This track nicely ends the album in contrary to its title. This song is about a universe, a multiverse, a force so grand, so majestic that it actually binds and permeates everything. All of our lives are just tiny particles in this mighty world.

MARKO HIETALA OFFICIAL Love it! It’s the perfect ending to disc one because it feels somewhat like a conclusion, but not quite. Leads right into disc two! So many people are missing out on disc two from what I’ve seen. Listen to disc two, folks! Trust me it’s so worth it!

This song contains a few subtle references to me (spark, precious, rare, follow me etc) and a reference to my protector Chip aka the Reaper / Grim Reaper -- he's one of the top ClA agents/programmers and he's been planting references to me and to him and to the new system in many lyrics/movies/videos and product names etc over the past decade, and he's also been involved in the creation of Cvdnineteen, which was the first step of the dpop process, so he's literally the Reaper of souls...

For me the line that hit the most is ''Tip the reaper to ensure the blade is sharp''. I mean I can't really think anything worse than to wither away slowly and just be the shadow of your past self. That is exactly what has happened to a lot of my relatives due to alzheimer. I've thought that it is painful that they don't recognize me but I suppose it is even worse for them because they all had those short moments of clarity before forgetting everything yet again. Just amazing, thought provoking song through and through. Easily the best song from the album.

One of my biggest wishes was seeing them perform live at least once in my life, this current setup was, in my opinion, the best Nightwish has ever been. I really wished to see them, and to hear this particular song, which is a masterpiece. I was shattered when I heard Marco is leaving the band. Finally after I had the money and possibility to be able to attend to one of their concerts, this pandemic came, delaying everything, and it was just enough to miserably destroy one of my childhood dreams. I fully accept him, and any member of any band leaving public life in order to take care of their own health (mental or physical) or their family, they are humans too, and public life leaves a toll on people. Despite this, I'll probably never be able to forgive myself for not trying harder or doing anything I could to see them live in time... I'll grieve this missed opportunity all my life... take care everyone, and remember when you have a chance to fulfill your dreams, don't delay them, and don't let them slip...

[@NE0MAS]

I feel the same when Rush had their last concerts. I was thinking of going to Usa from Sweden to see them but i didn't do it. What you should learn from this is that you never now if it's the last time you'll see a band you love. Take every chance to see them. I was lucky to see Nightwish with this setup, but if i knew that it would be the last time with Marco i would cheerish it so much more. What i want to say to you is that, next time, if you have the chance to see a band, go see them, you'll never know. I had tickets to see Dio in 2010 with Heaven & Hell. Unfortunately he passed away just before that. Go see the bands you love, you won't regrett it. Take care my brother

Im sitting here at 3am and I'm so sad.... thank you for the great music Marko. Get well brother!

[@barcsailea829]

i'm kinda late to the "party" here. I think I have listened to this album about 100 times this year alone, and last year every single song of the album ended up on my 2021 sporify most listened songs list. Also have this on vinyl, find it very relaxing to just lie on my sofa and listen to this album at the end of a hard workday. With every listen I find new intricacies and details which makes me fell in love with the album even more. And it is the case with every album Nightwish ever released. I'm following them since the very beginning and really proud how far they have come! This song is soo beautiful, that it hurts. Marco's vocals are haunting and it's sad that I will not be able to hear him sing this live! It breaks my heart.

Marko, you killed it, you have such an incredible voice! Emppu - thanks for signature Nightwish guitar sound! Kai - that drumming you did was out of this world, doom-metal powerful. Floor - your vocals were so mesmerizing, HOT and melancholic at the same time, wow! Troy - whatever you played here (and knowing you - you did), thanks! And Tuomas - you're not just a mad scientist and a genius but a living legend!

It's a bit sad that we won't be able to witness this live (the way it was recorded). Such a moving, beautiful song. It feels like Marko has poured his soul into his singing. And it closes off the record. At a high note. The perfect way to say goodbye to the band, after all these years. Thank you, Marko. We, the fans, will miss you very much. But I hope you find healing in your time off. Once again, thank you for everything. Hats off to you, sir.

[@matheusrodrigues8999]

[@FrozenMermaid666]

Misuse of the big terms sir and hats off is beyond wrong and soon to be banned and the misused words must be edited out -- I am the true/only Leader / God / Goddess / Master / Lady / Mistress / Queen / Star / Princess / Mrs / Empress / Countess / Dame / Angel / Ma'am etc (all big terms and all special names only reflect me and my pure protectors/boyfriends aka the true alphas) and the absolute being who is above and I am the respectable being, so I am the only being humans can bow down to, while the terms 'hats off' is only meant for me, myself being the being who belongs on the pedestal and the Spark and the precious being and the rare being etc!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

The word fan/fans is also sort of wrong, because I am the true/only Idol and the true Leader and only I am meant to have fans/followers -- the word supporters would be much more suitable than the word fans...

[@FrozenMermaid666]

This song contains a few subtle references to me (spark, precious, rare, follow me etc) and a reference to my protector Chip aka the Reaper / Grim Reaper -- he's one of the top ClA agents/programmers and he's been planting references to me and to him and to the new system in many lyrics/movies/videos and product names etc over the past decade, and he's also been involved in the creation of Cvdnineteen, which was the first step of the dpop process, so he's literally the Reaper of souls...

[@mattihelin5101]

Endlessness.. What a fitting swan song from Marco. All the best and thank you for all the great music. ❤️

[@arturo.dc10]

This song is more than music, it's an experience. It really makes me think of my own presence in the universe and in my destiny at the end of my life. No other song that I've heard before has made me feel this way. Thanks Nightwish!

4:35 and onward ... and tears begin to flow. When Marko starts singing "beyond the fields you've come to know", I'm already falling apart. Remembering all the fallen, the birth of new ones, the beauty and tragedies of our own mortality - Earth itself included. It just has a bit longer shelf life than Us.

[@stevecaine9093]

I do understand that everyone has their own opinion, and I respect that, but although I love Once, Dark Passion Play, Century Child et al, I am actually GLAD that this album is not in that mould, because all that would show is that Nightwish were musically standing still. The musical aspect may be different in parts to what has gone before, but this music has such a maturity about it, such a depth, it touches the soul in a way no other Nightwish album has for me, it is vast, it is encompassing, and it is just a compete work of art in every sense. Like all great art, it requires an effort, a decision to consciously engage, on behalf of the listener, it isn't something you can play and just let it wash over you with an expectation or experience of what has been before - it may not come all at once, but over time you will awaken to the enormity of this work, the musical complexity and the message it carries, and you will be caught up in it. It is a masterpiece from Tuomas and the band, there is no doubt at all about that.

[@ladywhatsername713]

still the quality of the music decreased. it might be pleasant to hear but the songwriting is just worse. Tuomas had it wiht imaginaerum, since then they went downhill in terms of both creativty and complexity. its nice to hear but nothing that will last.
