THIS MADE ME FEEL A CERTAIN WAY "Ex Metal Elitist Reacts to Nightwish "Ghost Love Score" Live 

It's alright man, we all went through some deep feelings because of Nightwish and the "Floorgasms". You are part of the Nightwish army now. Welcome!!!

Tuomas has said that music belongs to everyone. The meaning you get from his songs is your own and does not need to be what he meant when he wrote it. Their music is deep, powerful, and thought-provoking as well as ear candy and super entertaining when they excel in their live performances. I call it Metal for grown-ups ;)

Play the songs to the end! Floor Jansen (singer) herself reacted to her own song on her channel. Fans wanted that, and she did. Since she is also a vocal coach, she explains the technical side of the song and she also talks about her experiences that evening. Extremely endearing, exciting, interesting. Extremely worth seeing.

Hey Cosmic Wolff. And yes, music can make you feel so much. And Nightwish does that for all of us. Welcome to the Nightwish Army. Loving these whole hearted reactions to our beloved Nightwish with Floor on lead vocals. Thank you.

Noticed in the 3 Reactions of Nightwish that I saw of yours that in each of them you had your mouth open in shock and amazement. At least I confirmed that I am not the only one the first time I heard these songs. I suspect there are a lot of other fans that would concur! Nightwish keeps finding a way to raise the bar! Enjoy the rest of your journey!

Chills= Floorgasms Fyi- you stopped the video before they were completely done. You never want to miss a single note with them.

There are some songs of NW which are very emotional, if you really listen to it. Tuomas is always telling storys. So having tears during a NW song only shows that you are empatic and alive. This song is about a unfulfilled love. And Floor always hits me at the end and during the beginning.

This concert has no off moments. Pick a song, and it'll be your next favourite. 🤘😎🤘 All amazing tracks performed brilliantly. And a HUGE shout out to the sound, lighting, and pyro crews at Waken. Respect!

The atmosphere is so special because the circumstances are special. The band was in survival mode after breaking up with Anette. Nobody knew how to proceed and whether Floor could withstand the strain. They would have canceled the tour, but needed the proceeds from the concert to cover the costs already incurred. Floor had only performed three concerts in the 18 months prior to Nightwish and was mostly in psychotherapy. Here in Wacken the situation is completely different. Floor was well received by the audience, had already internally agreed to be the new singer and the chemistry in the band was right again. The future of the band was secured. Floor's career had peaked within a short period of time. For the first time she is part of the headliner at one of the big festivals and sings in front of such a large audience for the first time. What she doesn't know yet, it will also be the end of her own band ReVamp. During the Nightwishtour she had prepared the recordings for the second album and released it afterwards. Ghost Love Score is a Tarja song and was sung by Tarja and Anette as an encore or at long concerts. With Floor it becomes part of the main program and the Argentina version is the first video to be released with Floor, a few weeks after her first appearance. In terms of content, Tuomas probably anticipates the breakup with Tarja. Tuomas started making personnel changes in 2001 and had forced the first bass player out of the band because of alcoholism. Marko was the ideal replacement. Even then there were rumors that Tarja would be next. The artistic and private differences between the "opera diva" and the "rock stars" had become too great. But they recorded another album together and in 2005 the break came. The end of the song was rewritten by Floor. In the original, the singing fades away slowly. In general, she reinterprets the vocals because she is a mix of her two predecessors and combines the advantages of both. Ghost Love Score is the song with the most reaction videos on RU-vid. Including one from Floor, where she describes her experiences with the song: Floor Jansen REACTS to Nightwish - Ghost Love Score (Wacken 2013)

Welcome to the Nightwish Army!!! YOU WERE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!

This feeling of chills and Tearing up is what we call The greatest Gift of our Valkyrie Floor: The Floorgasm.

On that 3rd of August it seems everything in the universe aligned resulting in one of the best concerts ever recorded. I know it sounds presumptuous, but check it out and you'll see I'm right. This concert has no weak spots, everything is as good as this song. Luckily for us there are more of these awesome concerts, Wembley 2015, Tampere 2015, Buenos Aires 2018 all recorded, all awesome. But THE best thing is seeing them live yourself. I'm high wired for days after seeing them. Enjoy the ride. Also Tuomas writes his music and lyrics when he knows what he wants to tell, every song is story in itself.

