I tend to gyrate amongst the songs on the album as favourites but at the moment I'm landing on this song as my favourite. That wasn't the case on first listen though but now I love this song. Marko does a great job and I love the feel Floor gives to the song with her 'Endlessness' line. Gets me in a pensive mood quickly. :)
Yes! This album really is a masterpiece, honestly. Everything about the song: the heaviness and doomy feeling of the music, the orchestration, the voices, the lyrics... Everything works wonderfully together, and it's such a beautiful and melancholic but still hopeful song. I love it. As for thematically, I interpret it as our small human existence living in an endless universe, where, even when we die, we are part of the endlessness? We are literal stardust. In our lives, we are just a speck of dust with meaning, breathing, talking, moving on our own, which is rare and so precious in the Universe. And when we die, we come back to that state of stardust, still one with the universe, but without that meaning we had as breathing creatures, and our energy merges with the Universe as one again. And when our sun will die and life will be impossible on our planet (at least, life as we know it), we'll be back to that state that precedes life, with a planetary nebula that'll help other planets maybe have life on them or stuff.
Nightwish's Marko Hietala: "“It’s a song about a universe, or actually a multiversal force, so grand, so majestic, that it actually binds and permeates everything. All of our lives are just tiny particles in this mighty flow. And then there’s this mere human vocalist, and his friend, a human being as well, has written a story. And we’re in this rock group trying to bring its unique loneliness across to other mere humans.” P.S. Since this song personifies the universe/multiverse, it fits very well with the ideas of some scientists whose hypothesis takes a non-materialistic approach, saying that everything is information expressed as thought. As such, the universe "self-actualizes" itself into existence, relying on underlying algorithms and a rule they call "the principle of efficient language." bigthink.com/surprising-science/new-hypothesis-argues-the-universe-simulates-itself-into-existence?rebelltitem=3#rebelltitem3
Tuomas said this song is about Time. Time can be described as "a multiversal force, so grand, so majestic, that it actually binds and permeates everything. All of our lives are just tiny particles in this mighty flow."
Fairly sure both Endlessness and Harvest will be part of the set list (whenever they are able to perform live shows again) to engage Marko and Troy vocals.
The last bit of the lyrics is just... woah... Strips everything down to what is primal. Soon, beyond the fields you've come to know You will join the silent flow Follow me, I am the spark At the end of everything Tip the reaper to ensure The blade is sharp As soon we'll go Follow me into the dark To the birth of everything end.
First time i heard this song, was the evening this album got released. I was listening this while laying in my bed, in darkness, with my headphones on, ready to sleep after this song (had been listening the 1CD from beginning to end). Talk about interesting dreams ! 😂
This whole album is great but this song just hit me right. I think it may be my favorite but then some days I like Pan more or Tribal etc... Masterpiece of an album. Now I gotta wait anxiously for Epica’s new album.
You and me both! Waiting excitedly for a date announcement like yesterday for that Epica album! And yes, this album is a true masterpiece. Love every second of every song.
It might be the last song, but it is not the last musical piece of the album, "All The Works Of Nature Which Adorns The World" still come after. I love the ties between this song and the rest of the album, Harvest notably, it really ties the human part together.
@@ollytherock7324 That's harder, will you consider the tracks of the second disk as movements of a single piece and do them in a single take, or go with individual videos and risk missing how there really are one?
@@maximegosselin1119 Yeah, the 2nd CD will be difficult one reaction wise. No lyrics (well, there's some), complicated musical structures and what not. I doubt it is possible to internalize it at all unless you listen it from the beginning to the end in one session. I guess the way to go pretty much depends on what you think reaction videos are all about. I mean, if you think reactions are all about first impressions and not so much about analyzing the music ot reflecting about your reactions to the music, individual videos would be ok. Otherwise I'd go for the whole thing in one take. (that's the way I'd prefer it, BTW.)
There is a pretty cool vid of whole cd2 in yt fan made with very beautiful images, worth to watch. But the cd2 gives very nice pictures in ones head with music only too.
If people don't like this album they should just keep listening because it just gets better and better and that even before we have seen it performed live!
It is not the first time Tuomas has ended a song with 'the beginning' "Poet and Pendulum" and I get a strong sense as the ending of this track carries you into the beginning of 'All the Works ....'
I was wondering why it took so long... :) If "Music" was the perfect opening song for the album, then this is the perfect closing song for the album. And all the other songs are left between the two ... I am very happy that Marko sang this. We easily forget how good he is because the band also has Floor ... Two really awesome singers! Two versatile singers! All this becomes one final conclusion: Tuomas is a genius !!! But we already know that ... Tuomas really has a team that can play anything!
To me, one meaning behind this song is the endless cycle of life. The lines "At the end of everything ....To the birth of everything" suggest this to me.
Do these record companies not understand these reaction videos are FREE advertising? I know I've bought at least 200 albums in the last few years after I heard about a new band or album from reaction videos. The greedy bastards are slicing their wrists to stop their finger from bleeding.
Someone to share the Thief (Time) with, Dust with a meaning (someone you love) Precious and rare ( someone you love and can share existence with , to share time with.) THAT is the point of the song.
This is one of my favourite songs ever. You can feel the very concept of Endlessness. I live Marko's voice and yeah, the song wouldn't have the same feel, that "gravitas" if sung by anyone else. Also I personally find it really comforting: Why fear death, when it's not really the end but just another beginning? Like it or not, we'll just be going back to the Universe from where we started. Fear an "unsung" live instead and "tip the reaper to ensure the blade is sharp as soon we'll go". That line always gets me. (I'll admit I can never listen to this song just once)
Glad you're back, Olly! ☺ Oh, the tears, the emotion, the 'ride' that is NW. As someone of an Earth 'religion' (actually 'spiritual path', pagan) this album 'speaks' to me in many (profound) ways and I love it. - Great reaction and insights.

