I think of this song as Tuomas' love letter to humanity. This stripped down performance by Floor and Troy always make me feel like they knocked on my door and delivered it personally. Just beautiful.
A música foi diretamente inspirada na vida da Floor, onde alguns versos dialogam com acontecimentos que realmente aconteceram com ela. "O segundo verso dessa música para mim é muito especial. O Tuomas escreveu 'Nos encontramos onde o penhasco saúda o mar'. Isso é uma referência ao fato de eu ter encontrado o amor da minha vida, o Hannes van Dahl. Em outro trecho, ele diz: 'Agora há alguém que veio de mim'. Isso significa minha filha: 'Uma criança de luz, outro conto'. Assim que o Tuomas me contou sobre o significado da música, comecei a chorar na hora. Sempre que o assunto volta eu choro, é muito tocante e de derreter o coração", diz. Fonte: podcast Metal Talks
This is yet another Tuomas masterpiece. So simple, yet so eloquent and heart-touching. It's lately occurred to me that the reactors I love most all have one thing in common: they are all to one degree or another "high sensitives" ' as Tuomas and Floor have described themselves. This is something so real and it cannot be faked. Here I am at 71 feeling every note, every nuance of these masterworks. Never too old, never too late. So how's the heart, Sabina?
It's so nice to share our favourites, with someone who feels it in a similar way to us! I followed Floors suggestion and looked it up, there was a questionnaire, I was shocked by my high score, probably explains a few things in my life.
I'm a bit late to the party but I have to say - this woman is a gift. There are very few performers who have all the qualities she has and they come around maybe once or twice in a lifetime. I am so grateful that I am here, now, to experience her.
This is my absolute favorite. Beautiful message: kindness, caring and love. So emotional acoustic execution by Floor and Troy. And they say that Troy's left ear has been deaf since then. 😅👍
Human Nature is becoming one of my favorite Nightwish albums ... the 2nd side of the album is so beautiful ... Tuomas is definitely more than a song writer .. he is truly a composer ... thank you for this Sabina ... this made my morning ...
I love how this song allows all Floor's empath side to overflow and embrace the listener's feelings. And your eyes, Sabina! During this reaction you really shined! I think you have a gift as well. 👋🇮🇹🖖
It´s so amazing. I seen Nightwish in Oslo in November last year. How´s the heart? and Shoemaker were my favourites that night. The emotion I felt was so overwhelming. It was an incredible concert, memories that will resonate through me the rest of my life.
The official video makes this strippeddown version even more impressive.When you compare how complex the album version is with all its layering, the adaptation to this arrangement is just remarkable
Sabi, wonderful reaction, thank you. The lyrics, " we met where the cliff greets the sea " and " now there's one who came from me / a child of light, another tale "is dedicated to Floor her husband Hannes and the birth of their daughter Freja. Be well.
If Marko is / was a Viking Berserker, when singing, Troy is the Druid who waits for You after battle, Emmpu is a Rogue, Toummas a Level 100 Barda, And Floor a Valkirie
Sabina, I've watched a lot of your reactions in the past, you didn't need any words to describe how you felt about this song. Your face said it all while you listened. We all know that Floor can bring emotions to the surface of the listener, watching you listen and your beautiful face showed everything. ❤
Hi Sabina, I appreciate that you replied, thank you. I'd like to expand some on why I commented, your reactions are more tailored to someone like myself, I'm not a singer so your reactions are more in line with my needs. I don't care about tongue placement or mouth shape. You give just enough "technical" information for me to understand without going so far as to make me click off. I see that you also are a singer, as is Henri, are there videos that I can watch? Just in case nobody told you today, you're beautiful!! ❤
Considering your analysis of the emotions involved and the song being about checking on your loved ones, especially mental health, I'd say she brought the exact energy that the song deserves.
They really show their emathy in the lyrics too - something you should recognize from your work Sabina - for example, how about this encouragement to join in instead of commiting suicide: Come on in, the fire's warm Dull the blade and dance some more
This song makes me feel like a young boy again, when I was feeling bad....and my mother would listen to my problems and then comfort me. She is 88 now....and even my age ( 64.)...I wish I could just let her hug me. I may be a big guy...but all of us guys have this vulnerable side that our mother's know about, and their touch helps sooth the pain. Thank you very much for the video Sabina!! You get a virtual hug from me!!!
Tuomas has said this song is an ode to human empathy. Very beautiful and powerful. They have been doing both the album and acoustic versions in concert. Second acoustic Nemo from this same show or an even more stripped down version from her solo show.
