I'm gonna get all sappy and sobby here but frick it. I'm one of the too many suffering from depression, and a frequent struggle of finding "a point" of doing basic essential things to keep my life going. This song brings me to tears. It's not only beautiful, but it reminds me of the people who are always there to pick me up. The ones who care. Good friends, great family and wonderful partner. This track gives me strength in a time when I need it. And I hope it can do the same for others too. You don't need to do it alone. Thank you, Floor, Tuomas, Marco, Emppu, Troy and Kai.

I've listened to this many times and each time I notice another little thing about it that I love. It really feels like Nightwish is reaching out to anyone who is going through a hard time, saying, "We're here, you're not alone. You'll be okay. There's hope." I've suffered from depression, anxiety, ADHD, and panic attacks and had suicidal thoughts for several years, and this song feels like a gentle embrace and a reminder that there are people who care, that my illnesses can be beaten. "Burn the rope and dance some more/Dull the blade and dance some more," they are saying, don't give up, don't end your life, we're here and we care, keep going. It gets better. Thank you Tuomas, Marko, Emppu, Troy, Kai, and Floor for this beautiful song and message. You guys are bringing hope in a dark time. We love you!

I have had to deal with a lot of depression and crushing anxiety. Part of why I'm on disability, a "gift" from insomnia and chronic illness. It fluctuates, some days can be very dark, some are merely grey. But Tuomas has put the color back for me. Nightwish sparkles my scenery, tucks me in under the blue. They fend off the swinging pendulum, dull the blade and burn the rope. It's like Tuomas has been rummaging around in my head, finding things that need to be dragged out and whacked hard with a shovel.

_Sorrow hides well in your shell_ _A fellow man with hurt to spare_ _Dear one,_ _Here I am to share the fear_ _An act of kindness_ _Without an amen_ _How's the heart underneath the silence?_ _How's the one drowning in the mire?_ _Let us sound a human paean_ _Come in, the fire's warm_ _Burn the rope and dance some more_ That got to me, I've been battling depression for YEARS and I am no stranger to the feeling of not wanting to see the light of another day. But because of a few people in my life, they inspired me to keep going. I love the music that Nightwish brings, when they say "music speaks to you" it is true, though not all of the music you hear speaks to you directly, which is why Nightwish is one of the VERY few artists I have a passion for.

I see Elize, so need to give thumps up. The entire album is getting even better the more I am listening. Even the NWO needed to let the truth pass because it is hidden as art. So the album hit No.1 on Germany's LP-charts on its first entry. Big "Noise", only comparable with those from 911, all around the globe, although, according to the world's first known scientific study in Heinsberg (Germany's epi-centre of Corona), where they had a representative sampling of both, healthy and infected ppl by excluding of infected ppl who died on heart attack, strokes and else, both infection rate and death rate are not different from ordinary flu, so what ? Like at 911 it's not about the evidence, it's all about the measures that will remain to get us one more step into the brave new world. Along with 5g, nano tech and more monitoring technique, we are all witnessing the prequel of the Matrix trilogy: "How did mankind get into the matrix ?"

Nightwish was a surprise discovery for me. Somehow in the late 90's I was watching a show called "The Snowman" (likely because my first born was in 1996). I heard the song "Walking in the Air" (don't even know which recording) and fell in love with the song. Later I decided to look it up and of all places I found it listed on a Nightwish album called "Oceanborn". I went to my local music store and had to order the album - it shipped from overseas - and finally arrived a few weeks later. As a progressive / classic rock fan and a professional (back then) grade trombonist I already had a wide musical pallet. This exposed me to something I had never heard - I loved it - and even now I'm waiting for the latest album to ship. I like all lineups of the band and so far I'm grateful they are still making music. :-)

Troy’s backing vocals add another deep and calming layer to the course as well, and I love his additional vocals on this song, as well as on the other songs of this album and on Endless Forms Most Beautiful! The other aspects of this song that I love are Troy’s pipes played along with the guitar before the verses of the song! The drumming is nice and tight, and does a really amazing job at keeping the song together! Given the times in which we’re living right now, I think that this song and the question it asks are something that everyone should keep in mind!

I receive quite a lot of encouragement from friends or from strangers like yourself. And I realize who doesn't act this way. I have a feeling that my friend group will get a little smaller but better in the end... It's true (for me) that hardship changes perception of life and people. Concerning your allegations that you are not a perfect human being and not as good as you want to be all I have to say is : NOBODY is perfect. Certainly I am not. But you seem to be aware of at least some of your flaws and are trying to improve yourself. That earns my respect and I wish you the success you need. (it was a conscious philosophical "need" instead of "want").

The drum beat during opening riff sounds like beating heart... there is just so much detail going to those songs. Love it.

[@nataliemolyneux8951]

At times the drum beat sounds like a heart beat, especially when the ulliean pipes are playing then Floor sings at one point like the beat of a heart 😍. Maybe I'm listening too much into it. I love finding and hearing these little things ❤ so many layers and details in these songs xx This song has saved me. I've been waking up for the past few nights with this song playing in my head. I cry at the second verse every time. Its such a beautiful song. Thank you Tuomas and Nightwish ❤

[@marijasquirrel]

Wow...this one made me cry instantly. Just beautiful.

[@dejannightwish]

Slatka ne toliko metalska pesma ali mocna u isto vreme,zato je ovaj bend za mene najbolji na svetu,ne moras da napravis neku metalcinu da bi iskazao emocije nego mozes i ovakvim pesmama i to funkcionise savrseno.

