This man here is our beloved bard, Troy, he is not only an excellent multi-instrumentalist musician, but he has a very funny and witty sense of humor. Now that Marko has left the band, Troy and Floor are the ones who give some rather peculiar introductions to their songs.
When Marko left Nightwish in January 2021 he said, "so to speak, it's time for me to look for 'My Walden'"
Hi again from a Nightwish Army fan. Troy Donockley became a full member of Nightwish at the same time that Floor became a full member, after the Wacken 2013 festival. He is a supremely talented multi-instrumentalist who plays the Uilleann pipes (Irish elbow pipes), the low whistle, the tin whistle, the acoustic and electric guitar (sometimes with an ebow), the bouzouki (an Irish large mandolin), and any hollow stick he can pick up and blow into. Now that Marko has retired from the band, Troy and Floor are filling in the gap vocally. I absolutely loved and enjoyed your reaction to, perhaps, my favorite Nightwish song. I told, Carol, my wife of 41 years, that if I pass away first, that I want this live video performance played at my memorial service. I am a firm believer in the New Orleans style of celebration of one's life upon passing, rather than having a pity party. Great job and keep the Nightwish reactions coming. By the way, Nightwish just introduced a song into their live setlist a week ago (mid-December 2022) that Tuomas wrote years ago as a tribute to his mother and father. Floor and Troy play this acoustic piece so beautifully. It is truly moving to watch, and even though this is a fan video from the Zurich 2022 concert, it is very good quality in both video and audio. Here's a link so you can check it out.

And here are the lyrics. Enjoy.
I climbed off your back
Not so long ago
To a blooming meadow
To a path you'd made for the lightest feet
Mother
I am always close to you
I will be waving
Every time you leave
Oh, I am you
The care, the love, the memories
We are the story of one
Father
I am always close to you
I will be waving
Every time you leave
Oh, I am you
The care, the love, the memories
You are forever in me
This verse we wrote
On a road home
For you
All this for you
Our walk has been sublime
A soaring ride and gentle lead
You have the heart of a true friend
One day we'll meet on that shore again
Mother
I am always close to you
I will be waving
Every time you leave
Oh, I am you
The care, the love, the memories
We are the story of one
Father
I am always close to you
I will be waving
Every time you leave
Oh, I am you
The care, the love, the memories
You are forever in me
I would just add that Troy started playing with Nightwish in 2007, just not as a permanent member.
Troy is a “regular” member of the band…plays a plethora of instruments and sings.
Troy is the English multi-instrumentalist who sings the start in Welsh.
Being English, his dream as a young boy references Wembley Stadium, the biggest football stadium in the UK and home of the FA championships.
The song is based on Thoreau's Walden and is essentially about going back to a simple life in countryside of your own.
I concur 👍
Welsh - Are you sure? Isn't it rather Gaelic?
@@dragonseye00 I believe it has a Brittonic root as used here, but am open to correction.
In any case it is Celtic. There must be some native Welsh speakers in the audience here?
Google translate shows Welsh
@@deed5811 I've always thought it wa Welsh.
I never thought to try Google Translate. Clever!
Thank you.
I agree, Floor has one of the warmest, most welcoming smiles I've ever seen.
Her smiling is just great. And she smiles very often. Her open Arms and gesticulating is part why we love her so much. Beside her power, great vocals, humbleness, clothes, etc - i can not stop to praise Floor for her performance. Not to talk about the whole group.
She commands the stage, she is one of a kind.
@@davidphillips4706 I agree. I know we talk a lot about stage presence here, but I've never seen anyone with the kind of 'electricity' that Floor has on stage.
@@timhutchinson8485 It's so easy to see how the crowds react to her, even way back in 2013 she had them in the palm of her hand.
It absolutely has to do with Thoreau's book. It was inspired by it.
That is the 6th member, multi instrumentalist Troy Donockley( from the UK). He started playing with them in 2007, made permanent in 2013 with Floor. He is singing in Welsh at the start, and is playing the Uilleann (ill-en or ill-yen) pipes. The Irish bagpipes which uses a bellows squeezed by the elbow to inflate the bag. Also playing the Irish Low Whistle.
