      Thanks for your insightful response to this song! As for Emppu....he's a great guitarist! I love watching him play, the way he interacts with the audience, and you can tell he loves every second just by that big smile of his!
      Tuomas....he's a freaking genius!

I was lucky enough to meet Tuomas in Wednesday, in Nightwish museum in Kitee. My voice was shaking but I got to say to him that Nightwish and you have healed my broken soul more than anything in this world, thank you. His response was, I still can`t believe what he said back to me... "That is so good and inspiring to hear because sometimes I feel I am useless...". He was so down to earth and so humble and I feel I am the luckiest human in this whole world that I got Nightwish in my life and I got that chance to really tell Tuomas how I feel

    Nightwish makes a lot of nods towards science and scientists and vice versa. There are animals, forests and rockshelters named after the band, Tuomas and Floor. Tanidromites nightwishorum is a newly found species of crabs. Sciophila holopaineni a beetle. Tmesisternus floorjansenae Weigel also a beetle. Alpenglow Rockshelter a rockshelter in Pennsylvania. etc.

    About Emppu: I completely agree. It might even be "worse" than you think. Have you counted the number of guitar players yet? Thought about the fact that a lot of metal bands have TWO? Have you missed that second guitar player yet? Nope. Emppu will handle it on his own, with a relaxed smile on his face and still finding time to joke around on stage. THAT's impressive.
    And yeah, they like to open and finish their concerts with a bang. Just like they did on their previous tour(s) with Dark Chest of Wonders at the start, and Last Ride of the Day at the end.

      It's interesting that most songs are great with one guitar, but there are songs like Weak Fantasy that use 3 (for all purposes Bouzouki is one). Versatility of NW members gives Tuomas complete freedom. And happy Tuomas means infinitely more happy people.

    Floor CAN sing anything - I just saw her sing the phonebook on a Dutch radio program - not only did she sing it, she emoted and I could feel it - amazing.
    I love the brilliance of this band - and you want science? The Greatest Show on Earth at Tampere ua-cam.com/video/bl6lUfIMkGM/v-deo.html - that takes it all to an entirely different level. If humans had to beam one song out into space to show who we are, that would be the song. The reason I suggest the Tampere version is because it's visually stunning; the Wembley version is also good, but in a different way. Watch Tampere to first blow all of your senses and then at some point (even if not a reaction) Wembley to catch the beautiful nuances that are different. The version with the lyrics is the way to go, IMHO, the first time through especially for the outro (watch the ENTIRE thing).
    Love your reactions Eric, how you feel the music, it's a beautiful thing! ✌🤘

Seriously, I don't think anyone else could pull that off given the difficulty of the songs she will be singing. There are simply no limits with Floor and its breathtaking to stand back and witness. I wish I could go to Pinkpop just to see her crush it twice in one day! Additionally, this is my favorite Nightwish opening song. It should be the textbook example for how to open an arena show.

    A tract of life-packed forests in Mexico saved with help from symphonic metal outfit Nightwish will be named after the band, World Land Trust (WLT) partner Grupo Ecológico Sierra Gorda (GESG) revealed during an Instagram Live chat with lead singer Floor Jansen last week.
    The Instagram chat, streamed live on Friday 30th October and now available on UA-cam (see below), was followed by nature supporters from all across the world.
    Broadcasting live from Sweden, Floor Jansen was joined by WLT CEO Jonathan Barnard from the UK and GESG General Director Martha Isabel “Pati” Ruiz Corzo and GESG Head of Conservation Roberto Pedraza Ruiz, a mother-and-son conservationist duo who tuned in from Mexico’s Sierra Gorda. The Dutch singer, Nightwish’s lead vocalist, was told of the endangered forests the band has helped save.

    This is one of three great openings from them ("Dark Chest Of Wonders", "Shudder Before The Beautiful" and now "Music" intro followed by "Noise" ).
    Shudder before the Beautiful is referring to the amazement and wonder we (The Travelers) should all feel regarding the natural world. It is all around us including the solar system and universe, which we are all a part of while traveling amongst the stars on this small spec of blue.
    This was from the Nightwish 2015 record, "Endless Forms Most Beautiful". many of the songs from this record revolve around a theme of wonder and appreciation for the natural world all around us. As you probably know from other comments, Nightwish members are very much nature lovers and ponder deeply about the universe, how it works, and our place within its grand workings.
    AND ,....If you think, This song is awesome ,.... you better prepare yourself !!!!

There is youtube documentary which gives good insights about whole Nightwish operation: Nightwish Making the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful (playlist in full)

    This one has Floor's gorgeous lower register at the start (wonder what colours that elicited). Floor at 34, was at her peak in this concert. (Mind you, she's still there now.)
    Tuomas often puts those little runs and trills in the background. Superb.
    And I really love Marco's harmonies at the end.

      @@jeannettesimpson9778 That's true and I almost said that, but Tuomas does do that quite a lot. Also odd little dissonant arpeggios and such - Yours is an Empty Hope is an example that most reactors don't comment on. Before the ethereal siren-like notes he does that.

      i humbly dont Concur. Sure the Versatality is on the Bringe , but their Metal Roots are only spread thin in the Folk and Classical Aragements, considered the whole Album. Still ghreat one, but for me to much Voice Acrobatic, two much Troy, too less geniue old Style NW. but thats only my sight, every else is of course legit.
      Perhaps an Circle closes up, as they start as acoustic Band, just because of Tarjas Voice, Empuu did bring up an E-guitar:)

    Eric, this is one of the songs that lets you know, beyond all doubt, that Tuomas is, as I like to call him, the "Metal Mozart."
    He really embodies the heart and soul of classical composers like Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart. The only difference is, they didn't have electricity to make metal music!

    I REALLY APPRECIATE how Eric Appreciates Tuomas. Because that's where it's at. Tuomas doesn't want to be the center of attention but he sure is mine when it comes to Nightwish. This is one of the few channels that appreciates Nightwish as a whole band. In a YT's sea of reactors, be more like Eric. Thank you.♥