Great analysis. Really enjoyed watching you go through this epic composition and share your enthusisam. And Yes, I plead guilty, listened to this dozens of times.
Right, RIGHT!? Amazing. I love it. Oh I seriously had trouble waiting few hours because I saw it right away when you uploaded it and I couldn’t watch. 😱 Haven’t listened this song in few weeks though and now I listened it the first time after getting my first own guitar. Oh I wan’t to be able to play this. I’m so newbie it’s going to take too much time. 😭😀 Oh well, I’m motivated to practice at least. 😀 Thank you Olly, good vid.
Olly The Rock haha thanks. Yeah, it came crystal clear very fast that road is going to be long and rocky. But fun. 😀 And hey we have new thing in common, I can’t feel my fingertips either. 😀
my favorite songs of this album are Shoemaker, Procession , How is the heart and Endlessness. I just can not descide in wich order, it is even changing every time.
And you will see it in Poet and The pendulum Thoumas believe in god as well. Some say you can't have evolution with God but again how about God created everything to evolve so that oil could exist until it was no longer needed etc etc. That would be a master plan to which no other could duplicate
Generally I think that Marko is a little underused on this album. To this "doom and gloom" ending anthem his voice is perfect. The whole album is great. Maybe It's not Metal as such, but it's very versatile and coherent with the aims of it. Great interpretation by you Olly. Thank you!
Consider listening now who first album again all in one take. And comment the joyrney. No need to play all the song, just what do you feel the whole trip. I personally have listen individual songs Many times by now, but i always seems to enjoy most, when I listen the whole album in one take... as you said, this album does build up and the whole is more than individual songs. Also it may be better to not whatch the vide at the same time. These videos Are nice, but sometimes They captivate too much, when the music as its own has so much to say!
I agree that the videos take away from the message at times. I'm on my 19 trip through the album and I seem to always find something new. Tuomas is a man that has deep thoughts about everything he writes about. I would love to interview him just to pick mind.
Wonderful to see and hear your reaction. Your excitement is fantastic. According to Guylain Price (reactor from Canada) Endlessness is the separation between the 8 songs of Human and the 8 of Nature and represent the stroke in the symbols on the Albums cover. I like that idea. What do you think of that?
Endlessness, infinity. We could call it time, or it's maybe more, timelessness where time is only a phase. The spark is the, in the death of everything, the birth for something new. There's someone in the tomorrow, so with him we can walk in the darkness. To the death and birth of everything. The speckof dust has meaning, is precious, so we can walk fearless into dark with this one who waits in the tomorrow. Interestingly, the stardust forms kind of like person there in the space, in the end (and a new beginning) of this song. Like the endlessness would be a person. The spark, the death and birth of everything. That's - God. I'm not saying Nightwish is saying that. But God says I'm the alpha and the omega (last letter of the Greek alphabet), the beginning and the end. And God is endless, infinite - timeless. The Thief, you might say: it can't be God! Just there is one story like that in the teaching of Jesus: he's like a thief in the night who comes to steal prisoners free from the grip of the 'Powerful One' - which means Satan. It's a powerful angel, one of the high ones originally, but lost his position, for rebelling. Rebelling against life. Death and destruction, lust and greed follow his footsteps: giant mushroom clouds, hundred of shiny rocks - to bind us to the darkness, to the temporary things, to imprison us in time, in the disappearing stuff. He want to render us meaningless, make us not precious, to those sand grains of Sahara,who are unborn to life in the death and birth of everything by the Endless One, the Spark. The Spark wants you to join him in the death, for the birth of everything anew. He's waiting in tomorrow. He's already there, because what is time for the Endlessness, the maker of time too. After all, even the time is relative, it's