Thank you for spreading the message that this song brings. Nightwish changing minds and hearts one person at a time. Everyone on this planet needs to see this masterpiece. Then maybe they will realize that we are all in this together. Flying a rock through space with too little regard for how fragile it is. Unfortunately, mankind is still working on the civilized part.

Not only see and listen, the most difficult part of it, is undestanding it, where we came from and how long ago our story begins, as humans and where we are going. That doesent look bright, or maybe few big flashes, and we are all gone.As in lyrics say, those mushroom shaped clouds, used only twice against people, but we dont know, when we see those again, and it`s going to be last what we see, lots of clouds, mushroom shaped, and then ????

Love it when two intelligent persons reacts to this performance

Great reaction guys! You were wondering who Lucy was. Well Lucy is a 3.2 million-year old fossil skeleton of a human ancestor, infact it's currently the oldest human ancestor specimen ever found, and was discovered in 1974 in Hadar, in the Afar region, Ethiopia. That's where the line "Little Lucy Of The Afar", in the song refers to.

The GsoE is the last song in Nightwish's 2015 album "Endless Forms Most Beautiful". This album is one of a trilogy, although it didn't start out that way. Tuomas Holopainen (NW keyboardist, lyricists, poet, composer...) felt he had more to say on the topic of humans, nature and music. But he didn't know how to proceed. After the EFMB concert tour ended, Nightwish took a sabbatical to pursue their personal projects, relax and refresh. At that point, Tuomas, his wife Johanna Kurkela, and NW's multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Troy Donockley started working on their joint project entitled "Auri". While composing and writing the music, Tuomas became inspired and found his path of continuing the subject matter of the EFMB album. Thus sprang the second album entitled Human :||: Nature which was released during Covid. When the world opened up again after Covid, the band toured the H:||N album. By then, Tuomas had already written the third album of the triology. During the tour, the band worked on massaging the music and the lyrics. In Fall 2023, the band recorded the album and it will be released sometime in 2024. Nightwish has hung their spurs for an indeterminate time and are on sabbatical. They decided not to tour the 3rd album of which the title has not been released yet to my knowledge. Anyways, there are gorgeous songs in the 2015 Endless Forms Most Beautiful album and I highly recommend a listen to all of them. As for the Human :||: Nature album, it comes with two discs. The first disc is the band (Human) playing and singing. The second disc is an orchestral piece written by Tuomas as his love letter to Nature. It is about 30 minutes long and absolutely gorgeous. You'll only hear Floor vocalizing and Troy's bagpipes and flutes, along with the orchestra. Tuomas & Nightwish approved a fan video for the 2nd disc which most reactors use instead of the official lyric video because the video matches the music perfectly: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hKKDxrNuh7HAes4.html. Please keep the NW reactions coming. I enjoyed listening to both of you! Cheers!

This might be my favourite song of all time.. the song just keeps going. 😂😂

Hi guys, your reaction was so enjoyable 😊 on one side your absolut excitement to show this masterpiece of a composition to your friend and the pure joy of your friend to expirience this for the first time. I loved it! Well done!

a blunt😂😂 You don't need it, listening to this master piece. Your face says it all. Love from Holland, land of Floor and giants☺

I am so impressed by your reaction. You are one of the few who understand the exceptional story that is told by them. There are others who can tell you about the things that are hidden in the music itself. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

Greetings from Finland! Followed your channel a long time and always enjoyed your presence. Your Brother is awesome. I love to see and hear his reactions too, this is awesome ❤😂

What a great reaction guys. Seeing your joy sharing this to your friend is almost bringing me to tears ....like kids on their journey of discivery themselves. Lots of thanks from Switzerland 🤘🏽🔥

Bro! You have been growing as a person over your journey with Nightwish, let me tell you that! I followed all your reactions and from one to the other one could see your buildtup in personality. And that is what Nightwish did and does with all of us. I have to say thank you, thank Nightwish and - not to forget Floor, that human standing above all other singers I know. Keep on rocking man!

