- Wellllll, this hit me a LOT harder than I was expecting. Take care of yourselves, everyone. Take care.
*maybe check back afterwords for this bit.
I know I still have it pretty good. Many more people are having a worse time in life than me. My reaction here isn't a call for pity or help, it is a moment captured. It is stress revealed to an unknowing host.
Thank you,
Mear
A grown man infront of his computer, listening to Nightwish covering Pink Floyd, leaves the room cuz he need to take a breather from all the emotion they put in a COVER SONG, is one of the most beautiful and touching things i have seen and felt in a very long time. Great reaction, Ryan. Wishing you a well recovery with your arm, you'll be shredding again in no time!
Thank you🤜🤛
🙄 there's no need to "correct" people. Nightwish covered the song... as a tribute to Pink Floyd.
I'm usually quiet, but I'm here always, Ryan. You resonate with this song in a way I didn't saw before, because your personal stress moment. But that tension you felt was always there in this performance, you just pointed it. It's good that you brought this to light, because now you can deal with it on a conscious level. It is better that way, to identify the problem consciously, because your decisions will be conscious then.
Their music really has the quality to bring to light something of us all, it is so deep.
Thanks, Gabriel🤜🤛
A true reaction with no words needed. When you walked away we all knew!!!!
This is why we listen Nightwish, emotion what they can bring to us... All kind of. Another song where Emppu give a straight face solo is Dead boys poem. And it really make you feel sad when you see Emppu like that, usually he is smiling.
While it's nice to watch Emppu smiling and goofing around and having fun, I actually like to see him serious, too. It gives him more depth. ❤️
✨Sure Emppu is not happy. This is the final concert with Tarja..she dont know, but the rest of the band does know that they will fire her just after the concert. With that knowledge, there is some moments at this concert where you almost can "feel" there frustration. If you search for "Nightwish - open letter" you can read the letter they gave her - and also find her answer. Powerfull reading!✨ Very very fine reaction Ryan!
Yan, I've read it...yeesh. I was never in a band that meant anything to anyone but us, and the bass player decided here wasn't going to play certainareas of northern Indiana. So I could hire another bass player to cover those shows, or replace him. His house was where we practiced, and he had the contacts. But I told him he was done. We had one more show after that, he intentionally fucked up a couple songs, we made it through, he split afterwords. I don't have the immensity of the feeling, but I understand it a bit.
You are the first reactor I watched who noticed the nod Tuomas gave to Emppu. It shows how much you feel for them. Imo they made this song better than the original. Often from miserable feelings the most beautiful songs were/are created and that stirs emotions. I thank you for this reaction Ryan and I hope you have a have a speedy recovery so that you an do which you like most...making music. Take care!
Playing, singing songs with Tarja knowing what was about to go down after the concert must have stirred emotions in each of the guys. But performing a song without Tarja, and the concrete realization: Ok guys, it's the 4 of us after tonight, this is what is left of Nightwish, we are Nightwish from now on, if there is going to be Nightwish anymore.
Hi, haven't seen you around for a while.
I thought about that too, when I realized the video just caught Tarja leaving the stage... somehow I forgot to mention it😉
Nightwish doing what Nightwish does best...bringing out buried emotions with their music.
I am a fan of Pink Floyd for all my life (65 y old Dutch bloke) and seen them several times.
This is not just a cover, this is the ultimate tribute from an exceptional band to an exceptional band!
I know we're just a bunch of fucks enjoying some great music together, but sometimes the shit does get real and real difficult.
Best wishes on a quick recovery so you can get back to what matters to you. Glad you posted. One of my favorite NW pieces.
Nice insights and thoughtful reaction. Thanks for sharing 🤘🤘🤘
This song and version helps me to deal with my own frustrations and stress in life. Like Gabriel said, you can feel the tension in this performance and that makes it even stronger and affective. It melts my heart as well as your reaction to it. Speedy recovery and let's hope life will return back to normal soon and we all get to do the things we love. ❤️ for you, ❤️ for Nightwish and ❤️ for the guitar solos.
