Hello Joseff McKenneth ! Nightwish fans here, your musical quest summoned us.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing here at Tampere (Finland) in 2015, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band. This epic song is part of their 8th studio album, "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" (2015).
Also a recent sad news - these days Marco Hietala, the bass player and male singer of the band, announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least - we'll see what the future brings to us.
About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
As I saw, you enjoyed the powerful performance of the band, together with the stellar vocals of our Dutch metal queen, Floor Jansen. Hope you'll continue on this path.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. Marco Hietala is the Bassist and vocals .And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "
Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs (with links) with the current lineup of the band you may like (please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and not as something mandatory):

Last but not the least - they just released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: czcams.com/play/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg.html (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..)
The links presented above are with the current singer of the band, Floor Jansen, since I'm a fan of the recent era of the band, with Floor as the singer. I have nothing against previous singers, but I do not consider myself the most suitable person to give specific recommendations from their repertoires.
** I think it's your place, fans of previous Nightwish eras, to present to the reactors the best recommendations with Tarja Turunen and Anette Olzon, because you know and appreciate them directly. I encourage you to add the best recommendations in the comments. **
That being said, I will add here the message left the other days by an old fan of the band, @Fabrizio Gorla: " To be fair to the old fanbase, you may want to include also some of these songs. Just be fair and don’t make a comparison if you don’t want an open war in your comment section.

In these pandemic times, Floor Jansen has decided to make covers for us, which you can find on her YT channel - there are already 6 covers there, the first is "Let It Go" from "Frozen" (19 weeks ago, already over 2.288M views), the second - "Alone" from "Heart" , released 17 weeks ago - 1.103M and counting. Then 15 weeks ago she dropped the third cover, in Dutch: "Is Dit Nou Later" from Stef Bos - already 271K views. Just before Christmas she made a powerful cover of "Ave Maria" - already 290K views. 12 weeks ago she added a remastered / remixed version of the first one, "Let It Go" - already 192K. 10 weeks ago she added to the list a powerful cover of "Adagio" by Lara Fabian (!!!) - 403K views now. Then, just 5 weeks ago she gave us the last one so far: "Oblivion" by M83 - 437K views in 5 weeks..
Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe.
Imagine how long this post will be in 10 years, especially if you squeeze in the side projects 🤣👌🏻🥰😍❤️
@@Linux_Lucy .. And another new reactor learning something about band's history, then having some good quality links to chose from, to start his / hers personal discovery journey. You could say that, that's my 2nd not-payed job :) And I'm always looking for new reactors to Nightwish. Stay safe, LL.
What an incredibly intelligent and thoughtful reaction. Many reactors listen, but they don't always pay attention. Well done. I look forward to more thoughtful reactions from you.
Thank you so much for your kind words :)
yes,, agree!
The man doing the narration is biologist Richard Dawkins, and this is the song of his book "The Greatest Show On Earth", which should be required reading for everybody. At the Wembley Arena performance he attended in person and did all final narration live. You should listen to that one too - different but equally great for other reasons.
Tough on the outside, but hell are these guys all the nicest people on the inside! Modest, friendly, down to earth bunch of people playing a range of songs from the heaviest metal to a more ballad sort of music. Each and every one of them professional and really into what they're doing. There's some great interviews online too showing how modest our Metal Mozart (Tuomas) really is. Great reaction!!
Thank you, your comment is greatly appreciated. We have fallen in love with Nightwish.
Great commentary and reaction my friend. You nailed it "We Were Here"! The evolution of our solar system, the Earth, and life itself. The Greatest Show on Earth is life and living every day. Cherish the moment. It only lasts a little while for each of us. Peace. 🙏✌👍
Thank you very much, and well said 🙌
And this is Nightwish.....they don't play just a song but they created an experience and they do it time after time after time awesome musicians, the best female vocalist i ever heard and the mastermind Thuomas who write and compose everything what you hear and sea enjoy your Nightwish journey and expect the unexpected greetings from the Netherlands
Nightwish army incoming...
You my good man are one of the very few I've seen that knew it was an Irish Bagpipe also known as Uilleann pipes, I'mpressed.
