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 and 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?
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
Forebears 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
Forebears 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
Every form most beautiful
We are one
We are a universe
Forebears 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
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!
"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
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?"
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
By the way, Floor works out big time and she is a vegetarian.
All of NW's lyrics are complex as you well know! :) But this song especially is deeper than any others. Cornelius supplied the actual lyrics below, and a while back I put together a little glossary that explains some of the technical terms he uses that may not be commonly known in general knowledge. Hope this can help support Cornelius's lyrics...
Archean horizons - A term from geology referring to the rocks of the Archeozoic Period of the PreCambrian Era.
The spoken-word portions are narrations by Professor Richard Dawkins, evolutionary biologist from Oxford University. He held the Oxford Chair for Public Understanding of Science from 1995 to 2008. The excerpts are from his book. At the Wembley performance, he appeared on stage with Nightwish to speak the narrations.
Pristine Gaia - Gaia was the ancient Greek goddess of the Earth, now often used to refer to the primordial ecosystem when all the continents were joined.
Opus perfectum - Obviously Latin for "a perfect composition" or creation.
Goldilocks Zone - A semi-formal term used by astrophysicists to describe the stable orbital zones around any star which are "not too hot, not too cold, but juuuust right" for the existence of liquid water, based on their diameter, heat and luminosity output, and radiation field. Obviously this refers to the region where a planet's environment is suitable for the development of life.
LUCA - LUCA is an acronym for a formal term used by evolutionary biologists that stands for "Last Universal Common Ancestor." It is the most recent population group of organisms which shared common ancestry with every currently surviving species on Earth.
Devonian - A geology term pertaining to the portion of the Paleozoic Era dominated by ocean fish, prior to the advent of amphibians and reptiles.
Aeons - Aeons is just a fancy, ancient spelling of "eons," vast periods of time.
Ion channels - A term used in biology and medicine to refer to the osmotic pressure balance maintained across cell walls by the relative concentrations of various metal ions in aqueous solution, usually sodium and potassium. The opening or closing of transport pathways through the cell walls for certain molecules, mediated by the ion balance, are called "ion channels." Thus, the "magic" of life is permitted to exist because the exquisite balancing of ion concentrations on each side of the membrane either open the channel and allow entry of molecules necessary for life or close the channel to exclude other molecules.
Little Lucy of the Afars - Refers to the fossil remnants of the female dubbed "Lucy," found in the region of Africa that was known, in ancient times, as "The Territory of Isis and Afars" (nothing to do with the modern day meaning of that term "Isis") now roughly corresponding to the countries of Somalia and Djibouti. Lucy is believed to be the single known example of the common humanoid ancestor that spawned homo sapiens, Neanderthals, and Cro Magnons. ...And the Geico Caveman. LOL
Ionia - Ancient Greece, often credited as the birthplace of modern scientific thought, logic, and learning. So, when Marco sings, "Enter Ionia" it is not saying that some person "enters" the City-State of Ionia. Rather, it is introducing the scene in the Greatest Show where the City-State of Ionia itself "enters" the world stage of history.
@@terrytheukdude9402Thanks for the information, I think that came about from being pregnant did it not ?
I knew a truck driver who had been driving around for 35 years. He ran 99.9% of his career flawlessly and only 0.1% did not go as it should and he did some damage. that does not mean that he was a bad driver, after all, he had already driven 4 million miles. having a bad day is normal for us humans. thank you for reacting positively and with pleasure to something that we all enjoy.
I would be interested in seeing your reaction to "Dead Boy's Poem" by Nightwish live at buenos aires. It's a more acoustic sound and Floor is amazing, which really goes without saying at this point I guess.
Yes, that version of Dead Boy's Poem is so lovely.
Supporting this idea, that song is very beautiful to begin with and Floor raises it to all new heights.
Life in general is the greatest show on earth, that's what the song is about. Not their show;)...
Kinda fitting that you were distracted by an example of the greatest show on earth while reacting to The Greatest Show on Earth, lol
Yes, the song celebrates all life through all eons. They end the song with "We were here" suggest we are just lucky. The greatest show on earth will continue with or without humankind
@@manuelusteri3380 yeah, quoting his own book, did even deliver those parts live with them at Wembley
@@ruma9687 I'm not sure about all the excerpts, but I've been under the impressiont that at least some of them are actually from Charles Darwin.
@@Norpal yeah, my bad. The quote about 'endless forms most beautiful being evolved' is from the origin of species. Propably more quotes from it too
Life, evolution and nature is the Greatest Show on Earth, so you being distracted by deer is perfect.
they are stupid good...I'm an 80s kid, grew up with bands like flock of seagulls, the call, Erasure...just got tuned into Nightwish and they do scratch that metal itch, but what is most impressive is the complete package. This 45 yr old is a fan now.
Great reacción Christi, nightwish is amazing and the shows are perfects, from the lights, pirotécnic, the sound of each instrument, the powerful, melodic, heavenly, voice of Floor, the lyrics
The fans, wow!
