So, I watched Elvann to get the hard-core musical theory analysis, and then tuned in to you to watch you geek the hell out over Nightwish and Floor. Edit: and now we're getting into the Joachim leg abuse. Please don't break your thigh.
Yep...Floor said she was actually held back vocally on the last album by design, but this song already shows she has been totally UNLEASHED for Human Nature!! Let the Floorgasms begin!!!!
@@TerranigmaQuintet Actually...she has. Tuomas knew what her capabilities were (which was what Anette was actually afraid of when she heard who they wanted to cover for her when she was sick during the Imaginaerum tour), and wanted to not just challenge her to use other aspects of her voice on EFMB, but also to not just blow everything out of the water on her first album with them, so that the next album could showcase her vocal abilities even more. Several sources online confirm Tuomas' intentions, but when I spoke to Floor and Tuomas at a meet & greet, they both said the same thing.
Go through the lyrics. References to Brave New World and Black Mirror in the chorus. Major criticism of how people act on social media vs real life. Emppu clicked wrong thing and everyone attacked him for wrong thought.

I've been watching reactions to this video for a while now. And it's always funny to see people's facial expressions change when Jessica comes to the screen:) Like the song, absolutely love the video. Can't wait to see them live again in Moscow on 05/27. P.S. The video is directed by Stobe Harju, who previously worked with Nightwish on "The Islander" and also directed an absolutely gorgeous video "Carnival of Rust" for the band Poets of the Fall. Highly recommended for a reaction too)
For those who are dirty old (or young) men like me: The blonde model's full name is Jessica Pezsi Edström. She's from Finland, and has followings on Instagram, Redit, Model Mania, etc.
No, it’t about how most of the information that we take in through media and social media is not in accordance with the truth. Lots of fake information, fake news and political stories that sound great, but that are factually not true. It is about how this noise of misinformation controls our minds. It’s about how we as a society are not capable anymore to distinguish the truth from the lies.
@@treintje1001 It's about all of it. It's about living life in the real world instead of online. We are all guilty of it - showing up at demonstrations just to be seen to be there. The Insta-Mom who effectively lives her life through others looking at her children, and her supposed perfect life..
treintje1001 notice you said “we” a few times. When I say it’s a me society, “me” is included in that group. All of what you’re saying is true, what we read and see in social media is not all true, but when we’re checking it out, subconsciously we are asking ourselves will this information, true or not, help “me “ make my life better or worse, thus making it a me society.
I love it when musicians decide to write a dagger to society! Everyone with some common sense knows that the nowadays society is only to feed the ego, where sex is for sale, children are forced to do stuff because their parents want them to like those 'miss beauty' girls of 7 or 8 years old. You'll hardly find one child who doesn't hate it, but their parents force them to do so because it makes them feel good knowing that their kid is a "beauty". Most of us know this can't be and isn't right, but we cannot do much about it since we're unable to reach large amounts of people within a short enough period.
I read an article that talks about the album and the video and pretty much sums this video up nicely: “People are depicted as a cult of hooded figures, focusing on nothing else but their cellphones while the world around goes to hell. A blonde Instagram model prances about in a photoshoot, almost showing some good old T&A in the process, while hollow-headed followers drool over her and tap their likes. A child wearing a gas mask is sacrificed to the altar of pollution and multiplied Floor takes selfies with a girl who looks like she’s from a children’s beauty pageant, while Tuomas goes around hugging trees and nurturing sprouts of green. Someone gets beaten to pulp while the onlookers just snap away with their cellphones. This is a rude awakening, a vicious backlash to every superficial modern phenomenon, starting from our slavery to social media to prescription drug abusers to consumerism, pollution to egotist personal branding. Nightwish has never been so mean before. This will ruffle a lot of feathers. The end of the video sees the viewpoint rise above the noise that all this is, and shows a vista of a sunrise on a lake in the distance, showing that everything that ever mattered is elsewhere, not on the screen of our phones and computers.”
This is one of those videos like we get from Rammstein's "Deutschland" or Childish Gambino's "This is America". There is so much going on, so many messages all across the board, many you dont pick up on the first few times you watch. Truly great song and a truly great video, i'm liking this a lot! :D Thnx for the react Mr. Rock N Roll !!