One of the reasons that Nightwish is not that known in the US is because they have the mindset that a song takes as long as a song takes, and not just the standard 3 min. that every pop song being played on the Radio. Granted this is their longest song, and they also have short ones, mostly I would guess are around 6-7 min. but times just flies when you listen to them.
i as well caught his recognition of troys pipes
Great reaction.
Now get ready for the Nightwish Army stepping in. But don't be scared. We are just nice :-)
Next song should be "Ghost Love Score" Live at Wacken 2013. That is the starting point for most reactions and I recommend to do it, too.
Floor Jansen is a classically trained and a professional voice coach as well and check out her CZcams channel right now she is currently doing cover songs and a master class online, awesome 😎at least 20 years experience. Thanks 😊they call her the Queen of metal awesome 😎
One of my favorite reactions ever! This is a pretty challenging song to start with for this band, but for someone going in almost completely blind you pretty much nailed it. Your intuition, and your grasp of the emotions and ideas being expressed were basically right on. The song is, indeed, about the evolution of the universe, and life on Earth, the rise and eventual fall of humanity. It is based on the writings of evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, who is the voice doing the narration. You might get roasted by a few whiners for stopping the video before the very end, but there was no way for you to know there was anything left. I really enjoyed your reaction and your presence in the moment of the song. I hope you’ll take a look at more of their music...since you are a singer, I’d recommend Ghost Love Score (live at Wacken 2013 version) as it is a showcase for Floor’s many vocal styles and textures.
This was refreshing to watch and have a genuine reaction to! Thank you for your kind words :)
Floor Jansen is "arguably" the most complete singer in the world. Her stylistic toolbox is huge and well trained.
If we had to send one singer to pacify an invading alien race or be destroyed, we will send her.
Also Josef I enjoyed your takes and I subscribed well done sir from a humble farm kid from central kansas.
We're with you on Floor vs the Aliens 👍. We'll inform Joseff of your compliment.
ALWAYS watch NW songs right until the very end!
On this song they pay credit to every member of their crew and then there is a further message from Richard Dawkins you missed.
Both of these things are inspiring.
By the sounds of things and what seems to be important to you - Nightwish is the band for you. I believe they will be 100% up your alley.
Musically and lyrically they are poetically beautiful and thought provoking with a large diverse collection of songs and musical pieces to experience.
I enjoyed your reaction. Let the Nightwish Army guide you.
It's fair to say that you jumped into the deep end with this one though.
Nightwish are a healing band.
You grasped the storyline almost immediately and I saw the genuine appreciation and comprehension dawn on you as the song progressed. Very satisficing review and reaction. Please do more Nightwish!
Good choice with Tampere, Finland live show, awesome 😎
You should have run the credits through the end. Never cut the performances of Nightwish short as something relevant to the story still may come up as in this one. As live concerts with Nightwish were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation our Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen has uploaded many interesting videos in the last year, such as mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses and so much more. Her 'Fan Friday' videos are hilarious. Just go to her CZcams channel and unpack some of the presents she left there. When you get to the legendary performance of 'Ghost Love Score' at the Wacken concert of 2013 also check out the video Floor made reacting to herself performing this. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish.
Thank you for your reaction. you look deep in the ART of Thuomas. Thumbs up!!!
Excellent song (symphony), excellent reaction. Kiitos
It was fun to see you really getting into not just the music, but the story and how it made you react emotionally. Really enjoyed your reaction!
Welcome to the most intriguing rabbit hole in music Joseff. You started in the deep end though. Gabriel has given you a great blueprint for he Nightwish journey. As a fan of 25+ years I can tell you that: the degree of depth, feel, compositional breadth and creativity, execution cohesiveness, musicianship and artistic expression in Nightwish's art form (notice I did not use the word songs as it fails miserably to convey any meaning) is staggering. Every lyric, cord and key shift is meticulously planned and executed and supported by meaningful and worth-exploring lyrics. Nothing is done in vain. Everything has its place in the whole structure. Every single one of them is a world-class musician/vocalist but they all check their egos at the door and solely serve the music and its needs. We, the lucky ones who discovered them early on in the 90s, have been spoiled rotten to the point that it is almost impossible to listen to any other music without making the comparison and realizing that the pastures are always more lush and greener in Nightwish musical land.
