I've seen it more than 50 times, and every time I like it more. It's fantastic. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@MrsRealistic]

It's epic... so beautiful!

@APMM58 SAME HERE!!! Greetings from Finland ❤‍🔥

[@WNYretiree]

No matter how many times I watch this, I always discover something new to think about.

[@szolanek]

Yes, there is an extreme amount of artistry, imagination, creation and intuition is in it. We will hear some "me too" feedback from the team. For intuition and sexuality is the two sides of the same coin. You can't have one without the other 😅

[@pen7759]

Hi ! We Were Here ! And we are so privileged to live here, and more, we are here in the same time Tuomas lives here. All the best to you, greets from Finland.

[@chriso6719]

Troy Donockley singing at the end. No , you're not ready for this. LOL. First single from the upcoming 10th album, Yesterwynde, due out Sep 20. I've seen it dozens of times, and don't think I've noticed all the details yet. They didn't know what to call the album, how to express what they wanted to, so they made up a word, Troy came up with it. A live would be awesome, but don't expect it anytime soon. They have said they won't tour the album, taking a break. Rumor says maybe 2026 when they hit the road again. The album is the 3rd in a trilogy of albums , with Endless Forms Most Beautiful and Human:II:Nature, all of which deal with life, science, evolution, nature, etc. You haven't done any songs from those albums yet. To get a better idea of the themes of the trilogy, check out EFMB songs like "Shudder Before the Beautiful" ,"Weak Fantasy" and the epic 21 minute "The Greatest Show On Earth". All played at Tampere 2015 or Wembley 2015. "Noise" is a good intro to Human Nature, great music video, and lives from Deichbrand 2022 and Hellfest 2022.

[@MrsRealistic]

Thanks for that info! Yesterwynde is a perfect name 👌

[@erickvermeulen9734]

I concur

[@nikostsoromokos696]

Hello from Greece. You say the magic words. "This song is a gift" and that's the point for me. Thank you for your reaction and your comments.

Thank you! 😁

[@jimharris367]

Man this song just seems to get better with each listen, its honestly at a point where its getting me a bit choked up - the album can't come soon enough 🤘

[@nightwisharmyuk]

UK Army popping in for a great reaction to this masterpiece

[@johannessilver8653]

Troy sings the end part naturally. Again awesome job from a to z...lesson learnt again for people to think deep.

[@Chuckles..]

I haven't been very interested in Nightwish till now, this song is really cool. Especially like the lyric "we are because of a million loves" and the text in the beginning!.

[@MrsRealistic]

I LOVED that line! It made me want to cry!

[@moniquevanaken2638]

Over the years I have been busy finding out my family tree. A lot of my ancestors suffered a lot and often that made me cry although that happened centuries ago. That was such a powerful experience but I am so proud of them! And now Tuomas made a beautiful tribute to all of our ancestors. WOW!! Fyi: Last Monday NW released part 1 of "Making of....Yesterwynde", their new album. Part 2 is following on Monday 3rd of June. I'm so excited! Have a wonderful weekend!

[@MrsRealistic]

Thanks for sharing! My mum's father actually wrote a book about our ancestors who came from England, as far back as he could trace. It was so amazing to be able to read! He finished it just a few years before he passed away. And now we have something very special that he provided for us with all the trials and tribulations they went through.

[@Tarkus_]

Fantastic reaction! I'm with you, this is another Nightwish masterpiece, and yes, it will be a banger when they get around to performing it live! 🤘 🐡🤘

[@rickphil9999]

Hello, Mrs. Realistic! You completely got this video. The music is so beautiful and glorious. Floor's vocals are just Floor. And then Troy comes in so softly and lovely at the end. Amazing in every way. Thank you.

[@MrsRealistic]

I felt the same! Thank you 😊

[@grahambatchelor3576]

Loved your reaction to this new classic. When it was first released I douldn't get over how deep and thought provoking the video/song was...... I'm still in awe of it after at least 75 views.

[@MrsRealistic]

It's truly thought provoking!!

[@myspacewolf]

I love angry Floor, but THIS Floor is exciting! Troy puts the exclamation point on at the end PERFECTLY too! Tuomas is such a beast when it comes to writing epic pieces like this!

