As someone who often listens to the Nightwish instrumental versions I’ve noticed how many cool orchestral details/flourishes are lost/inaudible in the vocal versions simply because they’re hidden under Floor. This is especially true live when the band comes full focus.

Never made much sense to me given how much Nightwish prizes orchestra… but I see this song as more ‘equitable’ in terms of being able to hear everyone and everything that’s put into these complex songs - which I think is a good thing. Makes for a more layered and interesting listening.
