![LM. 08.1 [REACTION] Nightwish - Shoemaker (English subtitles)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Gwa2vX2xbUI/mqdefault.jpg)
So ,... Eugene Merle Shoemaker (April 28, 1928 - July 18, 1997) was an American geologist. He co-discovered Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with his wife Carolyn S. Shoemaker and David H. Levy. This comet hit Jupiter in July 1994: the impact was televised around the world. Shoemaker also studied terrestrial craters, such as Barringer Meteor Crater in Arizona, and along with Edward Chao provided the first conclusive evidence of its origin as an impact crater. He was also the first director of the United States Geological Survey's Astrogeology Research Program.
He was killed in a car accident while visiting an impact crater site in Australia. After his death, some of his ashes were carried to the Moon with the Lunar Prospector mission.
The spoken word in this is done by Tuomas Holopainen's Wife Johanna Kurkela ( a section from Romeo And Juliet is also carved Eugene's urn ).
"Shoemaker" has become a favorite song of NASA's scientific community. Tuomas has a deep inclination towards science and this is reflected in many of his plays. This ensured the entry of Nightwish into the history books of science, several discoveries in the field being named after them. These new discoveries include: Alpenglow Rockshelter: Archaeological site named after Nightwish Song. Tanidromites Nightwishorun: New Crab species. Sciophila Holopaineni: New species of Mosquito found in Finland. Ophiomitrella Floorae: New species of Cretaceous brittle star named after Floor Jansen. Tmesisternus floorjansenae: new species of beetle named after Floor.
Song from Human. :II: Nature and it is a Masterful Album !!!!
I have experienced this "Live" and to be honest, even though I have listened this song a 100 times, the up close and personal experience destroyed me completely. It was that Powerful...
NWSU 🤘🥲🤘.
The ending is my favorite vocal performance by Floors. If you really want to feel the full emotional impact of it, treat yourself to the Hellfest version of it. And bring the tissue box 😉
Noted!
I concur!!!

I concur.
This is true. That show has the same ending/outro as for all the current tour - All The Works of Nature Which Adorn the World - Ad Astra which has a similar feel.
The Hellfest version unfortunately has a minute of video blackout but is back in time for the end of the bow and for Floor to step up and do the vocal. IMO it outdoes all the others I've seen recorded (though seeing it live at Wembley was special).
Every time I watch it, even though I know it's coming, I have to hold on to my chair. Jynger - do yourself a favour and after you watch the Hellfest Shoemaker, watch the outro. But be prepared
In memory of Eugene Shoemaker. The only person to rest in peace on the moon.
Such a beautiful song 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
The Romeo & Juliet quote was on the plaque that carried his ashes to the moon
The Romeo and Juliet quote was read by Tuomas's wife, Johanna Kurkela💞
Another example of the pure and undiluted genius of Tuomas Holopainen. Who else could reference Shakespeare in song, and apply it to a brilliant 20th century scientist who taught our astronauts to be our explorers to the secrets of the universe, which was on the plaque accompanying his remains. The line that I appreciate so very much is the "cut into little stars," as Eugene Shoemaker was cremated prior to having his ashes deposited on the moon, and what is a more appropriate description of cremation than being cut into little stars. At this moment, Dr. Shoemaker is the only human with the honor of being buried "off earth," and on the destination to which he so desperately wish to travel to explore. At some point, I am very sure, for a fee you will have the option of joining him ... as soon as somebody can design a method in which to make themselves ridiculously wealthy in the process. But for now, he remains the one and only, and he is rightfully immortalized in the music of the preeminent genius composer of my lifetime (IMHumbleO) and the voice of the greatest voice of my generation (also IMHO). I find it very beautiful and fitting than Tuomas had his wife, Johanna Kurkela perform the speaking part of the quotation from Shakespeare. For those who have not yet heard the incredible music of AURA (Tuomas, Troy and Johanna) let this be the call for you to do so as soon as humanly possible. Jynger, yet again another touching and wonderful opportunity to "spend a little time" with you - as distant as it might be. You are so expressive that I feel as though I know you as a very dear friend, and I appreciate that. Thank you for sharing once again. BTW - Nightwish currently ends their concerts with the five brilliant men standing in a line across the stage, while Floor performs "Ad Astra" (the ethereal ending of this song). It is a sign of great respect from the band, but also unbelievable that she accomplishes it to perfection night after night.
Chills and tears when they perform this live! Soooo good!
Originally, in 2020, Nightwish announced that this song will not be part of the tour setlist because it is a bit challenging to perform.