[@MrsRealistic]

Couldn't agree more! 👏

[@renejensen7799]

Nightwish dont dissapoint "did you feel the ghost energy song" I listened to this song many, many times by now, and it is one i like to listen to with my headphones or without, its really a good song, when i can do so to me. Some say Floors voice is low in the mix, and i can agree its hard to get all words she sing, but if you look at it soundwise it sounds amazing!! and after a listen or 2, you know most of lyrics, and its no problem at all, its done fully on purpose for the sound experince of it, and Floor being part of the choir of ancestors,.. cant wait for rest of album!! Yesterwynde is the opening track on new album, i belive its only like a intro, its a little over 2 min long, #2 on album then is a almost 10 min song, thats proberly another epic!! #3 is where i think they bring in a heavy track, and this Perfume of the timeless is #5.. so i think its gonna be a good mix of heavy songs, Epics, and maybe a full balled.. Perfume of the timeless, well its almonst a ghost energy song right, telling all these ancestors is around as ghosts in a timeless world, being around you still, also a message that your existens matters, that your ancestors was going through, sadness, hasppiness, love stories, to make your existence posible, and your actually lucky to win the lottery of life, so seize the day!!!! i feel tuomas also put in a little message that mankind could do better still, Einstein turn to ape.. The title of the album is a word made by band member Troy Donockley, which Holopainen describes as the feeling of time, history, memory, and being connected to past generation, who have "all had their lives, their ups and downs, and they don't exist anymore, except as atoms scattered all over the universe. And we're going to be in that state pretty soon as well. So that should give you something to think about." Holopainen has described the album as being about humanism, history, and the inspiration thereof, and that outlook of the album is positive and optimistic ] Track listing Yesterwynde: release date 20th September 2024 All tracks are written by Tuomas Holopainen. Yesterwynde track listingNo. Title Length 1. "Yesterwynde" 2:43 2. "An Ocean of Strange Islands" 9:26 3. "The Antikythera Mechanism" 5:55 4. "The Day of..." 4:34 5. "Perfume of the Timeless" 8:11 6. "Sway" 4:23 7. "The Children of 'Ata" 5:37 8. "Something Whispered Follow Me" 6:39 9. "Spider Silk" 6:26 10. "Hiraeth" 6:14 11. "The Weave" 4:53 12. "Lanternlight" 6:06 Total length: 71:07

[@MrsRealistic]

Love that! Thank you! 😁

[@SteveOpstad]

I truly enjoyed your reaction, it's great to see someone who really appreciates all tfhat is presented here. You're right this song and Nightwish in general are a great gift to us all. Tuomas gives such great consideration to all the elements of their songs. Crafting with such care. This care branches out with each member and the crew. The images brought forth under the direction of Ville Lipiäinen bring it to another level all together. And absolute brilliant production.

[@MrsRealistic]

Thank you! I couldn't agree more! They're brilliant!

[@NickBR57]

This will keep giving new things for a long long time. The Lantern Fish is a real thing This video reflects Tuomas' marine biology obsession (he wanted to become a marine biologist at one point). Nightwish are official ambassadors for the World Land Trust and have a nature reserve in Mexico named after them. Floor has a beetle named after her, and Tuomas a fungus gnat. You should check out more Nightwish music videos Ville is to music videos what Tuomas' is to music. "That" was a whale skeleton. Try Shoemaker, Elan, Harvest, Noise etc

[@MrsRealistic]

Oh yes, I've seen the lantern fish... it's freaky! But I think that one was cgi since they live at such a low depth in the ocean... and they're not that big. 😉 This is the first actual music video I've seen from them... and it didn't disappoint!

[@michaelwanklin3580]

Dear Lady - I always enjoy you Nightwish reactions

[@MrsRealistic]

Aww thanks! I appreciate that 🙏

[@Thorgrim247]

This will be an amazing live song. Beautifully done Mrs. Realistic.

