myth of Narcissus & Echo ("hollow voice")

There is no Team Tarja or Team Floor. There is one: Team Nightwish

Did you realize that FLOOR is the one that makes GROWLING behind MARKO?

"why you crying you're supposed to be angry" lmao I'm ded

If it helps you to know, Tuomas, Marco, and Tarja are over it. Tuomas has said that he is more than passed that time in his life, but he is rather stuck with it, because there is the music behind it, which will live longer than him; but for the emotional aspect of it, he's well passed it. Marko and Tarja are friends again, just as Flor and Tarja are friends. Both even went out as far to wish each other happy birthdays. Marko has done the same for Annette as well, let alone congratulating her on passing her certification exams. Now in addition to being a musician, she's a fully registered nurse. And even when it comes to business, Tuomas and Tarja are at least cordial. From what I've heard about business issues, they are cordial on things. We've even seen the band re-release Phantom of the Opera from End of an Era on their official channel, so that says a lot about where they are. So in all honesty, the ones that need to get over all of that mess from 16 years ago, are the fans that keep bringing it up. They'll come to realize that life is too short to keep up the pettiness.

Floor sings the way, she wants to sing. Not how you want her to sing. She never copies Tarja or Annette and she always makes it her own. Most reactors think Marko is growling and not Floor so they camouflaged it. The Viking sings and the Goddess growls. Hail Nightwish

Yes. That was Floor growling.

15:28 Master Passion Greed from Dark Passion Play is the angriest song Nightwish has ever done or will ever do.

I have to say that i appreciate wolfcain a whole lot, becouse of hes reserch on the meanings of the songs that they are reviewing.

Floor is the only one who can do anything with her voice and that's it.

Thats is so cool that Kai mentioned you! You totally deserve it! One of the best reaction channels for sure!

I completely understand and appreciate Wolfkain having difficulties due to his attachment to Tarja. It’s evidently interfering with appreciation of Floor and her incredible range of colors, octaves and storytelling inherent to every performance. He has openly stated that she is talented but often in an offhand or even dismissive manner. I submit that he was inadvertently pleading with himself to better handle Tarjas departure but presenting it as an appeal to everyone else. His research rich response to “Greatest Show” was extraordinary and his skills are deeply appreciated by me in most every video but I cannot feel good about being told to let it go as if we are all in an uproar in the same manner which he found himself caught up in. Recalling the end of “Dead Boys Poem” where Floors *regular* voice harmed the song because it wasn’t done in Tarja style. Floor makes songs her own in very creative ways and is gifted in that endeavor. Apologies to all Tarja fans but she is somewhat short in both range and storytelling when juxtaposed with Floor. Variety and emotion are Floors trademark and the two singers diverge on those points. I can easily enjoy both as separate performers but never judge Tarja as needing to sing in Floors style. I note differences yes, we all do. Apologies but the presentation of “you all stop this” is difficult to dismiss and accept freely without making this statement in return. Especially when the first sentence at the end is, in effect “Tarja might have difficulty with this song”. Let’s actually appreciate what’s in front of us, stunning performances by all.

First thing Kai giving you a shout-out was cool. Next thing this song is just delicious and dark full of fire and darkness. Floor's growls are just powerful and prove she can do everything.

I'd love to see Nightwish on a sold out Wembley stadium. And regarding the singers, I don't say one is better than the other. They're different. Tarja is the operadiva, Anette is the poprocker, Floor is the diverse one that can do whatever Tuomas can dream up. Floor did a lot of growling in After Forever and ReVamp.

Imagine if Nightwish pulled a "Helloween". The 3 singers all together in one stage. I almost died of happiness seeing that. Nightwish would kill me for sure =)

Still love you two,... 🥰 👍 Yes Nightwish cares about its past. For example, when the band released their Decades collection in 2018, they could have sung on the Floor all the past songs for the Decades collection. Instead, they published songs sung by Tarja and Anette with an interpretation by the original performers. This is Nightwih directly to the heart. This is so full of feeling for the fans that it is impossible to resist experiencing an emotional storm ... greetings from Finland 👍 🇫🇮

Thank you guys.....It is like beating a brick wall trying to get the fact that ALL THE SINGERS have brought amazing things to the band. Love this commentary thanks.

