    Tell Sarah that Tuomas actually had an idyllic childhood. Dead Boy and Ocean Soul are his alter egos. Whenever Tuomas was troubled, he would remember the happy boy he had been - the child now 'dead'. "Meadows of Heaven" are a reference to the countryside around his childhood home where he spent so much time. It was Tuomas as a young man who failed to find the love he craved. He has said that his songs are from the diary of his life. This song was about how he wanted to be remembered when he died - for his music. It's an apology to all those he felt he'd disappointed in life. The lines "wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin,
    died for the beauty, the one in the garden" are references to some of his earlier songs. But he eventually found Johanna , and the love he'd looked for for so long. That's when his music began to look outward towards the stars, instead of inwards to his pain.

      Nice explanation with the alter ego perspective. I feel this song is also about growing into adulthood. Where the (innocent) inner boy had to "die" to make room for for an adult Tuomas that had to make tough life decisions where he could no longer please everyone. But the child-Tuomas will still remain in the music he wrote.

    That's why I like Sarah so much. She doesn't just say "I don't understand", she also justifies it very comprehensibly.
    She wants to understand the whole song and especially the lyrics of Nightwish are not always easy to interpret.
    Tom is the typical man in metal..."sounds good" that's it 😁. Of course, all the enthusiasm that is so entertaining for us is still on top. That's why you make a good team together. And so sympathetic. At least I think so.
    Btw. The little boy is Tuomas. His story.

    Tuomas is the Dead Boy, he is writing this song, almost like a suicide note or death of his inner child. Things he would like to say if he were to die to his loved ones. The part, "And you, I wish didn't feel for you anymore" I believe was to Tarja. Sing what you can't say, forget what you can't play. Tuomas is a real deep guy, but often keeps his emotions buried deep and lets them out in his music. Tuomas often refers to himself in lyrics as, Songwriter, Poet, Ocean Soul, and in this one The Dead Boy. Everything I (wished for in the Night) Nightwish? He is a deep guy, that often expresses himself through his songs.

    @Thorgrim247 3 года назад +9

    Is Sarah allergic to the cat? She just answered my question. The crane is the mobile camera for filming the concert. That is one possible meaning for this song. Tuomas had a wonderful childhood growing up in remote Kitee Finland. Even if he was somewhat isolated and did not have many childhood friends. It makes more sense coming from Tuomas and also due to the line "The sweet piano writing down my life". This is obviously a song directly about Tuomas. The verses are recalling his songs and the thought process involved in creating them. Here is what I found as far as a probable song meaning.
    This is a very emotional and personal song for Tuomas. The small child's voice represents Tuomas' inner child speaking. When asked what this song was about "Tuomas has said about this song, that it's about if he were to die tomorrow, what would he want to say to everyone that he loves, and that love him..."
    A theoretical unexpected early death.
    Notice the small boy on the screen reaching out to the flying swans on the screen. The swan is the guide to the afterlife in Finnish mythology. He is reaching out to implore them to take him with to the other side. A beautiful song filled with sadness from an unfulfilled destiny.
    These are the spoken words by the small boy (The Dead Boy's Poem)
    "If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it - don't remember Tuomas - Just his poetry
    Remember only the verse, songmaker's cry the one without tears
    For I've given this its strength and it has become my only strength. - His relationship with music and words
    Comforting home, mother's lap, chance for immortality - Rural Finland, loving parents, will his music live on?
    where being wanted became a thrill I never knew - finding fulfillment from appreciation for his music
    The sweet piano writing down my life" - Tuomas put himself into his music and lyrics
    "Teach me passion for I fear it's gone
    Show me love, hold the lorn
    So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me - His family and the fans who loved him and his music
    I'm sorry - sorry he will no longer give us fans his musical creations
    Time will tell (this bitter farewell)
    I live no more to shame nor me nor you
    And you... I wish I didn't feel for you anymore..." - The pain and disappointment he feels for letting us down
    A lonely soul
    An ocean soul

    Maybe for Sarah you could find lyrics for the song and she could read them BEFORE you react to the song since it is very important for her. I would personally not recommend looking at lyrics separately at the same time as watching the video. People tend to miss things going on or the emotion in the video when they spend too much time analyzing the lyrics at the same time. Just my thoughts, great reaction guys!

