Singer Reacts to Nightwish - High Hopes (Pink Floyd Cover) 

with Marko please check, While lips are still red (live in London), The voice of my father and of course The Islander (live in Tampere)

I have tears in my eyes. Oh, God, I'm going to miss Marco. I hope he comes back.

For a few moments i thought you will burst in tears. I highly recommend " the Islander" live in Tampere to you...another Masterpiece of Marko. Really sad that he's leaving the band

More Marko? You need While Your Lips Are Still Red (Live, at Wembley, 2015) and The Islander (Live At Tampere) ...

As I have said before. I met them all a few years ago. You can always tell true talent. They have no egos. They let the music speak for them. Marko was very laid back. Very kind and patient. He also has great sense of humor. Made me feel comfortable talking to them. Just a great bunch of people.

We have great singers in Finland! Marko is the one and the best❣❣

Marko is an intelligent super talented singer....He really suited this band and helped elevate their status and popularity .

And this is why Marko is gonna be missed greatly! I have High Hopes that he will return soon.. 🤘🏼

It takes a certain amount of audacity to even attempt a Pink Floyd cover - and immense talent to pull it off. What Marco and Nightwish do here goes beyond talent and all the way to genius. I saw Nightwish in a club in 2016, and stood about fifteen feet from Marco. This song was a true highlight of an overwhelming show, and Marco at close range is even more amazing than what we see in these videos. I can't imagine how they'll ever replace Marco . . . but then again, I said the same thing about Tarja, and look how well that turned out.

With Love from Finland!

This song was about troubles in the band Pink Floyd at that time and Tuomas decided to play a cover live in 2005

Yep see marko shine in this one too, kiss while your lips are still red live from wembley.

Marko does such an inspired tribute. Dave's guitar sang the final 3rd of the song which is emotional af.... Marko did it equal justice. 🤘

we are so going to miss his presence, can only hope he will return, EMPPU....master of the solo, never plays to little, never plays too much, just what the song needs. Marco was so glad when Floor came on board as he always had to hold back with the other singers, but with Floor, they both can just let it rip!!!!!! Keepum coming!!!!

he has an operatic voice, which is rare for a rock singer, beautiful vibrato also, and his high notes sound so pleasant to our ears expecially the last corus it's sound so so so beautiful.. "the water flowing the endless river" in one breath!!!! what a long breath he has

Very glam today, hun! 💜 This just hammers home how much we'll miss him. 😢 I hope he returns one day...

Sabina, you are spot on about Marko being ridiculously comfortable - yet intense - on stage. This is what he does. Which is why it's hard to believe he won't come back. Get better, sir, then rejoin us. Other peeps here have already recommended another Marko highlight: The Islander (live in Tampere). You'll get to hear him perform VERY much solo, just him and a guitar in front of 20,000 people. And once again, he reveals different colours in his voice. By the way, we all have a woman- or mancrush on Emppu, that dear boy.

The Islander, The voice of my father, and Delain- Sing to me featuring Marko are more great Marko songs

so good A master vocalist in his own right! Who else could have Floor as a backup singer? Empu is great too as you said the whole band is involved.

Don't forget about that drummer, killin it there too! :-)

This version is better than the OG & I'm saying that as a Pink Floyd fan. I love your reactions so great job :-) As many before me already said, you need to watch 'The Islander' live from Tampere & I'll add that I think you should also listen to 'While your lips are still red' either the original studio version or the live performance from Wembley, both are great!

This was NOT a cover. It was a Tribute and David Gilmour approved!

This may be Marko's best solo voice singing of anything I have seen

Just such a phenomenal band, Marco is next level

Great tribute to Pink Floyd. Marko’s voice is great. We will all miss him in Nightwish. Get goosebumps every time seeing and hearing this version by Nightwish. You must see “the islander” live at tampere. Another song with Marco’s great voice.

One of his best performances ever, and my favourite of him where he sings alone. Great reaction.😊👍 I would love to see what Henri is gonna say to it.😄

I love your written comments along the song! Stick to that! This is one of my favorite performances, more like a tribute than just a cover. One reactor, a guy from Germany, said this was a performance by 4 guys competing whose the coolest of all. They really all shine in this one. When it's time, (whenever that might be, there is a lot of music in this world to react to) for your next main vocals by Marko reaction, maybe something softer that time. Nightwish "While Your Lips Are Still Red" Wembley 2015, a beautiful ballad. Or Nightwish "The Islander" Tampere 2015, folky, Celtic, sea shanty, Marko's own composition, lyrics by Tuomas. 🇫🇮

Unbelievable!

I think Nightwish enhances this song so well ... Better than the original ... Great ... And you are a great person who analyzes music videos very well ... Great ... Greetings from Germany ...

the text mirrors todays state of the world too, great reaction as always, greets from Bulgaria

My hope is that Marco will come back when he gets things sorted out. He belongs in Nightwish but mental health is much more important. Love you Marko and good luck. By the way you are one of the top reactors on RU-vid as far as I am concerned. Nice seeing real emotions without craziness

magic!!