I like your reactions, but you skipping parts of this masterpiece for listeners should be considered crime and you should go to a jail ....
for copyright reasons at that time
No she acknowledged she had issues with editing and her camera died few times, it wasn’t intentional
Two other options to check out since you like Floor and Marco singing together are two songs from the Wembley show: Seven Days to the Wolves (Very strong, clear vocals from both of them) and Yours is an Empty Hope (A whole different aspect to Floor's range).
This it's definitely their greatest masterpiece so far. The songs it's about life and evolution from a biological point of view, "The Greatest Show On Earth" its Life. And actually the whole album ("Endless Forms Most Beautiful") from which this song is, it's mostly about this ideas. And the person you hear reciting at the end it's Richard Dawkins, so, I quote this to explain a little:
"The song title is taken from a 2009 book by evolutionary biologist and atheist writer Richard Dawkins, concerning the evidence for biological evolution. Dawkins also contributes towards the album. Holopainen (Tuomas) explained to HMV in March 2015: "I wrote him a letter a bit more than a year ago and explained the ideas we had for this album, mainly to do with evolution. Since one of the tracks would be named directly after one of his books, it felt like a perfect match to try to get him do some reciting on the album. He sent me an email a few weeks later accepting the invitation."
"
"Later in 2014 we then recorded his parts at Hats Off Studios, Oxford. This is a huge honor for us, since Dawkins is one of our biggest heroes and his writings have been huge inspiration for the album."
By the way, I Love your videos!
You are too kind. This is definitely not my best work, though NIGHTWISH shines in the midst of my bumbling. I am so happy to read this quote and thank you for taking the time to educate me further on this amazing masterpiece. The more I learn about Tuomas, the more I am a fan. Wow. 😍
@@TheVoiceLoveCo You are very welcome. I enjoy your videos, so thank you. And yes, as a compositor, Tuomas it's
arguably the most outstanding in the present time, as far as metal music concerns.
Did you notice how after minute 17 in a short sequence they go through the entire history of music? First in the quiet piano part the medieval Dies Irae theme is quoted, then when the full band comes back there's the theme from Bach's d minor fugue, and in a few bars there's the main riff from Metallica's Enter Sandman.
I am pretty sure that those low pitch tribal growls in this song are actually Floor. Marco's growls are high pitched while Floor's are low pitched.
That. Is. Incredible! What?! Wow!
What a great reaction once again Christi. Hope to see many more Nightwish reactions from you. I'm still waiting for that "Phantom of the opera" (End of an Era), and you should really listen to "The Islander" (Tampere 2015) also. Both songs showcases Marko's talent also.
Thanks again! FYI that tribal grunting was Floor 😉
You’d probably like Design Your Universe by Epica 👍
Also, here’s the narration from the end 😎
“"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

Have a fantastic weekend 👍
The "head twirly thing" is called windmilling
Thanks for this video. Your reaction is as insightful as ever.
In the last section, if you listen carefully, you will hear parts of "Toccata and Fugue in F Minor" by Bach, a bit of electronic dance music, and the riff from Metallica's "Enter Sandman". Floor is the next stage in human evolution (evolution being the subject of the song) - Homo Musicalis. I'd love it if Tuomas agreed to be wired to an Electro-Encephalograph machine whilst he's composing, just so you can see the parts of his brain firing off as he worked.
You should check out The Islander from the Tampere show if you want to see Marco show his talents, a beautiful song.
Edit: oh and Nightwish are releasing a brand new album in April, "Human Nature" 2 CDs and the second cd is one long song in I think 8 parts
this is great and a hard song there doing this epic .
this is one of the greatest songs out there, but the enter sandman riff always throws me
it's part of the song..reference to metal music at this moment
Cool ty
Thank you!! Please react to Nightwish "High hopes", a Pink Floid cover. Marko is AMAZING!!!
22:06 I am so agree with you.
Hi . Nice video reaction . Btw . The growl was made by floor not marko
The Dutch Windmill
All life originated in the sea. Intelligent life is a more complicated story, self-aware and 'I' plays a big part.
I have a question. Have you introduced your husband to Nightwish? What does he think? I guess that's 2 questions.
Isnt it time for Romanticide ? Yes it is ! :)
Tuomas has the whole record in his mind when he composes, not just a song. There are some videos about the recording process of "Endless forms more beautiful", he basically "hears" all the instruments and vocal parts in his head, like a painter sees a finished picture. Then he makes some basic demo versions to share with the rest of the band and they start rehearsing. If a member of the band suggests a better idea or something doesn't actually sound as he imagined he has no problem about changing the songs, he's the genius behind the music but they work as a band.
Wow. Just wow.
They crucified Groot and used him as a keyboard stand
Those bastards 🤣
😂😂😂😂
Yes! Groot it is.
That's because Tuomas is a DC fan.
"Dead Boy's Poem" Buenos Aires Live 2018 showcases the softer side of Floor's vocals
Agreed!
