A very spot-on description of Emppu. After all, only virtuoso can work the magic of an instrument with such ease that he can goof around meanwhile.
And truth be it, Emppu is not the only virtuoso of the band. Tuomas, the composes, songwriter, and mastermind is something quite special, as well. My mother (classical education on the piano and organ) made after listening to several of their songs and dissecting the lyrics to really understand the meaning behind them the following, very interesting observation "This is a mind that probably works closes to that of Mozart in music or van Gogh in painting arts as we could ever hope to witness a second time."
Very rare company indeed, except that Tuomas Holopainen is deeper than Mozart seems to have been (as a person) for most of his life... Mozart was an unmitigated genius, Tuomas is rather a poet / philosopher. And probably (hopefully) he's not as raw as van Gogh. Although "The Poet and the Pendulum" or "Master Passion Greed" came close in their disturbingly vivid colors.
@@bigg2988Perhaps I should elaborate more on my m others perception of these two artists. To my mother, both did not just make art, they "felt" art. She has a great reverence for both. In her perception, Mozarts music is more than just the play from note to note, spinning a song, it tells a tale all by itself, following a system that is detached from the musical theory of its day and even of centuries after.
And similarly, she felt that van Goghs way of painting was not just capturing a moment visually, but telling how things came to be in that very place. For her, the "Starry Night" was not just a visual impression of a starry night that van Gogh saw. To her, she felt that van Gogh saw these stars "scream" at him from various distances, and he "felt" the torrents of space and time thrashing across the sky.
I know this may sound somewhat "drug-infused", but to her, this kind of expressions are the only reasonable explanation how these things could be perceived by the mind of a single human being.
@@ServantOfOdin Thank you man. Deep respect for your mother as not everyone can get off the ground, or break the glass surface, and sense what it is in the art that makes it different from a pastime, or an observation. True art HAS to be out of the ordinary, to lead somewhere and not merely follow. In that, she is correct about Mozart, and more so about van Gogh. They had extremely keen perception and gift of expression to transcend the "norms" of the time. Being, at the core, very different men. I was pointing at their individuality: the apparently unconcerned gambler Mozart, with music seemingly seeping out of him without visible effort, and the misunderstood loner van Gogh. Tuomas is not easily comparable to them as a being, but in his "feeling" of art there must be a unity with other "ocean souls" out there.
First-class thread, here ! This is pined at the top of the page.
@@bigg2988 True indeed, Tuomas is a much more integrated person than both Mozart and van Gogh were. And I also agree about the connection that these Ocean Souls must have, rare as though they may be, because not only drawing on similar forms of expression and even building upon eachothers powers in some form or the other is something you just don't do on a fancy.
And looking at Nightwish songs through the time, you cans ee that Tuomas was always working with at least two layers of meanings. "Angels fall First" is not less intricate as "FantasMic" or "Eva".
There are many great musicians, songwriters and composes out there (Jari Mäenpää from Wintersun or Chris Johnsson from Therion), but Tuomas is something that so far, none was able to compete with, especially on a long term.
“I will try not to be amazed by the words and the music” and “I will try to calm myself down” - don’t you dare do that!
We are here for Nightwish yes, but we are also here for that joy of yours and your infectious love of the music and the poetry behind it. Or, at least I am, and I doubt that I’m alone. So please don’t apologize for being you :)
PS: You made me tear up with your reaction. Thank you for touching a heart all the way over in Denmark.
I was so thorn divided in two. Understanding every words and feeling so strongly the music, this brought so much pleasure that I had a hard time to focus on the very serious topic of the song. I am so much touched by the cause of endangered species. I felt like being disrespectful to the cause. But, don't worry. In my calm music haven, I always be myself.
Guylain Prince I’m glad - watching the pure joy in your eyes when you heard this song was wonderful.
I had to take this one off the playlist I use for outside exercise because I didn't want to deal with people staring at me wondering why a grown man was crying in public.
I love this one ! Well I will have to be careful as well.
maybe more should have this on their list .. and it should be ok to cry in public... but yeah i dont know if i could handle it on my list
I'm a 17 year old Dutch guy watching an old Canadian guy speak French while reacting to a Finnish band with a Dutch lead vocalist...
What a wonderful world we live in today haha
En ik hou ervan op die manier !
And I love it that way !
l understand why people say that the music of NW helped them in troubled times.
So much reflection but without wanting to impose an opinion, no convictions.
The beauty of the lyrics, music, composition and extraordinary singing do the work.
I am grateful for what NW gives to those who want to receive it. so many layers to explore.
and you Guylain are doing a great job on it!!
You are right. Many of Nightwish's songs are of the "healing" type, justly called like this in the Gospel world. We sometimes say "soul soothing". With Nightwish, you also find another type of song : a "kick in the a..." anthem. We don't listen to each of these at the same time, in the same disposition. Both can be useful. You are so right when you say : so many layers to explore.
After My divorce two years ago Dark Passion Play helped me to deal my feelings.
I have been a fan and friends with Nightwish since 1999, listening to your reactions has given me a new perspective on the band. I am now seeing Tuomas as the genius he is, and he is more than that. It's the way his mind works composing the music and putting the lyrics to the music in such a way that they ttug at your heart and soul. Nightwish is not just a band but an entity unto themselves. Nightwish wasand Tuomas were put on this earth as a gift to all, and to give us a musical outlet to express our inner selfes. I am now relooking at all their albums, and it is in the early ones also, just not as defined as in Human::Nature.
You have become my all time favorite as far as reaction videos, you don't just react you analyze from a spiritual, Philosophical, and musical viewpoint, and you add the Theological view which gives a totally different view of the art form that is NIGHTWISH
Thank you
Telling you : he is special !
Tuomas started the writing process with this song. All the others came from this one. :)
Yes. No ambivalence here. It is the Key. As we could readily see from the reaction of a man who pays attention. :)
I could not believe my ears ! It was fantastic.
Just wondering, was I the only one who could almost hear the echo of “we were here!”, from the end of The Greatest Show on Earth while listening to this song? There are so many parallels between this new album and last one. Brilliant.
I think there are many parallels, even if I never gave full attention to the the previous one. The two albums I am familiar with are "Dark Passion Play" and "Showtime, Storytime". And I never listened quite attentively to the words.
Guylain Prince If you love this album, I think you’d adore many of the lyrics from the last album before Human Nature, since it’s centered around many of the same subjects. The album is called Endless Forms Most Beautiful :)
cette chanson est un chef-d'oeuvre de poésie, aussi bien dans les paroles que dans la musique. Ce nouvel album est difficile d'accès mais quand on se penche dessus comme vous le faites, il révèle toute sa dimension écologique et philosophique. Magnifique.
Je crois vraiment que c'est l'album le plus proche du chef-d'oeuvre qu'il m'ait été donné de voir, en temps réel. Les autres, quand ça fait 10, 20 ou même 40 ans que tout le monde dit que c'Est une chef-d'oeuvre, il ne reste plsu qu'à apprécier... Mais là. De DÉCOUVRIR un chef-d'oeuvre, pièce après pièce, pour moi, c'est la premièrefois. d'autant que je m'y plongeais sans me douter de rien. Ouch!
