I'm 73 and I am the last man standing in my family. So this performance runs deep, cuts deep. 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 there that I have not heard before, and it just breaks you. 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. The poetry of this song is also heart-rendingly exquisite. It is a poem, a prayer, an elegy. Listen to it. Just listen to it. Tuomas’ poetry can easily stand alone. 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.
Lanternlight is destined to be one of those most sacred Nightwish songs, like Swanheart, Sleeping Sun or Shoemaker. Everytime I listen tears roll down my face. It´s incredible beauty!!!
Floor slayed this whole album, and particularly this song, despite the fact that she had given birth to her second child six weeks earlier and was still recovering. She couldn't travel, as she could barely stand up, so her vocals were recorded in her home studio. What a goddess.
In an interview, Thuomas said that they had planned 2 weeks for the recordings, Floor sang all the songs in 6 days, as he praised. But you also have to say that Hannes and Floor's studio has professional equipment, as the songs they recorded there during Corona show
Yes, it is. But this song offers such hope. And so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. 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. 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.
You have to react to Sissel Kyrkjebø performing "Going Home". She is the national treasure of Norway and her voice is gorgeous. Sissel performed on the soundtrack to movies like Titanic and Lord Of The Rings.
This also made me think of my mom. She would cry in face of beauty, be it a poem of a piece of music. I'm the same way and sometimes this song makes me cry because it's sad, sometimes because it's so beautiful. The ending sounds perfect for scattering the ashes to the sea.
Tuomas est un claviériste et compositeur incroyable, une fois n'est pas coutume, il nous le prouvent encore et floor, quelle voix merveilleuse quand elle chante ce style de chansons, elle aussi, elle est incroyable 🎼😍♥️
Such a beautiful and heartfelt reaction! My condolences on the passing of your Mother. I have watched it dozens of times and it always hits me in my feels. The new album, Yesterwynde, is the final album in the trilogy of Endless Forms Most Beautiful and Human Nature that explore concepts of evolution, science, nature and most importantly, what it means to be human and our place in the universe. Laternlight is the last song on the album but the first one that Tuomas wrote. Composed back in 2021 after the passing of his father. It 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 instrumentals that have a similar feel. The line "I am you who climbed off your back" is straight out of Decades in the Sun and of course "To the meadows I go" is tapping into the same symbolism and meaning as the song Meadows of Heaven. A heartachingly beautiful song and a perfect bookend to the album and trilogy. A beautiful tribute to everyone that is the lantern light guiding friends and family through our journey of life. Tuomas has sad this is not a sad song but a love song. That 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.
So. I am sitting here this morning with my coffee. I'm watching this reaction for perhaps by now a dozen and a dozen times .. today once again, starting a new day .. and dammit .. tears again.
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.
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. Big hug ❤
Lost my dad when he was 53. Just dropped down dead in a foreign country. Now almost 25 years ago. He often visits me in my dreams. 99% great, 1% well deserved spanking :) Used to (semi-)hate it the first year or two, because inevitably you had to wake up and face the cold reality, now I cherish these moments. Beautiful reaction, thank you !
Sadness-happyness Darkness- light Disappointment-hope Ice-warmth All emotions of our lives, traveling in time, from the past to the present. Words like "perfect" and "wonderful" are not enough to describe this result of Tuomas's music and Floor's vocals. Also the music video of course. Thank you Nightwish ! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Pandora - you beautiful adorable woman. While I love this song so much - it is my favourite song of 2024 - I have to recognize that listening to you reading the lyrics is even more satisfying and wonderful. You show such a passion and emotion doing it, I had a second flood in my eyes after the usual one always getting from Floors singing. So let me thank you very much for that and all the best for you. I see your grieve about your mom - mine also is gone 2 years ago. But the idea of her always follow me thru the rest of my life in moments it is needed..... isn't that a wonderful imagination? Greetings from Germany
Thank you very much for your deeply felt reaction. This is my favourite song of the new album; I always tear up when listening to it. Gone is the hurt, the wait, gone is the warmth of day. A stray boat saved, happy memories engraved, on into a velvety night, beneath a lanternlight. Last night brought the heaviest of snows melting the songs of old, tying the boat, write a new one soon, sending me to the drowning moon, far above a lanternlight. I'm in the light and flood, I'm in the four winds, I am the waves shaping pebbles flawless gems, I am the snow on your palm. I am the secret stream, moss beneath your feet, I am you who climbed off of my back not long ago, a sheltered song in a world now gone, petrichor, the timeless. Turn loose the swaying boat, meltwater, sound of spring. I hear our song now, sung by the free, for a thousand more tomorrows of an incomplete weave. To the meadows I go, I’ll be waiting for you once upon a lanternlight. I walk now toward the trees, I am the secret stream, the night falling at my feet into the forest of Yesterwynde.