[@archeryvibes]

Now, this is a Nightwish ballad as we're all expecting... ♥♥♥♥

[@tamillern]

Amazing how Tuomas and the rest of Nightwish can surprise me over and over with their wonderful music, wonderful :-)

I love the way the guitar riff simulates the heartbeat.. 3:00 nice!!

[@fjnw]

Did you notice the drums from 0:10 and from 1:25 also simulate a heartbeat? Genius! Well performed by Empu and Kai.

[@Kevin3001full]

[@charleysonnydickinsonvuori7833]

Ooh it does as well. Just another reason to love Emppu and this song!

and the tempo of the song is 103-104 BPM, as for Stayin' Alive - the right tempo to give CPR chest compressions :)

what a masterpiece this album, nightwish just getting better and better, like an old wine

[@nourann5099]

This song is so good and comforting. I've been dealing with suicidal thoughts for a while, so that might have an impact on my interpretation, but "drowning in the mire" "burn the rope and dance some more" "dull the blade and dance some more" hit close to home. Thanks Nightwish for constantly making awesome music !! So far my fav songs from this album are Noise, Harvest, Shoemaker, How's the Heart, the Green, the Blue and Ad Astra. I think the other songs are cool too and I have to relisten to them to really appreciate them, but I'm too busy listening to my fav songs

[@rokorino9666]

The ending gives me chills.... Another master piece

[@geraldgetskow3420]

I don't know which version I like more, this or the acoustic version that was also released today. Hell, I love them both.

[@hazelz.9785]

Actually a perfect song for this time

[@annalaurafontinovo6298]

Non poteva mancare una ballata delle loro.......fantastico questo ultimo CD❤

[@flikcbigg]

Floors perfect vocals with Marco/Troy just seeping through a little in the background to make a beautiful whole. I seriously love how the vocal talents of the band are used on this album with this track being a great example.

[@burake.2440]

3:06 Can't get over this part. My absolute favorite...

[@StrifeZack343]

Really headbangy

[@devanmariestrand3106]

When I first started listening to Nightwish it was mostly their older stuff so I was of course "Team Tarja" (will always love her though and she has the best Christmas album ever!) But as time goes by and I listen to Floor not only covering old Nightwish but also performing masterpieces such as this song, I now feel that not only is she my personal favorite of the Nightwish leads, she is truly one of my favorite singers of all time! Her range and versatility are just unreal and so very preciously rare. Floor, you are what Nightwish was waiting for!! 🥰🤘❤️

[@Raziel21K]

My sentiments exactly. And can come only from an old NW fan. Though tbh the more "unprejudiced" ones are the ones that met the band recently and so they are not clouded by old experiences. For us the old fans takes sometime to get there. And some will never get there...because whatever 😂

[@PaulOutdoors]

Yes, all three leading Nightwish ladies were/are of their time and essential to the evolution of Nightwish but for me Tuomas found his shangri-la when Floor joined Nightwish 🙏😊👍❤️

[@vargasvector]

The heart is in pain, right now. But, thankfully, Nightwish came up with amazing new songs that soothe, make us think and look at ourselves. I'm amazed.

[@chris90456]

This is the most emotional song on the album. I cry everytime i hear it. So touching

[@davidmeikle6719]

Another outstanding album. I'm 53 being a drummer I have listened and played with a whole array of music. But for the last 15 years Nightwish have been my number one music fix. This album has many many different and difficult arrangements, but it all runs so smoothly in a perfect rhythm; A sea of melody if you will! I would personally like to say to Kai, great stick and kick combination man, really great stuff. wow! Floor, your vocals just left me speechless and a small tear to my eye at times. Emppu's riff's really gets the blood pumping, air guitar galore. Marko, thunder roaring bass licks are fantastic. Love your work Troy. Tuomas, well what can anyone say, you are the master, enough said! On a personal note I do miss Emppu solo's, more guitar solo's next time please.

[@redpillbulgaria-v2.063]

Same here... Been listening to Nightwish regularly for about 10 years... Anything else just sounds boring.

[@khahto]

thank you sir!

[@cornflowerofsweden1288]

Oh, what a lovely song! It's the kind of masterpiece that, at the same time will bring a smile to your lips and tears to your eyes. I'm not even going to try to write something clever. This is the Nightwish I love that can bring an old cynic to tears.

[@nroke1684]

The final line to this always gives me chills.

It's better than Century Child and a bit worse than Dark Passion Play. Nightwish had better albums than this one. I hope they'll get back the inspiration for the next ones. This sounds too commercial!

Damn it, I find myself crying every time I come back to listen. Somehow it finds all that hurt hidden deep down that I wasn't even thinking of, gives it a beautiful voice and turns it into hope.

[@biancaarmstrong5097]

How’s the heart? Is it suffering? Is it in pain? Is it broken? Even when you feel all this, your heart is still whole. Your heart is still beating meaning you’re still standing. Deep down there is a light inside your heart that is burning and shining brightly cause you didn’t lose hope. Even in the darkest and deepest despair, your heart will continue to beat for hope and love with people that care for you by your side.

[@Glavny_po_vsemu]

That's the best I've heard in the last decade. NIGHTWISH from the first album remains my favorite team to this day. I bought the first album just at random from "pirates" just asking for something heavy but with a voice and beautiful music. And now I 've been your fan for more than 20 years !
