Tuomas is obviously Stark, the science nerd/planner doing most of the songwriting Marko has to be Hulk, contributing to the songwriting behind the scenes and transforming into a beast on stage Empu is Spiderman or Antman, always the group's clown, always goofing around, but when required bringing some serious power to the front. Troy is Vision, soft-spoken and versatile, able to fulfil any role. Kai is Captain America, keeping the group/music together with his beat, he can keep it up all day. And Floor is Thor Odinson, went through depression to find out that she is still worthy, she can bring the thunder, a giant amongst mortals, a true goddess in our midst.

You just missed the usage of "Awe" Tuomas loves. Also, lovely "rant," my friend.

Way, way late, but if anyone's interested, some context/info for some of the lyrics from a science-y point of view. I can't express how incredible and meaningful it is to me that Endless Forms, as an album, exists. I'm a geneticist by education, and have been a fan of Nightwish for well over a decade. Be aware, there's a novella ahead. Because of course there's a lot of references. It's quite possible (even probable) I missed some. - archaean horizon - archaea are single-celled organisms which lack nuclei. Ancient, everywhere, and essential to life. - gaea - aside from the obvious definition, it's worth noting that Pangaea is the name of the last of Earth's supercontinents, formed by the collision of several other continents. - hundred million years - Earth is way, way older than a billion years. It's closer to 4.5 billion. But! Some "first life" estimates peg the first living organisms to be around 3.5 billion years ago (or in other words, when Earth was 1 billion years old). - carbon feast - all life on earth is carbon-based. It makes up a significant portion of our biology. Other forms are theoretically possible, with silicon-based being most likely, but no evidence of anything other than carbon-based has actually been found. And a tidbit for later, incidental or not - silicon is the main component of sand. - Luca = "last universal common ancestor". Exactly what it sounds like. Not to be confused with first life, LUCA is the group or species of organisms from which all extant (living) species are descended. - writing in the garden - I can only imagine this to be a reference to phylogenetic trees. They're a visual representation of species evolution over time, and as the name would suggest, the branching structure looks very much like a tree. - Devonian sea - the Devonion is the time when terrestrial life first exploded on Earth. Massive, rapid evolution of new species. - Ion channel - found in cell membranes, they control what goes in and out of cells. Particularly important from a neurological standpoint. They form a critical part of not just our nervous system, but musclar and cardiovascular too. - travellers out of Africa - an obvious one, I know. Modern man's ancestors lived in Africa, and spread across the globe from there. How and when is still debated. - Lucy - a very famous partial skeleton of a female from an ancient species of humanoids, Australopithecus afarensis (hence "of the afar"). She was a biped, meaning she walked on two feet. Bipedalism was one of the "early" human traits to evolve, before large brains and stone tools - or, idolatry and weaponry. - Ionia - an ancient Greek region. The basis of a school of philosophy which sought to explain the world using non-supernatural laws.