haha thanks but I have almost 3,000 videos and only about 10 videos for Nightwish as i only recently started. My personality has been growing since I started creating content 3 years ago. I owe credit to all the artists I have discovered including Nightwish

Just found you…loved the reaction! You have discovered the beauty and complexity that is Nightwish with our beloved Metal Goddess Floor and our Metal Mozart Tuomas (keyboardist) who writes most of Nightwish’s music! The whole band from Emppu (Guitarist), Troy (pipes), Kai (drummer), Marco (bassist) …although Marco is on a break from the band…I have loved all of the lineups of this band that has been around since the’90s. Welcome to the Nightwish Army! Subscribed for your journey down this rabbit hole…Nightwish Army, Alaska US Division

Just ONE of their amazing songs 😊. Great reaction!

I love the line, "Not a single one of your fathers died young." What are the odds that _none_ of your tens of thousands of ancestors died young, but lived long enough to keep their genes moving through the species? You wouldn't be here at all without that streak of luck.

🔥☺️‼️❤️. Another winning dual reaction..please keep them coming ☺️

This, without any doubt, is THE most important song of mankind of all times. It makes you concious of who you are, and the place you are in. And our place in this world. This should be played at the opening ceremony of every new semester at highschools and or universities. It is a masterpiece that surpasses Mozart, Beethoven and all of that. It is the ultimate song about us people. Amen.

Just starting this, so I'll probably have more to say later. But just wanted to say, Tuomas is a huge Hans Zimmer fan, so no surprise that you picked up on that.

Merci pour votre enthousiasme , le temps que vous passez à comprendre le sens profond de cette extraordinaire chanson. Cela est un réel plaisir de regarder vos réactions en général... donc merci encore . un fan Français!

Great reaction guys, one of the best I've seen to this absolutely wonderful song!!! And Mr Dawkins at the end is just the cherry on top of the Nightwish cake!!

Great explanation also to your friend I liked it very much you got the story right and told it in a very nice way great work from you and the Band!!! greetings from the Netherlands

wonderful reaction thanks from Colorado. carry on

This was one of the best reactions I've seen of this song, if now even the best one. I really enjoyed of it. Thank's guys.

Awesome, I love that you had to show this to your bro, and I love the enthusiasm and passion that you both conveyed - amazing guys, thanks for doing this 🤘🤘🤘

Thank you for this. It‘s my new favorite reaction of this monumental song. Greetings from Germany 🤘🔥🫶

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 honour for us, as Dawkins is one of our greatest heroes and his writings have been a huge inspiration for the album."

thank you guys. i have seen many reactions on this epic song. but yurs is the best by far i've seen. i wish you all the best on your journy through the world of music 🤘🖤🖤🖤

curiosità: c'è anche l'evoluzione della musica in piccole parti , prima del pezzetto di Enter Sandman dei Metallica ( che è il più facile da intuire)ci sono molti altri riferimenti a opere musicali. In ordine di apparizione: canti dei monaci asiatici, "Dies Irae" una melodia gregoriana del Medioevo, Bach, che è poi seguito dal tema del Preludio e Fuga in re minore, poi Enter Sandman e dopo alcuni battiti di danza / techno. È essenzialmente un millennio di evoluzione musicale compressa in pochi minuti.

👍Hey guys,this was so much fun to watch you 2 enjoying this epic song so much.Very well done ,with some explanation to the text,but, you still missed some things at the end with little references to music history. I give you 1 that almost everybody missed ,at the end(with all the traffic in the background video) "Koyaanisqatsi" ,look that up and you understand. There are lot's of hidden treasures in this master piece. Guys,have a nice christmas and a h(e)a(v) pp y new year.🤘🎄 ( And yes ,you'r right ; The Truth Hurts 😉 )

We call Tuomas, the Keyboardist and Composer, as the "Metal Mozart"!!!

Such a great song, and such a great reaction video! Taking the text sentence by sentence and trying to find out what it means. You did a great job. Thx guys, I really enjoyed this reaction and I certainly come back for more. Cheers

Greetings from Holland. Love your reaction aspecially the joy you have to share this mindblowing masterpiece with your friend! Truly in my mind the best composed musical adventure by Tuomas!!! I am 67 and I discovered Nightwish a few years ago. I am not going to sleep before listening to some of their songs/stories. They keep me amased every time!!!

