PRO SINGER'S first REACTION to NIGHTWISH - LANTERNLIGHT 

Nightwish is Symphonic Metal, but sometimes it’s not. 😄🤘

Floor 's voice give chills, no matter the style of music she is interpreting ^^

I'm glad to meet you again, after.. years. Of course you have a new subscriber here, in the hope that we will meet again. This is the 4th single from the new album Yesterwynde, released today. To everyone's surprise - a ballad, which is an opportunity for us to enjoy the richness of Floor's voice in a different register than she is used to in symphonic metal. The voice at the end belongs to the British multi-instrumentalist Troy Donockley. Greetings from Romania!

If you don't like metal, maybe react to their instrumental half an hour piece here: "Nightwish - All The Works Of Nature Which Adorn The World (MUSIC VIDEO)"

Nightwish got you at last. Congrats! Troy sings at the end. 👍👍👍 ( symphonicmetal) The new album is written for you.😉

Nightwish is surprisingly versatile. They have some softer ballads like this one, they have jazz and softer metal, they have songs where Floor sings in an operatic style, but she can also do a gritty metal style or even straight up growling. Some of their stuff goes pretty hard. There have been 3 female lead singers, and 2 male singers who generally sing harmonies or backup, but are occasionally at the front. For something different, you may want to check out Slow Love Slow, with Anette Olzon as the lead (or Floor's solo version of the song) or Kiss While Your Lips are Still Red, with Marko (former bass player) singing the lead. Another song similar to this would be their acoustic version of How's the Heart with Floor and Troy singing.

Thank you for reacting! Through this song, you probably noticed that Nightwish has many sides. Nightwish has actually had 3 different lead singers, Floor here is the 3rd one. I don't know which one you heard the last time you listened to Nightwish. Tarja is the first one and she is more operatic sounding than the other two. After her came Anette and she was more on the poppier sound. And Floor is more on the side of rock, but she does kinda everything. The male vocalist you heard here was Troy. He sings sometimes, but he mainly plays the pipes and actually a lot of other instruments too.

Gone is the hurt, the wait, gone is the warmth of day. A stray boat saved, happy memories engraved, on into a velvety night, beneath a lanternlight. Last night brought the heaviest of snows melting the songs of old, tying the boat, write a new one soon, sending me to the drowning moon, far above a lanternlight. I'm in the light and flood, I'm in the four winds, I am the waves shaping pebbles flawless gems, I am the snow on your palm. I am the secret stream, moss beneath your feet, I am you who climbed off of my back not long ago, a sheltered song in a world now gone, petrichor, the timeless. Turn loose the swaying boat, meltwater, sound of spring. I hear our song now, sung by the free, for a thousand more tomorrows of an incomplete weave. To the meadows I go, I’ll be waiting for you once upon a lanternlight. I walk now toward the trees, I am the secret stream, the night falling at my feet into the forest of Yesterwynde.

Nightwish dabbled in quite a few genres and has a lot of ballads, too. They're a very versatile band. Also, it's ok to not like an artist. to each their own, after all.

Nightwish hasn't had an operatic singer since 2005. Floor Jansen is capable of using operatic technique, but usually doesn't. The male singer is Troy Donockley who has been with Nightwish since 2006 as a session musician and 2013 as a full member.

Greetings from Finland 🤘

'Sveriges bästa sångerska'🇸🇪

Grattis! Floor Jansen is the third and current singer, she is the most versitile singer today... Ha de

Another ballad with your choice of,all three singers would be Sleeping Sun. Or if you want to hear Marko singing, try The Islander or While Your Lips Are Still Red.

😎🤘😎 Enjoyed your reaction. I've been a Nightwish fan since 1996. Even though they do a lot of great symphonic music, they've never limited themselves to that. Floor is an absolute beautiful beast of a singer. But I'm also a fan of the two previous singers, Tarja and Annette. This new song is so heartfelt.

Mama Goddes Floor using her lower notes. Maybe you like Floor's Solo Album too.

The world is full of surprises.