Sometimes music hits you like a ton of bricks, sometimes it’s healing.. Nightwish pulled me through the last 1,5 years, sometimes by screaming along, sometimes by crying and sometimes just by enjoying.. good music does this..
Take care 🙏🏼
That was by far the best and most empathetic reaction I've ever seen for this song. It just makes a big difference if you react to such a song with a certain previous knowledge and love for this band.
For me, it's also simply the best cover of a legend that ever existed. So good that it depends on the original by lengths.
That it is the band feels really bad can be seen alone in Emmpu. No matter how sad a song is, he always laughs. No one had fun that evening. If you now include the lyrics of the song, even if that's probably too far-fetched, it's 2x as hard again. I also think Marco puts a lot of frustration into his performance here. The cover is just like a sledgehammer punch.
Come through well!! 🤘✌️
Fucked up times for a lot of us, but it is great that we have each other and your awesome ride though the rabbit hole. A big hug from Germany and sloppy kisses from our four rescue dogs who just showed up as I was tearing up with you
Stress fucks us all up at some point. Stay as strong as you can, the stress won't last forever and whenever it feels like things are getting too much, there's always Nightwish and the Nightwish Army to try to help cheer you up. Stay safe 🤘✌
In my opinion, this is a "Disturbed" level tribute and we really appreciate your emotional engagement with it. Thank you Ryan for being real and we're here for you in any way we can.
🤘🙂thanks
Use us to vent Man!
CRYING is Good! Keep the tears flowing.
We will catch your fall. We are here for you!
In this situation it's always a good thing to think about how thankful we shall be for having our loved ones alive. And that we can see the end of our misseries in the horizon.
The fact that we found a vaccin in such a short time, compared to how it used to be. That's also a thing to be thankful for.
You are not living in a place without clean water available. There are no bombs falling at you.
You don't live in Yemen (just an example) .
You don't live in in a dictatorship.
You are not inprisoned.
You are not alone!
Hope this helped a little to get a perspective on life.
Much Love to you Ryan!
I'm sorry you are struggling right now. I can't fix anything but I can let you know you aren't alone. You've got your family and you've got us. Also, of great importance - you've got your dog! He sure seemed to recognize that you needed extra affection right then. What a good boy!
Grown men do cry,this band has watered my eyes a few times,especially Floor's voice.
Those onion ninjas are everywhere!
So much talent in one band…..
My heart feels for you Ryan for a speedy recovery physically and mentally, I lost three of my family members in a six year period, I was in a dark place up to two years ago when I found Nightwish, they keep me going and I feel more alive, and that's why they are my favourite band. So take care and best wishes to you and your family cheers from Australia.🤟🎶💜
Thank you so much
At least You Have The SUN ! Up here at Northern HEMISPHERE - We face 6 months of White & Snowy winters thru Aurora Borealis called REVONTULET ! Get Better - sooner - The Better !
That has to be tough on the brain....
@@RyanMear To me the most important things in life are family and friends, so cherish your time together with them and call them even just to say hello and how are you doing.Take care and keep the great reactions coming.🤟
The Poet and the Pendulum saves my life everyday. It makes me relive part of my own life but it helps me know that things get better. Hope your arm recuperates real soon and take care of yourself, mate. Thanks for your reaction!
Amazing review, thank you posting this. Being a fan of Marko's vocals you should check out Kiss while your lips are still red, Marko's vocals in that are so fragile and beautiful it really is amazing. Should also check out Marko's solo work like voice of my father, and his work with Tarot his first band Tides (live) is a good place to start. Keep up the amazing reviews.
I second "Tides" (and every single song from his solo album) - it's a beautiful piece of work.

I was a guitar player for 26yrs, played as my sole profession for 16. Then in 2009, I was a passenger in a 50mph rollover accident when our vehicle hit black ice on the highway. I suffered a severe spinal cord injury and instantly became paralyzed the shoulders down. I have shoulders, biceps, and can weakly bend my wrists...but no fingers. The one constant thing that always helped me through the tough times in life had disappeared forever.
Stay strong...these words helped me, I hope they help you.
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul
Wow, man, my issues aren't even issues compared to that. Thank you, I wish you the best.
