Couldn't have said it any better, my friend. 🤘❤️🤘
Top 5 Nightwish performance in my book! 🤘📖🤘
Agree 💯% 💥
One of my absolute favorites!😁🤘🤘🤘
Yes, mine too. This one and 7 Days To The Wolves from Wembley Arena 2015.
First :
Troy is playing an Electric Bouzouki ( A musical instrument popular in Greece. It is a member of the long-necked lute family, with a round body with a flat top and a long neck with a fretted fingerboard.).
This song is against organized religions based on tribal religious texts, especially The Bible, it's not against personal faith in some Deity. However, one should realize that all those religious texts are & have been interpreted and used to justify unimaginable cruelties, persecution, discrimination etc., the worst being the idea that man is separate from nature & by some divine right above all other lifeforms, which explains the current almost catastrophic state of our planet.
lyrics are spot on - so many fractures in our world have a root in the fantasy that each of the religions/sects/whatever are THE ONE way. This song speaks, with anger, against the fact that we humans are destroying ourselves and this world based on a power structure that needs to be made obsolete - we ALL deserve better.
I LOVE this Song . Especially Floor's Freddie Mercury pose at the end . Speaking of Freddie ,....Floor's first band After Forever did a Cover of Queen's song "Who Wants To Live Forever " :
Who Wants To Live Forever ua-cam.com/video/yPLtgu2pPic/v-deo.html
Here are some band comments about the songvand the making of the album:
MARCO: What comes to the new lyrics,
"Weak Fantasy" was the only one that
actually hints at ancient tribal literature
We obviously realized that religion is a
touchy subject and that we'd have to carefully consider the tone of the lyrics. It's still funny that you can publicly criticize and mock art and politics as much as you want, as well as artists and politicians but when you stick your finger in the hornet's nest of religion.. uh-oh.
TROY: We were working on "Weak Fantasy" for quite a while. Tuomas originally used more direct, aggressive metaphors, but in the end, we decided to opt for a more ambiguous tone. Some people might still find "Weak Fantasy" confrontational, but you can have different interpretations
M as well. The wisdom is in the eye of the beholder
TUOMAS: We discussed this stuff with the band for hours on end, and everybody stood behind the lines in Weak Fantasy" for instance. In Nightwish, I have never felt the need to neither rebel nor preach, and that hasn't changed, but if the listener stops to consider different viewpoints because of our music, that's always great
There's never enough open, intelligent, and unprejudiced discussion in the world.
Marco- There's obviously nothing wrong with leaning a higher power per se.
A belief in something supernatural can comfort you and help you get through the day.
But its just horrible when people use ancient religions as an excuse for their own utterly condemnable acts or to instigate senseless indiscriminate hatred towards others. Blind fundamentalism seldom leads to m anything good, whether you bow to Allah. Jahve, Jesus, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or something else.
TROY: As the wisdom goes, if you could
reason with a fundamentalist, there would be no fundamentalists.
TUOMAS: It's only during the last years that l've started to question my own religious stance. Why have I been a Lutheran and believed in the kind of God Lutherans do? It's simply because I was born in Finland in the 1970's. In another culture, in another time, there would have been another god above others. In 10th century Denmark, I would have worshipped Odin and Thor. If I'd been born North Korean, I would've been forbidden to believe in any kind of Supreme Being
In other words: what you believe in - or what you think you believe in - is based on pure coincidence.
TROY: It's baffling, but some of my friends are actually afraid that I will be cast into the fiery pits of hell. I can only compare these dear friends of mine to chain smokers in this respect: they know it's unhealthy, but they still refuse to quit.
I don't understand why people believe in something without any proof, yet laugh at other similar beliefs I mean, if I were to claim that you can live to be 150 by eating just yoghurt, nobody would believe me. They would ask me for some kind of proof and research
findings. Why can't they apply this logic universally?
TUOMAS: To be precise, I consider myself an agnostic atheist. I don't believe in God, so that makes me an atheist
How do I know that God does not exist?
I don't, but neither does anybody else.
That's why I am also an agnostic. To confess that you do not know something is actually an intelligent and constructive stance. It makes you humble, unlike a blind belief in m something unproven
NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.
Thank you for all of this information and your input. I too believe organized religion has done this to themselves. A long and bloody history.
