I have said this before, but I don't care and here it come's again: Tuomas is not just a metal musician, he is a composer
We know.
Yes!
I heard him saying he considers himself a songmaker - which has perfect sense, because - apart from being a brilliant composer - he also writes most of the lyrics which is an art in itself that includes poetry, storytelling etc…
💯
Agree. He’s a genius
The singer is Johanna, Tuomas' wife.... And the artist is Don Rosa...
Keno Don Rosa to be exact. ;)
@HIFK forever Ah you got me there. :)
So, I never even knew Thuomas had a wife...I feel horrible now.
But she's an angel!
Don't forget Johanna and Mikko Iivanainen who are also in this song and album. Famous finnish musician couple
Näädät ja Kahvara nurin! 😍 Peräkkäisinä päivinä, vaikka 4 peliä kuuteen päivään!(Ei oikein Sport ja Jukurit alkuviikosta napostellut. Oli kyllä aika shaibaa) Mutta nyt... Ei paha, ei paha! Kom Igen HIFK, Kom Igen!❤
The man is Don Rosa, artist of Scrooge McDuck. And yes, Johanna is Tuomas's wife. Another great one from this album is The Last Sled. Johanna has a gorgeous voice.
She's also the singer in Auri, with Tuomas and Troy Donockley. Heath has a short attention span.. 😜
Tuomas had been working on this for years. When he was very young he became a fan of graphic novels. The main one was Scrooge McDuck by Don Rosa. He was the man drawing. He always wanted to do something for him for all of the pleasure he had brought to Tuomas. There is a whole album. Don Rosa had to retire because his eyesight got really bad. So this was perfect timing. The woman singing is Johanna a popular singer in Finland and is now his wife.
Tuomas's music is so amazing. He is a real genius. We are lucky to be alive at the same time as Tuomas. Look what we would have missed maybe. I know how this made you feel. I am tearing up just listening to it. Sometime you should check out some songs from his, Troy's, and Johanna's side project together. It is an Album called Auri. It is folk and celtic like music. You don't have to react to it. Just give it a listen in your spare time. lol Take care my friend......... :-)
I second this. Auri is an amazing album. 🙂💙
ANN BABY ..!!!!...YOU NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE ME ...YOU ARE ALL KNOWING ...
And The other woman singing is Johanna Iivanainen
As always, well said Ann!!! 😊🤘❤️🤘
@@stevekanakanui7033 :-)
This was a pretty huge deal in Finland. Exept that noone here likes to make a big deal so it wasn't as big as it should've been. Mr Don Rosa is an award winning comic artist, who made the absolutely wonderful series called The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck that for some reason isn't worshipped in US as it should be. In Europe and especially in Finland however, Donald Duck and Scrooge McDuck have always been very popular and Mr Don Rosa is always VERY welcome here. Tuomas, like many Finns, is a big fan and wanted to make a score for this master piece of writing Mr Rosa did. He has a good sense of humor and was all for it, Rosa did the art for it. They signed albums together and it was the biggest fangirl moment of my life! This is one of those albums I always listen to when hiking in Lapland :) so glad people are FINALLY finding this. Thanks for reacting!
Spot on
The whole back story is so great. Tuomas was planning and making this for years as he is huge Scrooge fan. This is soundtrack for Uncle Scrooges adventures in Klondike. Comic book, sorry "graphic novel", created by Don Rosa. As seen on video Tuomas got to meet Don Rosa and he got to hear this. He, Don Rosa, was so moved listening to the album that he had tears in his eyes listening to that.
Im so happy for Tuomas that he got to meet Don Rosa and that Don Rosa got to listen the whole album.
thomas is one of my favourite composers his music carries so much emotion
like lyrically and melodies are so strong and powerful
"Music Inspired by the Life and Times of Scrooge" is a solo project he did in 2014. This song is from that album
Tuomas and Johanna are in Auri, along with Troy.