However, fans all over the world wanted to include it and Nightwish listened to their fans and finally decided to include it in the set list.
Based on my own experience, I can say, it was a successful decision!
When Nightwish performed this song and Floor started the last part, the audience (some thousands, 8000?) became completely silent, no one moved, as if everyone was petrified for a small moment, everyone wanted to absorb that moment, it was a majestic emotional experience!
Without doubt one of the most moving Nightwish songs I have experienced. I will never forget the first time I heard this as I walked late at night gazing up at the stars. I had to stop in my tracks and looked up into the heavens..I was totally choked up. Just the music, Floor´s divine voice and me feeling so small in this vast universe.
Well said sir
I love this homage to Eugene Shoemaker
Yes, it is so beautiful. I also love their hommage to Carl Sagan (2015); unfortunately this song is not on one of their albums, only available as a single.
I had the same reaction when I saw them perform this song live. I was shaking my head in disbelief. To be fair, I did this several times during the concert. They are that good.
Seeing Floor standing about 30 feet in front of me and hearing her sing the final operatic climax was one of the most epically beautiful things I have ever experienced. It was otherworldly.
Imagine being 5 to 6 rows back watching Floor and Nightwish perform this live right in front of you. She was maybe 15 to 20 feet away. It's still burned into my brain. Simply one of my 2022 highlights. This song has become required Nightwish listening. So happy to see you enjoy it!
Still feeling my goosebumbs as I heard it live last week!! Epicness!
The way Floor drops from a high note into a low note is just divine
No one ever thought it possible but even this one is better live!
I saw them in May and it was the highlight of the show.
you should definitely grab a Live version like the one from Hellfest 2022 then you can see the reactions of the audience.
no matter how many times I watch the video of Shoemaker Live Hellfest 2022 Floor gets me every time and I'm in tears watching and listening again
unreal🤘🤘👀👀
Its majestic
Yes 👍
Laudato Si Ad Astra roughly translates to Praise to the stars. What a great song.
I really hope Doctor Shoemaker's family know about this tribute to him. The spoken Shakespeare quote is by Tuomas' wife Johanna, who herself is a fine singer. You could see her in 'A Lifetime of Adventure' which Tuomas wrote to honour Don Rosa the cartoonist known for The Scrooge McDuck stories. It sounds an unlikely idea but honestly it's good!
I'd be happy to like this comment 100 times.
I concur
@@NickBR57 Same here!
I have understood Tuomas checked first the lyrics and then the song with his widow before putting them forward.
Nightwish with Floor, they bring me so much happiness with their amazing music, lyrics, vocals. Every song again. They bring me tears, goosebumps and smiles during their concerts when you see they really love what they are doing. Thanks for your reaction , see you Jynger, bye!!!!!
Your gonna love this one
It’s your journey going down the worm hole that’s Nightwish! I’m enjoying reliving my emotional journey of Nightwish thru you on my over 20 plus years. It’s your path and no matter what path you chose it’s magical! Have a great holiday! God Bless be safe hope you feel better! Rock on Stay Safe!🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thank you my friend!
Human nature album what a great album, there are no words for Tuomas writers art...the lyrics the music...
and Floor singing... the Live version from Hellfest is Epic too
And we’ve dipped into to Human :||: Nature! Try the “Noise” lyric video and the Noise live from Islander Arms (first time they performed the song in public during the pandemic)
Also, for some context on Shoemaker:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Merle_Shoemaker
Thank you my friend!
Performance from Deichbrand is my FAVORITE. Hellfest is also awesome
I always love the choice of words Tuomas uses in his music... so refreshing & thought provoking!!
The first time I heard Floor singing the end of this live in the virtual show, I did bawl.
It was the most emotional I'd felt in ages and up till that point the band said it was too hard to perform live... and they did anyway, it was earth shattering to see Floor do it.
They’ve been using the Ad Astra piece as a sort of encore at shows lately, after Greatest Show. The band comes out and bows, then they separate and stand in line, Floor steps forward, and sings that part, holding the last note for 15-17 seconds. It is pretty awesome. Here it is from the Deichbrand Festival in Germany a few months ago. czcams.com/video/-Od35cxdpXk/video.html
That's the Ad Astra movement from All the Works of Nature which Adorn the World.
I have a very good friend who is a descendant of Eugene Shoemaker. The family had no idea this song existed. I sent it to her and she put it on her family Facebook group. They loved it. I request, how's the heart, ACOUSTIC.
