Lyrics: I. Four Point Six
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, 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
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
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
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 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
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
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!
IV. The Understanding
"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 these 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."
V. Sea-Worn Driftwood
(Instrumental)
I saw this live and I will never overcome seeing masses of people screaming "we were here". It was the greatest show on earth, really.
I'm so jealous, sound amazing
Same. Saw them play it in Aug 2015 in Finland. First time in Europe. It was so awesome.
@@fryrish7749 Nov 2015 in Germany. :)
Just saw it live last night in New York!
@@finnlevi6011 same
This must be their magnum opus.
Their most ambitious and greatest song in their brilliant repertoire.
I love your word choice. I also must concur with your statement, this song is quite literally a masterpiece. Nightwish is known for grandeur and exquisite pieces of music but this... This is something else. I believe it's based off of Richard Dawkins Greatest Show on Earth as well.
@@kevinburns8473 it is, and he guests on their live performance at Wembley
Yep. Not my favourite Nightwish "opus" (that would have to be Song of Myself), but it's more ambitious and grandiose than even SoM, Poet and Beauty of the Beast were.
Definitely their magnum opus... perfection... majesty... gratitude for having breathed this air...
WE WERE HERE, today... now...
Blessed be, folks...
Compassion.. the only rational response... ❤
I love how in the “We were here” part, they start with Floor and Marco and then more voices join the phrase, like people who are not longer here from all centuries , Jesus!!! Goosebumps all over
Oh wow
So I haven't been the only one thinking that way, good to know :)
This might be one of the greatest songs period. Not many songs take you on an adventure like this song does.
I agree. Songs like this, The Poet and the Pendulum, and Shine on Your Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd are true musical experiences. ❤️
I would flat out say that this is the greatest musical piece ever written from an objective viewpoint, and that Toumas Holopainen is the greatest composer of all time from that very same objective viewpoint. A MASSIVE claim, but one I feel is justified. Not even Mozart could match this.
15:40 That whole "We were here" chorus is just amazing...
It's phenomenal. This is more than magic. You cannot desscribe it.
sung at a concert gains additional meaning 🥰
The first time I heard it, it made me cry.
I cannot listen to this without being emotionally moved
I am a grumpy old dried up cynical asshole who is normally very grounded and skeptical of everything, but when i listen to stuff like this it feels like there is magic in myself again.
@@victoriapschen lol you know this isn't anywhere near as good as their last two albums.
The studio version is way too flat, but I feel The Greatest Show on Earth is their best live song ever. The rest of the album is below Nightwish average though.
Me either. Especially nowadays, as it's a song that has gotten me through many a tough time.
Bearly a min into the song and I'm emotionally moved.
WE WERE HERE. One of the greatest songs EVER made. /,,/
Side note: Move over Morgan Freeman. Troy has the best voice in the world to narrarate anything :)
Troy does have a good voice but if you're talking about the narration at the end of the song, that is Richard Dawkins, not Troy.
oh i i know. and yeah i definitely meant troy. :)
I agree
The greatest song on Earth?
I thought Mr. Holopainen composed his masterpiece suite when I heard Ghost Love Score. Then the Poet and the Pendulum came out, and I thought that was it. Then Song of Myself came out, and it was even better. Nothing could top that, I thought again, until I heard this one. Goddammit Tuomas...