As others have said, the lead vocalist is Johanna, Tuomas' wife. The second female singer is Johanna Iivanainen, a jazz singer who has a very solid voice herself. Not the easiest to find her music, but certainly worth looking into! Also, you should check out Tuomas' other project, Auri, which features Troy from Nightwish and Johanna Kurkela
the guy is Dona Rosa ..he's the drawing artist of Scrooge , the singer is Johanna Tuomas wife (married in 2015) ..Tuomas is really a genius in Composing music..you should listen to "Auri" ..it's also from Tuomas with his wife and Troy ..
I bought this record without ever having heard a single note but i just knew that it would be great because of Tuomas. Just listen to the whole album.
I'm so happy to see this! The Last Sled is another absolutely mesmerizing one from this album.
Lyrics to the song
To be rich is to still remember
To treasure your first dime
To have a chance to say farewell
Story of your life
Time of solitude and strife
Freedom of an open road
Hope and many miles to go
Promises to keep
Countless gold fields to reap
To be rich is to seek
To relive the memory
Far off lands, quests of old
Self respect, true grit
Never cared of what a fortune might buy
To seek is to be rich
Story of your life
Time of solitude and strife
Freedom of an open road
Hope and many miles to go
Promises to keep
Countless gold fields to reap
To be rich is to seek
To relive the memory
All the strangers on your path
Crossroads the letters from home
The cooling embers of yuletide hearth
All the sounds of wilderness
The truth in which you roamed
Now your lost Rosebud has brought…
Brother Firetribe "For Better Or For Worse", Emppu is guitarist in this band
This and "Heart full of fire" live with Anette Olzon.
Night 13 by Auri (also Toumas Holopainens band)!!!❤️
YESSSSSS!! Night 13 is a MUST-LISTEN
Don Rosa is one of the coolest people on this planet.
Toumas Holipainen is one of the best musician in this world. Great reaction Mr.RnR 👍
Johanna's voice is magnificent, so sweet, tender and delicate, it pulls strings in your heart everytime 💕
Tuomas for sure knows how to work on singers voices to take the best out of them!
So glad you reacted to this, I really hope you react to the all album.
The man, the legend tuomas!
🤘❤️🤘 This is so beautiful and also cool his wife sings and the artist is one of Tuomas favorites!! Excellent one Heath!! 🤘🤘
Thanks so much my dude!!! A million years ago I started recommending this song on reaction channels pretty much knowing that as I'd be the only one asking for it, it could not compete with the many other recommendations flooding into reactor's request queues. I confess, kind of gave up. Times have changed and the hunger to see outside work from Nightwish members has exploded! This makes me happier than you can know. Again, thanks.
Im a bit late to the party seeing your reaction to this, but Im so glad you found this song :) The whole album Tuomas did is incredible and really shows off his immense talent as a composer, but this song is just heartstoppingly beautiful :)
fantastic piece of music with beautiful voices. plus I love good graphic novels and good illustrators. Don Rosa is legend.
would never have thought to look for this either! thanks to comments for the i.d. of Johanna as the singer and Tuomas' wife! her voice is beautiful!
You definitely need to check out Auri now. It's a group comprised of Tuomas, Johanna Kurkela (his wife and the vocalist here,) and Troy Donockley (of course also from Nightwish.) I highly recommend listening to either "Night 13" or "Desert Flower."
That amazing singer is Tuomas' wife Johanna Kurkela and she is very famous singer in Finland. :) When Tuomas begin to do this album, he thought who could sing this song cos is not for Nightwish song. Then he thought ouh yes, my wife sings too so he asked her to sing in this album. And then Mr. Rock and Roll you should check out Auri album, Tuomas Holopainen, Johanna Kurkela and Troy Donockley have made together and the song Desert Flower!
