NEW SINGLE!! Nightwish - Perfume of the Timeless | Reaction!

[@trekkerj]

This song brings me to tears because of how good it is. Nightwish is still a force, Tuomas is a genius. Keep it coming. More live shows hopefully in a couple of years. I will be there. Ordered the vinyl and the Blu-ray (and a tshirt). I will be listening on repeat for days.

[@Ad_Astra1975]

I have been listening to this song, on repeat, since very early in the morning and I was blown away, right away!! Then when the vid came out, blown away once more. It's like you said, Nightwish takes you on an epic yourney with each song and these vids are so amazing. It all goes well together so perfectly. I really look forward to the rest of the album 🤘🤘🖤🖤

[@robspence2276]

Just gets better the more you listen to

[@alexthorpe6583]

About 4 years since we've had new Nightwish. People always say to watch Nightwish's live videos, but this music video is a visual masterpiece. Troy's soft voice at the end is a real nice touch.

[@anssiroiha2267]

Finally!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ This is EPIC!!!

[@jimharris367]

A masterpiece, they're on another level - can't wait to hear the album 🤘

[@Rackelhane]

The most wonderful Nightwish smile is back again. Great. Cheers from a finn in sweden.❤

[@PhilAlumb]

Beautiful and ambiguously dark. I ❤ it!!

[@diedzjeeoudshoorn7726]

They are in a League of their own. The story they tell, and the way in which they do it..... Absolutely amazing. I can only hope a new world tour promoting the new album is in the making. I would certainly try to make it to one of their concerts.

[@vlander1992able]

We are their heir, dust on their palm We are because of a million loves We're the perfume of the timeless

[@kentk2215]

Great job Jynger! Loved the video. The genius of Tuomas! We are the product of a million loves!

[@silverblack5475]

Ive listened to this song WAAAAAAAAY too many times .......this will be absolutely epic live too bad we have to wait a few years but until then cant wait for the rest of this album .

[@ChrisPage68]

You CAN'T listen to a Nightwish song "too many times". 🤦 🤣

[@PaulOutdoors]

Irresistible complexity Jynger with all the trademark Nightwish transitions and multi layering. 3:58 to 4:28 repeated later is everything I could ask of a Nightwish release musically and vocally and the other 8 minutes are superb also. Thank you lovely lady 🙏👍😊❤️

[@jamesschwarz007]

I did listen to the song a few times already and I needed a few listens to have it click. Then the video dropped and the combination song-video takes it to the next level of awesomeness! The whole experience became absolutely epic and I can't wait for the whole album! To me your reaction is the icing on the cake, thank you! How's the heart, sweet Jynger? Love your NW tank

[@missrubyphoenix]

The video is fascinating, as it starts with the big bang (tying TGSOE and Shoemaker with those space shots) a cosmogony bit, then continues with the reptile that jumps into the water, the very source of life. The detailed fact of what it takes for us to exist is just mindblowing. Ngl, the open shot of the diver floating in the ocean tickled my anxiety, especially as the light/bait on the giant anglerfish's head becomes slowly visible (terrifying as heck) Next step in the evolution process, are the primitive organisms changing time and time again, creating many different species, including the homo sapiens sapiens, the toolmaker, the human we are today, (aka Tuomas), it also shows the raw, predator-prey dynamic. The section on the natural history museum is my favourite. The fossils are super cool, and the old-looking encyclopedias stand beautifully on the shelves. Floor's free fall into her own history pages reminded me of Élan, loved seeing the different shots, like multiple sides of her. Then back to the water, finally, a sort of fusion between her and Tuomas appear to be the first "curious ghosts" to explore the museum, though Kai's is already there, reading (The Portrait of Dorian Gray? I mean, because of how his face turned into a skull), I'm not sure how he got there though, but I'm guessing that every time the diver comes out of the water, it represents each of them. Emppu's journey took me by surprise, he seems to be a peculiar jellyfish, though it makes sense, the man himself is quite peculiar in the best way. Troy observing and gently reaching out to the butterflies is a lovely scene, like cherishing the smallest, most fragile living beings. A badass breakdown, mixed with visuals that gave me Procession vibes. Jukka's ghost disintegrating like that gave me the idea of "ashes to ashes, dust to dust". The last shot of the diver floating with the whales is beautiful, I've always loved their calls/songs. Then, everything comes to a full circle with that drop of water that nurtures the earth. At the end of our journey through this world, we will go back to where we came from. We become one with mother nature.