This is my favorite song on the new double album because of the storytelling & Floor's touching vocals. Even Tuomas said in one interview that Floor's performance in this song is the most touching that he's ever heard. P.S. Great story about guitar heroes & Emppu, full name Erno Vuorinen. He also has his own rock band called "Brother Firetribe".
Totally agree. Moving.
@@GuylainPrince Just to let you know, I finally decided to subscribe.
Emppu is not anymore Brother Firetribe´s guitarist. This year February he step down and Roope Riihijärvi is now officially their guitarist. Emppu said he is too busy with Nightwish, cannot be same time in two bands.
This is what band said officially: "Emppu steps down from the active role as a guitarist of Brother Firetribe due to lack of time. Simple as that, no drama, no fuss. Everyone understands the magnitude of a beast called Nightwish and all of us want to see them go conquer the world. Or two. What a band. With that said, he’s still our brother, stays in the team and you can actually hear him do his magic on the new album too. We got extremely lucky with having Roope Riihijärvi to step in and save our asses from doing nothing, which really wasn’t an option. This band is too much fun to stop now. On with the show, feel the burn!"
@@jukkahelminen9071 Thanks for the update. Fortunately you can still hear Emppu on all of their previous albums & also the latest one.
WOW ! Good terms split! It says a lot about the guitarist and about the man.
When you will finish listening to the album, you will need to go back to all the lyrics to all songs, because (no spoilers!) they are connected in many ways. I'm so dumb I didn't realize that until the fifth time or so I listened to the whole album (I was so amazed by the music I didn't pay much attenrtio to the lyrics at first...). Have a good time! I love your passion.
I will, you can be certain of that.
@@GuylainPrince The connections are not only between the song of this album, but between the song of the 9 Nightwish's albums. All is divine.
Tuomas weaving with a thread of many coloured yarn.
I caught a few references, will need to pay attention. :)
Yep. You totally got it. First time I heard this I was blown away by the message and the poetry in which he told the message. I think I stared at the wall for 5 minutes after that first listen.
Staring at the wall, for 5 minutes, yup! I could have done that also!
You reacted to this song as enthusiastically as I watched your reaction, having waited for you to reach this song ever since I found this fantastic video series. This is the song of which most of its essence lies in the lyrics and Floor's very emotional delivery of the words. The message permeates everything in the song. It's not a song with a real chorus but most just continuous verses, just like the name says. The gradual intensity of the music also shows that the procession of creation and life keeps building on what came before. Those two things deliver a nice, small paradox in that the continuation of the same also amounts to going somewhere new. All we creatures are DNA, but the combinations will create endless forms most beautiful.
As said, Tuomas' great creation is helped so much from Floor's delivery of the words. She is not just the powerful Valkyrie of metal, she can also sing with such tenderness and vulnerability and put so much emotion behind the words she is singing. Despite that this song doesn't have any grandiose parts for the singer, like Shoemaker did, this does really feel like a song to showcase Floor.
I eagerly await the analysis video.
Almost done. It will be published this coming Thursday, at 18:00, Europe time. I recognize the style right away. Traditional "laments" with a group of "We" signing to the 'gone' ! The words and the music are heartbreaking. Adding images is... well you know. We share a same passion.
Merci! My favorite song on the album, this melody with Floors singing is so beautiful. It's like a waterfall, just listening to her singing as the melody goes on...can't stop listening to it. Thank you for the kind words on Emppu, he is a great guitarist, and not many reactors notice him that much. He and Tuomas are the only members from the original Nightwish, he just loves what he is doing.
To be frank, I think the first song of Nightwish that I saw on internet was a son where he mande an exceptional solo. He impressed me from the start.
Your enthusiasm is contageous! At last a true Emppu fan! He works so hard in the background. He may be mischievous, but he doesn't mis a note (you can even see him fretting a chord while taking a drink mid-song at Wacken). He says "in his old age he does not feel the need to show off as much", but I Iong to hear a new solo from him, maybe in the next album!
One thing I have noticed as a pattern is that Tuomas likes to change his music sound to something more electronic (in the sense that it needs electricity) and heavier any time he introduce mankind to the story.
"We have been here a while" ... and one day will not be. Told to us by "those that will follow". I knew that you would love this track! I now find it interesting to see how Tuomas will approach the NEXT album. In "Noise" he warns "beyond the human horizon, something terrifying sleeps". In Harvest and Procession (as in The Greatest Show on Earth) he reminds us that our (species) time is finite. In Procession a 3rd person voice narrates almost "back in time" to us. "We remember....our kin...aeons ago". What is it that follows our species? AI? genetically changed or cybernetic "transhumanity"? Perhaps he will answer, perhaps he will leave it to us to interpret....as always!
For the "we", I chose a path close to Shoemaker, making the planets talk. As human works of imagination the deities they saw in the planets was "conforting", but a "false path". Well, make sure you react to my [ANALYSE]; the discussion will be a fun ride. Quite a complicated song, in fact. Thanks for the great comments.
@@GuylainPrince interesting! I must listen again in that light!
Listen to it in that way :
A Choir formed by celestial beings mourning the departed and, by the bed of the soon-to-be extinct human race, remembers the good time with them. Tell me how that sound to you. Expecting remarks from you in the comments section of the [ANALYSE].
@@paulmdevenney I see 3 rd person or being been Earth remembering the humans here before they destroyed it and hoping for a better new world order to come...longing for that. I just strongly feel connection to the Earth and her feelings.
@@Piia2023 I am coming around to Guylain's viewpoint. It's the most consistent in interpretation. I still like the motif of an *intelligence* that survives us, but taken as a full set of lyrics, I now read that the observer was there throughout our history (unless you go with a very poetic interpretation of a future party picturing what it might have been like to be human, based on their archeology of us). I will enjoy Guylain's dissertation for sure!
"Tasteful Virtuoso" is the absolute best definition of Emppu. He looks like a little hobbit or clown but he's one of the most intelligent guitar player out there. He has quite a few solos, but they all are very tasteful but not too showy. And he maintains all the time the guitar sound wall, so you don't find any lacking of guitars on Nightwish tracks ever. Bravo indeed! I'll come back with the "Procession" after your analyze video. Thank you!
👍
Well, it came out quite spontaneous, but the more I thought of that, the better it sounded. I don't know if you noticed: he often plays a little line, very discrete, with some of Troys solos. Just to give a little support. The instruments played by Troy are very difficult to stabilize. they can sound very differently according to the dryness or the dampness of the climate, etc. By doing that, he makes sure that Troy's line sounds perfectly on pitch, without losing the 'organic sound' of the Englishman's instruments. Being deeply at the service of the band's artistic proposition. To me it is the sign of a great artist.
Guylain Prince Emppu is one of the underrated musicians. He's actually magnificient. And Troy is more important with guitars than we notice. He plays some solos with E-bow. You should also check the acoustc version of "How's the Heart" where Troy plays the acoustic guitar. This performance is pure gold.