One of the reasons those "crazy cold chills" comes to us mortals, is that we recognize (it clicks) that one of the great ones, a 6 ft, dark haired metal goddess walks amongst us.

the background 'choir' sings: My fall will be for you My love will be in you You were the one to cut me, so I'll bleed forever

I think you’re starting to understand why Tuomas Holopainen the composer and keyboard player is called “the metal Mozart” and the front woman Floor Jansen is called the “Valkyrie Queen”! I call this song Nightwish’s Bohemian Rhapsody due to the complexity and changes of vocal technique.

Dead boys poem

Love the background choir just balling out at the end : My fall will be for you - My fall will be for you My love will be in you You were the one to cut me So I’ll bleed forever

Totally understand. Every time I hear Floor hit that last note especially, I completely lose it. Our Valkyrie Queen has that power 🖤🤘🏻

🤩👌💥💯 🎼 In certain situation on our earthly journey the line: "My fall will be for You" sits there in a profounding stool... 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙

Symphonic Metal with Nightwish and Floor, are living emotions that sucks you in, tells your mind a story you feel everywhere. The term 'Floorgasm' are the official _ and only word to cover these experiences Nightwish with Floor in front - gives us on mind and soul

Crazy cold chills, also known as Floorgasm

Yes, "my fall will be for you" is a great line! Can mean "I will set you free, by parting" or "I will fall in love with you only". Maybe both...

Storytime next! Great reaction !

Nightwish is one of my absolute favorite bands. It made me relive the pure joy of music again. I had also known about them for almonst 20 years but never really listened tothem for real. Rediscovered them with Wacken and Floor and have been hooked ever since. No band makes me FEEL the way Nightwish does. I'm really really looking forward to more Nightwish reactions, you have a new subscriber :D I also commented on the previous video when you requested sad songs that doesn't have to be metal - I highly, highly recommend Hi Ren by the artist Ren. It is sad in a very different way and it completely blew my mind in how artistic and relatable it is. It's an emotional rollercoaster for sure, especially if one has experience with depression and mental health.

You have Been obsessed with these live performances. Any Nightwish live performance is something special ( my family went to seen them in Birmingham last November) . BUT Wacken 13 is ultra special as possibly the concert of all concerts. The concert that introduced Floor to the European audience and the concert where Floor stamped her ownership of the entire back catalogue and her place as the voice of Nightwish. And within that concert, GLS. The most reacted to track. Floors heart and soul capturing epic. You say ‘You almost want to cry, but you don’t know why’. Exactly. My intro to Nightwish was jan 6 2022, Wacken 13 GLS, total and instant infatuation with the Valkyrie. You also give a lot of thought to the lyric. Everyone was their own interpretation of Tuomas words, just carry on listening and thinking along the Nightwish journey, you will not be disappointed.

wait for "The Poet and the Pendulum", a true rollercoaster-Masterpiece from Nightwish

I knew Nightwish for half of my life and forgot about them. I only recently found them again with Floor now and only now i fell so much in love with them. If i only would have known that 10 years ago when she started. For me she is the perfect match. Greetings from Germany the homeland of Wacken. 😉 I hope, next year they will be able to be at Wacken again. Without Marko but still...

yup this song always seems to drain me emotionally

I think this monologue from the movie Vision Quest explains how we all feel about this: "I was in the room here one day, watching the Mexican channel on TV. I don't know nothing about Pele. I'm watching what he does with a ball and his feet. Next thing I know, he jumps up in the air and flips into a somersault and kicks the ball in upside-down and backwards. The god damn goalie never knew what hit him. Pele gets excited, and he rips off his Jersey and starts running around the stadium, waving it around over his head. Everybody's screaming in Spanish. I'm here sitting alone in my room... And I start crying. Yeah, that's right. I start crying... Because another human being, a species which I happen to belong to, can kick a ball... And lift himself... And the rest of us sad-ass human beings up to a better place, if only for a minute. Let me tell you, kid. It was pretty god damn glorious." We cry because in that moment, in some small way, we as human beings, share a connection with Floor.

