- IT IS FINALLY HERE!!! The Poet and the Pendulum!
This is the LONGEST video I've uploaded. I'd recommend making sure you have set aside the time to view this, or view it with an "intermission" LOL. I paused the video/song at each musical section for my reaction and commentary.
It's my honor & privilege to bring you my impression and commentary of this EPIC story. I have spent weeks learning about Nightwish, with the last 2 weeks viewing Tarja's performances and learning the backstory in an effort to be ready to experience this song.
I knew I couldn't rush into this one. I used video clips and poetry to help illustrate the emotional state this song will always portray. I learned how to edit, so I could give this song the presentation it so deserves! This is my way of honoring and respecting the poignant nature of this masterpiece.
Dear Tuomas……."I shall forever stroll through the corridors of your heart".
(Now, I can FINALLY watch other reactors review this song!)
Special Thanks to the Nightwish family for the backstory information, for helping to guide this journey, and all the comments and friendship and love. Thank you for your patience. I needed to be 'ready' for this one!

I think it’s safe enough for me to speak for every Nightwish fan when I say that we really appreciate the time and effort you’ve clearly put in to make this video extra special for us and it was an absolute pleasure to watch you experience this emotional rollercoaster of a song. Thank You
Well said! Thank you Kelly
Yes, thank you so much for all your research and effort in commenting on this song.
Absolutely!!! ❤️🤘
Soo Well Said and noticed 🎼💎🙏🏼
100%
YES, YES, YES, You understand this song!!!!! And I cried again!!!! And I love it!!!!! Thank-you Kelly you really brought it all out there!!! To say AWESOME reaction just is not enough. Thank-you
Kelly ..you pulled this off like a champ ..beautiful and emotional breakdown of the song and the intro interview with Tuomas was Awesome ...YOU DID THE NIGHTWISH ARMY PROUD ...BRAVO !!!!
I am speechless, what a masterpiece of a reaction, just like the masterpiece being reviewed. This is a level no reactor has ever reached before..
I agree, and I also want to mention " Rebecca vocal athlete" ; ua-cam.com/video/W2mCU00siFE/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/J0dFVQuuJZ8/v-deo.html This guy just did his reaction video earlier this week. He also did research on the back story before listening. It also left him in tears.
This guys also has lots of Nightwish Reactions and he often goes thru the back story in hour long videos. Highly recommended: ua-cam.com/video/ujicUfyYKko/v-deo.html
No thank you Kelly. The video was amazing. I told you before that you have gotten the essence of Nightwish. You showed it again. I am not sure anyone could do this song justice but you. Thank you for taking the time to put this beautiful video together............
I loved every moment, even the early mornings before work and middle of night insomnia's I spent researching, digging deeper, learning the editing, perusing through my vault of poetry, listening to Tarja, taking in suggestions from the NW Army with documentary, interviews, etc. I tried to take in as much history as I could find over the past couple weeks. I knew it was what needed to be done.... I'm drained emotionally, lol.... but it's a good place to be. BTW: Robert Shimek asked me to tell you "Hi" so, ……. HI.
@@KellyDeaconKDzJOY God bless you Kelly...........
Hi to Robert.........
Best Nightwish reaction EVER, thank you!
WOW love your reaction the tears flow again so moving ......
This band is tighter than closest family in the world, its amazing to see the connection
Always having problem with my eyes with this one 😂
Every time I listen to it.
Thank you for this Kelly. I really appreciate all the effort and preparation you did for this. The backstory truly is needed to feel this song the way it deserves to be felt. Beautiful reaction ❤️
I have everyone thank so dearly for their helpful input on 'how to proceed' for this most epic and beautiful and personal song. Yes, the story is a 'must'. I'm so glad I did the research, and got into Tarja's music with Nightwish too...… Lea, everything happens for reasons, and their journey is an example of the evolution of their creativity. Thank you for being here.
@@KellyDeaconKDzJOY thank you Kelly. Say Hi to Ann Waychoff fer me lass.
Will do @@warhammer5690obert!!
I don't think I've EVER seen someone understand a song so completely. Your reaction, emotion, breakdown. You Are a treat my Luv!! 😍
Hello Dean. The thing about Poet & Pendulum, is that it's not leaving my mind, I've been pondering the lyrics for over a week now, and I can come up with more in depth meaning and how to tie it all together with the backstory. I am tempted to record a further analysis and share it. I can see so much in the writing.
