The people in the video are older actors from Finland. I really liked how they did this video. It is a different song for them. I am glad you got what this song was about. You never know what to expect from them........ Thanks for sharing with us! :-)
I love the celtic aspect of this song. They have more of these types of songs like 'My walden' and 'I wnat my tears back' or 'The islander' Marko sings a lot in the lats one :3
More Celtic sound in The Islander live at Tampere and also great is 7 days to the wolves. If you want to see and hear Floor do some stuff by herself try Vilja Lied from the tv show Beste Zangers. It was on tv here last saturday and most Dutch people dont even know what symphonic metal is let alone who Floor is, and both het beautiful opera as well as the reaction of the other singers is really great to watch 😉
When Floor sings all sweet and melodic-like with Tuomas playing the piano I get this warm, fuzzy feeling in the back of my head. And when the song picks up and she goes up in intensity it is such an uplifting and optimistic song. IIRC, Élan is French, roughly meaning "zeal for living".
Keep in mind their live performances also evolve, Nightwish is firm believers that a song can be improved upon after release that vocals can be added or taken out to make the song better. their live performances you get a more perfected song ;)
If you are a sucker for the folky music style, look up The Islander by Nightwish. It's a slower tempo, more focus on Marko's vocals as well as featuring the second singer Annette Olzen. In this case, I would suggest the music video as the soundscape created is a testament to the director.
Not a bad song to react to after a long night of parting! Glad it wasn't Bye Bye Beautiful. That is also a non-live song reflecting the frustration caused from Tarja's departure from the band. Check it out.
One of my favorite songs! “Come drink deep, let the dam of mind seep, travel with great élan, dance a jig at the funeral...” Live while you can. Hangovers fade and sleep deprivation will heal. Sweet memories of crazy adventures and bitter regrets of opportunities not taken both last a lifetime. Make the memories 😎 Also, it’s really rare to see Floor in a dress like that and I’ve never seen her with her hair up like it is in this video and I think it looks AMAZING 😍
It's the 3rd song on the album, and it's sandwiched between 2 of their more heavy songs, Weak Fantasy & Yours Is and Empty Hope. You should check out the latter from the Baltic Princess Cruise video :)
@@ronaldboers8061 so? Studio versions are more polished and you can hear details that you can't hear in live versions of the songs. Just an example you can hear the stuff happening in ghost love score in live version like in studio. I like then both, but I'm not gonna say live is better then studio. They all have their advantages and disadvantages.
I you want a Celtic flavor try I Want My Tears Back LIVE (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ga-hR7CYbwQ.html) and let Troy's Celtic bagpipes and Floor's jig dance drive you as crazy as it did the 80,000 metal-heads at Wacken. You would also like an instrumental Last of the Wilds (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TVLZppHLWF4.html) with Toy and the band doing a great instrumental (also known as Floor's changing song as she goes from leather pants Xena warrior to mini-skirted Valkyrie Goddess). Nice reaction and this song does grow on you but not one of the stronger contenders (I will get blasted again for that statement) compared to many of their other offerings, but hey taste is subjective so make up your own mind. Good reaction BTW and the rebel look fits you (LOL)!!!
Since you already have reacted to Poet and the Pendulum, which tells a story about how Tuomas himself felt after Tarjas departure from the band, You definately should react to "Master Passion Greed", which is a song about Marcelo (Tarjas husband/agent). Nightwish never plays that song live.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wS7NrPNjACI.html
Und wieder ein Typ der sich in dieser Musikrichtung absolut nicht auskennt! Aber schlau sein wollen, Klicks gewinnen, angeblich auf Videos reagieren, bei einer Musikrichtung, die ihm anscheinend absolut nichts sagt.