In fact, I saw both (Nemo and How's the heart). I loved them both. I recorded my reaction to HTH. Just did not have the time to publish it. Lots of time. Phewww!
Guylain Prince Good. Both of them are great. The intimate setting strenghtens their emotional power. And Floor and Troy are very likeable to watch.
16:10 "One of them will be human"... just as they show again the broken phone screen. The Black mirror. Fossil of us?
I did not get that ! You're good, Big G!
Great observation ! Not only does the black mirror represent human kind, if you watch the video on fullscreen, you'll see your face pop out at then end of it. What a powerful ending.
Quelle belle découverte que ces analyses que tu fais de cet album! Ta passion et ton enthousiasme sont contagieux. J'ai apprécié dès le départ chaque notes et chaque mots de ce chef d'oeuvre mais j'ai l'impression de l'écouter à nouveau pour la première fois grâce à tes vidéos! Merci de nous partager ces émotions!!!
Sébast, continue d'apprécier, car je crois qu'il s'agit d'un style d'album que je vais apprécier très longtemps. Je peux même te dire, dès maintenant, qu'il va être sur ma tablette, en première ou deuxième place. J'attends d'avoir fini de l'écouter. D'ici une semaine et ce sera terminé.
Greetings from Denmark, sublime reaction!!
Tuomas did say himself, that this song was Floor´s most touching vocal performance on the album, i agree on that, he also said the words migh would need a bit of digging, yes i see your point there Metal Mozart..lol.. i think this song is kind of the binding song to all songs on the album, at least the one that does it best.
This song is also a growing song, getting better with more listens, its so hard to rank the sdongs on the album, as they all are diffrent, and offer diffrent things, but yes another masterpiece right here!! thank you Tuomas..!!
I will listen to this album a lot of times, and for a long time.
Cher Guylain, je découvre vos réactions sur Nightwish, et je me demande comment j'ai pu passer à côté de votre compte. Vous me faites passer de l'explosion de rire à des larmes d'émotion. Et je ressens exactement tout ce que vous ressentez à l'écoute de ces chansons magnifiques. Grâce à vous, je peux enfin avoir une analyse des paroles en français. Je comprends très bien l'anglais mais je sais malgré tout que je passe à côté de tellement de subtilités... Sûrement des inférence que je ne comprends pas et c'est si frustrant. Mais grâce à vous je peux comprendre maintenant. Votre spontanéité et la justesse de vos mots me touchent ! Je suis fan de Nightwish depuis 15 ans maintenant, je les adore❤️ coucou de l'Île de La Réunion où je vis 👋🏼
Merci Morgan! Je tiens au côté français de ma chaîne, car je suis très fier de ma langue. Mon accent la rend peut-être un peu plus difficile pour certains, mais elle m'est chère! Par ailleurs, profitez-en bien. Et profitez bien des tradictions des mots, aussi! Vous verrez, les paroles prennent une envergure, en français...
Sometimes I feel the same way and think that I can't believe that I am also witnessing the release of this record...experiencing this music and the depth of meaning behind it! I am also so appreciative that you take the time to delve into the lyrics, the melodies, the meaning - and converse with others. I keep finding more meaning and applying more personal experiences to the songs on this album. It is a very human experience...how humbling and comforting all at once. Thank you again for a wonderful reaction :)
So nice of you to say ! Well, for me, it is very close to be the best album of my life. I don't appreciate the words of one song on the album, but that is all. The rest is A+ !
vous êtes une belle personne, Guylain. Ca a été un plaisir de passer ces 20 minutes en votre compagnie.
Quant à cette chanson, elle est lumineuse et sombre, initiatique.
This is my absolute favorite from the album. It hit me at once from the first listen from cd, ”We will remember all the suffering!” was the line that broke me into tears. Had to listen the song several times on repeat after that and I was ugly crying in my kitchen while doing my chores. After that I dived into the lyrics, made me cry even more but in weird way last verses made me happy. We maybe have some hope after all in this crazy world ❤️ Looking forward to your analyze.
Well, the lyrics of the songs are a bit grim... but not really ! :-) The story, told from the future leave the earth with a very bad ending. But, this song, sent to us from afar, is a wake up call ! Things might change but we have to act. Like, right now !
Dear Sir,
As a fan of Nightwish it was just a matter of time for youtube to point me to your channel. Thank you UA-cam ;)
The song Procession is in my humble opinion the strongest of the album and followed closely by part VIII of "all the works of nature wich adorn the world" , Ad Astra. On the second cd of the album. The timing of the release of Human Nature is remarkable and i have a hard time beleiving it is coincidence. I have my own thoughts with this entire album and i am very much looking forward to hear your perspective.
thank you for the video (and this series)
Fenna
Dear Fenna, musically, it is difficult for me to find a weak spot in this record. One song to go, for me. But I agree with you, most people underestimate the value of part B. Expecting your next visit in the near future! Peace.
Everything will be revealed in the next episode of "Lectio Musica!"
This is a mean cliffhanger!
(Loved the reaction, sorry that I cannot respond in French.)
Don't worry about the English. We all have to admit that it is the "lingua franca" of this kind of exercise.
Oh oui !! Comme je suis content que tu apprécies autant ce chef d'oeuvre !!! Je suis toujours surpris (et très déçu) que globalement elle se classe dernière (en duel avec Harvest) dans les classements que les gens font des différentes chansons de l'album :-(
Pour ma part, même s'il est très difficile de faire un classement (comme toujours avec Nightwish), je pense que si j'étais contraint de le faire je mettrais Procession en numéro 1. La musique, le texte, la voix de Floor, la façon qu'elle a de transmettre les émotions que Tuomas a mis dans les mots... Tout est là...
J'ai hâte de voir ton analyse !
Et à part ça, est-il possible de ne pas adorer Emppu ?? Je ne vois pas comment en tout cas !!
Ha ha ha ! Un beau mélange de phrase "lancée en l'air" et de bon sens, il me semble. Moi-même, j'étais surpris de ce que je venais de dire. Comme disent les anglais, ce fut un "keeper" instantané.
Danke Mönch. Always a pleasure..
You are welcome !
What a great reaction, dear Guylain.
Despite the symphony of flavors, it's all the same song!
...and there's a love of life running through everything they do.
Yep.
Love of life.
🥴
I'm a lifelong conservationist. A tree planter. A chocolate maker. A wildland firefighter, an occasional rescuer of animals... and it is that same love of life that ties my different lives together. Is it not miraculous that we are even here, that our living world is even here?
So what will we make of our little miracle?
As of last count, something like 20 unlikely things had to happen in our favor, for Earth to support life at all, let alone so beautifully.
Go, in JOY, and live, as if we're far more fortunate than anyone can say, than any words can say.
Thank-you, for everything.
Well, we share a lot of interests. And this sense of wonder and thankfulness to be here. Continue, friend from afar. It is nice to know that on the other side of the planet, there are people having the same heart.
Marvelloous reaction! This is one of my favourites. Interesting observation on Emppu! Sometimes his solos are very restrained, things that serve the composition.
I agree! Yes, it was a funny story. And I appreciate him very much.
i felt in love with your reaction videos. so heartwarming.
