    R.I.P Ann Waychoff mother of the Nightwish Army.
    June 28th, 2020 .
    Ann was a big Nightwish Fan.
    And every new person who listened to NW, she went through a little chat.
    And gave them some info about NW.
    This was her favorite song.
    And this song belongs to her.

      I get what he exactly what he was saying and I get it as you describe. I have totally felt as if under a "spell" by Floor and for me "Song of Myself" is a perfect example of that. The melody has a haunting feel and even Floor's movements on stage emit a feeling that something supernatural is happening. And then there are many songs where she delivers a feeling of, as you say, reaching right in and touching my soul. Floor singing "Sleeping Sun" does that to me every time.

    Lady....that is a term I very rarely use in conjunction with a female...because most women these days are not. But I have to say that Floor Jansen is a lady in every way you can think of. She is a demon on the stage, takes you on a journey whether you wished to go or not, but IRL she is a gentle soul who cares. She made a cover of Let it go from frozen because her little one runs around singing that all the time. I think she got the idea to start posting cover videos from her time doing Beste Zangers, from Emma Heesters. I think you would love the cover she did of Adagio. Thank you for your lovely reaction.....watching you space out reminded me of the first time I saw this video. Calgary NWA division checking out. Peace.

    A few things:
    Just saw that you have a Jinjer reaction. Floor also growls and screams, but we don't get to hear her use the technique very much in Nightwish, however she did use growls frequently in her previous band ReVamp. She can cut from a growl to an operatic head voice in the span of a single note. "Yours is an Empty Hope" is one of the few Nightwish songs where she uses the technique as a backing vocal for Marko. czcams.com/video/vyLsU7Q333k/video.html
    The band is refreshingly free of egos and we see it here as Marko sings the chorus as lead while Floor drops into a backing role, then cuts back to lead for the rest of the song. They're excellent at managing their volumes to match the other. Floor will back away from the spotlight when other band members have their turn to shine.
    Nightwish was the Wacken headline act in 2013 performing in front of 82,000. This concert was effectively Floor's introduction to the European metal scene as the Nightwish lead singer. The band had been on tour for the previous 10 months when Floor joined the band in Seattle as the emergency replacement for Anette Olzon and had 48 hours to learn the setlist.

      @@HighlyCombustibleReacts Hey, on another note, you might consider reacting to Rammstein. The songs that reactors normally start with are either "Du Hast" live in Paris or "Ich tu dir weh" live at Madison Square Garden. They also have some great music video's of "Deutschland" and "Ohne Dich". As you've probably guessed they are a German band that sings in German. I speak enough German to understand them but I think I'd like them anyway.I also think I've heard that they might give reactors copyright problems by playing the music video's but the production is really great. Anyway something to think about. See you on your next video.

    This is a very powerful and intense performance. The song is inspired by the Walt Whitman's poem. The album version (Imaginaerum, 2011, sung by the former singer, Anette Olzon) is much longer containing narrated text section. I particularly armire Jukka's work with his china there.

This is her 3rd band and she's been singing professionally since she was 16 as a band singer. Her 1st band After Forever and 2nd Revamp. She calls herself a vocal technique nerd and is a highly sensitive person.