Another recommendation for "The Islander" from Tampere!

About your LoTR Elf crush: It's not a coincidence. Tolkien modeled the Elves, including their language from Finns. Their blondeness, love for the nature, their behavior all resemble to the elves.

Sabina, "The Islander" from Tampere - you´re gonna love it! Another Marko song, and he composed this one. ;)

5:05 True Nightwish fans knew :P

Pink Floyd applauds standing up!

Just found that cover about a week ago. I’ve probably watched/listened to it a couple dozen times. Strange to watch Nightwish without a female singer but loved it! Nice reaction.

Henri needs to see this.

Ohhh Marko I love ❤ him🔥💥🤘

This is still a rare piece of art, one of the few were I prefer the cover to the original, this is not really a cover it is a whole new imagining of High Hopes. Marco just pours his heart into this song, and Emppu is stunning, Jukkas drums are perfection and Tuomas just supports the whole song, But it is Marcos real time to shine and he shines brighter than the sun

My two favourite bands represented in one song. Really? This is awesome.

They gave you chills, you gave us chills... Everything is fine in Sabina's channel!! 💖💖

For me this is less a cover but more a tribute to the original song and to Pink Floyd.

Please, please, please Sabina, give us a reactionvideo to this song with Henri on your side.😘😘😘😘

BEST. BOY. BAND. EVER 🤘 FACT 🤗🎶🤘 gonna miss him at Wembley in December 😭 ❤️

Hi Sabina, such a great reaction to this magnificent song you had. I think you might find interresting to hear Marko singing Islander -Tampere 2015 or Kiss, while your lips are still red - Wembley Arena. Of course he has amazing songs performing with Floor Jansen. I like his voice a lot, very unique voice. Only one in the whole world. So many times when we see him playing his bass, we forget how talented singer he is. I also appreciate him as a musician, writing songs and lyrics. Not to forget his talents to sing and play bass and guitar at the same time. I have heard the original song several times which is just great and I really don't like to compare it to this version. I like both of these very much. This gives different kind of wibes with that more metallic sound. Great work from Nightwish guys. Drums and guitar solos, YES! They just keep echoing in my head for a long time after the song ended. A great choise to pick this song here to listen. I'll be waiting for the next choise of your's... take care.

you said "that cry at the end of the belt" 😄😄😄niceeeee👏👏👏👍you noticed it too👍👍👍, good ears sabina😊, i watched many reactions on this song but you are the only one who noticed that!!! it sounds delicious right?..

Extra special emotionally, as Tarja was backstage, not knowing what was to come, that look from Tuomas to Marco. These guys are absolutely amazing, you were ready to wipe away a tear... Came back to this from your 50K party, a big thank you for doing these, as we can't safely go out yet, this means a lot, it's like being there with you.

Sabina, you are my best youtuber, thanks for your "respect", to the artists, to the music.

This tribute can only be described in one word... Brilliant!

if you wanna see Marko singing, i suggest Age of shadows from Ayreon concert Universe. There he sings with Hansi from Blind gardian and a little bit of Floor Jansen.

I'm late again but I'M BACK! First YT video and it's you and MARKO!!!!! So good! ( did ya miss me? HA!) .... Speaking of missing someone, I hope Marko goes back to Nightwish soon! I made a Nightwish fan after playing this song to a life-long Pink Floyd fan! note Tuomas' side nod at 2:59 - telling Emppu to check on Jukka who had a migraine! - and he still played so well!!! 4:52 Emppu jumps back down. Absolutely love this TRIBUTE from Nightwish to Pink Floyd!!!!!

Marko has gone on record saying that this song pretty much inspired his whole career. So, when it was suggested that they cover this, he wanted to make sure he did it justice, while adapting it to Nightwish's style. I think they succeeded.

You know, after this show, the Band give Tarja the open Letter. She fired. By by beautiful.. and all Members knows it. Look in her faces.

Always a pleasure seeing you enjoy music...

Soulful reaction 💓

Nice to view a video without to much talking over it, seen /heard this song before, bought the dvd just for this song,

Marko is such a natural frontman and I know he has had his own bands in the past and present but I love that he takes a step back in Nightwish for a female lead.

Loved ur reaction, tnx Sabina...

Прекрасно, Сабина.

For a cover to be remembered and revisited for so many years after it happened it really speaks for itself. They took the great original and created their own amazing version. And Marko just kills it, we are so going to miss him in Nightwish

That's how to make a legendary song greater. Emmpu in some of his superb solos - this is top-level music. There is a reason for the existence of the Nightwish Army 👍😉🤘🤘

Most of us think that rather than cover this is a tribute to PF. Tuomas wanted to tune this original to fit NW and made it heavier and the result is so awesome and brilliant. Marco shows he not only that he is awesome bass player for NW but can sing so great at the same time and has so fitting voice for NW male singer role. So sad that he decided to leave.