Ty for God of gaps info. U filled in understanding I was missing

You are just amazing in your knowledge and ability to analyze Nightwish text

Always awesome. Everytime. You can look up all the info / Easter eggs Tuomas included in the song. It's brilliant.

Hi,Guys, nice reaction to this masterpiece :) . I think you missed the tribute to Metallica at the end, when you saw the monitors in the back showing the wars, and after that the techno music started for a little , to show another era in the music . I listen to that song may be 50 60 and more times, almost every time i found something new in it, hidden . Greetings from Bulgaria

I loved, loved your reaction to this amazing performance with your guest. I am not sure if you have seen the spectacular performance of this song at the concert at Tampere, i hope you will react to this one, maybe with another guest? Really i mean it, for me the best reaction ever to this performance. Thanks, see you at the next one, bye!!!!!!

🇬🇧 Norfolk reports for duty strapped in for your journey 😊

Probably the most educational album is the latest album Human II Nature where every song covers a different aspect of the Earth's and mans development. Worth watching with the lyric videos.

Ready to see that Floor-Gasm!

Very nice reaction, thank you Very much! Greatings from the Netherlands. Geert/Ggggggeert😊

I really enjoyed this reaction :)

Hey guys!!!!! Thanks. At the begining Floor says "enter LUCA" last universal commun ancester. And LUCY is the oldest human rest fiunded. The paleontologist who finded this was listening "Lucy in the sky with diamonds. The Beatles song. Good reaction. Thanks. Greettings from Argentina. Sorry for my English

Thanks for the fantastic reaction! Best idea for im would be to see the whole Wacken 2013 concert, its one of the top 5 concerts of all time! Nightwish at its best und Floor Jansen with an unbelievable voice performance over 2 hours! They did a DVD called "Showtime, Storytime" from this concert!

Enjoyed your reaction very much! Thank you!

Yessss my favorite version👍👍🙏

What a great reaction,to awesome song thx

From the evolution of the universe, to the evolution of life, to the evolution of society. Such an ambitious song. And like Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins helps people realize that science, knowledge, can also be spiritually fulfilling, and awe inspiring. I like how you broke it down. Lucy is the oldest find we have that shows a transition to walking on two legs, a fossil with both chimp and human characteristics. And ratkind refers to the idea that humans ultimately evolved from something that was much akin to a rat. So when we wipe ourselves off the planet, there is a chance that the rats will inherit the earth

Lucy (Australopithecus afarensis) is not the oldest human remain we've found but she's the most famous one. She was discovered in Ethiopia 1974 and she lived 3.2 million years ago and are a mix between human and other ape. She was about a meter high and looked a lot like they non human apes but she had more human-like spine, knees and pelvis due to walking upright. She's seen as one of our human ancestors. Humans closest relatives are Bonobos and Chimpanzees. 🤓🇸🇪

Love you both ❤

If your friend doesn't know who Sabaton are put him on front of some of their songs and he'll get his history lesson😁. 🤓🇸🇪

Your joy at the end said it all. We are here.

Very beautiful

"the will to do as you'd been done by" is not revenge, but Kant (German philosopher) - he speaks about actually quite the opposite ;-)

”Enter Sandman” …so many meanings. Tuomas found the love for metal when he was taken to a Metallica gig and Neil Gaiman (author of Sandman) is one his favourite writers.

Great review man 😎👍

There is a little lucy with nightwish now❤she gave birth to a daughter🎉

So nice reaction, thank you!

Peace and love from Austria 🤟❤️🤟

great reaction! Welcome to the NW Army!

Great reaction. To put the icing on the cake: Enter Ionia refers to the area around the ionic sea. We are talking: Plato, Socrates, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius... And the book this song was named after...The Greatest Show on Earth by Richard Dawkins...about the evolution of man and how God played no part in it.

Well done gentlemen.

This song is deep! So is your knowlegde, Keep it real!

aaaand live at Tampere thank you...