I think it's not about their Greatest Show on Earth but the show we all are a part, life it self, all the living things we see around us, that's the Greatest Show on Earth. From the big bang (?) upto today 🤗 All the best 👍
You´re right. The song is about the theory of evolution from Charles Darwin from the beginning of the world (big bang)
Even upto a time mankind is long gone. For me, the message in the song is we humans are not as important for Earth as we like to think we are.
Yeah, it ends with mentions of a mushroom cloud, and the "We were Here" line is that trope about leaving your mark on something long after you're gone.
Marco really shines in their Pink floyd cover High Hopes, chills!
Yes Christie you really should listen that version
The High Hopes tribute is epic - you urgently should do that one!
Great song to check out for Marco displaying his voice and talent is from the same Tampere concert: "The Islander". The narration during the Greatest show is Richard Dawkins, English ethologist, evolutionary biologist, and author., he appears on stage with them on other shows. This song is based on his writings and is about the formation of the Solar System and the creation of the earth itself, and the introduction of life, (the growling of early man, etc)
Or their high Hopes pink floyd cover, he really shines there
yes! The Islander please!
And While your Lips are Still red too... I mean, all songs featuring Marko are awesome
yes please do The Islander from the same show!!!
Yeah the islander is beautiful
Christy, please do a reaction to my new favorite Nightwish song! "Dead Boys Poem" live from the new Blu-ray Decades from Buenos Aires. Emotional and powerful. I think you will appreciate it. The lyrics involve everything that Tuomas would like to have said to the people he loved if he were to pass unexpectedly.
Christi,this piece could be considered Tuomas' view of the evolution of the Earth and Humankind's place on it.
There are elements of Professor Richard Dawkins and Charles Darwin's musings,both renowned biologists.
The 'figure' on the front of Tuomas' keyboard may represent Humankind strapped to the evolutionary process,(just my thoughts).
The narrator is indeed Richard Dawkins,and when they performed this at Wembley in 2015,Dawkins read the last passage on stage with the band and took the curtain call with the band.
Tuomas is indeed an exceptional composer and I can hardly wait to see what he has in store in 2020 with the new album release.
If Floor's excitement is any guide,it will be well worth the wait.
May I suggest you react to Dead Boy's Poem live from Buenos Airies.Just when you think you have heard it all from Floor,she re-interprets one of their early songs in a way that takes it to another level.
Thank you for your reactions,the warmth and positivity you exude is wonderful. 😊😊
For the figure I was more thinking about Atlas (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_(mythology)), holding up the celestial sphere, substituted by keyboards.
Someone said that the figure on the keyboard was Groot, but I'm not so sure about that....
yeah i'm a big fan of Nightwish but that "theory" is not strong and get refuted easly because of the cause/effect that science is based on you will end up in an infinity of them
@@Mav-Ghost did you collect your Nobel yet?
@@lordbaylay very funny bainless
In front of Tuomas's keyboards is the Groot (Marvel character). And yes, he is a genius. You're not the first and not the last who says that. Already in 2012 after Imaginaerum album release Iron Maiden's song writer and bassist, Steve Harris, said that "Tuomas is a f****ng genius!". And after that Tuomas wrote the album where was this 21 minute masterpiece about the birth of a universe, the birth of life on Earth and a human evolution - the Greatest Show On Earth!
Here's the entire lyrics of the song, if you missed those spoken words - well, wisdoms, I would say by professor Richard Hawkins.
*I. Four Point Six*
Archaean horizon
The first sunrise
On a pristine Gaea
Opus perfectum
Somewhere there us sleeping
[Spoken]
"After sleeping through a hundred million centuries
We have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet
Sparkling with color, bountiful with life

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?"
*II. 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
[Chorus 1]
We are one
We are the 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
[Chorus 1]
We are here to care for the garden
The wonder of, birth of, every form most beautiful
Every form most beautiful
[Chorus 1]
*III. 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
[Chorus 2 (x3)]
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! (x4)
*IV. The Understanding

"We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones.

[Instrumental]
Actually, it's not Groot but another Marvel character named Korg. You can see the connection.
As a mathematician with a deep love of music theory: yes it totally makes sense. Tuomas has an astounding understanding of sound and music. I think great composers understand how a performance plays out in the minds of listeners. They're not orchestrating a band or a show for us, those are just the tools they use. They are conducting us.
It's ironic how relatively unknown Floor Jansen was in the Netherlands before she participated on Beste Zangers on television here. How Nightwish has eluded me for all these years is a complete mystery, but I'm ecstatic that I discovered them. I've been binge watching their concerts the last couple of months now in a slightly obsessive manner -- as if there is any other way.
