Hello Horizala ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This song was performed in Wembley Arena in 2015, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band, and Marco Hietala, bassist and singer.
About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland...
... Tuomas Holopainen, the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [The 1st Bassist of the band was Sami Vanska, he was with them until 2001. The 2nd one was Marco Hietala, as Bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least - we'll see what the future brings to us. Then very recently (May 2021) Jukka Koskinen became the 3nd Bassist of the band, for at least the Human :II: Nature tour] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen . Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "
Hoping you'll continue this journey with us, I'll drop here a list of songs with links with the current lineup of the band you may like. Please consider this list of links only as "a tip of the iceberg", an indication that they have a vast and very diverse repertoire, and NOT as something mandatory:

"The Poet And The Pendulum" [Wembley Arena 2015] ua-cam.com/video/N4Vfy5yCy-c/v-deo.html - for this one (The Poet.. ) I strongly recommend you to do some research, since is a deep emotional and meaningful song, for both the band and the fans.
@Nightwish Arena: Since most of the reactors end up doing a lot of reactions from Wacken 2013 concert, they should be warned that there are a lot of slowed down and even high pitched versions of this concert, so it is better to use only official videos or videos from this playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLexzLA11Cst1G4E0D61rAnWvnDF4zIz8M.html
Last but not the least - they released their 9th studio album on April 10th 2020 named "Human :||: Nature" - just take a peek to their official playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLihZ3gi5Yvzc0pfH2cbNKUUX8o3pb8eVg.html (for example: "Shoemaker", the 3rd track from this album, tells the story of Eugene Shoemaker, one of the founders of planetary science, whose ash was sent on the Moon after his death, as a tribute from the scientific community ..)
The links presented above are with the current singer of the band, Floor Jansen, since I'm a fan of the recent era of the band, with Floor as the singer. That being said, I will add here the messages left the other days by some old fans of the band.
@Fabrizio Gorla: To be fair to the old fanbase, you may want to include also some of these songs.

@ckid10: For full Nightwish concerts from all eras of the band, recorded at high A/V quality, I suggest you check out the YT Nightwish Arena channel: ua-cam.com/users/NightwishArena
You can also react to Floor Jansen "tapping" other musical genres in Beste Zangers 2019, TV show from Netherlands, here is a playlist made by Floor herself ua-cam.com/play/PL8iSYWeQhlimgUnWw1FDdiJN0msPzqpLo.html
In the spring of 2021, Floor also did a cover of "Euphoria" for Beste Zangers Songfestival ua-cam.com/video/FOBgrpkOIVE/v-deo.html
In these pandemic times, Floor Jansen has decided to make covers for us from her home studio, which you can find on her YT channel - there are already 9 covers there, here is the playlist ua-cam.com/play/PL8iSYWeQhlinbJW0aJc2iVy5tYEhC5KL9.html
Following the success of Beste Zangers show, Floor performed a series of solo concerts in the Netherlands in early 2020 with songs from her entire career (After Forever, Revamp, Northward, Nightwish, Beste Zangers) following that the last and the largest concert, at AFAS Amsterdam, to be professionally recorded and broadcast online, with the support of a crowdfunding campaign. After several rescheduling, due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, the concert took place at the beginning of September 2021 in 3 consecutive days. So far the first 16 songs from the concert plus the backstage documentary have been posted online, here is the playlist ua-cam.com/play/PL8iSYWeQhlilDPohfKzmFC_wdTOllD3jh.html
On March 25th Floor Jansen released her first solo song, "Fire" ua-cam.com/video/Utz4gFG3HF8/v-deo.html and recently (on May 27th) she added her 2nd one, "Storm" ua-cam.com/video/aGqJksbbUoY/v-deo.html
Thank you! Waiting for more Nightwish reactions. All the best from RO. Stay safe

Thank you so much for all the info I need to know Gabriel! I will be looking forward to reacting to these videos in the near future. I appreciate the support very much!