Tuomas wife is not the main singer is the secound singer , the main singer is Johanna Iivanainen
Songs I usually listen from this album:
-Duel & Cloudscapes (neither version has vocals)
-Cold heart of Klondike ( vocals by Tony Kakko from Sonata Arctica)
-The last sled (vocals by Johanna Kurkela)
-A lifetime of adventure (vocals by Johanna Kurkela)
I could go on and on about Carl Barks and Don Rosa. I knew Carl, I know Don. Carl started with Disney writing for short cartoons, later moved on to write all the great Donald Duck comics and to create Uncle Scrooge. The TV show Ducktales is basically Carl and Don with a modern take. There is a beautiful art book, Uncle Scrooge McDuck, published by the late Star Wars produce Gary Kurtz which takes thirteen classic Barks stories and has them recolored with airbrush by an Australian artist. Beautiful. With introduction and afterword by...George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. Barks did about 200 oil paintings of the Ducks; paintings that now sell in the six figures (I coulda bought one in 1969 for $200, but hey, I had no money). I learned how to read from starting with Barks' comics. Don took Scrooge and the other Ducks, ran with it, and constructed something epically brilliant atop Barks' groundwork. Vast amount of work, and I'm not surprised Tuomas was taken with it. Don is something of a genuine hero in Finland, since one of his last major works was Scrooge, Donald, and the nephews doing a riff on the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala. Great stuff.
I could also go on and on about Nightwish, but you do that so much more energetically.
Alan Dean Foster
Prescott, AZ
author of the occasional book (Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien, and such).
I would recommend The Last Sled or Cold Heart Of The Klondike from this album…
Moments of Escape BOTH!!!
OH yes, The Last Sled is my favourite from the album!
Those two songs are absolute masterpieces.
i like Goodbye, papa too
Wednesday was the best day of the week when I was a kid. It meant Donald Duck comic (Aku Ankka) was waiting me when I got home from the school. Like Tuomas, just about every kid has read that comics for decades already in Finland, and many continue as adults. Don Rosa is a household name. I own a few of his high quality hard cover comic books, state of the art. It's so great Don Rosa and Tuomas collaborated with this! And it's a wonderful, dream-like tune, to which Johanna's vocals add.
Yasss! Love his work. Tuomas is one of the greateat composers, with such a wide range, in the 21 centuries.
If you're interested, from the same "The last Sled"
By the way the singer is his wife :) and in general can I recommend the whole project.
The ”front lady” is Tuomas’s wife, Johanna. And of course you HAVE to hear ”Night13” from their (Tuomas and Johanna) album with Troy called ”Auri”
Now do Cold Klondike Heart. My favourite song from this album. The singer from Sonata Artica is in it. Another band you should listen to.
Funny you should mention it, I read some time ago, a study that stated metal lovers also were big into classical music too.
I don't remember who said it, but there's a thought that metal (and I would say symphonic metal on top of it) is the very top of music evolution. People who hate metal don't realize the complexity of it, they think its just stupid banging into drums and shredding guitar. But a good metal song can give me the same feeling as Brahms symphony, that cannot be said about Bieber, Lopez, Beyonce, Adele... or whatever mtv award winner you can think of.... so yes, metal and classical forever....
@@lenchanted9698 may I suggest (in case of not knowing him) stuff by Mike Oldfield? A hero as well.
@@Magenta1982 Oh I do know him :) been listening to his work since I was ten, longer than Nightwish. And just like Tuomas I have a thing for celtic and movie music so if I may suggest too, the Celtic circle discs are great. The first edition had Sleeping sun in the track list together with Clannad, Dune, John Williams, Loreena McKennit, Vangelis, Corrs, Sarah McLachlan and many more.
Darrell Beam In my personal experience, most metalheads I met are heavily into other complex genres, be it classical, jazz, or even prog rock. I'm personally not too big into metal (though there are a few bands and artists that I REALLY like), but I usually hit it off very easily with any metalhead I meet.
Broderick Siz, I have a suggestion for you. Go to vkgoeswild here on UA-cam and listen to her piano covers of metal and rock songs. You might gain some insights to the genre.
If you ever come across the comic book / graphic novel "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck" by Don Rosa - buy it. Even if you hate Walt Disney & Co., the stories told there are very sound indeed. And gripping. And not what you'd expect at all by a character so mishandled by the Disney Company itself over the years. The music here is a fitting companion piece to the graphic novel in terms of quality, to put it that way.
One of t most stunningly beautiful songs ever written :) always makes me wanna cry
All the Nightwish dudes and Floor do their own stuff 😍😍😍
Well of course. Nightwish has become a megaproject, and more of an expirience than just a regular band. When you have 6 extraordinary musicians it's expected that they are going to engage in other projects as well 😎.