Wonderful Kelly, wonderful!
My Tears coming out with youres, in Memory of my own Depression, long ago..
One Face for the Worldt, i don't wanted to see, hear, speak., sitting in my dark Castle of Life..
Thank you and a wonderful Weekend
To add another layer of genius to this masterpiece, from the moment in the poem the boy says "Now I only have 3 minutes and counting" to the moment Tuomas "commits suicide" (slashes his hand across his throat) is 3 minutes!
Whoah.......wow I'm glad you shared that. There's always layers of meaning. Thanks Brian!!!!
Beautiful reaction Kelly.
Love all your reactions to Nightwish songs, but this is my favorite song and my favorite reaction.
I was crying with you...i've listen to this some 1000 times and must have cryied in half of them.
Loved the production, the images of Tarja...all perfect.
Thank for doing what you do.
This is not just a reaction chanel, it's much more.
Big kiss from Portugal.
I like your cool graphic transitions. You've become a tech head since you started! Nice review! Awesome song by an awesome band
Magnificent reaction ! Thank you Kelly. 😊 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
For me your reaction was a feast :) Loved your approach to all the elements, starting with the documentation, then with the lyrics, to understand the true meaning of the song. One of the best reaction to P&P I've ever seen so far. Thank you.
For the record, I didn't expected less from you.
congrats.. this is by far my favorite.. youve the best reaction ive seen to this(sorry everyone else)
oooooh... i just clicked this and cant wait
I am a grown 59 year old that always chokes up during mother, father. Like right now.
doug marcus I’m 63 and still every time I hear this song my eyes begin to water!! The wonders of music. Where words fail, music speaks!
@@edwardrizzo936 I'm 74, all of the same for me too.
@@572Btriode I'm a 63 yr old woman who had heard this song enough times that I had finally stopped crying when I heard it. Until now, with Kelly's truly caring and heartfelt AND knowledgeable understanding and breakdown of the lyrics. For some reason she managed to bring back those feelings/emotions of the very first time I listened to this, and I find myself weeping again. Kelly has such a unique gift of love and compassion....Thank you, Kelly....🌟💫💛
@@cinderellsworth Thank you. I agree, Kelly did a very good job indeed. But it gives me much hope that there are sensitive and caring people out there.
God bless you!! No other reaction channel has taken the to explore and appreciate this masterpiece. Your depth of exploration and sensitivity is truly meaningful to all Nightwish fans. Well done!
Being someone that has dabbled in poetry for a few years, I knew in order to do this justice, I needed to methodically review the way they interacted, the story and events leading up to the inspiration and release of this time for Tuomas. Thank you Randy.... The "Deacon's of the Deep" are storming the gates now..... : ) How cool.
Never have I pushed a 'play' button as quickly I did now. Day after day I checked your channel to see if 'it' already was published. You said you would take your time to prepare for The Poet and the Pendulum in order to get a full grasp on what message it represents and above all how it came into existence. Now I'm sitting here full of awe for the energy and above all love you put into this reaction! A reaction truly befitting this masterpiece: emotional, touching, awesome. I so very deeply wish Tuomas will ever have a look at your hommage. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Kelly! You moved me deeply and you're a real diamond among the reactors!
I'm crying again.......if only tuomas would see he is a muse placed here to inspire the world. We need to somehow make sure he knows. That would be amazing? Wow.
The fact that you informed yourself about the song meaning before actually listen to it shows a lot of respect for this piece of art, the one who created an those who made it possible. Thanks for that. Great reaction, as always. Thanks for sharing your genuine experience as well.
This must be the most beautiful reaction to this song i have seen here on UA-cam.
Thank you for taking the time to do the research on the background!
This is the way how everyone should approach to this song - the backstory should've known. Listening and watching to this performance like thousands of times I've shed a whole pond of tears. The last part always gets me! It is so damn beautiful! Thank you so much, Kelly, again - you're the best!
even just those three vocal onsets at the absolute end are enough to make me stay still
No, actually both reaction types are interesting: those who react without knowing the background and those reacting with the knowledge. It brings different interesting things to observe to the surface. E.g. without knowing the background you can still grasp the meaning behind the music. And it's fascinating to see those reactors. They cry, although they don't even know anything about the song. The music transports the meaning this much.
