NW is showing the real us! And showing what we are missing! Tech is not bad, what is bad is what we human do with it! All the video is symbolic, the virtual vs real reality! Great Reaction!
The most important message is that most of the information that we take in through our cell phones and social media is not in accordance with the truth. We are ruled by fake information, fake news and false stories that we take for true. We are so drowned and indoctrinated by this endless noise of misinformation that we have lost the ability to recognize truth and see the world as it actually is.
Thanks for your reaction. For the past 400 hundred plus days, I have not had a day go by without hearing NW, via reactions, Wacken, Tampere, London et al. Many interviews, documentaries etc were at my fingertips. I had nothing more than my old plus size phone. I’m a grandmother in America. For 12 hours, I have shared in the global NW community as we time zone discover together. It’s a group experience without boundaries. There is positive in it. This album will blow us away. Human album will be intense and deeply familiar, both looking back and looking to future humanity as it evolves. Nature album will be the audible reminder of how to live now, with E’lan. Perfect time to experience Nightwish, both longtime and newtime audio/visual Humans.
The idea of the song and the start with the baby remind me a lot of the video of the song "XXI century blood" by The Warning. You should react to it too! (The song itself is very different).
Disclaimer, no Empuu's got harmed filming this video. Empuu being stabbed symbolize two things; Social media conformity, if you have a opinion that don't fit, people will attack you either on socialmedia or in the real world(or both). Kai symbolize how the world of the passive onlookers function. The people who endulge in the harassment online or even in real life. We have all seen it, one person being attacked on social media and sometimes even in real life and instead of stepping in, they instead silently watch the situation unfold or even enjoy the process.
I think Kai's role is more insidious. He's not just a passive onlooker. He's taking a screenshot of being in front of the group hurting Empuu. He's selling himself as being part of the crowd that does something to protect society from those with divergent opinions (when of course the reality is we don't need this type of protection).
It also made me think of how when we see a person in trouble, we don’t help them because we think “this isn’t my place and someone else might help” when no one does.
In case, You are wondering, hot blonde doing selfies in lingerie is Finnish Instagram model named Jessica Edström. I don't think that she's officially member of Nightwish, but maybe Jessica might posing around on stage like she did in this video during Nightwish 2020 tour starts in May. Sadly, there is official dates for USA, maybe in 2021.
Nice review, mate. Great song. I think your face had the same look mine did when I first heard that heavy change two thirds of the way through. The message is pretty clear. Tuomas being the keyboard environmentalist was fun. I think they covered a lot of what’s shallow and obnoxious about our digital habits.
This is from an article on the album, about the music video. I think it hit the nail on the head: “People are depicted as a cult of hooded figures, focusing on nothing else but their cellphones while the world around goes to hell. A blonde Instagram model prances about in a photoshoot, almost showing some good old T&A in the process, while hollow-headed followers drool over her and tap their likes. A child wearing a gas mask is sacrificed to the altar of pollution and multiplied Floor takes selfies with a girl who looks like she’s from a children’s beauty pageant, while Tuomas goes around hugging trees and nurturing sprouts of green. Someone gets beaten to pulp while the onlookers just snap away with their cellphones. This is a rude awakening, a vicious backlash to every superficial modern phenomenon, starting from our slavery to social media to prescription drug abusers to consumerism, pollution to egotist personal branding. Nightwish has never been so mean before. This will ruffle a lot of feathers. The end of the video sees the viewpoint rise above the noise that all this is, and shows a vista of a sunrise on a lake in the distance, showing that everything that ever mattered is elsewhere, not on the screen of our phones and computers.”
This video has so many details and messages that it is impossible to adopt all at once. The small items indicate the wrong and weird way of living and many aspects we should correct. Mona Lisa will stay unnoticed on the wall while all just stare mobile phones and when Emppu makes his move to differ from the monotonic mass he gets beaten and Kai do not care about his friend when just taking selfies....So much more...
Very good analysis of the videoclip. Thank you for that 👍 You said « Elan » was the only video for the album endless forms most beautiful but there is another for the title track. A « lyric video » but with a good visual intro and the band playing so it’s like a normal music video.
Yes thank you Alexander I was going to request this also react to RED sever from their upcoming album declaration it comes out April 10th the same day as Nightwish human nature.

