The life and times of Scrooge Tuomas and his wife Johanna.
Also this song reminds me of preparing for death. But it's nice Johanna has this sweet child like innocent vocals.
Some were hoping Auri would perform live. But next year more and more Nightwish shows are being added going into the Summer Festivals, and then recording and promoting new Nightwish album to be released in 2024. Auri will have to wait for when and if time permits.
Johanna looks like a fairy princess from Disney and her voice is absolutely beautiful. Tuomas has the amazing capability to write music perfect for the one who is singing his music, Auri sure is a prove of that.
I hope you react to Tuomas Holopainen - A LIFETIME OF ADVENTURE (official video) from his 2014 solo project/album, 'Music Inspired by the Life and Times of Scrooge', a graphic novel by Don Rosa, the illustrator/storyteller. It took Tuomas ONLY 15 years from initial idea to make it happen.
Don Rosa knew nothing about Tuomas or Nightwish, and was very sceptical when Tuomas went to talk to him about his idea when Don Rosa was doing promotion in Finland. He thought he might never hear from Tuomas again. Two years later Tuomas told Don Rosa the album was being recorded in London with an orchestra. Don Rosa thought he might have to pretend he likes the album, but when he heard the demo he was in tears.
Background info in their own words:
"Tuomas Holopainen and Don Rosa interviewed by Radio Nova", parts 1&2,
only 5 minutes altogether.
Delicate vocals by Johanna Kurkela, Tuomas' wife. Don Rosa appears on the video, drawing.
0:35 Flipster 2nd Johanna right.
Auri is Tuomas, Johanna and Troy. If and when they play live, Kai will be the drummer. The big difference between Nightwish and Auri is that in Auri they compose and write lyrics together, it's not only Tuomas' show. In Nightwish, Tuomas is a solo worker in terms of composing and lyrics. Johanna is a very experienced singer, she has been one of Finland's best artists for a long time.
Night 13 has interesting backstory. Tuomas has been writing short novels since 2012. They are hidden in a desk drawer and he intends to publish them some day. Night 13 is made from one of those stories.
A lifetime of adventure, is also a song with Johanna is singing... another masterpiece from Tuomas Holopainen
Yes, Johanna Kurkela, I love her voice.
From their first self titled album(2018). The second album ,II -Those We Don't Speak Of, was released last year, which I think Kai played on.
Next year they may actually get time to play live.
Try Pearl Diving from the second album.
A very moving song to reflect about life. I thought it was amazing how they show the big boulder on side of hill, once carried there by a glacier. It always makes me think of the passage of time and how we need to enjoy life while we are alive.
This is one of my favourite Auri songs. Johanna's voice is so pretty and in this song I totally admire the fact that she can deliver its heavy message with such grace.
Auri's music typically gets better and better, every time you listen to it. Don't expect any electric guitars and bass though. They have described their own music as celestial metal, with influences from folk music, Celtic music and soundtracks.
I loved it.
I thought it was great.
Both Tuomas and his wife Johanna are big movie music fans. I am sure it is a source of inspiration, and the London Symphony Tuomas works with is famous for playing the music scores for well known movies.
This is such a beautiful song. My favorite of Auri is "pearl diving" a piece of art.
Yep Troy on acoustic Guitar and Ebow, Tuomas on keys and Johanna on vocals - think it was Kai on drums at the end
Kai didn't play on the first album. Frank Van Essen is listed as the drummer / Percussionist together with Troy on Bodhrán
Thanks fore The reaction, Poets of the fall from Finland is also a really good band to react to.😊🇫🇮
thanks again for Sabaton i left notes love yall
Absolutely
This is one of the songs that will forever remind me of my dad, and will be played at my funeral (hopefully not too soon) - such a moving song - take care and God bless
Beautiful! Never heard this before. My Mom would love this.
I love this song and would have it at my funeral, from memory one of Floors family had it at their funeral.
Troy in a interview said this a song about death and regeneration , Troy also said There is a masterpiece by Richard Strauss the composer.
Troy said about the name Auri, my interpretation was from the word Aura which means emanation and golden atmospheric, atmosphere.
Strauss’s Death and Transfiguration, a powerful tone poem that explores the ultimate mystery of what lies beyond earthly existence.