@@nebucamv5524 I'm really happy you added this to the comments. The reason is this..... I assumed anyone without any knowledge would see the talent, beauty, and emotions, but I wasn't so sure they'd fall deep without knowing the backstory. The performance of music and lyric transcends research..... THAT is something not of this world. Wow... I'm glad you mentioned this, and the comparison of those that do research, and those that have no info. Excellent point.
Purest. Reaction. Ever. Poets truly understand each other.
What a beautifull and insightfull reaction, Kelly. Very well done. Almost everytime I watch and listen this performance, napkin is needed. With your genuine reaction I made record of tears shed. The combination of understanding the song's backround + lyrics + the melody + Floor's voice that can trigger the deep emotional nodes, just hits the very core. With someone else who understands and feels the song, emotions gets amplified tenfold.
Thank you Kelly for sharing your reaction with us.
Totally an honor to share this.... thank you jeppe.
THIS IS A MASTERPIECE .... of a reaction video. The most beautyful and artful way to present this masterpiece of music. The intro, your own poems (backed with softly music parts) , the graphic transitions, all your time spent researching and as always your wonderful comments and emotions ... WOW, it's so ....YOU !!! I was hoping that this would be very good , but you have surpassed yourself. PERFECT!!! Thank you very much, Kelly.
I never imagined to say this of a reaction video; what a BEAUTIFUL reaction. Thank you for spending so much time in researching and editing. A master piece!
as a person that writes poetry, I knew in my heart, I owed it to Tuomas to thoroughly review the information, so I could be absolutely ready for this one.... it was the right thing to do..... thanking everyone for their patience.
@@KellyDeaconKDzJOY Thank you so much for this gift from your heart. The time in researching the backstory....the compassion you so vividly portrayed in your commentary. And the tears....you made me cry to this song for the first time in a while. After you hear a song often enough, the emotions begin to "even out" and you stop crying. Well, you brought those emotions back through your reaction and commentary. Thank you, again, Kelly. You are a rare gift to us all.....💖 Sincerely, 🌟💫💛
Thanks for watching the video. It's a tour de force of Floor as a singer. It's lost in the lyrics, but she evokes the emotions of the parts perfectly in different singing styles.
For moment i thought you were going to listen to the album version (with Anette) but luckily you picked the live version with Floor. She put so much more emotion into the song.
Hi Ronald, the NW Army directed which video to react to..... they were instrumental in me finding the right video! I wrote it out, and taped the URL on my refrigerator door, so I'd not lose it. : )
@@KellyDeaconKDzJOY Good to hear that you put so much effort in to making sure you picked the correct clip. :-)
A glimpse into the heart of a pained soul. Thank you for the deep dive into this Hallmark of Nightwish and Tuomas Holopainen.
That was a beautiful reaction by a beautiful person to a beautiful song. Thanks for the work put in.
Did I mention it was beautiful?
Love the intro with Tuomas. Wonderful reaction! This one always brings me to tears.
Thank you... This is one of the most in-depth reviews of this song I've seen. And I really like the transitions, they are so subtle and appropriate that they don't interrupt the flow of the song. And the poerty in the intro and outro of the video - it's beautiful. Thank you so much for your time and effort and especially for your sincerity. Your channel is a rare thing.
I love how Floor sings this song. She puts all the emotion into it, even though it's not her story.
Now THAT is how TP&TP is meant to be appreciated. Thank you, Kelly!
Wow!! Absolutley awesome reaction. I love how you have spent so much time and effort researching this song and creating this amazing reaction video. Loved the added poertry was a nice touch. Hats off to you kelly. You are my favourite nightwish reactor. It would be amazing if the members of the band got to see this reaction.
This was the most perfect and beautiful reaction for the most perfect and beautiful song ever ! It was an honor also for me to watch it and enjoy . Again my tears came out and lead me astray to dreamer ! Thank you so much for this beautiful video 🖤🤘🤘
Beautiful reaction, I really appreciated your dissection of the lyrics
Thank you Deb.
Thank you for your reaction video. You gave me a lot of new ideas on how to understand certain parts of the lyrics.
Before I heard your interpretations on the song, I was concentrating more on the music and missed the beauty of the text.
Made me cry once more listening to this masterpiece.
Just wow ... one if the best reactions I ever saw to this song ... wow ...
Really liked you researched this song before reacting to it. And I loved you including that interview with Tuomas =)
This was an epic journey! Thanks for your commentary!
last part is so emotional, you can really see how the band is putting their heart and soul in to this masterpiece
Very emotional song,thanks for great reaction.