They all are insanely talented musicians and there aren't enough superlatives for Floor's singing capabilities and stage presence to me Marko Hietala was the most fun discovery. From his solo performances to the backing vocals and duets -- their voices go so well together -- this year' rendition of Ave Maria at Raskasta Joulua (Heavy Christmas) is one of the most awesome versions I've ever heard/see. ruclips.net/video/ut6ufu2CPNg/видео.html
@Ad Lockhorst , in general ...metal isn~t that accepted in our little country...... mainstream is rap, hip hop, R&B , dance music...... hard rock, metal, or songs longer than 4 minutes seem to be unbearable for the radio...... good to have you tube and no narrow mind........ there`s enough good music to explore outside radio stations in the Netherlands.
I guess ”the number of unfound great sopranoes exceeds the number of found ones” as well, just to quote a part of the final narration...
Great reaction as always Christi! The narration at the end is by Prof Richard Dawkins, an evolutionary biologist, and it's taken from his book "Unweaving The Rainbow". He actually appeared on stage with Nightwish when they performed this at Wembley, London in 2015. It's a pretty deep statement and goes as follows: "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. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people.

Wow! I love knowing this. Thank you!!!
@@TheVoiceLoveCo You're welcome Christi. Keep up the good work you're doing! xx
I love that there are so many different elements to this song, and Floor's growl is simply amazing! This woman can really do anything!
I suppose it was Marco
@@mattihelin5101 no it was Floor actually :-)
@@firefox7530 in time 14:35 Marco walks to the mic and raises his fist. The very moment the ape-like singing begins. I could be wrong, but..
@@mattihelin5101 It was Floor, Marco and Troy at the same time.
@@juliannewarren5466 Thank you.
While your Lips are Still Red and The Islander are a great listens to enjoy Marco's singing even more !
This comment exactly
Also his solo stuff. Stones is great.
As a side note we are a few days from Marko's birthday. He will turn 54 on the 14th.
My a few months younger bald head is envious of his long locks! I turn 54 come June.
At 2.55 "... they never fail to disappoint..." 😲
You might want to rephrase that... 😂😂😂
Oh gosh. Blergh. 😝 My apologies. I cannot tell you the trouble I had with this video from start to finish. Yikes.
@@TheVoiceLoveCo oh, yeah, I forgot to tease you about that, too.
Lol, I noticed the same thing. It's about the same as when Floor says before "Last ride of the day" in Wacken 2013, "with audience like you guys, what more can we wish for" 🤣🤣🤣
@@TheVoiceLoveCo And no worries Christi, you are the best
@@TheVoiceLoveCo well, watching your glee saying it, I'm sure *nobody* failed to get what you *wanted* to say. Heck, your enthousiasm lights up my screen even with the sound off... 😎
I’m so obsessed with this song. I have the studio version, multiple live versions, and even the videos of the live versions on my phone. This is a song that will always be a masterpiece no matter what generation listens to it
You are so right.. Tuomas is a genius..greetings from northern germany 🤩 whenyou hear Floor and Marco listen to Raskasta Jouluo the Ave Mariia
🤩
The new single will be out next Month! ❤️ The last album is 5 years and we miss the new stuff! They will release the name of the new album and more infos already this month! When the single is out, please react to it! The tour starts in april, so keep checking the dates and go watch them
Currently binge-watching Lost in Space on Netflix. It's very good, enthralling and hard to look away. Nonetheless for a reaction to The Greatest Show on Earth, that shiz is getting paused and here I am.
Add some Chinese takeaway and we're om the exact same agenda... 👍😃
I think the tribal growl was from Floor because she can do that too. I read somewhere that there were 26 thousand fans in that Tampere concert, including Floor's parents.
This was the first time I’ve actually noticed (the audio quality on this reaction must be better or something), but I’m about 90% certain that it’s BOTH Marko and Floor doing the tribal grunting. If you listen carefully, you can actually hear a subtlety higher overtone slightly out of phase with the base tone. I’ve always heard it before as a single voice and couldn’t really tell who was doing it (they both appear to be on or near their mikes in the video) but figured it was Marko since it’s obviously him on the longer lower growls.
@@calibadgerdude6082 After checking versions in Bloodstock 2018 and Buenos Aires 2018 (the bluray concert), I can say that all three (Floor, Marko and Troy) were providing sounds to their mics in the growling part. Bloodstock recording clearly shows Floor and Marko but the BA2018 has Troy growling too.
There's so many people and that big production because it was their 20 anniversary show. Since you didn't have time to do some research about the song, here's a little bit for you :)
The greatest show on Earth refers of course to life itself. The song tells the story of Life at different levels, that's why you see water, fire, animals and people in the background. The main theory is that the first instrumental part represents the great void before the Big Bang (the fireworks!), and then the formation of the planets. Part 2, starting with Floor's operatic high notes, tells the story of Earth and the creation of life, highlighting the beauty of it all.