@@horizala I'm glad you decided to open up to Nightwish music, and still in such an unusual way. I hope you will continue, because their music, composed and performed over a quarter of a century already, is a real universe, of incredible diversity. I'm curious what route your journey of discovering their music will take, but be sure that, in any direction you will continue, you will not go wrong.
All the best, from Romania!
This was the first ever song I listened from Nightwish and the one that made me fall in love with them !
Hi, i enjoyed your reaction very much. lovely to see people enjoying quality music so welcome aboard the Nightwish train you are in for a hell of a ride. i'll look forward to joining you for that ride. Take care live long & be happy.
Thank you!
I could see it in your face…you FELT it. Don’t worry about getting emotional…their music, and Floor’s voice, gets to all of us now and then. I thought your reaction was lovely…very genuine and heartfelt. I’ll look forward to seeing more of these from you…a suggestion for a song of theirs that I like a lot, and maybe you will, too, is Song of Myself from the Wacken 2013 concert. Have a great weekend! ☮️
Thank you❤️❤️❤️
As you have seen until now in the comments, the nightwish fanbase is all over the world. Can't wait your next reaction.
Nightwish Army UK popping in to say "WE WERE HERE"
You are doing just fine. Nightwish is a band that stirs the emotions in us all. I have cried more tears because of this band than my whole life. When you cry on camera, we cry as well. Good tears. So don't bury or hide them. It's what Nightwish does, stir our emotions. Welcome to the adventure. So much to see and hear. Read all the comments, to help you understand this band. You don't have to answer all of us. There's not enough time in the day for that. Buckle up, Sunshine. You're in for a hell of a ride!!
Thank you ❤️
This is not a song... this is a transcendental experience 😊. Thank you for a beautiful reaction 👍😍😊
What a deep rabbit hole you have ventured into if you decide to see where it takes you. Thanks for your reaction and look forward to any you may do in the future. 🤘
Thank you!❤️
Hello Horizala .
Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish.
They are from Finland.
And they make Symphonic Metal.
What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do.
Nightwish really hits you in your heart.
And that's what makes this band so unique.
Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch.
I happily refer you to Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon) for a list with lots of song suggestion.
Watch out for the Nightwish Army.
Thank you ❤️
Always my dear, embrace the emotional power of the Nightwish army and our Valkyrie Queen! Enjoy the rabbit hole🌹
A lot of us get caught up in emotions with this song. It’s so freaking good
Don't worry about being emotional. Nightwish fans are used to that, it's what Nightwish does. That's why we love them and it's why you'll see a banner in the audience at Wacken saying "Thank you Tuomas for giving us these emotions".
Amen to that, say I.
Nightwish Army UK Eastern division signing out for now...
I hope you continue with Nightwish. There is so much more to discover.
It's a bold and brave move, to start with Nightwish's arguably "biggest" song. But there is plenty more to react to. :-)
Greetings from Nightwish Army, Palm Springs, CA, USA!
What a lovely young girl you are! I thought it was really respectful to the song that you typed your comments in edit! Still, your emotion showed...and that's GREAT!! We all cry with you! The ending, with the quotes from Charles Darwin spoken by Richard Dawkins, are so incredibly moving and meaningful! Makes you remember how lucky we all are to be here, despite the hardships life gives us!
See below a comment from Gabriel Bardac who will provide you with a band bio and list of links to best performances, ready for reactions! Every song is overwhelmingly great, and no 2 sound alike! We hope you take the journey to discover the magic and poetry of Nightwish!
Thank you so much ❤️
Nightwish Army North Texas division reporting for duty. Welcome to the wonderful world of Floor Jansen and Nightwish. Nice reaction. This is definitely the deep end of the pool. It’s an epic soundtrack to the history of Earth. The longest Nightwish song and third of the third of the three big magnum opuses. It’s your channel. Do it how you want to do it. Just be yourself. If the music makes you emotional in any way, express that emotion. It’s what reaction channels are all about. Keep exploring Nightwish. Its a journey worth taking.