dependant of speed, by the theory of relativity. Time is different for the very fast or the very slow moving particles or beings. But the Spark, the Beginning and the End - God, wnts you to join him for tomorrow, to go to the dark with him, the dark is also but just one more passing thing in the endless path. It's true we can miss that train, by getting stuck in the disappearing ones, to try to make oursleves a palace here, in the temporary, to try to ourself a name, thinking that will immortalize us. But who will remember our name, when the future generations are busy making themselves a name? And many names from the history we remember because they did something very horrible, like massacred a lot of people. We don't remember the names of the inventors of many beautiful things. Like who invented the first instruments (well, the Bible gives a name for such a person - but is it someone we remember?) for music? Who invented writing? Who made the first poem? It's more comforting to know you don't have to be elite, to be remembered by many, to be precious, to be valued by the spark who started your life in your mother's womb. God loves those who people barely notice. He also loves those who make a lot of noise desperately wishin someone would notice them. And the others. He calls us to join him in the tomorrow, you, the dust with a meaning. You're not meaningless, not futile. Neither are you more important of course, than the other ones :) The other forms most beautiful. The Endlessness seems so vast - yet it cares for every little speck of dust. We're called to join him - but not forced. Joy is not an obligation, life is not a duty. Life is a gift.
Read Neil Degrasse Tyson's book "Astrophysics for people in a hurry" he explains the beginning to the endlessness of the universe, and how it came to be. Also he really likes this album, not only is he a very educated man he loves good music, good food, fine wine
Well again its about the human condition and influence. And until we are no longer here to gage time our interactions are therefore are endless. That is how I take it as these are two albums human with lyrics and nature without words. It could also mean after we leave nature or something else to replace us endlessly. Your coin flip. Lol
I like the new album a lot, but I always have a hard time with lyrics. They just confuse me more than anything. I'm just not smart when it comes to figuring lyrics out unless they are spelled out in layman's terms. Sometimes words can have more than one meaning, which I know is what a lot of writers use so we can decide what the songs mean to ourselves. Over the years, I have just given up even trying to figure out what songs mean and just enjoy them for their musical and vocal performances. Cheers!
Yes, same here = "Over the years, I have just given up even trying to figure out what songs mean and just enjoy them for their musical and vocal performances." Cheers :-)
Have you seen Guyline Prince's reaction and analysis videos? They are great to watch! And he always analysing lyrics too. They are super! (He had made all the songs! 2nd cd too. That he made first. Btw; he is Franciscan munk!
thanx react this best song new album olly. marco truly are one of the best heavy singer in this world. thanx and great day there. ps. this song have same vibe or something (In the House, In a Heartbeat, part of the 28 Days Later Soundtrack.) both are masterpiece of course :)
Dude... how about back to Wintersun Forest Seasons album still three songs to react... Awaken from the Dark Slumber (Spring), Forest That Weeps (Summer) and Eternal Darkness (Autumn)... please and peace 🙏🏼😎✌🏼
GOD loves you but time is running short, by your free will please read the Gospel of Jesus Christ. (Joh 3:16-21) For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who practices truth comes to the Light so that his works may be revealed, that they exist, having been worked in God. - We were all born sinners which is why we must all be born again. (Rom 3:10, Rom 3:23, Rom 6:23) As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Rom 10:9-10) Because if you confess the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation. - All who call upon His name will be saved. A - Admit you're a sinner and that you need the Saviour B - Believe in your heart that God has raised Jesus Christ from the dead. C - Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord

my fav...still! Music and Pan closely follow and then all the others are fourth.
It's the penultimate song, not the last. The last is on disc 2.
Tuomas is a f*cking genius and this album proves that he has the right people in place to create pure magic.
hell yes
Yes! This album really is a masterpiece, honestly. Everything about the song: the heaviness and doomy feeling of the music, the orchestration, the voices, the lyrics... Everything works wonderfully together, and it's such a beautiful and melancholic but still hopeful song. I love it.

Marko's voice has something special, doesn't it?
Yes he does, when he started to sing it was like omg.
First time I heard Endlessness I didn't like Marcos voice. But I like it more and more :D
They seem like the perfect Yin and Yang of sound. I enjoy them so much.

That will be cool to see live.
Fairly sure both Endlessness and Harvest will be part of the set list (whenever they are able to perform live shows again) to engage Marko and Troy vocals.
So sad that Marco left the band. So this will probably not be played live.
Can never get enough of soundtrack & metal.
Endlessness is one of my favoritt songs on this album. As always; its really fun listening to you. Glad you are back 😎🤘
Markos song amazing. Kiitos.
The last bit of the lyrics is just... woah...
Strips everything down to what is primal.
Soon, beyond the fields you've come to know
You will join the silent flow
Follow me, I am the spark
At the end of everything
Tip the reaper to ensure
The blade is sharp
As soon we'll go
Follow me into the dark
To the birth of everything
end.
This last part, instrumental .... It's like sending a prayer into space.
And that's the how album finished
I just have to to write that "tip the Reaper to ensure, the Blade is sharp as soon we'll go" because my mother is dying.. That is beatiful line

Very, very beautiful. The hole album is spectacular I love it also the message they will gave us. I Love it all
This song makes me smile, laugh and cry from the movement.
Best music and song in the universe. This is the thing that makes the universe to be in balance.

One of the best songs made for Marco for a long time.
Finally some good Marko dose. If this album is missing something is clearly, CLEARLY more Marko. What an end to the first CD!
Amen to that.

A more than worthy ending of a masterpiece of an album…!
But wait… there is also a part 2 which eagerly awaits your reaction ;-)
As with all Nightwish songs, do not assume anything. Nightwish requires you to let go of your emotions and immerse yourself in the music.
To me, one meaning behind this song is the endless cycle of life. The lines "At the end of everything