Part 3, which is the one starting with those ethereal notes from Floor and those grunts, is probably the most interesting part of the song, at least in terms of music and composition. That part 3 is called The Toolmaker, referring to the human being. In just a few minutes, the music, the lyrics, and in this case the background imagery too, are telling the story of humanity, from the Neanderthal-like growls of Marco, to the rise of cultures and civilizations, and to how modern man succumbed to greed, power, hate, wars (giant mushroom clouds = atomic bombs), "ratkind". And after that, the chorus brings some hope by talking about the good things of the human being and encouraging us to learn and discover, to "greet the last light of the library".
But, even more interestingly, Tuomas uses the instrumental section between the two choruses (mins 14 to 15 approx) to tell the story of music evolution: hidden behind the keyboard melody and the riffs, you can hear short fragments of different types of music throughout History: from tribal instruments to Gregorian to medieval to Bach to Metallica and lastly to electronic, all that in under a minute, and without losing the conducting melody or the sensation of being in the same song. If that's not called true artistry, I don't know what is :D
Mario Sanz I have to correct you a little. The first part is labeled ”Four Point Six” which means it is only the development of earth, 4,6 billion years old, the Big Bang would be much much more than that.
Thank you so much for this wonderful education! Love it!
@@mantailuaa Oh wow, I know the lyrics by heart and for some reason I never paid attention to the name of part one... Yeah that makes a lot of sense then, maybe the intro is the formation of the Earth too, and those fireworks are the very moment when life started. Good to always get some more clues about tuomas's lyrcs, thanks for the tip!
@@TheVoiceLoveCo You were saying something about Tuomas being a genius composer? I think in a couple hundred years, if humanity still exists and has any semblance of culture, Tuomas might be held in the same respect as the great classical composers. It seems like making music and telling a story through it, manipulating the listener's emotions while introducing his message, often subliminally is second nature to him (scratch that, first nature in fact, the man was born to do this).
@@MarioSanzVidal I have been imagining Floor's almost sighing note at 4:23 as the beginning of life. "The breath of life" is an expression used sometimes about the start of life, isn't it?
It is a gift, being able to see music in the mind before committing it to paper. Mozart, Beethoven, Brian Wilson, Bernie Taupin to name a few just have that as their gift - Tuomas certainly belongs.
He certainly does.
Tuomas is an absolute genius as a composer and lyricist. I seriously seriously believe he will go down as one of this generation's greatest composers. This song and performance, about creation, is one of the most epic, most amazing pieces that they've done. This song and performance absolutely highlights that moment for all the band when talent and passion effortlessly comes together. I have had a pure love for Nightwish from the very beginning and am proud to say that this is one of the many bands and types of music that I've introduced my kids to. ;-P
loved your reaction to this its a shame you couldnt hear the narration very well as it really helps to frame the song itself - they are quotes read and written by Sir Richard Dawkins who even appeared on stage with them to do it live in Wembley. The quotes help to explain the underlying theme of evolution in the song, "the greatest Show on Earth" being life itself
👎 Never cut the Professor Richard Dawkins
She kinda is a voice coach though
@@timbroski4487 Dawkins has a great voice :D
Thank you for your reaction and analysis, I thoroughly enjoyed it! You're such a beam of light!
I find the cuts well made and indeed very slight, no problem for this fan. I only wish she had gone through the whole video until the end.
YT is getting nuts and some folks can't hash it enough to stop them from pulling the videos, these days.
and it seem totally random. One person can have an uninterrupted play-through and someone else can't have more than a few moments of the sound before it gets yanked.
I thank you for extending me grace. I did view the entire song and did make the cuts necessary to stay compliant with RUclips's copyright rules BUT my camera also proved to be a real pill and cut out in parts due to overheating. 😭 All in all, I'm grateful that this one is done even with its GLARING mistakes. Oy. Thanks again.
@@jpkalishek4586 Oh, you saw Elvann's reaction too?
The underlying problem is that RUclips doesn't punish trolls for false copyright claims but threatens creators for deleting their channel after three copyright strikes.
@@jpkalishek4586 It seems that the risk of videos being pulled also depends on the artist. While I don't know the exact mechanics, major labels seem to be more eager or effective to suppress anything that may be a copyright violation of their content. Nuclear Blast, the label Nightwish are on, seem to be a bit more relaxed. There are lots of Nightwish videos on RUclips, and I rarely (never?) see one disappear for copyright reasons. Also, uploads with music from indie bands fly under the radar, so to speak.
Thank you once again for your beautiful and insightful reaction to the genius of Nightwish! Now that you've done the "holy trinity", I really hope you will continue to react and listen to them, I see what a great fan you've become of them, and if I can make some suggestion I recommen you react to "storytime" and "ever dream" from the 2013 Wacken concert, and "dead boy's poem" from their latest dvd concert Decades live in Buenos Aires... And another thing that I love and share with you is your admiration for Tuomas; you've talked about his musical genius and, trust me, his lyrics ability are extraordinary too... always read his lyrics after or before listening to one of his songs, they are pure poetry... Anyway, once again thank you for your wonderful reactions and passsion for music and Nightwish, I WILL keep watching!