a Word for Word this Masterpiece: [ Part 1: Four Point Six] (age of The Earth) "Archaean horizon, The first sunrise" Earth's history is divided into four principal Eons: the Hadean, the Archean, Proterozoic, and the Phanerozoic. The Hadean is the Eon during which the Earth and Moon formed; in the Archaean, primordial life appeared. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Earth) "On a pristine gaea" Gaia is the primordial Greek goddess of the Earth. More recently, the Gaia hypothesis is a recognition of the living and nonliving Earth systems which form an interdependent whole. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…) "Opus perfectum, Somewhere there, us sleeping" Pristine perfection (of silence, of a blank page, of the very point from which the big bang itself sprung) implies a rich creative potential. Here Earth is painted in the same powerful way. Diversity awaits; unborn beings are sleeping the same sleep to which they will return at death. This interpretation is thematically linked with the album's opening track, "Shudder before the Beautiful," which includes the lyrics, "The music of this awe, Deep silence between the notes, Deafens me with endless love." Or as the furious hobbit screamed at the novice trumpeter, "An artist respects the silence, it serves as the foundation of creativity." (youtu.be/…) [Part 2: 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" Gravity pulls the Earth and its inhabitants around the energizing Sun in an otherwise inhospitable universe. Earth is the only planet in our solar system's circumstellar habitable zone, orbiting at the "just right, not too hot, not too cold" distance from the Sun. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…) "She has a tale to tell, From the stellar nursery into a carbon feast, Enter LUCA" In astronomy, stellar nurseries are the birthplaces of stars: they nurse stars (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…). Poetically, our solar system is another "stellar nursery," in which a star is the nurse, caring for and warming a planet of 'newborns,' early carbon-based life. "Feast" evokes the incorporation of plentiful chemical building blocks into rudimentary life forms. "LUCA" stands for "Last universal common ancestor," the one single organism from which all other presently existing life on Earth descended. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…) "The tapestry of chemistry is a writing in the garden, Leading us to the mother of all" The periodic table of elements does look like a sort of patchwork tapestry, but this can go further. The historical function of tapestries was as "nomadic murals," pictographical histories which moving people could pack up and revisit wherever they went. The "writing in the garden," in nature, is not only the stone murals left by dead animals in the form of fossils, but is also this chemical writing that encodes the relatively nomadic DNA molecule with the instructions for life. The scientific investigation of this information leads us back to LUCA, and further. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…) "We are one, We are a universe," This is the natural conclusion to draw from the fact that life shares common origin, that all life is built with the same blocks, and that all life on Earth is interdependent (gaia hypothesis). The multiplicity of beings on Earth are one, just as the cells in a body are one. "Forebears of what will be Scions of the Devonian sea." The Devonian geologic time period marked the first significant, rapid diversification of life (and the more well-known Cambrian explosion is another of these 'adaptive radiation' events). It was during the Devonian that the 'higher plants' appeared and blanketed the continents with forests. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…). The word "scion" refers to a shoot of a plant cut for grafting, and is also used to denote a descendent of a notable family. Both meanings apply. "Aeons pass, Writing the tale of us all. A day-to-day new opening For the greatest show on Earth" Evolutionary adaptation is written in the DNA and as fossils in the rocks, and is ongoing. Species die, diversifiy and delineate. Every day is different, every day something changes. "Ion channels welcoming the outside world To the stuff of stars" Ion channels are found in the membranes of all cells, controlling the flow of energy through the cells. The stuff of stars is all the physical matter we're made of. So it's the ion channels, guiding enery, which allow living bodies to interact with the rest of the world by exchanging energy with it. "Stuff of stars" is surely a Sagan reference: "The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff." (For fun: youtu.be/…) "Bedding the tree of a biological holy, Enter life" The bed of a tree is the nutrient-rich soil from which it grows, a soil made of dead things. The "tree of a biological holy" is probably the tree of life (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…). This line refers to the "holy" legendary tree of everlasting life but also means the conceptual, branching family tree of all life, whose bed consists of all deceased beings (in a more literal sense), or all extinct ancestral species (in a more abstract sense). This is thematically linked with the song "Alpenglow." "We are here to care for the garden, The wonder of birth Of every form most beautiful" "We" could be human beings tasked with acting as nature's stewards, garden of eden style, but that's not chronological -- human beings haven't quite appeared in the song yet. "We" could instead be all of life itself, in a gaia-philosophy sense, which posits that life creates environments ever more hospitable to more life. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…) Or maybe it's a combination of these two thoughts: life eventually creates an environment suitable for the development of consiously acting, thinking human stewards. [Part 3: The Toolmaker] "After a billion years, The show is still here. Not a single one of your fathers died young." Every single one of a given person's ancestors, male and female, lived past puberty at least. But "fathers" evokes "forefathers," which has a nicer storytelling ring to it than "parents." "The handy travelers Out of Africa Little Lucy of the Afar" Handymen are good with tools; travelers posessing hands rather than forefeet walk upright. Hominids originated in Africa and spread to the rest of the world from there. Lucy is a particular specimen of the Australopithecus, one of many "missing links" between modern humans and nonhuman ancestors. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…) "Gave birth to fantasy, To idolatry, To self-destructive weaponry. Enter the God of gaps Deep within the past. Atavistic dread of the hunted!" The brain grows, consciousness and creativity along with it. Atavism is the tendency to revert to ancestral type, an evolutionary throwback. Fight-or-flight instincts that helped human ancestors survive have now been creatively projected onto the world to both explain it (origins, meaning, suffering) and gain security in it (bargaining through sacrifice). These are the roots of theism. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…) "Enter Ionia, the cradle of thought, The architecture of understanding. The human lust to feel so exceptional, To rule the Earth" Nomadic people develop agriculture and settle down into civilizations. The word "architecture" is at once both literal and figurative. The efficiency of civilization graces people with free time to do more than just feed themselves. They develop rich cultural traditions, arts and philosophies, much of which are deeply influenced by how different humans now are from all the rest of life. "Hunger for shiny rocks, For giant mushroom clouds, The will to do as you'd be done by." Shiny rocks are wealth: gold, precious stones, jewels, and later uranium which leads to the nuclear arms race. The golden rule -- "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" -- is a coin with a dark side: "an eye for an eye," revenge. This ensures the "MAD"ness of mutually assured destruction. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…) "Enter history, the grand finale. Enter ratkind." "Ratkind" comes from Richard Dawkins' book "The Ancestor's Tale." Dawkins imagines a post-apocalyptic world in which rodents feast on the remnants of humanity (and humanity's garbage). The rat population explodes, and then as they exhaust these resources they turn on one another for food. As a consequence of natural selection, the rats diverge into new carnivorous and herbivorous species, and perhaps, eventually, a specices of rodent whose intelligence rivals that of humans. This is "ratkind." (iberianature.com/wildworld/tag/ratkind/) "Man, he took his time in the sun, Had a dream to understand A single grain of sand." From William Blake: "To see a World in a Grain of Sand, And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour." ...And the story of the planet in 24 minutes. Not bad. "He gave birth to poetry, But one day'll cease to be. Greet the last light of the library" A bittersweet redundancy: poetry with library, the last light with ceasing to be. Reminiscent of Elan: "Be the first to greet the morn [...] Travel with great élan, dance a jig at the funeral." "We were here!"