El Rojales I’m a little torn after reading this. I think Anette was a brave choice and DPP was one hell of a record (as was Once, outstanding). I like all vocalists who sang with this band so far, Floor is doing a fantastic job, and she has incredible versatility in style and texture. But in my honest opinion, speaking from a strictly musical perspective (melody, harmony, rhythm, overall complexion of composition etc) this record -while it’s obviously good music - pales in comparison to the strong melodies, raw power and emotion-driven artistic perfection Thuomas showed off -particularly on Once and DPP. Imaginaerum was the first album I thought didn’t continue the positive trend he set with the 2 albums before and in earlier gems like ‘Beauty of the Beast’, ‘Wishmaster’ or ‘Dead Boy’s Poem.’ I obviously listen to EFMB and Imaginaerum anyway, but it’s not QUITE the same experience. Opinions probably differ, but hopefully, the next one will be as extraordinary and mind-blowing as Century Child / Once/ DPP. I’ve noticed NW touring the globe extensively since Nemo catapulted them to superstardom, and I can’t help but allow a nagging occasional thought, that Thuomas has invested more time, energy and effort into developping the pre-Imaginaerum material, and I don’t mean this in a condescending or disrespectful way, I listen to the new albums as I said. Still, ‘The Siren’ or ‘Poet and the Pendulum’ are prime examples for detailed, sophisticated choir and orchestra scores and incredible performances by all band members (and guest stars, I mean holy f*** that violin solo in Siren ... I BEG YOU! Sickest! sh*t! ever by a non-band-member on all of their records).
I find the melodies of EFMB are simpler, less unique, probably more accessible to the average listener, but increasingly repetitive and more three-chord-pop harmonically and melodically. ‘Amaranth’ and ‘Slow, Love, Slow’ are a wonderful ‘before’-example for the quality I miss in harmony and melody. Also, the bagpipe themes start to sound regurgitated and the songs lack a little diversity in rhythm, style and structure. Hoping for a strong new album release soon, with daring shit like the bridge of ‘Stargazers’ or ‘Fantasmic’. That stuff IS EROTIC to listen to. And no, I don’t care which singer anyone prefers, Thuomas has proven that he can write wonderful music for each of their voices and Floor is fantastic live for both current and older material.
Then the Poet and the Pendulum is still my favourite ^^
@@MFRUclips683 Yea I agree with 90% of what you said. This album although nice to listen to, is pretty uninspiring musically. Simpler but also groovier I have to admit. It feels like a retread from previous albums and ideas and besides this song, they never pushed any boundaries. This was a very safe, middle of the road album. Imaginareum flips flops with Once for my top spot and I didn't even care for Anette (though she sings beautifully on that album) but the music is in par. It's heavy, punchy and experimental. That album was a definite creative high for them as far as I'm concerned. This just feels very lazy and I can't describe how let down I was when I listened to this album the first time. Though it has grown on me to a degree.
Kevin Richards yeah I guess I feel the same about the album but I wouldn’t listen to most tracks like listen to the old songs.
Eh Ghost love score and the Poet and the pendulum are classic metal songs....eh this is a bloody folk song. It's far to long and self indulgent and is an attempted rehash of the other two real classics that falls flat. Even Floors vocals are overly prediticble on this on.
"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?"
Powerful stuff, man.
+Bradley True dat!
To be honest, this is the only part that is, in my humble opinion, nonsense. This "vast majority" does not exist. You can't say that every possible DNA combination is a human being and only some of those are born, that's just not true. "Unused" DNA combinations are not humans, they are merely a theoretical thing.
I love the positive outlook on life that this line conveys, but it's based on nothing.
yeah i think we realise that. but what is life?electrical current through organic matter makes something alive. what compels a sperm to swim? it has a goal, an objective. does that not make in alive? it even dies if it doesn't complete its task. would you say a bacteria is not alive? because it has no organs, no obvious components that would indicate it is life, but it is. so is a sperm life? if you ask me.......damn straight!
davydavii Dawkins means it in a theoretical sense. Maybe a scientist more powerful than him could have been in his place. he's just speculating really and trying to make a point about how we take our lives for granted and whine about how ordinary we are when sometimes being orginary is just as good.
I have many disagreements with Dawkins, but I agree with him on just about as much. This is one of the things I deeply agree with.
probably the most ambitious thing I've seen from nightwish
more than The poet and the pendulum?
@@mariajota6917 this is 10 minutes longer than that song. While the poet and the pendulum is a masterpiece, the scale on this song is larger.
@@jeffreystevens8042 And now we have All The Works Of Nature Which Adorn The World, its fully instrumental but even longer and basically a full blown classical music synphony.