And they are all top notch on their own.
@@sugoruyo exactly 😎
I think this piece of art shows the unbelievable talent of Tuomas. Another project of Tuomas and Troy is Auri. One of my favorite songs is Desert Flower.
This is another song that I feel so deeply... I can draw so many parallels between it and my life in long haul trucking.
And yes, I definitely seek to relive so many memories 😉
Tuomas, Troy and Tuomas' wife, Johanna has their own band, Auri. Check them out!
ua-cam.com/video/IMGykxseAlc/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/fYVmmWNskjs/v-deo.html
Yeees... the album this song is on is amazing. Should listen to the whole thing, and check out Auri too. Much calmer than Nightwish but still just as amazing. Edit, the main vocalist here is Johanna Kurkela, Tuomas' wife, though I don't think they were married at the time
Please react to.....the last sled with Tuomas ....
I think you would love that
Personally I prefer the song "The Last Sled", give it a listen :) Tuomas(Holo-pie-nen) is a genius. It's easy to think he's just some keyboard player in a 'metal' band. Once you learn more about him, people realizes that he's nothing but a pure genius.
Yes, I agree. Tuomas is great storyteller.
They had HUGE issues with Disney in regards of this album, Don Rosa was only allowed to draw Scruge in a certain position without getting in serious trouble.
This whole album is pretty magical.
Whoever is singing this has an incredible voice! 😍
She's Johanna Kurkela, a popular Finnish singer too and Tuomas's wife!
Thanks for turning my suggestion into a video!
Edit: Told ya it was good!
Tuomas is awesome 🤘🎶🤘😁
Man, is that some righteous guitar tones or WHAT!?!?!?!?
The lady who sings this is Johanna kurkela ( u should check her Songs also) Seen her live few times and her Songs and singing makes me cry. She is imo the best female vocalist in Finland of alltime!
Her christmasalbum is being played throughout christmas. Few years ago I went to a christmasgig in a local church. I nearly cried the entire show because her voice is like an angel, her songs and stage presence is like a heaven sent. I took my dad once to one of her shows in a theatre. My dad sat Still the entire 90min and after was loss for words because he was so amazed and said that he almoust wanted to cry.
Johanna has this one song called prinsessalle ( to a princess) and that hits hard. I lost my little brother when I was 15y in a accident. I’ll put the lyrics in English down below.
I swing, I listen
I cover you with a shelter
I swing, it's late
I already hear the waves
Be not afraid of dark
there will be many candles
And in the end even the cortège
can't come along with you
Though you leave into the night
just go on even though
it's great, endless so
Towards the white shore
to the ship of my songs
you walk and you know
That you are not afraid anymore
there will be many candles
And in the end even the cortège
can't come along with you
Be not afraid of dark
there will be many candles
Just sleep if you are tired
I'm still awake by your side
And in the end even the cortège
can't come along with you
And my solace is
that there's everything for you
First I have to say that I love your reactions. What I like most is that you love the whole band. Many just praise Floor, and ignore the other members. Floor is the perfect singer and i really love her but without a good musical background the band would not sound as it sounds.
As for Thomas and this song I have to tell you: Toumas is not just a metal musician. He is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, record producer... an ARTIST, musical genius. Studied jazz and classical styles, but prefers to be influenced by harmonic film music; studied clarinet, tenor saxophone, piano and music theory for twelve years at a music college.
I love this whole album especially Glasgow 1877, Please also listen to Auri, another of his side projects together with Johanna and Troy Donockley
The lady singing in this song is Tuomas's wife, Johanna Kurkela. She is a recording Finnish singer/artist. She mainly sings in Finnish so you've probably never heard of her before. If you want to check out some of her production, check out "Sudenmorsian", which roughly translates to "Wolfbride". It's a hauntingly beautiful song.