[@2beans_and_a_bug]

What a cool breakdown! Very nicely thought out and very well written! 😊

[@fugawiaus]

Me: “cool video” You: a complete breakdown scene by scene. Damn, that is fantastic. Thanks. 😃

[@jpdemer5]

The books on the shelf (the ones we can see) are the works of Charles Darwin. The open book at the beginning is "On the Origin of Species".

[@no1billiard]

Finally, your “DIVE ON IN” phrase has a literal meaning in this masterpiece!

[@bobyesia560]

great video and Beautiful song! looking forward to the rest of the album

[@trekkerj]

Also, Jynger we need more Nightwish reactions. There’s more out there. 😉

[@Donna-C]

I knew you would love that heavy metal section - but the whole song combines ALL the things we know & love about Nightwish!

[@GenXMetalHead73]

This was my first time hearing this new single from Nightwish! You can always count on Nightwish to bring it! No one does a build up and story better then Nightwish! Their music and talent is second to no one! That is why they are one of my top bands ever!

[@fraukehammer4624]

This album closes the circle.

[@AndyMagnusson70]

Today is not a good day. It´s a freaking GREAT day

[@2beans_and_a_bug]

Great comments at the end Jynger! I loved everything about this song/video....very cool and well worth the wait 😀❤🤘✌

[@janottens6755]

I am in ahw about the greatness of this song verry impressive 🥸💖💖

[@WardDorrity]

This is what unconstrained genius looks and sounds like. Tuomas is a visionary and he does exactly what he pleases and goes wherever his muse takes him. It's on us to keep up and follow along. That he leaves many behind is no surprise. This... this composition is fucking epic. And it's as deep as the Marianas Trench. This world, this existence is awesome if you take the time to grasp for understanding. The glittering beauty of mathematics, music as the voice of God, the natural world with its "endless forms most beautiful". It's all there for the beholding. But you have to reach out grasp it, you must have a savage thirst for comprehension as the price of admission.

[@Jarzze61]

Awesome video🤘🇫🇮👍😎

[@scottfield5849]

That would be SO GOOD live! It's a shame they aren't going to tour this album. Latet, then! Rock on, Jynger! 🤘😎👍

[@rickphil9999]

Hello again our lovely JyngerSlapz. Tuomas Holopainen doing what only Tuomas Holopainen does. Transforming mysticism into timeless music... and video. The orchestration is magic, Floor's voice is ethereal, and then... Troy's gentle voice at the end is perfection. Loved it and loved your reaction to this amazing composition. Thank you.

[@eddiecreutzburg7375]

Great song, gonna see the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy, the first of June 😊😊❤ in my hometown 😊😊

[@JWNanaimo]

Knew you would be all over this Jynger🤘🤘Would be crazy to see this live..hopefully at some point in the future 🙏 I’m 72 and just discovered them a year and a half ago and they are top of my bucket list to go from Canada to see them hopefully live in Finland when they decide to tour again 🤞🤞

[@larryd4352]

Nice to.see.you.reacting to.Nightwish again! Loving the black hair....very.nice! I love the intro, letting folks know what had to happen for those of us alive today! Makes one think! Personally... My line will end with me, but I have 3 other siblings that all have offspring! Me...a very rare genetic blood disorder that ended the lives of my grandfather, great grandfather and several others in our line that passed from a similar fate. Fortunately, doctors can treat it now, but I chose not to take the chance of passing it down to a child.

