    I'm 56 years old and have heard A LOT of music in my lifetime. I have probably heard this song/seen this video hundreds of times, and still tear up every time I hear it. One of the most amazing and beautiful songs ever written. Well done on your review, and fear not, if you DON'T tear up listening to this song, then you really have no grasp to just how vast and wonderful our universe really is. And how insignificant we as humans truly are in the grand scheme of things.

      I like this version more, but when they played live at Wembly, Prof. Richard Dawkins was actually on stage saying these. I hear the band was totally starstruck, while Dawkins, having given hundreds or more lectures, was terrified because had never before stood in front of 12500 crazied fans.. :)
      And yes, The Greatest Show on Earth is a book by him.
      The speech at the very end "creatures most beautiful and wonderful are still being evolved" is borrowed straight from Darwin.

    I think it's a powerful message when they chant 'we were here'. At this point of the song, they were singing about the end of humanity, the inevitable time when we are no more. They aren't shouting to the heavens that we are here, for someone to notice us. It was a celebration that after everything is said and done, we lived and that is amazing. WE WERE HERE!

For example the first part where all are gathered around the fire (all planets around the sun) entering the goldilocks zone (the habatable zone around the sun, not to cold or to warm) and then where time "enters LUCA" (LUCA is the scientific origin of life, so the first living on earth)

      cording to Glansdorff et al. (2008), “the first diagnostically identifiable Cyanobacteria

    It took him 2 1/2 weeks to write 21 minutes of mastery. Because of their Wish I Had An Angel, used in the closing of the movie "Alone in the Dark", I have been hooked on Nightwish since 2004. I have all of their studio cd's, and the last 4 live DVD's. Well worth owning all of them. Toumas is truly a master of his craft, and he has the best musical team to create his art.

    Thank you so much for this reaction. I am a Nightwish fan from the first time 1996 and i am a 64 year old man and every time i see the music of this band, i have tears in my eyes. I am so lucky to see them two times live on stage, 2013 in Wacken and 2018 in Oberhausen Germany. Many reactor do the same as you, but nobody of them look the videos until the end. The end shows how much fun this band has on stage. Once more time, thank you for this.

    The biggest quality I observed since I started listening to Nightwish more than 2 decades ago is their songs are usually deeper than the pop or country songs we (or most occidental people) usually listen. And they evolved during their career in a way such a beautiful song is possible. 😍

    I've been a huge fan of them ever since just before they released their first album back in 1997 (since my friend had somehow obtained the demo album via the internet from hanging around on message boards about this upcoming band).
    So glad you have found them, every song of them takes you on a journey :) If you ever find a Nightwish song that doesn't click with you, you just aren't ready for that particular song yet, and one day it will click and you will wonder how you didn't realize the genious of the song earlier. This has happened to me a couple of times
    For other Finnish reactions, maybe do ISMO's (Ismo Leikola) stand up, half of it is in Finnish and half of it is in English. Chivalry is dead, the word Sh*t, and World debt are good ones to start with.