Floor's husband is the drummer for Sabaton, an excellent metal band that write military history songs. They are also recommended.

The stars were lined perfectly that day ❤

Saw them in Canada , what you see on video does not match the real thing of being there. Frigging FANTASTIC

Originally Floor was sent by Allfather Odhinn to Midgard to gather the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, but she got distracted and joined a series of bands. However, Floor still gathers souls by her grace, beauty and the sheer power of her vocals. We give thanks for her at our Blots regularly and hope that Odhinn won't notice that she has never returned to Asgard. ALL HAIL THE VALKYRIE GODDESS!!! The Nightwish Army is incoming! You're not ready! Nightwish Army Central Florida Black Company reporting for duty!

Nightwish is really good at triggering hidden emotions and memories. I really enjoyed your reaction video.

Welcome to the Nightwish community Cosmic

Those cold chills you were getting have a technical name. It is called a 'Floorgasm'. Get used to it, there are a lot more to come

When you put together the writing and composing skills of Tuomas, singing and storytelling skills of Floor, and bunch of first class musicians, this is what you get. It is not just music, it makes you feel. This music takes you on an emotional journey. Sometimes it is a happy one, sometimes it will wreck you, but either way you feel better at the end. As much as it rips your heart and soul open, it also repairs them. This music is at its best when you let it take over. If you feel like crying, cry. I can not count how many times I have shed tears listening to Nightwish and Floor.

Son the best live Singer ,best live band.

Floor is spectacular. It's almost like she is too good for this band. But Tuomas is a genius in his own right. How can you not love them?

Yeah, I teared up about the 20 first times I listened to it. It's a blade to the heart.

This song is about an unrequited love. 😄🤘

One of the most reviewed song on RU-vid 👌🖐️

My Queen Goddess casually mass healing her audience! Floorever! Try Poet and the pendulum....

I just watched all your Nightwish reactions, with a massive smile on my face i might add, and was just waiting for that moment that you'd say "i got chills". Because that is what we lovingly call, a "Floorgasm" and it is the one and only demand we have to be inducted into the NW Army, so.. that said, welcome to the Nightwish army my friend. This concert is flawless, every song is worthy of a reaction video, and the more of this very concert you see/hear, the more you start to realize that they go all-out 110% for the entire concert. And with that realization you also find that they are like the "freaking Duracell/Energizer bunny!" they just keep going and adding more and more layers and power in each and every song. Others will have said this already, "your favorite Nightwish song, is the next song you hear" and eventho that might be a huge claim, in case of Nightwish... it kinda is true. Now, you asked for suggestions, and i have plenty of those.. but... there is one band that has been forgotten over the decades that does deserve some love. So while they might be obscure to most people, i am going to suggest them regardless..: Blue Cheer - Peace of Mind. Blue Cheer, for a lack of a better description, was/is a psy/prog/Southern rock band with an incredibly "dirty" sound, "swamp-rock" if you will, as if Creedence Clearwater Revival went hard and dirty. "Peace of mind" also is a bit of a journey type of song that can grab your inner self and have you feel all sorts of ways, so.. who knows, you might be the first to that song? (yes, that obscure) Another song of theirs has gotten a few reactions, their cover of Eddie Cochran's "Summertime Blues", which was their biggest hit, but the song "Peace of mind" has sadly been overlooked time and time again. (another song, "Parchment farm", also happens to be criminally overlooked) Either way, i think you'd enjoy their music as well, and on a personal note, i feel that Blue Sheer deserves some renewed love and attention, but ofc that is all up to you and i would not fault anyone for not taking the risk that the unfamiliarity of the band name, could draw in only a handful of people to come and watch it, but then again... it has to start somewhere right? ;) A big ty for your reactions sofar, i've enjoy them a lot and am curious to see how big your channel can grow, so with that being said, catch you in the next reactions :)

glad to have you onboard ok, Lorna checked :) then what about getting surprised by a project with 11 main singers ? "Ayreon - The Day that the World breaks down"

GLS makes me, at times, strangely anthropomorphic. I imagine the amps and speakers quaking with fear whenever Floor takes the stage:)

Just wait there will be songs and then you will shed a tear. Greetings from the Netherlands.

