Condolences from The Netherlands. ❤❤❤ My parents, together 70 years, died last year within a few days of each other, natural deaths, double funeral. I had a Floor song called Mama (in Dutch) and Marco Hietala “Isäni ääni” the Finnish version, at the funeral. My dad was 93 like your father, only 3 weeks short of 94. That’s what Nightwish does. Opens doors. Never imagined I’d have a Finnish song at my parents’ funeral. A few years prior I lost my husband. Nightwish music and Floor’s voice were my salvation and they still are today.

@@petriuusi-makela8535 very sorry for your loss

[@Rackelhane]

This is like a warm hug from Floor and Nightwish. Tuomas wrote this after his father passning in 2021. He explains that this is not a sad song. Its a celebration to all who came before us. Great reaction. Thank you.🎉❤

[@HalfLifeSistah]

Warm up, indeed! And thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! ❤

[@572Btriode]

Tuomas Holopainen wrote this just after his father died, he said this: "The last song on the album, Lanternlight, might fool you into thinking it's a sad song, but it's actually a love song and ends up on a very positive vibe. If you have somebody who has lived a very happy and a really long life, it's a moment of celebration and not of grief. This is the message we want to send."

The Yesterwynde album has such an incredible flow. It´s really an amazing journey from start to finish. So many good songs with unexpected twists and turns. I absolutely love it! When listening to the album start to finish you realize this is the perfect finish. Incredible beauty!

[@reeilona]

[@Buffalodan66]

You must do this entire album. Its their best in a very long time 💌

[@HalfLifeSistah]

I hope my viewers make that happen! I world LOVE to start from the beginning!!

[@TheRomy22ify]

@@HalfLifeSistah the album is stunning but i'm surchin for floors voice!! The choir is too loud 😭lanternlight is the only one i can hear her voice clearly

[@jimharris367]

It doesn't get any better, just perfection. Tuomas wrote this for his Father following his passing in 2022, he described it as a celebration of a life well lived and a tribute to those who light the way for us through life.

[@vedranjahic7268]

Every song on this album has the totally different vibe, but that's the most beuatiful about the Nightwish. From song to song , we are swimming trought a bumch of emotions. So I'm so happy with "Yesterwyande". Btw your reactios are so beautirul and natural. You can feel the music with all you heart and soul. Keep going 🥰😃

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

This hits straight to your soul. 🥹

[@Piia2023]

Yesterwynde album is the best Nightwish album. Every song is a work of art with the band, Floor, orchestra, choir, lyrics...just amazing and the final closing with this beautiful song. Love it.

[@RolfMeyer-cl7ou]

Lanternlight. My Song of 2024

[@celorfiwyn8193]

This song made me reminisce of being a child, hearing those calming, soothing swaddling songs that gently carried you to sleep. Unusually simple, for Toumas, but deceptively simple as upon hearing it a second time I picked up additional layers. I'm loving the hell out of it.

[@HalfLifeSistah]

I'm loving the hell out of it, as well! Glad you enjoyed it, sugah 🤗😚❤️‍🔥🌻

[@glenngunnis6642]

Another masterpiece from Tuomas and Nightwish!🎸🤘

[@tarmotyyri6733]

Thanks for sharing your reaction to a song that Tuomas wrote to celebrate the life of his father that passed away in 2021. For me it empowers us to recognize our connection to nature and one another, ultimately signifying that even in times of uncertainty, despair & sorrow, there is beauty and hope to be found under the glow of the lanternlight. P.S. Their new album "Yesterwynde" is a sonic masterpiece.

[@charliethetraveller]

Sistah´s reaction are something else. This Nightwish song is very touching.

[@HalfLifeSistah]

Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🤗😚❤️‍🔥🌻

[@Aenea-de9vy]

This time I had exactly the same reaction as Sistah, smiling and crying at the same time. Heartbreaking but yet hopeful at the same time. Pure perfection! ❤

[@tonilaitinen5197]

"An Ocean Of Strange Islands" is definetely the peak of the new album. When ever someone pays you to react to that, make sure WolfKain is along. He will like it as its very classic "Nightwish".

[@MacZussie]

it includes a peaceful note for Marko Hietala...WolfKain might detect it with ease...it's just the 2nd song of the album, which has more peaks, but this the most Power Metal song of iz snd Floor's doing Warp speed and her intonation of the vocals is crazy accurate. Please, please, do Yesterwynde & Strange Islands TOGETHER. Yesterwynde is too short for an individual reaction, yet works as a perfect, calm intro to what comes next on the album!!! Highly recommended.

[@Luis-el-Oso]

Dear sistah, you are listening with your heart, your husband is listening with his mind. That is the difference, which also shows in the faces.