Take IT EASY & Get Well ! Black Ice IS The Worst - and People in The Northern HEMISPHERE - usually ONLY knows about IT !
This is still one of my absolute favorites from Nightwish - and it's also the perfect example of what covers should be: they added their own spin on the song, made it "theirs", and communicated a boatload of emotions through it. And Marko's vocals continue to be sadly underappreciated, the guy seriously deserves a place in the spotlight.
(I'm still hoping for a cooperation project between him and Hansi Kursch!)
And as a migraine sufferer, I can only say: nope, adrenaline doesn't kick in and those two hours on stage had to be excruciating. I sang in a choir and while I was able to perform during migraine (one has to love muscle memory...), I was barely coherent afterwards. Watching Jukka is just painful.
Jukka didn't have a migraine, this was made up on youtube.
@@siksimiksiFTW In the Nightwish book, he mentions suffering for years with insomnia, that can't have helped.
When he holds his head in his hands, that looks like pain to me.
@@stpfs9281 He did this often for dramatic effect. The migraine story was born in a reaction video and now it lives a life of its own.
I most certainly appreciate that you still "create" these reaction videos. Your very raw reactions make these reactions more real. The Nightwish Army will always be with you in spirit. We will have you in our hearts and minds. Press on regardless, my friend.
I am no stranger to severe stress in my past. It took me a lot of work to find, to learn how to deal with it and I want you to know that being able to talk about it to someone, anyone is one of the best ways to deal with it. Hang in there, it will get better.
ryan that was the most honest reaction i ever saw. hang in there it will get better. also this song by nightwish for some reason makes me emotional every time. ok going to watch this again now
Ryan, you are in safe hands with us - you know that. We all need to keep talking with each other. Peace out man. Kev
Thanks for keeping it real, man! NW is what keeps me sane while raising my 11year old autistic son 24/7, so yeah, they keep saving my life....

Oh Man this is so good, Marko did this so well together with his friends OMG this amazing. Your response was so beautiful 🍀🐞 Thanks my friend... Love from the Netherlands ❤🇳🇱🌷🇳🇱🙋🏼♀️😘
We LOVE - HOLLAND !
I’m so glad I watched this reaction. Much love my friend
14:52 When Marko ended that held note, with what you said just a couple of minutes before... he is usually the most stoic of the band, the one that often was the one to appear in interviews and on documentaries revealing bad news about the band and such, and you can see when he does that last "OH!," that stoicness cracks for just a moment and he lets out so much emotion in that note. That is, in a very twisted sense, why this concert is often regarded as one of the best performances Nightwish ever did until Wacken 2013.
This is because for each band member, they are so good at their respective instruments and songs that they could probably do it while asleep, but music is also their therapy, their release. So they put in 150% instead of their usual 130% into this concert, and it shows. Every song slapped, every solo was on point, every drum hit was crisp and perfectly on time, all the guitar solos were tinged in that epic shred that a solo should be. Wacken 2013 was one of their other bests, but because of the opposite reaction. They had just gone through ANOTHER singer departure, but they found a new singer that fit in perfectly, could sing old and new songs, brought her own touch to things, and, in my opinion, after a long period of denying things, finally healed fully and got back to business.
Ryan I cried with you, hold on, it'll be okay. I appreciate your knowledge, and your honesty. Take care of yourself🤘🏽
Hi Ryan, never be shamed of your feelings. I appreciate that you are yourself in these videos and give your opinion. That is why I watch.
Love he music and well done!
This was the best reaction Ryan. Thanks., and yes this was the right show.
Man, that sucks not being able to play guitar. I wish you a speedy recovery. And oooohhhh Nightwish got you. You're all in now. With Nightwish you don't just love the music, you love all the people in the band. We know. Oh we know. lol. Knowing they felt like shyte and were still totally amazing that night.... Awww Maddy came to comfort you. And yep, I'm like that too. I often listen to music to feel the things I suppress when I'm with other people. That way I can deal with it in my own time.
Sending thoughts and strength, Ryan. “And all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.”
Its so powerful. Easily became my favourite tribute/cover of all time. Knowing the background truly brings the emotion to huge levels. Nice Splint. Get well soon.
