Award-Winning Songwriter's First Time Reacting to Nightwish – Ghost Love Score Live

As an award‑winning songwriter and GRAMMY member, this was my FIRST TIME ever hearing Nightwish, Floor Jansen, or Ghost Love Score – and experiencing it LIVE from Wacken 2013 completely blew my mind.
In this video I react in real time to Nightwish – Ghost Love Score (Floor Jansen, Wacken 2013) and break down the vocals, songwriting, orchestration and storytelling from a classical and opera background. If you love powerful symphonic metal vocals, this Nightwish first time reaction is for you.