Yes, it's awessome :) But do go read the lyrics and re-watch it ;) My takeaways are quit being fake like the posing environmentalist who bathes in oil in private (Tuomas), be tolerant of others unlike those who beat up those who are different (Emppu), help those in need unlike those who use the fight as another selfie occasion (Kai), be king of a throne other than a toilet (Troy), don't count on recreational chemistry or fad diets for happiness (Marko), and pay attention to your children, bond with them, but give them the space and freedom they need to grow (Floor). Also, don't overdose on the digital like an alcoholic with wine so that you don't come to the end of your life only to find you've neglected to live. It all fits in with the previous studio album. Shudder Before the Beautiful, appreciate your family and your Decades in the Sun, enjoy the Endless Forms Most Beautiful, build your Walden, taste the wine and travel with great Elan, and when it's your time to become one with Alpenglow, revel in having won the lottery of birth against all odds to be a part of the Greatest Show on Earth! Thanks again for another fun reaction and have an absolutely fantastic weekend!!!
Jeff Hollenbeck And lets not forget to expose yourself for the likes (blonde girl Jessica) where real life is a struggle to look good in front of the camera. We are looking too much of the world through monitors and lenses while the real world and nature goes by.
@@mantailuaa I see that bit as a reference to Instagram influencers who think it's a real job, you know the ones who think they can eat at a restaurant for free or are entitled to free hotels simply because they have heaps of followers
Night Ethereal That too, it belongs to the same kategory. What is ironic here is that Jessica is in real life an instagram ”star” with lots of followers, shows her sence of humour to be part of this video.
THis video have a very strong message about how stupid and robotic we all have become and not putting attention to our beautifull world! Loved this song and your reaction!!
This is the best reaction ever Can just tell exactly what you're thinking/ feeling! Just everything I feel when Nightwish release new material is summed up here 🤘
If I was anyone of the band in this vid... I'd probably be Emppu. My opinion is often not the same as others. But I still give it. I'm not gonna silence myself because people disagree.
I still remember the first time I watched this song. My jaw was instantly on the floor. I mean really, I never expected them to have lyrics THIS DEEP. This song is a masterpiece.
I swear, if they ever do a gig where they have an orchestra made of fans playing, I will literally fight to the death to play in the 1st violins section!
Another great reaction! Now I`m even more hyped for this album. This is actually Floor`s second NW album. Endless Forms Most Beautiful (2015) was her first. Most of the songs from the Tampere show were from that album. Greatest Show on Earth, Weak Fantasy, Yours is an Empty Hope, etc. FIVE YEARS since we had songs written for Floor, but so many live shows so I guess its ok.
I didn't quite understood what you were talking about when you referred to Floor's "guns" aka her muscles, well... I do now 😅 our Valkyrie Queen took a dark turn on this one 🤘😈🤘 this song has a powerful message: us humans are slaves of technology and social media, so much that we miss the beauty of arts and the outside world, how it changes day by day until we die
There it is. I think he missed that. The song is really good so it might be easy to miss that meaning. And maybe he didn't miss and just didn't want to go into that right now. Song is excellent. It's going to be so good live.
@Ruby Phoenix : I've said it like this: We are turning society into a gigantic Virtual Panopticon. Originally, Jeremy Bentham, an 18th-century British philosopher called his Panopticon a model prison, where the prisoners would automatically follow the rules, once they knew they were being observed. This Virtual Panopticon is already coming to fruition (see China's pilot program of a social credit score). The issue for me is, we aren't just being passive as a technologically innovative Virtual Panopticon is being built all around us -- and the irony is, like trained animals, we are willingly putting ourselves into our own individual cell. And in this prison we are creating, there are no locks, because they aren't needed. At the end of it all, we have the choice, the autonomy, to refuse to consent to what is being built around us -- and we stay silent, because the mob, we think, is somehow more moral than we are, individually. The mob is actually the immoral aspect, not us, because, as I like to say, no man or woman has the right to take away my free will, my autonomy -- and neither does a large group of people deciding, as a group, to do the same. How we each use the tool is up to us -- but to keep our autonomy, to stay free, to enjoy liberty, we each must be willing to pay attention to the world around us, instead of narcissistically seeking the approval of others online -- because when you are a social chameleon, and you are always chasing the approval of the masses, you lose what's real. You lose what makes *you* who you are. Sorry to drag this out, but ever since Noise was released, I've felt a duty to make known my thoughts about this aspect of the modern society we live in -- because unless we speak out, things will only get worse, not better. The first step to solving any problem is recognizing there is one.
