Centuries from now, musicians will still be studying Tuomas' music.
I've listened to this song a lot and there are still new things to discover. Thank you for pointing out that the tempo increases at the end of the intro. I think it represents that time seems to go faster as you get older.
A Lovely Bunch Of Coconuts is the company of the current Nightwish lineup and Jukka Nevalainen (their 1st drummer).
🤟Thank you! Yes, indeed a masterpiece to explore more and more everytime.
Thanks for a good reaction🇫🇮
hope that people buy their album too! I made preorder and waiting September😀😀
I made too,atmos and normal version
WOW - just WOW!
Yes, Tuomas wrote it. That was Troy singing at the end.
Lead single from the upcoming 10th studio album, Yesterwynde. The record is the 3rd in a trilogy of albums, along with Endless Forms Most Beautiful and Human:II:Nature ,with themes of life, science, nature, evolution ,etc. You already checked out The Greatest Show On Earth, that was part of EFMB. Those multiple vocal harmonies are the 'chorus of ancestors'.
2 more music videos are supposed to come out before the album releases on Sep 20.
Excellent reaction and someone who actually comprehends this story! ❤
Very good reaction to this Masterpiece. Thankx🤘
I love this song, and you're right. Every time I listen it, I find something new, not recognized before. Great reaction, buddy.
Excellent analysis my friend. Two more videos coming before the full record on September 20. Floor is doing well after giving birth to her 2nd daughter a few months back. She performed a solo show last night in The Netherlands. Doing another show tomorrow.
It's not few month,she gave birth October
Floor did her first solo show on 8 Dec 2023, after having her baby in early Oct.
Not sure if the last 2 videos will come.out before the release. I'm not a connaisseur but if I wanted to sell albums, I'd make sure the second one came out on Sept 20th and the 3rd one after. Would love if they came out before though.
Enjoyed very much Thankyou
Thanks for the great reaction and analysis! It is a song that gets better and better the more you listen to it (like great music usually does).
Floor is doing just fine, just went to her solo concert last week. Great as always ❣️
Glad you enjoyed it and could appreciate the video and the composition. This is Tuomas when he can write without the restriction of the previous singers.
Hello Sir, greetings from UK
That was another very insightful reaction, thank you 😊
I thought you would love this one when you got to it and was a bit surprised how long it took!
It is certainly true you can listen to this a hundred times, as I have, and keep finding things you missed.
The Perfume of the Timeless represents, to me, that lingering indefinable sense of past lives, in this case represented by perfume that stays long after someone has left.
There is also a lot of Cycle of Life in here (in the video represented by things like the swirling circles of birds, Tuomas becoming a tree etc) and so on.
Darwin's butterflies maker an appearance in the museum sequences together with the "curious ghosts" of the lyrics, represented by each band member and particularly Tuomas browsing the Darwin library of books.
We even have Einstein de-evolving into an ape!
Here's a snippet from an interview with Tuomas:
"The first single, Perfume Of The Timeless, is nearly 10 minutes long. Not exactly easing people in, are you?"
“No! But, when we had the first meeting with Nuclear Blast, talking about the new album and singles, I told them, the first single will be a song called Perfume Of The Timeless, and it's eight-and-a-half minutes long, and the chorus comes in at 3:30. And they were like, ‘Perfect!’ I think that has to do with the fact that we have a long legacy. You know, we can do whatever we want, and I do, but it says something that we can do that, when I heard that for Spotify it’s good to have the vocals start after 15 seconds, or people skip it, they don’t have the attention span anymore.”
"What does the title, Yesterwynde, mean?"
“It’s a made-up word. There's this thing called The Dictionary Of Obscure Sorrows. It gave me the idea that if you don't have an English word to describe a certain emotion, you can just make your own. This particular dictionary is dedicated to that, like, the feeling of longing for a place that you have never been in. What is that feeling? And it was something weird, I can remember. And this album was born from a certain sensation that I felt really strongly, but I couldn't find a word in human language to describe it. So I started to talk with Troy [Donockley, multi-instrumentalist] and said, ‘Should we come up with a new word? Does that make any sense to you?’ And he's like, ‘Yeah, that's a brilliant idea. What did you have in mind?’ It was something like time, memories going black and white, sepia, and I said, ‘something yesterday’. Then he said, ‘How about Yesterwynde?’ That's perfect! But yeah, it's just a made up word to describe what the album is about."
As to the free diving, this reflects Tuomas' lifelong obsession with the oceans (he did, after all, consider becoming a marine biologist).