[@MrsRealistic]

Thank you 😊

[@Mars-is4un]

🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 Great Job as always and the voice was Troy on the End

[@MrsRealistic]

Thank you!! 😁

[@whitey624]

The male voice you here at the end of the song is Troy's. A wonderfull contrast with the voice of Floor before that. Very nice reaction and looking forward to your next one.

[@MrsRealistic]

Thank you! 😁

[@larryd4352]

His song is on the same level as "The Greatest Show on Earth!" Absolutely brilliant! How Tuomas creates all of these brilliant songs is beyond me! As for the man singing at the very end of the song...that's Troy...the man of a million instruments! ( Not really...but he can play a bunch of them! ). If you want to hear Troy in a lead vocalist, check out "Harvest"...it's great!

[@MrsRealistic]

Thank you so much! 😊👍

[@DesertEagleDutch]

Nightwish isn't just entertainment. It's also food for thought. This song is probably going to offend some people nowadays. Crazy world we live in. Some don't care about facts anymore. Feels like civilization is on a crash course to it's downfall. Anyways.. got here through an earlier Nightwish reaction. Something that really touched me you saying you can relate to Floor as a woman and mother. Floor is amazing, but I also think that way of stay at home moms. And you're even homeschooling your kids. I just love old-fashioned values and hard working people. Bless you.. your husband and your kids 🙏 Greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱 birthplace of Queen Floor. The Dutch windmill. The Valkyrie Queen 🤟🙌

[@MrsRealistic]

That's so kind of you, thank you!! Yes, we're pretty "old school"... and I feel like the world has gone off the deep end as well. One of the many reasons we home school. I'm not cool with anything going on in public education anymore. It's night and day compared to when I was a kid. Thank you for the lovely comment! Cheers from a Canadian in Texas! God bless you my friend!

[@MountainMetal]

"It gets better if you listen more" Jeez, people. Talk about damning it with faint praise...

[@78Mustang]

[@MrsRealistic]

I am a diver, loves this song and video. Troy sung the outro. Wonderful. Greetings from nwAse Sweden

[@szolanek]

I kinda envy you, but not in these days. Swedish waters are crowded with Russian trained octopuses. Still, you can recognize them for their appetite for caviar😅

[@MrsRealistic]

I can only swim in water where I can see the bottom. It's been a fear of mine since I was a kid. I LOVE the water... and am a very good swimmer... just not super deep dark water 😆

[@rnowak85]

Enjoyed your reaction to this amazing piece of art. It has all the epic, thought provoking, poetic lyrics and just beautiful storytelling that make Nightwish so magical. Since you enjoyed that softer end part you should checkout another project of Tuomas and Troy along with Tuomas's wife, Johanna Kurkela (famous Finish folk/pop singer) called Auri. That last part feels like it was lifted straight out of an Auri song. My favorite Auri songs are The Space Between, Desert Flower, and The Valley.

[@MrsRealistic]

Thank you! 😁

[@zbygniewprlwytzkofsky6614]

The sailboat on the Yesterwinde cover reminded my immediately of the Auri song "Pearl Diving" (Aweigh Anchor Away)

[@TerryParsons1724]

What a great video NW are amazing they always intrigue me with their stories. Look forward to seeing the live version this is another masterpiece by them for sure. Great reaction thank you. 🤟🤘

"You are the dream of many ancestors"... what a statement !!!! Another massive song from The Master Tuomas Holopainen. Wow, just WOW... When You Really Dive In (pun intended) to the music and lyrics, this song is as massive as "The Greatest Show on Earth" (Their Biggest song so far...) . So that song is A Must Listen/react (Live of course) !!!! This Song makes you think... and thats Good, because there are sadly less and less people who can think and wonder about life and all its grand workings on this day and age... NWSU/FloorFan/Epican/Ayreonaut/TWA 🤘😎🤘.

I watched the behind the scenes of this video afterwards and he said everything I've always thought about. Such an amazing talent to be able to wrap it all up into this beautiful music!

No one writes & composes like Tuomas. For a side look at his work, you should check into some of his other works. A lifetime of Adventures (Scrooge McDuck, Pearl Diving (Auri).💜

🇬🇧 Norfolk along for the ride for just a few minutes in the mind blowing mind of Tuomas ! What a composer

[@user-hr9cy7vj6o]

Tuomas Holopainen songwriter,composer. Nightwish band from Finland.