This song was written for Floor. You should do Revamp's Disdain or Wildcard for more of Floor growling

Floor's Growls on this song are straight fire. Those last ones give me chills each and every time! What a powerful vocalist. I have a request from the Annette era though. Turn loose the Mermaids. That song fits her vocal style perfectly!

We have the live albums to show how Floor rejuvenated old songs and made them her own.

Thank you for Finlands national anthem! Our independes Day is 6.12.2020.❤️🇫🇮

Try Floor's own band Revamp to hear her sing operatic, clean rock and growl in the same song.

The evolution of their sound across all three singers, but yet still retaining that signature flavor is one of the things I like about them.

I always enjoy your reactions. Any positive recognition either of you receive is deserved. Also something I like about Floor is that when she sings, her skill is so amazing and her voice so beautiful and powerful that I often forget that she’s also pretty.

Floor and growling. A good combination. Visit Floor in her old band Revamp and listen to Disdain and The Trial of Monsters. Floor on the heavy tour. I like it.

Master passion greed is a go to song If ya want to hear what Tuomas ”sounds” like when he is madly pissed off!

I was at this gig back in 2015. It is probably the most electric atmosphere I've EVER experienced at any concert. Absolutely brilliant. Even now...whenever i watch the live DVD of the show...it brings all those feelings and emotions i felt that night rushing back

For a love song you should try: "Nightwish - Kiss While your lips are still red" also live at Wembly, absolutely beautiful with Troy on Guitar (with ebow)

I'd say Slaying the dreamer is a pretty angry song when it comes to Nightwish. The main riffs even sound similar.

Just to be sure, you got it that it was Floor who did the growls, right? About High Hopes: Tuomas didn't refer to it as a cover but as a tribute to Pink Floyd.

I believe he is talking about haters online and in media, Nightwish will do what they want.

Thank you guys so much for your wonderful coverage, insight and introduction to this wonderful group... I now love and respect all eras of the group and love and appreciate the different vocal styles of the female leads equally....

Great you two......I have an equal measure of joy watching both Nightwish reactions and your reactions. Passionate, insightful, and highly amusing...thanks. Cannot wait for High Hopes

Greetings from Finland!!! You are the best! Love to watch your reactions on Nightwish! :)

I'm glad that you finaly saw Kai mentioning your channel , i only commented a "few" times , asking you guys to check it out 🤘. i'm glad you liked it ...

I saw Nightwish the first time when it was a local band nobody knew. I'm that old. 😂 I've seen all the different eras, I feel like I've grown alongside them. And totally love the current situation. No hate, just love.

The old Nightwish Fans are like the old ACDC Fans. Brain Johnson was al the Years the new Singer.

Just recently found you two through these NW reactions but damn I must say that this setup with the greenscreen and all you have in this video is so cool!

I watched Sonny's interview with Kai! It was great and I was also excited that you got mentioned. Nice recognition for one of the better channels out there ^^

Loved your reaction, been waiting too long! And looking forward to High Hopes - better have the tissues ready, BTW :). Love, warm regards, Wim

Love all your Reactions ❤ - in particular, the 🎶 NIGHTWISH ones 😉

I love watching these two react to Nightwish. And their appreciation for everything this band executes to perfection.

14:35 yes that is Floor you are hearing bro

Loved the reaction as always, but I wanted to give you a special shout-out for using--and linking--the instrumental-only version of this song. Many years ago I bought the version of Dark Passion Play that had the extra instrumental versions of those songs and treasured it, but it never occurred to me that the same thing would be available for this album. Went to Amazon and bought it instantly.