[@fettiestube5692]

Looove it

[@JStephens_73]

I was up early enough this morning to catch the premiere and have since then watched it 6 times, including this one lol

[@michaeldecker3480]

Could you imagine watching this high?

[@2beans_and_a_bug]

Hmm, I just might have to find out tonight and get back to you! 😉🤣

[@tonipolkki4728]

Yes. It was awesome 😂

[@deanabennett8461]

​@@2beans_and_a_bug i had that thought too 😂😂

[@guidoheuts]

Hey Jynger, first of all I'd like to compliment you with that gorgeous black hair, you look stunning! As for the reaction; like always, a stellar job :) Greetings from the 32th Dutch division of the Nightwish Army.❤

[@ManuelGuajardo-zd7hx]

Jynger great reaction to wintersun nightwishs sister band. And you might ask how are they related? Nightwish has band members that were in wintersun before. Marko the nightwish bass player the blonde guy with the long braided viking beard was replaced by wintersun bass player jukka. And nightwishes former drummer jukka was replaced by wintersun drummer kai. So that's how they are sister bands. And I just can't wait for the next wintersun reaction for you wintersun time live rehearsal video at Sonic pump studio in Helsinki Finland. Thank you so much for all of your commitment that you give for your subscribers like myself jynger. Wintershn Alex ❄️❤️🌹

[@majbrat]

Its gorgeous.

[@timhutchinson8485]

I wonder if they filmed in the London Museum of Natural History?

[@gene6690]

Dark Complex and intriguing

[@myspacewolf]

First of all you were one of the first ones I thought of doing a reaction to this video the first time I saw it... I've had to watch it a few times for several reasons... One I just can't get enough of it and two to just immerse myself into the lyrics... I love the way each member had their moment to shine in the video as well as the song... Floor truly accented everything and then it was capped off by Troy at the end what an incredible song... PS yesterday felt like Christmas when I woke up to new epic Nightwish music

[@cerberus255]

they do this again well done mr.Holopainen

[@Mars-is4un]

🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 Great Job as always Jynger

[@RockYuo72]

I agree . Thanks.

[@DutchRedhead]

It is a mix from human nature! A little bit "noise", A little bit "music", A little bit "Endlessness"and so on.. is this the new Nightwish? do I like it? not yet, but that happend to more songs..O Yeah, This is gooooood!

[@milanistanellanima]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@toddmunkholm9724]

Sounds like a song from the last album.

[@sonet1978]

[@Luca-games007]

Havent seen You a while Jynger, You're soooo cool in all black \m/

[@stpfs9281]

I can't remember being so excited in anticipation, for a while! An epic journey! Radioactivity [Paradise, What about us?]. Creation of stars, neurons, our ancestors. Freediving. [Ocean Born?]. The Yonaguni Monument. We are the dream of many ancestors. [Everdream?]. Natural History Museum Library at Tring, Charles Darwin, Voyage of HMS Beagle. Underwater rivers (of different salinity, real not CGI). Scary Giant Angler Fish! [Sounds of the Humpback Whale, a 1970 album of humpback whale songs, recorded by Roger Payne, Katie Payne and Frank Watlington, is still the best-selling nature sounds album of all time]. Coelacanth (thought to be long extinct, there was a video clip in the entrance to The Natural History Museum in London). Impossible birds! Thomas letting your know, this is imagination… Poor baby Barn Owl :) How many arms does scary Floor have? Muppet comedy? Dodo, extinction. Leap of faith, [Elan?]. Landing “On the Origin of Species”. Where is TGSOE? 3:57 "Eyes of Sharbat Gula", that ‘look’ from Floor! Finches, the specific adaptation of which inspired Charles Darwin. Spooky Tuomas grabbing a book. [Interstellar?] Why is Kai thumbing backwards? [History?] Poor Emppu "sneezing" :) Troy the magician. The Butterfly effect! [Fringe?] Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, William Shakespeare. The flight of Terns. Mona Lisa. Jukka vanishing. Finches again, Goldfinch taking flight. Did the diver actually get to swim with Humpback Whales and vertically sleeping Sperm Whales? Perfume, Ambergris! We are the distillation of our ancestors dreams. Tuomas the tree-hugger becomes a tree. Wrecks. Humanity, litter. Edited & Directed by: Ville Lipiäinen (of course!) A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts High Hopes!