You are refreshingly smart. Thank you
Right to the deep end. You should check "Ghost Love Score, official Live Wacken 2013" There is a singing and performance school... ;-)
Make a favor to yourself and listen to this song!
I really enjoyed your reaction and you appreciating /feeling the message behind the song! Hope to see you react to more of nightwish or Floor Jansen. Greetings from the Netherlands (home country of Floor)
The fact that this was your introduction to Nightwish, and that your reaction contained so much thought and openness is quite remarkable. Often times people jump into this song, or Poet and the Pendulum and are totally unable to grasp any meaning intended by Toumas. Of course he writes so that much of his feelings can apply to many situations, so that is not always a bad thing. But that said, I really enjoyed your reaction. Cheers!
By far the best reaction I've viewed. Nice job!. Im a Floor Jansen fan in Nightwish. I do enjoy the previous singers but Floor sealed the deal for me.
Nice thoughtful reaction . Nice to see someone appreciate it as a work of art as well as a performance. ✌️
Thanks for a great reaction!
You got most of it correct on the first listen! Well done! This song is a celebration/story of the Universe, Evolution and the luck we all had in the lottery of life. It's also complaining on what mankind has done/will do to the earth, all distilled down to a 21 minute masterpiece of art.
Regards from Sweden
Ulf
My thoughts exactly. Remarkable how much he got right. His background also fits a great deal with this incredible song/show.
You did a really good job for understanding the song.
Gabriel, rendering my anemic reaction to merely... nothingness. Anyway, thank you Gabriel B, I have watched this maybe Nightwish show 50-60 times, and always leaves tears. Joseff, great reaction. I hope to see more. Good insights.
This was a wonderful reaction from you, young man. This Mammoth of a song really tells us about whole of the Evolution. And a very poetic way. They maybe are seasoned metal musicians, but they are also great humanists and pro-science individuals. Greetings from Finland! ⛄👍
Thank you! It was refreshing to watch!
I think you captured the spirit of both the song and the band very well here. As you said, even when you don't understand what's being sung, if you can "feel" it it's fine, and that's generally what you get with Nightwish, each and every time.
By the way: hadn't you spoken a single word, the infectious smile you carried throughout would have given away your genuine appreciation for the whole experience anyway!
At least someone who is a great listener and observer, doesn't take it all for granted. Nice reaction Joseph and please for the next one begin with Gost Love Score, Wacken Open Air 2013...
Agreed!!!
Gnat-sized indeed, which makes it a minor miracle that Nightwish enthralls even Americans. More power to them - and I am incredibly excited to have a ticket to their World Tour show in LA in October
You absolutely got it while listening to it for the first time. Those reactions are seldom and precious. It was a pleasure to hear you paraphrasing...Thank you :-)
An impressive reaction. Thank you, sir.
Also, it's always fun when you see people forget to breathe when they realise that what they thought was peak Floor (and/or Marko), is just another switch before the next step up on the ladder of awesome.
Loved your sense of wonder and spirituality.
Thanks a lot for your kind words towards me i really appreciate.
Just subscribed, and I'm giving you the chance - react to more nightwish/rock/metal songs.
You are REALY smart guy, you listen to song just once, and discover more than me after thousand listenings.
Really appreciating your work, keep it up, Bro, greetings from Poland :]
Wish you finished it off, the last speech is deep beautiful
Luca is the single cell that is the 'Mother of all'.
Luca=last universal common ancestor
@@funkynosejob Yes!
You were so spot on Joseff, well done 💋
Thank you so much for giving Nightwish a chance and realy taking the time and effort to understand the story and message of this wonderful piece of music! Bless you!
Thanks a lot for your kind words towards me i really appreciate.
Beautiful reaction ,welcome to nigtwish and the army
You’d struggle to find a more positive minded band than Nightwish. I’m always cheered up by them. 🤘❤️
I -=NEVER=- subscribe to a reactor on the first video I see. I wait to see a few before deciding. Dude, you had me at around 16:00. So understanding, intelligent, and open minded that it's like you can be felt through the black glass. Well done sir, I look forward to more!