Maybe its filmed in Sweden, Floor and Hannes (Drummer of Sabaton) live in Sweden. 😃

You might prefer Floor’s solo work. She released an album called Paragon which is definitely not metal.

Nightwish is my favorite band, but I always prefer reactors who are honest to those who act like every song they hear is the new best song ever. If you like Lanternlight, I honestly think there is a chance you may like a bunch of material from their new album, but probably not the other singles. The second half of the new album in particular has a much gentler and subtler sound than what they are known for, even with the inclusion of heavy guitars. As a longtime fan it is honestly some of my favorite material from them. Another song from the new album that is mostly acoustic is Sway, but if you want to try out some that lean a more into rock/metal I would recommend Something Whispered Follow Me or Hiraeth. A couple songs from previous albums that I think you may like are Procession and The Islander.

I feel like this song is a ode to everyone who lost theier parrents!! Floor sings the sentence, i was the one who climbed of your back not long ago, same words used in Our decades in the sun, that basicly why i say its about lost parrents, who became stardust.. Nightwish is a lot more then the genre symfonic metal, but if they do have to be boxed, thats it, because well, they do use a orchestra..

Floor komt uit Nederland, maar woont in Zweden. En heeft ook een heel mooi soloalbum "Paragon". Ook een paar video"s van dit album b.v. Fire en Storm. Ik denk dat je die wel heel mooi zult vinden.

Floor does everything, regardless of genre. And she does it to perfection. So when Symphonic metal is not your cup of tea, you will find her doing plentiful of stuff you will like. For instance listen to "alone" or "shallow" from her.

Oh he is Troy at the end❤with his angelic voice

Death's Boy Poem (My personal favourite) is another cool ballad from the concert in Buenos Aires you could check, Our Decades in the Sun, How's the heart (acoustic version hard rock), also the orchestral versions that come in the albums are masterpieces, keep rocking and stay safe....

great reaction more nightwish you mayby like nightwish accoustic from rock radio hows the heart and nemo

This is Floor Jansen from the Netherlands.

Do listen to Everdream and Storytime from Wacken 2013. Also Floor's rendition of Lady Gaga's Shallow from the Beste Zangers show. these are in you range.

🤗🍒🤘🏻 well done and welcome to the Nightwish Family, you still have a lot of information to gather about Nightwish and Floor, maybe see you later!! And by the way Floor also lives in Sweden with hannus her husband, the drummer of Sabaton!!🎶🎼

❤

Opera and metal are a perfect mix, this is where you are mistaken but ever body has the right to their own taste and opinions even if they go against the general consensus.

This is the ending song on the new album.

Hey Danny....consider checking out the acoustic versions of two songs that Floor and Troy did. How's The Heart and Nemo...both live at Planet Rock.

This song was made because Tuomas father died.

Very beautiful

Consider checking out Harvest, Troy, the male vocalist here is in the front at that one. It is basically folk metal, nothing operatic in it.

Great! ❤

Floor Jansen is not an opera singer. Floor took lessons in opera singing and is able to sing like an opera singer. You can't put Floor in any box because she is whatever she wants to sing 😍 and that's why the 🌍 lays on her feet.

Floor is living in Sweden, but I think the snow scenes are from Kitee, Finland, the home base of Nightwish. The male voice is by Troy Donockly, aka the space bard. (here you can see him floating in space with the uilleann pipes....) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4hTAV1WpZiA.html

Troy is singing.

What a great ending of the Trilogie. Tuomas is a genious, and Floor, as a HSP, his voice.

Would have been surprised if a Swede liked Nightwish....so no surprise here.

You seem to not be a fan of Tarja's more operatic singing style, but you may like Tarja singing the Nightwish ballad Sleeping Sun with Steve'n Seagulls who play a number of accoustic instruments, including a banjo in the song. Lot of fun.

Does this guy actually know what opera is? Bruce Dickinson is too operatic! Not very well musically educated in my opinion.

Bruce Dickinson operatic. A joke, right 😆

The other " singer " is band member Troy Donockley and IMHO there's no reason 4 him to be in this song .
