Nightwish - Perfume Of The Timeless (REACTION) with my wife

[@elfes.schmitt2284]

Nightwish makes me at least try to be a better human every day. This band has always been a life changer to me. Such a nice and lovely reaction again. Thank you!

[@goranelez9956]

Leave it to Nightwish to connect the most explosive drumming part with the most gentle ending.

[@RolfMeyer-cl7ou]

What a Masterpiece. Tuomas the genious and Floor his voice

[@ArchitectB]

It is even more amazing that Tuomas was composing and writing these lyrics during the Covid time. When some of the world was bored or panicking, he was just thinking How much love had to happend so we have all born 😁

[@nardj.5277]

"I want to have Tuomas's brain for one day put into my head". That alone is an epic phrase... I feel with you. Great reaction, guys!

[@ahuggie]

I feel like my skull couldn't contain it. My head would just explode. Tuomas must have some sort of reinforcements.

[@silverblack5475]

It gets better and better with each listen .....I even love Troy at the end now .....crazy . Can't wait to hear them do it live .....in 3 yrs . Lol

[@pdutchie4924]

Love the composition, it grows on you when hearing it more often. Conclusion so far: love it, all Nightwish characteristics are in there❣️ Love Troy’s contribution at the end! Thanks for your reaction again ❤️

[@GeertDeLange-k5x]

[@rosetheoldsoul]

A beautiful reaction to a beautiful song and video 🙏🏻✨ Nightwish/Tuomas always creates something to be felt, remembered and experienced 🤎

[@lillianekockritz2796]

Great reaction to a masterpiece with a great message! Kai Hatho said that Floor's voice is meant not to be so loud but be part of the choir (of the anchestors). The more often you watch this video the better you will understand the lyrics (and many details of the video). I especially love the freedivers (real persons, not CGI) symbolizing the origin of all life from the oceans also of us humans.

[@JWS-66]

nice youre back with Nightwish, a said it at many reactions...Tuomas and Nightwish makes you wonder of the nature, history, evolution I love it..great reaction you 2...Love the video and the music what a Masterpiece...❤from the Netherlands

Love your reaction soooo much!!! Im 61 years old and listen nearly 3 decates to music of Nightwish! I 100% understand you! This piece of art reminds me at the moment in 2015, as i first heared "The greatest show on earth"! Cant wait for the new album on 20th September!

Hi guys, this is a song, which makes you to think. To sit still and think. Check out also Making of the Perfume of the Timeless, Part 1. Tuomas telling something about ideas of this new album Nightwish-Yesterwynde. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGi0kIdrbdOShNksi=CFggFJLK_WQ5g0ha

[@grahambatchelor3576]

Loved your reaction guys. I've lost count with the number of times I've watched this video now but it never ceases to amaze. It's such a deep thought provoking video/song. It just confirms Tuomas is a genious.

[@PaulOutdoors]

Thank you beautiful people for reacting to this irresistible complexity. I've listened to the song countless times but not watched the video all the way through only snippets. 6:05 to 6:35 repeated later is everything I could ask of a Nightwish release musically and vocally and the other 8 minutes are superb also. 👌🙏❤️ "Endless chain unbroken Silent clocks rewinding My song it is for mankind Embers to the stars"

[@user-Rockmagix]

That was epic - and tomorrow I will see Floor live in Einhoven/NL with her solo show. And the pre-show will bring Anette van Giersbergen, who brought Floor into Metal with her group The Gathering. I feel so blessed! Great reaction guys - as always!

[@sateentuoksu]

Happy for you. Have a wonderful evening!

[@orangeguppie6897]

That's nice, i hope you have a phantastic evening at the concert. Groetjes

Thoughtful in depth reaction and analysis to a thoughtful, in depth tune. Great job as always.

