REACTION (MUSIC) NIGHTWISH

[@tonyelsom6382]

Nightwish has outdone themselves with this entire album!..and Floor's singing is simply angelic right through, and the prime reason for the goosebumps and tears brought throughout the experience. NO other vocalist has this effect on me, so you're not alone Kelly, all of us has that experience with NW. Great hearing little man purr his approval too..

[@WardDorrity]

I keep coming back to your thoughtful reactions to Nightwish's masterpieces. Their latest release reflects Nightwish's and Tuomas' in particular ongoing maturity and evolution. Tuomas is a remarkable man - he questions much, feels deeply and it is obvious that he has an unslakable thirst for comprehension. I mean, who else writes like this? Who else save the musical giants of our history composes like this? Toumas has recently said that Nightwish is far from done - that there is so much more he wants to be able to convey. Thank you for helping others understand the deeper and often stunningly beautiful and profound meanings behind his work.

Cat's purr is also music to my ears 😺

[@argantyr5154]

Exactly its one of the best and most soothing sounds :)

[@itsjollylumpkin2402]

That's true for me too. And there are studies, which are showing that these purrs can decrease the human blood pressure and heart rate. 😽😽😽

[@dennisweifenbach2647]

Music is one of the truest forms of emotion. It really doesn't take explanation or interpetation. It all takes place right between your ears. Music can take you anywhere, any time and any place. Music is the ultimate expression to experience in life.

[@greylight5]

Music, as something that existed since the beginning of time, yet lives in us and transforms us... it's something very spiritual and touched me very deep inside.

[@nimwey7701]

OMG girl, wait till you hear the end of Shoemaker, my first listening to this song made me cry like a little kid

[@jukkahelminen9071]

That ending makes you really speechless... And I have feeling I´m in heaven - or in stars in this case :)

[@Thorgrim247]

You said it Kelly. Music is a gift given to humanity. Beautiful poem to start the show my friend. The opening gives me the vibe of an orchestra tuning up before the performance. Then you see the dark landscape and suddenly a light appears in the distance. Then another one followed by more. In my opinion these are fires illuminating the darkness as the clans hear the bear bone playing, calling out to listen to the first music. When the chorus takes over the tears started to flow just watching your joyous reaction to the sound. Such a beautiful chorus and the lyrics are amazing. I knew you would appreciate this CD, because you understand the intricacies and complexity of music and poetry. Words are so important to Tuomas and you are the only reactor so far to understand and feel the depth of the lyrics. No one else has understood the melismatic, as opposed to syllabic vocal style which Tuomas has composed for this song. Only a vocalist like Floor could even pull this off, especially live. Beautifully analyzed once again my friend. Be well and stay safe. Until the next time, peace and love.

[@KellyDeaconKDzJOY]

You have provided the illustration of the beginning with the lights.... very insightful : ) The beginning was a formation of 'song'..... it was becoming organized. Thank you again for being here and for your kind comments....... Next weekend is Shoemaker!

[@Thorgrim247]

@@KellyDeaconKDzJOY It was my pleasure Kelly. You truly are wonderful and insightful and a total joy to experience these reactions with because you get it. I love your poetic soul and emotional spirit. I will join you for the next one. I am anxious to see your response. The song is an ode to Eugene Shoemaker an American geologist and one of the founders of the field of planetary science. He co-discovered Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with his wife Carolyn S. Shoemaker and David H. Levy. This comet hit Jupiter in July 1994: the impact was televised around the world. Shoemaker also studied terrestrial craters, such as Barringer Meteor Crater in Arizona, and was the first scientist to conclude that these craters were caused by meteor impacts. He was also the first director of the United States Geological Survey's Astrogeology Research Program. He was killed in a car accident while visiting an impact crater site in Australia. After his death, some of his ashes were carried to the Moon with the Lunar Prospector mission. Be well and stay safe my friend.

[@gakon0011]

I think some of the first sounds of the song sound like the sound of the wind blowing through a rock in a cave, or a bamboo tree. I'm not sure, but if combined with the first verse it fits quite well. Before human arrived, the house of music was cloud, wind, bird sound, sound of northern light, etc.

I am in love with the entire album, it's a masterpiece! I truly believe they've outdone themselves. I hope you plan to continue with the rest of it!

[@calibadgerdude6082]

I love the characterization of music as an entity in this song’s lyrics. You talk about how the third part is the human soul and I think you hit something right on the head there. Music is soul, but not in the way most people think of “soul”. One could argue all day about where the soul of music resides. Is it in the composer? The performer? The listener? I think it’s something more than that. It is all of these, yes, but there’s something more beyond. Music happens when these souls combine and create an experience that is utterly unique in each circumstance. No two people will ever experience the same “music”, no matter who the composer or performer are, because each person has their own soul and this combines with the heart of the music to make that unique experience.

[@bloodhayze]

You and Kelly have started the million dollar conversation that we should be having. The "soul of music" and where it resides. Im only 25, have only been listening to music intently for only 12 about years and dont know much of anything about these things. I've taken concert band throughout middle school and high school and all this time this has been a thought that has been behind the back of my mind. What is truly music, and why does it have such a profound impact on our lives? When Nightwish talks about music "fanning the flames of the mystery", i wonder what is that mystery? Maybe the mystery of the soul.

[@eddiewinehosen6665]

Hello Swankysweller..... that's really wonderful to hear how it takes you back to memories. Wow, that's what music is supposed to give us..... the connection.

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

Haha, my cat was lying on my chest when watching. For me "music" is a slow building opener of the whole album, like welcoming us to they journey with them. Very difficult song to sing (not for Floor of course). Thank you for the emotional reaction and very thoughtful analysis of the lyrics.