The Greatest Show On Earth is actually a book in first time
Cool piece of info.

The voice over, and a fair bit of the lyrics, is from a book of poetry by an evolutionary biologist named Richard Dawkins, and he did the final voice over live for the Wembly show
Hey, you should definitely check out wacken show 2013 Nightwish song Ghost love score, that is what reactors usually start with when checking out Nightwish, awesome 😎 prepare for the Nightwish army incoming soon, lol 😆
OMG you are so sympathetic! ♥️
Loved your commentary! I like how in depth you got with the lyrics and composition. Such a powerful song :)
Thanks a lot for your kind words towards me i really appreciate.

Her dress in this show is related to the flag of Finland, blue and white, because this show is in Tampere Finland. The white parts are also related to the structure of DNA.

I LIKE YOUR REACTION,,,TALKING WHITH A GOOD MUSIC HEART,,
Well done!!
Wow, very insightful reaction, loved it!
I enjoyed watching your reaction. I'm so glad you didn't pause the song every 10 seconds like some of these other reactors.
Thank you. There are a lot of rules with posting reactions. Sometimes there is no way around pausing often. 3 strikes and your channel gets shut down.
Plz can you do more nightwish plz? Peace from Austria 🤘🤘🤘
Right.....you wokeup the Nightwish army so get ready for a fantastic NIGHTWISH experiance , band from Finland , singer from the Netherlands and a guy who can play lots of instruments from GB .
Nightwish Army UK division, Private Cryogenic Fire, reporting in for reaction duties 🤘
Thanks a lot for your kind words towards me i really appreciate.
Normally people start on Nightwish with Ghost Love Score on Ever Dream... :D You went strong starting with The Greatest Show on Earth! :D
I've seen them live 4 times and seeing them again in 2022. Very Sad to say that Marco, the bass player, has left the band because he felt disenfranchised with the music industry. His very unique and incredible backing vocals will be impossible to replace. Tuomas is their main song writer and Floor is just awesome so they will still be great but just not the same. 😢
Hi Joseff McKenneth, thank you for this Nghtwish song, welcome the Nightwish army, greetings from Denmark
I was here
The reading parts are from "Unweaving the Rainbow" by Richard Dawkins, and from "On the Origin of Species" by Charles Darwin. The song title is also a book by Dawkins. Well worth reading all of them.
Great information, thank you.
The narration at the end, with the titles, (but you missed that) is Richard Dawkins reading the final section of Darwins The Origin of Species (1859)
Joseff, self-healing facilitator, oh, feel the heal from this band!
Lots of comments over the years attribute Nightwish music
for reaching into their hearts, healing emotional problems.
C'mon, you got the attention span!
"American form of Thomas"?
Finnish, from 🇫🇮 Finland, this is at Tampere.
Oh, you are gonna Love this!
You got the pronounciation of Tuomas well from Marko.
"Kiitos" is Thank you. You can thank them at the end.
You pick up on a lot of things, impressive.
Rock opera, cinematic, Celtic... James Bond, Overture.
Feel it, epic, Irish Bagpipe, Fantasy, Hercules, mountain top.
"Roller coaster ride", oh, you mean "Last Ride of the Day"!
The narrator, Floor has you transfixed, then she starts singing, smiles.
Telling the story of nature.
Presentation, dark Goth look, lyrics and voices totally different.
Where you reading the script?
"Couldn't be more beautiful" (She said "Beautiful")!
Tribal...
"Kiitos" from Floor.
Very good sir like the channel so far new subscriber love how you picked up on the meaning so fast Nightwish is a rabbit hole you want to go down.
NIGHTWISH ARMY 1st RECON BRIGADE WEST VIRGINIA USA .REPORTING FOR DUTY
🤘❤
This is definitely one of the best reaction videos to this song and you seem to have gone into it without much preparation, that is very impressive! Thank you.
I hope you do more Nightwish reactions in the future.
The song is about evolution. The voice over at the beginning and at the end is professor Richard Dawkins who wrote the book "The Greatest Show on Earth" which is evolution. He read qoutes from his own book and from "The Origin of Species" by Darwin.