Aw no guitar. Soon.
Hugs from Canada buddy.
Time for some soul searching and lyric writing. The melodies can be hummed and recorded until you can play.
Real men are not afraid to cry and show emotion. All the best.
I am glad I saw your reaction 👍
And as you said, we are many that have experienced the impact Nightwish does on us.
And
Maybe that's why we love their music so much..
It forces us to reflect deeper - you know you are stressed right now, and therefore thinking irrational - you family doesn't love you because you can play music or be handy - it's your person, personality and role as a father and husband they love - but you already knows that - and to be honest - of course you feel sorry for yourself, it's not fair to be degraded for a month or two - it gives you stress to think of. But be honest to yourself - it doesn't change their love to you - it's yourself that have those thoughts.
Music does affect humans - and it starts a row of different thoughts - you need to recharge your mental batteries while you are on 25%.
I myself goes to the Nature, and find the inspirational thoughts there - I don't know how you recharge - but just do it - alone or/and with your family. Find the power and be creative again - make plans that are durable right now - gives you success - your mind is the strongest healer you will ever meet - it just needs some new input, to deal with the current circumstances.
Nightwish just started your reflections on life - you are out of balance and therefore easy to affect - but it is all in your mind - your personality doesn't change because your right hand needs rest. That should not be able to stop you from anything!!
And yes I really liked your reaction, because you are honest - and human - and musically, you really knows you stuff👍🤘🤘💪
Greetings from Nightwish Army Denmark 🇩🇰 - and go and buy your wife some roses 😉
You started my waterworks again..... thanks
Thank you for this amazing reaction..Crying is healing.. and so is Nightwish.
As you said yourself: don't feel ashamed. Most of us have been there. I have certainly. I am a bassplayer. Cant play because of the pain. Big hug from the Netherlands!
Danke
I usually have in mind that if NW got through everything that's happened to them, there's really not much I can't get through. I mean, at this point in the concert they're all basically shitting bricks and I can only imagine Tuomas stress for the future, but they followed their gut feeling and usually things turns out for the best when you do. Very good and honest reaction, stay well man.
Ryan, it’s gonna be all right!!
I know! Thank you!!
One of the greatest songs of our era and the One of the the greatest band who tribute that song that well, Is something so... Just so good
Wow! one of the best reactions to this tribute to Pink Floyd, what happened to you here happens to me (actually quite often...) when listening to some of the Nightwish songs, but nerver to this one until now, when you so clearly explained the situation the band and the bandmates was in at this particular situation, even thou it was no news to me, but the situation.. Thank you!
Well music is about feeling (or should be) so... keep up the good work!
Evoking emotions…that’s what nightwish is about…thank you for this reaction
It's amazing how music to evoke such emotions from people right? And Marco's voice, it IS too much, you're only human..
Thanx Ryan..this is what music does to people. It got me through a lot of shitty times. You're going to be fine..take care and never stop listening or playing music🍀🤘❤️
They felt like shit, as they were going to dismiss their lead singer after the show. Remember that all but Marco were from the same community in Finnland, so they know each other since they were kids...
Kiitos! ❤️ This is what music if for. It connects is to our feelings and helps us to express them. Take care!
This is an amazing tribute song. I still remember what happen after this concert, but it is period of time that has already happened, so why think about it, because you can only influence present and the future. Thanks for honest things and thoughts, I appreciate it.
Thank you Ryan!
For a great reaction, for sharing your emotions, for being you! I am sending tons of healing and comforting thoughts, and love, to you and your family.
As to the song: last concert of End of an Era, saying goodbye to Tarja, the difficult times the band went though with Tarja and her partner, the stresses they must have felt, which you picked up on, to me this song always felt as a lament, even more so hearing the lyrics. The grass was greener, it was better, in the past, we're saying goodbye to it now, and we do not know where we are going. This song just symbolises the period prior to this last concert, and what awaits them, not knowing what to expect, the uncertainty.
The emotional depth of the song, the meaning, and the interpretation and performance by Nightwish gets me every time. And you added significantly to that.