@@mariajota6917 Absolutely. Have you been listening?
This song is beautiful. You have to hear it, feel it, and mean it, understand it, and, most of all, live it, everyday. Nothing feels like standing in a thousands-of-people-crowd and sing and hear WE WERE HERE. And at that moment no other words are more perfect or fitting.
We. Were. Here.
Agreed!!! In the concert all sing/scream "We were here!!"... It's absolutely epic!
I am not religious, but i would join "nightwishism"
This is no longer music, this is art!
do you not consider music as an art form normally?
@@xtldc not all music. Some is just noice to me, other music is good and entertaining, but this has that little something extra that makes it so special. And that to me is what makes it "art".
@@miguelubieto1957 Of course there are varying levels of art. Not all art is of the same quality. My pornographic doodle is no comparison to the grandmasters.
S-should we tell them? xD
@@miguelubieto1957 I think you're not understanding the fact that music is subjective. Because all music is objectively a form of art, but of course, with varying degrees.
If I would have to choose a single song to listen till the end of my existence, this would be the one.
Same ...
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.
Such inspiring lyrics!
It's indeed a masterpiece. Can't find the right words. You have to feel this music into your soul, than you'll have an answer.
Stands my hair on end, that feeling that defies all words.
Gary Oeyen: very well said!! 🙂👍
An ironic comment, considering the presence of Dawkins in this, and the general message, but a welcome one.
Another masterpiece from Nightwish.
It's not mate it really isn't
@@maxrav1831 You seem to have some issues mate.
The Masterpiece!
出だしの音楽から狂おしいほど好き。
悲しくて、どこか不安や恐怖も感じるけれど、美しい.....。
本当に偉大な曲だよ、この曲は。ツォーマスの感性と、メンバーの演奏スキルに脱帽。生命の神秘と偉大さを音楽でここまで壮大に表現するなんて、常人じゃ到底出来ない。この曲は、音楽を新たな境地へ導いていると言っても過言ではない。本当にもっといろんな人に来てもらいたい、名曲。
いいですね！！
My favorite part starts at 0:00 and ends at - 24:03 😍
im ngl chief, the worst part of the sog is at 24:02, sucks so bad
very original comment haha
Don't forget about 24:03 to ∞ just sitting there with goosebumps
I saw them live last year and i cried during this song,there are no words for describing how epic it sounds live...
Man, he took his time in the sun
Had a dream to understand
A single grain of sand
The most powerful part for me is right at the end of the Toolmaker. When humanity, with its cosmic blip's worth of history cries out against Oblivion, shouting desperately in the mirror of careless cold Infinity and Eternity that WE WERE HERE!
Off to watch Life without People again...
Tuomas, the greatest musical genius.
Can you belive that since 2015, there hasnt been a single week when i have not listenned this from start to finish?
This song-the poet and the pendulum-ghost love score. I cant decide which one is my favourite song
Toprak Baydıer Lol those are my fave 3 too
Definitely Poet for me. But this one is a close second
You forgot Beauty of the beast and Song of myself
It's a hard choice, but I made up my mind. THIS is the magnum opus for Nightwish so far, GLS and TPATP are the runner-ups.
think I would go, poet, ghost and then this, especially now with Floor doing poet.
Nightwish raises those tiny hairs on your back like no other band ever before. Keep the metal cinematic, it's awsome!
BEST. SONG. EVER.
Right
Yes
Eveytime I fell sad or angry I come here just to listen to this song and feel relaxed.
This is as epic as just a few things in the universe! A masterpiece of poetry, philosophy, culture, music, and soul-feeding. Nightwish is the soundtrack of my life, and this song... man this song...
Very few songs can be 24 minutes long, feel like a few and never a dull moment. And very few bands can make symphony and metal mix into someting so intensly enjoyable.