People who get excited early on in a Nightwish song are in for a ride! :p
Well, this was one of the best analyzes of this song to date.
. 👍
After listening to this song a lot of times I still discover little things. This time I noticed Troy wearing a T-shirt with Darwin's portrait. Joseff, did you notice the musical nods to Bach and Metallica? Or that Richard Dawkins is the narrator, reading his own work? There was a concert in Londen where he was actually there, coming on stage to do his narrative live...
Yes! The story of nature, creation, the earth's history. One line in the song, "Lonely farer in the Goldilocks zone" stands out to me. The "Goldilocks zone" is what scientists refer to the orbital zone a planet must be in to be habitable. Too close to a star and it is too hot to support life. Too far away and it is too cold to support complex life. Of course, this line is referring to the earth, to us. The last couple of verses are just incredible. As short and fleeting as life is, we were here. How many things in the Universe can say that? 😁
"Musical roller coaster" You put in wordas exactly how I feel listening to this wonderful masterpiece of Tuomas
🙏🏻❤️
Sgt. Nachos from the Army here. Amazingly thoughtful review. Keep up your Nightwish journey, we'll be with you.
i'm love how Nightiwish song's make many different, absolutely different peoples smiling =)
you just met the best band out there try out Ghost love score from wacken and poet and the pendulum from wembley
Thanks a lot for your kind words towards me i really appreciate.
It seems you have nose dived into the deep, vast , ocean of Nightwish! OK! This was a great, very enjoyable reaction video! Damn man, you went in deep! From this reaction of yours, I think you are in for a real treat! Nightwish is a true rabbit hole, so much to explore! ( 3 singers over time!) The look on your face and your words... Dude, you are about to get owned by this great band, and you will beg for more! I know...Enjoy! I look forward to your journey here, so much fun for us to revel in!
Great reaction thank you welcome to the family you've just witnessed our Queen Floor jansen probably one of the best female artist in the world at the moment your in for a long ride enjoy
Very good reaction, and understanding of the song's basic concept. Unless having read up on the song prior to listening, most reactors cannot quite grasp what's going on. Look forward to more reactions to what I consider to be the best band of the last 25 years. Welcome, from the Southern California division of the Nightwish Army.
I am part of the Nightwish Army lol!
yeah dude you like many reactors missed the last bit. don't be ashamed just go back and watch it for yourself. love the reaction you really got the composition.
The part you missed at the end was Prof. Richard Dawkins (who was reading the other quotes in the song) reading from Charles Darwin's "On The Origin of Species":
"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers having been originally breathed into a few forms, or into one; and that whilst this planet goes cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved."
This is the passage from which Prof. Dawkins took the title of his own book, "Endless Forms Most Beautiful". Tuomas mirrored that title for the album on which this piece appears. The entire album, with the exception of perhaps one instrumental piece, is recognition and homage to Prof. Dawkins' book. That exception is titled "The Eyes of Sharbat Gula", and is worth a listen on its own.
Your first taste of Nightwish was their magnum opus. That's like a professional baseball player whose first big-league hit is a grand slam.
Hehe you really went into the deep end at your first Nightwish encounter 😁 Subscribed, not because of Nightwish (although they are my favourite band in the world) but you’re a good egg, thanks for this video!
Thanks a lot for your kind words towards me i really appreciate.
You changed the world
Awesome reaction! Next song Ghost Love score from wacken 2013 😉🤘🤘
Awesome reaction. We really love that we found "collabstreet" and have been very impressed by each member we've watched so far. Hope you continue in your Nightwish journey as we'd love to follow you. Going to check out your new channel tonight. You were so accurate in your comments on this first reaction. Stay safe and enjoy your NW ride.
Awesome! Thank you so much for the support! We certainly intent to do more reactions to Nightwish. We will pass the kind words on to Joseff.
great band
We are here!
By the way, the song was not quite over. There was one more little story bit from Dawkins at the very end.
Also* they change it up btw lol not every song necessarily sounds the same. Ghost love score gets hype lol😂🤣🤣