Every time I see a reaction from you two something happens between you 'half lifesistha' chemistry between you is fantastic and your reactions are great in content and often put your finger on exactly what and where something is happening 'Nigthwisch is a great experience and a fantastic bond and certainly with no one who can produce something so natural 'the chemistry at the moment' this period is so great and epic that it explodes off the screen as one being' Floor and Annete 'Tarja are / you can't compare. But what Flöor exceptional talents does that say enough of anyone who listens to even 1 song becomes or is like foxwild of the band 'that your wife feels the music and vocals through every millimeter in her is so unique because the same happens to 99% 'that's what makes this band so special. Such things happen but rare that it falls together like this. I love seeing you together enjoying and amazed sounds' every time. Have a good and happy life together and enjoy Nigthwisch and each other. greetings from the Dutch🥰🥰👍👍💙💙❤❤

I so understand Wolfkain’s opinion about the singers of Nightwish. For me it is the same with Deep Purple. I grew up with the music of Deep Purple (amongst others) in the Mark II ‘configuration’ with Ian, Ian, Ritchie, Jon and Roger. And I was so used to that sound that is was hard to listen to another vocalist or another guitarist, but every change brought new perspectives and new sounds. In fact it enriches the music.......... It is the same with Tarja, Annette and Floor. I first listened to Nightwish around 2008, looking for similar music as Within Temptation. And that was Nightwish with Annette. I loved the albums she sang on. Started listening to older albums with Tarja. At first I wasn’t that much into the operatic style, I listened for a few songs at the time but I had to stop and listen to something else before my head exploded. In time I started to appreciate Tarja more. I ‘broke’ with Nightwish after hearing some bad live versions of the Annette period. It’s only a few years ago I rediscovered Nightwish with Floor as the vocalist, and I was hooked. Now I listen to all three and everyone of them has their merits.

Fully agree to your statements in your introduction!! Re-recording older Nightwish songs with Floor singing would be like rewriting history, both Tuomas and Floor stated in interviews.

Double reaction for High Hopes!!??? YES!!!!!!!!! That'll be so awesome!! Cheers from Brazil

I think this is the only Nightwish song where Floor growls - correct me if I'm wrong. It just shows her incredible vocal range and capabilities. Thanks so much for this great reaction!

Indeed. Pink Floyd is my most favorite band, Nightwish second and Ayreon third. Yes she growls now and then. Oh well, she’s Dutch 😋

Love the three singers,good watching the band evolve over the years

Here: Have a like for your statement about respecting the different singers! Hear! Hear! Truth has been spoken, harken to these words and bring peace and understanding to the world!

I love you guys enjoying the song. And Wolfkain saying “ Why are you crying. This is an angry song”. 😂. But lovely reaction. Their most Metal song. Atleast for me. 🤘🏻

Nightwish is a close nit family, Empu will go around and touch everyone very loving.

Floors growling and ethereal voice is awesome with Marcos high blend.

🤘🤘❤🤘🤘😁✌🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 So glad ya'll are doing this one!!! One of my favs!!! And how cool you got a Kai shout out on SVC!!!!! 😉🤘🤘

Yeah, Kai mentioning you was insane! I always wondered do some of the musicians watch these reaction videos so I guess we have the answer :)

I love all the singers of Nightwish, all for very different reasons! Tarja's voice carries so much emotion. Anette was so clear and concise! Floor's range and versatility?! And Marco is one of my favourite male vocalists of all time! They're ALL wonderful, and they all really brought something different and amazing to the band.

He is on the right track about Empty Hope. Yes ..always read between the lines.

This is one of my favoriete. Love love this

Nightwish Only three US cities in 2021 Lowell, MA 10-7-2021 Tickets on sale now. Make the drive from Florida!

If you want to hear Floor singing in more guttural tones, then you should check out her old band Revamp, singing 'Disdain' live at Grasspop.

Nightwish have made a legitimately angry song before: "Master Passion Greed" is very angry and heavy. It was about the bands feelings towards Tarja and her husband after she was fired, it will never be played live, so if you guys wanted to check it out it'll have to be the studio version. It's also all sung by Marko too: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hBTRq2Kgt3Q.html

This song puts the medal back in symphonic medal.

Love the earrings 💕 Love from South Africa 🇿🇦

I saw a bit of the comment section I didn't saw anybody comment how much of a gem Sistah is. Such soul!

I was at this show, it was fun. Angry song with Tarja: Slaying the Dreamer. BTW: The rumor is that this song is about Anette (like Bye Bye Beautiful is about Tarja), the guys in the band refuse to confirm it so we don't really know.