"Sahara" live at Tampa Fla. Fantastica.

Most people who react to this song. Have no idea what it is about. I my self have a interpretation for my self, but you my friend spoke about it with passion and great understanding of it. Keep doing what you are doing its refreshing to actually see people who appreciate art. Nightwish is a but a small band in the grand scheme of things and it should be so much bigger then it is. Floor is a GODDES amongst musicians highly underrated and unknown, and is such a damn shame in the grand scheme of the music industry. I see u've already reacted to some other musicians from the pantheon of music gods like Dimash and Ren so i'll bid you farewell on your journey trough this wonderful rabbit holes. You should check Lara Fabian if you have time. She is one of Dimash's inspirations and she is a great musician in her own right.

A wild ride my friends.

Excelente! 💚

In the last part you hear the evolving of music. From gregorian to mozart to edm and enter the sandman. As for viewing you see the evolving in dancing. Heheheh you missed both . 😁😁😁 but next time you hear it and see it.😄

We are just temporary guests on this beautiful planet, intelligent but destructive. Earth will go on without us, but we WERE HERE for a short time in Earth's history.🥰

This is a great live version of this song for sure. Love it & thanks for bringing a friend! Also, if you get the chance, there's another live version: Live in Tampere 2015 The Greatest Show On Earth which is also well worth checking out. Slightly different arrangement in the beginning which I absolutely love.

🤘🏽🇫🇮🇫🇮🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

Great reaction from you🤘🇫🇮

Hi, do you know there is a video of this song and there is a firework display behind them in time to the music,,?

Hi Quofy great reaction, thanks for introducing your friend. I watched an interview with Troy and Tuomas, Troy was saying god is basically a story made up and for some reason carried on, he mentioned Santa and the tooth fairy who you don't believe in when you grow up but for some reason God is carried on. I'm an atheist so really agree with this view point. No disrespect to anyone who believes in God I do respect your beliefs. Excellent song excellent band. You should try the Tampere version the intro is different it's stunning🇬🇧

Nightwish is well loved in the science community. Multiple scientific discoveries were named after the band members and songs.

Loved the reaction 😀 you should check out the live at Tampere version. It’s the superior one in my opinion (except it’s missing the live appearance of me Dawkins).

❤❤👏👏🇫🇮

🤘😁💙🇫🇮🪄🎼✨💯👍 ❄️🎄☃️✨

Great reaction. You just miss a lot when not watching the live at Tampere version.

"Pulls the newborns around the fire" newly formed planets being pulled into orbit around the sun? "Cold dark vastness" space? This is what I'm getting from these lyrics

Maybe it's time to meet 5 beautiful ladies in high heels and dresses playing classic heavy metal? For starters, I recommend the song Break the Wall from their earlier albums. Boasting over 70 hit singles, they won Best New Metal Band at the Metal Hammer Awards in 2018. The girls play heavy, thrash, power and prog metal, they also have some beautiful ballads. Break the wall kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z4SXkrqEYM-0nbg.html or Nameless warrior kzread.info/dash/bejne/dqBmm9aieqbIfrA.html

Nightwish Army south Brittany France reporting. "We Were Here", yes, I was there. Great reaction, I hope you listen again, now to make it a race thing. I've seen a lot of black reactions to Nightwish, sometimes it feels that it's just a a way to get likes, but you really seemed to enjoy that, and obviously doing research understood what it was about. But look at the Nightwish (Epica, Ayreon and more) audience, it's white, so where are the black bands doing any genre of metal, they must exist, so where are the black reactors promoting them? Metal, like pop, rap, soul, rock, etc, shouldn't be limited to one race. Subscription added, keep up the good work. Enter Luca Enter Life Enter the god of gaps Enter Ionia Enter History Enter Ratkind Enter Sandman

good version for the second listening. a much better first time version was the Tampere concert

The god of gaps basicly refers to theology/religion as a whole. All of it/them.

kinda funny listening with headphones playing on my phone than realize im listening to Nightwish with a couple black fellas moaning over it. lol merry christmas yall. Love this song.
