I think that this song is about controlling us through a constant diet of fear, bombarding us with fearful things without cease. But it is also reminding us that there is always hope. It's a good idea to read the lyrics on this one, because this is definitely a lyric driven song. You asked about who wrote it. Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboardist is responsible for almost all of the lyrical and musical content that Nightwish produces. He isn't called "The Metal Mozart" for nothing.
That got my attention! I honestly haven't paid them much attention since Marko left, but that's really different. And dark. Really impressive. Great reaction!
To all the superficial haters who say this is not Nightwish any more: Can it get more Nightwish than in the instrumental section in the middle??? All the rest around it is typical Metal Mozart creating unexpected and masterly composed new stuff. Masterpiece! Greetings from Germany
A bit of a new way to go for Nightwish, with the children choir, having as much singing time as Floor almost i belive, Floor is doing some fast phrasing here to, something like she does in the song Shoemaker, kind off i think. The Ill starred kids of your junkyard thats us humans right, People today are getting told all kind of doomsday things, AI and war will end the world, but this song says, the end is fear, its not near, armagedon aint coming tommrow, so life your life, hide the unshot guns doomsday predictors tell is gonna blast. Also notice that Floor joins the kids choir at end and connect that to her charecter she is in video, she realize something during video, Toumas said so in a interview i watched.. I didnt read the book 1984 written by George Orwell, but the song got reference to that book i belive. At first listen i needed another listen, at 3th listen the song got me, and i started like the children choir, i actually think its a pretty good song, and something not heard like this from NW before, now i listened to the song many times! This is not a Empuu shine song, there is heavy guitar rhytm in the middle section and end, but not the big Empuu solo, but i also think this song dosent need it, because the Children choir takes spotlight instead,.. The title the day off.. is missing telling what its the day off, so i think this is where you can put in the optimistic view of the song, as a listener, if you like to, and hear the song that way, the listener decide what its the day off. The original idea was this one to be 1st single, because it was a diffrent sound from NW people told Tuomas, this have to be a single, but then Tuomas decided it should be Perfume of the timelees, and this 2nd.

I love this song and they have quite a few music videos. A suggestion for another music video by them would be Noise. Also about a subject matter that is very relevant today.
I’m glad you like it. I don’t. I find it disappointing. It’s not anywhere near as good as the past Nightwish efforts. Nightwish has been a Power Metal Hard Rock band their entire existence. Emmpu the guitarist is so buried in the background that he’s basically inaudible. This is of course my personal opinion. I hope the rest of the new album is better. But to release this poor effort as a single doesn’t give me hope. What a disappointment.
@@craigbolton5093 I care about Nightwish. I’ve been a fan since 2011. I’ve seen them live. This isn’t the band they were. This is highly mediocre compared to their past work. And if you consider that “whinging” I honestly don’t care. This is how I feel as a fan who has heard everything they have ever recorded. Again if you like this great. We are not all alike. So before you go and make a statement about what I think, perhaps you better give us YOUR opinion.
@@ronaldwilson9525 I'm behind you a bit, but I've been a fan through most of the Floor era. I've enjoyed the stuff written for her particular skills. The recent stuff hasn't been power metal, but I still appreciate the skill, artistry, and complexity. Emppu has always been a talented rhythm guitar player- sure, I'd like to see more of what we know he can do. My opinion is, this is good- I've listened to it several times.
@@craigbolton5093 Again I only stated my opinion. If you like this great. I don’t. I consider the album’s Once, Dark Passion Play, Imaginaerum, and Endless Forms Most Beautiful 4 of the best albums of all time and I’ve been a rock music fan since 1974. As I said I saw Nightwish live here in Chicago in 2018 with my kids who I turned into Nightwish fans. But I hated Human Nature. I gave it many listens during Covid but it wasn’t even close to good in my opinion. I absolutely miss Marko not playing in this band anymore. He was the secret ingredient that made Nightwish spectacular. Floor is probably the best female rock singer of all time. She was BETTER with Marko. There is a huge hole missing from this incarnation of Nightwish. I don’t know how they can fill this void. But to put out the same basic material that was on their last album is so frustrating to me because I know how good this band CAN be. But again IN MY OPINION this isn’t it.
@@ronaldwilson9525 Hey, I can respect that. I've been around a while too. I thought Grand Funk Railroad lost their way when they split from Terry Knight!
Again a high-class song by Nightwish, which makes you think and will certainly trigger some discussions. I love this band and I love your reactions to their music.

The keyboardist, Tuomas, writes all of the lyrics and music.
Thanks for a good reaction🇫🇮

And how lucky Nightwish fans are to have such a huge back catalogue to listen to if this isn't to their liking. I love the new. 😀

🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 well done
Tuomas…the keyboardist…writes the vast majority of the music snd lyrics. The band is his brainchild.
They postponed the End of the World.
Thanks ❤❤❤

You seem to like it well enough to state your opinion on everyone's reaction- or do you just join in to whinge?
