A NEW JOURNEY AWAITS | Nightwish (Perfume Of The Timeless)

[@ghostnf9650]

Its a banger and the more you hear the clearer Floor becomes. Its sorcery. This live is gonna be brutal. Also they are one of those bands that everyones expects perfection from, so we get “ Its all Floor, Its not enough Floor, Its Folk, Its not metal, Its too symphonic, Its not symphonic enough…..”. Folks, Its Nightwish which have become a genre on its own.

[@fettiestube5692]

Word!!

[@willhughes2904]

Thank you. This is the best comment on any platform since this song first aired. The childish arguments are tiresome.

[@ghostnf9650]

@@willhughes2904 reminds me of “Music” from the last album: “Nightwish is dead, Tuomas does not make use of Floor, its mellow, they have lost their mojo” then album comes out and goes live and everyone looses their minds. Also enjoyed when asked about it Floor goes “all tricks in the book and then some, hard to sing as hell”. This raging debate and millions of views proves their status as legends. I personally would loose interest if they kept over the years serving me different versions and iterations of “Once” and “Imaginareun” I am old enough to remember when Metallica released “Load”, it was the end too. 20 years later still out there touring and powerful as ever

[@gucky2298]

Totally agree, but please write the last sentence in capital letters.

[@irenehabes-quene2839]

Remember when Shoemaker studio version was released, many people doubted Floor could sing that live…..well they were wrong, she nailed it live! ( as reaction to your remark This live going to be brutal.) If they ever go back to live performances I’m sure Floor will shine, perhaps her voice will rise far above the choir, because I don’t see her holding back.

[@mikko-of6cu]

I'm from Finland and was a huge Nightwish fan from the late 90's to the day when Tarja left the band. Tarja leaving made me upset and I did not really like the new singer they went with. I didn't really listen to Nightwish after that for almost 20 years. About a year ago I by chance watched a reaction video with Floor singing live and god damn it I was hooked once again. Got to say that even though I loved Tarja, Floor is even better. I love Floor. Now I've been on a Nightwish bender for about a year and the more I listen to them the more I love them once again. Thanks for these reaction videos, they're always great.

[@yerviniansamvel]

I didn't like Anette either, true is I stop listening Nightwish because of her,still album Imaginerium is very beautiful but Floor is my queen

[@TheTookster]

I to was a rabid Tarja fan and considered there could be no other but I have progressed to where I find Floor is tops. One thing I will say is there are some songs that were Tarja's and also since Marko has gone the same applies. This new album I feel is maybe going to be a whole new journey.

[@tomfavorite1020]

Chase...i have made similar comments before, but felt the need to bring this up again. Your ability to digest the big picture and help others understand using your humble, thoughtful, and ridiculously insightful manner puts you in a really small group. It is easy to see how you have been lured in by Nightwish, because I think you are of similar cloth and talent. I grew up listening to another band that not everyone understands...RUSH. Both bands take a very cerebral approach to not just the music, but the message, and the adventure they take you on. And you almost have to submit and trust them in order to get the deepest meanings of what they are trying to say. Sorry for rambling, but thank you for all that you do.

[@MeigetsuNoSeishin]

I adore this band so much. Their music has helped me get through so much, and I fall in love with them more with each album! I Love This Band!

[@SokolRock]

7:42 Tuomas talked about this in his interviews and he was very clear: He never starts writing music until he knows what the song is going to be about. Upd.: Here is an excerpt from one of his interviews that I found: "- What is your creating process? - It always starts with a story, with the theme of the song. I don’t think I’ve ever done a single song just jamming with my keyboard, starting from a melody and developing through that. It’s always the other way around for me. I think: I need to write a song about long lost love, heartbreak, this book I read that’s really inspired me or any other topic. How would I bring this story alive? Is this a metal song? Does it have folk elements in it? Is it a ballad? Is it piano orientated or acoustic guitar orientated? This is really fascinating, I really love this process of trying to find the perfect approach to tell that particular story. Then I write the music, and after the music is ready I write the final lyrics. After that, I kind of polish the corners again and again for months until I reach a point in which I can’t contribute anymore to the song. That’s when I present the song to the other members of the band and we start again from scratch. Sometimes, when I present the song to the band, they’re completely happy with it and it’s almost exactly how I imagined it originally. Sometimes it changes a lot. Maybe a guitar player might say “that riff’s not really good, how about this?” and then it’s perfect. Maybe Floor changes the vocal line and it gets perfect. It’s a collaboration, that’s why we are a band."