But you see, faith is not needing any 'proof'. Although, I'll tell you this: My wife was a ghost hunter when we met. I was a big skeptic but decided I would approach it scientifically and collect data and run experiments if possible. I can tell you with complete honesty that i personally witnessed things that defy explanation such as very clear voices we caught on tape responding to questions, for instance. I became convinced that there was something more beyond this life. I don't understand it but I began to believe that there's something to it. 🤘❤️🤘
@@BemusingBill Agreed! I have seen and heard pretty interesting things myself, although, Faith and Religion are different things. You dont have to be religious to have Faith, you can be good without god. My faith rests on to my fellow humans and to myself. In my country (Estonia) there is a saying: If you cant help yourself, even god cant help you.
Keep up the good work my friend, and fellow brother in arms in Nightwish Army 🤘😎🤘
@@TimoArula Considering how I've only ever heard the word "faith" being used, I see it as a 100% negative thing - to a large part exactly _because_ it requires no evidence. Is there even _one_ belief that one couldn't "justify" with faith? How about " is better than any other"? How about "I need to kill my children in order to save them from a terrible fate if they should grow up"? ...
Seriously, is there _any_ redeeming aspect of faith - and of course _only_ faith (not trust, not hope, not confidence or anything else)?
Epicness right there on that stage. A corker of a song and live performance, one of so many with all the trademark Nightwish transitions and multi layering 🙏😊👍❤️
What a message to the three book Religiouns 🤘
I suppose. Maybe the Pope is a big Nightwish fan 😁😁
@@BemusingBill hihi🤘🤗
So Great!
Thanks for the reaction! This is one of Nightwish's best. "Tribal poetry" - what a statement - I love it! An interesting thing to do is to listen to the instrumental version of this song (i.e., where the vocals are removed) so you can hear the complex symphonic foundation. It's amazing!
Thanks, Mossy! That's usually where my brain goes to first. So much going on in this musical masterpiece. I'm listening to it again as I type this!
Yes, this is an absolute work of art, regardless of where your beliefs lie.
🤩👍💥💯🎼
Such a Banger as being a BIG 'question mark" as a whole, lyrically...
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Thank you so much for reacting to this. it is one of my favorites. The music, the vocals, the lyrics are all perfectly on point. The thing I love most about Nightwish is that they assume that we are intelligent, thinking beings. There is almost always something to sit back and think about in their songs. I remember that the first time I listened to this song, I had to go look up the meaning of necrocracy. And, this isn't the only song I have had to check the meaning of words on. I love that they are making me stretch, in my thinking and my learning.
I am so glad! It's a great song with so many layers. Yeah i was thinking, since necro- means dead and -cracy must be like bureaucracy. Looked it up and basically, North Korea is a necrocracy. I love art that make me think and makes me dive deeper. I do have another Nightwish song on the shelf which we'll publish soon. Thank you so much dear friend!❤️
❤ love it
Tampere concert Floor's Parents where in the Audiance. Talk about Floor's parents, her mother suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and with Floor always on tour with her past bands she wasn't at home enough to support her so feeling the pain of guilt and sorry for her mother's condition she wrote a song called Strong. This was back when she was in After Forever.
Maybe no guilt, just in honor of her understanding, & her mother’s journey.
As someone that suffers from RA too, I think I wan to hear that song. Thank you!
It can't get better😍👌!!
I said that on my very first reaction to Nightwish and every single song of theirs I've reacted to after that. Always 🔥
❤️👋👋🇫🇮
@@BemusingBillThat's Nightwish 🙏😊👍
Came here for Ayreon, saw the video is Weak Fantasy by Nightwish, wrong upload I suppose. Since its one of my favorites, I’m not complaining! 😂
Shi&&&&&t , My bad 🤣🤣🤣 That is a 1st for me to mess up like that.... I do apologize ... Thank you for bringing that to my attention ... and glad you still enjoyed NW ... I salute you ! Much love to ya 🤘❤️🤘
nice, just what I needed 😉
Troy plays the bousouki (Irish)🤟🏻🤟🏻
Thank you for that! Looked it up so I can learn all about it.