OMG ❤️ This is an excellent reaction. Thanks Kelly.
I have to add more to my comment. Again, thank you for you effort, time and work for this video. This must the one if not the best reaction/review/commentary video for this song. I truly believe that Thoumas will be proud of you.
Awe jose. Thank you for your kind remarks. It was my honor.
A fantastic commentary for a this piece of music and some really neat editing. I am always willing to give this song 30 minutes of my time, almost always. One of my thoughts was that Tuomas might have been more willing to let Floor sing it, because he knew that she had gone through some bad times herself with the burn-out and everything and would make it count at any rate. Floor herself had a song that was extremely difficult for her to sing. Thanks for brightening up my day as it is quite cloudy and rainy here. Have a nice day, Kelly.
Immortall1408 Thanks, i doo not can say this with my bad English, but it's realy my Thoughts.
Best reaction to this song I've heard yet. I knew you would really appreciate it. Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much for this reaction. All of us really appreciate your enthusiasm and understanding!
You are right, you don't understand how deep this song is until you read all the backstory and until you watch the performance. It's really amazing how they support him during the song and how he sings the last part silently..
All these moments make me wanna cry every time I watch this video.
Thank you for this journey! You are wonderful!
Omg. Kelly!!! I'm not even to the music yet and you have me already crying!!! I'm pausing to grab a box of tissues. Yup. Definitely will need them this time around!
I'm crying knowing your crying. It's endless.
This kind of analysis and understanding is what the song requires as a first listen due to its complexity of emotions and scenarios. Well done, excellent.
I had a feeling this reaction was coming today. Lovely reaction and knowledge you showed about it throughout. Now I'd say go and watch it a few more times and forget about analysing it, and enjoy the majesty of the performance 🤘
I left a clue about Poet & Pendulum in the NW discord. Not sure if anyone picked up on it.... I eluded to the fact I was looking forward to an 'epic' weekend. : )
@@KellyDeaconKDzJOY I'm not part of that just a little psychic 😉
That was great Kelly. Really well done with the background story and all. The whole thing was very touching.🤘👍💯
Hi Kelly.
Your reactions are so honest and sensitive, I feel your emotions through the video. Love it.Warm greetings from Germany!
good job digging up the interview ;)
"when did you become so cold?" when she sings this line look at her face as she turns to look at Tuomas.
and the pure pained expression of Tuomas as he sings along "Try to save them all." you can tell after all this time he still feels that pain of not being able to hold them all togethor.
Nightwish=The best ear candy a human soul can get.
It is music for the soul
The final track on that album is an epic ballad called 'Meadows of Heaven'. Anette Olzon really shines on songs like that.
Your reaction was the best i have saw of this song. You respected and understood the song. You took the time to learn and prepare for this masterpiece and got fully emotional linked to it. So is my feeling that this reaction was a masterpiece of is own. You have all my respect!
Really awesome reaction, WOW, Thank you !!!
So, we were in tears both (again in tears with this song, it catch me always). Sometimes or some songs, when you watch Nightwish, it is like a theater play, you cannot take your eyes off cos you might lost something. And this song is one of those songs. Very emotional song.
Looking back on my reaction here, I realized I was affixed to the words in Dark Passion Play section. I barely react to music, it's all about the lyrics in that section. All of it actually.... I wasn't sure how I would get through it to be quite honest. I had to use poetry to help my own expression to deal with it.
The release year for this song was 2007. I think I was confused with the last concert with Tarja in October of 2005. My apologies. I'd like to extend a huge thanks to some very special people in the NW Discord, and the NW family for the recognition and decision to give this first impression and commentary a bit of "attention" to those that have contact with Nightwish . Most definitely a humbling experience.
This is one hell of an emotional overload , much to much , you feel the pain and those basic 6 impassioned human behaviors deep within your heart and soul........you are unknowingly drawn into this huge event of a music extravaganza oblivious to the reality around you for the whole duration of this beautiful performance....... I cannot think of no better accolade for this man but i believe Tuomas Lauri Johannes Holopainen is to Music as what Einstein was to Science, a Phenomenon of our time , but i have to mention the rest of the partners in Nightwish who are truly deserving in this Epic band.... for without them we would not be experiencing the beauty and emotions we feel every time they perform for their Global Followers .
Thank you ever so much for this contribution to the comments here.