Anyone who has truly loved and lost....this performance will get you. 😢

We like to joke, when a listener has *that* expression on his or her face, that it's "another soul for the Valkyrie goddess." The thing is, Nightwish and Floor *are* captivating, to a degree (for me, at least) that I've never experienced with any other band or singer.

Song #13 of the #15 song performance. Love it!

Empuu playes his signature EV-1 wich is based off of the ESP Horizon And Marco playes his Warwick Vampyre 4 string bass

Just wait till you hear the Founding Member/OG singer and Marko's The Phantom of the Opera from the "End of An Era" concert.

This music has more meaning and joy if you have those images and stories in your mind. greetings from Colombia

This is definitely one of my top 5 favs! OMG …… Floor! 😘❤️

Great reaction. Reminded me of my own flabbergasted reaction years ago when I first saw this. I had written off NW after Tarja left. Now I never listen to anything but Floor NW. She is the ruling Queen.

if this is making you cry wait for "the poet and the pendulum" or "dead boy's poem" they get me all the time! ( but before doing the Poet and the pendulum is needed some research on the history of the band to really appreciate it .

Crazy cold chills = Floorgasm

That's the difference between Nightwish and other bands - you don't hear the songs... you experience the music.

Hehehehe and to know that when you have made it through this show, you still have two out of the big three (The greatest show on Earth and The poet and the pendulum) + a ton of more amazing Nightwish songs left yo do.

New subscriber here, I`m been a member of the Nightwish Army for over 15 year`s . I watch the live concert`s every saturday night , pure perfection especially the one`s in Buenos Aires and Wembley Stadium. For the Human Nature tour the Hellfest concert is awesome. I wish they were going to have a tour when the new album comes out but maybe in 2026.

I tear up every time I hear it. It’s good to feel.

Well spoken reaction. Music is such a human mode of communication, it touches us all personally.

The Greatest Show on Earth is another beautiful song, from Wembly 2015. Its currently the longest song from Nightwish, but it is an amazing journey

Chills everytime.🎉🤘🤘

nightwish and the members of make wonderful symphonic metal and with such a strong singer like floor

Dude, you just summed it up perfectly. You almost want to cry but you dont know why! Nice rhyming too! Thats what Floor's voice and Nightwish make you feel! Great reaction videos my man, thank you! Subscribed!!!

Congratulations on your first "Floorgasm", I see many more in your future!

Nightwish runs the gamut from ballads, Celtic and more operatic to heavy metal. I can always find a song to fit my mood. And Tuomas never composes a gratuitous song - there is always a story and a deep meaning. The band members have been and are in other projects as well. There are all manner of fascinating rabbit holes this band can send you down. So happy you'll be continuing with Nightwish. Watching your face gives me great pleasure because I see the emotions and wonder I feel when I listen to them. Watching really good reactors like you is the next best thing to discovering NW for the first time. Subbed on the first NW you did and am looking forward to your journey of discovery.

Excellent reaction!🤘🎸

I used to think those legends of men falling for sirens in the sea were crazy until I heard this

From another reaction video about this song I started to listen Nightwish. I love them. Every song is a masterpiece. Thanks again dude.

Also when dive deeper to Nightwish you can't ignore Tarja that was their first vocalist. Listen to "Nemo" and "The Phantom Of The Opera". Lot of these songs are for Tarja from era when they were not so big and stage sound was not perfect like "Wacken" that you are listening now. Anette the third singer also had some really good studio albums. All of the Queens had their talent.