🤗🍒🤘🏻
🤘❤️🤘
UK Senior Division checking in. 👍🤘
Thank you for checking in, much love to ya 🤘❤️🤘
One of my favorite songs 😊 As NW finnish members, I was born in Finland in 70's, I was raised somewhat lutherian. But in real life I've been agnostic atheist, solid mix 😃
I've opposed organized religion since I had my first own thought (pretty young) but to validadet that tought by reading these "big three" books. And I'm still an atheist agnostic. My father was also like that his whole life and mother had her inner believes.
This song is about organized religions.
Yes, that is Richard Dawkins, you will also hear him when you get to this Tampere 2015 or Wembley 2015 show opener "Shudder Before the Beautiful". About 20k here at Tampere Ratina stadium. Troy's Irish Bouzouki is more closely related to the Mandola , than the mandolin. Prime example of a band with a keyboardist and no bass player: The Doors. This song, from the Endless Forms Most Beautiful album, is a criticism of the Negative aspects of Organized religion. Not opposed to having beliefs or to religion itself.
Btw, Tampere is a 3 syllable word. When you get to "Stargazers" from this show, you can hear Floor pronounce it.
Duuuuuude! I was actually thinking of The Doors as I was saying that. I feel the same as Nightwish on organized religions
Bill!!! My whole life I felt that G*d 'gave' me life/never doubted/here I still am, turning almost 58, having had a rough, but beautiful and sometimes mystical life/never lost hope, always love people more and more and I LOVE Nightwish forever/whatever belief or non-belief they or we 'believe in', caus love is love and will be forever love! Hoi, Rich, NL.
I've learned that this song is not so much about atheism but more like a critical statement about religions and religious manners - when they make you harm yourself by constant guilt and shame and control.
God is a great thing 🙌 "Manmade" religions? Not so much
Absolutely agree 💯
Marco’s big brother Zachary Hieta is giutar virtuose. They have own band named TAROT. Y must see Tarot Wings Of Darkness 2011😊
Yes! I've been wanting to check out Tarot for quite some time. 🤘❤️🤘
If you havent heard it you should check out their opener from Wembley 2015, Shudder before the beautiful. Its an amazing showopener imo!
Cool! Thank you!
The easiest way to figure out how to pronounce 'Tampere' is to listen to the beginning of 'Stargazers' from the same concert. Floor will let you know how to pronounce it. 🤘Greetings from NW army Maui 🤙
Not atheists. Tuomas has stated he and others are Openly Secular. They are not overly critical of religious people. They just want us to be more loving and not live in fear, which is the focus of most monotheist religions.

Yes, I can see your point. There are some Protestant denominations that are not about 'fire and brimstone' and eternal damnation and are far more about acceptance, tolerance and love, but it's not that common sadly. I appreciate the links! Thank you🤘❤️🤘
@@BemusingBill I think Tuomas' grandfather was a minister.
Hi Bill, greetings from UK
I think it is a misconception that they are athiests. I have heard that Tuomas once said that the religion you are indoctrinated into as you grow up is largely a matter of geography. If you are born in India you might be a Seikh, in UK a Chriistian, in Israel a Jew etc. Because these religions teach different things how can we know what the truth is?
This song was written when there were stories all over the news about the abuse of people by the Catholic church. This is just a cautionary tale about organised religion
There is an Easter Egg in this song, but I can't see it on your video. Right at the very end of the song it flashed up very quickly in the background the words "WAKE UP OR DIE"
In the song 'Sleeping Sun' there is the lyric "sorrow has a human heart, by my God it will depart"
In the song 'Romanticide "God love and rest my soul"
In the song 'Last Ride Of The Day' "What's God if not the spark that started life"
I think they do believe in God, they just have an open mind as to what that means. By "them" I mean Tuomas and Marko as they wrote the lyrics
I see! Thank you for that, my friend! Big difference between religion and spirituality. Great examples for those great songs🤘❤️🤘
I'm Christian, but I also sympathize with the perspective of this song. Organized religion throughout history has been responsible for some very bad stuff, and ancient texts tell some pretty horrific stories. Every child _does_ deserve a better tale than a lot of the dogma of the past. Personally, I believe that my religion and evolutionary biology are not mutually exclusive, and I also believe that particles of truth come from many sources including, but not limited to, science and ancient texts.