❤❤❤❤ this song by nightwish has got to be one of the greatest songs ever written and floor does it proud as always while listening to it you get taken down memory lane and you reminisce of both good times and sad times of things you've done in the past and the people around you who have passed into another world ❤❤❤❤ absolutely beautiful amazing fantastic what more can I say nightwish you are out of this world xxxx tq in the uk
Such a beautiful song, and an equally beautiful reaction, as always - this song is so achingly beautiful, and then your tears make it almost too much. Tuomas wrote this for his Father, who passed in 2022. Hope you're OK x
Hello from Phoenix. This album is so wonderful from beginning to end that there are no words to adequately describe it. And closing with this lovely ballad is perfect. Thank you for this emotional reaction to our lovely Floor and the incredible talent that is Tuomas Holopainen... and Nightwish as a whole. Loved it.
The genius of Tuomas, be it from melody, arrangements, power, space, softness, structure, lyrics makes him - as another reactionist said a musical Mozart. Their videos that add visual emotion to the emotions themselves just shows the deep imagination that flows through Tuomas' writing and composing. Add the storytelling and vocal ability of Floor and you have a pairing 2nd to none. Not to forget the rest of the band on the albums who all understand that it's all about the music...... They talk of Lennon/McCartney, Jagger/Richards, Gilmour/Waters, Mercury.. But add the contribution of Holopainen... EPIC!!
Thanks for sharing your emotional reaction to this masterpiece from a similar album. P.S. Sorry to hear about your mother. t lost mine in 2022 & Tuomas wrote this song to celebrate the life of his father, who passed away in 2021.
I take this song as Tuomas intended. A celebration of the time we had with that person. I am ever thankful that for my step-dad’s sudden passing, his funeral included lots of joking and laughs and upbeat music by a jazz band. We came to celebrate our time with him.
I often cry whilst watching this video. Floor knows how to elicit every gram of emotion from a song. I cried, again, when you read the lyrics with your velvet voice.
Lovely reaction and interpretation from lovely lady. Thank you. Even I am middleager, I still got both of my parents. I think it is again good time to call them! I was very touched both from music video and from your reaction.
Tuomas said this song is about celebration not sadness yet he wrote this song in honour of his fathers recent passing and i can't help but feel sadness for him. Is it just me?.
Tuomas lost his father during the composing of the new record as well. Sorry to hear about your mother. She still lives in your heart. I hear our song now, sung by the free For a thousand more tomorrows Of an incomplete weave To the meadows I go I’ll be waiting for you Once upon a lanternlight
He did indeed, to quote Tuomas: "The last song on the album, Lanternlight, might fool you into thinking it's a sad song, but it's actually a love song and ends up on a very positive vibe. If you have somebody who has lived a very happy and a really long life, it's a moment of celebration and not of grief. This is the message we want to send."
Hi Pandora, Starting deep and low... This sounds like her solo album, I think Tuomas likes the variety of her singing. Floor said that she chokes up too easily with this song, the band rewinds, during the sessions, to let her recover. Mmm, the warmth of her voice. “Last night brought the heaviest of snows” That sad piano about to sink below the ice. “Melting the songs of old” Reminiscences, love of the souls that have gone before. Tuomas wrote this in memory of his father. The pocket watch to wind... The old style film projector, a “Magic Lantern”. The old flickering movies, like memories. Floor soaring away. Celebration of their lives, rather than mourning. Did you get the Tuomas déjà vu references? “I am the snow on your palm” [Storytime?] “I am the secret stream” [Sagan, Shudder Before The Beautiful, Endlessness?] “Moss beneath your feet” [My Walden?] “I am you who climbed off of my back” [Our Decades in the Sun?] “Petrichor” (with a hint of green) [The smell of fresh rain on grass, Last Ride Of The Day, Song of Myself?] “Timeless” (with a hint of a smile) [Perfume of the Timeless?] “To the meadows I go” [Meadows of Heaven?] Then Troy drifts in, with his soft voice, he made up the word, so his pronunciation, is our guide, _right at the end_ of the album. :) Pope Leo Xlll, who served until his death in 1903 at the age of 93. Timing at the anniversary of your Mom passing. Yep, tissues are needed.
Oh have you heard Floor sing Mama? That's a great homage song to character of a mom. Pair that with Winner both live off of Beste Zangers show, those songs will be home for you.
I'm 73 and I am the last man standing in my family. So this performance runs deep, cuts deep. 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 there that I have not heard before, and it just breaks you.