I love the fact that Floor in lates Shoemaker performances jokes about the complexity of singing it with all those ups and downs, like a rollercoaster of high and low notes, and says it's more like a "sing along" song. Knowing that the lyrics are pretty much a tongue twister lol.
PS: The excerpt read by Johanna aka Tuomas wife, followed by that magnificent finale with Laudato Si Ad Astra ALWAYS leaves me tearful
Yes that's her intro to it now and it's a good one. Good that you pointed it out.
that is what its all about (feeling something) and not just music no one does it better then NIGHTWISH
Tears rolled out of my eyes again at the last part. Can't help it. The last part of the song is just overwhelmingly emotional and vulnerable. It's like what would play as you're lowered into the ground as you lay in your casket. The big finale. Great choice.
One of the most moving Nightwish songs and live omg I bawled at the end of this song when I saw them in May
This had me in tears live last month. So powerful!
Seeing this live last May was definitely a highlight….this band is fantastic live!
No surprise that the tears began to well Jynger, it happens to many of us. Toumas was quoted as saying that "music is what emotions sound like" ... I don't think that's true of all music, but it sure as hell is for his. And Floor's voice is simply unearthly. She has a way of reaching in to your soul, and giving it a warm and comforting hug. She is the gift that keeps on giving. Love you reactions, and I look forward to the next one. Cheers from Australia. :)
When I saw this performance live, it blew my mind. It actually made me appreciate the studio version more.. in that I can picture this live. Everyone one around us was brought to tears. Kinda cool.
Also. That ending is so unexpected that it hits you like a ton of bricks!
Jynge, what a beautiful soul you are.
With all your reactions, all I look at is you.
Your face, your eyes convey it all.
You are just a beautiful soul.
We love you, Thank you.
Her voice touches your soul and leaves you imbued for life.
You are beautiful.
😊🤗❤
Genius,what a beauty,the end is amazing❤️❤️❤️
Laudato Si
Ad Astra😇
You're gonna love this album. I recommend the official lyric videos like this one you picked.❤️🥰
Tuomas wanted to challenge Floor vocally on this song / this album and, he did! But.....
She kills every song!!!!
This song is not only about the discoverer of the causes of the craters on the Earth and the moon Eugene Shoemaker, but also about one of the causes named after him, among others: Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 Eugene Merle Shoemaker was an American geologist, astronomer, comet hunter and aspiring astronaut.
Eugene Shoemaker was the first to recognize the significance of impact craters to Earth's geology. In addition to craters, he also became interested in the objects that caused them, and set up a long-term research program. In this program his wife Carolyn showed a talent for discovering small differences on photographic plates. The search resulted in the discovery of 32 comets and 40 asteroids, most with orbits within Earth's. This search resulted in the discovery of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 in 1993 and its impact on the planet Jupiter a year later. Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 (SL9 for short with official designation D/1993 F2) is a comet of which 21 fragments fell on the planet Jupiter between 16 and 22 July 1994. Some of those parts had a diameter of 2 kilometers.
You would be delighted to see and hear this song live. ❤
Great stuff as ever! I had the enormous pleasure of seeing them perform this song live last month in the UK. A 52 year old rocker with tears rolling down his cheeks in an arena full of similarly affected folks! 😉🤟
Hope you gonna experience that song live one day. I was told that this song wouldn’t be play live…that was sad because I had chills the first time I’ve listen this song on the album… but they play this song every night during the tour…and that ending when Floor sing…the chills I had with the album was nothing…out of this world! 🤘
(Pre-watch comment) Hey, I'm wearing the hoodie that matches your shirt. Anticipating BIG smiles and giddiness from this one.
(Post watch) The smiles and all came after you watched it. I forgot how powerful a first listen to this is, so that makes sense. Fun fact, to hear and see this live, is even more powerful, be sure to check that out. I suggest the Nightwish live at Deichbrand from 2022, the lighting adds an additional wow factor!
It's just extra special when can go back later and find the inspiration for the song and it has an amazing story all on its own. When you take a read about Eugene Shoemaker's life the lyrics in the song just make so much since.
Must watch live versions. Crowd really gets into the ending. Many up now
This song, live at Hellfest 2022. Its pure insanity
I concur
Her voice touches your soul.
One of my favorite song from the album human/nature along with Noise and Tribal... I was happy that you played this one as the first from their new album.. Nightwish is the bomb and I wish you a good night..😉 🤘
Awesome awesome song goosebumps and tears every time I listen to it and it sounded just as awesome when I saw them [ some them perform it live xx
Thanks again JS, loved your reaction!