Storytime and Ever Dream are an absolute MUST-SEE for Christi!
I think the herd of deer running by fit most well to this song about the beauty of life in its diversity! Consider your experience further enhanced by their appearance, and thank you for the react! Nightwish is due to release a new album this April, initial reviews describe it as even more grandiose than the album with Greatest Show on Earth, it should be interesting material to react to, once its out. Peace!
Check out Marco in Phantom of the Opera with their first singer Tarja. From End of an Era DVD. :)
Well, your reaction is just spot on. You observe and diagnose this masterpiece perfect.
Nothing else to add - just superb reaction from - as always.
Hello Christi, first of all welcome to the complete setup of Nightwish - as far as I know this was the first piece of music of Nightwish in the complete line-up to which you made a reaction. The missing member is Troy Donockley, the multi-instrumentalist. He plays pretty much every kind of flute, the Uilleann Pipes, guitars and lots of other instruments. That's why I wasn't surprised that you didn't really realize that it wasn't a duet of Marko and Floor but mostly a trio, because Troy was also involved. The camera work was a bit confusing here, too, because Troy didn't get any attention at all - what a pity. Nightwish is an extraordinary group in this line-up, which not only stands out due to its extraordinary musical mastery, but has also grown together in friendship. You can see this very well at the gigs - there is always a smile in the eyes and also little attentions between the participants, a nudge here or a high five - just a "horny band" and it is always fun to watch and listen to them at "work". Their complete concerts are emotional rollercoasters and I wish I could have a look at one of them - let's see, on the next tour... Please note the following dates - in February probably the new video and in April probably the new CD -- these are the rumors that are currently circulating. Officially the mastering was finished yesterday - so it's going forward
Love it! Thanks for this wonderful comment! 💖
Awesome reaction to this epic song! Next: Dead Boy's Poem live in Buenos Aires 2018.
Oh, and all of them wear ear pieces for the tic track. Tuomas always has the back track by the London Philharmonic to deal with, and to keep time they all need to hear it at least. Especially Kai and before him Jukka. The drummer really needs to be on their game when a band needs to do that, so if your piece falls out or stops working you got him to track to. I know Marko has joked about his ears just getting security pulling crowd surfers off the edge. They are certainly well fit for the head banging and Floor's "Windmills"
I think someone mentioned it for that reaction, but Tuomas has Floor's vocals in Poet removed from his feed because of the emotions she generates. He's gotten better, but the Mother And Father portion, especially, was too much for him.
Overall great reaction, your enthusiasm is contagious, that being said, I'm a bit disappointed by your skipping several times, to this point I always skip the words at the beginning and the end but not the song itself, they have many details that you loose with the skipping
Please note that I had tech issues with this video. 😭 I did view the entire original video start to finish even though my camera wouldn't. And thank you for your continued patience.
@@TheVoiceLoveCo glad that it was unintentional due to tech issues, b/c my initial opinion was disappointment for skipping some key narration, notably in the middle of the song and at the very end of the credits. kind of crucial for wrapping up the entire purpose of this 20+ minute song. I hope the other viewers watch the full video from Nightwish's page to take it all in!
Yes do Dead boys poem live Buenos Aires, love your reactions
This song tells a big story. The fireworks represent the big bang. The LED screen gives clues of where we are in the story... With that knowledge you should be able to figure out what the rest of the song is about... 😉 The wood-like sculpture on Tuomas’s keyboard is Groot. The bagpipes are called the Uillian pipes, which are Irish bag pipes. Why did you cut out the Richard Dawkins citation? The narrations are the key elements in the song... You even skipped the last one. Yes, the song tells a story, but unfortunately you didn’t get it.
Tech issues. My camera was not happy making this video and the end was lost. My apologies. Thank you for educating me on these points. Peace. 🌟
@@TheVoiceLoveCo Ok, i see. My apologies if I came on a little harsh. I hope you got the meaning of the song after all. And don’t worry, i’ll keep checking out your reactions as i generally like them. 👍
@@treintje1001 You are so kind. Thank you so much. Not harsh at all. I'll be so honored to have you as a viewer. Thanks so much and have a fantastic week! 😘 Peace...I really mean it! 😍
I find it absolutely hilarious that the deer thing happened at the exact moment in the song that talks about the origins of life itself. XD. Talk about spectacular timing!
One thing you might not be aware of is that Metal music is today's Classical Music. If Bach, Beethoven, or Mozart were alive today, they would be making metal music. Toumas could be considered the Mozart of today. You will find that many metalheads have a great appreciation of Classical Music for its complexities, because it translates well into so many metal compositions. There's even a metal sub genre named NeoClassical Metal.
I 👏 LOVE 👏 THIS👏 It makes so much sense to me. Thanks for enlightening me, David! Yes!!!
Haven't smiled much last months, but when watching you enjoy good music..😍😃
lol :D here at the 14 minute mark: What, dear Christi, do you think Nightwish means by "The greatest show on Earth"?