Kiitos to all of you in Nightwish for delivering such epic and emotional story telling.
Beautifully spoken 👏 Thank you and bless you 🙏
Lanternlight is destined to be one of those most sacred Nightwish songs, like Swanheart, Sleeping Sun or Shoemaker. Everytime I listen tears roll down my face. It´s incredible beauty!!!

It is. I just give it a hug every once in a while & let it roam free again.
Maybe we shouldn’t try to tame it.
You have to react to Sissel Kyrkjebø performing "Going Home". She is the national treasure of Norway and her voice is gorgeous. Sissel performed on the soundtrack to movies like Titanic and Lord Of The Rings.
@@Sebastian-qm9si I agree. Sissel is such an underrated treasure.

Tuomas wrote this song for his father who died on 2021, its such an emotional song. one of the best i heard in my life
100%
This is such a beautiful and emotional song, the lyrics are powerful and Floor's vocals are stunning
Tuomas est un claviériste et compositeur incroyable, une fois n'est pas coutume, il nous le prouvent encore et floor, quelle voix merveilleuse quand elle chante ce style de chansons, elle aussi, elle est incroyable 🎼😍♥️
Wonderful reaction. Thank you. Thank you Floor and Nightwish for this warm hug.❤❤❤
I'm in the same place with how this song effects me I have 70 years of memories.
This is a beautifully sad song. I tear up without even listening to the lyrics.
Thank you for this beautiful personal reaction to this outstanding song.
Such a beautiful and heartfelt reaction! My condolences on the passing of your Mother. I have watched it dozens of times and it always hits me in my feels. The new album, Yesterwynde, is the final album in the trilogy of Endless Forms Most Beautiful and Human Nature that explore concepts of evolution, science, nature and most importantly, what it means to be human and our place in the universe.
Laternlight is the last song on the album but the first one that Tuomas wrote. Composed back in 2021 after the passing of his father.

I think this song and Epica's Tides of Time will be the songs for my funeral when I pass.
So. I am sitting here this morning with my coffee. I'm watching this reaction for perhaps by now a dozen and a dozen times .. today once again, starting a new day .. and dammit .. tears again.
My condolences, October 11th will be 9 years that my wife passed in her sleep unexpected, we had no closure.
Pure Floor. I love this song.

What a gorgeous piece of music composed by Tuomas and so emotionally sung by Floor.

Big hug ❤

Lanternlight and an ocean of strange islands are my favorite songs of the new album. I loved your beautiful reaction.
This hits straight to your soul. 🥹
Your mother lives in you. Always with you.
Sadness-happyness
Darkness- light
Disappointment-hope
Ice-warmth
All emotions of our lives, traveling in time, from the past to the present.

Also the music video of course.
Thank you Nightwish ! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Floor tells with her voice and her hands how beautiful and fragile life is. Timeless.

Thank you very much for your deeply felt reaction. This is my favourite song of the new album; I always tear up when listening to it.
Gone is the hurt, the wait,
gone is the warmth of day.
A stray boat saved, happy memories engraved,
on into a velvety night,
beneath a lanternlight.
Last night brought the heaviest of snows
melting the songs of old,
tying the boat, write a new one soon,
sending me to the drowning moon,
far above a lanternlight.
I'm in the light and flood,
I'm in the four winds,
I am the waves shaping pebbles flawless gems,
I am the snow on your palm.
I am the secret stream,
moss beneath your feet,
I am you who climbed off of my back
not long ago,
a sheltered song in a world now gone,
petrichor,
the timeless.
Turn loose the swaying boat,
meltwater, sound of spring.
I hear our song now, sung by the free,
for a thousand more tomorrows
of an incomplete weave.
To the meadows I go,
I’ll be waiting for you
once upon a lanternlight.
I walk now toward the trees,
I am the secret stream,
the night falling at my feet
into the forest of Yesterwynde.

So so sorry for your loss 😢😢😢 and thank you for a amazing reaction
Absolutely beautiful song...😢💔
Amazing reaction as always! ❤
Wonderful and sincere reaction to this incredibly beautiful song.
And, if I may say, you’re beautiful too! 😊
As sad a song as it’s sounds, Tuomas has actually came out and stated that this is a love song to celebrate life and relationships
He did indeed, to quote Tuomas:
"The last song on the album, Lanternlight, might fool you into thinking it's a sad song, but it's actually a love song and ends up on a very positive vibe.
If you have somebody who has lived a very happy and a really long life, it's a moment of celebration and not of grief.
This is the message we want to send."
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 Great great job Pandora, what an amazing song huh 🎶🎼
This song just strikes straight to my core. ❤ I cry everytime.
Loved your reaction.. ❤️❤️ And best of all lanternlight videos...
Thanks ❤❤❤
🐕pandora your a radiant point of light yourself really love you ❤
Great reaction!
Hi Pandora,
Starting deep and low...
This sounds like her solo album,
I think Tuomas likes the variety of her singing.
Floor said that she chokes up too easily with this song,
the band rewinds, during the sessions, to let her recover.
Mmm, the warmth of her voice.
“Last night brought the heaviest of snows”
That sad piano about to sink below the ice.
“Melting the songs of old”
Reminiscences, love of the souls that have gone before.
Tuomas wrote this in memory of his father.
The pocket watch to wind...
The old style film projector, a “Magic Lantern”.
The old flickering movies, like memories.
Floor soaring away.
Celebration of their lives, rather than mourning.
Did you get the Tuomas déjà vu references?
“I am the snow on your palm” [Storytime?]
“I am the secret stream” [Sagan, Shudder Before The Beautiful, Endlessness?]
“Moss beneath your feet” [My Walden?]
“I am you who climbed off of my back” [Our Decades in the Sun?]
“Petrichor” (with a hint of green) [The smell of fresh rain on grass, Last Ride Of The Day, Song of Myself?]
“Timeless” (with a hint of a smile) [Perfume of the Timeless?]
“To the meadows I go” [Meadows of Heaven?]
Then Troy drifts in, with his soft voice, he made up the word,
so his pronunciation, is our guide, _right at the end_ of the album. :)