[@manuelmorante9465]

👍👍😎😎🤘🤘

[@124Spider5]

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. I had never thought about how I got here, today, alive. If anyone still had doubts that Nightwish ARE THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD, right now?. So I just have to say that humanity is no longer thinking for itself. It's the "NEW" AI that everyone talks about, but they don't even pay attention to what it means. NIGHTWIH FOREVER SINCE EVER.

[@MrSardine17]

Promenade deck of Titanic? Yes, of course, I'm ordering the album. Thomas, Floor, Troy..... just...

[@RRK1965]

You should react to the new video of Charlotte Wessels, The Exorcism. I hope you like it.

[@fraukehammer4624]

Why is the feeling getting stronger and stronger in me that the era of Nightwish will end with the next album Yesterwinde? 2026 is the 30th anniversary of the band. The new album took 4 years. There is also no tour planned with the new album. I think there will be a 30th anniversary compilation and with luck a final concert in Tampere with all current and former band members. That's my opinion.

[@wanmac31]

🤘😊🇫🇮💙🪄🎼✨💯👍

[@nevermore5168]

You know, I was waiting very patiently for your reaction, my love. I saw the different emotions from you and it was almost equal to mine. Sorry don't mean for that to sound creepy but it's true. I'm still high from this song and if the album to follow is as awesome as this song is? Then we just went MORE down the rabbit hole as they wanted us to!🎼🙂🌹

[@unkelib4391]

wonder if it wearily is floor making that heigh pitch vibrating bell like sound at 7 mints to me it sound like a glissando from deep down ending in that sound but it can bee a a keyboard sound ending it for her

[@PittDaddy]

It's a beautiful video. The music is typical of them and I look forward to the rest of the album. Floor is wonderful. I really do miss Marco's voice. Troy tries, but it's not the same. He always seems to be straining to get the notes. I still think they need to replace Marco's voice with another powerful male voice.

[@Magga-f3z]

Kiitos. TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN.

[@gerrygrouwe70]

🤘🤘🤘👄👄👄💝💝💝

[@trfmusic902]

Not a fan of Nightwish but the music video is one of the best ive seen in a while

[@marinaa.6140]

The video is better than the song! And I love the song❤!

[@brianwillson9567]

Am i the only one to think this is pretentious tosh? I'll stick with imaginaerum and once.

[@mnewm21]

I am unsure, but it doesn't strike me as a single? It certainly doesn't make me want to rush out and buy the album and it is missing a hook. I have no problems with the concept and if it is simply the first song on the album then that would also make sense. I find the video distracting. If you haven't listened to the song without the video do that. Improved the song immensely for me.

[@JBeetje73]

The fantastic video hides how bad the new Nightwish song is.

[@reeilona]

WHAT?? This is WONDERFUL song!

[@mnewm21]

@@reeilona I'm somewhere between you two...it isn't a bad song but i don't find it memorable it is missing a hook for me. I do wonder if they are getting a bit carried away. It's not really a single, this isn't something that would make me buy the album. It's not a Storytime or Amaranth, Nemo or Endless Forms Most Beautiful which are more what I would expect as a single release. Noise was that for the previous album, it had a hook and was simple enough to stick in your head. It has made me curious about the album though, whether that is good curious I am unsure.

[@duncanwyer2460]

🇬🇧 Norfolk happy for a new one 😊 a few moments in the mind blowing mind of Tuomas would be a dream