We were here 🔥❤️🤘🇫🇮
Thanks, welcome to Nightwish, waiting for more.
Greetings from Colombia
Great to see your reaction. And welcome on-board Thank you.
Haha, I think you are the first reactor that made me increase the volume for their commentary, not the music:) As I am both Nightwish and Dawkins fan, this song has a really special place in my brain. Anyway great reaction, you are not the only one that got emotional listening to this magnum opus.
Wow thank you!
A lovely reaction and a beautiful name Horizala. The first time I heard this song I just sat there with my mouth open thinking what have I just listened to. They do that to me a lot, amazing song and incredible band. Ever Dream and Ghost Love Score are songs you would probably like.
Thank you ❤️
You did a great job , if thats how you want to react , than by all means do it, being yourself is always the best way to go. Me personally i like reactors who sit there and enjoy the music , instead of pausing or talking over the music ....your facial expressions spoke a 1000 words .
And dont ever hold back tears , your not making anyone watching uncomfortable, were crying with you . 😢
I cant wait to ride with you on this journey, i subbed and liked .
Gabriel will give you all the info you need .
Thank you so much ❤️
I second This and concure Wyldesydestyle. :)
Well, you jumped into the pool at the deep end! I admire that!
They are just incredible band. I mean they tell a story I mean it it’s just unreal and the live version. It sounds just as good as the studio version if not better in the way, the time fireworks to their music during that show was incredible.
Hi Horizala. Bit late to the game here, just to say that I really like your oceanic, full moon leader. Very fitting for a Nightwish setting as you will discover later on, when you've prepared yourself to do Tuomas' masterpiece "The Poet and the Pendulum". Cheers from Amsterdam!
Just have to say I really like this style of reaction, where you'll stop and talk about it, but you'll also use the little text notes to add to it without having to stop it. Great way to do it imo.
And as far as looking angry, don't worry, we all know the metal groove face.
Check out "Yours is an Empty Hope" live from Wembley arena to hear some serious growling from Floor.
This is a unique and grand opus for Nightwish. you will discover many more emotional songs from this amazing band. Hope to see you again very soon. You did a wonderful job Horizala!
Gabriel Bardac below will provide you with all the background on Nightwish as well as copious suggestions for additional reactions. Beware lovely lady! Intense emotion and excitement lies just ahead if you decide to take this amazing journey. 🙏
Thank you and I will check out! I appreciate the support!
Will check out for sure! Thank you❤️
Get on the Nightwish express. It takes you away. You don’t know where they’ll take you but you know it going to be friggin’ epic.
Sensory overload….and Floorgasms..NW style!!
The band that can call it “The Greatest Show on Earth” and deliver on all points…incredible
I always wonder if the drop after "wake up in it" is a play on Troy's English accent - "wake up! innit!" ?? Troy is playing the haunting guitar at the start and then the Uillean (Irish) pipes. Glad you love Emppu on guitar! He IS awesome! Damn good at Judo too!
Welcome to my Metalworld for more than 40 years - I ' m 54 years old and love this music
gREAT reaction Horizala..welkome to Nightwish ' s planet...kiss from Italy..
emotional song and concert. thanx to great reaction and have wonderful weekend.
You mentioned the harmonies between the three vocalists Floor, Marko and Troy. You should focus some attention on ‘Human II Nature’ as this album really develops the vocal side of the bands music and includes some great vocal harmonies between the three.
Great reaction, sub'd for the Nightwish journey 🤘
They could be the greatest live band on earth I mean they sound so freaking good live
Haha, straight to the deep end you go. Wellwell, thats a sport, but then again you wasn't a totally virgin with the mighty Nightwish. This mammoth of a song tells the story of the Evolution, and the gentleman in the end was Richard Dawkins referring Darwin. Great emotional reaction. Welcome on board and greetings from Finland! ⛄👍
Thank you! ❤️
This video was my first introduction to Nightwish also(thanks UA-cam) and I got emotional again, right along with you. Enjoy your trip through their wonderful music. btw, the singer Floor is a wonderful person, and has a bunch of cool videos and a few covers and her own music on her own channel. Nightwish is currently touring in Europe and there is recent concert footage out there.