I've been following the band for over two decades so I know very well that feeling of how they manage to surprise you... What an amazing group of people.
10k getting closer, can't wait that live consert stream!
🤘💥💥🤘
Goosebump song everytime!
Gonna see them in Prague dec. 21’st (first time ever 🙏❤️🎸🎤) and I especially look forward to this song. I just LOVE it and it brings so many emotions to you 🥰🥰🎹🎹👏
This song live is awesome you have to listen to it
It is said there ar seven wonders of the world!......strike one out because Floor with Nightwish if in the seven!.....live it is musical perfection!...
Atualmente a apresentação dessa música na Hellfest de 2022 é minha preferida. Floor é majestosa no final.👨🎤 Tudo fica ainda mais emocionante quando vc conhece a história que inspirou a composição. Tem um reaction de um padre franciscano canadense que é maravilhoso.
Hearing and seeing this ending live was a major slap in the face for me... 😅💜
I always enjoyed this song, but once I saw the live version from this past summer, it just took on a whole new feeling for me.
Seeing Floor performing it live, hits me in the feels every time.
NICE! As soon as I saw the notification that you had uploaded this, I just had to go check it out!
Something noteworthy about the ending of the song with the operatic vocals is how she navigates in the "passaggio", the area where a voice transitions from one register to the other. Any professional opera singer would be impressed with how well this was done. Higher notes are much easier for a soprano voice, and we all love to hear Floor up in that range, but vocally I find the lower notes to be equally impressive, for example just before the male "ad astra" vocals come in and just before the final verse. For her to be able to put that much power into notes in that lower range is a real testament to her training, skill and maybe most of all, natural talent. I think most people love great voices that are in ranges that they themselves either struggle with or can't do at all. Personally, I have a baritone/bass voice, and I love listening to sopranos because that's an area that I just can't do - even male tenor is a struggle. And I find that many women tend to love bass voices for that same reason. Just watch some of the female reaction channels when they are listening to Tim Foust or Jeff Castellucci. 😄 Something funny is seeing people's reactions to extremely low female contralto voices. Diana Ankudinova is a contralto, and it's hilarious watching people's reactions to her singing. She has a power in her lower register that is really something to behold. She gets down into lower male tenor territory and her resonance is almost alien - it doesn't seem real. If you get a chance, you might check out her cover of Elvis' song Can't Help Falling In Love. The ending of that song is just as crazy as the ending of Shoemaker!
czcams.com/video/SY3OZVmfGVw/video.html
And since you recognized that little riff of Enter Sandman in Greatest Show On Earth and seem to be a Metallica fan, you should check out the piano version of Metallica's Nothing Else Matters by Gamazda. She is an exceptional pianist, and just watching her hands when she plays this song is mesmerizing. It makes me regret never having learned to play piano. The way she plays this, it's not hard to see the connection between metal and classical, and it's not hard to envision Nothing Else Matters as something that Beethoven might have composed. A beautiful dark piece in a minor key like this would have been right up his alley. I love both classical and metal music, and though I am by no means an outwardly emotional person, that cover is beautiful and will make me tear up a bit. Might even be good material for a reaction video.
czcams.com/video/DmL12NRE4hQ/video.html
"Shoemaker " is not about a shoe-smith, but a tribute to Gene Shoemaker an American geologist and one of the founders of the field of planetary science, and with NASA's help (moon landing) the first and only person to be buried off-world. .
The last bit of that song sounds like a Terminator movie 😂
Hear Hear, Hellfest version you also get Floor's feeling with it... And Jynger, don't worry, you will never grow tired of Nightwish. Get well and see you next time.
I always get a massive chill and goosebumps exactly where you did - great reaction 🤘
I was yesterday in Stuttgart OMG it was such a pleasure to listen to this great Musicians especcially
FLOOR
PS: Let the the tears flow ....it means you feel the music right ( i know it)^^
Greetings from Germany
so powerful this is ladies & gentlemen so incredibly beautiful
Yeeeesss! A new rabbit hole within another one. I love this album. Definitely do Noise lyric video first before other versions.
The ending of Shoemaker is my favorite part!
The ending is live just as good as in this video..
I heavily recommend the video for “noise” and Sabaton “Christmas truce” make sure you watch and listen to the credits.
Saw floor sing it at Wembly last month great show ..
A masterpiece. Unexplainable genius is Tuomas!