Ha ha ha ! Looking foolish many times, and off balance, but, hey! That's me. Feeling completely at home while listening to music.
Thank you so much for doing what you do, Guylain!
After I had heard the new Nightwish album for the first time I started to watch all the official lyric videos on repeat. When I got to Procession I kept on listening and watching it with tears in my eyes. That was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful musical experience with us. It means all of you. You have made an excellent choice and I'm glad to be here with you.
Thank you. It is a ratter complicated piece of song.
Floor : "in (the song) Procession, there is a message sent back to earth from a species like us but there’s no us any more we’ve been extinct. And it wants to tell our story. When Tuomas told us this, when I’d been singing it for a while, oh I could barely sing it after that, so beautiful, it touched me so profoundly."
One thing I know for sure about Tuomas. He sometimes play tricks; he likes to give "p-art of the information" to the fans. The whole album "Human:||: Nature" as a witness : it is almost the opposite of what he said (not a concept album). I always say : yes and no, this and that, when it comes to Tuomas. Clever man. Brilliant.
Merci Guylain pour cette réaction sincère et émouvante.
J'ai été bouleversé par cette chanson lors de ma première écoute, une sensation de procession funéraire.
J'ai hâte de voir votre analyse car je pense être passé à côté de certains détails.
A noter la voix chargée d'émotion de Floor, magnifique ainsi que l'intro synthé avec une sonorité "Stranger things".
We. J'ai catégorisé cette chanson dans le style 'lamentations" ou litanie. C'est belle et bien une chanson funéraire. Mon analyse sort jeudi.
@@GuylainPrince Oui, le "lacrimosa" d'un requiem. A jeudi !
What a joy to see your reactions, GP! You give me as a viewer such a pleasure with your excitement and involvement. And of course with your peculiar and funny facial expressions. And when we are both fans of Triumph and Rick Emmett and of course of Nightwish the entertainment you are delivering is like velvet around my heart. I think I found a soulbrother overseas...Greetings from the land of Saku Koivu. Keep up the good work.
I will certainly do a 5 songs series of Triumph one day. Rush will be the first Canadian group. After Epica and Nightwish. Soulmate, I like that ! Count me in!
Yes, you described Emppu just perfectly. It is so funny follow him (and also Marko) doing something funny, strange or just encouraging others. He is really perfect human on stage.
This was my favorite song from this album from very first time when listening whole album. Somehow, it just stand up there and I fell in love to it. Later, when these music videos came and I could see lyrics and video story same time with music, I fell in love to it second time. End went emotional... Now, if I listen it, always tears at the end. Just love that song.
Waiting your analyze !!! :)
Tomorrow ! Difficult song to interprete.
Been waiting for this reaction! Greetings from Finland!
il less than an hour ! I will be there!
Every time i watch this and those endangered species come up i need a tissue..
I just hope every one sees this and even some gets The message.
Beautiful and strong piece.
I agree, yes!
As always its a pleasure to be in your company Guylain. See you in part 2.
I will be there ! Thursday !
I love the part of Father Pikaia, i assume based on the short SF story "Worlds Enough, and Time" from Harry Torteldove describing a family space travellers in the cambrium period . On their vacation they visited planets and in this book describing their visit to planet earth. At the end of their visit to earth the daughter had an aquarium but by accident all enviromental unit of the aquarium died just the animals survived. Daughter convinced (against all rules) the Father to keep the animals alive by dropping the animals in the earth ocean. One of the animals was Pikaia. And after they left it resulted in an explosion of live in the oceans of earth. Maybe nice background for the ones who are intrested.
I know how much Tuomas love this kind of Science Fiction, so i am almost sure he read this short SF story.
thanks . Always nice to get some background information. For me it now explains the combination of the words Father and Pikaia (one of the oldest fossils related to vertebrates).
This could be a good backstory. The only thing is the continuous contact that is implied by the song. I opted for another option. Celestial beings, a bit like a Greek tragedy, being friends with humanity. Listen to my analysis, tomorrow, and tell me what do you think.
@@GuylainPrince I guess we could be quite close to our analysis, as you already said don't worry earth will survive, new beings will be born. For me Tuomas as an atheist could believe in something in the universe coming from that big universe to that little blue dot planting new DNA and create new life. (like Father Pikaia the time traveller did 35 million years ago, never take it literally with respect to Tuomas hahaha). Who knows maybe your celestial beings (more religious) can be replaced by something unknown like my Father Pikaia. Cannot wait to listen to your review.
Emppu are really the troublemaker, in a good way. He runs around, tickling the others, when they don't see him. And Floor is twice his hight.. :-). Another funny thing is about Tuomas. He don't have a normal bottleholder under the keyboards. He has a vinerack. He's a redvine-aficionado
Ha ha ha ! I knew for Emppu, but not about Tuomas. Well, the speed he plays some parts on the keyboard, he probably restrain himself until the end of the show.
@@GuylainPrince Even seen Floor visit him for a sip. Near the end of concert, ofcourse. Have ticket to se them in november, in Oslo. If the virus will let up.
Interesting for me as an atheist to see your reactions, even if you have managed to keep it secular. "In the end, only love remain"
Thx for your great reaction. In the procession video there's a book cover shown, it's Dutch (Het ontstaan der soorten) and means the origin of species. Nice touch to use something in Floors native language :)
It makes a LOT of sense. I was not careful enough. I recognize the book but thought it was german.
Cette chanson, à chaque fois que je l'entends, je retiens mes larmes, mais quand je vois le clip et la partie instrumentale avec toutes ces espèces menacées, je ne peux rien faire, ça coule tout seul...
Vivement l'analyse !
Ouaip ! Ben tu l'as pigée d'aplomb, celle-là ! Exactement ça.
ooo here we go again, will make sure I have the popcorn ready for this one :-)
Here is a privileged info : it is my preferred reaction until now. Or close second to Shoemaker.
Guylain Prince i thought you might like this one, this is also one of my favorites, Floor is magnificent even for her standards and the lyrics are thought provoking and brilliant as usual, can't wait to hear what you will find.
Please don't try to "not to be amazed" as music should be listened not just with your ears but also with your heart
See you !
Great reaction Guylain!!! Tuomas is a genius. This is so so beautyful.....now we wait for your analyse 🤗
Before 12:00, Canadian time. Around 18:00, Europe time ! Peace!
A pleasure to experience the video and your heartwarming reaction
Thank you !
respect to you emmpu is my friend
Such a great guy and guitarist. This meeting with musician friends was fun and surprisingly fruitful!
I have been looking forward to your reaction to this song and was not disappointed. It clicked for you right away.
For me this album as a whole has become my favourite Nightwish album. My favourite song is yet to come, though.
Well, I was not disappointed either. Glad you enjoyed !
You're so right, Guylain. Emppu is such a goof, even as he slays anything the song calls for, apparently without a shred of selfish ego, a humble clown, whose mastery of his craft graces the performance just enough.
And the whole band seems so very humble, a very endearing quality in rock superstars.