There is much more to say about the song and the video, of course
Nightwish not only produce the best music currently being composed, but their videography team under Ville and the Lovely Bunch of Coconuts team (who have been producing Nightwish videos for years) are also the best in the business
I heard orchestral version and its beutiful, its not only violin but alot of celo its great choirs
"Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" is the name of the production company. Sometimes you will also see "Oy" after it. To the best of my research, Oy is a legal abbreviation in Finnish that is analogous to our "LLC" or "Ltd."
Yep, Oy is abbreviation from "osakeyhtiö" and it means limited company. A Lovely Bunch Of Coconuts is the company of the current Nightwish lineup and Jukka Nevalainen. It's easiest to start a new company if there are lineup changes, so the paperwork stays in order. They have used many different companies - scene nation, oily empire etc.
@@ValtteL Thanks for the confirmation and the additional information that I did not know! I knew that Dun & Bradstreet lists our beloved former drummer Jukka as (I forget the actual title they quote, but I think it is same as....) Chief Executive Officer of Oily Empire but I did not know that Lovely Bunch of Coconuts was another similar organization. I had thought it was a separate business entity that Nightwish just contracted with to produce videos. Good to know the real story!!
Great reaction! Thanks for posting..
Thanks for the reaction! You have to hear and study this song many times :) The dramatic moments at the end, when the asteroid hits the earth and the 2/3 of life on earth died.... have you seen the human, that turns back into a monkey? Thats a hint, that the earth needs a second attemp to build up intelligent life... and there are so many other puzzles to solve :)
This should get added to the Nightwish big 3 list to make it the big 4. This song is timeless!🤘🎸
🤗🍒🤘🏻 well done
Thanks❤❤❤
Nightwish has a holding company called Oily Empire Ltd Oy. Jukka, their former drummer, is CEO of this company. As it was explained to me on the sadly defunct Nightwish forum, the band creates a new daughter company for each new venture. Sounds plausible to me. A Lovely Bunch Of Coconuts would be the newest daughter company, managing the income and outlays of their upcoming Yesterwynde album.
That third chorus hits me like that meteor. I'm obviously biased by my own singing voice, I think Troy's part might have been really good sung by a Bass.
Yes, you immediately recognized the time aspect of the theme. The album from which this is taken is titled "Yesterwynde," and the cover art is a surrealist representation of a clockface on a spiral winding timeline stretching backward into the past. Now, with that in mind, did you notice the cute little owl who was spinning his head around like a motor? Notice it is spinning counterclockwise, i.e., backwards. I believe that he speeds it up to a breakneck rate to suggest we must look further back beyond our human ancestors to consider what came even before that.
And in that vein, I'll point out one other little "Easter Egg" he has hidden in here for us. Right after the book telling us, "In order to be born you needed...," but before showing us the power of 2 progression of parents, it cuts to a primordial amphibian diving into the water tank in the library. Why? It's a mystery. For now. But then we see the power of 2 text followed by vignettes of the free-diver. So what? Well, a bit later, it cuts back to the library. Who is swimming in the little water tank? Not the amphibian who dove in but the human free-diver. This Easter Egg is reminding us of a common-thread Nightwish theme since Day One of the band: That we humans are "Oceanborn." We are "ocean souls." There are dozens of other Easter Eggs in this video that remain a mystery to me and likely will for quite some time to come!
do also harvest of their last album.... great video 🙂
A lot of beautiful poetic Tuomas lines in this song, my favorite (about DNA?):
"Mosaic of broken fragile pieces
Tesserae of the deceased
Born to another world"
And for me you remain one of the best NW reactors🤩
Awe thanks! 🙏
multiple vocal harmonies - chorus of the ancestors. The name Lovely Bunch of Coconuts may be a reference to an old hit by comedian Danny Kaye, ruclips.net/video/xcJpeISKQQg/видео.html

Thanks for your great reaction to this masterpiece. Here's some probability calculations:
Step 1. Probability of a boy meeting a girl to have a romantic relationship with: one in 20,000.
Step 2. Probability of that same boy knocking up that same girl: one in 2000.
Step 3. Probability of right sperm meeting right egg: one in 400 quadrillion.
Step 4. Now lets assume that you have just those 12 generations of ancestors mentioned in the intro to this song. For the probability of every one of those 12 generations of your ancestors having reproduced successfully with right sperm having met the right egg is (20k x 2k x 400 quadrillion) to the 12th power. Going backwards in time with even more generations of your ancestors, we soon reach a probability of 1 divided by the number of atoms in the entire universe. This makes each one of us a unique miracle.
P.S. Most, if not all, of the free diving sections are taken from Guillaume Néry's short film "One Breath Around The World", which you can watch on his YT channel. His thongs are in fact extra weight to adjust his buoyancy.
Thank you for your reaction. Greetings from nwAse Sweden 😅