Looking forward to the instrumentals, Since the Imaginarium album..🎼
Emppu has seen the truth. He must be punished for understanding what they are doing to all of us. We are all responsible and are victims of their nefarious plans. Put down your devices for a little while and live. Don't let them get you addicted to digital toys.
Took it as he did or said something on social media that went against the grain and got targeted and attacked for it. Just like happens all the time, people attack others en mass for going against popular opinion or saying anything really that "is wrong" according to the others.. I mean, if someone comes to this reaction video and says "eh, nightwish is o.k." they didnt say it sucked.. just not their things... I bet they would be attacked for that opinion. I have seen many who have reviewed nightwish, most love it but, anyone who even slightly seemed to not like the music.. oh wow.. their comments have blown up with attacks on them.. ;) Love the song, approve of the message and visuals added to convey it!
how about putting yourself smaller in the video? either that or buy a better cam, because I almost didn't recognise you on these 6 blurry pixels. otherwise great reaction though :)
Its amazing!!!! Ofcourse the song is referring to our modern obsessions such as vanity, ego, social media, selfies, technology, and big pharma pushing pills. We've disconnected from nature in favor of our own obsessions. Us as humans bringing our "Noise" to the planet, an otherwise soundless world. We are so distracted by the comforts of technology, we forget to appreciate the true beauty in this world. As The monks show, we are "digital ghouls". We cant appreciate true beauty even if it's right in front of us. Kai seems to represent those who see something happening, instead of helping, they'd rather post on social media. Emppu is with the rest of the monks, worshipping their technology when theres a masterpiece right in front of them. As soon as he looks up breaking "the norm" and what's expected, and gets attacked. We worship technology and social media almost like it's a religion. As seen, as soon as Emppu looked away from the phone, look what happened. Also, Floor and her baby. Her baby being conditioned to our current way of life from a very young age. You can also see shes trapped by it when shes in Floors cage dress later. As well as Social Media Moms constantly showing off their children like some kind of trophy and being overprotective. If I could sum it in just a few of my own words, it would be.. THE TOXICITY OF HUMAN POLLUTION This song has an incredible energy. No one held back. Floor and Kai really came through and Emppus guitar...oh man. If this is the "radio friendly" first single, we are in for one hell of an album!!!!
Great reaction. My interpretation: Troy is representing Donald Trump tweeting while taking a shit, you can see the Capitol building in the background when he leaves the throne lol. Floor represents people who share their private and perfect "lives" in social media, but you can realize she plays an overprotective mother. Tuomas is playing an eco activist who share in social media his passion for the environment, but his lifestyle isn't eco friendly. Emppu is stabbed with a phone. The monks represent today's people who share their opinions on social media and they treat social media as a religion, when someone has a different opinion is cyberbullied. The instagram model represents people who is obsessed with vanity.

ahh you were doing the 365day Nightwish challenge lol!

Yeah - the 'twitterati' can be ruthless. And Kai taking selfies of the carnage instead of helping...
I think Kai's role is more insidious. He's not just a passive onlooker. He's taking a screenshot of being in front of the group hurting Empuu.

Here we go once again.. 54th heartattack by Jessica :D Thanks for the reaction tho!
Just so you know the second disc is one massive song that has 8 parts with no lyrics.
yep vocals but no lyrics so that should be real interesting!
Very good analysis of the videoclip. Thank you for that 👍 You said « Elan » was the only video for the album endless forms most beautiful but there is another for the title track. A « lyric video » but with a good visual intro and the band playing so it’s like a normal music video.
All NW fans and reactors: always do nightwish live, that’s always better than the music video
Nightwish: hold my beer
Yes thank you Alexander I was going to request this also react to RED sever from their upcoming album declaration it comes out April 10th the same day as Nightwish human nature.
Looking forward to the instrumentals,
Since the Imaginarium album..🎼
I have that same shirt
Emppu has seen the truth. He must be punished for understanding what they are doing to all of us. We are all responsible and are victims of their nefarious plans. Put down your devices for a little while and live. Don't let them get you addicted to digital toys.
the guy just got 'stabbed' or attacked because he was 'different'... not according to our wicked norm we set. symbolized by his red screen.
Took it as he did or said something on social media that went against the grain and got targeted and attacked for it. Just like happens all the time, people attack others en mass for going against popular opinion or saying anything really that "is wrong" according to the others.. I mean, if someone comes to this reaction video and says "eh, nightwish is o.k." they didnt say it sucked.. just not their things... I bet they would be attacked for that opinion.

Great reaction.