    HxC, realize the live performances only covered part 1-3. On the studio album there is also a part 4 which content a part of a famous Poem.
    Songfacts®:
    This epic thirteen and a half minute studio track is divided into four parts and was inspired by Nightwish keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen about the poet Walt Whitman (1819-1892), and his famous free verse poem of the same name. The song includes a six-minute recitation of the Transcendentalist poem. He explained to Metal Hammer magazine: "I wanted to pay homage to him and do the lyrics in a way that he would possibly write. It's a real, open, thorough, personal catharsis - especially the spoken-word part."
    Part 1. From a Dusty Bookshelf
    (Instrumental intro) (0’00” - 0’23”)
    Part 2. All That Great Heart Lying Still.
    (0’23” - 3’35”)
    The nightingale is still locked in the cage
    The deep breath I took still poisons my lungs
    An old oak sheltering me from the blue
    Sun bathing on its dead frozen leaves.
    A catnap in the ghost town of my heart
    She dreams of story time and the river ghosts
    Of mermaids, of Whitman's and the ride
    Raving harlequins, gigantic toys.
    A song of me song in need
    Of a courageous symphony
    A verse of me verse in need
    Of a pure-heart singing me to peace.
    All that great heart lying still and slowly dying.
    All that great heart lying still on an angelwing.
    All that great heart lying still
    In silent suffering
    Smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end
    What is left for encore
    Is the same old dead boy's song
    Sung in silence.
    All that great heart lying still and slowly dying.
    All that great heart lying still on an angelwing.
    A midnight flight into Covington Woods
    A princess and a panther by my side
    These are territories I live for
    I'd still give my everything to love you more.
    A song of me song in need
    Of a courageous symphony
    A verse of me verse in need
    Of a pure-heart singing me to peace.
    All that great heart lying still and slowly dying.
    All that great heart lying still on an angelwing.
    Now all that great heart lying still
    In silent suffering
    Smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end
    What is left for encore
    Is the same old dead boy's song
    Sung in silence.
    All that great heart lying still and slowly dying.
    All that great heart lying still on an angelwing.
    Part 3. Piano Black
    (3’35” - 6’53”)
    A silent symphony
    A hollow opus one, two, three
    Sometimes the sky is piano black
    Piano black over cleansing waters
    Resting pipes, verse of bore
    Rusting keys without a door.
    Sometimes the within is piano black
    Piano black over cleansing waters
    All that great heart lying still and slowly dying.
    All that great heart lying still on an angelwing.
    All that great heart lying still on an angelwing.
    All that great heart lying still on an angelwing.
    All that great heart lying still on an angelwing.
    Part 4. Love
    (6’53” - 13’30”)
    I see a slow, simple youngster by a busy street, with a begging bowl in his shaking hand. Trying to smile but hurting infinitely
    Nobody notices. I do, but walk by.
    An old man gets naked and kisses a model-doll in his attic. It's half-light and he's in tears. When he finally comes his eyes are cascading.
    I see a beaten dog in a pungent alley. He tries to bite me. All pride has left his wild drooling eyes. I wish I had my leg to spare.
    A mother visits her son, smiles to him through the bars. She's never loved him more.
    An obese girl enters an elevator with me. All dressed up fancy. A green butterfly on her neck. Terribly sweet perfume deafens me. She's going to dinner alone. That makes her even more beautiful.
    I see a model's face on a brick wall.
    A statue of porcelain perfection beside a violent city kill. A city that worships flesh.
    The first thing I ever heard, was a wandering man telling his story. It was you, the grass under my bare feet.
    The campfire in the dead of the night.
    The heavenly black of sky and sea.
    It was us. Roaming the rainy roads
    Combing the gilded beaches.
    Waking up to a new gallery of wonders every morn. Bathing in places no-one's seen before. Shipwrecked on some matt-painted island. Clad in nothing but the surf. Beauty's finest robe.
    Beyond all mortality we are swinging in the breath of nature. In early air of the dawn of life. A sight to silence the heavens.
    I want to travel where life travels. Following its permanent lead. Where the air tastes like snow music. Where grass smells like fresh-born Eden.
    I would pass no man, no stranger, no tragedy or rapture. I would bathe in a world of sensation. Love, Goodness, and Simplicity. (While violated and imprisoned by technology) The thought of my family's graves was the only moment. I used to experience true love.
    That love remains infinite. As I'll never be the man my father is. How can you "just be yourself" when you don't know who you are? Stop saying "I know how you feel". How could anyone know how another feels? Who am I to judge a priest, beggar, whore, politician, wrongdoer? I am, you are, all of them already. Dear child, stop working, go play, forget every rule. There's no fear in a dream. "Is there a village inside this snowflake?"
    A child asked me: "What's the color of our lullaby?" I've never been so close to truth as then I touched its silver lining.
    Death is the winner in any war. Nothing noble in dying for your religion, for your country, for ideology, for faith, for another man, yes.
    Paper is dead without words. Ink idle without a poem. All the world dead without stories. Without love and disarming beauty. Careless realism costs souls
    Ever seen the Lord smile? All the care for the world made beautiful a sad man?
    Why do we still carry a device of torture around our necks? Oh, how rotten your pre-apocalypse is. All you bible-black fools living over nightmare ground. I see all those empty cradles and wonder. If man will ever change.
    I, too, wish to be a decent manboy. But all I am, is smoke and mirrors. Still given everything, may I be deserving. And there forever remains that change from G to E minor. (Gem, in Tuomas Movie Imaginaerum is the name of the main character’s daughter)