[@irenehabes-quene2839]

This song gets more beautiful every time I hear it. It ends with the film role sound that was also at the beginning of the first song. Tuomas wrote this song after his father died, it’s a tribute celebrating his father’s life.

[@Donna-C]

Half Life Sistah - I knew you would feel this song deeply! So Beautiful. 🤍 Wolfkain, this song was the first song Tuomas wrote on the album Yesterwynde as a tribute to his father. It is the last song on the album, the last song of the Trilogy. Tuomas has hinted there are a number of “Easter Eggs” in this album’s songs, music, lyrics & videos that tie into each other & previous songs / albums. He notes this now concludes the theme of Human / Nature & Timeless. Any new album released will be new topics. Listen to the whole Yesterwynde album - in track order - we will be here for it! 😊

[@Harolddespui]

Please do a live stream of the whole album start to end. This one is Nightwish's best imho. 😊

[@samia9654]

Great reaction. I am old, fat, crumpy man, and this song makes me cry like a baby 😂 I really like this new album

[@theemperormarshall3183]

This is so beautiful, knowing you will definetely cry on this one 🤘🤘🤘❤️ I did cry too by the way 😄

[@WardDorrity]

This is another Tuomas Holopainen masterpiece. He only keeps on getting better as his talent and vision matures. Absolutely stunning. This composition is as deep as the Marianas Trench and has more layers than a baklava. It is exquisite. I'm 73 and I am the last man standing in my family. I am the last of my line. So this performance runs deep, cuts deep. I understand the feeling of loss, yet I still live with hope and intent. No small thing to live with intent. Nevertheless, Floor's voice and this composition is akin to an emotional depth charge to the heart. There is a tenderness and vulnerability there that I have not heard before, and it just breaks you. And her face, good Lord, her beautiful face so expressive and adorned with nothing save her heart and soul just melts me to my core. I am not ashamed to say that this staggeringly beautiful composition and the meaning behind it makes me want to cry on Floor’s shoulder. I’m sure she would understand. The poetry of this song is also heart-rendingly exquisite. It is a poem, a prayer, an elegy. Listen to it. Just listen to it. Tuomas’ poetry can easily stand alone. Some of you get it. Some of you don't. I do, and that's all that matters. Kiitos to all of you in Nightwish for delivering such epic and emotional story telling.

About (part of) the movie scenes in the background: I recognized pope Leo XIII and wiki is saying: "Leo XIII, who was born in 1810 and was thus 86 years old in 1896, is considered the earliest-born person ever to be captured on film. The images of him are well-known, and recently were enhanced and colorized on-line.” kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXq5gmBnqZ5lnqMsi=hXFM4fDfXhhyaWan

[@MrMstr]

This album is one of those best enjoyed in sequence. It's one I have listened to in one sitting, and I almost never achieve to do that, it's just that good.

[@torpitsanas9010]

Thanks! Every song of this album is different vibe. Next "An Ocean of Strange Islands".

[@HalfLifeSistah]

Make it happen! I world love to hear it! 🔥✊🏾🤘🏾

[@godsasleep]

If you guys want to hear Nightwish at their absolutely heavy, epic best, you have to listen to An Ocean of Strange Islands.

[@Columbasta]

Lanternlight starts at 6:06

[@MrSardine17]

Tuomas and Floor - sponsored by Kleenex:). One of the greatest ballads I have ever experienced. I'm sorta glad they are not touring - this, live, would end me.

[@jeffreycook2112]

This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. And a perfect ending to an amazing album. My other two favorites from the album are An Ocean Of Strange Islands and The Weave. But you guys really need to do the whole album to get the full effect. You are going to love it. Thanks for such a great reaction.

[@Mars-is4un]

🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 Great great job guys, good to have you back and what an amazing song huh 🎶🎼

[@amandamoggionegoulart3939]

You are back with NW. I just love your NW reactions because it is exactly howI fiel. Tks.❤❤

[@MacZussie]

an ode to his father who deceased during his writing process. P.S. I was sure that I will miss Marko on that album, but I didn't.?! I also thought to hear bassists Jukka Koskinnen's voice, too. At least in" Someone whispered follow me"

[@cahh_azevedo]

This song poetically narrates human finitude, giving light to nature, our certain end. ♥ 😭😭😭😭

[@johnfreeman5310]

Tuomas wrote this to honour his father after he passed in 2022

[@adamparrott797]

He wrote this song after his father died.

