Thanks for posting! This song works much better as an instrumental than the actual song. (although to be honest, it's really just the narrations that pop in and out that I can't stand, the singing itself is fine)

I wonder if there is a version without animal sounds of this. I just have misophonia and animal sounds are difficult for my ears and ugghughu... But other than that this is a masterpiece.
I think it is Richard Dawkins (or maybe troy) and he says something like "It never seems to occur to people what a man might just work to write a piece of music", which if you speak spanish means "La gente no se imagina lo que una persona tiene que trabajar para escribir una canción".
SO glad they released an instrumental version of this. Now I can cut together a version with the amazing vocals but without the shitty voiceovers. Then I can decide what to do about the animal noises.
Please! Show this masterpiece to the UN (ONU)!! It deserves to be the Hymn for the Earth!!
SCREW THE UN! They deserve to be destroyed and crushed! NO other country controls what WE do, ONLY US!..
24:01 *It never seems to occur to people that a man might just want to write a piece of music!*
You can learn so much about orchestral writing listening to this songs.
11:29 the best part !!! Always gives me chills !
I love voices of Floor and Marco, but that instrumental music is beautiful!!
The piano at 15:39 repeating the same melody as the Four Point Six intro always gives me chills, the story has been building up to this.
that arpeggio is very well placed .. great piano exercise tbh
I think they wanted to indicate the toolmakers return to the prior state
I still can't imagine what this must have been like to record such a HUGE song. Whatever they went through, it sure did pay off phenomenally.
Partially. Then mixing. No one records songs at once
The ending lol! Love it!
As great as the original is, some songs are definitely just better instrumental.
+Alan Embree Nightwish is an extraordinary band. Rarely instrumental versions work like theirs do.
better than original !!!!
such a hard song to sing
That change from G to E minor
oof, nice reference to Imaginaerum
Hahaa I see what you did there
Nightwish + Richard Dawkins = Best song on earth.
AMAZING! MASTERFUL! EPIC! IT's whole LIFE STORY in one composition!
Everytime tears are driven in my eyes I listen to this masterpiece!

Oh man... that last sentence destroys everything
I lost it at that one xD
This is always what I think when people try to overanalyze a song again.
Excellent! Thank you for posting this!
Kenny Newby You're welcome, this is majestic
I just love this song, its the greatest song of nightwish....
Greatest instrumental on Nightwish
It’s beyond words how powerful it feels in concert when you join in at the part of “we were here”. Pretty literal too.
25 minutes of everything they are.. I cant even say in words how much I am grateful for this song existing
Greatest show on Earth indeed!
GRACIAS....GENIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Greatest Musical Masterpiece ever!
14:17 the best part 🥇
oh i hate to say that this version much better than with vocal version for me :(
Yeah amis !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I actually prefer this version to the live Tampere version. Sorry Floor, love you but I think this sounds better as a symphony.
Is it just me or does 5:01 feel straight out of the Witcher?
Yeeees,yeees, wtf, you're so right 🤯😁
And 7:15 isThe Never Ending Story
I got the new Witcher movie trailer at that point!
the last is always the part that gets me. amazing
Lyrics:
[1. Four point six]
Archaean horizon
The first sunrise
On a pristine gaea
Opus perfectum
Somewhere there, us sleeping
After sleeping through a hundred million centuries
We have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet
Sparkling with color, bountiful with life
Within decades we must close our eyes again
Isn't it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun
To work at understanding the universe
And how we have come to wake up in it?
[Richard Dawkins]
[2. Life]
The cosmic law of gravity
Pulled the newborns around a fire
A careless, cold infinity in every vast direction
Lonely farer in the goldilocks zone
She has a tale to tell
From the stellar nursery into a carbon feast
Enter luca
The tapestry of chemistry
There’s a writing in the garden
Leading us to the mother of all
We are one
We are a universe
Forbears of what will be
Scions of the devonian sea
Aeons pass
Writing the tale of us all
A day-to-day new opening
For the greatest show on earth
Ion channels welcoming the outside world
To the stuff of stars
Bedding the tree of a biological holy
Enter life
The tapestry of chemistry
There’s a writing in the garden
Leading us to the mother of all
We are one
We are a universe
Forbears of what will be
Scions of the devonian sea
Aeons pass
Writing the tale of us all
A day-to-day new opening
For the greatest show on earth
We are here to care for the garden
The wonder of birth
Of every form most beautiful
We are one
We are a universe
Forbears of what will be
Scions of the devonian sea
Aeons pass
Writing the tale of us all
A day-to-day new opening
For the greatest show on earth
[3. The toolmaker]
After a billion years
The show is still here
Not a single one of your fathers died young
The handy travelers
Out of Africa
Little Lucy of the Afar
Gave birth to fantasy
To idolatry
To self-destructive weaponry
Enter the God of gaps
Deep within the past
Atavistic dread of the hunted
Enter Ionia, the cradle of thought
The architecture of understanding
The human lust to feel so exceptional
To rule the earth
Hunger for shiny rocks
For giant mushroom clouds
The will to do just as you’d be done by
Enter history, the grand finale
Enter ratkind
Man, he took his time in the sun
Had a dream to understand
A single grain of sand
He gave birth to poetry
But one day’ll cease to be
Greet the last light of the library
Man, he took his time in the sun
Had a dream to understand
A single grain of sand
He gave birth to poetry
But one day’ll cease to be
Greet the last light of the library
Man, he took his time in the sun
Had a dream to understand
A single grain of sand
He gave birth to poetry
But one day’ll cease to be
Greet the last light of the library
We were here!
We were here!
We were here!
We were here!
[4. The understanding]
We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones
Most people are never going to die because
They are never going to be born
The potential people who could have been
Here in my place but who will in fact never see
The light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara
Certainly those unborn ghosts include
Greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton
[Richard Dawkins]
We know this because the set of possible people
Allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set
Of actual people. In the teeth of those stupefying
Odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here
We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds
How dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior
State from which the vast majority have never stirred?
[Charles Darwin]
[5. Sea-worn driftwood]
There is grandeur in this view of life
With its several powers, having been
Originally breathed into a few forms or into one
And that whilst this planet has gone cycling on
According to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple
A beginning endless forms most beautiful
And most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved
[Charles Darwin]
Good luck with the Kareoke!
This tracks is an absolute masterpiece and undoubtedly Nightwish'es greatest offering.
The Star Trek "Voyager" reference at the end with Humpback Whale!
Goosebumps, seriously!!!!

We could try to mix it with this.... ruclips.net/video/73pOKXXX6Qs/видео.html
Look for the orchestral version
The competition of the divine masculine, for the cooperation of the divine feminine.
16 people from Mars felt left out.
24:01 I think that's Marco's voice but what did he say?
I think it is Richard Dawkins (or maybe troy) and he says something like "It never seems to occur to people what a man might just work to write a piece of music", which if you speak spanish means "La gente no se imagina lo que una persona tiene que trabajar para escribir una canción".
DiegoSnip ah si, yo hablo español :v gracias :)

Left this playing and forgot the thing was on after it went quiet. Scared the f out of me with that last line.
😅
Die jemanden vielleicht unwichtig
Their vocals aren't my cup of tea, but the instrumental versions of their songs are just incredible.
I totally get it!