[@SteveOpstad]

That smile that Nightwish gives me gets even wider when I'm able to share the experience with you beautiful people! It is wonderful to immerse myself in the magic of Nightwish with the company of people who truly understand and feel the depth of expression found in these creations. I had just hit play on another reactors video when I saw yours appear below it. I had to put the other guy on pause so I could enjoy this with you two. Thanks for sharing your genuine selves with us! Your presence is always puts me in a better mood, and feeling better about humans in general.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you for the beautiful words. Much love from both of us 💚

[@Donna-C]

9:44 - 13:14 - watching you faces, your emotional connection to the music & video is a joy to watch. Your right, “this is Symphonic Metal at it’s finest”. 😊

[@rickphil9999]

Hello you most lovely couple. I have loved your Nightwish reactions since the very first one. You express your feelings in a way that echoes my own. This is such a special group of wonderful people. Tuomas is the creative genius behind all of this music, but it take every member of this band, including our wonderful Floor, to bring this to reality. Lovely. Thank you both.

[@loriec2452]

I have many favorite reactions from you both, but I may have found my favorite one right now. Perfume of the Timeless. The essence of all life, as dust on the palm, last sigh on a death bed, entering the love. Can’t wait for your future reactions to the new album, September 20. 🌎🧬⚡️

[@majbrat]

It's so good, and so positive. Like coming home.

[@marionbolder-brugman7423]

Hey lovely people We should never take anything for granted!! Life is precious!! Lots of love from the Netherlands 💚💚

[@GeertDeLange-k5x]

[@jimharris367]

That is the very definition of Symphonic Metal - fantastic reaction guys, can always count on you two to really get it and feel what the maestro is saying in his wonderfully poetic expressive and thought provoking way. Damned conjunctivitis 🤘

[@karihaapanen7520]

One of the most anticipated reaction to this. And I liked it a usual.

[@TimoArula]

"You are the dream of many ancestors"... what a statement !!!! Another massive song from The Master Tuomas Holopainen. Wow, just WOW... I have my nitpicks about this songs sound mix, but when I Really Dive In (pun intended) to the music and lyrics, this song is as massive as The Greatest Show on Earth. Nightwish makes you think... and thats Good, because there are sadly less and less people who can think and wonder about life and all its grand workings on this day and age... NWSU/FloorFan/Epican/ayreonaut/TWA 🤘😎🤘

[@kevinmorehart1222]

There is no other group that challenges you mentally and musically as Nightwish. Great reaction.......it's so delightful to see this piece touching you both.

[@yerviniansamvel]

Great reaction 2 of you,finally people who do not complain about Floor voice or it's another song about nature,humans existence, you just enjoying this masterpiece and I think this new album gonna be the best,thanks guys

[@larryd4352]

Loved listening to Tuomas' interview with a radio DJ...I think...where he asked Tuomas a lot of questions about their new Album coming out in September! I can't wait for it!!

[@tracyfarnath2270]

Hello, I was, waiting for your reaction. Thanks again for your great response of this brilliant song. I love this band so much. You must think about life and be grateful ❤

🤗🍒🤘🏻😘as always great job

[@busher69]

Your smiles say it all. Another example of the brilliance of Tuomas. Include me as one who would love look inside his mind, the guy simply amazing. God only knows what he has waiting for us down the road.

[@NickBR57]

Ville is to video as Tuomas is to music. Troy really suits the ending too. Fitting to give him that place as he invented the title of the album. Another masterpiece and the mire you listen the more you will hear. Bit, despite the amonut you have done from Nightwish thete is still a ton you have not. Can't wait for the album. I have the earbook on pre-order ...

[@diceau]

The most beautiful composition again from Nightwish. I read that Toumas wanted Floor's voice to blend with the choir in this one rather than stand out on its own

[@20100520able]

Just a beautiful reaction, thank you. 💚🇫🇮

[@raunohamalainen9667]

Nice to have you back! I already missed you😘

[@sateentuoksu]

I absolutely loved your take on this. ❤ Thank you two for being you.