And their all pretty goofy, fun-loving people, who love what they do, and are so good at it that they can afford to clown around a little and still utterly slay it.
Well, you congratulate me for being right. I have to return the favour. When I read from your post "without a shred of selfish ego, a humble clown", I was disappointed that I did not think of saying it that way. This is what I think of Emppu.
Greetings from Finland. And big thank you for subtitles 😊👍
Most welcome, dear friend. You read them in English? In French? In Spanish? In Italian?
@@GuylainPrince English. It's My second best language just after Finnish. 🙂
On the 8th of September they will play in Toronto
I know that. They don't come in Montréal, this time. Sad.
@@GuylainPrince No they don't. They don't come to Romania either, but they will play in Budapest (which is reasonably close) and in Cardiff (close to where my sister lives) in December. So I'm planning to go. As a rock musician and a classically trained musician myself, with a PhD in Musicology, I'm in love with them
WOW! Great formation. You probably enjoy NW from a musicology point of view. I don't do much of that (just few notes here and there), neither on the image. With lyrics, I am already full ! :-)
@@GuylainPrince You're doing great! And you help me a lot remembering some of the French I lost during the last 20 years having nobody to practice it with, so thank you!
bonne vidéo comme d’habitude j'ai adoré la petit anecdote et sa ma bien fait rire X) (je voulais dire que je suis dyslexique c'est quelque chose que j'aurais du dire aux 1er commentaire) alors la je croit que j'ai compris , je vais de nouveaux regardé celle de "Harvest" et "Pan" et ensuit regardé celle de "Procession" pour confirmé ce que je crois si c'est sa cette allbum est incroyable ...... Tuomas....notre bon Tuomas ..... vraiment un génie ...je trouve que sur cette allbum on va de surprise en surprise c'est incroyable **O** merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo =)
Complètement d'accord avec toi sur deux choses. On passe vraiment de surprises en surprises. Et, oui, je crois que Tuomas est un auteur/compositeur unique en son genre.
it is gratifying to observe such a reaction to lyrics and music
I feel so blesse by this album. It is hard to tell how much I appreciated every minute of it.
I'm looking forward to your analysis of this one. Curious if you're going to comment on the use of color in this video. We've only seen the use of color before on Harvest (mostly yellow tones) and How's the Heart (a bit of red). Now, we see the endangered species in full color, in an otherwise black and white video.
Also: what might be the significance of the title of the book we see around 13:43, which seems to be the Dutch edition of the "The Origin of Species"? Why in Dutch?
You are right. I mentioned it in Procession. I noticed it in How's the Heart?, but I forgot to mention it. Did you noticed that the heart is red, but also some persons and plants (by the cliff) ? Wonderful taste.
sunday morning here in Germany and i finally made it watching and hearing this song for (only) the second time, it took me so long to click with the mouse, because the part of the endangered animals makes me real sad and makes me feel so bad, what we humans do with our planet and the nature....loved your story about Emppu, king of the pranks in the band, have a nice day and pls stay safe, i am now ready for your analyze, grts from the dutch cheesehead in germany, member of the nightwish army, orange legion
Peace!
i really like listen to you, whatever you tell. I even had to listen to your story about you and your friends twice, cause i am so amazed by you.
Ha ha ha ! Thanks! Well, it is a good sign.
Hi there!
Again, amazing video, can't wait to see the analysis.
It's kinda giving me a bitter taste though as we head towards the end of the first part of this album.
The Lectio Music you created is absolutely fantastic. So, please let me ask you:
1. Are you going to continue to make analysis of older Nightwish songs?
2. Are you going to dedicate a video for the second part of the album, all the works of nature which adorn the world? Please do, because it is pure gold.
Thank you again for your videos!
Greetings from Brazil.
For the second part, look on my channel : it is the first video I made, on this channel. Look for my name and the word [REVIEW]. You will easily find it. As for other Nightwish songs, stay tuned. After a 10 songs series of Epica, I will be back for a 10 songs series of Nightwish repertoire. It will be fun. Peace to you.
@@GuylainPrince Thank you! I'll check the video later! And for sure I'll stay tuned for what's to come. Epica will be awesome too!
I will be there ! Cheers!
Looking forward!!
I'll be there. Tomorrow night !
"In the face!", Well said Guylain and thank you for this amazing reaction :)
Yup! In the face !
thank you Sir!
A small word, Kai. I recorded my reaction vid to Tribal, Sunday night. And I prepared a small tribute to you at the beginning. I hope you will enjoy it. Peace, from Canada!
Ну за Nightwish спасибо! )
Не за что, дорогой друг Nightwish. Have fun!
@@GuylainPrince 🙏
i know emmpu he's a big personality, he even helped me once
He seems to be a very nice guy, yes! Not surprised at all.
Procession a galaxy of meaning! Cannot wait for this one!
Merci Guylain cette mosaique nous transporte dans un océan et un plaisir pour les sens!! Bien hâte de te voir décortiquer et faire une retour en synthèse de ce que tu as interprété depuis les premières chansons. Emppu est un glorieux avec une joie de vivre!
Alex Lifeson for life!!
:-) Merci !
I really like what you wrote! "Procession a galaxy of meaning!" I had to translate the rest with Google and I agree with everything. Emppu really shows that joy of life and Alex Lifeson is literally the "son of life". I'm a longtime Rush fan.
@@Vimana Thanks! Rush! Closer to the Heart! Never got to see them live! One of my childhood bands! Discovered Nightwish 20 years ago seen a young Emppu on the Wishmaster tour and an older one on Decades both in Montréal. Merci! Take care!
Imagine that : I saw Rush with the Moving Pictures Tour, and the one after (Dog with green cover). I remember the second so well : this fluo green everywhere in the stadium.
Great reaction again GP, thank you. At first I didn't like this song compared to the others on the album, but now I think this is my favorite. Floor's voice is so angelic. Fun fact: Emppu Vuorinen has a black belt in judo. He practiced judo from the age of 9 to almost the age of 20 and won two junior Finnish championships and a bronze medal at the Nordic Championships.
Are you kidding me? What a great thing to know. I went all the way to brown belt in judo myself. Another reason to love the guy.
Merci pour vos réactions, de vraies réactions.cela fait du bien d'avoir un avis francophone qui en plus comprend parfaitement l'anglais. Cette chanson est tellement bien écrite. Tout l'album est un vrai message
Oui elle est bien écrite cette chanson. Je fais quelques réflexions sur le style de Tuomas, dans l'analyse de "Procession" ; certains n'aiment peut-être pas. Je comprends cela. Pour ma part j'apprécie beaucoup.
@@GuylainPrince surtout continuer vraiment vos réflexions sont très enrichissantes
A heartfelt reaction, as I expected. Made me curios about your revelation.. See you in the Analysis video then.
Revelation ? Ha ha ha ! No, I would say that everything falls into place. At leadt for me !
ahoy captain prince .. hope you are well. i just saw your video for procession and yes ..great reaction video ..procession was actually the first song that tuomas wrote about human: ||: nature ..a very emotional one Song ..theTones of the song touch my soul .. as frankly the whole album .. but the procession is something special .. for me from multiple vistas so to speak .. but even if it is a sad song it is full of hope and the tones call to stand up and understand .. to remember and to remember but also to continue fighting and shows that it is necessary to fight in serious situations .. best regards
Beautiful song. The [ANALYSE] will be out Thrusday, 18:00 hour of Europe!
