Greetings from the UK.. Thank you for your reactions to this album which has become my favourite Nightwish album.of all time (I go back with Nightwish as far as Angels Fall First and with the magnificent Floor to the days of After Forever). Hiraeth is a favourite track on the album although it is difficult to pick 1 favourite track. Floor's vocals on the first chorus when it is just her glorious voice are simply superb (no disrespect to Troy) and reduce me to tears no matter how often I hear them. I think you will find that memories become more important the older you get. I am in my mid 70's and find myself being drawn back to events in my life (not always good times but small events that I would not necessarily have thought important at the time). Memories of family and especially those who are no longer with us seem more important the older you get. Only The Weave left to go now.. I don't think it will disappoint you. Once again thanks for taking your time to do these reactions.
Just a stunning song, Nightwish at their creative best, and if anything The Weave is even better. Those who like to say they've lost their way, that without Marco they're done, well, I suggest that they either haven't listened recently or they are just stuck on their nostalgia (ironic given the theme of this song) of a point in time that they fell in love with the band. Nightwish defies convention and will constantly grow and evolve and honestly I think this album shows they still have so much to offer 🤘
Your reaction made me smile 😊 It’s nice to see a reactor really enjoying the music. The nostalgic place for me must be summers at the summer cabin when I was a kid. Going fishing with my dad or doing some wood crafting with him. 😊 The Christmas time nostalgia is definitely watching Raymond Briggs’ Snowman animation from tv. Most of us Finns have that in common. I still watch it every year. 😁 Thank you for your reaction! ☺️🇫🇮📚
This song made me burst into tears the first time I heard it, right at the end of the first chorus. I had to pack up and leave the only home I ever knew about ten years ago, I know what it's like to water the dead fields, longing for a past that's no longer possible. The blue pigment in my right iris started flaking away around the same time, it's almost completely brown now. So when they sang "Living with the hurt will tear the blue from shining eyes" I kinda lost it.
Hi there again! It gave me warm feeling to see you enjoy this song so much. I tried to listen it with "fresh" ears, because it's so familiar to me allready. Tuomas 's birthday is on christmasday...and his memory about reading Lord of the rings, is when he was only 6years 'old'. So very mature for his age. My happy christmas-memories are from the time when my grantfather still lived. We visited him every christmas, in another town 500km from home. He was very special to me because grandmother had died when I was less than year old. Thank you so much for this and I begin waiting for last reaction of this album...Kaisa ❤
Kaisa :) you're so early, good to see you. It gave me a very warm feeling as well, I'm happy that feeling spread through the screen. Oh, he's born on the 25th? So he's basically the Jesus of our generation. :D Do you know if he really read it himself? With 6 that would be quite something, just asking because my father read it to me when I was young, because in the beginning I was still to young for the movies haha. Thank you for sharing your Christmas memories with us. I bet the Christmas days in Finland are magical. I scheduled 'The Weave' for the 23rd. So we can finish up before Christmas.
Thank you for letting me know schedule for Weave. Today I was watching interview where Tuomas tells about his favourite albums, when you released this reaction. Day before I saw interview where Plamen Dinov..Tuomas 's music teacher from Kitee told that Tuomas' s mother told him about reading Lord of rings first time at that age...6 years only. It was the moment he understood what kind of remarkable person he is teaching music...
danke für deine Reaction. Und Du hast für mich recht, sie sind wirklich sehr speziell. ich höre NW und Floor jeden Tag. jeden Tag. Floors Stimme - da läuft mir ein Schauer über den Rücken, meist.
This song is so beautiful with all of its twists and turns 😊 Have you watched Making of Yesterwynde yet? When I think about my childhood, the best times were when we played in the forest with my brother and my friends, climbed on big rocks there and on a tree in our backyard. Carefree. I think all of that is my happy place 😊
🖤FLOOR JANSEN 💪Valkyrie Queen🖤 🥇Most versatile singer. 🥇Best theatrical storyteller. 🥇Beautiful personal appearance on stage. 🥇Has the most contact with the crowd. 🥇 Really knows how to entertain the crowd. 🥇 Frontwoman with most years active with Nightwish. 🥇 More reliable than...🥈Tarja (fired) 🥉Anette (quits in the middle of tour). Having said that, I still feel I'm selling Floor short😔
I agree wholeheartedly. SPECIAL! Enjoy and savor the warmth of the Yule season. 15 hours of darkness. Then the sun returns tomorrow to start to increase the daylight slowly conquering the night.
We had a christmas tradition to go to the newest Disney movie every year before christmas. We went to the christmas market and after that my parents got us cinema tickets and then waited in a Café until we had seen the movie. This and waiting for christmas eve are my best memorys. My parents closed the living room a few days before for us, because we should not distract the Christ Child doing "its work". And the moment we could go in everything was there, the christmastree, the grip and the presents. It was pure magic for me as a child 😊

Just a little correction. Tuomas is born the same year as me so at 1984 he must be 8 years old ...
