      When I listen to that part I always think of how brief the life is. I start to make a comparison between our ancestors and us, and they were also here, as we are. They just vanished, evolved and here we are trying to evolve into a better society, and maybe not too far into the future we will be the ones who were here, and undoubtedly will be part of the history and will become "ancestors" for other "people" or begins. That part of the song always makes my body shake and make me realise that we are just stardust. Once we were, now we are no more.

    14:16 - 14:47 The Evolution of Music
    This has to be my favorite part of the song because it's so subtle that you might not catch it the first time around, but it's arguably the most brilliant part of the song in terms of storytelling.
    Within about 30 seconds, you can hear a beautiful representation of musical history.
    It begins with a harpsichord playing Bach's Minuet in G, followed by the voices of Chrismas Carolers singing a snippet that's reminiscent of Carol of the Bells to represent the Classical Music of the 18-1900s; it then moves to mid-20th century american Country Music with a short snippet of a banjo diddy ; the early 21st century follows afterwards with a riff from Metallica's "Enter Sandman" to represent the Golden Age of Classic Metal; it then ends with the drumkit briefly switching from acoustic to digital as it plays an EDM style beat to represent Club Music and the modern era.
    This is not a part of the song I see people talk about often and I think it definitely deserves more praise because it's absolutely genius.

    • @Angela-pj5hh

      Actually it starts before 14:16, exactly at 13:47.. it starts with tribal rythms and singings (probably they want to evoke the ancient music), then it lasts with a kind of Gregorian chants and afterwards those that you mentioned!!!
      In total is exactly 1 minute!

    "Ghost Love Score" was the love at first sight as when we heard Nightwish first time and loved them.
    "The Poet and The Pendulum" was the mourning for the old times of Nightwish and calling for the new dark adventures
    "The Greatest Show on Earth" was the great announcement of the epic era is about to come as Nightwish has finally established their best line-up!

      In the grand scale of things, the gist of this composition, we are nothing but that. Footnotes to future generations. Or alien civilizations finding out a monke with big brain actually managed to off themselves. No matter what, we will eventually fade out on this Earth. The big question is will we continue on as a species through raping other heavenly bodies. But "Life" as we humans consider it, WILL end billions of years before Sol revokes its contract.

      It hits me every time as well. To me there is so much anguish, and yet a hint of defiance in that final cry. Humankind's unified voice shouting out to the uncaring and empty vastness of the Universe that "We Existed". The loneliness of being the only known sentient species, mixed with the resolve that even if there are no other eyes and ears out there (and I dearly hope there are) to witness our existence and eventual passing; the Universe created something worthy of note.
      It warms my heart to know that I'm not the only one who feels this way about that ending and so I thank you and wish you all the best. :)

    About a year ago I "rediscovered" Nightwish after watching a random video here on YT. Haven't listened to Nightwish for like 10 years before that. I think the song was The poet and the pendulum, (didn't even know they had their third singer, after Anette) and since then I've listened/watched Nightwish songs almost daily. If that random video haven't been Nightwish, I might never have found out about Floor Jansen, for me the greatest singer there is. I might never have found my way back to Nightwish, for me the greatest band there is, and listened to songs like Poet..., Ghost love score, Storytime, Tribal...too many to write here.

      I feel you. I used to love Nightwish untill Annette came along. I stopped listening to Nightwish completely. Then one day I heard Floor on our national show Beste Zangers, saying she was now the voice of Nightwish. I've always been a big fan of her, loved After Forever, so I just had to check out her performances with Nightwish and damn I am SO glad I did. I absolutely LOVE Nightwish again! In my opinion they are better than they've ever been, even though I really liked them with Tarya too. Floor is just out of this world and Troy is such a great addition. So sad Jukka had to quit though, but this drummer is very good too, they are all just amazing!

      Back in 2008 a co-worker introduced me to Nightwish. Wish I Had An Angel was the first song of theirs I heard (he had a copy of Once) and I immediately went out to buy it, only to find that the store I went to didn't have a copy of that, but they did have Dark Passion Play. As soon as The Poet and the Pendulum started playing, I thought, "that's not the same singer..." That song still hooked me though, the musicianship far exceeded anything I was exposed to at the time. I started looking more into the band, and found that Tarja had left. I liked Anette fine, never had a problem with her style, but as I went deeper down the rabbit hole I got more into the older songs, and I also discovered After Forever, specifically Dreamflight, and Floor's range blew me away. So when I found out she was going to be the singer for Nightwish, I was beyond excited. Seen them twice, both times with Floor, and those were two of the best shows I've ever been to. Waiting for show number 3, whenever that is...