Magic and mystery hope and criticism wrapped up in our senses we define the mystery and our stories are timeless

[@dannbon13]

I am not sure if I made this statement before on your channel, but as for the message or the melody comment, I might be able to give you a little insight. During Covid Tuomas did a Q&A where he discussed various things from being a level 97 wood elf in Skyrim to slightly touching on politics. One of the questions he received was advice for writing good songs. His exact (advice) response was this; “Be humble before the song, before the story you want to tell. Listen to how the song wants to be told. Be humble before for it and execute.” I follow that in everything I do in life. The best advice I’ve ever heard from someone. And it reflects in the music he creates.

[@Donna-C]

The intro is a mix of “all things Nightwish” - metal, folk & symphonic & a meaningful message about us & the world we live in. These themes from Tuomas / Nightwish are long standing - in fact the lyrics from A Return to the Sea - seem to be portrayed in this video - then there is connections from The Greatest Show on Earth & more recently Endlessness, Procession, Noise, Pan & Shoemaker (visual ) & Harvest. Lots of the talent on display from our favourite talented musicians! Another great reminder WE WERE HERE!

[@mattihopiavuori353]

Great reaction again! I love the reference to us being fed fast food of music daily instead of a 12 course meal in upscale restaurant. We all love Nightwish for creating musical experiences so we should NOT BE SURPRISED, but I for one am absolutely floored, mind blown! There has never been, there will never be, another Tuomas Holopainen! And Nightwish is the G.O.A.T.

[@valeriasande5837]

So.... dear Chase what can I say.... i drop a tear from the first note ... and alm the hole song to the end.. One more time Tuomas chills me to the bone.... the lyrics, the music, Floor's voice, all the message ... absolutely stunning... I see your face... that was my face too... jajaj A deep hug from Mar del Plata, Argentina. We are passing a hard... hard time here and today I go to sleep with a smile hearing this song again and again and again....

[@ChaseCarneson]

We're all there with you my friend.

[@tjitsekoster9379]

I've heard this song several times now and like all Nightwish songs it grows on me. I love the bridge part between the verse and the chorus and personally, I noticed how Floor's voice is mixed in the chorus and it's hard to make out what she's singing, but it does give it a grand choir feel and I love that. And that break down is just epic. Great song overal and if you concider it's just their commercial single, you can only imagine how amazing the album is going to be.

[@daninthedark]

Perfectly said, this is the perfect band and this might be the most beautiful video and song I’ve ever seen

Honestly, this means a bunch. So grateful for the support and the opportunity to create content to this band. Appreciate it.

[@scwebb]

It’s not you getting old, there’s a lot of discussion about how Floor’s vocal has been mixed. From what Kai has already said, it’s a very deliberate choice and they’re aware some people may have issues with it.

[@ChaseCarneson]

Oh okay. I can't say I have an issue with it but I did notice it. It's a small detail that doesn't affect the overall product for me.

[@Doudoussin]

The idea was apparently to have the chorus be a choir, which would make sense with the theme of the song, but it's not super clear when listening since you still primarily hear Floor, so yeah it's a bit of an awkward in-between. Though I can't believe how overdramatic some people can be, saying it ruins the song and everything, like chill guys it's a small detail

[@eaglesandowls]

@@Doudoussin Exactly. And it's also just one song. I'm sure the album will have plenty of opportunities for Floor to shine.

The guitars and the orchestration is sooooo EFMB, while the theme and lyrics seem a natural sequel to Human :||: Nature. And this blends well into some Imaginaerum vibes. For me, it seems like a perfect sum of a post-Tarja Nightwish.