Thank you for sharing, love, Wim
Music is there to make us feel all the colours. It's a cocoon or it will rip you raw. The comradery between the band is impressive. They check in with each other a lot in the live shows
Wise words! And great job! That was great video. Not copy paste wow effects! I appreciate that 👍🏻
You was feeling the great and emotional cover!!! Awesome genuine reaction Ryan; the best reaction of this song ever realized!!! Greetings from Argentina!
Thank you for this emotional reaction. I have many times been thinking, how much good music means to us. Especially when we feel down. All those things you said about these NW guys, in what kind of situation they were during that show playing. It must have been a huge stress, and still they gave all of it. What happened on the following days and weeks, with all of that stress and depressed feelings Tuomas had, he composed great music to save him self. And I think he has saved quite many people with his music. When listening his masterpieces sometimes tears in your eyes, he helps us to go on. Let's keep listening more of NW, it's good for us.
aw, thanks, it is good for me too!
Your reaction is such as emotional, genuine and precious as Nightwish art (music+ poetry) is. Stay strong!. Metalheads are brothers and sisters worldwide and we support each other. Please stand your ground and get well soon!
Thank you very much, I am doing well! Well wishes for you!
The Gras was greener, the light was brighter. 🌹🤗🤘🍷Ryan. Greetings from northern Germany.
greetings from northern Indiana, North America!
Thank you for your reaction Ryan, meant a lot. Also seeing your dog Maddy, give her a hug and wishing you the best
Nothing to be ashamed of and it is good to hear people talk about it. Many of us can't. But it is one of thecstrengths of the NWA that they largely understand this. We're here to listen and if that helps, we've served a purpose.
Thanks a lot for your honest reactions and emotions! This song is so intense and brings sometimes tears but i always enjoy it because the performance carried so much emotions itself. Tears are cleaning the inside. So they help to heal! Wish you all the best, a quick recovery and sending hugs!
Best reaction to this song, PERIOD.
Thanks 🤘
Kittos!
Beauty and emotional reaction....Nightwish is the best band our time.. amazing musicians...TUOMAS GENIOUS COMPOSER...EMPPU...MARCO...JUKKA...KAI...TARJA....TROY...AND THE QUEEN FLOOR JANSEN...SO.MUCH TALENT ON ONE BAND....OUR TIME...we are NIGHTWISH ARMY...WELCOME ❤🤘🔥
Thank you for doing this masterpiece and for your honest
reaction. All the best to you, get well soon!
greets from Finland.
kittos!
It is okay we all have our days....thank you for sharing your true feelings. Oh and I love your pupper...he knew that you needed him.
They all did awesome job here and tributed PF. But you are right...the boys know what they have agreed after the very concert.
Hey Ryan, this band affects everyone on an emotional level more than any band I can think of at the moment. I have watched this video many times and I can imagine that this being the night that they fired Tarja, they probably wanted to do a song without her during her costume change. I think they were proving to themselves that they could perform without their original lead vocalist. Also they probably felt guilty about it, so lots of stress which manifests physically in the body. Take care.
I just wanted to ask, if you don't mind me... what do mean by: "Also they probably felt guilty about it" Can you elaborate a bit more? I agree, this band is something else... the exceptional talent... especially reaching the emotions in us...
@@ssc00p All four of them decided that she had to be let go but they probably felt bad about it. Being in a band can be like a marriage. There are always regrets.
@@clauderoy7580 Thank you for your clarification.... cheers. Yeah... I've always thought also that a band is like a family... and all the drama it often involves....
@@clauderoy7580 Thank you for your clarification.... cheers. Yeah... I've always thought also that a band is like a family... and all the drama it often involves....
A true reaction with no words needed. When you walked away we all knew!!!!
Man your reaction is so empathic and genuine I can appreciate you that much more. I never noticed Tuomas shake his head at emmpu to check on jukka until you pointed it out. This song hits home hard for me on bad days and nightwish always makes me feel better on good days and bad. Praying for a speedy recovery for you and much love ❤️🤘
Ryan, this is the first time I've come across your channel and I just want to say I'm a fan of yours as a human being. You're a good man. I'm with you dude. 50 year old man on my butt due to foot surgery. Little income due to that and the state of the world. I got your back brother. 🙏👍🤘
I hope you come through healing and therapy well! I'm doing good now, at the tail end of it all
Keep returning to this reaction... It's my new favourite band (since the latest year) and one of their best performances, and as you clearly point out its one of theirs hardest (most difficult) times, two of them sick and a tough time coming up (the letter...) And STILL they perform as they do here.
Amazing!
And all the credits to you for doing this reaction the way you did AND posted it. Thank you!
You should connect with Amanda Webster here, she is doing a great job in dedramatising the mental health stigma.
Keep up the good work (know you did some more reactions).
Was working there. Tough night. Emotional rollercoaster and still they nailed it, the whole show. Saw Marco first time live 1987 with his band Tarot. He’s one of a kind. Thank you, sir 🙏🏻🤘❤️🇫🇮
I like to hunt around for old reactions to some of my favorite songs...stumbled upon you...
Friend, that was so genuine and human, I really felt you. But more importantly, you're the only reactor to acknowledge the band's struggles at this Helsinki show. Every performance was so freaking intense...then THIS! This version of High Hopes is brilliant!
So I'm hoping your arm is healed up and you're back on track. I went thru repetitive stress injuries in both wrists/hands and it took 5yrs til I could do simple shit again. Also, I use music to help depression...cuz we're all going thru something...sometimes multiple somethings that shake your world. I like to follow the Nightwish philosophy of humanity, empathy and kindness...bc it's free, after all, and one kind word can really help a stranger out. I'm going thru my own stuff, and it's a heavy load. But a week ago I homed a stray cat with a fosterer...and last night she gave birth to 4 perfect kittens. Tears of joy, man.
That's great, really great! Thanks 👍, I'm healed up... mostly (I'd say 80%) so doing well!
Love your reactions to Nightwish and made even better by the depth of emotion, both the band and Yours. It's good to let it out a why not when the music moves you. Nightwish make me feel all different emotions and it's wonderful. Wishing you a speedy recovery 💚😁
Hugs Ryan. Things will get better. It will just take time and sometimes you just need to remember thousands of us appreciate you :) Nightwish brings out the emotions in all of us which is why they are so awesome.
A great honest, emotional review. Thank you from South Africa.
Totally with you Ryan - always look forward to your reactions - knowing of your current problem, I knew you were going to struggle with this one! I have my own problems which I won't bore you with here but you're right, listening to music is a great conduit for stress relief. Discovering Nightwish saved my sanity from this pandemic, along with the inimitable Babymetal. Don't know if you've reacted to them yet - but apart from having some of the best musicians on the planet, by God do they cheer you up - seriously!! Look forward to more of your reactions!
Thanks for a great reaction!
Personal as ever, hope you get better soon and can play again!
Regards from Sweden

This is a really appropriate song for Nightwish to cover as it deals with the difference between the way we see things in childhood verses as adults. That's a very Tuomas theme. For me Tuomas/Nightwish music has been the best therapy I've ever gotten. P.S. I love the circular screen NW added above them in a nod to Floyd's stage setup that can be seen in the "Pulse" concert.
One word (song title) you MUST listen to that showcases Marco's voice is... Endlessness. Unbelievable!
Sending you good vibes🙏
Very genuine reaction Ryan! Thanks for opening up. I used to bottle it all up but letting it go is the best thing. You made me shed a tear too. Good luck with everything.
This performance seemed like it was a painful one for the band. But, being the absolute professionals they are, they did what they always do, and put on a stellar show. But as you yourself said - it's not just the song, but it's the culmination of so much crap going on in all of their heads I think, during this one. Basically, the whole situation fucking sucks. And you can see it on their faces. Jukka is an absolute champion, I have no idea how he played that show with a migraine. I can barely even tolerate static ceiling lights when I have one.
We should all be glad that there was still a Nightwish to show joy and enthusiasm after this. It sounds cheesy (sue me), but the way I think about it when I see this show is that they went through all this pain to be able to bring us joy in the future.