Heard this live last year totally blew me away and to tears and I’m 54
One of the very few songs where I prefer to see the video rather than the live performance.I think you would have reacted much more emotionally if you had known the background to this song.But the opera part at the end really hit you.Once again, you reacted wonderfully. It's always a pleasure to watch you.
As powerful as this sounds, there is no comparison to hearing Floor and her brothers do this live. Goosebumps on the hottest day of the year, it's so damn powerful 🤘🏽
Loved that! If you want a deeper emotional dive into Floors opera vocals, you should check out the Shoemaker Hellfest 2022 performance! 🙌
"Wow, there it is..." Same for me... EVERY TIME! It's at the first tone at Laudato., Again tnx for sharing!
I see this twice live … and everytime the end of the song gives my something of a religious experience
Your Nightwish journey ‘I never want it to end’. I love your reactions, both for your reaction and the excuse it gives me a to take a fix of Nightwish. In my opinion(for what it’s worth) Shoemaker is not one of Nightwish stronger numbers UNTIL you know the back story. Then it all slots into place and it becomes a huge story told with brilliance. The Romeo and Juliette extract could almost have been written with Shakespeare having Mr Holopainen’s future work somehow already in mind. Then Laudato. The shining climax of the piece. Floor somehow surpassing everything her greatest fans were expecting. I was eagerly awaiting seeing Laudato ‘hit you’. Yes, tissues almost obligatory. Self, wife and daughter honoured to be present at Birmingham concert last month to hear the Goddess go operatic, IN LATIN. We would have been more than ecstatic with Laudato, but to receive the Valkyrie concert closing gift of AD ASTRA…..!!!!!!
Last time I suggest this. You will get to them eventually. THE WARNING. A trio of sisters from Mexico. If you like Rock&Roll, you will love these girls. They are reviving the genre. Check out EVOLVE, CHOKE, REVENANT. Those would be a good start.
Great choice, Jynger! I bought the album before I saw this video, and saw this video before I saw it performed live. It was a winner from the very beginning. What a composition! You should check out a live performance or two when you can. When Floor starts the operatic ending, huge audiences fall silent, hands held to the sky, as she nails it every time. It is among the most powerful Nightwish moments to witness. Many thanks!
their entire catalog,, take a dart, blindfolded, and EVERY strike will be a HIT
That last part is soooo amazing!!!
Now checkout the live version @ Hellfest or Diechbrand.......Amazing
Loved your comment on this beautiful song. Floor is absolutely incredible doing this live in every performance on this 2022 world tour. You aren't the only one with the tears. By the way, although it is only a fan video, it is very good quality and well worth watching the acoustic performance by Floor and Troy of a Nightwish song they have never performed live before their show in Hamburg on December 12th, 2022. This video comes from their show at Gliwice, Poland on December 14th. Incredibly beautiful.
czcams.com/video/xlRz0CY3EVY/video.html
I heard that people at NASA love this song.
Chills and massive goosebumps every single time she hits those "Laudato"s and "Ad Astra"s... I witnessed that live and is breathtaking!
It's so good. When I heard it first. I didn't think this could be sung live because it's so profound. Yes. this song is performed flawlessly night after night on their current tour. Amazing musicians. Great reaction.
the best thing about the pandemic was that Tuomas and the band had time to think about how they could perform the song live!
@@mnewm21 And Floor, this is her Song.🤘
I get constant chills every time Floor sings like that! She is such an amazing person and singer!
Troy's voice in this is wonderful
One of their best albums
The whole Human : | : Nature Album is fantastic. The end of this song is.....well...I can't think of enough words to describe to describe how beautiful Floor sounds... Oh....maybe Superlative is the word.
Thanks for another fantastic reaction video!
NIGHTWISH 🎶 Shoemaker Pinkpop 2022 the best
Thx for the reaction and Have a nice Christmas. I know I won't a muscle from home. Just eat, check movies, documentaries. Keep warm. Already done my "Christmas" visits ahead of time. Cya next year I suppose. Lol
Doesn't matter if you hear this song for the 1st or the 1000th time, that ending ALWAYS bring the onion ninjas.
Excellent. That's the same tour shirt I bought at the London concert.
I love this song, lovely emotional reaction. I watched a monk react to this he wasn't English so I had no idea, what he was on about but he really got into it and was very emotional at the end. Hope you feel better soon.
Thank you my friend!
always fun watching your nightwish reactions. nice tshirt, and also you look and sound fine LOL hope u feel better soon tho
Saw this live in Lowell and then NYC the following night. Talk about an out-of-body experience...
Epic ending so beautiful..can be compared with your smile maby..❤️👍