@@KellyDeaconKDzJOY Kelly , i just could not pass by on your emotional contribution to this fantastic band ,
i had to make the comments that i did and re living those moments yet again . Myself along with
friends were in the lower level just left of the stage at Wembley Arena for this venue in 2015.
They performed 17 of their songs...but out of all those... hardly anyone was dancing and feeling high
when the 11th song was being performed " The Poet & The Pendulum " , hardly anyone moved at
all and as the performance progressed tears of quiet emotion including myself were being shed
across a packed arena . This is the only time i have seen Nightwish live.... a night that i shall cherish
and never forget...... when i saw your reaction it all came flooding back to me.
Love your reaction videos, Kelly!!!
Thanks Nikki. Be sure to scroll down through the description, I added your channel in my upload default description last week.
@@KellyDeaconKDzJOY Ahhhh! That is so sweet of you Kelly!!!!! That means so much, thank you!!!!!!
I love this song and I love your reaction/review! Great stuff...can't wait for more. Cheers!
Been waiting for you to react to The Poet and the Pendulum..and it was worth it, thankyou Kelly for a great video...the song is so full of emotion and you did it justice...I think you’ll like the “Last ride of the day”...from Wacken or Tampere , both performances are brilliant . I wish everyone good health, have a wonderful weekend all. 🤘
Wonderful Weekend too..
Tasmino Ben Thankyou, have a great one 👍
Very well done, Kelly! Great reaction. All my respect for the effert you put into this. 👍
Wonderful reaction, Kelly. I just watched it at work and I'm going to watch it again when I get home.
Thank you for your effort and research you did with this song. Cant listen it without crying, part three and five gets me allways. I like your interpretation of the lyrics and I’ll add the sentence ”whore for the cold world” to ones that really tells how Tuomas was feeling, in my opinion anyway. Love your poetic mind ❤️
That was so so great Kelly. All thumbs up!!
Not seen it yet and already getting a like.
Excellent review. Thank you.
As always, another sweet reaction from you. You are amazing
You have put so much work into this band, we only wanted you to like the music. You are truly one of us now. Fantastic video, great editing. Great comments. Be proud of yourself.
When someone mentioned Nightwish to me some 5 or 6 weeks ago they knew I was in to poetry and it would be a good match. The person (I wish I could remember who it was ) said that tuomas' songs are poetic. It was at that very moment I knew I found a muse. It became very clear when I first heard "I want my Tears Back". Please find my reaction. It was shocking and unexpected and you'll understand why. I am forever touched. It's an honor to be in the NW army. Thank you.
You've just been "FLOORED" I cry every time i watch/listen to this floor has a beautiful angelic powerful voice & can make any type of song sound beautiful, but let's not forget the band to play that live & be so tight is like a symphony but they have no conductor it's a masterpiece & I can say that they are so much tighter now that Floor has joined them.
In the Pacific that section about on the shore we sat and hoped under the same pale moon whose light shows you all, That is a reference to a bit of Nightwish history. Back when they 1st formed the band before they had a name, they went on a camping trip together on a Lakeside. Underneath the pale Blue Moon they sat all night and that's when they came up with the name Nightwish. This is a call back to the very beginning when everything started
Very beautiful intro ..and the rest is history.
@Kelly Deacon - you really held it together! Great reaction, thank you for sharing this journey with the Nightwish Community!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻❤️🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I wasn't sure if I would be able to hold it together, but I got through it. I had to use the poetry to take care of the emotional release. Thanks Justin-'case'.
Kiitos! Mange Tak! Dank U Wel! Thanks, Kelly! Love this song in all versions..... Boy soprano at the start "The End" is Guy Elliott from St Mary's Choir School Reigate... Pip Williams (Uni. West London) did the additional orchestration...... Marko as Herod or Caiaphas?.... Great video.
One of the best reactions/video of this specific song I've watched, period...amazing, thanks for your time and sharing this with us!
You seriously have done the best reaction to this emotional song! Again, thank you so very much
Always a pleasure Bridget.... you've been here since the start, appreciate your insights.
This song really expresses how much Tuomas REALLY loved Tarja so very much!!!!
Yes, thank you so much for your reaction. You show a great respect for this music and I really appreciate you for that. And you're right. Knowing the back story opens up so much more layers. Though I have listened to this song many, many times...it chocked me up again. ✨🌹🙏
You was spot on , brilliant reaction, I have se many reactions to this Masterpiece and yours nailed, Thank you to share to us such amazing insights! Cheers from a Brazilian Dude who loves metal and good music! Should I suggest one thing?