There are so many “hidden gems” that Tuomas included in the lyrics & the music. 31:35 The History of Music - 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 - Darude - Sandstorm.

Most bands have a songwriter... Nightwish has a Composer !!!!! The fireworks were pre-suspended by clear, tethered helium baloons, and then radio detonated on command.

I think I've watched interview where Thoumas said he at first was very afraid of mistakes and he wanted his concerts to be perfect, but then he understood that mittle slips are just like life, unpredictable, it gives character and uniqueness for that specific performance and that it reminds everyone he is only human

The period between the first time she sings "the last light of the library" and the moment the lyrics kick back in is meant to tell the history of music. It's hard to tell in this version, but the ones you can hear evolve from primal drums to Bach to banjos to Metallica and end on an EDM beat, however there are a ton of pieces layered on top of each other, which tell the history of music. A true masterclass in songwriting in my opinion.

I love this song for things like this, paired with their heavy use of motifs. The 'We were here' segment uses the piano motif from the very beginning, the orchestral section afterwards uses the solo melody from 'Sagan', then the final bit afterwards uses an orchestral version of the first chorus of the song, the 'we are one' section, representing life. It all tells a story that humanity perishes in chaos not unlike that of creation, is (possibly) mourned from the starts, before life begins anew once more. I highly recommend the studio version, which has an extra bit after the ending narration that strongly implies the existence of something else making a fire or working on tools.

@@deadohiosky1701 Thinking back a decade, I still I know I did something right in the process of introducing my mother to their music, when she shrieked NOOOO! into my ear during the blade's strike in Poet and the Pendulum during our first time live. Also when I meant her to watch this particular performance for the first time(she hadn't heard the "song" yet) without giving any warning what this would be, she looked at the first video frame that's a shot of the stage only, without seeing the title and then at me and said "Hold on. If this is what I think it is, I need to go to the loo. Get me tissues and a glass of water while we're at it." XD

Chuckled 🤭 Such true words.

