    Tuomas, without you I would never even have touched a piano. Now I have released 4 albums and music is my life. I have a little bit of Nightwish deep down in every song of mine. You are a true inspiration, I hope to meet you one day. This song was magnificent

    I own the graphic novel as well and I gotta say Tuomas is right. It is beyond fantastic. This is different from every single other Disney comic. In fact, forget what you thought you knew about Disney comics, about comics in general. This isn't just ' a comic' for kids and nerds. Don Rosa created something special there. You gotta realize that he has drawn the entire life of Uncle Scrooge, mixing places and persons of our real world with the Disney fiction on such a high level it is unimaginable. If you ever wondered, why the Beagle Boys became Scrooge's arch enemies, how Ducktown came to be, who his parents and siblings were, what his childhood and youth was like, when and where he earned his first million, and the things he did, discovered and experienced, the countless people he met and places he saw long before Donald Duck was even born, it is all in there. It's no comic, it's a chronicle. And a terribly sad one, a tale of countless hardships and especially losses. And Tuomas music catches that perfectly. After you read this, Mickey Mouse will apear boring and pale to you compared to Scrooge. It will change your point of view on practically everything you thought you knew about the character who is so much more than just a very rich duck.

    • @jezkn

      You clearly don't understand what I mean. I worry for YOU because apparently you have no idea how much fun one can have with fictional characters. How sad. As if I'd think that it was real... No, it's obvious, you haven't read the graphic novel. Otherwise you'd understand what I wrote - that Rosa mixed reality and actual places and persons that really existed - like Pres. Roosevelt - with Disney fiction. Ah whatever. Writing this is a waste of time. You won't understand anyway.

    • @jezkn
      @jezkn 10 лет назад +6

      Flingship373 Oh dear - i do seem to have pressed a button here. Sorry - I was only gently teasing. It's just that we dont have this devotion to Disney duck characters in UK so its hard for us to understand but I know you Finns are brought up on them. But yes - we do have a devotion to Hamlet - even though he's Danish not Finnish !

    • @jezkn
      @jezkn 10 лет назад +5

      MioRaem Actually I do uinderstand how seriously you take these cartoon comic sagas in Finland (I didn't before hearing this Tuomas composition).
      You see - it would be quite impossible in UK (or even USA) to write such a wonderful and serious sounding piece as this dedicated to a Comic Disney Character, People would take the micky (pun was intended).. Hence my comment to you. But as the (extremely) passionate views on Ducksburg here show, it's revered in other parts of the world (like Finland). Why do you think the Fins (and others) have taken the Scrooge McDuck Universe and Don Rosa so much to their hearts whereas he's practically unheard of over here?.

    • @jezkn
      @jezkn 10 лет назад

      Flingship373 Yes - great orchestration from Pip and the London choir he used too. I just hope he gets the audience reaction over here for it - but I suspect he'll be struggling sadly. (and in the USA too even though they 'hatched' Donald from a Disney egg over there!)

    Lyrics for those who are interested :)
    To be rich is to still remember
    To treasure your first dime
    To have a chance to say farewell
    Story of your life
    Time of solitude and strife
    Freedom of an open road
    Hope and many miles to go
    Promises to keep
    Countless gold fields to reap
    To be rich is to seek
    To relive the memory
    Far off lands, quests of old
    Self respect, true grit
    Never cared of what a fortune might buy
    To seek is to be rich
    Story of your life
    Time of solitude and strife
    Freedom of an open road
    Hope and many miles to go
    Promises to keep
    Countless gold fields to reap
    To be rich is to seek
    To relive the memory
    All the strangers on your path
    Crossroads the letters from home
    The cooling embers of a yuletide hearth
    All the sounds of wilderness
    The truth in which you roamed
    Now your lost Rosebud has brought you back home
    Story of your life
    Time of solitude and strife
    Freedom of an open road
    Hope and many miles to go
    Promises to keep
    Countless gold fields to reap
    To be rich is to seek
    To relive the memory
    Story of your life
    Time of solitude and strife
    Freedom of an open road
    Hope and many miles to go
    Promises to keep
    Countless gold fields to reap
    To be rich is to seek
    To relive the memory

    Even for a cartoon/comic character. That last picture of Scrooge on the mountain fills me with emotion. I really love the stories of when he was young. People always see him as this bitter, rich man who only cares about money. That picture sums up how he got there and that behind the image of a cold hearted man is a boy who grew up, lived a life of adventure and worked to get where he is now. And he took himself time to stop and admire the auroras in the night sky :)

    I found this album in my local record store and I had no idea who Toumas was (although I knew about Nightwish) and I had never read the Scrooge comics, but I had loved the DuckTales cartoons as a kid. So I was dumbfounded to see Scrooge McDuck in the Metal section. Had to buy it, LOVED it. Such a great album. Seeing Don Rosa smile while listening to the music is a heartwarming moment and I've gotten to love the comics now thanks to this record.

    At first it was only music that sounded good and kept replaying in my head.
    Hours later i finally listened and started to wonder what this weird thing tried to say.
    Then i remembered the things i knew about scrooge, his first coin and his unreasonable and (financially disadvantageous) beloved adventures.
    Then i suddenly started to understand and listened to this song for the first time how it was meant to be listened to.
    It was never about the money, he also isn't really greedy. It is just that every touchable coin for him is a memory he made and it is unique. Thats the special thing about his money for him. It is not just money that can be exchanged to other money or coins. For him it is unique and that is also why he defends it with his life. Each coin is a touchable and unique memory and for him, that is his very life.
    Took me some time and actually made me grow. Thank you from my Heart.

I'm sure he did it to make HIMSELF happy, not every disapproving unappreciative jerk out there. But to his loyal fans and friends, we all appreciate him at least sharing this, as he put it, very intimate project with us. Don't like it? Don't listen or buy it. I hate it when people act like THEIR idea of what good music is the Ultimate idea of what good music is. Arrogance is uglier and nastier than any badly written song in the world. Period.