[@vstarflies]

Music: harmonic connector of souls Thank you for taking the time to listen and analyze the first song of this amazing work Tuomas and the crew have shared with us. This song has (personified) music sharing its history with us and our symbiotic relationship with it; music is one aspect of what it means to be human and our connection to nature, and this song sets the stage for a deep dive into.... human:||:nature. I think you will love the journey. Be well.

[@eddiewinehosen6665]

There's no such thing as a "soul". A purely religious concept without a single shred of evidence supporting it!

[@Vimana]

Thank you Kelly! You're in for a ride and it's such a beautiful journey. It's hard to describe music with just three or four words. I still write this: It's a universal language that speaks directly to our hearts and communicates with our true being. It brings forth the wisdom of the heart we need to share. It makes me grateful to be human.

[@AlvenmodFoto]

Great reaction and I love the lyrical analysis. "Singing the tale of another man" to me is the storytelling aspect of music. Describing this piece in a few words? Wow, this song just touches the heart of being human, music separates us from the animals and is in my opinion human's greatest accomplishment. This song just captures that beauty and accomplishment beautifully. looking forward to more reactions from Human Nature, please continue with the lyrical analysis, it is very interesting to hear other people's interpretations. you nailed this one I think.

[@Green-Lyon]

I read this in a KZbin comment I think, and I forget who to attribute it to, but someone said, "Music is what emotions sound like". Tuomas's original idea was "to tell the story of the entity of music descending on mankind". Musically, the demo shifted musical genres with each part of the song. While he scrapped that idea, I'm not sure if the theme remained. If so, I guess Floor would be the "Entity of Music".

[@KellyDeaconKDzJOY]

I like your comment contribution here. Well stated. I do believe that is very true, music is the sound of emotions.

It is funny how much they have studied cats they still don't know how cats are doing the purring, they don't know what part of their body they use to do it. This album is from start to finish pure magical music, this is by far Tuomas best compositions ever. Someone in a Finnish Facebook music page said that Tuomas is our music teacher, has been for the last 24 years, I think it so true.

[@KellyDeaconKDzJOY]

Little Man insists on jumping up on my lap when I sit down for videos. If I don't allow him, he just rubs up against the table and the computer and camera sway around, prob. make people dizzy. LOL. Oh, I agree with you (and the FB music page)..... Tuomas has been our teacher...... I tend to feel he was present for the birth of song (metaphorically speaking and in my opinion) Tuomas was sent as a muse to inspire our world. In fact, when I use spoken poem at the beginning of the 'music' reaction I am talking about Tuomas.

[@renejensen7799]

This song is a great opening track for this album, and also one of the top songs in my opinion, well the top picks on the album is still very close, there might be 3 or 4 other songs, and Music is not my favorite still, but close.. the song builds slowly as human discover the musical instruments. The drums and percussion then that harp from 2800BC that takes up the whole screen floating in space then the voice and other instruments through to the electric guitar solo. The greedy crowd also is like making music for yourself and not for the audience...be true to yourself and if others also see the merit they will partake. Great reaction, and explanation of lyrics(your thoughts), loved it!!

[@bibi-ki1nx]

Hello, when Tuomas wrote Music , he meant the very first song ,found on the pot you see at the base of the lyre in 1400 B,C,E here is a link kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6Hbf2WMjbWAgsU ,I think you were spot on.

[@edudario1974]

"Shadows of shadows passing. It is now 1831, and as always I am absorbed with a delicate thought. It is how poetry has indefinite sensations, to which end music is inessential. Since the comprehension of sweet sound is our most indefinite conception, music, when combined with a pleasurable idea, is poetry. Music without the idea is simply music. Without music or an intriguing idea, colour becomes pallor, man becomes carcase, home becomes catacomb, and the dead are but for a moment motionless."

It's great to see you enjoy it and get so emotional on first listen...and your lyrical interpretations are always very insightful. I look forward to watching you react to all of the songs of the new album. I'm wondering to myself if maybe it would be better to do the entire second disc as one big reaction video....hmmm.

[@lossow1]

We were here. Interesting analasys of the lyrics, though in some parts I wonder if the meaning was a little simpler than you made it, for example "Singing the tale of another man" might just mean singing a song someone else wrote, showing how music and song can pass on stories and knowlede.

[@gakon0011]

I think that sentence must go with the whole part later. People often sing other people's songs, they need to listen to themselves for the first song to come to them. Have you read Masanobu Fukuoka's "A Straw Revolution" book? In it he talks about having children listen to the music of nature, and the music and singing will come to them on their own (not by trapping them in four walls with a guitar for hours of practice). ) Mastering an instrument, of course, requires a lot of hard work, but creativity comes from the soul. Tuomas also said that the best way for him to be inspired to compose is to sweat for hours in the nature. Sorry for the bad english

[@tarmotyyri6733]

In a recent interview Tuomas told that at first he composed this song combining different genres (classical, blues, jazz, rock & what have you) of music that have evolved through ages, but it sounded awful, so he rewrote the whole song. P.S. People who say dogs are a man's best friend couldn't be more wrong. Without cats we all would die of extinction due to exploding rat & mice populations eating out food & spreading diseases.

you really should listen an d react to " How's the heart" acoustic version , it's pure magic !!

[@KellyDeaconKDzJOY]

I will likely be reacting to all of the songs, in order on the album. When you say acoustic version, is that on the album, or another version posted somewhere? Thanks.

@@KellyDeaconKDzJOY , it's not from the album , it was for a radio called Planet Rock, where only Floor and Troy does 2 songs acoustic , Nemo and How's the heart

Music is the look through one's eyes and thoughts, and a conduit to evoke emotion.