I think it's time... Really need to see how sistah reacts to nightwish and john two-hawks - creek mary's blood

There is little I can say that has not already been said. But a huge Thank You for giving a shout out to our boy Sonny Von Cleveland. The 8XNATION appreciates you. You should get in touch and maybe be a guest on one of his shows. Keep Rocking 🐺❤

Still loving that middle finger floor thumbnail picture from the ReVamp´s ReVamp Album CD Cover 😸

Check out Marko's Truth Shall Set You Free (from Pyre of the Black Heart) for a reworking of a lot of the lyrics and a totally different sound.

When you two did Ghost Love Score with Floor i PM'ed Floor on her Twitter that she should watch this, so maybe she knows you too. :-)

Fairly certain this is about religion. High Hopes was live only, while Tarja was changing during End of an Era concert.

14:49 "Why you crying??? This song is angry!!!" LOL - Cracking up!!!

I think Thomas is great at recognizing the vocalists particular range and capabilities..and melding them individually into each track

I've never said it before but I really do love your reactions and the conversations.

Wolfcain working on the Marko beard!! Love it!! 🤘

This song's energy is mind blowing. It is not anger, it is pure raw energy. High Hopes...you are in for a real treat there! Pink Floyd should do cover of Nightwish's cover :-).

The singers themselves are on good terms with mutual respect. That says it all if you ask me

U've gained a new fan .. from Canada ! .. lov ya'💜 .. ✌

Good afternoon my dears 💕 love to see you again after a long while, I love hearing YIAEH and how perfect and clear Marko sounds, also how Floor switches from an Angel to a demon queen to a syren 💕 PS: have you heard Dimash Kudaibergen? He is a young singer from Kazakhstan, he's classically trained and has a crazy vocal range, ever since I heard him for the first time, I kept thinking I'd love to hear a duet between him and Floor Oh Wolf you made me laugh with that "why are you crying? This is an angry song!" 😂 and I said the same thing just before you did lol like "is she crying? Why is she crying? 😂💗 I love you Sistah 💗

Sistah, you’re the best, girl! Greetings from Brazil! 🤘🇧🇷

Great to see a new NW video from you guys!!🤘🤘🤘

To make a good and convincing FU song is an art in itself...

Great reaction!! \m/

I loved this song. It is a clap back towards haters.

love this

Great reaction Wolfe and Sistah 👏👏👏

Marco is the sweet innocent boy being chased by the monster that is Floor... I love how they can flip the roles.

To be noticed by Kai... wow! You deserve the recognition. Its like Geddy Lee saying "Hi"

@HalfLifeSistah She's like me. When the music is that good. The emotion becomes too much. Crying releases the intensity of that feeling. But many times, it causes a slight emotional breakdown which causes a flood of tears. It's a heavily emotional reaction to music. We are very rare because music affects us on such a different level that it does others.

Yours is an empty hope may be angry but its still beautiful!! And Floor with her magic hair!!! And naughty boots!!! Girl crush over here!!!!!!! She inspires me in my singing!!!!

Love what you say about the previous vocalists. Although I am a huge Floor fan, I respect Tarja and Anette. They all contributed to what Nightwish is today.

Another example of a legitimately angry Nightwish song would most definitely be Master Passion Greed off of the Dark Passion Play album. That song is pretty much six minutes of pure spite. Loved the reaction! Do you think you'll react to more Devin Townsend soon? I'd love to see you both react to The Death Of Music live at Royal Albert Hall. It's SUCH an amazing song!

Goosebumps

Guys love your reactions about Nightwish. If you want to listening Floor growls, please react to Floors's old band Revamp- Disdain live please please. Greetings from Costa Rica. Pura vida!!

Her growl! 😍😍😍

I'm a big fan of your reaction video. I love this song, floor growls is amazing. This song tumoas wrote it pacifically for Floor

That King Tuomas face 😅 #EPIC 😂🙌💯🙏🙏🙏

This is a great second song of the show after "Shudder Before The Beautiful" - just to get the audience started. The only thing a would love more on this is if they had mixed her vocals a bit higher than Marko's, so we could hear her growl better. It's an amazing song!