@@GuylainPrince I'm really looking forward to it but still I hope that you may not forget my question .. the question whether you have a connection to our decades in the Sun .. I think somehow yes and maybe that's not so unimportant :) .. piece
Well,... I have not listen closely to the Decades CD. I am sorry. But I will. One day, I will. Take care!
Oh I'm so happy I found channel! I'm commenting prematurely as I've only listened to 1.5 of your videos. I'm really looking forward to seeing what is your interpretation of and how you will deal with, if at all, with the worldview they set forth. They as a band have made some explicitly atheistic and antitheistic statements which I found so unfortunate, it is as if they cut the wings of or self-capped the experience ("this far, no further"). I understand it form one perspective but find it paradoxical when it is so obvious Tuomas lives in these patterns, symbolical, musical, visual, emotional... Anyway, I hope I don't spoil anything for you, I'm looking forward to you showing me they are being tasteful about this and I hope you can give some angle from which to approach this issue fruitfully and lovingly. God bless.
I am not sure if Tuomas is atheist. I think he is more "agnostic" : he does not know if there is God or not. So, he keeps is writing open. I am sad, yes, that he stated few very harsh things on some "religious behaviours", but I make them within the Church. I agree with most of them. He has an open mind to endlessness, both in time and space, even if he gives a limited interpretation of it. But I can cope with that.
You are so correct. Emppu is definitely the prankster in Nightwish. Always looking to play tricks and having fun, while still playing with taste and passion. I love your passion. Don't hold back my wonderful friend. We came to feel this music through your heart and soul. The look in your eyes is priceless! The ending did show extinct human. It was represented by the video screen cracked and broken. A leftover relic from a bygone species. You called it. Can't wait for you breakdown on this one. It is sung from a very unusual perspective.
"We are, singers of the gone"
We are, we were, and will not be
We remember, father Pikaia
Gave the way, as along came Sapien
We have been here a while
At the end of Pi, as along came harvest
We were there and will remember mankind
Our kin
Aeons ago
WOW ! I did not see the broken glass. As for the human being as an extinct species, I got that when I made the subtitles on the [ANALYSE] video. It was too late to include it. As for the meaning of the song, what do you think of the following summary :
By the bed of a dying planet, here is the lamentation of a Celestial choir mourning at all the departed, and especially the soon-to-be-extinct race that accelerated the last harvest.
Does that make sense to you? The breakdown tomorrow.
@@GuylainPrince I think you are right on target. However, one of the most intriguing details is the storytelling perspective of who is singing this song? "We are, singers of the gone". Who are "We"? Are we hearing this from evolved human souls or Afterlife human spirits, or possibly our extraterrestrial ancestors? also curios about what you think of "At the end of Pi, as along came harvest". Pi has no ending? However, Harvest is inevitable! I look forward to your detailed analysis tomorrow my friend. Peace and good health.
du miel pour les oreilles

Esta es la clase de musica que te sacude, te explota y te cuestiona absolutamente todo. No es una cancion mas... es una advertencia a la soberbia humana.
Simplemente es una obra maestra.
Estoy completamente de acuerdo contigo. Hay una visión del mundo que es muy amplia. En términos de tiempo y espacio.
Je suis complètement d’accord avec to. Il y a une vision du monde qui est très vaste. En terme de temps et d’espace.
You are the most beatifull person that I saw in ages!!!!
Well, that is an unexpected compliment. Thank you ! I hope you enjoy the videos and the channel! Cheers, from Canada.
True, one of the best from the album. After going through this album, do you plan on going back to the older stuff? Even though i saw it about hundred times, I can not say that I would not watch you rocking to some Wacken 2013 stuff. Quite the opposite :).
Yes ! I will do a series on Epica, beginning in two weeks, and right after this, I will begin a 10 song series in the pas of Nightwish. I will ask for the contribution of the fans to find 10 gems from Nightwish répertoire ! Be there ! ;-)
J'ai pleuré en regardant ça avec toi.
Ouin. Je comprends. J'étais "pris de court", comme on dit au Québec. Chaque chanson, pour moi, est une telle surprise.
This band is from Finland, where I live. Music has been a part of my life since childhood and it affects me very strongly. Nature and its beauty nature is also my passion. Greetings from Finland!
*** WE WERE HERE !!*** ** The LUCKY ones*** ** WE gott to DIE *** ** AND LIVE ***
Agreed. We are. Very lucky !
Non vedo l'ora di vedere e ascoltare la tua analisi. Penso di sapere il significato di 'I got you Tuomas ' ma voglio sentirlo dalla tua voce. Canzone che definire meravigliosa vuol dire farle un torto. É più di un mese che ascolto questo album e ormai sono arrivato alla conclusione che questo è uno dei migliori album che abbia mai ascoltato in tutta la mia vita. Ho 48 anni e ho iniziato ad ascoltare buona musica all'età di 8 anni con The Wall dei Pink Floyd. Da quel momento è stato un continuo andare alla ricerca di buona musica. Non c'è un singolo giorno in cui non tenti di scoprire nuovi artisti e quindi quella mia affermazione fatta in precedenza non è fatta superficialmente. Qui siamo davanti ad un lavoro che segnerà un'epoca. PS Sentire che Alex Lifeson è un tuo Guitar Hero mi ha riempito di gioia perché i RUSH sono il mio gruppo preferito. Non sarei l'uomo che sono oggi se non avessi mai conosciuto i RUSH
Caro amico,
Grazie per le tue gentili parole; sei davvero dolce. Dopo la retrospettiva di Epica e Nightwish, spero di fare una di Rush. Neil Peart è un eccellente paroliere. Sì, tante altre belle ore di musica, caro Massimiliano. Pace e bene!
Thank you for another great analysis. You struggled with the same questions I did. Who is the narrator? I think everything else will follow that answer but I still I still don't have the answers yet. Considered the science fiction avenue but I don't get the feel that he would promote the idea. Together now may mean simply that man is with the rest of the living in facing extinction. The end of Pi? Pi is an endless number. Is it a symbol of and "endless " procession that is ending Or has a greater intelligence completed the calculation. I don't think that the two cracked phones at the beginning and the end are inconsequential. I have seen Toumas say these are not pieces of a theme but we see again and again ideas from one song end up in another. The two phones bring me back to Noise and I don't remember the exact words at the moment but roughly "Something terrifying on the ?horizon waits. Thanks again. I always get thought provoking insights.
You got it for the phone. The end of all life is the "something terrifying, beyond human horizon". As for the "we", my two solutions are fully satisfying for me, or I should say, this perspective is satisfying to make sense of the song. We are being watched by a "choir" of people caring for the earth and the human race. Their age is tremendous, since they are their since the beginning of life. As loving parents, they watch the birth, the struggles and the near-end of their kin. There is regrets, like all of us have when we assist to the death of a loved one. For me, that it enough.