This i found about Strauss work as he lay dying
All at once, the pain falls away, and the transfiguration theme now appears in a more complete guise: “there appears to him the fruit of his life’s path, the conception, the ideal which he has sought to realize, to present artistically, but which he has not been able to complete, since it is not for man to be able to accomplish such things.” But, in order to be transfigured, he must leave this world. The pained music of the slow introduction returns as “The hour of death approaches […]” The intense music of suffering returns once more, vanishing with the stroke of a gong as “the soul leaves the body in order to find gloriously achieved in everlasting space those things which could not be fulfilled here below.” -Calvin Dotsey
When Johanna cries into the night at the end of the song Night 13 "Now i know"
Auri is a character from the fantasy novel series The Kingkiller by Patrick Rothfuss. Both Tuomas and Johanna are big fans of the series. Auri as a character symbolizes purity, innocence and forces of good.
@@stamasd8500 Thankyou in the same interview, i read that Tuomas and Johanna liked the Patrick Rothfuss books, troy said he had not read his books and had his own interpretation of the meaning to the word Auri,
I think the music is beautiful and glad you are a fan
"The Space Between" and "Pearl Diving" from Auri are also good. Since you seem to like Johanna's voice, two great songs from her solo career: "Rakkauslaulu" (Love song) and "Kuolevainen" (Mortal). You could also check out her singing with Marko (ex-Nightwish) "Oi, jouluajan ihmiset" ("O People of Christmastime", the Finnish version of "The Wexford Carol").
Superbe touch of Tuomas, the background présence of Troy and the beautiful voice of Johanna ......
Uk 🇬🇧 Norfolk with you guys Auri so good like the song pearl diving
If you want to hear more of Johanna, aside from the second album of Auri, also check out the band 'Eye of Melian'! Cinematic music by Martijn Westerholt of Duch symphonic metal band Delain, with Johanna's angelic vocals! The album is from 2022, try Vita Nova or Doorway of Night.
I concur
I concur. I also love The Bell. The lyricist for the songs is Martijn's wife Robin La Joy. i believe she is an academic expert on Tolkien literature.
What can I say.... Tuomas is a master of song making... jeez ...
It is also so sensitive,
the voice of his dear Wife💓
is so sweet, really beautiful. What I know is that Floor Jansen has a 🐴 horse called Auri❣️
Love from the Netherlands ❤️😘
Wish you a peaceful day
✌️🌹
I think (not sure) that at least part of the percussion on this track is Troy playing the bodhrán, an Irish handheld frame drum. Auri is so good, hope to see them live one day. More suggestions for you if you liked this: A Lifetime of Adventure, from Tuomas' solo album The Life And Times of Scrooge McDuck; and the new album Legends of Light by Eye of Melian (with again Johanna singing). Any track off that album, really. They're all so good.
Nice reaction to another lovely song. I’ll be watching out for your own new release’s. Love you all. 🫶🤘
I will forever love this song
Lovely reaction. I truly love Auri and Johanna's beautiful voice. It is more of folky, cetlicy vibe. Many think that this was the sound Tuomas wanted to do originally but because of Tarja's powerful operatic voice he decided to go the metak route which he also loved. My favorite Auri songs are The Space Between, Desert Flower (Troy sings as well). and The Valley.
Johanna is an accomplished singer with a deep rabbit hole of music. I loved her in Altamullen Road where she sings with Johanna Livanainen. When It's Time is a beautiful song about an old person who's spouse has passed. They are remembering their beautiful life together and hoping to see them again when they die. ruclips.net/video/PBeCoAOP5d0/видео.html.
Concur with others on Lifetime of Adventure and Johanna's other project with Eye of Melian which is fantasy move score music with lots of references Tolkien (the lyricst is a professor of Tolkien literature).
Tuomas uses this side project to explore more subtle music and deep level subjects. The one guy was a famous Finnish actor who was portraying a man recently deceased and gaining the awareness of his passing while awaiting his soul passing over to a new plane of existence.
Chrissy did hear some percussion which was supplied by Troy on the bodhrán, which is an Irish frame drum consisting of a circular wooden frame covered with a goatskin head on one side. It is played by striking the skin with a small wooden stick known as a bodhrán beater, tipper or cipín.
Auri is not a rock band, all the songs are pretty much like this. Johanna is also singing in Tuomas' solo album, you can see her in A Lifetime of Adventure video.
Delain is a Dutch symphonic metal band. Marco Hietala made some collabs with this band. Please react to the video titled "Delain ft. Marco Hietala - The Gathering - Masters of Rock 2017 DVD". It's a very entertaining song.