[@sateentuoksu]

Ps. Yes, i also would like to try Tuomas's brain for a day or a week. Just to know, see, feel & understand.

[@renejensen7799]

Nightwish dont dissapoint "did you feel the ghost energy song" I listened to this song maybe 50 times by now, and it is one i like to listen to with my headphones or without, its really a good song, when i can do so to me. Some say Floors voice is low in the mix, and i can agree its hard to get all words she sing, but if you look at it soundwise it sounds amazing!! and after a listen or 2, you know most of lyrics, and its no problem at all, its done fully on purpose for the sound experince of it.. cant wait for rest of album!! Yesterwynde is the opening track on new album, i belive its only like a intro, its a little over 2 min long, #2 on album then is a almost 10 min song, thats proberly another epic!! #3 is where i think they bring in a heavy track, and this Perfume of the timeless is #5.. so i think its gonna be a good mix of heavy songs, Epics, and maybe a full balled.. Perfume of the timeless, well its almonst a ghost energy song right, telling all these ancestors is perfume around in a timeless world, being around you still, also a message that your existens matters!! i feel tuomas also put in a little message that mankind could do better still, Einstein turn to ape.. The title of the album is a word made by band member Troy Donockley, which Holopainen describes as the feeling of time, history, memory, and being connected to past generation, who have "all had their lives, their ups and downs, and they don't exist anymore, except as atoms scattered all over the universe. And we're going to be in that state pretty soon as well. So that should give you something to think about." Holopainen has described the album as being about humanism, history, and the inspiration thereof, and that outlook of the album is positive and optimistic ] Track listing Yesterwynde: release date 20th September 2024 All tracks are written by Tuomas Holopainen. Yesterwynde track listingNo. Title Length 1. "Yesterwynde" 2:43 2. "An Ocean of Strange Islands" 9:26 3. "The Antikythera Mechanism" 5:55 4. "The Day of..." 4:34 5. "Perfume of the Timeless" 8:11 6. "Sway" 4:23 7. "The Children of 'Ata" 5:37 8. "Something Whispered Follow Me" 6:39 9. "Spider Silk" 6:26 10. "Hiraeth" 6:14 11. "The Weave" 4:53 12. "Lanternlight" 6:06 Total length: 71:07

[@JWS-66]

Me to ReneJensen, over 50 times at least....I stil love it the sound is epic, love Tuomas as a composer

[@Thorgrim247]

Those are some of the issues that inspire Tuomas to compose these types of masterpieces. He has a love for the natural world in his heart. We humans have a very short memory and attention span. Love your commentary and reaction as always.

[@Metripoika]

Thanks for your reaction! You spoke so wisely and beautifully. This song made me feel the same way. I became a little sad about how beautiful our world is, how rich our history is and how much the generations before us have done for us - and for what? That our generation could destroy everything. However, at the same time I was happy because this song also gave me hope. Humans have achieved a lot, so maybe we will still come to our senses and save the world for future generations.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Creation of stars, neurons, our ancestors. [I think, therefore I am] A drop of water.