Intrigued, if you will find out :).
oO nope.
You see so much... but, please watch "The greatest show on Earth" one more time and think about the words "human evolution", and/or "scientific evolution".
Great reaction as always dear Christi.
Will do. I was distracted by so many things trying to get this video made. Tech issues up the wazoo. Yikes. 🙄
Have you noticed Bach refferences at 17:40 Minuet in G Major and then at 17:47 Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, Tuomas is indeed a genius and I loved your comparison when you called him a mathematical musician cause you can see her respects Bach who was called the same name too!
Great reaction as always :)
Milan,also the little nod to Metallica as an influence in their musical development,when Emppu launches into a few notes of "Enter Sandman" !! 😊😊
I took that to be symbolic of Musical evolution and passage of time - Bach to Metallica
So you think that you expererienced all NW by reacts to the NW trio P&P., TGSOE and GLS, you are so wrong... They released New vídeos live in Buenos Aires. New versions of older songs, Just amazing... And still there are some BZ songs to react. Good reaction dispite the cuts...
Brilliant reaction to a brilliant piece if music :)
Tuomas is a great composer. He works on other projects like Auri with Troy and Johanna Kurkela. The song "Night 13" has a beautiful vidéoclip.
I believe it's the uilleann pipes that Troy's playing here. Yes, I had to look up how to spell it. No, I don't know how to pronounce it. ;p
But it's a very distinctive and beautiful sound! Kind of a mix of bagpipes and the flute.
Ill-ee-an. Gaelic for elbow iirc, because of the bellows operation. Troy also says one has to be slightly insane to play them. Troy is a fun guy.
@@jpkalishek4586 I heard Troy pronounce it as illin pipes.
@@heinsijben1750 chillin' with the illin(~_^)
I think it is a touch accent dependent. I first heard it from an Ulsterman talking to Texans. Then again, I've seen Ulsterman who needed subtitles for others in the UK, so . . . he might have been slowing it down a ton.
edit:
Webster has it i-lən
Pronounced ILL E ANN !
Cuting interludes breaks the Magic of this song
Thanks for this reaction! Insightful and charming as always. I'm pretty sure the sculpture in front of Tuomas keyboards is the character Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy. Tuomas loves Fantasy movies. Troy plays the Uillean pipes among other instruments.
There was, during rehearsals for the tour at least, a mic stand with a crawling mud/root figure as well which I don't see here. And Troy has a special matching whistle holder. Quite the set.
How appropriate that nature is distracting you! This song is all about the Evolution of the universe, the Earth, and life itself. The keyboard stand does look like a wooden figure crucified. Some people think it may represent our environment being sacrificed for our pleasure. Or it may be Groot, a superhero character from "Guardians of the Galaxy". He is a living tree. This was the final song of a 2 hour concert. We like to call Floor's twrirly thing a "Windmill". Especially since it gives it a Dutch connection. Great reaction video Christy. Tuomas is a genius! Can you imagine presenting this song to these incredible musicians? "Listen Floor and you guys", "check out this idea". "I have written a little song covering 4.6 billion years of the evolution of the universe, Earth, and life itself." "Oh yeah, it is about 20 minutes long". "What do you think?" What a grand concept for a song!
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
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!
It is stunning to think about. I love this comment so very much and thank you for leaving it. It refreshes me as I'm feeling a bit diminished over the quality of this one on MY end. Nightwish shines. Period. And I'm undone once again by their beauty. Wow!😘
Floor mentioned a few times in interviews that she sees her fellow Nightwish members not even as friends, but as her brothers. In that way Marco and Floor are indeed a kind of siblings ;)
Great reaction and appreciation of the musicianship and talents of all the members of Nightwish. I couldn't agree more on your compliments for each of them. Thank You.
Unlike the outrageous ticket prices being charged for concerts these days, whatever the cost of a ticket is to their show, you’ll truly get every dollar’s worth. Combine the music with the theatrics, it is definitely worth every penny. Ive paid $150 for a few shows over the years that were crap musically with very vanilla theatrics. A Nightwish show is something to remember for a lifetime.
I paid £32 for my ticket to Wembley 2016... around £50 for the upcoming one in Wembley this year. Back in the day, I'd paid €28 for their End of an Era show in my home city. Probably the best value for money live shows by a large margin.
There is a band that uses a hurdy-gurdy, Eluveitie, see Omnos or Rebirth.
Are you familiar with Iron Maiden at all, christi? If not a reaction to Rime of the Ancient Mariner Rio 2001 is in order.
P.s. The twirly is called the windmill.
P.p.s. For real singing in unison, Romanticide Wacken 2013.
I'd like to know what you think about this two Nightwish 's (Floor) live songs
Song of Myself:

Storytime:
ruclips.net/video/lQu5QjidHWg/видео.html
just to point out, although you probably already know...
the "we were here" with the crowd chanting together, is not about being on that show... but about humanity being a part of the greatest show on Earth and leaving it's mark on the universe, even if we come to someday disappear.