❤
Thank you for this honest reaction. The stress they felt during this show is hard to miss. You felt it. I feel it too, every time. Take care.
Extra special emotionally, as Tarja was backstage,
not knowing what was to come.
That look from Tuomas as the camera focusses to Marco.
Then later, Tuomas nodding to Emppu.
"The grass was greener" Moving on to pastures new?
"The light was brighter"
"With friends around me" (my version) Argh! written as "surrounded".
These guys are absolutely amazing, you were ready to wipe away a tear...
Your sweet dog checking on you.
Yes, everybody gets stressed, especially with this pandemic,
affecting everyone mentally, particularly if you are gregarious.
Hang on Ryan, get rid of some of that stress, hiking, biking, running?
Or resting in peaceful countryside.
You are doing great, in spite of not being able to do what you want to.
In a Northern England virus hot spot, ethnically not believing in vaccination,
people have had enough,
decided to have a big suicidal street party, I hope they survive,
but a few of them and their elderly relatives won't.
Thank you for your very honest reaction❤ this is a song which I listen over and over again...and it gets better everytime. Marko❤❤ Emppu, Jukka and Tuomas❤❤❤
I cry sometimes too man. It'll make you a stronger person. I appreciate you opening up to us. Continue making great videos! Peace 🤘
As I am suffering from (amongst other things) double depression for decades by now and having a chronic pain disorder (260 headaches days in 2020) I can feel with you and your emotions.
One thing I learned over the years: Hiding your emotions and how you really feel will suck the energy out of you. Even more than the diseases can do. Thanx for your honest reaction!
Music is a very important part of my life and kind of therapy for me as well.
My best wishes for you!
Damn, man, that is a lot of headaches. I wish you well🤜🤛
It’s ok Ryan… .. Nightwish have this effect! They can give strong emotions! 💗💗💗
Thank you Ryan for sharing your emotions with us. We all cried with you, or at least I did. ❤ Whenever life feels difficult and I wish to lift my spirits, I listen to "Shudder Before the Beautiful", "Alpenglow" and "My Walden". They make you love yourself, everyone around you and the whole world! Hope your arm will heal well and you will play soon again!
Those have been getting thrown at me quite a bit lately...Might have to go for one!
Thank you very much for this reaction. I love this piece and this performance. And your reaction is close to my feelings. Thank you
Marco is so good! Nightwish made this a fantastic tribute to PF. Empu shines here.
I've walked around in Menard's Leaking from the eyes -- wearing wrap-around fishing sunglasses -- so many times. Now, whenever I see somebody wearing those glasses, my first thought is that they're crying. If that were true, a bass tournament would be an emotional mess, I guess. ••• Thanks for the videos. They make watching the corn grow easier.
Nightwish are one of those bands who can only play one way - flat out! They don't leave anything in the dressing rooms. This is possibly my favourite song by this band, even though my head pounds softly in sympathy with Jukka every time I hear it.
A problem shared is a problem halved is an old saying, but true. So never worry about sharing here. I suspect most if not all of us have been there in one way or another.
If music like this performed like this doesn't touch you in some way, you honestly need to stop listening. You're missing too much for it to be worth your time. Go walk the dog, tend the garden, bake a cake.
Kiitos❤️ Nice reaction and I cried with you. That's true with dogs. Actually when I had really bad flue both of my cat and dog stayed near me in bed. Actually my cat don't like my dog, but then she really didn't mind😁 Lovely dog you have!
I must have seen hundreds of Nightwish reactions in the past year, but this one is the one that I occasionally come back to. Everything's been said about the band's performance, but reaction wise this is about as real as it gets. Hope that in future you return to Nightwish every once in a while.
Thank you
GREAT Video - Get Well Soon ! This World needs a REAL HEALTHY - GUITAR Player ! There IS NEVER too MANY !
Jukka...my favorite drummer...a complete beast!
Made me cry too, lots of things do now as I get older.
I am glad you got it off your chest, you will come through this time, and be all the stronger for it, just like they did as a band. Nice reaction, and keep rocking.
Brilliant reaction Ryan… glad you found a vehicle in this performance to release some of it. We all need it, and obviously you did as well.