Wow you were much stronger than me listening to this beautiful, simple, vulnerable and deeply touching sing. Their harmonies were outstanding and Troy's guitar work is the best I've ever heard from him. Simple but immensely powerful. But the star was Floor her voice does something very deeply to me . Even now watching this video possible a hundred times before she still tears me up. Especially when she goes high and with such power but it's the amazing control she has over her instrument. I've never I'm my 48 years heard anyone who comes close to giving me the feelings and emotions that she does. She truly is majestic and her storytelling is unparalleled. I don't think I could ever be in a room or studio with her singing so beautifully in front of me I would sob like a small child ( not that I would ever be so blessed to be in front of her) she sings almost death metal type vocals in yours is an empty hope to classic opera type vocals in ghost love to this soft gentle and vulnerable but with real power and emotions towards the end. She is a true master of her craft and she awes me with just a gentle sentence. Greetings from England 🏴 UK 🇬🇧🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍
There are occasions when an acoustic and generally stripped down version of a song can enhance its quality and beauty. This is a great example of what I’m on about. Stripped down versions can also show the chemistry between band members, on a more personal level…the warmth with Floor and Troy is there for all to see. This video is also a good opportunity to see what an accomplished musician Troy is. A great example of the other dimension that Nightwish can offer…unplugged. Excellent choice Sabina…good to see you embracing the moment. Planet Rock by the way is a U.K. DAB radio station that specialises in contemporary rock and has guest presenters such as Alice Cooper, Joe Elliott from Def Leppard and others.
Floor and troy are magnificent live and acoustic. Such a shame not seen nightwish this year due to Covid cancelling wembley but they all just get better and better
Soooo, somehow I missed this one for a long time. Argh. Anyhow, your commentary about the *nature* of Floor and what makes her so damn special is some of the best I've ever heard. You nailed it. I'm going to stumble here, but she's like the ultimate expression of femininity and graceful power combined with extraordinary maternal warmth. She's breathtaking. And we're not even really talking about THAT VOICE yet! Goddess-like. Truly goddess-like.
I immediately preferred this one over the album version 🙂 I'm sad I haven't found it on Spotify yet, because I would love to play it in my car as well 😊
I have always said that this is the song the world needs right now. Showing empathy is the only way to heal ourselves and each other. Here is a little bit explaining the meaning behind the song: "According to Tuomas, the song is an 'ode to human empathy.' The song’s premise reinforces the idea that caring for people, and inquiring as to their well being, can save them from the mire of sadness that might lead them to suicide, if otherwise left to their own devices." 💜🙏✨
Beautiful. Floor is fearless. She has so much confidence in her vocal abilities at this point in her career. Great to see you again Sabina. Hope you have a wonderful 2022! 🥂🎉🎊🙏
Having heard this multiple times (and I wish it where available to download), I think it's better than the very good version on the album. Floor's voice is so beautiful and the pared-back treatment really emphasises her great qualities of empathy and storytelling, not just the extraordinary technique. And Troy is wonderful on both guitar and harmony vocals. Please listen (and react) to the version of Nemo from the same Planet Rock session. Also worth comparing and contrasting with the full-fat Nightwish version and the very recent version that Floor published from her solo concert in Amsterdam, which is very different too.
Darn, I had an extensive comment typed in, then Firefox crashed and I can't remember most of it. It was in general agreement with you, and how it was clear from your expression that you felt it, too.
Hi Sabina, great to see you back with some Nightwish - fantastic reaction as always, your face really said all that needed saying really but then your thoughts and analysis were great and so articulate - you should show this one to Henry, perhaps even react again with her? Xx
Hi Sabina! I like your reactions a lot! You did them all very well and i always enjoy them. I also like this song, more than the original. I love Floor's voice and you can hear it much better in songs like this and she did an amazing job. After Nightwish i like Epica most. Did you know the songs "Unchain Utopia", "The Skeleton Key" or "Kingdom of Heaven Part 3"? If not check them out, all from the virtual "Epica - Omega Alive" show she did last year, no 1 1/2 years ago now. I'm sure you would like this songs too and i think you would like the whole show. The Omega Alive show is a true masterpiece! At the end i will wish you a beautiful, successful and 🍸🍾Happy New Year🍾🍸! Keep care! Bye!
Hey Happy New Year from Bavaria/Germany. What a splendid idea to start the year with Floor acoustic. Perfect showcase for her unmatched vocal talent. Have a great year 2022 Sabina. 🐺🐺💥💥🤘🤘
I've had the pleasure of hearing this many times.....just love it! As usual, you brought out some things about their performance that I hadn't considered before, so thank you! Atb for an awesome 2022!!
The voice of Floor has always impressed me how it fills all the space harmoniously. This acoustic version feels amazing. Happy year 2022, nice reaction video.
This is my favourite song of the new album and I really prefer this acoustic version. 5:18 I am not sure if it can be considered a _mistake,_ but you can really hear Floor to take a deep breath and can expect what will follow.
Happy New Years Sabina babe 😘 !!! Love hearing Floors voice in a simple setting without the band. Hope you get to your reaction of the video I sent to your Patreon
A NIGHTWISH SONG HARDLY SEEN ON THIS CHANNEL FROM MARCO WITH NIGHTWISH. 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. The second also hardly on RU-vid, is a heavy Siren, The Siren performed live of course by Floor Jansen Enjoy it, and I with you! 🤘🏻❤️🇳🇱
Great reaction Sabina although I am sorry Henry missed this. I know she would have been a hot mess by the end but she would have loved it I am sure. Now that you mention it I wonder how the song of my self would sound unplugged and acoustic?
😘👍Thanks Sabina and happy new year I love this version and also her cover of Adagio But I love everything Floor does and with Nightwish for sure also Her ability to make each song her own and bring it with such strong emotion is out of this world😍