Really waiting for your analyses. 🤯
Almost ready. It will be on Thursday, 18:00 Europe time.
"Il devrait y avoir l'être humain. Il aurait dû..... " En effet, mais il l'y a l'espoir (que je ne partage plus). Salutations d'un amoureux d'Umberto Eco (Le pendule de Foucault, Le nom de la Rose...). J'ai conscience que cela peut sembler très "cliché", mais j'ai toujours associé votre ordre à la curiosité intellectuelle et à la sagesse et c'est un réel plaisir que de vous écouter. Pourtant je suis profondément évolutionniste-(darwiniste) et non créationniste. C'est aussi pour cela que cet album de Nightwish m'interpelle. J'ai hâte d'écouter vos analyses d'Epica (surtout les premiers albums) et peut-être, un jour, vos impressions sur le travail d'Einar Selvik. Avec bienveillance, VaalAsgaard.
Ahhhh ! Ce cher umberto. Oui, il a donné la part belle aux Franciscains, j'en suis conscient. En fait, nous sommes de tous les genres, un beau mélanges. Des gens simples, d'autres qui sont professeurs, des artistes, des intellos. Il y a un peu de tout. La fraternité universelle est sans doute notre identité la plus profonde, et le fait d'avoir une spiritualité qui intègre l'affectivité.
Very enjoyable video, Guylain! I too very much enjoy this song, but I will be quite interested in your interpretation of the lyrics as my own thoughts about them are a bit muddled! Peace and health!
The Lyrics are complicated and can be interpreted from different points of view. Here is how I make sense. The "We", a little bit like in Shoemaker, are personified planets and the moon. In Antiquity, they were considered gods or, at least, spiritual beings. Of course, Tuomas does not believe that ; but he uses this literary device to make a "choir of mourners" out of these celestial beings. To my knowledge, this is a very "Greek" posture. A celestial choir mourns about everything that happened on the blue planet, the past "harvests" and specifically the one about to come. They already mourns the "departed to be". Within a celestial time-frame, it will happen in a near future, very soon. A little bit like mourning by the bed of a person in palliative care. They enjoyed familiarity with the human race. They already regret their familiarity. That would be my guess. All of this is, of course, is open to discussion. Does that make sense to you?
@@GuylainPrince Yes it does, and thank you for your detailed response! I will be intentionally listening to these songs from a new perspective. Hope by now that you have made it safely home....looking forward to the 'Analize' on Thuirsday! Cheers!
At around 13.40 in this video, you see a picture with the Dutch title of the book Origin of Species by Charles Darwin, Het Ontstaan der Soorten.
Yup! What a video, and what a song!!!!
Patrick Rondat a ne pas rater aussi si on aime le bon son hard mélodique !!!✌️
Merci. Je vais y jeter un coup-d'oeil!
I like Joe Bonnamassa 😎🎶👍 espacially his colaborations with Beth Hart 💕👌👍 And in Finland Metal and Classical music are considered equals.
Well, to be frank, I will say exactly that in my final review of the album.
Yeah, Finnish Music Hall of Fame includes both Sibelius and Nightwish

De rien l'ami! Nous aurons beaucoup de plaisir à échanger. Bienvenue à vous!
Hurray for Alex Lifeson!
In my opinion, he's an underrated guitarist (and where we talk about the members of Nightwish as musical geniuses, the same goes for the three members of Rush. In music, as in their lyrics)
Thanks for another great reaction.
Ha ha ha ! In fact, I think that Neil Peart and Geddy Lee have the recognition they deserve. They are simply among the very best of their profession. But for Lifeson, under the shadow of two recognized virtuosi of their craft, might be overlooked. A bit like Emppu. In fact, it is the same with Michel Cusson. He plays with two accomplished and recognized musicians (Brochu and Caron). Him too, we tend to overlook them.
@@GuylainPrince Ha! Isn't Alex not just the same 'clown' as Emppu is? (remember Alex' speech at the R&R Hall of Fame 2013)
Quite some similarities there - from the outside though.
You are a funny one. I have thought the same thing in seeing that speech. By the way, have you seen the RRHOF performance of Geddy Lee at the intronisation of Yes? The sound, the grit, the performance. Absolutely perfect. A great tribute to Chris Squire, by one of his greatest fan.
@@GuylainPrince I looked it up; had to laugh at the comments "That Bass player is pretty good, they should offer him a job.
"
And Alex managed to say more than only blah blah :-)
He stole my heart anyway, when I saw this video ua-cam.com/video/_JTZcrgQ8xw/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/8_hAhzdk-h8/v-deo.html
Здравствуйте святой отец, очень рад что Вы послушали эту песню. Знаете о чем она мне напоминает? Есть великий фантастический роман русского советского фантастического писателя Ивана Ефремова "Туманность Андромеды". Там есть два момента - первый - где женщина-историк Веда Конг читает лекцию для далёкой планеты об истории Земли, зная, что информация дойдет туда лишь через тринадцать лет. Она описывает этапы того как мы, как цивилизация, развивались, через какие социальные потрясения прошли, прежде чем овладели технологиями и вышли в Космос, и второе - словно ответ, в принятой случайно передаче с планеты ещё более далёкой, практически недостижимой даже технологиями будущего, люди, очень похожие на нас, описали свой мир, во многом нам непонятный, и бросили клич в немой для них Космос - ответьте хоть кто нибудь, неужели мы одни в мире? Так вот, эта песня, как и Shoemaker, достойна того, чтобы быть посланной в мир, и услышанной как человечеством, так и теми, кто возможно существует вокруг нас. Туомас гений, присланный Богом в мир, что бы он там вместе с группой на этот счёт ни говорил. Рад что Nightwish есть и мы живём с ними в одно время...
Дорогой друг,
Я очень ценю ваше сообщение. Я не знаю, о какой книге ты говоришь. Я нахожу это очень интересным. Ты прав: эта песня - чистое чудо. Это будет очень высоко в моем плейлисте, очень высоко в моем плейлисте. Я с нетерпением жду, когда прочитаю его снова.
@@GuylainPrince Эта книга должна быть на французском или английском (скорее всего и на том и на том) должна быть издана у вас на Западе. Эта книга о мире, о дружбе, о едином человечестве вышедшем в Космос, отказавшемся от оружия и исследующем его в мирных целях на благо всех народов Земли. Очень возвышенная книга и очень созвучная нашему русскому мировоззрению. Если вы ее прочтете, вспомните об этой песне.
As I said before... can't wait. But have to. You are teasing us, like Floor does on her channel. Sigh....
Still have my reaction of Procession, Tribal and Endlessness. Plenty of good stuff coming out.
music and words inspired by God !
Inspired, yes! I love'em! Religious? Maybe not. But sublime, beautiful, I agree!
@@GuylainPrince God is in the air of universe, not in churches only !
At 13:43 in your video (then they saw the moon, and found caring) there's an image of the Dutch version of Darwin's "origin of species" ("het ontstaan der soorten").
