REACTING to NIGHTWISH with JULIA NILON (While Your Lips Are Still Red) 💋🎤🔥 

thanks Chase for having me on. It was a lot of fun to film and I'm so glad I finally got to listen to Marko as a soloist! Let us know what else you'd like a collab reaction to and perhaps we can make it happen!

I need a collab from my 3 favourite reactors: = Chase + Julia + Tank The Tech= Avengers Reactors assemble!

Marco was a very accomplished singer and leader of his own metal bands before he joined Nightwish. He is ten years older than the rest of them and he gave them a lot of credibility when he became a part of Nightwish. Not to mention adding his amazing vocal talents.

Chase: "Hope this is part 2 of many more." EVERY viewer: "YEEEEEES PLEASE!!!😁😁😁😁😁"

Note: Even when Floor is singing backup, her hair does that thing.

I'm a guitarist, and I've never seen mastery of the e-bow like Troy shows here. The transients at start and finish are seriously hard to make clean, but Troy just does it like it's nothing.

Chase with Julia Nilon? Immediate like!

Oh, man! THIS song?!? You two AND this song?!? This is going to be a beautiful weekend. Can't wait

"Now it may as well be a podcast at this length" I will watch every episode of the Chase/Julia podcast!

This is my wedding song. I love it so much. It was made during the intermission between Tarja and Annette so Marco actually has the whole vocal in the recording. The Wembley gig was during our engagement and I made a SUPER high pitched squealing noise when I realised they were heading into this song. The original recording has a violin so Troy's Ebow just blew me away. I remember just slumping on the barrier and listening. It was magical. Also for anyone wondering. They went into Elan after this. 😃

"The song reaction podcast, the place where listening to a 5 minutes song takes you almost an hour." I would listen for sure.

In the original movie score, a violin plays the melody that Troy does here with the guitar. So the e-bow makes perfect sense to carry that over to this live performance.

One of my favorite female reactors and one of my favorite male reactors doing one of my favorite Nightwish songs. Marco wearing his "I have Floor Jansen as my background singer" shirt, what more can we wish for?

First another cover with Floor Jansen and now this... What a saturday!

Julia is such a sweetheart. She waits so long to put in her comment obviously so polite towards Chase....

I just watched 42 minutes of Chase and Julia, and was like: 'It's over already???' Loved it, keep them collabs coming, please!!

Troy Donackley really is a Multi-instrumentalist. I Googled and here's what I found. He can play; Uilleann Pipes, Bouzouki, Low Whistles, Portugese Mandola, Tin Whistles, Keyboards, Acoustic Guitar, Bodhran, Electric Guitar And in addition he sings and composes. Quite a Multi-talent. Thank you both so much for Your very interesting reaction

Chase "wanting to pause" face after 10 seconds made my day haha Awesome reaction :)

This Nilon ain't synthetic! Julia and Chase doing Julia and Chase Things.

now Chase is in charge of the pause.. oh dear =p seriously though... 2 amazing knowledgeable reactors together again with great chemistry.. gonna be great

I can't pass up the opportunity to say Julia's voice is like honey.

Chase: "What is the 1st register?" Also Chase: Dives into extremely intricate details about the way the guitar strings are pulled

This has been a ginger overload and all I ask is... more please...

I can't pretend to know absolutely ANYTHING about vocal techniques or anything about instruments or music at all, but I can proudly say I love Nightwish and am very familiar with their work. Everything they produce is a pure work of art. Everything from the smallest, intricate details in audio to the huge physical/visual elements. Every band member is so vital and a genius at what they do. Positive side note here: I absolutely ADORE when people talk about something they are so incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about. It makes your eyes spark with joy and you constantly smile. It just makes me so happy to hear and watch anyone talk about something they love and hold so dearly. So I obviously love watching you both get so excited when talking back and fourth about the technical aspects and explain what is going on with the music and vocals and how they bring up an emotion or how you can produce a certain sound with an instrument. That's stuff I have no knowledge of but watching y'all be so happy makes me happy in turn! It also helps me kinda learn a few things (the simple stuff my brain can comprehend.) Basically I'm just happy and learning things while y'all are happy and learning things. You both are so amazing and I'm a huge fan of you both, Julia and Chase! Much love and good vibes to everyone 🖤🌈🤘 I had originally posted that ^^ as 2 comments while I had paused on the live stream/live comments but the official live video was over so I'm not sure if they went through or not so I wanted to say it again just in case.

There's nothing I like more than watching two good friends are waxing lyrical on things they're passionate about, albeit the differences in expertise, but being so close in proximity because instruments and vocals are like milk and cereals. Julia shouldn't apologize for nerding out over the vocals, it's what we're here for. Troy's ebow was a nice touch and you were on-point about replicating the sound of violin / cello, because the violin was featured in the studio version instead of ebow. Other than that, the song structure and instrumentation-wise are pretty straightforward with anti-climatic ending (ha!) that I don't think you guys missed a beat. Even Julia's interpretation was spot on. Again, well done to both of you. Stellar status! Also, this is an upvote for a podcast or maybe another collab for Christmas :)

This power duo is the best thing ever happened on youtube. Love your reactions and analysis. Great job!

Marko's vocals, Troy's guitar, great backing vocals by a certain Ms Floor Jansen (how she and Marko end the vocals perfectly before Troy takes us to the end of the song).

having the two of you dissect such a song is like eating a wonderful piece of cake on a rainy sunday afternoon with a cup of coffee or tea, and letting each little bit of it melt on your tongue to taste all the ingredients and feel all the textures. and when you say live in the moment end enjoy, this is it so thank you very much for your efforts

Fantastic song! I was in that very audience and was so surprised when they started playing this as I had never seen them do it live before! Such a lush song!

Great job guys! Smashed it.

This Song was never meant to be an Nightwish Song. This was a single Song under the Name "Tuomas, Marco & Jukka". It was written for an Finnish movie. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/While_Your_Lips_Are_Still_Red

I think I could listen to Julia speak for hundreds of years and never be tired of her.

Marko had an unsuccessful operation to remove nodes on his vocal folds many years ago. He started coaching and for a long time was taught how to work around the problem. This always has me in awe of what he does. I would suggest the 2019 version of Marko and Floor doing Ave Maria in the Finnish metal Christmas shows.

It’s so fun watching you two. We get a great vocal analysis and your usual amazing musical breakdown. Great team. Need more of this. Lol

The studio version is hauntingly beautiful, and worth a listen to by itself, it's 90% just piano and violin with maybe two instruments in the final minute ish. For sure give it a listen too

That's how you turn a 4 minute song into a 40 minute reaction/analysis. Perfection. @Chase Carneson @Julia Nilon

Not going to lie.. I cried the first time I heard this song. It also made me regret some life choices I have made, and really shines a spotlight on your personal flaws. It also encourages you to make a lot of small but positive changes in your life to lead a more fulfilling future. This is probably my favorite Nightwish song of all time and I am so thankful for the collaboration on this song especially. I would also love to see a solo reaction from both of you for this song as well! Thank you guys so much!.... Also... Ebow. I could listen to Troy play that thing for days!

Wow, that was a master class. You two make a nice couple!.

Can't wait, this song is so sad and perfect, and both of y'all are pretty damn spot on and great commentators. Can't wait

Please do a collab reaction to "Ayreon, The day the world breaks down". Would be awesome to hear you 2 react to that masterpiece. It's one of my favorite songs. And I think a lot of people would appreciate it if you did that.

You guys together are the reaction GOATs. Wish you'd do more collaborations.

Just when you think Nightwish cannot surprise you anymore - step forward Marco. Such a beautiful song. The musical composition spot on, Troy’s magical guitar playing and then in comes Floor to compliment Marco’s vocals. 💋

For me the abrupt ending signifies the unpredictability of life and death and how it can be shortened without warning, and underscores the meaning. It doesn’t always come neatly... sometimes there is an unfinished feel or the desire for one more (chorus). Another testament to their brilliance as musicians and artists

I have always believed that the sudden ending reflexes the fact that life can end at any moment. You think you know how it is going to end but you don't. Just has been my interpretation of it

"because one day they will be blue and cold and dead......" well that took a turn for the darker, ms Julia Allen Poe..... XD

Chase + Julia = the perfect song analysis. The perfect RU-vid channel really. More collabs please.

Thank you Julia and Chase, I am speechless, what a great song, and how wonderful to see you together again, two wonderful people who know what they are talking about. stay healthy .

Thanks for this collab, love these. Julia is expert on singing, voice. Chase on music, composing. End result - detailed and absolute information. Amazing and thanks to you both.

I feel like I'm intruding on a second date

It is LEGENDARY, and it is Marko who has written it. 👍 🤘 🤘 It's my birthday today - so thank you both for that birthday gift 🎁☺️❤️

These are the team-ups we need. Get Tank in here too!

Chase and Julia , what a very good collab

Oh I'm already feeling this one. The reaction is going to be fueled with daily dose of unstoppable pauses and double XL Diesel.

This song has a special place in my heart ❤️ Yes, Marko is in the lead with Floor backing him up. Yes, Troy is great on the guitar with the e-bow. My now late best friend and soulmate went to a bunch of concerts over the years. But Nightwish in Milwaukee on the Endless Forms Most Beautiful tour was our last. This was in the set list that night and it always brings back some dear memories ❤️ Thanks in advance and I’m looking forward to tomorrow morning 😊

This song was made for the soundtrack of a film, it directed the choices

I recommended this song when the first collab happened. I'm so excited about this!

This is one off the most beautifull songs from Nightwish. So delicate and soft. Love this! And of course your collaboration. 😁👍

The Ginger Squad strikes again! I wasn't even sure I liked this song at first but you two helped me to really hear it. Thanks and keep it up. Take care.

You should do Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down together with Julia. Lots of different singing and lots of varying music.

So, now Chase is in charge of the pause button 😀

When Julia gets into it, it's like you can physically see the music crashing into her and stirring her up... But when Chase gets into it, his brain just shuts off his facial muscles and he always looks off in his own little world. I tease because I love

Great reaction folks. Playing an ebow like that is super tricky and needs huge skill which is very different from a “standard” pick or finger approach. Troy is awesome

Little fun fact. Human Nature album harmonies they created by the campfire with quitar and batterie powered keyboard.

Oh I'm here for this. Thumbs up for this pairing!

Thanks Chase and Julia. Voice and music reaction together: that’s music to my ears.👏👍

Yes, finally!! Can't wait for this one. One of my favourite songs and having Troy and Floor with Marco's lead vocals makes it perfection 👌😍🎶 x

You two have great chemistry, and your knowledge of all things music is amazing. I'm looking forward to this. Oh yeah, add in Nightwish, damn, I really can't wait. haha.

I love these two together. So much mutual respect and love for the music. Hope they do more collaborations for Nightwish and other groups!

Not even 4 minutes into this reaction and already totally in love with this reaction. You 2 together..and this song, epicness personified.

"blue and cold and dead" ... SUCH adorable relish!!

i like how excited you both are

These collabs are soooooo good!! Damn, love them. MORE MORE MORE Please.... Too bad I can 'like' this only once.. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

HELL YEAH LETS GO! PERFECT SONG TO COLLAB WITH

This song does to me what “voice of my father” does for Chase. Appropriate this came out this week: it’s been especially difficult, with both my Godmother and Grandmother passing from cancer right before Covid. Last year was the last Thanksgiving I spent with them...but this year seemed harder. The first one WITHOUT them. This song reminds me to cherish EVERY moment one feels alive, whether it’s an important memory, or one we’d “take for granted.” I always look forward to Meditative Nightwish Saturday Morning Tea Time...but my favorite Nightwish song, coupled with my two all time FAVORITE reactors...this was an impactfully special one indeed... Thank you both so much. Please, never stop what you do. True enlightenment is found between breaths...or in this case, in the Carnesons between the notes... 🥰🥰

Dont stop working together. Gettin both worlds here. Awesome!!

Can’t wait for this one. Two of my favorite gingers in one video is almost too much to take. 😀❤️

I will never remark enough how much funny this woman is. You two should react to "The Day That The World Breaks Down", there's A LOT to talk about from both a musical and a vocal standpoint.

I love both of you, both great reactors, cant wait to see and here what you make of this great performance, and oh ya, Floor singing let it go, watch that aswel. Keep safe and smiling

beautiful song like julia and handsome like chase :) great reaction both thanx and have great day there.

Another great one and with great company 😊 awesome video and really nice song, it makes me sad but still love it 😍

You guys are so fun together. Thanks to each of you for putting out great content. As I think I have said in comments in each of your channels, my favorite reaction videos are the ones that at least try to provide some insight and learning, even if what I am hearing the reactor say is not something "new." You both provide a tremendous amount of insight from such different perspectives. Much appreciated.

I love how you both have your own views, especially towards the end where you discuss the lyrics. This song has a special place in my soul because of the meaning and the way they sang it, and it's satisfying to see other people appreciate it as well.

Ok. The discussion is over. We need your colab on regular basis!

Wanting more is the exact theme of this song.

As a "writer" the phrase "I wrote a novel because I did not have the time to make it a short story" comes to mind as the two of you were waxing on about ballads. I Love how much I am learning from the two of you about why I love music. Neither one of you are lazy, fight me! And yes please more with the two of you.

You two are incredibly intelligent in how you explain your analyses. I have loved your, Chase's, channel and now that I've found Julia's, damn. Subscribed to you both, and I REALLY hope you two consider doing more collaborations, not just on Nightwish, but other groups and songs as well. Love how you both respect each other, and are willing to defer to your respective "lanes" while still being comfortable commenting on the other's analysis. Both of you are very good at explaining music and performances so us "lay people" can understand it, and you both catch SO. MANY. THINGS. Like, dang. Loved the collab, loved both analyses, love Nightwish. Thank you both very much.

I can't overstate how emotional this song makes me. Everyone involved, from Tuomas' composition, to everyone's performance is phenomenal!

Such an underrated song... One of the best to highlight Marco's subtle voice works ! Thanks for the video NB it's actually a song they wrote for a movie Soundtrack

Another collab with my 2 favorites reactors, a long one, about Nightwish ? HELL YEAH I'M HERE FOR THIS ♥ already liked, loved, everythingued !

This I am looking forward to. Two of my absolute fav reactor/analysis.

My favorite two people who do reactions.....together?! Yasss!!!

Love Ginger Collabs, wishing for more Nightwish from you two in future! With thy powers combined!

Damn, this was such a good reaction. I love how you guys looked like you were totally entranced by the song, and I totally agree with your statement how you want more of the song and go back and listen again - I may have done this a time or two.

These colabs between you two are so damn good, please do more in the future, but only for Nightwish :D

Once upon a time there were Batman and Robin. Now we're blessed with Julia and Chase. Thank you both for this phenomenal masterclass !!!

I like that Floor stays seated so that she doesn't distract from Marco

I haven't even seen it but I already know I'm loving it ❤️ I'm so happy you and Julia are gonna do this one! Can't wait! So much love!!! See you then☺️🤗

The skill of you guys... 40 odd minutes and it did not feel too long at all!!

Two music geeks, geeking out on some awesome music... Life is good

Two professionals , unique band and result is amazing! Thank you very much!