This versatility and fun to perform are two of the many reasons why Nightwish is so popular. Bei dieser Band ist alles perfekt auf den Punkt, und ich liebe es.
" FOREVER MY HOME "
Troy brings some of my favorite sounds to Nightwish songs. The pipes and flute, some of the extra guitar stuff that he brings just creates added richness and depth and I think allows Tuomas to make even deeper compositions. He worked with the band off and on before Floor joined and they were added as full time members at the same time. Troy now does alot of the male vocal stuff with Marco having left last year.
Floor's smile is so infectious. You nailed it. This is inspired by Thoreau. Tuomas grew up in a very rural area in Finland and he loves nature. We all need to find our own Walden.
The last two Albums have been nothing but a celebration of life and nature, i can't remember if you have done Poet and the Pendulum, but if you haven't but remember the joy of songs like this when it comes to "poet"
Troy is a member since 2013 like Floor and he is a very good multi-instrumentalist
Nightwish are so versatile no song is the same, brilliant musicians🤘🤘
Pure joy on stage....top to bottom, left to right they are superb. And it hit's emotions that very few bands have ever hit with me, love the fact that you get it !
The language sung by Troy at the beginning of the song is Welsh.
Troy Donockley "The Bard" (is an English composer and multi-instrumentalist most known for his playing of Uilleann pipes, tin whistle, vocals, guitar, keyboards, bass guitar, pump organ, bouzouki, cittern, bodhrán, mandola, harmonium, aerophone).
Donockley's first appearance with Nightwish was on their 2007 release, Dark Passion Play, as a guest musician, providing some whistles and pipes to the songs "The Islander", "Last of the Wilds", and "Meadows of Heaven". He also joined them on select shows of the subsequent tour and appeared in the music video for "The Islander". In 2011, Donockley appeared as a guest on Imaginaerum, providing whistles, pipes, and vocals. He joined Nightwish again on the Imaginaerum World Tour, and also appeared on the band's concert DVD 'Showtime, Storytime'. He also appears in the Imaginaerum film from 2012 as a stage illusionist.
Following the conclusion of the Imaginaerum World Tour, Donockley was made a full-time member of Nightwish in October 2013.
He provides the main vocals for Nightwish's single ‘Harvest’, released in 2020. This was unusual for the band, as main vocals were usually provided by Floor Jansen.
Troy plays the Uilleann pipes and the Low Whistle. Both are Irish instruments. It was a Nightwish concert at the sold out Wembley Arena.
You my good sir are absolutely right !!!!Walden is a book by Henry David Thoreau, chronically the two years he lived by Walden Pond, seeking solitude and a oneness with nature by living simply and creating an environment that suited him and no one else. He interacted with others, selling beans he had grown, but did not integrate with their institutions. The line in the song “ I do not wish to evade the world, yet I will forever build my own,” captures that nicely, I think.
So ,... there is actually nothing more to say....Nightwish is music for your soul!!!!
NWSU 🤘😎🤘.
Most people talk about how wonderful Wacken 2013 was. But this concert, Wembley 2015, must have been really special. Starting with Shudder Before the Beautiful and Your's is an Empty Hope, later on Storytime, The Poet and the Pendulum, Ghost Love Score and ending in a spectacular way with The Greatest Show on Earth featuring Richard Dawkins. Songs like My Walden and Alpenglow are so uplifting, to keep it a bit lighter. I love to listen to the whole concert in a row. It's amazing.
Epic ♥️
So many incredible songs performed. It would have been life changing to have been there!
Thanks so much for watching and being in this moment with me
Nightwish's music brings a smile to my face everytime I listen to it.....they seem to enjoy what they are doing and it translates into the music.
The only downside with this song is it's too short.
I could listen to that groove at the end for hours!
Weaving my wings from many-colored yarns... LOVE IT...!!!
Good one.Try How's The Heart acoustic Planet Rock just Floor and Troy.
From Wikipedia:
Walden is a book by American transcendentalist writer Henry David Thoreau. The text is a reflection upon the author's simple living in natural surroundings. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and-to some degree-a manual for self-reliance.
Yes,....that smile. I know what you mean. Epic song. Indeed, joy and celebration. 🤩🥳🌺🥰
Nightwish Army UK popping in to say "Thats our Troy that is :)"
It's Troy you had doubts about. He joined later and he contributs with a lot of interesting instruments and he also has a nice singing voice.