Hello again, Chase. Living in Arizona are you? Terrific. Phoenix Nightwish fan here. Carol, my lovely wife of 43 years, and I got to travel from here to San Francisco to see them live at the Warfield on May 18th, 2022. Wonderful show. And we have been waiting for this first release from their upcoming new album. I have already watched and listened to this lovely video and masterful composition dozens of times and am awestruck by its beauty and the depth of the message in its lyrics: Something from the earth came Something for the world Mosaic of broken fragile pieces Tesserae of the deceased Born to a novel world Endless chain unbroken Silent clocks rewinding My song it is for mankind Embers to the stars We are their heir, dust on their palm We are because of a million loves We're the perfume of the timeless Last sighs on a deathbed Time set For a curious ghost Lives lived plain and epic Of eudaemonia 12 score and 1 chain of lives unending Welcoming as my offspring Walks me to the weave My song it is for mankind Embers to the stars We are their heir, dust on their palm We are because of a million loves We're the perfume of the timeless Last sighs on a deathbed We are their heir, dust on their palm We are because of a million loves We're the perfume of the timeless Last sighs on a deathbed Time set For a curious ghost We are their heir, dust on their palm We are because of a million loves We're the perfume of the timeless Last sighs on a deathbed We are their heir, dust on their palm We are because of a million loves We're the perfume of the timeless Last sighs on a deathbed Time set For a curious ghost (We are their heir, dust on their palm We are because of a million loves) (We're the perfume of the timeless Last sighs on a deathbed) (We are their heir, dust on their palm We are because of a million loves) (We're the perfume of the timeless Last sighs of a million loves) Who writes music like this? Only Tuomas Holopainen. And who performs that music? Nightwish. And yes... Floor absolutely kills this performance. Also kudos to Troy for the lovely soft vocals he brings to the end... very reminiscent of his work on Auri. Love, love, love it. And a huge thank you, Chase, for reacting to this.

[@SERGI1974]

It is very significant that first with Nightwish when I first heard Oceansborn in 1998 and then when I saw Floor live for the first time in 2004 with After Forever, they were both love at first sight (or at the first listen). And here I am, more than 20 years later, enjoying the perfect union of wonderful music and a voice from another world and also with videos like yours that have helped me understand and appreciate their music better. Thanks!

[@stasa-X]

I love NW for years from Oceanborn album and they never disappointed me not once!!! Singers maybe changed, musicians too but NW for me is Tuomas and he is still in the band, he is the half of the band alone. I do i like the song,it reminds me the song music from the human nature album,big intro and Auri in the end. I have listened five times already and i am enthusiastic with the song and what is coming next, how many beautiful songs will follow.

[@franciscojaviervazquez2635]

About the weird sound of Floor´s voice in the chorus, and since I read the comment of Kai Hahto about this is on purpose, IT MAKES ALL SENSE FOR ME. Think about it: during the video, the characters of the band are like ghosts in the middle of books and weird creatures. But when I realized about what the song is telling, AND NW IS ALWAYS STORYTELLING, I discovered that Floor´s voice is surrounded by "vocal ghosts" too. It´s like if all her ancestors were participating together with she. I don´t know if I´m overthinking about this... but seems a very reasonable interpretation for me since I read Kai´s comment.

[@Sylkar8_]

he tenido el mismo pensamiento 😊

[@tonim89]

That makes a lot of sense, if you ask me... It's important to mind that the chorus always says "We are", so she is speaking for more than herself.

[@goranelez9956]

There are many documentaries about Nightwish and the question "what comes first, message or melody?" was answered directly by Tuomas. I just can't remember the answer :) I think he said "message".

Hey. 124 Spider here. Honestly, if all children in their first school years had heard this song and read the lyrics, I'm sure that today... all of humanity would be much more cohesive and kind to each other.

NightWish Army Wisconsin Chapter here. I’ve listened to this song many times now and absolutely love it. Another Tuomas masterpiece. Been reading many comments and see very unbalanced thoughts. Some love it, some don’t. Some even call it garbage. I often remember that even Mozart was told his compositions were garbage. Music is very selective.