For the next Nightwish tour the special guests or support bands should be all the side project bands these guys work with. Just how shocked, amazed and awed would the crowd be. I know I would be in a whole new realm of oh my god
didnt read all the comments...but the guy in the picktures with the red baseball Cap ist Pip Williams he and his Orchestra have done the real (non synth parts...wich are usally played by Tuomas) Orchestra Parts on ally Nightwish Albums since Once
I stand at the altar of Johanna. My fantasy hubby Tony Kakko does vocals on this album. Sonata Arctica The Wolves Die Young or Blood live.
Have a look at Auri "The space between". It ist mindblowing. Tuomas with Johanna, his wife, and Troy from Nightwish. This is perfect music...
"The Life and Times of Scrooge" is one of the best series of graphic novels that have ever been created with the great artist Don Rosa doing what the original inventor of Scrooge McDuck, Carl Barks, never would and could: creating a coherent backstory for one of the most well known comic book characters of all time, putting painstackingly research and details into this work, reading every tiny bit Carl Barks ever did about Scrooge McDuck and fitting it all together.
Tuomas, big fan of Don Rosa and one of the best composers in the world put that into music, avenly putting an eye on any small detail whatsoever, to create a soundtrack of 11 songs that match perfectly. It is pure art created to commemorate pure art.
My favorite part on the album was "The last sled to Dawson".
Love the video keep up the good work
Tuomas is a massive Disney fan and Don Rosa is one of the two great artists of Scrooge & Donald. This song comes from his concept album based on the Don Rosa comics that form "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck". I think there were 12 main stories and 9ish supplemental ones. I can understand your confusion...this is not the normal Nuclear Blast music!
Ok, lets continue with my suggestions xD How about "the dead daisies", maybe the song "burn it down". its really nice modern hard rock
Artist is Keno Don Rosa aka Don Rosa. In Finland, Donald Duck is Aku Ankka. Don has been drawing Scrooge McDuck for a long time. He learned from his mentor, original artist who drew Scrooge McDuck, and artist's name is Carl Barks. Carl is a Disney Legend. Don took over the duties of drawing Donald, his Uncle Scrooge McDuck plus others from Carl. Don hidden D.U.C.K. on his drawings. D.U.C.K. means Dedicated to Uncle Carl from Keno. This song by Tuomas was inspired by Rosa's 12 Chapters of The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck. Serial Comic Series was published in 1995. There is an interview with Tuomas and Don Rosa with both Finnish and English. At 1st, Don never heard of Nightwish when Tuomas approached him about a musical score on Scrooge McDuck. Don thought ok thinking it is BS. But Tuomas contacted Don that lyrics and music are finish. Tuomas setting up recording with a full band with his fiancé, Johanna (now his wife doing vocals with their friend, her name is Johanna too). Tuomas invited Don. Don drew that iconic artwork during this video. I think Don gave that one of kind piece to Tuomas after it was completed.
Don Rosa, the man who created scrooge mcduck, one of Tuomas' biggest idols and Johanna Kurkela, a finnish singer and Tuomas' wife - she is amazing imo - she's doing a lot finnish music.
You should check out AURI as well - Tuomas' and Troys (yes the guy with the pipes in Nightwish) sideproject - they have 2 singles (official videos) on youtube, both absolutely worth a listen ;)
@@Terapiaelukka Ok, I neverhad that much research on it, seems like you know it better than me :)
Terapiaelukka Wow. First time I hear the D.U.C.K.
Need to remember that next time I go to a bathroom.
there's a lotta good muso's this dude is there with em, i said there's a lotta good muso's for a reason it'll be a life time to listen to em all what a good time it is, for me atm eternity's end is a must listen then again there's a thousands band to listen too
wow this voice is amazing its real folks
Just react to the whole album, it's amazing.
Mr. Rock N Roll: "That's some monster art right there!"
And this is why it's a crime how Don Rosa isn't better known in the US.
Sure, it's not super heroes like Batman, or the X-men, but this is pure gold.
Most Americans would think of DuckTales and boy... how surprised they'd be if they read Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck by Don Rosa.
Like you said yourself; It's monster art.
Don Rosa, my man. Picking up where Carl Barks left off and then just fucking RAN with it.
