    What can brown do for you? You’ll get comments that you should have done the Tampere version. Don’t worry about that. This version is fantastic as well, and has it’s own nuances. It’s darker, which helps, Troy uses an e-bow to create string effects, and of course, Mr. Dawkins in person. Tampere has it’s own awesome attributes, and you should watch it as well. Both should be enjoyed. This is an incredible journey through the history of life on Earth, and a true masterpiece in my opinion. WE WERE HERE!

  • @joekel55

    A FEW REMARKLE WORDS IN THE SONG.
    THE TAPESTRY OF CHEMISTRY:
    The periodic table of the chemical elements.
    AEON:
    Used in reference to a period of a thousand million years (especially in geology, cosmology and astronomy), its more common usage is for any long, indefinite period
    THE GARDEN:
    Not only the earth but also the whole universe.
    THE GOLDILOCKS ZONES:
    refers to the habitable zone around a star. It's the zone that has just the right temperatures for ( intelligent) life to develop.
    LUCA:
    It's the acronym for the Last Universal Common Ancestor, a key concept in the study of early evolution and life's origin that has been tracked by scientists for years.
    ENTER SANDMAN:
    Song of the group Metallica
    LUCY OF THE AFAR
    Collection of several hundred pieces of fossilized bone representing 40 percent of a female of the hominin species Australopithecus AFARENSIS In Ethiopia,
    Why was Lucy so important?
    In 1974, Lucy showed that human ancestors were up and walking around long before the earliest stone tools were made or brains got bigger, and subsequent fossil finds of much earlier bipedal hominids have confirmed that conclusion. Bipedalism, it seems, was the first step towards becoming human.
    DEVONION SEA:
    The Devonian is a geologic period and system of the Paleozoic, spanning 60.3 million years ..., called after the place Devon in the UK where rockes of that period were first studied.

      There are quite a few reactors on UA-cam who are singers and vocal coaches themselves, and they tend to notice such things. They also tend to be quite impressed by Floor. Just for instance, check out The Charismatic Voice (the channel of opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff). You will find some very technical analysis of singing technique there, but also deep respect for artists like Floor. From someone who is no slouch herself.

    The last minutes of this opus are beautiful. We see The Tree of Life. Battered and bare, but still holding the potential of new life. Then a recording of the evolutionary biologist Sir Richard Dawkins work. Sir Richard Dawkins then speaks. The audience grows quiet. He commands the audience. His speech seems antiquated, because it is. He is quoting Sir Charles Darwin: The Origins of Species. You hear waves lap along a shoreline, because all life begins in the sea. And the cycle of life starts again. So yes. There is beauty in this view of life.

    A wonderful reaction! I love your passion for music and the performance of the band members. I'm a lot older than you, but I had the same reaction when I first encountered Nightwish a couple of years ago. My daughter listened to them fifteen/twenty years ago and I never noticed them. I think I was so engrossed in my day-to-day survival in the rat race of my life that I wasn't able to hear the Nightwish music calling me to a more elevated and personally meaningful existence. Now I'm retired and I can't get enough. My wife bought me all the Nightwish CD's and DVD's last year for Christmas. I'm so happy to see you so engaged with this band. I think you'll see/hear all music through a different filter as you continue your reaction journey. Well done!

  • @isaiahwelch8066

    To put this song into perspective, The Greatest Show On Earth is a song that Tuomas made to take 14.3 _billion_ years, and boiled them down into 24 minutes -- when the song was originally 40 minutes. The reason for shortening it even more was had he not done that, Nightwish couldn't play the song live.
    And, just so it be said, Tuomas considers this song his magnum opus.
    And lastly, if you want to hear more from Tuomas, listen to the 8-track second side to Human :||: Nature, which culminates in Geraldine Butler reading from Dr. Carl Sagan's work Pale Blue Dot in a track called All the Works that Adorn the World: Ad Astra, with the translation from Latin being roughly "Praise be to the stars."
    Another song to consider is Shoemaker, which is dedicated to Dr. Eugene Shoemaker, the scientist who discovered that craters on Earth are caused by asteroids and meteors. Sadly, Dr. Shoemaker was killed in a car crash in 1997, and was cremated, with his urn being launched to the South Pole of the moon. He is the only human to be buried on a celestial body other than Earth.
    But to put this song into perspective, I'll close with this: To quote a favorite sci-fi show of mine called Firefly, we were here -- and that, good sir, makes us mighty!

      It was Troy who created the idea for this song. When he joined the band he gave a copy of The Greatest Show on Earth to Tuomas and walked him through it. It was he who wrote the letter to Dr. Dawkins and asked him to narrate from his book. His appearance in person at Wembley was an added treat. I was at this concert and the effect live was far greater than what we see here second hand.

    This truly is The Greatest Show on Earth... History of our solar system. Nightwish live is a dream. Thank you for continuing to react to Nightwish. This band gets into your soul. By the way, I saw them live at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco on May 18th. Awesome. Nightwish at Pinkpop 2022 was good. Hellfest 2022 was great. But Nightwish at NIGHT at the Deichbrand Festival 2022 just set a new all-time standard. The audio and video at this concert are better quality than Wacken 2013 or any other Nightwish concert. Floor and the entire band were at the very top of their game before another huge crowd. New songs, old favorites, and a swag that is unmatched. Floor Jansen, our Valkyrie goddess, is holding her closing notes longer and better than ever. Absolute perfection. Here’s the link:

    1:30 Noise
    6:57 Planet Hell
    11:40 Tribal
    15:50 Elan
    20:23 Storytime
    26:00 How’s The Heart
    31:05 Dark Chest of Wonders
    41:14 Nemo
    46:37 Sleeping Sun
    51:08 Shoemaker
    56:30 Last Ride of the Day
    1:01:20 Ghost Love Score
    1:12:30 The Greatest Show On Earth (12 Minute Version)
    1:24:18 Ad Astra (Finally! The whole outro)

    There was no sorrow or tragedy in Floor's intro. "Archean Horizon" was during the 2nd Eon of Earth's history (after the Hadean Eon when Earth was nothing but hot lava). There is BEAUTY in what she is singing and with what Tuomas wrote, no sadness at all. "Opus Pefectum" not tragedy. However, the tragedy is later when mankind RUINS the planet with "giant mushroom clouds" leading to a "grand finale"

      I don't think the song implies that mankind ruin the planet. The song listed human activites hunting, war, poetry, philosophy, science, just as history. Part of life, which the greatest show on Earth. and among al humans that will never get to be born, we won the lottery of birth, and Nighwish invites us to celebrate with them that we were here.

This is THE song for me...the one that has me sobbing at the end...every time. I listen to this multiple times a week and it slaps me right into sharp and deep perspective. We must strive to remember that despite life's pains and hardships, we're lucky to be here. Never let yourself forget...your life is now changed!

    Was great witnessing your journey through this masterpiece. Nightwish still plays an abridged version at their current concerts to then end with a new, but imo even more stellar grand finale: Ad Astra.
    Now, to complement the gradualist vision promoted by Dawkins et al. through this song, here's a docu for your kind consideration. To expand your views perhaps some more, an "encore" from the Electric Universe. Check it out, I have a hunch that you'll love it: "Symbols of an Alien Sky (Full Documentary)" - ua-cam.com/video/t7EAlTcZFwY/v-deo.html Cheers from Amsterdam!