@@thapsus1 LMAO -
my favorite songs of this album are Shoemaker, Procession
, How is the heart and Endlessness. I just can not descide in wich order, it is even changing every time.
Could also be heaven and he'll as once you leave here you will rest there endlessly also
Really like this one, especially since it has more guitar in it. Love the entire album but this song has a dark vibe what I like!
🤩Olly, you still going 🤘🇫🇮😁❤️🎸🎶
Yep, i will keep it going as long as the universe lets me. lol
Next stop: "All the Works of Nature Which Adorn the World"!! :D
🧡Terveiset Suomesta! ﴾ تحياتي من فنلندا! ﴿
this and harvest goes in tandem in a tuomas way.
And you will see it in Poet and The pendulum Thoumas believe in god as well. Some say you can't have evolution with God but again how about God created everything to evolve so that oil could exist until it was no longer needed etc etc. That would be a master plan to which no other could duplicate
Pleace react cd2.. stay safe
Generally I think that Marko is a little underused on this album. To this "doom and gloom" ending anthem his voice is perfect. The whole album is great. Maybe It's not Metal as such, but it's very versatile and coherent with the aims of it. Great interpretation by you Olly. Thank you!
I totally agree with you Marko is perfect for this song. What a way to end or not the album.
Consider listening now who first album again all in one take. And comment the joyrney. No need to play all the song, just what do you feel the whole trip. I personally have listen individual songs Many times by now, but i always seems to enjoy most, when I listen the whole album in one take... as you said, this album does build up and the whole is more than individual songs. Also it may be better to not whatch the vide at the same time. These videos Are nice, but sometimes They captivate too much, when the music as its own has so much to say!
I agree that the videos take away from the message at times. I'm on my 19 trip through the album and I seem to always find something new. Tuomas is a man that has deep thoughts about everything he writes about. I would love to interview him just to pick mind.
Wonderful to see and hear your reaction. Your excitement is fantastic. According to Guylain Price (reactor from Canada) Endlessness is the separation between the 8 songs of Human and the 8 of Nature and represent the stroke in the symbols on the Albums cover. I like that idea. What do you think of that?
That is interesting concept. Makes you think?
Endlessness, infinity. We could call it time, or it's maybe more, timelessness where time is only a phase.
The spark is the, in the death of everything, the birth for something new. There's someone in the tomorrow, so with him we can walk in the darkness. To the death and birth of everything.
The speckof dust has meaning, is precious, so we can walk fearless into dark with this one who waits in the tomorrow.
Interestingly, the stardust forms kind of like person there in the space, in the end (and a new beginning) of this song. Like the endlessness would be a person.
The spark, the death and birth of everything. That's - God.
I'm not saying Nightwish is saying that. But God says I'm the alpha and the omega (last letter of the Greek alphabet), the beginning and the end. And God is endless, infinite - timeless. The Thief, you might say: it can't be God! Just there is one story like that in the teaching of Jesus: he's like a thief in the night who comes to steal prisoners free from the grip of the 'Powerful One' - which means Satan. It's a powerful angel, one of the high ones originally, but lost his position, for rebelling. Rebelling against life. Death and destruction, lust and greed follow his footsteps: giant mushroom clouds, hundred of shiny rocks - to bind us to the darkness, to the temporary things, to imprison us in time, in the disappearing stuff. He want to render us meaningless, make us not precious, to those sand grains of Sahara,who are unborn to life in the death and birth of everything by the Endless One, the Spark.
The Spark wants you to join him in the death, for the birth of everything anew. He's waiting in tomorrow. He's already there, because what is time for the Endlessness, the maker of time too. After all, even the time is relative, it's dependant of speed, by the theory of relativity. Time is different for the very fast or the very slow moving particles or beings. But the Spark, the Beginning and the End - God, wnts you to join him for tomorrow, to go to the dark with him, the dark is also but just one more passing thing in the endless path. It's true we can miss that train, by getting stuck in the disappearing ones, to try to make oursleves a palace here, in the temporary, to try to ourself a name, thinking that will immortalize us. But who will remember our name, when the future generations are busy making themselves a name? And many names from the history we remember because they did something very horrible, like massacred a lot of people. We don't remember the names of the inventors of many beautiful things. Like who invented the first instruments (well, the Bible gives a name for such a person - but is it someone we remember?) for music? Who invented writing? Who made the first poem?
It's more comforting to know you don't have to be elite, to be remembered by many, to be precious, to be valued by the spark who started your life in your mother's womb. God loves those who people barely notice. He also loves those who make a lot of noise desperately wishin someone would notice them. And the others. He calls us to join him in the tomorrow, you, the dust with a meaning. You're not meaningless, not futile. Neither are you more important of course, than the other ones :) The other forms most beautiful.
The Endlessness seems so vast - yet it cares for every little speck of dust. We're called to join him - but not forced. Joy is not an obligation, life is not a duty. Life is a gift.
Thank you...
Read Neil Degrasse Tyson's book "Astrophysics for people in a hurry" he explains the beginning to the endlessness of the universe, and how it came to be. Also he really likes this album, not only is he a very educated man he loves good music, good food, fine wine
Please react to☺

Well again its about the human condition and influence. And until we are no longer here to gage time our interactions are therefore are endless. That is how I take it as these are two albums human with lyrics and nature without words. It could also mean after we leave nature or something else to replace us endlessly. Your coin flip. Lol
I like the new album a lot, but I always have a hard time with lyrics. They just confuse me more than anything. I'm just not smart when it comes to figuring lyrics out unless they are spelled out in layman's terms. Sometimes words can have more than one meaning, which I know is what a lot of writers use so we can decide what the songs mean to ourselves. Over the years, I have just given up even trying to figure out what songs mean and just enjoy them for their musical and vocal performances. Cheers!
Yes, same here = "Over the years, I have just given up even trying to figure out what songs mean and just enjoy them for their musical and vocal performances." Cheers :-)
Have you seen Guyline Prince's reaction and analysis videos?
They are great to watch! And he always analysing lyrics too.
They are super! (He had made all the songs! 2nd cd too. That he made first.
Btw; he is Franciscan munk!

Nightwish is awesome ! May I ask why you're not doing BABYMETAL reactions anymore ? I loved them. Is it because of the blocks ? :(
I'm still going to, but i have done two others and both got blocked. So we will try again.

Ok send me one link and i will do that one next.
GOD loves you but time is running short, by your free will please read the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
(Joh 3:16-21)
For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.
He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil.
For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
But he who practices truth comes to the Light so that his works may be revealed, that they exist, having been worked in God.
- We were all born sinners which is why we must all be born again.
(Rom 3:10, Rom 3:23, Rom 6:23)
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
(Rom 10:9-10)
Because if you confess the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.
For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation.
- All who call upon His name will be saved.
A - Admit you're a sinner and that you need the Saviour
B - Believe in your heart that God has raised Jesus Christ from the dead.
C - Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord
