    So many reactions to nightwish. As a 67 year old I found them a few months ago and have been given a new lease of life. They allow us and encourage us not to forget how valuable our childhood hopes and dreams are. They have old men like me buying their live dvds drinking a glass or two of wine and dancing around my room in utter joy. Love to all Nightwish fans, where can I sign up to join your army. 😊❤

      Your story sounds very similar to my discovery of Nightwish. I fell in love with this band and especially Floor when she opened her mouth to sing the amazing Wacken version of Ghost Love Score. Chills, jaw dropping, waterworks, and opened my soul to this amazing band. I cannot get enough.
      Just love great emotional music and this band in all its forms for starters. Then continue to encourage reactors and spread the word of this amazing band. This is the mission of the Nightwish army as well as attending as many shows as possible and support the band in every way. It is a very difficult job being a musician in todays world.
      You will not feel out of place. There are Nightwish fans from 10 to 75 at the shows. I was recently at a show in May and right next to me on the floor was a father of around 30-35 with his young 12 year old daughter on his shoulders enjoying the show. I sked her what her favorite Nightwish song was and she said she loved Floor and was waiting to hear "Storytime". So heartwarming to watch her face light up when they broke into the intro for Storytime. She was singing along with all her heart. I loved it!

    One more thing to love about Tuomas and his work as a composer: turning a gigantic, ancient, science class\theory into this beautiful, powerful, very entertaining to watch, symphonic metal performance. His creative side is off the charts, plus Floor, Marko and Troy did an amazing job on the vocals, the WE WERE HERE always gives me goosebumps and makes me very emotional

    It's clear by this video just how much the members of Nigthwish care for one another. Floor and Tuomas walking off stage with their arms around each other and Floor and Kai walking back from, the cat walk doing the same for example. So heart warming to watch. When I die, I am going to request that my family play this song at my funeral. :)

    Later on Tuomas commented on Tampere show: "The bullseye". Nightwish took year off because of the 'Greatest Show On Earth' song. It was Tuomas' big dream to make a song of that magnitude and when it was finally ready, he had nothing left. Usually when the albums were ready, he started getting inspirations immediately for the stories of the next album - like 2007 after Dark Passion Play was ready he started to get idea of Imaginaerum album (2011). They had been on a Endless Forms Most Beautiful (2015) world tour for almost a year and he hadn't had any inspirations, so they were kind of forced to make the decision to take 2017 completely off.

    Yes, Enter Sandman came at a point in the song that had to do with modern music. That's why you heard that along with Bach and others in that short clip. Needless to say they pay homage to their influences but that was genius in Tuomas' part.
    That "WE WERE HERE" part always gets me, especially with the tone Floor adds to that line.
    A great ending to a great experience but we will be expecting more. 😉

    There are so many “hidden gems” that Tuomas included in the lyrics & the music.
    14:25 The musical tributes start with some African tribal drumming, then through the Gregorian chant in Dies Irae (Mozart), Bach’s Minuet in G Major followed by his famous Fugue in D Minor, followed by American banjo music, Metallica’s Enter Sandman riff (!!!), finally ending in Rap/Hip-Hop and 90s dance music.

    There are challenges in this song of course. Floor said: I'd have to be extra careful in the beginning of "The Greatest Show on Earth", for example because some of the phones rise from the back of the throat but "operatic" vocals are produced in the front of the mouth.
    Yes you heard Metallica, as part of the evolution of music - plainchant and Dies Irae, Petzold, Bach and others, leading to Metallica followed by the pinnacle of modern Music: Nightwish.
    You have to love Marco's little smile when he's on the catwalk 😀
    Floor acts the whole thing, as always, so that weaponry, grain of sand and so on are all represented in her actions.
    The Wembley version is slightly different and in that you find backing track cellos replaced by Troy with eBow in the opening section and Richard Dawkind coming out in person to read from his book "Every Form Most Beautiful" and from The Origin of Species by Darwin.
    In that show he has to stop at @Every Form Most Beautiful@ for the audience applause at the fact that the album and associated tour were named for that book.
    As a sidenote, at the Wembley concert, Richard met Floor backstage and said "Hello, darling, what do you do?"
    "Well, I am the singer of the band."
    "Oh, you sing, do you? I like people who sing!" (As related by Troy)

    Notice immediately you recognize the Metallica riff that Tuomas put in as a nod to one of his bands that he discovered and he has said was one of his biggest influences on his sound. I know your going to continue your journey on the Nightwish path, I know you also like it heavy metal, please add on your list at sometime Floor’s band, Revamp and I would suggest, Distain, Trial of Monsters or Millions live at Graspop. FYI- Floor formed this band to have more control after her first band Ever After disbanded after just one album. Great band but creative differences by members of the band (not Floor) created the breakup. The creative genius band leader went on to form Epica. Getting back to Revamp Floor truly has Metal running in her veins as she wrote most of the songs, pick the members and really created the vibe of the band. Revamp was successful and Floor was only really helping out Tuomas when Annette started to have complications with her pregnancy and suddenly had to leave midway thru a North American tour. A great documentary on how Floor came to Nightwish, please Learn the Setlist in 48 hours. She officially became a full member about 10 months later because she loved Tuomas arrangements and she could continue any outside projects. Floor suffered from exhaustion about a year or to after had to take a year to recover. Now she monitors her workaholic drive. Rock On Stay Safe!🙏🤘🤘🤘

    Your reaction was truly worth the wait. You absolutely understood the weight and depth of this masterpiece, and why I consider it the greatest composition of my lifetime (a long one). The "Enter Sandman" was at the end of a tribute to the history of music and composition, which began with Bach's "Minuet in G" on the harpsichord. I noticed that you got chills, as I always do, when Floor did what I call "Mother Nature's call for life to begin" with the red background, and also on my favorite moment ... "us sleeping!". The depth of this musical masterpiece becomes even more evident as one researches some of the references. I told you about one line in my "Poet" comment. Another hidden in allegory is "Lonely farer in the Goldilocks zones, she has a tale to tell." The Goldilocks zones is the area of the solar system which is "not too hot, not too cold" to sustain life. there is one planet in this area of our solar system and it is ours, so he's referring to Earth and the story of how we came to be. LUCA was mentioned ... Last Universal Common Ancestor ... from which life evolved. Little Lucy being the remains found in Africa, which were considered the earliest biped. Tuomas is pure genius, and this song is his in which to shine. In most cases, he lays the musical foundation on which the others build. In this song, the keyboards take the helm and drive this through it's end. There is so much more for you to discover, and I will be there with you. I'm emotionally attached. You are such a wonderful person, and nothing excites me more than watching you discover the brilliance of the many levels of this band's genius. Thank you for using the Tampere version. Now ... please go back (either on your own or as a reaction) and watch the Wembley version. There are significant differences that add to the experience, as well as Richard Dawkins (the author of the book for which this song was titled) making an in person appearance to recite the last paragraph of Darwin's "Origin of the Species" (which was read over the titles at the end of this performance). Love you to the moon, dear Lady. Thanks so much for sharing!

  • @bobgross8761
    @bobgross8761 Год назад

    If an epic-length song is being created to convey the science of stellar and human evolution, it better be a good one, right? Tuomas was up to the task on this one, for sure, and the band was on their game when performing it. As I've noted before, many of their songs are laced with an unselfishness that is refreshing. I mean, how may 20+ minute performances can you think of without a guitar solo? Or a drum solo? Sure, there's a lengthy keyboard part to start the piece, but it's the perfect (and maybe only) way to introduce the emptiness of pre-big bang space. The Tampere performance is stunning, and my who body chills over every time Floor smiles at the audience as whispers: 'Us, sleeping". The whole thing is magic on many levels, include the grace with which they say goodnight to the audience. Now, having experienced this one, check out the Wembley 2015 version. You'll see Troy join Tuomas in the beginning covering the nice cello part and then his first whistle melody on a guitar with an e-bow. It's a nice variation. You're a great reactor, so please keep on the journey. You mentioned 'newer things'. I'm hoping for 'How's the Heart (acoustic)' and the live version of 'Shoemaker' at Hellfest 2022. Those two might be tissue-worthy. Thanks again, Jynger!

    The title of the issue is taken from a 2009 book by evolutionary biologist and atheist writer Richard Dawkins, about the evidence for biological evolution. Dawkins also contributes to the album. Holopainen explained to HMV in March 2015: "I wrote him a letter a little over a year ago and explained what ideas we had for this album, mainly about evolution. Since one of the songs goes straight to one of his books, it felt like a perfect match to try and recite him on the album. A few weeks later, he sent me an email accepting the invitation."
    "Later in 2014, we recorded his parts at Hats Off Studios, Oxford. This is a huge honor for us, as Dawkins is one of our greatest heroes and his writings have been a huge ins

    Welcome to the "AAoNW club😁😁😍😍Addicts of NW! I saw them live first time in 1996. And I have to apologize my behavior back then, cause I was one of those people, who went to "visit" the parents of Tuomas in his childhood home. If I remember correctly, I was like the only male/guy eating his mothers home made goodies and drinking coffee. But it was way before it all went too crazy. That`s why I still need the Addicts Club😍🤩Best Regards from Finland!

    Yes, that was Enter Sandman.
    A tribute to Metallica of whom Tuomas is a big fan but also eludes to the "Single grain of sand" line in the song.

    I am glad you liked it, and you do a great job. We appreciate you and yes, that was an Enter Sandman riff thrown in there. You know Tuomas started thinking about creating a band while in the United States at a Metallica concert. He then later decided to make that wish in the night happen when he was doing his military service in Finland (they have mandatory service time there) while standing around a fire they had made. Keep rocking JyngerSlapz!

    Its amazing how every verse in this song has a much deeper meaning than you would think. Only until I researched this song line by line, did I fully understand it. After I did, I was in awe of it. You asked about Enter Sandman. That was the end of the tribute he gave to histories music. It started with the tribal drums, then Gregorian chants during his piano solo, we heard some Minuet by Bach, a little techno, then Enter Sandman. This song is filled up with so many things that you will miss unless someone points them out. Its just genius, not to mention the message it sends how lucky we are to have experienced life.

    about Enter Sandman, yeah it was :)
    In this part of song, Tuomas show us the evolution of music. It started by sounds of something like harpsichord, after that some sounds of waltz, after that some sounds of country music, after that something from rock-n-roll, after that Sandman sounds, and after that sounds of pop music. And maybe something else in each interval, I can heard only that :)

    Yes, you are in trouble 😁:
    You are suffering from a condition called Nightwish-itis. Watch out, it's contagious. The symptoms are learning fancy words, singing interesting verses, thinking about catching symphonics and being euFlooric 😁

    Tuomas has always written amazing songs - it just took Floor to add the all important element the other singers seemed to miss for me. Raw humanity. Pure emotion. Emotion that a Nightwish composition deserves. Some of the best metal / music written in my lifetime.
    See you on your next one.