Ladies and gentleman, it's official, we have the greatest reaction on youtube for "The Greatest Show on Earth". Chase, first of all, thanks for these amazing videos you do! It's being awesome to follow your Nightwish journey. Second, I want to suggest you something that I believe will also blow your mind. Using your own words, it will be something like the metal version of the Avengers. Let me explain better: what I'm about to recommend it's not really a band, but a conceptual project created by the dutchman mastermind Arjen Lucassen (composer, multi-instrumentalist, singer, producer, etc). In each of the albums, he invites the greatest singers and musicians to join him in creating something unique and exceptional. Just to prove I'm not lying, I have to mention that Floor and Marko from Nightwish are usual guests. The albums are in their majority telling a story where each singer plays a character and each song is a piece of the whole. There's so many masterpieces of Ayreon that is really a difficult task pick only one to introduce them to you, but a song that represents very well the concept and quality of their work is "The day that the world breaks down". This song features 11 singers (Floor included) and Arjen himself not only played guitar, bass and synthesizers, but also put some nice subtitles talking a bit about each one of the guests, the recording process and the song story. Ok, enough talking, here's the link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oXqpr62dot22obg.html Hope you read my comment, and hope even more that you accept this suggestion. I'm pretty sure you're going to enjoy it as much as I will enjoy to watch a Chase Carneson's react to one of my favorite "bands". Greetings from Brazil! 🇧🇷🤘

I don't know if you already pointed it out, but what i really like is seeing Emppu. Unlike most guitarist of other bands he never tries to put himself in front. He really is skilled and could act as a rockstar or try to shine for himself but he puts all his skills and energy for the compositions, for the musicality. And he never fails. He deserves more credit for that.

When you know you're just *that* good there is no need for narcissism. Emppu will give you exactly what you need. If you need a soul filled, melodic solo like GLC he'll give it to you. You need a face-melting, super technical power solo like in Romanticide, that's what you'll get. Emppu *is* pretty well regarded and still one of the most underrated Guitarists of our time... That says quite a bit.

I saw Nightwish in a small theater, maybe 500 people. No pyrotechnics, just the back screen. The music and their stage presence made it the best show I've ever seen. Floor and Marko take control of the stage from the moment they come on. I was so stunned, almost overwhelmed! I need to see them again!

I first watched this about 36 hours ago, and have honestly been trying to find the words for how this analysis is an absolute masterpiece, and how truly lucky I feel for having found it. Though my mom is classically trained and music was a big part of my life growing up, I can’t carry a tune in a bucket and the only instrument I play is air guitar. What’s so brilliant about watching this, learning from both your analytical ability and clear love of music, I feel like I earned a PhD in both mechanics and emotion. Watching reaction videos, especially to Nightwish, is kind of my happy place. I do it a lot. This isn’t just a reaction video, it’s a master class, and it truly brought me to tears and made this phenomenal performance all the more moving and meaningful. I honestly can’t praise you highly enough for your work here. Thank you so, so much for this. I’m truly changed by your magnificent video.

When they sing the 'we were here' part, it's such a powerful moment. The song talks about how we have been here for a blink of an eye, and will likely be gone in a similar time span, the only thing we can do is shout to the heavens that we were here. What will be left of us in a few million years? Possibly only hints that we once existed. We were here.

Great reaction!! Understandably, you focused mostly on the musical nuances and thats great because that is truly where you shine! Let me fill you in on some of the thematic points which will really help you appreciate this better the next time you listen to it. Intro: The beginning is when the earth is forming. Tuomas' beautiful piano melody has an endless repetition of 6 notes (Carbon?) which eventually form longer and longer chains of notes (proteins/DNA). Then Floor's vocals ive always thought of as a siren song calling things together (gravity). Then when the song "begins" as you said, that is the first life form which quickly evolves. Then, when things get dark and creepy, it's the extinction event which killed out the dinosaurs allowing mamals and mankind to evolve. The tribal part is the first man (all mankind is theorized to have migrated from Africa BTW). Then the pause (you can hear BACH)and sudden explosion is the industrial revolution. You quickly start to hearing robotic noises, followed by the Metallica riff, followed by heavy bass (easier to hear in the studio version). The final explosion is our demise "enter ratkind". When you take the fact that they were able to put the chronological life of the Earth and all life to a brilliant musical interpretation just makes Tuomas that much more impressive!!! Again, thank you for this experience!

I am literally fighting back tears. Why? I just can’t explain it. A combination of loving this song so much and appreciating the reaction and comments, my goodness. 4 hours last night of watching your reactions and now I’m in another hour so far this morning. I can’t get anything done! Overwhelmed in the BEST way.