I think this whole song is (again) a reflection of the "Laudato Si" / the encyclical from 2015.
It makes the same appeal to take care of nature.
I didn't know if it was Dutch or German, when I shot the [ANALYSE] video, but that makes a lot of sense. Compared to Laudato Si, I would say that both take a very prophetic stance in calling to action, to realize what is going on. The "look and feel" of the song is grimier than the Papal document, but I think it is a "literary device", pretty much of the same type used by the biblical prophets. Painting reality in black to initiate emotional/willful /active response. Laudato Si is more in the line of a "teaching document" in troubled times, asking for action.
@@GuylainPrince Well, Tuomas doesn't have the "burden" of representing anyone. If he (and the band) wishes to deliver a strong message, he can do so. And we're also further in time (and we're still doing too little, with also a lot of opposition thinking we're doing to much for nothing).
The band delivers a clear message, they make a strong statement. Not only by words, but also by their actions (by supporting World Land Trust for example, and even this night with Floor publishing a new song for WarChild).
I guess not everybody likes those statements. It's the freedom an artist has however, where a Pope probably has more difficulties to find a balance in his words.
We are way past due "paying attention to everyone's own sensibilities" and opinion. There is a global awareness to raise. Artists, sometimes, feel useless in the great theatre of our lives, having the impression that they cannot contribute to the debate. My opinion is exactly the opposite : songs can be vector of a new understanding, a new behaviour and a new imagination. To take the language of "Pan", imagination here comes to our rescue and helps us to imagine a world from another perspective.
Change pas on t aime 💀🤘🎶💥😇🌈
Merci , Roland!
Not a bad thing, but watching you here is like watching a child's delight at Christmas!
I will take it as a compliment.
j'adore vous ecouter parler de emppu moi fan de KAI aussi
Ha ha ha ! Je fais un hommage à Kai au début de Tribal. Il m'a écrit un petit mot pour me dire qu'il avait apprécié. Je pense que les gens ne réalisent tout simplement pas comment il est exceptionnel. Je crois que les fans de Nightwish, parfois, sont trop habitués à l'excellence. Une touche d'émerveillement devant des musiciens qui continuent de repousser leurs limites m"apparaissait nécessaire.
@@GuylainPrince oui c vraiment un batteur exceptionel
in Theology the word procession means the emanation of the Holy Spirit. So by your reactions, it seems to fit the song.
Ah!!! I did not think of that one. More the liturgical 'procession" or succession of walking persons. I will think of it.
Hello Guylain my friend, I loved your reaction to this magnificent song. It's the one song on the album that touched my emotions more than the others for some reason. Just the concept of some other intelligent life in the future singing about humans, just blew my mind. I was surprised at the begining of your video when you said you hadn't watched any of the Nightwish concerts on UA-cam. I really recommend that you watch them all. There are some spectacular performances like "The Poet And The Pendulum" from Wembley 2016 and "The Greatest Show On Earth" from Tampere 2015. Those two songs are a must see for any Nightwish fan. I'm not sure if you are aware but Nightwish did a short video introducing each song on the album. For this song it was Tuomas that introduced it. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/rIoQ-bP6xYs/v-deo.html.
Bonjour Guylain mon ami, j'ai adoré ta réaction à cette magnifique chanson. C'est la seule chanson de l'album qui a touché mes émotions plus que les autres pour une raison quelconque. Juste le concept d'une autre vie intelligente dans le futur chantant sur les humains, m'a tout simplement époustouflé. J'ai été surpris par le début de votre vidéo lorsque vous avez dit que vous n'aviez regardé aucun des concerts de Nightwish sur UA-cam. Je vous recommande vraiment de les regarder tous. Il y a des performances spectaculaires comme "The Poet And The Pendulum" de Wembley 2016 et "The Greatest Show On Earth" de Tampere 2015. Ces deux chansons sont un must pour tout fan de Nightwish. Je ne sais pas si vous le savez, mais Nightwish a fait une courte vidéo présentant chaque chanson de l'album. Pour cette chanson, c'est Tuomas qui l'a présentée
Listening to music is, for me, a ritual. I have hi-fi headphones, and I have a good chair. I close my eyes. Unless I am at a concert, I really LISTEN, closely. In practice, I have two DVD of concerts (Phil Collins and another one). And I don't have the reflex of 'looking" at music. Not anymore.
@@GuylainPrince I understand your reasoning and sometimes it's best to just hear a song and not be distracted by the visuals of a performance. With Nightwish though, because they have had two previous singers to Floor and there are no studio versions of the older songs performed by Floor, the only way to hear them by her is by watching the concerts. This is especially true for "The Poet And The Pendulum". Originally this song was sung by Anette on "Dark Passion Play" but when Floor performs it live, it elevates the song to another level entirely. If you know the back story to the song, when Floor sing it, it tears your heart out. It's the only song I can honestly say had me crying like a baby! It is something you have to experience. You won't be disappointed and you'll wonder why you didn't listen to it earlier! I look forward to your analysis of "Procession" and I'm curious as to what you are going to make of the next song "Tribal"! Take care and stay safe.
Je comprends votre raisonnement et parfois il vaut mieux simplement entendre une chanson et ne pas être distrait par les visuels d'une performance. Avec Nightwish cependant, parce qu'ils ont déjà eu deux chanteurs sur Floor et qu'il n'y a pas de versions studio des chansons plus anciennes interprétées par Floor, la seule façon de les entendre est de regarder les concerts. Cela est particulièrement vrai pour "The Poet And The Pendulum". À l'origine, cette chanson a été chantée par Anette sur "Dark Passion Play" mais lorsque Floor la joue en direct, elle élève la chanson à un tout autre niveau. Si vous connaissez l'histoire de la chanson, quand Floor la chante, cela vous déchire le cœur. C'est la seule chanson que je peux dire honnêtement m'a fait pleurer comme un bébé! C'est quelque chose que vous devez vivre. Vous ne serez pas déçu et vous vous demanderez pourquoi vous ne l'avez pas écouté plus tôt! J'attends avec impatience votre analyse de "Procession" et je suis curieux de savoir ce que vous allez faire de la prochaine chanson "Tribal"! Faites attention et restez en sécurité.
Don't worry. I have on my computer two concerts of Nightwish : Wacken 2013 and Buenos Aires 2016. I did not watched or listen the second one. Not much of the Decades CD, yet. I will, some day. I think it is a privilege to hear Floor (and Marko) sing the old stuff. I will certainly do !
Waiting the reaction for Moors, that is also ”pretty” nice molody, that may also hit quite strongly...
It is, no? I love the second part.

N'est-ce pas spectaculaire? C'est une chanson magnifique!
I wish, Your reaction would be subtitled in English...
There are subtitles. Just click on the "CC" (Close captions) at the bottom of your screen, and select "English". Peace!

Evolved humans from the far future (referring to us as Sapiens, they are Human ...) able to time-travel? Studied history and found it necessary to come to us to deliver a message?
Yup! That would be the "sci-fi" solution. Because of Endlessness, I would prefer the "antiquity" solution, but by itself, "Procession" can be both. No doubt.