I've been loving this song for a long time, but I didn't know it was his 😅 I began watching this video, thinking I didn't know tuomas had his own songs 🙈🙈🙈
Hey man! Love your reaction. Can I suggest Delain, maybe their new single Burning Bridges or older songs with our own Marko like The Gathering or Sing to Me.
Another awesome band Im sure you would love is Kamelot. A good start would be March of Mephisto.
Finally, Ayreon with Valley of the Queens.. Floor sings it so why haven't you done it yet? Haha
I second that option for "Sing To Me"
If you haven’t seen or reacted to
Dark Sarah- Dance with the Dragon
I suggest you check it out. You won’t be disappointed.
Tisha Liz Yes! I love this song and video. I just found out about it a couple of weeks ago. And it stucks in my head since then.
True!
Yes! That's an awesome song!
Wauw.. it is soooo beautiful🥰
THIS IS THE GREATES THINS EVER!!!
I love you Mr hot and awesome!
so pleased to see you watch this, but you need to listen to the whole album now xxx it is a whole story :) xx also check out Auri which is Tuomas, his wife and Troy xx
That's Don Rosa, the creator of Donald Duck and The Life And Times of Scrooge McDuck. He's a childhood hero (so to speak) of Tuomas. Just like Henk Poort is for Floor. One of the messages of the video is if you can reach your goals and are able to live it, you are more rich than what you could be able to buy for money. Tuomas realized one of his dreams by meeting his childhood hero.
(Btw. pretty much all band members of Nightwish have the same philosophy about money and being rich. Money is something you need for living, but to live you have to make your own life. And live it. And that pretty much shows in everything they do or how they behave. Any member of Nightwish is a great example of a good human. For lack of a better term.)
Sorry it's a bit late here and I'm tired. But I'm sure you get what I wanted to say. This is a very deep song and I love it.
Just to stay in the spirit of things. Are you aware that Floor did a side project as well? It's called Northward and she did this last year (or maybe the year before that).
If not, go check it out!
Toumas has always had a thing for Disney....
And guitarist was Markku or was itmMarko Iivanainen and the other female singer shorter one with blonder hair is his wife Johanna Iivanainen, So both Tuomas and Guitarist have beautiful Finnish wives called Johanna, and both have such a pretty singing voice.
My favourite in this series is "Last Sled" - ua-cam.com/video/ICBbTKy6sxE/v-deo.html. Tuomas and, his wife, Johanna Kurkela (the singer here - the smart man married her), together with Troy Donockley have a project called AURI. Try their song "The Spaces Between" - ua-cam.com/video/IMGykxseAlc/v-deo.html
Maybe it's just me but I think when it comes to Tuomas it has to be epic that's just him
He said it himself :) looong epic song are easier for him to compose than usual 3 minute stuff. So as long as he writes music we will get the epic :D
Gorgeous.
This song gave me duckbumps also. 5:04
If you want to check out about what kind of music Johanna makes I'd recommend "Ehkä ensi elämässä" ("Maybe in the next life"), ua-cam.com/video/UxvNe761z2g/v-deo.html "Kuolevainen" ("Mortal") ua-cam.com/video/1PvBsUWryCY/v-deo.html and "Satojen merien näkijä" ("Seeress of Hundreds of Seas") ua-cam.com/video/D4g7XzFiZYw/v-deo.html (only song of her composed by Tuomas) There are quite often some mystical fantasy elements in her songs which suits perfectly to her singing voice. Although most songs of Johanna can't be counted as metal there are some exceptions like she visited in featuring artist in Sonata Arctica's "No Dream Can Heal a Broken Heart" ua-cam.com/video/s2MXgKgSuzw/v-deo.html and "Deathaura" ua-cam.com/video/loffKzN9HCo/v-deo.html she has sang also Metallica's "Nothing else Matters" ua-cam.com/video/aiIP18Mf4v0/v-deo.html
Don Rosa....... Amazing .
Guitar solo I love is Elias Life Sonata Arctica. The best live version is 3 songs Wacken where the wind is blowing and Elias is just going for it.
You have a lot of things to know about this video:
1. The entire album is a conceptual tribute to Scrooge McDuck (Donald's uncle). Tuomas loved the stories of Scrooge as a child, and he invested his own money to make this album possible. Of course, in those days Nightwish fans had a lot expectation for the album's launch.