      It's not her voice alone its the way she uses it. The various low and high notes she can reach and in different styles and even different languages. Simone Simons, Sharon Den Adel and Amy lee are awesome too for example BUT with no disrespect to them...Floor is the most flexible of them all and she can perfect any style she gets into...from operatic to heavy metal to hard rock to pop to jazzy-ish to growling...she has it all and she's worked damn hard to achieve it. her pairing with Nightwish is just marvelous because it introduced a lot of people to the band and genre and all the side projects that the band members had and have. Floor Jansen and Nightwish are for us today what Freddie Mercury and Queen were back in the day. Oh and no disrespect to Tarja(which I've only this year managed to see live and she magnificent as expected) or Anette(still waiting to catch her live). I like them too and we wouldn't be here to talk about any of this if not for their contributions as well

Also note that I've been listening to metal music (not the heavy one or a more instrumental one, but mostly to power metal, gothic and symphonic metal) for over 10 years, with the first group I listened to being Evanescence (whose frontwoman is the above mentioned Amy Lee), and the first actually loved to the deep being Within Temptation (not to be said, Sharon's band), so I totally get your comparison, and I can compare them as well with my musical tastes and history. They all have a wonderful voice, however it's not the bare voice which lets you understand the power of these bands, but the way they decide to use them. Just think of Whole World is Watching from WT, of Bring Me to Life from Evanescence: they are well known songs, but they are the ones which let you appreciate the frontwomen's voice the most, since they are literally able to crack your heart.

Proofs are also small individual pieces of the puzzle. There is no one big proof of complex phenomena. Many things in science will never be proven, because of our limitations of measurements and understanding. What science does is to tell us, as far as we know, this is the best explanation, things that are tested and have found to be so far so good. But it is also a challenge to scientists to prove that what we know is wrong, so that we can improve our understanding. Things that have been "proven wrong" also are not completely dismissed, but tweaked and used with caveats and limitations. For example, Newton's laws are "wrong" when considering certain situations, but they are still very valid for normal day to day use. Einstein's theories are wrong when considering the quantum world, but perfectly fine on the macro level. And what we have is not the end, but just a step towards the next on the road to understanding.

    A woman, who gave her all, to raise a boy as a single mother.
    She struggled so damn hard through all her life.
    And then, when she finally found peace, she got cancer.
    I never understood, how a fighting human, who gave it all, could be punished like that. I had so many damn questions, and doubted everything and all.
    I was never religious, and neither was she.
    Ever since i was a young boy, we talked about life and death. And she had her own way, to think about things. She teached me, to belive in the universe and not to question my human being.
    And still - the day she died, i lost all „faith“. Just because of the fact, that she died way too young (56).
    And then i found this song.
    And i had to realise, that she lives on. In me, and in every person she met on her way.
    And that was the moment, i realised, that we can be eternal - if we are pure and if we care.
    We where here!
    And damn… how she was here!
    A wanna thank you, for this masterpiece, and for all it made me realise!
    Whenever i come back to this video, i shed some tears. But no sad ones.

While she somehow miraculously recovered from her near-death state. The truth was that her life would never be the same again. It's been an extremely uphill battle since then with moments of grave despair and anguish. Nonetheless I am forever grateful to have been given the time to truly cherish and love her. All I hope for now is that her days will come to a close with as little pain as possible. Much love to you and your shared emotions.

      I've tried to understand why people love this song so much for a long time, but every time I listen to it, it just bores me. The song seems all over the place and doesn't make me feel anything. I know music is preference but as someone who enjoys most of their songs... can anyone explain to me what people enjoy so much about this song? Really don't get it but trying to understand what I'm missing here.

      ​@@123Suffering456 Have you tried listening to it while your reading the lyrics? Maybe being able to follow along would help? It's about the creation of our universe and planet eart. That's why chapter 1 is called Four Point Six. I guess I see it as a 20-21 minute rock opera dedicated to the creation of the planet. The first part I can see the creation of the stars and galaxies in my head....sort of like the music is painting it into existence. Part 2 "Life" is talking about life starting on our planet, single microbes up to humans (which is Part 3, Toolmaker). I adore part 3 now, but I will admit the animalistic growls the first time through really made me chuckle. I was like "Wait, run that by me again?" Part 4 has got to be my favourite though, once they start in with the “We Were Here” portion of the song I can’t listen with out getting teary eyed - from happiness. It’s a nice life reminder when your having a stressful day. Puts things in perspective.

    I spoke to Richard Dawkins at a meeting in 2015 and I asked him about his collaboration with Nightwish. He was incredibly impressed by the band and by Tuomas' in particular. When he was invited, he expected to just do a 'voiceover' but was in the studio with the band, so could see how they work. He was very much looking forward to the Wembley show, although I think he was a bit nervous!

    I would like to say several things about this group. One of them is that I started listening to it only a few months ago and in a short time I have put aside other groups that were inseparable for me. I mean, I can't get the Nightwish melody out of my ears. I am a Cuban man raised on rock from the United States and the United Kingdom, so I could not imagine a group of such quality in such remote lands as Finland. I'm a fan in love with Floor, and delighted with the fantastic lyrics that make up the team. I know I will never see you in person but I follow you as best I can. I have seen all the concerts of you on UA-cam and I am pleased to have you on my phone and in my life. Long live Nightwish.

    It became a kind of anthem for me as I nursed them both through rapidly debilitating illnesses.

    I can say in all honesty....I had never heard of Nightwish before three weeks ago...now I can't get enough. Thank you guys for renewing my faith in Music....I love Orchestral, I love Metal...thanks for combining my loves and making it work.

    I can listen to this song over and over and over again and it never gets boring. It’s a masterpiece (as are many other Nightwish songs of course)
