This is a Nightwish masterpiece for "advanced listeners".🙂 Very demanding and wonderful at the same time. It gets better and better every time you listen to it.

It helps a lot, if you share the interests of Tuomas.

This is what unconstrained genius looks and sounds like. Tuomas is a visionary and he does exactly what he pleases and goes wherever his muse takes him. It's on us to keep up and follow along. That he leaves many behind is no surprise. This... this composition is fucking epic. And it's as deep as the Marianas Trench.

This song grew on me, first few listens I felt like something was off. Now i find myself singing it Love the Idea that our life didn't start with our first breath. It started with our ancestors. Without our ancestors, the million loves.. We are the perfume of the timeless. We should be better, hold our selfs better. Fight to make our ancestors happy Such a beautiful meaning

Sperm Whales? Perfume, Ambergris! We are the distillation of our ancestors dreams.

🔥Something old and something new. 👍🎼Our pride and joy for metal music lovers. The One and only. Nightwish. 💜🤘😈🇫🇮

There were only three shots where CGI was used with the diver: the anglerfish, the whale skeleton and the school of fish at the end. All other diving shots are real. Yes, including the whales.

Sure, the hyena at 6:30, the eagle carrying a deer or owl spinning its head look totally shot for real. And the library shots with band members were practical effects, too, because ghost of Tuomas can make books levitate and Jukka has hands made of smoke. May you should check the documentary series called '"NO CGI" is really just INVISIBLE CGI' here on KZread?

Correct 😊 thanks for saying that. It's from One breath around the world with free diver Guillaume Nery. Once I learned that I went and watched it all, it's not long. Amazing footage.

@@MikkoRantalainen The diver shots are real, from this documentary: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gaKqs8mgqZarqto.htmlsi=pYE9mBT4nr6U6ydt Spoiler alert for the rest: *** *** The hyena is indeed real, but the mountain is not. The eagle is real too, but the deer and landscape are not. The owl is real, but the branch is not, and the head spin is... let's say "slightly enhanced". The book actually **was*** a practical effect, pulled from the shelf with a fishing line. The library shots themselves are also real, and the books, skeletons and other artifacts including the original Darwin's finches from the journey of the HMS Beagle are real museum pieces from the Tring museum of natural history. This said, there are things added to the library shots that are not real, but less than you probably think. PS: "NO CGI" is really just INVISIBLE CGI is easily my favourite series of YT videos in a long while.

It looks like my reply got lost in the digital alternate reality, so i will briefly reply again. I hope this is not a duplicate ;-) The diving shots with free diver Guillaume Nery indeed are real. Onto spoilers... ** ** ** ** Perhaps surprisingly, the hyena is real footage. The mountainside is not. The eagle is also real. The deer and the landscape are not. The Owl is real too, but the head spin is only partially real. The book was a real practical effect shot at the library - oldest trick in tghe book (pun intended), it was pulled from the shelf with a fishing line. The museum library and the specimens, skeletons, books etc. in it are also real, including the priceless original Darwin's finches from the HMS Beagle journey. There are things that are not real that were added, but less than you probably think. PS: "NO CGI" is really just INVISIBLE CGI is easily my favorite series of YT videos in a long while.

Typical Nightwish epicness. Looking forward to the full album in September. Great reaction. Keep up the good work. Greetings from the Nightwish Army (Sydney, Australia Division) 🇦🇺🤘

Thank you ! We are oceanborn , great reaction . Greetings from nwAse Sweden

welcome in the mind of tuomas..seen this video many times now..love it more and more.. it hunts you..

This song is now stuck in my head! ❤️‍🔥

Nightwish with different line ups have always shown her powerful skills in melodies. I am and stay a fan, I love this new song. From Florida

The ups and downs, the pah-pah..pah-pah (A minus - G minus _ B minus - F minus is a leading threat from beginning to end. The choir in the beginning, piano following, in Floor's chorus, in Emppu's rifs, the harp and when Troy sings, the choir picks these notes up again. This is superb composing. Swimming footage is free diving (because you don't use O2-NO2 mix to inhale), free divers can dive as deep as 110 meters and don't have to decompress. Floor is a free diver too. Thanks guys!

Greetings. So let's start with this album being the final book in a 3 part series. The first was "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" released in April 2015, "Human :Ii: Nature" released in April 2020, and "Yesterwynde" to be released in September 2024. The theme of the series is life and evolution. FYI; Tuomas was studying to be a marine biologist before forming Nightwish, and developed a love for it which carried well into the foundation of the band. This is why many of his lyrics hint of waterfalls, seas, oceans, or water in general. Even live, he designs the lighting to give the feeling of being inside the ocean depending on the song. The background visuals are also set to show some type of water scenery. But something tells me Tuomas had a lot of fun coming up with the visuals for this video. Unfortunately, the word is that they're not going to tour in support of this album. Or at least there is no word yet on when they will begin touring again. This actually explains the late album release (Sept. 20). Cool reaction! 👍 Thank you for the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed. 😊❤️🤘🤘

So awesome. Profound song that makes me want to do better as a human. Fulfill some of those ancestors wishes. 😊 Song gets better the more you listen - so much in there. The diver footage is real. NatG has a program with this awesome free diver. Super visuals. I am totally going to search it out.