Absolute work of art, this song is perfection, best work nightwish have ever done, will be EXTREMELY hard to top this, but tuomas always does somehow
I can't wait for them to get back to work after their year off. I'm sure he has some fantasmal shit cooking lol
I'd love to see him take on some Lovecraftian stuff.
@@MATCHLESS789
I don't think that's his style...that said though they have floor and I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about floor singing something slow raspy and crawly
This song actually helped my depression a bit.
ROCK OUT ALWAYSH
Really? because it bloody depressed me a bit.
Good Luck with that, Oleg. If i can give you an advise, try to no think, and live the present moment :)
You mean , it helped you to find out about the meaning of existense ..a bit , somehow.
@@maxrav1831
How can you be depressed?
The people that could be here in your place are greater than Mozart, more intelligent than Dawkins, even better singers than Floor Janssen.
We have defeated stupifying odds to be able to say:
WE WERE HERE
Enjoy this moment - because you're not getting another one, that's for sure.
Tuomas Holopainen is a fliipin genius!! This makes my head explode!! Cheers Tuomas!!
After listening to this, I went back to when I was 16 which is when I quit music. After years of hard training, I had written two symphonic pieces, of course incomparable to this. But if I had gone on with my training, after 22 years, I might have been friends with Toumas. Now to start all over again... Thank you for the feeling of rebirth, Nightwish.
You've had three years. That's a long time. I hope you've managed to harness at least a fraction of the potential that this amount of time has afforded you.
Ghost love score, the poet and the pendulum, song of myself and THIS! BEAUTIFUL SONGS
This is one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've ever had the chance to listen to and I'm very very grateful it exists
Fantastic Song , takes me away every time. For me it is the Mona Lisa of Music.
A modern day multifaceted Masterpiece! Tuomas contains!
If I could turn back time to relive the memory of listening to any one song for the first time all over it again, it would be this one. It just doesn't get better than this.
That is a very interesting wish. It has made my day. Much appreciated.
i could listen to the piano intro bit in a loop for hours
Absolutely their best piece. Granted I know the message of the album, as a theistic evolutionist, this hits me spiritually. They always remind me why they are my favorite band of all time. And I love them so much
This song alone makes life worth living
Pure talent. And than there is damn Despacito is No.1 most listened song ever.
Vito Mamula
Weak.
This is music.
Poor sheeps, they don´t know what is music
No need to compare. I like Despacito because it's fun to dance to. I like this because I can be overwhelmed with awe at the universe...
🤢🤢🤢🤢. This is what I think of despacito! I love Nightwish! Always awesome!
more like Garbagito
No hay palabras para describir todos los sentimientos que evoca esta canción y este álbum en general. Como biólogo y estudioso del proceso evolutivo ame esta canción y todo este valioso trabajo por intentar llevar la ciencia a través de la música. Grande Nightwish!!! 🥺🥺🥺🌎🧬
WE WERE HERE *epic guitar riff intensifies*
Only Nightwish can have the longest and the most awesome songs
Listen to Moonsorrow
Listen to Dialith.
This song it's a documentary and a rock opera all in one.
This is definitely The Greatest Show on Earth
We were here.
So much sense in three words.
Good bye, thank you, we f...ed up. And justice for all...
More than music.
I don't know why but somehow I imagen Tuomas writing a 1 hour song at some point in his career, and that one would be his ultimate masterpiece, I can almost feel this leading up to that. Obviously it could very well never happen but if it did, well I for one will be waiting and enjoying all the music that is still to come, great as they all are they are still growing and that can lead to anything.
This song was originally 1 hour and 30 minutes long before they compressed it down :D
This is Nightwish, perfect even when you doubt it.
All I can say is WOW!
Floor Jansen is the greatest thing to happen
to Nightwish!
is it just me or does this whole
piece is like a song for all the 3 singers of nightwish or 3 different Eras of Nightwish. The beginning really freaking sounds like it is Tarja singing or at least i get a very strong vibes of that Opera Era, then comes the epic melody of the Dark Passion plays Anettes era with the pipes and all and then finally the queen of all Floor’s Era. I dont know why i get these vibes. Of course the whole musical and instrumental piece itself is a wonderful piece of art as well :)
Funny thing is only Floor can pull that off. The other singers are more one dimensional although good singers on their own. Floors singing has so many dimensions that she unifies Relativity with Quantum Mechanics!