I discovered this song with Nightwish, and it is still my favorite version of it !

Very nice reaction, thanks! NIGHTWISH AND MEGADETH?? 🔥 MARCO SINGING HEAVY SOLO? 🤘🏻 My suggestion is another cover of them, which we HARDLY see on RU-vid.🇳🇱 And if you like a HEAVY Nightwish sound, this will be a very nice one! 🔥🤘🏻😎 Marco is singing solo on this one. Check out their cover of Megadeth, symphony of destruction. (Montreal 2004) AND A HEAVY SIREN FLOOR & MARCO? The second also hardly on RU-vid, is a heavy Siren, The Siren performed live of course by Floor Jansen, and also again a very good singing Marco🔥❤️🤘🏻 Enjoy it, and I with you!

Saw Pink Floyd on their "Dark side of the Moon" tour.

The building up of this song by Nightwish is genius. This is a amazing tribute to PF. Thank you Sabina for sharing this ❤️

Cool cover! I love both teams: Nightwish and Pink Floyd. Respect for your excellent manner of commenting: there is no interruption of the song, but everything is reflected in the subtitles

Sabina, this was really nice.

Dear Sabina, you know, this is not a cover, its a tribute from Nightwish to Pink Floyd.

Gorgeous.

Stunning reaction with equal audio and video! Your mesmerized face during the song kind of amplified my experience of your reaction to this unworldly performance. Now that is complicated explanation, I must admit, hah!

3:08 A story I read is that Jukka had migraine and hold his head at 2:49, at 3:02 you see Toumas nod to Emppu to check him up and at 4:54 you can see Empuu jumping off the Drum stage after being there up with Jukka. Not sure it was like that but that’s what I read

NIGHTWISH - Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean - Live In Buenos Aires (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO)

Peace Sabina!

You HAVE to watch him sing the islander ...live at Tampere is probably the best.

Last ride of the day at Wacken 2013 with Marko & Floor is worth a look. Henry might enjoy it as well. Definitely check out The Islander at Tampere for more Marko solo.

GHOST RIVER FROM WACKEN 2013 - nice one.

I’ve seen Pink Floyd three times live, and this Old Metal Rock Head thinks Nightwishes cover is just as good as the original. Nightwish made it their own! If you want more Marko check out Delane “The Gathering “featuring Marco live. Sorry I can’t send you the link just don’t know how! Great Job Rock On Stay Safe!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

You've got to show this song to Henri!

This is how to f up a classic

Marco had his own metal band called Talon but he has since retired from music for awhile.💚♬

Greate reaction Sabina 👌 If you like this song and Markos peformance so much you must listen to his old band Tarot. And special the live peformance with the song Tides. Amazing voice😍

I always notice the large dark area on the stage where Tarja would usually be, I think that was done on purpose considering what happened right after this concert. This was their big "oh so you will be better off with out us, eh?" response to Tarja. Basically go to that greener grass and burn those bridges and see how it turns out for you.

Emppu is like son of Galadriel and Frodo... not everything was told..

When Marko sings, no matter if the audience is in the thousands, I j know that he is singing just for me - that's how intimate his voice is. He can create a unique bond with the listener. Bravo!

Thought that I would come back and check on your reaction to this song. I may have removed my like months ago, you know why. But you deserve a like for this reaction and I'm happy to give it back to you. I have concluded that the issues we had are most likely not your fault because I had the same thing happen with 3 other reactors. So I apologize Sabina, never got my money back, but I accept the blame for that and have subscriberd again. Peace and love to you. 🌹

Lovely thoughtful reaction Sabina, I very much like the captions you include. I think The Islander live at Tampere will satisfy your Marco requirements!

I keep coming back to watch this cover, again and again.

This was more a tribute, than a cover.

Nightwish - The Islander (Live At Tampere)- Marco melts the soul and a surprise in the last verse... A must see!

Sabina you look stunning today 🐱‍👤🎶👍 By the way Nightwish alsoo did a cover of a Megadeath song with Marko on vocals of course👀👀👀 "Symphony of Destruction" (Nightwish calls this Pink Floyd "cover" not a cover but a tribute)

I worked on this tour in 1994. 55 trucks 600 people to build the stage.

This is sooo freakinnnnnggggg insaaaaaaaaaaaaaane goooood!! Marko's voice is one of the best i have ever heard!!

Just waiting for both youyrself and Henriette to react to I want my tears back.

Thanks

Marko and Tarot- tides

To fall madly in love with Marko check out The Islander live at Tampere!

Marko also sings for Tarot, check out their song Tides from Undead Indeed. Great showcase of his voice.