This is the Song You recomend ans show When you Introduce Nightwish to some one Else

Un coucou de l'armée NIGHTWISH de France, avec un peu de retard, très très bien et excellente réaction à l'écoute du plus grand groupe du monde pour ma part. Mais vous n'avez qu'effleuré le dessus de l'iceberg et vous n'êtes qu'a l'entrée du terrier de lapin. Je vous souhaite de bons floorgasmes et continuez vos réactions nous serons toujours derrière vous pour vous soutenir pour notre groupe...... Encore plus d'écoutes s'il vous plait...... Merci. Faites le festival Open Air Wacken 2013, vous êtes sur de ne pas vous tromper, vous venez d'écouté la chanson 13 sur les 15 du set complet et vous avez déjà écoutez la première et la 11 ème . Les quinze chansons du set sont des classiques pour tous les fans du groupe. Faites le Ever Dream qui commence comme une douce ballade voix piano et sur un signe de Marko ( le bassiste ) continue d'accélérer pour finir comme un train à grande vitesse, puis essayez une petite histoire comme storytimes ou alors du plus lourd avec Ghost River...... Et je pense que notre ami Gabriel devait arriver sous peu, ou retournez sur votre première réaction au groupe ( Un grand MERCI à Gabriel ) cliquez sur son nom et allez sur communauté, vous pourrez suivre sa liste en toute confiance avec les meilleurs mixages à la bonne vitesse et avec le meilleur audio. Continuez les filets du groupe sont tendus et il vous sera très difficile de vous en sortir, plus de NIGHTWISH s'il vous plait ........ Merci et à bientôt. Bonne écoute et un nouvel abonné ici.......

New subscriber here. I will follow your journey down the Nightwish rabbit hole. Welcome to the Nightwish army!

so glad you come later to this one and you didn't begin with it. You've got another eye on it and on the band

Enjoyed your reaction, just beware the Nightwish rabbit hole runs very deep - 😀

Hey Cosmic, love the reaction. Having never used drugs in my life, I could never understand people's urge for their next "fix" Then along comes Nightwish, and all of a sudden, you just can't get enough. I need the next song, and the next until you're hooked! (presuming this is what it's like to take drugs?) Then you dig deeper, and deeper and Tuomas keeps on giving, all of a sudden you can't live without Nightwish! The emotional rollercoaster this band takes you on is phenomenal. There are so many Nightwish songs for you to discover, but if you really want to hear a masterpiece, then you must try "Poet and the pendulum" This song is Tuomas's reaction to firing Tarja, and how his life was at that time. Very dark, deep and meaningful. See if you catch the 3 mins and counting section? look for the Wembley concert in 2015, the last time that they apparently play this live. Floor's vocals will haunt you for the rest of your life. Look for Marko and Emppu standing by Tuomas in support, the whole song, spoiler alert (written backwards) is a masterpiece. If you do not feel "something" listening to this song, I think you need to check for a heartbeat!

Welcome to the rabbitt hole called Nightwish. There is no turning back🤘🇫🇮 Check Storytime next😉

I really love your videos about how your discover nightwish! I've followed the band for 20+ years and it is so much fun to see people dive down this rabbit hole. I've met many "metal elitists" that just recognise the talent that this band has and it's the most fun. My husband took me into death and prog metal but Nightwish (especially live) just does it all for me every single time. I subbed!

Hi The Cosmic Wolff!... welcome to this amazing journey!...please react to "The poet and the pendulum" and "The greatest show on earth" both in Wembley 2015...greetings from Colombia!...

Nightwish sings the Soul back into remembering ..

New to the channel, I’m a surprised, GLS is usually the blind/first reaction to the band, the gateway drug, if you will. This song is easily top 10 all time fave songs for me, by anyone, and this is the best version of it I’ve heard

Brother i feel it too tonight it hit me harder than others. Also welcome to the family.

Dude, when you're done with Wacken you still have some great shows to check out, namely Wembley 2015, Tampere 2016, Buenos Aires 2018 and Hellfest 2022 - all are quite brilliant 🤘

You are new member of NW army. It glows from you XD Greetings from Finland

Fuck! I was about to watch some Peaky Blinders or Black Mirror from Netflix, but your Nightwish journey came across. Greetings from Finland🇫🇮, the home of Metal music!