@@hankscorpio6596 you are absolutely correct!
@@hankscorpio6596 For who I think is the most exceptional female operatic singer in power metal, I recommend Dianne van Giersbergen from Xandria.
Listen to "The Queen of Hearts Reborn." She can belt, she can sing operatically with the most full, spectacular vocals I've ever heard in a metal band, and she can do spoken parts with a theatrical flair I haven't heard from nearly any other vocalist in any metal band.
I just realized that I listen to this at least once every day...
It is impossible not to let a tear go while listening to this. No matter how many times I listen to it. It always hits me, specially the words from min 18:10
Absolutely same feeling to me..
Thus is richard dawkins
the greatest song on earth
This song is a modern day masterpiece, but even with the outstanding musical writing, rendition, vocals, even the message, one of my favorite parts is right at the very end, the sound of the whale breaching, with good headphones the sound of its massive body hitting the water is nature are it’s best
Me and my fiance in the car:
Her: Can we listen to something else?
Me: Fine, one more song?
Her: Fine
Me:
Hit her with 4'22" by John Cage instead
lol, 25 mins songs are perfect for driving.
I think I want this played at my funeral.
After listening to this multiple times it blends everything together from all three singers, each one having a specific style of acoustics behind them. This beautiful menagerie of chaos blended seamlessly with one another to bring about this profound masterpiece.
One of the best Nightwish songs, so freakin gooood and epic, I get "Avatar" vibes as well ❤️ Symphonic Metal in its best. 🎵🎶❤️
This is so right.
A BRILLIANT rock band does justice to Richard Dawkins!
I own both "The GOD Delusion" and "The Greatest Show on Earth" in hardback - they are both superb books, deserving of epic 20-minute songs!
On one of the live videos of this song, Dawkins himself appears on stage - it was AWESOME!
Mai Nem He doesn’t hold a candle to Georges LeMaître.
I think this is a metal band.
A friend of mine recommended this band.
So far, so good.
ShardFox06 the best!! :)
That's a good friend you have there!
When you watch any video from Floor at Beste Zangers and scroll through the comments, you'll come across a few just saying "WE WERE HERE". That's a nice illustration for how much impact this song made.
The Greatest Song in the entire known + ever expanding Universe.
My favorite Nightwish composition.
Listening to this song makes me cry when thinking what we have been doing to our beautiful world for centuries. Yes there is a nobler way to spend my existence, that is to do what I can to preserve life on this planet
After I listened to this song for the first time I made myself a commitment to listen to it at least once every day. That's how much I love this song.
Every time. Every single time i cry in the "we were here" part, no matter how many times ive heard, it hits me everytime the ssme way.
This one is so powerful, i have no words.
Tuomas, Floor, Markus, (all the band) you geniuses!!
this is an experience
I couldn't have said it better myself. Not just a song, but an experience.
A man wonders why this has so few views.
A man should make a list and give the gift.
Valar dohaerhis.
I just heard this song for the first time. As soon as that final narration started at the 18 minute mark, I just couldn't hold it in any longer. I cried, and I honestly couldn't stop for the rest of the song.
The song I always throw on when I'm in a dour mood. And it always lifts my spirits every time.
This is the best song I have ever heard in my life. I am so thankful for discovering Floor and this band. I can't wait to see them 23th of November 😍
This is... The Greatest Show on Earth! 🤘
I randomly started crying at the outro because I only ever listen to the live version which stops with "kiitos" and no outro music. But here it is, right in front of me, and suddenly I was sixteen again, standing in a full stadium, staring at the band who just finished their showcloser, with the crowd around me starting to disperse because the concert was over, but I was still standing as to me it was never, never in my life going to be over.