[@MrsRealistic]

Yes, I figured it was probably him... but I didn't know since he doesn't usually sing, but Marko, who used to sing a lot, is no longer with the band. I have a bunch of Nightwish in a Playlist 😊👍

[@jeffreyphipps1507]

After mentioning that you couldn't free dive you asked, "What is that?" - Another reactor who trained as a ocean biologist said it was the skeleton of a humpback whale.

[@MrsRealistic]

Until it came into view better...I was getting the creeps 😆 Then I realized it was a skeleton! 😄

[@leemarinus]

Troy is the singer at the end

[@ruangsakanuwatwimon7843]

Interesting....I do think the way Tuomas deemed Floor voice a little bit make her beautiful voice existed in human way .....that's sounds stupid maybe yes but for me I can remember her voice by this song more than her goddess voice, my brain can't stimulate processing her goddess voice because it's unlikely anything I heard beautiful and powerful and more unrealistic,I think he knew what he doing

[@MrsRealistic]

I think he always does. He's so smart and talented!

[@terrytheoldgoat]

Male vocals are Troy

[@MrsRealistic]

That's what I was assuming 😊👍 Thank you!

[@tarmotyyri6733]

Some probability calculations: Step 1. Probability of boy meeting girl: one in 20,000. Step 2. Probability of same boy knocking up same girl: one in 2000. Step 3. 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. Going backwards in time with even more generations of your ancestors, we soon reach a probability of 1 divided by the number of atoms in the entire universe. This makes each one of us a unique miracle.

[@MrsRealistic]

Wow... you're so right. I've thought about this a lot... if one little thing in anyone's past had been different, down to just deciding not to move to a certain town, live in a certain house, or get pregnant right when they did, etc, I wouldn't exist... because neither would they. It's a trip!

[@tarmotyyri6733]

@MrsRealistic 👍

[@Pascal-the-Rascal]

Yeah, well, I was this close to being stuck at the you seminar with 22 (watch the movie Soul if you haven't). When my parents dated, they lived quite some distance apart, they had a long distance relationship, and my mom was planning to move to another town, a fact that my dad didn't know anything about. The day before her move, dad decided to pay her a surprise visit. If he hadn't, they never would have seen eachother again, probably, and me and my sister wouldn't be here. Neither would my three nieces. Well, I guess the world didn't dodge that bullet 😂

[@MrsRealistic]

@Pascal-the-Rascal 😆 Yeah, my dad was randomly working in Calgary (he lived in BC) and just happened to rent a house that was turned into apartments where my mum's friend lived. She popped in while he was on a ladder painting his apartment and said "Nice butt!" and the rest is history. 🤣

[@Pascal-the-Rascal]

@@MrsRealistic Haha, I guess that's all it takes sometimes, compliment someones butt, and see where it goes from there. 😁If you're lucky, you'll meet the love of your life, if you're unlucky, well 😆 Seriously though, Tuomas is a poet, and an ocean soul, his lyrics are always food for thought.

Actually it's true, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't see this masterpiece. Best thing since Pavo Nurmi. When Marco left the band, I thought it was over. Far from it. I would change the title to "God is on weeds".

[@MrsRealistic]

I was sad to hear that he left. But I hope his health is better and maybe one day he'll be back! Thank God for Floor!

Hi, nice to see your reaction to this thought-provoking piece of art. It's actually funny that all those elements of life is in front of your eyes every day.

[@MrsRealistic]

I've not heard there previous albums so I can't comment on that. 😊

[@busher69]

Been wondering when you were gonna react to this. There is so much here to unwind, good Lord. I've seen this a dozen times or more and still find new in it. The music itself is one more example of the brilliance of Tuomas. His ability to connect us to the earth and its history and it's cycle is just amazing. The great mystery is what is still inside the mind of this man. God only knows what he has waiting for us down the road. I would like to find out more about how and who was involved in bring the music to this indescribable video. I have no words to describe the combination of the two - WOW

[@MrsRealistic]

"Wow" about sums it up!! It's hard to find the words!
