    Pure Floor. I love this song. Btw, this song was Floor's pick for a single, it made her cry when she first heard it (I had the same reaction to this song, it's so touching). Tuomas lost his father a few years ago and he wrote this song out of that emotion. The message is to enjoy life, as it's beautiful and should be celebrated instead of grieved when it ends.
    Nightwish is their own genre and no other band comes close to the level they are at. Never, in the history of music entertainment, have a set of skills and talent collided in such powerful manner. Tuomas is a true genius as a composer and with lyrics.

I think you have to realise Tuomas isn’t in his 20’s anymore so his music reflects this. I have heard the new album and I love it. Not disappointed at all. ❤️🤘🎸🎻🦘

    Lanternlight is breathtakingly gorgeous ❣️
    Not able to listen to this with dry eyes, it goes straight to your soul. It’s so fragile and strong at the same time.
    What a gorgeous piece of music composed by Tuomas and so emotionally sung by Floor.
    Tuomas said that Lanternlight is a song of love to celebrate live of the people that passed. In this case mainly his dad I guess.

  • @NickBR57
    @NickBR57 Місяць тому +15

    The new album is a superb progression of Tuomas' composition and poetry.
    It takes repeated listening and some thinking about, so not for those who don't have the time or inclination to make an effort (very common in these days of 30s tik-tok attention span).
    Lanternlight is the most approachable, perhaps, and currently my favourite but they are all good.

    I'm 73 and I am the last man standing in my family. I understand the loss, yet I still live with hope and intent. Nevertheless, Floor's voice and this composition is akin to an emotional depth charge to the heart. There is a tenderness and vulnerability in her voice that I have not heard before. And her face, good Lord, her beautiful face so expressive and adorned with nothing save her heart and soul just melts me to my core. Some of you get it. Some of you don't. I do, and that's all that matters. Kiitos to all of you in Nightwish for delivering such epic and emotional story telling.

    This song is so beautiful, I can’t stop listening. It starts sad, as we all are when we lose loved ones, but then there is warmth and hope. Cherishing the memories you have of someone and accepting death as the end of suffering and a new phase. ❤

    When bands with a huge fan base, that have been around for decades comes out with a new album, there will always be some of their Fans that are dissapointed that it didn't end up exactly as they hoped for, no matter if your name is Nightwish or even bigger Bands like Metallica. This does not mean that the Songs are bad it often just means the Band are evoving and a Band like Nightwish have never sounded exactly the same sure there are songs/albums that can have familiar styles but if you look the changing over lets say any 3 bands you can certainly hear the difference. And that is just natural as the Artist are maturing and getting new experiences as life goes on.
    I wasn't the biggest fan of the Album when it came out, but often in Metal you need to hear songs 10-15 times to really appriciate the Songs, and the lyrics, unlike most radio friendly pop 3 min pop songs, that you need to fall in love with in 3 listens, and then after having heard them 10 times you are getting more are more bored with them at least thats the way I feel.

They are always reaching. Isn't that part of why we love what they do? I for one, don't want Tuomas brilliance to go stall with variations of the same thing over and over agin. I may not always be hit by the same emotions as in the past but how can anybody not be impacted by Lanternlight?

  • @tonilaitinen5197
    @tonilaitinen5197 Місяць тому +8

    The thing with dissatisfaction when it comes to Nightwish's music is that there is such a vast catalogue of their songs of different styles and few singers, that the band also has very different kinds of fans. Each has their own favourites and this makes it nearly impossible to satisfy every fan with every song or album. Yesterwynde seems also to be not an easy listener. Many of the songs need time to get used to and really sink in. I have found myself thinking every now and then "this is not Nightwish", but then I try to explain myself why and what Nightwish actually "is", and I really dont think you can put them in any box.

  • @larryd4352

    This song was written by Tuomas for his father who passed in 2021. I understand it being for my father, who passed in 2011, and my mother who passed in 2023. It's for all of us. I know that I want my sister to sing this song for me when it's time for me to go....she has the voice of an angel!
    Lanterlight is the last song on this CD...as this CD is the last of the trilogy..
    I was listening to the CD in my SUV this morning, and the first few songs are more along the lines of Symphonic Metal! ( which I love!) I have not finished it yet...but I am looking forward to it!

    Lovely reaction.! Final song from the final album of the trilogy of Endless Forms Most Beautiful, Human Nature, and Yesterwynde. Laternlight feels to me like someone saying goodbye to family and friends as their life comes to the end. Loads of beautiful imagery in the lyrics of seeing the end, of reminding those we love that we will always be present, of lamenting the unfinished things we leave behind (as is always the case), and then walking "to the trees". Since Tuomas is famous for writing lyrics for multiple interpretations I could also see this song where the narrator is death personified, much like the way the lyrics in Music were. A third way I see it is that the lyrics aren't necessarily about a person but are instead a metaphor for humanity and our walk through the eons of our existence which would fit well with the themes of the album trilogy.
    A number of references to Auri and other Nightwish songs. "I am in the light and flood" and " I am in the four winds" IMO are shout outs to the Auri songs Light and Flood and The Name of the Wind, very beautiful instrumental that have a similar feel. For me the line "I am you who climbed off your back" gives me Decades in the Sun vibes and of course "To the meadows I go" is tapping into the same symbolism and meaning as Meadows of Heaven. Heartachingly beautiful song and a perfect bookend to the album and trilogy.
    A beautiful tribute to Tuomas's father and all that are the lantern light for our journey through life. I agree with Tuomas, if we have lived a life of joy and meaning then we shouldn't be sad at the end but celebrate a life well lived. I think this song and Epica's Tides of Time will be the songs for my funeral when I pass.