I was wondering how you were doing after this....😁 Full of excitement this one is! I am so in the music of this song that guitar solo and the drums 🤪🥰 And Floor is pretty Awesome..from 6.29 is such a lovely part.. I really have to let it all sink in, this song is blowing my mind! 62 days my friend! It is on my list already also! ...Thnx Mr RnR is was worth the wait 👊
You are the man as usual, entertaining reaction to a tune that says much when it is down to the details. Mature music from a band hitting on all cylinders.
This is going to be the best album from Tuomas yet he did a smart move with the message in this music video showing how technology controls us and how human society can't appreciate art or our natural surrounding's .
@@zahrans everyone does, she is just something else. Perfect woman doesn't exist, but atleast she looks like perfect 🤣 personality can be anything under the sun.
if this new 1st song is like this ima have a hard time counting how many floorgasms ill have till the end of the album... glad i have someone to watch to go along me
And yet another thought: the ferris wheel and merry-go-round at 4:55 are not from Chernobyl (the Chernobyl/Pripyat dead amusement park has a different layout). I believe they are from Imagineriam and represent the true childhood the little girl should be having, instead of just posing for Ma Floor's selfies.
Hey, thanks. You are the few who were not the first to think about the strong message of this video. Fortunately, I listened to this single first before I saw the music video. I got to enjoy some good music. But this is visually impressive and it works. You can't but like this. And I had to preorder the album. Likewise, a bit of the desire to see this live on stage.
Ohhhhh daaamn it...I've been watching the "Noise" video for a few times now... seriously, what else could I say but it's fn amazing and totally reflecting the song itself Tbh, I was tempted to set this comment earlier... Yet...I'm at about 3mins in.. and honestly... it's kinda weird (positively way, of course) how much our reactions to it got like scaringly (is that even a word..dunno.. sry I'm German 😅) Aaaanywaaays.... It's been a while since I have been at least kinda reacting to Nightwish videos, the way I did to this...leaving alone I already have been caught by it in my dreams lately 😂 In short terms 😬: love your content and can't wait to see you on this year's Wacken Open Air (hinthinthint.....) Edit just wanted to say something 🤦♀️🤷♀️😅: what triggered me completely (most positive way)... it's kinda weird yet totally awesome to hear so many aspects of former songs in this one... Like... There's something reminding me so much of like "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" or "Romanticide", just to name some
man...great song! And with Marco touring Europe as we speak ( gonna see him in Oberhausen) , Floor doing her theater shows as we speak (saw her there) and Nightwish touring later this year (will see them in Amsterdam) this year has "Symphonic" written all over...and Ayreon makes it complete this summer Live in Germany with Star One !!!
True statement. Me, me ,me. Anyone who disagrees, shall be doomed in every possible way. Modern times social media overpower over human mind and nature. We need more criticism like this.

So, I watched Elvann to get the hard-core musical theory analysis, and then tuned in to you to watch you geek the hell out over Nightwish and Floor.
Edit: and now we're getting into the Joachim leg abuse. Please don't break your thigh.
MrKeserian me too! 😂 this guy is so much fun🤪
Oh yeah, I also watched Elvanns reaction (which I like very much!), but you are right, the most fun action is always with Mr Rock n roll...:-)
Just did exactly the same. Have to watch all of our reactors act after we've reacted ourselves.
@@MrRockNRollLive Start with empty brain. Insert Nightwish. Go nuts. ... Love it :)
Joakim Leg Abuse.... I will keep that one in mind xD
Tuomas headbanging in the oil bath is legit one of the coolest/creepiest images I've seen in recent memory.
Really, really strong message in this track!! Tuomas has outdone himself!! Cannot wait until April 10!!
Yep...Floor said she was actually held back vocally on the last album by design, but this song already shows she has been totally UNLEASHED for Human Nature!! Let the Floorgasms begin!!!!
She has never said anything of the sort.
@@TerranigmaQuintet Actually...she has.

Several sources online confirm Tuomas' intentions, but when I spoke to Floor and Tuomas at a meet & greet, they both said the same thing.
@@technewsfortechnoobs Actually she has not said anything of the sort u are suggesting.