[Everdream?] “A railroad across waters, the scent of grandfatherly love”, [I want my tears back] Natural History Museum Library at Tring, Hertfordshire, UK, Charles Darwin, His Letters, Voyage of HMS Beagle, etc. [TGSOE]. *Underwater rivers* (of different salinity, with toxic Hydrogen Sulphide!). Freedivers: Guillaume Néry (with his wife doing some of the video!) [This ancient unseen stream] Tommi Pasanen also filming, Pavlos Kourtellas. (Footage from “One Breath Around The World” filmed by Franck Seguin) National Geographic, Free Diver; kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmXUfmR_es2nhLM Scary Giant Angler Fish! [“Songs 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 animals and birds!* Hyenas are not capable of walking vertically downwards! Thomas letting you know, _this is imagination…_ Poor baby Barn Owl :) Winding up a music box, for a lullaby? [Taikatalvi?] How many arms does scary Floor have? Muppet comedy? *Dodo.* Extinction by man. Leap of faith, [Élan?]. “The elsewhere creatures yet unseen, Finally your number came up, free fall awaits the brave”. Landing _On the_ “Origin of Species”. Where is TGSOE? 6:03 "Eyes of Sharbat Gula", that ‘look’ from Floor! *Finches,* the specific adaptation of their bills, which inspired Charles Darwin. Goldfinch taking flight. Spooky Tuomas grabbing a book. [Interstellar?] Why is Kai thumbing pages backwards? [History?] Poor Emppu "sneezing" :) [“The Siren”, What was that movie: "The Abyss”?] The Greenland shark (a Sleeper Shark), is the world’s longest living vertebrate. It can live for *400 years!* Troy the magician. The Butterfly effect! [Fringe?] Troy could be a great Walter Bishop! Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, William Shakespeare. The flight of Terns. Mona Lisa. Jukka’s hand is turning back as it vanishes. Finches again. 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, waste, litter. *Water is life. “WE WERE HERE!”* Tuomas makes us think and explore. “Life in us is like the water in a river.” ― Henry David Thoreau “Water is the driving force in nature.” ― Leonardo da Vinci “Water is sufficient... the spirit moves over water.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche, Ecce Homo “In one drop of water, are found all the secrets of all the oceans; in one aspect of you, are found all the aspects of existence.” ― Kahlil Gibran Jr. Edited & Directed by: Ville Lipiäinen (of course!) © A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts Limited Oy 2024 [Jukka Nevalainen, Managing Director].

Some probability calculations: Step 1. Probability of boy meeting girl: one in 20,000. Step 2. Probability of same boy knocking up same girl: one in 2000. Step 3. Probability of right sperm meeting right egg: one in 400 quadrillion. Step 4. Now lets assume that you have just those 12 generations of ancestors mentioned in the intro to this song. For the probability of every one of those 12 generations of your ancestors having reproduced successfully with right sperm having met the right egg is 400 quadrillion to the 12th power. Given these 4 steps, the probability of you being born you at the present moment is 20k x 2k x 400 quadrillion to the 13th power. Going backwards in time with even more generations of your ancestors, we soon reach a probability of 1 divided by the number of atoms in the entire universe. This makes each one of us a unique miracle.

There is a fam made lyric video, Im sure there are several. I prefer that streaming song version better as this video has sound effects that are not prt of the song. But this video needs to be watched many many times. Once you watch the video, the lyrics make so much more sense. The best part about that beginning part is........Tere is no way that we are not all related in one form or another.So Andre is related to Floor in some way.

[@littlemouse7066]

Tuomas is a genius I love the song and the video and we generally don't think about all the generations before us who made possible for us to exist now so I totally agree with you but I must say Tuomas view of the past is very romantic because we know from history that procreation and marriage had nothing to do with love for millenia (and it's still like that in many cultures today) and if you are a woman you were never the dream of your ancestors because we know from history they wanted male children and it's still like that in many cultures today. It's sad I know but that's unfortunately the bad side of humanity a bad side that has been prominent in history for millenia.

[@tomaszzaraza9971]

Sadly, as many others will tell you, vocal mix makes this song muddy

[@JBeetje73]

I can’t help but feel, and it pains me, that on this song they sound more like an aspiring, ambitious Nightwish wannabe band than Nightwish itself; one that’s knocking on the door of promotion from the Championship rather than the 28 times Premier League title holders. .the vocal mix is ​​terrible even though it was intended that way. Bad choice. Moreover, the composition has become a kind of compilation single, everything has already been heard from Nightwish. A dime a dozen, nothing special.

[@clivematthews5296]

I feel sorry for you being unable to appreciate this song as a single entity. Yes there are aspects of other songs but compared with so many bands who just keep churning the same old songs with barely a chord change who shall be nameless it is a masterpiece.