Hey Chase, first to your question from the 8th minute: for Thuomas, the idea/the story always comes first, then the music writing. He mentioned that in an interview not so long ago. Also, I wanted to thank you for all your great Nightwish breakdowns and all I could learn from them. Keep going. 👍 Aaaaand...I just saw that you haven't done a reaction to "Stargazers" yet. It's an older song they hadn't been playing for a long time because of its operatic vocals. But with Floor they were able to put it back on the set list for the concert in Tampere, in my opinion the best live version of the song. Floor really shows off her operatic skills in this one and it would be really awesome to see a breakdown of the song. (; Again, thanks so much for all you've done for us and this wonderful band. Hoping to see a lot more Nightwish reactions to come. All my best wishes for the future from Germany. 😉

Probability of right sperm meeting right egg: one in 400 quadrillion. Step 4. Now lets assume that you have just those 12 generations of ancestors mentioned in the intro to this song. For the probability of every one of those 12 generations of your ancestors having reproduced successfully with right sperm having met the right egg is 400 quadrillion to the 12th power. Given these 4 steps, the probability of you being born you at the present moment is 20k x 2k x 400 quadrillion to the 13th power.

once again a beautiful and worthy reaction..aspected and deserved...thank you for that.greets from the NW Army in the Netherlands.

Thanks Chase. We go on this journey together always. Nightwish is so much more than popular music. It’s classical depth. I love that I live in a place where it’s appreciated at face value. No band ever ever had given me consistent goosebumps. Have a damned good day my friend.

The evolution of this band is incredible; listening to their first songs and compare them to todays songs - two worlds and at the same time always Nightwish. I love it when bands evolve like this, adapt to changes (especially of members) and follow their visions. I am sure Nightwish will never be mainstream but will remain a source of challenging music with deep meaning. I at least hope this. There is too much superficial music today, always the same blablabla and music "composed" by computers. I prefer ambitious bands with visions and the courage to go new ways and follow their own no matter if they lose fans who want them not to change but stay in a former state. I will go on following them on this way and I am curious what future will bring, with Nightwish and in general.

Been listening to this all day and watching reactions, but was waiting for this one. I cried because this exceeded my expectations. I cried because this band is nowhere near done. And I cried because it may be a few years before we hear a live version of this. Come on, Nightwish, I know you’re not touring, but put together a recorded concert, I’ll buy it.

[@ChaseCarneson]

This was a very full circle moment for me. It just felt right. Thank you for supporting and watching.

Danke für deine Reaktion Video, mein Freund! Wie immer habe ich deine Analyse sehr genossen! Du hast die Fähigkeiten, mich auf Dinge in einem Song hinzuweisen, die mehr ohne dich gar nicht aufgefallen wären! Weiter so! Liebe Grüße aus dem sonnigen Hamburg, Cheers❤😂

Thank you. You are authentic as a person, sharing your love of this exceptional band. Seeing you react to the music, well, I cried a bit my first watch, but I cried watching you experience it. I’m still tearing up. Love to you. And to Nightwish. 🧬

So, so, **so** good 🖤

Hey, Tuomas. You have done something special. In the 1970s I found a medium that I could really relate to - music! It was something special then. One formed ones own opinions about the bands and artists one heard. We all had our favourite genres and artists and followed them like sheep. Why? Because their music was special to us. We could not wait for the next album or single to come out, so we could wallow in the music we loved. Sadly, it was not to last. For the last twenty or thirty years, I have listened to so much crappy music produced by silly recording companies who are only interested in making a fast buck, uncaring about the artists or their fans - just get the next one out and make more cash. Now, Nightwish have come along and not only changed all that, but with this song have turned music into something different; something cerebral. People who listen to this music and find it does something for them, somehow learn to think again. Nightwish has made an old, old man feel happy again when he listens to music. No day is now complete for me if I don't listen to at least thee pieces of their music! Good reaction Chase, I feel sure you will understand what I mean. Keep up the good work man, you are doing fine!!!

[@PaulOutdoors]

Perfectly put 🙏❤️👍😊