Let’s see one of these ”many sources” please.
I realized that. I was a fan of her other band After Forever . She sang much higher.
Could you imagine being on the other end of Floor belting in to a bullhorn like that? It's no wonder the kid ran away, she's lucky to have survived.
The Lion Roar (film reference).
Brian Tokarcik poor little girls ears are bleeding!🤣
Actually, when they shot the video they had Floor not actually use any voice or it would have been a FUS RO DAH moment.
I love how they first show the perfect picture of everyone like they show it to the world on social media. And then you see the dirty truth. Love it!
Go through the lyrics. References to Brave New World and Black Mirror in the chorus. Major criticism of how people act on social media vs real life. Emppu clicked wrong thing and everyone attacked him for wrong thought.
And then Kai isn't going to help Emppu. It's more important for him to film himself and look cool, when other guys are kicking another one behind him.
I think they mean phones when she sings about worshipping a "black mirror".
@@TimeturnerJ Sure, but Tuomas has said that there is a lot of inspiration from the series Black Mirror on this album.
@@JuhaAuvinen For example these is a line "Shut up and dance" on the lyrics, which is Black mirror episode
The lyric that puts the meaning of the is "Endless noise to control the human voice".
Noise to "decoy" the human voice.
Lyrics:
Crave the machine
Revere the screen
Zoom in for flak and misery
Bleed some pixels
Shoot yourself
Pose for the dead
Have a near-life experience
In a hot air matrix
Now you're a star
Vain avatar
Feeding the beast
In your loud Egoland
You have become
Tool of a tool
Digital ghouls
Telling you to
Shut up and dance!
Color a yarn and the crowds will gather
Noise
From a sunless world
Your mirror is black, only a copy stares back
At a slave of brave new world
Noise
To decoy the human voice
Brain insomniac, paranoiac
Endless noise
Please love me
See how I bleed
Please endure
I have such empathy in me
Hum, noise, hum
Beautifully numb
Tapping the quiet air
To have a meaning
By a carrion
Sad hologram
Lost in the maze
The real and human feel
Sunset is free
From this deity
The Earth has a real voice
Go out and get in
I will follow
Color a yarn and the crowds will gather
Feast your eyes on the black mirror
Feed the beast, join the gathering
Tell a tale
Feast of fears is drawing nearer
Beyond the human horizon
Something terrifying sleeps
I've been watching reactions to this video for a while now. And it's always funny to see people's facial expressions change when Jessica comes to the screen:)
Like the song, absolutely love the video. Can't wait to see them live again in Moscow on 05/27.
P.S. The video is directed by Stobe Harju, who previously worked with Nightwish on "The Islander" and also directed an absolutely gorgeous video "Carnival of Rust" for the band Poets of the Fall. Highly recommended for a reaction too)

Pretty much sums up this era. It’s an “all about me “ society.

No, Floor is the original vocalist on Endless Forms Most Beautiful as well.
Endless Forms Most Beautiful is first featuring Floor Jansen and the first with Troy Donockley as a full-time member.
This is one of those videos like we get from Rammstein's "Deutschland" or Childish Gambino's "This is America".
There is so much going on, so many messages all across the board, many you dont pick up on the first few times you watch.

So, this is the 10th reaction to this song I've watched today. It's still awesome.🤘👍
Every smile that Floor give, make me hit on the floor. #melting

💙💙💙 All Hail Floor 💙💙💙
Another great reaction! Now I`m even more hyped for this album. This is actually Floor`s second NW album. Endless Forms Most Beautiful (2015) was her first. Most of the songs from the Tampere show were from that album. Greatest Show on Earth, Weak Fantasy, Yours is an Empty Hope, etc. FIVE YEARS since we had songs written for Floor, but so many live shows so I guess its ok.
Second studio album of new material.
The idea of the song and the start with the baby reminds me of the video of the song "XXI century blood" by The Warning.
I was waiting so much for his reaction hahahahaha the best from youtube
as a bass-player myself, i have to highlight the little bass melody a little before the 5 minute mark. (before that epic breakdown)
Greatest musical act on the planet today. Perhaps of all time...
Thanks for the reaction. This song has been stucked in my head ❤
Haven’t heard to much music from them in the last 10 years or so but this one perfectly captures the Nightwish “sound”.