"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!
"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
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?"
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"
Oh boy oh boy oh boy
To give a basic rundown of what the song is about, it is based on the essay "Endless Forms Most Beautiful," by Richard Dawkins. The message is two-fold. First, at its most basic, it is the story of the birth and life and evolution of the universe and life on earth. The beginning represents the big bang (the fireworks, etc.). Then the formation of the seas and the most basic life forms (the Divonian Sea, which was the primordial sea before land came about). The part where Marco is grunting in a tribal fashion is basically the volcanic age, and the introduction of land animals, including humans. That gives way to modern humanity, and how we've impacted the earth. The second point of the song, which is incapsulated by the repeated words "We Were Here," and the narration by Dr. Dawkins at the end, is to not regret the shortness of our lives, but to revel in the very fact that we got the chance to live at all. As the narration states (and I may be paraphrasing this a bit): "We will all die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people will never die, because they will never be born. The number of potential people who could be standing here in my place outnumber the sands of Sahara. Surely such unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton … the number of potential people allowed by our DNA far exceeds the number of actual people. We lucky few who won the lottery of life, how dare we complain about our inevitable return to that prior state from which most never stir!" So the overarching message is, "Love and appreciate every second of your life, because you are one of the lucky few for whom all the necessary elements came together to create the miracle of life in the first place, and revel in the fact that you were here to make an impact!" That's the story of the song.
Wow, Could not miss this! Floor "windmills," which is appropriate for a Dutch metalhead ;)
They're telling a millions of years of evolution story. To me 'symphonic metal' doesn't do justice to this song. It is much more than that.
Tell me which other band writes a song about evolution and how wonderful it is that we exist these short decades.
Is there a reason you removed Richard Dawkin's beautiful speech?
Haha, the "twirly-twirly hairflip", also known as "the windmill", I like it.
Hiya. The twirly-twirly hair thing is called The Windmill and I had to smile at your early slip of the tongue, as the fireworks were going off at the beginning, when you said "...they never fail to disappoint." LOL. All the best to you.
Ugh. My apologies. So. Many. Issues. with this one. 🙄
If you want more pyrotechnics you should watch some of live videos from Rammstein. )
For a great listen of Marco, you might try listening to his Solo Album; there is a great video for the song Isäni ääni that I highly recommend.
This is a truly a musically masterpiece,... 👍 ❤️ 👍
I always think Tuomas sees everything in the world as musical notes, like Neo in The Matrix sees everything in computer code. He really is brilliant.
Hi iam Dutch ,and dit not new Floor before ( Beste Zangers ) So i was triggert and look to Nightwish ,(Ghost love score) ,fore many and many times .!! But i was always to scared to look to athers shows off here ,so i could not be Disappointment :)) . Now i saw you reacting on this show ,and i was thinking ,ok i look together with here(you ) ,she is great to ,i do it . And now i dit it and i saw some beautyfull pieces ,but Ghost Love Score is still my love . God Bless all
the whole show of Wacken 2013, live festival in Duitsland, is great...... veel plezier.
Hey .... u have to React of Nightwish‘s Cover of The Pink Floyd Song High hopes.... Marco at is best.... Greatings from Germany
Wow. What a show! The whole nine yards and then some! My brain is not a fan of flashing lights, but the audio is worth a moment of looking away here and there when they go into the light blasting. Fantastic performance, the lot of it. The drummer!!! The different unique instruments. The duets. Amazing. And her voice is that of a chameleon. She is just unbelievable in her ability to use it however she wants. Case in point, I don't know how she is not out of breath after the 'twirly-twirly' ... (and yeah, I was wondering same about her in ear monitors ...).
I almost cry when Richard Dawkins was skipped 😭
Sorry, had to leave when you skipped a whole vital spoken piece at 7 mins
You should definitely also take a look at Tarja (Nightwish 1ste vocalist) and the song "Oasis" from her "My winter storm" album. It only has a few lines of lyrics (in Finish but you will get the message anyway) but she uses her voice for most of the song like a instrument. It is amazingly beautiful. It is one of those songs i immediately fell in love with the first time i ever heard it. ruclips.net/video/Lfhr1CXelGw/видео.html
Since you are so impressed with Tuomas compositions (like the rest of us) i would also recommend you to take a look at his side project called "The live and times Scrooge" and the song "A lifetime of adventure". The angelic voice in this is his wife. He sure knows how to find these amazing talents. :-) I bought the album without ever having heard a single note because it was Tuomas. ruclips.net/video/JWwSVOo5K_k/видео.html
It's Called Windmill
Thank you for this! They indeed sound amazing together, but wait until you hear 3 of them, Floor, Marko & Troy (the guy who plays 100 instruments on stage... :D) harmonise together during 'Come cover me" live at their Buenos Aires concert, it's pure magic, especially the ending...! :D I really hope you will eventually watch that performance, either as a reaction video or for your own entertainment, you will love that song! :)