It is sooo much fun to hear and see someone experiencing this song for the first time, especially when it’s someone like you who knows what he’s talking about and giving such essential and right information. I think a lot of us from the Nightwish army felt like you the first time, and still 😄 Thank you so much again 🙏🏻

You did spectacular in analysing one of NW's most complex songs on your first listen. We were here! On the live chat at Chase Carneson's channel!

The best "reaction" I've ever seen to this song. It's much more than a simple reaction, I truly feel like I learn something when I watch your videos lol. Very spot on when you talked about the "hopeful" melodies, that's exactly what I thought when I listened to around 13:44, when he says "sparkling with color, boundful with life" I always felt the melody sounded so cheerful for a few seconds. Also when he finally talks about understanding how we *woke up* in the universe and the song explodes in our ears, kinda waking us up, it's Genius!!

"The drummer, he's a human metronome" Oh, if you'd only know... His name is Kai Hahto. You should check out his stuff with Wintersun, and KZread is full of his performances with drums. Undoubtedly one of the absolute best drummers of all time. P.s. 33:00 yes that's Enter Sandman, and that's just Emppu being Emppu, fooling around cuz he can 😆

Chase should do the entire Human Nature album, start to finish in a 10-piece Nightwish extravaganza. Every single song on that album are available as lyrics videos or music videos and every one of them will blow his mind. Chase, pleeeeeease do Human Nature, all songs.

I adored your reaction to this, both your emotional and professional opinions were fantastic. Nightwish does not ever cease to amaze, their musical talent, humanity, and, the respect and mastery of their craft is unrivalled.... The fact they can play a 21min song that clearly requires so much emotional and physical energy, at the end of a show that's filled with songs that all require huge investments in energy, is mindblowing to me....

I think the most incredible thing about Nightwish is that nothing is done without purpose. Every single note has a reason and even down to floors costume, the decals on the drums and fireworks are all done for a specific reason

Chase you are the one that makes me understand why I am so obsessed with the way Nightwish performs and captures the audience

"We are here to Care for the Garden" agree beautiful lyric. Stunning analysis as usual

If this didn't leave you satisfied, I dunno what would. To make it short: I listened to this very song by chance at Fortarock 2018 in the Netherlands and at the end there I was left: sobbing and crying my eyes out for all the emotions, for all the meaning in what Dawkins said. In the end I decided to have that song to be played at my very own funeral, because I dare to say: I was here!

From the "Man, he took his time in the Sun, had a dream to understand, every single Grin of Sand" over the "We were here" to the Dawkins Part about "us the Lucky Ones" is always making me cry really hard. It's so emotional to think about it. "We're here in the Garden for just a few decades to spent our time in the sun, yet we gave birth to so many things like Poetry and we try to understand a single grain of Sand because we feel so exceptional to rule the earth. But our Search for shiny rocks and giant Mushroomclouds leads us from 'Mankind' to 'Ratkind' and even if humanity isn't around anymore in a few centuries, we do everything we can and scream as loud as we can "WE WERE HERE!!", did you hear that Lifeforms out there in the Universe? "WE WERE HERE!! WE LIVED OUR LIVES!! We will not be forgotten when we cease the last Light of the Library... Remeber us! We, the Mankind, were here!" because we'd won the lottery of birth against all odds." When you feel these emotions while writing a song, it catches people like me by a mile.

"We were here" is probably one of the biggest, most epic endings to a live performance I've ever seen. It just pulls you upwards with the band, and that grin of yours when it hit...I'm largely made of stone, but I did exactly the same thing. Brilliant.

Thank you, Chase, for this awesome reaction. As you said, this is not just a song. This is a musical experience. This should be displayed on tv's all over the world, at least, once a week, so humans could get the message and behave acordingly. Have a damn good weekend.

Dude, you absolutely nailed this reaction. After watching and listening a few times, everything falls into place. The quiet, eerie start represents the cold emptiness of space until it hits the first fireworks, representing the big bang and the chaos that ensues. This then calms down again as the planets all settle into their orbits around their stars... and then on earth, the first signs of life appear to be forming, from which the planet explodes into life. It is indeed like a mini musical rather than a standard song. It's the most genius piece of art I think I've encountered. This is a musical representation of our history in the universe to date... just brilliant. As you said, there's light and dark, happy and sad, fast and slow - he's used the complete pallet. I'm so glad you discovered this band and chose to react to it. I could sit down with you and enjoy a good few pints, putting the world to rights. Bless you Chase. Have a great day.