    The lyrics 4 Sarah
    I live no more to shame, nor me, nor you
    I'm sorry
    Born from silence, silence full of it
    A perfect concert, my best friend
    So much to live for, so much to die for
    If only my heart had a home
    Sing what you can't say
    Forget what you can't play
    Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes
    Walk within my poetry, this dying music
    My love letter to nobody
    Never sigh for better world
    It's already composed, played and told
    Every thought, the music I write
    Everything, a wish for the night
    Wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin
    Died for the beauty, the one in the garden
    Created a kingdom, reached for the wisdom
    Failed in becoming a god
    Never sigh for better world
    It's already composed, played and told
    Every thought, the music I write
    Everything, a wish for the night
    If you read this line
    Remember not the hand that wrote it
    Remember only the verse
    Songmaker's cry, the one without tears
    For I've given this its strength
    And it has become my only strength
    Comforting home, mother's lap, chance for immortality
    Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew
    The sweet piano writing down my life
    Teach me passion, for I fear it's gone
    Show me love, hold the lorn
    So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
    I'm sorry
    Time will tell, this bitter farewell
    I live no more to shame, nor me, nor you
    And you
    I wish I didn't feel for you anymore
    A lonely soul
    An ocean soul
    A lonely soul
    An ocean soul
    So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
    Time will tell
    A lonely soul
    An ocean soul
    A lonely soul
    An ocean soul

    They are swans in the background picture. In Finnish mythology swans carry the souls of the dead to the afterworld. Tuomas is the child. Tuomas is Oceanborn. Tuomas said "This is the most personal song I've ever written. My
    testimony for the whole world. With this song I want to apologise
    everyone who deserves my apology. It also makes an "I don't care"
    -statement to them who deserve it. The song is also about what Nightwish
    means and has meant to me. It's all, without it I'm dead. I have
    created it and it has created me. When I pass away, this song's lyrics are of what I wish to be remembered. An Ocean Soul." - before he wrote The Poet and The Pendulum....

    There are very deep and precise explanations in the comments - but keep in mind that Tuomas want the listener to make his/hers own thoughts, based on the individual memories and life experiences. And it's here (imho) Tuomas's real genius shines - being able to write poetry in ways the are open to individual interpretation. And it simultaneously opens for Floor's coloring of the lyrics, and her interpretation - and she gets the freedom to do it from Tuomas....
    That's pure geniusity - from both!!

    Especially for Sarah, listen to the NW song Swanheart I would recommend to find out what the lyrical link is with this song. Tuomas is struggling with his being, his earth existence and alter ego more than once in his life and you can find it in several of his compositions. Also the tension in his earlier relationship with the first vocalist Tarja is interesting to figure out in some of his songs.

    Hi! It's not always easy to understand what Tuomas really means in his songs, some songs have double or more meanings, some songs can be interpreted by you, what you understand or what you feel or think about or what it says to you but most songs are clear. I hear Nightwish since 1997 and there are some songs i don't know what he would say or what he really means til today. But it's not so importand for me. You can found many answers in the net or when you talk with other fans, what they understand, what they feel or what a song means to them. Sometimes he only will make people think about some problems in the world. But anyway, i like that when it's a little poetic and not clear in the first moment or after first time hearing. But i like this song, you two have right, they always sounds great. I would wish my english where better, it's sometimes hard for me writing what i really would say. Thanks for another nice reaction. Greetings to you two!

    Tom, since Sarah is very analytical (like my wife) I think she would really benefit from studying the lyrics of a song a couple times right before actually listening to the music. That way she would not feel she was missing out on the context of the song.. Free to enjoy the music with its context already fairly understood. Just a thought. Long term NW fans already know the plots and sub-plots of every song. They don't have to try to keep up. Frustrating for people we both know.

    well I don't know about feeling "down" but it doesn't look like you've reacted to "The Poet and The Pendulum" yet and it's pretty much guaranteed you will feel something, but as with this one Nightwish might have some dark things to say but they will never leave you down there like with this one offering hope at the end. And as with this one I really recommend (if you haven't done it already) that you research and check the backstory on Poet before watching, it's very personal and they do have a lyric video so you can more closely follow the story.

    You have to please let Sarah react with you to every Nightwish song.
    As she accurately pointed out, their songs are complex and filled with nuances. She brings a lot of analytical divges into the songs and you the very raw emotional connections .......same as me
    Great team guys

    For me, it is not so much the words.
    It's the way Floor sings, with so much emotion, that gets me and when
    you link it with her graceful movements...
    Wow...😥😥😥😥 the Goddess of Empathy gets you....good
    One of the Epic 4..for me that is..

