      They are in the EU, so they don't put 'whatever' in their water. But I suspect it could have something to do with living in a country bellow sea level. I mean, that's as close as humanity can get to have a settlement under the sea. And the results are singers that are as close to sirens as humanity can get.

    Dark as day is light
    It's a place where your dreams will be slanted
    And will always be
    It's a force that was sent out to win you
    Just you wait and see
    Take one step closer to the borderline
    Where night and day unite

    On holy soil
    And you will not find me

    I've just been discovering these two powerhouse bands in epica and nightwish over the last couple of months. Epica came to my attention first, to be honest, because I have a thing for redheads. It took exactly 90 seconds to realize how awesome Simone and the whole epica production is. Been hooked ever since. Then one day I was talking about epica and someone recommended this video for me. Hence, I became aware of floor. I started exploring nightwish and I am just renewed. I haven't been this excited about being a metal fan literally since I was growing up with iron maiden and Metallica in the early eighties. I know that nothing lasts forever but I hope that I will someday be able to check out these bands before I croak. I am pretty sure that all epica and nightwish events in Valhalla will be sold out.

    • @Vixxenkiss
      @Vixxenkiss Před 8 lety +1

      +Anders Midnatt Simone is actually a mezzo soprano. She might be light lyric but I doubt full lyric. I have heard Floor called full lyric and dramatic but I'm not sure her voice is dark enough for dramatic soprano. I'm not even 100% convinced she is a soprano. She voice resonates in her head BUT it seems to resonate in her mixed voice too. The theory is mezzos can do this but sopranos cannot.

    • @AndersMidnatt
      @AndersMidnatt Před 8 lety +4

      Vixxenkiss Simone is the full lyric soprano, because her voice is significantly higher than mezzo (no B2, her lowest notes - D3 to F3 - are flat, but the highest is F#6, which note a mezzo can't hit). Floor Jansen is the full dramatic soprano, because her low notes are impressive and dark enough to be arousing, though her high notes closely resemble those of the lyric soprano (which doesn't have these charming lows).

    • @Vixxenkiss
      @Vixxenkiss Před 8 lety +4

      A lot of mezzos have a soprano range. You can't go by range alone. As for her lows I honestly think she just hasn't developed her chest voice. But maybe she is a light lyric soprano now. She is still classified as mezzo most places I see online, I don't just mean wikipedia. Like, everywhere. I have to agree with that. It's subjective since it's not based solely on range. As for Floor, kind of the same thing. The way her head voice sounds is so very very different from her chest, like a different person completely. It makes me think she just prefers lower notes and belting. Like the ReVamp song I Lost Myself
      I think that bridge there is where it resonates best, but I have also heard that in her head voice. Which is, what makes me be not 100% sure she is a soprano even though she is classified as one. A mezzo can do that, but sopranos usually can't.
      It's super super hard to classify them based on this type of music alone TBH

      The only songs that displayed Floor's potential and capability were "Yours Is An Empty Hope" and "Weak Fantasy." Since Marco also wrote YIAEH, it had a different sound and the heaviness that songs like "Elan" and the title track were lacking. It seemed more like a continuation of the Imaginarrium album. It seemed like songs that fit Annete Olzon's voice rather than Floor's. Hopefully on the next album Tuomas can stray away from so many brass instrument sounds. And imo, I'm not that on board with so many bagpipes on the songs. It gives Nightwish a separate identity. Maybe Floor Jansen can be allowed to contribute some writing on some songs.

    • @atdawnanddusk
      @atdawnanddusk Před 6 lety +31