[@HalfLifeSistah]

Thank you for that information! ♥

[@EnigmaMachine94]

I love this song so much - there’s something about it that just pierces right through my chest and gives me goosebumps. It’s beautiful, heart wrenching, inspiring and powerful all at the same time

[@johannessilver8653]

Floor said that she was about to cry when she knew the meaning of the song and it was the most emotional one on the new album. In that island on the video, Tuomas spent time with his father.

[@darklibury]

Stunning. 😊😊

[@larryd4352]

This song can bring tears to almost everyone who listens to it! It is without a doubt Tuomas Holopainen's masterpiece! I don't cry to hardly any music at all....yet Tuomas has a way of touching ones heart! My mother passed 10 months ago...and it's still fresh to me!

[@Rancid-Jane]

Tears always bubble up in my eyes during this song. This time, the first note Floor sings got me, and it continued through the song.

[@greeniesr]

"PERFECTION"......Floor, six weeks after child birth....

[@Silisavnw]

This album is the greatest, not only from Nightwish but the best in the history of Symphonic Metal!!! Please react all the songs of the album. It would be your best trip-experience!!! I have listen the whole complete album over of 20 times and always discover new things!!! A Great and Wonderful Masterpiece!!! 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻

[@Darkgwyneth1]

Hello. This song is the fourth song from the Album yesterwynd. It is a wonderfull journey and the video " an ocean of strange islands" is a masterpiece! You must see it😊❤sweet greetz from Germany! ❤

[@clivematthews5296]

This album is a masterpiece. There have been 3 singles released, Perfume of the Timeless, The Day Of... and An Ocean of Strange Islands. Troy not that new to band as initially performed in 2008 before Floor. Became a permanent member at the same time as Floor in 2013.

[@arminbach3722]

I have no Words for this Beautfull Song. Make me Sad.

[@LarryHolmack-c1j]

LanternLight is a total masterpiece... as Tuomas out did himself! I just love the complete album!

[@stevendejong6394]

Uh oh, I haven't even started watching yet and I already know what is going to happen. You need a hug. We all do. Having said that I will never get used to the sensory assault that is Twitch. EVERYTHING is moving, there are two audio streams playing at the same time... AAACK

[@Thorgrim247]

Memories of the people we have lost along the way. Celebrating a life well lived. Tuomas lost his father during the composition of the new record. Good luck with the move.

[@jarnojuhani8942]

😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@Glesgeek]

For what it's worth, this may have been the last song on the new album, but it was the first one that Tuomas wrote for it.

[@paisa20]

Thanks ❤❤❤

[@dragonseye00]

I loved human II nature, but yesterwynde is amazing. It is a natural evolution from the previous albums. Some complain about the mix on this album, that floor would be to low in the mix, but I don't think so. The orchestration is a very strong in this album, and I think the vocals are well used, like another instrument. Three album is heavier, but in many ways, more varied. There are many moments where it was surprising. This album is a true journey. I think you should listen to human II nature first (including the instrumental second disc) and then take this album. I'd recommend sticking to the order of the songs in the album. This song is somewhat connected to our decades in the sun ("I climbed off your back not too long ago")

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

This was the first song that Tuomas wrote for the album, and it was inspired by the passing away of his father.

[@jpdemer5]

That high note gets me every time.

10:23 the saddest of smiles.

[@572Btriode]

Is it just me, but Wolfie looks a a bit like Tuomas and has the very similar deep thinking also. I applaud.

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

As much l love you folks, you couldn't finnish anything with Nightwish and Floor. Why!?

[@luskentyre65]

Sometimes less is more x

[@fraukehammer4624]

And i see in your face you think the same, this is the real end of an era.😓

[@pdutchie4924]

Lanternlight is breathtakingly gorgeous ❣️ Not able to listen to this with dry eyes, it goes straight to your soul. It’s so fragile and strong at the same time. What a gorgeous piece of music composed by Tuomas and so emotionally sung by Floor. Tuomas said that Lanternlight is a song of love to celebrate live of the people that passed. In this case mainly his dad I guess.

[@fraukehammer4624]

I love this, but i am sad, in my opinion this is the end of Nightwish.

[@reeilona]

They re-signed multiple album contract with Nuclear Blast in this March and Tuomas has said in the interviews that more albums are coming.

[@user-vv9it9ye4g]

Love your reaction.. ...but you did what I did, closed my eyes. Now go back and watch the entire video. It's even more moving if you can imagine that!

[@HalfLifeSistah]

Lol, you are so right. I did watch the video back and it was a treat for my eyes. ♥

[@masterrubyan2976]

This song was written by Tuomas Holopainen in 2021 after his father passed away. This song reflects on the memory of a lost one. And on the hope for the future, with the memory of that person. It was the first song for this album, and the last one on the album. Indeed al closure.