Not touring, they are playing summer festivals. Where they get to put on the bigger shows - such as at Wacken in 2013.
Well done and welcome to the world of Nightwish! Hope to see more soon.❤️
Thank you ❤️
I would love to see more reactions of you to Nightwish , maybe Ghost Love Score you mentioned is a good one to react to next .
The one you did here is realy a masterpiece 👌keep it coming !
For sure! Thank you! :)
Very nice reaction love it to see your reaction and to see howe you feel that. You are great
Thank you, take care🤗🇫🇮!

Loved your reaction.. subscribed!!
NWA - Southeast battalion of Finland reporting for duty 🇫🇮🤘
This is a journey I want to take. This will be amazing. New sub here. Not the typical Nightwish song to start with but who cares. It's Nightwish with our Valkyrie Queen, Floor Jansen, leading us.
Floor growls in Yours is an Empty Hope
🙋♂️ wish you a great journey 🤘🤘
Nightwish Army incoming
WOW what a ride to take. The longest Nightwish song of the all and a very complex topic. Yes Ghost Love Score is another long one but amazing especially live at Wacken 2013. Enjoy.
Also try the Tampere version there´s fireworks it´s a outdoor concert
The start section I agree to anyone who thinks of it of a lullaby. I believe it is ultimate apathy. If you know the meaning of the piece, the great show that was the big bang that led to the creation of earth, to the creation of man, to our moment now, and then you think back to before all of that. What is there but endless space. You have no interest to enjoy, no enthusiasm for a moment, no concern. Just apathy as you drift into an eternal sleep...
Then BANG! The next section of music. We hear the tune of life played for the first time.
Yes it's floor growling, if you want to see a lot more growls from her I would recommend "Yours is an empty hope"
It was Marko on that moment but yeah, she needs to watch the cruize version of that
"OPUS PERFECTUM" Horizala, Opus Perfectum... 😉👍
Lovely reaction on this awesomeness of their tasty repertoire.
Keep on rockin with this magical band and why not react to their live performances (???)
Cheers from Finland 🇫🇮 🤘😎💙💯
Floor does a deep growl in the chorus of Your's is an Empty Hope
Does Floor growl in any song?
YES.
No way, is this like a FIRST TIME EVER listen as in first time EVER SEEING/HEARING NIGHTWISH in general??
Ohh this should be good if that’s the case, can’t wait for this one now lol 😀😀
Yes! Very first time :)
The greatest, indeed
Love your reactions to this NW song!
Thank you!
Woow started from an interesting spot ! Nonetheless awesome reaction girl ! :) Hello Gabriel !!!! Salutari din Timisoara !!! :P
Nightwish Army USA (Pa) division saying Thanks for you reaction
Awesome reaction! How familiar are you to Nightwish? :) The army’s promotion general Gabriel will soon join the comments, but if you want to do Ghost Love Score and Storytime live from Wacken 2013 and Nemo live from Wembley 2015, you’d boost your channel by making all of us happy :D
Haha will react soon! Thank you ❤️
The evolution of our solar system as seen through the eyes of Tuomas. He is the genius behind the works of Nightwish. It has nothing to do with the "BIG BANG" A very deep thinker and cerebral individual
dam. i mean.... god dam
After your first break in the song, the sound is missing.
Musically, I like this version better than the version in Tampere. This one is also a bit shorter from the intro, which I think is good. In Tampere, however, there were fireworks coordinated with the intro, which was epic.
Yes, Floor can growl.. Floor, what can you sing? Yes. Nightwish Army Sweden, mobile unit welcomes you to NW army.
When you said Emppu was so cool, did you notice the riff he played? An homage to Metallica…
Welcome to the wonderful world of NIGHTWISH. One of the best. May I suggest WITHIN TEMPTATION a Dutch group signing Paradise (What About Us?) featuring Tarja (the first singer for Nightwish. Link attached: ua-cam.com/video/Dy6MpsDPKts/v-deo.html
Amorphis - Amongst Stars (official)
Yes Floor does growl, should check out "yours is an empty hope".