But it is not as epic as songs from wishmaster...
finished stage of the band, overcome it.
I didn't quite understood what you were talking about when you referred to Floor's "guns" aka her muscles, well...

62 days my friend! It is on my list already also!
...Thnx Mr RnR is was worth the wait 👊
I thought Nightwish was getting ready to run a hostile takeover the charts..... they opted for a Blitzkrieg.
I like that analogy!
You, sir, win the internet for a day, with this comment. 👏👏👏
Everyone is like another radio friendly single, then bam! the middle changes it up totally just as a reminder that this is Nightwish!
i looove your t-shirt...by the way great reaction...bring more Nightwish please.
No, it's not their first studio song with Floor, as she was the lead singer on their previous album "Endless forms most beautiful" too
Hahahaha I love your reaction! It's great ... I got just like you!
Can't wait to see this song in live version!
trying to find something clever to say, but new Nightwish, so just lets go with it
I feel this is a statement, full with symolics from these days.
That´s all Nighwish. Whao. Perfect first single. I think this song is going to be a killer "live".
So who is excited for the live versions of this new album to hit UA-cam.
Every person with two functioning ears. One might be enough?
First time viewing this dude, but I must say... he is my spirit animal.
THERE YOU ARE!!!! Freakin amazing video - going to see them in London in December. Can't wait!
Like your Floor Jansen fanboy T-shirt. It was also fun watching your work-out with Nightwish.
Can't wait to see this song and performance live
Were gonna break your f***in records with this one Heath!!.
HOLY S**T this is a BAD ASS SONG!! 🎥📣🎶🔥
Your are so mutch fun to watch! Thanks MrRocknRoll😄👍
Love that syncopation in the chorus and then that huge range jump in Floors voice for the final line of the chorus
Whooo new Nightwish! Great reaction as always!
Yes!!!! You did it!!!! I saw other reactions but I was really waiting for yours!!! You are the best!!! 😎🤘🖤
This is going to be phenomenal live! Can't wait to hear it in concert.
Ok.. We can't ignore this guys energy. Cap flew Off like.. Like... Floor's voice? High and gorgeous.
Awesome song 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Can’t wait to see them perform this song live! 💕🤟
Floor: "Mr. Rock & Roll we have this new music video would you like to.. Mr.Rock & Roll: "yes!"
Director for this video also directed nightwish's feature film imaginarium.
You are the man as usual, entertaining reaction to a tune that says much when it is down to the details. Mature music from a band hitting on all cylinders.
There you are I knew it would be a matter of time great reaction
This is going to be the best album from Tuomas yet he did a smart move with the message in this music video showing how technology controls us and how human society can't appreciate art or our natural surrounding's .
Aaaaaand 55th heartattack! That blond.. Jessica.. every freaking time! :D So, you liked the new Nightwish 2.0? I think they nailed it totally!
Not gonna lie. Also paused the video to check out her rear end.
@@zahrans everyone does, she is just something else. Perfect woman doesn't exist, but atleast she looks like perfect 🤣 personality can be anything under the sun.
I'd call it Nighwish 2.2 - the 2.0 update came at the turn of the millennium :)
@@timomastosalo Accepted!
I knew a classic reaction was coming. I was not disappointed. Thank you Mr. RnR!
It's such a good song and video is amazing. Everything about it is sublime.
Those Majestic Basslines from Marco ..ahhhhhh 4.50 andso on 🎸💜🦉🤘💎👑
what a great band keep putting out these master pieces
😂😂😂😂 that is a good start 😂 awesome reaction...cant wait for the album.
The ending of the music video always makes me tear up. :'(
Same here.
if this new 1st song is like this ima have a hard time counting how many floorgasms ill have till the end of the album... glad i have someone to watch to go along me
And yet another thought: the ferris wheel and merry-go-round at 4:55 are not from Chernobyl (the Chernobyl/Pripyat dead amusement park has a different layout). I believe they are from Imagineriam and represent the true childhood the little girl should be having, instead of just posing for Ma Floor's selfies.
Hey, thanks. You are the few who were not the first to think about the strong message of this video. Fortunately, I listened to this single first before I saw the music video. I got to enjoy some good music. But this is visually impressive and it works. You can't but like this. And I had to preorder the album. Likewise, a bit of the desire to see this live on stage.