All Nightwish music is so different. This track has a bit of folk music about it and a more acoustic experience than many of their other tracks 🙂
Yeh Troy is a new member of the band, he was a session musician for a long while then became a full member . He adds extra elements to songs live with the inclusion of various stringed and wind instruments.
Also being an English lad and a football fan when he says playing Wembley tops seeing the wonders of the world I can believe him, football is almost a religion in the U.K. and in much of Europe. So for him getting to play that gig and say “Hello Wembley” following on from all the great bands that have played there, and whilst not the football grounds, having a similar relevance. It’s just a very huge moment for any Englishman to imagine being able to do, and he’s done it.
Comes across as a nice bloke too.
I may be incorrect, I haven't been a fan for so very long, but I read that Troy was a session musician with them for many years. He was made an official member of the band at the same time they confirmed Floor as their new singer.
This song gets me every time and I think it's because it's so diverse and unique.......in the Tampere version Tuomas actually headbangs during this song which is just crazy but I love it when he headbangs....... And then like less than a minute later I almost have tears in my eyes because this song has such deep meaning but you are correct it is such an uplifting song and by the way someone will correct me on this but I think this song is a like a follow-up to I want my tears back..... Which makes this song that much better I think this is one of the most underrated songs that they sing ......
Yes, Henry David Thoreau! Joy of the Nature. Merry Christmas! ⛄🎅👍
For another song of theirs that's full of joy, check out Elan. IT's just gorgeous!
I'm sure someone has said this to you but that is obviously Troy who became an official member of the same time that floor did but Troy's been around for a while....... And he is from England so that's why he said I've been dreaming about this my whole life good evening Wembley...... I just love this song and the Tampere version is really good also but I always suggest this one just because of what Troy says in the beginning it just almost brings tears to my eyes to hear him say that
Playing the Uilleann pipes and low whistle was Troy Donockley from England also singing in Welsh at the start. You heard him play electric guitar with E-bow at the start and then Uilleann pipes in The Greatest Show On Earth, Bouzouki with E-bow on Sahara. And playing bouzouki conventionally on Dead Boys Poem to name a few. He had guested on Anette's albums but only became a full band member at the same time as Floor in 2013. And to here him play acoustic guitar and sing accompaniment in a duet with Floor try How's The Heart at Planet Rock. czcams.com/video/yYtkPpFYzOo/video.html
And Again, great great reaction i reallly enjoy every NW reaction you do, thnxxxc
Troy speaks in Welsh at the beginning.
To add to your Christmas videos check out Floor singing O holy night in Finnish at Heavy Christmas (Metal musicians and singers from all over Finland get together to do Christmas songs with a metal treatment.) Also Floor & Marko singing Ave Maria, and Marko with a bunch of other metal singers doing The Little Drummer Boy. So great!!
👍👍👍
"Por siempre mi hogar" Brandon gran reacción. 🤘❤️💪
Great as always - thx. ‼️🏆 Haven’t you done: I want my tears back (live from Buenos Aires) - there you would have met: Troy (also a member of Nightwish - but not in every song)
But great you video - hope you will do a lot more…
My Walden - a celebration of life, composed and performed by a group of musicians who are storytelling musical geniuses and then, there's Floors smile ♥️
The opening verse is Welsh as follows:
“Sain y niwl,
Gaunt y goydwig fwsog,
Gwenithfaen, cen y coed, a'r lleuad,
Un gway f'adenydd I dapestri bywyd“
In English means:
“The sound of the mist,
the mossy forest,
granite, the lichen of trees, and the moon, weave my wings into life’s tapestry“
TRoy had done some colabs with Nightwish and became an official member at about the same time as Floor. He's a musical swiss knife. He plays many instruments and also sings. And just like Floor, he's not Finnish as the rest of the band. He's a Brit.
So Incredible see you enjoy this song and Nightwish so much! Loved it!! Ans wish you happy hollidays! Kirsty from the Netherlands 🎄🎄😇😇🇵🇾🇵🇾🥰
Look up the Tampere version of this song, it is even more magical... :))))