The video titled "DELAIN feat. Marco Hietala - Sing To Me (Official Lyric Video)" is also a really good one.
I second that. I also like Delain feat. Marko "Nothing Left".
I don't think you have reacted to this but it's beautiful tuomas holopainen a lifetime of adventure video God bless
Auri produce some absolutely beautiful music, they are Tuomas and Troy from Nightwish and Johanna (Tuomas's wife) they write together unlike Nightwish, they started a long time ago when Tuomas and Troy knew they had to write/work together, The whole sound is they aim to produce music they want to listen to, while having no limits they are more accoustic focussed.
Thuomas is also part of a Black metal band Darkwoods My Betrothed
Drummer is Kai Hahto.
Tuomas is in 3 completely different (genre) bands at the same time. He isn't constricted by any music "box" and can express his talent however he sees fit (not that he does everything, alone).
Thanks for this & should any of you like Don Rosa's Disney comics about Scrooge McDuck, this is a must reaction with Johanna on vocals: TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN - A Lifetime of Adventure (OFFICIAL VIDEO) ruclips.net/video/JWwSVOo5K_k/видео.html
08:14 subs says Tuomas Jalapeno ;)
Johanna has another outlet for her immense talent Altamullan Road where she is joined by Johanna Livanainen - this will give you a taste - ruclips.net/video/b29AS4FewG8/видео.html
Johannas live performance with Jarkko Ahola reveals her skills. ruclips.net/video/amKy5qe8bUA/видео.html
Interesting. The vocalist has a lovely voice, and I like when they picked up more aggressive drums and instruments toward the end, but this is really not my style of music. And I found the lyrics disturbing; not sure if the protagonist is about to commit suicide or just die. And the video was just...distracting. For me, it did not add anything to the music. Entertaining for a single listen, but not something I will go back to I am afraid.
And yes, the obvious commitment of your innermost self and love for music is awesome. Combined with the engrossing lyrics of your songs makes for both enjoyment and involvement at a higher level. Continued thanks for sharing this journey with us. Stay safe, God bless, and keep rocking.
Yeah, I don't like the video either, even though I like the song. My interpretation of the lyrics is that the protagonist is already dead and in some kind of peaceful and pleasant temporary "intermediate state" before whatever happens after that. But others may interpret it differently. I've seen a few people comment that they thought the song was about dementia. That might fit some parts of it but others not so much. Perhaps "The Space Between" by Auri would be more to your liking. It has more aggressive drums/instruments throughout the song.
@@HaecceitasQuidditas Yeah, lyrics (especially the one Tuomas writes) are open to interpretation, which is something I love and always a good debate over a beer. Since I have zero musical ability, I am a lyrics guy. The hours I've wasted listening to crap bands because the song lyrics are so intriguing! I'll give The Space Between a listen, thanks for the idea. Always looking for a new band to dig into.
@@alancarter41 Hi just reading through the comments and thought i would give some insight to the lyrics.
Troy in an interview said the lyrics were about Death and regeneration,
He gave the work of Richard Strauss tone poem Death and Transfiguration
(Tod Und Verklarung) Strauss’s Death and Transfiguration, is a powerful tone poem that explores the ultimate mystery of what lies beyond earthly existence.
Troy said " When you listen to the final howl into space from Johanna "Now I know", to me it's really uplifting, even though the song behind it is dark and mysterious. She's realizing something and the scream is out of shock, it's the shock of the news. Hopefully this will be expressed in the video,"
@@nightwisher751 Interesting take. Rereading the lyrics, there is an element of that, even though to me it seems muted and not the driving point. Tuomas lyrics are always intriguing. I can listen to Song of Myself at different times and see a totally different song. One reason I love his work. Hate to tell Troy, the only thing that popped into my head from the visuals was St Vitas Days Dance.
@@alancarter41 As I came across the "dementia" interpretation of these lyrics in a couple of comments, I tried to construe the most interesting version of it. IMO, it would be one in which a dementia patient *mistakenly thinks* that the hospice is "the other side". But I can't make total sense of that in light of some lyrics ("younger than yesterday", "no memory lost", etc.) so I think I'll stick to my other interpretation. Without having heard Troy's comments alluded by Doug.P, I suppose "death and regeneration" is roughly in line with how I would have interpreted it.
No. Auri is not rock. You suspected incorrectly. Folkish would be more correct although that is not right either. To me Johanna is proof that Finnish Elves do exist.