Greetings from Nightwish Army, Denmark.
Please react to Ghost Love Score by Nightwish, and move on to The Poet and The Pendulum. Then You will know what Nightwish is all about.
One of Tuoma's great compositions :-)
Nice reaction...I'm sure you'll get more used to it. You certainly jumped into the deep end with this epic song. I hope you'll react to more NW...Check out all of Wacken 2013 for starters...you won't be disappointed...
Thank you ❤️
And Buenos Aires for the crowd response!
Wembly... now Hellfest!
she growls on empty hope
For Floor more consistent growls you will have to visit ReVamp ( Disdain , Wild Card, Misery's no crime ....)
This was a good reaction to a good production thanks, this was not the best version though there's one with fireworks and other instruments in it and you covered part of the subtitles up with your pip screen, thanks again for making this video.
Floor does have a deep growl better than most men, Yours is an empty hope, same show Wembley.
Here is Floor growling. Every chorus & a huge one at the end!
ua-cam.com/video/vyLsU7Q333k/v-deo.html
Thank you!
You need to watch "Yours is an empty hope", the Nightwish cruize version
good choice for yt algorithm. cult followed epic bands are good for it
Hi Horizala, after listening to you sing rule of nine i can't help but wonder if you have a voice coach if not you should find yourself one [ DAM ] you got potential girl. here's a couple of artists you may enjoy if you've heard them already. Korn [ freak on a leash ] Jinger [ pisces ] i would love your reaction on these. Take care live long & be happy.
Thank you so much❤️ I am really trying to put myself out there, so that means a lot to me :) And yes i’m a huge jinjer fan actually! I have also heard freak on leash. If you have anymore suggestions let me know!
@@horizala hi, if you like growling & harsh vocals try Lorna shore to the hellfire quite unique vocal skill from this young man.
Welcome aboard the Nightwish train.I would like to give you some advice on the way;follow Gabriel's list, it will lead you safely to your destination.And since fellow passengers are supported on our train, you will get a subscription from me.

Does Floor growl in any of the songs...?
Ha, ha ha. Yes, she does.
Yours is an Empty Hope live Mexico City 2015 @ ua-cam.com/video/DuwY1d-KIss/v-deo.html
Floor does growl. She does it more in this song from her old band Revamp. Check out this live version
ua-cam.com/video/iNSf64M9uA0/v-deo.html
nasty guitar riff indeed
Try Disdain or Wildcard by Revamp tú formar band of Floor if you want to hear her Growling!
Yes, Floor does growling in some songs. Here (ua-cam.com/video/vyLsU7Q333k/v-deo.html) for example (:
Heavy Metal is the Best Music on this Planet
😚😚😚😚💓💓💓💓💓👌👌👌👌😅😅😅😅
talking beautiful your all that
Was that your daughter yelling for you?
No that was my son lmao but his dad was with him 😂 he’s a mommas boy
@@horizala Ahh I gotcha 👍👍
damn wrong version not the tampere version ok next
Just for now, it is my duty to introduce you to some info about the lyrics.
Lyrics are in " "
[Part 1: Four point Six]
"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. Https://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. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia
"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."
[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 Earth and the other planets 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. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumstellar_habitable_zone
"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 Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_formation#Stellar_nurseries
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. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_universal_ancestor
"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. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapestry#Function
"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. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devonian
. 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: ua-cam.com/video/XGK84Poeynk/v-deo.html
"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/Tree_of_life_(biology)
. 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. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_philosophy
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.
Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_(Australopithecus)
"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.
Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atavism
"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. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_assured_destruction
"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 species of rodent whose intelligence rivals that of humans. This is "ratkind." Https://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!"
Who else is going to vote for this song's inclusion on the next Voyager golden record, if there'll ever be one?
I want to beam this song into space forever.