I like your reactions so much. You don’t miss the smallest detail in a song. It is a pleasure to watch your reactions! Thank you!

I love how they are all smiling at the end - Real, genuine smiles. You can tell the 'outlanders' Floor and Troy are welcome and loved, and integral to Nightwish. Nightwish hasn't been as 'healthy' mentally as a band in a LONG time. It is promising for the future.

But, like Nightwish, you set the Gold Standard. "I'm out of Africa. Jus' sayin'". That's the thing - we ALL are. And I wish I could remind every racist of that every damn day. This is a song of hope - but also a sobering reminder of our capacity to fall back on our basest instincts. And on the album version, it goes on for a few minutes, into the post-human era. We've been here for what amounts to a blink in terms of the Earth's history - and not even that in cosmic terms. This blue dot will go on without us. We still have time to extend our stay - but we're up against the clock. This is the closest an atheist could get to a spiritual experience. Thank you. 👏💯🥇🌍

I knew this from the very beginning, but I'm SO glad that the ENORMITY of not only talent in this song, but ambition, striving, yearning, the level of complexity is, frankly, staggering. And it's clear that NONE of that is lost on you, Chase. I feel like this performance was a perfect choice for YOU and this channel, as well as the viewers. The fireworks, the pure, unadulterated spectacle is, in its' own way, a celebration for YOU. A celebration for us all in our little microcosm of the Nightwish universe. Congratulations on finally *earning* your way to the peak of "Greatest Show on Earth" Mountain. You were patient, you were reverent, you understood the almost *religious* impact that the band has on the Army, and it is a privilege to join you in this journey. I don't know about the rest of the army, but speaking for myself, I believe it would be a good thing to consider "breaking the seal" on Human :||: Nature. I believe that you've adequately walked the various paths through the band's history to truly grasp the intention and the pure craftsmanship of the latest album, knowing where they've come from. It is my personal opinion that you consider simply working through the album, song by song, starting at 1, with "Music". And perhaps, you can even have a live listen-through the entire album after the fact (either of the new album, or perhaps a full concert, Decades in Buenos Aires is a phenomenal example in recent years). We could spend months and months working through the entire back catalogue of the band, but I think that it's time to walk in the band's current footsteps, for what that's worth. Phenomenal job, Chase. And congratulations for achieving this landmark on your Nightwish journey.

What a great reaction. I myself "discovered" the band only around three weeks ago. So like you, I'm also in the middle of discovering further. Till now I had not one regret in my life, until I discovered Nightwish. My regret now is why didn't I known about them sooner in my life. Then I could have seen this show life, or Wacken 2013. O well, now I just have to wait for the timemachine to be invented. Stay safe, keep on enjoying Nightwish.

If everyone in the world learned to play at least one instrument, there would be no wars. To me, this song proves how real musicians, artists can understand the world for what it really is and contribute to fill with love and show the way to enlightenment to others.

This moment in so many Nightwish reactions, when the song's finished and the person is sitting being silent, because it's difficult to say anything, the impact of their music is so big that it's difficult to form words.

31:42 That slip note isnt actually a mistake, in the album release and pretty much every live performance, he does that note the same.

Just watched your video and enjoyed it so much! I've had the pleasure to attend one of their shows in 2018 and to see them doing this song live. I had to tell myself (during the entire show): "this is real, there they are, live on stage! They are just as great as in these video's, they really are!" I'll never forget it. So, like you said, if you have the chance, go to one of their shows. It's such an experience! They are incredible!

Great reaction to this and love all your reactions. 73 years old and discovered Nightwish about 2 years ago. After watching your reaction videos I get a greater understanding of Tuomas's compositions and the intricacies of his writings and musicality, you sir never miss a note. Brilliant, thank you!

Ya'll know that those first instrumental parts represents periods of evolving universe right, after thé first chaotic part, Troy's flute says that something beautiful Is forming from that chaos. You dont need lyrics to read in this music. That is beyond great..

This track is a wholesome experience. I kinda tear up everytime I listen to it because of the story, the instrumental and their VOICE ! It should definitly be movie score.