This year we here in Brazil lost a legend to Brazilian Metal , Andre Matos a complete musician a Maestro hinself and an awesome voice , should you please consider to react to a Song called Fairy Tale fron his band Shaaman I suggest the live São Paulo version ! I and a lot of Brazilians will be honored to see such a sensitively person like you reacting to this song!
Thank you of the bottom of my heart!!!!
Fantastic reaction as always Kelly
I think you would be interested that Tomas Troy and Thomas's wife did a project a while back and their name is Auri. One of the songs is called night 13 and I know for a fact you would love it. It is a beautiful song and you won't be disappointed. Have a good Sunday
Dang. your perspective on the brilliance of Tuomas' lyrics is unmatched. And yes... lost count of my reactions to reactions among the many times I've listed to Nightwish on my own. And I still get chills, tears, excitement and inspiration every time. Thanks for sharing.
Hello james. This commentary was my initial thought and impression, first reaction. To be honest, and as times goes on, I think of more reasons for the lyrics. I don't advertise this very much but I was humbled and blessed this video caught the attention of people associated with the band. I was very shocked it was sent to Tuomas. Thank you for your comment. Glad you are here.
Opening voice and one later on: "Lead boy soprano: Guy Elliott, 2nd boy soprano: Tom Williams, courtesy of the Reigate St Mary's Choir School.. Interesting when Tuomas says I only have 3 minutes and counting, it is exactly three minutes til we see him gesture the blade severing.... Thank you Kelly, one of the best reactions I have ever seen here on YT.
Thanks for sharing that info.... wow, nice.
Hey Kelly, you understand this song so much..Thank you..
Amazing work. Thanks for all the work and effort you spend in this video. Congrats :D
I love sharing your highly empathic and well read views on this music, especially Nightwish, who is one of my top favorite bands ever. Very deep and emotional music that Tuomas and the band put out there, and I am so glad I am able to understand it on a musical and spiritual level, and those like you out there who do too.
And that is how you do a reaction to this most incredible and emotive song - brilliant Kelly, i think maybe you're a kindred spirit to Tuomas and that's why you 'get' NightWish on such a profound level. Thanks Kelly x
Great reaction Miss Deacon. We should call you the Priest for this song? Glad you enjoyed this rendition..A true masterpiece..
Realy great reaction. THX for your effort and engagment!
Thanks Kel!
You're welcome Gary..... I am SO glad I now understand what everyone else already knew..... forever changed. What a journey.
Thank you, what a wonderful journey through beautiful music with such powerful lyrics. I hope Tuomas Holopainen someday watches this reaction. To really understand it, and the whole situation you should read the book of Nightwish from beginning to the last concert with Tarja, what really did go on. The part Mother and Father is mostly what Tuomas mother told him he went home to Kitee after the news broke out that Tarja was forced to leave the band. I remember it like yesterday...!
Maybe, it was just "I will always love you..." because it says a lot
@@Immortall1408 I think it was more than just saying I will always love you...!
@@Piia2023 Of course, it was more than just this phrase, but the underlying message was probably that he will not have to go through it alone and they will stand by him.
unfortunately, that book has been written by a close friend of Tuomas and is very biased in his favor..already questioned by many critics to be very inaccurate
@@thegrtone744 well neither Tuomas nor Tarja has written their story yet...
Great production !
Your reactions keep getting better and better. I love what you did with the transitions and the moments you choose to make your comments.
This is a really powerful song and I'm glad you like it.
If you like, you could check Timo Tolkki's work. He's a great composer who suffered from several mental illness a couple of years ago. He tells his story in one of his solo albums (Hymn to Life) even telling how he had an abusive father and how all the things that happened to him in his early years lead to all of his metal illness.
Impaciently waiting for your next video. Love from Argentina.
first time I listen to this it felt like a gift, enjoy the music feel the feelings and have a good time.
Best reaction I’ve seen great understanding . I love the way the other band members play by him to check he is ok ,a very hard song for him and us all
Thank you Duncan. You might like to know this reaction went to the band's manager and Tuomas. I had no idea at the time it made an impact. It's amazing and humbling. We didn't announce it at the time, because that's not what we are about. I do mention it now through comments since several months have now gone by. Thank you.
This is so well done. So insightful too. I really enjoyed every minute of this, Kelly