Tuomas stated they used 3 divers to shoot all of the underwater visuals. hopefully there will be other releases between now and September. All the Best gentlemen.

Brilliant way to start your review; explaining the chorus, the purpose behind “Floor vocally mixed in” helps most better understand Tuomas’ brilliance! We know what to expect from Nightwish and Tuomas, so we should NOT BE SURPRISED, yet I for one was absolutely floored, mind blown again 🤯 There has never been, there will never be another Tuomas Holopainen / Nightwish ❤️‍🔥

Love the composition, it grows on you when hearing it more often. Conclusion so far: love it, all Nightwish characteristics are in there❣️ Love Troy’s contribution at the end! Thanks for your reaction again ❤️

Greetings from Finland 🤩

Please more Nightwish

Amazing free diving...with no fins.

great reaction thank you

Tuomas is the greatest composer of our age.

Tuomas is such a tease. This new album will be food for the soul. September seems so far away. 💙💙💙💙💙

In my opinion the epicness of the video is phenomenal. This story is fascinating - one of the best things they have done. The song fits also… and yes, the message is soo deep, I will need a lot more time to realize all metaphors…

For some reason, without headphones, Floor seems to be more clear in the mix.

A lovely bunch of coconuts is the brand name of Nightwish in their productions.Did you ever watch the video 'NOISE' from them? kzread.info/dash/bejne/fpeuqbWomcW4lZs.html Its about our frigging society nowadays.....

🤗🍒🤘🏻 well done guys

👍👍A very interesting MV. I do miss Marko though. 🖖❤

Epic thought thinking stuff from nightwish

Thomas himself pronounced the “wynde” with a hard “I” sound, like “wind the clock”! Not like the “wind is blowing”.

The owl’s neck is winding anti-clockwise - back in time.

6:21 (this video) - Ghostly nudibranch in the ocean depths reminded me that both Floor & Tuomas have been honored with official scientific biological discoveries. Floor Jansen: The Ophiomitrella floorae: A species of ophiacanthid brittle star lived during the cretaceous period in what is now the Netherlands. Tuomas Holopainen: Sciophila holopaineni . A Fungus gnat - are flies, which feed on dead wood or fungi. Some of the larvae are predaceous. The dark and beautiful gnat thrives in shadowy environments. A great honor for them both considering their love for biology. It would have been amazing to have images included in this video!

Surprisingly many fans have said that they don't like the mix because Floor's vocals are too silent for their taste. You obviously liked the mix at 11:30.

I think they were just a bit too impatient to complain. The earmind can decode the mix after a few listens. Many have said the pieces fit together much better for them now after some time. That was my experience as well.

More Nightwish please! You should react to the studio stuff, it's amazing even if people always recommend only live performances to reactors! I recommend Gethsemane studio version, it's great

All those ancestors are the "curious ghosts" wondering how the family is doing these days. (Wouldn't you be?)

Some probability calculations: Step 1. Probability of boy meeting girl: one in 20,000. Step 2. Probability of same boy knocking up same girl: one in 2000. Step 3. Probability of right sperm meeting right egg: one in 400 quadrillion. Step 4. Now lets assume that you have just those 12 generations of ancestors mentioned in the intro to this song. For the probability of every one of those 12 generations of your ancestors having reproduced successfully with right sperm having met the right egg is 400 quadrillion to the 12th power. Given these 4 steps, the probability of you being born you at the present moment is 20k x 2k x 400 quadrillion to the 13th power. Going backwards in time with even more generations of your ancestors, we soon reach a probability of 1 divided by the number of atoms in the entire universe. This makes each one of us a unique miracle.

Thankfully the Perfume of the Timeless is not flatulence.

Nightwish - Amazing! Would have been a better review without Captain Obvious’ remarks.

Juka the best drummer

Many will only suggest live as it is more likely to be Floor singing as fewer recordings of Tarja live and virtually none of Anette live is worth listening to.

We are a part of something - what was before is & what will be. How life has evolved to survive. WE WERE HERE. TGSOE: "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?" [- Professor Richard Dawkins]

🐕just saw Sabaton live in Albany so try Sabaton lady of the dark animated story video

This album is Part 3 of the Dawkins trilogy.

Evolution of the human species. Life came out of the water and the last 2 minutes are how we've beggered this Earth up.

As soon as Floor ended singing, you stopped listening and started to comment the video. Really disappointed.