I think it is "Storytime".))

Any live performance after this concert will feature Floor Jansen who for many is the best live vocalist in any band. Here she sings 14 songs plus there is an instrumental number and none were written for her but she nails every one usually adding some thing to each song, in this case the variety of vocals plus the ending. LOL

Here's the full concert: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cAwtzi7Q3Bk.html I bet you want... no, you'll need it one day. The description has timestamps to each song. Not my video, just forwarding on. ;) You're welcome.

Every Nightwish song makes you feel a certain way, this is intended. Each song can be summed up by an emotion that it evokes. This is because Tuomas is not only a master composer and poet, he is also a master psychologist. The key changes, the cord progression, the cadence and the lyrics are all targeted at achieving that goal. Even the color of the lights and the images on the screen behind them are carefully crafted by Tuomas to make you feel things that you didn't know that you needed to feel.

My fall was due to my wife, or my own fault. aall I know is music and NW is top 3 rock band ever. thanks for the reaction from Colorado. Keep on trucking Wolff

Brother.... the "My fall..." part always gets me. Especially the last part of the song where Floor reveals the depths of her own soul... so powerfully reflecting to us our own longings for true love. The way she sings it makes me feel hope for a connection that never dies and is as deep as the soul itself. Floor is so theatrical and magnificent, but she is so real. Profound.

Floorgasm..another soul claimed by the queen

Never be sorry or feel you need to explain yourself for reacting to songs from this live show, it is THE absolute fan favourite, almost every single songs was performed at Nightwish's peak performance with almost zero issues in musicianship or stage/audio tech. Even the band members think it was a magical one in a lifetime show, and Floor even has made a reaction video on YT about it! By people who have seen it, it is widely considered to be one of the best live sets ever performed by any band ps. if you want to listen to music that makes you feel and think, then Nightwish's album Human::Nature is the perfect album for that. Some of the song's subject matters are so brutal, heavy and utterly real

Great analysis/reaction, one of the best of the hundreds I've watched, to this epic performance💗

this is next level my friend,next level.

I think you are a very thoughtful person, and that makes Nightwish right up your alley. Tuomas writes songs that everyone can interpret in their own way. There are layers of meaning buried within each song. There are two songs in their catalog that I think you need to do a little research on before you dive into them. The first is The Poet and the Pendulum. That is a very powerful song and you need to understand the circumstances behind it -- the dismissal of Tarja, their first singer, and the backlash that followed. Make sure you read the open letter they sent to her, and her response letter. The second is The Greatest Show on Earth. Read the lyrics before on that one. It's full of science and is the story of evolution. There may be terms that you are not familiar with, though maybe not. At any rate, I will certainly be following along with your journey. I always say that watching someone fall in love with these songs is almost as good as when I discovered these songs in the first place.

I love them, I don't really know if it can be called unfortunate, but Nightwish never gets better than this set at Wacken. They peaked here, which is crazy since Floor was added in to this tour after it started(to be fair, it was a very, very long world tour and she was well seasoned by the time they got to this performance). They have not come close to matching this particular tour set since, although a couple other tracks from other venues from this tour shine on their own.

Thanks again for "doing" Nightwish and keep them coming (and I mean ...... all of their live performances). Suggestion: Another band (and also loved by many Nightwish-fans) is *EPICA* from the Netherlands (with Floor's long time friend Simone Simons). Just a song to begin with is *_"Unleashed"_* : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--Zthr3-Ml5Q.html This "Retrospect-show" is from the 3rd live album by Dutch symphonic metal band Epica in celebration of their tenth anniversary. The recorded live show took part in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Because of the great demand by international fans, Epica announced a live stream, called the Retrostream, on March 4, 2013. Epica performed on stage with the same orchestra that accompanied Epica in the recording of the live album The Classical Conspiracy: the 70-piece Extended Hungarian Remenyi Ede Chamber Orchestra and the Choir of Miskolc National Theatre.