Ohhhhh daaamn it...I've been watching the "Noise" video for a few times now... seriously, what else could I say but it's fn amazing and totally reflecting the song itself
Tbh, I was tempted to set this comment earlier... Yet...I'm at about 3mins in.. and honestly... it's kinda weird (positively way, of course) how much our reactions to it got like scaringly (is that even a word..dunno.. sry I'm German 😅)
Aaaanywaaays.... It's been a while since I have been at least kinda reacting to Nightwish videos, the way I did to this...leaving alone I already have been caught by it in my dreams lately 😂
In short terms 😬: love your content and can't wait to see you on this year's Wacken Open Air (hinthinthint.....)
Edit just wanted to say something 🤦♀️🤷♀️😅: what triggered me completely (most positive way)... it's kinda weird yet totally awesome to hear so many aspects of former songs in this one... Like... There's something reminding me so much of like "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" or "Romanticide", just to name some
Thanks Mr. This is strong message 😎🤘❤❤
I can not wait to see and hear this live
The only youtuber who haven't said a word about the message of video and lyric
Greatest reaction ever!!!!!!
Such a good song!!!! Love this band! Love your videos! You make me laugh so hard!! Thank you, thank you!
I love the band-cameos in this! King Troy! Green Man Tuomas!
Good idea to do an entire album reaction Can’t wait for April 10th🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
👑
I was just waiting to see your reaction to that last high note, lol. You didn't disappoint!
Just want to say...
Thanks Mr. and thanks NW!!!!
Krasy man!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Floor's first album was endless forms most beautiful.
The blonde is Finnish model 'Jessica Edstrom', FYI.
Sure there are many that were wondering.
No idea what you're talking about xD
My reaction was exactlly same like yours 🤘🤘
man...great song! And with Marco touring Europe as we speak ( gonna see him in Oberhausen) , Floor doing her theater shows as we speak (saw her there) and Nightwish touring later this year (will see them in Amsterdam) this year has "Symphonic" written all over...and Ayreon makes it complete this summer Live in Germany with Star One !!!
Your face when the booty hit the screen...yep, same🤣🤣🤣
True statement. Me, me ,me. Anyone who disagrees, shall be doomed in every possible way. Modern times social media overpower over human mind and nature. We need more criticism like this.
Love the shirt!!!!
Lyrics:
Crave the machine
Revere the screen
Zoom in for flak and misery
Bleed some pixels
Shoot yourself
Pose for the dead
Have a near-life experience
In a hot air matrix
Now you're a star
Vain avatar
Feeding the beast
In your loud Egoland
You have become
Tool of a tool
Digital ghouls
Telling you to
Shut up and dance!
Color a yarn and the crowds will gather
Noise
From a sunless world
Your mirror is black, only a copy stares back
At a slave of brave new world
Noise
To decoy the human voice
Brain insomniac, paranoiac
Endless noise
Please love me
See how I bleed
Please endure
I have such empathy in me
Hum, noise, hum
Beautifully numb
Tapping the quiet air
To have a meaning
By a carrion
Sad hologram
Lost in the maze
The real and human feel
Sunset is free
From this deity
The Earth has a real voice
Go out and get in
I will follow
Color a yarn and the crowds will gather
Feast your eyes on the black mirror
Feed the beast, join the gathering
Tell a tale
Feast of fears is drawing nearer
Beyond the human horizon
Something terrifying sleeps
Love this song; reflects the modern time
I was wondering when I'd see this video pop up in my feed. Nice spring into action!
Also, you should do a reaction to Shutdown by Mezmerized
Cant wait till the live version🔥🔥🔥
THIS IS BRUTAL!!! BRUTAL GÜERA, BRUTAL MENSAJE, BRUTAL MÚSICA, BRU-UU-TAL. ¿CÓMO PUEDE HABER TANTO PODER EN UNA SOLA CANCIÓN?
FYI...the last album, Endless Forms Most Beautiful, was the 1st studio album with the beautiful, amazing Floor.
Mr. Rock N Roll
I had listen Yours an empty hope in Wembly 2015,there you can hear growing,OMG😱😱😂😂your brain going exploded 🤯😂🇳🇱🙋🏽♀️🌷greetz
This is actually the second studio album wit Floor, Endless forms most beautiful was the first.