I'm completely with you on that, my friend. Also Christian with a scientific background, so I fully get what you are saying and can agree. I think there are those that forget God is nature, God expresses millions of years in one short sentence whereas science extracts information from all those millennia to come up with hypothesis and understanding. when God said 'Let there be light' He didn't have to explain exactly how a star forms and the hydrogen atoms it burns and converts to helium, etc., etc. That, he left up to us to figure it out. At least, that's how I see it. Thank you, my friend!
Troy is definitely atheist as are a lot of folks from the uk myself included religion seems to have slipped a lot over here compared with the US not a critism I respect everyone's beliefs. Great song and reaction, thanks Bill see you for the next one🇬🇧
There are part of the US that are much more religious than others, hence the 'Bible Belt'. I live in NY so not so much. Lots of churches in town with dwindling congregations. Many stand empty. Thank you for watching! Cheers!
If necessary they play with tree guitars.
Yes, they can be flexible to the songs needs.
Great song. I like the energy and all members but Marko is deeply missing in this band.
Yes, indeed. I just read that some of the tour dates for Marko and Tarya's upcoming shows had to be postponed due to his health issues. I hope he's all right. He's a great guy.
This was probably my least favourite track on the studio album (though since it's my favourite album of all time that's only relatively weak), but it's so massively enhanced live!
If you don't mind me asking, you said you _were_ an atheist for a very long time, I'm assuming that means you are an atheist no longer? If true, what are you now and how did you come to see things differently?
I don't mind you asking. My mom is a Roman Catholic and my father was a non-practicing Jew. They never pushed any of their religions on me and my bother and sister unlike my cousins. I have a science background: started pre-med when I went to Purdue University and was an anatomy & physiology teaching assistant running several labs a week and teaching around 30-40 students. The deeper I got into science the more I started to see these really strange things that science couldn't explain. Usually, they would say, it's just a coincidence. But wow, there sure were a LOT of these 'coincidences'. So I thought maybe there was a 'creator' or something and I considered myself agnostic. My wife had a ghost hunting group when we first met and I was a big skeptic. But then I witnessed phenomena that I tried to explain but couldn't. It made me believe that there could be something beyond this life. Don't know what, but something.
My wife became a born again Christian when she was 27. We would argue all the time about religion! I would point out the contridictions in the Old Testament. Or ask, if there is a God, why would he do that? She wasn't very convincing but she was steadfast! She always had her points.
It wasn't until the day my grandmother passed away. She was a very devout Catholic, from Portugal. Three days before she passed, my mom had a dream that her father, who had passed several years earlier, came to her in a dream and said he was coming for her mom and that it was ok and she'll be ok. Freaked my mom out because it seemed so real and she had never dreamt of him before. On the morning of her passing, my grandma woke, took a shower and got all dressed up (she was 85 and usually spent the day in a nightgown or robe unless she had to go out) she seemed to be getting ready to go somewhere. Even put her coat on! She sat on the couch and quietly passed.
When I heard all of this it was like a wave went through me. I can't describe it. But it was right there and then I decided I wanted to be Christian. It was like I was compelled! Driven! It was my wife that baptized me and I've been a soldier in Christ since. I (we) don't follow any denomination I just try to live my life by the teachings of Christ. I don't knock anyone's beliefs or lack thereof. Everyone has there own path to follow I believe.
My wife and I still argue about stuff in the bible, though lol. Much love to you, my friend❤️
@@BemusingBill Interesting... a scientist who looks for the supernatural when faced with questions he can't answer? That's... different. I'm curious why you made the jump from agnostic to Christianity, specifically. Why not some other religion? Or just deism? And did you suddenly forget the biblical contradictions you had been pointing out to your wife? Or did they no longer matter? And if there were questions you couldn't answer when studying science, what made you accept the very dubitable claims made in the canonical texts?
Also, the thing about your grandma getting up and dressed the day she died - that's actually quite common. If you talk to hospice or convalescent hospital workers, they'll tell you countless stories about how people on death's doorstep have a sudden burst of energy or consciousness just prior to death. In fact, it's often a sign the end of life is quickly approaching and that it's time to call in the families.
Thanks for answering all these questions. I'm just super curious as I don't come across many atheists-turned-deists. It's usually the other way around.