    "I don't think I can feel down when listening to this band." Oh... oooh...
    'Poet and the pendulum' will teach you better, dude.
    If at some point you want to react to Poet and the pendulum as well, make sure you read up on the background to this song before - knowing about it will help you understand the deep meaning of this song. I recommend the Wembley 2016 video with the lyrics in it.
    Love your reactions, thanks man!

    Hard to get lyrics from a first listen, especially a live show.. But, you don't want to get distracted from the performance video trying to figure out the lyrics.. I watch a live videos because there's a lot going on. Seeing a reactor looking off to the side, or not making an expression when something in the video is going on.. kind of bums me out, because I can kind of tell they didn't notice because they were busy reading lyrics..

    "comforting home, mother's lap, chance for immortality, where being wanted became a thrill i never knew"
    Every note, every key change and every drum beat of this song is designed to make you make you weep. This is Tuomas' summary of the song:
    "This is the most personal song I've ever written. My testimony for the whole world. With this song I want to apologise everyone who deserves my apology. It also makes an "I don't care" statement to them who deserve it. The song is also about what Nightwish means and has meant to me. It's all, without it I'm dead. I have created it and it has created me".
    Tuomas is the child...

    Hey Tom! I like a lot of your reactions, especially Nightwish reactions. I suggest you a great Finnish band you should make a reactionvideo. That is Sonata Arctica. Here are some good pieces: Raven and Wolf, Full Moon or Tallulah. I am sure that you like them. Please!

  • @anthonyferguson9282

    This song was my intro to Nightwish. The album version, in 2012, not this version with Floor. This version has so much more emotion in it for me.

  • @dylin0018
    @dylin0018 3 года назад +1

    Maybe search for the lyrics online and read them before or have it available during your reaction. I'm the same way that I don't hear the words clearly in a song especially Tuomas writes them in a poetry format. It really helps to look it up first. Good work guys!

  • @gillandianyt3920
    @gillandianyt3920 3 года назад

    I love how Floor starts quietly, gradually ramping it up through the song.
    Up to 20% of the population are "Highly sensitive", mostly artists, musicians, writers, etc.
    Tuomas and Floor definitely are,
    from the way the others react and produce such amazing unified sound, I guess they are too.
    It might have been difficult for Tuomas as a child,
    feeling things differently from others, being misunderstood,
    even though happy in the family with loving parents.
    He has said it is up to us to interpret how we want, and get a relevance to us.
    Love how Marco was jamming with Troy after the quite bit.
    Floor ramping up again.
    Cave plants?

    Tom, you know this by now, boy, poet, dreamer, writer or anything connected with the ocean, are all Tuomas pseudonyms. Nothing is ever wasted with Tuomas lyrics or backdrops, but you have to really dig deep. The song is his self-written epitaph/obituary. Tuomas has always said he is a man with a boys heart, it's fairly obvious he was a gifted and therefore isolated child. It seems his parents did not recognise his character either, but I have struggled with "failed at becoming a God", maybe the full recognition by his parents, I don't know.
    Tuomas has said he does not explain lyrics, you have to decide, just like a master work painting, you have to see in it what you believe, he likened it to interviewing Da Vinci about the Mona Lisa, if we knew everything behind that, he says, the magic and attraction would be lost.
    "Walk within my poetry, this dying music. . . . . . . . . ." Yes?
    The boy imploring the swans in the backdrop is Tuomas and swans, in Finnish culture, carry you off to the afterlife. You can look at The Swan of Tuonela by Sibelius too.
    There's two bits of Shakespeare in it, Sonnet 71 and 72, you can find them here:
    If you read these lines remember not the hand that wrote them. is from Sonnet 71
    I Live no more to shame, nor me, nor you is from Sonnet 72.
    Tuomas said it's the Mother of all Nightwish songs. He said "This is the most personal song I’ve ever written. My testimony for the whole world. With this song I want to apologise everyone who deserves my apology. It also makes an “I don’t care” -statement to them who deserve it. The song is also about what Nightwish means and has meant to me. It’s all, without it I’m dead. I have created it and it has created me. When I pass away, this song’s lyrics are of what I wish to be remembered. An Ocean Soul."
    A great reaction to a very poignant and beautiful song Tom, thank you.

    They didn't understand the meaning of the song, it's LITTLE THUOMAS always composes dreams, feelings beyond what can be explained, it's a beautiful ballad that moves me to tears. Nightwish's lyrics are not read, they are felt (without speaking fluent English) I understand their meaning. Read with your ears, dream about music and you will understand each song.
