Oh man! High Hopes just gets me in the feels. Knowing Jukka was in pain from a Migraine and hurting while playing, but still performing to the highest caliber...just WOW!
This is just one example why Nightwish isn't boxed in one genre. Symphonic metal might be used a lot, but they can do whatever they want (on elite level).
The stellar Buenos Aires 2018 show where Floor breathed new life in to a number of Nightwish classics and made them her own. "Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean" showcases the wonderful back and forths between Marko and Floor and the irrestible complexity of the Nightwish sound. Thank you both for a great reaction 🙏👍😊❤
This is very much so theatrical. I could only imagine an entire musical written with this theme, and performed as a musical production. The story behind this song is a good one between mermaid and the devil, and of course the mermaid wins at the end, setting the dolphins free. This piece of music is super technical, and the timing required to pull it off has to be spot on. They all operate with a built in metronome. Great reaction. Thanks to you both. Cheers.
Intense is the word that often comes to mind when I listen to this song. Kai on drums always catches my attention. I think he is going hard, practically non-stop. Floor's ability is on full display and, yes, this shows another way where she and Marko make such a great pair. All in all, a real banger of a song.
When I was in my short-lived Nightwish cover band, we’d play this and it was the one song where I’d do the male vocals since it’s not really singing. Super fun song to play.
Huge thanks for your reaction! Song impacts us wievers so deep because Marko and Floor truly live their roles perfectly and they let it sound too. Whole band makes beautiful job and keep the intencity 100% all the way through the song. Just like Tuomas ment it to be played. Perfect. Just perfect. ❤ Kaisa from Finland
That was very good example about the old Nightwish from last from the last millennium. More than half of the crew has been changed by Tuomas is like Jürgen Klopp and found the best player for the role.
Thanks for sharing your reaction to a song that explores themes of longing, power, darkness, and the potential for redemption and transformation in a fantastical realm. It alludes to the allure and dangers of temptation, as well as the cyclical nature of life, death, and rebirth.
Thanks for reacting once again for Nightwish ...... and there's a lot more, During a move you have little time doing things in between, so if I may make a suggestion (and Mrs. Coach will appreciate this one and wants this on het playlist), please react to a very short song (2:50) by AYREON called *_"Valley Of The Queens"_* : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TbebO5BZi-I.html (btw. also Mr. Coach will like this one ....... guaranteed).
Of the top of my head the only song where Marko and Anette really sing together is The Crow, The Owl, and The Dove. A beautiful slow song that rarely gets reacted to and one of my favorites of Anette's. Animated music video is the way to go. It was the winner of a contest by Nuclear Blast records where fans created music videos for the song. The story in the video is heartbreakingly beautiful.
Tuomas find (ok, he knew her since2002. And she was on his radar). And then in a survival Modus of the Band, he calls her,and she comes. Floor saved Nightwish, and Nightwish saved Floor Now newer stuff. Hellfest or Deichbrand from 2022?
I am retired Military. My family moved many times in those 20 years. You will survive and come out on the other side with many memories, good and bad (mostly good.)
thanks for your outstanding reactions and when you do the poet and the pendulum most reactors do the wembley version but this version NIGHTWISH THE POET AND THE PENDULUM LIKE AT TEATRO IN MEXICO CITY 2015 is also very good you see the bandmembers more close to tuomas at the end
This was the song that truly made me a fan when I got my hands on Oceanborn back in the day. The beginning of the album is amazing and this is the crescendo. The intensity and the darkness of the beginning and the hopeful light in the end is just beautiful. Also Tarja and Tapio Wilska who did the male vocals on the album did an amazing job on this, as do Floor and Marko.
G'day Coach & Mrs Coach. Welcome to Nightwish on steroids. Floor really showcasing her vocals here. Peanut butter and jelly and throw in a beer. Look forward to your return once the move has ended. Once again, safe trip and don't forget to breathe and take care of yourselves. Cheers, Rich
This song is an absolute banger 🤘😎🤘. Kai's drumming in this is just crazy ( Kai Hahto "The Human Metronome", or in my book Kai "The Machine Gun" Hahto )!!! In one interview Tuomas/Marko said that Floor has a lungs of a dolphin (That long note is 💥)!!! Plus, she holds the last note (A4) of Nightwish - Ad Astra for 17 seconds (10/6/2022 Sweden Festival). If this wasn't impressive enough, I can also add than now she's just one, I mean ONE, second short from equaling Pavarotti's longest belt ever recorded. So,.... Nuff Said !!!! NWSU/FloorFan/Epican/Ayreonaut/TWA 🤘😎🤘.
Bassist Marko has said that this is a "love song", a poetic, mythological & metaphorical love song of a man (Devil) and woman (Mermaid of the Deep Dark Ocean- the Oceanborn) where she does not return his love or seductions. "I will die for the love of the mermaid, Her seduction, beauty and scorn. Welcome to the end of your life, HAIL the OCEANBORN". This creates chaos in the Mermaids world, “Disgraced is my virginity, death has woven my wedding dress”. As the Mermaid begs “Leave me be!” the Devil says “This apathetic life must drown”. The music then becomes intense and the stage lights turn BLUE (for the Ocean) as the Siren belts out these sharp staccato notes. In the end they break up "setting the dolphins free". Their "song" is over but will “echo” and carry on, "the eternity will begin once again in peace" they both move on. Metal Musical Theater at its best!!!
Welcome to Florida! Hope your move was relatively pain free. BTW, the cold water from the faucet is also the hot water. You will understand in the heat of summer!
LOL...we've read about that! We're actually going to be moving this coming week. Movers here tomorrow and if all goes well, unloading us on Wednesday. We'll probably update on our Facebook.
Thank you both 😆🤘! Peanutbutter and Jelly is, uh, perfect 🤔🙃?. I am a Veggy. I really hope Tuomas will write an Opera . Your NEW House! 😃 I hope you have a POOL 😉😂🤣!!! Greetings from Germany 🤗 alex
Mrs. Coach is allergic to peanuts so she cannot eat it. LOL We're going to arrive at the new house a day before the furniture gets there, so we may have to sleep on a pool float. HAHA!
@@CoachCastTV 84.2 F here in Germany and no Pool 😥. It's possible to live without Peanuts, but damned dangerous 😮. Take care, try to relax and finally enjoy, when the stress of moving is over 😄.

We'll record some J. Cole when we get moved into our new home. Currently our studio is down as we are in the process of moving. We won't have very many new videos for a few weeks. We just have a few left to post from prior recordings.
I hope you move has not cause family strife. Such a wonderful couple. I know your relationship depends on compromise and love. This is a taste of Nightwish musical theater. Marko as always plays the role of the devil or evil spirit who is pursuing Floor's ocean mother nature mermaid spirit in an attempt to subdue and seduce her. Thankfully even though it seems he does capture her in a nefarious and amorous embrace, she escapes to swim free with the dolphins and the natural order is restored. That's my take on this intense performance. Stay calm, breath deep, and it will get done. Never easy to move. Especially if you have inhabited your current domicile for many years.
"Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean" is a _very_ early Nightwish song, from their 'dungeons and dragons' days. (Marko wasn't even a member yet when it was first released.) Tuomas' style has evolved considerably since, which is why it comes across as a bit primitive compared to his current works.
Good luck with the move. I hate moving, such a pain.👍 Siren like is close, think Mermaid. Marko's Devil character is amorously pursuing Floor's Mermaid character. She is having none of it , and manages to get away. Another older Tarja era song, before Marko joined as well. Recorded for the 1998 2nd album, Oceanborn. Vocals by Tarja and guest Tapio Wilska (he used harsh vocals). Sami Vanska on bass back then. Tuomas sang in studio on several songs from the 1st album, he decided he wasn't good enough, and they used guests for any male vocals from then until Marko joined in 2001. Love the back and forth with Marko and Floor here. Steak and potatoes go together great, but don't thoroughly mix like peanut butter and jelly.😁
Hope the rest of the move goes as smooth as possible! Don't worry about skipping a few reactions, anybody who doesn't understand the need doesn't deserve them anyway! 😜
Hello can you find time to please React to Unis😊 UNIS - Highlight Medley, Unis - Curious Film and also UNIS-Curious MV Teaser and Drop of Official MV Will be tomorrow August 6 ...this is their comeback❤~ thank you❤❤❤
You might want to check out Tuomas' project "music inspired by the life ant times of Scrooge mc Duck". He was a huge fan of the old comics as a child and made an album about it. The single "a lifetime of adventure" has a video well worth watching. it features the original artist, Don Rosa, of Scrooge drawing a picture during the video. the music is simply haunting and the lyrics are quite deep. It also features his wife Johana Kurkela, a Finnish singer. i thin you and Mrs Coach will very much enjoy it.
You should try to react to danish band “Dizzy Mizz Lizzy”. They are Pretty huge in Europe on the metal scene and as well in Japan. You Can take and old song or a new one. Doesnt matter. They are SO good 🫶🇩🇰
The Devil (Marco) tries to entice the Mermaid into his watery domain, but she's having none of it. A song that shows off Floor's more wild vocal possibilities including some real grit in the same phrase as smooth vocals (even more wild in the next song but one in the set, Slaying the Dreamer). Originally, though you could hear the genius was there, this song was underwhelming partly because Tapio only grunted and also because Tarja didn't do any of the wild stuff After this version was released it rapidly rose from wat down my list up to joint 4th (with Dead Boy's Poem from this show).
If you want to hear Marko singing with Anette, then I recommend you song Bye Bye Beautiful (official video clip). I wouldn't do live because Anette wasn't that great live singer.
So dramatic! Almost operatic! I'm all for setting the dolphins free... I'm wondering whether the little high scream was meant to represent a dolphin's whistle... 🤔
Simplest terms? How about "Thrashy",,,, that pace (the BPM) is wicked-fast at 179 bpm. Funny you used the peanut butter -n- jelly analogy. There's no way I could get 179 chomps per minute into that sammich. Enjoy the move. Spare your backs. Become supervisors, not forklifts. Hire high school kids... they rebound from any physical task in 6.43 hours... it's science/fact.
We've learned you cannot trust 88.35% of all statistics on the internet. LOL We actually have professional movers, we're far too old to move stuff. Packing has been enough of an ordeal. 179 bpm is insane.
This live version while good, is not imho nearly as good as the studio version (often the case with these earliest songs) and I highly recommend giving it a listen as well 😊
No apologies necessary. Moving is about as stressful as it gets. Kai is one heck of a drummer. As much as I liked and still like Jukka, Kai brings his own level of kick ass to Nightwish. They don't call him the human metronome for nothin'. The guy is a machine in the best possible connotation. He is amazing. Marko's vocals are just off the charts. He is sorely missed. Now the fun starts - puttin' all that stuff away in your new place. We moved from California to Arkansas in 2017 in our late 60's - NEVER AGAIN