2. The old man in this video (the first single in the album) is Don Rosa. He heard about the album of Tuomas, and he met Tuomas and offered to make the front image of the CD. If you pay attention, Don Rosa was drawing something all time in the videk, and in the end of the song the last image shows Scrooge looking a forest with auroras. Well. This is the image of the album, made by Don Rosa in person.
3. The singer is Johanna Kurkela. She is actually the girlfriend of Tuomas.
4. No nightwish members participated in this album.
5. Tuomaa composed almost the entire album, except by some work of Pip Williams, who is also an important piece of the orchestral parts of Nightwish songs.
6. The album is absolutely conceptual, but there are some beautiful pieces I truly love. The other single video is called "The Last Sled". Check it out. Is a pretty song and a little more epic. You would like "Cold Heart of the Klondike" or "Duel and Cloudscapes". There is more epicness.
7. The album was well accepted and received many prizes, like Golden Disc by sellings.
Why you haven't reacted more to this album?? Please do it!!
Hello! Allow me to explain a few things.
Scrooge McDuck ventured across the world and its many frontiers. Perth. Chisolm Trail. Indonesia. South Afrika. And the last frontier: Yukon Canada.
As you know by now, all these pictures are from the comic strip. The lightbulb: Scrooge didn't know what electricity was, and thought the lightbulb was a candle and some 'fool' closed the top, preventing the fire. He chipped it, and the person he was with turned the light on at that moment... zip.
The case at the end: All of Scrooge's most prized possessions are in that chest. These prized possessions being artifacts of his travel, memories.
The finished picture of the end is Scrooge staring into White Agony Creek, a fictional setting located in Yukon Canada. As that was the Yukon gold rush, from 1897(?) to 1991, something like that.
Luckily, I'm living in this beautiful territory of the north. Love from the Yukon.
Hey Heath, not sure if you're a gamer, or if you're aware, but Floor, in one of her side projects, did a song for Final Fantasy Chronicles with the Metropole Symphony (Black Symphony in the Netherlands) called "The Sound of the Wind."
It's really good, bro -- and not metal at all. Completely symphonic and classical-sounding, and I suggest it since you say you listen to the classical masters like Beethoven and Bach. Might I also suggest Tschaikovsky, a Russian composer, as well? Look for "Flight of the Valkyries" and "The 1812 Overture."
Happy Holidays, and be well, my metal brother!
The singer is Thoumases wife. The old guy is Don Rosa....One of Donald Duck's original illustraters.,👍🇭🇲
That is the illustrator of Scrooge McDuck, Don Rosa. Tuomas is a big Disney fan and he wrote this to celebrate the life of the creator Carl Banks. BTW the lead singer is Tuomas's wife Johanna Kurkela. She has a beautiful and interesting voice. It seems to be so lite and delicate like a fairy or forest Sprite.
If you like her voice, you can also check out AURI. This is a project Tuomas did together with his wife Johanna and Troy Donockley. It is more atmospherical music, roughly based on a character in one of his favourite books from Patrick Rothfuss.
Toumas is one of the biggest Fan from Walt Disney.
I would recommend The Last Sled or Cold Heart Of The Klondike, or the instrumental song Goodbye, papa from this album…Really nice songs
Really american don't know his country man Don rosa best artist that i know.
That album is one of my favorite ever! I don't know why, reminds me Christmas. Disney + Tuomas = ♥️
Also love Don Rosa. I have a great collection of his work
Best of 2019
But 5 epic albums from 2019
1: Humanitys Last Breath - Abyssal
2: Thy Art Is Murder - Human Target
3: Shadow Of Intent - Melancholy
4: Wormed - Metaportal
5: Mylingar - Döda Själar
Listen to Duel and cloudscapes!!
You should give Auri a try. It's Tuomas band with Johanna (his wife) and Troy (nightwish)
Tuomas is a big fan of WD Ducks and nothing less than Don Rosa makes the wonderful drawing in here while two Johannas sing and Tuomas organizes all including the other instrumentalists together.