The Greatest Song that ever got stuck in my head. My workdays are blessed
11:54-16:46 = pure, unadulterated epicness...
I got goosebumps because of that
They could limit themselves to this piece instead of doing 24 minutes of which most do not serve. Anyway you're right :)
If Nightwish's songs were used in computer games it would be sick as hell!
This part is perfect for some shooter's final mission when you and your comrades need to destroy hordes of enemies and whole place shakes from explosions. It's epicness at it's finest and purest!
At one moment this song made me cry!
Absolutely stunning. I also think the moody blues would be impressed...nightwish have accomplished what they repeatedly attempted all those years ago
We were here... still here💯🤘🏿
Gave Nightwish a try for the first time tonight... I'm not disappointed
Wished they would've had Nightwish do the Lord of the Rings soundtrack. Eargasm overload
Masterpiece of the decade?
Reminds me of Dream Theater's "A Change in Seasons". Different themes obviously and not as elaborate, but I absolutely adore this track and have mad respect for this band!
Every time I hear this song, I imagine extraterrestrial explorers arriving on the post-apocalyptic wasteland that Earth will one day become, unearthing this record, and being as blown away by the 'we were here' part as I am.
Better yet to imagine that although we were here, we evolved into more advanced beings as different from homo sapiens as the Devonian era organisms are from us. But, still, for a brief moment of geologic time, we were here.
@@kennethkalls4031 byliśmy tutaj i został po nas pył ?!
Still masterpiece in 2020
It will stay a masterpiece forever.
Definitely a masterpiece.
LE meilleur morceau depuis la création du groupe NIGHTWISH
Una musica universale, eterna, senza parole per descriverla, solo emozioni !
And then I turned on the radio after listening to this masterpiece. Got cancer.
lmao Yeah it does seem like music these days are shit
Is tuomas holopainen the greatest lyricist of all time? Absolutely yes
When you´re listening more than 20 minutes to the same song and just think... `damn` it will soon end :-) I can´t stop listening to this stuff. This is SO good
Damn you Tuomas..!! I've been a faithful Nightwish fan from 1998 to 2005.. I was pissed that you fired Tarja the way you did but after listening to The poet and the pendulum i could'nt hold my personnal grudge upon you anymore.. You made me f* ckin cry and i thought that Ghost love score was one of your masterpieces but you've arrived with this Greater than Greater Masterpiece... I'm now back a Greater fan than i have Ever been of Nightwish..!!! Damn you Tuomas but also Thank you !!!! 🤘🤘🤘
I think there was a lot more under te surface than we`ll ever know.....
Vincent van Gogh (Dutch painter) was crazy as a doornail, (at least that`s what they thought at the time) was also a genius....... Leonaro da Vinci was also not very mainstream and called a fool for his ideas....look what he did........ Creative minds are hard to get...... but we don`t have to get it, we just have to enjoy the ride....... thanks Tuomas, for tearing me up with your songs
Tuomas - thanks for being alive, mate.
Now this is what I call a masterpiece.
I've never given this band the respect they deserve, until now.
So very beautiful !!!!!
WE WERE HERE!
This should be sent out with the next Voyager-probe if there'll ever be one
Yes ! I can't agree more with this.
We were here!🤘🤘🤘❤️❤️
Its like Disney meets Disturbed. I say that jokingly.That is actually to praise Floors vocal intensity.I actually just found this band on the internet last week.I feel like I have been missing something.I have listened to all of their vocalists and I find the newest lineup to be the most capable.I would go see this band in a heartbeat.There is always room for a band that makes you think.I have to let you know I am 62 Years old.Loved Queensryche.See some similarities.This band has my attention.Loved Live at Tampere.Waiting for new release
you will really like Kamelot, Conception and Circus Maximus, the direct sequel to 80s Queensryche music btw. these bands and rock operas came after concept albums. is a mix between Disney cinematic music and melodic hard rock. is a interesting genre, Nightwish is part of the symphonic and gothic pole of the genre.
